"Captain, is the soul guide actually the ferryman?" Wang Qiyi fidgeted with his paws and tried to climb onto the boat, but the slightly damp and cold wooden texture of the solid wood was a bit slippery, which was very unfriendly to the tortoise.
The captain held the pole used to punt the boat and helped support the "base". Li Yanan was very friendly and moved the tortoise shell for some strength. The big tortoise turned over and finally got on the boat.
What is very interesting is that the seemingly old wooden boat is actually stable. Wang Qiyi supported the hull with his right foot and turned himself over. The small wooden boat did not shake much.
"It's not just a ferry. The last step of the soul guide's job is to safely transport the soul to the other side. Sit down and we'll set off." The breeze glanced at the misty water, and it seemed that the Naihe River couldn't see the edge at a glance.
The pole was launched into the water, and the boat was pushed forward steadily. For a moment, there was only the gentle sound of the river between the sky and the earth.
As soon as the fog enveloped him, Li Yanan suddenly felt dazed, probably thinking of his short life. The expression on his face changed from sadness to confusion and finally to calmness.
"I really didn't expect that my last journey as Li Yanan would be with a..." She looked at the big tortoise opposite who looked like a human being, and didn't know what to call him for a moment.
Calling someone a bastard feels a bit like swearing.
"My name is Wang Qiyi." He shrank his neck and was basically immune. "It's not only the bastard who is sending you on your last journey, but also our handsome Taoist Master Qingfeng. I'm just a sidekick."
Wang Qiyi thought to himself, you are already lucky. If I really choose the profession of soul guide in the future, those ghosts I sent across the Naihe River to the underworld will probably be embarrassed to say that they were sent down by a bastard.
Immediately, he thought of a very important question, the bastard can swim!
The shape of the boat is not convenient, so can the ghost be carried directly to the other side?
He wanted to go back and consult the captain, but found that the other party's expression was solemn and alert. He felt that this was not the time for small talk, so he swallowed the question again.
"Qiyi, don't mind, I don't have any other intentions." Li Yanan quickly waved his hand and explained: "I just think it's quite new, and you don't seem to be very similar to other... turtles."
She tilted her head and looked at it carefully for a while before she realized something. "Xiao Zong had a pet turtle before. I don't know what it was called. Anyway, it had a patterned head and a pointy head. It looked scary. But you are very good-looking." He has a round head and big eyes, especially his eyes are gentle and human-like, and his demeanor is also very...kind!"
Leng Buding choked on the word "kindness", and Wang Qiyi scratched his belly armor with his claws, really not knowing what expression to make.
I'm only in my twenties, why am I associated with Cixiang?
"I feel honored to be able to walk this journey with you. I'm not alone or scared at all." Li Yanan reached out to touch the stars floating around him, but as soon as his slender fingers touched them, the light spots A small silver firework exploded and floated away, making the whole picture more dreamy.
If this was not the Tonai River, if there were not densely packed, open, pale hands under the water, floating with the river water trying to grab something, it would definitely look like a beautiful painting.
"You are a good girl." Qingfeng held the pole and could sense what she was thinking at this time. He turned around and explained seriously: "If you have a sinful nature, this boat will become very heavy and difficult to row; if you have harmed others, Life, Naihe is the last way to get revenge, and the resentful spirits of those who were killed will come looking for you."
"You see, the river is calm and the waves are calm, and our boat is moving very easily, so no matter what occupation you were doing during your lifetime, you did not affect others, let alone commit the crime of killing."
Li Yanan has never been able to let go of his business. He only realized it after hearing what the other party said.
Although he would accompany drinks at bars, he had never deceived anyone, nor had he ever been a bartender;
After being hired as a maid by Xiao Zong, she had no intention of finding an honest person as a successor to deceive the innocent, nor did she ever bully or harm others based on her favor.
She just took the money and sold the only thing that belonged to her, that's all.
Scenes of her short life flashed before her eyes. She looked at the big bastard "sitting" in front of her and showed a slight smile, "Thank you for accompanying me on the last journey. I may not be Li Yanan after I pass the Nai River and enter the underworld." , so you can say whatever you want now, right?"
Wang Qiyi stretched his neck and nodded, "If you want me to listen, I will listen carefully; if you don't want me to hear, I will put my head into my shell. Which choice do you prefer?"
Li Yanan was amused by the gentle bastard, "If you don't find it annoying that I'm verbose, just listen to it."
"Where should I start..." She looked at the misty mist, and the special environment of Naihe quickly made her fall into memories. "There was a capable person in our village before, at least that's how the people in the village praised him."
"In that remote village, when everyone was working hard with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess, he relied on his eloquent words to marry a beautiful girl who was famous from all over the country. He didn't even work on weekdays. , I rely on my mouth to talk to others, help with mediation, and if I am popular, I can even get some thank you gifts from time to time, so my life is pretty good."
"Later he had three children. In our area, very few children can finish junior high school and go to the county high school to take the college entrance examination. Most of them drop out of school early to work in factories or at home. His two daughters are in the second grade of junior high school. He dropped out of school when he was young and was sent to a wild opera troupe to learn how to sing."
"Learning to sing opera is very hard. They are always beaten during winter training and summer training. However, after three years of training, they were taken away by their father before they could officially perform on stage. In his words, learning opera is for Practice your eyes and posture, who would let a good-looking girl earn so much from singing?"
"Then he took his two daughters to the big cities in the south. At that time, hair salons were very popular, and there were shops with pink lights on the streets."
She looked at the big tortoise who stretched his neck to listen carefully to her ramblings, covered his mouth with a smile and said: "You are just a... little animal, you probably don't understand that. Anyway, it's just that kind of deal, you can't get a clear deal."
Wang Qiyi pretended to be stupid and nodded, "Oh~ So that capable man in your village sent his daughter to the hair salon?"
"Of course not." Li Yanan shook his head and continued to recall: "Either the people in the village praise him as a capable person, so his vision is naturally different from ordinary people."
"He did not let his daughters enter the hair salon. Instead, he personally supervised, managed, and selected clients, aiming at the high-end market. He was the kind of person who worked alone. He went to attract clients and brought them back to the rental community, and his two daughters received them. It was hidden and safe. Never got caught.”
"His two daughters inherited their mother's appearance. They are very good-looking; they can sing and dress up; they have soft figures and smart eyes; and they are able to teach people how to make people happy. In our village, young people go out to work. When they could only earn five to six hundred yuan a month, they were already earning at least over ten thousand yuan a month."
