Chapter 1955 The Path of Hungry Ghosts

After the afterimage of Hong Chen left, Yang Chen and Ling Yuyao continued to walk forward. The further they walked, the colder they felt.

The sky in the distance gradually becomes dark, and a gray mist fills the sky and the earth, connecting the sky and the earth into one, making it impossible to distinguish the boundaries.

Later, the flowers on the roadside had disappeared, and the two came to a river.

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

The river was as dark as night, with no waves visible, and it was truly like a stagnant water.

The bridge over the river is the Naihe Bridge.

The iron cables on the bridge are connected horizontally and are inlaid with numerous bones. The wooden boards at the bottom of the bridge are broken, and every step is trembling with fear.

Many figures walked to the bridge from elsewhere, and then walked across the bridge tremblingly, walking towards the depths of the gray smoke ahead, and finally blended into the smoke.

Between the bridge and the smoke, an old woman with a bright head stood alone on the edge of an earth 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 shore.

Yang Chen looked at the stone and the old woman and suddenly laughed: "On one side is the Sansheng Stone that makes you remember everything, and on the other side is the Meng Po Tang that makes you forget everything. But I don't know what people will choose."

"You know, forgetting is a good thing."

A voice floated faintly from behind them.

They looked back and saw a skinny figure walking through the flowers of Bianhua.

This man was skinny and skinny, his cheeks were sunken close to his teeth, and his eye sockets were sunken. His eyes looked painful and vicissitudes of life, and he looked clearly like a hungry ghost.

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

The hungry ghost sighed: "It's just because I remember too much, and all I remember are bad things."

"Strange to say, people always forget happy things easily, and painful things are always remembered deeply. Therefore, Mengpo soup is a life-saving antidote for painful people!"

He is an ordinary farmer. Although his parents died young, fortunately his wife is gentle and virtuous. He gets up early every day to plow the fields and weed, while she picks mulberries and weaves. Although his life is poor, it is very warm.

Unexpectedly, there was a severe drought that year and there was a locust plague. Crops within thousands of miles were harvested. The bark of trees in countless villages was peeled off and the roots of grass were dug up. The hungry people ended up exchanging wives, children, and even elderly parents with each other to eat.

He turned around and looked at me with blood-red eyes, but with a sad and sad smile on his face: "Have you ever been hungry? Do you know what it feels like to be hungry? You know when you are so hungry that you have no strength and can only lie on the ground. Waiting to die, do you feel like you want to grab a piece of wood and take a few bites of it? "

"My wife and I ate every last grain of food in the house, and then dug up every grass root we could find around us, but we are still hungry!"

"My body was so swollen from hunger that I couldn't walk. Although my wife was also too hungry and had no strength, she still held on to a wooden stick and a rattan basket and wanted to go to the river to see if she could find some wild vegetables for me to eat. She went out at about noon. , I waited until evening and still didn’t see her come home, so I pushed myself hard to find her. Before I even reached the river, I smelled an aroma, the aroma of cooking meat! "

"You must not know what it feels like for a hungry person struggling on the verge of death to have the aroma of cooking meat enter his nose. You must not be able to understand it!"

"The smell is like heaven!"

Yang Chen and Ling Yuyao had never suffered from hunger, so they could not understand the pain Tianpeng had suffered, but when they listened to him slowly describing it, they seemed to feel the pain left by the suffering in his heart.

Yang Chen and the two didn't speak. They just sat quietly in front of him and listened to what he said. But he suddenly turned around, with a sad smile on his face, looking at them with strange eyes, and said, "You must be very strange. , who would cook meat by the river in the great famine, and you must also want to know what kind of meat it is."

He just smiled like this, his smile getting weirder and weirder, and the corners of his lips began to sparkle again.

"I crawled desperately following the smell of meat. When I climbed to the river, I saw a man sitting next to a broken iron pot and eating. The pot was steaming. The smell of meat was coming from the pot. I hadn't yet When I crawled next to him, the man heard me coming, picked up a knife from the ground, stood up and glared at me fiercely. The knife was still covered in blood. "

"I kowtowed to him and begged him to give me some meat to eat. He told me to get out, and said that if I didn't leave, he would kill me and eat me too. I suddenly realized what kind of meat he was eating, and then I discovered that the pot There were scattered dresses and cloth shoes on the ground beside him, and they belonged to my wife! I struggled like crazy and threw myself at him, trying to fight him, but I was so hungry that I had no strength at all, and he kicked me. Kicked aside. He stood facing me for a long time holding the knife, but did not kill me. Instead, he sighed and said since it was your wife who was cooking, I should give you something to eat. After that, he took out a piece of meat from the pot. Come and throw it in front of me..."

After the evil ghost finished speaking this long paragraph, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Chen with bloodshot eyes, and the expression in his eyes gradually became filled with grief and anger.

"Do you think I've eaten it?"

Before they could answer, the evil ghost suddenly laughed crazily, then suddenly jumped up and flew towards Yang Chen with open arms.

Yang Chen struck out with a palm, and the wind shot through his chest instantly.

The evil ghost's body suddenly changed in the air. The chest penetrated by Yang Chen's palm suddenly turned into a pair of hands, and his upper body emerged from his waist. Then he grabbed Yang Chen's hand and jumped up and kicked Yang Chen in the abdomen.

Yang Chen flicked his arm, throwing the evil ghost to the ground, and then picked it up to point out.

The evil ghost's body was instantly imprisoned by a spiritual force, unable to move anymore, and then time quickly flowed backwards in this imprisoned space.

In an instant, his image changed into that of a child of several years old. Although his eyes still held a hint of madness and malice, his body looked much healthier.

Yang Chen pinched his thumb, then grabbed the child's neck and jumped to Po Meng's side on the other side of the bridge.

"Give him a bowl of soup."

Po Meng smiled slightly, revealing her toothless gums, and her shriveled mouth looked very strange.

She used a tea bowl to scoop out a bowl of soup from a large vat in front of the basket, and gave it to the evil spirit who had turned into a child to drink.

After the child drank the soup, the pain and resentment in his 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 god?"

Yang Chen shook his head: "Why do you ask that?"

The child laughed: "Because I am very happy when I see you."

Po Meng laughed and said, "That's because you are drunk."

After saying that, she grabbed the child's back and kicked him on the butt.

With a "swish" sound, the child was kicked into the thick fog by her.

Yang Chen saluted Po Meng, smiled and asked, "I would like to ask you, have you ever seen a girl who liked to wear red clothes a long time ago?"

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

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