This is Naihe Bridge!
When they reached the Naihe Bridge, Manzhu Shahua became restless. She said excitedly, "Look, look! Under that bridge is the Wangchuan River. Is he there?"
I smiled and said, "I think so. Don't get excited yet. I'll go look for it later."
"Okay!" Manjusha agreed readily.
At this moment, my grandmother patted my shoulder and said she wanted to get down and walk on her own, so I put her down. She walked onto the Naihe Bridge and looked towards the end. In the distance, she saw a familiar, hunched figure. She exclaimed with joy, "Your grandfather is right up there, talking to an old woman! Great! This damn old man is still so romantic even after his death! I'm going to give him a good beating!" With that, she rolled up her sleeves and stormed off to the Naihe Bridge.
I was sweating. Why are all women so fierce?
Su Xiaoniu said angrily, "What do you mean?"
"I didn't say you..."
"You mean me? Do I have to follow your grandmother's example and beat you up?"
"Ah! Look, that's Meng Po!" I quickly changed the subject and ran up to her.
Under the Naihe Bridge is the Wangchuan River, and on the bridge stands the Mengpo Pavilion, under which stands a Mengpo figure. Next to Mengpo is the Wangxiang Terrace. When walking across the Naihe Bridge, the order should be to first take a last look at your hometown and loved ones at Wangxiang Terrace, say goodbye, and then drink Mengpo Soup before crossing the bridge.
I watched my grandmother run to the pavilion in the middle of the bridge, kick an old man, and then talk incoherently. But soon, the two of them hugged each other. As I watched, tears unconsciously appeared in the corners of my eyes.
What greater joy could there be in the world than being reunited on the road to the underworld? Many couples are separated by the Yin and Yang. You've gone down, and I haven't left yet. When I go down to find you, you're gone. The furthest distance in the world isn't when I love you and you don't, but when I come down to find you and you've already left.
Perhaps moved by this scene, Su Xiaoniu said with a somewhat sad tone: "If one day I am about to leave this world, I hope that my final resting place is in your arms. Even if I drink the bowl of Mengpo soup by the Naihe Bridge that makes me forget my past life, in the next life, I will still be able to find you with the memory of you in my arms..."
I was stunned for a long time, and finally blurted out a sentence: "Love what I love, no regrets!"
Su Xiaoniu cried.
But I didn't know what to say. Suddenly, I felt that this road was so difficult to walk on, so difficult... so difficult...
It wasn't until I dragged my heavy feet to Mengpo Pavilion and heard the voices of grandma and grandpa that I realized what was happening. Grandpa hugged me and said to me, "Fei Fei, I didn't expect that I would see you one last time before I reincarnate. I have no regrets. Now that I'm gone, I don't know if we will meet again in the next life. You must live well!"
I nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I still have a long life ahead of me. Also, I believe that in the next life, you and grandma will definitely meet again. I wish you all the best!"
"Good grandson, you speak so sweetly!" Grandma couldn't stop smiling.
"Alright, alright, have you finished talking after all this dithering? If the time for reincarnation has passed, your soul will be scattered. Hurry up and drink the soup and leave," Meng Po said impatiently. She had seen countless souls going to reincarnation on this bridge, but she had never seen anyone from the mortal world come to the underworld to see off their loved ones, right?
Because I could see the surprise in Meng Po's eyes. She had already seen me coming, but she just didn't say anything.
Grandpa and grandma held the bowl of colorless soup like pure water. They looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, they smiled and drank the Meng Po soup in one gulp.
I don't want to know what Meng Po soup tastes like. I just want to know: after drinking it, did Grandpa and Grandma immediately forget each other? Did they forget everything about their lives? Did they forget me too?
I quickly went over and grabbed grandpa and grandma's hands and asked, "Grandpa, grandma, how do you feel?"
