Chapter 1

The moment Wei Lai was awakened by the cold, a thought flashed through his mind: I have had enough, so I will return to the south today!

This was the fourth month he spent in the Arctic Circle. At that time, he had withdrawn from the Arctic Ocean to the dense forests of the Lapland region and curled up in a kota (tent) abandoned by the Aboriginal Sami people. The tent was very similar to the Indian felt tent, with a spire cone, a pile of reindeer skins, bear skins, and felt to keep warm. He wrapped his animal skins and lay in a layer of ashes about half a foot thick. He burned a bonfire before going to bed, and he still felt warm when he lay down. Now he reached out to touch the ashes, and the ashes were cold to bite. He suddenly took a bite, and half of his arm was so cold that it was numb.

It's time to return south. Four months, especially in the second half, no more than one slap in the face. It is said that people who have lived alone in extreme environments for a long time will have illusions: Yesterday, he was sure that he saw a reindeer sitting cross-legged on the ground and applying lipstick. The brand of the lipstick is Chanel, the color number is 99, and it is red. After applying the reindeer, he turned his head and pouted at him, as if asking for a kiss.

Wei Lai actually commented on its makeup: "You should have a lip liner."

After saying that, he squatted down with his head in his arms. If he didn't leave, he might have mental problems.

He wrapped his animal skin tightly and came out of the kota. A night of wind and snow was surprisingly quiet. A ghostly aurora in the sky was twisted into the orange-red clouds. The tall red pine was shaped by layers of ice and snow. He lowered his head and bent down. Everyone was bloated, like giants and demons, arranged to the thick white bones at the end of the sky.

The Sami people believed that there was a fire fox in the sky, running in the night sky, slapped the snowflakes with its tail, and aurora appeared.

In the eyes of Chinese people, it is called auspicious aura.

Chinese people are particular about doing things, and they like to make a good day when they build houses. The day they decided to return to the south was full of auspiciousness and good intentions.

——

Stepping on the knee-deep snow, Wei came all the way south and hiked out of the Lapland Forest. When you are lucky, you will take a sled by a Husky dog.

After being relieved, the breath that could never die in the snow field, the biological clock began to be disordered, and the spirit was always in a trance, like a woman who had given birth was stupid for three years, and she was confused when she spoke and did things, three meals in rough pizza, outdated Italian meals and reindeer ice beer switched back and forth. When he returned to the capital Helsinki, he could clearly remember two things.

First, when passing by Santa Claus village in Rovaniemi, he bowed to the lamppost marking the Arctic Circle, as if he had said goodbye. A tourist avoided peeping at him, and he heard someone commenting on him as a savage.

Second, he took a large tow truck full of Norwegian spruce. Finland claims to be a country of five million lumberjacks. Such a tow truck is very common. The cab is not enough to sit in it. He rolled into the car with animal skin and fell into the back and lay down among the pungent smell of trees. In the second half of the night, the driver came up to slap him. The general idea was that he could only send it here. He heard it, but he couldn't open his eyes and did not get up. He said vaguely: "Then just throw me here."

The driver had no choice but to greet his companions, one of them raised his head and the other, and threw him on the side of the road like a corpse. His face was half against the mud, and he slept until dawn.

However, when he returned to Helsinki and saw the milky white Lutheran church in the high place from afar, he suddenly recovered his blood.

He has clear ears, clear eyes, quick thinking, and can smell the smell of the meat burger just out of the distance. The blood in his blood vessels is like the boiling water in the sauna next to him, starting to boil.

When I returned to the old place, some people hate it and think it is cold and bleak, like the "Soviet Republic before the implementation of the opening-up policy", some people like it and think that this city surrounded by the Baltic Sea has pastoral poetry and painting.

It was the end of March, and Helsinki was still sweeping the tail of winter, cold and dark, and Weilai wrapped the sloppy animal skin, walked through the concrete apartment building, the store with dusty windows, adult goods stores and Thai massage parlors.

The streets were empty and no one watched him, and he walked all the way into the bar that Elene opened underground.

——

The name of the bar is: Wecareabouttheworld.

The shop name in all English is not even written in the local Finnish or Swedish language. The faces entering and leaving the world are filled with many light or dark transactions. The elk said that the bar is a whirlpool floating on the surface of Helsinki's skin. Those who don't understand have to walk around, and those who understand naturally come in.

The guard came and pushed the door open.

During the day, the bar has no business, and only one wall lamp is turned on. The dim light covers the mini jellyfish standing on the bar. Two transparent sea moon jellyfish float inside. The jellyfish is shining with green light. The jellyfish drags its long tentacles, like a ghost full of phosphorescence.

