334 Eating fish

Today was the first day of the new year, an auspicious day.

A large red Lantern was hung on the door, and PO was sitting by the table, eating the fish cooked by his mother.

He was a six-year-old boy, fair and clean. He wore new red clothes and looked like a chubby baby in a New Year’s painting. All the uncles and aunts in the surrounding villages doted on him.

His mother doted on him a lot.

Because ah ‘Bao loved to eat fish, her mother would cook fish for him every two or three days. If she couldn’t afford it, mother would go to the river to fish it herself. After that, she carefully picked out the thorns for him, and then let ah ‘Bao eat them.

The fish was ready and served, steaming hot.

PO’s face was full of expectation. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a big piece of fish meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth.

The reason why ah ‘Bao took the meat from the fish’s belly at the beginning was not because he was greedy, but because he was a filial child. Her mother had said before that she loved to eat fish heads and tails, so ah ‘Bao had always left the meat of the head and tail for her.

However, while eating, po suddenly felt a bit strange. He raised his head and asked, ” “Mother, why does the fish you made today taste a little strange?”

“Is that so?”

Her mother’s voice was faint. what’s strange? ”

“I just feel that the Kasaya has no taste.” Ah ‘Bao knitted his eyebrows.

His mother’s voice seemed to be a little nervous. ah ‘Bao doesn’t like it? ”

“Hmm, hehe.” Po thought for a while, then said with a smile,”As long as it’s the fish that mother makes, I like it!”

“Ah ‘Bao is such a good boy.” Her mother praised.

However, Yingluo

Ah ‘Bao suddenly felt that not only the fish was strange, but his mother was also strange today.

Her entire body was wet. There seemed to be water dripping from her hair and the corner of her clothes. It dripped on the chopping board and the ground, making a dripping sound.

In the past, his mother would always smile when she spoke to him. However, for some reason, her loose hair covered half of her face today, and she didn’t seem to be smiling at all.

Although she was still wearing the same plain blue clothes and apron, looking at her, ah ‘Bao suddenly felt that she wasn’t as warm as she usually was, and was even a little cold.

However, he was still trying his best to eat.

His mother liked to see him gobble down his food. It was said that he could grow taller this way. So every time he ate, he would act like he was enjoying it, even if sometimes it wasn’t.

There was a big red Lantern hanging outside the door, and on both sides of the door were brand new couplets. Inside the door, a white and clean child was gobbling down fish, and a woman who was completely wet stood by and watched.

It was a heartwarming scene.

A gust of wind blew over and ruffled the Red Lanterns at the door.

Ah ‘Bao shivered, raised his head and said,”Mother, I’m so cold.”

“Is that so?”

His mother looked at him with concern, as if she wanted to reach out and touch his head, but she retracted her hand halfway, as if she didn’t dare to touch it.

“Ah ‘Bao, be good and eat more. You won’t feel cold when you have something in your stomach,”

“Good!” Po nodded again.

Mother looked at ah ‘Bao, her voice suddenly fluctuating.

“Ah ‘Bao is such a good boy, Yingying.”

“Even without mother, I’ll still live well, Zhenzhen.”

“Mother, what are you saying?” Po raised his head, his lips turning purple. I can’t live without my mother.

……

A thin, hunchbacked old woman in strange clothes stood outside the door with her hands in her sleeves. She looked at the sky and then at the candlelight in the red Lantern, and said faintly, ” “Time’s Up, hehe.”

It was as if a gust of wind had blown over, but it also seemed like there was no wind. However, the fire in the lantern was suddenly extinguished.

Inside the house.

Ah ‘Bao’s hand suddenly stopped, his teeth kept chattering as he said in a trembling voice,”Mother urged me to be Leng Qianqian.”

With this groan, ah ‘Bao’s figure suddenly faded, and then, as if his color was gradually fading, he actually disappeared.

And the fish on the table was there in one piece, as if it had not been touched from the beginning to the end.

“Ah ‘Bao, my ah’ Bao, ah”

The woman with disheveled hair couldn’t hold it in anymore. She covered her face and cried.

She covered her face and cried for a long time before staggering out of the house.

The old woman outside the door had just put away the Red Lantern and was holding it in her hand.

The woman grabbed her hand and pleaded, ” “Witch Zhang, I beg you, let me see ah ‘Bao again tomorrow night, okay?”

mother po, I know about your situation. You have to catch fish from the river, and it’s so cold in the winter. the old woman shook her head and said, ” where do you find the money? ”

I’m indeed broke, ” the woman said with tears in her eyes. but I can’t live without ah ‘Bao! Granny Zhang, I beg you, please let me see him again, okay?”

this Tao Wu … the old woman looked troubled. this is something that goes against the heavens. If I do too much, I’ll lose my lifespan! To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that you’re so pitiful, I wouldn’t have done such a thing for you even once. My condolences.”

granny Zhang! the woman knelt on the ground and grabbed the corner of the old woman’s clothes.

“Let’s do it this way,” The old woman hesitated for a while, then said,”ah ‘Bao’s soul won’t dissipate for forty-nine days.” As long as you can gather five taels of silver in 49 days, I can let you see him again.”

“Ah? Granny Zhang, how can a family like mine get five taels of silver?” The woman panicked.

“That’s not my business.” The old woman pushed her hand away and turned around. She said slowly, ” “If you can’t, then I can only advise you to go with the flow.”

“Old witch Zhang, hehe.”

A woman’s wail came from behind her, but the old woman ignored it and continued on.

……

The old woman carried the unlit lantern and walked alone through the forest Road of the mountain village. As she walked, she suddenly heard the sound of birds flying in front of her.

A trace of vigilance appeared on her old face.

After a few more steps, she suddenly stopped.

“Which side are you from? Please come out and draw a line, why do you have to hide?” The old woman said slowly.

“Hehe, Yingluo.”

A sinister laugh came from the forest.

you old woman, you imprisoned the soul of someone else’s child and made her spend all her money to come and see you. Aren’t you afraid of retribution in hell? ”

“What are you saying?” The old woman sneered back. that woman dotes on her child. Every time, she would pick out the fish bones for her son to eat, so her son didn’t even know that there were bones in the fish. He didn’t pick it clean the first time, and the child choked to death on a fish bone. She was filled with self-blame and lost all interest in life. My actions only gave her some hope to live on, what retribution is there?”

“You have a sharp tongue.” The voice replied,”the woman’s wish to live was her son’s dead soul. Then, what is your wish to live on?”

“What kind of fart is that?” The old woman frowned. Who are you? What do you want to do?”

“It’s nothing, Zhenzhen just wanted to ask you if you want to avenge the dead soul that you miss, Zhenzhen.”

A rustling sound came from the forest, and a small figure floated out from the bushes.

there was a soul Gu master from the southern border. He was only going to shenluo city to collect the reward that he deserved, but he was killed by a young Daoist for no reason. Don’t you want to take revenge for him? ”

The figure was only the size of a palm and looked like a small wooden sculpture. It was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing on his face, but it was extremely evil.

When the old woman saw this, she observed it for two seconds and suddenly said in surprise, ” “I recognize you! You’re the MU Ren King of the resentful moon sect!”
