Chapter 012: Sitting on the Ground
The third watch is over, ask for recommendation votes and collection support......
――――――
"I'm not going to just talk about it......" Ma Liang grinned, feeling a little pain in his cheeks - although he hadn't been beaten since high school, this kind of conditioning still existed to this day.
"Liangzi, you can't do this business, when the time comes, it's hard to find a partner, you're young, you're still a college student, where can you do such a shameful thing." Li Mei persuaded softly. She knew her son's surname in her heart, and if she couldn't find a job, he would dare to set up a stall and be a god--this kid was thick-skinned.
Ma Liang pouted, his heart was three hundred and sixty lines, and he was the champion in his line, so he could make money anyway.
Of course, after thinking about it, if he really went to set up a stall to be a magic stick, Ma Liang was still reluctant to go.
The reason is very simple, since ancient times, whether it is a feng shui master or a master of divination, a Taoist priest who subdues demons and exorcises demons and exorcises evil spirits, which one has ever had real wealth, glory, fame and fortune?
Don't think that the masters of thaumaturgy in history have all seen through the red dust and don't care about money and wealth - in fact, they are forced to choose a low-key and ordinary secluded life. It is true that there are many strange people in history who have relied on their skills to be high-ranking officials, and even dominate the direction of the emperor's general court, so that they can be full of gold and jade, and live a rich life......
But who can be wise enough to start and finish well?
Orthodox sorcerers, who make a living from this karma, must be "one of the five evils and three defects" in numerology.
The five disadvantages are "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability", and the three shortcomings are "money, life, and power". Obviously, no one wants to encounter any of these five disadvantages and three shortcomings......
But you can not believe in such a thing as fate, because in fact there is no absolute fate.
But the way of heaven exists, and all spells are contrary to the nature of the way of heaven. If you can't treat money, fame and fortune as nothing, then it's best not to touch the bottom line of heaven......
The problem is that the bottom line is vague and no one can say.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there have always been many masters, masters, and masters who are willing to try the way of heaven with their own lives...... The bottom line. These principles, as well as Ma Liang's martial arts, were all taught to him by his grandfather when he was alive.
Ma Mingquan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Go out and find a job, the family doesn't expect you to have much success anyway...... If it really doesn't work, I'll ask someone to tell me that I can earn 1,800 yuan a month as a temporary worker in the power plant first, and then go home to study seriously in my spare time, don't leave my past homework behind, and prepare to try the civil service exam. ”
"Ahem." Ma Liang almost choked out the beer he had just drunk, and nodded hurriedly: "Well, I'll try to find a job first, and if it doesn't work, I'll take the civil service exam." ”
Having said that, Ma Liang understands in his heart that with his little cultural foundation and talent in learning, he will take the civil service examination? It's better to save it...... In addition, it is not good to go to the power plant as a temporary worker - good fellow, with the ability of my father, an ordinary worker, the job that can be assigned is nothing more than the tiring and dirty work of unloading coal at the power plant.
After a while, Ma Mingquan put down his father's shelf and said lightly: "Don't feel too much pressure in your heart, looking for a job is not a matter of one or two days." ”
"yes, I see." Ma Liang responded.
……
……
After sleeping until about five o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Liang woke up yawning, said hello to his mother, and then went out to the village shop to buy some burnt paper and a bottle of wine, and carried them to the ancestral grave in the hilly area east of the village.
Now that I've graduated from college, I always have to tell my grandfather.
Though...... He must not hear it from the old man, but Ma Liang must do it, this is his intention.
It hung hot in the sky of the western sky, exuding a strong light that scorched everything on the earth. In the distance, you can see the combine harvesters in the golden wheat fields rumbling and roaring in the fields to harvest wheat.
Ma Liang's family also has more than three acres of land, but they are all rented to other people's families for planting -- these days, there is no profit from farming, and his father Ma Mingquan has to go to work, Ma Liang is in school, and his mother Li Mei is too busy to be alone, so he simply contracts the land to other people's families to plant, which is worry-free and labor-saving.
On the hills to the east of the village, there are many trees and weeds.
Raised mounds and tombstones loom in between. Knowing the tireless call in the treetops, some butterflies fluttering among the wildflowers, and insects whispering among the weeds, make this place have a quiet artistic conception.
Maleonn walked along a winding path overgrown with weeds to his grandfather's grave.
After lighting the burning paper he brought, and spilling a bottle of wine evenly in front of the tombstone, Ma Liang picked up a brick and put it next to him and sat down.
The flames were fierce, steaming with waves of heat and faint smoke.
Ma Liang didn't avoid it too far, let the flames and flames scorch, his cheeks were soaked with sweat drops, but as if he didn't realize it, he grinned and said:
"Grandpa, I've graduated......"
"My dad won't let me be a god...... Well, I know, you won't let you either. ”
"Actually, I don't want to be a god, and I can't make a lot of money."
Ma Liang lit a cigarette, squinted and smoked, while continuing to talk nonsense to himself:
"You said that when I leave the campus and enter the society, I will find that in fact, there are many things in this world besides people, animals and plants...... But you also said that the techniques you taught me are basically useless in the real world, especially they can't be used to make money, because if you make too much, you have to scatter a large part of it, so what am I trying to do...... Martial arts are useful, but I can't go to the underworld, hehe, the underworld has guns......"
"I want to get rich, make a fortune, and marry several wives."
"Well, I know, it's monogamous now...... But with money, you can support the second mother, the third mother, the fourth and fifth mothers......"
"Okay, okay, I really don't study well......"
Speaking of this, Ma Liang scratched his head, and seemed to be really embarrassed:
"Then, I won't be a god stick to make money, and I won't harm people, I'm a little scared to make you say it, and I don't dare to touch the way of heaven."
"By the way, you said that you were once called 'Sitting Yama' by the people in the rivers and lakes, did you blow it? Where are the rivers and lakes, do you always think you are Jin Yong? ”
"Frankly, you drink too much and really like to brag, hehe......"
……
Sometimes he nags, sometimes he ponders for a while, and then he talks to himself......
Until the twilight of the West Mountain, the red light gradually dimmed. Ma Liang finished nagging, kowtowed in front of the grave, got up and walked along the path to the village with a cigarette in his mouth.
He misses the grandfather who likes to drink his own wine every day, always drinks with a dizzy but never drunk eyes, and a little lame leg. The old man also likes to play Tai Chi with a pair of old legs, and he can still play a majestic momentum; After he was dizzy after drinking, he told Ma Liang about what he had experienced, and some legends that were almost mythical, which he said were true......
Grandpa said that he used to be called "Sitting Yama";
Grandpa said that if it weren't for the fact that he broke his leg and severely damaged the meridians and seven spirits by criticism back then, he would have lived for at least two nails, that is, one hundred and twenty years old;
When his grandfather was seriously ill, he said that there was no need to spend money on his medical treatment, and that he was destined to die at the age of seventy...... But the family still spent their savings to see a doctor for him, and he died at the age of 70 - Ma Liang once wondered if his grandfather would have lived to be 70 years old if he had not spent money on hospitalization. He didn't know.
But he knew that whether he believed his grandfather's words or not, his father would pay for his medical treatment, because grandpa was his father's father. Even so, the grandfather seems to have a big conflict with his son on the issue of teaching Ma Liang martial arts and practicing thaumaturgy.
Fortunately, Ma Liang was admitted to the university, even if it was an ordinary third-rate university.
Because in the past few years, for the people in the village, the children who were admitted to the university were all excellent, and the family conditions were also the envy of the ordinary villagers.
