After Xu Guodong and Lin Juan got married, their life was pretty good. They were not only Qin Se and Ming, but they were also diligent and lived a good life.
The next year, they had a child, a girl. When the child was born, the Lin family came to see it and they all said that the girl was very similar to Lin Juan.
Daughter, I can’t put it down.
Every day when I came back from outside, the first thing I did was to see how my daughter was doing. They gave this daughter a name - Xu Wan.
Xu Wan's voice brought a lot of happiness to the family. The child is the crystallization of the parents' love. They naturally love the child extremely much, and basically all their attention is focused on the child.
The child's food and clothing, his future schooling and life, and the child are still in their infancy, this young couple can't wait to plan their future life.
The old Taoist priest had already settled in the village, with no intention of leaving. As time went by, the villagers got used to having such an old man in the village.
Although the old Taoist priest is relatively kind, the people in the village are not very friendly to him. Everyone feels that although this old man seems to be very kind to everyone, he has a vague feeling of alienation.
They feel a little strange to them, unlike Xu Guodong, who is completely integrated with the people in the village.
However, the relationship between this old Taoist and Xu Guodong is still very good. Although the old Taoist has never gone to school, his many insights and the places he has traveled are unmatched by Xu Guodong.
During leisure time, the two of them would sit together and drink tea and chat, talking about the past and present, poetry, and the changes in the world.
Xu Guodong respected this old Taoist man very much. He heard too many things from the old man, such as strange legends, new things, and a special set of Taoist theories. The old man used Taoist theories to analyze everything that happened in the world to Xu Guodong.
.
Through all kinds of fresh scientific principles, Xu Guodong has really never come into contact with Taoist people like the old Taoists.
Xu Guodong pursued science and learned many things from science. However, as a scholar and a teacher, he never rigidly insisted on something.
The truth becomes clearer with more debate. The truth of this matter can never be explained clearly in just a few sentences. Although some scientific knowledge and truths in the West are new knowledge, when we carefully dig into the legacy left by the sages,
If you understand things, you will find that in fact, we have already understood many truths.
For a sentence, every era has different interpretations. Just like Sun Tzu's Art of War, many people are still studying the strategies and tactics on ancient battlefields, and they have been spread abroad and used by countless people.
Considered a classic.
Knowledge will only be updated, but it will never become outdated. The principles laid out will never be placed there and directly regarded as classics. Instead, they need to be continuously improved from generation to generation. The ancients only gave a beginning, and what will follow
It will be added by future generations.
Xu Guodong learned a lot from the old Taoists through their exchanges with the old people. He found that the sentences they saw in books that they regarded as mottos had actually appeared in various classic anthologies very early.
In the exchanges between people, we summarize ourselves and discover new continents.
In this process, he continued to learn and grow. He regarded the old Taoist master as his teacher. When he turned over the original classics again, he saw a completely different world.
In this small Linjia Village, Xu Guodong met the most important person in his life and experienced the most important growth stage in his life.
He lives here, studies here, and makes rapid progress every day.
One year, two years, three years ago, when Lin Juan and Xu Guodong's child was one year old, the old Taoist came to the house to take a special look.
The next year, Xu Guodong and Lin Juan discovered that this old Taoist man was particularly caring for their daughter. Of course, this was not a strange thing. After all, old people like children, and Xu Guodong and this old Taoist man were close friends for many years.
Liking children is not a big deal.
At the beginning, Lin Juan was wary of this old Taoist because of the old lady's words. However, after such a long time, this old Taoist never did anything out of the ordinary except for drinking tea and chatting with Xu Guodong.
They are a pair of true confidants, at least that's how it seems to outsiders.
It is said that time reveals people's hearts. Three years have passed, and time has been enough for them to see many things and many people clearly.
The old Taoist has now become a frequent visitor to Xu Guodong's house. Every time either the old Taoist comes to see Xu Guodong, or Xu Guodong brings some food to visit the old Taoist.
Lin Juan is a sensible woman. Although she has her own opinions on many things, she also understands that what the old lady said back then was only her opinion. At that time, the old Taoist had just arrived in Linjia Village. Such a short time could not explain anything.
.
She can't do things according to the old lady's views, because she is Lin Juan and she is an independent person.
She has her own way of judging life and all kinds of people and things. What the old lady said at that time was just her own opinion. Although the old man's words contained truth and a perspective that their young people could not see, but
Not everything is necessarily right.
But since the old lady still remembered to tell Lin Juan about this matter at the last moment of her life, it means that it is very likely that this old Taoist
There was something about him that they didn't see.
Regarding these matters, Lin Juan did not tell Xu Guodong. Lin Juan also secretly hid the small cloth bag that the old lady gave to her.
Finding that the personal relationship between the old Taoist and Xu Guodong was getting better and better, Lin Juan did not force any changes. She asked the elders of the Lin family in private, but the elders of the Lin family did not say anything to Lin Juan and just asked her to go back and make peace.
Live a peaceful life with Xu Guodong.
Lin Juanni didn't say much about this arrangement. Everyone in the village knew that the Lin family was mysterious, so Lin Juan didn't know the mystery of the Lin family.
Precisely because Lin Juan is a member of the Lin family, she is even more aware of the mystery of the Lin family.
When outsiders see the Lin family, they may at most think that the Lin family seems mysterious sometimes, but Lin Juan knows that this is just a corner of the Lin family.
As a member of the Lin family, she knows much more than outsiders.
For example, people in the village, including everyone who knows the Lin family, all know that the Lin family has a very outstanding and beautiful daughter.
But I'm afraid no one knows that she is not the only one in the Lin family in this generation. There is another child hidden in the darkness. No one in the village has seen that child, and Lin Juan has only been around since ten years.
I saw it once when I was one or two years old.
It was like a dream. The child seemed to suddenly appear in front of her, telling her that he was her brother, and then suddenly disappeared. No matter how she searched, she could never find the child again. She once went
She asked where her brother had gone, but no one gave her an answer.
Her father did not deny the existence of that younger brother, but just told her that now is not the time, when will it be?
She didn't know it, but from that day on, Lin Juan changed. Her family began to educate her differently, and her life began to become different. She did not refuse. Living in a family like the Lin family, she needed to know more.
That's why Lin Juan is so different from the girls in the same village. At the age of eleven or twelve, she has already begun to understand. What she saw in the Lin family is not something ordinary people can know.
The secrets of the Lin family may not be told to outsiders until the day the Lin family disappears.
The Lin family may become an insignificant part of history, but it doesn't matter because she is not part of the Lin family's secret.
She understands, but does not explore. She just knows that there is one thing that needs to be done after she becomes an adult. She doesn’t know what or when. She cherishes every day of her life now because she
Don't know what that thing is.
Will there be no good life now after what happened...
