In the high tower, facing his surprised wife, Captain Yumaz Lara held his chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "But, isn't it that a sleepless person just doesn't sleep all day long? How can I imitate that?"

"Husband, you may have misunderstood the meaning of the old man. The sleepless one does not mean that you can just sleep, but that you have to do a job where you cannot sleep."

Huang Mingzhu's explanation made Captain Yumaz Lala wake up like a enlightenment. He immediately stood up and paced back and forth: "Imitation...imitation...it turns out that I was asked to imitate a profession!"

Captain Yumaz Lara, who understood the true intention of the goddess of the night after being reminded by his wife, immediately found a job where he could not sleep, as a gravekeeper.

On Planet Gay, people believe that after death, the soul will go to another world, which is called perfection.

In a perfect world, there is no suffering, no sadness, only happiness, endless food and endless wine.

It is the dream of every Gay civilian to be able to go to the perfect world. They grit their teeth in hunger, they remain silent under the whips of the big landowners, they endure the scorching heat in the fields, and the cold wind, all with nothing but

To be able to enter the perfect world after death.

Of course, there are strict thresholds for entering the beautiful world. The most basic thing is to have a cemetery, so that the body after death can be protected from wild beasts and kept intact.

The person responsible for guarding the cemetery is the tombkeeper.

Since tombkeepers need to stay in the cemetery all year round, they are considered unknown by the Gay people, so only the most humble and humble people can do this kind of work.

Captain Yumaz Lala had to change out of his silk robe and put on a filthy tattered shirt that exuded a fishy smell. He had to take off his high-soled black boots dotted with pearls and put on a pair of rags.

They were made of woven strips and looked like shoes that were exposed to the ground. Then the hair, which was meticulously taken care of and exuded a fresh fragrance, was decorated with plant ash.

Captain Yumaz Lara appeared on the street, already dressed as a member of the lower class of Gay Star. He easily found the crooked little house at the gate of the city with a deep crack in the yellow mud wall.

Captain Yumaz Lara bent over and squeezed into the house. An old man wearing an old official uniform was lying on the table and taking a nap. There were several wine bottles scattered at his feet, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol.

.

"Sir, I'm here to apply." Captain Yumaz Lala stood for a while, but the old officer still didn't seem to wake up, so he had to shout softly.

After shouting twice, the old officer still didn't wake up.

"Uncle!" Captain Yumaz Lala had to raise his voice.

It worked this time. The old officer raised his head, wiped his red nose with his sleeve, and stared at Captain Yumaz Lala with confusion.

"Uncle, I'm here to apply for a job." Captain Yumaz Lara bent down and tried his best to behave like a humble civilian.

"Get out!" The old officer waited for a while before his eyes finally gathered together. He looked up and down at Captain Yumaz Lara, then immediately raised his eyebrows, curled his lips slightly, and pointed at the door with disgust.

"Can a pariah come in here? He doesn't care about his status!"

"I know, I know." Captain Yumaz Lara laughed as he exited the small house. When he walked to the door, he accidentally rubbed against the door beam, and the dust falling from above sprinkled his face.

"Haha, a pariah is a pariah, he can't even walk!" Captain Yumaz Lala's clumsy look made the old officer turn from anger to laughter.

After leaving the cabin, Captain Yumaz Lara stood waiting at the door. After a while, the old officer wandered out.

He didn't say anything, but looked at Captain Yumaz Lara with contempt.

"Uncle, I heard that old man Wang from the Balipo Cemetery outside the city died, and I came here to apply for the position of the tombkeeper." Captain Yumaz Lara quickly bent down and said with a smile.

"Oh, you look stupid, you are quite well-informed." Under the sunlight, the old official's eyes narrowed to a straight line, and he shook his head, as if he hadn't completely shaken off his drunkenness. Maybe

It's because I don't want to break free at all.

"Yes, yes, when I was a child, people in the village said I could be an official," Captain Yumaz Lala said with a smile. His expression and way of speaking were exactly the same as those stupid people.

In order to achieve this, Huang Mingzhu specially asked his servants to catch a few fools on the street for Captain Yumaz Lara to observe and learn from.

"Being an official, hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard." The old official laughed so hard that he was now convinced that this guy was a fool.

Can a fool be a tombkeeper? No!

"You can go, the tombkeeper has already been chosen." The smile on the old officer's face gradually disappeared and he shook his head.

Captain Yumaz Lara calmly took out a cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into the old officer's shiny pocket, "Uncle, these are the steamed buns my mother asked me to bring to you."

He still had a silly smile on his face.

"Steamed buns?" The old official put his hand into his pocket, touched hard, and felt a round hard object.

He frowned: "This is not a steamed bun..." As soon as the words came out, he woke up, pursed his lips, and smiled: "Oh, it is indeed a steamed bun. I am old and confused."

"My mother said, you are not confused!" Captain Yumaz Lara said foolishly.

"Yes, yes, I'm not confused, and you're not stupid!" The old official looked up and laughed. He turned around and walked into the hut. When he came out again, he already had a rusty copper key in his hand.

The "Quandang" copper key was thrown at the feet of Captain Yumaz Lara.

"This is the key to the Balipo Cemetery. You go to work today... By the way..." He seemed to have remembered something, and turned around and walked into the hut again, this time with a lantern in his hand.

The glass of the lantern was blackened, so the old officer did not throw it to the ground this time, but stretched out his arm and handed it to Captain Yumaz Lara.

