Chapter 061: Bones in the Cemetery (End)
It was quiet underground. The ghosts had left and it was no longer as lively as before. Even the sound of flowing water could not be heard.
White fingers lifted the curtain from the outside.
Tao Xing raised her eyes and met the pale face.
The other party felt guilty and lowered his eyes and stepped back.
Tao Xing walked out of the sedan chair and looked around. The bone lamp was emitting a slightly cold light, the stream water was as solid as gel, and the rising water droplets stopped halfway, the flowers on the grass were withered, and the fruits in the bamboo basket had rotted.
Without the ghosts, there is only Helin, too lazy to create a beautiful environment.
Those prosperity seemed beautiful in the eyes of ghosts, but to the instigator, it was nothing special. After all, he always knew that it was all fake.
As Tao Xing was looking around, a faint light flowed, the branches of flowers slowly stood up, and the stream showed signs of flowing.
He shook his head and took Helin's hand: "No need to return to the way it was before."
Helin still lowered his eyes: "But this doesn't look good."
"I also know it's fake. Even if you become the same as before, it's still fake."
The Helin forest stopped transforming, the stream stopped flowing, the flowers were half-bloomed, and the fruits were still rotten.
Tao Xing walked up to him, said nothing, and just looked at him.
He Lin lowered his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he finally raised his head: "If I...if I lift the forbidden spell, I will not be able to condense energy, and the space here will no longer exist."
"Do you like it here?"
If you really like him, why don't you imagine a prosperous scene when you are alone?
If you love this environment, how could you let it rot and decay?
"No, but...where else can I go except here?" He Lin pursed his lips, "Besides, what I said is true. If the forbidden spell is lifted, I will really be reincarnated. Then I will not remember you, and I will be separated from you."
"You lied to me before and said you were going to reincarnate. Didn't you already plan to separate from me?"
"No." He Lin said, "I... I know I won't leave. I think I can still watch you silently every month. It's better to be with you than to forget you."
Tao Xing narrowed her eyes and looked at him.
He Lin continued: "I didn't expect that you would find me the first time I went there."
"It's hard not to find it." Tao Xing said.
He Lin lowered his head again: "Since I couldn't deceive you, I... Later, I still wanted you to come over, but I knew you would be angry, so I didn't dare to show up."
"So you put a red sedan chair at the end of my bed?" Fortunately it was him, if it was someone else, they would be scared to death.
080: "Host, the fact that you were not frightened by the sedan chair is enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life, right?"
Tao Xing: “Ahem.”
He Lin said seriously: "That is the token of our marriage. It is the most precious and beautiful thing in my eyes. I used it to bring you to the wedding hall, and now, I want to use it to bring you back."
His face was sad, but his eyes were sincere.
Tao Xing stared at him for a long while, then sighed unhappily: "Originally, if you hadn't lied to me, I would have told you that day. You and I have had a ghost marriage, so our fates are linked. You don't have to reincarnate. You can stay as long as I live. You can also live with me in the human world, where you can walk normally in the light, without the moonlight, and have a flesh and blood body."
He Lin was stunned for a long time, then he murmured, "Then it looks very much like a living person. Am I resurrected?"
"right."
He Lin was excited and was about to speak, but he didn't know what he was thinking about. The light in his eyes faded again, and he lowered his head and took two steps: "But... I am reluctant to leave here."
"I don't see that you are reluctant to leave this place. You obviously don't like it here." Tao Xing said, "You don't want to go to the human world with me, that's fine, but if the forbidden spell is not broken, you will become a fierce ghost."
"There's nothing wrong with being a ghost. There are even more powerful ones. As for being punished by heaven and earth, well, that's all for the future. Why think so far ahead now?"
Tao Xing walked up to him and said slowly, "The evil ghost has lost his mind. You will forget me even without reincarnation."
Helin suddenly raised his eyes.
Tao Xing nodded lightly.
The pale face in front of him looked a little flustered, with his hands tightly twisting the white crane on his clothes.
Tao Xing pulled his hand and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
He Lin was silent for a moment, and finally, he sighed deeply and said: "I have not been to the human world for a long time. The world has changed so much in these years. If I go there, I will not understand anything."
