Chapter 508 Be Good Like Climbing, Be Evil Like Falling, Looking for?motherly side

Finding a spare key didn't go well.

I searched at the counter of the shopkeeper, but only found some account books, but did not find the key.

These account books are all empty, and the paper is yellow, indicating that no one has touched it for a long time.

Although there was no expression on Aping's paper pierced face, he said in a disappointed tone: "The spare key should not be here, but has been carried by the shopkeeper all the time."

Jin An didn't answer A Ping's words right away, but stared carefully at a lamp oil on the counter.

A Ping asked what was wrong, Jin An was still staring at the lamp oil, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Do you feel anything unusual about this floor?"

A Ping didn't know the meaning of Jin An's words. After thinking about it, he shook his head. Jin An raised his finger and pointed to the lamp oil in front of him: "When we were on the second floor, all the candles were artificially extinguished. We guessed that the person who came down from the third floor I don’t like bright lights, right? So it makes sense that the candles and lanterns in the lobby on the first floor were extinguished artificially. However, all the lights and candles on the first floor were extinguished, but this lamp oil was not extinguished. Is the building too conspicuous?"

Jin An recognized this lamp oil. When the shopkeeper took them up to the second floor to look at the room, he brought this lamp oil to light the way.

Just when Jin An touched the lamp socket, suddenly, his mind exploded, and he saw a brightly lit inn with many people staying.

In this inn, everyone gets along with each other in harmony. The shopkeeper of the inn is not the shopkeeper who has eyes and no eyes, but an old man who smiles very kindly. This kind shopkeeper will smile kindly to every guest staying in the shop. He even kindly took the leftovers that he couldn't eat every day and gave them to beggars on the roadside.Anyone who has stayed in this inn has all praised the character of the shopkeeper.

That day.

It is the depths of winter.

There is white snow floating in the sky.

A little girl in thin clothes who was malnourished due to hunger stood in front of a stall selling breakfast with a hungry stomach.

In the cold winter, she wears a pair of tattered, crude and ugly straw sandals on her feet.

Those straw sandals looked like they were clumsily woven by a child. They were not beautiful at all, even ugly, and they were not windproof. The little girl's feet turned red from the cold.

She is cold and hungry.

His thin body was shivering in the cold wind, so lonely and helpless.

She looked pitifully at the steaming steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and soy milk that had been put on the table earlier, and then turned away in the cold wind with her hands covering her hungry stomach, because she couldn't pay for it.

As a result, just as she turned around, she was knocked down by an adult. She was thin and thin, like a frightened lamb. It was obviously not her fault. She lowered her head cowardly and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... "

But the grown-up didn't feel pity for her at all because she was a little girl. Instead, he scolded the little girl even more severely, scolding the little girl for staining his clothes.

The little girl was so violently shaken by the adults, her red and swollen little finger was aggrieved and wiped her tears in the cold wind, she kept bowing her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I really didn't mean it... I was too hungry just now, No, didn't stand firm, sorry, sorry..."

The adult saw that the little beggar in front of him didn't seem to be able to afford the money, so he cursed bad luck, and finally left cursing.

The little girl timidly wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and then carefully lifted up the thin trousers. She just fell down and hit the roadside steps, her knees were red, her eyes were red, and she exhaled a few breaths of hot air towards her knees.

The snow in the sky is still falling.

She obviously did nothing wrong, but people in this world are criticizing her. The shop thinks that a beggar at the door hinders business and drives her away.

"I'm sorry, sorry... I... I'm so hungry that I don't have the energy to walk... I, I'll go right away, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The little girl limply stood up from the ground, because she was afraid of being scolded again, her immature and timid voice couldn't stop. She kept apologizing, her head lowered even lower, she didn't dare to look at the world of adults, and she didn't dare to look up with envious eyes at the happy family of three who just passed by her.

