How about a bowl of Mengpo soup

"Hey, the girl has such a beautiful smile!" A sudden yell interrupted the woman in white.

Meng Wanyan was slightly taken aback. Just now...was she smiling?Then look at the tall man standing in front of him at this time, with beards, drunken eyes, but his face is blue and black, and his lips are white.

Smelling the turbid smell of alcohol, Meng Wanyan took a step back and frowned slightly.The man was a little delirious after he was drunk, so he couldn't hold on and showed a terrifying appearance, but he didn't realize that he was full of ugliness at the moment, so he took another step closer while hiccupping and said with a smile: " Hehe, aunt, the girl is really like a fairy, since it is so predestined, how about going to have a drink or two with me?"

Was this man a rogue bully?Meng Wanyan's expression turned cold, and she held her hands in her sleeves to make a decisive move, but a loud roar suddenly sounded from behind: "Wang Lao Wu, you are blind! You want to go to the border to do coolies, don't you?!" With this roar, a man in black armor rushed over from the crowd and slapped the drunk man on the forehead.After the filming was over, he quickly turned around and bowed to Meng Wanyan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, he didn't mean any harm, but he got dirty after drinking and offended you."

Meng Wanyan recognized the man in black armor. He was Zhao Ming, the night watchman in front of Hades Palace.She still had some impressions of Zhao Ming, knowing that this man was upright and honest, and would not make friends with those rascals, so she calmed down a bit, quietly withdrew her gestures, and said lightly, "It's better not to get so drunk in the future."

"Yes, yes, I will be optimistic about him in the future." Zhao Ming replied repeatedly.Although the woman who is as beautiful as a fairy in front of me is gentle, kind, dignified and friendly, but she is the last person in this underworld who cannot be offended.A while ago, His Royal Highness Pluto sent [-] underworld soldiers to Nayin Mountain in a mighty manner, and wiped out all the ghosts and ghosts in the mountain and outside the mountain overnight. Charm hurt the Lord in front of me!

The man on the side was slapped, and now he is a little sober. He looked at Zhao Ming, then at the woman in white, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Meng, Mr. Meng?" Thinking about his actions just now, he slapped I felt extremely annoyed on my forehead: "It's over, the king insists on taking my skin off!"

"Change back when you wake up, look at your ghostly look!" Zhao Ming's face was full of hatred, and he stretched out his hand to push his shoulder: "Hurry up and apologize to your lord!"

"Master Meng, yes, I'm sorry." Wang Laowu changed back to a normal person, scratching his head, his face was burning red.Xu Shi, who has always been a thick-skinned old man, feels embarrassed now.

Meng Wanyan was amused by his appearance. "Forget it, I didn't mean to blame you." She shook her head lightly, flicked her sleeves, and walked slowly towards the other end of the long street.Zhao Ming and the others stood in place and looked at the slim figure in fluttering white clothes, and then looked at each other, blinking.

"Actually, Mr. Meng is very gentle, right?"

"Eh...um."

"But it's really cold."

"Ok!"

"It's cold and gentle, it's the only way to keep our king down..."

……

The white clothes in the distance gradually disappeared at the corner, covered and submerged by the colorful hustle and bustle on the left and right.

Meng Wanyan walked slowly, and soon came to the East Street.

East Street is the place where restaurants and teahouses gather most in Mingcheng. The small stalls along the street are also full of novelty snacks, and there is a smell of food everywhere. People walking on the street are usually in groups of twos and threes. Going to which store to eat and drink vigorously, or taking a leisurely walk after eating, drinking and eating there, or wandering leisurely on the street, tasting the red, yellow and yellow lights one by one along the road. snacks.

No matter what form they are in, they always have satisfied smiles on their faces.But at this moment, Meng Wanyan's cold and plain white seemed a bit out of place with the surroundings.

Walk to the bottom of the ancient locust tree, and then turn into the alley on the right.

On both sides of the alley are ordinary residential courtyards, with blue bricks and black tiles, simple and elegant.The old courtyard walls are covered with blue-gray moss, and some courtyard walls are covered with dense green vines.While walking, Meng Wanyan's mood also became peaceful and peaceful, as if time went back in time, and she was walking in the alley opposite Liu's house in the capital of Shangqi that year.

