Chapter Ninety-Four: Freemasonry (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
"Brother Han, Brother Han."
"Huh?"
"What are you thinking?"
Brother Xiong looked up at Han Yi curiously with his fat face.
"Oh, nothing."
Han Yi shook it down and asked Ono again, "Ono, is this what your master carved on?" β
Ono nodded.
Han Yi said: "Then-what about your master?" β
Ono suddenly pointed to the back of the house.
The three of them went to the back of the house, only to see that there were two graves behind the house, Han Yi was slightly stunned, but he was not too surprised, because he was mentally prepared, if there were really masters here, then they would not have come here for a while, they should have appeared a long time ago, but the two tombs have not been erected. Only in front of the grave on the left is what appears to be a knife stuck in it, but only the hilt is exposed.
Broken knives here? It seems that this is the tomb of that hero, but who is the grave on this side? Han Yi asked, "Is the grave on this side your master?" β
Ono shook his head, his expression gloomy.
Han Yi was curious and looked at Ono.
After a while, Ono said, "Yes-it's-me-me-mother." β
"Huh?"
Han Yi was shocked when he heard this, because Ono was also a villager in Plum Village, but he had accidentally rolled down the hillside a few years ago, and although he didn't see the body, according to the villagers, he had fallen to his death, but he didn't expect to be buried here.
Brother Xiong stepped forward, patted Ono's shoulder, and comforted: "Ono, don't be sad, although your mother is gone, don't you still have me and Brother Han, I was as sad as you at the beginning, but then I met you and Brother Han, and I won't be sad." β
Ono looked at Brother Xiong, his eyes slightly ruddy.
Is this little fat man quite comforting? Han Yi smiled and said, "It's a guest who has passed through the door, and I should worship the master here, but it's a pity that I didn't bring some incense and candles." β
Although he had never met the hermit, judging by the few words that the hero carved on the stone in front of him. This is definitely a big hero, in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, there were really few heroes who dared to call Li Shimin out. It can be seen that this person is also extraordinary, but this is not important, the important thing is that he can take care of the people of Limin, and would rather live in seclusion here than to fight for the world. Lifelong regrets, throughout the ages, there are really few heroes who can do this, most of them are those who think they are great, but they can't show their ambitions.
For this alone, many famous heroes have already been won.
Han Yi and Brother Xiong first bowed in front of the hermit, and then bowed in front of Ono's mother's grave.
After the worship, Ono invited the two into a wooden house, which was very simply furnished, a stone table. There are two stone benches, and a low bed, and on the left wall hangs a large bow and a scabbard, although there is no knife in it, but judging from this scabbard, the knife must be not small, at least more than four inches wide, and there is a tiger skin hanging on the trunk of the tree in the house, but the structure is very ingenious, it is borrowed from this big tree to support the whole house. A small ladder leads to the hut above.
"Han-Han-Da-Big-Brother, Little-Chubby, you-you-wait."
Ono struggled to utter a few words, and then walked out of the house. After half a loud sound, I saw him walk in with one hand around an altar, and there was a small bottle on top of a jar, Han Yi and Brother Xiong quickly got up to help him take over an altar, only to feel that the jar was heavy, and asked, "Is this wine?" β
Ono nodded: "Master-Master-stay-stay." β
Han Yi originally thought that these two jars were full of wine. But he didn't expect that there was jar meat in the other jar, that is, cured meat, which had meat and wine, which made Han Yi particularly happy, and said again and again: "Excellent, excellent, it's a pity that Shen Xiao was not called, otherwise the four of us could have a drink here." β
"It'sβit's all my fault." Ono apologized.
Han Yi smiled: "What do you say, if you don't drink it today, just drink it tomorrow, don't take it to heart." β
Brother Xiong also nodded.
Ono picked up the small bottle and handed it to Han Yi, and said, "Han-Brother Han, --rub-rub." β
"Wipe what?" Han Yi was stunned for a moment and asked.
Ono pointed to his chest.
Han Yi subconsciously touched it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, forget that I was still injured." Subconsciously opened the placket to take a look, only to see that the chest to the abdomen were already bruised, and he was very happy because Ono spoke in front of him, and he forgot about this matter.
Brother Xiong was very guilty and said, "Brother Han, are your injuries serious?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, your big brother Han won't be so unbearable." Han Yi smiled, in fact, for him, injuries were commonplace, and he didn't care very much, so he took the small bottle, opened the lid and smelled it, "Medicinal wine?" β
Ono snorted, "It's-good-it's easy." β
Han Yi immediately wiped it with medicinal wine.
Ono brought three more stone bowls, and one of them poured them a glass of wine.
With the wine, Han Yi immediately put down the medicinal wine.
"Cheers."
The three of them touched the glass, and except for Xiaopang, Han Yi and Ono all drank it all.
Xiaopang is not very interested in wine, after all, he has been drunk, but he has a soft spot for this cured meat, grabbing a piece of meat in one hand and eating it in a big gulp, "Hmm, Ono, the meat in your jar is really delicious." β
Han Yi glanced at Brother Xiong and smiled, this fat man was so cute that it made people laugh, and asked Ono again, "Ono, how did you meet your master?" Also, how did your mother end up here? β
Ono was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again.
