The bartender seemed very happy to look at my shocked eyes, but like a cunning hunter who saw that his prey had been baited, he kept silent.

But how could I let him keep his mouth shut, and I had to ask, "Marry?" It's usually women who marry someone else, right? How can a man be a 'newlywed'? ”

The bartender just smiled mysteriously and didn't answer, and the noise of the crowd over there had gradually subsided, although it was a little weird, like the switch of a faucet, which was suddenly screwed on, and the water no longer flowed out, but I didn't have the heart to care about the situation over there.

But the bartender glanced over there, his expression became serious, and he whispered, "This man is so unpleasant that he has alarmed the adults." Even if you have privileges, even if you are happy, you don't have to do this. ”

The muttering complaints, although they were low and the emotions were not obvious, but I also had a hint of realization, this bartender was loyal to the Holy Village, and he probably had a certain purpose in fishing for my appetite like this.

Despite this, the word adult still made me sensitive, and I remembered the person I met when I entered the door, and that inexplicable familiar feeling So, I glanced back, and sure enough, that person appeared here, and he seemed to have great majesty, and his appearance quickly calmed down the situation.

There's nothing to be happy about, that is, a person with status in the Holy Village, who has settled a dispute that I am afraid is not even a matter in his eyes.

"How about a few more bottles of wine?" The bartender, who probably didn't think he had much to pay attention to, suddenly suggested this to me.

My heart moved, and I was afraid that I understood his purpose of fishing for my appetite, and I pretended to sigh and said, "The wine here is not cheap, and I am obviously not so rich." ”

"It's only fun to have a chat with wine, and it's not easy for me to work, right?" The bartender said to me with a smile.

I nodded silently, and then took out a few so-called points from my pocket, and then handed them to the bartender, in this village where life is strictly restricted, such a point paper who wants to copy, it is obviously an impossible task, it is the absolute currency here, but I didn't expect that a bartender who works here also has a so-called 'task', try to earn as many people's points as possible, everything is just to force people to be more loyal and religious.

The wine was soon put on the table, and even I felt inexplicably painful, for here I am a complete poor man, and I instinctively feel unbearable because of consumption.

"Haha, sure enough, you are happy as a newcomer, but if you are not a newcomer, how can you ask me what is the matter with the 'new marriage'?" The bartender smiled a little sinisterly, unhurriedly picked up my wine and took a sip, as if it was very happy, before he said a little seriously: "You know what? This village exists for God, and there are no such humble feelings as there are in the world, like friendship, love, family affection, and affection for God. So, everyone here belongs to God. ”

I took a sip of wine, and there was a confused approving look in my eyes, but I silently cursed 'madman' in my heart, and then continued to listen to him.

"Belong to God, you know? Oh, since you are from our great village, you must understand this meaning, but here, not everyone wants to be close to God, and they can really get close to God. At this point, the bartender's face revealed a hint of hidden mystery, and whispered in my ear: "God really exists, dwells in God's place, is so close to us, and so far from us. ”

What do you mean? My heart was beating 'suddenly', but there was a joyful, crazy look on my face, and then a picture that I couldn't hold back to ask, so much so that the bartender had to pat me on the shoulder, comfortingly motioned me to be calm, and then said, "This is not a secret here, but our great god is merciful, and naturally allows the pure and pious people of our village to have the opportunity to approach it and go to a higher world!" Do you understand? In this way, those who are chosen to approach God and go to God's place are equivalent to having completely dedicated themselves to God, and they belong to God in the first place, and one day they can approach God, that is, they are completely married to God, which is the 'newlywed'. ”

"Really? That's a big deal, and I can't wait to become a 'newlywed'. I tried to pretend I was too excited to look at the bartender.

And at this moment, there was a faint chuckle beside me, with a kind of see-through meaning, if I hadn't always heard well, I might have ignored the laughter in this noisy human voice and music, I just heard it, but I couldn't turn my head, and out of the corner of my eye, I found that the so-called adult was also sitting at the bar, but I couldn't say anything, I could only act as if I didn't know anything.

