[Urban Spirituality] Heaven's Way

"Hello, maybe you don't know me...my name is Jiaozi..."

In the courtyard of Zuo’s house, there was a faint candlelight, and the little boy stood awkwardly on the stone path, looking at a point in the corner awkwardly.

The focus of the line of sight is Hua Yueru.

Hua Yueru couldn't speak, but her expression was extremely excited. She wriggled her lips, opened her nose slightly, her eyes were red, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her body unconsciously leaned forward.

From the opening and closing of her mouth, the two words, child, can be vaguely distinguished.

She was saying, baby, my baby.

Dumpling's eye circles turned red in an instant, he staggered and rushed over, threw himself into the arms of Hua Yueru who was rushing forward, and shouted: "Mom!"

With just this sound, everyone was moved and their hearts trembled, including Xiao Shi who came back excitedly. He remained silent and stared straight at the mother and child who were embracing each other.

He remembered the condition Zuo Mu had mentioned to Hua Yueru before, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the unpredictable Zuo Mu. He suddenly wanted to ask, why did he think of using that exchange?

After tonight, before dawn, according to the contract, Zuo Mu will take Hua Yueru's memory, all of it.

Hua Yueru will no longer remember those injuries, and at the same time, she will also forget everything that happened here, including the child in his arms, a small and thin dumpling.

Why do you want to do this?Xiao Shi doesn't understand. He has lived longer than Zuo Mu, but he thinks far less than Zuo Mu. He will never understand the twists and turns in Zuo Mu's intestines. He likes Zuo Mu and Zuo Mu's coolness. Not cold-blooded, likes Zuo Mu who loves money but is not greedy, likes Zuo Mu's concession to him but sticks to the bottom line... Zuo Mu has his own reasons for everything he does.

Xiao Shi scratched his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it at all, no matter what, he was standing behind Zuo Mu.

He knows what many people say about him, that he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

He is not as smart as Zuo Mu. In the eyes of many people, besides his status as a glutton, he is a powerful force. They are afraid of him, but they will not respect him. They will respect Zuo Mu from the bottom of their hearts and regard Zuo Mu as a friend. Always stay at arm's length.

But Xiao Shi never cared. He was willing to be a shield and always stand in front of Zuo Mu. He was willing to be a backstage and always stand behind Zuo Mu.

Zuo Mu can let go and do anything, and he will stand behind him and support him unconditionally.

The soul-inducing lamp had already been extinguished, Zuo Mu looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and his gaze returned to the mother and child who were embracing each other again.

Five years of waiting, separated by yin and yang, they never met, but their hearts never separated.

——Jiaozi, my dumpling, you have been wronged...

Hua Yueru couldn't speak, but Jiaozi could hear Hua Yueru's inner voice, the great joy and excitement, this unprecedented sense of warmth and fulfillment filled Jiaozi's heart, and he felt cold His body also seemed to heat up a bit.

"Mom, mom..." Dumpling hugged Hua Yueru, this was the first time he touched Hua Yueru's body, mother's body was hot, scorching hot, which made his heart warm along with it.

At this moment, Jiaozi was extremely grateful to Zuo Mu, because he knew that if it wasn't for Zuo Mu, he would only be able to penetrate Hua Yueru's body without actually touching it.

Zuo Mu's eyes were a little sad. He saw the child's grateful eyes. He knew that Dumpling must regard him as a good person at this time. It's a pity...

Zuo Mu regretted it for a moment, perhaps, he shouldn't have put forward such a condition.

Forgetting is unfair to Hua Yueru and Dumpling.

The scene of mother and child embracing each other is shocking, and Zuo Mu Xiaoshi is not the only one who is touched.

Cheng Zi tightly locked the mother and child in the middle of the residential courtyard, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were red. At this moment, he missed his "mother" very much.

Zuo Mu got off the altar and walked in front of Cheng Zi. He noticed Cheng Zi's bright red eyes and a look of grievance on his face. At this time, Xiao Shi also came over.

