Chapter 49: Dream Interpretation
The old man took a small step forward with his back on his back, and his stiff waist could not be straightened, but his thin body showed a majestic momentum, and only his figure was the most conspicuous on the quiet dock. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The beautiful man suddenly seemed to have lost his soul, his expression was flustered, his two eyebrows were twisted into a gray arc, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with teary eyes, and begged with teary eyes: "Yan ...... Lord Yan, I am also a member of the Underworld Dynasty, if you kill me now, the higher authorities will definitely hold me accountable. ”
"Huh!" The old man sneered, bowed his head and said happily: "The surrounding soldiers are all cronies of the official, and they are in the same boat with the old man, and the auxiliary cars are dependent on each other. Even if you are broken into thousands of pieces today, no one will know about it. But don't worry, your family will be taken care of by the old man from now on. ”
As soon as the old man's voice fell, he squinted at the nearby housekeeper, and then said, "Lord He, what are you still doing in a daze?" If you don't do it, when will you wait? ”
Steward He smiled coldly and arrogantly, responded hastily, and locked his gaze on the beautiful man's body. Immediately took out a bottle of poison from his pocket, shook it in front of the man's eyes, and said in a strange voice: "Do you drink it yourself?" Or shall I serve you to drink it? ”
All the soldiers who gathered around them were silent, their expressions were serious, and they watched the beautiful man's every move vigilantly, and from time to time they could faintly hear the sneering laughter of the crowd.
The beautiful man panicked, hurriedly supporting the ground with his hands, his body kept moving back, and his torso was almost paralyzed and unconscious. He immediately turned around and got up from the ground, turned his eyes to He Wei, who was stupid and stunned on the side, went up and grabbed his arm, and begged: "Shaoxia, save me, as long as you can save me out, I will promise you whatever conditions you want." ”
He Wei naturally didn't know what was going on in front of him, he only knew that everyone was determined to get rid of this beautiful man, although he only had a relationship with this man, but his heart was very soft after all, he didn't want to see blood flowing in front of his eyes, and he didn't want to see a living person die next to him.
He Wei immediately stretched out his hands to slowly help the depressed man on the ground, and smiled and said to him: "Don't be nervous, you still don't understand what I gave you a few glances just now?" I promise you, even if you have to die, I will die first. ”
The old man softened his eyes, looked carefully at the man's side, and found that in the darkness, there was a strange young man standing not far away, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the young man he didn't know, and shouted in a loud voice: "Who are you, and leave quickly, this official doesn't want to hurt the innocent today, if you are obsessed, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" ”
Steward He on the side smiled and explained to the old man: "Hey, it's okay, my own person, he is a guest of Lord Xiao, and he has nothing to do with this matter." ”
"Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is in the same boat as you? At first glance, you are not very good people. He Wei let go of the man's hands, twisted his neck and stared intently at the old man with a vicissitudes of face in front of him, and suddenly walked out of the dim light.
The old man saw his oncoming figure in his shadowy sight, and found that it was actually a yellow-haired child, but his dress and hairstyle were a little strange. Then he smiled indifferently and said, "What? Do you want to be buried? ”
He Wei did not reply, but continued to walk forward slowly, until he was less than three feet away from the old man. His face was very calm, his hands were perpendicular between his knees and legs, and his bright eyes showed a strange glow.
The soldiers gathered around noticed He Wei's move, and quickly raised the blades in their hands and rushed up to intercept him. One of the most conspicuous soldiers shouted, "Stop! ”
He Wei had no choice but to stop, slowly raised his head to look at the old man not far away, and said, "I don't want to see someone die in front of my eyes today, I hope you can spare him a way out." ”
"Huh! Okay? It's so easy, it's so easy, I'll just let you die first, so you won't see what happens next. The old man replied with a bite.
Steward He's face changed, and he hurriedly came out of the crowd, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan, this is absolutely unacceptable, this young man is a guest invited by Lord Xiao, if he dies, then the villain will not be able to deal with him in the future." ”
The old man squinted at Steward He and said mockingly, "What kind of thing is your puppet?" This official respects you and calls you an adult, do you really think you are an adult? You're just a handyman in the house, get some bounty and get out of here as soon as you get some money, the old man doesn't want to see your disgusting face. ”
Steward He was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say if he wanted to speak. What the old man said is indeed right, he himself is just a messenger in the house, to put it bluntly, he is a slave, he has neither an official position nor a title, he is a white body, and there is no place for him to speak here.
Seeing that he bowed his head and said nothing, the old man turned his gaze to He Wei again, and said, "You yellow-haired boy, this official is giving you a chance to disappear from under my nose, otherwise you will really live enough." ”
He Wei smiled helplessly and replied: "Since I have come here, I have no intention of living, I died in the yang world, and it is not an exaggeration to be wronged here, if you want to kill me, kill me, why do you come to so much nonsense?" Do you really think I'm going to frown? ”
This sentence did not anger the old man, but angered the conspicuous soldier on the side, this soldier was wearing a battle robe behind him, which was somewhat unique compared to the rest of the soldiers, looking like an officer, he pulled out the sword in his hand, put it on He Wei's neck, and said angrily: "You are presumptuous! Dare to talk to us adults like this, it seems that I really don't want to live anymore, do I? ”
"Yes, I just don't want to live anymore, if you want to do it, just now." He Wei closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The old man's demeanor suddenly changed, and he raised his head to stop: "Wait a minute, you all step down for me, who let you come up?" ”
This sentence had a great deterrent effect, and many soldiers around were so frightened that they returned to their previous positions, and the officer also put away the blade in his hand and slowly retreated helplessly.
