Chapter 30: The Mysterious Lama
After three days of happy life at home, Shi Xiaofeng was embarrassed, and he was stopped by his mother several times when he rushed to do housework, saying that it is rare for you to go home once, so let your mother take good care of you for a few days.
Receiving a call from Mr. Li on this day, Shi Xiaofeng thought to himself that I had resigned, why did you still look for me?
"Hello Mr. Li, is there anything to do with me?" his tone was still respectful, after all, in the past half a year in Ningjia Company, Mr. Li was still good to him.
"Xiaofeng, come back quickly, Mr. Shi does not approve your resignation!"
Shi Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Shi Tianci wanted to do. Could it be that he wants to keep me around and torture me slowly?
"Mr. Li, I really can't go back to W City. Besides, although Shi Tianci is a senior executive of the head office, he can't control the personnel changes of Ningjia Company, right?"
"Shi Tianci? Do you think the prince will not allow you to resign? Wrong, wrong, what I said about Mr. Shi is the big boss! Do you know, the big boss personally asked you about your resignation and asked you to rush to the head office immediately to communicate with him face-to-face! Xiaofeng, you kid is lucky!"
Shi Xiaofeng's heart sank, he knew that the "big boss" in the company was Shi Tianci's father, Shi Yuntian, the founder of Zihuan International!
Shi Yuntian, this is a name that is like thunder, a big man in the entire Asian business community! How could such a big man care about the resignation of such a nobody like me?—— Shi Xiaofeng's heart instantly turned countless thoughts.
Mr. Li on the other end of the phone saw that he was silent for a long time, and said hurriedly: "Xiaofeng, don't be a bull temper, the big boss values you, that's the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, you must not miss the opportunity!"
Shi Xiaofeng's heart moved, and suddenly thought that the half-immortal said that I will have a great disaster within ten days, if it is indeed difficult to escape, an accident at home will definitely make my mother heartbroken, it is better to die quietly outside, my mother's pain may be much lighter.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll go to the head office to see the big boss. ”
Mr. Li was overjoyed: "Great, you can leave today, rush to S City in the fastest time, and I will reimburse you for all the expenses!"
Shi Xiaofeng immediately packed his luggage. The mother saw that her son was at home for only three days and was leaving, although she was very reluctant, but it was related to her son's future, so she was not forced to stay.
Shi Xiaofeng saw that his mother was sad, and said with a smile: "Mom, when I finish this matter, I will definitely come back to accompany you for a few more days." I sighed in my heart: Maybe I will never see my mother again.
J city is not connected to the train, although there is a long-distance sleeper car running S city, but the road takes too long, the best plan is to take a long-distance bus to the provincial capital W city, and then turn the car or plane to go to S city.
Shi Xiaofeng rushed to the long-distance station, the last train to the provincial capital by high-speed today, only the last train to take the provincial road at half past six in the evening. Since he had decided to leave J City as soon as possible, he didn't want to delay for a day, so he bought a ticket immediately, anyway, he could rush to the provincial capital tonight and transfer to the plane tomorrow morning.
The long-distance bus drove out of J City and slowly drove onto the provincial road. Shi Xiaofeng looked at the scenery outside the window boredly, and suddenly saw an elderly monk on the side of the road, with two palms and two knees on the ground, and then pushed forward with both palms, and then straightened his legs at the same time, and his whole body was flat on the ground;
It was late autumn and the evening was cooler, but the old monk was wearing only a thin robe, exposing his right arm, and he seemed to be a lama.
Shi Xiaofeng has loved to read miscellaneous books since he was a child, and he is rich in knowledge, but he doesn't know that the old lama's ritual at this moment is the very grand "whole body bow" in Tibetan Buddhism. He admired the old lama's perseverance, and ordinary people couldn't bear it after doing such a ritual a few times, but he bowed step by step, not knowing how long he would worship.
The long-distance car passed by at a gallop, and the old lama disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye. After speeding for an hour, I heard a loud "clang" of the car's engine, and the car suddenly stopped, and many passengers almost fell due to inertia.
The driver was a fat man, and he scolded: "Damn, I ran too hard, I pulled the cylinder!" and got out of the car to check.
Shi Xiaofeng saw smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe of the long-distance bus, and several anxious passengers asked loudly: "Master, what's wrong with the car?" "Is it repaired well?" "Can you get to W City today......
The driver was upset, and said angrily: "What are you yelling about, aren't I checking?" He couldn't start the car for a while, and made a few more phone calls, scolded a few words, and said to everyone: "I can't come at night to repair the car, I'll stop you for a car if you're lucky, and if you're unlucky, you can only spend the night in the car!"
