I become a god in another world

Chapter 445 Memories of the Past
Chapter 445

Meng Po's face darkened.

"Whoosh-whoosh--" Two gusts of cold wind suddenly blew outside the Wu family's courtyard.

The cold wind blew away the mist that was mixed with red haze in the bleak green, and replaced it with a light pink mist that appeared at some point.

'hiss. '

Ding Datong, Wu Shaochun and others shivered and felt a little cold.

Meng Po stared at the old man with a stiff and cold face for a long time, then suddenly grinned.

Her face suddenly glowed red, shining on her forehead and nose bridge, while dark shadows were cast around her eye sockets, nose wings and lips.

The blood red and black shadows blended together, forming a strange and terrifying situation.

When the Fan brothers and Zhang Chuanshi saw Meng Po's appearance, they were so frightened that they trembled and instinctively wanted to retreat. But at the moment they took a step, they remembered Zhao Fusheng's previous warning: Don't retreat!

There is a vicious ghost hidden in the Wu's house. The rule for killing people who encounter the ghost is to retreat.

Several people stopped dead in their tracks.

The old gatekeeper of the Wu family, who was staring at Meng Po in bewilderment, seemed to be completely unaware of Meng Po's change. He still maintained an impatient and indifferent expression, staring at Meng Po: "Are you selling your daughter?" After saying that, he reached out to open the door.

A thin arm stretched out from the crack of the door, trying to grab Zhao Fusheng: "Is this your daughter——"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Po's mouth widened even further.

Tears of blood began to accumulate in her eyes.

There was a bloody hole on Meng Po's chest and back, and blood flowed out of her body. When it flowed to her waist and abdomen, it did not continue to flow down, but turned into light smoke and rose slowly.

Two blood lines surrounded her in the middle, gradually converging above Meng Po's head and turning into a bright red moon.

"Blood moon!"

Hu Rong cried out in shock.

Meng Po's blood moon had been intercepted on the ship many days ago in order to suppress Shen Yishu, but it was reunited at this time because of the words of the old gatekeeper of the Wu family.

As soon as he finished shouting, Meng Po laughed twice, stared at the old man and said: "I won't sell my daughter--"

Her voice was slow and a little hoarse, as if she was short of breath, and there was a faint gasp in it.

After she finished speaking, her tone slowed down and she suddenly reached into the big hole in her chest.

After a moment, she pulled out several bloody lumps from the hole in her chest and handed them to the old man: "Guest, there is no Mengpo soup left. Would you like some candy?"

When she said this, her voice was filled with a strong sense of death, but the corners of her mouth widened abnormally: "Medicinal candy - my daughter's favorite -"

No one, not even ghost, can refuse Meng Po's request.

The blood-red mist rushed into the gate of the Wu family. The old man guarding the gate seemed to be bewitched by her tone. He involuntarily turned his hand that was reaching out to Zhao Fusheng and reached out to Meng Po.

The moment his fingers touched Meng Po's palm, Meng Po clenched her fingers, preventing him from grabbing the candy.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and Meng Po asked: "My daughter is missing. Her name is Shen Yishu. Have you seen her? You ate my candy. If you know where she is, please let me know -"

The old man's face was also reflected with a special red glow, his forehead and nose bridge were shiny white, while his lips and eye circles were black.

Hearing Meng Po's words, he nodded stiffly.

Meng Po then slowly spread out her palm, and the old man's slow fingers touched her palm and touched the medicine candy.

The moment his fingertips touched the candy, his fingers were like powdered ash, shattered at the touch, and turned into dust that flew into the air.

"My daughter is missing—a message—"

Meng Po was still muttering to herself.

The old man's fingers turned into dust, and the powder quickly spread upwards along his fingertips, instantly scattering his palms and forearms.

His body was falling apart, but the other side of his body instinctively twisted when he heard Meng Po's words.

"Crack." The old man's face shattered silently, like cracked ceramics.

As he turned around, a deep crack appeared on the top of his head, tearing his cheek and cutting into his throat and chest.

He raised his hand and pointed towards the garden. Half of his body exploded silently, turned into dust and was wrapped in the red mist. The other half fell down intact, but shattered before it hit the ground.

"...Mother, Shao Yin and I have a lot in common. He comes from a merchant family. Although he is engaged in business, he is not slick. On the contrary, he is honest. His parents are also decent people."

