Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty-One
Everything seems so small and pale in front of time, even the person closest to you leaves you.
For three days, for three whole days, Lin knelt in front of the tomb without eating or drinking. He lost a lot of weight.
I don’t know why, but he, who was originally very handsome, seems to have become ugly after this time, and he seems to have become almost the same as when he went to Qingda University to study.
But what makes people feel different is that his eyes seem to be deeper, and there is a feeling in them that people can't understand.
After washing his face, brushing his messy hair, stroking his grown beard, and looking in the mirror, Lin smiled.
He has always found it strange why he looked so handsome when he took a medicinal bath last time. However, he was somewhat disapproving of that handsomeness.
Because he has grown so big, he has almost accepted his previous appearance, some small eyes, some fair skin, the right cheek seems to be a little bigger than the left cheek, the long face, the not high nose...
…
It was this appearance that made him claim to be the most handsome in the world at the beginning, and it was precisely because of this appearance that he attracted almost all the girls with whom he has a good relationship now.
Did he finally change back? Lin didn't know how he changed back, but he could feel that his physical condition was much worse, and his strength seemed to be not as good as before. He had even reached the peak of foundation building.
, seems to have declined somewhat.
Is it because of the changes in these three days? Lin smiled bitterly: It will pass, everything will pass.
He didn't pay too much attention to these changes in his body. Even his dearest father was missing. What else did he care about?
He looked up at the east, where the sun had just risen. Within two minutes, a large area was revealed, and the whole sky seemed to be much brighter.
Yes, I should rise like this tomorrow.
Lin let out a long breath, seeming to have swept away the depression of the past few days, and finally a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The sound of firecrackers came from the foot of the mountain. Today is already the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, a small year.
Everyone celebrates the New Year in a prosperous manner, eating large pieces of meat and drinking large bowls of wine. Only Lin's family is dirty, deserted and not popular at all.
He didn't care about this. He looked at the fairy sitting on the bed and practicing. It seemed that this was the only thing she was interested in. He just shook his head and said nothing.
Originally, his father had disappeared, or was simply dead and taken away by a wild wolf. Lin should not stay here anymore. But he couldn't help it. This was the home he had lived in for eighteen years, and there were
His dear father.
Although my father beat me, scolded me, and called me a motherless bastard, when I think about it now, I still remember it vividly, but it is so kind.
This year, I want to spend it at home!
Lin came back without any clothes, and his clothes were dirty and torn, but he didn't care at all. He was on the mountain, and when he encountered a wild animal, he beat it up and peeled off the skin. Lin found a needle and thread and sewed it up for himself.
Animal skin clothes look good on you.
There used to be a large piece of land in front of the door, where you could grow vegetables and so on. But it's long gone now, but Lin Zhantian's grave is on it.
There is no need to buy meat, there is rabbit meat, wild boar meat, and all kinds of game.
Someone in the drinking forest went down the mountain to buy some. When he saw the Lamborghini he parked, he suddenly remembered the car he wanted to buy for his father, so he found a shovel and buried it directly.
It was New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye, and the sound of firecrackers at the foot of the mountain became even louder on this day. Someone Lin also took out the firecrackers he bought and set them off, and a festive atmosphere seemed to spread.
When the fairy saw this scene, she was slightly disdainful.
She grew up in a small mountain, and although there was a New Year custom, every household never set off firecrackers. She didn't know what kind of irritable mood these noisy things would bring to her.
Fortunately, she is extremely calm now and is not afraid no matter how upset she is.
Mr. Lin ignored her and was busy cooking by himself. Because the family used pots and stoves, one person had to cook on the bottom and stir-fry on the top.
Someone Lin shouted, the fairy didn't even look back and continued to practice her own.
Lin smiled helplessly and had to start work alone.
The meal was prepared quickly. In the past, we had New Year’s dinner at noon every year, and this year was no exception.
"Fairy, it's time to eat." Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, there were twelve kinds in total, as many as his father cooked in previous years, Lin was still very proud.
"No, I don't want to dirty my body." The fairy said something casually, and Lin's whole body became cold.
Yes, she is a true cultivator and a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. Why should she have dinner with him?
I don’t know why, but Mr. Lin really likes to take advantage of others at the moment. Since she doesn’t want to eat, he will never force it. But he is thinking in his heart, if Pingping and the other girls were here, would they also be indifferent to his words?
.
Comparing people with others will lead to death; comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
Lin made a comparison like this. Although the fairy's appearance was comparable to that of the fairies above the nine heavens, at this moment, in Lin's heart, it seemed that she was nothing.
