Male Meng Po

There has been a lot of rain recently, and the hemp ropes tied to the stakes in the house are rotten. When Xi came back, Wei Shishi was preparing to rub new hemp ropes to replace the ropes on the stakes.

Xi reached out to take the rope from the boy's hand: "No need to prepare."

Wei Shishi raised his head in doubt: "Why? Let the rope rot, and the wooden house will collapse."

Xi: "Because we won't live here anymore."

"Do you want to move?" Wei Shishi asked in surprise, "Where are you going? I'll go and pack up."

"It's enough to pack your usual things," Xi said.

Wei Shixi paused.He slowly turned his head and looked at Xi, looking into Xi's eyes, Wei Shiyi felt as if he understood.

"Where are you going?" Wei Shixi asked.

Xi: "Hell."

Wei Shishi: "Didn't you say, wait until I grow up?"

Xi: "You are already 12 years old."

Wei Shishi lowered his eyes, he is 12 years old.

The 12-year-old boy is already considered a young eagle, and can work hard to live independently. The children in the village start to do heavy work at the age of 12, and gradually support the burden of the family. After two or three years, they will find a good girl to start a family.

This is the way of life of ordinary men in the village.

But he doesn't want that.

Wei Shishi's plan for his life trajectory is very simple, he wants to live with Xi, and stay together for a long time.Even if his life span is no more than a hundred years, even if he becomes mature in ten years, starts to age in 20 years, loses teeth in 50 years, and waits to embrace death in 70 years.Even if his hair is gray, his teeth are missing, he can't see or hear clearly, but as long as he can move and speak, he hopes to hold Xi's hand and spend a short life.

At first, he just hoped to live with Xi, but as time passed, his relationship with Xi became closer and closer. After a long period of loneliness, he finally felt the warmth of being with others, and his thoughts gradually became like The prairie fire spread wildly like a prairie fire, filling the entire atrium.

How good it would be if there were only the two of them in this world.

As long as the two of them depend on each other.

When death takes him away a hundred years later, he can still meet Xi when he goes to the underworld.If possible, he hopes to have the extravagant possibility of staying together in the next life.

The reality is the cruelest, gods will not guard a mortal forever, even if his short life is only a short moment in the eyes of the gods, Xi is still unwilling to stay for that short moment.

"I see." Wei Shiyi lowered his head, but did not say anything to persuade him to stay.

If only he wasn't an incompetent mortal, Wei Shixi thought to himself.

"Then pack your things." Xi didn't notice Wei Shishi's mood change, and said happily, "I just left the mountain and went to the village to take a look. The drought has passed, and the village has come back to life. , there are a lot of people, and the fields are being reclaimed. Many people are going to settle in that village, and you can go there too."

that village?There was a glimmer of light in Wei Shishi's eyes.

"You told me that you escaped from that village." Xi continued, "Most people in the village are from other places, but there seem to be some residents from the past village. Maybe you can meet a few people you know."

Wei Shishi secretly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly.

know?

Will they still know themselves?

Probably not, he's become too much.

But there are some things that will never be forgotten because of his current changes.

Wei Shishi: "You're going to throw me away."

Xi and Wei Shishi were walking down the mountain, when he heard Wei Shishi's words, Xi still didn't care, he just pretended that the boy was losing his temper, and said, "Xuanji, I can't stay with you all the time."

Wei Shishi: "Why? Because I will die soon?"

"It's unlucky to have this word on your lips all the time." Xi said, "Don't you know that some words will become true if you say them too many times?"

Wei Shishi didn't say a word, he didn't believe it at all.Every day, he was looking forward to being with Xi forever, but in fact, these did not come true.

"It's not a problem for me to stay with you until the day you die of old age. But during this period, will you feel happy?" Xi seems to be talking to himself, "You will only feel very lonely. The time between us is different, After 20 years, you start to age a little bit, but I will not change in any way. After watching for a long time, you will feel very sad. You will find that I am not the same as you at all, and then you will feel very lonely. Because You are the only one who is aging, and the only one who is approaching death is you, I have no choice but to accompany you in everything."

"No, I think this is very good." Wei Shishi said.

Xi: "When that happens, you won't say that anymore."

After Nuwa and Fuxi created the human race, they lived in the deep mountains of Lishan, far away from the human race, because of such considerations.

Races with a large time gap cannot live together in harmony for a long time.Even if you get along, you need to keep your distance.a long enough distance.

"This is the happiness of ordinary people." Xi said firmly.

Wei Shiyi lowered his head: "Will you come to see me?"

Xi: "Yes, I will visit you every once in a while."

Wei Shixi smiled: "It's settled."

Xi: "En."

Xi pretended to be a fugitive who thought he had negotiated with Wei Shishi, and brought Wei Shishi to the village, looking for Lizheng of the village.Li Zheng's power is equivalent to that of the village head. Xi originally planned to introduce himself as a refugee, but Wei Shiyi was picked up by him as a boy who left here.As a result, before he could speak, Wei Shishi declared his name first, Wei Xuanji's name.

