is this marriage

"Don't you have to go after that boy?"

The old man's reaction was slow, his ears and eyes were not very good, he didn't know what happened behind the screen just now, he only saw one of the handsome young men rushing out with a whirlwind red face.

"He probably doesn't want to see me right now."

Zhong Ye sighed helplessly, and stretched out his hand towards the old man, "I'll take you home first. But you have to remember that you, as a dead person and a living person, can't speak more than three sentences. When I say stop, you must talk to me." Go, otherwise it will reduce the lifespan of the living."

"Okay, okay, I, I just don't want to leave without saying goodbye, just say sorry to my wife."

The old man nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and the rough palm with the remaining warmth touched Zhong Ye's palm. He paused and murmured, "Ghost officer's hands are so warm."

Zhong Ye said nothing, and took him back to his former residence according to the old man's memories. It was an old school family courtyard in the old city. The plaster walls were covered with dark green creepers, and a layer of pale frost had accumulated on the leaves.

Most of the people living in the family courtyard are elderly and retired junior high school teachers. Zhong Ye cast a spell, and the living can't see the two of them.He helped the old man walk through the crowded but full of smoke and fire in the courtyard, and an old couple pushing a wheelchair came slowly towards him. Move under your own control.

"Old Zhao!"

The deceased old man habitually stopped to say hello, and he was still thinking about the events of his life, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have a few more sausages to dry at my house, remember to come and get them..."

Before he finished speaking, the couple had already passed him slowly. The warm greeting was just a passing wind to them. No one noticed that the old man who had disappeared a few days ago had returned here.

"I forgot, I've already left."

The old man smiled wryly, and the loneliness in his eyes could not be concealed. He was a junior high school history teacher before his death, and he still carried a bit of the culture of a scholar after his death.

Zhong Ye was not surprised, the couple who had just passed by had a faint lifelessness, which was the reaction of the end of their lifespan.

"That's Lao Zhao and his wife. Lao Zhao and I have been in the same class since elementary school, and we have been studying and working together. He is also a hard-working man. When he was 12 years old, his son ran into the mixer truck to play. The driver didn't pay attention. , was hanged alive, and a few years ago he was found to have liver cancer, the house leaked when it rained all night, and then he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, before he used to say that he was envious of my strong body, but who knew I was the one to leave first."

The old man sighed, he could only alleviate the loneliness of the previous life by telling Zhong Ye about the traces he left behind during his lifetime.

"Look, this is the wintersweet I just planted last month. I hope it will bloom and give it to my wife during the Chinese New Year... She likes flowers and she is also beautiful. Flowers can be called her, but her mouth is a bit poisonous. You said why I couldn't hold back and asked her a few words, I knew she wasn't really angry."

"And here, the pile of cartons are all express boxes sent by my wife to help other people shop online. There are a bunch of old bones in our yard. My wife is trendy and has learned how to use Taobao. We can buy whatever we want. Count on her."

When the old man talked about his partner, his face blushed, and his dark eyes lit up again. Zhong Ye listened in a deep voice, occasionally responding with a "hmm". They walked through the winding path and finally arrived at the old man's residence. I saw a police car parked outside the building, and there were many people coming and going in and out of the building.

It seems that the police have verified the identity of the old man's body and found the home.

"He just likes to go out and run around! Why did you say he went out at five in the morning?!"

The old lady's sharp voice came through the hollowed-out window in the stairway, "Does this damn old man purely want me to have a better life? Everyone on this road knows him, and he has been walking this road for more than ten years. I've never heard of danger... how come it suddenly, suddenly... woo..."

The angry words gradually condensed into sobs, and the old man's tears fell on the concrete floor, resoundingly,

"Last week he said he wanted a scarf, and I bought it for him online. He just arrived yesterday, and he hasn't worn it yet...Comrade police, comrade police...It's so cold in winter, I scolded him away, wear With so little, you said, you said how cold it must be when he left..."

