When I returned to Guojia Village, Rong Rong sat alone at the entrance of the village, covering his face with his hands and sobbing incessantly.

I've seen a lot of people sad and I've seen a lot of people cry.

Mortals always have too many sad things, too many things to tear about.

The joys and sorrows of mortals, like the storms of the previous days, always come and go suddenly.

I walked over, crouched down, and asked, "Rongrong, what's wrong with you?"

She raised her head and saw that it was me, and she cried even more, crying and saying, "Uncle, you are back." I... My mother is so sick, all... They all said that she couldn't live......"

I patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, Mrs. Su has not been in good health since a few years ago, and now it has come to this point. Birth, old age, sickness and death are really creative and tricky.

"Rong Rong don't cry, take your uncle to see your mother, maybe it's not as bad as you think. ”

Rong Rong nodded with tears.

When she walked into the room, Mrs. Su was sitting at the head of the bed. Daji stayed by her side, holding her hand.

When he saw me come back, he looked at me with a sad face and grabbed me with his other hand.

I let her pull.

When Mrs. Su saw Rong Rong coming back, she forced out a smile.

said: "Rongrong, where did you go, come here, my mother has something to explain to you." ”

Rong Rong walked over obediently and hugged her.

Mrs. Su continued: "I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to survive today, you have to take care of yourself in the future, you have always been sensible, but after all, you are a woman, you are left alone, you must live well." ”

Rong held back her tears and nodded at her mother.

Mrs. Su turned her head again and said to me and Daji: "Brother Wu Qixian, and Sister Su, my sister is about to go, don't worry, can you take care of her on my behalf?"

Daji held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, don't worry, Rongrong will be my daughter in the future, I will take good care of her, sister, you... Don't worry. ”

I squeezed Daji's hand and comforted her. Even though he has been dead for more than 800 years, he is still so sentimental.

"Mrs. Su, rest assured, we will take care of Rong Rong, as my wife said, Rong Rong will be our daughter in the future. ”

Mrs. Su patted Rong Rong's head and said with a smile: "Rong Rong, go and kowtow to your godfather and godmother, they will be your parents in the future." ”

Rong Rong stood up silently, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to me and Daji three times.

I did not hinder her, but when I received her great gift, I ended the cause and effect of this life, and I accepted the cause of her mother and daughter, and I will naturally repay them the result.

Mrs. Su said with confidence: "Now I can rest assured, I can't repay the great kindness of your husband and wife, and I will pay it back as a cow and horse in the next life." ”

Daji looked at her and said, "Sister, you... You can rest assured. ”

Mrs. Su nodded and said, "Rongrong, come over and let my mother hug you again." ”

Rong Rong walked over, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, one smiling, the other bowing her head and sobbing. The sorrow between life and death was infinitely magnified at this moment, and the breath of parting filled the entire house.

Daji stood up, leaned on my shoulder, and looked at the mother and son in silence.

The land here has been guarded outside the door, he will take Mrs. Su's soul away and send it to Du City, and the city god of Du City will send Mrs. Su to the underworld, this time, it is Yin and Yang are forever separated.

I said to Daji: "You can accompany Rongrong's mother and son to talk, see off Mrs. Su, and I'll go out to have a look." ”

Daji knew what I meant, and went to fix Mrs. Su's makeup.

The land here is a thin, short old man, who visited me when I first moved here, and now sees me in the house, and does not dare to come in, but waits outside the door.

I said to him, "Where is Mrs. Su's origin, and do you still have relatives in her hometown?"

The land worshipped: "Lord Huiyu, Su's original hometown is Dingtao, she is originally a daughter of an official family, she was implicated in the Peng Yue case, and she has no relatives and friends in her hometown. ”

I nodded and said, "I know, Su Shi and I have some cause and effect, I will personally send her to the underworld, you can go back." ”

The land arched its hand and turned away.

The separation of mother and daughter in the house has also reached the last moment.

Rong Rong was shouting loudly for his mother.

Daji hugged Rong Rong and comforted her softly. Mrs. Su's soul detached from her body, and with a smile, she looked at her daughter silently.

Su's life is not so magnificent, but compared with ordinary people, there are still many ups and downs. was originally a housekeeper girl, married in a military attache family, but she was affected by the family and fell down, and lived a strong life in the downfall, raising her daughter, and not bowing to life.

There are many such women in the world, and what distinguishes Mrs. Su from others is that she met me and Daji. The emperor and general asked to see the fairy face but couldn't, but I was entrusted by her to take care of her daughter on her behalf, which can be regarded as her fate in this life.

I looked at her and pointed out the door.

She looked at me quizzically, and I nodded.

Mrs. Su was shocked by all this, and in her mind, Daji and I were just an ordinary couple, how could we see ghosts.

