"Welcome aboard the Ocean Superstar! Uncle and aunt, I'll help you with your luggage. ”

The enthusiastic service staff took the suitcase in Uncle Li's hand and walked in front to lead the way for the three of them.

Aunt Li looked around, looked here, looked there, and her mouth kept talking, "What are you playing on this boat?" ”

The waiter was like a river and introduced the various entertainment facilities on board. This is obviously something that the travel company has them carry in advance. Especially for middle-aged and elderly tourists, he also emphasized the entertainment areas such as the chess and card room on the ship, and reported the free catering items again.

Aunt Li nodded frequently as she listened, showing a satisfied expression.

Uncle Li and Li Yun followed behind, also looking around, but the purpose was different.

Uncle Li asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?" ”

Li Yun shook his head.

He scanned the entire ship while waiting at the docks, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Now that I'm on board, I don't feel any strange smell.

"It may not show up until the ship departs." Li Yun guessed.

Uncle Li nodded in agreement.

The waiter sent the three of them to the room and introduced them to the various facilities in the room.

Li Yun booked the ticket a little late, and the room he booked was a closed large room, with two beds, one large and one small, filling the room, and there was no other extra space, let alone a balcony. Despite the bright décor, the whole room still looks a little closed and oppressive.

If only he were alone, it would be better to say. Because he brought Aunt Li out to relax, he was a little apologetic.

Aunt Li didn't care, "What kind of balcony do you want?" That's good. It's cheap. We didn't stay in the room for long, as long as we could sleep. ”

As she spoke, she had already packed her bags and was ready to go outside.

Uncle Li and Li Yun naturally accompanied her.

There were already quite a few passengers on the deck, all leaning against the railing, waiting to see the boat sail.

Aunt Li is a self-acquaintance, and it didn't take long for her to say hello and talk to passengers of the same age.

Uncle Li and Li Yun followed behind like two wooden lumps, and were introduced by Aunt Li as her wife and grandson.

Li Yun didn't care. He knew it was the easiest way to make an introduction. In terms of age, there is nothing wrong with him calling the two grandparents.

Uncle Li was very embarrassed, and apologized to Li Yun in a whisper, feeling that he had taken advantage of Li Yun.

"Then your child is filial, and I ask for leave to play with you." The old aunt, who had known Aunt Li, said enviously.

The old sister in the flower shirt next to her also praised Li Yun, and casually asked about Li Yun's work and relationship status.

Aunt Li was not subtle at all, helping Li Yun answer, sometimes proudly, sometimes a little worried, introducing him again, like a grandfather and grandson, and almost helped Li Yun find a partner.

In the end, she hadn't forgotten Li Yun's "work" on this trip, and led to the topic in a roundabout way: "...... He's just writing something, and he'll see if he can send it out when the time comes. I don't know if there's anything interesting about this ship. ”

"That's good, you can play and make money."

"Cruises, they're all the same. This ship is not new, and things are just like that. It's just cheap. The dishes are good too. The chef they hired was very good. Both Chinese and Western food are well done. The dessert was bought outside by them. ”

"I changed stores last year, and the last time I ate it, it wasn't as good as before. You guys will eat the buffet later, remember to take more serious dishes, and don't take the bells and whistles. It's all cheap stuff. ”

The old aunts seem to be frequent visitors to this cruise ship, and they know the situation on the cruise ship very well.

Aunt Li chatted with them for a while, and it wasn't until the boat left that everyone let their throats rest for a while and looked at the port together.

The ship's horn came with a very old whistle, and the sound was accompanied by the captain's magnetic and deep voice, in addition to announcing the departure of everyone in standard Mandarin and English.

A few bunches of balloons were also released at the port, and the sense of ceremony was quite sufficient.

The old aunts obviously liked this kind of ceremony, and they took the time to take pictures one by one.

Aunt Li was also pulled into them. Her silk shirt with sequins embedded in it, sticking to other people's floral clothes, was not at all out of place, like a tour group coming out.

Both Uncle Li and Li Yun were temporarily thrown aside by her.

Neither of them felt lost. They walked around the deck on their own, looking around.

Li Yun still didn't find anything.

Waiting for Aunt Li's side to be temporarily disbanded, the three of them went back to the guest room together.

"How?" As soon as Aunt Li returned to the room, she asked Li Yun.

"Nothing was found." Li Yun groaned.

"Don't you see that person? Do you have to wait until the evening? Aunt Li asked curiously, and said, "I just asked them, and they didn't have any impressions." Jackets, jeans, such people are not without them. Some old men like to dress like this. She said, and glanced at Uncle Li.