The passengers were in an uproar, but no one dared to raise any objections when they saw the fat man's fierce look. Shi Xiaofeng sighed, knowing that he would probably not be able to go to W City tonight.
He got out of the car to catch his breath, and suddenly saw a man lurking in the grass by the roadside, his body curled up in a ball, shivering. At this time, it was not yet completely dark, and he could clearly see that it was the old lama he had seen when he left the city!
No! The long-distance bus has been speeding for an hour, to say the least, more than 100 miles, and this lama has been walking slowly step by step, how can he keep up with us? Could it be that he could not "shrink the ground"?
The old lama was delirious and seemed to have a sudden illness. Shi Xiaofeng didn't have time to think about it, got in the car and took down his travel bag, took out a thick coat and put it on him, and took out a kettle and slowly poured some water into his mouth.
After a while, the old lama's body slowly stretched, opened his eyes and smiled at Shi Xiaofeng, and said, "Thank you, donor." ”
"Everyone get into this car, hurry up!" The fat driver stopped another long-distance bus from the same transportation company and beckoned everyone to change trains immediately.
Shi Xiaofeng saw that the old lama's face was like gold paper, and his expression was extremely weak, if he was left alone in this wilderness, he was afraid that he would collapse and die in the cold night. Seeing that he had never done anything to save him, he said to the driver: "You guys go, I'll stop the next car by myself later." ”
When the driver saw the old lama, he sighed: "Lao Tzu said that he was so unlucky today, it turned out that he bumped into a monk! Lao Tzu hated monks and nuns the most in his life, and it would be no good to bump into him!"
Shi Xiaofeng listened to his scolding ugly, his heart was angry, the old lama shook his head at him slightly, there seemed to be a calming power in his weakened eyes, Shi Xiaofeng endured this breath.
The old lama suddenly waved to the driver and said something in his mouth. The driver said angrily, "What the hell are you doing?" and still walked over to hear what he had to say.
The old lama's lips were furled, and he spoke very hard: "Shi, donor, go back to the car quickly, standing in the middle of the road is in danger......
The driver smiled: "Lao Tzu has run countless times on this road, and there is no need for the old monk to worry about it!"
The old lama's face was anxious, and he said, "The donor's seal hall is dark, and I am afraid that there will be a big disaster today!"
The driver laughed: "You have deceived Lao Tzu, you can save it, Lao Tzu doesn't have a penny for you!" While laughing, he went to beckon the passengers to transfer trains, and the old lama sighed softly.
Suddenly, a snow-white dazzling light reflected, and the driver scolded: "Damn, what kind of high beams!"
The car in the distance was a large truck full of goods, the driver was tired from driving for more than ten hours, and suddenly saw that the middle of the road in front was full of people, and he stepped on the brakes in a panic - the steering wheel was out of control, and the big truck drew an arc, slanting towards the crowd!
The passengers scattered and fled, and the fat driver seemed to be frightened, reacted slowly for a moment, was hit by a big truck and flew out, and fell to the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Shi Xiaofeng was chilled, looking at the old lama with a sad expression, thinking that this person actually had the ability to predict danger, could it be that he was also the same as a half-immortal, a hidden master?
The passengers and the truck driver who had caused the catastrophe gathered around to check the fat man's life and death, and someone shouted: "That monk is a monster, and the fat man was cursed to death by him!" Another said: "Yes, let's kill that demon monk......"
Shi Xiaofeng was furious and stood up to fight, but the old lama pulled his hand and shook his head again. Shi Xiaofeng was helpless, so he quickly squatted down and carried the old lama on his back, grabbed the travel bag with one hand and ran away.
The two people who scolded were originally colleagues of the fat man, and no other passengers responded, where did Shi Xiaofeng know, and ran out of two miles in one breath before stopping.
Far from the avenue, a deserted adobe house can be seen in the moonlight.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, Shi Xiaofeng put down the old lama, picked up two bundles of straw piled up outside the adobe house, spread them in the room, helped the old lama to lie down, and said, "Master, let's sleep here for one night today, and then think about leaving at dawn." ”
He saw that the old lama had the ability to foresee, and his tone was very respectful.
The old lama gasped and looked even more wilted, Shi Xiaofeng gently stroked his back, fed him and drank some water. After a while, the old lama's body stopped trembling and seemed to be asleep.
Shi Xiaofeng went to sleep on the other side, thinking to himself that I had lived for 23 years, and it was the first time in my life that I spent a night with an elderly lama in the wilderness.
He smiled when he thought of this, this can be regarded as an interesting experience in life.