The old man's body had disappeared from the spot, leaving only the two half-open doors of the Wu family, opening and closing with the passing cold wind.

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed wider and wider by the wind, and the scene of Wu Mansion appeared in front of everyone, which was completely different from the previous scene.

At some point, the sky around them had darkened and a red light was visible in the mansion.

"..."

County Magistrate Jiang and Qian Zhongying looked at each other with fear on their faces.

Meng Po was shocked when the old man pointed at the mansion. It was as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened. She murmured to herself, "...His parents knew that business was hard and wanted to support him to study. They knew my background and loved me very much. They wanted to find my parents for me--"

"elder brother--"

Fan Wujiu was very confused after hearing what Meng Po said. He subconsciously looked at Fan Bisi: "Meng Po, she——"

"Shh." Fan Bisi frowned and shouted.

Zhao Fusheng had already understood what was going on. He lifted Kuai Manzhou's clothes with both hands, grabbed him from his thighs, and held him in his arms with one arm: "This is the letter Meng Po received!"

She reacted quickly and after hearing what Meng Po said, she realized that this should be the special blood letter that Meng Po received from her daughter on the night more than forty years ago.

"——We plan to return to Shangyang County first, decorate the old house, and then wait for the wedding in the house. After the wedding, we will take a boat south to Wuli County, Tongzhou, to meet our parents——"

When Meng Po read this, tears of blood welled up in her eyes.

'whee. '

The girl's laughter rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone was shocked.

The originally rotten door had been completely renovated at some point. The copper ring for knocking on the door was polished to a shine, and the mottled red paint on the door looked as if it had just been painted - everyone could even smell the residual smell of paint.

The reddish-brown sewage on the ground had disappeared without a trace at some point, and was replaced by a freshly cleaned ground paved with pebbles and sprinkled with wood ash, which felt dry and clean to walk on.

The small blood-red footprints all over the ground were gone, and there were even two exquisite and beautiful lanterns hanging at the door of Wu's mansion, with two words written on each lantern: Sun.

"Fusheng, look——"

Liu Yizhen, who was on guard, was the first to notice the words printed on the lantern and shouted.

Everyone looked up as he shouted.

Qian Zhongying didn't know what he was thinking, and he said inexplicably: "Wasn't it said to be the Wu Mansion? How come it became the Sun Mansion--" Before he finished speaking, his body had already sensed the crisis and began to tremble honestly.

Qian Zhongying wanted to step back, but the 'Evil Ghost Law' that Zhao Fusheng had mentioned earlier frightened him so much that he stopped where he was.

Fan Wujiu kindly explained: "Didn't the county magistrate named Jiang say that the predecessor of the Wu Mansion was named Sun——"

After he finished speaking, he realized it belatedly and his eyes widened immediately: "Sir, we went back to the past?!"

"No." Zhao Fusheng shook his head calmly.

At this moment, she sensed that the evil spirit aura around her was gradually getting stronger, and a dangerous aura began to spread around.

But the danger was not so great as to scare her to death.

She had more than 200,000 merit points in her hands, as well as door gods, ghost messengers, ghost carriages, etc., so she didn't need to flee in a panic.

"The law of time's reverse flow is not so easy to touch--" She shook her head and glanced at Meng Po: "Most likely--"

She only said half of her words, but even someone as slow-witted as Fan Wujiu understood the meaning of the rest of her words - the strangeness of the Wu family at this time might be related to Meng Po.

'whee. '

The woman's laughter rang out again.

"whee--"

This time it sounded more real.

Several footsteps could be heard, and a woman's crisp voice of rebuke rang out: "Hurry up and get to work. There are so many things to do with the engagement recently. The wedding date is set for March 9th. I need to prepare the gift money, and I'm very busy-"

As they were talking, the woman's voice was getting closer and closer to the crowd. A few more footsteps were heard, as if someone had caught up with the woman and was walking side by side with her: "Sister Yuan, where are you going?"

Ah Yuan said, "Madam told me to go to Wang's Silk Shop in the county and buy a roll of red cloth to measure enough for Miss Shen and make a few more pairs of wedding shoes as a backup."

"Oh, wedding shoes?" The girl exclaimed, "Shouldn't my parents prepare these? Why do you let my family prepare them?"

Another girl said, "Yes, yes. A woman should marry from her parents' home. Why is she marrying from our old house?"

"Sister Ayuan serves Miss Shen. What kind of person is she?"

