Chapter 30: The Dead Ghost
Ah Ling opened her eyes, and what greeted her was a big bright moon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info In her lifetime, the moon she had ever seen had always hung high in the sky, never so close. So Ah Ling thought that he must be dead.
It turns out that death is not so painful. On the contrary, the pain of the previous injury and the infection cannot be felt at all. It is...... Well. It's just that the body doesn't have the slightest strength. Ah Ling thought that she might have become a ghost. Just like my grandfather said, when people die, they turn into ghosts. Ghosts are the kind of things that have no body and are fluttering. Therefore, she is naturally fluttering now.
"Awake?" a soft, indescribably soft, indescribable voice suddenly sounded in my ears. It's like a feather brushing gently on the tip of the heart. Ah Ling felt ironing in her heart, and opened her eyes to look around. There is no other source of light, but the light of the moon is as bright as day. By the clear moonlight of this place, I saw a beautiful man who could not be described in words, sitting quietly beside him.
Ah Ling opened her mouth half-open, and she was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to be polite, she just felt that this person was really good-looking...... It couldn't be better. Even if all the good-looking things in the world combined, they are not as beautiful as a single hair of him. He is much more good-looking than Ah Die...... Many.
That's right, I'm already dead. When he was alive, Ah Die was certainly beautiful, but that was when he was alive. Presumably after he died, there must be other people who are more beautiful than Ah Die. Grandpa said that those heavenly gods are the ones who have the most perfect appearance, sometimes they have no form, but when they have form, they can also transform into the best appearance in the world.
"Priests were never afraid of poison. But you have been poisoned by corpses. Alas......" the man sighed in a voice like a jade plate. Ah Ling listened a little distracted. However, she couldn't understand a word of what the other party said. Ah Ling asked a good question: "Brother, are you the god of death?"
Ah Ling thought, one of the gods of the heavens has nothing to do with him, but he has just "died", so he is most likely to appear in front of him and let himself see, who can it be if it is not the god of death?
“……”
The man was silent for a while. Re: "No. ”
"And what kind of god are you?"
"I am mortal. ”
Ah Ling was stunned. His lips squirmed a few times, trying to say something, but he didn't know what to say. She felt that there was something wrong with her, how could a mortal be like this...... She couldn't say anything. For a while, he didn't think that if the other party was a mortal, then he should be alive at all. But she only wondered for a while, and never took things she couldn't figure out to heart. So he quickly left it behind again, and continued to look at others with bright eyes.
The man said no more. He looked up at the moon in the sky, and seemed to see God. The night was quiet again, and there was not even a trace of superfluous sound except for the wind.
O Death......
What a noble god it was! But he hadn't heard anyone talk of it for a long, long time.
……
The moon slowly drifted from the middle of the sky to the edge of the sky, and then disappeared behind the mountain peaks. The light began to appear on the horizon. Ah Ling realized that they were on top of a high cliff. At night, even if there is a bright moon, there is a black rumbling at the bottom, so I can't see it, but when the day slowly lights up, there is a whole sea of clouds at the end of the sky under my feet. In the valley where Ah Ling grew up, although there are many mountains, none of them are so high and so beautiful. Grandpa said that when people die, they will either go to the underworld or to the heavens. So is she in heaven now?
Wait a minute.
Ah Ling's face changed: After death...... That's right. She's dead, and now a ghost wandering around the unknown. Even if the ghost is illuminated by the sun, it will be wiped out in a minute!
Ah Ling shrank back in horror. The beautiful scenery of the upcoming sunrise in front of her could no longer attract her. She hesitantly looked at her beautiful brother, who was still indifferent and stared at the horizon. Not to mention the sunrise, now she has no time to appreciate her brother's beauty. A little heart tumbled in the liver and only one sentence: "The sun is about to come out, will I be sunburned? Will I be sunburned? What should I do if I am sunburned? I haven't found Ah Die, what should I ......do?"
