I led my son and daughter, worked hard and diligently, and relied on my fourth brother and his wife, two big trees, to live a peaceful and stable life in this fantasy world.
I raised two children to adulthood and watched them get married and have children, so I felt that my mission was accomplished. But the moment I closed my eyes, I returned to hell, and the King of Hell still looked solemn before me.
"I gave you half an hour to experience your wife's life. How do you feel now?"
I knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. "Lord Yama, I am guilty and I should repent. Please pronounce the verdict. No matter what decision you make, I am willing to obey."
"Very good, it seems that you have truly repented, so I will not hide the truth from you. Your wife has established a charity foundation in your name in the mortal world. Now that you have done good deeds, I cannot dispose of you at will. You now have two choices. One is to reincarnate right now, and I can arrange for you to be born into a wealthy family. The other is to stay in the underworld and become a high-level ghost messenger."
Staying in the underworld and becoming a high-level ghost messenger was exactly what I wanted, so I quickly expressed my willingness to choose the second option. What I didn't notice was that after I chose this path, infinite joy burst out from the eyes of the King of Hell.
The King of Hell waved his hand, and my clothes changed. My originally light body suddenly became extremely heavy.
Before I had the chance to take stock of my current condition, I was sent to my post by the King of Hell.
"Xiao Hei, this is a new buddy sent to you. He is not an ordinary ghost messenger. He has a lot of good deeds. You can make good use of him."
Easy to use?
You want me to do my job well?
I will. I will wait until my wife comes down and then tell her that I know I was wrong and I want to reincarnate with her. I will definitely treat her well in the next life.
What I didn’t expect was that the so-called “useful for use” would actually be so “useful for use”.
I was kept under the control of Hei Wuchang and became a high-level ghost messenger. I had nothing to do every day and my younger brothers played cards with me. Days went by, and I was so idle that I began to question my life.
I started to ask the younger brother who played cards with me: "Don't we have to do anything? Aren't we ghost messengers? Why is Big Brother Hei Wuchang so busy, but we don't have to be busy?"
"Of course you don't have to work." The younger brother was very exaggerated when he spoke: "You are a person with merits, who dares to ask you to work? You just need to be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun."
Is this really the case? Do people with Yingde have nothing to do? After the experience in the fantasy world, I don't believe it at all.
One day, when I was playing cards with my younger brother, we were having a great time. I didn’t even know what year or month it was outside. Suddenly, I felt dizzy.
Then I heard the call from Brother Hei Wuchang, and a particularly strong suction force attracted me and I floated out, directly sucking me to where Brother Hei Wuchang was. He casually stroked my body, and a golden light floated out and fell into his hand.
"Thanks, brother. Go back and have a good rest for a while."
Then I floated back into the temple.
During that time, I felt my soul was particularly weak. Brother Hei Wuchang even came to visit me and gave me some supplements from the underworld.
He said that he was borrowing some of my good deeds. I would be very weak during this period of time, but I would be better after this period of time.
I expressed my understanding that since I was working under him, I would definitely work hard. At the same time, I expressed my loyalty to him and said that if there was an opportunity to do such work in the future, I would be there at any time and would never refuse.
This sounds very nice, but I know that I am at the mercy of others. It is nothing more than a few nice words. How can I refuse?
Big Brother Hei Wuchang was very happy, and he summoned me more frequently from then on. I also felt increasingly weak, so he would bring me some supplements from time to time.
I do feel much better after taking the supplements, but I also feel a little lack of energy after doing it so often.
Every time I feel tired, he would message me less often, and I dare not ask why. I just want to live a peaceful life here, waiting for my wife to come down, and waiting for us to meet again in the next life.
But I feel like I can’t wait any longer.
Even though Hei Wuchang used me less and less often, my soul was still getting weaker and weaker, and the originally solid black color became transparent.
Am I going to disappear?
One day, the King of Hell suddenly came to see me and was angry at Brother Hei Wuchang. I didn’t know why, but since then, Brother Hei Wuchang almost never summoned me.
I went back to my life of eating, drinking, having fun and playing cards every day.
Actually, I don't want to play cards. I want to mend my ways and wait for my wife to live a good life together, but they keep tempting me, and I really can't stand the temptation.
Finally, I waited for my wife to pass away. Actually, I have always had a question in my mind: why didn’t the King of Hell judge me when I just died, but instead judged me after I had accumulated merits for a period of time after my death?
Because I had always had a good relationship with Brother Hei Wuchang, he informed me of the news that my wife was coming as soon as possible and took me to meet my wife.
I was very excited and wanted to reminisce about the past with her, but my wife would hide when she saw me. I finally got close to her, but a part of my body was burned to ashes.
"Brother Hei Wuchang, what on earth is going on?"
"Hey, brother, your wife is full of real merits. You'd better not touch her, you have a black heart but a golden body. If you touch her too much, you will be gone."
I roughly understood what it meant, and I felt very sad, but then I changed my mind and realized that my wife was so good to me. Even after I died, she would still do good deeds in my name and accumulate merit for me. She must still love me.
So I showed my loyalty to my wife, hoping to win her over with my love.
Unexpectedly, she frowned in disgust: "In my next life, or the next life after that, I don't want to be your wife again. Even meeting you again makes me feel extremely disgusted."
Is this really something my wife who loves me would say to me?
I asked her that if she hated me so much, why did she set up a charity fund in my name and why did she want to accumulate good karma for me?
Her explanation was completely different from my understanding. "I did it for Jianhui only. Although he killed you by mistake, I think you really deserved to die. In order to eliminate his sins, I set up charity funds in your name and his name respectively. While eliminating his sins, I will also pay you back on his behalf."
I completely understood what she meant, and also understood the origin of my good deeds in this life. It turned out that it was just my wishful thinking from the beginning to the end.
Well, well, for people like me, good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
I walked towards her calmly, as if I saw the way she looked when I first saw her, and I told her that I would treat her well for the rest of my life.
Finally, in her astonished eyes, I hugged her and turned into nothingness.
