Chapter 549: Salted Fish When the Waves Are Strong
It's a deep cavern, and it's pitch black as far as the eye can see. The surroundings were quiet and a little scary, and the sound of the stagnant water on the cave wall was monotonous and a little trance.
Shi Jinlang stretched his waist and reluctantly continued to walk forward, with jagged strange rocks under his feet, intricate. From time to time, the sound of monkeys echoing across the empty stone walls from the depths of the cave sounded particularly bleak and terrifying.
If it were someone else, it would have scared the three souls and seven spirits a long time ago, but Shi Jinlang clearly knew that he was in a dream, and this dream had been done intermittently for more than ten years. I can't remember if I was five or six years old when I was no longer afraid, the same cave, the same darkness, the same monkey screams, the same rocky road that I can't walk at the endγγγγγγ
The cave that seemed deep and terrifying to others was more familiar in Shi Jinlang's eyes than the way home. Shi Jinlang muttered in his heart, the dream of walking another thirty steps will end here, and the boring day is about to start again-
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding"
The alarm bell rang suddenly, Shi Jinlang mechanically turned over and sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked down at the time, and muttered: "Mom, it's been more than ten years, and now I'm beginning to wonder if you are my own mother?" β
Mother Chu pushed the door in when she heard the sound, and said with anger on her face: "Nonsense! Hurry up and get up for the old lady. β
Shi Jinlang stretched his waist and got into the quilt again, and complained to Chu's mother: "Mom, you drive me up at four o'clock in the morning every day, are you exercising your son or deliberately torturing your son?" β
Mother Chu saw her son get into the quilt again, and her face suddenly showed horror. She took off her apron, stepped forward and lifted the quilt of Shi Jinlang, and said angrily: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, your mother and I are for your good!" β
Shi Jinlang snatched the quilt and wrapped it around his body, pretending to be aggrieved: "Mom, can you and my father leave me some privacy?" I haven't even got my clothes on! Every time you pull my quilt, others don't laugh at me when they pass it out? β
"Little rabbit cub, it's against you, the photo of your bare ass when you were a child is in my big basket, hurry up and get up for the old lady to worship the Bodhisattva."
Shi Jinlang dressed and washed up stupidly, and secretly called Duan Xiaoyang while he was in the toilet.
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered, Shi Jinlang pressed the redial without giving up, and finally connected for another half a day.
Duan Xiaoyang on the other end of the phone shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, I beg you, don't torture me anymore, okay, call me at this time every time, please, if you don't sleep, others will sleep!" β
Shi Jinlang said with a smile: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, boss, this is for your good!" β
"Uh-huh, for... For my good, then let me sleep again... Sleep will. As he spoke, there was a sky-shattering snoring sound on the other end of the phone.
Shi Jinlang knew that Duan Xiaoyang was pretending, but he couldn't do anything about him. In desperation, I had to hang up the phone.
Outside, Chu's mother knocked on the door and said, "Come out quickly, your father has been waiting for you for a long time!" β
Shi Jinlang let out an "oh" and pushed the door open.
In the study, green smoke curled. In the center of the wall, a large word "Buddha" glittered with golden light. The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva sits on the lotus platform, and under the incense case are three futons side by side, two large and one small.
Dad Chu lit three pillars of incense and inserted it in the incense burner. He bowed down and knelt long on the futon. Mother Chu pulled the wave over and knelt on the futon in the center, and knelt down herself.
Shi Jinlang shook his groggy head, palms of his hands upward, lowered his head and knocked his head three times.
After kowtowing, Shi Jinlang clasped his hands together, looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the incense table with hazy eyes, and said, "Please bless me!" And my mom and dad! β
As he spoke, Jin Lang got up and muttered: "Worship every day, and I haven't seen any spirits appear!" β
Dad Chu pulled Shi Jinlang down on the futon, and forced him to knock his head three times. Mother Chu glared at Shi Jinlang, kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Bodhisattva forgiveness, Xiaolai is young and ignorant, if there is any offense, I hope you don't blame him." As he spoke, he prayed in unison with Chu's father: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is merciful and compassionate, and saves suffering, please bless Xiaolai, no disasters and no difficulties, and a safe life!" β
After the ceremony, the door of the study was closed, and Chu's father and Chu's mother bombarded Shi Jinlang one after another, looking angry and ruined, and he couldn't wait to peel Shi Jinlang's skin and cramp.
past events
At breakfast, Chu's father said with a solemn face: "Don't be busy going to school after eating, Dad has something to tell you, after so many years, we really haven't had a good conversation." β
Shi Jinlang mistakenly thought that it was another matter of worshipping the Bodhisattva, and his heart was full of dark clouds, so he hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food and rushed to his father's study.
