Chapter 334 Eat Fish

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, auspicious day.

A red lantern hangs at the door, and Po sits at the table, eating fish made by mother.

He is a six-year-old boy, clean and white, wearing red new clothes, like a fat baby in a New Year’s picture, and the Uncle aunts in Shiliba Village dote on him.

The mother especially spoiled him.

Because Po likes to eat fish, mother cooks fish for him every three days. If you can’t afford it, the mother will go to the river to fish it. When it’s done, he has to pick the thorn cautiously before letting Bao eat it.

The fish is ready and served, steaming hot.

A Bao was full of anticipation, picked up his chopsticks, took a large piece of meat from the belly of the fish, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The reason why A Bao was greedy at first was not because he was greedy, but because he was a filial child. Mother previously said that she likes fish heads and tails the most, so Bao always keeps the meat of the head and tail for mother.

It was just that Po was eating and felt a little strange. He raised his head and asked, “Mother, why does this fish taste strange when you make it today?”

“Yes Is it…”

The mother’s voice was faint, “What’s so strange?”

“It just feels…no smell.” Bao frowned.

Mother’s voice seemed a little nervous, “A Bao doesn’t like it?”

“Well…” A Bao thought for a while, then smiled and said, “As long as it is made by mother I like all fish!”

“A Bao is such a good child.” The mother praised.

But…

A Bao suddenly felt that it wasn’t just the fish that was weird, it seemed that today’s mother was weird too.

She was all wet, the ends of her hair and the corners of her clothes even seemed to be dripping water, dripping on the chopping board and the ground, making a ticking sound.

In the past, mother always smiled when she talked to him, but today, for some reason, her loose hair was covering half of her face, and she didn’t seem to have a smile at all.

Although she was still wearing the simple green clothes, still wearing that apron, but when A Bao looked at her, she suddenly felt not as warm as usual, and a little colder.

But he’s still trying to eat.

The mother likes to watch him eat in a big mouth, it is said that this can make him grow taller. So every time he eats, he pretends to eat deliciously, even if it is not so fragrant sometimes.

There is a big red lantern hanging outside the door, and new Spring Festival couplets are on both sides of the door. Inside the door is a white doll eating fish, and a wet woman stands and watches.

A lovely sight.

A gust of wind blows over and blows the red lantern at the door.

A Bao shuddered, looked up and said, “Mother, I’m so cold.”

“Really?”

The mother looked at him with concern , seems to want to extend the hand to touch his head, but he stretched it half way, then retracted back, as if he didn’t dare to touch it.

“Be good, Bao, eat more, it won’t be cold if you have something in your stomach.”

“Okay…” Bao nodded again.

The mother looked at Po, and her voice suddenly fluctuated.

“A Bao is such a good child…”

“Even without mother…”

“Mother what did you say What?” Po raised his head, his lips were a little purple, “Po can’t live without a mother.”

……

A thin, rickety, oddly dressed old woman cuffed her hands. Standing outside the door, looking at the sky and the candles in the red lantern, Faintly said: “It’s time…”

It seemed like there was a gust of wind blowing, and it seemed like there was no, but the lantern The fire inside was quickly extinguished.

Inside the house.

A Bao’s hand suddenly stopped, his teeth were chattering coldly, and he said in a trembling voice: “mother…I’m cold…”

With this moan, Abao Bao’s silhouette suddenly faded, and then it seemed to gradually fade, and it disappeared.

And the fish on the table was completely there, as if it had never been moved from start to finish.

“A Bao…My A Bao…”

The woman with loose hair couldn’t hold it any longer, she covered her face and started crying.

She hid her face and cried for a while before staggering out of the room.

The old woman outside the door just put away the red lantern and held it in her hand.

As soon as the woman grabbed her hand, she pleaded, “Sister Zhang, please, let me see A Bao again tomorrow night, okay?”

“A Bao Niang Ah, I also know your situation, if you want to get a fish, you have to go to the river to catch it, and it is like this in the winter…” The old woman shook her head, “Where do you have any money?”

“My family is indeed out of money…” The woman burst into tears, “But I can’t live without A Bao! Goddess Zhang, please, let me see him again, okay?”

p>

“This…” The old woman looked embarrassed, “This is something that hurts the world. If I do too much, I will lose my life expectancy! To be honest, if it weren’t for you being so pitiful, I would Will not do this kind of thing for you, you should still mourn.”

“Zhang Shenfu…” The woman knelt on the ground and grabbed the corner of the old woman’s clothes tightly.

“That’s it.” The old woman hesitated for a while, then said, “A Bao’s soul will not dissipate within seven, seven or forty Nine Heavens. You only need to collect five silvers in forty Nine Heavens. Tael, I can let you see him again.”

“Ah? Goddess Zhang, where do people like me go to gather five silver taels!” The woman panicked.

“That’s out of my control.” The old woman put away her hand, turned around, and said slowly, “If it doesn’t work, then I can only persuade you to sympathize with you. “

“Zhang Shenfu…”

The woman’s mourning came from behind, but the old woman ignored it and walked all the way.

……

The old woman was carrying a lantern that didn’t burn, walking alone on the forest road in the mountain village. She was walking, and suddenly there was a fright in the front. Voice.

There was a hint of vigilance on her aged face.

After taking a few more steps, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

“Which friend did you come from? Please come out and tell the truth, why hide your head and show your tail?” the old woman slowly said.

“hehe…”

A gloomy laugh came from the forest.

“You old woman, you imprison the dead soul of other people’s children, and let her use up all her wealth to come to meet, aren’t you afraid of going down to the underworld and getting retribution?”

“What did you say? What?” The old woman also sneered, “The woman dotes on the child, and every time she picks out the fishbone for her son to eat, so that the son doesn’t even know that the fish has spines. The child was choked alive by the fishbone only if she didn’t pick it clean once. She is full of self-blame and has no interest in life. I just gave her some thoughts of living, what is the retribution?”

“You are so articulate.” The voice replied: ” That woman’s thought to live is her son’s dead soul, so what kind of dead soul do you want to live on?”

“What farts are you putting on?” The old woman’s eyebrows sank, “who the hell are you? What do you want to do?”

“Nothing…I just want to ask you, do you want to avenge the dead soul you miss…”

Lin Zhong Chuan There was a rustling sound, and a small silhouette floated out of the trees.

“There is a soul Gu Master from Southern Border who just went to Divine Luo City to collect his due reward and was killed by a Little Daoist Priest unreasonably. You… don’t want to avenge him. Is it?”

The silhouette was only palm-size, and it looked like a little person carved out of wood, with a crying or laughing expression on her face, which was extremely evil.

The old woman saw it, stared at it for two seconds, and suddenly said in shock: “I recognize you! You are… the wooden king of the Yanyue Sect!”

There are still some new years Tired, hard to code a chapter, ah…
