Seventy-seven resurrection

The rain in Beijing always has made enough noise, the rain seems to have been accumulated for a long time, and it is long overdue in people's expectations, and once it starts to rain, the movement is quite large, the dark clouds are overhead, the lightning is thundering, and it is dripping and mighty. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not like Beijing City, usually rainy, a gust of wind can bring a burst of rain, in the sudden shower, Xiong Tianlei rushed to a broken temple, touched the clothes, already half wet. He had been in Fangshan for two or three days, and Huang Can had been there four or five times, but Huang Can didn't know the person who bought the stone horse, and he hadn't seen him again. Xiong Tianlei walked around the neighborhood again and asked many people, but no one had ever seen Feng Yue'e. After a few days, Xiong Tianlei was exhausted, his body was dirty and tired, and today he was even more embarrassed by this sudden rain, he looked at himself, he was almost a beggar, he smiled bitterly, looking forward to the rain to stop soon. Who knows that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the downpour seems to want to water the earth through, the momentum is quite fierce, it has been in a tumultuous and non-stop, Xiong Tianlei kept wandering at the temple gate, anxious.

"Young man, this rain will not stop for a while." Suddenly, an old voice came from the corner, which jumped Xiong Tianlei.

Xiong Tianlei turned around and found a person lying in the southeast corner of the ruined temple, the light in the temple was not good, and it was difficult to find that there were people here unless he looked closely. Xiong Tianlei walked over in a few steps, and the man seemed to have just woken up, and he was about to use his arms to prop himself up. Xiong Tianlei looked at the man's ragged clothes, fluffy hair stained with straw, wrinkled face, and a listless look, looking really a beggar. Xiong Tianlei was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a gurgling sound in the man's stomach, and the man couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "It's better to fall asleep, it's really uncomfortable to wake up hungry." ”

Xiong Tianlei saw that this person was pitiful, and quickly took out the prepared lunch from his arms, but it was a flatbread with beef and handed it to the man. When the man smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, he snatched the flatbread and ate it in a big gulp, because he was in a hurry, he choked and coughed, and Xiong Tianlei hurriedly handed the man the water bladder he brought. The man stopped and poured water into a broken bowl next to him, and drank it all in a few sips.

In the blink of an eye, the man finished eating a large cake, rubbed his stomach and said, "Little brother, you have a good heart, the Bodhisattva will bless you to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law and give birth to a fat boy, thank you." ”

Xiong Tianlei smiled bitterly: "You're welcome, the meeting in Pingshui can be regarded as fate." ”

The man said strangely, "Little brother, aren't you a local when you listen to the accent?" ”

Xiong Tianlei nodded: "I'm from Beijing City." ”

The man smacked his tongue again: "That's at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I heard that it is very magnificent, and it is very prosperous." ”

Xiong Tianlei didn't feel homesick for a while, but he thought that there was no mother at home, and the city of Beijing that he had been familiar with since he was a child was a little less cordial.

The man asked, "Little brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiong Tianlei suddenly had the urge to confide in others, at such a moment, there was a stranger who could listen to himself, let himself say what he wanted to say, it was so rare, he couldn't help but say: "I came to find my mother, my mother disappeared in Beijing more than two months ago, and then I found that there were two words written by my mother on a box, and this box is the stone carving made by the Huang family in Fangshan, Qingtian County, that Huang boss also recognized that he sold it more than a month ago, but only said that it was bought by a local, and there were no other clues. I searched according to the description of the man he said, but I could not find him, and no one had ever seen my mother. After he said this, he was depressed, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice was muffled in his chest.

When the man saw Xiong Tianlei in such a situation, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable for him, and sighed softly and said, "It turns out that you are also a poor person. ”

After a while, Xiong Tianlei saw that the rain gradually stopped, and then cheered up and said: "Since I came here from Beijing, I must have news of my mother, maybe God has mercy on my hard work, so I met with my mother, and now that the rain has stopped, I will go out to inquire again." ”

The man suddenly said, "Little brother, you don't have to wait any longer. Seeing Xiong Tianlei looking at himself puzzled, he hurriedly said: "There are dozens of people here who make a living by begging, most of them are miserable people, or physically disabled, or abandoned, over time, everyone has the same disease and sympathy, so they get together, begging during the day, and come to this broken temple at night to live, today because of the bad weather, they are afraid that I will be old and weak, and my body will be damaged by the rain, so they will leave me in the temple." I thought that our gang would go from house to house, and often wander from village to village, and maybe know something that ordinary people don't know. Then he looked at the sky outside and said, "As soon as the rain stops, I guess they will come back soon." ”

Xiong Tianlei hesitated for a moment, seeing that this person was full of kindness, and thought that he would simply kill the horse as a live horse doctor, so he nodded.

