Piano Song Killing Eve [Short Story]

01 "Water Ghost"

一

This rain is really evil.In the inland city of the north, the second month of the lunar calendar has just passed, but the scene is very similar to the rainy season in the south. It is gloomy and gloomy. Four or five days have passed, but the rain has not stopped.

Layman Qingguan was holding a navy blue bamboo bone silk umbrella, and was walking on the misty street.

It was almost dusk, the mysterious end of the black robe, ocher trousers, blessing seal and jade pendant, as well as the calm, graceful and detached temperament, made this mysterious man look like a man who came from a far-reaching foreign world to the present society. Unpredictable envoy.

However, he was indeed going to meet a guest from afar during his trip.

The woman was only in her twenties, wearing a silver-gray windbreaker, holding a folded transparent umbrella with her left hand, and pulling the handle of a pulley suitcase with her right hand. A water-blue silk ribbon wrapped her head. Black hair looms between the gaps in the yarn.

Her face is as delicate and beautiful as a peach blossom, and her eyes are as charming as an apricot pit. It's just that there are a few traces of sadness between her brows, which disturb the interest of passers-by, but in this rainy environment, it adds a bit of appropriateness. .

When the woman rubbed shoulders with the layman, the black pupils that were originally distracted suddenly reappeared.The two stopped at the same time as promised.

"The benefactor must ask for an autograph, right?" The layman turned around and looked at the woman's back.

But the woman showed a little fear on her face, and for a moment she didn't know what kind of plan to suppress the shock. She turned around and met the gaze of the layman, her tone was arrogant and frivolous:

"Uncle, I'm not superstitious. Besides, I'm a newcomer. If I get a lottery, I'll be asking for my own bad luck if I listen to your cloudy and misty talk."

But the layman didn't show the slightest bit of anger, but saw him pull out a bamboo stick from his wide sleeve, and handed it over.

The woman was actually deterred by this calm gesture, she glanced at the bamboo stick, but couldn't see a single sentence of the poem.

"Since the benefactor said that he has just arrived, he might as well accept this uncertain lottery, just like the fate of a person. Although the fate of a person is like signing a poem, it is like an unknown until then."

"But, but your signature should look like this, without a single word..."

"Since you are confident about your future, why do you still want to be prophets? If you are worried about the future, you must have planned it long ago."

At this point, the woman was startled suddenly.

However, the layman ignored the pale beauty and turned to look up at the gray sky exposed at the gap between the two umbrellas.

"Almsgiver, instead of wasting time with the old monk, why not hurry up and find the person who released the lottery while the rain of impermanence has not stopped."

The woman knew very well that the other party knew the truth, but she still showed her arrogance.

"Old man? Hmph," the woman squinted at the layman's gray hair, then glanced at the still young face, and let out a sneer, "Uncle, which mental hospital did you escape from, or did you come through some fairy cave?"

After finishing speaking, she added a few more smirks, and was about to go on the journey again, but when she turned around, she fixed her eyes on the bamboo stick. Very afraid.

"Huh!" However, he hesitated for only a moment, and the woman shouted angrily, and walked towards the rain and fog deep in the street.

In a unit of an apartment building, young couple Du Hao and Rong Rong are cleaning the second bedroom that will be rented out.The clock pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon, and the doorbell rang on time.

Rong Rong opened the door, and saw the woman with peach blossom face and almond eyes, the woman smiled amiably, out of politeness, she fiddled with the silk ribbon around her head to her neck, and her black hair immediately poured down on her chest .

"Hello, I'm a new tenant, my name is Mu Qing."

"Welcome, welcome! — Husband, come and help me with the luggage!"

Throughout the afternoon, the couple were helping the new tenants with their luggage.

Seeing Mu Qing's sweet appearance and easy-going personality, Rong Rong couldn't hide her love for her, and was as close as a sister. Du Hao was left aside, and he looked like a stranger.

That night, seeing that Mu Qing was only preparing to make a bowl of noodles, Rongrong invited her to have dinner together.

Rongrong and Mu Qing chatted happily without any grievances, and Du Hao gave Rongrong winks from time to time, showing her to be defensive.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again. Of course Rongrong and Mu Qing didn't have time to eat and chat, so Du Hao stood up and went to open the door.

