From the moment we were born, we were sentenced to death. We just don't know when we're going to carry it out.
Everyone knows this truth, but we are trying to forget it. We go to school, we work, we earn money, we support our families, we marry, we have children. After a busy life, until old age, you can idle down to think whether you should face death.
At this point, we have to suggest to ourselves that we have lived enough for so many years. So be it.
In fact, compared to endless death, this short period of a hundred years was like a blink of an eye. It was too fast, and also too short. How could he possibly live enough?
But what can we do? People would always die. They could only use this kind of psychological hint to make themselves forget about the horror of death.
Living people hypnotize themselves all the time, let their heads sink into the sand like ostriches, and forget about death. When true death arrived, many people actually didn't realize it.
The merchant was clearly such a person. He was dead, and he did not know that he was dead. I needed to wake him up and let him know. It was cruel, but I decided to do it.
Trying to keep my tone even, I said to the merchant, "Do you remember? How did you die? "
The merchant patted his head, "Let me think. I need to think."
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and looked at me with a pained expression. "I remember now."
I didn't say anything, but looked at him with a kind of encouragement. He had to remember the reason for his death, and the ghost had to accept that he was dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to integrate into the world of ghosts, and he wouldn't be able to adapt to everything around him.
The merchant's voice was somewhat low, "I remember now, I am currently discussing business. The other party's boss was a pig head. If not for the fact that his dad was the bureau chief of Industry and Commerce, his company would have collapsed long ago. But he had a good life, so I had to treat him to a meal and accompany him in smiling as a grandson. But he wouldn't give up and he wouldn't sign a contract with me. I know, he wants to hang me for a while and let me spend even more money. "
"I had no choice but to call Sister Li and ask her to arrange for the release of the house. Lou Cheng was a very considerate person. After I met her, I raised her and forbade her to do those things again. But sometimes, some bosses are too hard to deal with, so I can only get Lou Lan to step in. "
"That is a person who knows the cold and the hot. No matter how decent a person was, they would blush and feel their heart palpitate when they saw her. I called Lou Cheng and knew there would be no problem with the deal. "
"Just then, I received another call from the hospital. Said my wife was bleeding. I'm afraid that my life is in danger and I'm rescuing her at the hospital. "
When I heard that, I was dumbfounded. "After so much commotion, do you have a wife?"
I didn't notice it myself, but there was a hint of disdain in my tone.
The merchant nodded in embarrassment.
Qin Yangshi actually said in a low voice, "Ninth day, don't talk about him like that. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
The businessman added: "My wife is pregnant and is now suffering from massive bleeding. If something happens, I will immediately buy a plane ticket to go back. But the plane stopped and I changed trains. "
"But on my way to the train station, I fell off the platform in a state of panic."
The merchant sighed and said, "I am dead. This car, I shouldn't have gotten on, I'll get off. "
I stopped him and smiled. "Actually, you should get on this car as the people on it are all dead."
The merchant looked at the people in the carriage and shivered. He asked me with a pale face, "Are all of you dead?"
I finally saw someone who was even more scared of ghosts than I was. I couldn't help but feel proud. I nodded. "That's right! We're all dead!" You're dead too. "
The merchant asked again, "Why are there so many ghosts on this car? Isn't there a steward? Where's the security check? "
It could be seen that this fellow had already started spouting nonsense. How could a car carrying ghosts have any security guards or flight attendants?
I said to the merchant, "This car is not a train to the human world. It is bound for the underworld."
After the merchant heard this, he suddenly squatted down and started crying, "But I haven't seen my wife yet. I wonder how she is doing now. "
I was trying to console him, to get him out of the way. Who knew that the woman in the seat had stood up. She held the child in one hand and patted the man on the head with the other.
The merchant suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in shock, "You, you, you …" Wife, why are you here? "
The woman sighed and said to the merchant, "The child and I are dead. The child did not survive, and I did not survive. You didn't know us just now. It was so fierce, but it scared me. "
The merchant's tears flowed freely. A grown man was crying loudly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I don't recognize anyone."
The woman held him and gently stroked his hair. "Okay, okay. God pity us for letting us meet here. If we die, we'll be reunited. "
The merchant wiped his tears and nodded. "Yes, we are reunited here."
