Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: The thirty-fifth bowl of soup (five & six)
Until someone gasped.
Tan Rui subconsciously turned his head to look, who was not Yan Lan standing by the door? From the look on her face, she clearly heard what he said before. Yan Lan had tears in her eyes at the moment: "Is everything you said true? Which one have you lost, and which one is your true love? Is that so?"
"No! I, I—"
"It's my fault, we were wrong from the beginning." Yan Lan shook her head, and crystal clear tears fell. "I shouldn't have left you because of my family's objections, and you shouldn't have married Tong Man while you still love me. I shouldn't even regret going back to China to be a third party in your marriage, and Tong Man... ... Tong Man is the most innocent. Her parents secretly sold her for money. She thought her husband cheated on her. I appeared in front of her hypocritically. On the surface, I was your old friend, but in fact, I was with you... ...even choosing suicide to change your mind because of that ridiculous jealousy."
"How can you be happy if it's not an upright love? You see, now you're starting to regret it. And I...I wasn't surprised when I heard you say that."
Tong Man looked at the two of them affectionately with no expression, only feeling tired. Tan Rui felt that he was about to lose Yan Lan, and was about to explain, but was suddenly swept aside. Together with Yan Lan, they both fell heavily to the ground, making a way through the door.
A very beautiful girl appeared at the door. She looked at Tong Man, smiled slightly, and said, "I finally found you."
Tong Man looked at her inexplicably: "Who are you...?"
"Hello, my name is Qing Huan." The beautiful girl walked in and said to her, "I didn't wait for you at a certain location, so I came to find you."
"Looking for me?" Tong Man didn't understand. "What do you want me to do? We don't know each other."
"We will get to know each other." Qing Huan tilted her head and smiled at Tong Man. "You really don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
Qing Huan carefully looked at Tong Man's expression and determined that she was not lying. "Have you ever looked in the mirror?"
“…what?”
"Mirror." Qing Huan repeated softly. "Look at what you look like now."
Tong Man stood up according to her words, found a small mirror on the wall of the living room, and carefully looked at her reflected self. Her eyes are a little dull, she has lived alone for a long time, and she hasn't looked in the mirror for a long time. Every morning I wake up in a daze, I just want to wear more clothes to keep warm, and I don't care whether I look shiny or sloppy.
At this time, Tan Rui got up from the ground. He fell harder, but Yan Lan was lighter. After he got up, he helped Yan Lan up and stared at Qing Huan like hell: "Who are you?! "
Qing Huan glanced at him, didn't answer, and continued to ask Tong Man softly: "Did you see it? What do you look like in the mirror?"
What does it look like? Naturally, he was pale and pale, his complexion turned blue, as if the whole person no longer belonged to this world. Tong Man was a little lost. She felt as if she had forgotten something, but...forgot what? She couldn't remember that. "What's wrong with me?"
"It's time." Qing Huan told her. "You should go with me, or staying here will only hurt you."
"Go? Where are you going? Why did she want to go with you?!" Tan Rui was excited when he heard this, and stepped forward to question him. Qing Huan glanced at him impatiently and said, "I didn't talk to you."
The next second, Tan Rui found that his mouth was wide open, but he seemed to have lost his voice.
"Go?" Tong Man himself didn't know. "Why...what...what..."
"Have you not noticed yet?" Qing Huan looked at her with pity. "You are already dead."
As soon as this sentence came out, the three people in the living room showed disbelief expressions, especially Tong Man himself: "I'm dead? How can I—"
"You're dead. It's been two years." Qing Huan's gentle hand touched Tong Man's cold cheek. Tong Man couldn't help but fall in love with the temperature, but when he was touched, the coldness in his heart began to gradually dissipate. Qing Huan's voice was merciful and soft, and her tone was also very light. She seemed to regard Tong Man as a sensitive child, for fear of scaring her so cautiously. "The reason you feel cold is because your body is hidden in the freezer, and because of that, it doesn't matter how many clothes you wear, how many men you hug, and you can't feel warm. You're dead."
"No—you're mistaken, I'm not dead! I'm still alive! How could I, how could I die?!" Tong Man couldn't accept it at all. She snapped open Qing Huan's hand and refused Qing Huan's approach.
