Chapter 9 Let my soul wander too
As an adult, especially after the age of twenty-five, Xiao An gradually noticed that his parents had changed a lot. used to be a loving father and strict mother, when I was a child, my father was simply doting on Xiao An, and of course my mother loved her, but her sternness in the prime of life was naturally much more scary than her father's softness. Therefore, every time his father made a mistake, Xiao An cried and stood in front of his father to beg his mother for forgiveness.
But I don't know why, the older Xiao An gets, the more she finds that her mother's temper is becoming softer and softer, and even many times she has no temper. According to Zang Qing himself, it is probably because he is old and his firepower is weak, even if he has any dissatisfaction, he does not have so much energy to vent.
But if that's the case, so should my father! And, even without those violence, aren't many middle-aged women, especially those who have reached menopause, more likely to be upset and angry with their families? But Xiao An has hardly seen his mother like this, and he has tried worriedly: When will your "more" come? When are you coming? Don't keep us waiting!
As a result, Zang Qing laughed after hearing this: Silly girl, were you really beaten stupid by your mother, what if I didn't have that "more"? Even if I came in advance, hehe, you and your dad should breathe a sigh of relief first!
Hehe, every time Xiao An thinks of her stupidity, she will feel funny, how many years has her mother retired, and I haven't seen her menopause, maybe, she really advanced all those pains.
Xiao An is too, looking back on her childhood, and even in the years of confusion and struggle in adulthood, she is the saddest one compared to her peers. But she has always kept in mind the words of her elders, youth is not a blessing. She also liked Lincoln's quote that I don't care what my grandfather did, I just want to know what my grandfather's grandson will do twenty years from now.
Therefore, looking at her meager achievements now, it is difficult to deny that she was humiliated and hard earned before, and now people who know her say that Xiao An is a lucky girl. She had suffered most of the hardships in her life when she was a teenager, and even if she had in the future, she should be able to bear it.
Hehe, it's hard to say. But no matter what, some things are better than nothing, even if there are ancestors to help you bypass the detour, some things are not flowing in person, those feelings and feelings cannot be bought with money.
It's like losing the sense of pain. And how can we be aware of the dangers that arise from this?
In that case, I am really lucky.
As his parents get older, Xiao An gradually feels that his father seems to be becoming more and more utilitarian, which is not surprising, after all, he is a man, he must always be ambitious, even if he is old, some things are difficult to see through.
Unlike a mother, even if she loved to beat Xiao An at every turn when she was young, she would never beat her daughter because of her homework. She didn't want her daughter to be amazing, she didn't want her to be a money-making machine. Her beating is just purely venting the unhappiness in her heart, and it has nothing to do with the stick education of those women who want their daughters to become phoenixes.
Father is different, although he can't speak, but in his sullen expression and casual words, he can also detect that he hopes that Xiao An can get ahead.
But Xiao An is most annoyed by this, to be honest, if it weren't for the constant trampling on her dignity as a child, there would still be provocations from Daisy and others even until adulthood. She really wants to learn from others to go to Zhongnan Mountain for asceticism. But she also knew that those men and women in Zhongnan Mountain might seem chic and elegant to outsiders, and the actual secluded life was beyond imagination.
Let alone. Although the layman Xiao An is envious and yearning for the moment, he still has concerns. If you don't have a family now, but if you have a family in the future, it will not only be your own parents, but also the other party's parents, even siblings and more family members. Of course, there may be a baby of two in the end.
Hehe, so this dream of seclusion really has to be arranged after the mistake. I remember reading an article in a magazine when I was a child, and I liked it very much, about a forty-year-old woman who went to wander, and she was only in elementary school at that time. If I reach the age of forty, can I have that kind of opinion?
Whether he can wander, whether he can balance his family, career, and self-spiritual satisfaction is not yet known, because Xiao An has not yet reached that age. But no matter what, it's really cool to be able to be in charge of your own business, especially after taking care of the garment factory, even Xiao An's ambition that has never been an official addict has been ignited, and he is more and more obsessed with the development of his career.
In fact, there are some things that you will know when you really put yourself into it, and the ultimate goal of hard work is not to let others see how high you can climb, but how much you can improve yourself, and what kind of kingdom you can build with your own hands.
Maybe wandering is a prerequisite that requires a lot of time, money, physical strength and courage, although Xiao An has gone to many places by mistake, but she can't agree that those things can also be called wandering. However, she believes that a wise woman can balance all this, and she can calmly withdraw from family and work and do what she wants. Therefore, Xiao An can never forget Wang Qiuyang, then, since there is a precedent, I believe that through hard work, there is hope.
Moreover, recently she learned that idols also believe in Buddhism, and many things will be viewed positively, which brightens her life even more. She believes, knows, and does see that there is a lot of disharmony and unhappiness in this world. Therefore, it is also said that the light reflects the darkness, or the evil highlights the justice. However, even if there is no darkness and evil, there is still a need for light and justice to exist.
