Wang An drove to the alley entrance of Zhang Huajie's house, where she and her parents were already waiting.
After saying hello to her parents, she got out of the car and helped carry the luggage into the car. Zhang Huajie sat in the passenger seat.
The car started and Wang An saw the two old men still standing on the road looking at his car.
"Go back, grandma, grandpa." He lowered the window and shouted behind him. The two old men waved to him, but still did not go back.
Wang An sighed slightly, increased the accelerator slightly, picked up the speed of the car, and drove away from the mountain village.
There are still a few shriveled persimmons on the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village.
Wang An drove and stared ahead. Zhang Huajie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look out the window. There was no nostalgia or reluctance on her face. She was thinking more about the prosperity of the metropolis.
There is a river beside the road, flowing quietly and running into the distance.
It was relatively quiet in the car, and Wang An could clearly hear the other person's breathing.
"Her breathing rate is about twenty times a minute, which is twice as much as mine." This was the thought in Wang An's mind at this time. If he said it, he would probably be shocked by the girl next to him.
When a man and a woman sit alone in a car, what kind of brain circuit would pay attention to such a thing?
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhang Huajie broke the silence.
"Plan?" Wang An was silent for a while.
His short-term plan is to exercise strength and complete the task of punching a thousand kilograms.
The longer-term plan is to complete the other two tasks, go to Taihe Mountain and Zhongyue to see the holy places of Taoism and Zen, and see Taoist Kung Fu and Buddhist martial arts. Along the way, I will study the legendary internal power and true energy.
But these plans must not be told to Zhang Huajie. If he did, it would be hilarious and he would be regarded as a middle-schooler.
"Plan, do something you want to do, and look around if you have the chance."
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Huajie stared at Wang An curiously.
"Be free and travel to the ends of the world with your sword." Wang An said half-jokingly.
"Look at the prosperity of the world." Zhang Huajie answered with a smile.
"Yes." Wang An nodded.
"That's the dream of so many people!" Zhang Hua said with emotion, "It's a pity that too many people are suffocated by the shackles of reality."
Wang An smiled and said nothing. He had also trudged hard with shackles.
After the cars hit the road, there were more and more cars on both sides. Many people chose to go back to their hometowns to work today to start the new year of hard work and busyness. It is possible that they will go there for a whole year.
We set off from the mountain village in the morning and arrived in Hu'an City in the afternoon.
"It's already past noon. How about we find a place to eat first?"
"Okay, but I'm treating you." Zhang Huajie readily agreed.
The two of them chose a restaurant that was relatively close to Zhang Huajie's school and ordered a few dishes. They got along first and their relationship became much more harmonious.
Wang An was less than three-thirds full of this meal, mainly because he was embarrassed to eat in front of a girl. During this period, Wang An used the excuse of going to the bathroom to pay the bill in advance.
"As promised, I'll treat you." Zhang Huajie pouted when paying the bill.
"Next time." Wang An smiled, and after sending Zhang Huajie back to his residence, he found a restaurant and had a second meal, this time he was eight cents full.
I drove back to my residence, cleaned up, and then started practicing Tai Chi in the yard.
In the yard, the cold wind blows all the time, getting louder and softer at times.
While Wang An was practicing boxing, he felt the wind blowing through his palms. His hands seemed to be moving with the wind.
He thought of a saying, Tai Chi is impossible, but moving is the law.
After letting go of his body, the strands of strength in his body were transmitted and gathered along the bones and muscles. In this way, he kept practicing in the yard, in the cold wind, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly.
"You practiced Tai Chi in the cold wind and gained some insights. Tai Chi experience is 30."
After Wang An finished the exercise, he took a long breath, and a stream of white air came out of his mouth, like a thin snake.
At this moment, the cold wind also stopped for a moment, and the white air floated out for nearly two meters before dissipating.
After practicing, I just sat down when I returned home. I picked up the water glass and had not yet drank the water. The phone on the table rang. The caller was Li Xinzhu.
"Hey, when will you be back?"
Li Xinzhu spoke feebly on the other end of the phone, giving the impression that he was like a romantic in Hong Kong who clicked on seven princesses at once and went crazy all night.
"I'm back. What's wrong with you? You're so weak in your speech. Did you have a big problem last night?"
"It's great to come back. Please do me a favor and sleep with me tonight!"
"Mr. Li, please respect yourself!" Wang An had goosebumps all over his body after hearing Li Xinzhu's words.
"Brother, as soon as I fall asleep now, I will immediately see that fierce ghost staring at me with a pair of bloody eyes and opening his bloody mouth to eat me. I don't dare to sleep at all!" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone almost cried.
.
"But even if I accompany you, I can't help you get rid of your inner demons!" Wang An said after hearing this, it's really hard for outsiders to help in this matter, the key is to rely on yourself.
"You wait at home, I'll go find you!"
In less than half an hour, Li Xinzhu arrived at Wang An's home.
Good guy! Wang An was also shocked when he saw Li Xinzhu's appearance.
He has dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are bloodshot, his face is pale, and his face has become thinner. Compared with the last time we met, he looks like a different person.
"Brother, I finally see you!" Li Xinzhu had tears in his eyes.
"I think you should go to the hospital and see a doctor now. Your condition is even worse than what I was a few months ago."
Wang An really didn't expect that painting to cause so much trouble to Li Xinzhu.
"I went there and gave me some sedative and sleeping medicine. After taking it, it didn't help. I still dreamed about it! I went to Songlin Temple the day before yesterday. I was ready to become a monk there. I stayed there for two nights, but nothing happened.
If you use it, you will still dream about the evil ghost."
Li Xinzhu let out a long sigh as he spoke.
"I just came here to ask, how to practice the visualization method you mentioned?"
Now Li Xinzhu is in a typical state of "seeking medical treatment when sick". He has no choice. The feeling of being unable to sleep is too painful. If this continues, he feels that he will really go crazy like Monk Hong An said.
"I really can't say this. First I have to find something that meets the conditions."
"What?" Li Xinzhu asked hurriedly.
"You saw the ghost through the painting, which aroused the deepest fear in your heart, and fell into a vicious cycle of the more you thought about it, the more you feared it, and the more you thought about it, the more you thought about it.
Then you need to find another painting to arouse the fighting spirit and belief deep in your heart and help you defeat your inner demons."
"What kind of painting?"
"Well, it's hard to say. I need to see it before I know."
