Villager of Destiny

Chapter 21
I was a little confused and looked at the old smoker in confusion.

"Replenishing the soul?"

The old smoker gave me a helpless look before explaining: "I told you before that the village guards have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. They lack soul and soul."

"As for the path she chose for you, the first step is to replenish your soul."

"To put it bluntly, there is a part of your soul that you owe, and the City God will take it away at any time. If you want to keep it from being taken away, you must completely make this part of your soul your own."

"This is called replenishing the soul."

"You ask this person who left Niang'er Village to bring Ye Luo back to his roots, and after making this good relationship, you will adopt his son as a foster son when the time comes, and your soul that should be missing will be made up by your foster son."

"This is also called cause and effect!"

"If you do this, won't that harm the child?" I frowned subconsciously, and the figure of the child brought by Liu Shan flashed in my mind.

The old smoker gave me a surprised look, then said with a chuckle, "Of course not."

"If you can be contaminated with the karma of the village guards, that child will only have a smooth sailing life."

"How many people can't ask for it in a lifetime."

Seeing the seriousness of the old smoker's expression, I didn't get too entangled in this issue, but continued to ask: "Then what should I do now?"

"Burn these."

"And tell them she wants to go home!"

The old smoker grinned, took out a stack of paper money and threw it into the brazier, and said loudly: "Niang'er Village, Li Ya begs to return to the village, and the fallen leaves return to their roots!"

I looked at the old smoker in surprise.

I wanted to ask the old smoker how he knew her name, but I held back in the end. After all, even I vaguely remembered that Liu Shan had said the name Aya to the air when he left a few years ago.

I didn't hesitate anymore, and followed the old smoker while burning paper money and shouting: "Niang'er Village, Li Ya begs to return to the village, and the fallen leaves return to their roots!"

I don't know if it will work or not.

Just follow suit.

But soon I felt something was wrong.

As we burned more and more paper money, and the old smoker and I yelled for more and more time, I gradually began to feel that the surroundings seemed to become a lot more depressing, but there was obviously no one around me.

I subconsciously looked around, and then I noticed that at some point, the lids of the coffins that were placed at the door of every household in the surrounding area were all opened.

I swallowed, then looked at the old smoker.

"The coffins are all open."

But the old smoker didn't care, and continued to burn paper money.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

It's not because I'm afraid, after all, the experience during this period of time has made me used to these weird changes, but the special depression around me makes me a little uncomfortable.

If I'm not mistaken.

Maybe there are already people standing around me at this moment.

Sure enough.

After a while, after the paper money that the old smoker and I took out were almost burnt, there was a vague sound in my ear.

"welcome……"

"go home!"

I'm not sure if it's these four words.

All I could hear was a sob that seemed to reach my ears after those voices.

And the jar I snatched from Liu Shan also began to shatter, and it was broken into pieces in the blink of an eye, and some fine sand-like things inside were also blown away by a sudden gust of wind. .

The old smoker also got up slowly at this time, and took a puff of cigarette, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

He murmured in a low voice, "Go home!"

But before I had time to say anything, a figure rushed up to me quickly. When he saw the broken jar on the ground, Liu Shan froze in place, and then knelt down directly at the same time. Grab me, eyes are red.

He looked at me hopelessly.

That look made me afraid to face it, so I subconsciously turned my head away.

Fortunately, the old smoker came over in time, patted Liu Shan's hand and said, "She has gone home."

"From this moment on, she can stay here forever."

Hearing the old smoker's words, Liu Shan couldn't stop crying, but still looked at the old smoker in disbelief, "Can she really go home?"

The old smoker nodded, then pointed to me and said, "This idiot is the village guard here."

"After his hand, no one will stop."

"Your wife, come home!"

Liu Shan's body trembled instantly, he let go of my hand, and then kowtowed to me three times in a row.

Seeing Liu Shan like this, I really felt a little unspeakably guilty, so I could only pretend to be stupid and laugh, while quietly whitening like an old smoker.

The old smoker didn't seem to see it, but continued: "But although your wife is back, she is a married person after all."

"This is not allowed in Niang'er Village."

"Although there is help from this fool, it is still a big taboo."

"So your wife still can't set up a tomb here."

The serious look of the old smoker made me speechless for a while, and I couldn't help rolling my eyes.

But Liu Shan obviously believed it.

He quickly moved away from me, knelt and moved to the old smoker.

"Old sir, what should I do?"

The old smoker took another drag on his cigarette and said earnestly, "Let your son recognize him as a godfather."

The old smoker glanced at me.

Liu Shan's face suddenly became a little more troubled.

I know that the old smoker is talking about me, and it is obvious that Liu Shan is in trouble because in his eyes I am a fool, let his son recognize a fool as a godfather, even though I have lived alone for 18 years, I also know that this is a fool A very embarrassing thing.

But I also know that the old smoker is doing me a favor.

After all, the last step of the first thing on the road he said was to accept Liu Shan's son as a foster son, and now it is indeed the only step left.

Seeing Liu Shan's hesitation, the old smoker continued: "The whole Niang'er Village has to give this fool a face, if your son recognizes him as a godfather, it means that your wife has a relationship with him, naturally No one will gossip anymore, and your wife can justifiably set up a tomb in Niang'er Village."

Hearing this, Liu Shan fell silent.

I could see he was struggling.

And it all boiled down to the fact that he thought I was a fool.

This can also be said to be the sorrow of the village guards.

This also made me feel heavy.

What if I'm really a fool?
What if I can't do it three years later and become a real fool?
I can't imagine.

But I can't say anything.

He could only smile and do his own thing.

Finally, after being silent for a while, Liu Shan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded firmly.

"Row."

"As long as I can erect a tomb for my wife in Niang'er Village."

"I can let my son recognize him as a godfather!"
