"By the way, Xin'er, I just remembered one thing, why are the people in our family gone?" I curled up in the quilt and asked, I wasn't sleepy yet, just drank a little wine, and my head was a little dizzy.

"Being squeezed by Yang Guang is so difficult to protect himself, how can he still be able to hire people?" Xin'er also got into the quilt and continued, "Didn't you join the rebel army in the first place? This rebel army should have threatened Yang Guang, and he later put pressure on us defenseless women, children and old people, some of whom were arrested to take care of the soldiers, and some were even arrested to kill the enemy, playing the role of a strong man, isn't it absurd? Fortunately, my father knew some officials during his years as an official, and our family was saved from being forcibly requisitioned to do things, but almost all of the family's food and savings were handed over, and there was not much left. My father's jewelry shop also closed down, and all the gold, silver and jewelry in it were robbed, and those people were no different from bandits, except in the name of the imperial court. ”

After listening to these words, I instantly felt a lot more sober, I had to kill Yang Guang early, otherwise I wouldn't know what to squeeze the people of Li into in the future? I thought indignantly.

"Of the original subordinates of our family, one was arrested, two escaped, and the remaining ones were all dismissed, and the family has no spare money." Xin'er said.

"Isn't that hard for you? The big and small things in the family are all up to you alone. ”

"What's the hard work? This is what I should do, you are fighting outside, I must take care of the affairs of the family, and my father and mother have to work hard. ”

I rolled over and stretched out my hand to hug Xin'er, "Thank you for your hard work, then you can enjoy it at home, I want to compensate you doubly." ”

Xin'er smiled and said, "Then you can say it!" ”

"Of course. Let's sleep. ”

……

I don't know when, my eyes were cloudy, I gently got out of bed, walked into the mist, I saw two familiar faces - black and white impermanence. Bai Wuchang was full of smiles, tall and thin, with a pale complexion, a long tongue in his mouth, and the official hat on his head had the words "Fortune at first sight" written on it; Black Impermanence has a fierce face, a wide body, a fat body, a short stature, and a dark complexion, which is in stark contrast to Bai Impermanence, and the words "The World is Peaceful" are written on the official hat of Black Impermanence.

Two men walked up to me with ankle cuffs and shackles in their hands, "Long time no see, old friend." They greeted me, and through the meager moonlight, I saw their hideous faces again, and I was really frightened.

I stammered in response, "What are you two doing here?" ”

"On the orders of Lord Yama, I want to take you to the Netherworld." Bai Wuchang replied.

"Take me?" I wondered, "I live a good life in the world, why did you take me to the underworld?" Are you mistaken? ”

"Your longevity is over, and you should have gone to hell, but you haven't come for a long time, so we have come to absorb your soul on the orders of Lord Yama." Black impermanence said.

"No, no, I'm in my early thirties at most, how come my longevity is over? You must be mistaken. I hurriedly said, "There must be someone with the same name and surname who is dying, you are looking for the wrong person, definitely not me." ”

Black and white impermanence approached step by step, and they said in unison: "We must be you, we are old friends, how can we recognize the wrong person?" ”

I stepped back quickly, "Two eldest brothers, I haven't done any bad karma in my life, just let me go, I still have to take care of my elderly parents, take care of my mother and young children, please let me go, if I have something wrong, please point it out one by one, I will correct it in the future." I said in a pleading tone. I really don't want to go back to heaven at a young age, the most important thing is that I can't rest assured that my family, I haven't enjoyed life yet!

"You have already committed a big taboo before you were reincarnated without drinking Meng Po soup, what else is there to say?" The black impermanence looked at me viciously, and his strange and empty eyes made my heart furious.

"You have also participated in numerous battles, killing many people, both directly and indirectly." Bai Wuchang added on the side.

"Fighting is a matter of my own volition, and I am not willing, this is not forced by the current situation, this really can't blame me." I struggled to explain.

"Needless to say, you just have to come with us." Black and white impermanence approached me as he spoke, the shackles and shackles they held in their hands seemed to have their eyes open, and they were glaring at me angrily, ready to attack, I stepped back vigorously, "Stay away from me, I won't go with you!" I said.

"It's up to you." They came running towards me.

I didn't hesitate at all, I quickly opened the door and ran out, I must get rid of them, I thought to myself, I can't die yet, I can't die, I promised Xin'er to take good care of her in the future.

