Chapter 258: The Long-Lost Melody (I)

Those who commit suicide are disregarding life, and their souls will be trapped in the River Styx forever, wandering between heaven and earth, and will never be reincarnated.

A loquat tree in front of the palace of the Central Ghost Emperor was planted by the Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi in order to resurrect his cherished woman. A pot of Styx water every night contains the remaining vitality of the deceased.

Meng Lun already understood what Ji Yin meant.

The music box is probably also a way to collect vitality for Zhou Qi. After all, what the living still have is more effective than what is left of the dead.

"So, the person who broke the music box will ......" Meng Lun didn't want to say that direct word, but seeing Ji Cheng nodding, he immediately opened the door and rushed out.

The beast had a good sense of smell, and even when he turned into the noisy main street, he could distinguish the little boy's breath.

He was standing at an intersection waiting for the sidewalk light to turn green, and the music box was in a small paper bag given to him by Ji Cheng. As the carriageway turns from green to yellow, the crowd has begun to stir.

Some of those who couldn't wait had already stepped onto the road.

After the little boy was hit a few times, he obediently waited for the lights to turn green, but there were no pedestrians around at this time.

But at the moment when he took a small step, a car turned from the fork in the road next to it to the main road, and directly accelerated to turn right through the intersection, so frightened that Meng Lun immediately stepped forward and pulled the little boy back to the side of the road.

The wind from the speed of the car directly ruffled the hair of the two people.

The little guy also jumped, and when he looked up and saw that the person who helped him was someone from the shop, he immediately raised a smile and showed eight teeth, "Thank you, big brother." ”

"Why didn't you take the bus or subway?" Meng Lun led him across the street, "Do you live near here?" ”

"Mm-hmm, it's two more intersections to get there."

"Then I'll send you back." Meng Lun touched his head, "After all, you are too young to be alone." ”

The little boy blinked. According to my grandmother, I shouldn't have brought strangers home. But after thinking about it, this big brother and grandmother also knew each other, and it shouldn't be a stranger, so the little boy nodded his head twice.

The little one jumped in front, but he didn't notice that the face of the person behind him was getting more and more ugly.

Falling objects from high altitudes, car owners who didn't pay attention when reversing, if it weren't for Meng Lun's nerves that had been tense, I'm afraid that this child would be almost crippled if he didn't die.

This made him feel a chill down his spine: such a dangerous thing, why didn't she come to rent it for the first time?

"My parents have gone abroad, and I heard my grandmother say that she is not a brother country to dedicate." The little boy and his grandmother lived on the third floor of this small high-rise building, and while he climbed the stairs with his calves, he proudly said, "Mom and Dad are very good doctors." ”

"Yes, the people who can go there are not only skilled but also very dedicated." Meng Lun agreed, but when he subconsciously looked up, he saw an old woman who was about to open the door in front.

"Grandma!" The little one immediately quickened his pace and ran up, and then plunged into the old man's arms.

"My good grandson, where did you run away alone?" The old woman raised her eyes and saw the person standing on the stairs below, "Why is Mr. Meng here?" ”

"Grandma, I accidentally broke the boat inside the music box, so I went to the store where you bought the box." The little boy pointed at Meng Lun, "Big brother didn't worry about me coming back alone, so he sent me back." ”

"Really?" The old woman took the paper bag directly and took out the wooden box, "Where's the boat?" ”

"Another uncle said the boat was there for him."

Meng Lun saw that the old woman's somewhat nervous expression was obviously relaxed after the little boy's words came out, and then he heard her say to himself, "Since Mr. Meng is here, let's go into the house and have a cup of tea."

The old house is more than ten years ago, but due to the Chinese decoration style, the all-wood home decoration does not look outdated now. Meng Lun, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the old woman who came over with tea, "It's not the first time you've come to the store to rent a music box, do you know what it does?" ”

The old woman was obviously stunned, "I rented it just because on the day my boy was born, the old man rented this and came back." At that time, I almost lost my life, and my son and I survived listening to the music. ”

"But the voucher you brought to the store was you as the renter?"

"It was my son's serious illness at the time, and I went to rent it, thinking that he was born listening to this music, and if he listened to it again, his condition would definitely improve. And so it turns out. ”

This sounds like a music box that can heal people's bodies. Meng Lun was a little puzzled: such a box was not as terrible as he guessed, nor was it as mad as Ji Cheng advised.

In this way, it seems that everything that happened to the little boy on the way home was just a terrible coincidence.

"So you're renting it now because you still want to hear that song?" Meng Lun looked at the box in front of him and couldn't make any sound. ζ‰‹ζœΊη«― δΈ€η§’θ¨˜δ½γ€Žβ†’m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.

"I'm not in good health either. On the one hand, I want to listen to the memories of that year again, and on the other hand, I also have a glimmer of expectation: whether there is really a miracle happening. The old woman sat next to Meng Lun, "Xiaobao is still too young, and his parents are not in the country." ”

Meng Lun looked at her, although he was already gray-haired, he could see the softness of his youth, but his eyes were full of sadness. There seemed to be a hand in his chest that grabbed his heart, so he couldn't help but speak, "Mingyue......"

A somewhat surprised gaze pulled his consciousness back, making him subconsciously change his words, "...... Grandmother. ”

coughed lightly to cover up his mistake, "You should know, the mountains and seas pavilion are not ordinary things. I saw that you were a regular customer, so I rented it out. But the owner came back and he was angry, so ...... I'm here to retrieve the music box. ”

The old woman obviously didn't react, her fingers trembled and pointed to Xiaobao's room, "Xiaobao said just now that the boss asked him to get it back first." ”

"Yes, but that's because it's a child, and the boss doesn't want him to blame himself too much. That's why I came along. Meng Lun looked at her quietly, "You should know that if you damage the goods, the compensation you need to pay is very high." ”

The old woman looked at him with a complicated expression.

After a long time, she stood up and looked out the window, "I know, you can take it back later." It's getting late, would you like to have dinner with us? ”

Originally, according to Meng Lun's temperament, he would not and should not be too deeply involved with people, but his head still clicked after all.

"Need my help?"

"No, you don't." The old woman smiled, "But it's always been two or three people who eat together, so I'll only cook some simple meals, so please don't dislike it." ”
