"Leader, I'm fine, I'm just tired and want to rest."

"Just allow me to be lazy."

A middle-aged man in his forties held his head, squatted on the ground trembling and crying, clutching his hair.

The entire ward was quiet again.

Lao Yu sat at the end of the bed, silently not knowing what to say.

Looking at Lao Qin's pale and tired face, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Lao Qin's wife, as if she had exploded, yelled at the leader a few times,

also paused and fell silent again,

After wiping away his tears, he sat back down, picked up the apple that had fallen on the ground and threw it into the trash.

took an apple again, took a knife and then cut it there, just lowered his head, was silent, and didn't look at Lao Qin.

In the end, Lao Qin squeezed out some smiles on his face, gasped, and said to these people in the ward.

“…… No, Old Qin, we have to send you back to the capital for treatment, the medical conditions there are very good, maybe ......"

The middle-aged man in his forties stood up from the ground again with red eyes, and was about to start arranging,

"Leadership ......"

But Lao Qin sat up and reached out and grabbed it.

"Forget it."

"My illness is clear now, and it's the same if I send it to another place, so don't waste the country's resources. Just let me stay here. ”

Lao Qin's words were said with a smile.

Lao Qin's wife was even more angry when she heard this, paused to peel the apple, raised her head, and shouted at Lao Qin with red eyes,

"As long as you can endure, as long as you are great!"

As she spoke, her wife's eyes turned even redder, and tears were already in her eyes.

Lao Qin smiled on his pale face, and reached out to grab his wife's hand.

The first time was thrown away by his wife, and he struggled to catch the second time.

Seeing his panting appearance, his wife didn't move anymore and let him hold on.

Holding his wife's hand, Lao Qin turned his head again,

"Leader, I'll stay here. I used to be in a hurry to go home because I wanted to go home to spend time with my wife, and I was out all the time, so I'm sorry for her. Now that she's there for me, I'm the same everywhere. ”

"The capital is too far away, too far from here, too close from here. I want to be here to see us succeed. ”

Lao Qin said with a smile, he couldn't help but pant as he spoke, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of strong belief and firm emotions.

Listening to Lao Qin's words, the middle-aged man hesitated.

He looked at Lao Qin, and then at Lao Qin's wife,

“…… How does he love it...... If you want to die, die...... No one else can control him. ”

Lao Qin's wife lowered her head and said, and as she spoke, tears were already being handed to the screen in her hand.

“…… Then Lao Qin, you must treat it well...... Will definitely arrange for the last doctor to treat you. You're here to recuperate. We will definitely see our success. ”

"I know."

Lao Qin turned around, stretched out his somewhat weak hand, and wiped the tears on his wife's face,

Reaching out again, he took the apple in his wife's hand and took a bite.

"It's okay ......"

Lao Qin said.

His wife looked at him with red and tearful eyes, and lowered her head again without speaking.

It was just that he snatched back the unfinished apple, and then after peeling it, he cut it into small pieces and handed it to Lao Qin's mouth.

“…… Okay, leader, Lao Yu, you should leave quickly, don't let me delay time here, the next depends on you, I am here waiting for your good news. ”

"We're free today, I'll be with you for a while."

Lao Yu replied.

Lao Qin smiled, but didn't speak again.

After a pause, he turned his head against the head of the bed and looked out the window of the ward.

"It's autumn, huh? I see that the leaves on the trees are almost gone. ”

"It's okay, wait for next winter to spring, and the leaves will grow back, we should have achieved success by then, and then we will have time to go green in the spring."

"I don't hear the cicadas singing, the cicadas know the late autumn meaning, I'm afraid they're all dead."

"Old Qin, what are you talking about......

"Squeak...... Squeaky ......"

"Listen, there are no cicadas here, and the cicadas are still chirping happily. Old Qin, you were made fun of by the autumn cicada. ”

Peeking out the window, the two autumn cicadas in the ward made a cicada chirp at the right time.

Listening to the cries of autumn cicadas, listening to Lao Yu's words,

Lao Qin laughed.

After a while,

Lao Yu and the middle-aged man still left under Lao Qin's persuasion.

