Chapter 053 - Lady Xiang (15)
"Who are you?"
"I'm the ghost who brought you to the underworld."
"What the hell?" Guo Hua looked at the young man in front of him who was dyed with green hair, dressed loosely, and looked like a bad youth: "Can the ghost grow like you?" ”
"What's wrong with me like this? Isn't it handsome? Xiao Lu stroked his hair: "Besides, what does the ghost have to look like to look like the ghost cha?" ”
"This-" Guo Hua thought about it carefully, and what came to mind was the classic black-and-white image of impermanence in the TV series.
"Do you think I should wear a white coat and a tall tricorne, and then have to hang my long tongue?" Xiao Lu gestured to himself: "It's the 21st century, and the underworld must also keep pace with the times." I'm telling you, this dwelling is much more fun than the earth. If you don't believe me, you can go down with me and have a look. ”
"I'm not going!" Guo Hua took half a step back: "People only have to go to the underworld when they die, I live well, why do I go to that kind of ghost place with you." ”
"Doing well?" Xiao Lu shook his head: "Half an hour ago, you may have been alive and well, but now, you are dead." While it's still hot, hurry down with me. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, you're dead, you're a ghost now!"
"You're a ghost, your whole family is a ghost!"
"That's right, I'm a ghost, of course I'm a ghost, and my family is basically gone, rounding it up, what you said is not wrong." Xiao Lu shook the soul chain in his hand: "Oh, do you go with me by yourself, or will I forcibly take you away." ”
"Bad guy, you're bad guy." Guo Hua turned around and ran as she spoke, but after running a few steps, she stopped, because she saw a door, a huge black door. On the door, there are three words written: "Ghost Gate".
She first broke her brain, and then her thoughts were like a movie, showing all the previous scenes. In the end, she came to the conclusion that she was dead, and that she had fallen to her death from the balcony of her house. She is now a ghost, and she is still a ghost who has been captured by a ghost and is trying to escape.
She stood in front of the ghost gate in a daze, recalling her life blankly, and suddenly squatted down, covering her face and crying.
"What are you crying for, isn't it just death, people live for a hundred years, and they have to go through such a thing when they arrive."
"I don't want to die."
"It's rare, there are a few people who want to die here, but people, there is life and death. Listen to your brother, you have to learn to accept it calmly. ”
"I don't want to die!" Guo Hua shouted loudly: "I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die." ”
"So what to do, if you don't want to die, you're already dead." Xiao Lu spread his hands: "I used to have this kind of mood you have now." But after I get used to staying in the underworld, I don't think there's anything wrong with dying early. Judging by the way you look, you shouldn't be married yet, right? At least you have escaped the conflict between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the hard work of giving birth to a baby, raising a baby, raising a baby and tutoring the baby's homework, the possible betrayal of your husband, the pressure of your son's marriage, the pressure of bringing a baby to your son, and the suffering of being disliked by your daughter-in-law. When you think about it, don't you feel much better? ”
"I haven't been in a relationship yet!" Guo Hua sobbed and said: "I originally thought that I still had a lot of time, a lot of time, I could finish my studies and work first, and then find a man to fall in love." As a result, I worked hard for more than 20 years, I haven't got my college diploma yet, my job has just begun, and my boyfriend hasn't been shadowed yet, so I'm dead! I'm dead! ”
"What if you get a college diploma? Can you find a job that suits you? Can you get the right income from that job? Can you deal with the strife in the workplace, do you fight for me? If you want to work, you can do it in the underworld. Let me tell you, there are some above, there are below, as long as you want, you can find a job anytime and anywhere, and you can also be admitted to the prefectural civil service like me. There is one more thing that cannot be compared to the above. On it, if you don't work, if you don't make money, you will starve. But below, even if you don't work and make money, you won't starve to death, at most you can't live a life of luxury as you like. I haven't been in love, this one is really sadistic enough. That's it, what about me, I haven't talked about it, you have to see that I'm okay, let's try to talk about it, make up for the regrets that both sides have had? ”
"Who's going to talk to you, you're not my type."
"It's really shocking, okay, then what you say you like, as long as you can say it, I can find it for you." Xiao Lu patted his chest: "Now, can you go back with me?" ”
Guo Hua thought for a moment and nodded. When he got up, he saw the three words on the ghost door and asked Xiao Lu: "Does the ghost door have this virtue?" ”
"I don't know what the ghost gate looks like in your eyes, but in my eyes, he's a broken door."
"Breaking the door?"
