Sang Tong opened his eyes suddenly, but Sang Yu was still asleep.
She put away the four-square travel deed, took out the glass bottle wrapped in red cloth from the drawer, walked to the living room, and let Ah Miao out.
The wet Ah Meow floated out, and just about to speak, I saw Sang Tong staring at her with stern eyes, with a slight curve on his lips, and his index finger in front of his mouth.
Ah Meow shivered, covered her mouth with her hands, and nodded desperately.
Sang Tong smiled and said softly: "I like smart people."
That night, Mu Rong was woken up by the alarm, and handed over his body to Ah Miao. His real soul floated out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Not far away, I saw Hao Jiefang on the only way.
Seeing Mu Rong, Hao Jiefang stamped out the cigarette butt and waved enthusiastically.
"How did you come?"
"Help you!"
"No need."
"Tsk, you are a real person. You must have accumulated a lot of souls after going to the underworld and recuperating for so many days. One more person will give you more power."
"I appreciate your kindness. This is my own business."
Mu Rong's tone was calm, and his expression was indifferent.
"When we do errands, we just don't seek meritorious service, but seek no faults; it has been seven days, and I am afraid that some souls have passed the "twilight period", so it is not easy to tick. Let's solve it quickly before we make mistakes. You, you can't make any more mistakes, you know."
Murong thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's split up. I'll go to the hospital to get new souls, and you get back the scattered souls that have returned home. I'll see you at the bank before dawn."
"good."
Murong opened the booklet, found the soul that had been dead for the longest time, determined the location, and rushed over.
"Yuwa, wake up and eat."
"Well, good~ is it dark?"
Sang Tong scratched Sang Yu's nose and said with a smile, "Isn't that right, you've been asleep all day."
"I'm sorry, Sister Tongtong, for making you worry."
"What nonsense, you are my sister, come on, slow down, and eat."
Sang Yu was sitting at the dining table, and when she saw Murong, she got up habitually, wanting to help her.
But he found that Murong walked steadily, walked to the table smoothly, and sat across from him.
Ah Meow smiled faintly: "Wake up, do you feel better?"
Sang Yu's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "How are your eyes?"
"Go serve the meal."
Ah Miao got up immediately and filled the meals for the three of them. Sang Yu took a piece of mapo tofu and put it in Ah Miao's bowl.
Murong never said what she liked, but every time Sang Yu made mapo tofu, she would eat a few more bites.
Sang Yu looked around and asked, "Where is Meow?"
Ah Miao looked at Sang Yu aggrievedly: "You finally think of me."
Sang Yu was startled, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he smiled faintly: "Where's Mu Rong?"
"Lord Murong has gone to work."
"oh."
Holding the bowl, Ah Miao took a peek at Sang Tong, and was relieved to see that the other party's expression was normal.
The meal was very quiet, and the always noisy Ah Miao didn't take the initiative to say a word.
After eating, he also took the initiative to undertake the work of cleaning up the dishes.
Sang Yu was still ill, mentally weak, and did not notice any abnormalities.
Sang Tong peeled an apple and handed it to Sang Tong: "This place doesn't even have a TV, are you used to living here?"
"I didn't get used to it at first, but after living in it for a long time, I feel that this kind of life is actually quite good, very quiet."
"How about moving out with my sister later?"
"Didn't Sister Tongtong come to Shanyang City to do business?"
"There's no rush for that."
"I still don't want it anymore. Murong's eyes are temporarily blind and need someone to take care of him."
"I can find someone to take care of her."
Sang Yu shook her head: "She won't agree. Besides, Ah Miao is a rootless soul. It's safer to stay with Murong. Ah Miao was brought by me. I want to help her find her memory."
Sang Tong was silent for a long time, raised his hand, stroked Sang Yu's loose black hair, and said softly: "Sister will definitely cure your eyes, let you live a normal life, and you will have many, many friends in the future. "
Seeing that his sister did not speak, Sang Tong knew that this was a silent resistance.
She ended the topic, watched Sang Yu finish eating the apple, casually took the phone, and quickly typed the word "Murong" from an angle that Sang Yu could not see, and sent it.
…
Murong led a group of souls to a house, a red light popped out from the door, and a pair of majestic generals appeared.
Seeing the two of them, Murong was quite surprised. Now in the city, very few people post portraits of door gods, and even in the countryside, they gradually don't believe in them.
"Who is coming!?"
Murong flashed out his token: "Murong, the errand, take the male owner of this household on the road, and please the two gods for convenience."
"This family has a baby whose celestial spirit cover has not yet closed. If you bring so many souls into it, it will scare the child."
"so what should I do now?"
"Go in by yourself, these souls, the two of us will take care of them for you."