Walking into the courtyard, I said, "Madame, don't be surprised, I am not a citizen of the world, but a guest from outside the world. ”

Mrs. Su calmed down a little and asked, "Brother Wu Xian, you... Who the hell are you?"

I said, "I am the Nine Yamas of the underworld, and I have come here to comprehend the truth of the world and help me in my cultivation. ”

Mrs. Su was surprised: "That... And your wife?"

I laughed and said, "She's not my wife, she's a clerk from the underworld, and she's here with me." ”

Without waiting for her to speak, I said, "Madame, don't worry, we will take care of Rongrong, and you will meet in the future in the underworld." ”

Mrs. Su said: "I never thought that the gods would be in my family and become my daughter's father-in-law." ”

I said: "The truth of the world is mysterious, there are always many things that cannot be solved, and your mother and daughter have a lot of fate with me." ”

Mrs. Su asked again, "Wu... My lord, am I going to the underworld? I... Can I stay with Rong Rong for a few days?"

I said: "There is a difference between life and death, of course I can allow you to stay for a few more days, but it is difficult to give up, and in the end, don't be nostalgic." ”

Mrs. Su lowered her head and said, "I know, but I am a little reluctant to tolerate it." ”

I told her a few more words, asking her not to leave too far to avoid accidents.

Only then did he enter the house again and discuss with Daji the arrangements for Mrs. Su's funeral.

Rong Rong didn't know that her mother's soul was guarding her, but she just hugged Mrs. Su's body and couldn't stop crying.

Daji comforted her for a long time, but she couldn't dissuade her. I had to keep caressing her back, Mrs. Su's soul was also doing the same as Daji, even if her daughter couldn't feel it, she hoped to be closer to her again.

I went to Guo Lao Er and asked him to report the news of Mrs. Su's death to the lieutenant chief. drove the ox cart to Ducheng again, Mrs. Su died suddenly, and a coffin had to be prepared for her.

The old scalper was about to die, pulling the coffin step by step. The coffin chosen was very simple, just an extremely ordinary fir wood, weighing only a few hundred catties.

The old scalper is also my old buddy, since I arrived in Guojia Village, it has accompanied me to work, and after all these years, it has also worked hard.

Old cattle have some spirituality, and many animals have some spirituality, and their wisdom is limited, so they are compensated spiritually.

Old scalpers are among them who are more compensated.

In my family, I have always worked honestly, lived a dull and hard life, and never made trouble. At this moment, he was pulling a coffin, and he was also a little sad, and his huge eyes were full of tears.

I said while driving the car: "Old scalper, you and I are destined, you work hard for me in this life, and you can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and you will be reincarnated into a good family in the next life!"

Passers-by laughed at me for being stupid and said, "What are you a man, do you work for you or do good deeds?"

"That's, that's it, you should be an old scalper for it in the next life!"

I didn't pay attention to the passers-by, just drove the ox cart and walked slowly.

Mrs. Su watched herself being put into a coffin, and it was really rare to see the ghost she was buried.

The funeral was very simple, and only the neighbors of Guojia Village came to the funeral. The farmers are very simple, and if you live here and are kind to them, then you are your own person.

Mrs. Su came to Guojia Village for a long time, although she has never told anyone about her origins, she is also generous, and her appearance is well-behaved and cute, and her relationship with her neighbors has always been very good.

Rong Rong wore filial piety clothes, tied a white turban, held Mrs. Su's spiritual seat, and walked at the front of the team.

Several young men carried the coffin for Mrs. Su, and the old and young followed behind the coffin to see her off.

Every time you take a step, someone will shout "The soul is back!"

Mrs. Su's soul naturally will not return, her soul has not left, so how can she return.

Mrs. Su looked at her burial with a smile, and many villagers came to see her off, which surprised her.

It also made her feel at ease again, with the support of so many villagers, she will not be too lonely in the future.

Rong Rong made a lot of caramel with Daji, a craft she learned from her mother. They went door to door to thank them for their help at the funeral.

Daji has recently lived with Rongrong in her house, and I want to build another room in the courtyard.

Can't let Rong Rong live by himself, a fifteen-year-old child can't take good care of himself, and a woman living alone will inevitably cause criticism. The simplicity of the farmers is simple, and there will still be a lot of gossip.

It's the first time I've done it myself. In Difu, the house in Yanjun Village was built with the help of the boss, the small building in Huaicheng was the credit of Ji Dan and the engineering team, and the house in Guojia Village was also built with the help of the villagers.

I deliberately found a few craftsmen and asked some questions that should be paid attention to.

With the old scalper, I went to Ducheng to buy several truckloads of bricks, all of which were stacked in the yard.

And mud when Mrs. Su came to find me.

