Chapter 21: The Story of Wang Xiaojun
Uncle nodded slightly. At this time, Wang Xiaojun continued, "Daxian, let's go. Wang Xiaojun bowed deeply to us, and turned around to leave the girl named Lotus.
"Wait!" Uncle hurriedly shouted. "Daxian, what's the matter?" Wang Xiaojun asked, holding the lotus behind him. Uncle shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you." She had been in the water for so long, and now her soul had been traumatized, and if she didn't take action, it wouldn't be long before she was gone. ”
The young man's pupils shrank, he knelt on the ground with the lotus flower, and said pleadingly, "Is there a way for Daxian to save her?" ”
The uncle nodded slightly, took out a white umbrella from the treasure bag, touched it with some nostalgia, and said, "This is the Five Ghost Umbrella, which absorbs the yin qi between heaven and earth, and can be used to nourish her soul." Tell me her birthday. ”
Wang Xiaojun nodded gratefully, and said the eight characters of the lotus's birthday, and the uncle nodded, took out the wolf pen dipped in cinnabar and covered with plastic nibs from the treasure bag, waved his right hand, and wrote the eight characters of the lotus's birthday on the five ghost umbrellas.
After I finished writing, my uncle handed me the wolf's pen, and I quickly took it. The uncle's hands suddenly sealed, sandwiching the five ghost umbrellas between his hands, and at this time, the red words emitted golden light, but in an instant, they disappeared. The uncle threw the five ghost umbrellas into the air, and shouted, "Collect!" ”
"Hum~", the golden light emitted by the five ghost umbrellas enveloped the lotus, and at this time, the lotus, who had not said a word from beginning to end, shook Wang Xiaojun's hand tightly and said weakly, "Thank you, Daxian!" As soon as the words fell, he was sucked into the umbrella of the five ghosts.
"Smack." The uncle gently caught the fallen Five Ghost Umbrella, looked at Wang Xiaojun, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up!" Wang Xiaojun nodded, slowly stood up, and said gratefully, "Daxian, I can't repay your kindness!" ”
Uncle waved his hand and said, "You and I met because of fate, can you tell me your story?" Wang Xiaojun nodded lightly and said slowly.
"It was more than 10 years ago, and Lotus and I were from the same village, and we grew up together. We like each other, Lotus Her father is the village party secretary, and my family is an ordinary farmer, hehe, it can be said that the door is not right, the household is not right. Lotus's father didn't agree to our relationship at all. As he spoke, Wang Xiaojun smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I want to get Lotus and his father to recognize me by being admitted to college, so that Lotus can marry me. My parents knew what I was thinking, and they wanted me to be productive, so in order to support me in school, my life was tighter. ”
"I studied hard, but when I was a sophomore in high school, my father wanted to go down to the river to fish and earn more money, but he accidentally fell into the sand pit and never came up."
"This sudden blow made my mother sick too, and I gave up my studies to take care of my mother, and I am happy to see my mother get better day by day. Because I had already lost my father, I didn't want to lose my only loved one again, so I had to bury this love deep in my heart. As he spoke, Wang Xiaojun's tears flowed. Woo woo woo, Brother Jun! In the five ghost umbrellas, the lotus choked and shouted.
"Time just passed day by day, and lotus flowers often came to my house, carrying some food when they were fine. Because in the eyes of outsiders, we grew up together since childhood, and it is normal for us to have a deep relationship, so Lotus didn't dare to tell her dad about the two of us, and if her dad knew, she wouldn't even be able to see me. ”
Until one day, she came to me crying and said that her father was going to marry her to the pillar of the village. Liang Zhuzi's family is indeed very rich, but because of his money, Liang Zhuzi's character is very bad, he messes with flowers and grass, and acts recklessly. ”
"I can't give Lotus happiness, but I can't let Lotus marry this kind of person, so I went to Lotus's house to find her father to theorize, but Lotus's father slapped me and blasted me out, and I was not allowed to meet Lotus."
"Lotus was locked in the house by his father, and I lived in a trance every day. Until one day, Lotus came to my house in a panic, crying and saying that she ran out while her family was busy preparing for her tomorrow's marriage and didn't pay attention. ”
"I wanted to take her away, but I couldn't let go of my mother. At this time, there was a "clang" in the house, and Lotus and I ran into the house to see that my mother was gone, and then I saw the pesticide bottle on the ground, and I couldn't cry anymore, just stood there blankly. And the lotus flower cried into a tearful person. ”
"I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound outside the yard." Wang Xiaojun, you rabbit cub, hand over the lotus flowers! "Ah, Brother Jun, it's my dad!" Lotus was a little panicked. "Brother Jun! Take me away! Lotus said crying.
