Chapter 5: Past Lives

"You ......, you dead imp!" I shook him off, trembling with rage. The thought of being dazzled by a three-year-old baby just now made my face burn with shame.

"Wife......" Xiao Douding screamed and pounced again. I stretched out my hand against him, ashamed and angry: "Don't call me wife." ”

"Why? You've promised to marry me. "Xiao Douding is injured, his little mouth is pouting, and he looks like he is going to cry again, and my head is as big as a fight.

"You still say!" I yelled, "If you hadn't changed your appearance to lie to me, how would I have promised you?" ”

"People didn't lie to you, that's what I looked like when I grew up." Xiao Douding hugged my leg with a "whin", tears rolling in his eyes, "Wife, I didn't lie to you......"

A two- or three-year-old little bean ding hugged a thirty-year-old woman and called his wife, and anyone who saw it felt weird. This situation made others see it, and they thought I was bullying children. I sighed, squatted down, looked into the eyes of the little Stygian, and reasoned with him softly: "Stygian Flame, you also know that that is what you will look like when you grow up, but you haven't grown up yet, I'm already thirty years old, how can I marry a two- or three-year-old child?" ”

"I'm not two or three years old, I'm three hundred years old." Stygian interrupted me, tears in his eyes, and accused me unconvinced, "Why do you judge people by their appearance? My IQ is dozens of times higher than that of humans your age. ”

"But you look like you're only two or three years old." As long as the IQ is high, there is another thing in this world called emotional intelligence. I patiently continued to reason with him, "Stygian, the human world is much more complicated than the environment you live in, and the human heart is much more unpredictable than the ghosts and gods you have seen, although you are three hundred years old, you are still as innocent as a child of human society, this is the difference between me and you. If you have the opportunity to go to the human world in the future, you will understand what I said today. ”

"I don'......t understand," Douding interrupted me, sobbing, "I just like my wife, and I want to be with my wife forever, isn't that okay?" ”

I sighed and hugged his tiny body, feeling a pang of sourness in my heart. To be honest, it's not that I'm not moved, there is someone who likes you so simply, without other impurities, probably only the feelings of children can do it, right? However, precisely because he is a child, there will be many variables on the road ahead, so many that I can't bear it, child, I don't dare to take risks, because my heart is already full of holes, and I can't withstand stimulation and tossing.

"Stygian Flame, you know how far away forever is?" I asked him gently.

He froze, "How far away is forever?" I ......, I don't know ......"

"You don't know, and I don't know." I looked at him tenderly and smiled faintly, "It can always be far, far, long, long, it can be very close, very short, very short." If it is forever, long, long, thousands of years, can you guarantee that your love for me will not change for a hundred, a thousand years, or ten thousand years? Don't rush to say yes, kid. This is a long, long period of time, mountains and rivers can become plains, the sea can become mulberry fields, and people's hearts will change with the changes in the external environment, which is natural and beyond reproach. You like me now, you like me very much, because it's you who like me now. Once we change, you are no longer the current you, and I am no longer the current me, this kind of liking has been smoothed out by time, maybe a thousand years, ten thousand years later, there is not even a trace, no one knows that you once liked me very much, maybe even you will not remember it again. ”

My tirade made Xiao Douding dizzy, and he looked at me in a daze, not knowing if he understood it. However, since his IQ was as high as he said, he should be able to understand, so I ignored him and continued: "It can always be very short, so short that people think it almost doesn't happen." You took over my case personally, and you should know very well what I experienced during my lifetime. In my previous life, I used to like a man very much, and I thought I would like him forever and forever, but this man only came to cheat me out of my money. I was deceived once, because I liked him and still believed in him, but the second time I was deceived by him even worse. When I was with him, I thought this was the beginning of eternity, but I didn't know that for him, the first day he approached me was the end of eternity. ”

So I don't believe in love, love is full of lies and deceit, full of philistines and calculations. Since then, there have been countless blind dates, and men are picky about your looks, your figure, your conversation temperament, your education, your job, and your family background, and no matter how bad it is, you must have a wallet that can be calculated from time to time. Your thoughts, your talents, your character are superfluous things for men, and love is nothing but a fig leaf for men to squeeze anything that is beneficial to them.

