India

When Ji Guiran found the trace of the snake and was chasing it in the town, Mo Nan didn't know about it at all. He was still listening to He Jing's eloquent explanation of the water and soil in the courtyard.

In fact, Mo Nan knew almost all the origins that He Jing told him from Yun Shuangyue, and now it's just a difference between a dictation and an illustration.But he saw that He Jing was serious, so he was embarrassed to interrupt him. Fortunately, Mo Nan was used to this kind of flattery since he was a child, and he was very comfortable in responding to He Jing.

"Wow! So that's it!"

"Soul Mountain Township has such a history!"

"Brother He, you are really admirable!"

hypocritical.Mo Nan couldn't help but pissed himself inwardly.

After He Jing had almost explained the reason, Mo Nan felt that it was time to find a starting point to get to the point of his own.

He found a suitable question and asked, "Well...Brother He, you have lived here for so long, have you really seen her?"

He Jing laughed wryly when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "If I can really see her, why should I look for trouble every day?"

"Then why do you still insist on living here? I think life here must be inconvenient. Since you can't get what you want... why don't you go back?"

"Then Mr. Mo thinks, can everyone living in Soul Mountain Village see the souls of their dead?"

"This……"

He Jing's rhetorical question left Mo Nan at a loss as to how to respond.He thought to himself, yeah, with so many people living in this town, can't everyone see ghosts?Since they couldn't see it, why didn't they leave this ghost place?

Seeing that Mo Nan didn't answer, He Jing replied indifferently: "It's all because of reluctance. It's not so much reluctance, it's better to say that it's unwillingness. I don't want to say goodbye to this. Yin and Yang are separated forever. I would rather stay in the Here, I believe that she is by my side, and I don’t want to live without her.”

He Jing looked at the empty tree branch, and his eyes deepened a bit: "Death is a very cruel thing. After a person dies, the people around him may mourn him vigorously, or they may mourn him because of his grief. Crying loudly, what happened after that? When he was buried in the ground, he began to forget, which was more sad than before. He forgot his voice, smile, behavior, and the time he lived with him. After he gradually got used to it, this People are completely forgotten by the world.”

Mo Nan listened in a daze, feeling that what he said was a little profound to him.

"I originally thought that the theory of ghosts and gods was nonsense, and that when a person dies, he is dead, but the moment I saw her die, I wanted to believe it." He Jing murmured, "You said, if her soul What will happen now if you are still alive?"

"She's by your side." Mo Nan blurted out, and only after he finished speaking did he feel that something was wrong.

He Jing was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Mo Nan to say that, then he thought he was comforting himself, and smiled indifferently: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your comfort, I just thought, after so many years, if her soul is still floating in the world , then it should be quite lonely for her every day."

Lonely... Mo Nan hadn't thought about how the ghosts of those who had passed away felt.When people mention ghosts, they are generally afraid to avoid them. How many people will think about their psychological changes.He didn't expect the person in front of him to take this into consideration, which shows that Yun Shuangyue is such an important existence in his eyes.

"So, I chose to come here, this Hunshan Township," He Jing put his hand on the rough tree trunk, and the words were more like speaking to himself, "But it has been three years, I think she may She has already gone elsewhere, or was reincarnated..."

"..."

Mo Nan really wanted to tell him that Yun Shuangyue had always been in the mansion, but He Jing would only treat him as a polite remark.He probably knew why Yun Shuangyue asked him to persuade He Jing to leave, no one could bear such a situation.

Then how should he open his mouth so that He Jing can understand Yun Shuangyue's painful mood?

Before he could think of what to say next, He Jing reacted first, and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I accidentally said a lot of strange things, please don't pay attention."

"Won't……"

"Blame me for not controlling my emotions well. Mr. Mo must be more concerned about his own business than listening to my old man's whispers."

"...Oh, oh..." Mo Nan almost didn't understand what he was talking about, and it took him a while to remember.

"In that case, go get busy. I'm used to being alone, so please don't pay too much attention to me. If you need help, you can tell me."

"Brother He, you are too polite."

After all, this is also the He Mansion, He Jing is so polite to Mo Nan, he is a little embarrassed.

It just so happened that Mo Nan didn't know how to communicate with He Jing, so it would be better to go to the side first and organize the language instead of daring to speak up.Thinking of this, he bid farewell to He Jing temporarily.

Mo Nan started to get busy in the mansion. Of course, he wasn't looking for a seal snake in that corner, he was just looking for Yun Shuangyue's figure.

However, he hastily searched through the entire mansion, and even went to sneak into the storage room where he first saw her, but he didn't even see a single hair.Mo Nan once again began to wonder if she had fulfilled her wish and went to reincarnation. The problem was that he hadn't completed what she asked her to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, he thought that Yun Shuangyue might still be in the mansion, and maybe she would appear suddenly by accident.With such speculation in mind, he sat down on the steps in front of the guest room.

