In the middle of the night, I can meet a strange man dressed so neatly on the rural road in the early morning, I have to say that this feeling is quite strange.

Looking at his appearance, he looks like a person with status, and the pair of military boots on his feet are particularly eye-catching, but he has a suit vest, which doesn't look very good but is very handsome.

"What do you call it?"

I'm still a little wary, and if there's no one here, if this guy is actually trying to, or isn't a person at all, then it's going to be troublesome.

"Oh, my name is Hugo. ”

He replied with a smile, but I was stunned, looked at him with some surprise and said, "Your name is Hugo? You call this too?"

"Why can't Chinese call Hugo?"

He shrugged his shoulders and asked me to get up, and I immediately shut my mouth and smiled after a while: "I'm just a little surprised, after all, this is a writer I really like." ”

I'm not an intellectual in the standard sense, but a low level of education doesn't mean I don't like to read. I have read all the famous books such as "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Les Miserables", although there were not very good translations on the market at that time.

The world of this great writer is gray and gloomy, full of the sadness of critical realism, but it always gives you a little hope, which is obviously hopeless, but it is like a blooming and extremely warm flower.

"I think it's going to be a long walk, and there are generally no cars coming to this road, what do you call it?"

He looked back, then asked.

"My name is Ba Xiaoshan, huh...... I think we'd better hurry up, or we'll probably have to spend the night on the road. ”

I walked forward with my feet up, but suddenly I heard Hugo shouting at me, "Hey, can't we be honest?"

"What?"

I froze, then looked back at him.

"Actually, you don't want to go home at all. ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Okay okay, people nowadays are always like this and don't like to be honest with themselves. The more you are entangled with money, power, and desire, the more you will hide yourself. It gradually became a habit, and I didn't even know that I was wearing a mask. ”

Hugo spread his hands and said with a smile.

"If you don't want to keep walking, then I'll go on my own. ”

Turning around, I was about to walk forward, when Hugo suddenly walked up quickly and grabbed my arm, and said with a smile: "Brother, we can learn to hide, that's good, but if we don't know how to face the world properly and honestly, then sooner or later we will become some kind of masked monster." Well, there's a winery nearby, not far from here, and I've decided where to go to get some wine to drink, and come with me if you want. If you don't want to, then keep going your way and keep wearing your mask. ”

After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand and turned to walk towards the fork in the road.

In normal times, I must have turned around and walked away, but today I was stunned for some reason, reached out and touched my face, and I always felt that every word Hugo said could hit my heart.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

I shouted.

"How's it going? Are you decided? Hey, we're still early in the morning, why don't we get drunk!"

It was as if I smelled a faint fresh smell, like standing in the shade of a tree in summer, and suddenly a cool breeze blew when my face was covered with sweat.

The winery was not far from our location, and we could see it after walking forty or fifty meters, and the janitor was already asleep, and the two of us climbed in through the low back wall.

"I think I've been to this place before. ”

I spoke. I used to hang out with Fat Man and a few children, but I don't remember much after a long time, but I remembered it when I saw the sign in front of the distillery.

After walking in, he walked out with two jars, and said with a smile: "We are lucky, we have two jars in stock, how much do you drink?"

"It's ok. ”

"This is not the place to drink, let's go, let's climb to the top of the factory. That's where the wine goes......"

On the empty roof, I can see the stars in the sky when I look up, the night breeze blows slowly, I lie on the ground with a jar of wine in my hand, close my eyes and can smell the fresh wind blowing in the field, the whole world seems to become peaceful in an instant, there are no ghosts, no earth beasts, no business or money, there is only peace of mind here.

"Hey, do you smoke?"

Hugo handed over a cigarette, I opened my eyes and took it, and to my surprise, this well-dressed man who looked like a boy was actually smoking a very cheap cigarette.

"Why? think I shouldn't smoke this brand?" Hugo asked, and when he saw me nod, he smiled and said, "I don't understand what people think about smoking to make the taste taste of cigarettes, no one has ever added any sauce to the tobacco, and the tobacco in a pack of cigarettes may not even be in the same batch, they can taste the same taste as the food, it's funny." ”

"Yes! I've always felt that way. ”

"And I prefer to find a place to drink alone rather than shouting at a disco or a park dance floor with a bunch of people. You know, I've always thought that drinking isn't about escaping, it's about making yourself think better. Many things that are not usually thought of will only pop out of the head after drinking, as if they are hidden somewhere in the brain, but they don't come out without drinking. ”

"Yes, yes, I had that experience too......"

"Women, hehe, women should be respected, why? Because we all come out of women's bellies, without women, where are we?"

"And I can't stand those people who obviously don't have any skills, but they always like to pretend to have a strong aura. It's funny that some guys who don't have the strength to fight and always cheat on exams think they're great? They can't sweep the floor, but they think they'll make a lot of money in the future. ”

The more I talked to Hugo, the more interesting it became, as if every word he said spoke to my heart. It's a strange feeling, there are some things that you don't usually dare to say, and you suppress it because you know that no one will approve of you if you say it. But now there is a person who thinks the same as me, and I feel like I have met a soulmate.

"That's interesting. ”

I occasionally interject a sentence or two.

"Hey, there's no need to be so desperate, I mean, we're at least born in an age where we don't starve. So why do we have to work so hard? It's so tiring to try so hard to change your life. Go with the flow and enjoy life, that's what we should do. Many successful people start to pursue a peaceful and peaceful life when they are old, and regret that they gave up their good time when they were young, so why don't we enjoy it from a young age?"

After Hugo finished speaking, he raised the wine jar and poured his head up, and the appearance of drinking was quite chic.

"You also need money to enjoy, you can't steal wine and drink every day, you still need money. ”

I replied helplessly.

"I'm luckier than you from this point, at least I live in a family that's big enough for me to splurge. Well, don't say these frivolous words. What do you do?"

He turned the conversation to my work.

"Didn't do anything, do some small business. ”

Even though I had drunk, I was still defensive.

"No, no, you're not a businessman, our family has been in business for a long time, and I know what it's like to be a businessman. You're definitely not, honestly, what the hell are you doing?"

He shook his head and said in disbelief.

"It's nothing, it's just a chore......"

I don't want to mention the sale of ghosts and demons, because for normal people, these things can't happen at all, and they are all made up.

"We've all drank, we've been brothers in the past, you know? You don't want to tell me what you do. Rest assured, I've heard a lot of weird things, and even if you tell me that you provide services to certain women, I think it's acceptable, come on, no one cares about that in this society right now. ”

He smoked a cigarette and motioned for me to be honest.

"Okay!" I let out a sigh of relief, not knowing what to think, and I had a feeling of not vomiting and unpleasantness, and said, "I'm a ghost seller!"
