31. §§031 Wait for him to come back
If you want to find out where Xiaoman's parents live, now, there is only one way.
Jiayu took out the book of life and death, and then clicked on the page of the "Underworld Intelligence Station".
Although it is a Grim Reaper prop, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just an iPad.
Xinyi looked curiously at the screen display, the entry page of the "Intelligence Station" was an antique tavern, and the Q version of the black and white impermanence was served on the left and right, sticking out a long tongue and saying "Welcome".
Xinyi Khan. Then he entered the tavern from the perspective of a tourist, and when he came to the counter, the ghost cha, who was also in the style of the Q version, smiled kindly and asked, "What information do you want?" ”
Jiayu pointed his finger on the ghost's head, "? ", then enter Xiaoman's name and press "OK".
The ghost on the screen has a bone-chilling eye, and then listens to a "ding dong" sound, and a dialog box pops up with two options:
Intelligence on the deceased.
Information on the living.
Jiayu chose the living, and then listened to the ghost's funny expression "Ji Ji" funny laughter, and a speech bubble popped up on his head:
Please pay the honorarium.
"Isn't intelligence free?" Xinyi raised an eyebrow.
"The living are not."
Xinyi watched curiously as Jiayu's fingers clicked on the speech bubble, and then when she saw the zeros in the "Confirm Payment Amount", her jaw almost hit the ground.
3…… Behind is 000......
The special meow actually costs 3,000 yuan?! Or RMB?
"Isn't this a cheat!"
Xinyi was indignant.
"Xiaoman's information has been updated to 'evil spirit', so if you want to investigate the 'living' information related to him, the reward you need to pay will be much more expensive."
In fact, let alone paying an honorarium, very few Grim Reapers' Grim Reapers' Spirits will transcend evil spirits. In the underworld, it is not strange to pay expensive honorariums, but Jiayu's approach is more bizarre.
However, 3,000 yuan is just a few words, which makes Xinyi feel that it is too much!
"I'm going to judge in front of the Hades Palace!"
As soon as Xinyi's words came out, even Jiayu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but panic.
"Daughter-in-law, you have to be calm!"
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and all my internal organs were on fire. suddenly looked at Xinyi who was Xiaoman, and her sharp eyes were full of murderous aura.
Jiayu saw such Xinyi for the first time, and her expression could no longer be described in words, I am afraid that it was only a few points better than the ghosts in hell.
Xiao Man was stared at by her, although Xinyi didn't speak, but Xiao Man and Jiayu both felt that her expression was saying, "Just split you directly." ”
Xiao Man swallowed a mouthful of spit, let out a sad cry of "oops", his red and swollen eyes were full of frightened tears, and his body retreated.
From the position of an evil spirit → a female college student, it suddenly changed to the position of a little white rabbit → a big bad wolf.
"Alright, alright, good!" Jiayu's free hand put his arm around Xinyi, "Not to mention this kid, it's going to scare other patients?" ”
The passing patients saw Xinyi's Rakshasa face and avoided it.
Jiayu quickly completed the online payment.
After dating, all of Jiayu's account passwords were changed to Xinyi's birthday, but this did not ease Xinyi's feelings.
The price of a child's evil spirit is three thousand, and the price of an adult evil spirit is even more expensive—Jia Yu thought, this must not be known to Xinyi.
The ghost in the picture of the book of life and death let out a "wow ka" laugh when confirming the arrival of the amount, which made Xinyi unhappy again. Then, the ghostly eyes of the "bones" glowed, and then the picture turned, and the page turned into parchment, on which the information of Xiaoman's parents was clearly recorded.
Of course, the underworld does not have a pit to the point of not allowing the information to be saved, and the system is equipped with its own navigation, which is convenient for the god of death who does not know the way to find it.
Xinyi, who got on the bus, still had a ghostly expression. They sat in the last row of the bus, and there were still seats available, but the other passengers just didn't dare to go over.
Jiayu's heart: "Oops, oops, ......"
