My Taoist Career

Chapter 6: Is he an expert?

Views:

Zhou Da sighed and said: "Okay, what I was arguing with my mother-in-law just now was just this, but... I don't know if it will help. You go find someone, he may have some real ability. A few years ago, when my mother-in-law was having a better life, he once came to my house out of nowhere. He looked at my mother-in-law and said, "I can't spit out a mouthful of yang energy and can't swallow it. It was useless for me to think that someone here would do anything." . Forget it, let's go, we shouldn't be together, and we won't be dragging each other down in the end. "Then, this man left. Apart from family members who have some speculation about my mother-in-law's affairs, who else knows the details? He must be an expert."

"Who is he? Where is he?" my mother asked hurriedly.

"He... you must know him, he is Old Man Jiang." Zhou Da said hesitantly, for fear that my mother would not believe it.

"Old Man Jiang, you said it was Old Man Jiang who came to our village out of nowhere a few years ago?" My mother really didn't believe it and asked once.

That old man, could he be an expert? But that old man is an expert, and he is also the master I respect most in my life, both my teacher and my father!

"That's him. You go find him. If you find him right, we have something to ask for from you. I won't tell you more. My mother-in-law can't bear it anymore." After Zhou Da finished speaking hastily, his body was shaken and his whole body went limp. After coming down, he obviously returned his body to Widow Zhou.

Widow Zhou looked even weaker than last time, lying motionless on the table. How could my mother leave Widow Zhou alone after asking her own questions? She quickly went over to support Widow Zhou, and when she touched her body, she felt even colder than before, and her breath was very weak.

Women in rural areas also have some strength. My mother quickly helped Widow Zhou out of the west wing, then carried her to the main room and placed her on the chair in front of the stove. It happened that my dad was also holding me in the main room and was setting up the dragon gate formation with Tuesday. , I think there is a stove in the main room, which is relatively warm.

When I saw this fight on Tuesday, I let out an ouch and hurriedly went into the house to get a quilt to wrap Widow Zhou in. My mother hurriedly went to the kitchen to make ginger soup again.

Seeing them busy, my father who knew nothing couldn't help but said: "Xiuyun, what do you think I want to do?" Although my father knew nothing, he still vaguely understood, that is Widow Zhou became like this because of my family's affairs.

"Oh, you don't have to do anything, just stay here and help look at the red moon." My mother is not in the mood to be nagging with my father right now.

After a lot of busy work, Widow Zhou's condition finally improved a little, and she came back to her senses. She looked at my mother as if she had something to say.

My mother probably knew what to say, so she couldn't help but ask: "Do you want Lao Chen and Tuesday to stay away first?"

Widow Zhou shook her head. She probably had some big difficulties with Zhou Da, so she no longer wanted to hide anything. "The master said that the two of us are dragging each other down, but I really don't want to hurt him. If I hurt him, he will be in trouble. I can still turn into a ghost, I have always thought like this. And I am afraid that Zhou Qiang’s baby is pitiful. Although the Zhou family will definitely take care of him, it is better for a baby with a mother. A baby without a father and a mother I can't bear it. If you can ask someone to help us, please help us." (This paragraph is too long, so I won't burp Widow Zhou. It's good for everyone to understand. Besides, I'm tired from tying, so I don't have any friends. Are you tired of watching?)

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You have become a ghost, you have no father or mother?" Zhou Zhou was concerned about his sister-in-law and immediately started shouting loudly. Widow Zhou just waved her hand and asked Tuesday not to ask any more questions.

As an outsider, it's hard for my dad to talk even if he's full of questions, let alone ask me about things at this time.

As for my mother, she looked at Widow Zhou sincerely, grabbed her hand regardless of the coldness and said: "I will try my best, don't worry. In fact, there is something I also want to say, let go of what should be put down. Doing things that are good for the other person is also a sign of deep affection, not to mention having a baby?"

Widow Zhou nodded gratefully to my mother. She was so tired that she no longer wanted to talk.

In this way, my father returned home with a lot of questions and my mother full of worries.

