Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Malt

"Hey, hey, senior!" "Well?" Hearing Xiaotu's call, the senior blinked his eyes as if waking up from a big dream. "what is this?" "Do you still need to ask?" The senior seemed quite helpless, and his tone seemed impatient as if he was dissatisfied with being woken up from his nap. "Of course it's beer! Otherwise, what does it look like? Didn't you just say to yourself, 'Huh? Isn't that beer?'" "Of course I know it's beer! I mean—" Maybe it's because I'm too tired to even speak!The little rabbit crackled in a rare impatient tone: "Why is there beer in this place? Why? Why?"

Little Rabbit murmured: "Wow! There's a lot of ice!" while quietly reaching out his hand, he took out a can of shining golden beer from the refrigerator, and used the beer can instead of an ice pack, sticking it to his cheek. "Ask why? You..." "And looking back and forth, there was nothing but beer! Why...?" "Ask why? You..." The dreamlike silence fell again, and the surrounding area was filled with guilty silence, as if the topic in front of him was an untouchable taboo. Everyone eyed each other furtively, and remained timidly silent as if fearing to make an irreparable mistake by speaking first.An embarrassing, abrupt and ambiguous blank space slowly flows.

The person who broke this ambiguous atmosphere was Gao Qian. With the sound of a brisk jingle, all eyes were on her; she took out several hundred yuan coins from her wallet. I had the illusion of a mirage again. One of the reasons should be that I didn't understand why she would take out a hundred-yuan coin at this moment. For a moment—just for a moment, Gao Qian with several hundred yuan coins in his palm swayed like a "phantom"... No, it was more mysteriously swaying. I felt as if I had seen something I shouldn't have seen, and a shudder ran down my back.At this moment, Gao Qian actually smiled; at least in my eyes, she smiled.

what's so funny?Right now we are exhausted physically and mentally, half dead, and it is not the time to smile at all! Could it be that extreme fatigue made Gao Qian's mental state abnormal?No, maybe the abnormality is my brain, maybe everything I see is hallucination. The bungalows in the mountains, the vortex of golden light, the mysterious smile of Gao Qian, everything is... "Gao Qian, what are you doing?" This cry brought me back to my senses.Just like her nickname, Xiaotu's round eyes widened like rabbits. Taka-chi gave her a definite smile this time, and took out a can of Yebisu beer from the refrigerator.

"As you can see," she responded, placing the hundred-dollar coin on the egg rack and closing the refrigerator. "I drink from a can. I'm exhausted, stuffy and hot, and my throat is thirsty; if I don't drink any more water, I'm really going to die." This sentence brought me back to the real world completely. Gao Qian standing in front of her didn't shake, she was no different from usual; what appeared on that sharp and foreign-style face was definitely not a mysterious smile, but pure desire and anticipation for drinking beer. The familiar Gao Qian always had a wary and sullen face, but now she showed such a human expression that people couldn't help but rub their eyes.Influenced by her, I also seemed to giggle subconsciously.

"But, but," Senior Piaopao gave me a reproachful look before spitting at Gao Qianda. "Is this wrong?" "Isn't it right?" Gao Qian opened the jar with a snap, as if deliberately showing off to the seniors, and a lot of bubbles came out. "What's wrong?" "You, you... Hey!" It's nothing more than me who has always been wicked. Gao Qian, who pays special attention to good customs, made this move, which surprised Senior Piaobao; he opened his mouth wide, as if he had been stuffed with a piece of rice cake like. "Wait, wait a minute!"

"Why are you twitching, Xiao Piao? It seems like you're holding back your bowels." "You, you listen to me!" "Ah! It's delicious." Seeing Gao Qian ignoring his own restraint and drinking beer freely, the senior drifted away like a woman holding down a bra that was about to fall off, twisting her body and stomping her feet. "Stop, stop, Gao Qian! How could you do such a shameful thing? Stop, stop, stop!" "I already paid for it!" "Yes, is this the problem? No! Maybe they don't want to sell you at all! You haven't asked what they mean—"

"Xiao Piao, what are you talking about? Then let me ask you, did we mean to ask the owner when we entered this house?" "Huh?" The senior drifted like a junior high school student whose mother discovered that he had hidden pornographic books, his eyes wandered. "Huh? Huh?" "no?" "Huh... well..." "We trespassed, didn't we?" "That, that is... is..." "That's right? This can of beer is also the same as our home break-in, at least on the extension line. No, at least this can of beer has been paid for, maybe it's better than breaking into a home!"

