Chapter 298: Goodbye
"Taotao?"
The cigarette butt in Tao Guangcai's hand fell to the ground, and he stood up excitedly.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" He asked, rubbing his eyes, surprised.
"Hee-hee, Dad, you're not dreaming, I'm back." Tao Congzhi was also very happy.
Tao Guangcai first touched Tao Congzhi's head in confusion, and then touched his little face.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? β
At this time, he was completely confused, and his whole body was a little dizzy.
"Close the faΓ§ade first, and then go back to the house." Zhao Hongying said.
Then he took his son and walked to the back room.
Looking at their departing figures, Tao Guangcai felt that his memory seemed to be confused.
He even rose, and his son didn't have an accident, everything was just his own crankiness.
But with his mind in mind, he still mechanically closed the door of the shop.
When I got back to the back room, I saw my wife washing rice in the kitchen and cooking, and my son was also there, chattering as if he was talking about something.
Tao Guangcai opened the glass door of the kitchen and walked in.
Seeing his son squatting at his wife's feet, helping her pick vegetables, he looked much more well-behaved than usual, which made him feel unreal again.
So Tao Guangcai walked over, squatted down, and looked at his son carefully.
"Daddy."
Tao Congzhi tilted his face and called him again.
Tao Guangcai reached out to touch his little face, found that his hands were full of dust, and hurriedly wiped his clothes, then carefully put his hand on Tao Congzhi's face and rubbed it gently.
"Son."
"Yes, Daddy." Tao Congzhi showed a smile.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? It's really you. Tao Guangcai said excitedly, and there was a faint mist in his eyes.
"Of course not, I'll tell you, I met Brother Fairy, Brother Fairy asked me why I stayed in the world, I said I had an unfulfilled wish, Brother Fairy asked me to come back to see you, and say goodbye to you for the last time."
Tao Congzhi said with a smile, for him, it was an extremely lucky thing to meet the fairy brother.
But listening to Tao Guangcai and Zhao Hongying's ears, it was very uncomfortable in their hearts, and Zhao Hongying, who was washing rice, even stopped moving, leaving only the sound of the faucet.
"What the hell is going on, you and I have a good talk, and where are you going? Can't you stay? β
Tao Guangcai touched his son's cheek, with doubts and begging in his eyes.
Begged him, for whatever reason, as long as he could stay with them.
Tao Congzhi, who was squatting on the ground, looked up at his mother and saw Zhao Hongying looking at him with his head down and his eyes full of kindness.
In the vegetable market just now, Tao Guangcai just told her about meeting the immortals, but did not elaborate, many things, Zhao Hongying did not know.
"Mom."
Tao Congzhi called her, then lowered his head and whispered, "I'm already dead......
"Nonsense, you are obviously ...... well" Tao Congzhi was interrupted by Tao Guangcai before he finished speaking.
"Dad, don't interrupt me, will you listen to what I have to say?" Tao Congzhi raised his head and said.
"Okay, you say, Daddy won't interrupt you." Tao Guangcai hurriedly said.
"When I got out of school that day, that villain covered my mouth and nose, I felt out of breath, and soon fainted, and when I woke up again, I felt that my neck hurt so much, I wanted to shout, but I couldn't shout, I felt the wind from my neck into my stomach, it was cold, I felt so cold, I wanted to get up, but I didn't have any strength in my body......"
Tao Congzhi wiped his tears and remembered what happened that day, and he trembled all over.
Tao Guangcai hugged his son in his arms and comforted him in a low voice, but suddenly reacted, is it too late now.
And Zhao Hongying held on to the stove, her heart was like a knife, and she was dizzy.
"How can you be so cruel, how can you be so cruel......" She was so sad that she was almost speechless.
"But soon, I didn't feel bad, I didn't feel cold, I was light, and it became what I am now...... It became a trick, I searched for a long time before I came home, I saw Mom, you and Dad were arguing, I wanted you to stop arguing, but you couldn't hear me, and you couldn't see me, I could only follow you every day......"
"That day, the fairy brother saw me when he passed by the vegetable market, I chased after me, he asked me why I stayed in the world and didn't leave, I told him, I was reluctant to ...... my parents"
"Brother Fairy said, when you catch the murderer, you will help me fulfill my wish, so now you can all see me, because Brother Fairy gave me this ......"
Tao Congzhi raised his arm, and Tao Guangcai and his wife noticed that there was a jade talisman on his wrist.
"With it, you can see me and talk to me."
"Then this, do you want to return it to the immortals? Can you wear it all the time? Zhao Hongying immediately said anxiously when she heard this.
In her mind, as long as there is this thing, won't her son be able to stay with them all the time?
"No, Brother Fairy said, this effect is only six hours, and once six hours pass, I will become a trick again, and it will be useless." Tao Congzhi pretended to be as if nothing had happened.
In fact, he was very reluctant to leave at the thought of leaving, but he didn't want his parents to worry.
"Where is that fairy, and can we meet him? We beg him to ......," Tao Guangcai said with a hint of anticipation.
"No, after a person dies, he has to go to the Sea of Souls and re-enter reincarnation, or go to Taoyuan Village with Master Xing to ......."
So Tao Congzhi explained to them some rules and where to go after the death, and the husband and wife suddenly realized when they heard this.
Although I don't know who the fairy brother in my son's mouth is, if I can make my son turn from a trick into a human, I know that he must be an ordinary, a person with great ability and great ability.
