Chapter 63: Wish-renewing
Liang Shirong: "What are you hesitating about?" ”
Liang Jianxing said in his heart: "Bird's nest is so rare, I am worried about giving it to others, so, what about your body, master?" What about my wife's side?! ”
Liang Shirong said generously: "Ahem, your master is already this age, it can be said that the loess has buried me in half, but the only son of the master of Su Zhai is a young man, maybe he will become a pillar of society in the future!" Besides, I, as a person, may not be able to eat such supplemental things, so I should give those bird's nests to the son of the owner of Su Zhai for healing. ”
Liang Jianxing was still hesitating: "This ...... This....... ”
Liang Shirong's tone was stubborn: "Yaxing, don't think about it anymore, this time you must listen to my master." ”
A wave of heat hit Liang Jianxing's heart, and he finally made up his mind: "Okay, just follow your master's instructions to do it,"
Liang Shirong praised: "You are my good apprentice!" ”
Liang Jianxing: "Master, you always don't care about yourself as a person, but think more about others. ”
That night, Liang Shirong came to Yunpai Village with the bird's nest given to him by the district boss.
The lord of Su Zhai was overjoyed, asked about the origin of this bird's nest, and was so moved that he held Liang Shirong's hand tightly, and said: "It's rare that you understand the righteousness so well, if my son is saved this time, I will repay you with a straw ring." ”
Liang Shirong: "Since I was a child, my mother has often taught me that don't try to reciprocate good deeds. Master Su Zhai, don't talk to me about these kind words anymore. ”
That night, Liang Shirong took matters into his own hands and cooked some bird's nest and chicken blood vine and other medicines, and took the medicine bowl to Su Yujia's bed and fed him medicine with a spoon.
The owner of Su Zhai, who was watching from the side, was moved to tears and wet his clothes.
Su Yujia already knew from her father that "the little ghost screamed in the middle of the night" was just the cry of the baby fish when she was courting, and the heavy spiritual burden of "haunted by mountain ghosts" was removed, and now she had to be treated with the right medicine, and she woke up the next day feeling much better, and her speech was not so breathless.
If this continues, Liang Shirong has been going to Su Zhai's house for the past few days to treat Su Yujia and decoct medicine.
I don't know if it is because God has eyes, or if it is the medicine stone Qiling, Su Yujia's sunken cheeks gradually swelled, turning from pale to ruddy, and there is still a little oil. The pupils of the two eyes have changed from the previous sluggishness to flickering from time to time.
A few days later, Su Yujia had a bright smile on her face that she hadn't seen for three years, and she didn't walk as light and fluttering as she used to be, but with vigorous steps and full of energy. The muscles of the arms are also gradually plump, and the camphor wooden pier weighing more than 50 catties in the yard can be lifted high and lowered more than ten times.
Seeing that his son's health had miraculously improved, Su Zhai was so happy that he was singing mountain songs.
When the master of Su Zhai and Su Yujia came to Liang Shirong's hermitage to thank their master and apprentice, Liang Shirong pointed to his heart and said earnestly: "Lord Su Zhai, the mountain herbs on Shuangshi Mountain can cure the diseases in the body. But how much more you need to heal the sickness here! ”
Su Zhai master: "My heart is also sick?" ”
Liang Shirong nodded: "Well, it's more terrible to be sick in your heart than to be sick in your body." You have to get rid of the obstacles in your mind, so that you can truly have a healthy body and mind. ”
Su Yujia's illness gradually improved, but the heart disease of the lord of Su Zhai attacked, because the lord of Su Zhai thought of the wish he made in front of God: "If his son's serious illness can be cured, he will cover the opposite mountain with silk and satin." ”
Now, his son's illness has been cured, and he wants to "return to God" in return, which is the common idea of God worshippers, and this is also the simple and persistent feelings of hard-working mountain people.
In the past few days, the owner of Su Zhai took a few people in the village to brave the scorching sun to the opposite mountain, holding a bamboo pole cut into a zhang long as a ruler, walking around the opposite mountain, while repeatedly measuring, while writing down the data with a book.
Su Zhai returned home, lit the oil lamp at night, and used the abacus to measure the data recorded during the day to calculate with an abacus, the more he calculated, the more surprised he was, the more he calculated, the more cold he became, and the gloomy clouds came to his face, so that he couldn't sleep all night.
Liang Shirong came to Su Zhai's house every day as usual to see how Su Yujia's body was recovering. found that Su Yujia's body was gradually recovering, and Su Zhai's speech was not as cheerful as a few days ago, his face became gray, and he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Could it be that your old man is also seriously ill? ”
Master Su Zhai: "No...... Nothing ......."
The more the lord of Su Zhai was distracted, the more he attracted Liang Shirong's attention: "If you have anything, you can tell it directly, maybe I can share your worries for you." ”
The lord of Su Zhai knew that Liang Shirong was enthusiastic and upright, and now, he had to tell Liang Shirong in detail about his wish in front of God, and then said: "Looking at the past from afar, the mountain opposite doesn't seem to be big, but in the past few days, a few of us have gone to the mountain to survey and measure." It's the size of a few dry acres. I have calculated that if I want to cover the mountains with silk and silk, it will cost at least 100,000 horses. Even if I sold my land and even this big house, I would not be able to raise enough money to buy those silk silks. ”
"Yo, listening to you, this difficulty is indeed quite difficult," Liang Shirong thought for a moment and comforted, "Since you made a wish to God that night, and now you really can't fulfill it, then you might as well come and burn incense and thank God again." ”
"No, no!" The lord of Su Zhai waved his hand violently and said, "Make a wish in front of the gods, and make a promise." If you break your promise, you will be struck by heaven's damnation, and the descendants of my Su family will be punished and suffered by the gods. "The kind-hearted mountain people are so convinced of the gods, and they are so persistent in the vows they once made.
Liang Shirong asked puzzledly: "Master Su Zhai, how could you be so confused at that time, open your mouth, and make such a big wish?" ”
The master of Su Zhai regretted it at this time, and beat his head with his fist, with a helpless face: "I can only blame myself for saving my son that night, I didn't think about it so much, blurted out, and made this great wish." ”
Liang Shirong saw that the lord of Su Zhai was so devout to God, and his personality was so stubborn, he pinched his chin with his hand, squinted his eyes and thought, he wanted to come to a "borrowing strength", suddenly, a bright light passed in his mind, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Is there a way?" His voice was so loud that everyone present was startled by him.
The lord of Su Zhai stared at Liang Shirong with his eyes: "What can you do?" ”
Liang Shirong analyzed: "Even if you really have the ability to raise enough money to buy back 100,000 horses of silk and satin to spread the mountain." This will alarm the neighbors and praise the owner of Su Zhai for keeping your promises and making a promise. But have you ever wondered about the backfire of this event? ”
Lord Su Zhai blinked his old eyes: "If I do a good deed, it will have the opposite effect?" ”
"Yes," Liang Shirong said with great certainty, "if you spread those silk satins all over the opposite hill, it would seem magnificent at first, but those silk satins are exposed to broad daylight, exposed to the sun and rain every day, and in less than half a year, they will not only fade, but also rot." At that time, the mountain will be full of rotten cloth, moldy and smelly, and it will become a mountain of garbage, and when it rains, it will cause sewage to flow on the mountain. By doing so, you are disrespectful to the god to whom you have made your wishes, and it will cause him a lot of trouble in the future. Aren't you counterproductive? ”
