140 Meditation for self-cultivation
In just one sentence, all his hidden vulnerabilities were revealed. I know his pride, and I understand the load in his heart right now, and the only thing I can do is to hope that my tenderness can relieve the pain in his heart.
I took the initiative to hug him, kiss his cold, already a little flaky lips, and give him a little limited warmth. He lay weakly, and the hand holding me was so weak that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't arouse a little enthusiasm from him.
I stopped my movements and looked at him affectionately, and he smiled helplessly, "I probably ...... It's completely wasted, and I can't get up in this life. Shu Hua, don't be like this, I don't want to delay you. ”
I shook my head and I said, "No." You are not a man who succumbs to fate, and I am not a woman with no eyes. We will all be okay and will be better. ”
He looked at me and put the hair on my forehead that covered my eyes behind my ears, and he said, "It's hard for you to believe in me so much at this time." ”
I started to help him organize his things little by little, he didn't bring much stuff, he didn't wear any of his previous business clothes, only a few sets of casual clothes and some toiletries, and he didn't even bring out his favorite perfume and skin care products. There was a hemp cloth bag at the door, and when I opened it, there were large stacks of books inside, and I took them out one by one and put them on the humble table.
He lay on the bed, silently watching me do all this, I accidentally kicked the corner of the table and screamed in pain, he rushed over nervously, and helped me rub the sore place with great concern. I hugged his head, and at that moment, I didn't know why I wanted to cry.
I've never been so sad when I've suffered such misfortune myself. But seeing him like this, I feel very distressed. I don't think he's as good as me, because he's prouder than me. A person who is too proud may have a hard time getting up once he falls, because his self-esteem is too strong, and he would rather fall to the ground and suffer silently than stumble and be criticized.
He also hugged me, very tight, with his face against my stomach. I reached out to touch his face, but I felt wet tears. I was stunned, he grabbed my hand, and he said, "Shu painting, I'...... My promise to you may not be kept. ”
I choked up, and it was very uncomfortable, because his words made me feel even more painful. I said, "Where do I want you to make a promise, as long as you can stand up and keep going, that's the best promise." ”
He suddenly let go of me again, and continued to lie on the bed, his hands and feet spread out, forming a "big" shape. He said: "Ten years ago, I was 20 years old, and I was so poor, and I lived in a rental house like this, and I had to live a mixed life. At that time, I had a group of brothers, Dongge, Huang Hui, and Preserved Eggs, and we worshiped Guan Gong and ate and drank together. Although we were poor at that time, we were very happy at that time. People say that ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river. Hehe, ten years later, I am poor again, and I am still in debt, and my brothers are turning against each other, and I am left alone, hehe, I am left alone......"
I sighed softly, walked over with red eyes, hugged his head, let him snuggle in my arms, and I said, "You won't be left alone." Even at the end of the world, you and me, I will always be there. ”
He put his arms around my waist and buried his head deep in my arms, and he said, "It's only been a month, but it's only a month." Fate was indeed cruel and took everything away from me in an instant. My brother is gone, the company is gone, everything I worked so hard for is gone......"
The house he rented was on the outskirts of the city, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks was so loud that it drowned out his voice. I lowered my head as hard as I could, listening to his deepest inner vulnerability, lest I miss a word.
We are all a group of people who are not favored by fate, fate always gives us something and then suddenly takes it away fiercely, there is no room for negotiation. He added: "I dreamed of Huang Hui last night, he was standing on the roof of the hotel, looking at me with a sad face, and he kept repeating the sentence, it's over, it's over...... When I woke up, I found that I was still in my uncle's shop. ”
I said, "Mr. Huang has been defeated, you can't be defeated." You stand up, I think he'll be glad to see it in the Spirit of Heaven. ”
He sat up suddenly, and he said, "I never believed that he would kill himself, he was not that fragile, we were all people who licked blood on the blade, and it was not so easy to die." It's not that simple, absolutely, not that simple......"
He seemed to think of something, and suddenly the whole person became strong again, and I said, "Did you think of something?"
He groaned for a while, then fell down in despair, and said very weakly, "What can I do, I have such a virtue now, what the can I do......
I massaged his temples and I said, "There will be a way and a way out, as long as the heart does not die." ”
He said helplessly, "What can be done?" ”
I said, "You go to the shower first, take a shower and change into clean clothes, I'll help you shave your hair and beard, and then we'll talk about life again." ”
He shook his head, and he said, "I'm not in the mood to do it." ”
I said, "You did it, I'll tell you a story." ”
He looked at me with tears and laughter, and he said, "What's the story?"
