I really don't want to be a teacher

That person saved me, but I failed her expectations of me, and I couldn't see the promised person again. "

Pausing for a while, the old man looked at the nearby street again,

"...I was injured that time, and I stayed in the hospital until after the war. Because the injury was too serious, I was placed in Silla to recuperate.

It has been several months since he recovered.During this period, many troops have withdrawn to the country, including the one I was in.

When I was in the hospital, I kept inquiring about the situation of her unit, but the news I got was that her unit was severely damaged, and even the field hospital was severely damaged in an air strike... and the remaining troops have returned to the country .

After recovering, I returned to the country together with the other wounded, returned here, and returned to this agreed place. I waited here all day, from morning to night and from night to day... I believe that if she After returning to the country, I would come here at least every day to have a look... But I didn't wait for her... I went to her house according to her address, but it was already empty, not only she was not there, but also her parents , I don't even know where I'm going... I completely lost contact with her. "

Listening to the old man's narration, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man and the bloodstains on his hand,

"So you don't know, old man, is that person you've been waiting for alive or not?" Looking away, Lian Ge asked calmly,

"I thought about checking with the military...but when I wanted to do that, I was scared."

The old man looked at the surging vehicles on the street, and after being silent for a while, he continued,

"At least, now I can continue to wait... Although I don't know where she is, at least she is still somewhere."

"After the troops were withdrawn, it was even more difficult to confirm..."

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man again and said nothing more.

The old man looked into the distance and continued to speak,

"...My parents passed away early. After I couldn't find her, I didn't seem to have a place to go. I rented a house on the other side of the road,"

The old man was talking, raised his hand, and pointed to the opposite side of the road,

"It's just above the teahouse. Through the window, I can see the vegetable market entrance."

"... At the beginning, I always thought of her from time to time, and also thought of things on the battlefield. Every day I would walk around here. When I was in that room, I wanted to open the window to take a look from time to time.

I wanted to see that when I opened the window, she happened to be on the side of the road, stopping the bean curd vendor and buying bean curd...but I never saw this scene again.

I was there, watching this place transform from a vegetable market into a square, and then slowly into what it is now,

After a long time, the memory seems to be covered with a layer of dust, the things on the battlefield, and her... It feels farther and farther away, more and more blurred, only when passing this intersection, I can't help it I wanted to stop and look back to see if she was right behind.

Gradually, I felt that I had forgotten and thought about it. Although I didn’t find anyone to marry, I still lived my life normally. When I was off work, I went out to eat with my colleagues... It seems like this is the same for the rest of my life passed. "

The old man slowly turned his eyes, looked across the street, and also looked at the two sides,

"...It's just that I'm getting old and coming to an end, and some things that I thought I had already forgotten are becoming clearer and clearer in front of my eyes, as if it was still yesterday...

In the past few days, I can't help but think about the things when I was young. Those things seem to be in my mind, and they reappeared little by little.

When I was sleeping last night, I seemed to dream of her. She was at the entrance of the vegetable market, wearing a white skirt, padded her feet, looking around, as if waiting for me to come to her. She was still the same, the same as before... "

……

"...Mom, it sells bean curds, I want to eat bean curds..."

At this moment, an old man passed by the square carrying a load with two wooden barrels on both sides. A child pulled her mother in surprise and ran towards the old man selling bean curds.

"...Little girl, don't panic, this is for you..."

The bean curd seller smiled and put down his burden,

Turning his gaze and looking at that place, the old man's cloudy eyes seemed to be in a trance, looking at it in a daze,

"Please give me a bowl too."

Lian Ge glanced at the old man, and shouted at the bean curd seller.

Chapter 248 Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law

"……okay."

The old man carrying the bean curd bucket responded, and lifted the upper half of the wooden lid of the bucket,

The wooden barrel is relatively deep, and there is a partition embedded in the upper part. On the partition, there are some seasoning materials. Under the partition is a pottery jar sealed with a cloth ball.

The old man selling bean curds took down a disposable plastic bowl from another partition, picked up an iron spoon, removed the cloth ball on the pottery pot, and scooped some still hot steam from the pottery pot with the iron spoon. The steaming bean curd was put into a bowl,

And deftly, he took the seasoning on the partition and added it up,

"Give."

The peddler took a small disposable spoon, put it into a bowl, held the bean curd, and handed it to Lian Ge,

"how much is it?"

"Four yuan." The old bean curd seller replied with a smile,

"...There shouldn't be many bean curd sellers like you, old man, who carry the burden?"

Lian Ge took out a piece of money from his pocket, handed it to the old bean curd seller, and said aloud at the same time,

"... Hey, it's still a big ticket." The old bean curd seller took the money and replied with a smile, "I only come out every now and then. Don't let it... I just can't be idle, I still want to carry the burden and go out for a walk when I have time... here."

After talking, the old bean curd seller handed the change to Lian Ge, and then walked back to the burden, put the wooden lid on the barrel, picked up the burden, and gradually walked away towards the distance.

……

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the old man in the wheelchair,

From just now, the old man has been silent, watching the peddler selling bean curd in the distance, his cloudy eyes are a little dazed, as if caught in memory,

"...Old man, I have listened to you for so long, please eat a bowl of bean curd." Lian Ge looked at the old man, said with a smile, and handed the bowl of bean curd to the old man in the wheelchair.

