The ancients said: In autumn, the mountains are cold and the water is cold, and in spring, the willows are green and the flowers are red. As for this winter, it can only be said that the chills and cicadas are miserable, and their voices are also sad.
Every year at the end of the year when the weather is cold, Wang Xu’s child born in midsummer feels weak all over the body. He spends more and more time in bed in the morning. He skips class as soon as he can, and several times he is nowhere to be seen at noon. .
The days have been relatively peaceful recently. Since Osiris finished receiving the lunch box, the supernatural events in City S have almost disappeared. The ghosts and ghosts seem to have gone to a distant place for vacation, leaving a deserted lonely city.
But in other words, this is also good news, there are no ghosts to catch, the world is peaceful, people in the world are free to torture themselves to death, anyway, as a ghost hunter, Wang Xu just happens to be at leisure.
One day in December, Master Cat rushed into Wang Xu's bedroom early in the morning. Anyway, door locks were like children's toys to him, and they couldn't stop his intrusion at all.
Master Cat unscrupulously lifted Wang Xu's quilt: "Get up, I have something to tell you."
Wang Xu was frozen like a dead fish, curled up in a ball and shivered, moaning: "Be... quilt..."
Fifteen minutes later, they were sitting in the cafeteria.
Holding a bowl of hot wontons, Wang Xu breathed in the long-lost morning air. His eyes were full of displeasure: "What's the matter? My blood sugar is very low in the morning. Will I faint after hearing this?"
"This card was opened in your name." Master Cat said and handed over a passbook with a bank card inside: "The password is the last few digits of your ID card."
Wang Xu took it with a dull expression, thought about it for about five seconds, and then replied, "Tell me, ammunition, drugs, or counterfeit money?"
"I'm not asking you to launder money."
"Is that financial fraud?"
Master Cat covered his face helplessly and shook his head: "I have helped you get this card since the day you worked in the Supernatural Detective Agency, and now, I think it's time for you to keep it for yourself. The bonuses received, the rewards for multiple missions, etc., all add up to a very impressive number."
Wang Xu stared at Master Cat up and down: "Who are you? What's your plan to pretend to be Master Cat?"
Master Cat sighed, stood up slowly, and turned around: "When the chicks have full wings, it is the best choice to kick them out of the nest, and we cannot let them get used to living under the huge wings. under the shadow of the shadow." He took a step and walked out: "I am always carrying a lot of things on my own, and I have always been like this, and whenever I think I have finally let go of some, I look back at my shoulders, Unknowingly, there is a new burden...
So, this time I will not go back. "
Wang Xu was eating wontons, her eyes were sleepy and her expression was numb. But in the end, he still said, "Leave the rest to me."
Master Cat did not look back, he just waved his hand and left Wang Xu's sight.
…
In January of the following year, on a freezing day, Master Cat's son was born.
In Wang Xu's words, it is called the devil descending into the world, and the world is in turmoil ever since...
What's weird is that the number of supernatural events in City S also increased again after that day, and it can be regarded as returning to normal.
…
One day in March of the same year.
Still in the cafeteria, Wang Xu looked like he was strolling in the courtyard, carrying his lunch, and squeezed into the seat between the two "girlfriends".
Both Shang Lingxue and Yan Li squinted at him, saying the same lines: "Fat Chun, right?"
Wang Xu quietly took out a book from his pocket: "I recently bought a property outside the school, with three bedrooms and one living room, not too far from the school, because I have to repay the loan to the bank, so I asked my roommate for two Name, food, water and electricity are shared equally, and the rent is negotiable.”
The two beauties stared at the real estate certificate in his hand, their expressions changed several times, and then...they said to Wang Xu with their eyes at the same time: "Don't think we don't know what you're up to."
Yan Li spoke first: "I live in a good place, and the school dormitory is also good, so I'm not interested."
Shang Lingxue also said: "The landlord is too wretched, it's too dangerous for a girl to live in me."