Waiting for Lao Yu and the middle-aged man to leave the ward.

Lao Qin looked at the deciduous autumn cicadas outside the window again,

Then he turned his head and looked at his wife by the bedside,

"Huiyun, I'm sorry for you in my life."

Lao Qin said seriously,

“…… Don't turn it sideways, lie down. ”

The wife just paused, and then said.

“…… When I die, tell them to bury me where you can see their success. ”

The wife paused again and did not speak.

……

The autumn cicada incarnated by Xu Feng and Ah Meng fell on the tree outside the window of the ward, and kept looking towards the ward.

Look at this past history.

Lao Qin, who had finished talking to his wife in the ward, quieted down, turned sideways, and seemed to be looking at the two autumn cicadas on the tree.

“…… Ameng, shall we go somewhere else? ”

This small world of history mapping seems to have lost sight of more information,

"Hmm."

Ah Meng answered.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng flew up from the tree again.

Lao Qin's eyes in the ward fell on the two flying autumn cicadas, and looked at the autumn cicadas flying far away.

……

“…… Whoa......"

“…… Succeeded......"

“…… Hahaha...... It worked! ”

Xu Feng and Ah Meng landed on the branch of a tree.

This time, from the autumn cicada, it changed back to a bird.

Under the shade of the tree is a grave bag with a tombstone.

On the tombstone, it is not written the name of Lao Qin I saw before,

Just because, there are many graves and tombstones here.

It's a slope, and there are many of the same graves on the slope.

The slope is down, and the direction the tombstone is facing, is a more open ground.

There, beside the erected elevated shelf, there was still nothing to lean on.

There were a large number of people, excited, excited, cheering.

They shouted with tears in their eyes and laughed.

Xu Feng looked from the tombstone in front of him to the reflective platform in the distance.

I saw many graves in the near future, and people cheering in the distance.

He raised his head again and looked at the night sky.

In the night sky, the stars shine brightly.

And at this time,

In the distance, probably on the radio, there was a vague, familiar tune.

"Oriental Red ......"

“…… Ah Meng, I seem to know what that girl in the red dress is? ”

Xu Feng raised his head and looked at the night sky.

Xu Feng already had some guesses, just wanting to get Ameng's confirmation.

"Xu Feng, I know something about the girl in the red dress."

Ah Meng responded softly.

Xu Feng turned his head,

"You've seen her before?"

"No, just heard some other guests who had passed by the inn mentioned her."

"Is it the same as I thought?"

"It should be the same."

"Then let's go, let's go back, we probably got the obsession of the girl in the red dress too."

"Hmm."

Leave from here,

Ah Meng and Xu Feng crossed a long distance again, and then returned to the underworld from the human world.

……

“…… She was born from that star in the sky, from people's strong wills, beliefs, emotions. ”

"In the beginning, she was just a wisp of remnant soul, with no wisdom, only some instinctive consciousness, from the human world to the underworld. There is no way to be reincarnated. ”

"It's some people who passed by the inn and walked through the city of Xudu, her old friends, who heard about her, all volunteered to give her a wisp of soul, and over time, the remnant soul gradually perfected."

Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the bank of the Lechuan River in the underworld, outside the back door of the inn.

Ah Meng told Xu Feng about some things she knew about the girl in the red dress.

It's similar to Xu Feng's thoughts, but Ah Meng really knows a lot.

Xu Feng raised his head and glanced at Ah Meng, Ah Meng seemed to feel Xu Feng's emotions, and reached out to hold Xu Feng's palm, a little nervous.

may be afraid that Xu Feng will say her or blame her.

"Perhaps, it's because an old friend of hers recently passed by Xudu City and gave her a wisp of soul, so she finally perfected and stepped into the inn?"

Xu Feng didn't blame Ah Meng for why he didn't say it earlier, if he wanted to find the obsession of the girl in the red dress, he still had to go to the world.

Of course, there could be other reasons?

"Hmm."

Ah Meng held Xu Feng's hand tightly and nodded.

Then he looked at Xu Feng again and said,

“…… This is a help to the guests, and it is also Xu Feng's practice. ”

So he has to experience it himself, right?

