"what?"

Suddenly there was a surprised sound from the side, it was from Sister Wu.

She opened her mouth to refute, but was stopped by her son Zhang Qiang, "Let's have a look first."

He Sihai ignored them, but continued: "I met him in Hezhou. You asked him to go out to buy salt that day. On the way back, he was hit by a car. After he died, he was so angry that he followed the car that caused the accident all the way. I ran to Hezhou, but forgot how to get back..."

"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't buy the salt for you, I didn't play on the road..." Xia Zhi said sadly beside her.

"I know, I know, Xia Zhi listens to her mother the most." Xia Guizhi hugged him in her arms.

"You said this is the summer solstice, doesn't the summer solstice look like this?" At this moment, sister Wu couldn't help but said loudly after all.

"This is my son, he is Xia Zhi, he looked like this when he was a child." Xia Guizhi looked a little excited.

"Yes, this is what he looked like when he was a child. When he was this old, some accident must have happened, which caused his body to go wrong. Although his body was growing, his soul had not grown up, so both intelligence and soul have always been stay at that age."

"It's a fever, it's caused by a high fever."

Xia Guizhi hugged Xia Zhi tightly in her arms, gently stroking his little face, she hadn't seen him like this for many years.

At this moment, Xia Guizhi suddenly remembered something.

Turning around, she said excitedly to Sister Wu: "Sister Wu, my son is not stupid, he is not stupid, he just hasn't grown up yet."

Chapter 672 In the next life, I will be your father

Sister Wu is different from Xia Guizhi.

Xia Guizhi's emotions had already overwhelmed her reason, so she believed everything He Sihai said.

But Sister Wu is different, Xia Zhi is not her son after all, reason is naturally greater than emotion.

"You...you are not lying, are you?"

So Sister Wu questioned.

But she looked at He Sihai anxiously, what if it was true? If it was true, this kind of deceitful spirit involved would always make people feel awe.

But He Sihai was not angry, and raised doubts, which is human nature.

He ate a few mouthfuls of stewed food while it was hot, and then he beckoned to Xia Zhi.

"Give me the soul lamp."

Xia Zhi heard the words, and immediately handed the soul-inducing lamp that had been in his arms to He Sihai across the table.

"Put it on the table." He Sihai said.

Wan Wan was still eating her braised stew with her head down. It was almost noon, and she was also hungry.

Looking at the exquisite soul-inducing lamp on the table, everyone showed puzzled expressions.

He Sihai reached out and tapped the lampshade lightly, and the orange-red light that was originally emitting suddenly went out.

And the summer solstice disappeared without a trace under everyone's eyes.

"Huh? Where's the person?" Sister Wu lowered her head in surprise, subconsciously looking under the table.

Xia Guizhi became even more flustered.

"Summer solstice~" she cried in a tearful voice.

Then he looked at He Sihai.

"Don't worry, Xia Zhi is still sitting next to you." He Sihai said.

Sister Wu also raised her head at this time, and looked at He Sihai anxiously with her son, the corners of her mouth twitched, she wanted to explain, she wanted to beg for forgiveness, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Xia Zhi is dead. This is an indisputable fact. When a person dies, the soul will return to the Underworld and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. However, the soul of those who have not fulfilled their wishes will stay in the world. Only when their wishes are fulfilled can they return to the Underworld. "

Sister Wu and Zhang Qiang were a little stunned when they heard the words.

But Xia Guizhi was more worried about her son's wish.

"What unfulfilled wish does Xia Zhi have?" She said sadly.

He thought that there was something wrong with himself, which made his son feel uneasy about his life.

"Let him tell you himself."

As He Sihai said, he stretched out his hand and lightly flicked the lampshade of the Soul Lamp again.

A small orange flame immediately burned in the lampshade.

Everyone subconsciously looked beside Xia Guizhi, and sure enough, they saw Xia Zhi sitting there, smiling and looking at everyone.

Xia Guizhi hugged him into her arms.

"Xia Zhi, what unfulfilled wish do you have? Tell your mother, mother... Even if mother dies, she will help you fulfill your wish." Xia Guizhi said.

"I want to say sorry to mom, I'm sorry, mom, I didn't buy the salt for you." Xia Zhi said sadly.

Xia Guizhi was stunned when she heard this, and then hugged him even tighter.

"It's okay, it's okay, does Xia Zhi have any other unfulfilled wishes?" Xia Guizhi asked.

Xia Zhi was confused when he heard the words.

"Crafty wishes are usually formed by the obsession in the heart before death. If you were riddled with sins in life, even if you have unfulfilled wishes, you will usually be forcibly dragged to the Netherland for trial. If you did many good deeds or had no sins in life Only those who have unfulfilled wishes can stay in the world."

"Wishes don't matter how big or small they are. Xiazhi people are very simple, so wishes are also very simple. I am the guide of the Netherland, and my duty is to help these souls who stay in the world fulfill their wishes and extradite the Netherland."

