Chapter 3 Thousands of Lines of Filial Piety and Tears
The rain continued, Xu Gang's eyes were dark and blue, and his eyes were full of sadness and hatred. My father taught himself since he was a child that "men don't flick when they have tears, and men have gold under their knees", and now for his father, Xu Gang has thrown everything away, but what did he get? The father died in an unknown manner, but because of the unfactual conjecture, everyone interpreted the ruthlessness and indifference to the extreme! Or maybe it's because I have no money and no power, otherwise would today's events still happen?
Human snobbery is still in the past, who knows that heroes are white! Xu Gang dragged his swollen and soaked body and limped home. I saw two big white lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard, and in front of the door stood a young man dressed in sackcloth, with a hemp rope tied around his waist and a white scarf on his head, kneeling on the ground to greet people on his behalf, although no one came.
Xu Gang knelt on the ground with a thud and saluted him.
The young man nodded to Xu Gang and said, "Please mourn and change!" My name is Daoyuan, I heard what Uncle Taishi said about you, so I came. ”
"Thank you!" Xu Gang replied with a sluggish face.
"Uncle Taishi is doing things for your father inside, you can go in quickly!" Daoyuan reminded.
Xu Gang stepped over the door, bypassing the wall, there was a delicate coffin in the middle of the hall, incense, candles, money paper, paper people, paper houses, etc., there was a desk in front of the coffin, I don't know when I changed into a magic robe, I was standing in front, holding a peach wood sword in his right hand, holding a rune paper in his left hand, there were words in his mouth, he was doing things for his father, and there were several young Taoist priests around, some were burning paper money, and some were decorating the courtyard.
The grief of his father's death, the injustice of his situation and encounters, the indifference of his neighbors who have lived for more than ten years, and the warmth of meeting the old man in Pingshui, Xu Gang's heart is mixed.
Time has not changed because of someone's death, and the common people are still going on with their lives, and after a while they forget about these things completely.
"Little brother, what are your next steps?" Lao Dao looked at Xu Gangdao, who was kneeling in front of the grave and burning paper.
"I want to marry and keep filial piety for my father." Xu Gang replied firmly.
Lao Dao nodded and continued: "And then? Xu Gang was silent.
"Uncle Taishi, there is still a shortage of miscellaneous guys in our Taoist temple, otherwise let him come to our Taoist temple! Although the food is light and the salary is not much, I will not go hungry. Dao Yuan, who was standing on the side, suggested.
Lao Dao looked at Xu Gang and did not speak.
Xu Gang turned around and knelt down to Lao Dao and said, "Thank you for the great kindness of your benefactor, you have helped me too much, please accept my Xu Gang here." After speaking, he only heard the sound of kowtowing "knock, knock, knock". Lao Tao does not dodge or hide, because he can afford this worship and should accept this worship. "I have plans for the future, please don't worry! But no matter where I am, from now on, as long as the Taoist chief calls, Xu Gang will rush back even if he is far away. ”
"Okay, if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to Chongtongguan to find the poor way, I will be there during this time." Although Lao Dao really wanted to keep Xu Gang by his side in order to find out the reappearance of Fuxi's innate gossip reversal array, he thought that he had just lost his father, so he didn't persuade him more, let it all be fate!
"Please forgive the boy for being rude, you don't know your benefactor's last name?" Xu Gang asked sincerely.
"Poor road Zhang has no dreams! Hurry up, the man has gold under his knees, and in this life, except for the prince of heaven and earth, no one is worthy of you kneeling at every turn. Lao Dao helped Xu Gang up, stroked his beard, and taught.
"Uncle Taishi is the Hongmengzi of Kaiyuanguan." The little Taoist priest named Daoyuan added.
Xu Gang looked at everyone, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you!" ”
For seven hundred and forty-nine days, Xu Gang made grass for his house, and kept watch in front of his father's grave day and night.
Today is the last day, looking at the "words of the tomb of Lord Xu Gongchengyi", Xu Gang's thoughts drifted into the distance......
"Dad, where are we going when we're dressed so well?" Xu Gang asked his father suspiciously.
"You are also not young, didn't my father tell you before, I have set a door for you since I was a child, and I will take you to the door today and set the marriage!" The father looked at his son with a blank look and said happily.
In a gorgeous hall, a pair of well-dressed middle-aged men and women sat leisurely, leisurely drinking tea from the maid.
"I said Xu Chengyi, let's stop mentioning what happened more than ten years ago, okay? It's just a ridiculous decision after drinking, so why take it so seriously? You say yes! The richly dressed, pot-bellied middle-aged man looked at Xu Gang and his father standing in the middle of the hall with disdain.
"Ridiculous? What does this marriage book say? The father looked angry and shook the red wedding book in his hand.
"I'll tell you clearly, that year we also saw that your family was not bad, so we married you, as for now, my Yaoyao is as beautiful as a flower, noble and elegant, she has been invested in the famous teacher since she was a child, and her future is limitless, but look at your son, that point is worthy of our family Yaoyao, don't you want to climb the high branches of our family...... Hehehe, people must be self-aware! A woman dressed in fancy clothes said sarcastically.
"If it weren't for my father, would your family be where it is today?" The father pointed at the woman and said angrily.
"Yo, what's wrong, you are a dead cripple, if you don't go to the army, will the old lady be cheated of his family wealth by others, will he be so angry that he can't afford to get sick? That is, for the sake of the face that he once borrowed a few taels of silver, he also called him an old lady. Come back now, if it weren't for us, would you have the money to do the old man's funeral? The old man pretends to be benevolent and righteous all day long, try to ask which businessman in the world is not traitorous, if he wants to pretend to be benevolent and righteous, he deserves to be deceived......" The woman said in a weird way.
"Dad, forget it, let's go back, the child doesn't want to get married so early." Xu Gang pulled his father's sleeve and said.
"Smack!"
The father couldn't listen to it anymore, so he slapped the woman in the face with his hand, and then shouted: "You ungrateful thing, see that I don't teach you, you slut is not worthy of slandering my father!" ”
"Ah, you dare to beat me, come on, beat him to death for me!" The woman pointed at her father and screamed.
Some of the housekeepers rushed up with sticks and pressed my father to the ground, and the sticks fell all over his body.
"Dad~~~" Xu Gang rushed up to save him, but was kicked to the ground by another family, stepped on his feet, and couldn't struggle, so he could only watch the wooden stick keep falling on his father.
"Forget it, it's almost, just get out!" Perhaps it was because he saw his father spitting blood from his mouth and being covered with wounds, so the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes stood up, straightened his big belly, and waved his hand.
"Don't get them out yet!" Although the woman was angry, the head of the house did not dare to attack again, and hated the way.
A group of family members carried the injured father and son, threw them out of the door, and closed the door with a "bang".
"My lord, my father was injured like this, how can you not ask, is there still heavenly reason? Is there still a royal law? ”
A group of headhunters carried the injured father and son, threw them out of the door, and closed the door with a "bang".
Xu Gang took a few deep breaths, soothed his emotions, looked at his father's grave and said slowly: "Dad, please rest assured!" The child will definitely remember your last wish and live well! ”
After that, he kowtowed to his father a few more times, and made a painful vow in his heart: One day, I will definitely make those who deserve it pay the price.
Wiping away his tears, as soon as he got up, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach. Hey, for some reason, the amount of food suddenly increased during this time, and the food at home was almost exhausted, so it seemed that I had to find something to do. He touched his stomach and went straight to Meizhou City.
