"It's really rare to be able to eat egg fried rice here! It's really rare!" Du Xiaobai took a big gulp of the rice in the bowl and kept muttering. Before eating, he went to take a simple shower and changed into the clothes that Xiao Yuyao found for him. The clothes look very much like the ancient costume Hanfu in the TV series, with a wide-sleeved long shirt, which makes him feel a little nondescript with short hair, but Xiao Yuyao said that there is only this one more suitable men's clothes, so he has no choice but to put it on his body first.

"Brother, there are so many ladies, can't you eat better......" Xiao Yuyao was also a little overwhelmed.

"Egg fried rice is the No.1 on my menu, and although it tastes different from the rest of the world, it is also delicious. Du Xiaobai continued to feast.

"The taste of many things in the underworld is not the same as in the world, water, grain, eggs and meat, are all a little different, so you will feel that the taste is a little wrong, brother, you have to ask more in the future, don't eat indiscriminately, otherwise it will happen to drink the lotus liquid of the Holy Mother......" Xiao Yuyao taught earnestly, and she looked more like Du Xiaobai's sister.

"Old sister, don't you just make a list for me when you go back, well, this rice is so delicious!" Du Xiaobai was like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep, and his mind was on the rice.

Meng Tianlan, who was next to him, looked at the brother and sister, and just smiled shallowly. The egg fried rice she makes has always been eaten by herself, and others don't like to eat it. Today, I didn't eat a few bites, and almost let Du Xiaobai clean up alone. However, she didn't mind at all in her heart, but had a sense of identification with a little happiness.

Before eating just now, Meng Tianlan listened to Xiao Yuyao tell all the things about this Du Xiaobai, and after listening, she had more admiration for this man, and a trace of curiosity.

admired because he not only saved his sister, but also was warm-hearted and rescued many people in the underworld. The curiosity is because of Du Xiaobai's strange encounters and what may appear in her dreams.

According to Yaoyao, this Du Xiaobai drank the Holy Mother Lotus Liquid by mistake, so when the stone disaster occurred yesterday, his appearance changed, but his body shape did not change. Is it him who dreamed of it?

Meng Tianlan was a little annoyed that he didn't remember the face of the person in the dream clearly, he only remembered the figure, so he couldn't be 100% sure that the person in the dream was this man. She felt as if she was about to go ashore, but she was pushed back into the water by the waves. I only have eight years of memory, according to my mother-in-law, eight years ago, she was washed to the shore by the river, and it was her mother-in-law who found herself dying and saved her life. But when I woke up, I didn't remember anything.

During the eight years she lived with her mother-in-law, she often dreamed of strange things. Egg fried rice, teacher, baby, a gentle man. Over and over again, but they are always vague and can't see their faces clearly.

But even if she can't see clearly, when she wakes up, she will remember that she feels very warm in her dream. So in her dreams, she would subconsciously tell herself that she would sleep a little longer, sleep a little more.

She once suspected that it might be her former home, but according to her current age of twenty-six, she was only eighteen years old eight years ago, how could she already have a family?

So, she stopped thinking crankily and concentrated on the things at hand, but she was still very attached to the feeling in her dreams.

Therefore, she especially loves these children who stay at her mother-in-law's house, and she accompanies each child gently and patiently, learning to be a teacher and teaching them all kinds of knowledge. Six years ago, when Xiao Yuyao and her mother-in-law discussed setting up a school to accept children, she literally jumped up from the sofa.

It's just that after she got busy with school things, she rarely dreamed of those people anymore. A few years have passed, and she has gradually forgotten.

A few days ago, when the gentle man walked into her dream again, and the appearance vaguely became clear, the feeling of being forgotten for many years was like magma that had been accumulated for many years, spewing out. In the dream, she couldn't stop crying, tears rained down, she put her face on the back of the man's hand, and kept saying sorry, sorry......

The man just gently helped her pull her loose hair, and said softly: I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you......

After she woke up from her dream, she sat on the bed for a long time looking at the soaked pillow towel.

For the next few days, she was in a depressed mood. She felt as if she had walked to a closed door, wanted to open it but didn't have the key, wanted to knock on the door, but felt like she might be in the wrong place.

All of this is because of my age. She couldn't believe that she had such a life when she was only 18 years old eight years ago.

She was afraid that her mother-in-law would worry about her, so she tried not to think about the dream and concentrate on accompanying these children. When she heard that there were children in the school who were uncomfortable, she immediately left for school, and the busyness would make her forget a lot of things for a while.

After returning from school, who knew that he met the brother brought back by Yaoyao, and touched the dream that he had been trying to forget for a long time.

Maybe everything is just an illusion, the dream is not real in the first place, and a soul who has just arrived in the underworld may just happen to look very similar.

