13 Mink Street

Chapter 37: Business from Mine Street

   The hearse drove back to Mingke Street and stopped on the side of the road in front of the house.

   turn off the fire,

   he touched the steering wheel again,

   Karen suddenly felt an inexplicable love in her heart.

   It's a car that my family spent so much money on. It really doesn't matter in terms of texture.

   Mina pushed open the courtyard door, Aunt Mary greeted her and asked, "Have you eaten?"

   "Mom, we ate at Sarah's."

   "Don't call me back." Aunt Mary complained.

   "There is no phone in Sarah's house."

  At this time, Aunt Mary saw the jar in Karen's hand: "What's in the jar?"

   "The pickles are very refreshing."

   "Really, I will try it tomorrow too."

   Karen went back to the third floor and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

   Even in winter, he will insist on taking a bath every day. This is a habit developed in his previous life; fortunately, he still has this condition in this life.

   Aunt Mary puts her clean pajamas on the countertop in the bathroom every evening, and the clothes she wears the next day will be put on Karen’s bedroom bed. This makes Karen feel very warm.

   Comfortably took a hot bath, changed into pajamas, thinking about going to the second floor to pour a glass of ice water, hesitated for a moment, and went into his bedroom first.

   Lent is sitting on his spring bed, playing with some cards in his hand;

   Karen sat down at the desk,

   seems to remember something suddenly,

   turned sideways to Lunt on the back bed and said:

   "I just forgot, Lunt, you go and pour me a glass of ice water."

   "Okay, brother."

   Lunt got out of bed, put on slippers and went out to help his brother pour water.

Karen stretched out and tried to get the "General History of Religion" that Mina had borrowed from the library for him, but unexpectedly found that there were several more books on the desk, too. Religious books.

   "Brother, water."

   "Well, by the way, Lunt, who put these books here?"

   "Oh, I took it from Grandpa's study."

   "You got it from Grandpa's study?"

   Do you have the guts to enter Grandpa’s study to steal books?

   "Grandpa asked me to bring it."

"Oh well."

   This is normal.

   Lent lay back on the bed, pillowed on the pillow, looked to Karen's side, and asked:

   "Brother, don't you rest?"

   "I will read the book for a while."

   "Brother, don't you plan to return to school?" Lunt asked curiously.

The old brother may not be used to school, but now his brother, Lundt thinks it’s okay. He actually looks forward to the picture of his brother being filled with love letters after he returns to school, so that at this time in the evening, he can help his brother to take it apart happily. Love letter!

   "Well, let's talk about it, you rest early."

   Karen was eager to return to school before, and wanted to get out of the exam, get away from Diss, and breathe fresh and free air;

   The current Karen, as a jurisprudence identified as a "Cthulhu", realizes that the free air outside is not actually prepared for him.

   Turn on the lamp and take out a new book. The cover of the book is brown. The title of the book is "Order of Light". Karen noticed that the book was not labeled with the publisher, but it was well made.

   So, this is the internal publication of the Order of God?

   Opened the book and glanced at the outline, Karen found that it was indeed a book introducing "The Cult of Order".

It’s a bit like you go to someone’s company to apply, and they will give your own company "introduction", which will contain the company’s founding, development, growth, and opportunities. Of course, the most important thing is the extremely bright prospects and blueprint for the future. .

   Generally, the more unreliable a company, the more dazzling the future blueprints will be.

   However, religious internal publications are not the same as those of MLM companies, because the future prospects are basically fixed, and they are even the prayers that believers usually talk about;

   And, it’s a long time and a long heritage. Even if it is an MLM company, if it can sell MLM for thousands of years or even more than an era, it...may be an MLM company...but it must be aristocratic.

Most of the book in   's hand is about the history of the Order of God;

   From the beginning of the myth story, after the "historical narrative" of the myth story is finished, it transitions to the development model of having a name, a surname and a time.

   For example, what so-and-so did in a certain country in a certain country, what precedents he created, etc. It is very much like the chronicle of a country's political power.

   In terms of mythology, Karen paid special attention to the part where the **** of order awakened.

   In the description of this book, the God of Order is self-enclosed and exiled for an epoch, and there are a lot of complicated narratives afterwards, which, in summary, probably means "a monk enlightenment".

   It’s just that the enlightenment time of the **** of order is relatively long, and the eminent monk retreats and exits, while the **** of order is "wake up".

   The "waking up" here is very similar to the "waking up technique" that the Inquisitor of Order God must master.