After running for a while, I looked back and found that black and white impermanence was closely following me, running hard for so long, and I didn't even open up a little distance, I felt more and more frightened, silently exerting my strength, running forward with all my strength, and I didn't care where I ran, as long as I could get rid of black and white impermanence.

Gradually, I ran into a bamboo forest, which became more and more bleak under the bleak moonlight, and the road along the way became narrower and narrower. I ran out of the bamboo forest and into a more deserted place, with strange rocks, and none of the trees around me were straight, all of them were curved, and the bends were very regular, and they all grew in one direction in front of me. The birds in the trees suddenly scattered in all directions, and after a while they were gathered and hovered overhead, and their cries were so sharp that they sounded like they were shouting someone's name, and it was not a crow. At this time, there are some other sounds, all of which are very sharp, and in this environment, no matter what the sound is, it seems extremely terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that I can feel the breathing of people around me, I can't see people, but I can feel it clearly. Laughter, and loud laughter sounded all around, coming from a distance, and the further you ran, the clearer you heard.

After running for a long time, I was already out of breath, my legs began to weaken, and I was not wearing a coat on my body, only thin underwear, and my body was becoming more and more unbearable to run wild for so long in this cold night. My head was a little dizzy, panting and panting, I felt like I was going to die at any moment, my face, my body was cold, the snot in my nose was already pouring out, my eyes were starting to get wet, my nose was not enough, my mouth was wide open to breathe......

As soon as I turned my head, I found that the black and white impermanence behind me was still chasing me, the distance was still not extended, it seemed that the distance had not changed, the two of them did not show the slightest discomfort, on the contrary, I could feel that they were running more and more excited, as if enjoying the pleasure of chasing their prey, I was the humble and weak prey.

"Please, please, don't, don't chase me." I struggled to squeeze out a sentence.

"Obediently restrain your hands, let us take you to the Netherworld." They responded behind me.

"I, I really don't want to, throw, abandon my home, family, people......" Suddenly, I tripped over a stone in front of me, and I couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, let alone such a small stone.

Black and white impermanence stopped and slowly approached me, "Run, old friend, keep running." They scoffed.

I crawled forward with difficulty, all my hands touched were wet, a little sticky, I curiously raised my hand in front of my eyes to look closely, like blood stains, I put it under my nose and sniffed gently, a smell of blood filled my entire nasal cavity, and spread from the nasal cavity to the inside, I couldn't stand it, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't crawl forward anymore. They grabbed me by the leg and shackled me, "Don't, don't, I'm not going to hell with you, I'm going back, let me go." "I tried to break free from their cold hands, but to no avail.

"Let's go, old friend!" They lifted me up from the ground, pushed me forward, and sneered, "You're pretty good at running, running in the direction of the Netherworld, which just saves us time." In the past, people who were dying walked slowly, and by the way, let them take a few more glances at everything in the world, you were relieved, and it also saved us a long time. ”

I scolded myself in my heart for being stupid, no wonder they weren't in a hurry to chase me when I ran, it turned out that I was running in the direction of the Netherworld, what a stupidity!

"There are still a dozen steps to go." They said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing that we have completed the task assigned by Lord Yama and you have already been reborn?" ”

No, I can't just leave my family. I thought to myself, and struggled to break free from their restraints, and because I was in the shackles on my feet, I had to jump forward to escape. Black and white impermanence didn't take a few steps to catch up with me, and their cold and powerful hands firmly grabbed me, "Let go of me!" I yelled at them.

"Be honest, otherwise we're really going to be rude to you." They warned me.

"Let go of me!" I roared again.

"Let go of me!" I yelled hoarsely.

"Xiao Sheng, what's wrong with you?" Someone was calling me and shaking my body vigorously.

I opened my eyes with great difficulty, Xin'er, it was Xin'er calling me, it turned out to be a dream just now, it scared me to death, I thought I was really going to die, oh my God, my little heart can't bear this kind of nightmare, it's too realistic.

"Xiao Sheng, what did you just call? What about dreaming? Xin'er asked with concern.

"Well, I had a nightmare that almost scared me to death." I replied with trepidation.

"What nightmare?"

"I dreamed that black and white impermanence was asking for my life, and I had been with them for a long time, and it really scared me to death."

Xin'er snuggled up to me and said softly, "You must be too tired to have such a nightmare." ”

"Maybe."

"Do you want to hire a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits tomorrow?" Xin'er asked.

"No, no, I should be too tired, it's okay." I hugged Xin'er, "Go to sleep, it's okay." ”
