Chapter 67: Trouble Again
I'm not sure if it will work, but after a few days of burning a lot of things for Meng Po, I told Xinya to leave me alone and decided to go down there again.
What surprised me was that I met Xiaomeng at the door as soon as I went out in the middle of the night.
"Xiaomeng?!Why are you here?Where have you been all these days?I've been looking for you everywhere, you know, how are you?" I don't know how I was so excited to suddenly meet Xiaomeng, who had been missing for almost a year.
Xiaomeng is different from when I went down to see her in the past, and I didn't have the joy of being reunited after a long absence.
"I'm fine. Xiaomeng just replied lightly, not even a simple greeting from an old friend meeting.
"Where the hell have you been? If you weren't there, Meng Po's line would be broken, and she wouldn't have answered me at all. "After all, I still couldn't hide my vulnerability and helplessness.
"You don't care where I went, you got into trouble, you know, who asked you to send so many valuables to Meng Po, you hurt Meng Po!" Xiao Meng pulled me and ran towards the ghost gate.
How could it be?
"What's the matter? Those things are just symbolic things, they are not worth a few dollars, how can they be valuable, how can they harm Meng Po?"
"It's worthless in the underworld, it's equivalent to a pile of waste paper, but it's different in the underworld, it's a huge amount of property. ”
When I arrived at the Ghost Gate, Uncle Niu saw me, and he didn't ask me if I hadn't been here for a long time like before, but just glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and shook my pass twice in front of me: "You can be careful that this thing won't be used again." ”
I felt that the atmosphere was indeed a little wrong, and I looked at Uncle Niu in confusion and wanted to ask him what he meant, Xiaomeng pulled me up: "Let's go, let's go quickly!"
"Where are you going?"
"Find Meng Po to apologize!"
I remembered what Xiaomeng said just now that I had hurt Meng Po: "What's wrong?"
Xiaomeng stopped and glared at me and said, "It's all a good thing you did." Some people reported that the source of Meng Po's huge wealth was unknown. ”
Suddenly, I felt funny in my heart: It turns out that this is also counted! No wonder Xiaomeng said that those things are worthless in the yang world, and they belong to huge assets in the underworld.
When we came to the bridge, we found that the team of dead souls had thrown out hundreds of meters, and when we passed through the middle of these dead souls, some people were unhappy and scolded us: "What are you squeezing, what are you squeezing, who is not in a hurry to reincarnate as soon as possible, what is the use of Meng Po not squeezing?"
I couldn't care about it so much, Xiaomeng and I squeezed to the front, Meng Po was really not there, and I didn't see anyone serving Meng Po soup to these queuing souls, no wonder the line was so long.
"Where has Meng Po gone?" Xiao Meng asked the few souls at the front of the line.
"Meng Po was reported that she had taken bribes. ”
Some added: "Meng Po was taken away for investigation." ”
Xiaomeng and I were stunned and had no idea.
"What should I do, I sent the thing, Meng Po was harmed by me, and the bell must be tied to the bell, shall I explain the situation?"
Xiaomeng looked up at the sky, and it turned out that it had already begun to rain.
"I don't know which department took it away, who to look for?"
The rain came very hard, and Xiaomeng and I were soon drenched in soup. The rain was so loud that Xiaomeng had to pull her voice and say, "Let's go and ask Uncle Niu." ”
After running a few steps, I found an old lady who was also drenched, with no intention of avoiding at all, and was very resolute in the face of the torrential rain and strong winds.
I couldn't help but take a second look, and this time I found that it was a little familiar, and last time she said that there were some clues about his wife or something, because she didn't stop to listen to her in detail.
"Old lady, why don't you find a place to shelter from the rain?" I shouted to the old lady.
The old lady didn't answer me directly, but asked me, "Has your wife found it?"
"No, I don't. Did you last say you had news of my wife?"
"Let's go up there!" The old lady pointed to a dilapidated house not far away and shouted at me.
Standing under the eaves of a broken house, although the lower half of the body still can't avoid the flying rain line, the upper body can still be spared.
"I'll give you a clue, is there a bit of a reward?" the old lady wiped the rain from her face.
"Yes. ”
I think the old lady is very pitiful, politely asked her why not to reincarnate, the old lady said that she has a granddaughter, alone in the orphanage of the sun, in poor health, she is really relieved and can't help, but you can sneak a look at whether anyone bullies her, if you are reincarnated, you can't see your granddaughter, and your heart is not steady.
"I was joking when I asked you for a reward. The old lady became serious: "But I really have a request, you go up to see my granddaughter for me after you go up, just say that I asked you to see her in a dream, just say that grandma has been thinking about her, let her listen to the aunts in the orphanage, pay attention to safety, grandma will bless her." ”
This old lady would rather give up the opportunity to be reincarnated and become a lonely soul in order to rest assured that she would not be relieved of her lonely granddaughter.
I closed my eyes as hard as I swallowed, trying to hold something back, and promised:
"No problem, I'll go see her for you. ”
"There's a woman on the other side," said the old lady, after thanking me for my commitment, and pointing to the other side of the Lechuan River, "she has always been there to take care of the flowers on the other side, and has never spoken to outsiders, and has never let anyone see her face, but in my opinion it is your wife." ”
"Where, where?" I had gone down so many times, and it was the first time I had heard such a definite news about my wife, and I trembled with excitement.
"On the opposite shore. ”
The rain was so heavy that I couldn't see the other side clearly.
"Where?" I asked, my eyes wide as I searched across the Lethe River.
Through the mist of rain and fog, there was indeed a person on the other side wearing a raincoat, as if he was straightening out the flowers on the other side that had been smashed by the rainstorm. I was so excited that I couldn't help myself: Wife, I have been looking for you so hard, and I have finally found you!
"Wife, wife, I'm here, I've come to see you, look back at me, look at me to see you!" I shouted hoarsely to the man on the other side.
Xiaomeng looked for my arm in the back, I shook her off and continued to shout:
"Wife, do you know, I've been looking for you for ten years, why are you hiding and refusing to come out to see me?
You said you've been with me all the time, why doesn't talking count?
Look back at me, can you see me?"
......
But the man on the other side didn't look back as if he hadn't heard.
I was so tired of shouting that I couldn't shout anymore.
remembered that Xiaomeng dragged me just now, and when I looked back, I found that Xiaomeng's eyes were hazy with tears.
The old lady was also wiping away her tears, and then burst into tears and laughed, "Poor silly boy, you haven't listened to me to finish your words, what are you anxious about! ”
It's embarrassing!
"I've made you see the joke. I wiped my face mixed with rain and tears and said to Xiaomeng.
"What am I laughing at, don't you see me crying?" Xiaomeng said and wiped her sleeve on her face.
Although I was fooled and made a joke, I thanked the old lady and asked her for the detailed address of her granddaughter in the yang world, and promised her that I would do the same.
After the rain subsided, Xiaomeng and I went to find Uncle Niu. Walking on the road, Xiaomeng doesn't talk much, I haven't seen her for so long, in fact, I still have a lot to ask her.