Before he could finish his sentence, tears had already started streaming down his face again.
The woman handed the child to the merchant and whispered, "This is our daughter. Look at her."
The merchant held the baby in his arms and the baby looked at him curiously. He suddenly shook his head vigorously and said to the woman, "Wife, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have someone outside. I found a woman. "
The woman sighed. "I know. I was going to divorce you. But we are dead. When it comes to matters of life and death, I don't want to care about that anymore. "
The merchant kept apologizing and kept promising not to offend him again.
The woman pulled him back, "Alright, I'm about to go over. Make way."
The merchant was stunned and hurriedly apologized. The family of three crowded into their seats and gave me the passage.
As I passed, I saw the two of them talking to each other.
I scratched my head and mumbled as I walked, "You can see a masochist even after you've become a ghost? "What kind of world is this?"
Qin Yangshi curiously asked me: "Ninth day, what is masochistic?"
I thought about it and I said, "Well... that he was bullying the bachelorman. make them jealous. "
Qin Yangshi replied with an "oh", then muttered softly: "How can bachelorman bully me? They should be bullying others. "Either they listen to the wall or they steal clothes, I'm most afraid of them."
I could only smile helplessly and continue walking towards the next carriage.
Very quickly, my gaze locked onto two people, one was Uncle Tang, the other was scrawny monkey.
The two of them were in a very sorry state. Their clothes were tattered, and there were quite a few scars on their faces. It seemed that the room had tormented them quite a bit.
The interior of the carriage was extremely quiet. No one moved at all. After I entered, their gazes immediately turned towards me.
I smirked and said, "Uncle Tang, what's wrong with you? You got beaten up by someone? "
Uncle Tang said, "Little brother, if you came to Cypress City a few years ago, why would you call Xiaolong as well? Everyone has to call you big brother."
I sneered, too lazy to acknowledge him. I'm looking for someone today, not competing with them.
scrawny monkey suddenly whistled and said, "What's wrong with this little widow? Did I follow you? Not bad, there are spoils of war for the just and brave. "
I casually grabbed a cup of water from the table beside us and smashed it onto scrawny monkey's head.
The water glass was made of paper, so he didn't know which shop's paper was still tied together. This thing could not hurt scrawny monkey, but this kind of face-smacking action made him angry.
I didn't wait for him to jump up and fight back, I took out the dagger and placed it against his neck. Do you know what this car is for? "To the Underworld, I think you want to use the frying pan."
A living man is not afraid of dying, but a kid is afraid. The living weren't sure if there would be ghosts after death, but the kid didn't have that kind of luck.
scrawny monkey was scared, his face was a little pale, and he said to Qin Yangshi and I: "I wish you two a hundred years of peace and harmony."
I said, "Bullshit. Your father is already dead, how can I stay old? "
scrawny monkey said with a bitter face, "Then, I wish you and Mei Mei Mei."
I spat again. "I didn't get along with her."
The scrawny monkey was close to tears: "Then I wish you lovers a happy marriage."
I used my dagger to pat his face. "What is your level of education? You know quite a few words."
scrawny monkey replied, "I haven't been to school for a few years. My mother is a matchmaker."
I played with scrawny monkey enough and just as I was about to leave with my dagger, Uncle Tang stood up and said, "Ninth day. You bullied my brother and you're just going to leave? "
I looked at Uncle Tang in confusion. He had always been very obedient and knew that Mr. Zhao and I couldn't afford to offend him. What's going on today?
Uncle Tang came closer and whispered to me, "I know you're not dead."
I looked at him in surprise.
Uncle Tang smiled a little complacently. "As expected. If you aren't dead, why did you come here? You aren't here to look for Little Tang Wei are you? "
I was extremely surprised in my heart. These old Jianghu are indeed not simple, they actually guessed my purpose.
I calmly replied, "No, I turned around and left."
I had to stay away from him so he wouldn't ruin me.
Uncle Tang sighed, and said: "So that's not it. If it is, maybe I can even help you."
I lightly said, "It's alright."
Uncle Tang replied, "Alright then, if you can't find me later, you can just come back and ask me."
When I heard that, I could no longer hold on. I turned and asked Uncle Tang, "From what you're saying, do you know where the Little Tang Wei is?"