   Karen remembers that Pu'er once told himself that in the mythological narrative of the Order of God, it was the God of Light who awakened the God of Order, but there is no such record in this book.

   Pu'er has lived for a long time. In Diss’s theory, Pu'er had been related to the Inmelais family before Diss was born;

   Therefore, Karen believes more in Pu'er's statement. After all, the written record can be changed. The most important thing is, what purpose does a cat have to tamper with history against this high school dropout?

   As for why in this book, the sense of participation of the God of Light is eliminated?

  The reason is also easy to understand, because the Bright God Sect has died out.

   The reason why the God of Light was brought in in the mythological narrative of the Order of God in the early years...maybe there was also a factor in the enthusiasm of the Light of God at that time.

   After the demise of the Guangming Divine Sect, he immediately cut it and revised his black history.

   After all, whose religion wants the true **** of his ancestor to be the younger brother of other true gods?

   If you still have a big family and a big business now, you can still hold your nose and climb down this relative. Now that your grave head is so high, you must be the eternal stalwart of the **** of order in our family.

   Not only that, but to count the fact that the God of Order described in the book has "closed and exiled" for an era, it is equivalent to a grade that directly exceeds the God of Light in terms of age or generation.

   was originally supposed to be the **** of light and "woke up" the **** of order, a bit like the elders and the younger generations, the elder brother wakes the younger brother;

   Now it is like the prayer of the God of Light, moving the God of Order, and then the God of Order descends.

   is very much like the religious game of fans in the rice circle with their idols;

  The rest of the mythological narratives Karen skipped directly, and Karen also chose to skip the middle chronicle.

The last volume of    describes the current mode of operation of the Order of God.

   But it only records which countries have which regions, how many management offices have and how many gods, and does not specifically describe the real underlying operation logic;

   But there is a theory that attracted Karen, because this theory was normal at first reading, but after thinking about it, I found it strange.

   "The gods signed a contract, which was bound by the contract. The gods took the initiative to step back and let the **** of order control the order of the heavens."

   "The Order of God, as an existence that maintains order, should be treated equally under the light of order."

   The "gods" here signed an order contract with the God of Order, and Karen didn't think it was true, unless the person who recorded this was the table or pen that signed the contract in the God Realm at that time;

   Therefore, this should be an allusive reality, and it is the many orthodox churches in reality;

   Take a half step back, it should be to transfer part of the power to the Order of God, and let the Order of God to maintain a certain order.

   But why are those other orthodox churches so reasonable? So consider the overall situation?

   Is it really a voluntary concession based on friendly negotiation?

   And when the "light of order" shines on, it treats everyone equally, and the meaning is worthy of fun;

   This passage is linked back and forth, and Karen has an image of a young and Dangerous boy holding a machete in his mind:

   Will you accept my rules?

  Don't be afraid, I like to convince people with virtue!

   Karen took a sip of water,

   Therefore, the Order of God in this world, at least for now, should have a relatively powerful presence and confidence.

   After reading this book roughly, Karen felt a little tired, and the remaining few books are not going to be turned over for the time being;

   go to bed,

   lights out,

sleep.

  ...

   The next day, at half past seven, Karen got up.

   After washing, he went down to the second floor;

   Breakfast is milk and bread with grilled sausage, oh, and some pickles.

   How to eat this stuff with bread?

   It may be my aunt who mistakenly thought that she was too fascinated by this bite. Otherwise, how could she bring back a large pot from her house?

   dipped bread with milk in his right hand, and habitually flipped through today's "Luo Jia Daily" on the table with his left hand.

   The first page of the newspaper is to inform all citizens that the mayoral vote will officially start in five days.

The second edition of    is an interview with representatives of the workers' demonstrations a few days ago.

  The way of presentation is that the reporter asks the other person to answer,

   The part of the workers’ response showed a negative and pessimistic attitude. A worker with pneumoconiosis said in the interview:

   "Sixson has betrayed us, betrayed the East Side!"

Um? Emotionally, it was completely different from what Lott and himself said last night.

   In Roth's eyes, the old mayor of Hickson is the pride of their Eastern District.

However, Karen is not surprised by the tendency of the newspaper. From the beginning of the campaign, the "Roja Daily" almost stood on the opposite side of the old mayor, as if he was sure that the old mayor would not be able to get it. Re-election is the same, and I don’t worry about whether it will be suppressed and liquidated if he stands on the wrong team.

   took a bite of the soaked bread,

   Karen suddenly discovered that in this very long interview, there was an interviewee named Lott.

