Chapter 121 If there is an afterlife
"What are you keeping these worthless things for?"
Ma Hongxia couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw Sun Sanlu picking and choosing, reluctant to throw away this one and sell that one.
"This kettle doesn't look good, but it can still be used. It would be a pity to throw it away." Sun Sanlu was carrying a kettle with a flat corner, his face full of reluctance.
"Take it and sell it, just bring a few clothes."
"This is what you bought from the market back then. It has been used for many years." Sun Sanlu murmured.
It turned out that they brought this hot water kettle from home.
"Well, then you can keep it for now." Ma Hongxia sighed and did not persuade her again.
But soon, she couldn't help but said: "Why do you still keep these clothes of mine? I can't even wear them anymore."
Sun Sanlu didn't say anything, just packed up Ma Hongxia's clothes and prepared to take them with her.
He had already washed these clothes and neatly folded them in a bag.
Why didn't Ma Hongxia understand what Sun Sanlu was thinking? Seeing his stubbornness, she knew that persuasion was useless, so she just let him go.
Sun Sanlu put a large bundle of scraps into the back of the tricycle, and then said to Ma Hongxia: "You sit in the back and I will pull you."
"I won't go. I'll wait here for you to come back." Ma Hongxia said.
But Sun Sanlu insisted: "Come up, I haven't carried you for a long time, and I feel very tired."
As he spoke, he forcibly helped Ma Hongxia into the back of the car.
Then he happily stepped into the car, turned around, and grinned.
"Sit tight."
Seeing Ma Hongxia nod, he gently kicked the tricycle, and the tricycle moved forward smoothly.
Ma Hongxia looked at Sun Sanlu's rickety back, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but get wet again.
"I feel much older. I don't have as much strength as before..." Sun Sanlu said while pedaling the car, panting.
Since Ma Hongxia left, Sun Sanlu's aging seems to have accelerated, and his whole person is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How old are you? Isn't that what you should do when you get old? Stop talking and save your energy."
"Hehe, I want to talk to you more, but I won't have the chance in the future." Sun Sanlu said with a naive smile.
"You've been saying this all your life, haven't you said enough yet?"
"Of course not enough, Hongxia, do you think there will be an afterlife?" Sun Sanlu asked.
"Of course." Ma Hongxia said.
But in fact, she knew that there was no such thing. Dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust.
Maybe reincarnation is a scam, a scam woven for the sake of living people.
"It's good to have reincarnation, it's good to have reincarnation..."
"Then I will stay with you in the next life. This time, you come to me earlier." Ma Hongxia said with a smile, but her eyes were already filled with tears.
"No, no, if there really is a next life, you'd better stop following me."
"What? Are you starting to dislike me?"
"Of course not. I am incompetent. If there is a next life, you should find a better one. Don't be useless like me." Sun Sanlu said with a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're pretty good."
"Hongxia, you are always so kind and always say things I like to hear, but do I know if I am good or not?" Sun Sanlu said.
Ma Hongxia was silent and didn't speak any more. Sun Sanlu looked back at her and saw that she was still there. He seemed relieved and turned around to continue riding.
"Follow me and you will never live a good life for a few days. I also want you to have nice clothes, a spacious and bright house to live in, a car to go in and out, and not to worry about what to eat every day..."
"It's not necessarily a good thing to live like that."
"Why is it bad?"
"At that time, could you still carry me around like you do now?" Ma Hongxia asked.
"As long as you think about it, it's definitely possible." Sun Sanlu said.
But Ma Hongxia knew that if she really lived like that, she might not be as good as she was right now. "Stop talking about this, be careful going downhill."
The two of them talked and quickly came to a nearby scrap station, where Sun Sanlu and the car were sold together.
“Aren’t you going to collect scraps in the future?”
The boss of the waste collection was a little surprised.
"I won't accept it anymore. I'm going back to my hometown."
"It is true that at such an old age, you can go home and enjoy the blessings."
When Sun Sanlu heard this, he didn't even explain. He took a hundred or so pieces of money and pulled Ma Hongxia back.
When the scrapyard owner saw the two people leaving, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at their affection.
After walking back to the bridge pier, the two threw all the remaining garbage into the nearby trash can, and then carefully cleaned the bridge pier.
Sun Sanlu put a worn-out backpack on his back, picked up Ma Hongxia's ashes, and looked back at the empty bridge.
"Hongxia, let's go home."

Sun Sanlu greeted Ma Hongxia and prepared to set off.
But Ma Hongxia stood still and didn't move, just looking at him with a complicated expression.
Sun Sanlu said blankly: "Is it time?"
Ma Hongxia nodded.
An old smile appeared on Sun Sanlu's shriveled face.
"It's okay, I can do it alone, you don't have to worry."
He said, turned his head, hugged the ashes and continued walking forward.
But after walking for a while, he felt uneasy after all. When he looked back, he saw that the place was empty, and he couldn't hold back the tears after all.
——
Shen Siyuan played a fishing game while the three little guys looked on.
Doudou, in particular, stared intently and seemed very interested.
"This is much more fun than dad fishing, sweet potato pot pot, can you play with me..."
"Not now, let's wait until we get home."
"Oh~" Doudou was a little disappointed when he heard this.
At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew in, and Ma Hongxia appeared in the office.
As a dead soul that had been mounted on the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner], it was natural for him to find Shen Siyuan's location.
"Ah, you scared me." Doudou jumped on the spot.
Ma Hongxia said nothing and knelt down directly to Shen Siyuan.
There were so many people in the office at this time, Shen Siyuan couldn't say anything, so he stood up and walked out the door.
Before Ma Hongxia understood the situation, she was pulled up by Yin Xingyue.
"You come with me."
Then when he came to the conference room, Shen Siyuan said: "Have you thought it through?"
Ma Hongxia nodded and said: "He probably doesn't have much time left. I want to be by his side."
"Then you go, but you have to remember not to reveal yourself easily, so as not to have a bad impact." Shen Siyuan said.
As the banner master, Shen Siyuan's words were the law, and it was impossible for Ma Hongxia to violate it.
Hearing this, Ma Hongxia looked happy and knelt down to kowtow to Shen Shenyuan again, but he did not stop her.
After kowtowing and getting up, he showed another smile to the three little guys, and then disappeared into a gust of wind.
But what surprised Shen Siyuan was that the merit didn't come this time.
However, Shen Siyuan didn't help the other party for merit, so he didn't dwell on the issue and went back to work.
But about half an hour later, four rays of merit suddenly fell from the sky into his sea of consciousness, which really surprised Shen Siyuan.
