Chapter 11: Pisces

No matter how boring life is, or it keeps moving forward second by second, thankfully you, me, or she didn't stop because of what we encountered, thank God!

Zhou Luoxiu was brushing the plate he had just used in the back kitchen, and he didn't know who said that the people in labor were the most beautiful, which was true. Sitting on the bench around the scarf to wipe the plate Xiu'er is very simple, although Xiu'er is not the kind of person who can be shocked at a glance, but Xiu'er is definitely the kind of small jasper that is essential at home, just like a jar of old wine, just tasted it and felt very spicy, but then it will have a continuous charm and endless aftertaste.

And our Wu Fan students know this very well, because they have all enjoyed poverty and know how to be grateful.

Zhou Luoxiu, who was focused on the plate, didn't expect a human head on his face to suddenly burst out, and the frightened poor Xiu'er directly let go of the plate in his hand, fortunately, Wu Fan was agile and caught the plate in time, otherwise the broken plate might not be deducted from whose salary.

"Wu Fan! Can you be honest and scare me to death! ”

Seeing Zhou Luoxiu's coquettish face, Wu Fan said with some embarrassment: "I want to make a little joke with you, how do I know that you are so cowardly, I wouldn't have teased you if I knew it."

"Hmph, there's no one doing it all day! Tell me what happened that night, and you dare to tell anyone about it! Be careful not to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! ”

Wu Fan looked at Xiu'er meaningfully and said, "You really can't marry a daughter-in-law?" That's not going to work, by the way, what happened that night? I can't remember. ”

Zhou Luoxiu'er, who was ashamed of Wu Fan's few words, blushed like a mountain red in April: "Little improper!" Ignore you. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, Wu Fan hurriedly stopped Xiu'er and said: "Hey, why are you angry again, a bad psychological state is more expensive than staying up late to consume your woman's youth, so in order to stay young forever, I think you should be happy every day, right, let's get down to business, do you want to give yourself a holiday on Qingming Day?" ”

"Holiday? What do you mean? ”

"Every year during Qingming, I will go to a place to burn some paper money for them, I am poor above, and I can't let them suffer below, so I want you to go with me." Although Wu Fan was smiling when she said this, somehow, she just looked distressed.

The six curves are dry and green trees, and the willows are light in the wind, showing all the golden wisps. Who moved the zither to the jade pillar? The petrel flew away.

The eyes are full of gossamer and flocculent, when the red apricot opens, it rains in a flash. Sleep and be silent, frightened and have nowhere to find your dreams?

It's another year of Qingming rain, whose white bones harm the new look. Every year during the Qingming Festival, Wu Fan will come to Qingchuan Cemetery, of course, not in the cemetery, but care about a small hill behind the cemetery, the mountain is not high, there is a grave is very desolate, there is a small tomb bag with a wordless tablet, that is Wu Fan set up for his parents.

Wu Fan simply asked the proprietress for a leave, and then hired another for Xiu'er, who was as smart as the proprietress and naturally gave Xiu'er a leave, not to mention that every family cried during the Qingming Festival, although the restaurant still had to open, it would definitely not have so many diners.

Wu Fan and Xiu'er didn't say a word, and quietly lit all the paper money they brought, and a gust of wind blew away the ashes.

"Actually, this is not their grave, there was a fire that year and they were all taken away, and when the firefighters went, there was nothing left but ashes, and I had no way to go, so I grabbed a handful of ashes and found a bottle to put it in. Later, I asked for food outside for a year, but fortunately my master took me in, so I found this place and set up a grave for them. At that time, I just thought that if I stepped on shit one day and could return to my hometown, I couldn't even find an ancestral grave. ”

Child, from the first time I saw this ragged dress in front of the restaurant, for some reason, her heart couldn't help but tremble, although he had experienced so much, he only had a smile on his face, and he smiled so brightly, I don't know if you are really heartless or really sky-high.

"I'll take you to a place, let's rest for a while after walking so far."

"Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you go."

There are many white bones hidden under the loess, and a green meadow is followed at the end of the loess. There is a small Taoist temple not far from the tombstone of Wu Fan's parents, and this small Taoist temple in the mountain behind Qingshan Cemetery stands out from the crowd. In front of the Taoist temple, there is a piece of turquoise, two big stone lions stand majestically in front of the door, and there is a horizontal plaque hanging on the door with three big characters written on it: Pisces View. The size of the Pisces Temple is very small, and it is not the kind of Taoist temple that tourists can browse, it belongs to those who sincerely believe in it, or it belongs to the people who are destined for it.