"This is your lantern. Remember, you can only light it when you are on patrol. Don't be like Old Man Wang, who always lights the lantern. No matter how much lamp oil there is, it won't be enough for him."

"He deserved to fall headlong into a grave and die!"

As he spoke, he spat.

This is the custom of the Gay people. When alive, a person can be a pig, a dog, or worse than a pig or a dog, but after death, he becomes sacred. If you insult the dead, you may not be able to enter the perfect world in the future. But if you accidentally make a mistake

Don't worry, just spit on the ground and the person who was insulted will forgive you.

Of course, this statement has never been verified, after all, dead people do not jump out of graveyards.

"I understand, I understand!"

Captain Yumaz Lala took the food and turned around to leave. A whisper came from behind: "Boy, you have a good mother."

Good girl...Captain Yumaz Lara grinned. Pajeros have no parents. They are all synthesized using genetic technology. As for the mother, it must be the breeding machine with only a serial number and no name.

This was all Huang Mingzhu's idea.

Can Huang Mingzhu be his mother? No...

Balipo is eight miles away from Huangtucheng. It is a barren hillside covered with shrubs. There is a small wooden house sitting on the hillside, and in front of it is a large cemetery.

The weeds on the grave are flying in the wind, and under the sunlight, the shadows of the branches and leaves are swaying, coupled with the crows from the woods, giving people a creepy feeling.

Captain Yumaz Lara tightened his collar, took out a copper key and poked open the shaky wooden door of the wooden house, with several large holes gnawed by rats underneath, exposing sawdust.

As soon as he opened the door, several black figures jumped out from the dark room on the ground, which scared Captain Yumaz Lara and quickly stepped aside.

When the black shadow ran outside the house and disappeared into the weeds, Captain Yumaz Lara saw clearly that they were several big rats.

Lighting the lantern, the room was in a mess, with most of the space occupied by branches. A few rags piled on the mound should be quilts, and a chipped porcelain bowl was placed on a crooked table. The outside of the porcelain bowl was stained

It was full of dirt and the original color could no longer be seen.

Captain Yumaz Lara has never been in such a dirty and messy environment since he fled to the planet Gay.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally lacked the courage to stay any longer, so he moved the branches inside to the field outside and lit a bonfire.

Captain Yumaz Lara looked at the flames dancing in the wind and regretted accepting Huang Mingzhu's suggestion and not bringing his team members with him.

When Captain Yumaz Lara decided to become a tombkeeper in order to practice magical arts, he wanted to bring his team members with him, so that on the one hand, they could protect themselves, and on the other hand, they could do some trivial things for themselves.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mingzhu immediately waved her hands to express her disapproval after learning about his idea. She also told her reason. If a servant is a tombkeeper, is he really a tombkeeper?

To practice magic, you need to truly imitate a profession, so that you can empathize with it and understand the true meaning of this profession.

Captain Yumaz Lala thought for a while and finally agreed with this statement.

It's just that he didn't expect that the environment of the tombkeeper would be so bad.

Not only was the environment poor, but the treatment was even worse. Captain Yumaz Lala suppressed his nausea and pulled out two fist-sized sweet potatoes from the pile of firewood in the house.

These sweet potatoes are the food for the tombkeepers, and they are also the only salary for the tombkeepers. Every month, the county government will send a batch of sweet potatoes, which are collected from civilians.

As night falls, the cemetery is immersed in darkness, and strange sounds from unknown animals can be heard in the distance from time to time.

Captain Yumaz Lala threw the remaining half of the sweet potatoes into the fire, lit the lantern and began to perform his duties as a tombkeeper.

The gravekeeper rests during the day and works at night. He needs to patrol the cemetery all night.

Of course, this kind of patrol is not to prevent someone from robbing the tomb. After all, the people buried here are civilians, and the only property in their tombs is a thin coffin and a pair of relatively clean clothes.

What the tombkeepers need to guard against are the wild animals that wander down from the mountains nearby, such as wild dogs, wild boars, and wild wolves.

These guys would sneak into the cemetery at night, use their sharp claws to open the graves, dig out the corpses inside, and eat them.

Once the corpse is damaged, the original owner will not be able to enter the so-called perfect world. Even those who have already entered will be kicked out by the guards of the perfect world because of their missing limbs.

Protecting the integrity of the corpse is a big deal for the civilians of Gay Planet. They will hand over their life savings to the government just to have a place to rest in this cemetery after their death.

When the government accepted money from the common people, it was natural for them to show off, so the profession of tombkeeper came into being.

As for whether a skinny old man who could collapse in the wind can really protect the safety of their corpses, that is another matter. After all, corpses lying on the ground will not crawl out to complain.

Since there is no one to supervise, Captain Yumaz Lara's work becomes simple. He only needs to walk around the cemetery twice every two hours with a lantern.

But today was his first day at work, and with imitation in mind, Captain Yumaz Lara decided to go through the entire cemetery.

Since there is only this cemetery within a radius of dozens of miles, the harvest has been very poor in recent years. The area of ​​the cemetery has increased a lot, and there are many graves inside, which makes it miserable.

At midnight, Captain Yumaz Lala only inspected most of the area. When he was about to walk to the other side with a lantern in hand, a layer of mist suddenly rose around him.

Because of the mist and the potholes on the ground, Captain Yumaz Lara almost fell down. Just when he picked up the lantern that fell on the ground, he suddenly felt an inexplicable realization in his heart.

This realization was unclear, but it made Captain Yumaz Lara feel that his night vision ability was stronger. The mist that could have obscured his vision instantly became transparent, and there were several crickets hidden in the grass next to him.