I said, "The story you've always wanted to know." ”
He looked at me and he said, "Still selling Guanzi ......"
I pushed him into the bathroom, remembering the large bathroom in his old villa, and looking at the current situation. Indeed, it is not a world difference that ordinary people can bear. It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
He looked at the worn-out shower and the somewhat mottled washbasin, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to wash it." ”
I shook my head, and I said, "Wash, take a cold shower, and when you're done, your mind will be much calmer." ”
I started to help him unbuckle his belt, and he stopped me, and he said, "I'll do it myself, I'll smoke a cigarette first, go up and down C, okay?"
I knew it was going to take time for him to get used to it, and I said, "Well, I'll wait for you outside while I continue to clean up the house." ”
It took me half an hour before I heard the sound of rushing water inside. I don't know why, even something as small as his willingness to take a bath can make my heart breathe a sigh of relief. I took out his clean clothes and bath towel, and found that none of the designer shirts he used to wear had been brought out, and the clothes he had brought were some home-style clothes that looked half-new.
In fact, he is already planning to leave behind that prosperous past and start anew, but he just needs time to settle himself.
I heard the sound of the water stop, knocked on the door, handed him a bath towel, and he walked out wrapped in it, and exclaimed, "It's cold." ”
I said, "Do you feel like your head is a lot clearer?"
He nodded, his hair was dripping with water, I sat him down, took a dry towel and wiped it for him, then wiped off the water stains on his upper body, handed him the clothes and said, "Put them on." ”
He smiled at me and said, "You're really good at taking care of people. ”
I said, "Put it on, sit down, and I'll cut your hair." ”
He nodded, quickly put on his clothes, the temperature was indeed low, and he couldn't help but sneeze. There was no cloth to shave his head, so I cut a hole in the large oiled paper, put it around his neck, and said, "Let's go down, that's all." ”
He was obedient like a child, and probably the quiet aura of my body infected him. I started to trim his long hair little by little, and when I was done, I handed him a mirror and I said, "Let's see." ”
After reading it, he asked me in surprise, "Have you ever learned how to barge?"
I said, "When I was in college, I worked part-time as a shampoo in the summer, and I knew a little bit about it. ”
I cleaned the hair from the place, and took out his razor, and I said, "Shall I come or will you come yourself?"
He said, "I'll do it myself." ”
Ten minutes later, he finally became the refreshing him, the only thing that did not change was the confusion and decadence in his eyes. He collapsed on the bed again and asked me, "Can I tell a story now?"
I nodded, lay down next to him, and looked at the ceiling with my eyes on the front, and I said, "Then listen carefully." ”
He listened quietly, and when I talked about the past of Li Jinnian and me, and that night, he jumped up, and he looked at me in disbelief, his eyes were full of shock, but he didn't say a word.
I didn't hide it at all, and I didn't cry, as if I was telling someone else's story. When I finished speaking, he was so shocked that he didn't move, and I said lightly: "You see, everyone will have big or small disasters, everyone's life will be overturned and rebuilt, and everyone will have their own setbacks and sufferings to experience. I survived such a coward, because there was no time to grieve, and life still had to go on. What about you? Do you have the time and the right to dwell on the past?"
He looked at me as if he had only known me for the first time today. He said, "Why do you want to tell me everything, why do you choose to believe me?"
I said, "Because I'm afraid that if I don't say it, you'll never get up again." There are many people in the world who are worse than you, but as long as you live, there is hope. Don't give up, don't compromise, because there's still a long way to go. ”
He sat up and looked at me in a daze, and I looked at him with a smile, not resisting his gaze or pandering, just quietly in front of him, doing my best to give him light and heat, not sensational or pretentious, everything was a confession from the heart.
He suddenly said, "I just realized that you are much stronger than me, and you are stronger than many people. ”
I said, "No, weeds are very resilient, because no one but herself feels sorry for her." ”
He smiled and said, "I finally know what attracts me most about you." ”
I said, "Then you also stand up and continue to attract me." I like the invincible Yan Bin. ”
He took me in his arms and said, "What if I'm like this for the rest of my life?" ”
I said, "If you can be content with being plain, I'll like it more." ”
He suddenly laughed, and he said, "You are not stupid at all, and I will not call you a stupid woman in the future." ”
I said, "No, I'm completely stupid. But life will teach you a cruel lesson and make you understand that there is no way out if you are stupid. So, don't be stupid, we don't have much time left. Hurry up, stand up, okay?"
