The thing happened so suddenly that I almost forgot about the existence of this person - my master, that old god. Since ancient times, there have been legends about the three realms. These things are all interdependent. If there is a ghost, it will happen. There are immortals, which also reflects the saying that one thing descends from another. So when I confirmed that all this was actually man-made, I had already doubted the old man's words in my heart. The words left in my heart at that time The image of an extraordinary person has almost disappeared.
But no matter how old the Taoist priest is, every time this little Taoist priest appears, he gives people a very ethereal feeling. The aura is simply amazing. I have never seen a person riding a cow who is more impressive than driving a Cadillac. , especially the leisurely and indifferent look on his face, will make people feel that this is a son of God from nine heavens away! It is estimated that in ancient times, he would have been enshrined in a Taoist temple to withstand the fireworks of the world.
I have no doubt that if Jiuliang beat him up on the street today, it would definitely cause a commotion. Compared with gods, what are the police? My boss is Yuanshi Tianzun!
Let's not mention the digression for the moment. In fact, I have never heard of this old Taoist priest before. The last visit was because of Master's play, so naturally, I thought that he was also a character in Master's play. Throughout the whole The position in the game is basically the same as that of Bread Tiger.
Then what he said to me before was definitely arranged by Master.
So, what about the note this time? Was it arranged by Master? Or was it decided by himself?
I wanted to understand this, but I had no choice, because I could only be led by the nose, and there was no other way. To use a common saying, this may be called heading to Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain. I knew it clearly. This may be Master's next plan, but I have to follow his plan.
This may be something he planned for, so I have no choice.
Seeing that I was struggling with this and not knowing whether to go back to my hometown in Henan Province according to the instructions on the note, Jiuliang persuaded me: I think you really have obsessive-compulsive disorder and think of everything as a conspiracy. Okay, I understand you. You are surrounded by conspiracies and you have to do this. Then you can think about the problem from a different angle. The saying "honor and filial piety first" is always true. You should go back and read it. Just look at your parents, right?
What Jiuliang said brought me back to my memories. How many years ago was the last time I went home?
My father, who was already slightly rickety back then, has gray hair now, right?
Now that things have happened, has he forgiven me for wasting all his hard work?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt an urgency to return home. This urgency has nothing to do with the mystery, the answer, or the conspiracy. It is just the urgent longing of a wandering wanderer for his relatives in his hometown. I have never gone home before. It's not because I miss home, but because I was determined to leave my hometown back then. How can I return it before I become famous?
To put it in layman's terms, when I was young and frivolous, I was so arrogant and boastful. How can I have the nerve to go back now? But my parents, do they really want this?
I even thought that no matter what purpose Master had, as long as he reminded me to be filial, he shouldn't be a bad person.
It is really convenient to have a privileged person by my side. I don’t even have to buy tickets myself. I booked two train tickets for 9 taels. Why two? In her words, she is afraid of me. I died in my hometown. Who said that letting me go back this time was not Master’s plan for me to explain my funeral arrangements?
Three days later, we arrived at Pingdingshan, Henan, a coal town where I had lived for nearly twenty years. Reform and opening up had really little impact on the mainland. Compared with the rapid changes in the south, Pingdingshan was almost the same as when I left a few years ago.
What a change. After leaving the station, we got on the minibus bound for the small mountain village where my home is. The bumpy ride along the way made people nauseous. In addition, the hygiene on the bus was really unflattering. As a person who doesn’t get motion sickness, I couldn’t get off.
I almost vomited while driving.
Because my hometown is close to the reservoir, I thought it had beautiful mountains and clear waters. Jiuliang was immediately obsessed with the scenery here. I laughed it off. City people appreciate the mountains and rivers, but who in the country doesn't envy the high-rise buildings?
I stood on the dam, overlooking the village below the dam, and learned a little bit about Feng Shui and Kanyu from the old master. When I saw the village surrounding it, I suddenly found that the entire mountain village had a terrain like a dragon and a tiger.
The hill here is close to a reservoir, which also reflects the Feng Shui saying that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is quite good, but I don’t know when our village will have a figure who can bring glory to our ancestors.
I have changed a lot after being away from home for many years. I thought that no one in the village would recognize me. After all, when I was a young man, I was no longer an unconventional young man in the countryside. I can’t say whether I am successful or not now.
, at least on the surface he seems to be a semi-successful person. Who knew that people in the village actually recognized me and greeted me, but they all looked at me strangely, as if they were quite afraid of me. Male
Fortunately, some aunts were taking care of their children. When they saw me holding their children, they closed the door and went home.
