Chapter 4: There is a woman in Lethe, and her name is Ah Shuang
Because of the mistake made yesterday, I didn't dare to run around today, and honestly accompanied Meng Po to the Nai He Bridge to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info carrying their own small bucket to the Lechuan River to draw water, the river water is turbid and surging, and all kinds of wailing sounds are endless. I don't know what kind of strong obsession it is, so that they would rather suffer like this for a thousand years than be reincarnated, just to wait for someone to come.
Looking into the distance, Huangquan Road and the banks of the Lechuan River are still full of gorgeous flowers on the other side. Meng Po said that this time the flowers on the other side have been blooming for nearly a thousand years, and the flowering period is almost over, and the leaves will grow when the flowers are gone. In this way, it will take another thousand years to see the flowers bloom again. Flowers bloom for a thousand years, thank for a thousand years, flowers and leaves will never meet. For some reason, looking at this piece of lonely red, the face named Jiang Mata from yesterday and the dark red in his eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, and he felt as if only this mysterious and arrogant man was worthy of the decisive and stunning flower of the other side.
Weak people tend to have stronger perceptions, for example, so far I don't have any lethal power to others, but I can keenly perceive and capture everyone's emotions and thoughts. The same is true for the ability to judge risk factors. So outside, I always stay away from people who are too much stronger than me, and yesterday in the pawnshop, when I noticed his thoughts of trying to peep at me, I subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze, leave the pawnshop, and stay away from him. I think this reaction was driven by an instinct. But in the conversation that followed, my intuition also told me that he didn't mean to hurt me, maybe he was a very dangerous person, but as long as he didn't target me, he didn't have to be too defensive. What really confused me was his eyes, unfathomable, as if no one in the world could guess what he was thinking. The point is, in such a mysterious and unpredictable identity, in his pupils, I just happened to see a complete self. There are too many things in his eyes that I don't understand, what I want to say, what I can't say, and what I can't afford. It seems that something is about to break out of the cocoon, I can't grasp it, I can't think about it. There seemed to be Granny Meng and Uncle Ma Mian telling them again and again: "Don't go near the pawnshop, be sure to stay away from the pawnshop..... and so on." In a short period of time, my mind suddenly became very messy.
It's like the Hades verdict, there will be a lot of complicated and messy clues, scattered one by one, and I need a line of thought to connect them together. For trying to understand and ponder things and so on, I always like to find a quiet place to think clearly, for my attitude of rushing to leave, he seems to be nothing, but his eyes accidentally show a trace of loss, that kind of look is not understood by people I trust, but I know very well that we have never seen each other before.
There must be something I don't know, and Granny Meng is hiding it from me, definitely.
"Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi—" Granny Meng seemed to be in a hurry, calling out my name.
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming. "I was interrupted by Granny Dream's call, and hurriedly fetched water and ran over.
"Why did you stay so long today?
I went over perfunctorily with haha, and Granny Meng has always been disgusted with things related to no pawnshop. If I knew that I had been thinking about Jiang Mata just now, I wouldn't have been very happy.
Ah Shuang was met when I was fetching water for Granny Meng, and she was also one of the souls who threw themselves into the Lechuan River. The faces of the souls of the dead in Lethe are all incomplete. Ah Shuang has been corroded by Lechuan water for thousands of years, and there is almost only a skeleton left. There is occasionally a little flesh attached to the skeleton, which is loose and loose. When I first saw her, she was leaning against the bank of the Lethe River to suppress her tears, and her lower body was soaking in the water of Lethe. She endured it for a long time, not like the heart-rending screams of the new soul. It doesn't hurt, but I still can't help the pain and my body keeps shaking.
"Just cry out when it hurts, no one will laugh at you. "That was the first thing I said to her.
She seemed surprised by the arrival of someone else, and Bai Sensen's skull faced me: "Who are you? You, not afraid of me?" Ah Shuang shook his arm, and the joints of the bones rattled, as if they would fall apart at any moment.