Xiao Douding looked at me gently, silently held my hand, silently, I smiled, and continued: "Later, I finally walked with a man who claimed to have loved me silently for more than ten years, but when we were about to get married, I was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine physical examination in the company. As soon as the man heard that I was going to cut off a **, he was so frightened that he didn't even have time to say goodbye and ran away. Stygian Flame, it's not that I don't want to believe in love, but it really makes me not have the confidence to believe, and if I don't believe it, how can I have marriage. ”

Xiao Douding looked at me seriously and said seriously: "That's because they are not good men, and they are not worthy of you." Wife, I'm different from them. ”

"I believe it." I gently squeezed his soft little hand, "I'm sure you're different from them. But a good man may not be suitable for marriage, do you remember my father? He and my mother are also united by 'love', but love alone is not enough, because of my father's strange laziness and ignorance of the world, for thirty years, my mother has worked hard to support the family alone, and every day she has to work hard and come home to do housework, and she is also dependent on her mother for doing things outside, and everything in the family is inseparable from her. So when my mother died, the breadwinner of the family collapsed. My father, a man who is good at his hands and feet, has no illness or disease, but because he is surprisingly lazy and unable to take care of himself, he continued a week after his mother's death, and he needed a nanny to take care of his life. How ridiculous, my father, he doesn't need love, he doesn't need marriage, all he needs is a babysitter. But he can't afford to hire a nanny who spends money, so he needs a wife, a nanny who doesn't cost money, so he needs marriage. But although the wife doesn't need to spend money, she has to use love to deceive her, so he needs love. Everything that exists is needed and exists because of his own needs. How ridiculous, Stygian, my father, he's not a bad guy, but he's still a cause of harm to others. Flame, this is marriage, it is so worldly, vulnerable to selfish people. Marriage is such a terrible thing, how dare I ask for it? ”

"Not everyone is like him." Xiao Douding stroked my face pityingly, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping water, "Wife, you are too extreme." I wouldn't be like him. ”

"I know, I know." I followed him, not refuting, but helpless, "Stygian, I know, I'm extreme, not all men are like my father, and not all men are trying to deceive and approach me. I'm just afraid, and the more scared I am, the more sensitive I become, so I don't want love, I don't want marriage, I don't want it, it won't hurt. ”

Stygian Flame lowered his eyelids and said faintly, "It's because they hurt you too deeply, that's why you don't want to be reincarnated, you just want to be destroyed." ”

I laughed, remembering that I had died in the underworld because of the spread of cancer cells after surgery, and I felt that I had nothing to love in life, and I was re-experiencing this hardship in my life, and I insisted on refusing to be reincarnated, just wanting to be destroyed. It was this stubbornness that attracted the attention of Stygian Flame, who thought that I seemed to be a good toy, and then he was so entangled with me.

"But you lied to me that I could borrow the corpse to return the soul, as soon as I heard that I could cross over, I remembered the crossing text I read in Jinjiang before, all of them were eating and drinking spicy food and spicy food in the past, and there were a lot of handsome guys and beautiful men, and I thought that I could really live a happy life of a rice worm, but I didn't expect you to be good, arrange such a body for me." When I thought about how easy it was to be deceived, I vomited, "Others cross for pleasure, but I cross for suffering, you bastard!" ”

"I just want you to know that those men are all bad, they are not as good as me, and none of them are better than me is to you." Stygian Flame hugged me tightly and said sadly, "When you were reincarnated, you begged me to keep the memories of your past lives, just so that you would not be hurt again in the future?" ”

I let out a long sigh, although I don't agree with his methods, his intentions are not out of malice, "Yes, these are valuable experiences, why should I learn from scratch again, and then be ignorant and experience the ugliness of red dust." I smiled and said gratefully, "I thank you, Stygian, for making me suffer less. ”

"You don't have to thank me, I just don't want you to forget me, so I kept your memory." Tears slid down Xiao Douding's eyes, "I'm for myself." I'm also selfish, right, but I'm no different from them. You don't want to marry me, but I keep pestering you and forcing you to marry me. Sending you to resurrection, and to a most evil man, I just want you to understand that no man in this world is inferior to me, I didn't expect you to be hurt at all, if it weren't for my being too selfish, you wouldn't have suffered, I'm sorry, wife. ”

