With Liu Shan's agreement, the matter was settled.
That night I got a godson.
Liu Shan said, his name is Liu Buyi.
It was to commemorate how difficult it was for Aya to give birth to him.
And after Liu Buyi kowtowed to me and timidly called me godfather, I just felt that my body felt relaxed for no reason, as if something that had originally enveloped me disappeared.
I finally understood what the old smoker meant by replenishing the soul.
I became involved with Liu Buyi, and his soul made up for my lack, so the layer that vaguely obscured the secret of heaven for me became weaker.
After that, under the arrangement of the old smoker, I and Liu Shan and his son built a tomb for Li Ya in the open space at the entrance of Niang'er Village.
In the words of the old smoker, although she is not completely in Niang'er Village, whenever Li Ya wants to go back and have a look, she can go back at any time, and there, she can look at Niang'er Village at any time.
Liu Shan was very satisfied with this, and after thanking the old smoker, he took Liu Buyi away.
Although he never said thank you to me from beginning to end, I could see an indescribable emotion in the eyes of my cheap godson Liu Buyi.
I feel that maybe we will meet again soon.
At this point, my first step in replenishing my life can be considered completed.
However, when I got home, the old smoker immediately started packing my things.
He looked impatient, as if he wanted me to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing me standing still, the old smoker urged: "What are you still doing?"
"You should leave as soon as daybreak."
"So fast?" I was a little surprised.
Originally, I thought it was up to me to decide when to leave, but judging from the old smoker's attitude, I didn't seem to be qualified to make the decision.
The old smoker rolled his eyes at me.
"if not?"
"Liu Shan should take his son away tomorrow, and you should follow him then."
"With the soul of your godson as a cover, you can leave Niang'er Village. Otherwise, no one can take you out."
I froze for a moment.
But I soon understood.
The excruciating feeling I had when I tried to leave Niang'er Village made me tingle and shudder just thinking about it. I didn't want to feel it again unless I had to.
But thinking about this, I still feel a little guilty.
Subconsciously he asked: "Are you sure nothing will happen?"
The old smoker nodded affirmatively.
"I can't guarantee it if it was before, but this time your godson is second, and the most important thing is..." The old smoker glanced at the big red coffin in the room, and then closed it.
Mouth.
I knew it in my heart, so I didn't ask any more questions and prepared to clean up together.
But I don't have anything worth packing.
After living in Niang'er Village for so many years, everything in my house was left behind by the old madman during his lifetime. Even the clothes I wore were prepared by the old madman in advance without knowing what the circumstances were.
As for the paper money, the chickens, ducks, and vegetables you raise, obviously you can't take them with you.
After struggling for a while, the old smoker finally found only a change of clothes for me. Then, while saying that he had never seen me so shabby, he took out a stack of red paper and handed it to me.
Those red papers are, of course, City God stickers.
I'm still a little repelled by Chenghuang Tie.
Not to mention how powerful this city god is, just because of its name and its relationship with the city god, I don’t like it from the bottom of my heart.
So when the old smoker wanted to give me the stack of city god stickers, I just shook my head and refused.
When the old smoker saw this, he glared at me directly, then stuffed all the Chenghuang stickers into my hands and said, "I know you feel uncomfortable."
"But if you go out this time, you will probably escape death. These city gods may be able to save your life."
"And these City God stickers do not belong to the nearby City God. Even if you use them, they have nothing to do with the person who wants to kill you."
Speaking of which, the old smoker took a puff of cigarette, and then continued: "I don't have much ability."
"I can't teach you what I know."
"That's it. If you really don't want it, just throw it away when the time comes."
"Anyway, you have to hold it for me, so that the guy doesn't have to scold me in his dreams when he finds out."
I don't know why, but when I heard the old smoker's words, I suddenly felt a bit sore in my nose.
I only spent a few days with him, but I could really feel that he was really helping me, although I wasn't sure whether what he said was true or not.
But the feeling of peace he gave me was something I had only experienced from an old madman in my life.
So much so that there were times when I always thought of him as an old lunatic.
I didn't refuse anymore and kept the Chenghuang sticker.
The old smoker was satisfied and continued to sit at the door, smoking and looking outside.
I don't know what he is looking at either.
Anyway, I saw that his eyes seemed a little red.
I didn't bother him, but quietly sat on the bed and looked at the big red coffin beside the bed.
If such a coffin had been placed next to my bed before, I would have only felt scared, but this time I felt reluctance and guilt.
In this way, the old smoker sat at the door all night and smoked all night. I also looked at the big red coffin on the bed all night, and I also had an idea in my mind.
That is, no matter how difficult it is, I will come back.
No matter what, I want to know the truth.
I want to see the real Niang'er Village.
See her!
And as the barking of the remaining one or two wild dogs came, I also saw Liu Shan's group of people walking towards the outside of Niang'er Village. The old smoker immediately urged me to follow them.
I was reluctant to give up, but I still caught up with my simple luggage containing a change of clothes.
As for the old smoker, he did not follow him, but went back to the house directly.
Soon Liu Shan saw me. He was stunned for a moment, then he greeted me warmly, and even called Liu Buyi my godfather, even though the people around him looked at him in surprise.
Hearing Liu Buyi's call "Godfather", I laughed out loud and subconsciously said "Hello".
Liu Shan looked around and then asked me: "Where are you going?"
I pointed at the iron bump he was driving and said, "Let's go."
"Going!"
Because I have to pretend to be stupid, I try not to make it as clear as possible.
Fortunately, Liu Shan understood.
He was a little surprised and said: "You want to come with us?"
I smiled and nodded.
Liu Shan was stunned for a moment again, then quickly waved his hand and said, "How about that?"
"The old gentleman will know later..."
However, before Liu Shan finished speaking, the old smoker had arrived without knowing when.
"Just let him go with you."
"You are from the city. You should pass by a place called Fengling Village on your way back. Then you can leave him there. He has relatives there who will take care of him."
"Really?" Liu Shan was still a little confused.
The old smoker patted Liu Shan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry."
"Don't think he's stupid now, he won't be stupid after he leaves Niang'er Village."
