Flirting with this person? Who is the master referring to
But the master was silent while biting the stick of dry tobacco, frowning slightly, making the wrinkles on his forehead appear deeper.
Seeing that I was dazed, he slapped me on the back and said, "Why are you dazed? Just take a bath."
When Master is unwilling to talk, it is useless to ask more questions. This kind of dialogue is obviously rejecting me, but I am also happy like this. I let myself indulge in this warmth. I know that there are some things in life. There are very few opportunities to replicate it. It is not like eating and sleeping that are repeated every day.
I missed this warmth very much, and in the following time, Master and I were both silent, as if we had returned to the warm days when we were young, night after night.
This invisible warmth surrounded me like a tangible force, making the water in the barrel cool all the time, and I was unaware of it.
--------Dividing line--------
The darkness of the night and the depth of the night can make desperate people even more desperate, but it can also give people the most peaceful escape and the warmth of sleeping... This night, I was lifted up from the barrel by my master in a daze. , the difference from when he was a child is that he can no longer carry me on his back like every time when I fell asleep while taking a bath in the fragrant soup.
He supported me, and in my daze, I let him help me dry my body, put on my clothes, and was put back on the bed by him.
A good night's sleep and a dreamless night.
When I woke up, it was inexplicably noon the next day. I got up from the bed with my upper body naked and looked at the wound on my chest habitually. It had already formed a red scar... After all, such a serious injury could not be healed. Well, sometimes I feel that life is really a miracle.
"Chengyi, are you up? Come out to eat quickly. Everyone is sitting at the table, waiting for you." I was still looking at myself, but my mother had entered my room without knowing when.
"Oh, Mom, I'll be here right away." I turned around and agreed with a smile. I always felt sad looking at my mother. How long have I been guarding her at such an old age? I'm afraid this cannot be calculated in detail. Isn't having such a son sometimes no better than not having one at all
But if you say something like this, you will definitely be scolded by your mother, right
I was still thinking about this, but my mother came over, quickly grabbed a piece of clothing, and started to dress me. I was a little embarrassed, but my mother arranged the collar for me very naturally. He pulled Jia Chang: "You don't know that you were about to die when you were sent back. Master Jiang appeared at our door in the middle of the night. It really scared me to death. Look at him, I am happy again, but still I didn't have time to be happy, so I was frightened by what he said about you being seriously injured."
I laughed: "Mom, what are you scared of? You can always be cured if you are injured. It's not like you are going to die."
"Don't talk nonsense. You are just a piece of flesh that has fallen off my body. I am not afraid that you will be short and long, right?" My mother helped me arrange the collar and buttoned the buttons for me, and then said: "You still have some problems?" It's easy to say, you know? On that day, Master Jiang asked your brother Chengqing to put up 49 ever-burning lanterns outside, ready to force you to lend a hand at any time... That day, Master Jiang kept talking about it, he would never do it in his life. I have never done anything against heaven, but for you, I will go against heaven."
I was stunned and allowed my mother to help me button up my buttons and light 49 ever-burning lanterns to save my life? That's really something that goes against heaven. I didn't expect Master to want to force me to stay, and when he wanted to go against heaven... Is this what Master wants to do? It’s simply unimaginable!
"Then, the reason why I recovered from my injury is..." I subconsciously wanted to ask.
But my mother slapped me on the shoulder angrily, and then said to me: "How is it possible? I don't understand anyway. Anyway, one day, Master Jiang said that you were at a critical moment of life and death, and asked your brother Chengqing to prepare 49 lamps." Changming Lantern, he said that he was fighting against God, and he wanted to take you back... But then, for some reason, Master Jiang said that you had made it through, and there was no need for it. Anyway, after that, you woke up within two days. .”
It's like this. I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered the dream I had in my coma. I was in front of that door, trying to step in, but was forcibly pulled back... I suddenly had a clear understanding, if When I stepped in that day, did I just... .