It was getting dark, and it didn't take much effort for some of the beggars, dressed in tatters, to return to the temple, as the old man said, some of them were mutilated, some were only seven or eight years old, some of them were happy with a few pennies, some were holding a bowl of leftovers, and some of them had nothing to ask for. When the beggars saw Ding Si, they were all very strange, and the old beggar told everyone about Xiong Tianlei. Xiong Tianlei described his mother's appearance, and all the beggars said that they had never seen it, and Xiong Tianlei didn't have much hope, but just sighed slightly.

Xiong Tianlei was about to get up to say goodbye, when a small beggar suddenly said, "Do you northerners eat more noodles?" ”

Xiong Tianlei didn't know why this little beggar asked such a question, so he had to nod.

The little beggar said: "I begged in Hujiabao, and found that during this time, there are often some leftover steamed buns in Hujiabao, and their family is not used to eating them, so they are cheap for me. ”

Xiong Tianlei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Is there anyone in the foreign family who is very strong, and his face is white?" ”

The little beggar was stunned for a moment: "Are you talking about being outside?" ”

Xiong Tianlei's heart kept beating, and he hurriedly saluted the little beggar and said, "Little brother, if I really find my mother, you will help me a lot." After speaking, he hurriedly inquired about how to get to Hujiabao.

The beggars told Xiong Tianlei the address, Xiong Tianlei couldn't wait to have wings, and rushed to Hujiabao at once, although the road outside was muddy and the road was slippery after dark, Xiong Tianlei was in a hurry to get on the road. Fortunately, Hujiabao is not too far from here, less than an hour, Xiong Tianlei rushed to Hujiabao, he found a family in front of the door according to the little beggar's confession, the villagers went to bed early, although it was not yet time, the village was already dark, Xiong Tianlei looked at this family, compared with other houses, it was really a solid family, he hid in the corner and listened for a while, there seemed to be someone talking in the yard, he waited for a while, the yard was quiet, he climbed along the wall to the yard, to the yard, Xiong Tianlei only found, This is actually a three-courtyard house, in a window under the main porch, there is a faint yellow light, he tiptoed to the window, find a place to hide his body, listen to what the people inside say, the people in the house should be a man and a woman, should be the male owner and the hostess of the house, the two chatted for a while, only to hear the man say: "It's not early, hurry up and rest." The sound of shrinking sounded inside, and then the lights went out, and the room was pitch black, and the woman didn't seem to be sleepy, and turned over a few times and whispered: "The woman from the capital is safe these days, but she is too peaceful, and she doesn't even say a word." The man was a little sleepy, yawned and said, "You made Li Hu's family keep an eye on her, don't have an accident then." The woman muttered again, "Now that I am chanting all day long, I have no choice but to set up a Buddhist hall for her in the backyard." The man listened to her complaining, and said impatiently: "He once saved my life, and I always said that I never had a chance to repay him, and this is not a big deal, and he entrusted me to take care of a woman, how can I not even do this little thing?" The woman didn't dare to nag, and still whispered: "Why didn't you say that you bought the expensive Huang family stone carving last time and gave it to him?" But her voice was so low that even the men around her didn't dare to hear it, let alone the Xiong Tianlei outside the window. At this time, Xiong Tianlei had heard it inexplicably, from the words of the two, it seemed that there was indeed a woman from the capital living here, but was that person his mother? Xiong Tianlei only felt nervous in his heart, his hands couldn't help shaking, and his body didn't have much strength, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and carefully touched the backyard.

The backyard is also pitch black, only a small window jumping faint light, Xiong Tianlei came to the window lightly, only to hear the sound of beating the wooden fish inside, knocked out the quiet night, Xiong Tianlei's heart beat hard, he lay on the window to listen to the sound of the wooden fish, and felt like knocking on his heart, knocking his heart into pieces, up and down, Xiong Tianlei stretched out his hand seven or eight times, every time he wanted to knock on the window and stopped, he was really afraid that this time it was like that time in Biyun Temple, he recognized the wrong person, Bai Bai shattered his hopes, at this moment, suddenly heard the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and a low sigh came from inside, and someone said to himself: "Tianlei, may my sincerity bless you with peace and security, Bodhisattva above, let me bear all the sins alone." ”

When the sigh sounded, Xiong Tianlei's tears flowed down, and as soon as the man's voice fell, Xiong Tianlei shouted in a low voice: "Mother." ”

The people in the room were stunned and couldn't help shouting: "Heavenly thunder? Then he said to himself: "I am really stupid, how can it be the voice of thunder?" ”

Xiong Tianlei choked up and said, "Mother, if you open the window, I'll be outside?" ”

The footsteps inside were hurried, the window was immediately opened, the dim light kept beating, Xiong Tianlei looked muddy, and was washed by tears one by one, he finally saw his mother dressed in plain clothes, looking haggard, standing in front of him alive.
