My mother chased after me and said, Qiao Qiao, are you thinking about it? Look at what you are wearing now. Aren’t they all suits worn by men? Since you are dressed so neutrally...
I turned around and interrupted my mother: "I do dress a bit like a man now, but the reason why I wear a suit is to be professional. I don't want to dress too casually and make people think that I am too young to be an onmyoji. Mom,
Let me tell you one last time, I will not choose between a man or a woman, and it is even more impossible for me to let a woman bear children for me!
"Qiao Qiao! Can you bear to see your father like this? Why don't you even ask your mother to beg you?"
I took a deep breath: "I beg you, if you really think you are my mother, then don't force me anymore..."
Mom stood there with tears in her eyes: "Qiao Qiao... Mom is not forcing you, Mom is just..."
I turned my head, raised my feet and left directly, with a self-deprecating smile on my lips. I understand, it's just selfish. And this is the reason why I can't be truly intimate. It's not that my parents don't care about the rewards for their efforts.
Yes, but you don't know how, so I have to get used to it, and get used to the hidden purpose behind your words...
Carrying on the family line... Hehe, how could that young mourning sect back then be able to take on such a big responsibility? It would be too high of a question for me.
…
Ching Ming Festival.
Suitable: plug the acupuncture points, clean up the house and do not do anything else; avoid: all things are not suitable.
"Grandma, I'm here to see you."
Before dawn, I followed my grandpa back. When the dawn started to dawn, I collected some dew in front of my grandma's grave. Then I started weeding, repairing, and making offerings. I knelt down and placed the paper on my grandma's grave.
Starting from the previous point, he continued to mutter: "Jiaolong is unfilial. Since I left last year, I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time..."
Grandpa knelt beside me and continued to mutter: "Old woman, don't blame Jiaolong. This child is not easy for her. Now she relies on her for everything at home and outside the house. When you were alive, you always said that Jiaolong should be the mother of Jiaolong."
The dragon is in front of her parents. Now she has granted your wish, so you can rest assured."
As he said that, grandpa put the gold ingot into the paper and sighed in his mouth: "Actually, you said why people are so tired from living. I think Jiaolong is tired. You are gone, so you are grateful.
You don’t even know how miserable we are day by day. Huijuan’er and Jiaolong, her aunt, are not dealing with her now. They had another quarrel two days ago because of Dazhi’s drinking. This time the quarrel was quite serious.
They made a fuss again about dividing the family. This time they said they wanted to separate the family. Then I realized that if the famine was repaid, Huijuan'er and his wife would have nothing left. Tell me how it will change.
That’s it.”
I glanced at my grandpa: "Grandpa, don't tell grandma this, don't let grandma get angry."
Grandpa didn't know if his eyes were affected by the smoke, but there were some muddy old tears in his eyes: "I am the master, shouldn't these days be better and better? Old lady, didn't you set up a fortune-enhancing array?
Then why are Huijuan and Dazhi's life getting worse and worse? I'm not afraid of anything else, won't this Jiaolong be tired in the future?"
The paper in front of my grandma's grave suddenly burned up, and it was so hot that it made my face sultry. I quickly supported my grandpa and said, "Grandma, don't worry, it's okay. Don't worry, it's so difficult."
It will all pass."
Zong Bao, who had been standing behind him without answering, suddenly said: "Cause and effect are all formed by choice, and they are all determined by choice. I set up the treasure formation to attract wealth. I just hope that Huijuan will treat Jiaolong well. I must not let her be in her twenties."
I was half a step away from home at this age, but I didn’t expect that my grandson would leave in tears after all the good things happened..."
I looked at Zong Bao and couldn't help but be stunned: "Grandma..."
Zong Baotou stood there with an expressionless face, and continued to open his mouth: "It is taboo for people to have children without children. I worked hard just to make Huijuan's family realize their blessings early, but now it seems that I am still wrong.
Yes, everyone has mental obstacles, which may manifest themselves in one way or another. They are selfish and do not seek solutions. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Since it is a cycle of cause and effect, there is nothing I can do about it."
I looked at Zong Bao blankly, and the world suddenly became dark and gloomy. My grandfather was so shocked beside me that he kept saying: "Old woman! Are you an old woman!!!"
The wind suddenly picked up, and a purple lightning bolt jumped directly into the air with a crackling sound.
Grandpa was a little scared and held my hand. He seemed to be so fascinated that he couldn't open his eyes and kept saying: "Jiaolong, why has the weather changed! Is it going to rain heavily? Hurry, Grandpa."
Let’s take you down the mountain quickly, it’s not possible to be on the mountain when there’s thunder!”
But I stood up directly. The wind was very strong, as if my grandpa would be blown away, but I didn’t feel any blow on my body. Through the light of lightning, I clearly looked at Zong Bao’s face.
He opened his mouth: "Grandma..."
Zong Bao's eyes gradually looked at me, and for the first time, complex emotions were revealed in the whites of his eyes. He opened his mouth and uttered a few words: "Jiaolong, you are about to start..."
I didn’t understand what this meant: “Grandma, what does this mean?”
Zong Bao pointed at Lightning: "Look..."
I followed Zong Bao's hand and my eyes widened in an instant. In the dim sky, I actually saw a blue dragon-like thing running towards the lightning, and an indescribable scream came out of my mouth.
The voice: "That's... that's..."
"that is you."
Zong Bao looked at me: "Jiaolong, you still have calamities to overcome, but your destiny must be clear, and your abilities will no longer be suppressed by changing your destiny. Remember, you are an Onmyoji, and you are not aware of your innate conditions.
Be sure to cherish it...
After I finished speaking, a storm of sand hit me, and I was blindfolded. When I opened my eyes again, I could only hear the chirping of birds, and my breath was filled with the fragrance of the morning in the mountains. Only a few bright sparks were left on the burning paper in front of the grave. It was calm.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Grandpa took my hand and stood up, looking at Zong Bao: "Old woman, old woman?!"
Zong Bao looked at his grandfather dullly: "Grandpa, who are you calling."
I turned around in a daze and glanced at my grandpa: "Grandpa, grandma is gone..."
Grandpa looked at me with trembling lips: "What did your grandma mean by what she just said? Does it mean that your mother's family is living like this as retribution, just because when you were young..."
"Stop talking about it, grandpa." I interrupted him: "It's good to understand some words, why do you need to say them so straightforwardly."
"Alas!" When grandpa heard this, he stopped talking and just sighed: "I really knew this would happen, why did I do it in the first place!!"
I looked up at the slightly blue sky. The sunlight seemed to be shining gently through the clouds, but suddenly there was a sense of turbulence behind the calm. I could actually hear waves of faint crying, slight frowns, and pinching.
He raised his fingers and muttered: "To the northwest, disaster is coming from the sky. It is difficult to avoid blessings and misfortunes. Corpses are everywhere." (To be continued)