Wu Fan and Xiu'er walked into the Pisces View, where there was a huge plane tree in the middle of the Pisces View, with a smooth trunk and large round leaves, which showed that the tree was well maintained and cared for. There are rows on the left and right sides, the gate is facing a jade and hall, and the jade and the hall is in the middle of the worship of the Taishang Sanqing. Wu Fan and Xiu'er lit three sticks of incense for Sanqing, and then Wu Fan knelt on the percussion mat and stood in a figure of eight, and his knees and hands hit the ground at the same time and knocked up three times. Xiu'er didn't know what it meant, but she did it like a cat.

Wu Fan is convinced of these various sects, he does not believe in what Christianity, Buddha Guanyin can bring him any good luck, those things that we can't see don't mean that they don't exist, they can stand in this world for thousands of years, and countless believers mean that they are worthy of being believed. Even if you don't believe in these, then worshipping the temple and burning incense, entering the temple and prostrating is the least respect for them, you can not believe it, but you have to learn to respect.

After the two of them finished worshipping Sanqing, a female Taoist priest came out from behind the side screen, holding a silver-white whisk in her hand, and her crane hair and childish face made people feel very kind and kind. The female Taoist priest walked up to Wu Fan and the others and said, "Master Wu, have come to worship your parents again?" I haven't seen Master Wu for a year, and it seems that he has grown up a lot. ”

Wu Fan made a Buddha gesture with one hand, bowed his head and whispered: "Daoist, you are joking, I haven't seen you for a year, and I haven't seen you in the same way as in previous years, and I haven't seen old age at all." Have you ever been to the Temple of Mercy and Grace recently? I wonder how the Master of Manifestation is doing lately? ”

"Every year at the Lotus Festival, I go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace for a day, and Master Xianfa is still the same and cynical. Of course, he still thinks that you have Huigen Yufu, so it is better to go to him and be a monk, of course, I still think you should be a Taoist, after all, my Taoist family has a fire dwelling Taoist, you can get married and have children, and you can also live in the moment. As he spoke, he glanced at Xiu'er beside Wu Fan and smiled shallowly.

"The Taoist is kind-hearted, Buddhism is the same heart, in fact, there is no difference for me, I also respect the two teachings, but now it is not convenient to be a Taoist priest or monk, in the future, if I feel that the opportunity is right, I will come to worship the Taoist as a teacher."

After that, Wu Fan briefly introduced this female Taoist to Xiu'er, the female Taoist is called Stardust, and she is the master of Pisces Vision. It doesn't matter if it's the master or not, anyway, there are only two people in this Taoist temple, one is a female Taoist priest Xingchen, and the other is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, this child's name is Qingsu, and he is half an apprentice of Xingchen Dao Master. At a young age, he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is wearing a set of silver-white clothes that he does Tai Chi by the river, so he looks like a fairy family. Qingsu followed the gray-robed Stardust Master and had the feeling of a Guanyin, a child. However, although this child is so vivid, he does not act like a little Taoist child.

The Stardust Daoist led Wu Fan and Zhou Luoxiu to the Xingfang Zhai Hall, and the Stardust Daoist asked the two to sit at a stone table: "I'll go and prepare some refreshments for the two of you, and the two of you will wait for a while." ”

"You're sorry."

The Nebula Daoist turned to leave, and Zhou Luoxiu asked a little shyly, "Wu Fan, are we doing this well?" Come to someone's house empty-handed to eat? ”

Wu Fan took out an ancient spring in his hand and played with it constantly, bounced it up from time to time and then caught it with his hand, and said: "It's okay, Master Stardust is good, every time I come, she will bring out a lot of delicious food to entertain me, although every time it is the guy from Qingsu who brings things up." Wu Fan's face was a little helpless somehow, and then he quickly returned to his usual smile and said: "But Master Stardust's tea is good tea, there is a small tea field behind Pisces Temple, and Stardust Daoist and Qingsu grow and harvest themselves." Although the topography of our Shenyang is not very suitable for growing tea, but the Xingchen Dao is very good for their fried tea, although it is just ordinary wild tea, but the taste is excellent, and now it is a rare tea before the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xiu'er lowered her little head a little sadly and pouted, "They are not used to those things." ”

Wu Fan conjured another Gu Quan from his hand like a trick, took out a slender red rope from his trouser pocket and strung Gu Quan, gently put it on Xiu'er's neck and said with a smile: "They will get used to it in the future, and so will you." ”

Unfortunately, the two of them were interrupted by a rapid cough.
