"Where am I? What is this place? Why am I here? ”

"This is the Netherworld." Xing Ruyi walked up to the woman holding a clump of flowers on the other side: "Do you still recognize me?" ”

"Are you the shopkeeper of the Ruyi Rouge Shop?" The woman looked left and right: "What kind of place did you just say?" ”

"Netherworld, also called the underworld." Xing Ruyi hummed lightly and continued to explain: "It is also called the Hades Hall or Hell. How, isn't it a little more beautiful than you think? ”

"Did you kidnap me?" The woman looked at her hands and feet: "I'm telling you, I don't have much money." Yes, I'm a star, but I'm just starting to become popular, and most of the money I make has been taken by my economic company. I also got some money, not much, three or four hundred thousand, but all that money was used by me to buy things. If you don't believe me, you can check my bank card. Not only do I have no money, I owe a lot of money. Except for some major events, the company will come forward to help me buy the clothes, and I have to pay for the rest. Three or four hundred thousand, it sounds like a lot, but in our circle, it is just a bag that can barely be seen, or a dress. I don't really have any money. ”

"Kidnapping you? Am I like the kind of kidnapper that would kidnap people? Xing Ruyi handed over the bouquet of flowers on the other side: "This place is very big, you can move freely." No one will limit you, no one will care about you, you just don't overdo it, don't cross the line. ”

"Seriously?"

"Really." Xing Ruyi nodded: "You just came, and you also need to be familiar with the place." ”

The woman raised her foot and took two steps forward, then stopped, and looked around blankly: "You didn't lie to me, this is really the Netherworld?" ”

Xing Ruyi nodded.

"Am I dead?"

"Do you think a living person would appear in this place?"

"What about you? Are you dead too? ”

"Me?" Xing Ruyi put his hands behind his back, looked at the gorgeous flowers from the other side not far away, and said, "I don't know what form I am now." Say I'm alive, I'm like I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm alive again. ”

"Are you a youkai?" The woman asked a terrifying word.

"To be honest, I wish I was a youkai." Xing Ruyi squinted and smiled: "It's a pity, I'm not." ”

"How long have you been here?" The woman asked.

"It's been a long time." Xing Ruyi sat down casually, and beckoned to the woman: "Sit down, there is no one here, and even if there are people, few people will recognize you." ”

"Are you making fun of me?" The woman smiled bitterly: "I know, many people are making fun of me in private, saying that I am just a new young actor, but I have to pose as a big star everywhere." But I didn't do that, I didn't even pay any attention. I don't come from a professional background, I don't have a strong background, I don't know any investors, I have neither qualifications nor background, and if I want to speculate through normal means, no one will know me at all. I can only go off the beaten track and use notoriety to attract attention. I know that many people don't like me, but in a company, there are so many young and beautiful girls, and there are more girls squeezing in every year, if I don't think of a way, I will be eliminated soon. ”

"I don't mean to make fun of you, I just want to tell you that, in fact, life here is easier than living on it."

"Really?" The woman looked up into the distance: "It seems to be quiet here." ”

"There are also lively places, if you want to go, I can take you there."

"Thank you." The woman buried her head in her knees: "My father died when I was born, and my mother hated me and felt that it was because of my relationship that my father was short-sighted. She seemed to love my dad very much, and because of his death, she became mentally ill and was locked up in a hospital full of mental illnesses. My grandparents were very good to me, but from the time I was just sensible, I knew that I was different from other children, and those people talked about my family affairs openly and secretly. There are even people who say that I am not my mother's child at all, but my father and my aunt's child. They said I looked exactly like my dead aunt.

When I was younger, I didn't know what these words meant, but I knew that they weren't good words because the eyes of those people were full of hostility, mockery, and even jokes. ”

"I'm about the same, even more pitiful than you. In my memory, I don't seem to have met my parents, I only have one grandfather, but my grandfather also passed away when I was very young. Grandpa, Mom and Dad left me some inheritance, but I was surrounded by some relatives who wanted to take over my inheritance. As a last resort, I had no choice but to leave my hometown and go to live alone in a strange city.

At that time, I was conflicted. On the one hand, I am afraid of loneliness, I want to fit in with this society, I want to have friends, relatives, care, love. But on the other hand, I'm afraid of the excitement, I'm afraid of dealing with strangers, even if they're friendly to me. I don't know how to communicate with people, and I don't know how to maintain these relationships. So, I turned myself into a complete homebody. It wasn't until I met the fox in my life that the world became different. ”

"Fox?"

