Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

After seeing Yu Bingqing and Tiedan, her parents were unexpectedly not too shocked, but remained silent for a while.

The sadness on their faces became more and more intense, and they seemed to want to say something to stop it, but they couldn't find the words to say because they didn't understand this field at all.

Senior sister wanted to speak, but was stopped by my eyes.

It was obviously the best time for her to suddenly let her know these things.

I didn't want to hide this kind of thing, for no other reason than because I cared about her.

When it was time for dinner, the guests at home left one after another.

They were all worried about Muxue, especially grandma and grandpa.

Later, I explained to the two elders for a long time and promised that Mu Xue would wake up after a while, which made them feel at ease.

I originally planned to go back to Granny Tian that night, but then I thought that I would die soon, and my future was uncertain.

I suddenly felt that time was extremely precious.

That night, my parents and I chatted all night long until about five o'clock in the morning.

I talked about my childhood, Muxue, my origins and experiences in learning Taoism, and my views on life and death.

We also talked about whether I would die tomorrow and why I would die. The body would probably be taken home at night, and I would ask my parents to prepare a coffin to help me with my funeral arrangements.

Preparing for the funeral is a heavy topic, even though I talked about it in a meaningless tone with a smile.

My parents were silent, but my mother said she wanted to go with me and stay with me.

I rejected this idea. If she went together, there would definitely be an uncontrollable scene.

I wonder how many mothers in the world can watch their sons die in front of them?

This night, I basically convinced my parents.

They accepted my idea, and although they were reluctant to give up, they also agreed that I would sacrifice my life for senior sister, Yu Bingqing, and Tiedan.

In fact, everyone can understand this kind of multiple-choice question of three people dying, one person dying, or four people dying.

Anyone with a little sense knows how to choose.

At around six o'clock in the morning, after having my last breakfast at home, I left almost all the money I had at home.

Although this is not what my parents want, this is what I can give.

Dad found a car and took us to the county town.

My senior sister and I traveled non-stop in the county town and chartered a car to go to the county town where Granny Tian lived.

Along the way, my senior sister barely spoke to me.

I knew she was blaming me, so I tried my best to make her happy along the way.

Later, she seemed to understand my situation and didn't argue with me anymore. She just held my arm tightly and shed tears secretly.

But she didn't cry, maybe because she was afraid of causing any psychological burden to me.

The car drove very fast that day, and it only took more than three hours to reach the entrance of Granny Tian's village.

The senior sister asked the driver to stop the car and said she wanted to take a walk with me.

After getting off the bus, the senior sister suddenly said naughtily:

"Junior brother, you said it would be great if we could have a son and a half daughter."

I was shocked by what my senior sister said. I don’t know how she could have such thoughts at such a young age.

But this idea is very unacceptable to me.

If she really had a son and a half, it would harm her for the rest of her life.

I cannot bear this responsibility, nor do I want to bear it.

Her true love is not me, but someone else she can rely on for the rest of her life.

"Senior sister, one day you will meet such a person. He is better than me and understands you better than me. He will grow old with you, have a family full of children and grandchildren, and spend this life peacefully."

I held my senior sister's hand tightly. In fact, when I said these words, I felt very jealous of that man.

"But he may not be able to protect me with his life. He will also call me Liu Dian, and he will not say "Hello, Senior Sister" to me when we first meet. Even if he carries me behind his back, I can't be safe with him. Falling asleep on my back..."

The senior sister's words became increasingly sad.

She said this for a long time, each sentence summarizing every bit of our past.

Although we don’t have gorgeous romance and life-and-death experiences.

But every eye contact we make makes each other feel warm.

Along the way, I was almost silent.

Senior sister said:

"No one in this world can give me a sense of security like you, you know? When I was in Thailand, even if I was caught and locked up in that hellish cave, I didn't have any fear. Knowing that you will come to rescue me and will definitely rescue me, I will never have any worries when I am with you, because after Master leaves, you will be my biggest support."

The senior sister used these ordinary words to express all her reluctance and vent all her attachments unscrupulously.

Although she is my senior sister, she is only a girl in her twenties after all.

She also has a soft and delicate heart just like her appearance.

When I arrived at the door of Grandma Tian's house, I grabbed my senior sister.

The senior sister looked at me doubtfully, and I mustered up the courage to hug her tightly into my arms.

She said so much, and all I could respond to her was a tight hug.

I owe her so much that I feel guilty whenever I see her.

This hug lasted for a long time. To put it in a rather cruel way:

"How I wish time could freeze at this moment."

But the more I thought about it, the faster time passed, and it soon reached eleven o'clock.

At eleven o'clock, we walked into the door of Granny Tian's house on time.

The door of Granny Tian's own room was open, and Wang Siqi was not at home. Granny Tian should have pushed her away.

As soon as my senior sister and I walked into Granny Tian's room, Granny Tian saw us walking into the room. She sighed and said:

"Actually, I really hope you don't show up."

"Haha, Granny Tian, ​​what is supposed to come will come. I can't back down from what is supposed to be done. I'm sorry to bother you."

I smiled and walked over.

In the room, in addition to the round table before, there was also a long wooden ladder leaning against the wall.

This wooden ladder is very long, and the angle formed with the ground is relatively small.

The bottom of the wooden ladder was almost in the middle of the room, three or four meters away from the wall. There was a red cloth about two meters long and wide under the wooden ladder.

There is a thick rope hanging on the top of the wooden ladder. The rope is very short, a bit like the knot used for hanging on TV.

The lower part of the wooden ladder is also wrapped with a piece of rope. This rope is shorter and is just hung casually on the ladder.

Are you asking me to hang myself?

I thought with lingering fear that hanging would be too ugly a way to die.

It doesn't matter if the way of death is ugly, the key point is that hanging like this may be considered suicide.

If you commit suicide, your soul will definitely not end well.

My work has not been completed yet, and I will never enter the underworld as a suicidal ghost. In that case, let alone escaping, whether I can be reincarnated is another matter.

"Young man, we have to start. If the mother voodoo is not killed at noon, the child voodoo will attack and we will be in trouble."

Seeing me staring at the rope in a daze, Granny Tian finally spoke out.

"Well, Granny Tian, ​​isn't it suicide?"

I asked as I walked towards the ladder.

Granny Tian shook her head and said:

"Of course not. There are so many obstacles to committing suicide. How could I let you use this method?"

I nodded:

"Then I'm relieved. Come on, Granny Tian, ​​what should I do? Do I want to climb to the top of the ladder?"

Granny Tian said:

"No need for now, you lie down under the red cloth, we still have to do some preparations."

"OK,"

As I said that, I walked up and said to my senior sister:

"Sister, after I go, you will take care of all my things. I don't know what will happen next, but you must be good and wait for me to come back to you, and contact a car that can transport the body. I’ll transport it back to my hometown.”

The senior sister did not speak, but nodded silently.

Her teeth bit her lip tightly, as if she was biting her mouth to bleed.

"Senior sister, why don't you go wait outside."

This kind of thing is too cruel for senior sister, she doesn't need to witness it with her own eyes.

The senior sister shook her head and said:

"No matter what happens, I will be by your side. Don't worry, I think clearly and won't cause any trouble for you."

I nodded...

"Take off your shoes and socks and lie on your back on the red cloth."

Granny Tian held a voodoo jar in one hand and placed the voodoo jar on the ground as she spoke.

He turned around and took two more Gu jars from the round table.

I sat on the red cloth on the ground and started to untie my shoelaces.

The senior sister came over in a hurry and untied the other shoe for me with trembling hands...