Uncle Li doesn't wear it like that now. However, when he first retired, Uncle Li always liked to wear such a jacket, and he agreed to throw it away until the clothes were not clean.

"I'm wearing more sports coats now." Aunt Li told Li Yun what she had heard, and she was worried about Li Yun, "I don't know what I look like, and it's not easy to inquire." ”

This made Li Yun helpless.

Zhuang Baoli naturally didn't describe the man's appearance to him in detail. The man's face seemed ordinary to him, probably a little vicious, but the viciousness might be due to the nightmare and the atmosphere, not the man's facial features. He remembered the man, and he also remembered the clothes first, because the somewhat outdated clothes impressed him more than the man's ordinary facial features, and because he dreamed of the man several times, the other party lowered his head, first saw the old-fashioned clothes, and only saw the other party's face after a while, and always woke up after a few seconds of seeing the other party's appearance.

For Zhuang Baoli, the nightmare itself is not terrible. He dozed off for no reason, and that was what really worried him. If it weren't for the fact that there was no other discomfort in his body, he would have suspected that he was seriously ill.

As for that man, it is really impossible to say how frightened Zhuang Baoli is about this.

At dinner that day, if it weren't for Li Yun's careful inquiry, Zhuang Baoli's description of the nightmare was just a simple word "nightmare".

Li Yun also felt that Zhuang Baoli's series of nightmares were not scary, but could only be said to be weird. It wasn't until the taxi that the flames came to the face that it had the horror flavor of an ordinary nightmare.

Li Yun also "saw" the man's appearance and dress through Zhuang Baoli's memories. As Zhuang Baoli's impression, the man is wearing an old jacket, jeans, and even the hairstyle looks like the previous style. As for the man's appearance, Li Yun felt that the other party was a little fierce, like the villain's face in a film and television drama, but he "saw" the man's appearance through Zhuang Baoli, and it was really difficult to judge whether the man's appearance was added to Zhuang Baoli's emotional "filter". Zhuang Baoli couldn't tell it himself, and Li Yun couldn't tell it anymore.

Li Yun has no talent for painting, and when he "sees", he can't draw a man and find someone to identify him.

He can use his ability to let others listen to his description and "see" the appearance of men, but in this way, he has to ask people one-on-one to inquire.

With so many passengers and staff on board, this method is very unrealistic.

Aunt Li spontaneously helped Li Yun inquire about the news. Compared with Li Yun, whether in terms of personality or external image, it is easier for her, an old aunt, to ask for news.

"The person you showed me must be from decades ago." Aunt Li thought, "That kind of dress, it's like before, hmm...... Ah Hui has dressed up like this before. ”

Aunt Li said, looking at Uncle Li.

She was talking about their eldest son, Lai Thanh Hui.

Li Qinghui is also in his fifties this year and is about to retire.

Uncle Li thought about it for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Is there one?" ”

"Absolutely! He seemed to have just started working at that time, and his first month's salary bought us clothes, and he bought a jacket himself, and it was pretty much the same. Hey, the clothes at that time were actually pretty much the same, they were all like that. That jeans too. Aunt Li patted her thigh, "The young men in our unit also like to wear it like this." When I went up to you, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the same people, just like the work clothes in other people's factories! ”

Uncle Li was not impressed by this. He only remembered that the jacket he had worn for many years was given to him by his daughter Li Yujiao. The clothes are just the right size, and you can stuff two more sweaters inside when it's cold; If it's hot, just wear a shirt underneath. Blocking wind and rain, it is also comfortable to wear and durable. He wasn't afraid of the cold at that time, and he wore such a coat all winter, not wearing any down jacket at all. Later, it didn't work, and you would catch a cold when the wind blew in winter. The son and daughter bought him a down jacket, which was expensive, and he had to send it to the laundry to be washed, which was a bit troublesome. However, the housework is actually done by Aunt Li, and he just runs an errand and delivers the clothes packed by Aunt Li to the laundry at the entrance of the community.

Uncle Li recalled, but Aunt Li had already skipped this topic and carefully analyzed the man's dress with Li Yun.

“…… He couldn't see what he was wearing in his jacket, and he couldn't see his shoes. It's weird, like no feet. Ghosts must have feet, right? Aunt Li glanced at Li Yun and Uncle Li's feet, "However, as the old saying goes, ghosts have no feet." My mom used to say that ghosts walk on tiptoe. ”

Li Yun listened patiently. He knew Aunt Li's statement before, and he forgot where he first heard it, and the only thing that impressed him was a Hong Kong ghost movie, which had a close-up of the ghost walking on tiptoe. It's just that after he died, he saw so many ghosts, and he never saw any of them walking on tiptoe.

