Judging from the birth and death records, this Shen Wenxiu was a widow and very old.
How can it take a hundred years for a mortal to grow old, sick, and die? Shen Wenxiu is seventy or eighty years old this year. Because of her poor health, some people suspected that she might die in the early years, but they did not expect that she is still holding on to her breath and has lived until now. .
The old woman was alone, without any relatives, let alone a distant relative named Nangong Shang.
The encyclopedia recorded the records in the life and death book in his mind, and glanced at Nangong Shang: "You are a distant relative, in Fangcheng."
Nangong Shang smiled sheepishly: "Can I go see her?"
"Of course." The encyclopedia said: "I, Brother Yan, said to grant you a wish, if this is your wish."
"Yes." Nangong Shang said seriously: "It is my wish."
If he was going to die now, then taking one last look at her would be his greatest wish.
"Okay. Let's get on the road now." Encyclopedia turned to the King of Hell: "Brother Yan, there is a guy just over there in Fangcheng who needs us to deal with. Can you leave?"
"Um."
The King of Hell did what he said, and he would never take Nangong Shang back to hell before he finished visiting the old woman named Shen Wenxiu.
Fangcheng is really far away from Yangcheng. Before Nangong Shang left, he said goodbye to the elders of the Nangong family.
The Nangong family thought he was going to Fangcheng to play, so they only sent a few guards to him and let him go.
Although they were not biological parents, Nangong Shang still kowtowed respectfully a few times and left with his guards.
However, these guards did not follow them all the way to Fangcheng, but were abandoned by Encyclopedia and the others midway.
I got on the Peng Taming Bird Boat. The Peng Taming Bird Boat is very fast and should arrive at Fangcheng in the afternoon.
Nangong Shang couldn't help but become a little nervous and started to feel restless.
Encyclopedia had not made a bird-taming boat for a long time, so he enjoyed it quite a lot. While pouring wine, he greeted them: "What are you doing sitting here? Come over and have a drink."
Nangong Shang shook his head: "I don't like drinking."
"This wine is not strong, it's okay to drink some!" Encyclopedia greeted him: "You are about to leave this world, why don't you take this opportunity to enjoy it more?"
Because after he fulfills his wish, they will send him directly back to hell.
But from what Nangong Shang heard, it was that he was about to die...
Thinking of this, Nangong Shang also felt that life was a bit boring, so he sat down opposite the encyclopedia and said softly: "Brother Shu is right, you should seek pleasure in time in life. After today, there may not be tomorrow, Brother Shu, I’ll toast you.”
"What's your name, Brother Shu? You should call him Brother Shu, or Boss!" Encyclopedia corrected.
Nangong Shang smiled and didn't refute, but he didn't speak either and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"And Mr. Yan, I also want to toast you. No matter what I did to you in the past, I hope that it will all disappear with my death." Nangong Shang sighed: "When will the injustice be repaid? I hope there won’t be any more hatred in this world.”
Encyclopedia's eyes became more complex. He looked at Nangong Shang and asked, "Are you so unafraid of death?"
Nangong Shang said sheepishly: "Actually, I'm quite scared."
After a pause, he added: "But, someone has to make amends for past mistakes. My life is life, and the lives of others are also lives."
In Nangong Shang's view, Encyclopedia and the others would come to take revenge on him, so the predecessor of this body must have done something harmful to people's lives.
Therefore, he sacrificed his life for his life without any complaints.
Encyclopedia has always considered himself not a good person, but when he heard Nangong Shang say this, he still felt a little complicated, and even a little admired, admiring him for accepting all the faults of this body's predecessor.
Even if it means losing your life.
Encyclopedia poured another glass of wine for Nangong Shang and clasped his shoulders: "Good boy! You have the guts. When you get to hell, I will take good care of you!"
The wine Encyclopedia brought out was very strong. Nangong Shang was a little drunk after only two drinks, so he didn't hear what Encyclopedia said next.
"Where... what ground?" He looked confused.
"Nothing! Come on, let's do it! Brother, please drink!" Encyclopedia clinked his glass with him and drank it in one gulp.
"oh oh… "
After another drink, Nangong Shang began to feel confused.
He glanced up and down in the encyclopedia: "Drunk so quickly? It seems that his soul is very compatible with this body."
"Pah." The King of Hell put down his wine glass unhappily, his cold eyes fell on Encyclopedia's hand, and he said coldly: "Do you have to hug him like this?"
Encyclopedia wondered: "Where am I hugging him? This is a good relationship between brothers!"
The King of Hell's eyes were deep, and his tone was still unpleasant: "Men can only accept or not kiss each other."
Encyclopedia: “…”
Oops, Brother Yan doesn’t like men, right
Why don't men kiss each other
No wonder I didn't see Brother Yan being tempted either by being aloof or by being a domineering CEO.
So... Brother Yan likes women
Encyclopedia suddenly became troubled.
He...he can't turn himself into a woman!
The more Encyclopedia thought about it, the sadder he became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, so he drank heavily.
He even dragged Nangong Shang to drink it together.
"I, I won't drink anymore..." Nangong Shang couldn't drink anymore. This wine was so strange. He felt like his soul was about to be stretched open.
Encyclopedia was in the mood for drinking, so of course he disagreed. He patted the wine bottle and said, "Are they friends? Is this your book brother? Drink!"
"Oh..." Nangong Shang was drowsily fed a few more drinks by Encyclopedia.
While drinking, Nangong Shang suddenly squatted down, held his head and started crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Encyclopedia kicked him: "You're crying!"
Nangong Shang choked and said: "I-I'm sorry for you, I'm not qualified to be your friend... I-I don't even dare to tell you my real name... but you are so good to me... Let me go see my mother, You, you bought me a drink...I'm sorry for you..."
Encyclopedia was confused by his crying, and while pouring wine, he said: "Is this? Is this good for you? My brother already knows your bad name."
Nangong Shang raised his eyes in confusion: "You know?"
Encyclopedia: "Nonsense! My brother knows everything in heaven and on earth!"
Nangong Shang: "Then you know, do you know that I am a coward? I don't even dare to see my mother!"
Encyclopedia: "Hahahaha, brother knows you are a ghost! Isn't that awesome? Brother also knows that Shen Wenxiu is your mother! You lied to me about a distant relative! Liar!"
As expected, Nangong Shang had a face of admiration: "You, you actually know that, I don't know, I don't know how I came to the world. When I was in hell, I, I was about to drink Meng Po soup, and I was... just by someone else. The ghost was pushed into the pool of rebirth. Wuwuwu..."
Encyclopedia: "Okay, okay, stop crying, you're making your brother want to cry."
Nangong Shang: "Woo, woo... Why are you crying? Are you a ghost too?"
Encyclopedia: "My brother is lovelorn!"
Nangong Shang stared at him miserably: "You are so miserable..." At least he had a wife before! Although my wife ran away from behind!
So one ghost and one book felt sorry for each other, holding each other's hands and crying.
King of Hell: “…”
