Grandpa Yu is a very interesting old man. He likes to tell stories. He likes to tell all the creatures he sees with copper coins, and he likes to tease Yu Zhen.
He said a lot of funny things, some were forgotten, some were self-contradictory, and some were made up to make fun of others, but only the story of "The Powerful Remnant Soul", which he repeated many times Years, the details inside have never been missed.
Yu Zhen remembered things late, and the memories of childhood that he can think of in his mind can only be traced back to before going to elementary school.
But even so, he can clearly remember that in a bad afternoon, his grandfather was holding him, who was only a few years old, kneeling in front of the statue of the ancestor, and giving him a fortune-telling with a serious face.
That was the first time he saw such a solemn expression on his grandfather's face, and it was also the first time he saw that grandpa couldn't believe the result he had calculated, and repeated the appearance of throwing copper coins over and over again.
Grandpa Yu's face was very pale that day, and Yu Zhen couldn't eat the egg pie he wanted to eat.
It was also from that day that Grandpa Yu told the story of the "Mighty Soul Remnant", but he didn't know where to find a tattered book with strange patterns painted, and told him to practice hard.
But like that, a book that couldn't be read, Yu Zhen, who couldn't even recognize at the time, how to practice.
Probably Grandpa Yu also saw the impossibility of this incident. Although he still loves to chant the words "Great Power" and "Cultivation", he has never forced Yu Zhen in his actions, and only loves to tease him even more.
Later, Yu Zhen grew up slowly, learned knowledge, and understood the truth. The stories he heard when he was a child really became stories, and he never took it seriously again.
Grandpa Yu probably also discovered his thoughts. The stories of various gods, gods, and monsters are gradually being told less, although occasionally he still talks about the old slogan of "Mighty Remnant Soul", but because of the two people's gathering and separation. Many, this stalk has not been mentioned for a long time.
When the old wooden box was opened, there was a flutter of dust. Inside the box were Yu Zhen's baby when he was a child, a wooden pony, a story book he had read, and a pile of copper coins of unknown age from Grandpa Yu.
Yu Zhen found a yellowed and broken book from the bottom of the box and opened it eagerly, only to see a mildew stain.
Books are fragile things. After so many years, regardless of asking, the books that were already broken in the past, after more than ten years decayed by time, are almost broken at the touch of a touch.
The fast beating heart slowed down, Yu Zhen smelled the stale smell of the books, and remembered Grandpa Yu’s fortune-telling night that pale and languid, tears suddenly came out without warning, dripping on the books, and two fainted. Wet dots.
It's true, what Grandpa said is true.
There was actually a remnant soul in his body, and now that remnant soul has come to the door.
But why didn't grandpa tell him, in fact, his soul is also incomplete.
"Born against the sky, kinship is cut off..."
The kinship is cut off, it really is the kinship is cut off.
He raised his hand to wipe the tears, but found that he wiped more and more, the feelings of sadness and pain rose after he realized it, and he almost couldn't breathe.
On the night of the funeral, he could still cry out, but under the impetus of cruel fate, he finally realized that his only relative had completely left him. The rest of his life may also be destined to be lonely and hopeless today, but he can only squat in embarrassment. On the ground, he choked silently at a box of old things.
"Some people who are stupid will feel pain much slower than ordinary people."
In the front room, Yin Yan turned the old porcelain tea cup in his hand and suddenly said: "He thought he had survived, but in fact he hasn't. Any little thing related to the past may make him..."
"elder brother?"
Yin Le looked at him worried and suspicious. He didn't understand why he suddenly said something strange, and he was a little worried about Yu Zhen who ran to the backyard alone.
despair.
Yin Yan stopped the sudden sigh, put the old porcelain teacup on the table, glanced at Yin Le and Weng Xiping, suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go to the back mountain of Taoist temple."
Yin Le couldn't keep up with his thoughts at all, and asked in a daze, "What are you going to do in the back mountain?" Didn't they come to say thank you for chasing people
Yin Yan unbuttoned his clothes again and calmly answered, "Catch the pheasant."
"… what?"
I don't know how long I have been crying, just when Yu Zhen felt that his eyes were about to be blinded by tears, a seductive smell of meat suddenly spread from the direction of the kitchen.
He froze for a moment, his thoughts finally withdrew from the sadness, remembering the trouble and the guests still sitting in the front room, wiped his eyes and face hurriedly, put the old book that was too old to see the text and pattern back into the box, and turned around. Follow the smell and ran in the direction of the kitchen.
"Cough cough cough!"
In the kitchen, Yin Le's head was stained with chicken feathers, sitting behind the stove with a piece of dry wood in his hand, awkwardly stuffing firewood into the stove, coughing and awkwardly covering his nose, and black dust on his face.
In front of the table next to the stove, Weng Xiping was cutting ginger slices with a serious face, and there was a wash of green vegetables on hand.
