Learn Taoism? The little girl obviously didn't react. After hearing what I said, she couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? What is the Taoism?"
I took a deep breath, and then asked the little girl seriously: "What is your name?"
"Yuan Xi, my name is Yuan Xi." Although he didn't understand why I suddenly asked this, Yuan Xi still answered my question very seriously.
Yuan Xi? Does Yuan Yi give his daughter this name to mean that it carries the hopes of the Yuan family? For a moment, I became more determined in my decision. I asked, "Yuan Xi, I'm not a few years older than you. You can call me brother from now on. Here, I'm going to tell you something, and then you do it." Make a decision, okay? By the way, how old are you? A sophomore in high school, you should be 16 or 7, right?"
When asked here, I was thinking, is it too late to learn Taoism at the age of 16 or 7? Also planning some things.
Yuan Xi saw my serious look and said seriously: "You want to tell me something about my dad? Don't worry, I'm not young anymore. I'm already 16 years old this year. Just tell me, I can bear it." rise."
Does Yuan Xi know something? I asked with some confusion: "You also know about your father? What do you know?"
"I don't know about my father, but I have been living with him since I was 5 years old. I always feel that my father hides many things from me, unlike other classmates' fathers. Are you going to tell me something today?" Yuan Xi Asked expectantly.
I motioned to go out, and then Yuan Xi and I went to the living room. I took out a cigarette and lit it. This time Yuan Xi did not express any opinions, but waited patiently for me to tell her these things.
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, I said: "This has to start with your grandfather..."
I started to tell Yuan Xi everything, from Yuan Yi's grandfather, to Yuan Yi's father, to Yuan Yi's various things, to when we worked together to solve the old village chief incident, to when Yuan Yi finally fell... .
Some of these were personal experiences between Yuan Yi and I, and many of them were told to me later when I chatted with Qin Huai. He was very considerate and asked many questions about Yuan Yi in the department, but he was afraid. Yuan Yi has three advantages and two disadvantages, and his daughter will know nothing about it from now on.
Yuan Xi is only 16 years old. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong to tell her these secret, fantasy-like things? I don’t know if she can keep certain things secret at such a young age. This is obviously not something a rational person can do.
But I can't control that much. My master has said since I was a child that I am too emotional and procrastinate in doing things. In the face of various emotions, I follow emotions rather than reason. So, this is who I am, this is the way I do things, and I don’t want to change.
Since Yuan Yi is now in a vegetative state, and what he cared most about during his lifetime was the reputation of his family, I have to give his daughter a reputation to inherit. This is my restoration.
In this way, I kept narrating, and when I talked about the sad parts, I kept smoking, while Yuan Xi never expressed any opinions, just listened quietly. After more than an hour, I finally said That's all.
Then there was silence. After five minutes of silence, Yuan Xi said: "If this is my father's lifelong hope, I am willing to learn Taoism, even if I have to give up my studies. But how will my father take care of him?"
Obviously, this child Yuan Xi is extremely sensible, and the first thing she thinks of is Yuan Yi. She didn't ask me whether it was true or false. Maybe she had some vague guesses after living with Yuan Yi for so many years. Maybe she also heard something about her grandfather. In short, she acted so calmly, not like a child at all.
But I have considered these things, and I said to Yuan Xi: "I don't know the Taoist teachings of your Yuan family, and it's not so suitable for girls to practice Shan Zi Mai. Are you willing to Xiang Zi Mai? I'm in Xiang Zi Mai There is a junior sister. I think it is easier for girls to communicate with each other. If you are willing, I will contact my junior sister. Then we can discuss Brother Yuan’s matter. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything until he is cured. To separate you from him."
Yuan Xi nodded heavily and said: "As long as I can learn Tao and carry it forward without losing my grandfather's reputation, I am willing to do so."
Yuan Xi and I reached an agreement almost like a child's play, but who could have guessed that this play-like agreement might be destiny? Yuan Xi and I were so serious about this dramatic agreement, but we didn't expect that there would be many people taking it seriously with us.
In the next few days, I stayed in this small town in Heilongjiang. I first contacted my junior sister. Of course, the junior sister could not make decisions without permission. She told my junior junior uncle about my proposal.
Unexpectedly, two days later, I received a call from Uncle Li. When I went to find him, he was not in Beijing. Why did he come back
Uncle Master told me this: "Chengyi, our generation had something that was very regrettable when we were young, and that was the loss of a junior sister. I think you vaguely know it. Yuan Yi saved If I lose you, I will be the benefactor of our lineage, otherwise the inheritance of Shanzi Lineage will be cut off. Let the little girl come to Beijing and let her be your junior sister. Firstly, it will eliminate the regrets of our youth; secondly, I repay this kindness. Let her come to Beijing. From now on, we old guys will take turns teaching her. Your master will be better when he comes back. Yuan Yi can be taken care of in Beijing easily. There is no need to neglect her studies. I will contact her in Beijing. School."
This is Uncle Master's decision.
I told Yuan Xi this decision, and there was no doubt that Yuan Xi also agreed very much. From beginning to end, she acted like a little adult, but she made me look like a child.
Originally, my uncle wanted to send a car to pick us up, but Yuan Xi refused very resolutely. She said to me: "Brother Chengyi, I think my uncle and uncle are very good to me, so don't bother me. Don’t bother. Would you like to work harder with me and take the train to Beijing together?”
Naturally, I would not refuse, but I was sensitive enough to discover that besides being straightforward, there was something else in this little girl Yuan Xi, that is, she was extraordinarily strong, almost to the point of being harsh on herself.
Isn't this also a portrayal of Yuan Yi
Three days later, Yuan Xi was stubborn and tidied up alone, explained everything at home, and then packed the luggage. We were about to set off. Before leaving, I looked at the room full of books and said to Yuan Xi: "The inheritance of your grandfather's lineage must be in these books. Once you have laid the foundation, come back and pick some books to study with."
"I believe my dad will wake up." Yuan Xi told me firmly.
I nodded, expressing my belief that I would definitely wake up. If I couldn't wake up, I would change Yuan Yi's fate against heaven and forcibly awaken his soul.
That day, it was still snowing in this small town as always. Yuan Xi, no, it should be my little junior sister carrying simple luggage. I carried the unconscious Yuan Yi on my back and left here on the slippery ground with some snow. , go to Beijing.
Destiny is always like this, one link after another. In the distant past, the little junior sister Master and the others lost, and in the passing days, Yuan Yi fell in front of me, everything condensed into today and became a new little sister. Junior sister, the fate of Yuan Xi who walked with me in the snow while carrying her luggage.
On the train, Yuan Yi was still sleeping, and Yuan Xi was very quiet, reading a book. She picked it out from the bookshelf at home. It was a simple book about what preaching is and what metaphysics is. It should be Yuan Yi's private book. Hidden, not available on the market.
She is really hardworking and strong, and she is determined to lay the foundation from now on.
Because I wanted to smoke, I walked out of the soft sleeper box and sat on the promenade outside. Looking out the window, I felt that the area on my shoulder started to itch again.
I don’t know when I started to feel itchy on my shoulder, but it was nothing but itchy, but it was so uncomfortable. When the itching was so bad, I almost scratched my skin.
Am I also bewitched? When I thought about it, I felt that it was nonsense. I was a little sensitive, but it was just a little itchy.
Looking out the window, the train rumbled by, and all the scenery receded quickly. After returning to Beijing this time, I probably wouldn’t have any stopover, and would go to Xiangxi with Qinhuai and Surou.