"Alright."

Xu Feng took Ah Meng's hand, took Ah Meng, and re-entered the inn through the back door of the inn.

……

In the inn.

The girl in the red dress is still there.

Just like when Xu Feng and Ah Meng left the inn, they were still sitting quietly at the dining table.

Distracted in front of you.

"Girl."

Xu Feng walked back to the dining table with Ah Meng, and called out to the girl in the red dress again,

The girl in the red dress raised her head and looked at Xu Feng, with some doubts in her eyes,

His eyes looked much smarter than before Xu Feng and Ah Meng left.

"Little girl, do you remember who you are? If you don't remember, I can tell you. ”

"I ......"

The girl in the red dress opened her mouth and uttered the first complete word since entering the inn,

But he didn't continue, but his eyes were even more puzzled.

"You are the star of heaven, and you have left the earth and gone into heaven."

"You have pinned the hopes of many people and the beliefs of many people."

"You were born on earth, you appear in hope."

Xu Feng looked at the girl in the red dress and said to her with a smile.

The girl in the red dress listened, and seemed to be more puzzled, and then seemed to remember something,

I was stunned, and my eyes were a little distracted.

"I'm ...... ...... in the desert"

"I'm ...... in a cave"

"I'm on the ground...... I'm ...... in heaven."

The girl in the red dress was stunned, and muttered something in her mouth,

The doubts in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his eyes lit up a little.

With some hope, the girl in the red dress opened her mouth again,

"I'm ...... Red? ”

The girl in the red dress confided her name.

"Yes, you're red."

Xu Feng affirmed with a smile.

The girl in the red dress was stunned again, and looked at Xu Feng and Ah Meng in a daze,

He raised his head again, a little distracted.

"What about them?"

After a long time, the girl in the red dress asked again.

"Some have left, some are still there."

"Hmm...... Then I'm ......"

"You can walk through here and become a real person in the next life."

"Good...... I'm going to become human. ”

The girl in the red dress nodded, and then looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng met the gaze of the girl in the red dress, and then looked at Ah Meng.

"Among...... How to integrate the obsession into the soup this time. ”

According to Xu Feng's judgment, this obsession is not an entity.

It's the song that symbolizes the girl in the red dress, the song that the girl in the red dress is still humming vaguely when she is still ignorant,

It was also the song that Xu Feng heard, from the old radio in the old woman's hand,

It's also from that history, the song that came out on the radio.

"Xu Feng, when she drinks Meng Po soup, she can have something obsessive."

Ah Meng replied softly and sat beside Xu Feng.

"Hmmm......"

Xu Feng probably understood, turned his head and looked at the girl in the red dress again,

"Drink a glass of water, and I'll sing you a song."

"Okay."

The girl in the red dress looked at Xu Feng, opened her mouth, responded, and nodded.

Ah Meng, who was next to Xu Feng, stood up again.

Just like last time, Amon held two cups,

For the girl in the red dress and Xu Feng, they each poured a cup of Meng Po soup.

Xu Feng stretched out his hand and picked it up, and the girl in the red dress was also stunned for a moment, and then followed to learn to hold it up.

"A long time ago, a star was born on the ground. For her birth, many people made unimaginable efforts. That star is the place of their faith and hope. ”

"Finally, one day, the stars rose into the sky, accompanied by a song that resounded throughout the universe."

That song is also firmly remembered by the incarnation of the star...... Even in those days before wisdom, she still remembered, because that was the meaning of her birth. ”

Xu Feng didn't sing directly, but told such a story to the girl in the red dress,

The girl in the red dress listened in a daze, her eyes a little dazed.

She ...... She's red. ”

The girl in the red dress opened her mouth, and after opening it a few times, she finally said this.

"Hmm...... I drink this cup with you. ”

Xu Feng picked up the Meng Po soup in his hand and took a shallow sip,

The Meng Po soup with some fragrance is still bland and tasteless.

Putting down some cups, Xu Feng hummed the song,

"Hmph...... Hum...... Hmph~,Hmph~Hmph~Hum ......"

