Chapter 39: Garrison Lookout

Xiaomeng took one of my hands off her shoulder, and my fingers were pinched with both hands as if they were playing: "The lame uncle said that he often goes to the lookout platform to look at his hometown and relatives, and he has seen a woman who is suspected of being your wife. Everyone else went up to the lookout to catch a look, at best, they stopped and lingered for a while, but the woman who seemed to be your wife took the lookout as her home, and stayed on it all day long and refused to come down.

The uncle said that she had asked the woman, why don't you hurry down and drink Meng Po soup and be reincarnated, maybe you can meet your husband, children or other relatives. The woman said, what's the use, I drank Meng Po soup, I don't remember anything, even if I stand next to my husband, he doesn't know who I am, I don't know that he is my beloved, we can't recognize each other, what's the point?

Uncle saw that other souls of the dead were flowing like flowing water, and the river was endless, only the woman who was suspected of being your wife stuck there like a pillar of scenery, and kindly persuaded her to say that when people die, yin and yang are separated, and your infatuation and your lover can no longer perceive it, and you can't share the suffering of your lover, so why can't you think about it, it is the best choice to let go of everything and start a new reincarnation.

But the woman said that she left too suddenly, sorry for her husband, said that she would grow old together, and vowed not to give up, and now she has no promise, her husband must be very sad, very worried that her husband's life will be a mess if she is not there, how can she have the heart to drink Meng Po soup and only care about her own reincarnation and live her own life?"

"And then?"

"I don't know how long it has been, but when the uncle went up to Wangxiangtai again, the woman was no longer there, and I didn't know where she went. ”

"Where is that uncle? Why didn't he go to reincarnate himself?"

"There are those who want to be reincarnated, and there are also those who are heartbroken and unwilling to get involved in the grievances of the world, so we don't care about it. Let's discuss what to do, shall we?"

"Xiaomeng, I've really worked hard for you, I want to go to the Wangxiang Platform first. "Imagining the miserable figure of the person who is suspected of being his wife described by the lame uncle on the lookout platform, I feel very uncomfortable.

"People are long gone, what else are you looking at?"

"It's fine, I just want to go up and take a look, to see where the man who looks like my wife used to be stationed there and watch me. ”

On the way to Wangxiangtai, I met the old ghost again, sitting on the old chair in the old place, pulling the cigarette butt on the ground with one foot, I don't know if he was counting and playing, or using the cigarette butt as a chess piece to play chess with himself.

"Old ghost, no wonder you don't want to be reincarnated, life is really leisurely. "I'm familiar with the old ghost, and occasionally tease him.

"I'm not as unenlightened as you, I can think about everything, it's just like being a man and a ghost, I understand it, it's easy, how can I be like you, for a dead person, I made myself a ghost and a ghost, so why bother?"

Zi is not a fish, you know the joy of fish, you know the joy of fish, and you know the pain of fish?

I'm not on the same path as the old ghost, so I can't talk about it together, so I can only hehe twice and prepare to leave with Xiaomeng.

"Hey, wait!" the old ghost shouted behind us.

"Don't you tell me what kind of bastard you are?" I stopped, turned my head and waited for him.

"Gang Li seems to be depressed lately, probably because he was warned. But I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about you, you!" the old ghost pointed at me and Xiaomeng at the same time.

"We?" I looked at Xiaomeng and looked at myself: "What are you talking about us?"

"I'm kind enough to tell you, there's already a lot of gossip, saying that the two of you, a soul in the yang world, ran to the underworld to hook up with the female ghost of the underworld, and some people think it's corrupting customs, aren't you afraid that your wife will see it in any corner, or the gossip will reach her ears?"

I originally had scruples about Xiaomeng's actions, but I didn't expect someone to gossip.

I subconsciously distanced myself from Xiaomeng: "It's just nonsense, there is nothing between me and Xiaomeng, just good friends." ”

"Whatever they like to say, go with them, ignore those and go!" Xiaomeng urged me to leave quickly.

I threw the old ghost a pack of cigarettes, and I couldn't tell if it was to thank him for his kind reminder or the pity that had always haunted me.

Different identities, different rights.

It is said that I can see my hometown and my relatives on the Wangxiang Terrace, but I can't see anything when I climb the Wangxiang Terrace.

"You are a living soul, there is a difference between you and us, even if we are eternal souls after a certain period of time, we will not see anything to my relatives in my previous life. ”

No wonder the man who suspected his wife was not on the lookout platform later.

I walked back and forth countless times on the Wangxiang Terrace, always hoping to find some clues to prove that the person was my wife, until Xiaomeng reminded me softly: "It's almost, let's go down." ”

"Any other information?"

Another person said that the woman seemed to have gone to the other side to work as a coolie, a gardener, and a sanitation worker, but she couldn't remember when she suddenly disappeared, and she didn't know where she went. ”

I was extremely disappointed, all the clues had no beginning and no end, starting with hope and ending with disappointment.

Xiaomeng is also kind enough to help inquire about the news, I can't say that it is worthless, at least if the woman who worked as a gardener is the soul of his wife, it can be regarded as a new clue.

"Xiaomeng has really worked hard for you, I'm afraid I have to go to Meng Po for this matter. "I haven't forgotten Uncle Niu's words when I entered the ghost gate.

"Ah!?I'm still looking for Meng Po, she's angry at us, and I'll go to her to find any good fruit to eat!"

It's inconvenient for me to tell Uncle Niu about Xiaomeng's hints, but I just said, "There's no other way, you also found out, Meng Po's reaction is quite abnormal, and we have to break through from her." ”

Xiaomeng and I came to the bridge of Naihe, and watched Meng Po scoop up Meng Po soup one by one and give it to the souls who would not know what the love and hate of the previous life was, and hesitated for a long time and did not dare to step forward.

If my wife really drank Meng Po soup and was reincarnated like these dead souls, my daughter and I, every bit of my wife and I when we were alive would be written off with her, and my wife would never have me and my daughter in her heart again, and she would never think of us again, and there would never be such a woman who cared about me and my daughter's warmth and sorrows.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel infinite desolation.

Even if I can't see my wife, I just keep looking for it, as long as I don't tell my wife that she has drunk Meng Po soup, I can still have that thought and keep a hope, even if it is a delusion after all, but it can support me to move forward and comfort my loneliness.

I complained in my heart that this Granny Meng was so principled, she didn't know how to be flexible, and even said some unpleasant things in private, but she still didn't dare to offend her on the surface.

Xiaomeng suggested that it might be better for them to write a report letter, saying that she had embezzled the property of the ghost people, and asked Lord Yama to remove her from her post and change her.

Xiaomeng's suggestion was categorically rejected by me, she saw me glaring at her with stern eyes, embarrassed, and muttered: "I just said it casually, who would really do that kind of immoral thing." ”