The two women were still chatting and laughing until Rong Rong saw the confused face of Du Hao who turned back. Before he had time to ask questions, another figure appeared behind Du Hao: a peach blossom face with apricot core eyes, and a silver-gray coat that was transparent The umbrella is missing, but the silk ribbon on the head is missing, and the rest is exactly the same as the woman sitting at the dining table.

"My name is Mu Qing, it's the first time I meet you..."

At this point in the words, the two Mu Qings were pale because of seeing another self, and Mu Qing who had just entered the door opened her mouth, and Mu Qing at the table screamed, she slumped from the chair and sat on the floor, Curled up and trembling.

Later, Mu Qing seemed to be frightened by this scene again, she didn't even have the guts to scream, instead she begged for mercy and said "I'm sorry", and fled with her luggage.

After the three of them calmed down and sat around the table again, Mu Qing began to tell her story.

"My hometown is in a town with many rivers and rivers. I also have a twin sister. We look alike, but our personalities are completely different.

"I am very introverted and easily shy, but my sister is very confident and strong. When I was young, I was always by her side, and whenever I encountered something that I dare not do, she would do it for me. As time went on, I became more and more mature. The more timid I am, I dare not leave my sister half a step away.

"Fortunately, my sister doesn't dislike me. She often pretends to be me and helps me do things that make it difficult for me. We look exactly the same, so no one has ever noticed. I thought it would be good to continue like this until I met someone I like.

"It was my sister who pretended to be me to confess to him. I also asked my sister to help me with a few important appointments. It was going well, but one day, the boy told me that he liked my confidence and cheerfulness the most.

"I just realized that the person he really likes is my sister, and I have become a substitute for my sister!

"I began to resent my sister and wanted to get rid of her, but I didn't dare, because I couldn't live without her. What's more, with her here, I can at least pretend to be her occasionally, and in the name of my sister, I can't live without her. But he loves his older sister's boy dating.

"But my sister can't tolerate me anymore. She is arrogant and domineering to me, and she has driven me away more than once. There are many things that I want to do and can do, but she insists on doing them for me. In the end, she didn't Let me meet her boyfriend again, you know he is my favorite person!

"Three years ago in the summer, I went shopping with her. When we passed a road built along the river, she stopped suddenly, and then turned her back to me and looked at the river. After a while, she told me that without me, she would I would be happier if I were washed away by the river. I was very angry at the time, but I only dared to resist in my heart. At that time, I was thinking that she was the one who should be washed away by the water.

"But……"

Reminiscing so far, Mu Qing's face began to distort due to extreme regret, and then pear blossoms brought rain, and the two people opposite her showed pity.

"But a strange thing happened. As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the river suddenly opened a whirlpool, and my sister was... sucked in by the whirlpool..."

Mu Qing lowered her head and wept uncontrollably, Rong Rong dragged her cheeks and frowned in thought, while Du Hao was startled, suspicious and hesitant to speak.

"Ah!" Rongrong snapped her fingers and her eyes lit up, "Then that one just now was..." She covered her mouth because she was too terrified at the conclusion.

"Is it a ghost?" Du Hao took the words.

"It's a water ghost." Mu Qing corrected in a low voice.

It is rumored that people who drowned died unexpectedly, and because of too much resentment, they could not walk the road to Huangquan. They could only wander in the water of death, and they could die after three years.

"Even after my sister died, she refused to let me go. She followed me all the time. Whenever I went to a place with water, I would see her floating on the water. That's why I moved to this inland city. Unexpectedly, she still followed me. coming."

Du Hao's lips opened and closed. Although he felt abrupt, he still asked Mu Qing: "Is it really the vortex created by the river itself? Or...she jumped down by herself? Or was someone pushing her down?"

After hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly raised her head, her eyes were fixed on Du Hao, and her trembling pupils were soon covered with tears.

"Don't ask me, I don't know!" After saying that, he turned and ran to his room.

"Hey, what are you talking about? At that time, there were only Mu Qing and her sister!" Rong Rong thumped Du Hao's shoulder.

