In the dim alley, the old soul walked back and forth, from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, and from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, with his hands behind his back, muttering in a small voice, not impatient, only the freedom of leisure.

Song Ci pulled the millet grains and walked over.

When the old man saw the millet grains first, he immediately smiled and said, "Little Walker, I haven't already ...... with you."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed Song Ci on the side, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly arched his hand to Song Ci and said, "I've seen Mr. Song." ”

He looked at ease just now, and his face showed a slight hint of uneasiness.

"Old man, if you don't return to the sea of souls, I'm afraid you will have the worry of losing your soul." Song Ci said.

"Ah, I know, but I'm waiting for my lover, I promised her." The old man replied.

Song Ci looked at him and saw that he had thinning hair, was wearing a blue tunic, thin cheeks, and a pair of black-framed reading glasses, looking like a cultural person.

As if sensing Song Ci's gaze, the old man smiled: "I'm not highly educated, but my lover likes to dress up like this." ”

"You have a good relationship with your lover." Song Ci asked.

"Let's go to the front park and talk." The old man suggested.

Song Ci nodded and did not object, although this alley is remote, there are still people passing by from time to time.

So a few people came to a small park nearby, saying that it was a park, but it was actually a small square.

At this time, the square is full of people, dancing, frolicking, running, skateboarding, and it is very lively.

Fortunately, the old man was familiar with this place and found a relatively secluded place.

"It's so lively, if only my wife could come out for a walk."

The old man looked at the bustling crowd and sighed with emotion.

"Is the old man okay?" Song Ci asked casually.

When he refers to the old man, he is referring to the old man's lover.

When the old man heard this, he said, "I need someone to take care of it, and I guess I won't have a few days to live." ”

His tone was unusually flat, and at his age, he had already seen death very calmly.

The old man's name is Wan Youde, a former worker in the No. 2 Machinery Factory, and after retirement, he teased his grandson, which seems to be ordinary and has nothing special.

But when he was young, he was also a man of the hour, running transportation, reversing business, opening a restaurant and running a factory.

In short, his life is the word toss.

Wan Youde talked about his life, quite a little self-satisfied, although he didn't make much money in the end, but his life is far more exciting than others, so this life is worth it.

"The most sorry thing in my life is my lover, you don't know, when she was young, many people liked her, but in the end she still chose me......"

Speaking of his lover, Wan Youde, who has always looked indifferent, even his eyebrows seem to be full of joy.

"My lover is still a college student, she can study well......" Wan Youde's face was full of pride, and he looked proud.

"Really?"

"I'm beautiful, I'm still a college student, I took me home, you say me, can I be nice to others?"

"It's supposed to be good to people."

"But when I was young, I didn't understand this, I ran long distances, she waited for me, I went south to do business, she waited for me, I drank and socialized, she waited for me to ......"

"She's been waiting for me all her life, I'm sorry for her......"

"When I'm old, I can't toss anymore, and finally return to her......"

"She told me that she had been waiting for me all her life, and she was afraid of waiting, and she didn't want to wait anymore......"

"So I promised her that I would never let her wait again, I waited for her, she bought vegetables, I helped her carry the food basket, etc., she cooked, I waited at the kitchen door, she took a shower, I waited outside the bathroom, she loved to go to the library to read, I waited outside the library......"

"In this life, I suddenly found that I was still the most comfortable when I was old......

"Then your lover, why didn't you tell you earlier, she didn't want to wait?"

"Because she understands my hard work, to support the family, I have three children, two sons, a daughter, none of them are worry-free, my wife was a technician in the machinery factory, and then laid off, no job, a family of four, I am alone, this is not counting the two old people......"

"I've tossed all my life, I'm not rich, but I haven't let my children freeze and starve, and I'm content......"

"Old man, you're amazing." Song Ci praised and said.

Wan Youde shook his head, "What's amazing, thinking about it later, I still suffered the loss of no culture, otherwise life would definitely be better." ”

"It's good, but you have a good relationship with your lover."

"Haha, I was noisy when I was young, but she accommodated me, marriage is like this, there must be someone who is soft, and life can last long."

