001 Retirement

Next Chapter

When I was six years old, my grandfather ordered me a baby kiss.

That day, for the first time, I saw dozens of helicopters hovering over my home......

On the village road leading to my home, there are big cars and luxury cars that I have never seen before, and I heard the village chief say that our small mountain village knows for the first time what is called endless traffic and impassable!

The little girl and I sat obediently on either side of my grandfather with eyes like black grapes.

Every time someone came, they had to say hello to my grandfather, call Mr. Zhang Sheng, and then continue to say hello to me and the little girl, and by the way, give us gifts.

Each of them had an entourage, walked in a hurry, and dressed like nobles living in a big city.

I even saw the village chief, who had once commanded in my house, grovel in front of one of them, and his waist was not straightened.

But that person, when he came to my grandfather, had to bow down.

He even took the initiative to tell me a joke and wanted to give me a big house, what kind of riverside villa it was, but my grandfather waved his hand, and he nodded and retreated.

Later, I saw on TV that the man with a large entourage was full of spirits and humor on the TV, and every time he said a word, the people around him would applaud loudly, and some people even affectionately called him Daddy Luo.

I only knew then that that person turned out to be the richest man in our local area, and he was a big man who coughed and the entire Qingzhou Province was shocked!

……

I vividly remember that my grandfather only set up six tables that day.

However, the big people who made the village chief grovel just now are not qualified to sit down.

They can only stand behind a desk.

And even so, they did not complain.

……

Those who were able to take their seats were those who came just before the feast began.

These people are dressed very strangely, some of them are like chivalrous people in costume TV series, handsome and radiant.

There are also wide robes and wide embroidery, fairy wind bones, just like those old immortals in the New Year's paintings.

One of the fairy sisters in it is the best-looking I have ever seen, ten thousand times better than the sixth aunt who is known as the most beautiful in the village!

This group of people only occupies one table.

The second wave of people came.

But they are grizzled, some of them have sharp-beaked monkey gills, some of them are five big and three thick, most of them walk up and twist and swing, as if they can't walk with human bodies, except for one of the sisters, she is so beautiful, as soon as she appears, I see all the men and women, I can't help but look at her, as if she has flowers on her.

But at this moment, the little girl next to me suddenly shouted, "Humph! I'm going to be prettier than you when I grow up! ”

Everyone laughed, and I laughed too.

The little girl is indeed pink-carved, her eyes are round and bright, like a black grape, her ears are delicate and transparent, and you can even see capillaries, her nose is small and exquisite, and her lips are red.

But at best, it's cute, and it's not as good as that sister.

Because it's a kind of heartbeat that just looks at it, and it can't suppress the beating of the heart, as if it can provoke the most itchy part of people's hearts.

Later, grandpa shouted, put away your commotion.

The woman had become a lot more ordinary, but even so, she was not far behind the fairy sister at the next table, who was ten thousand times more beautiful than ordinary people.

The third table came with a bunch of flirtatious weirdos!

The reason why they are light and fluttery is that the men among them are all in black skirts, and the women are all in white skirts, and when they walk, they don't seem to use their feet, but in a fluttering way.

In addition, each of their faces is very white, and when I give a gift, I clearly feel the coldness around me.

They didn't say anything when they came, and at the sign of my grandfather's eyes, they went straight to the third table.

At the fourth table, there was a group of gods chattering, not dressed at all, and some were wearing beggar's clothes.

Some of them held an abacus, some held a flag, and some held a large compass. When they came in through the entrance, they had to pause every step they took, ping-pong and count, and when they finally came in front of me, it was exactly seven steps.

One of them impressed me the most, because he was two and a half meters tall, and he could probably touch the beams of my house with his hand, and he was also carrying a black coffin!

No one said anything about expelling them, though, and after making eye contact with my grandfather, they took a seat at the fourth table.

Table 5......

It was near my grandfather's left-hand side, and the table near me, it was empty, but there was my parents' tablet.

Table 6......

is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and a phoenix-eyed woman with a very graceful bearing. The man's name is Lu Chenhai, the woman's name is Liu Mei, and the two of them are the parents of the little girl.

……

"Everyone's here?"

Grandpa was wearing a black and gold-patterned robe that day, cleared his throat, and then slowly got up.

When I saw the strange people sitting at the six tables, I couldn't help but look solemn, with my back straight, and my grandfather's eyes staring sharply.

