Chapter 64 Are You Willing To Follow Me?

Fu Rong Tang is located in the southern suburbs and is a group of buildings with a unified style.

The building in the middle is majestic, with red bricks and green tiles under the blue sky and white clouds, and dense cypress trees on both sides of the road.Of course, there are some small buildings next to them, the shape is even more simple, it is simply plastered with gray cement, and they also stand respectfully on both sides.

There are not many people coming and going here, all of them are dignified, wearing black clothes and black skirts, like swallows shuttling among them.

Li Mu stood at the entrance of Furong Hall, momentarily stunned, surrounded by people he didn't know.

"Li Mu." Yue Renge called him not far away, "Come here."

Yue Renge looked rather haggard.The bruises at the corners of the eyes have subsided, the cheeks are slightly sunken, and the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping.The clothes are still neat and clean, without some delicate decorations, and there is only a white flower made of paper on the chest.He tried his best to smile at Li Mu, "How are you doing these days?"

These days, they were busy with their own business, and they kept their emotions in their hearts by coincidence, and they didn't meet each other.When they met each other suddenly, they felt as if they were separated from each other.Li Mu is at the bar, Yue Renge is elsewhere.Dionys without Liang Chuan is like having a pair of prosthetics suddenly replaced. Although he can barely walk, there is still a process of adaptation.

Being busy is second to none. In the process of being busy, I always consciously or unconsciously evoke a period of sad emotion, which is even more terrible.Li Mu always subconsciously wanted to call Liang Chuan by his name, but when he raised his eyes, it was Amy who was standing there.

The female bartender looked at him blankly, Li Mu apologized repeatedly, and continued with her work in a hurry.

Feeling sad.

Some people have left, but his traces are still there.The way he speaks and the things he likes all cast shadows in this limited space.People can't help but think of him.

"You've lost weight recently." Li Mu looked at the injury at the corner of Yue Renge's eye, "The injury on the face is better, does it still hurt?"

"I don't feel it anymore." Yue Renge seemed a little cramped, with his hands in his pockets, his eyes drooping, staring at the shiny upper. "The ceremony starts at ten o'clock," Yue Renge said, "let's take a walk."

This funeral home located in the southern suburbs was actually just completed five years ago. Take Line 1, get off at the terminal station, turn left and walk a few hundred meters.Since it is newly built, its specifications are much better than those of the old buildings.The air in the suburbs is much fresher than that in the city, with natural mountains and clear waters; and there is less noise from those feasting and drinking.All in all, it is indeed a clean place.

I don't know if Liang Chuan, who has long been used to the excitement, will find this place too boring.

Li Mu and Yue Renge walked side by side, a small path stretched to the distance, and the flowers and trees were flourishing.Today is a cloudy day, and I don't feel stuffy, just walking slowly like this, at most a thin layer of sweat will break out.

It was Yue Renge who spoke first.

"I tried to contact Liang Chuan's family," he said, "but unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch."

Indeed, as he said, Liang Chuan's parents had been dead for a long time, and those scattered relatives never showed up.But that's fine, Liang Chuan lived a simple life before his death, and the only thing that could be called property, apart from his old clothes, was a box of dusty books under the bed.

"He said a long time ago that he would leave it for the kids in the bar." Yue Renge said, "That was all decided by him very early on."

Li Mu nodded, this is also very similar to Liang Chuan's style.

Yue Renge babbled about some recent events.His tone was calm, like a calm narration in a documentary. There were many things, very detailed, but because of Yue Renge's narration, Li Mu didn't find it annoying.He listened quietly, and Yue Renge stopped when he talked about asking a makeup artist to retouch Liang Chuan's remains.

Li Mu turned his head and looked at him in surprise.Yue Renge pursed his lips, turned his face sideways, two lines of tears had already flowed down his cheeks.

Li Mu hugged Yue Renge quietly without saying a word.

Yue Renge was trembling.Li Mu stroked his back lightly, "Okay, okay, it's okay."

"Liang Chuan is dead." Yue Renge leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, tears quickly soaked Li Mu's clothes, Yue Renge's voice became dull, "He is my best friend..."

"...I know." Li Mu said softly, "I know."

He understands Yue Renge's sadness.It is precisely because I understand that I know how pale and powerless those comforting words are.He just hugged Yue Renge and let him sob softly.Yue Renge seemed to have become very small, very small, a little child, a fragile child who needed care.

"And me." Li Mu pressed his palm on Yue Renge's back, feeling the slight ups and downs of his shoulders, sobbing slowly.

Liang Chuan's farewell ceremony began at ten o'clock in the morning.Because they have no relatives, Zhao Shengyan, Yue Renge and Li Mu temporarily played such roles.Many people came, most of them were Liang Chuan's guests and friends before his death.The makeup artist's technique was very good, and he modified the original sharp edges and corners, making Liang Chuan look much gentler than usual.