"That's why you want to wait for your lover to hit the road together?"

Wan Youde nodded and said: "When she was in good health before, she joked that if she went first, she would definitely not wait for me, because she had waited enough for her life, so I said, if I went first, I would wait for her, before I died, I told her, let her live well and enjoy the days without me annoying her, I will wait for her on Huangquan Road, so that she doesn't have to ...... in a hurry"

"How long have you been waiting?" Wan Youde asked.

"It's been a long time." Millet grains whispered to the side.

In her memory, a long time has passed since she first met this old man, and during this period, she will come to ask the old man every once in a while if he would like to go with her, and the answer is no.

In fact, like Wan Youde, there are various reasons, there are still many deceased people who stay in the world, and not all of them are willing to return to the sea of souls after death, or go to the so-called Taoyuan Village with the walkers.

"I was seventy-eight when I died, and this year I'm ninety." Wan Youde said with a smile.

"Has it been thirteen years?" Song Ci was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Wan Youde nodded.

"However, if you don't return to the Sea of Souls, I'm afraid you'll be gone." Song Ci looked at his weak soul.

In Song Ci's eyes, the more powerful the soul, the clearer the figure, and Wan Youde's body was almost completely transparent, like green smoke, as if as long as a gust of wind blew, he would dissipate at any time.

"Is the sea of souls the ultimate destination of man?" Wan Youde suddenly asked.

Song Ci shook his head and said: "No, you will re-enter reincarnation, this is like a circle, from death to life, and constantly reincarnated, so naturally there is no such thing as a final destination." ”

"Then in the next life, will I still remember the events of this life?"

"Naturally not?"

"And am I still me?" Wan Youde asked with a smile.

Song Ci was silent when he heard this.

Wan Youde stood up with a smile.

"In that case, what is the difference between reincarnation and soul dissipation?" Wan Youde continued to ask rhetorically.

Song Ci continued to be silent because the answer was obvious.

It makes no difference.

The death of memory, is it a complete death, the memory is gone, are you still you?

Wan Youde didn't want to get an answer from Song Ci, so after asking, he put his hands behind his back and left slowly until he disappeared.

"Mr. Song."

Just when Song Ci was stunned, Millet suddenly called him softly.

Song Ci reached out and touched her little head, then stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Mr. Song, if I go and catch him back, I'......m so powerful," said Millet Grain, clenching the small hammer in his hand.

Song Ci asked a little funny: "You haven't caught him back for so long, why do you want to catch him back now?" ”

"Because grandpa is not a bad person." Millet grain.

"So he's a bad guy now?" Song Ci asked rhetorically.

"It's definitely not good that he made Mr. Song unhappy." Millet grains did not hesitate to be authentic.

"I'm not unhappy, it's just that he said something that touched me a little."

This question, in fact, Song Ci has thought about it before, but he has been avoiding this question, after people re-enter reincarnation, are you still you?

Your existence is not only physical and soulful, but also family, experiences, memories, and so on, and this is a complete person.

A new body, a new family, new experiences and memories, then are you still you?

This is also the fundamental reason why he wants to resurrect Yun Chuyao, otherwise he can directly let Yun Chuyao re-enter the reincarnation, wait for ten or twenty years, and then continue the frontier.

But is that still Yun Chuyao? What's the difference between this and him finding another woman to marry?

"Let's go."

Song Ci pulled the millet grains and went back to Taoyuan Village directly.

But a week later, he heard the news of Wan Youde again from the mouth of Millet Grain, and he waited for his lover, and the two returned to the Sea of Souls hand in hand.

He also asked Millet to bring a word to Song Ci.

"One life is enough, and the next life is determined."

Of course, this is a later story, not for the time being, when Song Ci returned to Taoyuan Village.

Not only are Cai Dumpling and Yun Chuyao there, but Little Butterfly has also come back from visiting her friends, and she looks like she is in a good mood, and she is playing with Cai Dumpling.

"Brother Fairy."

Seeing Song Ci, the vegetable dumplings immediately ran over.

"What? Go play your own. Song Ci touched her little head.

"Here's for you."