"It's my husband, I call him a fox."

"It's a very special nickname, but unfortunately, I didn't meet the person in my life until I died." The woman sighed: "Because I was born in the spring, my grandparents named me Xu Xiaochun." Xu Xiaochun, I don't like this name very much, as soon as I hear it, it is a child born in the village. Later, after arriving at the company, the agent gave me another name, Xu Miao, but my family didn't like it, they felt that this word was a big taboo. The deaths of my aunt, dad and even my mom were all related to water. ”

Xu Miao said, raised her head, and looked into the distance: "Will all the dead come to this place?" Then will I be able to see my mom and dad or my little aunt? I especially wanted to ask them why they brought me into this world when they thought I was superfluous. ”

"Except that there is no sun, there is actually not much difference from the above, there are towns, there are mountains, there are rivers, there are rich and poor, there are bullies and bullies and good people who are bullied. There are selfless ghosts, and there are ghosts who accept bribes, steal and play tricks, except for the difference in life forms, everything else is not bad. If you adapt well, you might like it. ”

"I don't care, I just pity my grandparents." Xu Miao blinked: "They must be very sad." ”

Xing Ruyi stared at Xu Miao for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember how you came here?" ”

"How did I get here?" Xu Miao rested her head on her chin again: "I remember, I seem to have received a notice to help a specialty store tailor." I actually don't want to go to this kind of event, but I can't help it, I lack money, and I need to make money to support my current life. ”

"Do you remember what happened after that?"

"The cutting ceremony was about eight o'clock in the morning, I got up at six o'clock to put on makeup, and then rushed to the tailoring store with my little assistant, and when I went out, it was about half past seven, and I remember that I looked at my phone at that time. Before getting in the car, I asked my assistant to buy breakfast for me, and then I ate a little bit and drank water in the car, and then I can't remember. ”

"Is it a tailoring ceremony?" Xing Ruyi took out his mobile phone and opened a page for Xu Miao to see.

It was a news page, and the content of the news was the picture of Xu Miao going to cut out the store. Xu Miao in the picture is radiant and seems to be more beautiful than usual.

"Did I go tailoring? I don't remember, my memory seems to be stuck in the car and drinking water. ”

"Have you seen what you look like now?"

"What's wrong with the way I look now?" Xu Miao asked suspiciously.

Xing Ruyi handed over a mirror, Xu Miao took it suspiciously, only glanced at it, and threw the mirror to the ground.

"There's something weird about this mirror, and it's not me that's reflected in it."

"Think it's a mirror problem?"

"It must be a matter of the mirror, what do I look like, I don't know myself?"

"There's a river over there, and the water is quite clear, so why don't you go wash your face and take a look." Xing Ruyi pointed casually, and Xu Miao really saw a shallow stream.

"It's a stream, not a river, and he says he's a kid who grew up in the country. There must be no river in your hometown. Seeing the creek, Xu Miao's mood seemed to be much better, she stood up and ran towards the creek.

Xing Ruyi followed and stood up, slowly following behind Xu Miao, she watched Xu Miao play in the water, watched Xu Miao bow her head and wash her face, and then washed and washed, so she didn't move: "This face? Isn't this face my little assistant's? Why...... Why...... Am I mistaken, or am I soul crossing? ”

"Did you buy two jars of peach cream?"

Xu Miao nodded.

"One can was bought from my Ruyi rouge shop, and where did the other one come from?"

"I don't know, but the assistant bought it for me, saying that it is a well-known brand specializing in ancient skin care. I checked, and there is indeed a sign. ”

"Did you use the jar of peach jelly that the assistant bought for you, and give the jar I sold you to your assistant?"

"It's not a gift, I'm just letting her use it." Xu Miao explained with some embarrassment.

"What about you? Did you use it? ”

"I didn't want to use it, you know, those of us who are female stars, face is more important than life. After returning from the rouge shop, I don't know what happened, and I had a lot of red rashes on my face. The little assistant came with the jar of peach cream and said that I should apply it as a mask. I tried it, but the next morning the rash faded and my skin seemed to become much more delicate. Later, when she asked me to use it again, I didn't object. Does my face have anything to do with the jar of peach cream I use? ”

"You, you may have been calculated by your little assistant!" Xing Ruyi looked at Xu Miao's face and said softly.
