Chapter VII Occupancy
Ma Yue patted the roller shutter a few times, there was a slight noise inside, after a while, the roller shutter was pulled up, and it was the man with glasses who came to open the door, after seeing Ma Yue, he stretched out his hand and said briefly: "Welcome." Ma Yue also stretched out his hand and shook his hand, the man with glasses seemed to be calm, as if he had expected Ma Yue's arrival, but judging from the strength of his handshake, he was obviously a little excited.
After entering the warehouse, Ma Yue found that there were only three people in the warehouse at this time. The glasses man enthusiastically introduced: "My name is He Xuesong, and everyone calls me "glasses". Then he pointed to a fat man with a flat head next to him and said: "This fat man with a fat head and small ears is called Wang Dong......" Before the words were finished, the fat man on the side interrupted dissatisfiedly: "I'm sorry! Four eyes, are you looking for a pump?"
He Xuesong ignored him, with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to another sturdy man: "This muscular man with a full body ......" The man immediately met him and gave He Xuesong a roll of his eyes: "Degott, my name is Li Jiashu, you can call me Jiashu." “
Ma Yue looked at the three of them and reported his name with a smile. Afterwards, a few people started chatting. When Ma Yue asked what they were usually doing, He Xuesong sighed softly and said, "You also know that we were all people who didn't live long, and the fortune teller saved our lives, and now every extra day we live is earned." In the past, when the fortune teller was there, everyone was grateful to him, and they all got together often, and a few people left behind, and now if you count you, we still have seven people, and when you came back, they all saw it. Usually we do some work online, do design or something to make some money. The whereabouts of those five things have always been vague and unclear. “
Speaking of this, He Xuesong's expression was a little gloomy. Soon he swept away his lost expression again, and said with a hopeful smile: "Now that you have joined, it's different, I already have a plan." Well, let's talk about it when we get there. He shouted at Wang Dong: "Fatty, give them a call, there are new members joining today, let them come back quickly, everyone go to the mutton restaurant to eat barbecue." “
As soon as he heard about eating, Wang Dong was happy, immediately picked up the phone, and called happily. As if he was afraid that Ma Yue would shirk it, He Xuesong took Ma Yue's arm and walked out: "Let's go, let's go and wait." Ma Yue smiled bitterly and followed them out of the warehouse, Wang Dong shouted behind him: "Wait a minute, I'll go together after making the call!"
went to the mutton restaurant together, the four of them picked a private room and drank tea and waited, the fat man called out that he was hungry, and first asked for a small bowl of mutton steamed buns to eat. After a short time of sitting, three other people came together, and the first to come was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in sporty clothes and exuding a sunny and energetic atmosphere. As soon as he entered the private room, he picked up the cup on the table and poured a glass of water, and after a few sips, he complained, "It's hot." “
A tall, thin man with dark skin followed in stared at Ma Yue a few times. There was also the same woman who had brought him from the bus stop last time. He Xuesong saw that everyone was coming, so he stood up and introduced to everyone: "This is Ma Yue, the new partner. Ma Yue stood up and smiled politely at the three people who came from behind, and the tall and thin man came over and shook his hand and said, "My name is Zheng Limin, and we will be friends in the future." Ma Yue nodded sincerely at him.
The woman who brought him last time also said her name, her name is Xiao Qiantong, Ma Yue saw that she didn't mean to shake hands, and her attitude was cold, so it was not good to say anything.
At this time, the energetic girl drank enough water, put the cup on the table casually, ran over and shouted around Ma Yue, "You are the legendary big brother Ma Yue!" Two big eyes stared at Ma Yue and looked at it, as if Ma Yue looked different from others. Ma Yue asked her with a smile: "I'm not a demon or a monster, how can I say that it is legendary?" The girl blinked her big eyes, and said as a matter of course: "Because Godfather and Brother Cedar used to always talk about you." When the girl said this, she seemed to remember something unhappy, lowered her head and whispered: "My name is Wu Ying, Brother Ma Yue, you can call me Xiaoying." ”
Everyone was talking, the waiter had already brought up the roast leg of mutton, and the seven people sat down around the round table, He Xuesong raised his wine glass first and said: "Fill the wine, ladies replace wine with tea, for our new companions, for the sake of the sky, cheers!" Wu Ying couldn't help it, she laughed out loud, He Xuesong glared at her with disgust, and Wu Ying stuck out her tongue. The crisp sound of a glass of wine glasses clashing, and the men shouted, "Dry!" and drank the wine in the glasses.
