Volume 1 The Journey to the Underworld Chapter 2 The First Seven Soul Nights
As soon as the bull head and horse face left, a short and fat man walked over, followed by two younger brothers.
"Brother and Brother Ma are very familiar?"
"Well, I followed Brother Niu and Brother Ma, what do you call Big Brother?"
Humpty Dumpty looks lazy and slouchy.
"Just call me Brother Li, give me your waist card first, I'll register it, and the points you will work in the future will be automatically recorded in your waist card."
Ermao hurriedly handed the waist card to Brother Li.
"Since you are your own person, Brother Niu must have explained everything to you, just control it yourself."
Brother Li registered the waist card and returned it to Ermao.
"Thank you Brother Li for mentioning it, my name is Ermao, I am a newcomer, and there is nothing good to honor you, I heard Brother Ma say, the first seven can return to the world with a dream, and when the time comes, the younger brother will ask Brother Li to take a few bites."
Ermao hurriedly showed Brother Li his bottom, first mixed his face to get acquainted, left a good impression, and he could live a little more comfortably.
Brother Li took his little brother away, and Ermao didn't rush to work when he first arrived, so he wandered around.
There are more than 100 people on this construction site, all old and young, because they are all souls, and everyone looks a little empty.
Haha, don't think about it, it's not kidney deficiency, it's just that the body is not very real, it's a little blurry, after all, it's just a ghost left after a person dies.
Take Ermao himself as an example, his body is also a little weak, and the color of the injured left eye is even a little translucent.
But because it's a ghost, there's no wound. Blood and the like, it's not much of a scare.
The people who work don't talk much, and Ermao looked around a lot before he found someone who could talk a few words.
"Uncle, how long have you been here?"
"It's been six or seven years, I don't remember very well."
"You haven't finished your sentence yet?"
"It's already full, do you think I look like a bad person?"
"Then why don't you go to reincarnation?"
"I don't have enough points! I'm older and slower. The conditions at home are not good, and the ones sent are all ordinary incense, and they can't be exchanged for a few points, so they have been spent here. ”
"Ah, the incense from the world? Can you still exchange points? ”
"yes, if you stay for a long time, you'll understand."
"Oh, thank you, uncle, come, I'm in a group with you, I have a lot of strength, and I have been doing manual work since I was born."
The uncle knew that Ermao wanted to help him, and he didn't refuse Ermao's kindness.
At the end of the day, Uncle and Ermao pulled a total of 4 carts of stones, and each of them had 4 more points in their waist cards.
This waist card is really magical, not to mention the automatic recording of points, it is still a mobile express station.
What do you mean?
It's very simple, your relatives and friends in the world, all the sacrifices you burned to you will automatically be displayed in your waist card, and you can sense it clearly.
Of course, no one else can see it except yourself.
The dungeon also respects personal privacy.
And if you want to take out those things in the waist card, it is very simple, just give the waist card an idea, and the things you want will automatically appear in front of you.
This waist card is so advanced and magical, so that Ermao's eyes are opened, no wonder there are no modern high-tech products in the underground, and the same can be managed in an orderly manner.
However, the restrictions of this waist card are also very large, except for those ghosts who are officially employed in the underworld, no one else can take out the underworld, after entering the gate of reincarnation, the waist card will be automatically cleared back to the general warehouse of the underworld, leaving it for the next ghost to come in.
Ermao couldn't help but sigh a little:
"Poverty limits my imagination!"
For the next four or five days, Ermao was teaming up with his uncle to pull stones, and in his spare time, he would also go to the ghost in charge to talk to Brother Li.
In the past few days, the family has also sent some ordinary incense, with change, cigarettes and alcohol, and the two cents have not been saved, nor have they exchanged points, they have all been taken out and distributed to Brother Li and his younger brothers.
Brother Li has a good temper and doesn't talk much, and he and Ermao gradually get acquainted.
Ermao is also comfortable on this simple construction site.
On the seventh day when Ermao came to the underworld, Niu Tou Ma Mian sent a new ghost over, and when he left, he called Ermao by the way.
Today is Ermao's first seven soul nights, and according to the regulations of the underworld, Ermao has a chance to meet his family in a dream.
It's still the original hall, but now it's a side hall, a very small room, Ermao secretly counted it when he came in, such a small room, there are probably dozens of them around.
The bull head walked in with Ermao and said to Ermao:
"Today is your first seven, you can lie on that jade bed for a while, you think about the relative you want to see the most, and you can immediately meet him in his dreams."
Ermao was suddenly a little nervous and a little melancholy, but he still walked to the edge of the jade bed and lay down according to Niu Tou's words.
"Remember, you only have 10 minutes, you can't delay it too long, if you have anything to say, remember it."
After reminding Ermao, Niu Tou then exited the room and closed the door.