He still stubbornly called me wife, and even when he confessed, I was so angry and funny, and I was really a child. But I can't bear to criticize him anymore, which child is not like this? Never let go of your favorite toy. A question suddenly came to mind, and I asked him curiously, "Stygian, am I dead again?" ”

"Dead?" His eyes widened and he couldn't understand why I asked, "No, where is it so easy to die!" ”

"Then how did I see you?" I asked curiously, "Aren't you the little Hades?" ”

He smiled "hehe": "I'm in your dream, stupid wife." ”

Dream? I see. I looked at him with feigned displeasure and said in a deep voice, "I'm a **, little ghost." You are not allowed to enter my dreams casually in the future. ”

"Nope." Stygian Flame was anxious, and his face turned red, "Then I will never see you again." ”

"Then as soon as I sleep, you can't run into my dreams!" My face was full of displeasure.

"I don't come every time, I have a lot of official business to deal with every day, and I can only come to see you when I have time. However, if you need me to come and see you, or if you need my help, I will immediately leave my official duties and rush over. Stygian smiled as he took out a piece of black jade strung with a red rope from his bosom, hung it around my neck, and said with an oath, "Put it on, and when you think of me, call my name in your heart, and I will know." ”

I picked up the black jade hanging on my chest, and saw that it was carved into the shape of a dragon, the dragon was black all over, and it was peculiar at the open mouth of the dragon, but the jade had a natural blood red, which was carved into the flames of the dragon's mouth by the skillful craftsmen.

"It's beautiful." I exclaimed, "But what if you lose it because it looks valuable?" ”

"I won't lose it. This jade has aura, only recognize the master, I gave it to you, you are its master, you can't lose it if you want to. Stygian's tone unconsciously carried a domineering air. This is confidence in his own abilities and immortal treasures, right?

"Thank you." I pinched this piece of jade, my heart was full of gratitude, with it, it is tantamount to having a real talisman, no matter what kind of danger I face in the future, I know that I still have someone to turn to.

Stygian Flame shook his head and said apologetically: "I am the one who put you in such a bad body and made your situation dangerous, but you have already returned to Yang, unless your Yang life is over, I can no longer indulge your life and death." Wife, I want you to know that no matter what you encounter, you are not alone. ”

I wanted to open my mouth to say thank you, but the tears flowed first. Stygian Flame wiped away my tears with his chubby little hands, opened his mouth, and although his face was full of reluctance, he still spoke: "Wife, I've been out for too long and I'm going back, what else do you want me to help you?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked him, "My relatives, how are you doing?" ”

I want to know if my only brother in my previous life, the only relative in my mind, Ye Zi, is doing well, and my hateful and hateful father, who has always been my blood relative, even though he has hurt me far more than my family affection.

Stygian waved his hand, and an illusion appeared in front of him. I saw Ye Zi and his lovely girlfriend Xiaojing taking wedding photos in the photo studio with happy faces. Ye Zi is going to have his own family, it's really fast, as soon as the underworld is said, a year in the mortal world, presumably he has forgotten the sadness that my death brought him. The camera turns to my house, my dad is sitting in front of the computer surfing the Internet, and his remarried wife is busy in the kitchen, exactly the same as before.

"They're doing well, aren't they?" I smiled and hugged Stygian's tiny body, "Thank you, Stygian. ”

"Wife, I'm leaving." Wraiflame opened a pair of clear eyes, tears glistening, "Can you kiss me again?" ”

I smiled, lowered my head, and kissed his lamp-like eyes gently.

It's a gentle refusal. He knows, and I know. He pounced on me, hugged me tightly, tears fell to my neck, and choked up: "Wife, no matter what, you are my favorite person." Even if you don't want to marry me, in my heart, you will always be my wife. ”

His figure turned into a ball of light and disappeared faintly in my arms, and I sat quietly, holding the black jade on my chest tightly in my hand, and laughed silently.