However, after leaving this six-foot alley, what you see when you look up is no longer the red lacquered gate with a plaque with the words "Liu's House" hanging on it.Taige buildings stretch into the distance, and people come and go.The colorful floating lights in mid-air were brilliant, but at this moment Meng Wanyan saw them as dazzling, making her eyes sore, and even the tip of her tongue tasted a bit bitter.

Suddenly, a tall black shadow flashed in front of him, blocking the light.

"Sister Meng!" Soi Ying shouted excitedly.The voice of a mature man has an immature tone.Meng Wanyan could tell who he was even though he couldn't see his face clearly from the backlight.

"Ashi." Meng Wanyan put away the sudden surge of sentimentality just now, and slightly curved the corners of her mouth.The man in front of him is Ah Shi, who was taken in by Xinxue. Although he looks scary and has a low mind, he is straightforward and kind, like a well-behaved younger brother.

It seems... the "people" living here are all so simple and kind...Meng Wanyan suddenly lost his mind.

When she was a mortal, she often heard the nanny talk about ghosts and ghosts. Most of those ghosts were ferocious and evil, which made people frightened.But now she felt that these people in the underworld were not as they were in the legends, on the contrary, they were more humane than those scheming villains in the mortal world.

However, this seems to be common sense.Both humans and ghosts are divided into good and evil.They may have been kind-hearted human beings, with emotions and beliefs no different from ordinary people, who could cry and laugh, cherish and be moved, and would do their best to love the people they cared about.And these were preserved by them and brought to the underworld, making this originally dark underworld unexpectedly similar to the underworld.

So gradually, it seems that this place is not so boring...

"Sister Meng, are you here to find Sister Xue'er?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Ah Shi cautiously reached out and tugged at the snow-white sleeve.Meng Wanyan came back to her senses and smiled unnaturally: "Well, it's..." Before she finished speaking, the person in front of her cheerfully pulled up her sleeves and took her to the very elegant teahouse not far away up.

"Sister Xueer, Sister Meng is here." As soon as he entered the door, Ah Shi yelled at the counter.The green-clothed woman, who was looking down at her abacus, heard the words and looked over, with a smile on her elegant and beautiful face.Then he put down his abacus, walked over with a smile, and took Meng Wanyan's hand affectionately, "Wanyan, you came just in time. I made some new-style pastries, and you can try them for me later to see if they are delicious." As he said that, he took her upstairs, and before leaving, he still didn't forget to turn his head to the other tall woman who was serving tea and softly ordered: "Anu, get the inventory in my room later. Come on."

"Hey, I got it." Anu just served a pot of fresh Maojian to the guest, then turned around and raised a big smile at the two beauties on the stairs.Xinxue smiled and glanced at her, then continued to drag her upstairs.

In the private room upstairs, Xinxue has been reserved for Meng Wanyan.Because this room is the cleanest, the place is small but simple and bright, the window is not facing the street, but the backyard of the house, where the bamboo bushes are dense and swaying.Meng Wanyan came here when she was free, so she accompanied them to sit here, drink tea and chat.I don't know when the two of them became such close and intimate girlfriends.

But today, Xinxue could tell that the other party obviously had something on his mind.

"Wanyan?" When she went to fetch a pot of tea and brought it up, and pushed open the door, she happened to see Meng Wanyan staring out the window in a daze.He walked over to put the teapot away, patted the person who was still in a daze, and asked softly: "What's the matter, you look listless."

"Huh? Hmm...Maybe he just recovered from his illness and hasn't fully recovered, so he's a little dazed." Meng Wanyan shook her head and smiled, secretly blaming herself for being so distracted today.Xinxue sat down at the table and poured her a bowl of tea, and gave her a meaningful look, "It's not good, it's a heart disease. Wan Yan, you... are you having trouble with the king?"

Meng Wanyan was taken aback, and turned her gaze away unnaturally: "Why do you say that, my business has nothing to do with her."