In an instant, a golden ray of light unfolded at the end of the sea of clouds. Ah Ling was in a hurry. Although this brother was sitting in the clouds, and the scenery facing the morning sun was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb it, she couldn't help but bother after all: "Brother......"
"What?"
Hearing his voice, Ah Ling breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Busy said: "Brother, the sun is too ...... come out"
"Huh?" the man finally turned back in confusion: what has this kid been tossing around here since just now?
"When the sun comes out, that, it will be sunburned......" Ah Ling looked at him earnestly, and his tone was very worried.
Scold......
The man laughed dumbly. He is naturally aware of his own situation. This ice-covered appearance on his body is not innate, it is related to a very sad past, and it is inseparable from the luck of the whole land...... It's just that these things obviously can't be understood by the little priest in front of him. But that doesn't hurt. As a priest of this generation, she should understand, and when the time comes, she will understand.
"Rest assured. No, it won't. "When I see myself, I worry that I will melt away with the sun, this child is not the first, and it will not be the last.
The sunrise rose extremely fast, and in an instant, the golden light had enveloped the entire peak. Ah Ling couldn't hide it, and was scared in her heart, although she felt that the morning sun was shining on her body, warm, not the slightest discomfort, on the contrary, it was ...... That's a refreshment for the ghost. But that didn't dispel her doubts. Until this beautiful brother said these four words. She was like taking a reassuring pill. I looked down again: I was all in my body, my hands and feet were all there, and not even a single hair had dissipated. She finally settled down completely. The little hand still patted his chest with palpitations: "It's okay." OK. Great......"
The two of them said their own things, and they even made a tenon together. One-on-one answer, there seems to be nothing wrong at all.
"It's time to go. ”
"Ah?...... Well. Ah Ling nodded obediently, and looked at the sea of clouds in front of him reluctantly. I thought it would be great if ghosts could not be afraid of the sun. Otherwise, she would never have seen such a beautiful view.
The two of them came to the market.
It was early in the morning, and the streets were full of vendors and people. Although it is only a dilapidated town, it is also much better than the bustle of the mountains. Ah Ling looked around with a new look. Suddenly, when I saw a large pile of white and chubby steamed buns stacked on the board of a board that I picked earlier, my stomach was also very suitable for the occasion.
Ah Ling swallowed. I thought to myself, "It's strange that the dead ghost can be hungry too." You can also not be afraid of the sun. It turns out that the feeling after death is no different from when you were alive. But what should a person eat after death?...... Not. The steamed buns are so fragrant!" She stretched her neck and sniffed: about a ghost can "eat" as long as he smells the fragrance of food. But why, the more she smelled, the hungrier she became?
"Two buns. ”
"Two buns are good!-" The boss who picked the one earlier quickly picked out two large meat buns from the steamer, skillfully wrapped them in paper, and handed them forward. Suddenly, a pair of gray eyes like thin ice collided with his vision, and his subconscious body stiffened, and the paper bag in his hand fell straight down.
The gray-eyed owner grabbed the paper bag in his hand, and at the same time as he took the paper bag in his hand, the two copper plates were also stuffed into the boss's palm.
"Come on. You're hungry. Eat first. ”
"For me?" Ah Ling took the paper bag with both hands, and her big eyes flashed with surprise. After thinking about it, he opened the paper bag, grabbed a bun and handed it back, and said, "Brother, you can eat it too." ”
A smile appeared in the man's eyes: "I don't have to. After a pause, he explained, "I don't feel hungry." ”
Ah Ling was stunned. Then he understood very smartly: "Yes, I just said, ghosts don't need to eat in the first place." I guess I just died, and I'm not used to being a ghost, so I'm still hungry. This brother may have been dead for a long time, so he didn't need to eat at all. Well. It must be so. As for the previous brother, he called himself a "mortal". Ah Ling thought about it and gave the answer: "He said that he was a mortal, but he didn't say whether it was before he died or after death." Wasn't I a 'mortal' before I died?"
Well. It must be so, and there is nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Ah Ling figured out this section, and was immediately refreshed, grabbed the bun, and took a big bite.
