Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 121 If There Is an Afterlife
"Why keep these worthless things?"

Ma Hongxia couldn't help getting angry when she saw Sun Sanlu being picky, reluctant to throw away this or sell that.

"This kettle doesn't look good, but it's still usable. It would be a shame to throw it away." Sun Sanlu held a kettle with a dented corner, looking reluctant.

"Sell it and take a few clothes with you."

"This is what you bought from the market. You have been using it for many years." Sun Sanlu murmured.

It turned out that this kettle was brought from home by them.

"Well, then you can stay here for now." Ma Hongxia sighed and didn't persuade him anymore.

But soon, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep all these clothes of mine? I can't wear them anymore."

Sun Sanlu didn't say anything, but packed up Ma Hongxia's clothes and prepared to take them with him.

He had already washed these clothes and folded them neatly in a bag.

How could Ma Hongxia not understand Sun Sanlu's thoughts? Seeing how stubborn he was, she knew it was useless to persuade him, so she just let him do what he wanted.

Sun Sanlu put a large bundle of waste into the back of the tricycle, and then said to Ma Hongxia: "You sit in the back, I'll pull you."

"I won't go. I'll wait for you here." Ma Hongxia said.

Sun Sanlu insisted, "Come on, I haven't carried you for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

As he said this, he forced Ma Hongxia onto the back of the truck.

Then he happily got on the car, turned around and grinned.

"Sit down."

Seeing Ma Hongxia nod, he gently kicked the car, and the tricycle moved forward steadily.

Ma Hongxia looked at Sun Sanlu's hunched back and her eyes became moist again.

"I feel much older and don't have as much strength as before..." Sun Sanlu said while panting as he pedaled the bike.

Ever since Ma Hongxia left, Sun Sanlu's aging seemed to accelerate, and he was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You are already so old, isn't it normal for you to be old? Don't talk, save your energy."

"Hehe, I wanted to talk to you more, but I won't have the chance later." Sun Sanlu said with a silly smile.

"I've been saying this for my whole life, haven't I said enough?"

"Of course not, Hongxia, do you think people have an afterlife?" Sun Sanlu asked.

"Of course." Ma Hongxia said.

But in fact, she knew very well that it was not the case. Dust returns to dust, ashes return to ashes.

Maybe reincarnation is just a scam, a scam created for the living.

"It's good to have reincarnation, it's good to have reincarnation..."

"Then I will still be with you in the next life. This time, you'd better come to me earlier." Ma Hongxia said with a smile, but her eyes were already full of tears.

"No, no, if there really is an afterlife, you'd better not follow me."

"What? Are you starting to dislike me?"

"Of course not, I'm a useless person. If there is a next life, you should find someone better and don't be as useless as me." Sun Sanlu said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are fine."

"Hongxia, you are always so nice and always say things that I like to hear, but how can I not know whether I am good or not?" Sun Sanlu said.

Ma Hongxia remained silent. Sun Sanlu looked back at her, and seemed relieved to see that she was still there. He turned around and continued riding his bike.

"After following me, you've only had a few good days in your life. I also want you to have nice clothes, a spacious and bright house to live in, a car to go out, and not have to worry about what to eat every day..."

"It's not necessarily a good thing to live like that."

"Why is it not good?"

"At that time, will you still be able to carry me around like you do now?" Ma Hongxia asked.

"As long as you want, it is definitely possible." Sun Sanlu said.

But Ma Hongxia knew that if she really lived that kind of life, it would not necessarily be as good as it is now. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Be careful on the way down."

As the two were talking, they soon arrived at a nearby scrap yard, and then Sun Sanlu sold both his car and the truck.

"You won't collect waste anymore?"

The scrap collector was a little surprised.

"No, I'm going back to my hometown."

"Indeed, you are already so old, you should go home and enjoy your life."

Sun Sanlu didn't explain after hearing this. He took the hundred or so yuan in change and took Ma Hongxia back.

When the scrap yard owner saw the two people leaving, he couldn't help but sigh at their relationship.

When they walked back to the bridge pier, the two threw all the remaining garbage into a nearby trash can and cleaned the area under the bridge pier carefully.

Sun Sanlu put on a tattered backpack, picked up Ma Hongxia's ashes, and looked back at the empty bridge tunnel.

"Hongxia, let's go home."

Sun Sanlu called Ma Hongxia and prepared to set off.

But Ma Hongxia just stood there without moving, just looking at him with a complicated expression.

Sun Sanlu said blankly: "Is it time?"

Ma Hongxia nodded.

An old smile appeared on Sun Sanlu's shriveled face.

"It's okay, I can do it alone, don't worry."

As he spoke, he turned around and continued walking forward holding the ashes.

But after walking for a while, he still felt uneasy. He turned back, but saw that the place was empty. He couldn't hold back his tears.

Shen Siyuan was playing the fishing game while the three little ones were watching.

Doudou, in particular, stared intently and looked very interested.

"This is much more fun than my dad's fishing, Sweet Potato Pot, can you let me play with it..."

"Not now, wait until we get home."

"Oh~" Doudou was a little disappointed when he heard that.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, and Ma Hongxia appeared in the office.

As a dead soul that has been enchanted by the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner], he can naturally find Shen Siyuan's whereabouts.

"Ouch, I got so scared." Doudou jumped on the spot.

Ma Hongxia didn't say anything, but knelt down in front of Shen Siyuan.

There were so many people in the office at this time, Shen Siyuan didn't know what to say, so he just stood up and walked out the door.

Before Ma Hongxia could figure out the situation, Yin Xingyue pulled her up.

"You come with me."

Then they came to the conference room, and Shen Siyuan said, "Have you thought it through?"

Ma Hongxia nodded and said, "I don't think he will live much longer. I want to stay with him."

"Then go ahead, but you must remember not to reveal yourself easily to avoid any bad influence." Shen Siyuan said.

As the master of the banner, Shen Siyuan's words are the law, and Ma Hongxia would never disobey them.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongxia's face showed joy. She knelt down again and kowtowed to Shen Siyuan, and he did not stop her.

After he kowtowed and stood up, he smiled at the three little guys again, then turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared.

But what surprised Shen Siyuan was that this time the merit had not yet arrived.

However, Shen Siyuan was not helping the other party for the sake of merit, so he did not dwell on this issue and went back to work.

But after about half an hour, suddenly four strands of merit fell from the sky into his sea of ​​consciousness, which really surprised Shen Siyuan.
