Chapter 48 Ding Xian
Looking at the old man's headache, I bent over and touched his forehead, and I couldn't help but feel shocked. It's so hot... It's really a strange disease. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but look up at the top of Buzhou Mountain. My face gradually became unlucky... "Uncle, I, I'm going to the top of the mountain to seek immortal medicine to save my mother. There are still two days left. If I miss it this time, my old mother may...ah."
"Oh... I won't force you to go up the mountain if you want to go up the mountain. Then let me die as a lonely old man in this wilderness... Oh... it hurts so much..."
The old man hugged his head with his hands in his arms and hummed hard. It could be seen how much pain he was suffering. Thinking about it, he lived here alone, and there was no one around him to take care of him. If I let go, wouldn’t he really die of illness here?
But my mother was seriously ill in bed and had to be separated from my yin and yang for only more than ten days. If I could not seek the elixir, I would be ashamed of my mother's grace for raising her. As the saying goes, parents' kindness is as deep as the sea, and my mother now has the only wish left. If I can't help her realize it, wouldn't it be a son in vain?
When I made a fuss in my heart, I looked down at the old man slightly, but I couldn't say anything at the end of my mouth. My mother accumulated virtue and did good deeds throughout her life and taught me to be a human being. Do not do evil because of small evil, and do not do good because of small good. There is an important thing that I need to do now. For me, carrying the old man down the mountain to see a doctor may be a simple task, but for the old man, it is a life.
If I even ignore this matter, even if I ask for the elixir, I am afraid that my mother will blame me...
My eyes heated up, and tears couldn't help but roll down. I silently said to the vast void, "Mother, my child is unfilial, and I can't go to the top of the mountain to get elixirs to treat you. I hope you can understand. When this matter is over, my child will let his mother do it..."
As I said that, I knelt on the ground with a "thump" and cried bitterly: "Mother..."
I wiped my tears again and said, "Uncle, hold on again, I will take you down the mountain to find Dr. Ding to treat the disease."
"Oh... little brother, you are such a good person... Good people will definitely be rewarded..."
The old man lay on my shoulder and said in a daze, then there was no sound. I was anxious and hurriedly walked down the mountain quickly. Saving people was like putting out a fire, but I couldn't be careless. I kept shouting that the old man wanted to hold on, but my feet kept accelerating and almost ran down.
Although it is easy to go down the mountain, it is not easy to get down in a short while facing such a high mountain road. The old man was unconscious and his head was even hotter, as if he was about to explode. I was worried all the way, secretly begging God for blessing, and more than once, I prayed that my mother would understand my decision this time. I hope that the decision I made was right.
It took me two days until I arrived at the foot of the mountain. In this way, I was delayed by the only two days. For seven days, I dreamed of asking for the elixir every moment of the day, but in the end I returned empty-handed, and I didn’t even arrive at the top of the mountain... Alas.
“By the way.”
I slapped my head suddenly and shouted in surprise: "Why did I forget to ask where is Ding's home?"
I tilted my head and looked at the old man. I was still in a coma. Now I was anxious. The man had been carved down, but I couldn't find a place to treat him. Wouldn't it be useless?
Just when I was at a loss, I felt a lighter on my back and turned around suddenly. The old man stood aside with a full heart, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Little brother, my headache will be cured in an instant, but I still need Dr. Ding to prescribe a few medicines for me. I can just walk the rest of the way myself, say goodbye."
The old man frowned, then walked away with a shaking head. I opened my mouth and watched the old man's back gradually fade away until he disappeared from the end of his sight. I was stunned...
Now it's fine. The remaining few days are all on the old man alone. I looked up at Buzhou Mountain and couldn't help but sigh deeply. Helplessly, seven days have passed, so I had to go home to apologize to my old mother.
I don’t know how I came when I came, and I don’t know how to go home. In short, I was muttering my mother in my heart. After wandering around for a few times, I saw the small mountain village in front of me from afar. I was very familiar with that mountain village. Dingzhuang, my father’s name is Ding Dazhi, and he is a real farmer, but it seems that I have never seen him before, as if... it seems that he died when I was born.