Murong nodded: "Alright."
Only then did the door god give way to Murong. Murong held one end of the soul chain, and the chain stretched automatically, and Mu Rong entered the door alone.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, the living room is filled with the smell of incense candles, fruits and dry food are placed on the altar table, and a black and white photo stands behind it.
Mu Rong looked away and entered the bedroom.
There was a pair of mother and child sleeping on the bed. The woman's face was haggard, and her brows were furrowed even in her sleep. On the contrary, the baby in the swaddle was sleeping very deeply, but she looked thinner than ordinary babies.
A man floated beside the bed, looking affectionately at the mother and child on the bed. The man's appearance was exactly the same as in the photo.
"Liu Xue, I'm Mu Rong from Death God Academy, your time has come, it's time to get on the road."
To Mu Rong's surprise, the man didn't struggle to resist, but replied: "Understood."
Then he placed kisses on the foreheads of his wife and child respectively: "Yingzi, I'm sorry for you. I have a short life. I can't join hands with you for the rest of my life. Xiaojun is still young. It is too hard for you to take care of the children alone. If you meet a good person in the future , you can marry, I'm sorry, I will marry you in the next life."
"Xiaojun, dad is gone, you have to listen to mom and grow up well, dad is sorry for you."
After finishing all this, Liu Xue took the initiative to stretch out his hands to facilitate Murong's chains.
After the two walked out, the sleeping Yingzi had a sad expression on her face, and a tear fell down the corner of her eye.
Mu Rong looked up at the sky, called Hao Jiefang, and agreed to meet at the bank gate.
Hao Jiefang put the dozen or so people he hooked on Murong's soul chain: "Go in by yourself, then it should be fine."
"Thanks."
Murong brought dozens of souls into the Yinyang station, and the scene was quite spectacular.
She watched the souls jump off one by one, and soon Liu Xue, who was hooked last, was left in the team.
He stopped in front of the door and looked at Murong.
Mu Rong leaned on the door frame: "Let's go, it's getting late."
Liu Xue smiled and bowed deeply to Murong: "Thank you, thank you for allowing me to live for seven more days. After hearing the news of my death, my daughter-in-law was stimulated and gave birth prematurely. Xiaojun put it in the incubator. It was only a week out of danger, and the two of them just came home today, thank you, although I don't want to leave at all, but I have no regrets."
After speaking, Liu Xue stepped into the door with a smile, and his figure disappeared.
But Mu Rong froze in place, as if his heart had been knocked by something.
She has worked as a errand for fifteen years and has seen too many joys and sorrows. She has long been numb to such scenes.
All along, in order to save her mother, she has been conscientiously completing her essential work for fifteen years.
It wasn't until today that Murong suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a problem.
Why did the underworld set a rule for the Death God Academy: "After a person dies, in extremely special circumstances, the soul must be seduced immediately, and the rest can be postponed, but the longest is no more than seven days." Such a rule.
Murong took a deep breath, a messy thought flashed through her mind, but when she thought about what it was, that feeling disappeared.
After walking out of the bank, Hao Jiefang greeted him: "Why did it take so long to go in, and some people didn't want to leave?"
Murong shook his head, wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Murong."
"Um."
"Let's talk."
"good."
"Find a place to sit and talk."
"Where are you going? My house?"
"No, find a higher place to sit."
Mu Rong chose several places, but Hao Jiefang was not satisfied. In the end, Hao Jiefang took Mu Rong to the lightning rod of the tallest building in Shanyang City...
Mu Rong sat with Hao Jiefang on the round platform above the lightning rod, speechless for a while.
Hao Jiefang lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "That woman is not simple."
"who?"
"Who else is there, stinky Taoist priest."
"You are too petty."
"She's not a good person!"
…
"real!"
…
"say something!"
"Um."
…
Hao Jiefang looked at Mu Rong helplessly, took out another cigarette and lit it, looking far away, overlooking the night view of Shanyang City, the smoke rings spit out were blown away by the strong wind.
"Do you know how that woman's leg was broken?"
"have no idea."
"She beat a wisp of smoke soul to death, and was punished by heaven."
Seeing that Murong finally had a serious look on his face, Hao Jiefang smiled: "Stay away from her, we have been friends for so many years, I will not harm you."
"knew."
…
"ding dong"
Hearing the notification tone of the mobile phone, Sang Tong opened his eyes, turned to look at Sang Yu who was sleeping next to him, and took out the mobile phone from under the pillow.
Turn on the screen, prompting that there is a new email, which contains an encrypted document.
Sang Tong entered the password, and the document was unlocked, which was several pages long.
The first line reads impressively: Mu Rong, female, Han nationality, from Shanyang City...