Wang Xu snorted coldly, their reactions were completely expected, he already had a backhand.
I saw this guy take out another stack of things from his arms, cleared his throat, and said very calmly: "The United Arab Emirates, the full name is the United Arab Emirates, located in the east of the Arabian Peninsula, known as the flower in the desert..."
Shang Lingxue felt a little baffled: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Wang Xu waved his hand to signal her not to interrupt, and continued: "The UAE pursues a foreign policy of neutrality and non-alignment. It adheres to a peaceful diplomacy of good-neighborliness and friendship." At this point, he pointed to the document on the table: " I entrusted some connections, um... When I said connections, I might refer to agencies like the NSA in the United States, who helped me go through some procedures, and then got some documents, all in all... "
Yan Li finally came to her senses at this time: "Wait... I remember that the United Arab Emirates is one of the countries where polygamy..."
Wang Xu replied with a smile: "Ah~ you know it too, so it's much easier to explain. And I found that their country is very liberal about the age of marriage. Come, take a pen, you two just need to sign here and here." A name..." He said recklessly, completely ignoring the two eyes that could kill people.
On this day, Wang Xu was repaired miserably, but he finally "invited" these two roommates. The whole thing actually looked like borrowing money. Wang Xu first asked to borrow five thousand, but he was ignored, and then he proposed a plan, like selling a kidney or something... So in the end, he got the five thousand.
…
June, wedding.
The names of the bride and groom are written on the door of the church, Gu Chen, Shui Yingyao.
That's right, they have already received their marriage certificates, and their children are almost half a year old. But Lord Cat felt that he owed his wife a wedding.
Today, William is dressed in a black suit, wearing a headset, and holding a handheld computer, commanding the overall situation domineeringly.
"The wedding car is ready? Very good, I see; hello? Oh, I can hear you, how is the hotel? Are they all in place? Okay, remember, table number three is the name plate that says At the table of Wang Xu, Liu Hang, and Elbert, every dish has to be served in double portions, and things like abalone must be in multiples of three. What? Ah, I know, that’s right , there are only three people at this table..."
Wang Xu heard his words clearly and plainly from a distance, but he didn't lose his temper, he just stood there dumbfounded.
It's not that he doesn't want to have a fit, it's really inconvenient; he's wearing a priest's robe and a childcare brace, and Master Cat's son is lying on Wang Xu's back, sucking his thumb, and staring around with dead fish eyes.
Master Cat walked up to him: "Is Xiao Yan still good?"
"It's not once or twice that your bad boy rides on my neck to shit... Today he is quite peaceful."
"Oh... that's right, by the way, are you sure that the priest qualification you got online is okay?"
"You are already husband and wife in law, in fact, and in life. Even if I have a problem, it will not affect your plan to cheat for marriage leave this time."
Master Mao said earnestly: "This is not a fake marriage. You have to understand that basically every girl starts looking forward to a perfect wedding when they are twelve years old. Although my wife doesn't say it, she still looks forward to it in my heart. Made it up for her."
In the middle of their conversation, Duan Fei suddenly came up to him: "Ah... Long time no see, Ripper, eh? Is this your son, he really looks like you." His eyes suddenly became sharp: "It's not cute at all... "
Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered these words, the young master of the Gu family actually cast a very disdainful look at him, then snorted coldly in a baby's voice, turned his head to one side, and continued to suck his fingers...
"Hey! What did this kid do just now! Have I been despised by him! Your son is only a few months old and can do such an annoying move!"
Master Cat looked at Duan Fei with disgust: "Huh? Who are you? Did I invite you? Did you come to the wedding venue because you want to go to the hotel with the car for dinner?"
"You want to enter the funeral home in a wedding car, don't you! Scum!" Duan Fei replied.
"Oh, I remembered, you are the new Qianfeng and Chujiang King...Master Ning Feng...the second brother!" Master Mao paused twice in this sentence, and he was sure that he could bring people back to life. Angry slot: "I'm sorry, there are only soy sauce characters in less than ten chapters in total, and I can't remember the name for a while."