In the study, Chu's father was looking at a Buddhist scripture, and when he saw Shi Jinlang coming in, he hurriedly closed the scripture book.
Dad Chu moved over a chair and motioned for Shi Jinlang to sit down, and then pulled one over himself to sit next to Shi Jinlang. Shi Jinlang lowered his head and put on a pious and teachable appearance, so as to wait for the calm storm to come less violently.
After being silent for a long time, Dad Chu sighed and said, "Xiaolai, it will be your eighteenth birthday in a few days, and you have grown up, so I have to listen to your thoughts on some things." β
As soon as Shi Jinlang heard his father's tone, he knew that he didn't mean to criticize himself, and suddenly had the confidence to say: "If your father has anything, just say it, don't hide it, I have grown up, and I have grown up." β
Father Chu pondered, and after a long time, he said eloquently: "It was when your mother was pregnant with you for nine months, and one day an old man with a white beard came to our house, holding a long sword and vowing to destroy the demon in your mother's belly. I thought he was joking, but when I saw him cast a spell, I realized that he had moved his real character. Your mother and I are naturally no match for him, so I beg him to let the innocent child live. When he saw that we were pitiful, he was reluctant, so he withdrew his sword and left a pendant, saying that he would bring it to you on the day you were eighteen, and then let us move our families to a place where no one knew us when that day came, and live incognito for the rest of our lives, so that we could avoid a catastrophe, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. You'll be eighteen years old in a few days, do you think our family will move or not? β
Shi Jinlang heard it in a fog, he didn't know what his father was talking about, he looked up and saw that his father looked serious, not like a joke, so he said casually: "Dad, what age is it now, you still believe the words of these charlatans, why do you have to move around for this labor." β
Chu's father defended: "No, he knew that you were a boy at that time, and said that there was a flame-shaped blood-red birthmark just above your left chest and heart. I was skeptical, but after your mother gave birth to you, it was exactly what he expected. β
Shi Jinlang subconsciously touched his heart and said: "The liars who walk the rivers and lakes have their own set, or what he will eat, in short, just let it be believed." β
Dad Chu bowed his head and said nothing.
Mother Chu hurriedly came in, don't be outdated, Jin Lang whispered a few words to Father Chu. Dad Chu sighed, got up and pulled out a delicate mahogany box from the drawer under the bookcase, and it was estimated that it had been a long time since he looked at the age.
Chu's mother carefully opened the box and took out a yellow and white cross pendant. The white one is the shape of a sword, and at the hilt of the sword are several dragons hovering together, lifelike; The yellow one is a stick-like thing with a hoop at both ends, and the hoop has an unknown pattern on it. The sword and the rod are inlaid together and look nondescript.
Shi Jinlang stepped forward and asked, "Mom, how much does this cost, the color looks okay, the style is too old-fashioned." β
Chu's mother was silent, and put it on her neck to help Shi Jinlang, and said seriously: "Xiaolai, my mother is just your son, no matter what, my mother would rather believe in it than believe in it, you honestly wear it for me." β
Shi Jinlang wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Ma making a lion in Hedong, he hurriedly retreated.
The concerned voice of Chu's mother and Chu's father sounded behind him: "Xiaolai, remember to come back early after school." β
thinking
After all, the young man's temperament, the inexplicable emotions when he first went out, disappeared after a while. Shi Jinlang hummed a self-composed song, kicked the stones under his feet, and didn't notice that a figure in front of him flashed away. At the corner of the road, Shi Jinlang lowered his head and was about to pass, with a shout of "ah", a figure jumped out, Shi Jinlang was shocked, and sat on the ground with his butt.
Duan Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had gone too far, and while pulling Shi Jinlang up from the ground, he said embarrassedly: "Boss, I thought you had a strong ability to bearββ"
Shi Jinlang reacted, touched his chest and said, "Damn, you want to scare me to death!" β
Duan Xiaoyang laughed wildly in his heart, and whispered quietly on his face: "Let's see if you dare to disturb my sleep again!" β
Shi Jinlang snorted coldly and said, "What did you kid say?" β
Duan Xiaoyang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No... No, I mean the boss looks handsome today! β
Shi Jinlang didn't have the same knowledge as Duan Xiaoyang, turned around and walked forward.