Just as she was about to leave, the clumsily woven straw sandals stepped on something in the snow under her feet. It was a money bag, which was dropped on the ground by the adult who knocked her down just now. With the money in the bag, she went to the breakfast stand next to her to buy steaming breakfast. She was kind and clean, holding the money bag, her ten fingers were red and swollen from the cold in winter, and she walked on her short, limping legs in the cold. In the wind and snow, I want to chase the owner.

Before she could take a few steps, she was delighted to see the owner returning to look for the purse. She was just about to hand over the purse with joy, but the other party snatched the purse and pushed it to the ground: "Okay! It really is You stole my purse! I thought you were pitiful just now, you stinky beggar, if you are good, don’t learn, learn how others steal, I will send you, a beggar, to jail in the yamen today!"

The little girl who was as helpless as a weed by the side of the road explained in a flustered voice: "I, I didn't steal anything, I...I picked up this purse, and I want to return it to you, uncle..."

"Please don't take me to the yamen, uncle, I'm really not a thief..."

She lowered her head timidly, with tears in her eyes, frightened and trembling, looking very pitiful.

But the adult didn't listen to her explanation at all, he grabbed her and insisted on arresting her and sending her to the Yamen to go to jail.

At this time, more people gathered around to watch the fun, some were indifferent, some had nothing to do with them, and some kind-hearted people couldn't see it and stood up to speak well for the little girl, but the person holding the little girl still refused Let go and insist on sending the little girl to the Yamen to go to jail.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn came out and took the initiative to guarantee the little girl, saying that he saw very clearly just now that the little girl was knocked down by the man himself, and he lost the purse. He, on the contrary, he slandered a little girl indiscriminately as soon as he came up.

Everyone trusted the shopkeeper’s usual behavior, and even the residents in the inn also took the initiative to speak up for the shopkeeper, saying that they saw that the other party bumped into the little girl. There were more and more, and I couldn't hold back my face anymore. After scolding the little girl casually, I turned my head and left in a hurry.

The shopkeeper squatted down, like a kind elder, and patted the little girl's head lovingly. He didn't think the little girl was dirty at all, and said in a gentle voice: "You are a kind and good boy, I have seen what happened just now. Yes, I came a few steps late and made you feel wronged."

The little girl hadn't come out of the psychological shadow of being frightened just now, she lowered her head timidly: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Gululu, just after the little girl finished speaking, her stomach made a sound of hunger, and the shopkeeper once again pampered her head: "Hungry, grandpa will take you to a bowl of hot noodle soup."

This time the little girl finally raised her head, looked gratefully at the kind and kind old man in front of her, her eyes were full of hope but then went out: "Okay... But, I don't have any money."

The shopkeeper was touched by the little girl's pity and understanding, and said softly: "No money, grandpa treats you to food."

"Thank you, grandpa." The little girl nodded obediently.

"I haven't begged for food for several days."

The shopkeeper took the little girl back to the inn, and he didn't think the little girl was dirty, so he asked her to sit down at the dining table in the lobby, and then asked the kitchen to cook some hot food for the little girl. Little girl puts on.

The other diners sitting in the lobby of the inn were also tolerant towards the little girl, and did not show disgust because she was a beggar. On the contrary, they stood up together to speak for the little girl and the shopkeeper.

The little girl seemed to be very hungry. With a small body, she ate a few bowls of hot noodle soup before she was finally full. She put down the adult's bowl, wiped the oil stains on the corner of her mouth with her hand, and accidentally stained the shopkeeper's coat, and quickly bowed her head to apologize. : "I'm sorry grandpa, I dirty your clothes, I, I will wash them for you, grandpa, where is there well water on your side, I will wash grandpa's clothes right away."

The shopkeeper looked at the little girl whose ten fingers were red and swollen from the cold, and smiled kindly, "You don't need to wash it."

Then he inquired about the little girl's life experience, and asked her why she was alone, and where was her hometown?