Before going to bed that night, Du Hao checked the door lock and saw a bamboo stick at the door. He immediately recognized that it belonged to layman Qingguan. People, if they are predestined with bamboo sticks, they will be able to see the poems signed, but those who have no predestined relationship will see only ordinary bamboo sticks.

But it is said that those who ask for a lottery from the Layman Qingguan will see the poems on the sign. I don't know if they all found the lottery that is destined, or the layman is playing tricks.

Du Hao glanced at the bamboo stick, and there were two lines of lower characters written on it:

"In vain to look forward to thousands of years, the ghost provokes Fanghua. Mistakenly blamed on her, forgetting the love and never forgetting the river."

He took the lottery to his wife again and asked, "Can you see the signed poem?"

Rongrong took it over, looked at it, and said, "Yes."

"Well, I can see it too. It seems that the layman is really deceiving people."

"Where did your sign come from?"

"I picked it up at the door."

"The door? The water ghost didn't drop it, did it? Oh, I say you, throw it away!"

"Oh..." Du Hao scratched the back of his head, looked at the signed poem again, remembered what Lay Qingguan said about "people with predestined relationship", he took it more or less seriously, so he put the bamboo sticks into the cabinet while his wife was not paying attention.

It was still cloudy and rainy in the middle of the night, and it was warm and cold in early spring and March. There were not many people on the street. The woman who looked the same as Mu Qing was sitting alone under the canopy of a building in a daze. Turning around, he saw that the person who came was a man with a handsome face and a handsome face.

"Has the benefactor not settled yet?" The layman was still dressed in the daytime, with a three-point smile on his mouth.

"Have we... met?" The woman was in a daze.

"The benefactor doesn't remember? The old man once asked for a lottery for the benefactor."

The woman shook her head dully, and then explained the whole story clearly, presumably the man mistook her and her sister.

The layman invited her to live in a monastery in the suburbs. The woman was trembling at first, but she followed the layman all the way through the temple and into the wing room, and then saw the tranquility of the four Buddhist empty doors. defected.

After the layman settled the woman, he turned and went back to the house. The woman followed all the way, saw him clasping his palms to the Bodhisattva in the middle of the room, then went to the desk and sat down, copying the scriptures.

"I... want to ask for a lottery." The woman's tone was hesitant but urgent.

The layman didn't stop copying, but just answered quietly as if exhaling.

"Hasn't the benefactor already obtained a lottery? Divination is all about sincerity, I'm afraid it won't work if you let your temper go."

"That person is not me!"

"When I am in chaos, all beings are me. When I am awake, I sigh impermanence."

The woman couldn't understand the layman's words, so she had to continue to beg: "Layman, I have a very painful thing in my heart, and I want to ask you to help resolve it."

At this time, the layman stopped copying, raised his head, and looked into the woman's eyes with a little pity.

"Almsgiver, all living beings are suffering, so why worry too much?"

The woman just treated the layman lightly talking about other people's sorrows, so she could no longer listen to the layman's words. She said to herself in despair: "My sister, even after she dies, she wants to occupy my life! She has been following me all these years, pretending to be me. Some inexplicable things, I can no longer tell which things I did and which things she did!"

At this moment, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, obviously some terrible thoughts flashed in her mind, she trembled her lips for a moment, then shook her head with her hands in her hands.

"Could it be...it was me who was sucked into the vortex at that time! Am I already dead?"

But the layman was still as calm as Qingfeng Buddha's face, he looked up at the sky outside the window, and said to himself: "When will this rain stop?"

Although she vaguely felt that what the layman said was ulterior motives, but the emotional outburst just now had exhausted her strength, and the woman no longer expected to get relief from the layman. She staggered and turned and walked towards the door, but was stopped by the layman.

"donor!"

The woman turned around, and saw the layman standing up from the table, then bent down to pick up a water-blue ribbon from the nearby brick and stone floor.

"You dropped something." After saying that, he approached the woman and handed the ribbon to her.

"I... did I lose it?" The woman was at a loss because she was thinking hard, and when she took a closer look, she couldn't help but sighed: "It's the same!"

"A sample has no style, and there is permanence in exchange for drinking and hating." The layman said while wrapping the silk ribbon around the woman's neck, "wait for the dawn, and there will be no flowers on the other side."

