Chapter 95 Dying
Mr. Xu's house.
Following the villagers, Lian Ge quietly stepped into the living room of Mr. Xu's house.
In the living room, there were quite a few people gathered at this moment, but no one spoke, and it remained unusually quiet.
A group of people were either sitting on the sofas on both sides, or pacing in the living room, looking at the bedroom next to the living room from time to time.
After glancing around in the living room, Lian Ge continued to step into the bedroom quietly, followed by the government officials of the underworld.
Then, the picture in the bedroom clearly appeared in front of my eyes.
Mr. Xu, who was still energetic before, has weakened again, leaning against the pillow, half lying on the bed, with his eyelids closed weakly.
"Old man, Xiaocheng and Xiaomei from the old Sun's family have come to see you."
The villagers who had just arrived stood beside the old man Xu's bed, and the nurse who had been taking care of the old man leaned into the old man's ear and said.
Hearing the sound, Mr. Xu's cloudy eyes moved, and he nodded towards the person beside the bed.
"Is it Xiao Cheng... How is your father?"
"Very good, all very good."
"Some time ago, I heard that you were arguing with your father..." Mr. Xu leaned on the pillow, turned his head reluctantly, and said a little weakly,
"If it's not a matter of principle, let your dad do more. Your dad is not young anymore, and it won't be easy for him in this life...Of course, if it's his kid who has feudal ideas, then I support you, just Say yes."
"I get it, old man, I get it..."
"That's good, that's good...Xiaomei, you're going to graduate this year...ahem..." Mr. Xu turned his head again, looked at the other person,
"Yes, old man, you have a really good memory."
"...Xiaomei, you have a high degree of education, you know a lot, and you are also a young man. I hope that you can give more advice to the village in the future... It is impossible for the village to stay like this. The society is changing, and the village... the village has to do it too. Then change..." Mr. Xu said with difficulty.
"Yes, sir, I will."
"That's good... well, I'm tired and want to rest, you guys go out." Mr. Xu became weaker, and every time he spoke, it seemed that he needed to use all his strength.
"Then... old man, we'll come in to see you later."
"well……"
……
When the villagers left the bedroom, the bedroom became quiet again.
Lian Ge, who had been standing by the side and watched quietly, then stepped forward and walked to the bedside of Mr. Xu.
Although affected by the spell, Mr. Xu subconsciously ignored the existence of Lian Ge, but when Lian Ge was standing in front of him, blocking his view, he still noticed Lian Ge,
At the same time, he also vaguely saw behind Lian Ge, a digital ghost in a black suit,
And beside him, the nurse who has been watching over him, is still unaware.
Glancing at Mr. Xu, Lian Ge didn't say anything, turned sideways, and motioned to the person in charge of the Southern Metropolis Region of the immigration department of the underworld behind him to communicate with Mr. Xu.
"Mr., you still have less than half an hour. If there is anything you need to explain, please explain it quickly." The person in charge of the Nandu area immediately understood, and stepped forward to say to Mr. Xu.
Hearing this, Mr. Xu came to his senses, and then turned his cloudy eyes to look at the nurse next to him.
The nurse who had been paying attention to the old man noticed the change, and moved to the old man Xu,
"Old man, what do you want to say?" Putting his ear to Old Man Xu's mouth, the nurse asked again,
"Help me...Xiao Chen, old..."
"Old man, you want me to call the village chief in, right?" the nurse asked quickly,
"Yes... Hurry up." The old man nodded reluctantly and said with difficulty.
"Okay, I'll call right away..."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the nurse quickly rushed out of the bedroom and into the living room.
On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the nurse who was going to call someone in the living room, then nodded to Mr. Xu, then took a few steps back to the side of the bedroom,
Soon, the nurse who went to call for someone brought a few people back to the bedroom,
One of the middle-aged people squatted down beside the bed, and the others also walked to the bed.
"Grandpa, do you have anything you want to tell me?" The middle-aged man squatted beside the bed and asked.
"Xiao Chen, it's less than..." Mr. Xu looked at the people in front of him, gasped, and spoke with difficulty, while stretching out his trembling hands towards them,
"Hey, old man, I'm here, we're all here," the rest of the middle-aged people also squatted down, held the old man's hand, and quickly responded,
"I'm running out of time..."
"Grandpa, don't say that, don't say that..." The eyes of the middle-aged man squatting beside the bed turned red instantly.
Hearing this, Mr. Xu shook his head with difficulty, and then continued:
"Some things, I still don't feel relieved... I want to tell you..."
"Old man, tell me, we are all listening." Holding the hand of old man Xu, the middle-aged man nodded in response.
"...Unity, you... and the village, we must be united." Mr. Xu rolled his cloudy eyes, looked at the few people squatting by the bed, and squeezed his successor's hand tightly with all his strength.
"We know, sir, that we must be united."
"And..." Mr. Xu turned his head, looked at the roof above his head and continued to speak with difficulty,
"It's not okay for the village to be like this now. There will be problems if you just point to one way to eat... You have to find a new way... Find a way, you must find a way..."
Mr. Xu said with great effort, word by word,
"We know, we know, old man, you can talk after you rest, and then continue talking after you rest." The eyes of the few people became more red, and they clasped the hand of old man Xu, suppressing the grief and replied.
"It's too late...there's no time."
Mr. Xu shook his head, then looked at his successor,
"My life is at an end. Next, the village... will be handed over to you..."
