Chapter 43: Wangmei Quenches Thirst
He Wei asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xiao Zhu replied: "I'm laughing at you for being as stupid as a pig and incorrigible, hahaha......"
He Wei was stunned for a moment, looked up at his face, and immediately said: "Okay, if you want to think like this, then I have nothing to do, I'm leaving, you can do it yourself, I won't worry about the previous things with you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xiao Zhu saw that He Wei turned around and was about to leave, so he immediately rushed forward to intercept him, and told him: "Hey, little ghost, don't leave yet, come with me to a place, this place is exactly where that person is going to take you just now, come with me, how about it?" ”
He Wei turned his head and said, "What? Coming with you? Why? Why should I go with you, give me a reason, could it be that I will go with you as soon as someone hit me last time? ”
Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "Hey, it was indeed my fault last time, but you also scored one point, right?" I had an enemy present, but now that he's dead, I don't need to bother you. ”
He Wei didn't believe his words at all, and this time he didn't reply in time, his eyes were full of anger. He twisted his neck, turned his back to him and bowed his head, and said, "If you want to do it, you can take advantage of it now, in short, I won't go with you." ”
"Haha, little ghost, I can't see that you are quite upright, I like your character, don't worry, even if you don't go with me, I will never hurt you, it's entirely up to you to go, you pay attention to yourself, but I have to tell you, if you go with me this time, I will let you see someone you want to see."
When He Wei heard this, he had a trace of doubt in his heart, and hurriedly turned his back to Xiao Zhu and asked, "Then who is he?" You must tell me now, or I won't go with you. ”
Xiao Zhu stepped forward, took out a photo from his pocket, went up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come, take it, you can see for yourself, you should be very familiar with this person in the photo." ”
He Wei didn't pick up this photo for the first time, but asked curiously first: "Is she summer?" ”
"Haha, it's really a merry guy, I know that I think about other people's little girls all day long, I can tell you clearly, it's not summer, but you must want to see this person very much, right?"
He Wei heard the words coming from behind him, hesitated for a while, and then turned around and took the photo, took it in his hand, and found that there was still a little girl in the photo, but she seemed to be very familiar, it was the little blue dress with two small ponytails on her head.
Seeing the person in the photo, He Wei immediately recalled the little girl he had met in the company before, and turned back to Xiao Zhu very anxiously and said, "Do you know her?" Is she dead or alive now? Where are the people? ”
"What are you anxious about? Of course I know her, she's dead, but her soul is still in the village where you were before. Xiao Zhu said.
"Village? Is it in that village where there are many violent villagers? He Wei asked.
"Yes, this is this village, I died tragically in this village before, the first purpose of my visit now is to take revenge, and the second purpose is to help you find her soul." Xiao Zhu's expression seemed to become a little pale.
When He Wei heard this, he tightened every string in his mind, looked at Xiao Zhu's body, and found that his heels did not touch the ground at all.
He Wei said in a low voice: "Ah, Senior Xiao, are you also dead?" ”
"Yes, the last time I was in the village, I had already lost my life, and what you saw in the mansion was also my soul, and I would like to tell you that everyone you have seen in the mansion is not actually a person, because people can't see ghosts, only ghosts can see ghosts."
After He Wei heard this, he hurriedly asked again: "Then you mean that I am not a human anymore?" ”
"Yes, you're not human, but you're not a ghost either, but you can see ghosts, that's where you're powerful, understand?" Xiao Zhu sighed and said in a low voice.
"What? Am I not human? It's not a ghost, so tell me, what am I? ”
"You're a brute." Xiao Zhu said with great certainty.
"What if I were a brute? Then you must be a beast, right? ”
"I'm not kidding you, but it's better to say you're a worm, a worm, a crawling worm, than a beast."
Xiao Zhu smiled, turned around and waved his hand, looked at the scorching sun in the west, and then squinted at He Wei beside him, and said, "It's not early, let's hurry up, follow me, I'll take you out of this desert." ”
He Wei nodded, followed and asked, "Are you thirsty?" Want to drink some water? ”
Xiao Zhu turned around and said, "You want to drink, right?" There's no need to be so polite, I don't have any water with me, but I can take you out of this desert, which is almost ready to enter another world. ”
Xiao Zhu slowed down, and then continued: "When we get out of this desert, we will enter the underworld, and you will have to listen to me at that time, otherwise you will die without a place to bury." ”
"Are you saying we've gone into the underworld? I really don't know this, it seems that there is indeed a problem with the previous plane. ”
"It's not a plane, it's a crawling animal, and the stomach you get into and it brings you here."
