10. Hero 3
The "Divine Buddha" looked back at the end of Huangquan Road and sighed with some emotion: "The road to see Yama is very long, difficult, very cold, and very lonely. To walk through the windy Huangquan Road, to walk across the Nai He Bridge, there is a side on the bridge, you can see your past life, this life, and future life, there is your most important person, if you are trapped in it, emotional, you will jump into the Lechuan River, thousands of years of torment. ”
He paused suddenly, sighed deeply, as if something flashed through his mind: "Oh, that Lethe River is amazing, even if the gods and Buddhas jump into it, they will be imprisoned for thousands of years." ”
Shi Xiaohou didn't say a word, the road he just started was like this, can he still hold on to it later?
He was a little scared, every strong person has his own things to fear, let alone a weak person like Shi Xiaohou?
"You are different from other gods and Buddhas. Shi Xiaohou raised his head, looked at the "Divine Buddha", and calmly said his inner thoughts.
The "Divine Buddha" smiled: "Follow me back to the mortal world and set foot on your life!"
After that, in an instant, countless phantoms of the Buddha suddenly appeared around Huangquan Road, and the phantoms glowed with red-golden light, and the majestic and tall figure went straight into the sky.
The light of the Buddha illuminates the heavens and the earth, warm, peaceful and majestic.
Shi Xiaohou stood in the light of the Buddha, a little confused, why the hypocritical "God and Buddha" has such a warm, peaceful and powerful power in the world.
The Buddha's light devoured Huangquan Road, devoured the "Divine Buddha", devoured everything, and devoured Shi Xiaohou.
Shi Xiaohou was so dazzled by this dazzling Buddha light that he couldn't open his eyes, and suddenly lost his vision.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the alley on Shuilian Street, and he saw Liu Laohu, who was motionless.
They are not as pointed out as described in martial arts, but as if time has stopped flowing in them, and they have become stone statues with vivid colors.
He turned his eyes again, and what he saw was the "Divine Buddha" he met on the Huangquan Road.
"Why do you want to save me?" Shi Xiaohou was a little incredulous, if the noble gods and Buddhas could really have such kindness and righteousness, and be able to value humble mortals a little more, why was this world so chaotic.
"Divine Buddha" smiled: "Buddha is destined to be a person, your life is not good, but it is good." ”
Shi Xiaohou smiled cynically: "Buddha, don't tease me, I'm an orphan, a thief, a mortal, my life is not good at all, to put it mildly, it's a cheap life, it's almost the same as Ah Huang next door." ”
The "Divine Buddha" was stunned: "Who is Ah Huang?"
"A dog. Shi Xiaohou said as he drooped his head, like that, he really looked like a dog.
Lonely people are like dogs, out of place in this world.
"You are nobler than a dog, and you will be more noble than the gods and Buddhas, and in the future, the three worlds of heaven and earth, from the gods and Buddhas, the demon clan to the mortal world, from the light to the dark, will firmly remember your name. This is your life, fight, fight, win! One day you want strength, take this golden hoop, go to the imperial capital Lingxiao City, where there are very important people waiting for you. ”
As he spoke, the god and Buddha took out a golden hoop from his robe and put it in Shi Xiaohou's hand, then stood up, only two steps, and returned to the white horse, jumped on the white horse, and left slowly.
Although the white horse walked slowly, it only took two steps before disappearing.
One step to the end of the world is a kind of power of gods and Buddhas.
After the "god and Buddha" left, the water curtain street at the exit of the alley returned to normal, with young ladies and drunken customers coming and going, occasionally a few ruffians and hooligans interspersed in it, and the streets and alleys were full of barbecues and the cries of late-night hawkers.
The scenes and sounds that used to be a little boring to hear and watch are now so warm and lovely.
The feeling of being lost and regained is always a mixture of joy and sorrow, and full of emotion.
At this time, Shi Xiaohou just wanted to shout at the starry night sky: "I, Hu Hansan, have returned to Huaguo Mountain again." ”
After the "Divine Buddha" left, the realm naturally disappeared, and the power that fixed Liu Laohu's gang of hooligans also disappeared. At this time, they didn't dare to do anything to Shi Xiaohou anymore, but wanted to be treated as a "grandfather".
People who are related to gods and Buddhas are also half gods and Buddhas.
"Master, we dogs don't know Taishan with eyes, we offended you, you don't remember villains, just treat us as a fart, let it go!"
