“...... Okay. ”

The old man carrying the bean curd bucket answered, and uncovered the top half of the wooden lid of the barrel.

The barrel is deep, and there is a partition embedded in the upper position, on which are some seasonings, and under the partition is a clay jar sealed with a cloth ball.

The old man selling bean curd took off a disposable plastic bowl from another partition, picked up an iron spoon, removed the cloth ball from the clay jar, and scooped some steaming bean curd from the clay jar with an iron spoon and put it into the bowl.

And with his hands and feet he took the seasoning and condiments on the partition, and added them,

"Give. ”

The vendor took a disposable spoon, put it in the bowl, took the bean curd, and handed it to Lian Ge.

"How much?"

"Four pieces. The old man who sold bean curd replied with a smile,

“...... There shouldn't be many people like you who sell bean curd with a burden like you now, right?"

Lian Ge took out a piece of money from his pocket, handed it to the old man who sold bean curd, and said loudly,

“...... Hey, it's still a big ticket. The old man who sold bean curd took the money, smiled and responded, "I just came out every once in a while, and when I am old, I can't bear the burden, and my children won't let me...... It's just that I can't be idle, and I still want to go out for a walk with my burden when I'm free...... To give. ”

As he spoke, the old man who sold bean curd handed the change to Lian Ge, then walked back to the burden, covered the wooden lid on the barrel, picked up the burden, and gradually moved away into the distance.

......

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the old man in a wheelchair,

Since just now, the old man has been silent, staring at the vendor selling bean curd in the distance, and his cloudy eyes are in a trance, as if he has fallen into a memory.

“...... Old man, I've listened to you for so long, please eat a bowl of bean curd. Lian Ge looked at the old man, said with a smile, and handed the bowl of bean curd in his hand to the old man in the wheelchair.

When the old man heard the sound, his eyes turned back from a distance, and he looked at Lian Ge,

Looking at Lian Ge, the old man paused, and then looked at the bean curd handed over by Lian Ge,

Raising his trembling hands, the old man trembled a little and held the bean curd bowl and took it.

......

Holding it in his hand, trembling slightly, the old man lowered his head, looked at the bean curd in the bowl with some distraction, and was silent,

“...... Except for this bowl and spoon, this bowl of bean curd still looks the same as before. ”

The old man withdrew his gaze and raised his head,

"Don't you taste the old man?" Lian Ge looked at the street in front of him and said in a calm tone,

"No, I won't eat...... Don't eat ......."

The old man looked at the bean curd in his hand again, and shook his head,

"Eat, young man. ”

As he spoke, the old man trembled, holding the bean curd bowl, and handed it to Lian Ge again,

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge took it with both hands,

I didn't eat it, I just held it.

The old man turned his head and looked at the street in front of him again.

......

“...... In the past two days, I can't help but want to come here again...... I don't know if I'm waiting for her. ”

The old man looked into the distance, paused, and shook his head slightly,

“...... It's just that...... Can't wait, can't wait......"

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge didn't say anything more.

And at this moment,

“...... Old man, old man......"

In the distance, a somewhat eager voice came from far and near, and a middle-aged woman trotted from a distance and ran over,

“...... Old Man Huo, why are you here again. ”

When the middle-aged woman saw the figure of the old man, she relieved herself, walked closer, and said with some reproach,

“...... Sorry for the trouble. The old man turned his head, looked at the middle-aged woman, and said, "I just want to come here." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's just that your silent figure here is gone, and I'm so scared that the little girl who just came here is about to cry, and as soon as I guess you're here, I'll hurry to find it." ”

When the middle-aged woman heard the old man's words, her tone softened,

"Next time you want to come here, I'll push you over, and you can stay as long as you want...... Would you like to sit a little longer, old man? I'm here with you. ”

"Don't wait, don't wait......" The old man shook his head and withdrew his gaze from a distance,

"Then let's go back?" Old Man Yan is still waiting for you to go back to eat in the courtyard. ”

"Let's go. The old man nodded, replied, turned his head again, and glanced at Lian Ge, "Young man, thank you, I'll leave first after listening to me talk about the old past for so long." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man and nodded with a smile.

The middle-aged woman also gestured slightly to Lian Ge,

Immediately after, he pushed the old man and gradually walked away.

......

“...... Old man Huo, today the kitchen has specially made you the ball soup you like to eat, your appetite has not been very good in the past two days, you must eat more tonight. ”

“...... By the way, Mr. Huo, did you go to the toilet today? You didn't go to the toilet yesterday, don't be constipated, or I'll find a doctor to come and take a look at you. ”

The voice faded away with the figure.

......

Watching the old man disappear from sight, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, and the smile on his face gradually converged,

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the figure on the side that was surrounded by yin qi, a ghostly aura, but a little loose soul,

After glancing, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, and while walking towards the shade of the trees next to the square, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and after saying hello to Gu Xiaoying, he ended the call.

The figure that lingered with Sensen's ghostly aura also silently followed Lian Ge and walked to the side step by step.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Lian Ge also walked to a bench under the shade of the trees,

It was already night, under the shade of the trees, it was a little dark, and there was no other figure in sight, and it seemed very quiet.

Turning around, Lian Ge looked at the figure that followed,

Looking at its lingering ghostly aura, but unstable soul, looking at the black formal dress it was wearing, Lian Ge said in a calm tone,

“...... According to the rules of the prefecture, it should be against the laws of the prefecture to force the deceased to remain, right?"

"Heavenly Master Mingjian, according to the laws of the underworld, if there is no way to order, privately hinder the cycle of life and death, force the deceased to stay, press down the bottom hell, and be punished by a thousand swords for a hundred years...... As a ghost...... Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is added to the first degree. ”

The female voice sounded, and standing in front of Lian Ge was a female ghost in a black suit, who was bowing down and saying respectfully to Lian Ge at this moment, and a trace of pain flashed on her face as she spoke.

“...... Moreover, if the deceased is left behind by the Yin Difference, it is necessary to maintain the soul locking technique with Yin Qi, so as to prevent the deceased from losing his soul and being rejected by the body and detached from the body, the longer the time, the more Yin Qi mana is consumed.

When the yin power is exhausted, it can only be made up for by the origin, and when the source is exhausted, it is the time when the yin karma is exhausted and the soul is scattered. ”

Glancing at the female ghost with a loose soul, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked into the distance and said,

"Look at the degree of decay of that old man's body, and then look at the degree of dissipation of your soul body, it's been almost a week, right?"

"Heavenly Master Clearing!"

The female ghost bowed down more and more, and answered,

Immediately after, the female ghost almost went straight down, knelt in front of Lian Ge, and touched the ground with her head,

“...... Heavenly Master is merciful, the little ghost violates the laws of the underworld, and is willing to be punished, but he also asks the Heavenly Master to be merciful and let Huo Siguo continue to wait. ”

As she spoke, the female ghost kowtowed and pleaded,

"The Heavenly Master is merciful, and I hope that the Heavenly Master will be merciful......

"It's not you who he's waiting for, right?"

Lian Ge glanced at the female ghost who was crawling on the ground, retracted his gaze, and asked calmly.

"It's not. The female ghost shook her head in response.

Hearing this, Lian Ge paused, turned his gaze and looked into the distance,

"The decay of his body is almost at the limit, and even if his soul does not leave his body, he will not be able to wait long...... In other words, his body was rotting. ”

"It won't take long, a few days, a few more days...... Please also ask the Heavenly Master to be gracious. ”

The female ghost knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly,