There was a large table with dishes and two stools where he and his father used to sit. He sat where he used to sit and looked at the empty space opposite, and his heart ached.
"Hey!" Lin sighed inaudibly, then toasted his father with a glass of wine, and then started eating.
Isn’t it just food? I haven’t finished it yet?
Lin burst into tears while eating. It seemed that he had shed more tears in the past few days than he had ever shed in his life.
But he didn't care at all, wiped it dry and continued eating.
An hour later, he ate all the food on the table by himself: clearing the plates, dishes and chopsticks, and washing them.
After finishing all this, he went to his father's grave and knelt down, burned some paper money, and set off firecrackers.
This is a custom here in Chaozhou. Every year on Qingming Festival, Winter Solstice, and New Year's Eve, we have to visit the graves of our ancestors. As for Ghost Festival, here we don't really care.
When the fairy saw Lin's behavior, she couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that he was too emotional and was destined to have no great achievements in the future.
After staying at home for another two days, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin said to the fairy: "You have been suffering these days, let's go."
"You won't stay here anymore?" The fairy was a little strange. It is said that Lin has not smiled for so many days, so he must be extremely sad. He must stay at home for a while, but why are you in such a hurry to leave?
"The deceased is gone, and the living mourn in silence." Lin Wanjie said lightly, "Relatives may still be sad, but others have also sang. What is the way to die? He is in the same mountain. Now that the old man is gone, if I can continue to be sad
, Dad, he... Quan Xia Youzhi, I'm afraid he will climb up and beat me."
In fact, he just didn't find his father, which doesn't completely prove that he died.
But my father is getting older. Although Lin Wanjie is just nineteen years old, my father is almost sixty.
A sixty-year-old farmer who does the hardest and most tiring work every day, how good can his health be? Lin Wanjie couldn't imagine.
Moreover, my father also has stomach problems, which are caused by not eating for a long time and eating less. In addition, he smokes very much, and he may also have lung diseases.
Under such circumstances, Lin Wanjie really couldn't imagine that his father could still survive. That would be too outrageous.
"Hey, it's snowing." At this moment, Ning suddenly looked up at the sky and said in surprise.
She was in Tianshan, where there was snow almost all year round, but she hadn't seen it a few times here. Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily on the third day of the new year.
"Let's go." Lin didn't care about the rain or snow. To him, it was no different from a sunny day.
"Someone is coming." The fairy suddenly pointed forward, and Lin saw a woodcutter not far away running towards here carrying firewood.
"Oh my God, it's been sixty years, I've never seen such heavy snow before." As soon as the woodcutter came over and saw Lin Wanjie and the fairy, his eyes couldn't help but straighten, and he continued.
"Young man, this isn't your home, is it? I'm going in to hide from the snow." The woodcutter went in on his own and saw the changes in the furnishings inside. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Hey, you don't live here, do you?"
Lin Wanjie nodded lightly, not wanting to say anything more.
But the woodcutter started talking: "No, I remember this is Brother Lin's home. Oh, by the way, he told me that he has a son, what is his name? Jie? It can't be you, right?"
"Do you know my dad?" When Lin heard this, he suddenly became ecstatic and ran to him and said.
"We know each other, but..." The woodcutter was silent for a moment, then suddenly saw the tombstone outside, and said in surprise, "You already know?"
"What?" Lin Wanjie was stunned.
"Your father has died a long time ago, hey!" the woodcutter said, and this moment seemed like another bolt from the blue, which shocked Lin Wanjie to the point where he could not recover for a long time.
The woodcutter said: "Your father and I met when we went up the mountain to cut firewood. It rained heavily, so we ran here to hide from the rain. Brother Lin is a good man. He takes good care of me with good wine and food... But he, he...
"
"Uncle, please speak slowly." Lin's voice was choked.
He continued: "Then I didn't come up for a while, and when I came up again, I was with some juniors in the village. But that day we met a big bear. The bear's eyes were dark and full of evil spirits, and it looked like it could eat.
Man, we are all hunters, who is afraid of him? So we chased him.
I don’t know if we were outnumbered, but we chased it all the way to its lair. The big guy rolled down the mountain. Originally, we were going to catch up, but I saw a piece of tattered clothes on the ground, covered with dried blood. This
It didn't matter at first glance, but I didn't expect it to be the clothes that Brother Lin had worn before!
Hey, brother Lin lives alone in the mountains, and there is no one to take care of him. When I thought about it, he was afraid that he would be eaten by a bear, so I called a few people to bury the clothes. I didn’t expect that when you came back, you would also give them to Lin.
My brother built a tomb, hey!"