The woman still didn't understand, but for some reason she was relieved a lot.

"Almsgiver, do you know that those who love you are waiting for you to wake up."

"Love me?"

In the evening of the next day, three or five police cars and a large crowd gathered near the monastery in the suburbs. It turned out that there were two mummified corpses lying on their backs at the corner of the mountain. Law enforcement and police officers were terrified.

While everyone was speculating about strange powers, someone claimed to have seen a woman wandering around last night, wearing a silver-gray windbreaker and a water-blue ribbon, but she couldn't see her face clearly.So Mu Qing, who was staying in the monastery, became a suspicious person.

When the woman waited quietly in the corridor of the police station, she didn't feel too anxious. Since she has been in a daze for more than three years, this must be her fate.She is Mu Qing, but no one believes her, she is not Mu Qing, but she doesn't believe in herself, two identical people, who dies and who lives, who is who, who replaces the other, she is tired of exploring, Or let nature take its course.

"There is no sample, there is permanence in exchange for hatred." She seemed to have realized a little bit.

六

When this Mu Qing was brought into the interrogation room, another Mu Qing was already sitting at the table.She couldn't help but staggered, not wanting the other party to preemptively attack again, and retreated behind the policeman with an innocent and terrified expression.

"Brother Police, I don't want to stay with her! She is a ghost!"

"Do you think I will believe it? Sit back!"

That Mu Qing sat down resentfully, and this Mu Qing also sat across the table from her.

It's no problem that the two look the same, and even dress the same, so both Mu Qing become suspects.

When the police left and closed the gate, the tenant showed her true colors. She folded her arms in front of her chest and gave another Mu Qing a hard look, but that Mu Qing was still cowardly, and she couldn't help being shocked. The tenant Mu Qing Qing sneered exaggeratedly.

The cowardly Mu Qing is puzzled, the tenant Mu Qing is so arrogant, although it is not clear why she pretends to be Mu Qing, even if she is really Mu Qing, there is a monitor in the room, so if you change a person like this, won't you be afraid of being exposed?

"Don't forget that we are exactly the same, whoever is looking at the monitor can tell which is me and which is you? You can just pretend to be pitiful with trembling, anyway, as soon as the door opens, I can make them think that I am the cowardly Mu Qing , and my performance like this is naturally on your head."

She can know what other people think!

"To tell you the truth, I sucked your sister into the water back then. I'm... I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it. I'm the Millennium Water Ghost King."

"Water ghost... king?" Mu Qing turned pale with fright.

"It's not easy to be a king. The water ghost can be reincarnated after the three-year wandering soul period, but I finally waited until three years. The person who became the water ghost for me was bestowed by the king of Hades because of his accumulation of sinful virtue." Ten years! I can only wait for another three years, and when it comes, I never expected that my birth will be the life of a water ghost again!

"Hey, in short, by accident, I have been a lonely ghost for 1000 years, and the resentment is getting deeper and deeper. I was wandering in the river last year, and saw your sisters quarreling, standing by the river That resentment is very deep, isn't it just used for possession? So..."

"So you just took my sister..." Mu Qing broke down in tears when she said this.

"Why are you pretending to be sisters? Didn't you really want your sister to die at that time?"

"what……"

"Let me tell you, I possessed your sister's body so easily, just to enjoy it in the world. You might as well tell you that I sucked the blood of those two people, so you can take the blame for me obediently. When you get to the underworld, I will Let your companions say a few good words for you in front of the King of Hades, and ensure that you will be a good family in the next life. If you still follow me and get in the way, I will drag you into hell and never be reborn forever!"

Mu Qing was terrified when she heard this, but suddenly remembered the layman's words: People who love me are waiting for me to wake up.

Yes, there are still people who love her, she can't leave, she wants to stay!Thinking about it this way rekindled her long-lost enthusiasm for living, and also inspired her determination to fight this witch.

At this moment, the door opened, and the policeman walked in and asked, "Who is Mu Qing?"

Both stood up and answered "I am" at the same time.

The water ghost gave Mu Qing a hard look, and Mu Qing raised her chin without showing weakness.The policeman shouted: "Don't play tricks, who is it?"

"I am!" They said in unison again.