When I came here, I asked Jiuliang to change out of his police uniform. Just kidding, rural people are quite old-fashioned. When they saw a policeman coming back with me, they thought I had done something wrong. At this time, Jiuliang saw the villagers treating me badly.
In response, he said: Classmate Zhao Sanliang, were you a sneaky character in your village before? Why do I think your fellow villagers look at you like a god of plague?
I scratched my head and wondered endlessly. I was a little gangster back then, but when I was a child, why do these elders in the village still hate me so much after so many years?
When I looked back, there were even people pointing and pointing behind me, not knowing what to say. When they saw me looking back at them, they immediately dispersed.
What the hell is going on? My brother is also a writer after all, so why are he being treated like this? While we were talking, a neighbor's sister-in-law came up in front of me. This sister-in-law was very kind to me. When I was in school, no one in my family treated me like this.
I would go to his house to have a meal. I saw her and quickly said hello, but I saw that she looked unnatural for a moment and quickly put on a smiling face: The mistress is back! Oops, this is the daughter-in-law she brought back.
, so handsome.
I chuckled and said: Right, sister-in-law, eldest brother is not at home?
The sister-in-law said, "I went to work in the city. This guy got a thousand cuts. He's so busy at home that he doesn't even know he's coming back."
I grinned and said: Then when he comes back, I will take care of him during the day, and you let him sleep in the corner at night. By the way, sister-in-law, do you think I have changed a lot now? Why do all these uncles and aunts see ghosts when they see me?
Same? Do you still remember those bastard things I did back then?
My sister-in-law's face changed again, she pulled me and said: Ignore them, they are all shady good guys. Seeing that you are getting ahead, you are jealous. Don't say anything. Xiaosanliang has really made a lot of money in the past few years.
, Where can you find such a promising child in ten miles and eight villages? Your house has also been renovated. I am afraid that you will not be able to find a place. Come on, my sister-in-law will take you there.
I followed my sister-in-law home, and I knew that we were building a house at home. No matter what my father's attitude was towards me in the past, I would mail some money back after a while. My parents are very frugal, so it was normal for them to build a house. They came to my house
When we were walking down that alley, I met my grandfather, the oldest old man in our village.
He was holding a crutch in his hand, sitting on a wicker chair, and looking at me coldly. My grandpa was very addicted to smoking. When I was a child, I often saw him rolling the lowest tobacco leaves and smoking. And he was also kind to me. I
I quickly took out my cigarette and wanted to give him one, but as soon as I got closer, he hit me on the head with his cane.
Grandpa is in good health, but this cane hit me almost to the point of tears. I couldn’t fight back, so I could only say: Grandpa, I am Xiao Sanliang, you don’t recognize me anymore?!
He was panting in anger and wanted to hit me, cursing: I'm beating you, a disrespectful bastard! Do you still have the nerve to come back?!
He got angry when he scolded me like this, and I also belong to the kind of person with a bad temper. Young people nowadays can respect the old and love the young, but who can't fight back just because of their seniority? I grabbed his crutches
Said: Taigong, what do you mean?! What have I done to offend my ancestors? I didn’t go to college, and that’s my family’s business. Just because of that, I have no shame in going back to this village!
Seeing this, my sister-in-law quickly pulled me away and said as she walked: "Xiao Sanliang, you are so stupid. Why are you so familiar with him? Come on, go home!"
My sister-in-law pulled me forward, and my grandfather squatted on the ground and cried: "Old ancestors, I will kill this unfilial descendant sooner or later!"
Jiuliang has been following me, taking in everything. When we arrived at the door of our house, she grabbed me and asked: What on earth did you do in the village?
I covered the big bump on my head and said with a sad face: How do I know?
After entering the yard, my mother was peeling corn in the yard. The moment she saw me, she shed tears and said to the room: Old man! Sanliang is back!
I saw my mother's head of silver hair, and tears blurred my eyes unconsciously.
There was a cough in the room, and a man with the same white hair came out, my father.
I haven’t seen him for many years, but I once thought he was a man who could carry the sky on his shoulders.
When he saw me, he smiled and said: Just come back.
As the song says, go home often. Old people don't care about how much their children can contribute to the family. They only care about peace and tranquility in their lives. I even thought of what an old Taoist priest once said to me.
To be extremely passionate is to be extremely devoted to the Tao. If you have cultivated the Tao, but you have lost your willfulness, what is the use of the Tao?
I have always thought that if you have a successful career, you will be worthy of your parents. If you really have a successful career and want to be filial to your parents, what is the point of everything?
