Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

A decomposing corpse was found in an abandoned toilet. For an ordinary small village, this kind of thing is nothing short of sensational news.

Therefore, there is no need for me and Cui Musheng to go to the village committee. The village cadres, the police from the police station, and all the old and young in the village who are unemployed at home, all gathered around a few meters away from the toilet, whispering to each other in twos and threes. talking.

Taking advantage of the time when Cui Musheng, the first person to spot the scene, was being questioned by the police, I mingled into the crowd and listened to what they were talking about. important information.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, I already got a general idea from the villagers.The dead man was a well-known old widower in the village. He was nearly seventy years old this year. He had a very stubborn temper and had always been a loner. He didn't have a good relationship with the villagers.The place where he lived was considered remote in the village, and after the neighbors moved away, no one paid any attention to his whereabouts.If nothing like this had happened today, no one would have remembered him.

"I remember that when the relocation started, it started with them, right? Why didn't he leave when his neighbors left and right moved?" someone asked.

An aunt lowered her voice and said, "Well, I heard that he refused to move. The village head and party secretary came to persuade him to move, but he kicked him out with a broom. He will not move no matter how much money he has, and he will die here if he dies."

Someone in the crowd clicked their tongues and said: "Why is he so stubborn? His house and land are added together, so he can lose a lot of money. He is already old enough to live his life in style, Lai. What's so good about here, now he lost his life, he doesn't even have a child, and the house and land were confiscated by the government for nothing, what a loss!"

Everyone echoed his words, all looking regretful and sighing.That person is probably a "Bai Xiaosheng" in the village, and then he started talking about other people in the village. Whose son seems to be in his forties without a wife, and it has only been a few days since he got the compensation this time. , I just talked about getting married; whose daughter studied well, and his parents said that the compensation would be saved, and they would send her to study in the United States in the future; All the compensation money has been handed over to him for business, and now the family has rented a small house to squeeze in. If the money is lost, the old man and the old woman will cry to death...

Hearing them go further and further away, I withdrew my attention, only to realize that my heart was suddenly pressed down by something, which made me feel very heavy and uncomfortable.

The old man who died, his actions should be regarded as a nail... I don't know if his death has anything to do with Ren Min.

No matter how I feel about Ren Min, at this moment, I sincerely hope that the death of the old man was just an accident, at least, it was unexpected for Ren Min.

It is a very painful feeling for me to watch the acquaintance, who was once such a beautiful person, gradually degenerate and gradually become a person whose hands are stained with sinful blood.

By the time we finished the transcript at the police station and drove back to the city, it was already past eight o'clock.I was hungry and tired, and I collapsed on the passenger seat, not wanting to move at all.

"Today I was shocked. You have to treat me to a meal to calm my shock." Cui Musheng said suddenly while driving.

I said: "It's obvious that you are very curious and want to see what it looks like in that toilet, why is it now my fault?"

Cui Musheng puffed up his cheeks like a child, and made a "cute" look that is popular on the Internet: "If it weren't for me, the old man would still be lying in the toilet now, how pitiful, you should thank him for the old man Me, I have to treat me to a good meal, or else, I will not obey."

His last words brought up goosebumps all over my body, I shook my head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you for your mistake, I'll just invite you for dinner, and you will soon return to the original look."

Cui Musheng put away his cheeks and smiled childishly at me.I had no choice but to think seriously about where I should invite him to have this meal.

If it was in the past, I would have taken him to Old Yutou without saying a word, but... the last time I took Ren Min there, the proprietress saw me and Ren Min like that. If I had the face to go there again today, they would think I was shameless.

Thinking of it this way, I feel a lot heavier. I'm afraid it will be difficult to want to eat delicious old Yutou roast in the future, and it will be even more difficult to talk with him about wine.

In the end, I simply asked Cui Musheng to choose. He is a college student after all, so I chose a barbecue restaurant near his school. There are all kinds of grilled skewers of crayfish, spicy crab, and it looks like a crowd. It seems that the taste is also good.After I was seated, I couldn't help teasing him: "Rich second-generation classmate, I thought you would find a high-end restaurant to blackmail me, but I didn't expect you to like to come to places like this."

Cui Musheng waved his hand and said, "Stop teasing me. I hate people saying that I'm a rich second generation, making me feel like I'm getting something for nothing. Since I entered university, I've earned my tuition and living expenses by myself. It’s not bad to take artistic photos for others, or submit a manuscript to a magazine.”

I showed a look of admiration: "I can't tell, you are quite ambitious. When you took pictures for people, you met a lot of girls, right? I remember when I was in college, the boys who could take pictures were always lucky. The girl likes it."

Cui Musheng shook his head quickly: "That's really not the case."

"How is it possible?" I patted him, and said, "Don't be shy, your boy is so good-looking and has such a skill, how could there be no girls chasing after him?"

Cui Musheng looked left and right, and beckoned me to move my head towards him.I did as he asked, and then I saw the magnified little white face in front of me, opening and closing my mouth, and said something that stunned me for a moment: "Mr. Ye, let me tell you, don't spread the word. Actually, I don't like women, I'm gay."

I was stunned for a long time before I realized what he said, and my mind exploded immediately!All those messy little emotions before were blown away, and there was only one thought left in my mind: What is going on in this world!Homosexuals are all lumped together!