  Reporter: Do you think the city government’s handling of the workers’ demonstration is appropriate and reasonable?

Roth: No, the city government is completely perfuncting us. When it needs our workers, it uses all kinds of rhetoric to make us work for him. Once we lose the value of use, for example, like me, we lose a leg and become When I became disabled, they would clean me out like rubbish, leaving me surrounded by flies in the stinking ditch to fend for myself.

  Reporter: Then, what are your views and expectations for the future?

Roth: No expectations. Really, I think the sky in Roja City has turned black. My family and I have become numb and desperate for the future. I just want something that can be maintained. The channels of family life, but I can't even get these.

  Sickson has betrayed our Eastern District. He is like those cold-blooded factory owners. After using us, he kicked us away!

   Mr. reporter,

   I already feel that I can't live anymore. Really, my family and I are almost unable to live anymore. This winter, it's so cold.

  ...

   At the bottom of the report, there is a photo. The man in the photo is holding a cane from the back, but one of his trouser legs can be seen empty;

   The background is Roth’s home, a low-rise home full of puddles.

   see here,

   Karen frowned.

   subconsciously picked up a piece of pickled cucumber, took a bite, and cursed with the sour and refreshing energy Karen:

   "This newspaper is really... shameless."

   He doesn't think this is what Rot said in the interview, because last night Rot had no reason or reason to deceive himself. His family opened the funeral club and not the mayor's office.

   "The newspapers are totally unreadable these days." Uncle Mason said as he walked over, "Especially after the mayoral campaign started, I gave up the habit of reading newspapers for breakfast."

   said, Uncle Mason made a circle with his hands:

   "After all, who wants to put a stamped **** in front of a meal?"

   "Then our house can change to another newspaper in the future," Karen said.

  "Oh, but that's just changing from a red badge to a black badge. Order a few more newspapers, and you will get more butts.

   It happens that every newspaper will reiterate that they respect the freedom of the press, but they understand that freedom is the freedom to press their boss’s **** on the faces of our readers. "

   "Uncle is right." Karen put down the newspaper, "Very profound."

   "Haha, eh, is this cucumber delicious?" Uncle Mason reached out and picked up one and took a bite: "Um...I..."

   After that, Uncle Mason went straight to a large glass of milk.

   "Oh my god, this is really the devil's food." Mason picked up the bread and pressed two more bites, but quickly said, "It's good to eat with meat, it can relieve greasiness, and it can be served with noodles."

   Karen was a little relieved. After his “feeding” for this period of time, Uncle Mason finally realized the meaning of “relieving greasy”.

  In the past, the food habits of the Inmelais family followed the uniform standard of Ruilan Middle Class, and this standard is roughly divided into two points:

   See if I am not sweet to you!

as well as,

   See I am not tired of you!

   "By the way, what date is today?" Uncle Mason asked.

   "It's 16th." Karen replied.

   "It's great, if you don't send it today, you can lie down and collect the deposit."

at this time,

   The phone rang on the first floor, and Aunt Winnie on the first floor answered the phone.

   Uncle Mason, who was eating bread, didn’t care about the crumbs flying out when he spoke.

   mumbled:

   "Don't be dead."

   a little while,

   Aunt Winnie’s shout came from the first floor: "Mason, Mason!"

   Usually there is such a rapid shout, which means that the car is about to get out, and Uncle Mason immediately got up and put on his jacket.

   Karen also got up and walked downstairs with Uncle Mason.

   "Winnie, wouldn't it be?" Uncle Mason asked as he went downstairs.

   In fact, there is no need to ask, because if it is another business, according to the contract, the Immeles family will not accept other orders until tomorrow.

   And even on the 18th of the day after tomorrow, Uncle Mason only arranged a welfare form, but did not receive the formal form. After all, he had to set aside one more day for others anyway. Don’t do business, you can’t be so rigid and greedy.

   "Yes, that order came, it's the one that paid the deposit."

   "Oh." Uncle Mason shrugged, "Okay, let's start."

   I paid a deposit. Now that the work has come, I must do it.

   "Afu, Ron!"

   Uncle Mason called out two tricks.

   Among them, Alfred's name was simplified by Uncle Mason because it was too convoluted. This is very common here. Sometimes friends with long names will even be simplified into a few letters to represent him.

   When Uncle Mason called Alfred, "A" politely prolonged a little bit, and then politely added a little bit of tongue, but it still sounded...Afu.