So they still have a glimmer of hope, hoping to see each other, begging each other, in case, in case the other party agrees.
After relieving herself, Zhao Hongying took a deep breath and said to Tao Guangcai, who was squatting beside her son: "Husband, you go buy some food, buy more, roast duck, braised beef, pork ribs, buy some of your favorite food, buy more." β
But regardless of whether their son will leave or not, now they have to let their son have a good meal.
If not, then it will be the last time they will eat together, and she will let her son have his fill, eat well, and leave happily.
Tao Guangcai responded, got up and went out directly, not only buying back many of his son's favorite dishes, but also buying back many of his favorite snacks.
In fact, he vaguely understood in his heart that this would probably be the only time they and their son would be reunited.
It is impossible for the gods to agree to their request, if everyone is like this, the world will already be chaotic, and it is already the greatest mercy to let their son see them.
"Eat more."
Zhao Hongying, on the left, sandwiched a roast duck leg into Tao Congzhi's bowl.
"Eat pork ribs"
Tao Guangcai on the right sandwiched the pork ribs into Tao Congzhi's bowl again, and also sandwiched two chopsticks.
"Dad, Mom, it's too much, I can't eat it, you can eat it too." Tao Cong knows.
Look at Mom sitting on the left, and look at Dad sitting on the right, he is extremely happy at this time.
"We eat too, and we eat ......"
When the husband and wife heard this, they also moved their chopsticks, but they had a feeling that they didn't know the taste of food.
Turning his head to watch his son take a big bite of food, his heart felt sour, if in the future, it would be better if he could always do this.
"Mom, Dad, can I tell you something?"
The husband and wife glanced at each other when they heard this, and then Tao Guangcai spoke first: "Of course you can, we are your parents and can tell us anything." β
"Can you not quarrel in the future, I am dead, I don't blame my father, I don't blame my mother, it's just that I'm unlucky, don't point at each other......" Tao Congzhi lowered his head and said.
"We didn't ......," the couple denied in unison.
"I saw it all." Before the two finished speaking, Tao Congzhi interrupted them.
"You just can't see me, you can't hear me, I've always been in the ......, I don't want you to quarrel, I hope you are well, give me another sister, I've always wanted a sister, my sister is definitely not as naughty as me, she will be very well-behaved, very obedient, no, my brother can also ......"
Tao Congzhi said, tears snapped, and popped and dripped into the rice bowl.
"Mom and Dad don't quarrel, and they won't quarrel again...... "The couple hugged their son and cried.
Time flies, and before you know it, six hours will pass.
Tao Congzhi, who was snuggled on the sofa and was held in the arms of the couple, suddenly struggled to stand up from their arms.
"I'm leaving." Tao Cong knows.
In the confusion of the husband and wife, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared in the living room.
The older one is a burly, handsome young man, while the smaller one is a cute little girl with a peach branch in her hand, wearing a Hanfu and an embroidered bag on her shoulder.
"Are you the Immortal?" The husband and wife hurriedly got up and were about to kneel down to Song Ci.
Song Ci hurriedly stopped the two.
"Lord Immortal, please, let my son stay, stay by our side......" The two looked at Song Ci with a begging face.
Song Ci looked at the two of them and shook his head.
"There is no benefit to your son in doing this......
Song Ci explained to them what harm would be caused to them if he stayed in the world for a long time, and when the two heard this, they could only sigh helplessly.
In fact, they didn't have hope, they just tried, and when they heard the other party's direct refusal, they didn't have much loss.
"Brother Fairy, I'll give this back to you." Tao Congzhi took out the "inch of time" and gave it back to Song Ci.
Song Ci stretched out his hand to take it, and then asked him with a smile: "If there is an afterlife, do you still want to be their son?" β
Tao Congzhi heard this, turned his head, looked at his parents who were standing behind him with a sad face, and then nodded heavily.
"What about you, do you want him to be your son in the next life?"
Hearing this, the couple hurriedly nodded, vaguely as if they understood something.
When Song Ci heard this, he knew to Tao Cong: "Then give me your talisman." β
Tao Congzhi heard this, hurriedly took off the talisman in his hand, handed it to Song Ci, and then he disappeared in front of Tao Guangcai and his wife in an instant, the two of them were not surprised, because Tao Congzhi showed them before in order to win the trust of the two.
Song Ci took the talisman and then made a wish in his heart.
"You put it on your hand and try not to take it off until you have your second child."
Zhao Hongying happily stretched out her hand to take it, and the moment she got it, she felt that the talisman seemed to come to life, and there was a sense of blood connection.
Even faintly felt the presence of his son, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the place where Tao Congzhi was standing.
And Song Ci also looked at Tao Congzhi.
Tao Congzhi also knew that his time was up, so he waved his hand to Song Ci and said, "Goodbye Brother Immortal, goodbye Lord Walker, thank you for helping me." β
Then he waved his hand to Tao Guangcai and Zhao Hongying.
"Goodbye mom and dad."
With his voice, there was a sound of waves in Song Ci's ears, and Tao Congzhi completely disappeared in front of his eyes and disappeared into this world.
And Zhao Hongying, who was wearing a talisman on her wrist, seemed to hear her son's voice, sensed his departure, and shook her hand towards the place where Tao Congzhi disappeared.
"Goodbye."
Her eyes were full of hope.
Goodbye, just for the next reunion.