Cai Dumpling suddenly took out a small object from his backpack and put it in Song Ci's palm.

Song Ci looked at it, but it was a "ceramic" bell and a cute duckling.

Yun Chuyao walked over from the side, also carrying a bell in his hand, and said with a smile: "She also gave me one." ”

"Why did you give us this?" Song Ci asked in some surprise.

"Because I want to thank Brother Fairy and Aunt Yaoyao for paying me a salary, this is my favorite I have ever seen, give it to you."

As he spoke, he turned and ran towards the swing, and soon the laughter of vegetable dumplings sounded on the hillside again.

"This little thing." Song Ci was a little touched by this little guy.

At the same time, I sighed for her well-behaved and sensible.

Children are well-behaved and sensible, and they will only understand if they have "experience", and they will not learn to be well-behaved and sensible for no reason.

However, although the gift is good, Song Ci is inconvenient to take out.

This thing is transformed by incense, and it will disappear directly when you take it out, unless you use the power of the wish to make a wish to make a wish.

After thinking about it, he reached out and gently pinched it in the air, and a wisp of incense was pinched in his hand and turned into a silk thread.

He took the bell from Yun Chuyao's hand, then threaded them together with silk thread and hung them under the eaves of the thatched hut.

As the breeze blows, it makes a pleasant tinkling sound.

——

When Song Ci returned home from Taoyuan Village, it was already past eleven o'clock.

After washing up, he directly took out the [Youxian Pillow] and entered the dream.

Every time you enter a dream, you feel like you're in control of the world.

In the dream world, each dream is like the stars in the sky, and these dreams are combined together, just like the Milky Way in the sky, dense and innumerable.

Fortunately, there is the existence of [Immortal Pillow], otherwise if you want to enter a specific dream, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

Song Ci, who was standing in the "Sea of Stars", moved with his heart, and his body immediately fell in one direction like a meteor.

——

"Lao Zhou, let's go have a drink after work?"

Colleague Lao Zhang stopped what he was doing and said to Zhou Hongsong, who was painting the wall.

"Yes." Zhou Hongsong happily responded.

The surrounding scenery immediately rippled like water waves, and when it calmed down, Zhou Hongsong was already sitting in front of a barbecue stall.

There was a dazzling array of food on the table, beer bottles everywhere, and in addition to Lao Zhang, there was also a person who Zhou Hongsong felt strange and familiar to sitting opposite.

None of that matters, though.

Zhou Hongsong picked up a bottle of wine on the table and said arrogantly: "Drink." ”

So Lao Zhang immediately touched a glass with him.

"When I get rich, I must take my wife on a trip abroad." Lao Zhang said.

Zhou Hongsong sighed when he heard this: "If I have money, I will buy a suite for my son in the city, and if I buy him a house, he will definitely take care of me." ”

It turned out that after Zhou Hongsong was arrested as a suspect, although he was finally released due to lack of evidence, his wife divorced him, and his son also followed his wife, so he didn't pay much attention to him and disliked him a little.

Over the years, he has been trying to make money, just to repair the father-son relationship.

His concept is very simple and simple, he thinks that his son doesn't care about him, just because he is poor, he has no money in the future, if he has money, his son will definitely not have the current attitude, so all these years, he has been working hard, just to work hard to earn some money.

"Lao Zhou, hasn't your son forgiven you yet?" Lao Zhang asked.

Zhou Hongsong took a sip of stuffy wine.

"Nope."

"Lao Zhang, we are best friends, you tell me, did you kill that person?"

Lao Zhang's voice suddenly became faint.

"Of course I didn't kill it, I didn't kill anyone." Zhou Hongsong's voice was a little excited.

The whole dream world began to tremble, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

"Lao Zhang, I believe you didn't kill anyone." Lao Zhang hurriedly said.

With Lao Zhang's words, the world became stable again.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, now that you have money, will you marry another wife?" Lao Zhang asked again.

"Women?" Zhou Hongsong's face showed a hint of confusion, but soon turned into a lustful appearance again.

The world around it transforms again, turning into a glittering alley.

The young lady in a short skirt with a back and a bare breasts stood all the way.

"Boss, come and play......"