It turns out this was his real worry.
Tao Xing held him in her arms: "If you are willing to look carefully, you will understand soon. Besides, I am here. I am not asking you to depend on me, but I am telling you that you have my backing and you don't have to worry about having no way out. However... I respect your idea. If you really don't want to go, then..."
"I'll go." The person in his arms said, "I can't turn into a ghost, and I can't forget you." He looked up, "I also want to be with you day and night."
Then, he took a deep breath and looked up at the light coming in from outside: "Actually, I miss the human world very much."
Tao Xing smiled faintly.
Helin also smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
The floating light flickered, the rocks shook, and gravel and pebbles fell, but there was silence.
The stream seeped into the dark underground, the flowers and branches rotted, and the stone piles collapsed.
The gravel splashed up dust, and the two men smiled at each other.
He Lin truly broke the forbidden spell, and the space he had built was silently collapsing.
In this collapse, Helin tiptoed and kissed his sweetheart.
080 said: "Host, this world mission is completed."
Tao Xing nodded and kissed the person in front of her back.
The ground was once covered with flowers, but now it is covered with rubble. The two of them kissed on the ruins, with the moonlight falling quietly.
At dawn, Tao Xing placed a yellow flower in front of the tombstone, then took the people around him and walked out of the cemetery.
The grandmother who was going out for morning exercise opened the gate and saw her grandson coming back.
The old man was stunned: "Didn't you say you would be gone for three days? How come you came back in just one day?" He turned his eyes to the side and saw He Lin. He couldn't help but feel happy, "Oh, you're here, that's great, I've been thinking about you."
"Good morning, grandma." Tao Xing said, "Originally we planned for three days, but one day he was willing to come back with me, so we don't have to wait that long."
Grandma smiled and pulled the two of them into the house: "Hurry up and sit down. You haven't eaten yet. I'll make breakfast for you."
Tao Xing was about to stand up when the old man held her back: "I'll do it, you stay with him. By the way." She looked at He Lin, "What's your name?"
He Lin was a little embarrassed: "Hello, my name is Lin Heqing."
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao He. Xiao He, what do you like to eat, steamed buns, steamed dumplings, soy milk and fried dough sticks, or Western food, hamburgers, steaks?"
He Lin quickly stood up: "Don't bother."
"It's not a bother, but don't always call me 'you'. We are all family. Just call me grandma like Xiaoxing does."
He Lin raised his eyes slightly, his eyes flickered, and after a moment, he said cautiously, "Grandma."
When he finished speaking, there were tears in his eyes.
Tao Xing gently put her arm around his shoulders and smiled tenderly at him.
Helin wiped away her tears, smiled, and looked back. The morning sun shone into the courtyard, the flowers and plants swayed in the breeze, and the little yellow dog jumped back and forth, biting a leaf.
The sunshine on earth is so beautiful.
The staff and customers in the coffee shop all knew that Boss Tao was in love. The elegant man accompanied him to work every day, looked at the computer, read books, and sometimes helped review the store's promotional plans, or tried new products and gave suggestions for improvement.
I heard that he is from another place and lives in x street, x city, x province, which is now uninhabited.
When Helin heard the address, he thought for a long time: "I don't live here."
This was not his hometown during his lifetime.
Tao Xing said, "You are Lin Heqing from 30 years later, so of course your address will be different." Before he finished speaking, he received a call. After hanging up, he continued, "Let's go get your ID card. The replacement document for you is also ready."
After getting the ID card, the address showed X Street. The month and day of birth were the same as his original birth date, but the year was different. Judging from the age on the ID card, he was exactly twenty years old this year.
He Lin was surprised: "How did you do this?"
Tao Xing said: "You absorbed energy and formed an energy vortex. I referred to the Feng Shui and celestial phenomena and used a mirror to attract it and change the relevant magnetic field."
Due to the influence of the magnetic field, in people's eyes, Helin is a real person who can be added to the household registration. Even though his name, appearance, and birthday are the same as those of Lin Heqing back then, people will not associate them together at all. Even if they meet someone they knew back then, they will not recognize him.
