"Master, this Surou family has a big cherry tree. When I was a kid, we would destroy it every year when it was bearing fruit." Everywhere I walked through the village, I couldn't help but tell Master about a past event. At that time, I happened to pass by Surou House.
"Oh? You're leaving tomorrow, why don't you talk to Surou?" the master asked with a smile.
I was silent for a moment and said, "You said Surou and I would see each other again in the future, so I won't say that anymore."
"good."
"Master, Liu Chunyan is not here. I haven't seen her during this winter vacation. I heard that the county school makes up classes early."
"If Liu Chunyan writes to you from now on, you won't be able to receive it."
"How did you know Liu Chunyan wrote to me?"
"That's what Surou said."
"***!"
"Master, when I was a kid, I loved to come to this field to break the corn. The corn grown here is the most delicious."
"Master, this ditch is my favorite place to soak in water when I was a child..."
"Master, I had a fight in this small bamboo forest. We arranged a duel after school..."
Facing the scenes of memories, Master and I unknowingly walked to the countryside. Master asked me: "Would you like to go to the school and have a look?"
"The school is no longer there, and there are not many people there now. A place like school always needs people to be a place of memories."
"Okay, let's go get some food."
It was still the old lady’s house. This time, it happened to be noon, and four generations of her family were eating together. It was very ordinary, but the atmosphere was extraordinarily warm. The two uninvited guests, Master and I, were also warmly entertained, because People in the countryside remembered Master about the last insecticide treatment.
In particular, the old lady kept saying: "You came to my house for dinner, and I didn't know you were a doctor."
The rice is a simple stewed rice with green beans, with some potatoes and small bacon in it. It is very fragrant. There are a few side dishes, which are simple but better than fresh. People who eat them want to swallow them.
I ate the rice with big mouthfuls, and the old lady couldn't help but said: "Hey, baby, please slow down. Didn't your grandpa say you have a rice-spitting disease last time?"
"Cough!" I squirted out after taking one mouthful of rice. This old lady has such a good memory. She can even remember the nonsense my master said. Fortunately, I turned around in time, otherwise I would have to squirt all over the table.
The old lady got worried and asked her daughter-in-law to hurry up and give me some water. She also muttered, "Look, look, I'm sick. Fortunately, your grandpa is a doctor."
I glanced at Old Man Jiang with resentment. He ate heartily, as if it was none of my business.
The vocabulary at that time was not dictated, but if it were to change now, I would definitely "shoot up the case", point at the master and curse, "Your sister is sick of eating rice!"
This meal was very enjoyable, and the sadness in my heart was relieved a lot. The old lady also told us something new, saying that two people came from the village the day before yesterday. They looked very rich and they were from the countryside. The leader accompanied me and said he was looking for someone.
"Which one are you looking for?" my master asked.
"I don't know either, but it seems like I haven't found it. Do the leaders in the village know anything? You have to ask us old people to know, but I think they will definitely ask us." The old lady said proudly, like that He seemed to be waiting for someone to come and ask.
After leaving the old lady’s house, Master and I wandered around the countryside. I said, “Master, let’s go to the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts. The matter there has been resolved, but I still want to see the place where people narrowly escaped death. "
"That's okay. The archaeological team will be here in a few days. I'm still waiting for some information to be given to me then. One thing from the tomb was taken away. That's very important. Let's go look around."
With that said, the two of us, the master and the apprentice, walked towards the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost, and by chance, we met the leader of the township.
A group of several people, accompanied by a couple who seemed to be a couple, were walking towards the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts. They were still talking as they walked.
The township chief knew that my master was an extraordinary person, so he naturally greeted me warmly. When he saw the two of us, the township chief came over, and while enthusiastically holding my master's hand, he said: "Master Jiang, you are really welcome." What a coincidence, I happen to have something to talk to you about, but I don’t know where to look for it.”
"What's going on?" My master looked at the two strangers, a little confused.
The two people were very fashionable in their clothes. The man was polite and elegant, and the woman was quite elegant. At first glance, they belonged to a wealthy family, and they were from a big city. The man was holding a black girl tightly in his arms. Leather bag.
"Let me introduce you..." The township head began to introduce enthusiastically.
After the introduction, we found out that these two people were really a couple, coming from Taiwan. It was not easy to come from Taiwan at that time. They were looking for someone. If they couldn't find someone, they were looking for someone. Descendants too.
It's just that they came the day before yesterday and haven't found anyone or any descendants yet. They are a little anxious and asked my master to help because most of the people who died in the countryside used to be buried in that bamboo forest. Later, they were moved. It was me. The master is responsible.
They wanted to find out if the person they were looking for was buried in that cemetery.