There are too many people like them who fled to other villages and took root. It happened that there were not many households in the village and they were expanding outwards, so Lizheng was settled directly.Settling in at this time is very simple, just register casually, and it is enough to know that there is this person living here.

Li was planning to settle down with Xi Ye, but Xi refused on the pretext that he wanted to go back to his hometown, claiming that he was just bringing the boy with him.

Li Li in the village was just a very old middle-aged man. Hearing this, he just looked at Wei Shishi. Seeing that the young man was silent, he didn't say much. A 12-year-old boy has reached the minimum standard for self-reliance.

In this way, Xi was assigned the house on the far side of the village.The house is located on the west side of the village, and it is dilapidated.According to Lizheng, the owner of this house died cleanly during the famine years a few years ago, so no one lives there.Now it is simply given to Wei Shishi, and the land near the house that belonged to the original owner of the house has also been allocated.

It looked pretty good, but Wei Shiyi only sneered in his heart.

The owner of this house happened to be the residence of the woman who was blasted to the mountains with him.It was also his former residence.

There used to be two ominous people here, and the house is naturally ominous. Those who come here can know this by simply inquiring with the original residents of the village left behind.If Xi told Lizheng that he would stay and live there, the house allocated to the two of them would definitely not be this one.

This is bullying him a teenager with no one to rely on.

Xi looked around the village, and at the dilapidated house in front of him, "Do you want to change it?"

"No, this is pretty good." Wei Shishi walked in with a smile.

What a familiar environment, especially in the main courtyard, the big black puddle on the ground is the black dog blood that was splashed back then.

If he hadn't cleverly hid behind, he would have been drenched like a woman.

People here don't kill people with their own hands, but what they do is not very kind.

"Are you leaving?" Wei Shixi asked.

Xi: "Yes. Let's go to the underworld first."

Wei Shishi: "If, if you didn't stay in the underworld, where would you go?"

Xi raised his head and thought for a while: "Let's go to Yaochi. Help her take care of the peach trees. Or go to the seaside. A green dragon has come to settle in the East China Sea. It seems that he is going to be promoted to the god of the sea. I'll go and have a look."

"Yaochi? Where do you live?"

"In Kunlun Mountain."

Wei Shishi silently turned these names over in his mind. Kunlun Mountain and the seaside are places that he has never heard of, so they must be very far away.

"How do you go to the underworld?" Wei Shishi asked.

Xi: "The gates of hell are currently set near here, and I will pass there."

Wei Shien let out a sigh, stretched out his hand to hold Xi's arm, and said hesitantly, "I think you may be qualified for the job of a ferryman."

Xi: "En?"

Wei Shishi: "Every time I drink the soup you cook, I can't remember. You can try to cook soup for ghosts to drink. Use a little special water or something."

special water?Do you forget the river water?

Xi recalled that Emperor Fengdu had mentioned that to let ghosts go to reincarnation, they have to go to the Wangchuan River first, and let the river wash away the souls. Of course, this kind of force is not enough, so some little ghosts will use the water of Wangchuan River from the inside to the outside. Rinse aside.

The process was painful, and the results were unsatisfactory.

It's worth trying.

Facts and results proved that the method proposed by Wei Shishi was really effective, Xitian was born to be a ferryman by the river of Wangchuan.After drinking a bowl of soup made from the water of the Wangchuan River, all the love, hatred, and hatred melted into the Wangchuan River along with the memories.Emperor Fengdu was very satisfied. In order to show respect for Xi, the identity of the ferryman was not directly appointed by Emperor Fengdu, but changed to Emperor Qingxu, a local official.In charge of reincarnation, and has partial pardon power, the status and Fengdu Great Emperor do not belong to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but to assist.

Yin souls no longer need to wade across the river, avoiding the pain of the Wangchuan River scouring the soul, so Xi simply built a bridge on the Wangchuan River, engraved with the name Naihe, and built a small bridge beside the Naihe Bridge for the convenience of working and living. Zhuangzi.The Wangxiang Terrace by the Naihe Bridge in later generations has been initially completed.It's just that Wangxiangtai at this time is only Xi's personal residence.

On the other hand, Wei Shishi, who had settled down hastily in the village, was not in a hurry to clean up the dilapidated house that had been left unoccupied for more than five years, but went out for a walk in the village.He purposefully went around to the east of the village, wandered around the door of a family, and finally waited for the family to go out.

A woman with a bun came out.Women are in their 30s and are no longer young.The hard work in life caused wrinkles on her face early on, and thick calluses on her hands.The woman was holding a rice bowl with some bread in it, and she was about to go out to deliver food to the men in the field.

And behind the woman, followed by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Wei Shishi looked slightly cold, turned and left.

It seemed that the two people who had just left had nothing to do with him.
