Ghost Life

Standing in the shade of the tree, Shen Danmu looked at the mansion in front of him decorated with lights and colorful lights. This was the day when his younger sister married her childhood sweetheart as an adult a few years after his death.

It is said that because of the loving parents, one wife and no concubines, after his death, he was often gossiped behind his back, saying that the Shen family had no successors.After the younger sister became an adult, the son of the Rong family came to propose marriage, and made an oath in front of the gate that there would be only one person in her life, and she was willing to enter the Shen family and do her filial piety for the old man.The Rong family's parents were open-minded and agreed.

"Father, mother, little sister, you must be happy. Although this is an illusion, it is derived from reality. Since everything is on the right track, then I don't need to show up."

Shen Danmu left here, but didn't notice the gate. Among the people who came in and out, a beautiful woman ran out, leaning against the stone wall, watching his back with tears like rain.

"Mu'er, are you back? Mother is not afraid of you, why don't you come in?"

The man with a serious face followed behind and helped her back to the mansion.

"Madam, let's go back... Today is a happy day."

The two walked to the corner, the man looked back, his eyes were slightly red.

It was night, when Shen Danmu came to the bridge, there was a man on the bridge whose clothes and hair were out of tune with this era.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

The man turned his head and saw the person who came, with a handsome face and a gentle temperament, it was easy to make people feel good about him, so he pointed his finger in one direction: "Look over there."

Shen Danmu looked at the long river, weeping willows, woods, and the only house, a medical center opened at night.

"It's just a medical clinic."

"Don't you think it's weird? No one stays on the road at night here." The man asked in surprise.

The cold wind blew by, the man shivered, and a fluttering voice came from behind: "It's not weird, he's waiting for me..."

His back was stiff, and his hands touched his wrists, which were bare and bare.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Shen Danmu looked at him and asked helplessly.

"No, it's nothing. It's fine for this young master to call me Gong Ye." He paused and said: Maybe it's an illusion...

"Shen Danmu."

The two stood without talking, not embarrassed at all. After a long time, Gong Ye found a reason to leave. After a few steps, he disappeared on the bridge.

Gong Ye woke up in a cold sweat, and saw with his eyes that the bracelet on his wrist was well worn without any looseness.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it turned out...it was a dream.

Shen Danmu looked at the woman on the bridge, she had a pretty face, but her face was slightly pale and her figure was erratic.

This form has also been used by him for a thousand years, so it is not unfamiliar, but the current entity, it can be said that it has not been seen for a long time.

"Go back first, he is looking for you." Shen Danmu said.

"Yes……"

"Shiling, didn't you sleep well last night?" The old man asked looking at his dark circles.

Gong Ye nodded: "I had a dream."

The old man didn't ask again: It seems that he is indeed a trustworthy spirit.

night……

"Shen Danmu?"

Shen Danmu turned around when he heard it: "Are you here?"

Gong Ye looked at the people in front of him and was a little puzzled. This is... a continuous dream?

That medical center was still open at night. The medical center was a bit busy tonight, with people coming and going, and the weirdness that I saw yesterday was gone.

Late at night, people gradually left, and the lights in the medical hall went out. Gong Ye saw the doctor for the first time. He was too far away to see his face clearly, but he could see a young man. He lit the lantern at the door and sat there. At the door, looking at the river ahead.

"do you know……"

Gong Ye heard the people around him talking, and continued, "What?"

"The rumors about this place..."

"?"

"Yes, there was a loving couple. The husband was a scholar. He had an accident on the way to the exam and his wife drowned in the river. The husband was heartbroken and had no intention of taking the imperial examination. He even wanted to die in love. However, there were young and old in the family. The medical clinic was at the place where his wife passed away, just to save people." Shen Danmu said calmly, the expression on his gentle face remained unchanged, as if what he was telling was just a story.

"...here?"

Shen Danmu glanced at Gongye, and asked back: "What do you think?"

Gong Ye frowned slightly: "He stays where his wife died every day, what is he thinking in his heart?"

Shen Danmu said with a smile: "This... I'm going to ask him."

"Is there something wrong with you two?" The doctor felt someone approaching, got up and asked.

Gong Ye thought it was a dream, so he didn't beat around the bush, and asked the question directly. Although, even in reality, he still went straight to the point, but in reality, people with indifferent personality would not care about these things.

The doctor's face turned cold, and he was even on guard: "It has nothing to do with you."

Gongye turned his head to look at Shen Danmu, a little at a loss, Shen Danmu shook his head and said nothing, Gongye could only apologize repeatedly, this matter was indeed wrong.

The doctor turned and entered the room, and paused when closing the door, as if waiting for someone.

"Are the ancients so bad-tempered?" Gong Ye asked.

"No one will have a good temper if you ask this kind of thing directly." Shen Danmu smiled slightly.

"Isn't this a dream?" Gong Ye muttered in a low voice, a little confused, how could a dream... be so real.

Shen Danmu shook his head helplessly, pretending not to hear what he said, and said: "It's getting late, Gongye, aren't you going back?"

"No, don't you have to go home at night? I met you twice in a row?" Gong Ye looked at Shen Danmu and asked.

Shen Danmu said with a low smile: "Yes..."

The scene in front of Gongye's eyes changed, and Shen Danmu sat in front, smiling at him and saying, "Have a cup of tea."

"What's going on here?" Gong Ye asked defensively.

"Didn't you say that this is your dream? Then what doubts do you have?"

Gong Ye sat up abruptly, covered in cold sweat: "This...what the hell is going on..."

The furball slowly emerged and stayed on the side of the small table: "He... left again?"

Shen Danmu lowered his eyes and said: "His mental power is too strong, and the illusion...can't trap him for too long."