The man in Zhuang Baoli's nightmare did not show his feet. The jeans were so wide that not only could you not see the man's original legs, but also the man's shoes.

It's a bit like the bell-bottoms that were popular in the past, and it's like a few sizes larger, so they look wide and long.

“…… It's a few sizes bigger. Ah Hui bought pants at that time, and he also liked to buy one size bigger. It was fashionable to wear it like this at that time. Aunt Li concluded.

After discussing it for a long time, it was finally decided that the man should have been dead for decades.

“…… It has to be at least thirty years. Aunt Li said affirmatively, "I don't know what kind of person he is." If it's a big city, it's a little bit earlier, and if it's a small city, it's probably a little later......"

"Thirty years ago, the ship hadn't even started to be built." Uncle Li is not talking against it, but pointing out a fact.

"That's dead in the sea. And when the ship passed by, they carried him. "Aunt Li made a hypothesis.

Uncle Li still disagrees, "How can anyone who goes to sea dress like this?" ”

"You haven't been to sea, how do you know?"

"I've never been to the sea, but the old dragon has been. Didn't he show us the picture? ”

"When did the old dragon go to sea? He didn't have jeans at the time. ”

"That's pretty much it. I don't always wear pants that big. How does this work? ”

"Can't people go to sea to play?"

"Thirty years ago, how could anyone go to sea to play?"

The two men quarreled.

Li Yun has no position to speak on this issue. Thirty years ago, he wasn't even born. He had seen old photos of his parents, similar jackets and jeans, but he didn't have a clear impression.

is similar to Zhuang Baoli, he just thinks that this man is dressed like a person from the last century, but he can't tell which era it is.

Zhuang Baoli is two rounds older than him, and he is like this, and Li Yun is even more clueless.

On second thought, thirty years ago, it was the nineties.

The impression of the nineties seems to be that they should be dressed more fashionably. ωω

The eighties and nineties were the beginning of fashion in "memory".

But if you look at the photos of yourself when you were a child, with your face painted as a monkey's buttocks, wearing a dull school uniform, and holding a gaudy plastic fake flower, standing in front of the fake and blurry print background, it is a high-end art photo of that "fashion" era. It's really hard to match your "impressions".

Perhaps, this "impression" itself has undergone the distortion of the new era.

The photos of the past circulating on the Internet are so beautiful, also because the people who can leave photo records back then have better material conditions than most people. Moreover, it is always the thing that can circulate that stimulates the senses the most. As for other things, most people don't care and are wishful thinking forgotten by the "next era".

Uncle Li stubbornly did not want to agree with Aunt Li. Aunt Li was gushing, one example after another popped out of her mouth, sounding more credible, but she didn't even have a personal name, all based on her own impressions to corroborate.

The two quarreled to the end, Uncle Li shook his head and waved his hand, sighed loudly, and looked too lazy to take care of Aunt Li. Only Aunt Li was left to be as arrogant as a victorious general, raising her voice: "It must have been thirty years ago!" You old man has a bad memory. I remember correctly! ”

Li Yun couldn't laugh or cry, "No matter how many years ago, we haven't found that ghost yet." It's not that important. ”

"Why doesn't it matter?" Aunt Li was dissatisfied, "If you know what year it is, you can look to see if there are any dead people in those years." ”

"Haven't you ever died in a year?" Uncle Li couldn't help but retort again.

"That's not what I said." Aunt Li glared at Uncle Li, "If you want to inquire about the news, you must always frame a general range, right?" Otherwise, how can you ask people? ”

"Have you framed the scope now? Thirty years ago, what was the use of such a large scale? ”

"Then we know now, at least ask someone from the age of thirty or above, right? It's best to be around fifty years old, thirty years ago I came of age and already worked, and now I am fifty years old, and I haven't reached the age of old and confused. Aunt Li squinted at Uncle Li, and meaningfully emphasized the three words "old confused".

Uncle Li waved his hand again, turned his back, and ignored Aunt Li.

Aunt Li grabbed Li Yun, "You listen to Auntie." Auntie will ask you about people. Don't worry, no problem! She patted her chest and reassured, and walked out majestically, to inquire about Li Yun's news.

Li Yun didn't even have time to stop her.

Uncle Li said in the back: "You let her go and see what she can find out." ”

Li Yun couldn't cry or laugh, "Why are you arguing?" ”

Uncle Li looked at the closed door, and his expression gradually calmed down, "Let her be noisy, she can be a little energetic." ”

Li Yun was stunned.

Uncle Li said with a wry smile: "It's better to take her out to play, relax, and find something for her to do than for her to think about at home." He sighed faintly, "Who would have thought that this death would have to be used for money...... She's ...... Alas......"
