Speaking of Ye Bei, the impression on Chen Xiaowu is very clear and clear.

When this Mr. Yin and Yang was eighteen years old, he picked up a small milk dog at the gate of the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital, which was a schnauzer, fluffy and cute.

It was a big winter, and the next morning, it was freezing and hungry, and died in Ye Bei's arms, Xiao Yebei carefully climbed out of bed with it, took its corpse, faced the snow, and his hands were red from the cold, and knocked on the door of Mr. Paper Tiepu.

His body was swayed by the wind and snow in front of the paper shop, spitting out a mouthful of white mist, freezing his teeth and sore earlobes.

What is there that this big boy can't think of?

Chen Xiaowu saw it at that time......

Xiao Yebei pulled the blond big brother's clothes, his eyes were shining with tears, and he wrapped the puppy tightly with a scarf.

He wanted to make a grave for the puppy. Because his parents had just passed away, and when he met this new friend, the older boy felt that he was very much like himself—no one knew, no one to take care of, and no one to love.

Chen Xiaowu took the shovel, he was twenty-three years old.

Xiao Yebei was holding two pairs of waterproof rubber shoes and carrying a large plastic bag, which contained the corpse of a puppy, he was eighteen years old.

The two went to the suburbs, chose a more conspicuous tree, and buried the puppy.

In the ice and snow, Xiao Yebei commanded.

"Dig a little deeper."

Xiao Wu was puzzled: "Does it mean anything?" ”

Xiao Yebei said: "In winter, if I have no food to eat, and I will starve to death like it, I can dig it out and cook it, bury it a little deeper, and it will not be scavenged by wild beasts and secretly taken away." ”

Chen Xiaowu didn't know how to respond to Ye Bei's sentence, this child's inner world is strange.

"Then why don't you throw away the refrigerator?"

Xiao Yebei said again: "Because it's dead." What is dead should go to the underworld, this is a ritual that cannot be ignored. ”

Chen Xiaowu felt that this big boy was a little cute.

Two men, one older and one small, were digging holes in knee-deep snow, chatting without a word.

Xiao Wu asked: "Xiaobei, have you ever seen a ghost or a corpse?" ”

"I've seen a lot, and some passers-by will ask me to look for their bodies, and if there is money on them, I will take it as a reward, and then I will report the crime and call the police to deal with these things." Xiaoye North answered.

Xiao Wu: "You say, what will become of the corpse when it is buried in the ground?" ”

Xiao Yebei said: "If I don't eat it, it will turn into mud, become nutrients, become grass, become flowers, become vines and trees, turn into fruits, and then be eaten by me, and then I will also get old, I will die, and then I will be eaten by other things." ”

Chen Xiaowu looked at the big boy, and there was a strange surprise in his blue eyes, because Xiao Yebei was talking in a simple tone about the "unity of heaven and man" that belonged to ordinary people.

Chen Xiaowu was in a complicated mood, he said to Ye Bei.

"You should be more carefree, a little more cheerful. If you really can't, you can come to my side, and I will treat you as an adopted son. ”

……

……

"You should be more carefree, a little more cheerful. It's really not good, you can come to my side, and I will treat you as my own. Ye Bei followed Xiao Wu's side, blowing the wind in his ears with the panting athlete.

"I thought you were much cuter when you were a child, but I didn't expect that your kid is not only free and cheerful now, but has gone towards debauchery and shamelessness...... Call...... Ha...... Call. ”

Chen Xiaowu gasped, and led more than forty veteran cadres behind him all the way down the slope to the basketball court.

Ye Bei followed closely, he looked down at the hands on the compass watch, the level of spiritual calamity pointed to [Ji], and he was also afraid that something would go wrong with this newcomer, and he was testing the physical fitness of the little fifth brother.

Listen to him exclaim: "When you are old and strong, you are still so energetic at the age of twenty-nine." ”

"!" Chen Xiaowu walked down the escalator quickly, took the old cadres into the basketball court, and prepared to detour the road from the other side.

"Twenty-nine is old! I know you're not using the right idiom! ”

Ye Bei leaned on the railing and watched Chen Xiaowu run lap after lap.

"That's right, I now let the post-zero call me uncle when I go out, as long as it is a post-95 generation, I will be an aunt and uncle, is it wrong for you to call the old man a strong man at the age of twenty-nine?"

"You're just looking at it?" The little fifth brother ran for an hour, his mouth was dry and dizzy, and he went around the old dry house several times, "Where is there any sign of returning to normal in this group of old bacon?" I think they're going faster and faster! ”

"It's because you can't run, don't blame the opponent for running too slowly." Ye Bei replied, and also saw that the fangs in the old cadre's mouth did not fade at all.

The fifth brother gasped while running: "You are still poor with me!" Help me! If it doesn't work, I'll call the police! ”

Ye Bei covered his chin and lowered his head in contemplation, as if he was considering a solution.

- Call for support?

The slashing brother of the Tianshu armed group came to the scene, it is estimated that none of these group of zombie brothers can keep the whole corpse, speaking of which, the client has to settle the account, what if you don't get the money?

I troubled Su Xingchen last time, seeing that Xingchen was in a hurry, it was a question whether he could be invited this time.

Ye Bei dispelled the idea of using Tianshu's force, he couldn't always rely on them.

Seeing that the fifth brother was tired of running, Ye Bei found the gap for Xiao Wu to go around in circles, grabbed Xiao Wu on his shoulders, and went all the way to Meiyi Sanatorium.

