Chapter 36: Guest
After dispersing this meeting, I saw that Bai Wuchang had no intention of summoning me. I also planned to continue shopping, and Zhang Zicheng actually invited me to his house. This is quite new, in the old understanding; Ghosts are all loners, and there are not only cities and cities here; You can also start a family and raise a little ghost...... Curiosity sparked at once.
Follow the family around the city, and ghosts greet them along the way. It seems that he has lived here for a long time, and occasionally encounters ghosts in the city, the height of these ghosts is basically taller than the average ghost, because there is no transportation such as cars in the underworld, and the roads in the city are as narrow as small alleys in the sun. But when the ghost messenger passed by me, he seemed to know that I was also a bad guy; After saluting each other, quickly signal not to stop in the middle of the road.
It can be counted as Zhang Zicheng's house, which is actually a small courtyard. There was also furniture inside, and I was worried that the chair would collapse when I was asked to sit down. After all, I always felt that these things were all paper burned; It turned out to be wooden.
"Lord Engong came to the house, but I didn't entertain him; It is the things of the hidden capital that cannot be touched. After I sat down, Zhang Zicheng bowed to me.
I hurriedly waved my hand, these things are still good without eating or drinking: "Brother Zhang is too polite." I also met some ghost officials before, and they said that they could not remember the things in the world for a long time. Big brother can still remember his name? ”
"Don't hide it from Engong, the name of the yang world has also been forgotten. Later, when I used to return to the yang room, I checked many ways and found out my name before I was alive. ”
It seemed that the main topic was coming, and I turned around and looked directly at the polite ghost in front of me: "Then the eldest brother should also remember a lot of things, what can I serve?" ”
Zhang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then showed shame: "It is worthy of being a lord, I was a private school gentleman who died in the war of the Republic of China, and then became an envoy in a mess; Due to the reasons for handling the case, he returned to the yang world many times. Also remembered a lot of things, I did everything possible to find my wife. We had a daughter together in the underworld, but the whereabouts of our children in the underworld are unknown......"
You can't ask me to find someone, right? Where can I find this? I also took over the conversation: "Brother Zhang, the Republic of China is not short from now, if I say something that I don't like to hear, have you looked for it in this underworld?" ”
Later, life forced both children to go astray. Before he could pass through the hall in the underworld, he was already in ashes. As he spoke, Zhang Zicheng's face was covered with sadness.
It's not easy to find someone, it's only one thing to come to me. Thinking of this, I spoke: "Brother Zhang, don't you want your brother to paint his children's pictures?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zicheng immediately pulled his wife and children to kneel: "My lord, I know this is a reluctant invitation; But the little couple thinks about it day and night like ants devouring bones......"
I quickly helped them up as a family of three. There were tears in the corners of the eyes of the two of them, but the little ghost looked at the couple with a confused expression. Scratching my head, I finally said the question in my heart: "Brother Zhang, it's no problem to be busy." Forgive my brother for his ignorance, and dare to ask my eldest brother: Is this child adopted by you? ”
Zhang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the little ghost tenderly with his wife: "Engong, this child is not adopted. It was born to me and my wife in the underworld, and her name is Zhang Moling. Seeing my suspicious face, Zhang Zicheng continued: "Engong doesn't know, when the yin ghost has a ghost life, it becomes a ghost. When you become a ghost, you can get married and have children in the underworld, and have your own house and family. When the ghost life is at the end of its life, we will start to go to the reincarnation gate to perform reincarnation. Hades will reclaim the house and redistribute it to new ghosts. ”
Oops, I'll go. This distribution cow, you don't have to pay the mortgage? Don't worry about rent, utilities, and property fees......
"Engong, Engong......" Seeing that I was stunned, Zhang Zicheng called softly. I quickly slid over:
"It's okay, I'm thinking that Brother Zhang now has a family in the underworld, why should he be so obsessed with the past?"
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Ghosts originate from people's obsessions; Maybe we relied on this obsession to survive the three disasters and nine tribulations and become ghosts...... After learning that they were gone, I rarely went to the yang world again. I felt that I should let go of some things, so I didn't look for any more descendants......"
"Maybe you're afraid of being sad, right? When you see the descendants of your own children, do you think of the separation and the endlessness of that time? But I don't know what your daughter and son look like, this is a bit difficult to write. I took his words and said, also saying some troubles.
"Engong is worthy of being a bad guy, and he can see our hearts at a glance." After saying that, he put his hand on the mouth of his heart; Buckled and pulled, a red line was pulled out of his heart. I know this too well, and it was the same when Lord Chenghuang gave me the waist card to enter the soul before. He put the end of the thread on my hand: "Engong, this is the appearance of my children in my memory." ”
Watching the red line slowly imprint on my wrist, my mind began to look like two children.