The old man standing next to Zhong Ye could no longer hide his face and cry bitterly, and the policemen who came to the house couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Zhong Ye patted the old man on the shoulder and led him through the wall, into the still The little home that left his breath.

The old grandma sat on the sofa and wept uncontrollably. There was a young girl sitting beside her. She looked elegant and gentle, and she couldn't stop patting the old grandma's back.

"Master, don't cry yourself out. The teacher won't blame you. He knows you have a good heart, so he's definitely not angry with you."

"Yes, Master, don't worry, we will take care of you in the future. The teacher and you are like our parents. You treat me as your daughter, and I will accompany you every day."

The chubby girl on the other side also held the old grandma's hand, comforting her constantly.

There are also men in suits and leather shoes standing at the door who are discussing the cause of death and the funeral of the old man with the police. escaped and now the police are on the trail of the suspect.

"The teacher is kind to me, police comrades, you must bring the criminals to justice, and my law firm can provide you with any legal help you need."

The man repeatedly confessed to the police that they must investigate to the end. They refused the huge compensation and private negotiation from the owner of the luxury car, and they only wanted the perpetrators to be punished as they should.

The old man told Zhong Ye that their children are all out of town, they don’t have a good relationship with them, and they may not come back for the New Year. What he couldn’t let go of the most was his wife who was left alone, but he didn’t expect to listen to his teachings The students from all over the world found here one after another, and they were all willing to help him take care of his wife.

When the police asked for the old man's ID card, the old woman wiped her tears and said that she would go to the bedroom to get it. Zhong Ye saw the timing and told the old man,

"Now you can go in and find her, no more than three sentences. I'll wait for you here."

"I... just forget it."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "She knows that it's enough that I'm not angry with her. I'm afraid that once I speak, I will be reluctant to leave and make her cry again."

"you sure?"

Zhong Ye confirmed.

"Well, and seeing so many students miss her, I'm also relieved."

The old man wiped away his tears, turned his back to everything in the house and couldn't bear to look at it again, "I've been arguing all my life, and if I don't quarrel in the end, I'm not used to it. You're still young, and you still have a chance to clear up the misunderstanding, otherwise you'll just be like We are so... addicted to arguing, and there will always be regrets."

Knowing that he was talking about himself and Jiang Yuluo, Zhong Ye nodded lightly, "Thank you."

"I'm right to thank you for allowing me to leave without any worries."

The old man squeezed out a hazy and old smile, and stepped slowly out of the home where he had lived for decades.

Zhong Ye took him to find the nearest guide, and at the same time called Jiang Yuluo.

Jiang Yuluo, who fled to the park in the city and squatted in a daze beside the fountain, glanced at the incoming call alert, turned the phone to silent and threw it into his pocket.

There are many coins carrying wishes big and small in the wishing pool, reflecting a shimmering golden light, and reflecting the white doves resting on the sculpture in the center of the pool into light gold, and some pigeons flapped their wings and dropped a feather fluttering and smashing. In Jiang Yuluo's hands.

"Stupid Zhong Ye."

Jiang Yuluo stared at the feather in his hand and complained sullenly.

He likes Bell Night.

From the first time he saw Zhong Ye in Mo Haitang, this joy was planted in his heart, and it grew wildly with an unstoppable momentum. By the time he realized it, it had already spread into a lush forest. When Ye smiled at him, the forest in his heart would blow up and like to turn into greenery, making him restless.

At that time, Zhong Ye was not as silent and cold as he is now, and his facial features were not as deep and stern, and his whole body exuded a kind of cool and good-looking.

Jiang Yuluo took full advantage of the privileges that a son of the king of Hades should have, and found a way to sit with Zhong Ye in Mohai Hall. At that time, he didn't know anything, and all he could think about was staying with Zhong Ye.