"That's right, that's right, it makes sense. Besides..." Gao Qian's artillery fire was already fierce enough, but now even Xiaotu started to shoot from cover. "The person who broke the window and unlocked it is the senior!" "Huh? You, what did you say?" "The window was broken by the senior!" "I...I didn't..." "Huh? Are you going to say you didn't do it?" "But, but I really don't have one!" "You broke it." "Huh... well..." "It was you who broke it, it was you who broke it, it was you who broke it. Then you entered the room first, and unlocked the entrance from the inside to let us in. Now that things are going on, do you still want to argue?"

"I……" "Don't try to pretend! Put your own mistakes aside and still want to teach others? Before blaming Gao Qian, the senior should first pay for the broken glass and face the wall to think about it! This is a little convincing. No!" "I, I broke the window? I opened the lock and sneaked in? Me? I did this kind of thing?" Under Xiaotu's pursuit, Senior Piaopao completely panicked.At first I thought he was refusing to admit his responsibility in order to evade responsibility, but I didn't expect him to be really embarrassed, which made me laugh and cry.

It seems that the fatigue in the extreme situation produced a desire to rest strong enough to blur the consciousness, and eliminated the memory of invading the bungalow...Indeed, when experiencing mentally overwhelming experiences, the self-defense function will suppress the consciousness into the subconscious , Transform memory; this is a very common phenomenon in psychology. It is common to be common, but I never thought it would happen to a senior who has a mind like spring all the year round.Although it makes people suspicious, looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he is acting. His memory seems to be really missing a piece. "I, I did this kind of thing? You, you lied to me, right? Hey, did she lie to me? Please, say she lied to me!" Xiaotu ignored Baotou's chaotic senior, and imitated Gao Qian and snapped open the can of beer in his hand. "oops!" I knew something was wrong, but I didn't have time to stop her; I saw white bubbles pouring out of the can of beer that she shook and shook like a fountain, but the little rabbit was even more excited, drinking the can with mouthfuls. . "... Huh! Drink it well!" She let out a breath, and then she suddenly remembered to take out several hundred yuan coins from her wallet, and put them on the egg rack like Gao Qian. That sip of beer seemed to have restored Xiaotu a lot of energy, and her movements were as leisurely and cute as usual. "Ah! Come back to life!" With each breath, Xiaotu became more and more like a middle-aged man in an izakaya. "Ha! I live for this drink!" Suddenly, I saw several hundred yuan coins in my palm; I have no memory of when I took out my wallet and picked out the hundred yuan coins from the large amount of change. What happened when the senior broke the window seemed to happen to me as well.From this point of view, the phenomenon of memory correction in a favorable direction seems to be quite easy to happen. "Hey, hello... Jiang Zai!" Seeing me staggering and approaching the refrigerator like sleepwalking, the senior quickly supported me from behind. "Don't be impulsive!" "Eh... Senior? What are you doing!" When I was about to rush to the oasis but was prevented, even I felt terrible anger. "This is my line! What happened to your hand? What do those hundred-dollar coins mean?" "Let go!" "Don't let go!" "I want to drink!" "No drinking!" "I just want to drink!" "Bastard, wake up!" "Senior, you should be sober! What's the matter with you?" I was weak, unable to move, as if I couldn't drink the beer in front of my eyes. I was so anxious that I was about to cry. "In normal times, the senior would definitely be the first one to get the beer, so he wouldn't care if it's there or not!" "Well……" Being poked at the point, the senior couldn't help letting go. "Senior, you actually want to drink too!" "Of course I want to drink!" The senior also wrinkled his face, appearing to be in a half-crying state. "I really want to drink, I want to drink to death! But, I don't know why it became like this... Wow! Boy, think about it carefully, why do I have to be so disciplined? It's not like me at all! Why is it Am I lecturing you? Why am I here to stop you? In normal times, I should be the one who wants to drink, and then you should stop me! The roles are reversed!" "Simply put," Xiaotu raised the beer in his hand and let out a leisurely breath. "The first to grab first wins!" Snapped!I seemed to hear the sound of a tense string breaking, and I saw the expression of Senior Piao Pao relaxed, and he suddenly pushed me away from me and rushed to the refrigerator; seeing his erratic eyes, what? In bad times, this memory will be lost again. No, I think my eyes are probably the same as his, both erratic and dangerous!I didn't care about the hundred-yen coins scattered on the ground