林薇把一包没扔远的药草往旁边踢了踢，嘴里嘟囔着：“九天玄女？我呸！就是个倒霉催的。”她蹲在地上，随手把地上那块刻着歪歪扭扭符文的石板摆正了， chunks of broken wood lay scattered nearby, like the remnants of a failed attempt to build a raft. The whole damn thing had been her fault. She'd been floating idly along the edge of the Reincarnation Path—mostly because she'd grown too lazy to do anything else—when she'd accidentally nudged the girl.

Now she was stuck. Down here. In this shithole of a mortal world. The higher-ups were breathing down her neck about finding the girl, and the省内一堆只会拍马屁的烂妖怪还指望她能给他们撑腰。林薇揉了揉发胀的太阳穴，心里一阵窝火。她一把抓起地上半截不知谁扔的树枝，在泥地上乱画起来。

“我靠！这都第几个时辰了？”她骂骂咧咧地，画到一半又狠狠擦掉，“不行，这玩意儿太蠢了！”

前两天，她好不容易从轮回道边缘把那个凡间小姑娘拉回来，结果呢？那小丫头醒来第一句话就是骂她混蛋，骂她耽误了她的日子。林薇当时就火了，指着她的鼻子吼了回去。结果呢？人家反手给她一巴掌，骂她是个见不得光的臭神仙，差点把她掐死。真是赔了夫人又折兵。

“林薇啊林薇，你他妈是不是傻？！”

她狠狠吸了口气，把地上的画扒拉得更烂了。骂也没用，那小丫头既然被她撞进轮回道，就得负责到底。再说了，这破烂身体刚刚被她硬生生从死亡边缘拖回来，现在还虚得很，哪儿还有力气跟那丫头浪费时间。