Meng Tianlan didn't want to think about this question that was unlikely to have an answer, and she began to concentrate on eating her own food.

"Mother-in-law," Du Xiaobai wanted to see how Granny Meng was doing, and asked, "Can you still remember what happened many years ago?"

Granny Meng put down her wine glass, sighed, and replied: "Boy, it's not that my mother-in-law doesn't help you, my mother-in-law probably knows what kind of disease she has now, and my dementia has started a hundred years ago." I still have a deep impression of the events of a hundred years ago, and as for the events of this hundred years, I can't remember many of them. There are so many souls coming and going every day, there is nothing particularly special, and I have basically forgotten about the souls. ”

Du Xiaobai nodded, looked at Xiao Yuyao and Meng Tianlan, and stopped talking.

After everyone finished eating, Xiao Yuyao took a group of children to play outside the house, and Granny Meng said that she felt a little tired, so she went upstairs and went back to the house. Du Xiaobai stayed behind to help Meng Tianlan clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Meng Tianlan stacked the bowls, Du Xiaobai took them to rinse, Meng Tianlan swept the floor, and Du Xiaobai went to get the dustpan, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

Meng Tianlan looked at Du Xiaobai's back and couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Du, Yaoyao said that you came here to ask about your wife, but she didn't say the details. In fact...... I've been here for a few years now, if it's convenient...... You can talk to me and maybe I can help. Don't look at my mother-in-law's young appearance, she is very old after all, in recent years, many times it has been me and the children who have been sending amnesia soup for the soul, and she rarely comes out. ”

Du Xiaobai poured the cleaned garbage into the trash can, turned around and sat on the sofa, pursed his lips, and talked about Shao Qingqing. Meng Tianlan poured two glasses of water, sat down on the sofa opposite Du Xiaobai, gently pushed one of them in front of him, and then listened carefully to Du Xiaobai's story.

After Du Xiaobai finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "To be honest, I'm actually a little entangled now......"

"Why?" Meng Tianlan asked, she felt a little uncomfortable after listening to the story of Du Xiaobai's wife. is also a woman, she knows what Shao Qingqing has paid.

Du Xiaobai shook his head and said, "At first, my mother-in-law always forgot things intermittently, and I was still very distressed that I couldn't ask about my wife, but now I'm a little glad that my mother-in-law is like this...... To be honest, I've only been in the underworld for a few days, and I've encountered a lot of strange things. In this underworld, there are many things that I have never heard of and never seen before. ”

Du Xiaobai picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, looked at Meng Tianlan, who was listening carefully, and continued: "Here, there are strange water and poisons, strange flowers, plants, birds and beasts, flying sedan chairs, old monsters that have lived for thousands of years, mysterious five families, and so on...... In this, there are some things I have heard of in the world, such as Huangquan Road, Granny Meng, and Xudu City...... Although the truth is not quite the same as what I have heard, I have heard of it after all, but most of the other things I have encountered are the first time I have encountered them. In addition, some strange things happened to me, the soul-bound gold tooth, the strange poison, the cocoon of silk, and the ability to hear the words of animals...... Sister Tianlan, let me tell you, my mind is really a mess now, and I don't even understand what kind of society the underworld is. You see, I look like I'm wearing Han Dynasty clothes, but you're wearing modern dresses...... Is this underworld a world of supernatural powers, a feudal society, or a realm of gods and ghosts? I think it's all like it, and it's not like ......."

Du Xiaobai got up and came to the window, looked at the extremely calm Lechuan River outside the window, and confided in his heart: "Actually, I came here by accident, Yaoyao She inadvertently mentioned that my wife might survive, so I was excited for a moment and wanted to ask my mother-in-law about my wife." At first I thought, if there is news of her, then I will go to her, if there is no news of her, I will die of this heart. But now calm down...... I'm a little scared to hear from her, you say, if I learn that she's still alive, where am I going to find her? What is her situation now? If she drinks amnesia soup and forgets about the things of the world, what will I do if I try so hard to find her, and she doesn't remember me at all, or start a new life? Besides, I'm a newcomer, unarmed, how can I go to her?"

"I even think that I should drink a bowl of amnesia soup, and I will be ......," Du Xiaobai said with some discouragement.

Meng Tianlan silently looked at the dejected Du Xiaobai, trying to understand his complicated feelings of loss at the moment.

When she saw Du Xiaobai for the first time, she thought he was the man who had been hiding in her dream for eight years, but now she was not sure that it was this man. And, even if it does, so what? It's just a dream.

This man has his own life, he has his own love, he should pursue it, he should fight hard.

And what I should do is to encourage him and support him.

Meng Tianlan bit her lip and said slowly: "Brother Du, you shouldn't drink that amnesia soup, and you can't drink it." ”