Seeing that the adult came, the bartender who was still talking to me and brainwashed me immediately ignored it, and ran to the adult's side with great diligence, while saying that the adult had worked hard, how could the adult think of such meaningless nonsense to sit down, and at the same time took out the best red wine in the tavern and poured a glass for the adult.

But the adult didn't seem to have the intention of drinking red wine, silently signaled to ask for a bottle of beer, his mask seemed to be very delicate, gently pushed up, you could just expose a small part of the mouth and chin, he just held the beer and drank it silently, a picture of not liking to talk.

At this time, I longed to be in the position of the bartender, because I had always had an inexplicable familiarity with the so-called adult, and from the side, I could only see him pushing up a small part of the mask, revealing a small part of his face, but unfortunately the edge of the mask was blocked, and I couldn't see what that small part of his face looked like at all.

The bartender was still wandering around in front of the adult, but the adult seemed to have a strange personality, not only did he not like to talk much, but he also seemed to like the appearance of being alone, and just waved impatiently to let the bartender leave.

The bartender's face was stupid, but he came back in the end and said a word to relieve himself: "It seems that the adults are not in high spirits." ”

I didn't pay much attention to it, I still stared at him, I waited for the answer he gave me, and inevitably, I was fooled by him to buy a few bottles of wine, and almost spent all the points paper on my body, and the bartender said to me again: "The choice of 'new marriage', only the adults in the inner village know the rules, how can a small person like me understand." In short, it is not easy to get close to God, after all, people are not gods, and if they want to go to God's place, they always have to go through many tests, and they have to pay a price, and it is not necessarily a matter of achieving the goal of pursuit. However, even so, I want to be chosen as a 'new marriage'. ”

Bought the wine, the bartender naturally had no reservations, and said the answer in one breath, maybe he didn't care, and sent me a lot of news, what is the outer village, the inner village of my heart is actually very clear about something at the moment, the so-called 'newlywed' turned out to be a sacrifice, why the sacrifice, what will happen in the middle I don't know, but I clearly see the tragic fate of this group of people who have been 'brainwashed'.

Looking at the bartender's yearning look, my mouth was bitter, as if the beer I had just swallowed did not bring me any refreshing meaning at all, but only the bitter taste remained, in order to wash away this bitterness, I could only swallow a few mouthfuls of beer, and I had to make a look of yearning even so.

Putting down the empty beer bottle, I asked, "What will happen if I don't get close to God?" I'm just asking, I'm not worried, I believe that God will bless my soul, even if the consequences are tragic, my soul will eventually be protected by it, I'm just curious. ”

"You are very religious, of course your thoughts are similar to mine, they are extremely correct, there is no so-called consequence, and you will be blessed in the end! However, if you have the opportunity to observe a sacrifice ceremony, you will naturally know. The bartender answered me casually, not as directly as the other questions.

I think there is a certain taboo for him to 'seduce' every newcomer with news here, what can be said and what cannot be said are defined, for example, he can't say things that 'scare' newcomers.

There is no so-called freedom here, there is no freedom to speak, everything is restricted, including this tavern that claims the freedom to talk, everything here has only one purpose, isn't it?

I didn't ask anything more, what I wanted to ask here, what I wanted to know, nothing more than that, but this recreation room is a good place, and I think I also need to relax to save my nerves, so as not to inevitably slide into the so-called 'faith' under this regularity and dullness.

I took a sip of wine silently, but on the other side of the bar, there was a sound of getting up, it seemed that the adult was leaving, when he stood up, the mask had been closed, he took the wine bottle in his hand, and stomped next to me lightly, as if it was a trivial convenience to hand it to the bartender, he was very personable, and did not mind doing so.

However, I seemed to be silent, but I felt the moment he passed by me, and gently put something on one of my legs, I quietly lowered my hand and covered the thing.
