The old sheep said: "You don't know, you just became a little ghost." I also used to plan to give them dreams and ask for money. And guess what I saw? ”

I asked, "What do you see?" ”

The old sheep showed a sad look on his face: "That night." I went home. I want to wait for them to fall asleep so that I can give them dreams. Suddenly, I heard my son say to my wife, "Mother, let's burn some more paper." I always felt that my father was not enough to spend in the underworld. ”

"Then my wife said that I was worried that he wouldn't have enough to spend. But our family doesn't even have the money to buy paper money, so what should we burn to him? ”

When I heard this, I immediately slapped myself twice. The family is so poor, and I still come to ask for money, it's not a man. I walked around the house, looked at every plant and tree, and reminisced about when I was alive. The more I think about it, the sadder I become. I couldn't help but shed tears. Then in the middle of the night, I was going to leave. While I was in the middle of it, I suddenly heard someone saying my name. I followed the sound and looked over. ”

"I saw my six-year-old son squatting there on the side of the road, holding a pair of scissors, cutting paper money. Cut one slice and burn one piece. The paper he used was picked up from the street. ”

What Lao Yang said was very sensational, and we all felt a little distressed when we heard it. I waved my hand and said, "Old sheep." Where's your son? We don't have any other skills, at least we can help him eat a full meal. ”

Lao Yang said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

He continued: "At that time, I was in tears of distress, and I kept my son until dawn. Wait to see him go back to sleep. I'm leaving. The paper money he cut out himself couldn't be used at all. But after all these years, I've kept it. ”

Speaking of this, the old sheep took out a broken shoe box from the debris behind him. There was a wad of paper money inside, but the paper money was cut crookedly, like a counterfeit banknote.

Lao Yang wiped a handful of tears and said, "From then on, I won't go back to ask for money." But from time to time, I also go to see them. After I died, they were orphaned and widowed. I can't make any money at all. I can only barely get by every day, which is really hard. ”

"I became a lonely ghost with no money, and I ate everywhere. There is a saying that things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. I'm a little ghost, and gradually I met a group of people. They are all from Huaicheng, and like me, the poor ones in the family can't even get the money to burn paper. Gradually, we got together. In the beginning, I stole chickens and dogs, looking for food. Later, when we became more and more bold, someone burned paper money on the side of the road, and we grabbed the money. Hey, it's a curse. ”

Xue Qian smiled: "I didn't expect that there are rivers and lakes in the little ghosts." ”

Lao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, there are rivers and lakes in the little ghost." But there were no officers and soldiers. There is only one book of life and death. If we make such nonsense, we can only create more and more iniquities, and in the future we will be sent to the eighteen layers of hell, and we don't know how many lifetimes we will suffer. ”

I said, "Don't you understand? If you know that you will suffer to do so, why do you still do this? ”

"We didn't know it at first. Later, when we were robbing for money, we met a monk who traveled to the party, and this monk enlightened us, and we realized that karma has always been there. ”

"The monks advised us to be reincarnated as soon as possible to avoid the suffering of hunger and cold. He is willing to surpass us. Naturally, we were very happy. That night, some of them were reincarnated and left, leaving a few of us, who tried all kinds of methods and could not be reincarnated. The monk asked us, is there anything else that we can't let go of, so we can't leave this place all the time? ”

"We thought about it, and finally said that we were concerned about our families."

"The rest of these ghosts all died when they were young. After death, life is difficult for the relatives in the world. Everyone knows that they have done ghosts and can't do anything about it, but they just can't rest assured, and they have to go back to see them from time to time. We are happy when they are full, and we are sad when they are hungry. ”

When the monk heard this, he pointed us to a clear road, saying that there was a big house to the west of Huaicheng. There lived a great benevolent man who often hired imps to work. And the wages paid are fortune. When we have this fortune, we can give it to our loved ones. When the time comes, the life of our relatives will get better and better, and after we can rest assured, we can also be reincarnated. ”

It dawned on me and said, "It turns out that you went to the house to take care of your children. Lao Yang, you are really a good person, even if you are a ghost, you have to take this responsibility. ”

Lao Yang nodded and said, "I am the head of the family, of course I will do this." After I die, I don't have the ability to do it, so forget it, now that I have a way, how can I let it go? ”

He pointed to the garment in his hand and said, "This is my son's garment, and I have taken it and delivered it to him." Over the years, his life has been getting better and better. ”

Then, he looked at the cracked beams and said, "My son is twenty-four years old this year. A year ago. He just got me a grandson. Hey, I'm satisfied, too. But forty-eight years old, not old. I can do it for a few more years. When I'm a little older, I can put on a dogskin and watch the door. When I'm a little older, I can put on a monkey skin ......."

The old sheep looked forward to his future life, and we were all a little moved to hear it.

Mr. Lu said solemnly: "I beg you, don't do short-term work anymore. You have fulfilled your responsibilities as a father and as a head of the family. ”

The old sheep looked at us and said, "Have I done my duty?" ”

We all nodded vigorously and said, "It's done, there is no one more responsible than you in the world." ”

The old sheep said happily: "Really? Then I'm relieved. I have always trusted the words of you Taoist priests. ”

After the old sheep said this, his body slowly faded. He looked at himself and said, "I'm afraid it's time for me to be reincarnated." ”

Mr. Lu said, "Go, I wish you prosperity and peace in your next life." ”

The old sheep pointed to the clothes on the ground and said, "Please bring this garment to my son's house." It has my financial fortune for the month. Let him burn his clothes, and fortune will be obtained. ”

All three of us nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

The old sheep sighed and said, "It's a pity that I left in such a hurry and didn't see the child." It doesn't matter if you see them or not, I know they're doing well. ”

Soon, the old sheep's body had disappeared. Only the voice is still thinking here.

The three of us squatted in the dilapidated room, all reminiscing about the scene just now, and neither of us spoke.

My heart was up and down, I really didn't expect that the old sheep looked like a person who didn't look good, would be so great.

After a while, there was a clatter of beams above our heads. Xue Qian shouted: "Oh no, this place is going to collapse." ”

The three of us scrambled to get out. When I came out, I realized that it was already bright outside.

We waited in the courtyard for a while, but the tiled house did not collapse. Mr. Lu put the candle away. Then he pointed to the clothes in his hand and said, "Let's go and inquire at the door." Look where the old sheep's son lives, and find a way to send him clothes. ”

The three of us climbed out of the fence and started knocking on the door opposite-#~Miaobi Pavilion?++

When she knocked on the door, Xue Qian suddenly asked, "Lu Laodao, I just remembered." You said before that old man was terrible, what was so scary? Actually, I don't see it either. ”

Mr. Lu smiled mysteriously and said, "In the hall, that white-bearded old man, do you think it's scary?" ”

We shook our heads: "Immortal Wind Dao Bone, at least it doesn't look scary. ”

Mr. Lu asked again, "What about the children?" ”

We said, "Innocent and cute, what's so scary?" ”

Mr. Lu asked again, "What if you put them together?" ”

Then, without waiting for the two of us to answer, he solved the riddle: "When they are added together, they are the old man." I sensed that their souls were the same. There is a powerful soul. Not only the old man's body, but also the body of all children. ”
