Chapter Forty-Nine: So Before
Throw away the treasure of the Xinghua Ancestor, and live a smooth life, anyway, if you want to raise fruits, you can't go up, Zhong Zhen is no longer obsessed, and concentrates on getting all the seven spirits.
Now that the bamboo that has been painted for a month has been refined into joy, she turns her attention to the remaining sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire.
Comprehending these spirits is sometimes just a matter of a moment, and sometimes it cannot be achieved with even hard work.
Meditating and meditating, recalling the days with her grandmother in Yunzhi County, every bit of it made her unforgettable. Especially after cultivating, my memory is better than usual, and many forgotten fragments actually come to my mind again when I meditate.
Especially those before the age of four or five, I actually remembered a lot......
The little baby lies alone in bed, and the servant woman who takes care of the baby is not attentive and often forgets to feed her. The infant was hungry and inevitably cried incessantly, and the servant woman not only scolded but also beat her, and her evil deeds were very unbearable.
Her mother may not come to see her for ten days and half a month, and every time she comes, she is full of sadness, crying bitterly from time to time, and completely falling into her own grief. She would not talk to her daughter, nor would she see the baby bruised and purple by the evil servant.
The three-year-old child can barely hear a few words, but no one speaks to her, she never speaks, she has never even learned to walk, and she will fall down after a few steps.
The evil servant is so unbearable that he doesn't know why he hates babies so much, but for the sake of money, he abuses the child while flattering his master. It's a pity that the mother didn't know the habits of evil servants at all, and she gave birth to a stupid daughter in the sky, took her with her to hinder her cultivation, and sent her three-year-old daughter Zhong Zhen to her grandmother.
Grandma is Zhong Zhen's maternal grandmother and mother's mother. In the area of Yunzhi County, small families who are not so particular are called grandmothers if they are more affectionate, and grandmothers who are more estranged.
The daughter who went out to practice suddenly returned home, but Grandma didn't recognize her anymore. At that time, Grandma was already a little crazy and didn't know people, so she relied on the neighbors who had lived nearby for several lifetimes to give her a meal.
Seeing that the old house was really unlivable, the mother bought it at a cheap price to a family next door, and bought a new quiet courtyard to settle her daughter and the stupid old lady. But she herself drifted away and was never seen again.
I really don't know if it's because I'm absent-minded, or if I'm born without vision. The mother, who didn't know anyone, gave the servant woman who was flattering on the surface and vicious behind her a lot of silver taels, and asked her to buy a few subordinates and take care of her granddaughter.
Although Zhong Zhen was meditating, tears rolled down her face like beads of broken threads.
The wicked servant did not obey the command, but fortunately did not harm anyone, but took away all the money, and not a single copper bean was left, and the people disappeared.
Zhong Zhen, who was only more than three years old, and the obsessive grandmother were left behind, and the two were almost starved to death. Fortunately, at the last moment, Grandma recovered her senses, dragged the furniture in her new home to the pawnshop, exchanged some silver dollars and silver beans, and bought food.
is also fortunate that the house deed is written in the name of the grandmother, otherwise the evil servant may even sell the house and drive the granddaughter to the street.
The family didn't have any extra money, so Grandma looked for a dental shop, sold it at a low price, and went to a slightly cheaper area again to buy a small old courtyard.
Grandma is sometimes sober, sometimes confused, she doesn't even remember how to feed the child, and she doesn't know how to cook, but she talks a lot, and often nagged Zhong Zhen.
“…… It is true that the saying is born from the heart, but there is also a saying that the human heart is separated from the belly, and no one knows what others think in their hearts. You look at Aunt Zhang diagonally across the door, smiling all day long, but the flour used in her noodle restaurant is all old goods, but there is a lot of whitening powder and umami powder added to it. ”
Grandma paused, "Also, the butcher at the end of the street has a fierce face, but the meat is very fresh, and there is never a shortage of catties or two, but if there is a little bit of freshness, the price will be reduced." ”
The young Zhong Zhen sat on the pony, watching Grandma use the black burning stick to bucket the firewood in the stove, as if she didn't understand.
So bumpy, toddlers learn to speak, learn to walk, learn words, somehow, but love to paint and sculp.
She finally grew up, perhaps to make up for the fact that no one spoke to her when she was a child. A mouth is extremely capable of speaking, and none of the children in the neighborhood are its opponents. And I don't like to stay at home and like to walk around.
Then I made friends with some characters who taught me and learned some kung fu. If it weren't for Grandma teaching her how to behave with her ears, I'm afraid she would become a local tyrant.
What is good and evil? Grandma always has some unexpected explanations, once said: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself, you and the other party will turn around, and then think about it and you will know how to act." However, there are always some people in this world who have bad thoughts in their hearts, but they have to guard against them, and they have to use other methods to deal with them. ”
Grandma should have read a lot of books in the past, wrote well, and told good truths, although these truths are often contradictory in Zhong Zhen's opinion.
Both grandparents and granddaughters like to go shopping, like people who seem to come and go, and secretly talk about the origin of people behind their backs. After the discussion, Grandma turned her head to Zhong Zhen and said: Behind her back, people are not gentlemen.
Then it's good not to be a gentleman, Zhong Zhen understands it this way.
There are many such things, such as Grandma also said: Rumors and rumors are all rumors, and they should not be true. Then at a different time, she would say that the rumors exist because there is some truth behind them.
So should Transsion believe it or not?
So Grandma said that different people and things should be understood with different principles.
This sentence seems to be even more difficult to understand.
The past is vivid......
Without Grandma, she doesn't know what she will become, maybe she will be abused and die by evil servants, or maybe her mother will one day look at her more, and then practice under her mother's expectations.
Why is my mother sad, when she just learned to meditate at the Tomb Gate, Zhong Zhen had already faintly remembered that it was because her father was gone. Is the man dead? Is it to leave your mother? She really didn't understand, and she didn't want to pursue the answer at all.
If you give birth to children but do not fulfill your responsibilities as a mother, if you are sad in your heart or indulge in cultivation, why give birth to another child, it is better to go down with a bowl of abortion pills and kill it. Why bother to throw the child into the hands of others and leave him to fend for himself.
This can't make Zhong Zhen relieved. So she didn't even think about looking for her mother, whether she was dead or alive had nothing to do with her.
Grandma's body is getting weaker and weaker, and she always holds the black burning stick in her hand, and she can't leave it. It seems that since Zhong Zhen remembers, the stick has always been by her side.
In the last half year, there was always a little half of the time, and Grandma seemed to return to her old stupidity. Maybe she was really reluctant to give up her little granddaughter, so she held on for a few months, telling her how to live alone in the future, and finally passed away helplessly.