when I was bumped by the senior, just like a virgin groom meeting a bride in sexy lingerie courting, he swooped towards Yebisu beer like a hungry tiger. ……what!How can I describe this taste? No, it's not so much the taste, it's more like the shock of the birth of a supernova or the big bang, when the whole world is brilliant and explodes. I am also a beer lover, and my consumption has never been far behind; but in my life, I can say that there is only one beer like this. It feels like nuclear fusion energy falls from the esophagus to the stomach.Of course, I don't know what nuclear fusion energy is, let alone drink it; in short, it's like cells bursting in kilometer units, and the happiness before the severe pain is from the forehead to the toes. No wonder.After lunch at the National Hotel, we didn't eat a grain of rice, not a drop of water, not even a stick of ice cream or a stick of chewing gum. Looking at the watch, the date has changed, and it will be one o'clock in the morning in ten minutes.In other words, four hours in the car and three hours of misery over the mountains before we were able to enjoy this can of Yebisu. When the wine enters the liver and intestines, the pain is worse than coldness; even so, the mucous membranes are still scrambling to absorb the sparkling wine, and the pain turns into a trance in a blink of an eye, roaming in the blood vessels. It is the first experience in my life that a can of beer can be enjoyed like this.How long have I been playing in heaven? When I came back to my senses, I had already slumped to the ground. The other three people either sat or fell on the bare floor, and the murderous look on each face had disappeared, as peaceful as in deep sleep. Under the bright light, there is only a refrigerator and beer, and the darkness outside peers into the empty room through the uncurtained window.I look back into the darkness, committing myself to the ennui that surges in after the tension has eased. In the distance, there was a faint sound like the sound of the wind and the sound of an unknown animal, and the reality of being in the mountains quietly approached me. "...so tired." Xiaotu lazily turned over. "worn out." "Yeah!" Even Gao Qian, who usually doesn't cry out for pain or tiredness, agrees. "After drinking the beer, the tiredness seems to surge up." "That's right! That's right!" The little rabbit was coquettish, turned over again, and used Gao Qian's legs in high-waisted jeans as pillows.She seemed to be looking for the most comfortable position, lying on her back with her knees erect, lying on her side for a while, and was very busy.Every time she changes her position, the spring under the miniskirt is worried about leaking; but she doesn't know whether she knows it unconsciously, or she still doesn't forget to guard against men's eyes even when she is tired?Always looming, nothing can be seen. In fact, the sight of Gao Qian and Xiaotu alone is enough to heal. Of course, even if I could see it, I don't have the strength to be happy now.I don’t know what the senior is, but the appeal of my dishes is far greater than that of beauty—just as I was thinking this way, Xiaotu himself said: "Oh! It would be more perfect if there was something to eat. You don't have to fill the refrigerator with beer like a ruthless one! Why don't you put some ham or fruit?" "There's no food here?" After drinking a can of beer, Senior Piao Pao, like a dog who has finished marking, took this place as his own territory and sat down carelessly. "Are there no steamed buns or instant noodles?" "Didn't I say that? There's nothing downstairs—ah!" Xiaotu suddenly stood up, his posture was like a gymnast's finishing move. "By the way, is there anything here?" She opened the freezer, but what sat on the opposite side of the white air conditioner was not frozen food, but beer mugs that were organized like an army. And there are quite a few of them, more than ten of them, all of them are as white as rock sugar, and blew air like a chimney. This is nothing compared to the shock of discovering refrigerators and beer in the first place; however, a large number of beer glasses is still a rather strange sight. "What's going on here?" The expectation was too great, and the disappointment was also great; the little rabbit sat down exhaustedly leaning against the refrigerator door. "Since there is a freezer, why put this kind of thing? Why don't you put some ice cream or something?" "It seems that the people who live here only have beer in their eyes." Senior Piaopao also got up, and opened the refrigerator door again with a complaining expression on his face. "I don't know what kind of person it is?" "It must be the same kind as the senior and the craftsman!" "Huh? What does this sentence mean?" "It literally means! Even if there is nothing in the world, as long as there is beer, he will be extremely happy; if he is asked to choose between women and beer, he will choose beer without hesitation!" "What are you talking