The atmosphere suddenly improved, and Wang Dong whispered to Wu Ying: "Xiaoying, what are you laughing at, I have always thought that the name Mitian is very good." Li Jiashu also leaned over and echoed: "Yes, yes, it sounds very mysterious, like a special forces organization." Wang Dong nodded and said, "I think it's more like a mysterious killer organization, cool." Wu Ying interrupted them with a smile and said, "Look at the image of a few of us, and with this name, I want to laugh." ”
Wang Dong deliberately lowered his face: "Xiaoying, how do you speak? Look at the image of Brother Dong, a talent, and sit in the office of any company, it is the appearance of the leadership." As he spoke, his voice unconsciously raised, and after being heard by Zheng Limin, he teased and said, "Fatty, I see that your skin is a little thicker than your belly!"
Without waiting for Wang Dong to get angry, he continued: "As for this name, what did I feel when I first came, and now I forgot it, so it's better to ask Ma Yue." "The name Mitian was seen by Wang Dong from an ancient book, and on a whim, it was unusual to say that what several of them did together, and the last organization should be given a code name. He Xuesong was very much in agreement, saying that it would be more cohesive. Xiao Qiantong spit out two words after hearing it: "Childish!" Wu Ying disagreed, saying that there was no mood. Under Wang Dong's vigorous promotion, a joke was slowly and habitually accepted by everyone. The fortune teller didn't care about them, and when he heard it, he only said two words: "What a coincidence." ”
Now some people say that this name is not good, Wang Dong is very dissatisfied, and looks at Ma Yue, waiting for his evaluation. Ma Yue thought for a moment before saying, "I think it sounds like a hacker group. Wang Dong summed up in a timely manner: "That's right, it sounds like a special soldier, a killer, and a hacker, which means that this code name is very good." The topic continued for a while, and the roast leg of lamb sprinkled with cumin on the table was bubbling with oil, eating barbecue, and a few glasses of wine, Ma Yue had no sense of restraint, and chatted casually with everyone.
He Xuesong waved his hand and said emotionally: "To tell the truth, a few of us have inherited the kindness of fortune telling, survived, and everyone got together to live very well, but for our purpose, for those five things, we have been doing nothing, and now Ma Yue has also joined us, and the fortune teller has explained some things to me, and now we can take action, this will eat and drink well, and we will all go to the warehouse tomorrow morning to gather." "Everyone knows he's selling off, but there's something to look forward to.
After being full of wine and food, everyone came out of the mutton restaurant with a smile, walked together for a while, and walked to the gate of the community, when Ma Yue wanted to say goodbye to them, He Xuesong threw the key to Wang Dong and asked them to go back first, and then said to Ma Yue: "Let's go again." Ma Yue nodded knowingly. He Xuesong took out a cigarette and handed it to Ma Yue, lit one himself, and took a deep breath. The two walked casually, and stopped at the edge of a small pond,
Ma Yue asked He Xuesong: "Why are you so sure that I came here today to join in?"
He Xuesong looked at the reflection in the pond that was broken by the slight ripples, and said faintly: "I said, the people of Mitian, some friends who depend on each other, since the fortune teller went, everyone is a little desperate in their hearts, there is a trace of unrealistic hope and no hope are two different things, Mitian must have a reason to exist, whether you will join or not, only you know." I just hope everything gets better. It's not an easy road, and I often wonder if I should just live happily for a few years, but seeing the smiling faces of those guys, I want to go on again. “
Ma Yue looked up at the starry sky at night, and asked: "Then aren't you afraid of me, the lone star?" He Xuesong smiled: "We are people who have died once, and we can also say that we are people who are desperate and immortal. “
Speaking of fate, Ma Yue remembered the fortune teller and asked He Xuesong: "What is the name of the fortune teller.....?" After you went, where are you buried now?"
He Xuesong shook his head: "We don't know his surname, he said that his name is just a title, he is called a fortune teller, the last time I saw him, he left alone after explaining the aftermath, I asked him where he was going, he didn't say, let me take care of Xiaoying more in the future, Xiaoying is an orphan he took in." The last sentence before leaving, said that if we can live, we will try to live. “
Ma Yue said a little sadly after hearing this: "Is it worth it to pay for your life for a broom star?"
He Xuesong took another puff of cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, and said, "Not only for you, but also for the fortune teller, I gambled for the sky." He said that if you are with us, let me bring you a message to tell you to be more careful in the future. “
Ma Yue smiled bitterly and muttered, "I've been thinking a lot these days, is it my Heavenly Evil Lone Star who killed the people around me who shouldn't have died, or can I only have a relationship with the people who are about to die?"
He Xuesong didn't answer him, and the two of them stopped talking, just standing quietly by the small pond, facing the cool breeze of the night, each in their own daze, each thinking about their own thoughts.