   Alfred appeared at the door, he was still in gray overalls.

   "Where is Ron?" Uncle Mason asked.

   "He said he was going to a pub for a drink last night, so he might be a little late today, and he hasn't arrived yet." Alfred said.

   "Damn it." Uncle Mason scolded, turned to Aunt Winnie and said, "When Ron comes, tell him to come over by himself, oh, yes, where's the address?"

   "No. 117, Mine Street, East District."

   "What?" Karen immediately looked at Aunt Winnie.

   "The road to Mine Street is so difficult, it seems that the road is still being built." Uncle Mason said.

  At this time, Aunt Mary walked up from the basement and said, "Mina's classmate Sarah lives in Mine Street, and Karen drove her back yesterday."

   "Well, that's okay, Karen, you can drive." Uncle Mason patted Karen on the shoulder, and asked curiously, "Does Mina's female classmate also live in Mine Street? What's the number?"

What number?

   That kind of shantytown where you need to walk on a rainy day and you need to step on a brick head to dance like a shanty town, where can you see the house number...

   Karen can only answer:

"I have no idea."

   "Okay, let me ask people wherever I go." Uncle Mason looked at Alfred again, "Afu, have you had breakfast?"

   "I have eaten it, sir."

   "Okay, let's go, Karen, drive."

"okay."

   Karen started the hearse and drove out of Mink Street.

   It won't, it shouldn't, it just happened on Mine Street.

   When driving,

   Karen's mind began to appear in the morning "Luo Jia Daily" report:

   I already feel that I can't live anymore. Really, my family and I are almost unable to live anymore. This winter, it's so cold.

   Then,

   appeared again at the last funeral, what the man in black who paid the deposit said:

   "Their family has a deep relationship."

   immediately,

   It seemed that Roth's words rang again in his ears:

   "Yes, yes, Mr. Cullen is right. Everything will be fine."

Ugh,

   What am I thinking,

   How could it be their home.

  We're going to Mine Street again later, so I can ask Mother Sarah about the making of braised noodles, especially the configuration of the sauce. If you want to learn it, it tastes really good.

   "Karen, be careful!"

   Uncle Mason shouted.

   Karen immediately tightened his consciousness, hit the steering wheel, and the hearse did not directly hit the street light.

   "Did you not wake up? Or are you feeling sick again?" Uncle Mason was not worried that Karen would crash the new hearse at home.

   "I...maybe."

   "Let me drive, you show the way."

   "Okay, uncle."

   The hearse has a large internal space, and the driving position is a bit like a small bus. People in the hearse can change driving positions without getting off the bus.

   Uncle Mason restarted the hearse, and Karen sat behind.

   Why am I so scared in my heart,

   I'm thinking about it, worrying about what I'm afraid of,

   Their family must be fine now. I will tell the grandmother later that her pickled cucumbers are really delicious.

   Alfred sat opposite, looking at Karen who was sitting there silently.

   He deliberately wanted to come forward to ask, but he hesitated. The great being is now uneasy, but he doesn't seem to need comfort.

finally,

   The hearse drove into Mine Street.

   "There are so many people, is it the day to go to the flea market?" Uncle Mason said, "Oh? There are two police cars there."

   Karen looked out the window. There were indeed many police officers in the crowd.

   "The hearse is here, the hearse is here." someone in the crowd shouted.

   "Poor family, I hope they rest in peace soon." A woman's prayer came into Karen's ears.

   "It's so pitiful. The little girl was carrying her schoolbag when she fell to her death. It is said that her mother lied to her to take her to school earlier."

   "Get off Karen." Uncle Mason yelled, "Get down the stretcher."

   Karen stood up. Because of the dimple design in the rear compartment of the hearse in front, Karen's figure was unstable. If Alfred hadn't reached out to grab Karen in time, Karen might have fallen off.

   Alfred smiled and said, "Master, it's not suitable to lie down here."

  ...

   "Well! You can lie down and sleep."

   "Haha, you can't lie down in this car."

  ...

   Karen got out of the car, Alfred in overalls had two shoulders left and right, and a stretcher trolley on each shoulder.

   Uncle Mason saw this scene and was taken aback:

   "I want to drive Ron."

   At this time, a thin sergeant came over and said, "Quickly go in and take the body away. There are too many people watching."

   Uncle Mason was a little surprised: "Are the procedures finished?"

