don't die

Get up early, cook, go to the yard to fertilize and water the vegetable seedlings.

He Tun has already gotten used to this kind of life, he is leisurely and leisurely, without the sense of urgency of being chased by wild animals in the city, without the complexity of getting along with people, the air on the mountain is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and quiet, if you can , Long-term living here is also a good choice.

While pulling weeds in the yard, He Tun heard the sound of the wooden door opening and closing, and paused.

Of course, the premise of all these beautiful days is not to patrol the forest every day to search for dead bodies.

"Let's go." Lin Shen glanced at the person who was still squatting on the ground.

"Well, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach." He sat on his stomach tightly, trying to squeeze out a few drops of sweat on his face. "Can I ask for leave today, the paid one?"

"...what do you say?"

What a week!

He Xie got up angrily, knowing that pretending to be sick was useless to Lin Shen, but in fact, he just wanted to try it out of luck.Seeing that he was unsuccessful, he didn't bother to pretend, dropped a few handfuls of weeds in his hand, and got up listlessly.

Lin Shen stared at him, "You seem a little tired recently."

"No, it's an illusion."

"Work attitude is not enthusiastic enough."

He sat with a wry smile, "How can I be more enthusiastic? Do I have to smile at the bones and corpses in the forest and say: Welcome, come back next time." As he spoke, he remembered that he was in a camping tent a few days ago A suicide was found.When they found it, the people inside had been dead for several days, and the corpses were just beginning to decompose.And decay has a process. Before the flesh of the whole body festers, parasites have crawled into the corpse to lay eggs and rot the fresh flesh.

It was the first time He Tun saw such a disgusting corpse, and he almost vomited out the overnight meal on the spot.Since then, he has had a new shadow about the search for the corpse, and he can't get up to work.

Lin Shen also seemed to have thought about the situation that day, so he persuaded him: "In fact, not every time I encounter such a situation, sometimes it will be better." Of course, most of the time, the scene of the corpse decomposing Nausea, he didn't say that.

He Tun's complexion didn't become any better because of these words.

Lin Shen continued: "And if you think about it carefully, isn't a corpse just a pile of flesh and bones, just like the pork and fish we usually eat, but they are actually animal corpses, aren't they the same..."

Before he could finish speaking, He sat on covering his mouth and ran to the wall to retch.

"Ouch, vomit, vomit! Forget it, I beg you, don't say it."

His face was greener than before, and cold sweat was faintly breaking out on his forehead.

"Listening to what you say, I won't dare to eat meat anymore. As soon as I see meat, I will think of... Ugh! Cough cough."

Seeing that it didn't work, it made He Tun's psychological shadow worse. There was no other way, Lin Shen could only use the ultimate trump card.

"If you continue to slack off like this, I will consider temporarily detaining this month's salary..."

"No! You devil." He sneered, vomiting and tearing up, looking up, "You can't do this."

Looking at those watery eyes looking at him, Lin Shen's mood improved inexplicably.

"Since you're calling me a devil." He smiled and raised the corners of his lips. "Of course I do something worthy of the name."

"..." He Xie finally understood what Yang Bailao was feeling back then.

Finally succumbing to the coercion of the evil money, he reluctantly embarked on this forest tour.Just on the road, I kept praying for myself.

Amitabha, gods from all walks of life bless you, I hope you don’t meet those guys who can’t think of coming here to say goodbye to their lives today.

This is completely tortoise psychology. If you don't meet him today, you won't meet him tomorrow. With the reputation of the Green Lake Forest as a holy place among suicides, will he never be able to meet him?Sooner or later.

Seeing his ridiculous behavior, Lin Shen said helplessly, "It's been so long, you still haven't gotten used to it?"

He sneered, "Some things don't just get used to. For example, you want a tropical fish to get used to life in the North Pole, let a cat learn to bark, let the three fat people next door get used to losing weight, and make you fall in love with men. You say you want to get used to it." You can get used to it, can you achieve what you want to do?"

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at him thoughtfully.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Ha, it's easy to say! For example, let you fall in love with a big man, can you do it? I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up." He satirized in his heart, and he was a little speechless.After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said, and he screamed secretly. Lin Shen's personality has always been easy to take seriously, and he can't take jokes. He won't be angry because of what he said just now, right?

He satirically thought about it, carefully looking at Lin Shen's back in front of him.

I only heard a faint sentence in the wind in front of me.

"You're not me, how do you know that I can't get up when I'm facing..."

He was taken aback for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Lin Shen stopped talking.

He Tun suspected that he was hallucinating, and stared desperately at the person in front of him, but seeing his mouth open wide, he could almost swallow a tennis ball.

Is it an illusion, is it not an illusion?He actually saw that Lin Shen's ears were red, that's right, it was the kind of red blood rushing to the tips of the ears!

He is being shy! ?

He Tun felt that Lin Shen would feel shy when he saw the miracle before the end of the world.