"You really dare to mention it! My appearance should have surpassed Chapter 10! Aren't you in a half-soy state in the ninth volume!" Duan Fei yelled, while being clamped and pulled by Wei Chi behind him gone.
Wei Chi still acted like an honest man, procrastinating and saying to Duan Fei: "Xiao Fei, listen to brother-in-law, don't quarrel with the groom, and you can't quarrel with him."
Wang Xu watched them drift away, the corner of his mouth twitched and said, "Speaking of which, this super soy sauce is the real prostitute in life..."
"Hey, Wang Xu, long time no see." The He brothers and Sun Xiaozheng also came, and He Wencheng was the first to come forward to say hello, and the second sentence changed the whole conversation: " What, is there a 'virgin area' specially set up for the wedding?"
This sarcasm was originally aimed at Wang Xu who was born wearing a priest's costume and had a baby boy on his back. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the eyes of Wang Xu and Gu Yan were assimilated, and they both threw at He Wencheng at the same time. A disdainful look of contempt, then a cold snort, tilted his head to the other side.
"Hey! Your son has only been able to make such an annoying move in a few months! What's the matter with this sense of coordination?! Has he been assimilated by staying with the lunatic for too long?!"
Master Mao shrugged, as if he was not ashamed of his son's current behavior, but rather proud of it: "I have tried many times, except for parents, only when Wang Xu carries him on his back can he appear calmer, while others will hold him. crying, so Wang Xu spends more time as a volunteer nanny."
"Wow! Great Immortal Jiang! You're really here!" Wang Xu happened to see Jiang Ru entering the church at this time, and immediately rushed towards him: "How is the Immortal recently? Is there any news about current affairs? Gossip ? An exclusive prophecy?"
Jiang Ru smirked, rubbing the back of his head with one hand: "Hehe... Wang Xu, you are still the same." Then, he greeted him with a smile and said: "Well... I really can't tell you about the next lottery lottery. prize number."
"Hey... trash." Wang Xu turned his head and left.
"Hehe... this... this attitude of daring to love and hate really makes people a little angry." Jiang Ru's smile became awkward.
"Okay, everyone, please listen to me." William raised a loudspeaker, walked to the middle of the church and said, "Since the groom has no family members, the bride has only one family member, and he will be the best man. Therefore, the seat In this arrangement, the gentlemen sit on the groom's side, and the ladies sit on the bride's side."
Wang Xu yawned, but William didn't listen to a word, and it had nothing to do with him anyway. He's a pastor and basically has to stand.
He simply took out the prepared manuscript from his pocket and tried to review it one last time.
Master Cat once said that if you want to kill Wang Xu, prepare a stack of papers, staple them together, and write all over them, and he will be done in a short time.
But this time the manuscript was written by Wang Xu himself. In terms of content, in addition to the oath and questioning that traditional Western-style weddings should have, Wang Xu spent a night writing two paragraphs. The first is to introduce the bride: she is beautiful and dignified; she is elegant, noble, and beautiful, and she is simply created by God secretly behind his wife's back. She can marry a doctor, lawyer, art master, hero, king of any known or unknown space, no one is worthy of her.
Look at the groom again, a complete bastard, mean, insidious, and cynical; he is decadent, shameless, and has no limit, and he has escaped from the bottom of Satan's prison. Any woman marrying him is like jumping into a bottomless pit of fire...
Wang Xu looked at the manuscript in his hand, sighed deeply, finally crumpled it into a ball, and burned it with black fire.
He turned his face and said to Gu Yan on his back: "Shanzi, you and I encourage each other, let's work together to become such a reliable bastard."
The final chapter says goodbye with a smile
"Oops, oh, oh..." Shui Yun ran to Master Cat like a fly without his head: "Brother-in-law, I seem to have forgotten your ring at home."