After listening to the introduction, Master asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The man shook my master's hand very sincerely and said: "I'm here to fulfill my *** wish. We want to find someone named Li Fengxian. She used to be a very famous actor, but I heard that Later I returned to this small village.”
"Li Fengxian?!" Master and I exclaimed at the same time. We have never forgotten that tragic love story.
"What? Master Jiang knows Li Fengxian? Where is she? Can you take us there?" The Taiwanese man was excited and grabbed my master's hand tightly.
It was his wife who reminded him of his gaffe, and he explained sheepishly: "Master Jiang, Li Fengxian is a very important person to my grandma. To tell you the truth, my grandma will not be happy until she dies. Her only wish..."
The man couldn't continue talking, so my master looked at him and said, "Is your grandma's name Yu Xiaohong? She passed away? She is in Taiwan?"
Master once obtained a photo of Yu Xiaohong, made a paper figurine in Yu Xiaohong's likeness, and burned it to Li Fengxian. However, he also learned that Yu Xiaohong could no longer be found in the country and had gone to Taiwan.
"How do you know?" The Taiwanese man was surprised.
"Forget it, come with me." The master sighed.
It was a full eight years late, but Li Fengxian finally waited until Yu Xiaohong...
In the desolate and lonely grave, with a few pillars of fragrance, is it the living person or the dead person who comforts me
Looking at the sad man in front of the grave, I couldn't help but feel a sense of the impermanence of the world.
It turned out that the black leather bag that the man was holding tightly contained the urn of Yu Xiaohong's ashes. After feeling sad, the man looked at me and Master and said, "Do you know the story of my grandma and Li Fengxian?"
My master nodded and said, "I know."
"I only heard this story when my grandma was about to pass away twelve years ago. My grandma was a very good person and an excellent person. I respect her very much and I also respect her feelings. She died The only wish in the end is that we can take her to find Li Fengxian and meet her alive. If she goes, she hopes to be buried with Li Fengxian. But we don’t know... It’s just that my grandma is very determined. They said they would be buried together." The man said with some scruples.
I understand his scruples. He doesn't know the final outcome of Li Fengxian. He is worried that if Li Fengxian has a family, wouldn't it be a bad rule to be buried with her grandma? This was very taboo, and he didn't understand why grandma was so stubborn and so convinced.
My master turned around and asked the township leaders to go back first. Some things still couldn't be said too much in those days. Then after the township leaders went back, my master told them the ending of Li Fengxian.
The two couples burst into tears at the same time, and at the same time they bowed deeply to Li Fengxian's grave.
"I asked why grandma is always unhappy. She said to give her a peaceful life and find another way to protect her. They..." The man couldn't continue, and the woman was wiping tears beside him.
"Husband, grandma and grandma Fengxian will definitely be together in the next life." the woman comforted.
"Well, it must be possible." The man said firmly.
Just think about it, but my master didn’t tell them at all. In fact, Li Fengxian transformed into a fierce ghost and was already entangled in cause and effect. Once he fulfilled his wish, his soul was gone. No trace of Li Fengxian could be found.
Eight years, only eight years too late. Li Fengxian did not wait until eight years later, and Yu Xiaohong came back to stay with her. Why is the cause and effect in this world so bitter
They can be buried together in the same cave, but it is a pity that there is no longer that soul that can sing on the grave, facing the miserable night, singing: "Good times and beautiful scenery, but the sky..."
Many years later, I accidentally heard a song called "Buried Heart". When the lingering, sad and cold lyrics sang: "When the butterflies fly away, my heart is not there. In the long and lonely night, who will wipe away the tears on my cheeks. It is the point of greed. Depend on your children, be greedy for a little love..." I will think of the story of Li Fengxian and Yu Xiaohong.
That sentence, people's words converge into a sea of sorrow, bitter and unbearable. It is so profound, but it is impossible to explain the entanglement of cause and effect in the world.
Finally, Master and I left. That morning, it was also raining heavily in spring.
No one saw me off, and no one knew that Master and I had left like this. Life in this village has to go on. Maybe they will remember the existence of Master and me, and maybe they will forget about it after a while.
However, I can't forget it, because this is my root.
Many years later, I heard Su Rou mention that he once squatted and cried at the station in the rural area because he was so worthless, just because he ran up the mountain on the day Master and I left, and found that the building was empty. , he ran to the station, it was already night, he had a little hope that he could see us, but in the empty station at night, where were our shadows
"Sanwa'er, you bastard, you didn't even say a word to me when we left. I thought I didn't care about the separation, but you still cried in vain. When I got to the station, what were you doing?" This is A passage that Surou told me.
But I don’t remember exactly what I was doing at that time. I just remember that one afternoon on the train, Master suddenly said to me: “Sanwa’er, the train has left Sichuan.”
I felt desolate all of a sudden, and finally, I left.