Ermao closed his eyes and thought about his mother.
The space suddenly turned, and Ermao appeared in a gray and white room of more than 20 square meters, surrounded by nothing but walls.
"Mom?"
Ermao thought that the bull head was fooling him, but who knew that as soon as the voice fell, a gray-haired, old-fashioned figure of Long Zhong appeared in front of him.
"Mom?"
Ermao was stunned for an instant, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of thoughts, and they poured out in an instant.
"Mom!"
"Mom! I'm Ermao! Mother! ”
The white-haired old woman (yu)'s originally dull face was suddenly startled, and she looked at Ermao tremblingly, and her slowly raised hands kept shaking, and she never dared to touch Ermao.
"Ermao, is that you?"
"Mom!"
Ermao pounced, tears came out of his eyes, and he hugged his mother tightly.
"Son, my son! You died so badly...... Why did you leave us orphans and widows alone! ”
The old woman finally cried loudly, and the sadness that had been suppressed for several days was like a flood that opened the floodgates, pouring towards Ermao at once.
"Mom, Ermao is sorry for you, Ermao bastard, Ermao is unfilial......"
"Son!"
Yesterday was full of laughter, and today it is divided into yin and yang.
One is a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, the other is an accident who died unjustly, and a pair of poor mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly for eight or nine minutes before stopping.
"Mom, I came this time, I can only see you alone, I am going back to the underworld soon, you must take good care of yourself, and help me take care of Xiaotian and Erya by the way."
Ermao cried as much as he could, forgetting about business.
"Son, what do you lack to give your mother a dream, and your mother will burn it for you."
As soon as her mother shouted, Ermao's figure disappeared in front of her.
In Ermao's hometown, the mother who was guarding the spirit was already asleep because she was too tired, and suddenly woke up.
"Son, today is your first seven, have you come back to visit your mother? Are you missing your mother? Mother misses you too, my son! What a miserable death you had! ”
Hearing the movement of the mourning hall, Ermao's two sisters immediately ran in.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom?"
Seeing that her mother, who was already asleep, suddenly got up and cried, Ermao's second sister hurriedly hugged her mother.
"Mom, take care of your body, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Xiaotian and Erya, you must not make any mistakes, Mom!"
Ermao's eldest sister also ran in, she pulled over a large basket of paper money and gold ingots, lit it with a candle on the altar, and cried while burning:
"Ermao, sister knows that you died unjustly, I can't bear to let my mother and children die, my sister will burn more for you, you will be homesick in the future, so you will come to my sister, I am short of money, I will also come to my sister, and my sister will send it to you on time. But don't you always come to our mother, my mother is so old, she can't stand the toss. Ermao, if you can hear my sister's words, you can pity our mother! ”
The crying in the mourning hall was so loud that I couldn't stop at all!
Who said there is no true love in the world?
The white light flashed in the room, the picture switched, and Ermao returned to the small room in the underworld.
The bull pushed the door in and pulled him up from the bed.
"Hurry up and follow me out, there are still people lining up behind!"
Ermao was pulled out of the small room by the bull's head in despair.
Niu Tou and Ma saw Ermao's face full of tears, grief-stricken, and they also sympathized with Ermao's experience, and the two didn't mention the incense, so they accompanied Ermao to stand in the hall for a while.
"Brother Niu, Brother Ma, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions when I saw my mother, please forgive the two big brothers."
Ermao bowed deeply to the bull head and horse face:
"Thank you two big brothers for giving me this opportunity to go back and meet my mother, the younger brother can't repay it, this little incense, please let the two big brothers be, don't refuse, the little brother still has many places to rely on the two big brothers in the future."
Ermao reacted from his grief, looked at his waist card, and found that there were a lot of incense in it: paper money, ingots, and even his favorite red plum cigarettes and Erguotou There are a lot, so he quickly took out half of it and handed it to Niu Tou Ma Mian.
If you promise someone else's things, you must do it, which is the principle of Ermao's life.
Oh no, I almost forgot, Ermao is now a ghost, and it should be the principle of being a ghost.
As soon as Ma Mian saw what Ermao took out, he immediately pulled his clothes in a gear to block everything.
"Let's get out of here first!"
The bull head also reacted, his face was overjoyed, and he ran to a very cheap corner with Ermao.
"Brother Ermao, don't take this thing out of a place where there are people next time, this is genuine!"
Niu Tou pointed to the seven or eight red plum cigarettes and dozens of 300 ml bottles of Erguotou that Ermao took out.
"yes, this thing is a rare genuine product, don't let people target it!"
Ma Mian also said seriously.
Ermao was confused.
"Two big brothers, this is just 8 pieces of 5 pieces of red plum smoke and 25 pieces of two pot heads, the two big brothers are ......"