The old man carefully looked at He Wei's whole body, and suddenly laughed again, and asked, "What?" You said you were unjustly killed? How did you die unjustly? Can you tell me about it? This official is in charge of these cases, maybe he can still make decisions for you? ”
The old man's voice was much more polite than before, and the smile on his face also added a bit of color.
He Wei raised his head and patted the back of his head, his movements looked a little unnatural, and after a while, he said, "Forget it, everyone is already dead, why are you asking so much?" What can you do for me? Can you still help me come back to life? ”
"Haha! That old man doesn't have the ability to do this, but if you tell me how you died unjustly, I can wash your grievances and turn you into a ghost without complaints. The old man took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, took out one of them, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew it.
"Chewing gum? Is there still chewing gum for sale in this place? He Wei asked.
"What? You just said chewing gum? No, no, no, the old man eats this mint green leaf, you can clear the bad breath in your mouth, only the famous family can afford to eat this thing, why do you want a piece? The old man smiled slightly and replied happily.
"No, no, I know this is chewing gum in your hand, can you tell me where you got this thing?"
The reason why He Wei asked this is because since he came to this city, he saw some ancient things sold everywhere on the street, even if the most common candy was Kanto sugar, there could be no such thing as chewing gum, unless a mysterious person gave it to him.
The old man's expression became a little serious, and he said, "This is indeed not bought from the street, it was given to the old man by a strange man, saying that as long as this thing is held in his mouth, it can cure incurable diseases and increase life expectancy." ”
"Alright, let's not talk about that." He Wei had already guessed in his heart that this old man must have been deceived, but he didn't care about this matter, but continued to ask: "You just said that you would help me make the decision, really?" You didn't lie to me, did you? ”
"Hehe, I am the master of this city, how could I deceive you? Don't worry, if you have any grievances, just say it, I will definitely make the decision for you. The old man said.
"But you have to tell me first, what's the use of being an innocent ghost?" He Wei was very curious.
The old man continued: "Well, if you are an innocent ghost, you can be like me, or even like them, a normal ghost, because it is impossible for a resentful ghost to live in the underworld. ”
He Wei seemed to understand something in his heart, and then said: "Okay, then I'll tell you, in fact, I was beaten to death, and after I died, I went to the underworld, and then a lot of incredible things happened, and I haven't understood it yet." ”
The old man said: "Well, if you are beaten to death, in fact, it will not be considered an unjust death, at most it can only be regarded as an evil ghost, if this is the case, this official will not be able to control so much." ”
He Weidao: "No, I think you still need to listen to me, I was beaten to death, but after death, I came to Hades, and after experiencing many, many things, I suddenly woke up from the dream again, only to find that it was just a dream, in fact, I didn't die at all, and I'm the same now, I'm not a ghost, can you understand what I mean?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Well, I understand what you mean, you mean to say that you are a person, but now that you are suddenly in the underworld, do you want to know what you should do next?" Or do you want to know something? ”
He Weidao: "I just want to know if I am a living person now, because some people said before that I am not a person, some people said that I am a ghost, and some people said that I am not a human or a ghost, this is a grievance, when the resentment in my heart disappears, it will disappear forever in this world." ”
The old man stepped forward and carefully observed He Wei's body, and at the same time sniffed the smell emanating from his body with his nose, and was silent for a while before saying: "Well, what that person said is indeed right, you are neither a human nor a ghost, neither a human nor a ghost, you are just a grievance." ”
He Wei was a little puzzled, and asked again: "Then in that case, how could I suddenly wake up from my sleep?" But I could clearly feel that it was a dream. ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand lightly, telling the soldiers around him to retreat a little farther away, and the soldiers all did as he commanded. At this time, the old man quietly put his mouth to his ear and said: "Because a person's dream is equivalent to an out-of-body soul, and what your soul has experienced is actually what your whole person has encountered." ”
"Is this some secret? Why tell me quietly? He Wei saw that the old man's expression was a little strange, and he looked at the soldiers in front of him.
The old man's voice became deeper, and he said to him very quietly: "Because they don't know, I am the only one who knows about this matter, and you must not tell it, otherwise it will not be just a dream." ”
He Wei nodded and whispered, "En, okay, I won't say it, but I still ask you for one thing today." ”
"What's the matter? Just say, as long as I can do it, I will do it. The old man laughed.
"Well, okay, then this is what you said, then I'll tell you bluntly, please let the man go, I really don't want to see someone die, otherwise my nerves will collapse and my personality will split." He Weidao.
The old man frowned and said, "No, this is not good, I can promise you other conditions, but only this one condition is absolutely not, that man is a heinous bad guy, I can let you go today, but I will definitely not let go of that man." ”
He Wei was taken aback and said, "How did he offend you?" Would you hate him like this? I don't think he's anything but greedy for money. ”
The old man smiled lightly and mocked his man: "Haha, this man is very bad, he not only forcibly took my wife, but also broke his previous promise, I hate such a person the most, to tell you the truth, if you have to help him today, I will not even let you go, and we will execute you together." ”
Steward He on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Hey, young man, forget it, you are already very lucky to survive today." ”
"Is there a place for you to speak? If you don't shut up quickly, you will anger me, and you will die here. The old man turned his head and said angrily.
He Wei immediately interrupted the words between them, and continued: "You housekeeper is really bad enough, do you think I don't know what is going on in your heart?" ”