On the day after the exam, all their Mohaitang classmates went out to celebrate together, and everyone was drunk, so he took the opportunity to stick to Zhong Ye. At that time, he still had long hair like everyone else. The young Jiang Yuluo would Her hair was pinched into a bunch, and she looked at Zhong Ye with a smile on her face:

"When we enter the underworld, we will wear official crowns to tie our hair. I always think that your hair is very beautiful. Can you teach me when the time comes? I want to wear the same hair as you."

At that time, in the future Jiang Yuluo envisioned, Zhong Ye would live up to everyone's expectations and become the first judge, and he relied on his connections to find a small official to dawdle, and it would be best to work under Zhong Ye.

"OK,"

The half-drunk Zhong Ye rubbed Jiang Yuluo's soft hair, "As long as you can get out of bed, come to my house every morning and I'll do it for you."

"Then let's make a deal..."

Jiang Yuluo smiled so brightly in his eyes that he almost couldn't help but want to tell Zhong Ye his joy directly, but he held back, he wanted to show his heart to Zhong Ye on the day when the judge's exam results were released, and at that time, take advantage of the happy event Even if Zhong Ye didn't mean it, he could still say it was a joke.

It just backfired.

He remembered that the night before the release of the list, there was a light rain in Hades, and the old King of Hades called him into the room. The rain hit the eaves and turned into a rotten ashes, spreading out a bleak future in front of his eyes.

After the first sentence on the gold list, Jiang Yuluo's name was followed. On that day, there was a lot of people in Yanwang's mansion, and there were noises of vassals coming to congratulate everywhere, but Jiang Yuluo ran to Mo Haitang alone.

After the exam, Mo Haitang will usher in a one-month rest. He stayed there all day alone, and cut off the hair that was stroked by Zhong Ye not long ago with his eyes blankly. over hair.

Fortunately, he didn't confess his love to Zhong Ye on the day after the exam.

At that time, Jiang Yuluo gave a wry smile, thinking wearily, otherwise he would really become a heinous sinner who played with people's hearts.

Another coin was thrown into the wishing pool, causing half-splashes of water, and the circle of ripples reflected in Jiang Yuluo's eyes. The memory was interrupted. He raised his eyes slightly, and saw the child throwing the coin on the other side of the pool clasped his hands together After making a wish, he ran away with eyes full of hope.

The water waves turned into mist in his eyes again, bringing him back to the night when he was drunk and ran to hide in Zhong Ye's arms.

That was the only day when he didn't restrain himself and showed his true feelings. Even if it was just a night of secrets, the price was painful for him.

Zhong Ye had asked him why he was crying.

He didn't answer, because if he said it, he would only be suspected by others, and no one would believe it—he didn't want to replace Zhong Ye, this verdict made him sleepless, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

He went to Chen Mo Hell that day, and there were still burning scars on his palms. He dragged his body exhausted and returned to the mansion, and asked Heisha if he could not attend the evening banquet. Without a doubt, Heisha beat him up. scolded.

He, Jiang Yuluo, seems to have infinite scenery, but he has never escaped from the shackles of Heisha. When he finally couldn't bear the torment and wanted to ask Zhong Ye for help, Heisha's face would appear in front of his eyes. Tell him cruelly, you can't escape, and you can't do anything except drag others into the water.

Jiang Yuluo took a deep breath, and trembled instinctively when he thought of Heisha. He could only look at the sunny reflection in the water and tell himself over and over again, it's okay, this is the world, and there are no Heisha's minions here.

"Master Xiao Jiang."

A hand was put on his shoulder from behind, Jiang Yuluo was startled suddenly, he didn't turn his head, but saw the person he least wanted to see from his reflection.

The coins piled up at the bottom of the water filled the outline of the human figure in the reflection, and Heisha could touch wherever there was a shadow.

"Long time no see, do you remember me?"

Heisha grinned, picked up Jiang Yuluo with all his strength, and pushed the fragile human body into a dark alley beside the street.