Helin is still a ghost and can wander around in the human world. Occasionally, he will revert to his skeletal form.
But he got a human identity, and when he walked among the crowd, no one would suspect that he was a ghost.
080 Sometimes I wonder: "So, what about other people? Are those people who are moving among the crowd, walking beside people, and passing by people really people?"
The shop assistants also found that the boss had become very hardworking since he started dating, and he would read books in his spare time.
He Lin asked, "What are you looking at?"
Tao Xing showed him the cover of the book: "Information book, the original owner... Oh, I was uneducated and failed to get into university before, but now I want to try again."
He Lin's mind suddenly moved and he grabbed his hand tightly.
Tao Xing: "Do you want to try it too?"
"Can I?"
"Sure, we will all apply as working people."
Helin nodded, his heart pounding.
The following year, they both received admission letters from the same university.
That was the school that Helin had always dreamed of.
But he died on the day he reported for duty.
Helin's hand trembled slightly as he gently stroked the name of the college. Over the past thirty years, the paper and style of the notification letters have changed a lot, but the name has not changed.
The name of the school has not changed, and his name has not changed.
When the reply arrived, he was still wearing the same Zhongshan suit with a white crane embroidered on it. Even though it was out of tune with the surroundings, he finally got what he wanted.
And with my lover by my side, I have no regrets in this life.
Two years later, the store clerks heard that the boss's wife had opened a small company which was in its start-up phase.
If the industry they are in was a few decades ago, it would definitely be a sunrise industry, but now it is everywhere. I don’t know if they can sustain themselves. However, the boss is not short of money. Not to mention that the coffee shop is very profitable, I heard that the boss has an astonishing amount of savings. It doesn’t matter whether his wife’s business makes a profit or a loss, he can provide the bottom line anyway.
This year, there is also a happy event: the boss is getting married.
The wedding was so grand and lavish that it caused a sensation and attracted media coverage. The two people were simply sparkling under the lights.
Later, the coffee shop opened many branches. As for the boss's lover, his company has been listed on the stock market. People say that this momentum is many times stronger than the Lin Group which was at its peak in previous years.
Now, they are two big bosses.
As people were talking about it, the two big bosses were sitting on the steps of the courtyard.
The two men used grass whiskers to tease the puppy, and the puppy bit the grass, supported itself with its feet and pulled back.
Suddenly, I heard an old man on a reclining chair in the corridor shouting, "Quick, quick, quick, can one of you help me see how to play this game?"
The two of them smiled helplessly and stood up behind her: "Grandma, play less games, it's bad for your eyes."
"I'm already this old, who cares? If you don't let me play now, then when can I play?" Grandma frowned, "Just tell me how to play."
Tao Xing had no choice but to reach out: "Like this, and then like this..."
Helin smiled faintly and shook his head, then put the thin blanket over her.
There was something at his feet. He looked down and saw that the puppy, which had been chewing the grass, had sat on the ground because they stood up. Now it was unwilling to do so and was pulling at his trouser legs.
Helin held the puppy in his arms and stroked it. The dog then became quiet and rubbed against his palm.
The setting sun shines on the shadows of the trees, filling the yard with a pink glow.
Sharing their lives, Tao Xing lived another seventy years, and He Lin stayed in the world for another seventy years.
He has a human body and, like his lover, he ages over time, which fulfills the often-spoken oath: to grow old together.
Now that Tao Xing has left, He Lin may have time to reincarnate.
However, he will definitely not stay in this world.
080 said to Tao Xing: "Host, the reward in this world is 40 million. In addition, since the happiness value of the mission target is very high, there is still a reward of 20 million."
"How much is in my account now?"
"Sixty million."
"So...I didn't have any savings at all?"
080 looked at it and said, "Oh, there are some small changes."
Tao Xing: “…”
"Host, do you want to open the next world?"
Tao Xing lowered her eyes and smiled: "Open it."
080 said: "Host, we have passed through several worlds, are you still afraid?"
At this point, Tao Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. I tell you, except for snakes, I won't be afraid of anything else no matter what it looks like."
"Okay, host, the next world will open."
