Only the music from the dance hall came through the door, and there was no sound from the back room. After waiting for a while, Tie Jun walked into the back room.
Dachun was lying motionless on the bed as usual. Tie Jun sat on the square stool beside the bed, reached into the bed and squeezed Dachun's legs.
"Once upon a time, there was a couple, one named Lian'er and the other named Lai Sheng. They made an appointment to get married on the Chinese Valentine's Day.
However, unfortunately, before that day came, Lian'er was raped by a man named Sin. Lian'er didn't want to harm her future life, so she decided to marry Sin.
On the day of their wedding, the next life came to them, but they were injured by sin. From then on, they became bedridden, became a vegetative state, and lay there in a daze waiting to die.
At this time, the Buddha descended from the sky and took out a mirror to show to the next life. In the mirror was Lian'er, lying under the tree, naked, already dead.
Sin came over, kicked Lian'er twice, spat, turned and left.
Soon, the next life came, and after being in a daze for a while, he took off his coat, gently put it on Lian'er, turned around and left.
After a while, another man came over, sighed, dug a hole under the tree, picked up Lian'er, and gently put him into the hole. After burying him, he erected a wooden monument.
I was anxious about the next life, so I looked at the Buddha. The Buddha shook his head and said nothing, and pointed at the mirror.
A picture appeared in the mirror again, a newlywed couple sitting on the bed in the bridal chamber. The groom was the man who appeared last in the scene just now, reaching out to lift the bride's hijab...
In the next life, I was shocked. The bride was Lian'er. In the next life, I cried and looked up at the Buddha.
The Buddha said: 'This is her present life in front of you, and just now was her previous life. You covered her with clothes in the previous life, so that she can protect you and repay you with the love of covering her with clothes in the previous life.
The favor she didn't repay in her previous life was the man who filled the soil for her burial and gave her home. He is called this life, and you...are the next life, Amitabha!'
After the Buddha's name was finished, the Buddha disappeared. In the next life, he sat in silence for a while, then suddenly had an epiphany, sat up from the bed, opened the door and walked out."
After Tie Jun finished speaking, he took back his hand, looked at Dachun quietly for a while, got up and walked out.
"I know you're awake, and I hope you can have an epiphany too!"
Standing at the door, Tie Jun uttered a word softly. After saying that, he strode forward. With a creak, the door opened and the sound of footsteps disappeared.
"Uh-huh, wuwu...I am the next life, I am the next life...wuwuwu!"
Dachun opened his eyes, choked with sobs in a low voice, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
At this time, Tie Jun went out gently, closed the door slowly, sighed, and walked towards the hotel.
Tiejun won the bet, and Dachun had indeed recovered his sanity long ago, but he was unwilling to face the reality. He would rather spend his whole life staying by his side than make a difficult choice.
Tie Jun doesn't know whether the story he made up can enlighten Dachun. I hope he can figure it out and give Sister Taohua relief in this life and give himself hope in the next life!
"Where are you going?"
Walking to the door of the private room, Taohua came out of the opposite bakery and stood in front of Tiejun.
"Going to see Brother Da Chun!"
"Oh, what's there to see? He doesn't know you're looking at him!"
"It's hard to say. People say that people in vegetative states have the most sensitive perceptions. Maybe he thinks it's the Buddha who enlightens him!"
"You're such a mouthful, just talk about yourself!"
"Amitabha!"
Tie Jun opened the door with a smile and walked in. Taohua was stunned for a while and said with a smile: "It would be great if you were a Buddha. Let Dachun wake up quickly, it is better than dealing with a wooden person every day!"
After saying that, he followed Tie Jun into the house. The dishes were already on the table, and the wine was also served. No one touched their chopsticks. They all waited for Tie Jun. Tie Jun and Tao Hua sat down.
"Brothers, the first business is a complete success. Let's take advantage of Sister Taohua's treasure. Let's celebrate today. No one should be leaking and drinking. You won't come back until you're drunk!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
The wine glasses clinked together, no one was confused, and everyone walked away.
Tie Jun was so happy that he drank three cups in one go. The Zhang family brothers and Tao Hua both had enough. However, Shuan Zi and the others were a little overwhelmed. After three cups, their faces started to feel hot.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
Tie Jun moved his chopsticks, and everyone hurriedly filled their bellies with food, preparing for the coming drunkenness.
After drinking for more than ten minutes, the waiter came in with Xiaochuan and Daya, followed by Wang Chunsheng and Li Wei.
"Brother! Sister Taohua!"
"Brother Iron! Hello boss!"
Daya and Xiaochuan spoke first, followed by Wang Chunsheng and Li Wei to say hello.
"Come, let me introduce to you..."
Tie Jun stood up and introduced them one by one. Da Ya and the others sat down in the empty seats. Shuan Zi stood up and filled the wine glasses in front of them.
"I would like to offer you a drink. In one sentence, you are all welcome to my sister's restaurant. Come here if you are hungry. No one will be allowed to see you when you are eating. Come and pay homage to all of you. Please do it first as a courtesy to me!"
Taohua stood up, finished her sentence, and drank another glass of wine. Tiejun blinked, regretting his words that he would never return home until he was drunk.
After drinking until 7 o'clock, Da Ya and the others left first and went to the backstage to prepare for the performance. Tie Jun and the others continued. The atmosphere became early, and everyone's face was glowing.
After drinking for another hour, his eyes began to shake, and Tie Jun clapped his hands.
"Brothers, there is a dance hall behind. How about we drink somewhere else? We can also listen to music and dance!"
"good!"
Everyone pulled their necks and howled, then walked to the dance hall in a daze while holding on to their drunken friends.
Taohua had already reserved a seat. In order to make it easier for everyone to watch Da Ya and Xiao Chuan sing, the booth was located quite close to the front.
"Tie Jun, come here!"
Before Tiejun could sit down, Taohua patted him from behind.
"Gaha?"
Tie Jun was a little shaken and asked while breathing heavily.
"Do you still remember the time I met Xuelian and Xiaoman while drinking here?"
"Zhang Xuelian and Wei Xiaoman, one is a big turtle and works in a design institute, and the other is Kawaii and opens a cosmetics store! Right...right?"
"Yes, that's right. Please be careful what you say later. Don't be a turtle or a kawaii. They brought a few friends to play and asked you to come and sit for a while!"
"As you command, sister-in-law!"
Tiejun stood at attention, and Taohua was so angry that she slapped Tiejun.
"This little bit of wine will make you feel good, but what about the bad guys, right?"
"Hehehe, where are you going? It's not a mistake, it's not a matter of time...ah!"
Taohua grabbed Tiejun's arm and twisted it hard. Tiejun grinned and pulled back.
"Can it be good?"
"It can, it must be possible!"
Taohua smiled, let go of Tie Jun, took Tie Jun's arm and walked to a booth in the distance.
When I walked to the booth, I saw three men and three women. Tie Jun smiled. The men and women matched each other, and the work was not tiring. He looked at the pair he didn't recognize again, and his smile deepened. Red and green matched bullshit!
"Tie Jun, we meet again!"
Xuelian stood up and smiled.
"Haha, how much have you drunk? The smell of alcohol smells so strong even from a distance. Here, chew it to remove the smell!"
Xiao Man waved it in front of his nose, opened a piece of Green Arrow chewing gum, and put it in front of Tie Jun's mouth.
"Hello, two beautiful sisters, ah, thank you!"
Tie Jun opened his mouth and bit his chewing gum. Several others stood up and looked at Tie Jun together.