Everyone asked at once.

Ah Yuan's voice suddenly became serious:
"You gossip all day long. The master and the mistress are good-tempered and treat you like daughters. Don't say some nonsense and don't ruin Miss Shen's reputation."

The atmosphere in the Sun family seems to be good, the master is kind and the servants are good.

As soon as she finished scolding, the others burst into laughter, begging and acting coquettishly: "Good sister, no, we are just curious, please tell me."

"Miss Shen is a miserable person. It seems that she got separated from her family for some reason. She is originally from Tongzhou, and her family is an official——"

"So he is an official——"

"No wonder he looks so gentle and refined. His wife likes him so much."

"Yes." A Yuan nodded: "But something seemed to have happened in the middle. She was stranded in Xuzhou alone. She met the young master in Wan'an County, Xuzhou, and suffered a lot." After that, she warned the maids:

"Don't say these things to anyone."

"I know, Sister Yuan, we will never tell anyone else."

"Miss Shen's parents are not in Yizhou. She lives here with us, so she plans to get married first, and then take a boat south with the young master to meet her parents."

A Yuan's words were consistent with what Meng Po had muttered earlier.

"Master and Madam plan to purchase supplies in Shangyang County, and we are afraid of being disrespectful to the Shen family."

"Shangyang County?" When the girls who had been lively before heard the word 'Shangyang County', they finally showed fear in their tone: "I heard that Shangyang County is not very peaceful——"

"Yeah, they say a lot of people died, and it seems like it's haunted—"

As soon as the girls finished speaking, A Yuan said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll get into trouble."

"I heard that the Shangyang County Demon Suppression Division is haunted. Is it true or false?"

Although A Yuan had prestige, the Sun family did not control their subordinates strictly. After the girls' initial fear, curiosity surged in their hearts again.

"I heard about this when the master came back last time and I went to serve tea. It was said that the Demon Suppression Division had been buying women. These women went in and never came out again. Someone heard someone crying in the middle of the night—"

"You heard it from others." Ah Yuan scolded, "Don't say such things. It will cause trouble for the master and the mistress."

After she said this, everyone fell silent.

With a creaking sound, the tightly closed door was opened, and a round-faced woman about 18 years old walked out of the door, saying as she walked: "Work hard, I'm going to Wang's Cloth Shop--"

After she finished speaking, her figure passed through the bodies of Zhao Fusheng and others, and soon the shadow turned into fine sand and dissipated in the surroundings.

The gate of Sun's house opened, and the 'human shadows' inside intertwined with the shadows of the trees, forming a swaying shadow.

The red fog around became thicker.

The red moon above Meng Po's head reappeared, and under the moonlight, all irrelevant people and things were abandoned.

These shadows flashed before everyone's eyes like a revolving lantern, and finally the scene that Meng Po wanted to see appeared before everyone's eyes.

At this time, the Sun Mansion was like a special stage, performing a special scene for Meng Po.

……

"Yishu, why are you still doing needlework? I heard from my mother that you have been working so hard lately that you have lost your appetite and turned off the lights very late at night--" a man's gentle voice sounded.

When she heard this name, Meng Po's body began to tremble constantly.

The red moon became bright again, and a huge black hole appeared in her chest.

"The wedding dress is almost ready, except for a pair of shoes." A young girl's soft voice sounded.

"Shao Yin, our wedding is coming up, but I always feel a little uneasy."

"What's wrong?" the man asked with concern, "Are you too tired?"

"No." The girl shook her head: "No matter how tired I am, how can it be as tired as I was in the beggar's alley that day? I was always afraid at that time--"

"Alas." She sighed softly, her voice trembling, "I was afraid that I would never live again. I thought at that time that if I finished the bag of candy my mother gave me, I would die. I didn't dare to eat or sleep during those days. I was so tired that I couldn't stand steadily. I was afraid that I would fall asleep and I didn't know where I went—"

"You saved me, so I finally dared to sleep soundly."

After that, both of them were silent for a moment.

"Then why are you uneasy?" The man broke the silence and asked, "Are you missing home?"

"Maybe." The girl answered, "I have never been separated from my parents for such a long time since I was a child. My mother loves me very much. I don't know how sad she must be when she knows I am missing--"

She choked up a little when she said this, but quickly changed the subject: "But if she knew that I was saved by her future son-in-law, she would definitely be very grateful to you."