"Chengzi, what are you thinking?" Zuo Mu asked softly.

I never thought of a word, which made Cheng Zi grin and cry, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The chubby little hands rubbed their eyes, and big tears dripped onto the slate, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, mom..."

Cheng Zi cried very sadly, Zuo Mu couldn't help but think about it, isn't it cruel to let a child only see his mother twice a year?

Even if he had to bear it, isn't the price too high, since they could fight for him more?

Zuo Mu closed his eyes, and he also began to reflect on when exactly, he became less and less like a person, forgetting the emotions of those people at the beginning, so, what is the difference between him and those immortal gods who are high in the fairy world .

Xiao Shi held Zuo Mu's hand, and he was suddenly a little panicked. Thousands of years ago, Zuo Mu didn't want to cultivate immortality. If it wasn't for himself, Zuo Mu wouldn't have had to try for a long time.

Watching the friends around you keep getting old and dying, but you stay young forever and live forever.

Who is more sad than anyone else, those people and those things, after entering reincarnation, Meng Po soup, after forgetting Chuanhe, I no longer remember.Only the immortal will remember forever.

Chengzi's crying sound reminded them of their cruelty. They used their own methods to cut off the chance of Chengzi's reincarnation and let him, like them, begin a slow and lonely long life. After a hundred years, Lin Yi will be reincarnated , will no longer remember Cheng Zi, he will remember him for the rest of his life, but let Cheng Zi miss him forever.

Are they too cruel.

"Xiaoshi, do you think I did something wrong..." Zuo Mu couldn't help but said.

Xiaoshi patted Zuo Mu on the shoulder, and then held his hand, "It's not your responsibility, he chose this path himself, you are just guiding, don't forget, it is they themselves who choose this path in the end. "

No one can influence other people's thoughts, let alone Zuo Mu, who was just a stranger at the time. Although Chengzi is small, he is definitely not the kind of child who has no opinions.

Zuo Mu smiled wryly, "I know, but I still can't let go..." If he told the child how difficult this road to eternal life is, would he have made another choice in the past.

"Don't think about it, Chengzi will also know her friends and stay with her for a lifetime, just like us." Xiaoshi persuaded, blinking, and whispered into Zuo Mu's ear: "There is one ready-made right now."

Zuo Mu was dumbfounded, "You mean..."

Xiaoshi nodded and smiled. Some situations are very strange, but they are destined to be together hand in hand. In this world, there is always someone who will accompany you, accompany you, and go on forever.

"Clack-clack--" Three cock crows, the third watch falls, and the moonlight is still bright.

The Zuo family's house was silent, with lush plants and the fragrance of green grass.

Zuo Mu walked up to the altar again, looking down at the mother and child from a high position, "It's time."

Zuo Mu's calm voice was directly proportional to Hua Yueru's excited affection. She seemed to sense what Zuo Mu was going to do. She hugged her child tightly and protected her child with her body. She had a feeling that if she let go today, maybe The child will never be seen again.

What a terrible intuition, as expected of a woman born at [-]:[-] am on July [-]th.

The woman's yin energy and the ghost energy communicating with the ghost are perfectly presented on her body. Even if she is in such close contact with ghosts, she will not feel uncomfortable. If it is an ordinary person, her body will already feel cold, but this sleepless The woman still has the strength to play hide-and-seek for Zuo Mu.

Indeed, as this woman thought, Zuo Mu wanted to take away the dumplings. If Zuo Mu didn't take them away, Hua Yueru would be able to speak as soon as the third shift arrived, and the dumplings would also reveal their prototype. Those killed by others belong to acquired death, but dumplings are not. The dumplings will show their original appearance of being entangled in umbilical cords and starved of oxygen.

Zuo Mu knew that this was a mother's instinct, but Zuo Mu also knew that some things were not done by humans.

"Stop struggling, it's useless." Zuo Mu said calmly.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The bell around Zuo Mu's waist rang suddenly, and the third watch had arrived. Zuo Mu looked at the mother and child with some pity.