Hearing the sound, the old man turned his gaze back from a distance to Lian Ge,

Looking at Lian Ge, the old man paused, then glanced at the bean curd that Lian Ge handed over,

Raising his trembling hands, the old man held the bean curd bowl tremblingly, and took it.

……

Holding it in his hands, trembling slightly, the old man lowered his head, staring at the bean curd in the bowl, silently,

"...Except for this bowl and spoon, this bowl of bean curd still looks the same as before."

The old man withdrew his gaze, raised his head,

"Don't old people have a taste?" Lian Ge looked at the street in front of him and said calmly,

"Don't eat...don't eat..."

The old man looked at the bean curd in his hand again, shook his head,

"Young man, you can eat."

As he spoke, the old man trembled, holding the bean curd bowl, and handed it to Lian Ge again.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge took it with both hands,

Didn't eat it, just carried it.

The old man turned his head and looked at the street in front of him again.

……

"...For the past two days, I can't help but want to come here again... I don't know if I'm waiting for her."

The old man looked into the distance, paused, and shook his head slightly,

"...It's just... I can't wait, I can't wait..."

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge didn't say anything more.

And at this moment,

"...Old man, old man..."

In the distance, a somewhat eager voice came from far to near, a middle-aged woman trotted from a distance, ran over,

"...Mr. Huo, why are you here again?"

Seeing the figure of the old man, the middle-aged woman let go, walked up to him, and said with some reproach,

"...Sorry to trouble you." The old man turned his head, looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "I just want to come here for a while."

"It's not troublesome, but the silent figure at your place disappeared. The little girl who just came here was so scared that she almost cried. As soon as I guessed that you were here, I hurried to find you."

The middle-aged woman softened her tone when she heard the old man's words.

"Next time you want to come here, I'll just push you over. You can stay as long as you want... Do you want to sit for a while, old man? I'll be here with you."

"No more, no more..." The old man shook his head, looked away from a distance,

"Then let's go back? Mr. Yan is still waiting for you to go back for dinner in the courtyard."

"Let's go." The old man nodded and responded, then turned his head and glanced at Lian Ge, "Young man, thank you. After listening to me tell you about the past for so long, I will go first."

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man, smiled and nodded.

The middle-aged woman also gave a slight gesture to Lian Ge,

Immediately after, he pushed the old man away gradually.

……

"...Mr. Huo, today the kitchen specially made you the dumpling soup that you like. Your appetite has not been very good for the past two days. You must eat more tonight."

"...By the way, Mr. Huo, did you go to the toilet today? You didn't go to the toilet yesterday, didn't you? Don't be constipated. How about I ask a doctor to come over and show you. "

The voice gradually faded away with the figure.

……

Watching the old man disappear from sight, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the figure beside him who was surrounded by Yin Qi, gloomy ghostly air, but with a somewhat disorganized soul and body.

After taking a look, Lian Ge looked away, and while walking towards the shade of the tree next to the square next to it, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, talked to Gu Xiaoying, and ended the call.

The haunted figure followed Lian Ge silently, walking to the side step by step.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Lian Ge also walked to a bench under the shade of the tree,

It's already night, and under the shade of the trees, it's a little dark, and I can't see other figures when I look around, it looks very quiet,

Turning around, Lian Ge looked at the figure following him,

Looking at his ghostly but slack body and the black suit he was wearing, Lian Ge said calmly,

"...According to the regulations of the underworld, it should be a violation of the laws of the underworld to keep the dead forcibly?"

"Tianshi Mingjian, according to the laws of the underworld, if there is no order, privately obstruct the cycle of life and death, and force the dead to be suppressed in the lower hell, and will be punished by thousands of swords for a hundred years...As a ghost messenger...knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is aggravated Wait."

A female voice sounded, and standing in front of Lian Ge was a female ghost officer in black formal attire, who was bowing down and respectfully speaking to Lian Ge at the moment, while speaking, a look of pain flashed across his face,

"...Moreover, if the yin difference is strong to keep the dead, it is necessary to maintain the soul-locking technique with yin qi, so as to prevent the deceased from losing their souls and being repelled by the body, leaving the body. The longer the time, the more yin qi mana will be consumed.

When the yin power is exhausted, it can only be replenished with the original source. When the original source is exhausted, it is the time when the karma of the yin is exhausted and the soul flies away. "

Glancing at the female ghost messenger with a disorganized soul, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked into the distance and said,

"Look at the degree of decay of the old man's body, and then look at the degree of laxity of your soul and body. It's been almost a week?"

"The Celestial Master clearly observes!"

The female ghost messenger bowed even more, and replied,

Immediately after, the female ghost officer went straight down, knelt down in front of Lian Ge, touched the ground with her head,

"...The Heavenly Master is merciful, the kid violated the laws of the underworld and is willing to be punished, but please ask the Heavenly Master for extra mercy so that Huo Siguo can continue to wait."

While talking, the female ghost officer kowtowed and begged,

"The Celestial Master is merciful, and I hope that the Celestial Master will show mercy..."

"The person he's waiting for isn't you?"

Lian Ge glanced at the female ghost officer prostrate on the ground, looked away, and asked calmly.

"No." The ghost girl shook her head and replied.

Hearing this, Lian Ge paused, turned his gaze to the distance,

"The decay of his body is approaching its limit. Even if his soul stays with him, he won't be able to wait for long... In other words, his body is about to rot."
