dark fairy tale

a copper plate.

...It's really not coins, it's really copper plates.

The outer circle and the inner square have four characters on the front that are made by Hades, and four characters on the back that are six reincarnations.

What are you... just kidding.

Su Yu stared at the bowl of meatballs like a ghost, the smell made her very hungry, but she didn't dare to touch it again, she even had a desire to vomit - just now the vendor gave her this... Planting money, it’s fine if it’s a joke, but if it’s true, then this bowl... what is it made of?

The copper coin in her hand was tightly squeezed by her, and she could even feel the cold sweat in her palm.

Cold and creamy.

Suddenly, Su Yu threw the five copper coins out, and the copper coins hit the ground with a crisp sound. She stared at the five copper coins rolling on the ground, her lips pressed tightly together.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the nearby grass.Su Yu turned his head to look, only to see an old woman in shabby clothes coming out dragging a sack made of plastic paper.

The old woman looked terrifying, her face was full of wrinkles, and she could barely see her facial features. She was shriveled and thin, as if she had crawled out of a coffin.

The old woman said in a very gloomy voice, "Girl, do you want these five copper coins?"

Su Yu nodded.

The old woman picked up the five copper coins with a speed that didn't suit her thin body, and stuffed them into her pocket.At last she sighed and said, "With your five copper coins, the old lady will be well off this week."

Su Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "Could it be that the incense in your house...?"

This kind of ghost mother-in-law who looks like a scavenger is generally either because the family's heirs are not filial, and before the festival is not burned, the ancestors are short of food and clothing, so they have to scavenge for a living, or they have no heirs in the first place.

The old lady's cloudy eyes seemed to see a lot of things through Su Yu, and she said in her old voice: "There is no such thing as a last generation... It's not that the young generation is unfilial, it's just that my family was poor when I died, so I was buried in a mass grave ...Later, the mass grave was...what is it called..." The old woman thought for a while, and seemed to not know what words to use to describe it, "It was turned into a school, and everyone who was with the old woman became lonely ghosts... Even the old woman herself can't find where the bones are, so how can she count on those young people?"

Su Yu nodded, then shook his head again. "Even if you draw a circle at the door of your house and burn some incense, it won't bring you to this point."

The old woman shook her head, as if she didn't intend to continue. "Girl, I think you are also from a good family, and your fate is not good. You have come here at a young age."

Su Yu was startled when he heard this, and said blankly, "Say it again, what's wrong with me?"

"It's dead...Girl, your soul is out of your body, how can you still not die?"

Su Yu thanked her, and murmured looking at her hand, it was no different from usual.

Looking up from a distance, it seems that the pedestrians on the road have become thinner in an instant, and there is an indescribable silence.There are coquettish women in ancient red clothes standing against the wall, weird people with their faces covered in messy booths, and some grotesque creatures that are not even humanoid walking swaggeringly on the street, the sunlight looks so thin under all these So fragile, such a grotesque world-is it the world after death?

42No.40 One Night One Land ([-])

Soon night fell, Su Yu looked around blankly, not knowing where to go.

She tried to go home, but she couldn't get in at the door of the house, and was blocked out by a transparent wall—someone told her that every door is guarded by door gods, and there is a kind of Taoist ability. Keep it secret from the past, but someone like Su Yu who just died... is not allowed to enter.

Su Yu felt a little cold.

It's so strange, why do you still feel cold when you're all dead?

It's so strange, she was still alive, why did she suddenly die?

Su Yu squatted in front of the house, almost crying out of grievance.

She also tried to go to Xiao Yan's place, but she didn't notice it when she came out. When she looked in from the outside, she found that Xiao Yan's place was surrounded by a circle of clearly visible golden light. As soon as she got close, she felt severe pain all over her body, and she couldn't get in at all.

She knew that waiting for Xiao Yan to discover her was the best way at Xiao Yan's place, but she wanted to go home, she wanted to go home... even if there was nothing at home, no one was waiting for her, she wanted to go home too!

As the night deepened, more and more 'people' came and went around, and no one would pay attention to a pitiful new 'person' huddled against the wall.

The old lady Liu at the corner leaned on a cane and smiled miserably at Su Yu.

The night became more and more bustling. A charming woman with her shoulders bare, holding a green will-o'-the-wisp, walked gracefully in front of Su Yu.Suddenly she stopped, leaned down and smiled at Su Yu, and said flatteringly: "Heh... Isn't this the little girl from Boss Xiao's house... Why are you squatting here? A good girl should go home at night... Squatting here is not afraid of anyone eating your delicate skin and tender flesh..."