I got off the bus and walked for a few minutes, following the instructions of the Book of Births and Deaths, and turned into an alley from the main road.
The sight in front of them can be said to have turned their worldview upside down.
Even for Xinyi, this is a completely different world, not to mention Jiayu, who lives in the upper class. It's not depressed but noisy, but it's definitely not popular with anyone. If you use one word to describe it, then "chaos" is the most appropriate.
If it weren't for the navigation in the Book of Life and Death, they wouldn't have been able to find this place. The narrow alleys, as well as dirty garbage bags thrown on the side of the road, the smell of dirt and pungent smell wafts through the nose, and there are occasional rats and cockroaches crawling by the roadside.
The noise was made by some young people from the past, who were by no means good. As they passed by those people, they stared at Xinyi with malicious intentions, whistling flirtatiously.
Jiayu's face turned pale, and his sharp gaze pierced at them.
It seemed that they felt that an invisible cold air was approaching, and they seemed to see a giant snake spitting snake letters roaring behind Jiayu, and several bad young wolves fled, one of them turned around and gave Jiayu the middle finger while running away quickly, but his "you remember me" approach was no deterrent under Jiayu's infiltrating aura.
Retracting his gaze and suppressing the anger rising in his heart, Jiayu regretted a little, knowing that the environment here was like this, he didn't bring Xinyi here. Sighing angrily, Jia Yu wanted to drape the robes of the underworld on Xinyi's body, so that at least the disciples wouldn't see her.
Xinyi's anger has long been cooled by these bad youths. She understood Jiayu's kindness, but she still declined.
She promised to be his assistant, so she would support him with all her might, how could she always be protected by him?
Besides, although Xinyi was also a little afraid of these people, they didn't dare to really do anything in front of Jiayu, at most they would raise their middle fingers provocatively and ignore them.
They stopped in front of a very modest apartment, with small advertisements plastered on the walls on either side.
The concrete staircase was covered in oil and dust, and it seemed that no one had ever cleaned it.
The book of life and death shows that Xiaoman's mother lives in room 302.
They knocked on 302's door, and the door creaked open, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of them.
Xiao Man's eyes widened.
This woman is undoubtedly his mother. However, now she is so thin that she can be described as "skinny", and she is not the figure in Xiaoman's memory.
The mother in my memory is plump and young.
Xiaoman is only 9 years old, how old can his mother be? At most, they are in their thirties. But now the woman who appeared in front of Xinyi and them had a yellow and thin face, a haggard appearance, and a few strands of silver added to her dry and frizzy hair, and she looked like she was forty or fifty years old.
Xiao Man couldn't believe his eyes.
"Is there anything you guys are up to?"
"Excuse me...... Are you Xiaoman's mother? ”
The woman was lifeless, and even when she heard Xinyi mention her son's name, she didn't react in particular.
"Who are you?"
Xinyi and Jiayu looked at each other.
"Uh...... It's kind of his friend, we met in the hospital. ”
Xinyi is responsible for communicating with Xiaoman's mother, while Jiayu is paying attention to Xiaoman's dynamics.
Xiao Man showed a sad look, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look directly at his mother.
"Auntie, Xiaoman, he misses you very much. Why don't you go to the hospital to see him? ”
"We didn't have time to see him."
His mother's words sent Xiao Man into the abyss of despair, and his heart was broken at this moment, he clenched his fists, bit his lip, and there was a faint evil aura coming out of his body.
Jiayu secretly said that it was not good, blocking in front of Xiaoman.
Just when Jiayu wanted to catch Xiao Man, who was about to break out of control, his mother's next words made Xiao Man calm down.
"It's better to use it to make money and earn Xiaoman's surgery fees if you have this time."
Xiao Man raised his head suddenly, a shocked expression.
The head nurse said that every time the settlement date, a fee will be transferred to the hospital's account.
"It's a shame that you can find this place, did Xiaoman ask you to come to see me? I knew that the child's physical condition would never be able to get out of the hospital bed. ”
- She knows! She has never visited the future for two years, but she actually knows his physical condition?