The fierce and murderous hooligans were crawling on the ground and trembling, knocking their heads one after another.
In fact, Shi Xiaohou looked at the faces of these hooligans who were distorted by fear, and the hatred in his heart suddenly disappeared. In this world, the poor will have something to hate, and the hateful will have something to hate.
"Get up, don't provoke Miss Bai Jingjing in the future. ”
"Thank you Master for not killing her! We will definitely not provoke her again, and when we see the white girl in the future, we will treat it as an ancestor." ”
Shi Xiaohou smiled, put his hands in his pockets, turned around coolly, and strode out of the alley. His waist was always not straight, and his whole body was curled up at any time, both lonely and like a dog.
In Huaguoshan City at night, hooligans crisscross the streets and alleys, and in this era when food and clothing are difficult to solve, morality and civilization have been trampled into the dust.
Shi Xiaohou walked on the path of Shimen Village, took out the diamond bracelet given to him by the "God and Buddha", bit it with his teeth, and after confirming that it was made of pure gold, he was a little happy, and planned to sell it when Chen Zixia was eighteen years old, and buy Chen Zixia an expensive gift, or a second-hand car.
As for the imperial capital Lingxiao City and the power of the gods and Buddhas mentioned by the "Divine Buddha", Shi Xiaohou didn't want to do anything with his strength, as long as he could be Chen Zixia's little tail dog for the rest of his life.
The yellowed lights in the small courtyard looked a little dazzling in the darkness, and the old man Shi's money fan must be smoking a cigarette in a rocking chair waiting to accept the fruits of his labor!
He won't give him that diamond bracelet, and if it's a big deal, he will be starved and punished!
Chen Zixia will not starve, every time Old Man Shi only dares to implement *** policy against Shi Xiaohou, and he just talks about Chen Zixia.
Shi Xiaohou didn't know why, maybe Old Man Shi wanted to raise Chen Zixia for nothing, and then find a good mother-in-law, collect more gifts and marry.
When Chen Zixia got married, Old Man Shi's immortal old man also died of old age, so let's see how he made this wishful thinking.
Shi Xiaohou's heart was happy, he pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard, Old Man Shi did not sit on the rocking chair, what caught his eye was Chen Zixia hurriedly holding the medicine bowl. Beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down her forehead, and her little face was red from the steam of the medicinal soup, and it was cute.
"Why did you come back, did you get something?"
As soon as the words fell, she went into Old Man Shi's room.
Shi Xiaohou jumped into Old Man Shi's room, only to see Old Man Shi lying on the bed dying, a little like he was going to see the King of Hades.
Shi Xiaohou was not only not sad at all, but was a little happy.
Old money fan, old immortal, it's good to die, go see Hades as soon as possible! Money fan, want to marry Chen Zixia to someone else in exchange for gift money, exploit me, oppress me, ***, to hell!
Old man Shi, coughing violently, looked at Shi Xiaohou, and said with difficulty: "Ah, Ah Xia, you, you go out, I have something to say, I want to say something to Xiaohou, Xiaohou alone, alone." Ahem!"
Chen Zixia put down the soup bowl, then glanced at Shi Xiaohou deeply, and then retreated very obediently.
Shi Xiaohou understood that Chen Zixia wanted to tell Shi Xiaohou not to be angry with Old Man Shi, for fear of giving Old Man Shi an angry anger and going to see the King of Hades.
"Xiaohou, come here!" Old Man Shi beckoned to Shi Xiaohou weakly.
Shi Xiaohou Jiao'er Lang walked over on the spot, holding his arms in his arms, looking like the second force of the king of heaven Lao Tzu, as if to say, old boy, now you are sick in bed, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, be careful that Lao Tzu takes advantage of your illness to kill you.
Old man Shi not only didn't get angry, but smiled: "Xiaohou, you must hate me very much for so many years, right?"
It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentions it, Shi Xiaohou only feels resentful, and the grievances of so many years are like a flood for a while, filling his entire chest.
"You know that I hate thieves, cheating, and betrayal the most in my life, and you want to force me to be a thief, if you don't do it, you will threaten me with Chen Zixia, you only have money in your eyes, I am just a tool for you to accumulate money, if it weren't for Chen Zixia, I would rather be frozen to death on that snowy night than be brought back by you!"
If it was before, Old Man Shi would definitely be furious and swept Shi Xiaohou out of the house, but today, he just smiled calmly.
