“...... Thank you, lad. ”

On the side of the street, the old man leaned on his wheelchair, his hands trembling, but he held the photo tightly.

"You brought her here, right?"

Raising his head, the old man struggled a little, looked at Lian Ge and said,

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge moved his steps, walked to the old man, and smiled slightly,

"The old gentleman has waited for so many years and finally saw her again, how does it feel?" Looking at the old man, Lian Ge asked in a calm tone,

When the old man heard this, he raised his head, glanced at Lian Ge, and after being silent for a while, he turned his gaze and looked into the distance of the street.

“...... Before the age of thirty, I thought that she should not be married, but by mistake, and I missed, and when I saw her again, I would pick her up.

Before I was forty years old, I thought that when I saw her again, I must ask her why I hadn't returned to the vegetable market for so many years......

When she was sixty years old, I thought she should have died, probably died on the battlefield in Silla......

Before I saw her again, I thought that I would be very excited when I saw her...... But no. ”

The old man looked into the distance, and as he spoke, he paused,

“...... When I saw her, although she was still neatly combed and dressed neatly as before, her hair was gray, the skin under her sleeves was saggy, and she was old...... Me too...... It's like a photo studio on that street, like a teahouse, and a bean curd vendor who walks down the street with a burden......

It turns out that so much time has passed. ”

As he spoke, the old man fell silent again,

Slowly raised his trembling hand, lowered his head, and the old man laboriously took the photo he was holding tightly in his hand to his eyes, and looked at it with some distraction,

Lian Ge followed the old man's line of sight and also glanced at the photo,

The black-and-white photo has faded a little, and I can barely see two figures, a young man in a tunic and a girl in a white skirt.

The young man was facing the front, and the girl gently cushioned her feet, tilted her head, and looked at the young man,

“...... I don't think I waited for her, maybe at first, but then, slowly, it wasn't. ”

The old man gently rubbed the photo and said with difficulty,

“...... I was waiting for a dream, and in the dream, there was a girl in a white dress waiting for me at the entrance of the vegetable market. When I was in Silla, when there was a lot of artillery, it was the best thing for me......"

As he spoke, his voice became quieter, and the old man slowly lowered his head, and the hand holding the photo gradually drooped.

Next to the wheelchair, the female ghost cha raised her hand, wanting to force the old man to stay again, but then, the female ghost cha paused again,

Putting down her hand, the female ghost cha just squatted down and picked up the photo that fell on the ground again, and after looking at it, the female ghost cha put the photo back into the old man's hand.

When the female ghost cha stood up again, her head hung down, and the old man who was leaning on the side of the wheelchair, the soul in her body gradually detached from her body.

......

After a short period of confusion, color reappeared in the old man's eyes,

Lowering his head, he looked at the body leaning on the back of the wheelchair chair, and the photo in his hand, the old man paused slightly,

Raising his head, the old man saw it, and was smiling slightly, looking at his Lian Ge,

"Young man, you ......"

"Old friend, remember me?"

At this moment, the female ghost who was standing behind the old man called softly,

Hearing the sound, the old man slowly turned his head,

Looking at the female ghost who was surrounded by the ghostly aura of the forest, the old man's eyes suddenly became a little trance, as if he had been churning out a memory for a long time,

"Remember, remember...... How can you not remember," the old man replied, nodding,

The female ghost looked at the old man with a smile on her face,

“...... After all these years, you haven't changed. ”

Looking at the female ghost, the old man seemed to have returned to the years a long time ago, and after saying a word, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

......

"You're ...... now"

"The ghost of the underworld is poor. ”

Listening to the female ghost's answer, the old man paused, then turned his head to look at the wheelchair, his body, the blood marks on his body and the blurred flesh on the top of his head, although it was covered by his coat and hat, but it was still there,

"Before...... You're the one who helped me ......."

"It's me. The female ghost smiled and replied.

"Actually, you don't have to ......" The old man looked at the female ghost and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

"Don't thank me......"

The female ghost shook her head, lowered her head, and looked at the photo held in the hand of the old man's body next to her.

"Once upon a time, it was my best thing, but on the battlefield, it was something completely different,"

Smiling, the female ghost said.

When the old man heard this, he was silent and nodded.

......

"And now, you're here to take me away?" the old man asked aloud as he looked at the female ghost,

Hearing this, the female ghost did not answer, but turned her eyes and looked at Lian Ge.

Seeing this, the old man also turned his head and cast his gaze at Lian Ge.

Looking at the gazes cast by the two, Lian Ge paused, and looked at the female ghost,

"Huo Siguo and Gan Huishuang have already met...... I wonder if you've waited until you want to get something?"

"Returning to the Heavenly Master, I think I have to wait for something, but in fact, I have already waited for ......"

As she spoke, the female ghost had a smile on her face, turned her gaze, and looked at the quiet street,

At this time, a couple snuggled up to the side of the street, talking, slowly walked by,

Looking at the couple road, the female ghost smiled and withdrew her gaze,

Also glanced at the quiet street, Lian Ge looked at the female ghost again and smiled,

"You give the old man one last ride. As for your affairs, leave it to the underworld,"

"The little ghost thanked the Heavenly Master. The female ghost heard the voice, bowed down and said respectfully to Lian Ge,

"Old friend, let's go. The female ghost turned her head, looked at the old man with a smile and said,

The old man nodded and looked at Lian Ge,

“...... Thank you, lad. ”

Nodding, Lian Ge watched the old man and the female ghost disappear from sight, then looked at the body around him and the old man's body, and looked at the photo that the old man was holding in his hand,

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked into the distance.

......

“...... Old man, old man......"

Standing a little farther away, the nursing staff who hadn't heard movement for a long time couldn't help but call twice, and after not hearing a response, they hurriedly approached.

I only saw it, hanging my head, clutching the photo, and the old man who was dead.

......

"Buzz...... Steady, steady. ”

Walking towards the night, Lian Ge took out his mobile phone from his pocket, connected the phone, and continued walking.

“...... Lian Ge, what's wrong with that old man? ”

Gu Xiaoying's curious voice came out of the phone,

"He's waiting for someone......"

Lian Ge smiled slightly, and said to Gu Xiaoying simply,

With the sound of words, Lian Ge walked out of the secluded street again, and walked to the lively square, beside the street,

......

“...... That Lian Ge, will that female ghost be severely punished after she goes to the underworld?" After listening to Lian Ge's narration, Gu Xiaoying couldn't help but ask,

“...... Although the law is strict, it is also tolerant, but the law is the law after all. Lian Ge looked at the front side and replied,

"Then, what is that female ghost waiting for?" Gu Xiaoying responded, and then couldn't help but wonder again,

"She's waiting for ......"

As he spoke, Lian Ge raised his head slightly and looked at the bustling city in front of him,

"A place where there is no war, no noise of artillery, no separation for couples, no reuniting of loved ones, and peace for people. ”

......

"Daddy, I'm going to eat this...... Okay, Daddy bought it for you. ”

"Mom, I'm back, I'm already on my way, I'll be there soon......"

"Baby, did you listen to the teacher obediently in the kindergarten today? ”

“...... Let's go, let's go home. ”

"Wife, it's so beautiful in the square tonight, let's take a picture......"
