Chapter 689 The little girl is called Meng Po
Su Nuan was stuffed with a handful of paper money for the dead, with denominations ranging from one thousand to ten.
Su Nuan laughed. She felt like she had found a God of Wealth uncle. He gave her two exquisite bracelets as soon as they met, and now he gave her pocket money.
Su Nuan was in a good mood and walked towards the bridge humming a little tune.
When they arrived at the center, Su Nuan thought about waiting for Ling Yun and the others.
Unexpectedly, the scenery on the bridge is very beautiful. The artificial river below is winding, with many lotus lanterns floating in the water. The colorful flames of the lanterns are very dreamy.
Su Nuan sighed, "Before I came to the ghost town, I thought it was very ugly. Now I realize that it is the most beautiful city."
The Space Spirit said, "Don't you find it strange?"
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What's strange?"
The space spirit replied: "There is no wind."
Su Nuan was surprised to find that the temperature in the city was just right and there was not a trace of wind. Could it be that the ghost town was covered by a protective shield?
"Well, so here you can't go up to the sky or down to the ground. If you want to go out, you can only go through the door."
The space spirit nodded, "Yes, does it count as a large cage?"
Su Nuan had no intentions towards the ghost town. She just wanted to eat, drink and have fun, so she didn't feel any pressure.
"Never mind. I have to explore such a beautiful city. I can't miss out on the delicious food."
The space spirit chuckled, "You seem quite relaxed."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's just how life is. If you don't take a closer look at the beautiful scenery and instead feel sad about the passing of time, that's such a letdown."
The Space Spirit chuckled, "Yeah, that's true, but what are we doing standing here?"
"The scenery is the same on both sides, right? Let's go, maybe there's something delicious up ahead."
When Su Nuan went up the bridge, she walked on the right side and looked at the scenery on the right. She looked to the left and found that it was very dark.
"Go over there and take a look. It seems different."
She walked through the crowd and came to the other side of the bridge. The scenery here was indeed different.
If the scenery on the right is fairyland, then the scenery on the left is hell.
The surface of the river glowed with a light green fluorescence, as if a layer of green fluorescent grease was floating on the water.
Irregular black skull patterns will appear in the oil, slowly expanding and dissipating, and then new skulls will appear.
Su Nuan laughed, "This gives me an idea."
The space spirit asked: "What idea?"
Su Nuan said, "Isn't this the Naihe Bridge? People have to walk on it after they die."
“The right side is the path from the human world to the underworld. The scenery is picturesque, telling you that your suffering in the human world is over.”
"As for this side, it's heading out of the underworld. It can be considered as reincarnation, right?"
"Then the hell scenes we see... mean that people are truly entering hell after reincarnation."
The space spirit was stunned, its brain a little confused.
At this time, a little girl ran up to Su Nuan, looked up at her and asked, "New here? Are you going out or coming in?"
Su Nuan looked down and saw a little kid about two or three years old, as chubby as a porcelain doll.
She was wearing red trousers and a short jacket woven with gold and silver threads, which made her look so festive that people wanted to kiss her.
Su Nuan nodded and said, "I'm new here and was about to go in, but I have to wait for my friends to come."
"Little sister, do you live here? Aren't you worried about being bullied by bad guys if you run out by yourself?"
The little girl said disdainfully: "Don't call me little sister, call me Meng Po."
Su Nuan looked at her in astonishment. Meng Po, what a sad name.
Meng Po was a little surprised when she saw the sadness and sympathy in Su Nuan's eyes. "You actually feel sad and sympathetic for me?"
Su Nuan suppressed her emotions and said with a smile: "If you feel happy, I am wrong."
Meng Po chuckled and took out a few lotus seeds with rock sugar from the pouch at her waist. "Please have some."
Su Nuan took it and threw it into her mouth. The lotus seeds were not cored. They were sweet at first, then bitter and then sweet again, just like life.
Being with your parents is sweet when you are a child, but it becomes bitter when you grow up. When you look back when you are old, all the hardships along the way will be indelible memories.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to some candy too."
Su Nuan took out a bag of assorted candies with all kinds of flavors.
Meng Po sniffed, her eyes lit up, "They are all good things, are you really willing to give them away?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "It's a matter of reciprocity. Why wouldn't you be reluctant?"
Meng Po nodded, pinched a piece of pine nut candy and put it in her mouth. She ate it like a little squirrel.
Su Nuan asked: "Can I hug you?"
Meng Po nodded, "It's OK."
Su Nuan picked her up, avoided the crowd and went to the right, standing by the railing waiting.
Meng Po asked, "Don't you think people are strange?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "Why do you say that?"
Meng Po laughed and said, "People spend their whole lives pursuing things they can't get, and sometimes they don't cherish them when they get them."
Su Nuan was silent. It was indeed like that, but she had no right to judge other people's lives.
She thought for a moment and said, "No matter what others do, I just need to take care of myself."
Meng Po was startled for a moment, then smiled with her eyes curved, "Well, well said."
At this time, Ling Yun came to the bridge and asked anxiously, "Are you okay? I'll take you to get your ID card."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I've already received it."
After saying that, she took out the sign and shook it.
Ling Yun widened his eyes and asked in astonishment: "White?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, what's wrong? Are there other colors?"
Ling Yun took out his ID card, it was shiny black!
Meng Po chuckled and all the candy residue sprayed out.
She wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not likable. It is still us beauties who are likable."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "My name is Su Nuan."
There is only a number but no name on the ID card.
Meng Po nodded, "Su Nuan, those with white signs are good citizens, protected by the ghost officers here."
"Black signs indicate refugees. If something happens, the ghost officials will not only not protect them, but will drive them away, and in serious cases, they will be killed."
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun’s black sign and felt a little worried.
"You'd better follow me and don't run around."
When Ling Yun saw that Su Nuan was worried about him, a smile broke out on his face. He instantly felt in a good mood and all the gloom in his heart dissipated.
"Okay, you have to protect me."
Su Nuan nodded. "Well, let's go to the market over there. I just exchanged some ghost money, and Uncle Yin gave me a lot more. It should be enough for me to spend."
"By the way, I heard that they don't give change when you buy things here. You can only get what you pay for."
As she spoke, she carried Meng Po to the market.
Meng Po said, "That's right, they don't give change here. If there's something that costs five yuan each, give ten yuan and take two. Don't take just one. They won't remind you."
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I understand."
Ling Yun was following them like a servant at this moment.
The three of them got off the bridge, and Su Nuan discovered that this was not a random stall, but there were stalls, and each stall was built with stone bricks to form a grid on the ground.
Su Nuan sighed and said, "These stalls are all divided, it's really convenient."