My grandfather didn't care.

just continued: "I, Zhang Sheng, from birth to today, just one Jiazi, today is not only the day I know the destiny of heaven, but also the time when I close the mountain and retire. ”

"Coincidentally, my grandson is six years old this year, and I am also looking for a little girl, who will be the daughter-in-law of my Zhang family when she grows up in the future."

"Everyone can come today because it gives me a holy face."

"In the future, I Zhang Sheng will not come out of the door, and the only purpose in the world is to bless my Zhang family's incense and ensure that it will never be extinguished!"

After Grandpa finished speaking, someone followed him back.

"Old Man Zhang, naturally we will not doubt your words. However, they are so special that even you can't guarantee their growth. ”

"Therefore, we are here today to agree with you and see if we can discuss a covenant that everyone agrees on."

In this way, the young me and the little girl at that time sat on the chair in ignorance, listening to them talk about the heavenly words in the clouds and fog.

We don't understand at all.

I only vaguely remember that day, my grandfather had a big quarrel with them.

Later, for some unknown reason, we fell asleep.

In my dream, I dreamed that I was in a deserted wilderness with the little girl, but it was raining heavily in the sky, and the thunder was rolling, and we endured the wind and rain, and wept loudly.

And grandpa didn't know when, like a patron saint, stood in front of us and took us home.

That's the end of the dream.

When I woke up, the strange guests who didn't know where they came from were all gone.

It's just that all along, there has only been a little girl in my grandfather's house.

Only then did I know that her name was Lu Qingyi.

Grandpa said that she was going to grow up with me and then marry me as an adult.

……

In the six years since then, Lu Qingyi and I first learned to write with my grandfather, who said that this is to practice calligraphy.

In the past three months, Lu Qingyi and I have made amazing progress, my font is strong and powerful, like a hidden dragon and tiger, and the little girl's font is judged by my grandfather as a beautiful pen and ink and an aura inside.

From that day on, my grandfather told us that we didn't need to practice calligraphy.

Then he began to teach us to draw some crooked and very complicated things, and later I learned that that thing, called Yin Fu, was the secret of my Zhang family.

It's just learning on top of the Yin Fu, but Lu Qingyi completely threw me away, she seems to be born to know it, and she understands it when she sees it.

Later, my grandfather prepared a lot of books for her, which I looked like had a headache, and he asked Lu Qingyi not only to memorize them backwards, but also to write them down skillfully.

Among the fonts that I don't know much, I know the names of those books, "Taiqing Jade Mantra", "Daomen Eight Divine Mantras", "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra......

In this way, six years later, I was twelve years old, and Lu Qingyi was also twelve years old.

On this day, my grandfather called us into the house and said that his 6th birthday had arrived.

As the old saying goes, six or six times are smooth, but grandpa said that his life was not smooth.

He took a sip of wine, and his vicissitudes of life stopped on me, containing bitterness.

Grandpa drank a lot of wine that night and said a lot of things.

He said that he was sorry for me and made me born without parents.

He also told me that it was extremely difficult for me to come to this world alive.

He wants me to live well.

But there are more people who want me to die!

Because, in front of me, there were two older brothers, but they died before they were born.

My parents, on the day I was born, also disappeared one after another, supposedly, so that my grandfather could take me away......

Grandpa spoke, the corners of his eyes wet.

At the time, I didn't understand why the elderly were so sentimental.

It was only when my grandfather told me a piece of news that I realized what bitterness is.

Tomorrow, Lu Qingyi's parents will come and take her home.

Lu Qingyi, who grew up with me, is about to leave me and go to live in her own house......

After I knew the news, I glanced at Lu Qingyi, she was eating the rice in the bowl and didn't even look at me.

"What to eat?"

In a fit of rage, I slammed the bowl on the table and went back to my room, never saying a word to her again.

At a young age, I already knew what it meant to be reluctant.

The next day, a car that looked extremely expensive stopped in front of my house early.

The people in the car, in suits and leather shoes, have serious and gloomy eyebrows.

Our two families are obviously in-laws, but this time, they didn't even enter my house.

They sat in the car, didn't even say hello to their grandfather, and waited for their little daughter to get in the car.

From that day on, I knew what parting was.

Parting, parting, is that once you leave, you will never see each other again......

When Lu Qingyi left, she looked at me blankly with blinking eyes, and I ignored her.

Just watching the black car go farther and farther, I finally couldn't help it, ran after it, and shouted at her back.

"You finally left, and the good things will be mine alone in the future, and they won't be left to you!"

"Never again!"

When I had said that, I ran back to my room, covered myself with the quilt, and cried loudly......