"Every time you quarrel, you will always look like this, so you probably don't notice it. In fact, it may not make you feel good to anger the king, so why bother?" The watery eyes seem to be able to see through people.Meng Wanyan bit her lip and simply lowered her head to serve her tea.

"I won't because of her..."

"You, just be stubborn."

"You!" Meng Wanyan was a little annoyed now, she frowned, and her tone became much tougher: "She separated me from the person I love so that I can't be reincarnated again, she is so overbearing, completely ignore I hate her so much for other people's feelings!"

I have never seen Meng Wanyan so excited and resentful, Xinxue was a little surprised, playing with the half-full teacup in his hand, and after a long time, he said softly: "Although you are not very clear about the festival between you, but the king, she Not a villain."

"She is a ruthless person who treats human life like nothing!"

"She saved me."

"What?" Meng Wanyan paused and opened her eyes wide.

The beauty in emerald clothes sitting at the other end looked calm, "When I was alive, the king saved me once, and when we met again later, I followed her to the underworld." She looked at the person beside her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was also The cloud is light and the wind is light: "Didn't I tell you, I was a prostitute when I was alive."

Meng Wanyan's heart trembled in vain.

Xinxue didn't look at her anymore, but instead looked at the swaying bamboo shadow outside the window, picked up the warm teacup, held it with both hands, and put it on her lap. "In my previous life, I was sold to the land of fireworks when I was ten years old. I practiced my piano skills desperately. It was also in order to increase my status and be a performer without selling myself, so as not to be polluted by those dirty men. But some things can't be avoided after all. , when I grow up, the old bustard can't wait to recruit a guest for me."

"So I entrusted myself to a scholar before that, and he promised me that he would take me away. However, on the agreed night, I didn't wait for him, but the old bustard and the nursing homes in the building. You know, Running away is absolutely not allowed in that kind of place, not to mention that I am no longer a virgin, let alone worthless, and it is not too much to beat to death."

With a gentle and gentle tone, the words spoken were like stones hitting the heart heavily.Yi Ren said it as if it was easy, but who knew her torment.Meng Wanyan's eyes turned hot, she regretted letting Xinxue say this, she never imagined that the other party had suffered so much.

On the contrary, Xinxue reached out her hand across the table, patted the back of her hand on the table to comfort her: "Fool, it's all happened in the past." Then, she went on to say: "At that time, the king appeared, and rescued her." Me, take me to a safe place, and give me a sum of silver enough to live on. But I have nothing to worry about in this world, so I begged her to take me away. She ignored me at the time and disappeared alone. I have been Waiting there, without eating or drinking, after many days, she still showed up."

"The king is not cruel and heartless. On the contrary, she is very soft-hearted, so soft that she is contrary to the identity of the king of the underworld. She bears the fate of too many people, and our fate is not entirely determined by her. "

"Xinxue..." Meng Wanyan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Xinxue slowly sipped her tea, and when she looked at Meng Wanyan again, her expression became extremely serious, her eyes were deep, and she seemed to be hiding some kind of deep emotion: "Do you know that before you came here, she For the sake of Shangqi, I knelt for ten days and ten nights in front of the gate of the Ten Temple Ancestral Temple, only then did the Pluto Patriarch take back his life and avoid a catastrophe in the world."

"There is such a thing..." Meng Wanyan murmured, her heart suddenly became tense, and she felt swollen and uncomfortable.So that cold, domineering and arrogant person would kneel down for mortals...

"She values ​​human life more than anyone else." Xinxue relaxed her body, leaned back on the chair, and sighed in a low voice. The tone of her voice seemed to be very light, yet so heavy, and the things contained in it were elusive After a while, she said again: "Forcibly bringing you here may be the most exceptional thing the king has ever done. But it cannot be denied that she... treats you very well."

"It's impossible for me, her and me!!" Meng Wanyan heard the meaning in her words, and instinctively retorted, but she was surprised that there was no confidence in her words.Xinxue suddenly shook her head and smiled.At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a woman's brisk and abrupt voice came: "Miss Boss, I'll bring you the pastries you asked for."

"Here we come." Xinxue replied, put down the cup in her hand and stood up, walked a few steps but paused, turning her head slightly.

"Wan Yan, don't be trapped by yourself."
