After the shadow of the world of mortals left, Yang Chen and Ling Yuyao went on. The more they went on, the colder they felt.


    The sky in the distance gradually became dark, and the sky was filled with gray fog, which connected the heaven and the earth together, and could not distinguish the boundary.


    Later, the flowers on the other side of the road have disappeared. They came to a river.


    The name of the river is Nai River, which is also the Styx river.


    The river is as dark as night, without a trace of waves. It is really like a stagnant water.


    The bridge over the river is the Naihe bridge.


    The iron cables on the bridge are connected with each other, inlaid with white bones, and the boards at the bottom of the bridge are broken, and they are trembling at every step.


    Many of the figures went to the bridge from other places, and then walked gingerly across the bridge, toward the dark smoke ahead, and finally merged into the smoke.


    Between the bridge and the smoke, an old woman with a bright head stood alone on the edge of an earthen platform, with a pick in front of her and a tea bowl in her hand.


    On this side of the bridge, a huge stone stands on the bank.


    Looking at the stone and the old woman, Yang Chen suddenly laughed: "on the one hand, it is the Sansheng stone that makes you remember everything, and on the other hand, it is Mengpo soup that makes you forget everything, but I don''t know how people will choose."


    "You know, forgetting is a good thing."


    A voice drifted past them.


    When they looked back, a thin figure came from the flowers on the other side.


    This man is skinny and skinny, with sunken cheeks and deep sunken eyes. His eyes look miserable and vicissitudes. He looks like a starving ghost.


    "People suffer because they remember too much, so learning to forget is a good thing."


    The hungry ghost sighed: "I remember too much, and all I remember is some bad things."


    "It''s strange to say that people always forget happy things, and those painful things always remember deeply. Therefore, Mengpo soup is a life-saving antidote to the suffering people! "


    He is an ordinary farmer. Although his parents died early, fortunately his wife is gentle and virtuous. He gets up early every day to plow and weed, and she picks mulberry and weaves cloth. Although the days are poor, they are very warm.


    Who knows that the drought and locust plague happened that year. The crops within a thousand miles were not harvested. The bark of countless villages was stripped and the grass roots were dug up. The hungry people finally exchanged wives, children and even elderly parents to eat.


    He looked back, his eyes red at me, but his face was a sad and painful smile: "have you ever been hungry? Do you know what it''s like to be hungry? Do you know that when you are hungry and have no strength, you can only lie on the ground and wait to die. When you see a piece of wood, you want to grab it and nibble at it? "


    " my wife and I ate up the last grain of food in our family, and then dug up every grass root around us, but we were still hungry! "


    " my body was so swollen that I couldn''t walk. Although my wife was hungry and had no strength, she still held a cane basket with a wooden stick and wanted to go to the river to see if I could find some wild vegetables for me. She went out in the middle of the afternoon. I didn''t see her coming home in the evening, so I went to look for her. Before I got to the river, I could smell the aroma of cooking meat! "


    " you don''t know what it''s like to have the smell of boiled meat in your nose for a starving person struggling on the verge of death! "


    " the fragrance is like heaven! "


    Yang Chen and Ling Yuyao did not suffer from hunger, so they couldn''t understand the pain Tianpeng had suffered. However, listening to him speak slowly there, they seemed to feel the pain left by the suffering in his heart.


    Yang Chen and Yang Chen did not speak. They just sat quietly in front of him and listened to him. But he suddenly turned around, with a sad smile on his face, and looked at them strangely in his eyes. He said, "you must be very strange. In the year of famine, who would cook meat by the river, you must also want to know what kind of meat it is."


    He was smiling like this, the smile became more and more strange, and the corner of his lips began to twinkle with forest light.


    ”I followed the meat incense desperately, climbed to the river and saw a man sitting next to a broken iron pot eating, the pot is steaming hot, meat aroma is floating from the pot. Before I got to him, the man heard me coming. He picked up a knife on the ground and stood up and glared at me. The knife was still covered with blood. "


    " I kowtowed to him and asked him to give me some meat to eat. He told me to go away, and said that if I didn''t go, he would kill me and eat me. I suddenly realized what kind of meat he was eating, and then I found that there were clothes, skirts and cloth shoes scattered on the ground beside the pot, which were my wife''s! I struggled like crazy and rushed to him to fight with him, but I was so hungry that I didn''t have the strength. He kicked me to the side. He stood at me with a knife for a long time, but he didn''t kill me. He sighed and said that since it was your wife who cooked it, he should give you something to eat. Then he took a piece of meat from the pot and threw it in front of me "


    after finishing this paragraph, the evil ghost suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Chen with bloodshot eyes, and his expression in his eyes gradually became furious.


    "Do you think I did?"


    Did not wait for them to answer, the evil spirit suddenly crazy laugh up, then suddenly jump up, open arms toward Yang dust fly in the past.Yang Chen hits with one hand and hunts with the palm wind, and passes through his chest in an instant.


    The body of the evil ghost suddenly changes in the air. The chest penetrated by Yang Chen''s palm suddenly turns into a pair of hands. His upper body comes out from his waist. Then he grabs Yang Chen''s hand, jumps up and kicks Yang Chen''s abdomen.


    Yang Chen shook his arm, threw the devil to the ground, and then pinched the finger.


    The body of the evil ghost was instantly imprisoned by a spirit power, and could not move any more. Then the time quickly flowed back in this confined space.


    In a flash, his image became a child of several years old. Although there was still a trace of madness and resentment in his eyes, he looked much healthier.


    Yang Chen pinches the finger, then pinches the child''s neck and jumps to the side of the bridge.


    "Give him a bowl of soup."


    Meng Po smiles and reveals her toothless gums. Her shriveled mouth looks very strange.


    She scooped out a bowl of soup in a big jar in front of the pick from a tea bowl and gave it to the evil ghost who turned into a child.


    After drinking the soup, the pain and bitterness in the eyes gradually disappeared and became full of confusion.


    He turned to look at Yang Chen, his face full of joy and envy: "are you a fairy?"


    Yang dust shook his head: "why do you ask so?"


    The child laughed, "because I''m happy to see you."


    Meng po said with a smile, "that''s because you are drunk."


    With that, she grabbed the child''s back and put a foot on his buttocks.


    With a whoosh, the child was kicked into the fog by her.


    Yang Chen saluted Mrs. Meng and asked with a smile, "I want to ask you if you have seen a girl who likes to wear red clothes a long time ago."


    "There are many girls who like to wear red clothes. How can I know which one you are talking about?"


    "She is different from others because she not only likes to wear red clothes, but also has nine tails behind her."