The little girl lowered her head in a depressed mood: "I don't know where I come from. As long as I can remember, I've been walking along the road."

Shopkeeper: "Are you alone all the way?"

Holding the big bowl in her little hand, the little girl shook her head sadly: "In the past, there were a few kind-hearted people like you, grandpa, who took me to beg along the way, but every winter, many people would never wake up after falling asleep, and I was the only one left. "

Hey.

The shopkeeper sighed: "You should be about the same age as my granddaughter. I didn't expect to have experienced so much suffering."

The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously: "Grandpa, where is your granddaughter?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "She lives in Fucheng with her parents, and does not live with me."

The shopkeeper saw that the little girl's background was so pitiful, so he decided to adopt her: "If you are homeless, why not just stay with me, and you won't have to wander around anymore."

The little girl opened her eyes wide, her kind and clear pupils were covered with water vapor, and then big teardrops fell down.

She jumped off the stool and bowed gratefully to the shopkeeper: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Then he raised his head and said obediently: "Don't worry, grandpa, I can wash clothes, I can sweep the floor, I can also mop the floor, I won't be lazy, and I won't live for nothing."

There was an extra granddaughter, and the shopkeeper laughed happily: "If you call me grandpa, then she is my granddaughter. Just leave these things to the adults. Children should be innocent and happy every day. it is good."

In this way, the little girl stayed in the inn and became the granddaughter of the shopkeeper.

The little girl is very kind and sensible. She didn't take other people's kindness for granted. She got up early every day to sweep and mop the floor, and cleaned the inn very well. This is to repay my favor.

Even the tenants in the store fell in love with this light-hearted and sensible little girl. They all praised the shopkeeper for having a good granddaughter.

The wandering little girl seems to have a stable and happy home. This inn full of great love represents the kindness of the world. Mother's good side, until a fire burned all these good thoughts.

The fire was set on purpose. Amidst the thick smoke, the little girl was the first to wake up. She woke up the shopkeeper in a panic, and then ran to wake up other tenants.

But the fire was so big that no one could escape, and even the little girl missed the best chance to escape because of saving lives.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, at the critical moment of life and death, everyone still had the last bit of kindness in their hearts. They wanted to save the little girl and send the little girl out. They didn't want the kind-hearted little girl to die here in vain with them.

then.

In the dense smoke that could not tell the direction, everyone hid the little girl in a closet, trying to use the closet to block the fire and send the little girl out.

At last.

Except for the little girl, everyone in the inn was burned to death in a fire, and dozens of people were all burned to death in the fire.

Because too many people were killed in the fire, the government was afraid of taking responsibility, and did not investigate carefully, so it was determined that the fire was improperly used, not arson.

But in fact, this fire was set on fire by human beings. Where there are good thoughts in the world, there are evil thoughts. Some people are eyeing this inn full of good thoughts, so they want to break the good thoughts in the world with their own hands, and fall from good to evil. This is the greatest despair , can lead to monstrous evil thoughts and grievances, and refine the heinous corpse oil.

From good to den, from evil to collapse.

It is difficult to do good, but once an honest person falls into the evil ghost way, he will be as swift and violent as the sky falling apart.

However, there is only one person missing in the corpse oil collected by the arsonist behind the scenes. As long as that person is still alive, the souls of the dead in the corpse oil cannot all fall into evil thoughts. belief.

And this most critical kindness is the little girl who was hidden.

In order to find this little girl, the arsonist behind the scenes specially bought this haunted inn where dozens of people were burned to death. Under the guise of reopening the inn, they actually searched for the little girl who was hidden every day, so as to complete the heinous crime. corpse oil.

It was precisely because of this that this inn attracted so many villains to gather.

When you are in a hell full of sins, the only remaining good thoughts become the greatest evil.

Everyone wanted to find that little girl, thinking that as long as they devoured that little girl, they would be able to improve their strength.