No, why is he shy?Is it embarrassing because he said he can't stand up, or is it purely shy to talk about this colorful topic?Or because of a specific person in the topic...

He was about to be in a mess, so he finally decided not to go any further.No matter what made Lin Shen's ears red, he didn't want to know anymore.These days, if you know too many things, it will be very insecure.

Subconsciously, He Tiao's chrysanthemum tightened slightly, as if there was some kind of ominous omen.

Both of them remained silent, and continued walking in an inexplicably awkward atmosphere, neither of them wanted to bring up another topic.

It wasn't until almost half an hour after walking that He Tun realized the strangeness. It seemed that today he was walking in a continent with no dense forests. Didn't he always take small paths in the past?He raised his head, looked at Lin Shen who was silently leading the way ahead, and suddenly realized something in his heart.

Although Lin Shen spoke harshly, he still considered his psychological shadow after all, and walked on a safe and sunny road today. Is this considered silent care?

Awkward guy, He Xi chuckled inwardly. After noticing this, the embarrassment caused by the previous topic seemed to disappear, and he thought about whether to start a topic for chat.At this moment, I saw something shining at the intersection in front of me?

"Hey, what's that?" Without paying attention, he blurted out directly.

Lin Shen said, "You want to know?"

"En!"

"Really want to know?"

"Otherwise are there fake ones?"

Lin Shen stretched out his finger, picked a stone and sat down. "Then go and see for yourself."

Dare you ask so many questions just to play me?He satirized secretly rolled his eyes, but decided to be self-reliant.In broad daylight, it's not a deep trail, and he doesn't have to worry about danger.

In this way, with a trace of curiosity, he walked to the side of the luminous object.

"Is this... a flower?"

When I got closer, I realized that the reflective thing was a small glass bottle.Under the sunlight, the transparent vial scatters colorful light, which looks like a jewel from a distance.And in this jewel bottle, there is a bouquet of fresh flowers, and there is still a small bottle of water in the bottle.

The young yellow flowers are in full bloom.

He was stunned, "Why is there a vase of flowers here?" He looked around, and saw that the vase was placed by the side of the road, and the land there was flatter than other places, and it was also very neat, as if it was often Someone is coming.

Before, he didn't notice these details.A bouquet of small flowers in a glass bottle swayed slightly in the wind on this mountain road where few people come.He Yan blinked his eyes, as if he understood something.

"Is this a tribute to the dead?" He turned back and asked Lin Shen.

Looking back, Lin Shen had already been lying on the big rock at some point, squinting slightly against the bright sunlight above his head.The wind blew his black hair, and the pair of brown eyes appeared and disappeared under the hair, facing the sky, revealing a smooth side face, like a silhouette.He sat dumbfounded for a moment.

Lin Shen replied: "Yes."

"Does someone come to exchange fresh flowers every month? It seems that people come often."

"This is not too often. In the forest to the west, there is a couple who go up the mountain every morning, light incense and bring back a slope of soil." Lin Shen said: "Since their son committed suicide in this forest, the couple I moved down the mountain. This year, it has been 30 years.”

After a pause, he said again: "You know them too, they are Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."

He sat astounded, it turned out that Uncle Wang, who had a cheerful and straightforward personality and always brought them some food and dry food, lived at the foot of the mountain for this reason.

"And the woman who committed suicide you met by the stream when you first came. Her mother would come here once a month. She would sit by the stream for the whole afternoon and leave at night."

He was stunned, "Why don't I know these things?"

"Now you know."

Looking at the bright and splendid flowers in front of him again, He Xie suddenly felt something else in his heart.

You think death is your business, but it's not.

Behind the dead, how many people mourn their deaths?

No wonder Lin Shen would say that when he met the female corpse at the bottom of the stream: Compared with the pain of the living, the dead are the one and only one.

He Xie felt a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly urged: "Let's go, hurry up and finish patrolling the forest, I have other things to do."

"what's up?"

He satirized and said nothing.

An hour later, beside the unnamed stone tablet on Dongshan Mountain, there was a glass bottle filled with water. In the bottle, the clear river water was rippled by the wind, and a small fish was swimming in it.

Many times, death is not yours alone.And sometimes, death does not mean eternal loneliness.

He Tun looked at the fish swimming happily in the water, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Okay, remember to change the water every day in the future."

He stretched his waist, "It's so blue."

He walked to the side of the hillside and expressed his feelings towards the blue sky in the distance. He couldn't help but take a step forward and recite a poem to make something right.

"Pfft!"

"Ah! Help..."

"Whoosh, gurgle, boom!"

On the hillside, after a loud noise, it suddenly became empty, the wind blew through the grass, and there was no sound.

When Lin Shen came back from a stroll, he saw that there was no one under the big tree, but He Tun was nowhere to be seen.

He stood for a while, facing the stone tablet and asked:

"See where that idiot went?"

The stele was a little warm from the sun and a little reflective.

Like, secretly laughing.

Yeah, where did that idiot go?