Qing Huan was not angry, and still looked at her tenderly: "You refuse to accept the fact, but the truth is that you are indeed dead and will never come back to life. That's why, you will return to This place, go see your parents and ask them to accept you and accommodate you." Qing Huan pointed to Tan Rui again. "You loved him before you were alive, and this love made you unable to extricate yourself, so you have to come back after death and look at him, you can't refuse him, this is not your original intention, it is your consciousness during your lifetime that you refuse to leave. "
Tong Man covered her head and said repeatedly: "Impossible, impossible, impossible - you must be mistaken! I-I'm not dead! I'm alive!"
"Really? Are you alive?" Qing Huan asked her back. "Then why can't you fall asleep when you close your eyes countless times, why can't you chew the food you eat in your mouth, and why even the sound of your heartbeat and breathing is so fake? Have you never doubted this yourself? You're dead, When a person dies, he dies, and the dead cannot remain in this world.”
"No!" Tong Man didn't believe it. "It's not like that! You're lying to me! You're lying! I'm not dead, I'm not dead!"
"Remember that night?" Qing Huan's voice was as soft as the evening wind. "In the dark, you were left in an unknown street, you who lost your way, you who had no power on your mobile phone, and you who could only walk aimlessly, remember?"
Remember?
This question echoed in Tong Man's mind like a gentle whisper. She had a splitting headache, squatted on the ground and kept beating herself, she kept shouting no no no, she went in the wrong direction and ran into the criminals The deal, and then, she suffered the most cruel thing in the world, her eyes were looking at the sky, it was dark that night, but it was strange that when she was looking at the sky, there was a bright red moon there.
It was her blood that soaked the land, and the land began to bloom with coquettish flowers. It was dark, damp, and painful. She lay there, her consciousness detached from her body.
After extreme love comes extreme hate.
But Tong Man doesn't know who he hates. When she first came back, she bought a newspaper from a newsstand and sneered at the news that a drug dealer was caught in a high-end bar above, but she usually didn't read it at all. Later, she started subscribing to newspapers frantically, only reading the headlines on the social page, and saw one dead person after another. Before that, she met a man who was dismembered in the park. That man's eyes at that time...what was it like?
Looking back now, it's full of fear and disbelief.
Why?
Maybe, seeing the dead come back to life?
Tong Man raised his head and asked Qing Huan: "What did I do wrong?"
Qing Huan said: "You are very good. You live a very hard life, even though you were born in a patriarchal family and suffered a lot of injustice, you have always worked hard. You are helpful, sunny and cheerful, and you are among the best. You are very good, really good.”
"Then why did it end up like this?" If she was really good, why did God punish her? To make her face such a fate?
"I can only say that things are impermanent." Qing Huan spread his hands. It is basically meaningless to ask this question. The way of heaven is the most fair. If you have suffered, there will naturally be countless joys waiting for you. If you are evil, you will naturally be punished. It’s just a matter of time.
She stretched out her hand to help Tong Man up and let her sit on the sofa before continuing to persuade her: "The body dies, but the human soul does not die. You know why you are getting colder and more painful. Is it? Because this world does not allow the existence of a soul body, so you should go where you should go instead of staying here. After a while, your soul will also be consumed and die. If you don't die, it will only change. You're a savage ghost. So you have to follow me, this is your destination."
"Why... should I stay?"
Tong Man asked curiously.
"Because your obsession is too deep, you don't recognize the reality clearly, and you still have delusions after death. Those who don't love you don't love you, and those who don't love you don't love you enough. Your parents , your husband, they are all. There are beautiful, kind parents in the world who are willing to give everything for their children, and at the same time there are parents who cannot love their children, they are selfish, there is no reason, there is no reason. " Qing Huan touched her. s head. "But you refused to let go, so you were hindered in your footsteps. And your husband, how did you feel when you were kicked out of the car that night? The deep despair and pain made you feel like you didn't even die. Can't swallow this resentment. That's why you're here to stay."
Tan Rui seems to have heard the Arabian Nights: "You, what are you talking about—"
"It was that night two years ago. I think you should remember very clearly that Miss Yan Lan who was beside you cut her wrists to commit suicide. After you learned the news, you were too impatient to tell Tong Man, so she edited For a reason that the company is in a hurry, she dropped her off the car and asked her to take a taxi home." Qing Huan took the initiative to explain to him. "But unfortunately she ran into the drug dealer scene, got caught, and—" She spread her hands. "You should know, late at night, a young and beautiful woman, and a group of criminals with no conscience, what will happen to them, you want."