Duan Xiaoyang's eyes flashed, and when he saw the cross pendant around Shi Jinlang's neck, he grabbed it and said, "Oh, boss, what is this?" β
Shi Jinlang said listlessly: "It's just a broken pendant." β
Duan Xiaoyang muttered, "It's quite chic." β
Shi Jinlang thought that Duan Xiaoyang was teasing him, so he opened his mouth and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." β
Duan Xiaoyang shouted, "Really? Without waiting for Jinlang to nod, he ripped it off and hung it around his neck. Seeing Shi Jinlang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Duan Xiaoyang deliberately said: "Which one promised just now, can't you regret it?" β
Shi Jinlang said disdainfully: "Fart, I didn't want to come back the things that the master sent." β
Duan Xiaoyang said with a flattering face: "It's still the boss who is good to me, come and talk about it." β
Shi Jinlang kicked away: "Get out of your shemale!" β
Duan Xiaoyang flashed forward and shouted: "I didn't hit, I didn't hit, I didn't hit, hahaha... β
Shi Jinlang was so angry that he chased after him.
Tired of running, both men stopped to catch their breath. Shi Jinlang took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yang, ask you something, that dust-"
Duan Xiaoyang interrupted Shi Jinlang's words, and said with a righteous face: "One yard to one yard, if you don't return the pendant, don't think about hitting my sister's idea." β
Shi Jinlang defended: "No, I want to ask Dust-"
Duan Xiaoyang interrupted again: "You called Dustfall?" You'll need to call your full name. β
Shi Jinlang couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Okay, okay, I want to ask your sister Duan Chenluo if she came to class today?" β
Duan Xiaoyang said proudly: "That's right, seeing that your understanding is so high, let's reveal a little bit about you, and come here." β
Shi Jinlang hurriedly put his ears up, but Duan Xiaoyang roared in shock: "You idiot, is it difficult for students to chant scriptures if they don't come to class?" β
Shi Jinlang was so angry that he smoked and chased Duan Xiaoyang to school in one breath.
During class, Shi Jinlang kept peeking at Duan Chenluo, Duan Chenluo listened to the tutor's lecture with peace of mind, took notes carefully, and did not notice Shi Jinlang's abnormality at all.
Shi Jinlang had a crush on Duan Chenluo from the moment he saw her for the first time, but Shi Jinlang never admitted it, and later met Duan Chenluo through Duan Xiaoyang's relationship, but unfortunately there was not much progress, Duan Chenluo was exactly the same as him and others, and he had no feelings. Originally, there was nothing, but Duan Xiaoyang knew Shi Jinlang's thoughts, so he always guarded against Shi Jinlang like a wolf, even if Duan Xiaoyang shouted Shi Jinlang's boss. In his words, one yard is one yard, and everything about my sister and our brotherhood is like the same truth between the constitution and ordinary laws. None of them are discussed. Therefore, a pair of living treasures often make all kinds of jokes in front of Duan Chenluo, and they emerge endlessly. It also made Duan Chenluo feel very cordial, so he gradually became familiar with Shi Jinlang, but that's all, because Duan Chenluo had a person in her heart for a long time, no one knew who he was, and even Duan Chenluo didn't know, she just vaguely felt that it must be the one who happened to appear at the right time and in the right place.
Self-pity
Duan Xiaoyang saw Shi Jinlang staring at Duan Chenluo in a reluctant state, kicked his stool hard under the table with his foot, and said, "Do you have crooked thoughts about my sister in your head again?" β
Shi Jinlang woke up and turned around, knowing that he was bored, so he lay on the table alone and took out his mobile phone to take care of himself.
Duan Xiaoyang still kicked his stool unrelentingly, and when the waves suddenly became nameless, he turned around and shouted, "What are you doing?" Don't let people sleep? β
The old Chinese tutor lifted his sliding glasses and said tremblingly, "Is it that any of your classmates have nightmares when they sleep?" β
Shi Jinlang saw that the whole class was looking at him, so he quickly buried his head in the crook of his arm and pretended to be asleep, and secretly turned around and hated: "Duan Xiaoyang, you kid wait for me after class, see if I can beat you to death!" β
Duan Xiaoyang smiled "hehe" and said: "You can beat it as you like, I'll tell my sister when I go back!" β
When Shi Jinlang heard this, he suddenly lay on the table like a deflated ball, and did not move.
This is Shi Jinlang's weakness, and Duan Xiaoyang is dead.
After a while, Duan Xiaoyang kicked Shi Jinlang's stool behind him again, and Shi Jinlang turned back helplessly: "What do you want to do?" β
Duan Xiaoyang smiled stupidly and said, "Boss, help quickly!" β
Shi Jinlang turned around and mechanically took the pink note handed over by Duan Xiaoyang, turned around and crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the table of Zuo Qianqian in the front row.