Han Yi saw that he didn't want to say more, so naturally he wouldn't be reluctant, "It's okay, I'll just ask casually, it's okay if you don't say it, come, let's drink." β
Ono suddenly raised his head, glanced at Han Yi, and said slowly: "I-I am-I'm here-this-here-looking for my mother--I just met-met-master-master." β
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Then Ono spoke intermittently, just because he stuttered very badly, so he spoke very slowly, but Han Yi and Brother Xiong were also very patient and listened quietly.
It turns out that this has to start with Ono when he was a child, Ono was a very talkative person when he was a child, although he lived in a single-parent family, although he had a mother who was not very bright, but Ono was naturally cheerful. It's a pity that the children in the village at that time, seeing that he had a nervous mother, didn't like to play with him, so he could only pester his mother. This is also the reason why he doesn't like to go to Plum Village very much.
But as the news of his father's death in battle came, his mother was hit hard and became even more insane, often skipping meals and babbling all day long. Ono was young at the time. I don't know why my mother became like this, so I still pestered his mother as always, on the day of his mother's accident, it turned out that it was because his mother didn't cook, Ono was hungry, so he cried at home, and his mother was not in a normal brain, and was so noisy that Ono went crazy, grabbed Ono and scolded him, and then rushed out. He never came back since.
Ono saw that his mother did not come back, so he ran out to look for it, until the evening of the same day, he heard a woodcutter in the village say that he saw Ono's mother roll down the hillside, he knew that his mother was killed, in fact, there were many enthusiastic people in the village at that time to search, but that hillside was bottomless, no one dared to go down, and it was over.
But the son is not ugly to the mother, although the mother is a little crazy. But Ono loved his mother so much that he went up the mountain alone to find him, when he was only six years old and didn't know what danger was. I just wanted to find my mother back, so I climbed down the hillside, but accidentally rolled down, and it turned out that there was a cliff below the hillside, but Ono was lucky. Because he was young and his body was relatively small, he hung on the big tree now, and later the hermit who lived in seclusion here was saved by his master.
When he woke up, his master asked him why he had fallen, and he told him that he had come to look for his mother, and his master brought him to the back of the house, and it turned out that his mother had indeed fallen two days before, but she was not so lucky as him, and she had died.
Ono was so sad that he cried for a day and a night in front of his mother's grave, however, because her mother always said that he was very noisy and was going to be killed by him, let him shut up, Yunyun or something. His mother was crazy, and she didn't speak lightly or heavily, and she didn't want to leave a big shadow on Ono, who was only six years old at the time, and he didn't know much about it, so he really thought that his voice killed his mother, so from that moment on, he became very hated for his voice, and since then he has become silent, and then he simply stopped talking.
His master didn't know why, seeing that this kid gradually kept silent, he began to gesticulate, curious, and asked all kinds of questions, but Ono shook his head and didn't say anything, and over time, his master also gave up, or got used to it.
Until he met Han Yi and Brother Xiong, especially Brother Xiong, he hugged him from time to time and told him, it would be good if Ono could talk.
This repetitive expectation opened Ono's heart and gave him an urge to speak.
In addition, Han Yi said repeatedly that he would seek a famous doctor to help Ono treat his illness.
This made Ono feel that not everyone hated my voice, at least Xiaopang and Brother Han wanted me to speak.
Although he left before, he was very sad in his heart, feeling that it was his fault, he was afraid that Han Yi and Brother Xiong would ignore him because of this, so he quietly followed him again, fortunately he went, otherwise Brother Xiong and Han Yi would have suffered.
And he stammered when he spoke, also because he didn't speak all year round, and when he was growing his body, his vocal cords were also developing, which made it very difficult to speak for a while, and every word he said seemed to use up all his strength, but as he said more and more, the obstacles became smaller and smaller, but he was still very stammering, and his voice was very immature.
After hearing this, Han Yi nodded slightly, but there was a feeling of sympathy in his heart, Ono became silent because of his mother's death, and he was precisely because of the relationship between his parents, which caused him to lose confidence in marriage and even love. He wanted to comfort Ono very much, but thinking that he was all of this virtue, and what qualifications did he have to enlighten others, he was bored for no reason, and drank another bowl of wine.
But Brother Xiong pulled Xiao Ye and kept talking, don't look at this little fat man's innocence, he seems to be quite ignorant, but he is full of confidence in all good things, and he has not become as cynical as Han Yi because of the death of his parents, he is naturally very optimistic, just listen to what he says, "Ono, your mother must like you very much, just like my mother, but temporarily lost her mind." And what did you say, "Your mother must not hate you, I did wrong things when I was a child, and my mother only taught me a few words, but she never hated me, how could my mother hate her son." β
Once Chubby spoke, he couldn't stop at all, and gradually became a memoir of the past, recalling how his parents were good to him, and how to play with him, Ono is also young, and he also wants to speak now, listening to Brother Xiong talk about his parents, and also about his mother, although his mother is a little crazy, but maternal love is also innate, before his father died in the war, the mother and son also got along very happily.
Han Yi listened quietly on the side, and at first he took a few sips of wine, but after listening to it, the wine in the cup did not decrease.