"Tong Man was gang-raped to death, and her body was hidden in the freezer of their warehouse, so she always felt cold, even if the air conditioner was turned on at the highest temperature." Qing Huan's mouth was slightly raised, but she didn't What a smile. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Whose fault is it? Is it Tong Man's own?" Qing Huan asked.
Tan Rui and Yan Lan looked at Tong Man in a daze, but Tong Man himself didn't realize it. That night, Yan Lan wanted to threaten Tan Rui by hurting himself, but Tan Rui decided to let go of everything and separated from Tong Man to pursue the love again. They were very happy that night. They hugged and kissed happily and made a vow eachother. .
But on the same night, Tong Man lay on the concrete floor of the warehouse, blood dripped on the ground, and died with his eyes open.
"Not all mistakes can be forgiven." Qing Huan looked at Tong Man, Tong Man's eyes were erratic, as if thinking about something. She bent over and asked Tong Man, "So, are you willing to go with me?"
"Where?"
"Go to a better place." Qing Huan said sincerely. "Your next life will be good, and Heaven will compensate you."
Just when Tong Man was thinking seriously, Qing Huan was suddenly hit hard by a sudden attack and fell to the ground instantly. She quickly stood up, dabbing the corner of her mouth with her index finger, and her fingertips were covered with blood. She found this body from the hospital. The soul of the girl who just died has left, but as a human body, her body is very fragile.
When she looked up, Tong Man was already in his arms by a man in a black robe. Qing Huan stepped forward and stretched out her hand: "Give her back to me."
"Give it back to you? What are you? Death?" The man smiled contemptuously. "It's just a soul-stirring scumbag. This woman made a deal with me, and I've fulfilled her wish, so she's already mine."
Qing Huan looked at Tong Man: "She made a deal with you? What deal?"
"Of course..." The man gently sniffed Tongman's neck, showing a fascinated expression. "The deal of selling the soul, what a sweet soul, what kind of contract do you think humans can sign with the devil? I fulfill her wish for her, and she pays her own soul for a fair deal."
Tong Man showed a bewildered look: "Trade..."
"Yes, or who do you think gave your house? Who put the keys and notes in your wallet? Who killed those people for you?" whispered the devil, bewitching Tongman. "Now, you should go with me."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, only to find that Tong Man's soul was motionless. The devil said in surprise: "What's going on?"
"Probably I don't want her to go." Qing Huan raised her eyebrows, "I have long admired the name."
"What are you?" The devil looked at Qing Huan. "Aren't you the **** of death?"
Qing Huan pondered, "I should be a little bit stronger than the God of Death." She also pinched her index finger and thumb, indicating that she was really only "a little bit stronger".
The devil immediately changed his attitude. He let go of Tong Man and said to Qing Huan, "That's good, leave the choice to her and see who she wants to go with." After speaking, he asked in a soft voice: "Tong Man, tell the girl opposite you to keep your word, right? You made a deal with me, you belong to me, so you have to follow me and let her loose her **** to you."
Tong Man finally remembered that at that time, her consciousness left her body, and when she heard someone talking to her, her heart was occupied by hatred and despair, so she nodded and said yes.
At that time, she was making a deal with the devil? !
At the expense of your own soul? !
Qing Huan said: "Tong Man, think about it clearly, if you follow him, you will never be human again."
"What's so good about being a human being? Pain, sadness, betrayal, despair, discrimination... it's all the same, but it's much better if you're a devil." The devil's voice was very nice, and Tong Man's eyes were blurred a bit. "Think about it, you don't have to be bound by any constraints, you can release the darkness in your heart to your heart's content, and you can kill anyone who hurts you. Is there anything better than this? Don't think that **** is terrible, in fact, **** is the only It's heaven."
Tong Man seemed to be persuaded, she asked Qing Huan: "Are you the **** of death?"
"If you insist on saying that, it's fine." Qing Huan nodded. "As long as there is life, I will not die. It is indeed one of my jobs to take your soul, but Tong Man, you have the right to choose, you don't have to go with me. But I want to make sure you know that from From time immemorial to the present, those who make deals with the devil have never ended well."
"You're dead, so what's the worst?" exclaimed the devil. "Do you think those great people just came out of nowhere? Without us, who could remember their names!"
Qing Huan continued: "It is your choice whether you choose to forget this life and welcome a new beginning, or fall into hell."
Tong Man shook her head: "I don't know..." She looked at Qinghuan and the devil, and could see that she was shaken, "I have signed a contract with the devil, I, I..." /
"If you choose to go with me, I will solve the contract problem." Qing Huan took a step forward and extended her hand to Tong Man. "It's time to leave this world. No matter how many regrets and obsessions you still have, it's time to let go."