"No matter who you are, fill out the form quickly and wait for the statement to be made!"

The police handed two forms to each of the women.With something to do at hand, the two temporarily ceased fighting.The water ghost unceremoniously wrote the word "Mu Qing" in the name column on the form, but the woman who called herself "Mu Qing" fell into confusion when the tip of her pen touched that column.

"I've filled it out, take me to make a statement." Shui Gui ignored "Mu Qing" who had been silent for a long time, stood up and walked towards the door.

"and many more!"

Both the water ghost and the policeman followed the sound and turned their heads, only to see that Mu Qing, who was originally a weak temperament, suddenly cheered up. She chuckled lightly, then stood up and looked directly at the water ghost.

"Who the hell are you?" The voice was also sonorous and powerful.

"Me? Hmph, I'm Mu Qing!"

"Then who am I?"

"You? It's my sister."

"What is my name?"

"Your name is..." Only then did Shuigui realize that she was being led by the nose by the contemptuous Mu Qing. She looked at the policeman who was looking at him suspiciously, and for a moment didn't know how to end it.

"You also said that you are Mu Qing, why don't you know your sister's name? My sister's name is..."

At this time, Mu Qing was speechless, and realized that she couldn't pronounce her sister's name, "One sample has no shape", the words of the layman suddenly flashed through her mind, as if there was something hidden inside, but she looked at it as if through a thick fog. Not thorough.

"It's scary! She's crazy, take me away!" Seeing Mu Qing lost in thought, the water ghost took advantage of the situation. The police wanted to ask what happened, but the water ghost dragged him out of the door.

"do not go!"

Mu Qing was really crazy, she shouted and rushed towards the water ghost, the water ghost became furious, took off the ribbon around her neck, spread it in the air, and instantly turned into a column of clear water and flew towards Mu Qing.But Mu Qing still rushed towards her as if possessed by an evil spirit.

Seeing Mu Qing fighting desperately, the water ghost yelled: "I'll send you to the underworld right away!" Then he threw the ribbon out again. The police had a premonition that something was wrong, but saw that the ribbon turned into a stronger current and rushed him straight Outside the house, the water continued to expand, turning the entire police station into a vast ocean.

Seven

At this time, the young couple were cleaning up the room they had just rented out. The tenant was either a murderer or a water ghost. They had already decided to take back the house and not rent it out.

In the midst of being busy, Du Hao kept criticizing his wife for being crazy: "I said you are too thoughtful of strangers, look at your heartless appearance! You are so close to her, you should go to a layman tomorrow to get rid of your bad luck! "

"I... I don't know what's wrong, when I see her, it's like seeing a relative..." Rongrong said aggrievedly.

"By the way, that bamboo stick..." Du Hao slipped his tongue.

"You didn't throw it away? You...you're still talking about me! Hmph!"

Du Hao hurriedly took out the bamboo stick from the cabinet, and vaguely felt that the stick could not be thrown away, but when he looked again, the poem on the stick changed:

"A sample has no sample, and you can exchange hatred for permanence... Wife, come and see!"

But at this moment, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. Du Hao and Rong Rong went to the window to look, but they saw the pattering rain, the evil wind whistling, lightning and thunder, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was covered by dark clouds. The hours are like dark midnight.

They felt that the rain was coming abnormally, but they saw a gap on the ground between the buildings in the distance, and then it seemed that an invisible giant ax split the gap all the way to the sky. When people didn't realize that they had died for no reason, then A large amount of dirty and muddy water was sprayed out from the ground fissure, forming a wall of water reaching the sky. For a while, there were cries for help everywhere, and the wall of water rushed straight to the apartment where the two lived like a tsunami.

At this time, Du Hao held Rong Rong's hand tightly, "Don't let go!" He thought that the momentum of the water wall could not be dodged at all, he must protect his wife, even if he died, he would die together.

Before Rong Rong could respond, the wall of water rushed over and engulfed the eighth-floor apartment in an instant. They suddenly felt as if a steel plate was hitting their bodies directly, and the water flowed into their mouths and noses in an instant. In this way, their consciousness gradually blurred.

Eight

The whole city instantly turned into an underwater capital, but seeing that the water of the crack in the ground was turbid and gloomy, and with the flow of the water, hundreds of ghosts from hell came out.

