Chapter Thirty-Seven: Pick You Up, Send You
Naruya really loves wine, and every time he sees me, he invites me to drink together. Today I was also curious about the old woman, so I became more active, and after being invited by Mingye, I took Fu Xi shoulder to shoulder with him and said, "Let's go, the time in the human world goes fast, and it will be dark in a while, so I have to go quickly."
Naruto pursed her lips and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to drink something fresh."
After following Naruya for a few blocks, the three of us finally stopped at the door of a chic-shaped restaurant.
The restaurant was very lively, and when I looked inside, it turned out that someone was singing.
As soon as we stepped into the restaurant, a shopkeeper greeted us, he nodded and said: "Good afternoon, a few guest officers, the hall of the store is full, there is only one bamboo room outside the hall, a few people take a look, do you want to move to the bamboo room?"
I turned my head to look out and saw only a few small houses made of bamboo and thatch on three sides. People who come to this restaurant should go to the stage inside, so sitting in the bamboo room is actually no different from going to an ordinary restaurant, and even sitting on the street to drink is not as comfortable as going to an ordinary restaurant to drink.
I raised my feet and was about to change places, but Ming also casually ordered a few dishes and a few pots of wine and took me and Fu Xi into the bamboo room.
Seeing that it was going to rain, Fu Xi changed places with me and let me sit inside, and then said to Ming Ye: "It's ventilated and leaking here, why do you insist on drinking here?"
Ming also took the wine brought by Xiao Er, and poured a glass for me and Fu Xi: "The drama in this restaurant is a must, although I can't sit inside, but I can hear it when I sit outside, the little sister is in the lower realm for the first time, and everything that can't eat, drink and play is in the heavenly realm."
Originally, not much of the sound of singing could be heard, and after the rain, nothing could be heard.
It's just that Ming Ye doesn't seem to be affected by the heavy rain, and he shakes his head alone with a wine glass, and sighs from time to time "Life is like a play, and a play is like life".
I saw that he had drunk several glasses of wine, and thought that it was time to ask about the old woman, so I cleared my throat, but before I could ask, the old woman appeared outside the bamboo room.
The old woman, holding a slightly worn umbrella, walked up to Naruya, raised her hand and put something on the table, then took a step back and saluted Naruya.
When I looked over at the table, I saw that the old woman had placed a copper coin on the table, and if I guessed correctly, it should have been given to her by Naruya.
The old woman always stood outside the bamboo house, and she and Ming were separated by a few bamboos, and after retreating and saluting, she did not advance for half a minute.
Ming also glanced at the copper coin on the table and said, "I gave it to your son, you don't have to ...... it."
The old woman interrupted Naiya's words: "I saw Childe when I was young, and after decades, Childe's appearance has not changed. I know that Gongzi must not be an ordinary person, and I am very grateful for Gongzi's protection in the past few decades. It's just that now that I'm leaving, Childe doesn't have to come again, I wish Childe well. ”
After saying that, the old woman saluted slightly, turned and plunged into the rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that it was impossible to see the people in the rain.
Ming also took back the copper coins on the table, picked up the cup and said to me and Fu Xi, "Have a drink."
Fu Xi lifted the cup and touched it with Ming Ye's cup: "She is full of dead energy, I'm afraid she won't live long, won't you send her off?"
Ming also drank the wine, then put down the wine glass and looked sideways at the rain outside the bamboo house: "I came to pick her up today, and the rain is heavy today, so you can't play, otherwise go to Bi Xiang's place to rest for a day."
Fu Xi thought about it for a while, and simply proposed: "Since I met you, then you can take Sui'er to the underworld for a walk, and I will wait for you at Bi Xiang."
Ming also glanced at me: "It's okay, then I'll help you take your little sister for half a day."
I asked Fu Xi, "Aren't you going with me?"
Ming also stood up and put the money for wine and food on the table: "Fu Xi is very timid, he doesn't dare to go to the underworld, I'll just take you there."
Fu Xi glared at Mingye, then turned his head and coaxed me: "If you go to Mingye Realm, he will definitely entertain you well, and I will wait for you at Bi Xiang's place."
Seeing that they both said so, I didn't say anything more.
Fu Xi went to Bi Xiang's residence first, and I went with Ming to pick up the old woman's soul.
Naruya and I stayed outside the courtyard in the countryside, and it was not until night that we saw a wisp of spirit come out of the house.
This wisp of soul belonged to the old woman of the day, and when she went out, she looked back frequently, presumably worried about her sleeping son.
Naruya stood at my side with her hands in her hands, seemingly in no hurry to take her soul away.
The old woman walked for a long time before she reached the gate of the courtyard, and when she looked up and saw that it was me and Naruya, she had a relieved look in her eyes, and then lowered her head and followed the two of us, walking slowly towards the underworld.