"My lord, I think it's time for me to go. ”

I looked at her in amazement and asked, "Why did you want to leave?" I thought you'd stay longer. ”

Mrs. Su said: "Life and death are already separated, I am satisfied to be able to accompany Rong Rong for a few more days, and I can also relax with adults and neighbors to take care of me." Besides, sooner or later, you have to leave, so why stay longer. ”

I nodded and said, "You are a wise man, I have checked the list of the underworld in the past few days, your parents, in-laws and husband have not yet been reincarnated, and now they are all farming in the underworld. ”

Mrs. Su bowed and said, "Thank you, my lordship, I can't repay it." ”

I smiled and said: "What's the grace or not, although the underworld doesn't recognize the relationship between the world, it also hopes that the ghosts with affection and righteousness will get together with relatives and friends in the underworld, these are just the proper meaning." ”

Mrs. Su bowed again and again, and I struck a few strokes on the courtyard wall, turning into a portal.

Fusu was waiting behind the door, Liu Ying followed behind him, and the relationship between them was very good, perhaps because of some similarities.

Lady Su's relatives and friends all live near Huaicheng, and Fusu will take her there.

Fusu and Liu Ying bowed down, and Fusu said: "Your Majesty, I have notified the relatives of the Su family, and I am now waiting at home. ”

I nodded, "Well, how is the underworld now?"

Fusu said: "Lord Yuding temporarily takes over the position of the king, and everything in the underworld is stable." The Five Yamas have completed the integration of the boundaries between the prefectures, and my father is leading a group of soldiers and civilians to reclaim the land. ”

I smiled and said, "Lao Ying really likes two things, except for the word ploughing and fighting, there is nothing else." ”

Fusu also smiled: "Father does love farming. ”

I asked Liu Ying again, "How is your life in the underworld?"

Liu Ying was a little sad and indignant, and said: "I have a good life in the underworld, and the prince of Fusu treats me like a brother." But he always bothered my father, and he always asked me to help him do this and that. ”

I smiled and said, "Liu Bang is indeed a scoundrel, if you don't want to pay attention to it, just ignore him." ”

Liu Ying nodded.

I said to Mrs. Su again: "These two people are Fusu, the eldest son of the former Qin Dynasty, and Liu Ying, the filial piety emperor of the current dynasty, and now they are the chief lieutenants of the prefecture and a prefecture. Go with them, and if anything happens, go to them for help. ”

Mrs. Su was shocked by the identities of the two, hurriedly calmed down, and bowed: "The Su family visits Prince Fusu and His Majesty Xiaohui." ”

Fusu waved his hand and said: "All kinds of things in the world, once I die, I am only an official of the underworld now, not the eldest son of Daqin." ”

Liu Ying also said: "I'm not a majesty, I'm just a ghost in the underworld." ”

I picked up Mrs. Su and sent her through the door and her soul back to the underworld.

Fusu and Liu Ying took Mrs. Su away, and after decades of hard work, this woman can reunite with her relatives in another world. There is only one tolerance left in the world, and there is only one tolerance.

A long-lost feeling called loneliness hit me, and I hadn't felt it in more than 3,000 years. It's not mine, it's tolerant, but I can feel it, because I've experienced it too.

In that kind of world, only one's own feelings are left. Wandering, lonely, helpless.....

At that time, I was like a send-off, farewell to relatives, parents, friends, and fellow travelers. When I sent off the last friend, I looked back again, the world was big, but there was no trace of contact, Hongchen was in love, and there was no trace of fetters.

I always remember the day the Boss came to find me, it was the thirty-third year that I stopped before the reincarnation of the underworld.

The boss said to me, "What are your plans for the future?"

I said, "I don't have any plans." ”

The boss said, "Why don't you stay in the underworld, the underworld is short of manpower!"

I looked at the fat man, who was a little round, and nodded.

Since then, there has been one less cultivator in the world, and there is one more Nine Yan Monarch in the underworld.

After all, Rongrong is better than me at that time, she still has me and Daji, as well as friends and playmates in the village, and she will have her own husband and children in the future.

She won't feel lonely forever, and she won't be lonely forever.

I thought of Daji again, she has been dead for more than 800 years, except for the time when she was with Bo Yi Kao at the beginning, she was also very lonely. Su Hu and Su Quanzhong died in battle during the Fengshen period, and did not go down to the underworld, but stayed in the Fengshen Platform. When he was a god, he was named the East Dipper Star Officer and the Broken Army Star Monarch, and he traveled in the heavens and stars every day, but he visited his daughter and sister from the future underworld.

The gods who came out of the gods were all more indifferent than the previous immortals, this is not a way of forgetfulness, but more like a ruthless way. Although the gods are also like the ghosts of the underworld, regardless of fathers, sons, relatives and friends, they are not so indifferent.

Daji always likes to drink, likes to get herself drunk, maybe it has something to do with it, it's not that she doesn't have relatives, it's just that her relatives don't miss her anymore, that feeling of being abandoned, it must be uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I wanted to drink with her, the kind of wine that got drunk.