Xiao Zhu looked left and right at his surroundings, stretched out an index finger to point at the firelight on the sun, and silently chanted a strange incantation in his mouth, which lasted for about a minute or so.
He Wei felt strange, so he went up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Zhu didn't reply, but continued to chant the mantra, what he said, no one could hear it, only to see that three minutes later, he opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "The sky is dark, the earth is blue, and the face is yellow. ”
When he finished reciting this series of incantations, he said to He Wei again: "Let's go, let's get to the place soon, let's walk out of this terrible desert together." ”
He Wei couldn't believe it, felt that he was a little nervous, and couldn't help but ask, "What were you doing just now?" Why do you feel like a madman, you don't have a fever, do you? Where are we going? ”
"Don't ask so much, okay? Let's just go together. As soon as Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, and kept waving behind him as he walked, signaling He Wei to hurry up and follow.
Although He Wei kept asking, he also followed. After a while, the two of them found an oasis, which did not look very large, only a few dozen meters wide, and from a distance it looked like a football field filled with water.
When He Wei saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Look at that, there is an oasis in front, there is an oasis, you can find water to drink." ”
"You just don't see anything, it's not an oasis in front of you, it's you who are dazzled." Xiao Zhu said to him.
He Wei didn't believe it, and continued to run towards the green forest in front of him, but the more he ran, the farther away the forest became, and no matter how much he chased it, he couldn't catch up, and finally turned into a translucent shape, and suddenly disappeared from his field of vision.
Xiao Zhu in the back came forward and said, "You see, this desert is the god of death in your heart, as long as you think about it in your heart, you are not far from entering hell." ”
"But I can't walk now, I haven't drunk fresh water in a long time, and I'm very thirsty."
"Can you drink 'Huilong Soup'? If you don't worry, you can quench your thirst and cure your disease. Xiao Zhu said with a smile.
"You can pull it, I won't drink that thing, if it doesn't work, I'll die here, if it's a big deal, I'll go to hell, let the ghost cha catch it, go down to eighteen layers of hell, and let the oil pan be fried into skeletons."
Xiao Zhu immediately looked up at the front, his face changed, and he suddenly shouted, "Little ghost, look at what is in front of you?" ”
He Wei slowly raised his head and followed Xiao Zhu to look at the open space in front of him, but He Wei didn't see anything, so he asked rhetorically, "Is there anything ahead?" How do I see nothing? Do you see anything? ”
Xiao Zhu pointed to the front and said, "Didn't you notice that there was a red forest in front of you?" You might as well be a piece of Merlin, so go and have a look? ”
"You don't coax me, where is Merlin from in the desert? You see that I don't read much and think I'm a liar, right? He Wei glanced at him and said angrily.
Xiao Zhu's expression at this time was even more exaggerated, he kept looking ahead, and said, "Oh, that's really a piece of merlin, if you don't go, then I'll go first, anyway, I'm too thirsty." ”
When He Wei saw Xiao Zhu so serious, he subconsciously looked up at the situation in front of him, and found that there seemed to be a small red dot in the distance. He turned around and asked Xiao Zhu suspiciously: "Are you sure that what you saw was a piece of merlin?" ”
"Hey, that's still fake, anyway, if you don't go, I'm going to go, that's it for now, and then there will be a period." After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he hurriedly galloped away in the direction ahead.
He Wei also stood up from the ground, followed Xiao Zhu's footsteps in front of him, and shouted, "Wait for me, I'll go with you too." ”
So the two of them ran in that direction desperately, for more than three hours, maybe in the desert, without a sense of time at all, but they never ran in the direction of the Merlin, and the red dot in front of them was getting farther and farther away from their sight, almost disappearing.