"Looking at the lotus's tearful and haggard face, I gritted my teeth, pulled her up and ran out the back door, but after all, they still found out, and when we ran to this reservoir, Lotus and I were desperate, because we couldn't run away at all."
"We stopped at the bridge." Brother Jun, since we can't be together in life, let's die together! Lotus took a deep breath and said with tears in her eyes. I don't know when, Lotus actually brought the bottle of pesticide with her. ”
I smiled slightly, gently wiped away the tears on the lotus cheeks, looked at the lotus and said, "Fool." I snatched the pesticide from the lotus's hand, drank it all, I trembled and touched the lotus's tearful face and said with a smile, "Lotus, you have to live well." ”
Then my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything. Who knew that this fool actually jumped into the river. Wang Xiaojun closed his eyes, tears fell, and said with self-reproach.
After listening to Wang Xiaojun's story, I took a deep breath, took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Mei'er, who was already crying beside me. I froze for a moment, touched my face, and touched a trace of cold liquid with my fingers.
Uncle sighed and said, "Wang Xiaojun, Lotus, you and the other two are lonely souls and wild ghosts in the world, and it is inconvenient, I will send you into the city of vain death in the underworld, are you willing!" "Yes!" Wang Xiaojun and Lotus replied happily. No one can understand what they feel, and every day they have to go through the scene and pain of death again.
The uncle nodded slightly, then took out a soul collection talisman from the treasure bag, recited the mantra, and Wang Xiaojun was included in the talisman.
"Uncle, what should I do next!" I looked at Bai Mei'er, who was still red-eyed, and asked with a wry smile. "Well, let's go back, tomorrow we will find Lotus and his father Zhang Youcai!"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle, how do you know that Lotus's father is called Zhang Youcai?" Uncle smiled slightly and said, "This matter was rumored at the time, I don't think I can even know it." ”
The next day, we came to Gao Terrier Village, and after asking someone, we found Zhang Youcai's home. A small, dilapidated building, the surroundings look clean and tidy, but there is no life.
"Bang, bang, bang" Uncle knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and an old man with flowery hair, cloudy eyes, and vicissitudes on his face stood at the door and looked at us and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"We're looking for Zhang Youcai." Uncle said lightly. "Looking for me?" The old man was a little surprised. "Yes, I'm from your neighboring village, my name is Liu Guang, well, today we are here to talk about your daughter!" "My daughter?" The old man was even more surprised, but at the mention of his daughter, his cloudy eyes darkened even more.
"Then, please come in!" The old man hurriedly stepped aside. When I entered the yard and saw the situation inside the house clearly, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. Who would have thought that the village party secretary who used to call for wind and rain would now be so poor, the house is very simple, there is no furniture, just a table and a few chairs.
The old man was very enthusiastic and hurriedly beckoned us to sit down. "You sit down for a while, there is no water at home, I'll go boil some water." As he spoke, the old man was about to go to the kitchen, and looking at the old man's staggering appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, we're not thirsty, don't be busy. We're here today to ask you something! Uncle stood up and said.
Zhang Youcai was stunned for a moment, stopped, nodded, and sat on the chair next to his uncle. The uncle said slowly, "Brother Zhang, if you were given another chance, would you agree to your daughter being with Wang Xiaojun?" ”
Zhang Youcai's hand trembled for a moment, and then the old tears flowed, and he cried bitterly and said, "If I can, I am willing to go to the eighteenth layer of hell in exchange for such an opportunity." After a pause, he said self-deprecatingly, "A person like me, if he dies, he should go to eighteen layers of hell." It's all my fault, and it's me who damns it, not those two kids. ”
Uncle sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, I understand what you were thinking at that time. However, fate is destined by God, except for themselves, whoever wants to go against the sky will lose more than they gain! Zhang Youcai wiped his tears, nodded, and said, "I understand now, but it's too late." ”
The uncle said, "It was too late in the previous life, but there is still salvation in the next life." Brother Zhang, now you can think about it. ”
"Huoyi, close the door," my uncle said to me, and I nodded. "Brother Zhang, please turn on the lights." Although Zhang Youcai didn't know what his uncle was going to do, he still did it.
The uncle took out an umbrella and a talisman from the treasure bag, pinched out a finger with both hands, recited a spell in his mouth, and then flicked his right hand at the umbrella and the talisman, and two figures flashed next to him.