After saying this sentence, she narrowed her eyes, and her face showed three points of astonishment: "Eh... I read that right, you are actually dead."

Su Yu raised her head, this woman was the female ghost who said she was going to eat her when she strayed into the ghost realm.Su Yu's eyes were a little red, and he said softly, "When you die, you die. Why are there so many..."

"Boss Xiao hurts you like a jewel... Tsk tsk, I still can't resist the reincarnation of heaven, little girl, tell me how you died?"

"Who has such a great ability to snatch people from Boss Xiao?"

The alluring and charming woman raised Su Yu's chin with her hand, and carefully sized her face.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. If I knew, I would still be here..." After finishing speaking, Su Yu snapped off the woman's fingers pinching her chin. "You're too yin, I'm afraid of getting sick if you touch me for too long."

The woman covered her mouth and giggled. "Silly girl, the more I touch you, the better your health will be. You're going to die, why are you afraid of evil spirits!"

Su Yu suddenly raised his head and reprimanded: "Shut up!"

"Damn girl who doesn't know what to do!" The woman's expression suddenly turned cold, and when she was about to get angry after being drunk by Su Yu, her shoulder was held down by a long and thin hand.

It was a man, a very beautiful and graceful man, with layer upon layer of loose coats embroidered with peonies and large sleeves, reflecting that almost snow-white hand, only one word could come to mind - icy muscles and jade bones.

"Yan Niang, you can't hit her." He smiled slightly, then with a movement of his long sleeves, he brushed the beautiful and charming female ghost three feet away. Rong Jun took Su Yu into his arms, and he said with a slight smile: "Why does something happen to you every time I see you, eh? Boss Xiao's little girl..."

Su Yu stared at him blankly, then threw herself into his arms with a wow and cried. "I...I...They all said I was dead...Dead! I can't even go home...I can't go back to Xiao Yan's place either! I...How could I die!"

Su Yu's emotions exploded all of a sudden.

"I also ate meatballs made of something, I don't want to eat human flesh..."

Su Yu cried hoarsely.

Rong Jun was not annoyed that her tears and snot were all over him, but instead patted her on the back to coax her.

About 5 minutes later, Su Yu sobbed and pushed Rong Jun away, lowered his head to wipe away his tears and snot, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Rong Jun."

Rong Jun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to poke Su Yu's forehead and said, "Fortunately, he is smart enough to believe anything no one else says... You can find out if you are dead or not."

"Miss Su, you go back with me first to see what's going on with you." Rong Jun looked at her, and then said: "You are still angry, it's hard to say whether you are dead or not."

"Okay." Su Yu raised his head, his face was cold, except for the bloodshot eyes, there was no trace of her crying at all.

"Hehe..." Rong Jun smiled, stretched out his hand to press her into his arms again, put one arm around her waist, and his sleeves fluttered to cover Su Yu tightly. "I want to keep the yang energy in your body, it's really offending you."

"It's okay."

"It doesn't matter, I told Boss Xiao that I want to marry you as my concubine." Rong Jun replied.

Su Yu thought about it very seriously, and then said: "Rong Junrong has a special look, and he has a graceful bearing, and he has the word 'Jun'. I will marry you as a concubine. It's not a loss..." After finishing this sentence , Su Yu suddenly smiled, and that kind of understatement suddenly appeared. "It's just that if you have a wife, I'll kill one of them. If you take another concubine, I'll kill the other."

This made Rong Jun stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, his sleeves fluttered, and he swung his arms around Su Yu about ten feet away from the original place. The almost floating movement made Su Yu unconsciously hugged Su Yu's waist tightly.

The scenery on both sides passed by quickly, the group of demons danced wildly, and the afterimage of the neon lights was stretched into a long strip, mixed with Rong Jun's scent of flowers and sandalwood, forming a strange and amazing feeling.

I don't know how long it took, probably a short period of time, they stopped at the gate of a temple.Rong Jun let go of Su Yu, and Su Yu glanced at the plaque suspiciously. "Earth Temple?"

Rong Jun nodded with a smile, and walked ahead to lead the way. "Come here and you can easily find out whether you are dead or not."

Su Yu asked in a low voice: "It doesn't seem good to disturb the land father because of such a little thing like me?" Su Yu almost immediately thought of the image of the land father in Journey to the West who was short and fat with long eyebrows and beard. .

Rong Jun's footsteps paused, and he turned back.