And what Xiao An wants to do is not to drive away the darkness and evil, let alone destroy them unless necessary, but to warm and influence them with light and justice.
Who doesn't have a problem?
In Xiao An's own life of more than 20 years, there has not been no hysteria, and there are many of them, and she has not cultivated to what she is now. When she can't help herself, if someone can guide her patiently, I believe that a lot of misunderstandings and misfortunes can be avoided. But the problem is that most people are still busy with their own ant life, how can they have time to take care of others, most of them take the pain and ugliness of others as fun, laugh four times, and then forget.
And most ants may never think that it is at this time that some humble beings develop a strong desire for revenge.
Oops, thank goodness I survived, it wasn't easy.
Xiao An sighed. It's not the life-and-death choices she faced many times back then, but when she was a child, or rather, before she was assigned to a garment factory. She has had many strong desires to commit suicide, even after learning that suicide will not only lead to liberation but even a great sin, her desire for liberation has never stopped.
Later, of course, it was a long time ago, and she had already let go of those attachments. I saw it on the blog, and it turned out that many people wanted to commit suicide because they were pestered. Therefore, at this time, Xiao An, in addition to being shocked, actually still has some gratitude: If I was also pestered at that time, who was so kind to let me go, or, who was so kind to protect me and capture that heart for me?
You know, at that time, Xiao An didn't have any willpower at all. Not to mention what is not firm.
The old man kindly persuaded Xiao An not to provoke those infant spirits, that was natural, and he would definitely not be troublesome. However, we will never let them continue to drift, and we must help them find a real home.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao An asked, "Uncle, since you said that those children are so powerful, why didn't you see the building?" ”
"Look at what you said, what do you want to do? You still don't think it's shabby? Why don't you want to think about it for so long. Why hasn't the landlord found the right tenant for you? ”
That's right, no wonder it's so desolate.
Xiao An remembered that there was a thick layer of dust on every floor when she came in, and she thought it was the lime of the building at first, but now she thinks that there should be a result of not cleaning.
"But I still don't understand." Xiao An has become more and more aware of the strange aura of this place, and since he came in, he has been thinking about it except for talking to the old man. At first, she thought that it was too quiet to make her thoughts fly, and even a little excited, it was rare to find such a good place without distraction. But now that I think about it. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
But what the old man said later made her heart feel a little more at ease:
Although there is more than one hermit spirit in this building, because the owners of the upper floors come to suppress the formation all the year round, there is no more chaos. And speaking of one of the owners, his family is in the vicinity of this building. I don't know if the children are "making too much trouble", or if the owner has the money to hire a skilled mage, in short, after that, according to the old man, although the children will make this their home, they have never made trouble again. It's just that the owner was too sad and couldn't live here anymore, so he immigrated to Nanyang in grief and has not been heard from since.
So that's the case, I really didn't expect that there would be such a strange thing right at home, although, at the moment, this is not a good thing.
But Xiao An has a hobby, that is, he likes to challenge and turn decay into magic. Yes, if the decay is turned into magic, if the bad is turned into good, then the good will not be more abundant? Isn't it more powerful?
There are some things that may not be realistic to think about now, just like the continuous reincarnation of human beings in the world. But who would dare to say that hell was not emptied on that day? There have been predecessors with such confidence for a long time, and Xiao An is not the first person. I don't know if it's because of this, there are some things that she can look at more seriously, although she is a very persistent person compared to many people.
A girlfriend once revealed to her that she had made an appointment with her boyfriend and would rather indulge in thousands of years and suffer a lot of pain than drink the water of forgetfulness made from her own tears.
How can this be forgotten? The relationship between the two is unbreakable, and this situation can be learned, so they are at the mercy of the gods and forget it? Love begins with Si, and grace is broken here, how to give it up.
In order to make Xiao An believe, his best friend even stretched out his arm, and there was indeed the legendary mole in his white arm. Xiao An immediately looked at himself, hehe, how can he be so coincidental, his whole body is not clean anywhere, but he didn't get the thrilling mole that showed a beautiful marriage.
Maybe that's why she's not obsessed with it? Xiao An didn't know. She just said that she respected her best friend's choice, but she also told her that if these are not feudal superstitions, then it is too hard to indulge in a thousand years in order to keep a love. If you are yourself, it seems that you are really not so determined.
Xiao An is also ashamed of the love he claims to be supreme all day long, how can he know if he is great or a deserter without anything?
However, these things should go home and think about it again, the old man is right, while it is not dark now, and he does not know much about those infant spirits, it is better to go back earlier, as long as he is still alive, there will be a chance to find the old man to understand in the future.
Thinking of the bowl of love soup that his mother stewed at home, Xiao An thanked the old man for his introduction to the building, and promised to bring back some soup later to honor him. The old man smiled embarrassedly and said goodbye to her. (To be continued.) )