Tong Man's foot was just moved when the devil grabbed it. At this moment, he showed his fierceness: "If you make a deal with me, you can't go back!"
Qing cheerfully stepped forward and held Tong Man's wrist, the cold and biting pain subsided, and the warmth and softness filled Tong Man's soul. Her pale complexion changed, and Wu Qing's face began to turn rosy again, as if, as if it was what she looked like before her death!
In the blink of an eye, the devil lost his soul. He was so angry that he stared at Qinghuan: "You can't take my soul!"
"Sorry, she is special and can't give it to you." Qing Huan said sorry without sincerity. "If I were you, I would choose to leave."
The devil glared at Tong Man angrily: "I have done so much for you! I let those criminals go to jail, and I killed all those who escaped! Damn, I have done everything you want for you! How dare you deceive me!"
"I don't even know that being a devil also hates betrayal." Qing Huan pretended to be surprised. "Aren't you the aggregate of betrayals?" After she finished speaking, she smiled, and Tong Man, who had returned to normal, also smiled slightly. Qing Huan's smile disappeared quickly, she waved her hand, and the devil was pulled from the ground like a radish, slammed onto the wall and fell again, his head was bleeding, Qing Huan said: "Forgot to say, I am I'm very vengeful." She didn't forget the memory that she accidentally ate just now.
The devil clenched his fists, still standing still.
Seeing that Qinghuan was about to leave with Tong Man, Tan Rui involuntarily shouted: "Manman..."
Qing Huan stopped and asked Tong Man, "Do you want to talk to him again?"
A few seconds later, Tong Man slowly approached Tan Rui, whispered in his ear, "I kept crying after I got out of the car that night. I cried for a long, long time."
Then blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes: "I shed my last tear for you, and I won't cry anymore."
After that, she never appeared in front of him again.
It was his sin, it was his sin, it was everything he could never forget.
The devil rolled his eyes, stepped forward and asked: "Tongman owes my soul, you can pay for her, are you willing? Otherwise, even if she has a next life, I will still find her and give it to me. regained his soul.”
Tan Rui nodded.
The devil left with satisfaction. Although this soul can't be compared with Tong Man's, it's not too bad after all.
He reappeared at Tong's house. Tong Man's younger brother had been taken away for murder, so it is unlikely that he would come up with it before the age of seventy. As for Tong’s parents and Tong’s mother, even if they go bankrupt, they can’t afford that astronomical sum. They tried to ask Tan Rui for help, and then Tan Rui, whose soul was taken away, was just a walking dead.
Yan Lan has gone abroad again, and this time she has no plans to come back. She and Tan Rui have both carried the debt, and they can't pay it back. Every late night in the future, whenever she feels happy, she will remember that a woman died in the dark night.
Starting with the prisoners, the police found their secret underground warehouse. In addition to the goods in the freezer, there was a tragic and naked female corpse. So according to this, they added another charge of intentional homicide, and the criminals were sentenced to death because of the bad circumstances.
Tong Man walked across the Naihe Bridge and never stopped. After drinking Meng Po soup, she forgot all the memories of her previous life. Love does not remember, hate does not remember, regret and betrayal do not remember, clean, like a newborn baby, ready to welcome his next life.
Qing Huan sits on the swing in Meng Po Village, where birds and flowers are fragrant and the sun is shining, but she is still thinking back to the previous world.
The time of Naihe Bridge is different from that of the world and Wangchuan River, and it is not completely fixed, so she came back a little late. As soon as I came back, I heard that the ghost that was supposed to appear has not appeared for a long time. When Xie Bi'an went to seduce the soul, he couldn't find the ghost of the other party. Qing Huan went to find it himself, and it was only now that he relaxed.
South Cream.
She knows that Nan Shuang is not that person. In these worlds, she has never fallen in love with anyone, but she can sense their souls. Qing Huan looked at her left hand, she was supposed to come back soon, but was forced to promise to accompany Nan Shuang until her death. Nan Shuang bit her before she died, and then dug out her heavy pupil and placed it in Qing Huan's palm, so that she would never forget him.
Until now, Qing Huan felt that the pair of double pupils were still staring at her.
Of course she didn't fall in love with Nanshuang, she just—
Just what?
Perhaps, it is the feeling of desolation once again.