"Xiaohou, you are taboo as a thief, Chen Zixia knows best, you steal for her, she also knows, but she is not good at expressing the emotion in her heart. ”
"So what?" Shi Xiaohou had a hideous face and gritted his teeth, like an angry little beast.
Old man Shi still smiled tepidly: "Xiaohou, in fact, Chen Zixia is different from us, she is noble, we are lowly, many years ago, in the Great War of Buddhism and Taoism, the heavenly soldiers of Lingxiao City, the imperial capital, entrusted her to me, claiming to be the daughter of the God King, as for why she was sent to this remote and backward city to hand over to me a lonely old man, I don't know." ”
"I forced you to steal, and every time I threaten you with her, I want her to see that you are good to her, so that she is moved by you and has you in her heart. Let her know that there is such a little mortal who is willing to give up his dignity, go against his heart, and sell his soul for her. I know that those heavenly soldiers will soon come to pick her up, and she will be her goddess again, and when she becomes a goddess, she is willing to take your little tail dog, you are also a fairy, and you will also enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”
After Old Man Shi said all this, Shi Xiaohou was completely stunned, it turned out that the lonely old man turned himself into a wicked person who was greedy for money, heavy on profits, indifferent and ruthless, and practiced *** acts at any time, just to pave a road of glory and wealth for him, a little hairy man?
It's so warm, the love that sacrifices oneself and pays silently is the greatest.
Shi Xiaohou's eyes turned red unconsciously, he was suddenly a little afraid that this bad old man would die, he had a lot of things to say, but when it came to his mouth, those words were dry in his throat and turned into salty and bitter tears.
The feeling of heartache is more painful than death. At that moment, Shi Xiaohou felt as if he was about to lose something important in his life, so sad, even more sad than the loneliness that was incompatible with this world.
"I know that time is over, I will tell you this, I hope you will treat Chen Zixia with your heart, seize the opportunity, and stop being like us pathetic mortals, living for the sake of life every day, betraying the soul for the sake of life, and just like that, I will live for a lifetime, for decades, and live happily and truly for a few more years. ”
Shi Xiaohou couldn't help but think of his life, it seems that the really meaningful thing is to save Bai Jingjing and love Chen Zixia hard.
With red eyes, he knelt down towards Old Man Shi: "Actually, you treat me as your own son, but I am too stupid to misunderstand you for so many years, I'm sorry!"
Old man Shi smiled and smiled happily, that feeling, as if the son who had been rebellious for many years finally understood his father's deep love and said sorry for the rebellion back then, while the father felt that his son had grown up and sensible and could provoke the feeling of the future.
Life passed to the end, the happy smile on Old Man Shi's face became eternal, his love and greatness for Shi Xiaohou, an orphan, for many years, finally had the opportunity to speak, and Shi Xiaohou also understood his love.
There is no happier thing in the world than the person you love and can understand your love.
Old man Shi passed away and left with a great and deep fatherly love.
Shi Xiaohou didn't cry, just cried silently with red eyes, and finally hugged the body of the old man who was gradually cold, crying and laughing, as if he was a madman who was insane.
Shi Xiaohou, who has lived for more than ten years, finally has a person who loves him, although he is a bad old man, but when he feels this love, the bad old man leaves.
It was as if he was destined to be alone, and even Heaven wanted to take the people who loved him away from him.
On the night when Old Man Shi left, Shimen Village was surprisingly quiet, and even Ah Huang next door did not sing to the night sky.
Chen Zixia walked in and stood there silently, looking at Shi Xiaohou, who was kneeling on the ground, with messy hair and blood-red eyes, and was inexplicably a little distressed.
She didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want to admit that she had been moved by that boy from the bottom of her bones for so many years!
Chen Zixia wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, but when those hypocritical words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and finally turned into a pale "He's gone?"
"Gone. This is the first time Shi Xiaohou has spoken so plainly to Chen Zixia, in the past, he was like a well-behaved little pug to Chen Zixia, but now, he suddenly has to be a little mature.
Shi Xiaohou walked over, picked up Old Man Shi, and then strode towards the door: "I'll go to Sakura Mountain to bury him, you wait for me at home." ”
Chen Zixia looked at Shi Xiaohou's back and nodded obediently, like a lovely little daughter-in-law.
Under the moonlight, the young man walked in the cold night breeze with the cold body of a bad old man, his eyes were very red, but there were no tears, probably dried by the cold night wind.
The gradually elongating shadow sets the loneliness infinitely.