"Why be afraid?"
"I'm like this......" She seemed embarrassed and withdrew her arm.
The flesh on Ah Shuang's face has long been washed away, and she has no expression, but looking at her empty eyes, I just feel a trace of her expectation.
"So what, that's what happens when people die. Besides, you're much better looking than the other skeletons in the Lethe River. Look at that, the grumpy one in the middle of the river, who tosses around when it hurts, threw off his head last time, and still hasn't found it. ”
“.....”
Anyway, we became good friends, and I always talked to her when I came to fetch water, and I learned her story from her. She was the daughter of a merchant in the capital before her death, and her daughter's name was Ah Shuang. When Ah Shuang was 13 years old, he met Li Tiannan, the prince of King Min's mansion, at the Lantern Festival, and the two fell in love at first sight. However, due to the importance of agriculture and light business in the world, the status of merchants is the lowest, and the gap between the two families is too big, Princess Min entered the palace to ask the queen and the queen mother for the sake of Li Tiannan's death. On the second day, the emperor pointed out to Li Tiannan the daughter of the prime minister's family as the princess. On the day of the wedding, Ah Shuang went to find Li Tiannan, but was discovered by the subordinates sent by Princess Min, arrested Ah Shuang, and threatened Li Tiannan, saying that Ah Shuang would only be released the next day after his cave room. Who knew that on the way to pick up the princess from Li Tiannan, Ah Shuang had already been killed. was poisoned by Princess Min's mother and thrown into a mass grave.
In order to have a chance to renew the relationship with her lover, Ah Shuang jumped into Lethe River and waited for a thousand years. Who knew that Li Tiannan had embarked on the road of cultivation in this life, and his previous life had been rewritten, and he didn't know how many years it would be when he died in this life. The king of Hades could not bear to endure such torture for a woman, and when it was a thousand years old, Kai Graciously allowed Ah Shuang to temporarily live in the residential area of the underworld. Ah Shuang refused: "I'm afraid that I won't be there when he comes, and I will miss the long-awaited meeting, and I will suffer a thousand years of loneliness in vain." I'm afraid to forget how much I love him, at least the pain in my body will remind me of how deep this feeling is. It's been too long, and if it doesn't hurt anymore, I'm afraid I'll even forget why I waited for him. Even if I am broken, I still have to remember him. I'm just waiting for him to come, and I'm not going anywhere. The people in the underworld can only regret helplessly: "Idiot." "Many people are like this, for an obsession to throw themselves into the Lechuan River, watching the waiting people cross the river again and again, drink Meng Po soup, reincarnate, but they can't see each other, wait and wait and don't remember who they are, how long they waited, and who they were waiting for.
Granny Meng chatted with me while stirring the soup in the pot: "It is said that the world is good, and the treatment of heaven is the best place." But in my opinion, my wife, there is no comfort anywhere in our underworld. The ability is high, and the door sees something, our prefecture has never paid attention to it. If you like it, you will be together, whether you have money or not, whether you have power or not. People and gods, people and demons, gods and demons can't love each other or something, which one is not determined by heaven, how noble you are. This bad person's marriage is extremely damaging to yin morality, and he will not be able to vote for a good person in the next life, or he will be reduced to the point that he can no longer be worthy of a good match. Ah Shuang too, after waiting for a thousand years, I don't know if it's worth it or not. In her previous life, Li Tiannan heard that she had not eaten or drunk for two days and two nights, and she only married that one princess in her life. But after a reincarnation, Li Tiannan didn't know who Ah Shuang was for a long time. In this life, he even cultivated the Tao, and the master he followed was indeed a master, and he could cultivate a lifespan of nearly two hundred years in this life. It's just that Ah Shuang has been wronged, and I have to wait for nearly two hundred years...... The water is boiling, Xiaoshi, hand me the Forget-me-Forget Grass over there. ”
"Hey. ”