"Break down. Oh, I forgot to explain it to you. Some of the things in this underworld are figurative, and some are virtual. To put it bluntly, it's what you think about what it looks like, and that's what it looks like. ”
"So, you mean, the ghost gate I see is not necessarily the ghost gate you see?"
"The children can be taught." Xiao Lu took the soul chain: "Let's go, I'm still waiting for you to register." ”
Guo Hua didn't know the way, so he could only follow Xiaolu forward.
"Your name is Midori?"
"It's not!" Xiao Lu stroked her hair: "My name is Xiao Lu because I dye my hair green now." ”
"Then you dye your hair red, don't you want to be called Xiaohong?"
"I haven't really thought about it." Xiao Lu frowned: "Xiao Lu's title was given to me by my sister, and after hearing it, I thought it was okay, so I called it away." As for my original name, it's not good, so don't say it. By the way, how did you die? Look at you, it looks like you fell to your death. ”
Guo Hua's body trembled slightly and closed his eyes.
"I'm a senior at Los Angeles Normal University, and although it's a normal school, our school, like other schools, is going out for an internship in my senior year. In the past, the internship of students in normal schools was arranged by the school, and they usually went to some elementary schools in the surrounding area to teach teachers or something. But now, there are many normal schools and more students, and the schools can't be arranged at all.
Of course, there are some places where you can intern, but those places are very remote, even more remote than my hometown. I finally got to the city through studying, how could I go back to that kind of place again, even if it was just a temporary internship, I didn't want to.
I don't have a background, I don't have a relationship, I can't find a suitable school internship in the city, even those training institutions, they will also ask for experienced teachers. Later, I figured out that I don't necessarily have to be a teacher to get into college, but I have a diploma and a stepping stone, and the ultimate goal is to work and make money, or to make myself live in this city.
When others go to college, they are busy falling in love and socializing, and I work as hard as I did in high school. When others were spending the first month, I obtained the accounting certificate through self-study. Then I got a job as a cashier with this accounting certificate. It's the cashier, the treasurer is not the cashier at the front desk. The salary is okay, the treatment is okay, the key is the working environment, which is relatively comfortable. ”
Guo Hua said, pausing.
"At the end of the day, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. This season, the mall is busy, and I need to reconcile the day's accounts before I can leave work. Overtime is the norm, but it is not aggrieved, after all, there is overtime pay, and there is air conditioning in the office, which is more comfortable.
I remember that when I left the mall, it was about half past eight in the evening, and it took about fifteen minutes from the mall to the neighborhood where I was renting, and plus the time I waited for the bus, it was almost nine o'clock when I got home.
I sat for a while, swiped my phone, and then went to take a shower. I rented a house with my high school classmates, but she didn't come back often, so it was no different from living alone. After taking a shower, I washed my changed clothes and took them to the balcony to dry. ”
"You're not going to fall while you're drying clothes, are you?" Midori's eyes widened and she asked.
"Am I like that kind of clumsy person?" Guo Hua was a little angry: "Besides, just stand on the balcony to dry clothes, there is such a high railing outside, I just need some skill if I want to accidentally fall down." ”
"Then how did you fall, and how did you fall to your death?"
"I-" Guo Hua frowned: "I don't remember exactly." I just remember that I washed a lot of clothes and wanted to go back to brush my shoes after hanging them up. Just as I was finishing brushing my shoes and about to take them to the balcony, I heard movement in the side bedroom. ”
"It's not normal to have movement, and you don't live alone."
But Du Fang was not there, she went on a date with her boyfriend. Du Fang was my high school classmate who rented with me, and she had a boyfriend, who was kind of rich, and had a house in that upscale neighborhood not far from us. With a high-end house, who still lives in that kind of broken community. Du Fang spends most of her time at her boyfriend's house, only coming back when there is an occasional quarrel. ”
"Maybe she went out and came back, but she didn't tell you."
"I thought so at first, because I heard whispers, and it was the sound of men and women talking. I was a little angry at the time, because we agreed that if we wanted to go on a date, we would go out with the man and not bring the other person into the house. It's all a girl's house, and it's not appropriate to bring a man back for the night, and it doesn't feel very comfortable.
I walked out of the bathroom with my shoes in my hand, thinking of knocking on Du Fang's door, but when I got to the door, I couldn't get down. I'm embarrassed if they're there. After thinking about it again and again, I decided to wait for dawn to talk to Du Fang about this matter. ”
"You two tore your faces, and then you were pushed down by Du Fang?"
"I haven't seen Du Fang at all." Guo Hua stomped his feet and said.