At this time, my mother had already arranged my clothes and hair, then patted me on the back and said, "What are you still waiting for? Go wash up and eat. I'm waiting for you."
"Oh." I agreed in a daze, and ran to wash up mechanically. I broke out in a cold sweat for no reason. Suddenly, I remembered very clearly that the Taoist boy's will reminded me that if I cross that door, I will It’s time to say goodbye to all the worldly things in this life.
I didn't cross over, so why did Tao Tongzi's will stop me? That will is actually cold. I don’t think there is anything he can care about in this life!
Until we went out to eat, I was still a little stunned, but today no one paid attention to me. On the contrary, the whole dining atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Everyone was silent, including the master who was drinking quietly beside me, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
The food actually tastes very good, but everyone seems to have no appetite. Within half an hour, many people have put down their bowls and chopsticks. It seems that they are full. Only Master, who has been drinking, is unaware. He just kept his head down and drank wine.
"Master Jiang, I want to go out and swim in the deep pool." Hui Gen'er couldn't sit still, especially in such a dull atmosphere, so she couldn't help but mention it.
On normal days, the master would definitely have agreed with a wave of his hand. After all, here, the master has become a decision-maker invisibly. But today, the master seemed a little stunned and couldn't react.
This made Hui Gen'er couldn't help but scratch his head, and called my master urgently.
The master came to his senses and put down the wine glass a little numbly, and then said: "Don't go there today, I have something to say."
"What do you want to say?" Hui Gen'er's character has always been a bit stupid, but Uncle Hui glared at him from the side and said: "Shut up and sit still, what kind of virtue is that!"
Hui Gen'er didn't dare to speak after being scolded by Uncle Hui, and everyone here couldn't help but become serious. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know what Master is going to say right away, right
"Old Chen..." Master didn't say anything directly, but called my dad first.
My dad was also drinking. When my master called me that, he couldn't help but shake the wine glass. The wine in the glass also shook with his hands, spilled out, and poured on the table in front of him. It flowed down onto my dad's pants. When my mom saw it, she couldn't help but hurriedly wiped my dad's pants.
But my dad ignored my mom, and just drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then put the glass heavily on the table, and then said: "Master Jiang, don't say anything." ! After dinner, I took the old woman and Cheng Yi’s two sisters down the mountain. Cheng Yi has been taken care of by you since he was a child, and I have to trouble you to take care of him now that he is older, so let’s not say anything.”
"Dad, are you leaving? But Chengyi?" My eldest sister couldn't help but asked a few questions in confusion.
My dad glared at my eldest sister and said, "It's been more than a month, and you don't care about work anymore? You don't care about your family anymore, and you don't care about your children anymore? It's time to go down the mountain."
The eldest sister was stunned by what my father said, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she said: "But... I haven't spent much time with my brother since he left home. This is rare..."
My second sister also looked at my dad with some worry. My dad has always been very paternalistic and doesn't like to explain. He was about to lose his temper. But it was my mom who pulled my two sisters out, I guess. Tell them the specific reasons.
Just after a while, my two sisters came back, their eyes were red, but they really didn't object anymore, they just looked at me worriedly. Maybe they should know about the fugitive thing.
My master was originally a person who didn’t like too much nonsense. Then he put away his wine glass, filled himself a bowl of rice, then ate with big mouthfuls, and pretended to be very casual and said: "We will set off tonight. , I don’t know when this bamboo forest building will come back again.”
Master just said this, and everyone said nothing more, but they all understood what should be done.
After lunch, my family went down the mountain, and everyone left was packing their luggage. From now on, I don't know where I will end up, and I don't know when this kind of life will end... . .My mood is inexplicably heavy.
In the afternoon, when everyone's luggage was almost packed and ready to set off in the evening, my dad suddenly shouted loudly from the bamboo forest: "Master Jiang, Master Jiang... you guys leave quickly!" "