He Wei suddenly couldn't run, sat down on the ground at once, and said to Xiao Zhu: "Hey, I don't run anymore, I really can't run, you actually lied to me, I'm about to die of thirst, you see what to do." ”
Xiao Zhu also looked very tired from running, so the whole person stopped, turned back to He Wei and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, this seems to be the case, if you really don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do." ”
He Wei looked up again and found that it was almost a yellow open field, so he turned his head and scolded angrily: "Look at you, I could have lived a few more hours, but if I was tossed by you like this, I would probably die here soon." ”
Xiao Zhu said: "Hey, don't worry, things are not so bad." Xiao Zhu also carefully observed everything around him, but he saw a small black dot in his eyes, so he hurriedly said to He Wei: "Little ghost, look at it, take a look, what's in front of you?" ”
He Wei panted and said: "Even if there is an oasis, I won't believe your nonsense, you want to go, you can go by yourself." ”
Xiao Zhu said again: "Hey, you look up first, otherwise how do you know what is in front of you?" ”
He Wei was helpless, so he had to slowly look up and look ahead, he suddenly found that there was a small black dot in front of him, and immediately looked back at Xiao Zhu on the side, and asked, "Huh?" What's that? How does it look like a city? ”
"That's not a city, we've reached the edge of the underworld, and if we take a step forward, we've completely entered the underworld." Xiao Zhu seemed very happy to see all this in front of him.
"Really? So what are we waiting for, waiting to die here? Let's go. He Wei immediately rubbed up from the ground and ran towards the small black dot in front of him.
Xiao Zhu immediately yelled at his back: "Wait a minute, little ghost, don't rush over first." ”
He Wei was shocked by the voice coming from behind him, suddenly stopped, looked back at Xiao Zhu and said, "What's wrong?" It was you who just said to leave, and now it is you who say no, so do you want to go or don't want to go? Anyway, I don't want to wait to die in this hellish place. ”
"Don't be impulsive first, I'm asking you if you have any money with you, if you don't bring money, we won't be able to get in." Xiao Zhu asked.
When He Wei heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, I thought it was a big deal, you said you wanted a dark coin, I had a lot of it on me, all of which were scavenged from the previous mansion." ”
"What? House? Xiao Zhu's face became a little ugly, and he immediately stepped forward and asked again, "Can you take out those dark coins and show them to me?" ”
"Why? This is my money, why should I show it to you? I'm going to keep it for myself. He Wei was a little reluctant.
"Oh, let me tell you the truth, these dark coins in the house are not real dark coins, these dark coins are magical, in fact, they are made of a piece of yellow paper, as soon as you give it to the ghost, the ghost will immediately see through it." Xiao Zhu said, and said, "You take out the dark coin first, and I'll see if it's scavenged from the mansion." ”
After He Wei heard this, he seemed to believe his words a little, because he himself had heard that this money could be spent casually in the yang world, and it would not be recognized, as soon as he thought of this, He Wei immediately took out a thick stack of dark coins from his pocket, stuffed it into Xiao Zhu, and said: "Look at it, this is what I found from the mansion before, and the people in the mansion are all dead, and I don't know what happened." ”
Xiao Zhu took it in his hand, took a closer look, and said: "This dark coin can't be used, it is not produced by the underworld, but some dark coins that are changed from the yellow paper on the left side of the door." ”
He Wei continued: "Is it really unusable? In that case, can you talk about what we should do next? ”
Xiao Zhu took the stack of dark coins in his hand, rummaged through them, looking for each one, he suddenly pulled out one of them, and said to He Wei: "Little ghost, you take this money in your hand first, and I will have my own way to fool those ghosts in a while." ”
After He Wei heard it, he agreed and said, "Okay, do you have any bad ideas?" Tell me and I'll help you analyze it. ”
"No need, you'll find out in a moment." After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked in that direction.
He Wei saw that Xiao Zhu's expression was very nervous, and he didn't ask too much, and he followed closely.
Soon after, the two of them slowly approached in the direction of the black dot, and soon saw the situation ahead, it was indeed a city as He Wei said, but there were walls on both sides, like the only city in the desert, and there were two ghosts standing guard at the gate.
When Xiao Zhu saw the two ghosts, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, big brother official, I want to go into the city, can I be accommodating." ”
The two ghosts were both wearing official uniforms and dressed up in a decent manner, but their behavior looked lazy and lazy, and one of the ghosts also supported his waist, deliberately revealing the ruffian spirit on his body.