"Ha! I knew that the best man who didn't even make it to the bachelor party is like this..." Liu Hang popped up gleefully and complained.
Master Mao still looked calm: "Are you still struggling with whether it's a striptease? You should understand that holding that kind of traditional bachelor party may bring us disaster."
Wang Xu stood aside and said with vacant eyes: "The wedding is about to start in less than 20 minutes. If you can't find the ring, it will be a disaster for you..."
"Okay, okay, calm down, Xiaogu, don't let the girls see it, yes, just like this, wipe off the sweat. Remember that you are the best man, so be calm." Master Cat is definitely at the level of a movie king, with no expression on his face He pretended to be fine and whispered: "Wang Xu, walk out of the church quietly and quickly, then rush to my house to find the ring, and come back as fast as possible. Anyway, you are carrying Xiaoyan on your back, so it will cause trouble when you go out." Mind you, people will think you're just taking him for a diaper change or something."
"Sure enough, he is a master of high-speed mass-production tricks. Is my son's physical phenomenon being used as a cover..." Although Wang Xu said so, he still obeyed the instructions in action.
He walked out of the church with a child on his back and wearing a clergyman's robe. His image was actually silly, and he was sure to be watched on the street.
But as soon as he walked out of the church, Wang Xu was stunned. The courtyard and the driveway outside had changed into an open area. It was clearly only two or three o'clock in the afternoon just now, but now the sky was red with the setting sun.
The boundless land is connected to the distant sky, as if this is an empty world.
But less than ten meters away from Wang Xu's eyes, there was a lonely park bench lying there, which looked very eye-catching. He walked forward like a ghost, took off the ancient bag on his back, and put it on the bench. At this moment, the child fell asleep with his thumb in his mouth.
Wang Xu himself sat there, waiting quietly, he didn't know what he was waiting for.
But it waited.
On the horizon, a man appeared, wearing a T-shirt and trousers, riding a children's tricycle, walking slowly. His face was blurred against the background of the setting sun. It is difficult to see its appearance.
Mr. Shen also sat on the bench, he and Wang Xu sat at the two ends, and in the middle was Young Master Gu Yan who was lying soundly asleep.
"Are you the one who came to ask me the answer?" Wang Xu asked.
"Needless to say, I know that you have already made a choice." God replied.
"Hey! Is this mysterious tone imitating "Matrix"? Your next sentence shouldn't be, the point is why you choose this way?"
God sneered: "Of course the reason why you chose this way is..." He looked up at the sky, and said righteously: "3P is every man's dream." Then he lowered his head to Wang Xu: "Is it?"
Wang Xu was startled: "Suddenly, he changed the subject and completely refreshed his lower limit! What kind of god are you!"
Shendao: "You just have to remember that God treats you well and doesn't ask for anything in return, that's fine." He waved his hands and threw the two rings to Wang Xu, then got up and returned to his car.
Wang Xu caught the ring and said, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I think at least for a long time, I'll leave you alone and you can 'live happily ever after.'"
Wang Xu smiled, and he asked, "Then should I say goodbye, or shall I say goodbye forever?"
God turned his head and said: "Hmph... This question is not for you to ask. I can let you have two boats, but I can't reveal any future.
Two years ago, you were nobody and nothing. But now, in the church behind you, there are your classmates, comrades, gay friends, girlfriends, and those guys without souls are also your friends, aren't they
These are not given to you by me, although I used to think so, but now I have to say, you are no longer 'nothing', you have won all this by yourself, you have your own world, your life.
As you once said, I can decide whether you live or die, but I can no longer decide whether you cry or laugh. "
Wang Xu let out a long breath, stood up, and put on the ancient bag again: "Then, I will say goodbye to you with a smile, Mr. God."
Shen stepped on the small three-wheeled wheel and gradually went away. At the end, he couldn't help shouting: "Don't get carried away! I will be back sooner or later!"
"Hey! The result is revealed!"
