Chapter 106: The little dirt bag under the courtyard
"I'm leaving now. You don't have to work so hard to serve me anymore. By the way, I have transferred the ownership of this courtyard to your name. Remember, sell it and use the money to read a book.
I want to buy a building for college. You are the last child anyway, so don’t feel uncomfortable. Also, you must live a good life for me."
Ye Chao held the hand of the scrawny old man lying on the old wooden bed, listened to what he said, and then watched him close his eyes.
This scene was very familiar to him, and it was also a scene that he did not want to forget and did not dare to forget. He silently put the old man's hand back into the quilt, then walked out of the house, looked at the small tree with pear blossoms in full bloom outside the courtyard, and left two lines of clear
tears.
Suddenly, the scene changed. He took a wooden box and came under the pear tree. He dug on the hard ground under the tree with both hands. His hands were already stained with blood, but he didn't seem to notice it because he thought,
From the day the old man picked her up until now, she has never given anything back to the old man.
The old man is gone, so he can only use this stupidest but direct method to give back to the old dean. Perhaps, only in this way can he feel better about his guilt.
Putting the wooden box in the pit, he carefully filled the pit with soil, inserted a willow branch next to it, took out a cigarette, lit it and inserted it next to the willow branch, and took out another
Bottles of wine began to pour around the small dirt bag.
"The cigarettes are your favorite Hongqiqu, and the wine is Fenyang Wang bought from the supermarket across from Lao Li's house. You are usually reluctant to buy it. When we were young, we saved up money to buy it for you, and you called us prodigal, haha,
Now that I bought it for you, you get up and beat me!"
"You can buy such a yard, then why don't you go find a wife and have a baby? You have to take care of us naughty bastards."
"Besides, even without you, can the country leave us alone? Why are you living so tiredly? You always say that I am as stubborn as Uncle Wang's donkey, but in my opinion, you are, and you are even more stubborn than Uncle Wang's donkey.
A hundred times!"
Like a child, he regarded the little bumpkin as a classmate who bullied him and scolded him. However, as he scolded him, he knelt there and cried again.
He just cried like that. I don’t know how long it took. In short, he cried until there were no more tears. He took out the half bottle of Fenyang King and poured it into his mouth. The burning feeling of the hot wine in his stomach was at this moment.
It was so clear and real, but he didn't care about it. They said that wine can numb all mental pain, and he was in pain now.
Perhaps, wine can really numb the mental pain. When he finished the wine, threw the glass bottle aside and smashed it into pieces, the feeling of wanting to cry was really gone.
"You are very kind to me, so I have listened to you since I was a child. This time, I am ready to resist. I will not sell the house. However, I will live well, no matter where I am, I will live well."
He stood up, and the silvery-white pear blossoms on the tree began to wither and sprinkle on the small earth bag. However, he was not surprised by such a scene. He walked out of the door without any hesitation, and then locked the gate of the yard.
.
…
…
The little sparrow cried very hard, because when it and Ye Chao walked into the stone gate, Ye Chao closed his eyes and started to cry.
It had never seen Ye Chao cry before, and it didn't know why Ye Chao was crying. It just felt that Ye Chao was sad, so it was also sad and cried along with it.
A warm hand was placed on its head. Seeing that Ye Chao had opened his eyes and the tears in his eyes had already been wiped clean, it hurriedly wiped away the tears with its wings.
"Chirping?"
"It's nothing. I saw some scenes from long ago. You can understand that I thought about the painful things in the past, and I cried like a girl."
The little sparrow nodded, then pointed forward and chirped again.
It was a pool of water in the hinterland of the cave. The wind from nowhere blew across the water and hit them with a hint of coolness. On the dome, there was a huge night pearl, which exuded a coolness as cold as the moon.
The bright beam of light makes there not much darkness here.
There is a raised stone platform in the center of the small pool. There is a tall stone tablet on the stone platform and a stone box standing on one side.
"That should be the stone tablet and the Zhuxian Sword that Master mentioned. Come on, let's go over and take a look."
The little sparrow let out a cheer, deliberately slowed down and flew with Ye Chao on the stone platform.
Viewing from a distance and viewing from close up are always two completely different ways of observing things. Just like before, when viewing from a distance, Ye Chao felt that the stone tablet was just a stone tablet; while when viewing from a close distance, he saw a large stone tablet that was twice as tall as himself.
, looking at the words on it that were like knives and axes, he felt that this stone tablet was like an old man full of vicissitudes of life.
The little sparrow seemed to have a similar feeling, so it did not chirp happily when seeing novel things as usual, but stood on Ye Chao's shoulder and tilted its furry head to watch carefully.
Those words had a different kind of charm. When Ye Chao looked at them carefully, his mind was immersed in them.
He has an understanding that Wan Jianyi would envy, and he has four volumes of heavenly books as support. In addition, his current practice has fallen into a strange state. It is understandable that he fell into such a state after seeing the stone tablet.
What he didn't know was that the reason why Daoxuan wanted him to come to Huanyue Cave was because the content on the stone tablet was exactly what he needed in his current situation.
…
…
Once enlightened, time naturally passed very quickly. Three days later, the little sparrow was captured by Daoxuan from Huanyue Cave Mansion with an angry but helpless face. The reason was very simple. Ye Chao must be in Huanyue Cave Mansion.
It will stay for a long time, and its presence will interfere with Ye Chao's practice.
It flew back to the ancestor's ancestral hall out of boredom, but fortunately, the ancestor's ancestral hall was relatively free because Wan Jian was traveling down the mountain. It could stand at the highest point of the ancestral hall every morning and sing loudly to Dahei who was grinding his teeth.
You can also call all the birds in the mountains behind the ancestral hall to sing together on the roof.
There is a price to pay for doing this. After all, on the third day after it returned to the ancestral hall, the roof of the ancestral hall was covered with the droppings of various birds. In addition, several birds had already fallen into the ancestral hall under its indulgence.
There is a nest under the eaves, but the time to pay the price is still in the future. For now, just be happy.
Dahei lay under the peach tree all day long, praying that Wan Jian would not come back too early. Of course, this was not a prayer for the little sparrow, but a wish to enjoy the autumn harvest alone.