He Sihai finished the last mouthful of stewed food in the bowl, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Xia Guizhi glanced at Xia Zhi in her arms, and then asked with great reluctance: "So, now Xia Zhi...is he going to return to the Underworld?"

He Sihai nodded.

The corner of Xia Guizhi's mouth twitched, she wanted to say it but dared not.

He Sihai glanced at Xia Zhi, and then said: "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

"Then... can that make Xia Zhi leave later? Tell him to wait, I... I want to go with him." Xia Guizhi asked anxiously.

Then he looked expectantly at He Sihai.

He Sihai nodded, because he saw that Xia Guizhi's vitality was even weaker, and he probably wouldn't live for a few days.

"Master Jieyin, are you an immortal? I beg you, please save Guizhi?" At this moment, Sister Wu suddenly knelt down.

His son Zhang Qiang hurriedly tried to pull her up, fearing that she would be so abrupt.

He Sihai glanced at her, then turned to Xia Guizhi and asked, "Do you want to continue living?"

Xia Guizhi looked down at Xia Zhi in her arms, then shook her head firmly.

"Sister Wu, thank you for your kindness, but this is actually the best result." Xia Guizhi said.

"But, but..." Sister Wu murmured, but she didn't know what to say.

"Are you full?" He Sihai asked Wanwan beside him.

There was still some left in her bowl, but Wanwan still nodded, this bowl was still too much for her.

"Let's go when we're full." He Sihai took out a tissue and handed it to her, asking her to wipe it off.

"Hiahiahia...Okay." Wanwan happily took it, and then jumped down on the bench.

"Master Immortal, wait a moment..." Xia Zhi broke free from her mother's arms, turned around and ran towards the back room.

Xia Guizhi and the others looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do, and watched him disappear before everyone's eyes.

Then watched helplessly as he reappeared and ran back.

"I didn't have a soul lamp." Xia Zhi said with some embarrassment.

Then he picked up the soul lamp on the table and ran back to the inner room again.

Xia Guizhi quickly stood up and followed.

Soon Xia Guizhi held the soul-inducing lamp, and Xia Zhi ran out holding a small round fish tank with a little turtle in it.

"This is your reward. This is Xia Xiaomeng, you have to take good care of it." Xia Zhi said with reluctance in his eyes.

"If I accept your reward now, you won't be able to wait to leave with your mother." He Sihai did not accept his reward.

Xia Zhi was at a loss, not understanding what He Sihai meant, and so were Xia Guizhi and others.

So He Sihai roughly explained the duties of the guide.

"Then...then I'll ask my lord to help me fulfill my wish, I...do I have to pay you too?" Xia Guizhi asked cautiously.

"No, I didn't formally accept your wish. How about this, these two bowls of stewed rice are my reward, do you think it's okay?" He Sihai pointed to the two empty bowls on the table and said.

"This... this..."

"Can't you?"

"No, no, I mean isn't it too..."

He Sihai didn't listen to her anymore, but bowed his head to Xia Zhi and said, "You help me raise it for two days first, and I'll get it later."

"Okay." Xia Zhi happily hugged the fish tank tightly in her arms.

"Wanwan, let's go, go home." He Sihai turned his head and said to Wanwan.

"it is good."

Wanwan stretched out her hand to hold He Sihai, and with a wave of her hand, the two disappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the soul-inducing lamp in Xia Guizhi's hand, the lamp was still on.

"Hey, the lamp hasn't been returned to Mr. Yingying yet." Xia Guizhi said nervously.

"Without the light, mom won't be able to see me, and she won't be able to talk to me." Xia Zhi said a little strangely.

Xia Guizhi reacted, put down the soul-inducing lamp in her hand, and bowed with clasped hands in the direction where He Sihai disappeared.

Sister Wu and Zhang Qiang hurriedly followed suit and saluted.

……

"Zhang Qiang."

"What's the matter, Mom?"

"Sir, you won't blame me for picking you up, right?"

"Probably not, this fairy is very good, why would he blame you for a few words?"

"That's good, that's good." Sister Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said: "Your Aunt Xia probably won't live for a few days, so I kept telling adults to say the same."

Zhang Qiang fell silent upon hearing this.

Aunt Xia was also very kind to him when he was a child, and often bought him delicious food. It can be said that he was treated as half a son. After he became an adult, he gave birth to a lot.

"After your Aunt Xia has gone, you have to remember to burn some paper money for her during the festival every year. This is what your Aunt Xia told me specifically."

"Mom, I see."

"Don't just say it with your mouth, you must remember it in your heart."

"I know, dare I not keep it in my heart? What if Aunt Xia asks me to settle accounts after I die in the future?"

"That's right." Aunt Wu laughed.

In the end, it turned into a deep sigh.

……

Two days later.

"Mother."

"what happened?"

"Why are you dead too?" Xia Zhi asked sadly.

"Because my mother is seriously ill." Xia Guizhi said while touching Xia Zhi's cheek.

"But...but..." Xia Zhi was very wronged, and wanted to express it, but didn't know how to say it.