"Oriental...... Red...... Sun...... ...... liters"

"Hmph~...... East...... Fang Hong...... The sun rises ......"

The girl in the red dress picked up the cup and learned Xu Feng's humming,

and finally sang the song she never forgot clearly.

The Meng Po soup in the water cup rippled with the song,

The rim of the cup touched the lips of the girl in the red dress.

A little Meng Po soup soaked the girl's lips and flowed down her mouth into her abdomen.

"What does it smell like?"

With the previous experience of receiving guests at the inn, Xu Feng knew that after drinking Meng Po soup, the girl would not immediately forget the events of this life.

Speak up again and ask.

"It's delicious."

The girl in the red dress showed some brilliance in her eyes, so she responded,

And then ...... It seems that I remember a lot of things, and everything ......."

The girl in the red dress's eyes lit up, and she said, a little happy.

Xu Feng looked at it, and couldn't help but show some smiles on his face,

picked up the teacup in his hand again and drank Meng Po soup.

The Meng Po soup in the cup has changed its taste by this time.

First Entrance,

Some sourness, followed by some sweet flavors.

Meng Po soup flowed into the stomach, and the emotions in my heart were similar,

It's a little sour at first, then a little happy.

Feeling the taste of this Meng Po soup, looking at the girl in the red dress who was still a little happy,

Xu Feng had some inexplicable feelings flowing from the bottom of his heart.

At first, I was at a loss, and then I was confused about some things, and I felt lonely about myself.

There are also many complex feelings.

This may be some of the insights of the life of the girl in the red dress.

Lifting some more cups, Xu Feng drank the last bit of Meng Po soup in the cup.

Feel the emotions in your heart flow freely with the taste in your mouth.

After another pause, he put down the cup and looked at the girl in the red dress again.

"Red, it's time to hit the road, let's go."

Looking at the girl in the red dress who was still a little happy, Xu Feng paused for a while and said aloud.

But the girl in the red dress was not sad about this,

With joy and even anticipation on his face, he stood up.

"Goodbye Grandpa...... I'm leaving. ”

The girl in the red dress said another word to Xu Feng, and walked towards the back door of the inn.

Xu Feng listened to the words of the girl in the red dress, and his mood was a little complicated.

knows that he is born from the heart, and I don't know what kind of image he is in the eyes of the girl in the red dress.

Shaking his head, Xu Feng stood up and looked at the girl in the red dress walking towards the door of the inn.

The girl in the red dress walked briskly, and without the slightest hesitation, she arrived outside the inn.

For the girl in the red dress, reincarnation is not such an uncomfortable thing,

She had been lonely before, and after that, she would not be alone again.

“…… Grandfather...... Outside the inn, the flowers by the river are blooming! It's so beautiful! ”

After the girl in the red dress walked out of the inn, she paused, looked at the bank of the Lechuan River, and praised loudly.

This was also the last sentence that the girl in the red dress said to Xu Feng and the others.

And then,

The girl in the red dress didn't look back, and walked briskly across the Nai He Bridge on the Lechuan River.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng stood in the inn, watching the girl in the red dress walk all the way up the bridge, until the figure could no longer be seen, and finally withdrew their gaze.

"I don't know where this red girl will be reincarnated."

Xu Feng turned his head and sat down again.

"Do you know?"

Amon shook his head,

"I don't know, but due to karma, it may be born in the most suitable place."

"Xu Feng is in the inn, maybe after a few years, can he meet again?"

Ah Meng responded.

"Hmmm......"

Xu Feng shook his head and responded.

Raising his head again, he glanced towards the front door of the inn.

I don't know when,

The wind and sand outside the front door of the inn have long stopped,

It returned to its usual calm appearance.

"Among...... Why don't we go to the capital city? ”

……

Room.

When the old woman came home last night,

So he went back to his room, and fell asleep with the old radio in his hand.

At night, she had another dream.

Dreaming of the girl in the red dress that I can dream of these days,

Only this time, the girl in the red dress waved goodbye to her after she appeared.

Waiting to wake up from the dream.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the old woman vaguely seemed to think about who the girl in the red dress was.