about! Nonsense, don't compare me with Jiang Zai!" What does this sentence mean? "Yeah, Jiang Zai is so unbelievable, he has reached the point of being sick!" Hey, what does this mean? "If I had to choose, I would choose a woman." "Really? The senior usually drinks no less than the craftsman!" "No way, that's because I risked my life to accompany the craftsman!" ah?Don't be joking, I'm the one who risked his life to accompany the senior! "If you had to choose between Gaoqian and Beer, of course you would choose Gaoqian; but if you had to choose between me and Beer, which side would you choose?" "...Of course it's the little rabbit." "Ah! You are lying, you are absolutely lying! What's the matter with that thinking? Now you are still blinking!" While listening to Xiaotu and Senior Piaopao's jokes, I re-observed the refrigerator. The size is not too big, but it is not too small. It is a two-door refrigerator that is not enough for a family, but more than enough for a single office worker. There are no extra parts such as an ice room or a micro freezer.There are more than a dozen beer glasses in the freezer on the upper shelf of the refrigerator, and more than fifty cans of Yebisu beer on the lower shelf. I didn't notice it just now, but now I look carefully, there is an unopened cardboard box in the corner of the closet room, and an opened cardboard box is stacked on top of the cardboard box, and half of the contents have been taken out.As for what is the content?Yebisu beer, of course. The drawer-type fruit and vegetable compartment in the refrigerator is also filled with beer, and the portion that cannot be filled is put aside.The total number of refrigerated and unrefrigerated beers is about a hundred cans. Perhaps it is true what Senior Piao Pao said, the people living in this house are my kind... No, they are people who only have beer in their eyes. "The people who live here..." I couldn't help but murmured, "It's really a one-to-one life!" "Even Carpenter said that, so it can be seen that the people living here are really sick." In my opinion, the senior is seriously ill. "Alas! Sure enough, there is nothing to eat." The little rabbit kept waving its hands and feet like a wind-up doll. "No, it's too early to give up." Senior Floating put the empty can on the floor and walked towards the door. "Let's look for other rooms carefully. Beer is hidden in this room, maybe there are other things hidden in inconspicuous places!" Tibetan…… The word used by Senior Floating choked my heart. Yes indeed!This situation can only be described in Tibetan words. How can ordinary people put the refrigerator in the closet? What's more, if you take a closer look, there is no power supply in the closet. The electricity is received from the socket in the corner of the room, and the extension cord used to connect the electricity has obviously been tampered with, which is hard to detect at first glance. Why bother to hide something like this in a place like this...? This question naturally popped up in my mind, but under the urging of others, I couldn't think more at this time. We divided our troops into two groups again and searched the bungalows thoroughly. From the conclusion, let alone food, there is no other item hidden in this room.After all, there is no furniture here, and there are limited places to hide things; the kitchen is the most suspicious, so we checked the cupboards very carefully, but we didn't find a grain of rice. The room was literally empty except for the refrigerator, which was stocked with beer. "——No, wait a minute." The first person to remember was Senior Piaopao. "You guys just said that there was a bed in a room, right? It was Gao Qian or Xiaotu who said it." "Well, yes! It's downstairs." It was Xiaotu who answered. "However, it doesn't look like there's something hidden in that bed." "Anyway, just go and have a look." The room is located next to the stairs on the first floor. Judging from the size and the complete facilities such as shower room, washstand, and toilet, it should be a guest room. Looking out of the window, the road surface is pale under the moonlight; this should be the road we walked on. There is a double bed in the corner of the room, with sheets, blankets and pillows. Although I have gradually got used to the strangeness of this room, I still can't help but find it strange; because this room is empty except for the bed, neither carpeted nor curtains, except for a double bed. It sits like an isolated island. Judging from the size of the room, there should have been two beds here, but for some reason, there is only one left now, which adds a certain kind of sadness and horror to the place. And the pillowcases and bed sheets are cartoon animal patterns, and the mismatch caused by the cuteness contributes to the sense of horror and strangeness. "Why...it seems like no one has lived there?" Gao Qian muttered as he touched the pillow and the bed sheet. "It's ironed flat and shows no sign of being used at all."