While talking, Mr. Xu's voice became weaker and weaker, and he gradually lost the last bit of strength holding his successor's hand.
"Old man! Old man..."
Immediately afterwards, mournful cries sounded in the bedroom.
Everyone in the living room rushed into the bedroom when they heard the sound.
For a moment, mournful cries and cries were mixed in the bedroom, making a noise.
……
At the edge of the bedroom, Lian Ge glanced at the increasing number of people in the room, and turned his gaze to Mr. Xu on the bed.
At this moment, the spells on Mr. Xu's body have lost their effect, and the soul that was forcibly imprisoned in his body is gradually leaving his body.
After a very short time,
Next to the body that was gradually losing temperature, the soul of Mr. Xu got up again.
Perhaps because of his great Yin virtue and great merit, after his new death, Mr. Xu's soul did not enter the period of confusion.
He stood by the bed, glanced at his own body, and at the crying people in the bedroom, sighed slightly, then turned around and walked towards Lian Ge.
"Reverend Lian..."
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge nodded, but didn't respond, and turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu immediately followed up knowingly.
……
A moment later, outside Mr. Xu's house.
Lian Ge stamped his feet again, turned around, and looked at Mr. Xu and several officials from the underworld who were following behind him.
"Mr. Xu, aren't you going to take another look?" Lian Ge glanced at the brightly lit home of Mr. Xu, then turned his head to look at Mr. Xu and said.
"No," Mr. Xu followed Lian Ge's gaze, shook his head, and looked away, "What needs to be explained has already been explained, and the future is up to them."
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Mr. Xu and nodded.
Chapter 96 Wishes and Good and Evil
evening,
The west slanting sunset is close to the horizon, the sky reflecting the sunset is gradually dimming, and the night is gradually falling.
Not far from Mr. Xu's house, in a relatively quiet area,
"Mr. Xu, these people are from the underworld, they will take you to the underworld."
Lian Ge looked at Mr. Xu and said simply.
"Thank you for keeping you waiting for so long." Mr. Xu looked at several government officials of the underworld and apologized, "Then we have to leave now?"
"You're being polite, sir." The person in charge of Nandu District smiled and nodded, but he didn't answer Mr. Xu's question, but looked at Lian Ge.
Lian Ge glanced at Mr. Xu, and instead of answering directly, asked instead,
"Old man, do you have any wishes in this life?"
"My wish is to hope that the village can live better and better, but this requires their own efforts... As for myself, I really have a wish, but it should be realized soon."
Mr. Xu responded, and then seemed to fall into memory,
"...In the early years, I served as a soldier and went to Silla. I was a soldier at the beginning, and then I became a squad leader. When I was a soldier, I had an old squad leader named Du Jiefang, who was also with him. Lian Zhenren is like you, a Sichuanese.
When I first went to the battlefield, my head was full of blindness. I forgot everything I learned, and I just followed the people around me, squatting in the trenches and shooting... As a result, the one on the opposite side I didn't respond to the shells coming. If the old squad leader hadn't pressed me, I wouldn't be alive now. "
Listening to Mr. Xu's words, Lian Ge didn't say much, and the rest of the local government officials naturally didn't say anything.
In the area, it became more and more quiet, only the voice of Mr. Xu echoed,
"My biggest wish is to see my old squad leader again, but it's a pity...he is good in everything, but his heart is too kind. Nothing happened during the blocking battle, and nothing happened during the counterattack...but he just entered After the city passed, Xin Shan harmed him...
Now, this wish should be realized soon, after all, I am going down soon. "
Mr. Xu smiled and said freely.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't answer, but turned his head to look at the officials of the underworld.
The person in charge of the Nandu area instantly understood, and took the initiative to say:
"Tianshi, before coming here, I have a general understanding of this old gentleman's situation. The soul he mentioned just now has not yet been reincarnated, but... his soul is not in the underworld."
Hearing this, Lian Ge was slightly puzzled, and signaled the local government official to continue talking.
"His soul still stays on the border of Huaguo." The person in charge of the Nandu area continued,
Hearing this, Lian Ge frowned slightly, but didn't say much, and continued to listen to the following from the person in charge of the Nandu area,
"Tianshi, you should know that a soul with strong obsession can break through the shackles of the muddled period in a very short period of time, and thus become a fish that slipped through the net and stay in the world.
Among the souls with strong obsessions, there is a more special situation, which is called the national soul.
Their obsession is a nation, a country, and at the same time their obsession is extremely pure, reaching the extreme, reaching the level of faith.
In this case, there is a high probability that they will follow the differences in their obsessions and stay in a certain area for a long time.
And out of respect for the "national soul", at the same time, the number of "national souls" is extremely rare, and will not have any impact on the world.
Therefore, according to the regulations of the Exit and Entry Administration Office of the Hell, the souls of the country are not taken back by force, but follow their own opinions to decide whether to bring them back to the Hell. "
Saying that, the person in charge of Nandu area of this prefecture paused, looked at Lian Ge and continued,
"However, if you request, Heavenly Master, we can forcefully take its soul back to the underworld according to your request."
Listening to the narration of the officials of the underworld, Lian Ge stared at the distant sky, paused for a moment,
After a long time, Lian Ge looked away, looked at the ghost messengers in front of him and shook his head,
"no need."
With that said, Lian Ge turned his gaze back to Mr. Xu,
Mr. Xu, who has been listening to the words of the person in charge of the Nandu area, smiled,
