Chapter 13: I'm Sorry, I'm a Bad Person
"Grandma Yao, your skills are awesome, if you participate in the competition, you will definitely win the first place!"
Summer and Su Mo'er held a picture scroll woven of silk in their hands, and praised it while watching. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the entry prepared by Grandma Yao for the finals, called Splendid Mountains and Rivers, which depicts many beautiful mountains and rivers and spectacular scenes in China, among which the most brilliant is the vigorous and delicate dragon. It vividly surrounds the mountains and rivers of the land of China, the dragon's head hangs low, the eyes are dewed, it means the Great Wall, in order to show its achievements in guarding China for generations.
It took a month to make the artwork, and there were only 2 days left before the competition. In order to make this work, Grandma Yao was often so busy that she forgot to eat and drink, and even her eyes suffered from floaters, and because of her eyesight, her calloused hands were pierced with needles one after another. But when she turned her head to look at her two sons on the bed, she gritted her teeth and continued. Summer and Su Mo'er often persuade the elderly to pay attention to rest, but Grandma Yao, who has made up her mind, is very persistent. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them helped the old man take care of her two sons in the summer, I'm afraid that Grandma Yao would have run out of oil and couldn't afford to get sick.
Of course, in addition to this work, Grandma Yao also made a lot of exquisite paper-cut artwork and woven products made of bamboo. Although the purpose of their trip was to reward the art competition, Grandma Yao said that she did not force it, and there were many, many people who were stronger than her. If you can't win the award, you can make some money by selling some handicrafts to relieve your own pressure.
Summer listened to it and sighed, this is maternal love, for her children, you can give everything, even if it is your own life. All she hopes is that her children can live a better life, and in her 100 years, she will be able to leave enough savings for her two sons to die peacefully. For this reason, no matter how hard and tired she is, she gritted her teeth and insisted, and never compromised with fate.
In order to meet the requirements of the elderly, she was busy dealing with various things in the summer, leaving Mo'er, the girl, to take care of Grandma Yao's life.
He knew that there was an entry fee to participate in the competition, and if he wanted to sell his handicrafts at the venue, he had to have enough booths, which was another unfilial expense. Grandma Yao may not be clear about these problems, and maybe the old people think that this is just like rushing to the market in their village, finding a place to spread out a layer of newspapers, and putting goods on the goods can be sold.
But Summer had to think about it, so he was left alone to deal with these things.
Because of the continuous disasters in various places in recent years, he will donate one or two thousand every time, and with the monthly donation project that has been opened, he can only go in and out every month. If it weren't for the fact that he was still young, had the strength to do a good job, and had done a lot of coolies, he would have starved to death for the so-called ideal.
When he was the most miserable, he didn't ask for help, but this time he had to ask for someone for Grandma Yao. It's just that friends who usually seem to be close to each other will refuse for various reasons after hearing him open his mouth to borrow money.
This is the reality of Hongguoguo, but he doesn't blame others, because no one's life is easy, no one is obliged to help him, only himself can help him.
For this reason, he hurriedly found several part-time jobs, busy delivering food during the day, helping the hotel wash dishes and dishes when he was free, and going to a nearby construction site at night to carry cement and transport sand to prepare for the work of the next morning at the construction site. Every day he was busy until late at night to go home, and only in the dim light at one o'clock in the morning did he have time to think about the problem, and when he got home, he plunged into the quilt and fell asleep.
Such days seem to make him go back to the past, get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, go to the breakfast shop at 5:30 to help, and after 10 o'clock, walk for half an hour to go to the next place of work as a game booster, and only have 4 hours to rest every day.
It's just that he has a big problem, that is, he has a habit of cleanliness in his heart, and he can't do anything wrong, otherwise he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
The environment of the breakfast shop is very poor, the store is full of cockroaches, and you can see a lot of cockroaches from the basin soaked in rice noodles, fungus, and vegetables every day. If the occasional customer eats the bug, then the boss pushes the summer out and puts him in charge of asking for the money, and if it doesn't arrive, it will be deducted from his salary.
These are just small things, like what napkins are actually cheap toilet paper bought, and everything with a kitchen knife becomes two rolls of napkins. Flavored vinegar is composed of a little vinegar and half a bottle of tap water, so many people will think that the vinegar in the store has no taste. Disposable chopsticks refer to the fact that they are actually used for the first time today, and when they are used up, they will be rinsed with tap water when the stall is closed. The porridge is served overnight, and a little new rice is added the next day to taste, and more tap water is added to mask the rancid taste of the overnight rice.
So he left the breakfast shop.
However, the work of boosting is not necessarily clean.
In order to save money, the studio steals electricity, and the customer's order is always not completed on time, making all kinds of excuses, and then asking the customer to increase the price, saying that it is better to practice more time, and then directly submit the finished product.
As for the summer, as an undercover agent who broke into the enemy, he often used the identity of a substitute to inform customers that it was better to practice it himself. As a result, the studio's business inexplicably got worse and worse, and then the summer, who had not been paid, left here under the pretext that he couldn't endure hardship.
……
The next day, Summer, who was covered in mud, held the sweat-soaked banknotes in his palms and grinned, but unexpectedly accidentally pulled the chapped wound on his lips and hurt his cold air.
In the hot summer, he ran non-stop every day to make money, and he didn't dare to spend more money, for fear that he would not have enough money when he competed. I just eat two steamed buns in the morning, skip lunch at noon, and wait until the evening to run to the construction site to mix up another dinner. If you are thirsty, find a place with a running water pipe to drink water to quench your thirst, and if not, hold on.