At this time, it was dusk, and the entire mansion was covered with the golden afterglow of the setting sun, making it even more empty and desolate.

As for Ji Guiran, he had been following the white snake for a whole day.

The snake looked lazy, but it was very nimble. In addition to its short body, it often fled away when it was about to be caught.

Ji Guiran was very annoying, it was fine if he didn't let him catch this crap, he thought it was unlucky for him to sprint away from the beginning, but the speed of this snake fluctuated from time to time, never disappearing from his sight, sometimes When he thought it was going away, it would suddenly appear in a corner not far away, and crawl up again when he got close.

This cycle went on and on, and Ji Guiran's lack of patience was almost exhausted by it.An angry expression appeared on his face, thinking that if he caught this snake, he would not only bleed it and spare it, but he would chop it into pieces and cook it to eat.

Just as he was thinking about how to cook the snake meat, the white color appeared in front of him again.Ji Guiran approached quickly without even thinking about it, but it reacted one step faster than him, and slipped away with a flick of its tail.

"..."

very good.Ji Guiran decided to eat it raw.

Dusk passed quickly, the sky darkened, there were few lights in the town, and the areas that could be seen clearly decreased a lot.

As if the snake had finally had enough, it crawled to the foot of the mountain in the north of the town, and disappeared in a jiffy.

Ji Guiran looked at the direction it was leaving, and thinking about the day it had spent, the veins on his forehead twitched unconsciously.

Then the problem came, Ji Guiran looked at the mountain in front of him, he hesitated whether to follow the snake's direction to catch up, the reason for his hesitation was not that it was dark, but Ji Guiran remembered the cheeky snake who followed him before. people.

Speaking of which, Mo Nan didn't seem to have any troubles on him. If he really left him like this and left, probably...

Ji Guiran snorted softly, turning around and walking in the direction of He's house, looking troubled.

Mo Nan has been helpless in the He Mansion for a long time. He watched the dusk gradually darken, the darkness enveloped the sky, and the stars dotted the night sky. He still had no clue.

It would be great if He Jing could be convinced that he had seen Yun Shuangyue.Thinking like this, he propped his hands on the ground, intending to lift his numb buttocks, but unexpectedly, halfway up, he saw a pale face appearing in front of him.

"!!" His hands trembled, and he fell straight on his buttocks, "Oh, it hurts!"

You don't even need to guess to know who is coming.

"...Grandma! Every time you come out, can you say something first? Half of my soul will be scared away by you!" He complained, rubbing his sore buttocks.

Complaints are nothing but complaints. After he knew that it was Yun Shuangyue who had come, he accepted her existence calmly. Mo Nan himself admired his boldness.

Yun Shuangyue didn't say a word, and indeed she couldn't speak either, she just looked at Mo Nan with questioning eyes, with some anticipation in doubt.

"Hey, don't look at me like that... I'm too embarrassed to say that the matter hasn't been resolved yet."

Yun Shuangyue lowered her head again, as if she was lost, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing her like this, Mo Nan was also anxious: "You, don't... I know you feel uncomfortable, but Brother He is determined to live here... I won't be able to persuade you for a while."

After thinking for a while, he added: "And he said that you may be alone in this world. I think a large part of the reason why he came here was because he was worried about you."

Only then did Yun Shuangyue react, she raised her head and stared at him blankly, her already lifeless eyes became even more lifeless.

"Actually, I think...he is here, and you are here to accompany him. Although people and ghosts have different paths, you can be regarded as relying on each other. Even if he can't see you, you should feel relieved..."

Before Mo Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Shuangyue's movements.Her expression suddenly became serious, and she put her hand on his shoulder, exerting a little force.

"Grandma... Take it easy... I'm afraid..." Mo Nan didn't know which sentence was wrong, but felt a dull pain in the place where she restrained her shoulder.

Then, Yun Shuangyue's hand lightened, her expression gradually changed from dignified to helpless, and there was deep sadness in the helplessness.

"??" Mo Nan didn't know what happened to her.

Her hand was still on his shoulder, and she didn't withdraw it for a long time, but she raised her eyes and took a deep look at Mo Nan, then shook her head meaningfully.

This is... what do you mean?

Mo Nan suddenly remembered that He Jing was next to the mountain cherry tree today, and what he said was lonely.

He looked at Yun Shuangyue's melancholy expression, and suddenly, some answer flashed in his mind.All the words before and after were gradually spliced ​​together, and a certain truth was revealed to him step by step.

……

"...I understand!" Mo Nan hurriedly pulled the hand off his shoulder as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Then he didn't say anything more, leaving Yun Shuangyue in place, and hurriedly hurried towards a certain direction.

Seeing his enlightened expression, Yun Shuangyue showed worry instead of joy on his pale face, and she followed Mo Nan silently.