"It's only been two days, and there's still time." Mao Qiu rubbed his hand and said.

"Um……"

Gong Ye came to this place for the third time, the same bridge, that person, that face: "Who are you! How did you get in?"

"What do you think?" Shen Danmu asked back.He didn't dare to reveal his true identity, in case he was frightened, it would be a bad thing if he failed to fulfill what he promised.

Gong Ye thought of the few people he met two days ago, and was a little angry: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Danmu knew what he had misunderstood, so he simply kept silent, and Gong Ye took this as his acquiescence.

After staying for a while, Shen Danmu said, "I just want you to read a story."

Gong Ye passed away in doubt, and stood beside Shen Danmu, looking ahead.

The night this time was not calm, with heavy wind and rain, and the medical hall was even more weird. The lights in the house had been extinguished, only the lanterns were still placed under the eaves, and a child watched the lanterns and would not let them go out.

The doctor shouted something along the river, but Gongye couldn't hear him.

There was a cry from behind, Gong Ye turned his head, and the woman in white was sitting on the bridge, crying, her figure flickered, and the doctor ran straight away as if he didn't see the three "people" on the bridge However, the woman floated and followed.

Gongye felt that the rain that didn't fall on his body quickly wet his clothes, and when he turned his head to look, the people around him had disappeared.

"Shen Danmu!"

Shen Danmu stood aside and looked at the few "people" in the rain, he hid the smile on his face, his always warm face sank, and sighed softly.

Gong Ye felt chills all over his body, every pore on his body was filled with fear, and felt that everything was so weird, this place, this bridge, and that real spirit, even including Shen Danmu.

Shen Danmu couldn't bear it when he looked at him, the hairy ball figure emerged and stood on his shoulder: "This is necessary."

"I know, it's just..."

"Isn't it too cruel? Danmu, overcoming this fear is what he needs most now... I know, you feel that you owe the government because I consider you the master. In fact, there is no need to be so. My master will not, let alone have any People interfere. But since I promised him, I have to help him complete this matter."

"I understand." Shen Danmu replied.

"So, these are not cruel. Gong Ye's spirit is too strong. If he thinks everything is fake, then the illusion won't trap him for too long. But now, he thinks that you entered his dream, so he feels that he needs to guard against you. , would not think of leaving. What we have done is beneficial to him, not harmful to him." Maoqiu said.

"Xiaoqiu, you still don't understand human's thoughts. You just think that these are cruel to him." Shen Danmu touched its small head and said.

Looking at the big man shrunk aside, he couldn't see the cold and hard temperament before, it was a pitiful big doll.Shen Danmu wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the fur ball: "Wait..."

The doctor ran back, pulled Gong Ye's arm in embarrassment and asked, "Master, have you seen my lady?"

The doctor asked in front, and the woman in white was still crying behind him, Gong Ye said, "She is behind you."

The doctor turned his head, and he was close at hand, but he couldn't see anything. The woman reached out to touch his face, but she went straight through.

The doctor seemed to have remembered something, and left in a daze. Gong Ye didn't know what was wrong with him, so he followed them all the time.

Sitting on the bridge, the doctor noticed someone beside him, and said, "I forgot, today is her death day."

"People can't be resurrected after death. After so many years, can't they let go?" Gongye asked, not sure if it was the doctor or the woman.

"How could I forget? When she just left, I dreamed of her every day. She said a lot to me, but every time I woke up, I would forget what I said. At that time, I just thought, keep falling asleep. , at least, we can still be together in our dreams.”

"Later, I came here and opened a medical clinic. Gradually, I felt that she was here, because I felt at ease here... On the first Spring Festival here, I saw her, and she was still the same. , smiling softly." The rain-soaked face lined up with his smile, and he couldn't tell what his mood was.

"Are you... not afraid?"

"How can you be afraid, that's my lover! No matter what she is, as long as she is still by my side, as long as we can still be together."

Gong Ye was silent, love...is it really that powerful?

"Then why can't you see her now?"

"Today is the death day, tomorrow will be fine..." The doctor sat back, his body trembling slightly.

It was raining all the time, and at some point there was only one person and one spirit left on the bridge. The doctor murmured softly, "I'm just afraid...in case you really disappeared suddenly..."

The woman leaned against him vainly: Don't be afraid, tomorrow... I will show up again...

"They are very pitiful." Gong Ye said to Shen Danmu beside him.

"It's happiness to be able to stay together, do you want to hear the continuation of the story?" Shen Danmu asked.

Gong Ye nodded.

"The follow-up is that the wife doesn't want to leave here, and the obsession becomes a spirit. The husband misses his wife day and night, and it becomes an obsession. The relationship between people and ghosts is not over... It is also lucky to be able to stay together in another form."

"Yes, lucky." Gong Ye replied in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid of that woman?" Shen Danmu asked.

"Maybe I'm afraid...but now I just feel very pitiful." After finishing speaking, Gong Ye looked back at him, and asked after a moment of hesitation: "Shen Danmu, what are you?"

"Is it important?" Shen Danmu asked back.

Gong Ye looked at him for a while, not knowing what to say, yes...is it important?He doesn't know the answer, he can't figure out his emotions right now.

This is the first time Gongye saw Shen Danmu leave, his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared, only one sentence echoed: "Don't be afraid of me, I just promised your grandpa one thing."

Gong Ye looked at the empty space, inexplicably flustered, as if...it was very important.

Gong Ye opened his eyes, the sun shone in, it was very dazzling: Today...so long...

Shen Danmu returned to Mo Lingyu and asked Maoqiu a question.

"Little Ball, do you know what their ending is like in the reality that has happened?"

"Didn't you guess it? In this way, they lived their own life."

"That's good……"
