Facing Jin An's questions, "A Ping" was heartbroken and wanted to speak, but suddenly he bent over and covered his heart in pain and was speechless.
Jin An looked at it and nervously asked the red umbrella girl Zhizharen beside him: "Girl in red, what is going on with him? Is there a conflict between the human heart and the Zhizharen?"
But there was no reply from the girl in red umbrella, "A Ping", who was wearing the umbrella. Suddenly he raised his hand and made a fist. Bang bang bang was like a hammer hitting his heart. Every time he hit it with all his strength, that one was too heavy.
And the slow-beating heart began to beat with all its strength in pain.
　　咚!
　　咚!
　　咚!
 The heart beats harder and harder, and drops of blood flow rapidly throughout the body.
 Poof.
The paper-pricked person "Aping" opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
That's because the heart is unwilling and there is a blood clot in the heart.
After spitting out the blood, Zhizhao's "Aping"'s chest pain eased a little, and he stood up again and bowed to Jin An and the red umbrella girl Zhizhao, just because
The relationship between the person and the person is paper-pricked. Although I want to express gratitude, the muscles on my face are stiff and expressionless.
 Aping: "Thank you...Thank you..."
To ordinary people, these two words are very short, but it took him a long time to finish them. It was as if a person who had been enclosed in darkness was suddenly let out. He had somewhat lost his ability to speak and was still getting familiar with it.
 “What exactly happened that day?” Jin An was curious about the memory that he hadn’t finished reading yet.
A Ping shook his head: "Taoist Master, you...are a good person...there are some things that I...A Ping...can do alone...I don't want to involve too many people..."
 When he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at his exposed heart, which was beating heavily with all his strength.
Jin An looked at each other sincerely: "Back then, you kindly took in three little beggars, which led to your murder. However, the lady behind the bun shop not only did not harm me, but was kind to me. She still kindly accepted an outsider into the shop. You and your wife
They are all good people! And without the help of the proprietress, I would not have been able to successfully subdue the jumping corpse in this Fushou shop. In total, the proprietress helped me several times, and I only helped the proprietress once. I still owe the proprietress a favor, so
There is no need to worry about anything, well, you have to pay it back, otherwise you will only owe more and more."
 He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
 He did want to help this kind-hearted couple.
After learning about the bad luck and suffering that had happened to the couple, he could more deeply understand how much courage it took for the landlady to take him in when she was kind enough to take that step.
 “Shu Fang!”
Zhizharen Aping only had no difficulty when he mentioned this name, as if he had remembered this name in his heart for a long time.
He was eager to return home, but when he ran to the door of Fushou Store, he stopped again. He moved very carefully and reluctantly and lay behind the door to look at the bun shop opposite.
The steamed stuffed bun shop is still open late at night, and the dancing fire is like a tiny glimmer of light in the dark night, and like a watchman's stone waiting for her husband to come home at the door, hoping that one day her husband will be able to come home.
After returning home, the proprietress had been quietly waiting at the door of the bun shop, looking at the closed Fu Shou shop.
There was obviously only one door between them, but Aping never had the courage to open the door and take that step. The expression on his face was longing, pain, and reluctance. If someone could shed tears even if he was stabbed with paper, he might have burst into tears at this time.
"child……"
“They took away…my…and Shufang’s child…”
"When I get my child back...then can I stand in front of Shufang with a clear conscience..."
He took one last reluctant look at the landlady, and stepped back step by step, far away from the door. His exposed heart was filled with guilt.
Two people who had been separated for many years should have reunited happily, but because of the distance between them, they became people in two different worlds. There is a kind of distance, which is called the world's end. Although you and I are very close, you can hear me.
My heartbeat is beating, I can see your slanting shadow of the falling moon, but it is difficult to meet you in this life, just like the farthest horizon, because I cannot stand in front of you with a clear conscience.
A Ping covered his heart and bent over in pain. He repeatedly hit his heart with his fist. After spitting out another mouthful of blood, the angina in his heart eased.
 In fact, when he heard A Ping say that his child had been snatched away, Jin An immediately had a bad premonition and his expression darkened.
