All living beings in hell

Chapter 28 - My pet is a rabbit spirit
After the last guest left, I carefully searched the whole room for the broken chair leg, but there was still no clue.Helpless, in order not to cause the chair to overturn, I took out a stack of thick books from the bookshelf and placed it under the chair.It's barely stable.

Thinking that I am in good spirits and physical strength today, I decided to continue to receive the next guest.

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed No.19 guests.

A young woman's voice came from behind the door: "Hi, Mr. Writer."

"Please come in." I spread out a new piece of rice paper and sat behind the wooden table.

A girl in a white robe came bouncing in from the door. Her black hair reached her knees and she wore a big red belt around her waist.When the girl got closer, I realized that she had a pair of white rabbit ears, red eyes, and split lips on her head. She looked like a rabbit spirit.

"Hello, what should I call you?"

"Xuezi Ling." The girl sat on the re-reinforced wooden chair, tilted her head and looked at me, "Master Writer, you look so familiar, have we met before?"

"I don't remember." I answered truthfully, and wrote down the words "Xueziling" on the paper, "Xueziling, may I ask why you are looking for me today?"

"I'm here to repay the favor." Xue Ziling replied.

"Repay the favor? Then how do you want to repay it?"

"I know that your job, sir, is to record what you see and hear in hell, and then bring it back to the world. Then I will tell you my story, and this can be regarded as repayment!" Xuezi blinked her red eyes, " I've never told anyone these stories."

"Well, then tell me."

"You may not remember, you have saved me twice in two lifetimes. The first time was in a snowy winter. You were a poor scholar at that time, reading at night alone in the mountains and forests. It was cold in the mountains and forests. It’s bitter, and there’s nothing to eat. You just dig some wild vegetable roots and cook porridge to eat. Life is very hard. I’m a hare, and in winter, the fur on my body turns snow-white, blending with the mountain snow. I'm really curious about your life, what kind of person is it that chooses to study hard alone in this deep mountain and old forest? I often go to the window to see you, I wonder if you have seen me?"

The memory vaguely emerged following her description, and I poured two cups of hot tea: "Well, keep talking."

"Some days the snow was so heavy that your wooden door couldn't be opened. There was nowhere to look for wild vegetable roots. I don't know if you were hungry or sick. You curled up on the bed and couldn't get up all day long. The oil lamp was not lit, I don't even read books."

"Probably sick."

"Well, you are sick, you have a high fever, and you are hot all over. You walked out of the broken house alone in the middle of the night, wandering in the snow, and met me. I just escaped from a wild animal that day. The civet cat's claws, the hind leg was seriously injured, and the white snow was bright red. I saw you walking towards me, and thought, I'm dying, if you cook and eat it, it can save your life. That's fine too."

"and after?"

"You took me home in your arms. Because you had a high fever and your chest was hot, you actually covered my already cold body. When you got home, you took out the last bit of wild vegetable root and put it in my mouth By the side, I fell on the bed and passed out, and I was still in your chest."

Xue Ziling took a sip of tea and lowered his voice: "The next day, the next day... you will leave."

"I am dead?"

"Yes, my body is cold, as cold as that snow."

"Where did you go after that?"

"I probably lived in the human world for another five or six years. Then I ran into a cave while avoiding the hounds. I happened to meet an old fairy who was practicing Taoism. I was adopted by the old fairy as a pet and taken to heaven. .”

"Then this is the first time I saved you. What about the second time?"

Xuezi smiled without covering her face, and swayed her ears: "It's this life, Mr. Writer, you raised two little white rabbits when you were young, do you remember?"

It was a childhood thing. Looking back carefully, I seem to have indeed raised two white rabbits when I was six years old, one with black eyes and one with red eyes. I begged my mother to buy them from the vegetable market.

"I was bored practicing in the sky, so I wanted to sneak out and come down to the world to play. I never thought that I would enter the animal realm again. This time I became a meat rabbit. After being raised, I will be slaughtered and eaten. "Xuezi looked at me with a zero smile, a pair of rabbit teeth were exposed on the cracked lips, "I still remember the writing master when he was a child, so cute."

The two white rabbits died one after another not long after they were raised, and they both started to have diarrhea for unknown reasons.Logically speaking, the radish, cabbage and rabbit grass were taken care of by good students at that time, and they were put on the balcony to bask in the sun during the day, so they shouldn't get sick.After the rabbit died, I was sad for a long time when I was young.

"Why did you leave so suddenly?" I asked.

"One, rabbits can't drink too much water. Two, we are bored, so we can leave as soon as we want. But I saw you cry for us later, Mr. Writer. It feels so good to be remembered by others." Xuezi Zero looked at me with his chin resting on his hands.

"Okay, so why are you in this hell now?"

"I'm not a creature in hell. I'm still practicing with my master. I came down here to see you. I wanted to see what the writer will look like when he grows up. I didn't expect you to work in hell. I work in heaven. , do we count as colleagues?"

"What do you usually do in Heaven?"

"Chanting scriptures, meditating, practicing Dharma. If I am reincarnated, I don't want to be a rabbit anymore, but also want to play as a human again. My lord, is it fun to be a human?"

"Then you have to experience it yourself to know if it's fun."

"Really, what's the deal?" Xue Ziling muttered.

"It's not a secret, what I see is what I see after all. Talking too much will only add unnecessary confusion to you."

"The writer is really serious. He has been so serious since he was a child."

"If you want me to bring a sentence back to the world, what would you say?" I asked the rabbit in front of me.

Xue Ziling looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment, her lips twitched: "Actually, as pets, we can also feel loved by our owners. It feels really good to be loved. Our lives are short, but Don't worry too much, we have our own places after we leave the world," Xue Ziling took a sip of hot tea and paused, "Okay, that's it. Shouldn't you go back, my lord?"

"Well, it's about time," I said.

Xue Ziling stood up, and this time the chair behind her did not fall down: "Then let's see each other by fate."

"Thank you for visiting me."

"You're welcome, I'm really glad to see you like this."

"Me too, very happy."

Xue Ziling jumped to the door of the office, looked back at me, and moved a pair of rabbit ears: "Goodbye, Mr. Writer."

"Goodbye." I said.
