Chapter 336: The Last Side
After having dinner at Goudan's house, Xuanwei and Goudan went to Uncle Zhao's house again.
The shed in the courtyard has been built, and there are more boxes of incense candles, paper money, and firecrackers in the corner than in the early morning, and wreaths and other objects are placed outside the courtyard.
Under a kerosene lamp, several old women are sewing mourning clothes with white cloth and hearse linen.
Walking into the house, Uncle Zhao's wife struggled from the hospital bed, and was staying by Uncle Zhao's bed with several children at the moment.
Goudan looked around, and it wasn't until he saw Zhang Kun's figure in the crowd that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, this way Uncle Zhao's family can be regarded as a family reunion!"
Suddenly, Goudan found a dignified woman standing next to Zhao Mei, who caressed the old lady's back and whispered a few words of comfort.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Goudan remembered that this woman was clearly the daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhao's deceased second son.
"Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhao's second daughter-in-law has already married someone else's family, and this time he actually came!"
Although she used to be the daughter-in-law of Uncle Zhao's family, after all, her husband passed away, and she remarried and had children.
Moreover, to put it mildly, it is difficult for her to make her current husband dissatisfied, and if her father-in-law and mother-in-law are small-minded, they may accuse her of not keeping women's morals.
Even a few people in the Zhao family did not welcome her, a "Kefu person", and she never gave a good look, even so, she still chose to stay, and did her best to do her best.
"It's a pity, such a good daughter-in-law, if it's a daughter, Uncle Zhao is also blessed!"
Xuanwei listened to the dog's muttering, and pursed her lips imperceptibly.
The relationship between people needs to be maintained with heart, even if there is a blood relationship, long-term indifference will also produce alienation and estrangement. On the contrary, if you sincerely give to each other, even if you have been separated for many years, the emotion will not fade.
……
Seeing Xuanwei and Goudan coming, Zhao Mei helped the old lady to come to Xuanwei.
"Little Daoist, the old man must thank you for giving our family a chance to reunite! If it weren't for your help, maybe these unfilial sons and daughters of the old man would not have seen the old man for the last time!" the old lady trembled and held Xuanwei's hand and thanked him deeply.
However, the words are full of sadness and sadness.
The old lady is a little older, but not so dizzy that she can't even read the thoughts of her children.
gave birth to so many children, and when they were young, they were all well-behaved and sensible, but after they grew up and became a family, they all began to be estranged except for the youngest daughter. The two old men saw it in their eyes and suffered in their hearts, but they never said it.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, the poor way is just a gesture!" Xuan Wei bowed.
The old lady thanked Xuanwei again and again, sighed, and said in a low voice: "The old man really didn't expect it, it would be the old man who took the first step." He's gone like this, who will take care of him in the future?"
The old lady's voice was not loud, but the few families in the room definitely heard it, but they either pretended not to hear it, or bowed their heads in shame.
"Mother, you can live in my house in the future, Jingjing and I can take care of you conveniently!" Zhao Mei, who was holding the old lady, said.
The second daughter-in-law opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still couldn't say it.
The old lady patted Zhao Mei's hand lightly and did not speak.
"Daoist Xuanwei, you have given me two options to choose from before, and in order to let several brothers and sisters see my father for the last time, I chose the latter. Now our family is indeed reunited, but my father didn't see this scene, I beg you, can you find a way to make my father open his eyes and look at us! I know it's a bit brazen to make this kind of request now, but after all, it's my father, as long as I can let my father see us at the end, even if I can repay him as a cow and a horse for the Taoist!" Zhao Mei suddenly stood up and knelt heavily in front of Xuan Wei.
Xuanwei's heart trembled, but she was a little moved by Zhao Mei's filial piety as a child.
"Dao Chief, I beg you too! In the past ten years, I have dreamed of this home and my parents countless times, but I have never had the courage to come back! It was not until I saw my father lying on the hospital bed that I woke up to the point that he might not be able to see me go home in the end! I could be filial to them for more than ten years, but I didn't cherish it, and even if I regret it now, it's too late! If I could, this unfilial son would like to say 'I'm sorry' to him in person!" Zhao Kun gritted his teeth and said, crying silently when he knelt down.
"Daoist Xuanwei, please be merciful!"
"Dao Chief, please use your magical powers!"
"No matter what, I want to see my father for the last time!"
……
Several children, either from the heart, or out of the way of face, or sensationalism, knelt in front of Xuanwei one after another.
Xuan Wei was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, life and death are days, and the poor Dao can only do his best. ”
Hearing Xuanwei's words, all the children were overjoyed.
Xuan Wei came to Uncle Zhao's bedside, only to see that after a few strokes of his long sleeves, all the fine needles on Uncle Zhao's body were removed.
Taking out the needle box, Xuanwei put the handful of acupuncture needles in his hand back into the box.
"When these needles are removed, the previously blocked vitality begins to pass at a rate of several times. Xuan Wei said as he reached out to probe Uncle Zhao's snort and heartbeat.
Sure enough, without the effect of acupuncture, Uncle Zhao's breathing, heartbeat, and pulse returned to normal.
At the same time, it also means that the only remaining sand in the hourglass begins to pass quickly.
"In order to make Uncle Zhao come to his senses, Xuanwei must stimulate his remaining vitality, even so, I am afraid that it will only be a short minute or two, I hope you cherish this last time!" Xuanwei reminded.
Twisted up the thickest acupuncture needle, and slammed it into Uncle Zhao's heart.
The tip of the needle pierced into the ventricles, and Uncle Zhao, who was in a coma, suddenly trembled.
"Uncle Zhao will wake up soon, you can say goodbye to him!" Xuan Wei got up and said.
Whispering and shouting the dog, Xuanwei and the two quietly left the house, and the next time was the reunion of the Zhao family after a long absence, and it was also the final farewell.
As the two of them walked out of the house, there was a burst of exclamations and shouts from inside.
The commotion lasted less than a few seconds before calming down.
About two minutes later, there was a cry from inside the house.
Xuan Wei took out a drawn rune paper from his sleeve and recited in a low voice: "The Imperial Decree of the Taishang, the Lonely Soul of Chaoyou!"
The rune paper burned to ashes in an instant, and only a cloud of green smoke rose into the night sky.