On a cold winter night, many people had gone to bed early and even fell asleep. However, my parents, who came back from Widow Zhou, were not sleepy at all, and even lit two very bright oil lamps in the room.

At this time, my father had already listened to my mother's explanation of what had happened. The hand holding the cigarette was shaking a little. After a while, he said, "Old Jiang, are you reliable?"

"My mother said, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Let's go and find out." My mother said, leaning closely against my father, her eyes just refused to close, thinking about the ghosts at home. It was like a meeting, and my mother couldn't sleep.

"Okay, let's let our son suffer a little longer. I'll go up the mountain to find Old Man Jiang tomorrow. Today... I'll just light up the lamp and sleep tonight." My dad was also very scared, otherwise why would he wake up and wait to go to sleep

Light can be a powerful comfort at certain times.

A night of silence.

The next day, my parents got up early, and my mother quickly cooked a simple breakfast for my father. After eating, my father put on his thick coat and carried two steamed buns in his arms. We are about to go up the mountain.

Why do you need two steamed buns? It's very simple. The mountain next to our village is not high, but it stretches for dozens of kilometers. It is big enough. My dad knows that old man Jiang lives alone on the mountain, but he doesn't know where exactly, and neither do the people in the village. Anyway, I just knew that he would wander around the village from time to time.

So, it is extremely difficult to find him at once. How can we not get some solid food

The mountain road in the morning was extremely humid. My dad walked on the mountain road for a while, and his pants legs were wet. Seeing that the sky was already turning white, my dad put away the flashlight, sat on a big rock, and prepared to smoke. Smoke and rest for a few minutes.

"Isn't this old man Jiang a master?" As the smoke rose, my father calmed down and began to mutter.

If you weren't an expert, why would you live alone in the mountains? Not to mention ghosts and gods, there are also a lot of insects in this mountain, especially the long worms. Even the locals don't know how many species there are in this mountain.

Anyway, an ordinary person would not dare to live alone in the mountains.

My dad seemed to have found a strong excuse for Old Man Jiang to be a master, and his frown relaxed. But after a while, my dad frowned again, and Old Man Jiang's image and actions were in his heart again. Rotate.

What is the image of Old Man Jiang? His hair is gray and his beard is long. His complexion is actually very good, white and rosy, but it is dirty. You can often see the dirt left by not washing his face, line by line, on his neck, and even his beard is hanging on it. The remains of something.

He often wears clothes that are almost invisible. Summer is fine, but in other solar terms, his two cuffs are always shiny and stiff. How long has it not been washed and how many times has his mouth been wiped to form

This image is fine, but his behavior is even more ridiculous. First of all, he is lustful. He doesn't blink when he sees a beautiful girl in the village. Sometimes he will follow others all the way, and people are not afraid of him. An old man knows that he has no guts to do anything but watch.

Moreover, he was not annoyed by chasing him or scolding him, and kept saying: "A gentleman's passion is based on emotion, but he is restrained by etiquette. Everyone has the love for beauty... "

The people in the mountains didn't understand what he was talking about, so they often scolded him even more fiercely. He laughed and walked away on his own after seeing enough. At most, when he turned around and walked back, he yelled a tuneless folk song and then shouted: "The big girl is so beautiful..."

In addition, Old Man Jiang is delicious. When he wanders around the village, if he finds something fresh or cooked in any house, he will always shamelessly ask people for it. If people don't give it to him, he will just wait and see others working. When the time comes, come and help quickly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to help, and you can’t rush away even if you rush.

Anyway, if the things you ask for are more valuable, he will work longer, and if the things you ask for are more common, he will work less.

Usually like this, many people just give it to me. The things in the fields are not rare anyway, and the people in the mountains are simple and simple, so it is hard to see an old man like this.

But this strange old man didn't even say thank you, and just said: "I help you work, and you give me food. We don't owe each other, and we don't get involved in cause and effect. We also have a good relationship, which is great and good." In the eyes of ordinary people, these words Absolutely insane.
