C86 (2/2)

He said yes, he had been crippled.

I said, ”Er Nengdan brought some people to cripple you, right? I remember him saying that! Because you didn't say anything nice when you calculated the outcome for the son of the county's family! ”

Tao Daxian nodded, but continued to comb his hair while looking at himself in the mirror, and said: ”He was the one who crippled me! But I am still grateful to him! ”

”Why?”

”Because the sheriff let him shoot me. But he only lame one of my legs. and gave me a few thousand dollars as a pension. Do you think he's a good person? I don't think he's reluctant to use his heavy hand because I'm too good-looking! He was good to everyone! Very generous! ”Including the extremely ugly and stinky beggars on the roadside!” Tao Daxian put away the mirror and the wooden brush, then acted as if he was being serious.

”He's a good person, but his fate isn't good!” ”No,” I said.

”You're wrong!”

”Wrong?” ”Why do you say I was wrong?”

”You think a person died early, just because his fate was bad?”

”Isn't it?” I asked.

”But have you ever thought about where a person's soul would go after death?” Tao Daxian said.

”Where else can we go? Go to the Underworld!” Or heaven! ” ”No,” I said.

Tao Daxian shook his head, his eyes becoming somewhat blurred, and said: ”There is no hell or heaven! The soul was a type of energy. Wherever the energy came from, it would eventually return to that place! Life is just an experience, a process. People began to cry. Crying is because I feel that this world is unfamiliar, crying is because I'm afraid to leave this world. ”

”What are you talking about? It's very profound, I don't understand!” I'll trouble you to get out of my way! ” I said, holding back my impatience. He felt that the person before him was a mysterious figure.

”Er Nengdan's soul has already completed this game called Life. It is time for his soul to return to where it belongs! ” Tao Daxian said.

”Where does it belong?” I asked.

”In a smoking grave!” Tao Daxian said.

”Where to find a smoking grave?” I felt a headache for the man in front of me, but I was also afraid of him.

”Follow me!”

Thus, I pulled the carriage and followed behind Tao Daxian. Not far. I noticed that the environment had changed. There were no longer green wheat fields on either side of him. Instead, they arrived at a large, yellow desert. There was no smoke, no wind, no sun. The sky was green with yellow.

”Where is this?” I panicked completely and stopped, afraid to go any further.

Tao Daxian did not speak, and instead looked into the distance.

The yellow sand beneath his feet began to flow. It was as if a huge funnel had appeared in the desert. The more yellow sand gathered in one place, the more it leaked out. The yellow sand flowed faster and faster.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The yellow sand under our feet was gone. There were wheat fields I felt more familiar with. But it was no longer the same wheat field. The wheat seedlings in the wheat fields here grew vigorously, and the leaves, free of frost, were almost knee-high. It felt like spring. There was a large grave in front of him.

A wisp of green smoke was rising from the top of the grave.

”Where is this place?” I asked, looking around. No one, not even a tree.

Tao Daxian said: ”This is in the heart of one person!”

”The heart?” I couldn't help but be surprised. ”Whose heart?”

”In Jin Shi's heart!”

”Jin Shi?” I was familiar with the name, and I recalled the two pictures that the man who had combed his hair last night had shown me. The Short Hunchback in the photo had an identical face to me. He held a pile of feces in his hands and even bit on the feces in his mouth.

I said, ”Isn't Jin Shi just a fool! You even eat shit! ”

Tao Daxian said, ”Yes! He's a fool! ”

”Why are you in his heart?” I asked.

Tao Daxian pointed to the big grave that was emitting green smoke, and said: ”Bury Er Nengdan in that grave! That is the origin of his soul! ”

”Alright! How troublesome, to have to dig up the grave! I still have to climb up and dig this huge grave! ” I muttered disapprovingly. However, he still dragged the carriage with all the strength he could muster. He approached the grave. I put down the truck. He picked up the shovel that had been placed on the cart and climbed up to a large grave the size of a small hill.

When I came into contact with the smoke, I smelled its dry, pungent odor, but for some reason I felt a great grief in my heart, and I couldn't help but cry.

Tao Daxian stood in the distance and looked at me coldly.

I began to dig the grave with the shovel. He dug while crying. The more he cried, the harder he dug. He almost forgot his fatigue.

An unknown amount of time passed.

I was still digging, my hands bleeding from the wooden handle of the shovel. I didn't get half the depth of the grave.

”Alright, take a break!”

I stopped and looked at Tao Daxian who was standing far away.

”Do you know who's buried here?” Tao Daxian asked.

I shook my head. ”Who is it?”

[Alright, let's end it here for today!] Tomorrow! Please look forward to it.

Here, let me say a few words to everyone. Many readers complain to me that they don't understand. The more they read, the more confused they become. He was both anxious and annoyed. I mean, I'm only at this stage of my writing right now, the stage you're still trying to understand. I haven't even written it out yet! It would be strange if you could understand it. Don't doubt your IQ.

But this is the necessary structure of the book. I have to write that.

My writing is always controversial. But the old readers who silently read on will understand. I'm brewing something. When the time comes, it will definitely give you a huge burst, allowing you to understand everything and understand everything. and then become a devoted reader of mine (please don't mind the arrogance of this).

I hope everyone isn't in a hurry with this book. Every plot is carefully drawn over and over again. It is impossible to say that in the end I wrote you a ”Heavenly Book” that you could not understand. Don't you see that I try to use the words ”easy to get close to people” and ”ground gas”!

I want to tell you this: this is a book that everyone can read. Give me a little more time, please. You'll understand when I've finished writing it. Believe me, what awaits you is a full-blown shock!

Some people were worried that this book was about to evolve into a fantasy or science fiction novel. I tell you in all seriousness that I disdain writing traditional fantasy and science fiction. As for the nature of this book, it was indeed quite complicated. Everyone would have to finish reading it before they could come to a conclusion.

Everyone, don't say that I'm acting arrogantly. When I write a book, the amount of money I earn is secondary. And to accomplish a dream: to create a unique style of writing, suspenseful of the best of the masterpieces. To be able to attack your minds. That was the most important thing.

Thank you for your support!]
