1. Third Story.
Another pocket appeared in front of Mu Ling. Obviously, after she helped Tan Chunjuan get happiness, she could draw another prize.
The gold needles she had drawn before could be used by her to stab people, but don’t know what she will draw this time…
Mu Ling decisively reached out and took out a small ball, this time the small ball became a small pocket in her hand . At the same time, she also knew some information about this small pocket.
This small pocket looks small, but there is actually a cubic space in it. It can’t be used to hold living things, but it can be used to hold dead things. That is to say, after she arrives in the next world, she can collect some things and put them in this pocket. pocket, and then taken to the next world.
Of course, things obviously can’t be so simple. She can’t touch things other than those who need help, and she can’t put things in her pockets, so she has to ask the person she helps to put things in her pockets.
There is such a premise that it is impossible for her to rely on her soul state to steal things, and she can only get what she wants through the person she wants to help.
Hopefully next time the person she’s helping will be a rich man, so that she can collect some goodies for her!
Muling hopes that he can meet a rich man, but the fact is exactly the opposite.
This time, she appeared in a very small room. The room was dark and cramped. A bed and a few cabinets had already filled it up. At the same time, both the bed and the cabinets were extremely old. It could be seen that the woman who was lying sickly on the bed with a rancid smell all over her body was very poor.
But here are some things that seem weird in Mu Ling’s eyes… Before Mu Ling wondered, the situation of the person she wanted to help this time appeared in Mu Ling’s mind, and at the same time, she also knew this era some situations.
This is the Republic.
There is no emperor in this world, and the surrounding barbarians treat the great country as a piece of fat and wantonly devoured it.
Many of the new ideas here would have been considered rebellious in Mu Ling’s era, but they have been gradually recognized here, and all of these made Mu Ling even a soul, unable to help but be excited.
Here, women can even go to school openly and learn all kinds of knowledge… And the woman she wants to help this time is a woman who has finished high school in the new school, called Guo Lianyun.
Guo Lianjun sat in the rented house with a pale face, not knowing where to go.
Her love, her ideals, have been trampled on again and again after she came here, and now she can’t pick it up… And what happened three days ago… After such a disgusting thing happened, she can’t wait to peeled her skin off .
“Guo Lianjun, if you can’t pay the rent tomorrow, then move out. I rent a house, not a charity hall! You’ve been delaying for half a month!” There was a knock on the door from outside the room, and at the same time a sound There was also the voice of the landlady. Guo Lianjun opened her mouth, but her throat was hoarse because she had not eaten or drank for three days, but she could not make a sound at all.
She used to be able to get a few silver dollars from her parents and brother from time to time, but now she has no money, and her family… A few months ago, she wrote a letter to her parents and brother to report safety, but they only told her “Guo Lianyun” is dead – her parents no longer want her as a daughter.
Of course, these are secondary, and what made her most desperate was what happened three days ago, something she had never thought about before, something that would happen to herself.
Playing with the long rope in her hand, Guo Lianyun didn’t know if she should regret it, she only knew that she hated it, she couldn’t hate it, and she wanted to skin those people and eat meat.
Guo Lianyun was born in Peiping, her father served as a civilian in the government, and her brother joined the army. She also lived as a young lady when she was a child, but later, as more and more young women began to enter school learn to read, her father also sent her to school.
She likes to study very much. She studies very hard in school. She has also been exposed to various new ideas, and has participated in some parades and speeches.
She is full of passion, and like many young people, wants to save this decaying world, but things are not so simple.
Her father did send her to a women’s school, and her brother also stood by the new school when she stood in line, but they were still full of old ideas. For example, they all felt that women should get married. Even if they sent her to school, is only because old-fashioned women are not popular anymore, and women who have gone to women’s school or even studied abroad are more likeable.
Under their thinking, she had just graduated from high school and was asked to marry at the age of seventeen. They didn’t even give her a chance to choose, they had already set her a marriage partner early.
However, she doesn’t want to get married at all. She wants to go to college and choose her own future, instead of marrying a random person set by her parents, not to mention that the person she wants to marry is in his thirties and has a wife. ! That wife didn’t even die, she was just left at home by that man!
The man wanted to marry a young girl who had gone to school and shared the same language with him, and wanted a wife who could take him out. Her parents hoped that the man who was already in a high position could pull her brother and let her brother career went smoothly, and the two of them hit it off, but they didn’t consider her wishes at all, and only regarded her as an object.
Guo Lianyun can’t remember how many terrible words her parents used to force her to marry. She only knew that she didn’t want to marry someone she didn’t like, and she didn’t want to marry a husband and teach children so early that she ended up marrying herself. Like my mother and sister-in-law, the world is as big as the family is.
She wanted to see the world, and wanted to contribute her part to reform. After how much she cried, she finally made up her mind to run away with her beloved.
When she was in school, young boys expressed their goodwill to her one after another, and the most enthusiastic one was named Jiang Gaojie.
Jiang Gaojie met her when she was rehearsing the play, and then he often wrote to her. She would often receive a letter every day, and the words in it would make her face flush with shame.
Such an enthusiastic pursuit made her unavoidably have a favorable impression of Jiang Gaojie. Originally it was just a favorable impression, but later her parents forced her to marry and did not care about her thoughts at all, but Jiang Gaojie kept comforting her, and the favorable impression changed immediately. It became a fiery love, and Jiang Gaojie also became the man she thought would go through ups and downs hand in hand with her.