Naruto didn't talk to her along the way, but I, I looked back at the old woman several times, and saw that she always kept her head down, and it was difficult to hide her lonely look, so I wanted to talk to her, but Naruya patted my arm and shook my head at me, I knew that this meant that I was not allowed to speak, so I shut up again.
It wasn't until I entered the entrance to the underworld that Naruya raised his hand and patted the top of my head, and then he turned to look at the old woman.
I also turned around, and was shocked to see that the old woman had now become a young girl.
Naruto also said in a gentle voice: "Now that you have left the human world, don't think about the things of the human world anymore, everything in the past is in smoke, go and reincarnate after the ghost gate."
The girl raised her head, her eyes full of tears: "Lord Ghost, please, let me see Yun'er again, he is still so young, how can he live alone?"
Ming also frowned, turned around and walked forward again: "You are no longer from the other side, so don't regenerate those gratuitous thoughts, let's go."
The girl followed behind Naruya, crying and trembling.
I really can't bear it, Ming Mingming's hands under his sleeves are pinched white, why doesn't he just look back?
I turned and grabbed the girl's shoulder, but she screamed in pain, and white smoke came out of her body, and I was startled, and hurriedly let go of my hand and stepped back, stepping on a stone and falling heavily to the ground.
Naruya's eyes were full of fear, he hurriedly rushed over and pinched a few handprints to summon back the girl's spreading soul, and when the soul gathered, he ripped off his own blood and dripped it on the place where the soul had just been touched by my hands.
The girl cried heartbreakingly, her eyes were red, and her tears were like rivers, and she couldn't stop it.
Naruto also hugged her soul tightly, bowing her head to reassure her over and over again.
I knew I had done something wrong, so I sat still and didn't dare to move, for fear that I would do something wrong again.
Naruya bowed his head and kissed the top of the girl's hair, and then personally sent her into the ghost gate.
I don't know if it's because the atmosphere in the underworld is too heavy, or if the fall is too painful, my nose is sore, and I feel like I'm going to cry but not cry.
Worried that Naruto would also misunderstand, I took a few deep breaths, quickly pinched my sleeve and wiped my eyes, and then recovered.
After Naruya had sent away the girl's soul, he turned his head and saw that I was still sitting on the ground, so he hurried over and helped me up.
While helping me pat the dust on my clothes, he said, "I'm sorry little sister, I was in too much of a hurry just now, I forgot that you were also there, did you fall somewhere?"
I shook my head, moved my foot slightly, and found that my right foot could no longer move.
I flew slightly, lifted the soles of my feet off the ground, and walked as I did, pretending I wasn't hurt.
Naruto also took me to a big rock, and just looked at the long line of souls in front of me from a distance: "Little sister, don't worry too much about what happened just now, it's my fault."
Seeing that he took my mistake over, I was really embarrassed, so I took the mistake back: "How can it be your fault? It's obviously my fault, I hurt her. ”
Ming also shook his head: "Little sister's true body is the chaotic fire of the Three Realms to the Yang, it is too bright and hot, and the underworld is to the yin, and the creatures in the underworld can't bear it, so when we entered the underworld, I used my divine power to cover the burning qi around you, but I forgot to tell you that you can't touch the creatures inside." The little sister first became an immortal, and she didn't know it, so it was my fault if I didn't say it. ”
"Then why did you ......," I looked at Nakaya, "why did you promise Fu Xi to bring me?" ”
Ming Ye still stared at the girl's distant soul: "Little sister, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not."
He paused: "Do you like Liaocheng or Fuxi?"
"Huh?" He inserted the topic so abruptly that I was a little overwhelmed, "Why do you ask?" ”
Naruto also smiled: "It seems that you don't know much about what love is, otherwise I wouldn't have shocked you so much with this question."
This question really shocked me, and I really didn't know how to answer it, how to call it a like, I don't know.
Ming also said: "The Three Realms of Liao are the strongest, there is no fairy who does not love him, and he has also diligently guarded you for 50,000 years, this friendship is difficult to give up." Fu Xi ...... I understand why he likes you so much, because you are an absolutely bright fairy without any dark side, and no one in the Three Realms can match you, which is also what he dreams of the most. He has been very lonely for tens of thousands of years, so when he finally met you, he wants to express his feelings unreservedly. ”
"Why did Fu Xi ......" I was about to ask why Fu Xi was so lonely, but Ming also turned his head to look at me, his expression was very sad.
He said: "Little sister, the relationship is the most bitter, and there is no room for three people to mix together without explanation." If you really like one of them, or you don't like either of them, you have to make it clear that you don't want to go back to my old ways. It's because I didn't make it clear, that's why I can only struggle like this, and if I had told her all my feelings at that time, maybe I would be able to relax a little now. ”
I could clearly feel Naruya's sadness, and the air in the underworld was so low that my eyes were sour several times.
