"sough……"

The breeze disturbs the branches and leaves, the charcoal fire in the oven is light and dark,

Several flying insects were still undulating around the incandescent lamps, vague shadows on the ground.

Sitting at the table, Lian Ge picked up a skewer that was also cold and ate it casually, listening to the sounds coming from his ears with the breeze, and looking at the figure under the lights.

In front of me, on the table, I was overeating, and the little white mouse with a round belly was still standing with its forelimbs, holding the skewers in his hands, turning his head from time to time, burying his head from time to time, holding the skewers and stuffing them into his mouth.

Next to another dining table,

The old man turned his back to Lian Ge, sat hunched over, holding chopsticks in his hand, and ate the last few leftover noodles in the bowl.

Next to it, there was only the street where the breeze sounded,

The three ghost messengers were still waiting quietly.

...

The movements were getting faster. The old man held the chopsticks and picked up the noodles in the bowl, and gradually finished eating them.

He pinched the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the noodle bowl, and the old man drank the same cold noodle soup in the bowl.

Putting down the bowl, pausing, the old man turned his turbid gaze again, looking at the two strings of ribs placed by the table,

The two strings of ribs in the plastic bag were already a little cold, and the heat that blew out into the bag turned into water droplets on the plastic bag.

Then I moved faster and took a sip of the noodle soup in the bowl.

The old man put down the noodle bowl and the chopsticks he was holding in his hand.

He raised his head, followed the quiet street, looked at somewhere in the distance, and a smile appeared on the old man's face.

After pausing again, the old man withdrew his gaze, reached out to pick up the two strings of ribs in the bag, and stood up from the stool.

...

"...Young man, thank you for this bowl of noodles."

"…The old man still has a long way to go, so it is better to eat a bowl of noodles before walking."

Lian Ge sat at the table, listening to the sounds in his ears, watching the lights, eating the skewers in his hands casually.

The old man got up from the stool, turned around, walked to Lian Ge, stood up again, and thanked Lian Ge.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the old man, smiled at the old man, and responded with a voice.

Hearing the sound, the old man paused.

Looking at Lian Ge, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask something, but he still didn't make any sound.

"……Thanks……"

Just hunched, the old man thanked him again.

"...Then I'll leave first...thank you."

The old man said thank you again.

Lian Ge looked at the old man, put down the skewers in his hand, stood up from the stool,

"The old man is slowing down all the way."

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge said again.

The old man nodded, stood up again, turned around,

He lowered his head, looked at the two strings of ribs in his hand, put them in the bag, raised his head and looked into the distance,

A smile appeared on the old man's face and moved his feet away.

Walk down the steps on the street and follow the quiet street and walk away slightly faster.

...

Looking at the street lights, the old man's shadow reflected on the ground was lengthened and shortened, and the hunched figure gradually walked away.

Lian Ge turned back his sight.

Following the street, the three ghost servants who were waiting with the old man, watched the old man walk away, watched Lian Ge turn back his sight, and walked forward respectfully.

"... We have seen the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master came and failed to meet him. I hope to forgive my sins."

The three ghost messengers bowed in front of Lian Ge, and respectfully said.

Lian Ge nodded, turned his gaze and looked along the quiet street, looking at the old man who had already walked away in the distance.

"Come to pick up that old man?"

"Report to the Heavenly Master, as the Heavenly Master said."

The leading ghost messenger responded respectfully, paused for a while, and then said,

"... He did a lot of good deeds and accumulated great merits during his lifetime. He should die tonight. He is under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Entry and Exit Management Office, the immigration department, and the head of the Wuliang area came to pick him up according to the regulations."

Respectfully, the leader of the ghost trooper bowed to Lian Ge and said.

"Slow him a little longer and let him go where he is going."

Lian Ge said something and turned back his sight.

"As for the order of humble duties, can you ask the Heavenly Master if you have any other instructions?"

The leader of the ghost asked respectfully again,

Lian Ge shook his head.

"That Tianshi, I will take my leave first."

The ghost messenger said respectfully again.

Waiting for Lian Ge nodding, the three ghost messengers took a few more steps back and disappeared from sight.

...

Watching the three ghost messengers leave, then looking at the streets that are no longer human.

Lian Ge turned his gaze back, sat down at the table, picked up the previous skewer, and ate it casually.

He turned his head and looked at the little white mouse who was leaving the ghost, then turned back his head, and ate it in the grilled skewers he was holding.

There was only one person and one rat left on the stall, and then quieted down.

Breeze blows by,

The trees and branches collided on the street, and there were some rustling sounds.

The charcoal fire in the oven flickered and crackled from time to time.

A few flying insects kept circling the hanging incandescent lamps.

...

At this moment,

On the quiet street, under the street lights, another figure appeared.

It seems that I have moved from a road next to this street.

Along the quiet street, the figure was limping, limping, and staggering,

From time to time, he ran to this side, but from time to time he wanted to stop,

Just stop for a while and speed up a little more

The steps were staggering, running and stopping, the figure limped, panting, and approaching.

"...I'm sorry, sorry, young man..."

When he ran to the stall, the figure stopped beside the stall, and the incandescent lamp hanging on the stall reflected a shadow on the ground.

It's the owner of this barbecue stall.

"...I'm sorry, let you wait for a long time..."

Gasing heavily, slowing down a little, the stall owner limped and staggered a little, touching the table on the stall, and walking to the stall on the street.

He said to Lian Ge and apologized.

"It's good to sit here and see the people who have passed by."

Lian Ge turned his gaze, shook his head, responded to the words, looked at the stall owner,

The stall owner had a little limp on his feet, and his clothes, pants, and his face were covered with mud. His hands and palms were even worn off.

Sweat was oozing on my forehead, and I was still breathing heavily.

I don't know if it hurts or is it too anxious and tired to come back.

But his face was a little embarrassed and smiling,

“…Hey, when I first came back, I was a little anxious.”

As if he noticed Lian Ge's gaze, the stall owner limped slowly and walked towards the stall, while laughing and explaining,

"... I tripped at the intersection... This trip was really a bit powerful. I stumbled on the ground. It took me a long time to touch the steps on the road next to me and climbed up little by little..."

It seemed that I had walked to the place now, recovered from my spirit, and started to feel a little painful. I touched the table and limped towards the stall a few steps.

The stall owner had a little sweat on his forehead. He touched the table, stopped in place, grinned, and said with a smile.

"...I'm sorry, young man, I've made you wait for so long."

Smiling embarrassedly, the stall owner apologized to Lian Ge.

Looking at the touching the table, he was lame with one foot, and his feet were barely lit on the ground, and he was afraid to put it down, sweat was sucked on his forehead. I don’t know if it was hurt or what, but grinning and embarrassed to smile.

Lian Ge shook his head,

"Standkeeper, please take a break."
