Alice had already finished half of her lunch, but the bartender's story was so exciting that she forgot to use her fork.

"Why are you buried on the mountain?"

"I heard old Henry say that Mr. Fourth said there is a good place on the mountain. If he dies, it would be best to bury him on the mountain."

Alice asked again: "You laugh when you talk about old Henry. Did he do anything that made you happy?"

"Miss, this bar used to belong to old Henry. I was an orphan he took in. Many orphans in this city received his favor decades ago. Apart from his weird temper, he was also a very good person.

people."

Alice lowered her head to eat: "Sorry, this was my negligence."

…

…

"He can be considered our adoptive father, but he never allowed us to call him that."

The middle-aged man stood in front of the lonely tombstone, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke his mind.

Zhou Jinru and Xu Yu stood a few meters away, looking at the letters carved on the tombstone. They formed a title and a name.

Steward of Oia IV, Ector Henry.

Out of nowhere, he asked: "Can you tell me Henry's story?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhou Jinru and wondered which adoptee he was a descendant of? This thought only lasted a few seconds. If the other person was unwilling to reveal it, it was not convenient for him to ask more questions.

But he didn't mind telling others about old Henry.

"I moved into Oia IV when I was eight years old. At that time, old Henry was the only one left in the mansion. He never allowed us to enter the upper rooms, saying that they belonged to the two owners. At that time, all of us

Everyone is thinking that the owner of the mansion has passed away long ago, how could he come back again? There must be a lot of gold and silver treasures stored in those rooms, and there are too many gold coins and banknotes to spend."

Xu Yu smiled: "Then you secretly went to the room to watch?"

"Yes, the most powerful guy among us, who was once a skilled pickpocket in a gang, took action himself. While old Henry was drunk, he successfully unlocked the door and entered one of the rooms."

Zhou Jinru didn't speak. Looking at the other party's expression, he knew that there must be no so-called treasure in the room.

"The room still maintains the appearance of daily life. It is cleaned regularly. Not only is there no dust, but there are also some seasonal fruits on display. It seems like someone lives here, but all of us know that no one will live here."

Xu Yu said with emotion: "He is a loyal servant and a reliable friend."

"You...Doctor Xu Yu?"

At this time, the middle-aged man finally remembered the identity of the lady with light blue short hair in front of him. It should be said that very few people in Pingpan didn't know her.

"Hello, I am Xu Yu, this is my companion, you can call him A Guang."

Zhou Jinru shook his head and said that he didn't care about this. He had just seen the titles on the other two tombstones. One was called Mr. Four, the male owner of Eya No. 4, and the other was called Miss Yu, the hostess of Eya No. 4. There was no other name.

Yes, even the year of birth and death was not written.

"They are a couple?"

The middle-aged man looked a little strange: "No, you can't say that. We all thought that Mr. Fourth and Miss Yu were husband and wife at first, but the actual situation is not like this."

"oh?"

…

…

"Why?"

"I also asked old Henry many times, but he still refused to say anything. He only said some strange things once when he was drunk."

The bartender looked at the door. Mayor Marcus walked in from the outside. He saw Alice sitting at the bar and shouted in a loud voice: "Old guy, are you telling those stories again?"

The bartender smiled and said: "Story? Maybe, after a while, when we old guys are buried in the soil, no one will know what happened in the past."

Alice couldn't wait any longer and asked: "What's going on between them?"

…

…

"Miss Yu and Mr. Four are not husband and wife, nor are they even lovers. There is a relationship between them that is difficult to describe. In the words of old Henry, it is called a companionship. It goes beyond friendship, love, and family ties. Their lives

They relied closely and could not be separated. Mr. Fourth was the leader, and Miss Yu was by his side, until one day, Miss Yu passed away. Mr. Fourth took care of everything and then passed away."

The middle-aged man stared at Henry's tombstone and said in a deep tone: "But later on, old Henry always said that one day, both masters will come back, and it won't be long before he wants to wait until they come back to get the day. This is simply unbelievable.

How can someone who has died be resurrected?"

"Indeed."

Zhou Jinru sighed. Inexplicably, he felt sad. When he turned to look at Xu Yu, the girl's eyes were filled with tears and she was crying silently.

The atmosphere here was too heavy. Zhou Jinru said goodbye to the middle-aged man and left with Xu Yu.

"Ah Guang, do you believe that people can be resurrected after death?"

Zhou Jinru paused. He wanted to say that people cannot be resurrected after death, but he thought that this land cannot be judged by common sense. The dead can still break through from dreams to reality. Maybe there is a way to live forever somewhere?

"I don't know, but I can accept this fact."

When they came down from the mountain, it was already approaching afternoon. Neither of them had eaten anything for lunch, so they found a restaurant in the city to eat.

"Ah Guang, I saw a movie theater over there, and the poster seemed interesting."

"no problem."

Zhou Jinru agreed immediately. Summer afternoons are extremely long, so watching a movie is also a good choice.

However, the cinema in Pingpan was too deserted, and there were only a few spectators besides them.

Xu Yu's skill in movies is really excellent. She acted as a narrator while watching the movie. Her narration was so vivid that in the second half, Zhou Jinru's attention was focused on her and ignored the movie.

"Have you watched a lot of movies?"

"I have seen it. I have been to many places. Movies and novels are good spiritual carriers."

Xu Yu carefully tore off the stubs of the movie tickets and put them into her suitcase.

Inadvertently, Zhou Jinru noticed that there were many ticket stubs in her suitcase, which confirmed the fact that she liked watching movies.

Two and a half hours later, when they walked out of the cinema, the sky was darkening. They should go back now.

…

…

"Come back, don't come back, come back, don't come back, come back..."

The priest girl sat boredly at the table, throwing playing cards one after another. One day passed, and the man didn't come back. Could it be that he still planned to spend the night outside, and God had no new will. She wanted to stay here.

Are you going to keep waiting?
