Chapter 5: Grandpa's Immortal Death
I remember that in the previous life, Wen Ru was very happy to see that Wen Le was born, and he always wanted to take Wen Le as an apprentice and teach him martial arts and medical skills. Unexpectedly, after Wenle entered the county seat with his parents, he was unwilling to leave the county seat where the living conditions were stronger than his hometown, and he was not willing to return to Wenjia Village at all. It's just that when I went through the massage and acupuncture that my grandfather gave him every year, I learned some martial arts. In the early eighties, under the influence of the movie "Shaolin Temple", he learned a full set of "Bagua Palm Technique" moves from his grandfather.
In this life, Bunraku is determined to worship his grandfather as a teacher and learn his grandfather's skills in an all-round way. Since he was born, he has lived with his mother in his grandfather's house, and every day with his mother, he soaked in the medicinal bath specially prepared for them by his grandfather, and received massage and acupuncture from his grandfather. Looking at his grandfather's special love for his mother and himself, it wasn't until later that he learned the reason from his grandfather's codex, because his mother was not only a descendant of Marseille, but also looked like Marseille.
In the great favor of her grandfather, Wen Xiaomei's three-month maternity leave passed quickly, and Wen Le returned to the county seat with her mother who had completed her maternity leave. Mother's sister Wen Xiaozhu happened to go to high school in the county town and also lived in Wenle's house, and since then, she has been acting as Wenle's nanny in her spare time.
Bunraku, who has an adult mind, closes his eyes quietly every day. When someone teased him, he smiled at people in a friendly way, leaving a good impression on everyone. In fact, after Bunraku's grandfather's acupuncture and massage, his brain is very good and his memory ability is super strong. Every day, he was learning all kinds of knowledge that Lord Yama was used to losing to him. In order to achieve the future of "sleeping with a hundred wives, waking up to control the power of the world, children and grandchildren are noble, and wealth is the world's best." The desire to actively prepare, and the need is a good environment.
By the time Bunraku turned one, he had already learned to speak. After returning to Wenjia Village with his parents for the Spring Festival in 73, Wenle, who was weaned, lived with his grandfather. Grandpa held Bunraku in his arms every day, either teaching him to read and write, or giving him medicinal baths, massages, or acupuncture. When Bunraku was one and a half years old, he had just learned to walk, and he learned martial arts and medicine from his grandfather. Grandpa was very satisfied and happy with Bunraku's strong receptivity and hard work attitude. So, the old and the young, one devoted themselves to teaching, and the other studied hard and practiced hard, and lived happily day after day.
Spring comes and winter, when the mountains are full of red, after five reincarnations, from the time Bunraku turned one year old in '73 and began to speak, to the summer of '77, Bunraku lived and studied with his grandfather for four and a half years. In the summer of '75, my grandfather took the three-and-a-half-year-old Bunraku and began to walk all over the country, so that Bunraku could come into contact with many patients and teach Bunraku medical skills by example.
This period was the most difficult period for Bunraku to study, but also the most rewarding period. At the beginning, Grandpa saw that Wenle was too young, and would carry him on his back for a while, and then let him walk on his own. When he went out after the Spring Festival in '76, he basically let Wenle go by himself, stipulating that he would get up early every day to practice martial arts and see no less than five doctors. If you don't meet the requirements, you will be punished, or you will double down on the medical treatment of others, or you will not rest, and you will continue to travel day and night. Although it is not enough to starve and freeze Bunraku, this kind of punishment is also a bit choking for Bunraku, who is more than four years old.
It was this kind of rigorous teaching that in the course of more than four years, Bunraku and his grandfather learned the techniques of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and learned the techniques of identifying, digging, and planting herbs, as well as making Chinese medicine. I learned the internal strength of health preservation, and the small dantian was filled with the true qi of self-cultivation. Luck the true qi, the Bagua palm technique is a tiger and a tiger, especially a flying knife, which is fast and accurate; In addition, it also involves learning calligraphy, painting, Go, cooking, antiques and other skills, because he uses a brush every day to record various prescriptions, write learning experience, one hand thin gold body small Kai, write fast and good.
However, while Bunraku was cruising in the ocean of knowledge and absorbing all kinds of knowledge, his grandfather's body was getting worse day by day. As we entered July, my grandfather's appetite became smaller and smaller. At first, Bunraku thought it was because of the hot weather, so he changed his method and made some soup dishes for his grandfather to eat. Although Grandpa didn't eat much, the joy in his heart was still revealed from his face from time to time. The decline in appetite naturally made my grandfather's body weaker and weaker. It turned out that he had to go down the mountain every day and walk around the village. Later, he was too lazy to move, so Wenle called his grandfather to carry him down the mountain to play, but he didn't want to go. Just lying on the recliner, touching Bunraku's head or hand, and telling Bunraku something over and over again.
On the morning of August 3, Wen Ru saw that after Wen Le finished practicing, he suddenly asked Wen Le to accompany him down the mountain, and he strangely saw his grandfather who was in good spirits, so he hurriedly followed him to the village and made a big circle. When he arrived at Wen Le's grandfather Wen Jinsheng's house, his grandfather called Wen Jinsheng and his wife to him and explained some things clearly. Wen Jinsheng accompanied him back to the mountain, and at noon, after Wen Le fed his grandfather two mouthfuls of fish soup, he lay on the chair, saying that he wanted to sleep for a while. After bunraku finished cleaning up the pots and pans, he sat down next to his grandfather, and he patted his shoulder with a smile. Bunraku immediately leaned his head on his shoulder, as usual, and let his grandfather's hand caress his face.
Grandpa didn't say anything, just smiled and closed his eyes peacefully. Bunraku rested his head on his grandfather's shoulder, pressed his little hand on his grandfather's hand touching his face, and sat motionless, as if he was afraid of waking his grandfather. After Wen Jinsheng had lunch, he came to the mountain, and he saw his grandfather and Wen Le, leaning on each other affectionately, and also moved a small chair to sit over. When he sat down, he found that something was wrong with the situation, and quickly stretched out a hand and put it under his grandfather's nose, only to find that his grandfather was already immortal.
In August, during the summer vacation, after receiving the news of his grandfather's death, Wenle's parents and two sisters rushed to Wenjia Village the next day. Wenle's uncle Wen Fugen, his younger uncle Wen Fulin, and his sister-in-law Wen Xiaozhu, who works in the provincial capital and has just come back for two days, came to the mountain on the same day, one is to accompany Wenle, and the other is to help his grandfather with the funeral.