Cheng Zi had stopped crying at this time, and his nose was still red. The child came and went quickly, so he raised his head and asked, "Brother Xiaoshi——"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted Cheng Zi, "Look carefully, it's time."

"What—" Cheng Zi was at a loss, and before he could finish speaking, he froze.

"Ahhhh—" Hua Yueru's scream came from the courtyard.

I saw the thin and small child in her arms shrinking little by little, the cute features became wrinkled, the clothes disappeared, the body was wrapped in red blood dripping tubes, and the eyeballs were abrupt, staring straight at her , very scary.

Hua Yueru fell backwards all of a sudden, her body couldn't stop moving backwards.

"Mommy mommy--"

The child stretched out his bloody palm and slowly crawled towards Hua Yueru.

"Don't come, don't come!!" Hua Yueru screamed.

The baby spirit that had shown its original form stopped its crawling body, and Cheng Zi was so angry that even though he knew that people are instinctively afraid of ghosts, and he was frightened by the scene before him just now, but this is indeed the girl named Dumpling. Whether he becomes a human or a ghost, isn't it the prototype of him?

There was a hurt expression on Ying Ling's face, but his abrupt eyeballs seemed to fall off at any moment, and the gloomy aura around him made people ignore his sadness.

Zuo Mu stepped down from the altar.

"Humans and ghosts have different paths, you and her are not in the same world." Zuo Mu sighed.

Hua Yueru didn't dare to look at the dumplings in front of her, she was very guilty, the momentary scene of fright made her forget that the "monster" in her arms was her own child.

But she didn't dare to look up and trembled, because the appearance of the dumpling was so terrible, she was afraid, and she didn't dare to look at it a second time.

Xiao Shi shook his head. In fact, he didn't blame this woman. Everyone would be afraid. He still remembered the first time he saw Zuo Mu, a few stumps scared Zuo Mu to the point of peeing his pants. It is human instinct to be afraid of ghosts.

In fact, as long as you get used to it, it's a pity...

Xiao Shi looked at Zuo Mu, Zuo Mu would not give a woman a chance to get used to it, she only had one chance, no matter how she reacted, the result would be the same.

"It's time, do you know what to do?" Zuo Mu asked softly.

Yingling nodded, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, he looked back at his mother for the last time, his mother didn't look up, curled up on the ground trembling.

Yingling was disappointed.

Zuo Mu took out a maroon gourd bottle, and there was an exquisite golden script on the gourd. Cheng Zi recognized the gourd at a glance, and he had stayed in it once.

Zuo Mu unscrewed the mouth of the gourd, pointed the mouth of the bottle at the baby spirit, and the baby spirit turned into a wisp of white smoke and slowly entered the gourd bottle.

No one expected that when Zuo Mu closed the mouth of the gourd, Hua Yueru raised her head, and the stone slab was empty.

What about him, where did he go! ?

"My child, where is my child?" Hua Yueru's eyes widened, she looked around, and then fixed her eyes on Zuo Mu, "Master, my child, where is my child?"

"Aren't you afraid of him? Don't you want to see him?" Zuo Mu said coldly.

"No, it's not like this, it's not..." Hua Yueru shook her head desperately, she had already realized what had happened, she regretted it very much, she had decided to muster up the courage to hug her child just now, she regretted Yes, sorry.

Hua Yueru cried and knelt on the stone slab, very embarrassed, "It's not like this, it's not like this, I raised my head, I raised my head, give me back my child, give me back!!!"

The hoarse voice pierced the heart, every word was heartbroken.

"I was wrong, wrong, give me back my child..."

The gourd in Zuo Mu's hand shook for a while, but Zuo Mu didn't seem to feel anything strange, he put the gourd back in his cuff and let it shake.

"The fate of your mother and child is over, don't force it, you will meet in the future." Zuo Mu's voice was calm and unwavering, "Hua Yueru, I hope you will do more good deeds in the future, the disaster is over, and you will have future blessings. " After saying that, the gourd in Zuo Mu's cuff stopped shaking and became quiet.