By the way, I, what is my name?
As I rushed to the door of my house, I couldn't help but tremble. I stretched out my hand and slowly pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door. What caught my eye were three simple thatched houses, and the main hall was open, inside... there were two people sitting inside. One of them was familiar with me, and that was my old mother.
"Mother."
I rushed to the door of the main hall with tears in my eyes, but I knelt down on the threshold, and saw the kind face at first glance. She... also looked at me with red and swollen eyes. Somehow, this scene seemed to be like I had been looking forward to for years or even decades, and I had seen such a scene in many dreams.
"Xian'er, Xian'er, my child... Woooooo~~~"
My warm hands gently stroked my face, and then hugged me tightly into my arms. My head suddenly felt like it was bursting out, but no matter what, I couldn't help crying loudly...
The moment I saw my mother, I suddenly understood everything and all the things I ignored and forgotten. My home is in Dingzhuang. My father's name is Ding Dazhi, and I, my name is Ding... My name is Ding Xian, I have a name, I don't call it Chuqi, my name is Ding Xian.
Maybe all this is a dream, but I feel so real. Maybe all this shouldn't exist, but I want to keep everything. According to the old people in Shibali Village, Dingzhuang is located in a poor valley in the northwest corner of Sunzhuang. When the Japanese saw that they were not profitable, they ordered the village to be slaughtered. There were very few people who could survive. In the end, the rest gathered together, collectively called Shibali Village.
Since I can survive and since I can be picked up by Grandpa Sun, it means that my mother was still alive back then, but why was my mother here?
Unintentionally, I saw another person sitting in the main hall, a kind old man. I was shocked and blurted out: "Senior, you, you are here too."
This person is the old white-bearded man who took me to drink. Now I am completely awake in consciousness and I recognize him naturally.
The old man with white beard smiled slightly and did not answer my question immediately. He smiled in an instant and said seriously: "Liu Huizhi, now that you have seen your own son, you should be in peace in the underworld."
Liu Huizhi, is my mother's name?
Sure enough, my mother turned around in a hurry, knelt down to the old white-bearded man, and said respectfully: "Master, merciful, I, Liu Huizhi, can see my son for the last time, and my wish is over. Now I am willing to reincarnate..."
"Ah." I shouted in surprise: "Mother, you are, what are you doing, senior, my mother..."
But when the old man with white beard reached out to stop me and said, "Well, the suffering of your Ding family has passed away. In the next life, you will not suffer anymore. Haha, go..."
The mother respectfully bowed to the old white-bearded man and said, "Thank you again to Taoist priest."
Turning slightly, the mother said in tears: "Xian'er, since you are destined to be with Tao, you should practice Taoism well. I hope you... benefit the people in the future."
At this moment, I seemed to think of something, but I still couldn't help but cry and said, "Mother, I won't let you go, wuwu~~~"
But just when I was about to stop my mother, what I touched with my hands was nothingness. Looking at me again, my mother was still standing quietly in front of me. I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned to look at the white-bearded old man and said, "Old Senior..."
The old man with white beard stroked his beard and waved his hand suddenly. A white light flashed by, and my mother disappeared in an instant. At this time, the old man with white beard smiled and said, "On the seventh day of the lunar month, I'm here to find Dr. Ding to prescribe some medicine, haha."
"Ah, senior, you are the old man I was carrying down on the mountain."
I looked at the white-bearded old man in shock and suddenly realized, yes, the old man on the mountain was him, but I couldn't remember everything in reality in the previous episode, so even if he didn't change his appearance, I still couldn't recognize him. At this moment, I realized that everything that happened in this dream was caused by him.
The old white-bearded man nodded with a smile and said, "Little baby, your understanding is pretty good."
I glanced around and asked blankly, "Then... I am still in my dream now, my mother, my mother is really going to reincarnate."
Thinking that when I just saw my biological mother, I was about to part with her forever, tears burst out from her eyes again...
