Orochi Longevity

Chapter 76 My Heart's Wish

The fist-sized meat ball is jumping with joy, and there is a mouth on it, making a request:

"Peng Er, please help me tell You Niang that there are two taels of silver in the jar under the crabapple tree!"

He has no resentment or delusion, all his obsessions are just a sentence that he couldn't utter in time.

These two taels of silver were saved by him during his lifetime.

Peng Lai lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried again. He was left alone since he was a child, and he was always hungry. With today, he can't see tomorrow.

For a long time, he has developed a temperament of eating all he can for a meal and indulging in pleasure. Even if he occasionally does a helper and earns a small sum, he will always spend it quickly and have no money left to save.

After marrying You Niang, he still couldn't get rid of his big spendthrift, and even quarreled with You Niang several times because of this matter.

In Peng Lai's view, those rich and noble families did not accumulate their wealth by searching and searching. He believes that if ordinary people like them want to stand up, they can only do things that ordinary people dare not do.

Therefore, he often took You Niang around to fiddle with various small businesses. It's a pity that they suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did they fail to turn around, but they owed money.

During that time, Peng Lai and You Niang had many quarrels, and You Niang persuaded him to calm down. She no longer desires to be rich, but only wants to live a peaceful and stable life with her family. She advised Peng Lai to stop fooling around with those cronies and spending money like water, and to know how to increase income and reduce expenditure, and plan for the future.

Peng Lai listened to these words, but it was difficult to change his nature for a while.

It wasn't until more than a year ago that You Niang suddenly fell ill and went to a doctor in another village to see her, only to find out that she was suffering from overwork. Although not so serious, but also need a long rest.

As the saying goes, when the money is used, there is little hatred. It was not until the face of You Niang's illness that Peng Lai suddenly felt the fear of losing.

He spent the first half of his life in a daze, hanging out with many cronies, bragging and joking every day, but every time he came home alone, he felt extremely empty in his heart.

Sometimes, Peng Lai would not be able to sleep for the whole night, staring at the full moon in the sky, he was very confused, he didn't know where he was going.

What scares him even more is that he has no expectations for the future.

until……

Until then, he was scolded by a group of people for several days because he accidentally knocked over the oil pot of an old man in the village, and he really went to the city to buy a pot of oil to silence those people.

While feeling restless, I suddenly saw a bright color come into view.

It was a crabapple flower.

Later, Peng Lai realized that God treated him well.

After marrying You Niang, the void in her heart was filled invisible.

In the past, he always longed to turn himself around, to impress those who looked down on him, and to be a great person.

But now he is willing to accept his fate, and he is willing to count the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea with You Niang.

So, he began to restrain himself and began to change himself.

In the past, when those wine and meat friends asked him to go out, he always shied away. He started to get up early and work late, and started to search and save money.

He secretly hid a small pot, buried it under the crabapple tree, searched it from the daily food and clothing expenses, and saved it bit by bit.

You Niang said that she likes Haitang.

She wanted a bigger yard, and she wanted to plant a whole yard full of begonias. When the begonias bloomed, they went to the yard to watch the begonias fall.

Therefore, he wants to save a big yard, and the yard is full of crabapple trees.

It's a pity...it's a pity...

His fate was so short.

On that day, he went to the city to help others finish the work. The employer praised him for his hard work and gave him a few extra rewards.

Later, he happened to meet his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and that brother somehow got rich, clamoring to buy him a drink.

He originally wanted to go back to see his wife and daughter earlier, but the man said he could find a way for him and lead him to make a fortune together... He was in a good mood that day, but after being persuaded like this, he thought his luck was coming...

Later, when he was drunk, he walked home at night, slipped his feet, and plunged into the pool.

Peng Lai didn't want to die.

He struggled in the water for a long time, his unwillingness and persistence almost solidified.

However, everything is in vain.

Before he died, there was only one thought left in his mind... his two taels of silver... the money he had worked so hard to save... the money he left for You Niang...

If his fate is like this, can you give him another breath and let him hand over the money to You Niang?

The obsession turned Peng Lai into a lonely soul. He hid in Tibet, unwilling to step into the cycle of reincarnation.

He tried his best to find You Niang, and wanted to tell her about the two taels of silver, but he found that he could no longer interfere with mortal affairs.

No one can hear him, no one can see him.

He could only watch helplessly as You Niang and Sister Bao were kicked out of the original house and lived in a thatched cottage, lonely and destitute.

You Niang's old illness has relapsed, and her life is getting worse day by day.

He wandered around Peng Village and stayed there for a long time.

Later, he saw a big fox come to Peng Village with a soul. He was surprised and called Peng Er's name. Unexpectedly, Peng Er couldn't avoid him, showing a flustered look, and quickly ran away.

He immediately knew that Peng Er could hear him, so after Peng Er came back to life, he called Peng Er's name every night, asking him to help him with a message.

But his strength is weak, if the host doesn't take the initiative to open the door, he can't enter other people's house. If the master doesn't respond, he can't listen to his words.

Peng Er never responded to him, which made him become more and more obsessed. He began to become crazy and distorted, and his strength also became stronger.

He often loses his mind and cannot think normally, leaving only obsession in his mind.

That strong obsession made him press Peng Er step by step, and he was able to try to break through the blockade of the master's courtyard door, and he could simply interfere with mortal things.

If it wasn't for the girl's sudden appearance, he might have fulfilled his obsession in some distorted form.

This afternoon, Peng Lai was supposed to hide from the sun in the pool, but he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear, and then he smelled the aroma of incense and yellow paper.

This force dispelled Peng Lai's madness and restored him to a moment of calm.

Peng Lai felt that his own strength seemed to be stronger than before, which was enough for him to enter Peng's second residence and make a request.

He couldn't hear what the whispering words were talking about. He only knew that Mrs. Peng's house seemed to have an expert, and it was very dangerous there.

While the sun was setting, Peng Lai first found You Niang and Bao Jie, and wanted to tell them his feelings. But in the end, he found sadly that the two of them still couldn't detect his existence. Seeing You Niang's sick face and not wearing makeup, he felt extremely sad for a moment.

So he tried various methods and spent a lot of time finally picking a crabapple flower and placing it in the corner of the small table.

Then, he turned around and floated towards Mrs. Peng's house.

He didn't back down, he wasn't afraid.

He knows that he has a wish that must be fulfilled.

Even if this wish is so insignificant, he must do his best to achieve it.
