20.0107 Bedtime Stories

It's a pawnshop, a very unusual pawnshop.

From the center of the lintel, it is divided into two sections. The left side is as black as ink, and the right side is as white as snow.

There is a plaque hanging on the door, on which there is only a big "dang" word, which is as red as blood.

The man in the cloak walked in slowly, through the counter, and his voice was low: "Are you a pawnshop buddy?" ”

It was a woman's voice, soft and beautiful.

The pawnshop guy who was resting on the counter got up and looked at the cloaked man with some strange looks.

There were a lot of people in this pawnshop, but no one was in the mood to ask irrelevant questions.

Because this is a pawnshop for life and death, what should be life is life, and the price that cannot be redeemed is naturally death.

In the face of life and death, who will have extra curiosity?

The cloaked man lifted his cloak, revealing a beautiful face, but his eyes were empty and slightly dazed.

She looked at the pawnshop guy, and there was a trace of curiosity in her blank eyes: "What about the pawnshop shopkeeper?" ”

The man shook his head, "This pawnshop doesn't have a shopkeeper." ”

The woman rolled her eyes: "Then who are you working for?" ”

The man's chin was propped up, he had never thought about it. It seems that since he was conscious, he has been sitting here, greeting the visitors of the Three Realms and Six Realms. However, no one ever asked him this question, and no one told him the answer.

So he thought about it for a long time, but he was still at a loss.

The woman waited patiently for the pawnshop guy's answer, and the pawnshop guy was confused in his thoughts.

After a long time, the pawnshop guy suddenly woke up: "Is it important to ask what these irrelevant things do?" ”

"Seems to be important." The woman struggled to recall, and shook her head again: "It shouldn't be important, I don't remember." ”

The pawnshop guy has never been a very patient person, and he has been delayed for a long time today. So he stared at the woman seriously, "Do you want to do business?" ”

The woman nodded, "Well, I'm going to do business." ”

The pawnshop of life and death, when it is life, what you get is any wish that can be satisfied within the value of this life. This pawnshop connects the Three Realms, but it is not open to everyone. Finding this pawnshop requires perseverance, perseverance, and serendipity.

Life is precious, so even the elderly in their last years can fulfill many wishes that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve in this pawnshop. Like, being an emperor. Although he may have died violently on the second day of his accession to the throne.

The pawnshop guy nodded, "What do you want?" ”

The woman whispered, "I'm looking for someone." ”

Isn't this requirement too simple? Is it worth using your life to find someone?

The pawnshop guy looked at the woman's face without a trace of hesitation and gave up the question. Maybe it's worth it.

"Looking for whom?" The pawnshop guy asked.

The woman replied quickly this time, and almost subconsciously blurted out, "Xia worm." ”

As soon as the name came out, her tears began to roll down as if a thread had been broken. There wasn't much expression on her face, but tears were rolling down.

"Why are you crying?" This question should not have been asked, but the pawnshop guy still asked.

"I don't know. I don't remember. The woman shook her head slightly, reaching out to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't wipe them clean.

The pawnshop guy lowered his head and wrote a name in the account book, Xia Worm.

After a while, the guy looked up in surprise: "This matter is difficult, your life is not enough." ”

"I don't remember why I wanted to find him, but I do, I have to find him." The woman burst into tears and said calmly, "How far can you go?" ”

The pawnshop guy looked down for a while, "Just enough to get you to where he appeared last a hundred years ago." ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." ”

The pawnshop guy has seen countless people who come to this pawnshop, some gritting their teeth, some impassioned, some looking at death as home, and some with tears in their eyes. But no one has ever been so calm.

She nodded calmly, and the guy had no reason to refuse.

So he opened the account book again, began to record the business, and picked up the pen, but suddenly stopped.

"This is the tenth time you've been here?"

The woman looked at him with teary eyes and said softly, "I don't know. ”

The man was silent, of course he knew why the woman didn't know, didn't remember. According to the account books, she came to the same person nine times, and she did not come to redeem her life nine times. That is, the ninth life has passed.

Above the Yellow Spring, on the Nai He Bridge, on the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po Soup.

After drinking Meng Po soup, who can never forget the past?

And this woman has always had this obsession and always remembers this person. Every time I come back, I have gone through a lot of hardships to find a pawnshop for life and death, and I have come to find this person.

Today, it is the tenth generation.

Who is the summer worm?

For some reason, the pawnshop guy suddenly envied this man. This man has only a name, no trace.

In this pawnshop, I have seen countless people in the Three Realms and done countless businesses, but who will remember himself?

"You're already in the tenth life." The pawnshop guy said in a deep voice, "If you can't redeem it this time, there will be terrible consequences." ”

The woman nodded, "Got it." ”

She didn't know why she was going to find someone named Xia Worm, but it seemed to be a name engraved in the depths of her soul. Calling to her all the time, calling to her.

The pawnshop guy frowned: "The result is very likely, it will be gone." ”

As a pawnshop guy of life and death, he only knows that the tenth life is a boundary, and if the tenth life comes here, it will have terrible consequences. This horror was deeply rooted in his heart, and his soul was trembling. However, no one had ever been here before, so he didn't know exactly what was going to happen.

The most terrifying thing is that the soul is scattered, right?

The woman nodded, "Can you sign it?" ”

The pawnshop guy has no reason to persuade him again, he is the pawnshop guy of life and death, and he is not responsible for saving the danger.

Handing out the account book from behind the counter, the woman carefully signed her name.

The contract takes effect.

The left black and right white on the lintel suddenly moved, black and white flowed like water, soaked each other, and distinct.

When they were all entangled, the blood-colored word "dang" on the plaque shone brightly.

The blood disappeared, and the woman disappeared into the pawnshop.

The pawnshop guy retrieved the account books, stunned.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the pawnshop guy looked up, and a woman with a soft face and a blank expression walked in.

The pawnshop guy suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, he opened the account book and saw that the place where he signed was written - ice.

The account book was red and bright, and it came out of his hand and vacated on its own.

The deed of the tenth generation surfaced.

At the end of each life, the woman appears in front of the pawnshop.

And this memory of the pawnshop guy also disappeared with the disappearance of the woman.

At this point, there is nothing to do.

The red light rushed to the sky, turned into a dragon, violently bound the woman, and pulled her towards the account book.

At this moment, the woman came back to her senses, all the memories flowed in an instant, she looked at the pawnshop guy, tears were like rain, but her smile was like a flower: "Xia worm, I found you." ”

Before the words fell, the person was pulled into the account book.

Xia Worm didn't even have time to smile back at her, and she had already scattered and fell into reincarnation.

And the red light on the account book rose again, like smoke and clouds, and gradually gathered the human form.

When everything was calm, behind the counter of the pawnshop of life and death, there was already a woman with a dazed expression.

It turns out that the result of coming here for ten lifetimes is to be bound to life and death pawnshop for eternity, and to be a dying fellow for eternity. Unless you wait until the next guy comes, you can go to reincarnation.

It turned out that the person Bing had been looking for was sitting in the pawnshop of life and death.

And in the cycle of life and death, where will the summer worm go to find ice again?

Ten generations are looking for it, but the summer insect can't talk about ice.

Ten generations searched, but only had time to say a word and show a smile.

They are forever looking for each other in this inextricable cycle of samsara.

It is not until one of them completely forgets the other that one of them can be liberated.

But they won't forget.