It’s a pity that Jiang Gaojie left her in such a way that would destroy her.
Guo Lianyun hugged her legs, looked at her bruises all over her body, and recalled what happened a few days ago, and once again grasped the rope in her hand and looked at the beams of the house, but soon, she was just like before. Every time she would let go.
Although the landlord is not a good person, she is not a bad person. If she really died here, she would inevitably cause the landlord to not be able to rent the house anymore… Moreover, she didn’t want to make Jiang Gaojie cheap.
She was about to die, so how could Jiang Gaojie still be so beautiful?
Slowly moving to the bedside, Guo Lianyun wanted to go down. Three days ago in the middle of the night, when she sneaked back here wrapped in tattered clothes to avoid the patrol officers, she had no idea what to do next. In the past three days, she had thought of death countless times, but now, she even wanted to hack Jiang Gaojie to death with a knife.
“You want to die?” Mu Ling bent down in mid-air, looking at Guo Lianjun with interest.
“I don’t want to die, and who are you?” Guo Lianyun looked at Mu Ling with a frown. This sudden floating in front of her, I don’t know if it was a ghost or something else, somehow calmed her chaotic mood. Some.
“Aren’t you afraid of me?” Mu Ling asked.
“I’m not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of?” Guo Lianyun twitched the corners of his mouth. She is not even afraid of death, what is there to fear? It’s just that she didn’t expect that she, a person who didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, would be able to see ghosts one day.
“Do you want revenge? Do you want happiness?” Tan Chunjuan looked at Guo Lianyun with admiration and asked.
“Of course I want revenge, but can I still be happy? I have nothing left, and I’m afraid I can’t do it if I want to die with others.” Guo Lianyun sneered.
“Of course you can be happy. There is nothing impossible in such a world where everything is waiting to be rebuilt.” Mu Ling said, holding Guo Lianyun’s hand. Guo Lianyun’s previous experience is no better than that of Su Zihua and Tan Chunjuan. .
Guo Lianyun looked up at Mu Ling: “So you are Aladdin’s magic lamp or something else?”
“I’m just a ghost, but I can help you, what do you want to do?” Mu Ling asked.
“I want to get stronger, step on Jiang Gaojie’s feet, and make his life better than death!” Guo Lianyun’s eyes suddenly burst into a strong hatred.
Although she had thoughts of death, she didn’t actually want to die, and she still had a lot of things to do. When she decided to elope a year ago, she didn’t plan to die so tragically outside!
Guo Lianyun suddenly remembered the events of the past year. A year ago, she sold her jewelry and some valuables to classmates, and then came to the city with Jiang Gaojie on the train to Shanghai.
Many newspapers and magazines have moved here from Peiping. The cultural atmosphere here is stronger than that of Peiping. When they first arrived in the city, they wanted to make a career here.
The two of them worshipped in the rented house, agreed to live forever, and then lived a life of two people.
Although she brought a little money with her when she eloped, it was not much, and Jiang Gaojie had no money, so soon after they settled down, they had to start making a living.
Jiang Gaojie was recognized as a great talent in the school. After arriving here, she began to contribute to newspapers, and she began to look for jobs everywhere.
She thought that she could find a job that was enough to support herself, but in fact few people were willing to hire women, unless they were ordinary female workers or servants, and for these jobs, she couldn’t compete with those low-level women-who would hire women a person who looks like an eldest lady to do rough work?
Her job search was not smooth, and Jiang Gaojie was even more unsuccessful. He immersed himself in writing for a month, and not a single manuscript was accepted. Instead, he bought a lot of newspapers and books for reference, and spent all their savings.
The two almost couldn’t make it through. Fortunately, at this time, she found a job as a waiter in a western restaurant opened by a foreigner.
She has income, but Jiang Gaojie still has no income. She doesn’t think it’s anything, she just thinks that those editors don’t know the goods. After all, she trusts Jiang Gaojie’s literary talent very much.
But Jiang Gaojie’s temper was getting worse and worse, and she was getting worse and worse. It was only after she persuaded Jiang Gaojie to participate in some local student activities that Jiang Gaojie’s attitude finally improved, and she was relieved. The two can talk about their ideals and their beliefs together as before.
Her work is too busy, so supporting Jiang Gaojie to do certain things has become her ideal thing. In order to have money to help those in need, she also helps in the kitchen in addition to the waiter.
She hopes that Jiang Gaojie can soar to the sky one day, she is full of confidence in the future, and she follows the foreign chef to learn foreign languages…
However, a month ago, in the western restaurant where she worked, she saw Jiang Gaojie sitting intimately with a beautiful girl in a dress. Jiang Gaojie coaxed the girl into a happy smile, but his face changed greatly after seeing her. In order not to lose her job, she dared not do anything. She wanted to wait until the evening to go back and ask Jiang Gaojie what happened, but she still lost her job. It was Jiang Gaojie. The girl accompanied by Gao Jie asked the restaurant.
When she returned to the small house they rented, Jiang Gaojiehai had disappeared with all the savings of the two!
She was penniless, so she could only find a job while looking for Jiang Gaojie, and even relied on the church’s alms to fill her stomach. She finally found Jiang Gaojie three days ago.
Or it should be said that she didn’t find him, but Jiang Gaojie took the initiative to see her. Jiang Gaojie took her to an alley, and soon several men rushed out and hugged her…
All that means to her It was a nightmare, a nightmare that could not be recalled at all.