Why?
Why?
Why!
Xiao Man asked himself repeatedly in his heart.
"If you run for nothing, I won't go to see him."
"Why?" Xinyi asked sadly.
Xiaoman's mother, the indifferent expression finally changed a little.
"We never wanted to 'go see him,' we wanted 'him back.'"
As if he had been punched with a fist, Xiao Man staggered back a few steps and leaned against the dusty wall.
The field of vision became blurry, and the tip of his nose was sour.
“…… Woo! ”
Xiao Man's jaw bone trembled disobediently, and his throat squeezed out a whimper very unproductively.
-- The name "Man" comes from the love for you.
The hatred that has supported him to this day has fallen apart.
Xinyi and Jiayu were also moved.
The indifferent mother, only when she said this, showed a quiet smile like an epiphany.
The little man seemed to be stupid, and he walked slowly over to his mother, staring unblinkingly at the cheek that had been wrinkled by the knife of time.
With a trembling hand, he reached out and stroked his mother's dark yellow cheek.
“…… Mother...... Mommy ......"
Mom.
Mom!
For more than 730 days and nights, he kept calling people.
It turned out that I didn't want him, but I kept looking forward to his return.
Xinyi also burst into tears uncontrollably, and Jiayu held Xinyi's shoulder.
Xiaoman's mother was a little surprised, and said, "You ......"
Xiao Man suddenly cried and said: "You sue her, sue her, I am dead, I don't have to force myself to work hard to earn money in the future, to earn my medical expenses!" …… Please, let them be relieved from these days of poverty......"
Xinyi whimpered and said, "...... You let me ...... What do you say......"
Xiao Man's mother looked at them with some confusion, then nodded, "It's normal for you to not accept what I did. ”
Xiaoman's mother couldn't see her son standing in front of her, thinking that Xinyi was talking to her.
"Auntie." Jiayu took a deep breath, "Xiaoman...... It's gone. ”
There was a momentary pause in the mother's breathing.
Her gaze was like nailing Jiayu's face, trying to find something from Jiayu's expression.
…… Jiayu's expression has already explained a qiē.
In fact, they should also know that with their ability, even if they work hard for another ten years, they may not be able to earn enough for Xiaoman's surgery. Xiaoman's condition was discovered too late, and now this result is ......
It's inevitable.
Jiayu looked away in pain.
“…… Such...... It's also ......."
…… People died...... You don't have to suffer from illness anymore......
"Boom!"
There was a gust of wind, the door slammed shut, and the sound of something falling and shattering could be heard in the room.
After a while, a crying sound of hissing and cracking of the lungs came from inside.
"That's enough...... That's enough......"
Sad, reluctant, giving up, relieved.
Changing expressions, and tears pouring out.
Until, Xiao Man's body became transparent, and he was no longer in the state of an evil spirit.
Xiao Man burst into tears, and the spirit gradually floated in the air like a feather, and then turned into a little starlight in the sky.
It's over.
His soul was redeemed.
On the way back to school, Xinyi still cried non-stop, and Jiayu kept holding her in her arms, gently stroking her hair with her hands, coaxing her.
"Don't cry, if you cry again, you'll cry badly."
"Woo ......"
"Alright, alright. I'm afraid there will be a lot of this situation in the future? ”
Jiayu patted Xinyi's back gently, thinking to herself, if you work too much in the future, you will really come by yourself, right?
Just as Jiayu was thinking this, Xinyi suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
"No...... You are not allowed to ...... Leave me behind. That's it...... I want to help you, and we have to face ...... together."
She sobbed, her voice sobbing.
It's so cute.
"And what if something happens to you again?"
"I ...... I'm going to get used to it...... Give me time ......"
Yes, time will be dull and healing.
I believe that Xiaoman's mother will eventually be healed by time.
Jiayu tightened his grip on her, let her pill on his shoulder, and said softly with relief, gratitude:
"Hmm."