Behind the jellyfish tank, there was a face twisted by water flow, light and glass. She probably saw Wei Lai through this heavy twist, and raised her head in surprise.

That's Erin.

Erin is a young German woman with red hair, very similar to the heroine in the famous German movie "Running Lola". She has a very thin king cobra tattooed around her neck. The snake novices are spitting on the slightly convex part of her throat. Every time she speaks, the snake novices seem to be hissing and thrusting.

But in fact, beneath the aggressive appearance, Erin is a mild whiteboard.

She looked at Wei Lai, confused and alert, and reached down the bar with one hand, where a Russian Makarov pistol was hidden.

Wei Lai knew that she had not recognized her, or regarded him as a homeless tramp: his hair was messy, almost growing with a beard that had not been shaved for many days, like two bushes meeting in a narrow road; his face was scratched, mud was soaked in the skin, and it could not be washed away. His clothes were inappropriate, and the smell of the animal skin was mixed with the smell of blood, reminding him that the two days of raw food eating when it was inconvenient to raise fire.

His Adam's apple rolled and said, "I."

Erin's eyes widened: "David's coming?"

——

Wei Lai is his Chinese name, David. His agent Elk loves China fanatically. After carefully studying his name, he said that in Chinese, when "come" means "coing", we are not only stating the fact that you are here, but we also called your complete Chinese name.

So Erin is calling his name now.

Wei Lai nodded: "Key."

His apartment was the Elk property, and on the top floor of the building, the keys were usually left to Erin for safekeeping—just for custody. Erin never had the idea of ​​helping him organize his room, clean or change his bed sheets, even though she always emphasized that she loved him very much.

Ellen was still shocked and handed over the key with only two fingertips. When Wei Lai leaned closer, she showed a complicated and disgusting look on her face, as if she was afraid of being caught by him, so she almost threw the key over.

Wei Lai reached out to catch it.

Erin said: "How did you become like this?"

Wei Lai replied: "You have been in the north for four months, and that's the same."

This is not the truth. I can't stand it for four days if I do.

He turned around and left, the building was not as cold as outside, and he took off the animal skin while walking.

Erin called out from behind: "Wei!"

Wei turned around and she came forward, and was fumed back two more steps, with a solemn expression and even a little anger.

"Wei, you'd better get back to your previous appearance. You know, I love you, mainly because of your handsome face and figure..."

When she talked about "handsome", she hesitated for a moment, feeling that the word "handsome" was a blasphemy to handsome.

"...Anyway, I can't love you now."

——

The elevator upstairs is at the end of a narrow corridor. When it was gone, it would pass through the security room. The apartment building was equipped with only one security guard. He was a German named Mark. He was bald and fat, so it was difficult to pass through the security room door. So most of the time, he stayed at the table behind the glass window, or slept on his tummy or ate.

When the Wei came by, Mark was holding the fork and concentrating on grinding and cutting the Bavarian white sausage from the plate. He felt a black shadow passing by the window, and said hello to do his duty as a security guard: "Moi!"

When I said hello, I didn't look up. The sound of Moi with spits and starfish was greeted on the sausage.

Wei Lai felt that no matter whether the murderer, brown bear, alien or ghost passed by the window at this moment, Mark would not pay attention to it - he was just a equipment, furnishings, and the psychological comfort of the guests.

During his long career as an apartment security guard, Mark only "stands up" once.

It was Christmas. In the middle of the night, two people killed people on the third floor of the apartment. They didn't care. They poured a glass of beer on the body, carrying the body from the left and right, just like to take a drunk friend.

The body was wearing only one shoe, the other foot was bare, the toes were scratching the ground, and a line of blood mixed with the smell of beer behind him.

Mark was not so fat at that time. He saw someone coming from afar and felt that the festival should have a festive atmosphere. So when the two of them were approaching, they suddenly poked their heads out of the door and shouted: "Merry Christmas!"

He received an unforgettable Christmas gift: he thought the murderer stabbed him.

This knife allowed his work contract to last for a long time, because Mark claimed that he bravely rushed out to protect the residents and seize the murderer.

He likes to say whatever he wants, but the murderer was not caught in the end.

The elevator is old-fashioned and very narrow, and requires manual switchover of wire doors. A roll of newspaper was thrown in the corner. It was stepped on many times. The bold and bold printing words and exclamation marks were exposed in the shoe printing.

——Ransom! (Ransom)

Probably, another robbery happened.

I haven't read the news for four months, and there are probably many people in this world who have died, many new people have been born, and a lot of money has flowed from some people to others.
Chapter completed!
