Zhizhi was lying in the dilapidated mountain temple, and she looked at the hole in the roof above the mountain temple with her empty eyes open. The rain fell down the holes and hit her.

The torn clothes have no way to keep out the cold, but the cold in the body is never as cold as the cold in the heart.

She didn't understand why such a cruel thing happened to her, and she didn't understand that she treated every god and Buddha devoutly, and even worshiped the mountain god when she passed by this mountain temple. Just as she got up and was about to rest, the unexpected happened. Those who were also passing by and entering the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain had bad intentions towards her, and she begged bitterly, but those people did not let her go, and the mountain god did not come to save her.

She knew that none of this was her fault, and she tried to get up, trying to cover herself up with her tattered clothes, but then those who had entered the mountain temple to avoid the rain did not let her go. Men insult her with presumptuous eyes and presumptuous hands, and women humiliate her with vicious words. Obviously, not long ago, she was a girl from a good family, but because of humiliation, she became the kind of dirty girl in their eyes.

Zhizhi feels that although the world is good, there is no place for her to be nostalgic.

She lay quietly on the ground, waiting for death to come.

Outside the mountain temple, there was the sound of a car wheeling. Zhizhi knew that there were passers-by who wanted to enter this dilapidated temple because they were sheltering from the rain. Her heart trembled slightly, and her body stiffened without the slightest reaction.

She heard footsteps. The footsteps, at first, were fast, but then disappeared. She didn't need to look, she also knew that the other party had seen her, and was standing at the door of the mountain temple and watching. Perhaps, he was thinking about his next move. She closed her eyes in resignation, but felt a hint of warmth.

When I opened my eyes, I met a pair of equally hollow and indifferent eyes.

The eyes quickly flashed, and he got up and quickly stepped aside.

This man, this man who didn't have any emotion in his eyes, did more emotional things than those men before him. He took off his coat and draped it over her. He was careful not to touch himself, and he dodged his gaze somewhere else.

The cold heart, which was about to freeze, had a little bit of warmth.

It turns out that there are still good people in this world.

Without saying a word, the man left the mountain temple. She listened to the sound of the fading wheels, and her body became colder and colder. She thought that if there was an afterlife, she would definitely make a promise to repay the man's gift of clothes.

Wake up again, the moon is full in the middle of the sky. She stood in front of the mountain god blankly, looking up at his somewhat hideous face. When she turned around, she saw herself lying on the ground.

"Me, am I dead?"

"Yes, you're dead."

"Who? Who's answering me? ”

"It's me, I'm the mountain spirit, the mountain spirit wandering in this mountain forest. I'm tired of being a mountain spirit, and you're tired of being a person, so I grew up with you, and you became me. ”

"Mountain spirits?"

"Yes, I'm a mountain spirit. To repay you, I can fulfill one of your wishes. ”

"I want to marry the man who dressed me for three years, and I only need to be his wife for three years, and I should repay him for his kindness to me today."

"Okay, I promise you." The voice spoke, and it drove her soul back into her body.

A flash of red light flashed, and she knew that she was one with the mountain spirit that had attached her.

She found the man and knew that his name was Gao Sheng, and he was a man who helped people catch a car and deliver goods. She quietly followed behind him, and used a trick to turn a list posted at the city gate into herself. At first, she was just playing a prank, wanting to see what would happen to him if he knew he was dead. Seeing the slightly regretful look in his eyes, she knew that he was a good person, a good person who was still thinking about himself in his heart.

So, she returned to the desolate mountain temple and waited quietly. Finally, on that rainy day a few days later, she waited for him to enter the temple again. She smiled, took out the dress that had been collected for a long time, and asked him if he would like to marry her as a lady.

He hesitated, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded.

She became his wife, he became her husband, and they lived in the courtyard he had built with his own hands, living a quiet and ordinary life as ordinary people.

The stronger the mountain spirit's strength, the weaker her body became, and in his eyes, it was the appearance of Lao Ai's illness. Three years, long and short, used to his company, his good, she was a little reluctant to leave him.

When Gao Sheng went out to make deliveries, Laipi, who lived in the village, came to the door. He tried to do something to her, but she knocked him out. She looks weak, but no matter how weak she is, she is also possessed by a mountain spirit, an ordinary mortal, how can she be her opponent.

It's just that she didn't expect that Gao Sheng would come back with a charm.

The charms were used to exorcise demons, and she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh. When she brought the bowl, she asked Gao Sheng, do you want her to drink? Gao Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Drink, drink, your illness can be cured." ”

She smiled and drank the bowl of potion with the charm.

She didn't want to make him sad and make him feel too guilty. She understands that her husband is still a mortal after all, and he also hides his own fears and fears deep in his heart. She procrastocrasized until she couldn't hold it anymore, and her soul and the mountain spirit left her body.

