Chapter 13: An old immortal (thank you for being the leader of Mr. Dou
As soon as I got home from school in the afternoon, Gu Cheng heard the chaos in the next yard.
Xia Xiaoman stood on the wall watching the fun. Chen Hua, who had just gotten off work, met Zhao Hong who was waiting at home, and was taught a lesson. Zhao Hongdada went out to work in her white shoes.
Gu Cheng also stood on the steps and looked through the wall.
"What do monsters usually do?" Xia Xiaoman wanted to laugh.
"What about that?"
"It's almost the same as a human."
"Old Gu, who are you talking to?" Chen Hua was tidying up his clothes in a terrible way, and heard Gu Cheng's voice next door.
"A ghost, introduce it to you."
Gu Cheng honestly introduced to the air: "This is Xia Xiaoman."
"Don't mess with this!" Chen Hua took a step back with a very wonderful expression.
"This is Uncle Chen." Gu Cheng pointed at Chen Hua again.
"You are bored." Xia Xiaoman rolled his eyes and jumped down from the wall and floated into the room.
Chen Hua also got back to the house. He originally planned to set up a small hot pot in the yard, but Gu Cheng was not in personnel affairs, so he scared him.
He doubted whether he had been eating a lot a few days ago, so Gu Cheng deliberately made up an invisible person to scare him... After thinking about this, Old Gu was really stingy.
Loss again.
Chen Hua is a little anxious. The neighbor next door likes to play with ghosts recently, and is talking nonsense. What should I do? Online.
The next day Friday.
Gu Cheng went out to buy a large handful of incense and candles, and some messy things for sacrifices. Xia Xiaoman was surprised and thought he bought it for himself. So much shows that Gu Cheng is ready to get along for a long time.
As a result, early on Saturday morning, Gu Cheng walked out with those things on his back. He packed two ducks on the street, then went to the Laolujia Meat Restaurant to buy a bag of donkey meat firewood, and then transferred to the fruit store...
Finally, he carried a bunch of things in his hands and headed towards Xishan Cemetery.
"Speaking of this, where is your grave?"
Gu Cheng asked Xia Xiaoman, who was curiously following him, "Is there any? Or was he just thrown into the wild and taken away by the wild dog?"
"Someone praised you for your ability to chat?" Xia Xiaoman's chest was very stuffy.
Gu Cheng just glanced at her.
"All the ashes were raised," said Xia Xiaoman.
“It’s not bad.”
“…”
"Who Yang? Don't you remember how he died?"
"I remember being raised."
"oh."
The surroundings are gradually becoming less crowded, with lush grass and trees, and the roads are becoming narrower and narrower.
Because it is not the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, it is not a special day, so I feel a little lonely when I walk on the road.
After climbing a hillside with a shade, a tomb appeared in front of me.
Xia Xiaoman looked around and said that Gu Cheng should have no relatives... He is an immortal old monster, do he have his parents who have been even longer?
"There are two...that are friends here." Gu Cheng said.
"monster?"
"ghost."
Gu Cheng's answer disappointed Xia Xiaoman a little, "They will go out for a walk when they are bored. When they meet the lost lonely soul, they will also ask me for help. I have known each other for a long time."
“Aren’t they reincarnated?”
"yes."
Gu Cheng went to the cemetery and took off his backpack, took out the incense candle and inserted a stick of incense stick on the nearby grave, and put a few more fruits on it.
Two wandering souls floated out of the cemetery.
"Brother Gu, are you here?"
"Well, when I think about it, Xiaolu seems to be leaving, so I will see you by the way." Gu Cheng said.
"Thank you Brother Gu!"
One of these two ghosts is a young man and the other is a woman in her thirties. She looks no different from ordinary people. Gu Cheng sat on the ground and raised his head at the young man, "Yang Rui, aren't you reincarnated yet?"
"Brother Gu, tell Sister Lu, I'm just like that." The young man smiled and hid aside.
Gu Cheng poked and looked around Xia Xiaoman and said, "Look, they are all like you, staying in this world without leaving."
The woman he called Xiaolu turned her eyes to Xia Xiaoman: "Is she new?"
"It's different from you, she has a home." Gu Cheng waved his hand.
"That's fine."
In the quiet cemetery, Gu Cheng seemed to be talking to the tombstone.
Xia Xiaoman saw their familiar appearance and stayed beside Gu Cheng without saying a word.
"How long will you have?" Gu Cheng asked the woman, her name was Zhang Lulu.
"There is still one month left, I don't know if I can last for a month." Zhang Lulu smiled slightly, very gentle.
"There is not much time left for you to regret it." Gu Cheng said.
"It's been through that long time."
"It's really gone."
"Relaxed." Zhang Lulu still smiled. Yang Rui opened his mouth and wanted to help persuade him, but gave up.
It will disappear completely in one month and there will be no chance of reincarnation.
"Why do you have to?" Gu Cheng said.
Zhang Lulu just smiled.
Xia Xiaoman gradually understood that these two wandering souls were unwilling to leave or reincarnate, just like an old man staying in a broken street and an old alley, quietly waiting for the day when he completely dissipated.
"If you regret it, remember to tell me, you know where I live."
Gu Cheng looked around and stood in the cemetery with a bunch of tombstones. Only these two lonely souls stayed in the huge cemetery.
Yang Rui was brought here by him at the beginning. This young man died in a rental house. He pointed out the way when he was in a daze, but he was reluctant to reincarnate.
"Actually, I'm still a little nostalgic about this world, but I don't want to live again. I'm annoyed to think about it, so let's just do it."
That's it.
Yang Rui has always been like this.
The body is just a pile of bones and flesh, and the only one is the soul.
And when the soul dissipates, it means that nothing is gone.
"You... wait until she leaves, stay here alone." Gu Cheng pointed Yang Rui with his hand.
"It's pretty good." Yang Rui smiled.
Xia Xiaoman looked at Yang Rui and Zhang Lulu in front of him in a daze. They were not even willing to be reborn. When talking about the scattered soul, they were even more relieved.
Perhaps because Zhang Lulu was about to leave completely, Gu Cheng sat here for a long time, blew the gentle wind in the empty wilderness until the sun moved westward, then patted his butt and stood up, and took a last look at Zhang Lulu.
"Another acquaintance is leaving." Gu Cheng sighed. He could see that Zhang Lulu's body was already very light.
"Maybe I'll be ready on the last day."
It was already summer, but it was like winter for Zhang Lulu. She shrank next to the newly lit incense candle, which would make her feel a little warm in the cold.
"Then reincarnate a fool."
Gu Cheng said something and turned back.
"Why don't they want to be reincarnated?" Xia Xiaoman asked on the way back.
"Is there a possibility that the beauty of life does not belong to everyone, and the nostalgia for the world is the same."
"Then why don't you care about them? You have to save me."
"You are different from them. They don't want to have a next life at all. You are not reincarnated because of your attachment to me and your temporary ties."
"Stop talking nonsense! Who is missing you?" Xia Xiaoman felt that this person is really narcissistic.
She looked back at the direction of the cemetery and once again had questions about Gu Cheng's identity.
"Who are you?"