That was his rare appearance, and Liang Chuan himself might not be satisfied.He has been a fighter with teeth and claws all his life, how can he pretend to be gentle and kind that does not belong to him now.

But even if he is not satisfied, it is too late now.

The girl in the black gauze skirt had obviously been crying once. Li Mu recognized that it was Annie. The girl hugged Yue Renge, and said to Li Mu: "The video is being edited...it's very difficult. Every time I see Liang Chuan, I will be sad."

Li Mu didn't know what to say, so he hugged her.

"Condolences."

Li Mu looked up, the middle-aged man in a black suit was Cao Yang.He brought his young lover over, took a white rose, and placed it beside Liang Chuan.

When the person is gone, the grievances and grievances in his lifetime will also dissipate.People who liked and disliked all came. Li Mu looked at the turbulent crowd and performed the ceremony numbly.He suddenly felt that a certain stage of life had come to an end, and it was still unknown what the new stage would look like and when it would start.

"Go to sleep." A bottle of iced mineral water was pressed against Li Mu's face, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.Yue Renge walked around behind him and sat down beside Li Mu, "I see you've been tired all morning."

"I'm not sleepy." Li Mu took the water with a dull voice.

"I know you're not sleepy." Yue Renge lit a cigarette, saw the no-smoking sign on the wall, and stubbed out the cigarette in frustration, "But I know you're sad now."

"..."

"When you are sad, people will become numb, forget about hunger and tiredness." Yue Renge said, "Don't tire yourself out."

After a short period of venting, Yue Renge recovered faster than him and became a calm adult more quickly.

"Leo." Li Mu called him suddenly.

"What?" Yue Renge responded.

"Have you ever thought about... what to do next?"

Liang Chuan's departure has brought new changes to everyone's work and life, and someone must take care of Dionys' affairs.And Li Mu had to adapt to a working environment where no one taught him, let alone reprimanded him. This seemed like a good thing, but Li Mu was not happy at all.

"I miss Brother Chuan very much," Li Mu said, "I don't know what to do now."

This is not the same as the death of the father.Father left early, and it didn't leave too much impact on Li Mu at that time.All he knew was that his father had left and gone far away, but it wasn't that he didn't love them--that was enough.The father's image is vague, more like some kind of guidance, which made Li Mu ignorantly walk on this road.

And Liang Chuan is another type of existence, he is not a father, and certainly not a mother, if Li Mu unilaterally recognizes him as a friend, Liang Chuan will definitely scold him for taking advantage of the dead.

What is Liang Chuan?Liang Chuan is the teacher, the real guide, the one who took Li Muzheng'er on this road and gave him specific guidance.

How to cut the ice cubes, how to mix the wine, even the movement of shaking the pot - everything about Li Mu as a bartender has left Liang Chuan's brand.

When everyone saw Li Mu and Liang Chuan again, they would all praise him sincerely. Li Mu really deserves to be a good apprentice brought out by Liang Chuan.

But right now, the teacher is gone, and Li Mu is standing alone on this sparsely populated road, not knowing where to go.

Yue Renge pressed his shoulder.

"You are too tired." Yue Renge said.

Li Mu wanted to say that I'm not tired, but Yue Renge raised his hand to gently cover his lips, "You just haven't realized how tired you are yet."

What Yue Renge said had his own reasons.

"Let's take a vacation in a few days." Yue Renge said, "When these things are done, the whole bar will be on vacation for half a month. Everyone needs to relax."

Have a holiday.

That was a luxury and a faraway thing.A man who runs a bar, who provides pleasure to others, has no holidays to speak of.Li Mu heard Yue Renge say again: "Actually, we should organize everyone to go for a physical examination first. In our line of work, there will be some problems with your health, so you should go too."

That's a good idea.

"Then let's go out for a walk, it's too boring here." Yue Renge said, "Don't always have a sour face, if Liang Chuan sees you like this, he will jump up and beat you. He will also say, 'Stinky boy pulling a face Show it to someone'." He squeezed his voice to imitate Liang Chuan, vividly.

Li Mu finally smiled, "I'd rather him jump up and beat me up."

"Are you stupid kid?" Yue Renge also laughed, "It hurts him to beat someone, it's not like you don't know."

The atmosphere was active for a short while, the sun passed through the clouds and fell on their shoulders, it was extremely warm, as if it wanted to melt the ice in their hearts.

After a while, the smile on Yue Renge's face faded, "He said before that he would sprinkle the ashes into the Jinsha River."

Li Mu was surprised, "Not transported home?"

Yue Renge shook his head, "Not everyone wants to go home." After a while, he suddenly asked without thinking: "Speaking of which, if we have a holiday... Li Mu, would you like to go home with me?" ?”
