In the prosperous Gusu, wealthy businessmen gathered, and even in the middle of the night, the night market was still brightly lit. Next to the moat in the west of the city, there is a very beautiful willow tree, which I don't know what year it was planted.

The duckweed let out a long sigh, and the little baby on the side woke up at some point, and also let out a long sigh, with tears in her eyes.

In front of me was a charming but very weak woman, with infinite sorrow in her eyes, and murmured: "So that's the case, no wonder, I knew that he wouldn't not come back to see me." ”

Duckweed sympathized with her, and there were many similar beginnings in the scripts she had seen before, but they were basically complete. And the real story she saw in front of her was so sad. She said: "Ah Li, now that your wish has been fulfilled, do you regret it?"

The woman named Ah Li smiled and shook her head, her pale face filled with the fleeting happiness of the past.

"No regrets. I don't regret it. With that, her body slowly vanished, dissipating little by little into the nameless willow tree.

Xiaowa asked puzzledly: "Sister, why is she gone, is she a demon or a ghost?"

"It's not a demon, it's not a ghost, she's just a little obsession of Ah Li's life. Ah Li may have wanted to go home too much, so this little residual thought went over the mountains and mountains to Gusu, and returned to the place she was most familiar with. Now, her wish has come true, and she naturally doesn't have to remember this world. ”

Xiaowa continued to ask while cleaning up the table, "What about Ye Yu, why didn't his remnants come back?"

Duckweed sighed before saying, "Hey, that Taoist priest used the soul harvesting bowl, Ye Yu's soul didn't stay in that bowl for more than an hour, even me, maybe I can only stay for seven days." That's a good thing, and we can get it in Shu when we have a chance. ”

Xiaowa shuddered, and quickly shook her head and said, "Don't, I don't want to meet a female ghost with no face, it's too scary." ”

Duckweed and Xiaowa walked towards the inn with their things, and duckweed smiled: "That female ghost is not terrible, she is the kindest child." Little baby, not all terrible things are not kind. ”

Xiaowa asked as if she didn't understand: "Then why is she still scared of Ah Li, and why is there no flesh on her body, it's all blood?"

"She is a poor and kind and filial person, when she first came to Kunlun Mountain to find the Queen Mother, she said that her name was San'e. It's Hou Keng, the daughter of Peng Zu as you legend. San'e was originally a person with a fairy fate, but because she couldn't bear to watch her father die of old age, she came to ask the queen mother. But in this world, if you go against the way of heaven, you will naturally have to pay a price. She used her flesh and blood to feed her father, and in the end, there was not even a whole piece of flesh on her. People in the world say that Peng Zu was immortal because of cultivation, but in fact, they don't know that Peng Zu lived for so long, but because someone used flesh and blood to maintain his lifespan. San'e wanted to help Ah Li, she trapped Ah Li in her dream, because she didn't want Ah Li to be discovered by the Taoist priest. Only in this way can Ah Li live. Hey, the Queen Mother doesn't deceive me, there are still many idiots in this world. ”

After the duckweed finished speaking, she seemed to remember something far away, and didn't continue, just led the little baby forward, and didn't know what she was thinking. It must be almost dawn, the moon has already set, and the sun has just risen a little, but it is still covered in dark clouds. Xiaowa couldn't help but feel a little cold, so she had to tighten the corners of duckweed's clothes.

When they returned to the inn, the little baby and duckweed took a bath happily, and by the time they were about to go to bed, it was already dawn.

The little baby and duckweed were sleepy, and before they even had time to cover their stomachs, they fell asleep.

By the time the two woke up, it was already noon. Duckweed led the little baby to eat snacks in the store, and then went back to the room to sleep.

Xiaowa reluctantly fanned the duckweed, and after the duckweed fell asleep, she went to the merchant who sold ice under the sun to buy some cool mung bean water.

It's just that when she arrived at the inn, the mung bean water was almost hot. The little baby was very depressed, so she had to go back to the room angrily, but saw that the duckweed was still awake. At this time, she was reading the legendary novel at the bedside, and Xiaowa couldn't help but complain: "Sister, you see that this mung bean water is hot, and this weather is too unhuman." ”

Duckweed laughed, took the mung bean water in her hand, and drank it all. Duckweed said comfortably: "This mung bean water is really cool and relieves the heat, little baby, have you drunk it?"

Xiaowa nodded, looked up at her pink and chubby little face and said, "Well, I couldn't help but drink two big bowls when I bought it." ”

Duckweed shook her head and sighed: "Oh, I thought that the little baby was going to buy ice water for me on such a hot day, but it turned out that she was hungry." ”

"Sister, I really wanted to buy it just for you, but it was too hot, so I couldn't help but drink it myself. Xiaowa replied aggrievedly.

Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "Oh, it's okay, if we can't earn back the money for these three bowls of ice water tonight, you have to figure out a way by yourself." It's okay to work as a handyman for the innkeeper, or find a handsome young man who can make a promise. ”

The little baby's tender lotus-like face was flushed with anger by duckweed's words, but she didn't know what to refute, so she had to go to bed and lie on her back.

"Angry, little baby, don't be so stingy. ”

Xiaowa said angrily: "It's obvious that you are stingy!"

"Am I not worried that our business will not be cared for? Don't be angry, just kidding, how can I be willing to let my little baby leave me. As compensation, would you like to hear the story of the Mung Bean Demon?" said duckweed flatteringly.

Xiaowa exclaimed: "Mung beans can also cultivate into demons?"

Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course, except for people, everything can be a demon." ”

Xiaowa continued to be shocked: "Then the mung bean water we just drank... ”

"Maybe it's the corpse of the mung bean demon. Duckweed winked and smiled playfully.

The little baby screamed and shouted: "Duckweed, do you have any morality to tell such a cruel story." ”

Duckweed was a little aggrieved, "Haven't I talked about this yet?" ”

"You don't even want to tell stories about youkai that can be eaten in the future, it's too cruel. The little baby was indignant, her little face was puffing up, and she looked very cute.

Duckweed smiled: "Okay, then I'll tell you a story about a kitchen knife and a cutting board." ”

The little baby had question marks written all over her face, and looked at the duckweed like a fool.

Duckweed ignored her gaze and continued: "Around the Han Dynasty, in the house of a butcher who sold meat, there was a cutting board that became fine. I don't know why, this cutting board is strangely in love with a kitchen knife that cuts itself every day and has no spiritual sense. The cutting board loves kitchen knives to a crazy level, and it always fantasizes that when the kitchen knife and itself become a demon, they will live and fly together. However, before that day, on an ordinary afternoon, the butcher accidentally cut the meat too hard, and the cutting board was cut into two sections by the kitchen knife. The cutting board spirit died alive. Ay. ”

"Sister, don't say it, I will never listen to your stories again. The little baby looked indifferent.

The fairy-like duckweed sister, how can she tell the story like a stepmother?