Those evil ghosts from hell must have been pushed down the Wangchuan River by Black and White Wuchang because of the stubborn souls at the Naihe Bridge who refused to drink Mengpo soup. The beast that has been around for a long time has vented all its resentment and tyranny.

They are devouring the souls of mortals and sucking their blood, causing more harm to the world than the water, where ghosts scream, all living beings cry for help, thunder and lightning strike, and floods ravage.

However, Mu Qing, who was washed out of the police station by the flood and was now floating in the water, was already in great pain when the water invaded her body. When she was dying, she tried her best to open her eyes and looked at the real world separated by the flood. Instead, she calmed down. It's over, she let go of her thoughts, letting the strange things over the years reappear in her mind repeatedly.

She saw her past life: when she was a child, she was alone, talking to the void from time to time, and changing her expressions and movements from time to time, as if playing two roles. She saw herself standing proudly and cowardly at the side of the river...

A sample without a sample!

She suddenly came to her senses and wanted to shout for help, but the moment she opened her mouth, she was choked by the water. She wanted to swim upstream to the world she was looking at, only to realize that it was too late.

The water ghost sat on the roof, overlooking the mess of the city.Countless lifeboats wandered among the cities, looking for survivors. Looking around, the survivors gathered on the roof of every building. They either called for help from the lifeguards, or cried for the death of their relatives and friends.

"My thousand years of resentment should be paid back in full, you pious mortals!" After speaking, the water ghost laughed wildly.

"Amitabha!"

The sound of the visitor was like a bell, making the water ghost tremble.She searched for the sound, and saw that Layman Qingguan was slowly approaching in a small boat.The water ghost was terrified at first, but soon after making calculations, he showed complacency.

"Qing Guan, I know you are powerful, but you can't do anything to me right now. I am attached to the body of Sister Mu Qing, and her soul is still in my body. You will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, will you?"

"Amitabha, good and good," Qing Guan put his palms together in front of his chest, and said solemnly, "The Muqing woman has been stubborn for many years, and now she has repented, you are a water ghost, a thousand-year-old resentful spirit, but you have nothing to do with other people's resentment , and complacent."

"What... what do you mean?"

"In vain to look forward to thousands of years, the ghost provokes Fanghua. Mistakenly blamed on her, forgetting the love and never forgetting the river."

"Ah..." The water ghost had an epiphany and was terrified.

At this time, Layman Qingguan hangs his body in the air, emitting golden light all over his body. He sits in a lotus position in the air, puts his hands together with an open mind, and recites the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra" in his mouth.

The whole body of Buddha's light shot directly into the flood, and the bamboo stick that had been drifting with the flood also radiated light when it received the Buddha's light, and poems and proses continued to appear on the sign.

Those words immediately changed into images suspended in the air and on the surface of the water. In this way, they appeared and changed back and forth, and the shadows of the characters accumulated more and more, and finally listed into the whole scriptures of the Bodhisattva’s vows. The shadow-covered bell covers the Water Ghost King inside the bell.

The water ghost began to groan loudly, and after a while, scattered scattered photons and dived into the water.

The shadows of the scriptures split into sentences again, dived into the water, and stretched along the water. The ghost shot by the light screamed in shock, and was immediately engulfed by the light, and the water of the river of forgetfulness that was drawn by the water ghost king also gradually receded. .

Mu Qing's consciousness gradually returned, and she felt that the light was shining on her body, as if there were two warm hands holding her in the palm, she felt peaceful and serene.

In a trance, she felt that she had surfaced in the light and floated in the air. When she opened her eyes, she was already standing on the top of a tall building.

She was stunned by the mess around her, and she staggered towards a place where the bodies of drowned people were kept. When she saw the young couple lying there holding each other's hands, a strong sadness almost overwhelmed her , she knelt down beside them, weeping uncontrollably.

"Amitabha, love is not caused by cause and effect, fate is destined to life and death. Almighty, why are you so sad?" Qing Guan was standing behind Mu Qing at this time, still showing a three-point smile, detached from the world.

Mu Qing turned around to look at him, and said, "Layman, I have awakened now, but the person who loves me has left me."