Thinking of A Ping's words and the blood that had been flowing on the proprietress's legs, although the other party did not say what happened to him, Jin An already understood that this child may not have seen the world yet and was raped in front of his parents.
Cut out alive from the belly of a pregnant woman.
 When he thought of this truth, Jin An felt heavy in his head.
 What does the ghost mother want to do?
 Why let him go through this!
 What is the truth of this nightmare world?
I don't know whether it was because of the incident between the Baozipu couple or because there were too many distracting thoughts in his mind, Jin An felt a little upset.
 Jin An: "Actually, she has been waiting for you to come back."
A Ping squatted down again with angina pectoris. His heart was spasming and painful. The heart was like a person's emotions. It showed everything and allowed outsiders to directly see the changes in his heart. A Ping hammered his heart several times again.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, my heart spasm got better.
 He stood up again: "I know."
 Jin An: "Then why don't you go see her?"
“She worked so hard to survive for you.”
A Ping covered his heart again. This time he resisted the pain in his heart. Just as he resisted the idea of ​​seeing the person he cared about most and chose to retreat, he had no choice but to retreat: "That's why I want to find my way back."
Our children.”
 As he talked more with Jin An, Aping became more and more fluent in speech.
Jin An thought for a while: "But I still think your idea is a bit extreme and selfish. The reunion of relatives will not delay you and your wife from working together to find a way to find the child."
A Ping: "Taoist Master Jin'an, are you married and established, and do you have any children?"
Jin An shook his head.
A Ping's face showed a sad and painful expression: "The pain and self-blame of losing a child, maybe you, Taoist Jin'an, can't understand it. I don't want Shufang to recall the past memories because of those three demons. This heavy feeling,
I would like to carry it alone."
"Please tell me, Taoist Master Jin An, that I feel guilty now and cannot stand in front of her. Some things must be done by someone, someone must bear them, and someone must redeem them!"
 …
 …
As the door of the Fu Shou shop was opened from the side and Jin An came out, the proprietress of the bun shop immediately looked over. She looked through Jin An's body and looked behind Jin An, but Jin An was the only one who walked out of the Fu Shou shop.
people.
Jin An glanced at the boss's wife with a complicated expression. He first said that everything went well, and then told the boss's wife exactly what A Ping asked him to tell him.
 After hearing this, the lady boss of the bun shop was silent at first, then walked back to the bun shop, took out the steamed meat buns for Jin An and put them on the table.
"eat."
Jin An understood that the landlady was not good at talking, so this was a way to thank him and express gratitude. He was already feeling a little uncomfortable, so he grabbed the meat buns and wolfed them down without hesitation, praising the landlady's craftsmanship while eating.
good.
Squeak, the gray fairy also jumped on the table and ate until his belly was round.
Since I haven’t eaten for a day, although I have hastily eaten a few meat buns before, I am not very hungry with those meat buns. One person and one rat ate two cages of meat buns this time before I finally couldn’t eat any more.
When Jin An and Hui Daxian returned to Fu Shou shop, Jin An also brought back some meat buns for Zhi Zhanren, the red umbrella girl.
“Girl in red, this is what the proprietress of the bun shop across the street asked me to bring to you to express my gratitude.”
Jin An found several plates and placed the steaming meat buns on them. At the same time, he placed a few wads of paper money and gold ingots under the meat buns, then lit three incense sticks and stuck them on the meat buns.
 As the incense burns, the meat buns become moldy and shrivel up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
 The landlady’s husband Aping is no longer in the store. He wants to leave and there is nothing he can do to stop him.
After eating and drinking, Jin An began to count all his current wealth, because he planned to explore the world outside this street and wanted to see how big this bloody world was.
If he could meet A Ping and help him take revenge together, the couple were both good people, and he sincerely hoped that they could reunite soon and continue to run the bun shop.
 One amulet, one peach wood sword to ward off evil spirits, three strange incense sticks, one copper coin from the Five Emperors, nine coffin nails, and a "Record of Collecting Corpses"...
After taking this inventory, Jin An realized that he had become so rich.
To be continued...