And the arsonist back then, the person behind the scenes who wanted to refine the ten evil corpse oils, was the shopkeeper with eyes but no eyes. His eyes only disappeared after becoming the shopkeeper.

……

……

"What's the matter, Daoist Jin'an?" Seeing that Jin'an was suddenly in a daze, Ah Ping hurriedly asked concerned when he saw that Jin'an had finally let go of the lamp holder he had been holding on to.

Jin An looked at the flickering flames in front of him with a complicated expression, and he sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

He told the two of them in detail what he had just seen. After hearing the truth, A Ping, who hated the child's suffering the most, cursed with a murderous look in his eyes: "It's not as good as a beast."

Then, A Ping said with a look of unbearable eyes: "Master Jin'an, you said that these lamp oils are the corpse oil of the victims. Doesn't that mean that the victims of that year, even if they died, were still being burned by the flames every day?" suffering? They are so pitiful, let us extinguish this lamp oil and give them a relief."

However, Jin An shook his head to stop A Ping's reckless move to turn off the lights.

Facing the puzzled eyes, Jin An explained: "This lamp oil is not only the soul of the burning person, but also the good thoughts of the burning person. Once we extinguish this lamp oil, it is equivalent to extinguishing the family. The last sliver of kindness in the inn, I am afraid that these victims who have been suffering from soul refining day and night will have no hope of turning back."

"This lamp oil is very vicious. It not only gives people hope, but also destroys people's hope a little bit every day. The hope and belief that these people have been holding on to is the little girl who was safely hidden by them back then. Once we extinguish Burning this lamp oil is tantamount to extinguishing the belief they have been holding on to. The result is not only to push the inn into the abyss of despair that will never be bright, and there will be no more good thoughts, only the purest evil, and others will I will never find the little girl who hides in the inn and represents the good side of humanity."

In fact, there was still a word in Jin An's heart that he didn't say.

If the little girl representing the good side of human nature is the ghost mother, maybe this is the reason why the ghost mother brought them into the nightmare, hoping that they would find the little girl and rescue the little girl trapped in the inn.

He already understood a little bit, the purpose of those two Xiaoshizhuang veterans coming here was probably to find the little girl.

At this time, Ah Ping also tried to touch the lamp oil, but he didn't see anything, no matter whether he changed his left hand or his right hand, nothing happened.

Even the red-clothed umbrella woman's paper piercing person did not experience any abnormalities.

"This lamp oil is born from the good and evil of human nature. It can go straight to people's hearts and follow the good. The girl in red has no human heart, and A Ping, you are full of hatred in your heart and don't trust people easily. Maybe this is what you see. There is a good side to human nature." Jin An guessed after thinking.

A Ping did not refute, his heart could no longer be distracted from other things besides revenge and finding the lost child: "Then Daoist Jin'an, what should we do next?"

Jin'an: "Take this lamp oil to fulfill the unfulfilled last wishes of the shopkeeper and the tenants, find the little girl, and take her out of the inn together."

"Okay." No extra words.

Next, the three of them, one mouse and one lamp oil, planned to walk back to the second floor, but just as Jin An arrived at the stairs, he was about to step up the steps when he saw a figure crouching behind the railing of the stairs on the second floor, sneaking towards him. Look around.

At this moment, several pairs of eyes happened to meet.

The figure of the other party flashed and fled back to the room. Jin An didn't hesitate, and rushed straight up.

But the red-clothed umbrella girl pierced people faster than Jin An.

The tenant of the No. [-] guest room with the word "Lai" on the second floor has just fled back to the guest room, before closing the door, bang!

The red umbrella smashed through the wooden door, and the red umbrella seemed to bring a huge force into it. When the wooden door was smashed into a sky full of wood debris, the people behind the door were also thrown out, and their backs hit the wall heavily, and they were paralyzed.

The red-clothed umbrella girl who has made a paper piercing man is no longer what she used to be, and no one can stop her on the second floor.

At this moment, Jin An had just run up to the second floor.