It's just that there is more than one thing that makes him happy today, and when he returned to the yellow paper shop in the evening, Zhao Lao handed him a thick envelope and said with a sigh.
"Here's your salary for the month. I said you kid, as for being so desperate, I feel distressed when I see a ghost, and I rest for less than 5 hours a day, so you are not afraid that if you don't hold it up and can't afford to get sick, what should Mo'er's girl do? If you don't think about yourself, you should think about that girl. ”
Summer smirked: "It's okay, I'm still young, I can hold it." For the sake of her two sons, Grandma Yao used her 90-year-old body to support the burden of a family, and I am nothing compared to the elderly. ”
Zhao Lao said with emotion: "Your master didn't misread you, no wonder he often told me that your fate is bumpy, you are in despair, but your heart is bright." After going through hardships, he sticks to his heart and never forgets his original intention. Your kid is worthy of being a disciple of the Impermanence Realm, and now that the power of merit in your body has gradually become apparent, you will soon be able to complete the first layer of cultivation of the Yin Yang White Bone Concept, and then you can choose to help a ghost creature again to directly obtain a certain ability from it. ”
Summer couldn't believe it: "Old Zhao, are you saying that I can directly get the power of the ghosts?" Then why did the old ghost Tang Feng and the scissors seniors have to possess me in order for me to gain their power. ”
Zhao Lao explained: "Do you think that the power of ghosts is so good, as the dark side of the world, they are themselves rejected by the Heavenly Dao. If they give you power directly, there are only two possibilities. First, you are bewitched by them, possessed by them. Second, you make a deal with them, sell your life and even your soul, and after death, you can only go to the eighteen layers of hell, and the most likely thing is to be devoured by them to increase your own strength. ”
"It's different when you cultivate the Yin Yang White Bone Concept, it not only strengthens your flesh and blood, but also enhances your soul power, and the most important thing is that it can help you manifest the power of merit that you can't see or touch. The reason why the great power of Buddhism has the golden light of merit in the back of the head is because of the particularity of the Buddhist exercises, which can condense the power of merit. Although the Yin and Yang White Bone Concept is not as pure for merit as Buddhism, it is good that it can strengthen you comprehensively and make you have no shortcomings. Therefore, you can use the power of merit to trade with ghosts in order to gain their abilities without being punished by the Heavenly Dao. ”
Summer suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the general concept of the concept of yin and yang and white bones, no wonder the master said to me, 'This body must have the beauty of blood and masculinity, and if the blood is vigorous, a hundred ghosts will not invade, and the soul must have the forest of the nine shades of the underworld, and all things will surrender when the soul comes out.' One thought gives birth to ten thousand laws, and the thought of the world is moving; The body is bright, and the merit is added; Practice the original mind and see the self; If you don't have evil thoughts, and your body is like glass, then all laws will not invade. ’”
Zhao Lao looked teachable and said: "Yes, this is the characteristic of the Yin Yang White Bone View. When the time comes, when you cultivate to a great point, not only will your body be strong and your soul will be strong, but you will also be surrounded by the light of merit, just like a bodhisattva walking in the world. ”
Summer looked scared: "Won't someone be arrested and sliced and studied, how can anyone be covered in gold, and he doesn't look like a serious person." ”
Zhao Lao's brain collapsed: "Ignorant and ignorant, mortals don't know the eyes of heaven, how can they see the light of merit with the flesh and mortals." You should think that they are all the reincarnations of Daluo immortals. ”
Summer said aggrievedly: "It's not what you always say, the light of merit is all over your body." ”
Zhao Lao had another brain meltdown: "You unfilial grandson, you dare to talk back, look at my magic powers." ”
Summer hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't don't, Zhao Lao, boy, I was wrong, the great sage is about to receive supernatural powers, little demon, my body is really weak, and I can't withstand the ravages and destruction of your old man." ”
What and what, still ravaged and destroyed, Xia is a dignified man, and he has no shame in saying such insulting words.
Zhao Lao waved his hand, stopped laughing, stared at Xia Xia seriously, and said, "You kid, if there is anything in the future, just talk to me and your master, don't do the same as this time, and fight everything by yourself." It's just a matter of money, can it still stump your master? ”
Xia hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Old Zhao, I know it's wrong, as soon as I have something in the future, I will definitely inform you of the second elder, who will make you two my backers." ”
Zhao Lao scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't be upright day by day, hippie smiling all day long." This time, if it weren't for your master saying that he wanted to see what you would do for others, he would have tested your determination. My old man will definitely give you your salary early on, and I will never let you suffer at all, whoever let us in the Impermanence Realm will be the two of you, at most plus an old ghost like me, any person is extremely precious to the sect. ”
Summer complained: "It turned out that it was the master and his old man who made it bad, and I really doubt that I am his apprentice." He left me on the first day of his official apprenticeship, and he was embarrassed to say that he would test me. In case I am in a hurry, I will quit the sect and let him run back and forth for the affairs of the sect alone, to see if his old bones can hold up! ”
Zhao Lao is a character, how can he not see that summer is just a joke. He shook his head: "Okay, don't blame your master. After all, the first thing in this sect is to focus on character and virtue, if there is a loss in virtue, even if you are a genius, your master will abolish your cultivation and drive you out of the sect. You've done a good job this time, proving that you're a good person. "Critical hits for 10,000 damage.
Summer suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar, the good guy card, and the good guy card...... Why, why do you all have to hurt me with a good person card, what the hell did I do wrong, you want to do this to me. Su Mo'er's girl is like this, even Zhao Lao is as rough as you.
Summer shouted angrily in his heart: I'm a bad guy, I'm a bad guy, I'm a bad guy! Say the important thing three times.
