Chapter Ninety-Two: Leaving and Becoming
Yu Xiaotong endured the pain, wrote down Xie Xiaoyun's instructions one by one, and even wrote down Xie Xiaoyun's request for him to leave Yujiawan and go outside to find a broader world.
And Xie Xiaoyun didn't wait to see Yu Xiaotong stop the shipwreck after all, half a year later, she passed away in Yujiawan, there was no surgery here, no chemotherapy, her condition deteriorated rapidly, she left in a hurry, and some unwilling and regretful, I thought that there would be a new life, who knew that this new life would be so short.
She has no family, as a "sister-in-law", Yu's sister-in-law asked Yu Xiaotong to handle Xie Xiaoyun's funeral as a nephew, Yu Xiaotong didn't even know where to report to the funeral and who to report to.
Since then, no one has been able to talk to Yu Xiaotong about this matter, not only has he lost a best friend he has made in his old age, but he has also lost a spiritual dependence and strong assistance.
Yu Xiaotong's hallucinations still haunt him, but he has learned to shut up, and once he does, it will be four years. In the past four years, he has changed back to the farmer who only knows how to farm, and he is still ridiculed and looked down upon by the entire Yujiawan, without saying relatives or friends.
The children of the eldest brother's family have grown up, and the eldest has also reached the age of learning sea life, but fortunately, he is not as unproductive as Yu Xiaotong and does not have to go farming.
Yu Xiaotong waited quietly in Yujiawan for the thirtieth year of the Republic of China. One day at the end of September, there was no need to even guess or gamble on luck, Yu Xiaotong knew that it was this day.
The sky, the clouds, the fishing boats, every detail of this morning was exactly the same as his hallucinations and memories, and he knew it was today.
What he didn't understand was why he didn't see the faces of these familiar villagers in his hallucination, and he didn't know any of the people he saw.
On this day, the fishermen of Yujiawan, as usual, stepped on the tide in the morning light, wanting to go out to sea to fish, and Yu Xiaotong stopped in front of them.
Yu Xiaotong is afraid of water, and everyone in Yujiawan knows it from the eighty-year-old man to the three-year-old child, but Yu Xiaotong, who is so afraid of water that he has been crazy for half a year, is now standing in the seawater, his feet trembling, but he firmly stopped them.
You have to give a reason, this is the source of food and clothing for the whole village, you must always give a reason, otherwise tomorrow the whole village will go to the patriarch's house for dinner? What can Yu Xiaotong say? Say those hallucinations of his? Say the analysis that Xie Xiaoyun left him before he died? Or did he foresee that something would happen?
What he was most afraid of before going to sea was such bad luck, Yu Xiaotong's behavior was tantamount to touching the mold of the whole village, but he had to insist, he couldn't watch his fellow villagers die.
Soon, someone has already invited his grandfather, the old patriarch of Yujiawan has become a shrimp with a white beard, and his teeth have almost fallen out, he has been very old in the past two years, but as long as he is still here, the people of Yujiawan will listen to what he says.
Yu Xiaotong is most afraid of his grandfather in this world, but in other words, the most desired recognition is also from his grandfather, he looked at this old man who he had been in awe of God since he was a child, and said firmly: "I can't go to sea today." ”
Sister-in-law Yu followed the patriarch, looking at Yu Xiaotong's strange behavior, she did not rush up and pull him away directly, but walked in front of Yu Xiaotong, blocking everyone's sight: "I can't go to sea today, I worshiped at Mazu Temple last night, Mazu said that I can't go to sea today, I asked Xiaotong to inform everyone." Yu Xiaotong took over the conversation behind her: "Because there is a storm today." ”
"How is it possible, the weather is so good today, and it is not the first day we have been out to sea. Someone retorted on the spot, of course, the weather was very good, and the sudden storm at sea was not enough to really cause any substantial harm to everyone who begged for a living at sea all year round.
But if Xie Xiaoyun's guess is spoken, then how can everyone believe that Yu Xiaotong, who does not go out of Yujiawan for half a step all day long, can know the movements of the devil?
But going to sea pays attention to an auspicious one, and sister-in-law Yu said that Mazu said that she can't go to sea, whether it's true or not, you have to weigh it, so everyone set their sights on the patriarch.
Grandpa Yu Xiaotong twisted his sparse beard, pursed his mouth, and took a trembling step forward, saying, "Since Mazu Niangniang showed that she can't go to sea today, let's disperse." ”
Although reluctantly, but the patriarch spoke, he still had to listen, there were a few foreign surnames, he insisted on going out, Yu Xiaotong couldn't stop him, he could only watch them set up a boat and go to sea, fortunately, most of the people didn't go out, but they didn't dare to complain about Mazu, let alone the patriarch, and went home obediently.
In the evening, the waves swept up a few broken planks, and after a few more days, the waves pushed a sampan to the shore, and after a few more days, a body that had been soaked white washed ashore.
No one doubted Yu Xiaotong's words anymore, but no one thanked Yu Xiaotong, they all ran to the Mazu Temple to thank them, only Yu's sister-in-law knew that whatever Mazu showed was a lie.
She knew that Yu Xiaotong wouldn't tell her, and she didn't get to the bottom of it, after all, among the people who were prevented from going to sea, there were not only her husband, but also two sons, as well as the eldest son of the Yu family, the eldest grandson she valued the most.
Yu Xiaotong felt that his mission had been completed, and he could do what Xie Xiaoyun wanted him to do, and look at the world that Xie Xiaoyun had told him. Before leaving Yujiawan, he plucked up the courage to meet his grandfather, because he also couldn't understand why his grandfather, who had always disliked him, would help him.
The old man pouted and said: "Your guts, you usually have to walk around the water, that day you actually dared to stand in the water in front of everyone, although I don't know what will happen, but since this incident gives you so much courage and courage, it is definitely not a trivial matter, it is nothing to go out to sea for one day, and you can't die of hunger for a day." ”
Yu Xiaotong laughed dumbly, it turned out that it was just because of this. But no matter what, Yu Xiaotong felt that his responsibility in Yujiawan had been completed, and he left this small fishing village with a burden on his back, just as Xie Xiaoyun expected.
This is a vast country, and Yujiawan is only the size of a sesame seed. After Yu Xiaotong left Yujiawan, he knew how big the world was, how turbulent it was, and how difficult it was for all beings in troubled times. In such a tragic era, Yujiawan turned out to be the last peach blossom source.
It is also because he left this last peach blossom source that Yu Xiaotong knows that in this world, there is not only fishing for a living. Heroes emerge in troubled times, and with Yu Xiaotong's talent, he naturally did something earth-shattering.
