Chapter 13: The Village
I turned around and walked a few steps before Hei Wuchang's mocking tone followed: "Boy, are you going to go back to the yang world with your bare ass like this?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then looked at myself, and after a while, my face hurt hotly, and I thought: How can I forget this stubble. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I turned around and smiled awkwardly at Hei Impermanence, and said, "Brother Impermanence, since you have always said so, I must know that you have to give me a set, hehe." ”
Hei Wuchang glanced at me with disdain: "You kid, can't you see a lot of people next to you?" ”
I just looked at several large boxes next to the gallows, it turned out that many wicked people in the yang world want to come to hell to pay off their karma after death, so they must take off their clothes, so these big boxes can be said to be full, I walked over and took a look, the clothes are very neatly divided, and the selection is clear at a glance, I picked left and right, and finally chose a pair of black trousers that have been more popular in recent years, a fuchsia tight T-shirt, and a brown leather jacket, and put on a pair of lace-up cowhide shoes, I accidentally saw another pair of sunglasses, I nodded and pinned it to the pocket of my left breast, and I looked down and nodded with satisfaction, then the jailer gently patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Boy, this is your identification, and a savings card of 500,000 yuan, you take it." ”
I was stunned again, stretched out my hand to take it, I didn't expect them to even think of this, I took it, looked at it carefully, Hei Wuchang looked at me silently with great joy on the side, and then said: "You already have a new identity, so after returning to the yang world, you must keep your past life tight-lipped, don't leak a cent, you can come to receive funds once every six months, which can be regarded as a pastime in the yang world." ”
I turned my head to look at Hei Wuchang and said, "Since it's a pastime, why don't you give more?" ”
Hei Impermanence once again gave me a big roll of the eyes: "You think that the underworld is a bank, and I don't have you this treatment if you are strong, and if you don't have any tasks, you can also leave yourself and go around to play elsewhere, and you can also help other ghost dispatchers complete tasks, of course, this will also reduce the time for karma." ”
I was a little stunned when I heard this, I didn't expect such a good treatment, I hurriedly thanked: "Brother Impermanence, you can rest assured, I will definitely do things actively, if I get our benefits in the future, I will definitely think of you." ”
"You'd better keep it to yourself, I'm not rare." Black Impermanence said disdainfully.
“……”
Hei Wuchang looked at me speechless for a while, and said: "Boy, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back quickly, hurry up and do the task, strive to be reincarnated as soon as possible, and be a good person again." ”
I nodded, exchanged a few words with Hei Wuchang and other ghosts, and then said goodbye and left, halfway I thought to myself: there are so many benefits to being a ghost, and I will have to look at my mood when I go back.
Soon I came to the Huangquan Road when I first came, I saw an endless stream of ghosts, I felt sad, I couldn't help but sigh, I didn't have too long, after all, it is not interesting to guard a lot of ghosts in the past, my feet lightly touched, the whole body rose into the air, I couldn't help but exclaim, with the swing of the body, the trajectory in the air is constantly changing, and gradually I saw this familiar land again, and suddenly there was a feeling of being in my heart, Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, I swooped down quickly, and soon my feet touched the land full of life again.
I looked around, and felt that I was in a remote farmstead or village, and the whole village in front of me was no longer lit, and the night was silent, except for the occasional short cries of gnats in the grass.
I walked aimlessly, looking for a place to rest for the night, and then to make plans tomorrow morning, and although I didn't feel hungry or sleepy, I instinctively wanted to sleep for a while. The sound of the friction between the trouser legs and the creaking sound of the small pebbles on the soles of the shoes and the ground made it even more harsh in the empty night sky.
I looked around, and sure enough, not far from the left I saw a gazebo, I breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the gazebo, now I see in the dark at night is not much different from the day, if I usually walk alone on this dirt road, even if I can see the road clearly, I guess I will be scared to a mess. Now it's a different story, I'm a dead man, so it's not surprising that anything unusual has become sparse and ordinary in my eyes, let alone just a night walk on the road.
When I got to the gazebo, I habitually yawned, and lay down on the bench and closed my eyes, and before I began to become dazed and fell asleep.
A rooster crow woke me up from a good dream, I smacked my mouth with tired eyes, yawned a lot, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, I stood in the center of the gazebo and breathed the unique aroma of the countryside, a breath of fresh air poured into my lungs, and a mouthful of turbid air in my body was also shot out of my body. It's not dawn yet, but at least it's around dawn, so I'm going to walk around to get a feel for the area and find out what it is.
I continued to walk aimlessly along the dirt road in front of me, and gradually the front opened up, and one after another people began to set up stalls here to sell, it looked like it should be a market today, and soon the sky was completely bright, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the surrounding shops were also open door to door, bustling and lively.
A burst of fragrance wafted to my nostrils, although I didn't have a trace of hunger, but I still wanted to try it, I followed the fragrance to a stall, it turned out to be a steamed bun shop, I asked the shopkeeper a drawer of steamed buns, and then found a seat to sit down, and after a while the steaming big buns were brought up by the enthusiastic shopkeeper.
"It's so fragrant." I said to myself. I picked up one and stuffed it into my mouth, the bun was not as hot as I imagined, the most important thing is that this bun was as hard to swallow as chewing wax in my mouth, I was just about to get up to take charge of the owner of this shop, and suddenly I thought of what Hei Wuchang had said to me, and suddenly I threw the bun aside and sat down as if I was angry.
There was no business early in the morning, so I beckoned the shopkeeper to come over and chatted with him.
I asked, "Shopkeeper, I'm an outsider, I don't know what the name of the village is?" ”
The shopkeeper was unceremoniously, grabbed a bun and said, "This place is called Huaihuai Village, I really wonder why you young people came here?" ”
"Is there anything strange here?" I asked curiously.