"How do you know that they are people who love you?" Qing Guan Youran asked.

"Ah..." Mu Qing didn't know what was going on for a moment, but she cared so much about the two people who had met by fate.

"You said you have awakened, but where is your enlightenment?"

"I... I don't have an older sister. I have been lonely since I was a child. I have low self-esteem, and I subconsciously refuse to accept myself, but I pursue perfection too much. When I can't handle things, I have to be brave. As a result, I split into another strong person. Do it yourself. It’s my fault that I always keep the dark side in my heart, which is the complete opposite to my grievances. I didn’t expect my grievances to accumulate into disasters, and the water ghost who was also blinded by the grievances mistakenly possessed my phantom Sister, it caused such a catastrophe. I have killed so many innocent people, and I deserve death..."

"Benefactor, you haven't fully understood yet."

"Not completely?"

"The disaster is not innocent, but oneself!" Qing Guan showed pity on his face.

"I... I don't understand!"

"Hey..." Qing Guan shook his head, and sighed, "All living beings are suffering, and they give up the thought of rebirth, and go to liberation for the sake of reincarnation." After speaking, he turned around with a flick of his sleeves, stepped on the boat, and left.

Mu Qing wanted to catch up and ask for clarification. At this time, dawn had already broken in the east, and the morning light turned into a ray of light, illuminating the sky over the city like Buddha's light.

"Wait for the morning light, and the flowers will not be seen on the other side..."

Mu Qing read it over and over again, and suddenly came to her senses. She was dumbfounded and terrified, but after thinking about it again, she became calm again. She looked down at the couple with a gratified and yearning smile on her face, and turned to look at the east. Turning towards the sun, the morning sun covering her face turned out to be so beautiful, she suddenly felt nostalgic for this life.

The post-disaster relief has been going on for a week. In a collective tent, Rong Rong and her neighbor Wu Ma are sorting relief supplies.Du Hao opened the curtain and walked in sadly.

"What's wrong? Is there any bad news?" Rong Rong hurried forward and asked.

"Oh, I passed by the rescue team just now and saw...seeing our tenant, Mu Qing..."

"Mu Qing?"

"The remains of..."

"Ah? It's...so pitiful..." Rongrong covered her face and wept.

"Don't be sad."

"Husband, how can she live in our house, she has some fate with us, let's help her find relatives!"

"Well, that's for sure."

Wu Ma is an elderly mother-in-law. Seeing the sad couple, she stepped forward to comfort her: "Hey, life and death are impermanent. Let's take it easy. If we can escape this flood, we should live well, right?"

The emotions of the couple eased up a bit, and Rongrong continued to do the housework at hand, and suddenly felt sick, and retched non-stop.Du Hao hurriedly patted her on the back, and asked with concern: "You've been like this... for a few days, right?"

"Well, since I was rescued that day, I just..." Rongrong vomited again, and continued, "At first I thought it was just pouring dirty water, but who knew it would never get better..."

"No, I'll take you to the medical station tomorrow!"

And Wu Ma was watching from the side, and after confirming, she said: "Well, let's go and have a look, it's probably there!"

"Ah?" Du Hao was dumbfounded.

"No... no way, we've been married for five years, and we haven't..."

"Wow, I'm going to be a father!" Du Hao danced like a child, he picked up Rongrong and spun around several times.

"Quickly put it down...not sure!"

"Well, I think it's about the same—but..." Wu Ma hesitated, but seeing the questioning eyes of the husband and wife, she continued, "Speaking of which, I got pregnant just after the flood, and it's probably... yes The water ghost reincarnated!"

"Ah..." Rong Rong couldn't help turning pale, and plunged into Du Hao's arms.

But Du Hao comforted: "Don't be afraid, I don't believe in ghosts. Besides, what if it's a water ghost reincarnated, it's a ghost before it's reincarnated, and it's our child after reincarnation. That's a human being. We have to love it well." ,do you think so?"

Rongrong smiled relievedly when she heard what Du Hao said, and said, "I really hope that Mu Qing will be reincarnated as our child, but isn't it said that the water ghost will be a wandering soul for three years..."

"Hey, let me tell you, don't always think about water ghosts and water ghosts, think about what to name your child!"