A dark smile appeared on the ghost's cheeks, and he squinted at Xiao Zhu, and said, "No, no, it's already time, and no one can enter the city today." ”
Xiao Zhu saw that the situation was a little uneasy, and immediately took out a stack of dark coins from his pocket, and deliberately threw them to the ground while the two ghosts were not paying attention. So much money was dropped. ”
One of the ghosts, who was standing guard at the city gate, saw Xiao Zhu's movements, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately said, "Oh, that'...... Yes, I dropped it, thank you so much, I couldn't find it after looking for a day. ”
After Xiao Zhu picked it up, he immediately greeted it with a smile, stuffed the stack of brand-new dark coins in his hand into the ghost cha's pocket, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be you who dropped it, then it will be returned to the original owner, hehe!" ”
As soon as Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he began to laugh, and immediately pointed to He Wei behind him, and said, "Look, it's not easy for the two of us to come all the way, so we can be accommodating." ”
The ghost laughed even more merrily, winked meaningfully at him, and hurriedly continued, "Hey, it's okay, I just scared you, let's go in." ”
Xiao Zhu immediately thanked: "Oh, thank you so much, then we will go in first." ”
Xiao Zhu said, and immediately turned around and gave He Wei a look, hinting to let him come over. He Wei saw that he was also following him, and the two of them entered the city together.
When he came to the city, He Wei turned his head to look at Xiao Zhu, feeling a little curious, so he asked, "No, why do I think there is something wrong with what you said before?" ”
"What's the problem? I use money to bribe those ghosts, what's not to do? Xiao Zhu turned around and asked.
He Wei then replied: "I'm not talking about this matter, I'm talking about what happened to us in the desert before. ”
He Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Didn't you say before that you yourself were dead? How can you die once? And I remember very well, you used to be a big official in the underworld, why did the ghost stop you when he saw you? ”
Xiao Zhu laughed and said, "Haha, have you forgotten that you were once a big official in the underworld?" And you're still the guard general in the palace, but the ghost cha saw you and didn't know you? ”
He Wei asked suspiciously, "Yes?" How could they suddenly stop knowing us? ”
Xiao Zhu said: "Why do they want to know you?" You don't have an official word engraved on your face, you are looking at the clothes you are wearing, in tattered clothes, like a beggar asking for food, if you don't stop you, you will be out of the ghost. ”
He Wei felt that what he said made some sense, and he didn't continue to ask about this topic, and after a while, he moved the topic to other places and said, "By the way, Senior Xiao, where are we going in a while?" Let's get some water to drink, right? ”
Xiao Zhu glanced at him and said, "Do you remember?" I once gave you a stygian coin and put it in your pocket, this stygian coin is our current expenses, and I think it will be enough for a few days if you don't spend it indiscriminately. ”
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, I knew that I had left some more just now, how long can this money last, it is estimated that it will be gone in three or two days." He Wei's face suddenly became ugly, as if he was complaining about Xiao Zhu for not telling him about the situation before.
Xiao Zhu suddenly was happy, and asked rhetorically: "Haha, look at your greedy face, we can still make money when the money is gone, right?" But if our lives are gone, what will we earn? ”
He Wei lowered his head and didn't continue to speak, but followed closely behind Xiao Zhu in silence all the way, as if he was very unhappy in his heart.
Xiao Zhu looked left and right at the situation on the street, and found that there were quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, and it was very lively on all sides, so he looked back at He Wei behind him, and said with a smile: "Little ghost, let's go to the inn and drink some tea, and finally go back to the underworld, don't spoil the fun." ”
He Wei still lowered his head and didn't say a word, his eyes looked like he was going to eat Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu couldn't help laughing again, and said to him: "Haha, look at you during this time, people have really changed a lot, I miss you before, you were still a good person who was more greedy, but now you are a very greedy bad person, hahaha......"
"Is it funny that you always laugh like this? You look stupid like that, you know? He Wei suddenly raised his head and scolded.
Xiao Zhu suddenly stopped laughing, looked around again, and saw that there was an inn not far away, so he turned around and said, "Hey, little ghost, let's not talk about this for now, let's find a place to rest first, after eating and drinking enough, we are on our way." ”
"Well, okay, let's go together, the money is in my hands anyway." He Wei suddenly had a sinister smile on his face.
"What money is in your hands? What do you mean by that? Could it be that you have to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid, I've been in the underworld for decades, how can I be stumped by being penniless? ”