The night she was about to leave, she heard him crying, so sad and desperate.

But, what's the use, between her and him, it was originally the fate of husband and wife.

Zhizhi doesn't want to go to the underworld, and she doesn't want to wander the world as a lonely ghost. She gave her two souls and six souls to the mountain spirit, leaving one soul and one soul, which turned into the rose on the grave, and enticed Gao Sheng to take her home, plant it in the yard, and guard it every day.

What Zhizhi didn't expect was that Gao Sheng actually fetched well water to irrigate these flowers. There are demons in the well, and the water in the well is also contaminated with evil spirits, and over time, these roses have also changed.

People will inevitably make the same mistake, that is, hesitate before doing something that they know they will regret, but they will still hesitate to do it, and after doing it, they will start to really regret it, and then blame themselves and continue to make mistakes.

Gao Sheng is like this, he had already guessed that Zhizhi was not a human before he married Zhizhi, but at that time, he didn't care. He has been alone for too long, and he has something to look forward to when he watches other people's families live affectionately and affectionately. After marrying Zhizhi, although he was not rich and rich, he was also smooth, and his small life was enviable. When he met that Taoist priest and heard those words of those Taoist priests, he hesitated. Because he was afraid, he was afraid that the longer he stayed with Zhizhi, the more reluctant he was to let her leave, and he was afraid that if he stayed with Zhizhi for a long time, he would be hurt. He knew that the charm given by the Taoist priest might harm his wife, but he still brought it back, and still gave Zhizhi to drink it as the Taoist priest said.

Zhizhi left, he regretted it, he felt guilty, he hated himself, but at this time, when he heard the words of that Laipi, he naturally sprinkled his resentment on the heads of others, and attributed Zhizhi's departure to the heads of others. Because only in this way can he face up to the pain in his heart and find someone who can take the blame for the mistakes he has made.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the real choice has always been in his own hands.

Gao Sheng was beaten to the point of being seriously injured, and crawled back home with his last breath, he had thought of dying in those roses, but he accidentally climbed to the well. Before his life died, he made a deal with the demon and turned himself into a walking corpse.

Later, the Gao family moved to a new household, and the daughter's name was also Zhizhi, and she looked seven or eight points similar to his previous mother. To make matters worse, my daughter plucked those roses on the first day she moved in. Possessed by evil energy, it awakens the ascension that has become a walking corpse.

Some of the words Gao Sheng and Xing Ruyi said were his real memories, and some were the result of his imagination.

Gao Sheng sat in front of his wife's grave for a long time, said a lot of nonsense, and before the sun set, he stood up again and filled in the soil that he had thrown out with his own hands.

"Your lady is dead, you just saw it." Xing Ruyi pointed to the re-raised grave bag: "Your memory is confused, you haven't married a new lady." Now, Gao Sheng, can you tell me where you hid the other Zhizhi? ”

Gao Sheng first covered his head, looking particularly painful. After a long time, he stood up, looked at Xing Ruyi and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry for letting you follow me for this trip in vain." I remembered, I remembered it all. My lady died, and I killed her. There is indeed a woman in the village who is happy for her husband, but she is not mine, but the one who tried to hurt Zhizhi. She died, killed by the woman in the well. Her blood dripped into the flowers, and the flowers began to sway, exuding bursts of floral fragrance, and blooming more and more delicately. That little girl, also named Zhizhi, looks seven or eight points similar to my lady. I thought it was my Zhizhi who came back to me. Am I crazy? ’

"You're not crazy, it's just that there are intermittent continuity errors in memory." Xing Ruyi was embarrassed to tell Gao Sheng that the reason why his memory was confused and deviated was because he had changed from a living person to a walking corpse. The brain structure of the walking corpse is different from that of the living. The memory of the living can still be skewed, and the walking corpse remembers it wrong, which is too normal.

Gao Sheng did not return to Gaozhai, and after leaving the ancestral tomb of the Gao family, he disappeared.

On the day Xiao Zhizhi was found, Xing Ruyi learned another thing from Zhizhi Niang's mouth. It turned out that Xiao Zhizhi's big name was Shang Yuzhi, and she also had an older sister named Shang Jingzhi. My sister disappeared a few years ago and has not been found.

On the way back, Xing Ruyi hugged the large pile of roses picked back from Gao's house and asked the fox: "Is the one who married Gao Sheng Shang Yuzhi's sister Shang Jingzhi?" Because they are sisters, they are seven or eight points similar in appearance, and the reason why Shang Yuzhi and her mother rented this courtyard of the Gao family is also the arrangement of her sister. ”

The fox didn't answer Xing Ruyi's questions, but just touched her head lightly and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep, and I'll go back to the shop in a while." ”