   According to this onlooker, according to Uncle Mason’s experience, it is by no means the kind of normal death. Whose old man died of old age or whose family member died of illness can fill up half of the street? Unless he is very rich.

   "All the suicide notes are there. One was poisoned and the other hanged. The remaining mother and her daughter jumped off the roof of the tube building."

   "So much!" Uncle Mason exclaimed.

   "Hurry up, deal with it, finish it sooner."

   "Come on, you follow." Mason shouted to Ah Fu and Karen behind him.

   The rain last night continued into the early morning, so there was still water in the puddles, and everyone could only step on the bricks to get in.

   familiar road,

   familiar bricks,

  Familiar environment;

   Ahead, the conversation between Uncle and the Eastern District Sheriff continued to be heard in Karen's ears:

   "The man participated in the parade a few days ago, and he probably couldn't meet his demands. So in despair, he left his suicide note and committed suicide. In his suicide note, he was all scolding Mr. Mayor for treachery.

   Alas, there is no way. He is still a disabled person. You know, it is not easy for a person with all four limbs to find a job that can support his family, let alone a disabled person. "

   "Yes, what you said is."

   "His old mother should have found that her son committed suicide and couldn't bear the blow, so she hanged herself in the house. We put her down and she also had a suicide note. Just one sentence, my son needs my care."

"Ugh."

   "The man and the old mother died at home, and the neighbors didn't know it beforehand, so when they saw a woman with her daughter carrying a schoolbag, they asked them where they were going when they went out just after the morning.

   The woman replied that her husband called a taxi to take her daughter to school today, and the daughter was also happy to say that she didn't have to travel far to the station to take a tram today.

   The neighbors were wondering at that time, where their family had the money to take a taxi to make money, and their family’s daily income might not be enough to take a taxi. "

   "Later, the woman took her daughter..."

   "Well, I went to the roof of the tube building and jumped off the building, looking for her husband, and looking for her father.

   fell a bit miserably, I heard that your funeral club can restore people to their appearance before death, is this okay? "

   "No problem, this is our business card." Uncle Mason handed out his business card habitually.

   "It's amazing. It's here. The father's body has been carried out outside, and the old mother's body is inside. First collect these two, and I will take you to collect the mother and daughter's.

Um? Immelis Funeral Club, located on Mingke Street, interesting;

   When the people living here died, they were all taken directly to the crematorium and burned to ashes. Who would go to the mourning service? "

   "Well, we are..." Uncle Mason didn't know how to explain it.

   And Karen behind opened his mouth, he heard exactly the same words last night.

   "Master?" Ah Fu asked in a low voice, "Is your body really okay?"

   Sheriff suddenly shouted angrily:

   "Hey, push those reporters away, push away!

   Damn, who asked you to take the suicide note to the reporter and take it back for me!

   Hurry up and take the body away. Hurry up, these reporters are like sharks that have seen blood. I don't want to get into trouble. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"OK."

   Uncle Mason came to the male corpse covered with white cloth on the ground and stretched out his hand to signal Karen and Ah Fu to come over.

   Karen looked at the male corpse in front of him, his mind empty.

   "Thank you, ma'am, hey, ma'am, did you hear me, he calls you madam." Poisoned;

   "You must be full, you can’t be polite." Hanged,

   "It seems to suit your taste very well. Take it home and try it with your family." "Well, I help Dad squeeze his leg every day." Jumped off the building;

   In Karen's mind, the family who saw her farewell through the rearview mirror came to mind when she left last night.

How can this be,

   how could this happen,

  Although they are poor, they have been trying to live optimistically;

   How could this family go to seek death!

Will not,

  Impossible.

   Uncle Mason shouted: "Afu, come over and I will carry it with you, Karen, you can help the stretcher."

Uncle Mason and Ah Fu lifted the body together. When it was placed on the stretcher, the wheels of the stretcher slipped, and Karen subconsciously reached out to hold it, but he stepped on the puddle under his feet, and one slipped. Lost his balance and fell backward.

   Fortunately, there were onlookers behind him to withstand him, so that Karen would not fall into the mud puddle.

  Due to the sliding of the stretcher trolley, the corpse just put on it also swayed. The white cloth that had originally covered the corpse fell down, revealing the empty cuffs of the corpse.

   Karen stared at the sleeve, um, is it missing an arm, shouldn't it be a leg?

   At this time, the person who held Karen with his chest opened his mouth and said:

   "Mr. Cullen, get up quickly, I can't hold it on crutches."