When Ye Bei returned to the truck with Xiao Wu, he first threw Xiao Wu on the roof of the car and jumped up by himself.

Brother Ajian was surrounded under the car, and geriatric diseases such as lumbar muscle strain, intervertebral disc herniation, etc., made their bodies clumsy and sluggish, and they couldn't climb up at all.

Xiao Wu was so tired that he lay motionless on the roof of the car, only knowing that he was panting, facing the sky on his back, looking at the stars in the sky, and a double image was about to appear in his eyes.

Ye Bei uncovered Chen Xiaowu's gas mask and bulletproof steel helmet, and carefully examined the exposed skin tissue of Little Fifth Brother to make sure that there were no scratching scars.

Ye Bei said: "You wait, I'll go out for a while." ”

Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "Where are you going?!" ”

"Go to the supermarket." Ye Bei said, jumped out of the car, and ran away with a little bit of a ghost's light and impermanent body.

In just five minutes, Ye Bei ran back and forth.

He came back with a basket of jujubes in his hand and two bottles of Red Bull that had been opened.

"Come, drink." Ye Bei handed the special Red Bull functional drink type Forget Worry Tea to Chen Xiaowu.

The little fifth brother drank it cleanly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had forgotten all the bad memories just now.

"Wow...... Brother Ye, your tea is really amazing! After drinking, my mood improved. ”

"Hey......" Ye Bei asked Chen Xiaowu to boast a little embarrassed, not to mention the matter of washing his hands, he put down the big jujube basket and said to Chen Xiaowu: "I have eaten it all, and the jujube core is put in a small basket." ”

Chen Xiaowu understood that Ye Bei wanted to use the yang energy contained in the jujube kernel seeds to help this group of old cadres loosen their bones.

The two sat on the roof of the car, snorting jujubes, and chatted sentence by sentence.

Chen Xiaowu asked: "Xiaobei, why don't you just use the peachwood sword to split one by one?" ”

Ye Bei pointed out: "Look at them. ”

Xiao Wu heard the sound and saw that the zombie buddies under the car still maintained strange and twisted movements, repeating the work before their deaths.

Ye Bei bit the jujube, and the taste buds on the tip of his tongue came with a refreshing sweetness.

He said: "This is the place where I was born and raised, I watched it grow up, my grandmother used to take me to cross the river by boat to sell betel nuts, and then three bridges were built on the Yuming River, and she didn't have to work so hard." ”

"I remember that my father is a person who loves his wife very much, he likes to buy clothes for his grandmother, and every time he buys new clothes at home, he is as happy as the New Year."

"I have also been to the countryside with my parents, and my uncle told me that it was very hard when the rice field was busy, and now Xiaoye doesn't have to taste that kind of bitterness, because there are tractors, which can save a lot of labor."

Xiao Wu: "This ...... Have you listened to me? ”

Ye Bei smiled.

That kind of smile is difficult for Chen Xiaowu to describe, he rarely sees Ye Bei smiling so cheerfully.

"A lot of people are dead by the age of twenty-five." Ye Bei told his story lightly: "But their physical bodies will live for a long, long time. ”

He grabbed a jujube kernel and shot it into the mouth of one of the corpses, stuck in his throat.

Seeing that Brother Ah Zombie was holding a large wrench in his hand, which was turned out of the toolbox of the vehicle, he took the wrench and knocked on the truck, as if he was inspecting the working state of the vehicle.

Ye Bei patted Xiao Wu's shoulder.

"Their youthful poetry, many times, came to an abrupt end at the age of twenty-five, and then devoted themselves to the labor of benefiting the broad masses of the people, on the assembly line, in the construction site, in the sound of mechanical punching again and again, they became a walking corpse, became skilled, and when their brains were blank, they could use their muscles to remember what to do and what to do."

Xiao Wu savored what Mr. Tea said.

Ye Bei said again.

"When I was a child, what I admired the most was the craftsman who chose a career for life, and you have to ask me why I didn't take a broken wooden sword to sharpen these old brothers...... Because I respect the old and love the young. ”

Ye Bei muttered, pointing to the statue in the mourning hall behind him.

"They forgot when they died. also set up a mourning hall for the elder brother Gao Zhengguo, who did the massage, and wrote "Old Friend". ”

"There are more than 100 years old, and many of the children are estimated to have passed away, one by one wearing overalls, few old sisters are wearing fancy Tang costumes, and there is no mobile phone on their bodies, but a kilometer away is a lively civilized society, speaking of which, I just bought a date to pay for the QR code to enjoy discounts, you say that this group of old cadres does not become zombies......"

"How do you survive?"

Chen Xiaowu bit the date, his mouth moved faster and faster, and he couldn't wait to hand Mr. Cha "ammunition".

Ye Bei hit one by one, some of the Brother Ah Zombie who was hit by the jujube core were fixed in place, and some had already fallen, and the body finally understood that the years were unforgiving, and began to weather into sand, and the confused spirit body came out of it, and without waiting for Ye Bei to send it, he drilled into the ground.

"I'm so comfortable now...... can eat and wait for death in this fifth-tier small city, order takeout with WIFI, eat hot pot and sing songs, but it all depends on these grandparents. ”

Seeing that most of the corpses under the car have become scattered sand, and there are a few stubborn old brothers who are stiff, as if they are reluctant to this beautiful world, reluctant to the unreachable but close world of flowers outside, and want to live for another five hundred years.