In front of the stove, Yin Yan, who took off his jacket again, turned his back to the door of the kitchen, with sweater and shirt sleeves rolled up, standing in front of the pot, holding a plate in one hand and a spatula in one hand, serving food outside.
Yu Zhen felt that the picture in front of her was very funny and unreal, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"
"Big... uh, brother Yu, you're here, is the low blood sugar better?"
After hearing the sound, Yin Le immediately looked over, greeted happily, and then explained with joy: "Brother Yu, we are cooking! Just now, my eldest brother took me and Uncle Weng to catch pheasants in the mountains! It's true here! Interesting, the pheasants are so stupid, they are so stupid as to pounce at our feet, rushing to add vegetables to us hahaha!"
"..."
Yu Zhen suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Yin Yan put the last spoonful of chicken on the plate, put down the spatula, turned and walked in front of Yu Zhen, bent over and grabbed one of his hands, put the plate on top, and said, "Go to the front room and set the tableware. superior."
The plate is very big, the potato roast chicken inside is piled up sharply, it is a bit heavy.
When Yin Yan let go, Yu Zhen reflexively stretched out her other hand to hold the plate, smelling the scent of the chicken, and looking at Yin Yan through the heat from the chicken, as if ten thousand pheasants were screaming in her head He flew by and asked in a daze, "You... can cook?" Would you still use a rural stove
Yin Yan didn't answer, only the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Of course my brother knows how to cook. He lived outside for several years when he was studying abroad, and he practiced a superb cooking skill!" Yin Le saw the stitches, exaggerated and exaggerated to say good things to his elder brother, and witted his eldest brother. Back then, it was to win Han Ya's heart to learn cooking.
However, he was a little puzzled when he thought of this. Han Ya is a woman who pursues "style" and loves western food, so the eldest brother mainly learns western food. He rarely encounters Chinese food, but he did not expect that the Chinese food he cooked was actually better than western food. Great!
Yu Zhen felt that the younger brother of the "dead" seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about him, and he once again made his own mind instead of "Yin Yan" and developed some guilty conscience. He laughed dryly, which was regarded as a sympathy, and hurriedly carried the food forward. The house is gone.
There is no food available in the kitchen. Fortunately, there is a small vegetable garden outside the backyard with some winter vegetables growing in it, plus the pheasant delivered to the door. A simple lunch with meat and vegetables is ready.
The fragrant potato chicken, the refreshing stir-fried cabbage, the appetizing hot and sour cabbage, the beautifully colored tomato and egg soup, plus a plate of homemade pickles, the dishes are small but full of portions, and they are very good for dinner.
Yin Le’s mouth was full of greasy food, completely devoid of the image of the young master. After eating, he did not forget to praise his hard-working elder brother and said: "Brother, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I still want to eat rabbit meat. Let's go to the mountain to catch a hare in the afternoon."
"Go and wipe your face."
Yin Yan didn't respond to his request, but turned his head to the side of Yu Zhen who was always silent, and asked, "Are you full?"
Yu Zhen, who hadn't had such a lively meal for a long time, was stunned when he was asked, nodded, shook his head, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him to walk quickly toward the backyard.
"Ok???"
There was a gossip flash in Yin Le's eyes.
Weng Xiping stood up consciously and began to pack his dishes.
After closing the door and locking it, Yu Zhen turned to face Yin Yan, her fingers dangling on her side tightly, and she took a deep breath and asked without giving up, "You said you are the remnant soul in my body. What evidence is there to prove it? ?"
Yin Yan moved the arm he had just pulled, and replied, "My consciousness is not clear when I am in your body, sometimes not, so there are not many things I can remember."
"You fell out of bed when you were three, got lost in the back mountains when you were six, wetting the bed for the last time when you were eight, and dreaming for the first time when you were sixteen—"
"Stop it! I believe you, don't say it, don't say that word!"
Yu Zhen pretended to be serious and calm, his ears were slightly red from embarrassment, and the last trace of unwilling luck in his heart was completely dissipated, and he continued to ask: "Then why are you in my body? Why is my soul insufficiency? ?"
Yin Yan looked at him quietly without answering.
After being quiet for a few seconds, Yu Zhen suddenly understood what he meant, and asked, "Can't answer this question?"
Yin Yan responded this time and nodded gently.
"… "Ok.
Yu Zhen collapsed his shoulders a little frustrated, and changed the question to ask: "Then what do you want to do when you come to me like this now?"
"save you."
Yin Yan replied, taking out a household registration book from his coat pocket, and added: "It's also self-help. You and I are connected with each other. You and I live and die. Yu Zhen, live, don't give up on yourself."
[Live, live well. 】
Suddenly what Grandpa had said flashed in his mind, and Yu Zhen was stunned, somewhat puzzled.
It's strange, why both grandpa and Yin Yan would ask him to live so seriously, as if he didn't want to live anymore, and...
"What are you doing with your hukou?"
