"That, that, store manager, it's dangerous for you to do this!" When the gray mask clerk heard the store manager say this, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and said: "This back alley usually has few cooks, no one knows how long he has been dead, and now the weather is cold, and there is no way to judge by smell, and I have never studied forensic medicine......"

"What do you want to say?"

"He can't take off his mask, no one knows how long he's been dead, and it's too dangerous in the process! The people of the Black Corps have special experience in chasing corpses, so we still call them to ......."

"If our store closes, you won't have a job." The store manager said this coldly: "You should know very well how high the unemployment rate is now." You can still get a salary here, I don't know how lucky you are. Now in the slums, the streets are full of homeless people, thieves, rapists, addicts, are you going to be one of them? ”

Then, the manager then pointed to the restaurant behind him: "If this restaurant is closed, I will have to kill myself." I have a large family to support, and this is my luck, I was born with a black mask, and only people with black masks can apply for a business license. You gray masks are destined to only work for people, and you can't even be self-employed, because you are not even qualified to apply for a business license, and you can only work as unlicensed vendors. ”

Hearing this, the clerk was also scared.

"I, I can't afford to lose my job, and every month there are countless bills piled up in the mailbox in front of my house...... I want to vomit when I see the bill now......"

"I have to pay a lot of bills every month, too! The debt I borrowed when I opened the restaurant has not been paid off yet! If the store is closed, then I will have only one choice. Buy a gun, and I'll kill you, and then I'll go home and kill my wife, my mother, my children, and I kill myself! ”

At this point, the clerk looked at the corpse and said, "Okay, I see." ”

Ten minutes later, the body was put into a sack. The clerk took two other clerks who didn't know about it and told them: "The store manager dislikes the corpse in the back alley and is unlucky, so we moved the corpse to the suburbs and buried it." ”

"Why do you have to move corpses?"

"yes, we're going to have to go back to serving the dishes later?"

The clerk said, "The manager said that he would give us an extra bonus." ”

"Isn't it? That miser store manager is actually willing to pluck his hair? It's incredible. ”

"yes, Jill, this corpse can't be contagious, right?"

"What nonsense? If there is an infectious disease, is he not afraid that you will get sick and infect him again? ”

"It's also ......" The two clerks who moved the corpse didn't know the truth about the corpse in the sack at all, and said with a smile: "Chinese New Year's Eve is almost here, get more money, maybe you can buy some meat and go back to celebrate the festival." ”

"Jason, meat is as extravagant to me as it is a legend." Another clerk said: "But then again, in our industry, we definitely can't rest on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Binny, get through it and get over it."

At this moment, another clerk who was carrying the body said, "Do you know the holiday of Christmas? ”

Hearing the words "Christmas", Jill was slightly stunned.

"I think I've heard my parents say that...... Does this festival have any special significance? Is it to celebrate the New Year like Chinese New Year's Eve? ”

……

"You mean to say that you've lost your memory, but you're afraid to tell anyone else?"

The beggar was eating the dishes that Dong Xie ordered for him, and said inarticulately: "So you don't know anything about the concepts of black walls, masks, etc.? ”

"Yes, I can't find my relatives at all...... Can you tell me that? ”

"You can ask anyone about this kind of thing, right?"

"I think others may deliberately lie to me, but if you eat my things, you won't lie to me."

The beggar thought for a moment, then said, "Then, can you give me some money?" ”

"Depends on your answer."

The beggar wiped his greasy mouth, then swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Well, how do you say that...... I think it's weird that you've forgotten things so completely. It's like our ancestors......"

Dong Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ancestors? ”

"Eighty years ago, our ancestors all appeared in this place out of the blue, and when they came, they all wore masks on their faces. And all of them have no specific memories of before entering the black wall. Some people came here in their cars, some came here while brushing their teeth, and even some came here in their infancy. ”

"Totally ...... Don't have a memory of the past? ”

"We only remember some basic life experiences and knowledge, but we don't remember specific history......"

"History doesn't remember at all?"

"I think about it, and some people have summed it up, that is, the knowledge of science has been retained, that is, including industry and agriculture, economics and politics, etc., while music, art, customs, etc. are not clearly remembered."

Politics is actually a liberal arts, but this beggar is obviously not clear.

……

"I remember, it's the memory of our great-grandfather's generation, when they first appeared in the black wall." Jill, who oversaw Jason and Benny's move of the bodies to a remote location in the suburbs, said, "But I don't remember what this festival represents." It seems that on this festival, there will be people dressed up in red old people, and there will be people who will dress up a tree or something. ”

"What a strange holiday."

"yes, why don't you dress up as an old man, it doesn't matter if it's a holiday."

"And decorating a tree, it's a little too tiring. How could our parents have had such a strange holiday before? Moreover, our great-grandparents didn't seem to figure out whether this holiday was called Christmas or Christmas Eve. ”

"I remember that more than 80 years ago, when our great-grandfathers first came to the black wall, their memories of the calendar were not clear, and in the end, they gathered everyone's memories and restored the current calendar. However, most of the festivals are not remembered clearly, and I roughly only remember the festivals of Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. ”

By this time, they had already dug a hole.

"Alright, let's put the corpse in."

"yes, okay."

At this moment, Jill became more and more nervous, and kept staring at the sack.

He's ready to run at any moment.

"Jason ......"

"Huh?"

"Yes, is there any smoke?"

"There is no smoke. I do have marijuana. When the parliamentarians were elected to legalize marijuana, almost all of us smoked it. ”

"I don't smoke marijuana, Jason, you'd better quit too."

"You don't have to be so nervous. It is now said that less than one in 10 people has taken at least one drug. Marijuana is okay, at least now it's legal. ”

"Yes, Jill, even if you are a gray mask now, you can apply to grow marijuana as long as you are at least eighteen years old. Like cocaine or something, we don't touch it. ”

"Drugs are drugs, and I advise you not to touch them. The reason why those silver-faced legislators legalized marijuana was to earn huge tax revenues from the marijuana trade. ”

"It's useless for you to say that."

By this time, the sack had been moved into the pit, and both Jason and Binny had begun to fill in the earth.

"The high unemployment rate did not start this year, and in the past few years, when the economy was in recession, not to mention growing marijuana, there was an endless stream of poppy growers. The people above have always turned a blind eye to the cultivation of opium poppy and coca (the raw material for cocaine). Also, Jason, one out of ten smokes marijuana, and you go out on the street and grab a hundred random people, and if there are more than fifty people who have smoked marijuana, I'll do a handstand and learn how to bark. ”

When Jill heard this, his face under his mask showed a look of surprise.

"Isn't it? So much? ”

Binny filled in another handful of dirt, looked up and said to Jill, "When I was six years old, my father made me smoke marijuana. At that time, marijuana was still illegal. ”

"I used to work as a nurse in a hospital before I did catering." Jason also said: "Jill, I'm just telling you, even some hospitals sell cocaine and morphine on the black market for profit. ”

"Really?"

Jill's attention gradually shifted from the corpse to discussing the drug proliferation inside the Black Wall with Jason and Benny, who he did not find at this time, the sack ...... Suddenly there was a tremble!
