Chapter 262 The Story of the Other Shore
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You little girl are so rude."
"Didn't you call yourself an old bastard just now? Humph, there are different opinions."
The two of them had a disagreement, and Liu Chen advised: "Nuomin, stop arguing with the old man, let him finish telling it. I want to hear the story behind it."
"It's still a young man who is well-educated."
"Hey, do you say it or not?"
"What an impatient girl. It is said that after countless reincarnations, one day the Buddha came here and saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary aura and a demonic red like fire. The Buddha came to it and looked carefully. He saw the mystery in it just by looking at it. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry. He suddenly smiled at the sky three times and reached out to pull the flower out of the ground."
The Buddha put the flower in his hand and said with emotion: "You were not allowed to meet each other in the past life. After countless reincarnations, you were not allowed to fall in love with each other. The so-called separation and reunion are just fate and fate. You have the curse of the heavenly court, so that your fate will not be dispersed, and your fate will not be separated. I cannot help you untie this vicious mantra, so I will take you to the other side and let you bloom in the fields."
On the way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld and accidentally wet his clothes by the river. The red flower brought by the Buddha was placed there. When the Buddha came to the other side, he untied the flowers wrapped in his clothes and looked at it, he found that the fiery red flowers had turned pure white. The Buddha pondered for a moment and laughed: "It is better to be very sad than to be very happy. It is better to forget it than to remember it. How can you distinguish right from wrong?
The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it the flower on the other side.
Wu Shan said that he stopped here and looked at the sky, unlike the fun I had just played. He could not tell the joys and sorrows of sadness and joys of the face. He remembered the person who told him this story. Now decades have passed.
Liu Chen glanced at him and became more sure that this guy had a story.
He sighed faintly. He continued, "A lot of years have passed, and there are two people in the world who love each other very much. But one year, the man unfortunately died while going out for work. When he came to the Santu River, he saw bloody red eyes and felt extremely sad. He cried bitterly: I don't want reincarnation, I want to go back to find my wife. She is still waiting for me at home."
He stumbled to Meng Po and before drinking the Forgetful Soup, he asked Meng Po why there are so many things in the world that in the end, this soup only makes people forgetful.
Meng Po smiled but said nothing, just asking him to drink quickly. He stared at the soup blankly and said, "Everyone must forget his affection, but I will never forget it. After the cycle of reincarnation, I will go to find my wife."
After learning about his death, the man's wife was extremely sad and was rescued by the man's family several times. In the end, the woman promised not to commit suicide, but she would be a widow for life.
When the man's family saw that she was strong and was afraid that the old things would be brought up again, they would only make her sad. Secondly, they thought that she was willing to do so. So they agreed to her temporarily and waited until she was emotionally stable before persuading her to remarry. In this way, the woman continued to live in the man's house and made a living by sewing.
Nomine was a girl, completely immersed in this sad story. The old man paused for a moment and said anxiously: "What's going on next? Is this man and his wife again?"
The old man continued, "I said that after this man reincarnated, he was really born in the small town where he lived with his woman. Time flies, and twenty years have passed unknowingly. One day, he went out and passed by the woman's widowed door. He felt something strange in his heart, so he stopped and took a look. It doesn't matter, but the woman just happened to see it head-on."
After the reincarnation, the man's appearance and temperament had completely changed, but when the woman saw him, tears flowed down. She walked to the man and said, "You are here to look for me." Then she fainted on the ground.
When the man saw an old woman he had never known fell in front of him, he quickly fled from the place in fright.
Later, the woman was seriously ill and said something to the point before her death, but the voice was too small and no one had heard it clearly, so she didn't care. The woman finally dripped two lines of blood and tears and died.
Nomin shouted, "Ah? Why is the woman dead again? What is your old bastard telling?"
The old man was also helpless by her and said angrily: "I'll tell me, do you want to listen to the story?"
"You said that!"
When the woman came to the underworld, she saw Meng Po, and suddenly asked her very lightly: "Old lady, did a man tell you here before that he would not forget me and would definitely come back to find me?"
Meng Po nodded.
The woman felt very distressed and choked and said, "Why did he refuse to recognize me when he came back? Even if he said something to me, it would be better to come and see me before I died."
Meng Po patted her on the shoulder and said, "You are in love very much. I appreciate your courage. Let's do this. When the answer comes twenty years later, I promise you to see it. But you can't reincarnate before. You have to suffer here for twenty years. Are you willing?"
The woman said: "I am willing to not see that answer. I cannot let go of my love for him. Even if I reincarnate, I will feel heartbroken for a lifetime."
This woman was then arranged by Meng Po to weed the other side of the flower. In fact, there was no grass to hoe, but the woman's eyes were full of grass, and she grew again after hoeing, and she could never finish hoeing. It was just day after day, year after year.
Twenty years later, Meng Po took her to the door of reincarnation and said, "Stand here to watch, but don't talk. The person you have been waiting for for twenty years is coming."
The woman couldn't stand even excitedly. She finally calmed down and stood nervously waiting for the person she loved to appear.
Finally he came over. It turned out that he was sick and uncured. He was in his early forties and died again.
He walked up to her and Meng Po, and Meng Po handed him the water of Forgetful Love. He picked it up and wanted to drink it. The woman was anxious and said, "Did you forget what you said?"
The man glanced at her, drank the water from the bowl in his hand, and then walked into the door of reincarnation.
Meng Po looked at the despaired woman and said, "What is love? It's just a bowl of water, you can drink it too. Whether you can forget it is not your final decision. There is this life, no next life. Even if you remember, if he forgets, what is the difference between him and really forgetting?
As soon as he finished speaking, Nuomin cried out suddenly, pointed at the old man and scolded: "What kind of bullshit story do you think this is? It's not fun at all."
The old man did not say back, but was immersed in a distant feeling of sadness. For twenty years, he had been waiting for an answer to find a soul's liberation.
Liu Chen comforted Nuomin softly, and he was also thinking.
At this moment, the fish hook moved.
"Shh, stop crying, the fish are here."
Tears stopped halfway, and that expression was very fun.
It slowly lifted up.
Wow, a big white fish, my god, this is the first time Liu Chen has caught such a big fish.
Nomin hugged him directly and shouted, "What a big fish, let's grill it."
Her craftsmanship is very good, and she has all kinds of seasonings, and even garlic powder. After a while, a scent of fish came, making people's index fingers tremble.
Liu Chen looked at the old man who was still dazed and said, "Old man, let's try it together."
Nomin is fierce, "Hmph, although the story is not well told, I will give you the fish."
The old man was in a better mood, laughed softly, took one and chewed it in big mouth, and praised: "Well, it smells so good. The little girl has a fierce mouth and her skills are pretty good."
