Chapter 36: The Limit of Heaven
I hurriedly chased after me and asked, "Master, why are you wearing glasses?" ”
"Master, are you presbyopia?"
"Master, where are you going?"
"Master! Ignore me! ”
"Master......"
Just as I was chattering about the crazy old man, the crazy old man suddenly stopped, glared back at me, and said, "Shut up! If you make any more noise, I won't take you to play! ”
After saying that, the crazy old man smiled slyly, but unfortunately he had already turned back at that time, and I didn't see it.
But the crazy old man's sentence of taking me to play really attracted me.
You know, since I got home, I have a lot of tasks every day, and the occasional entertainment is to watch TV at home and play a few games of chess with the crazy old man.
But it's no wonder that the city is different from what I imagined.
In previous years, during the holidays, after I finished my homework and did my homework, I could go into the water with my friends in the village to fish, and go up the mountain to climb trees to play. The kids in the city seem to have endless homework, and I rarely see kids playing downstairs at home.
This also allows me to have fun at home.
This old man has changed sex today? After you got to the city, you said you wanted to take me to play for the first time?
I have to say, I'm really excited. Hurriedly ran home to take a shower and change clothes.
I arrived home with the crazy old man, and when I entered the door, I rushed into the bathroom, and the crazy old man and my mother were muttering something. I could vaguely hear my mom say, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
I don't know what my mom meant, but it doesn't stop me from happily taking a shower and getting ready to go out with the crazy old man to "let off steam"!
After taking a shower, I was about to change my clothes when my mom came in.
"Monkey, I'm wearing this today."
I looked at the set of clothes in my mother's hand, a little speechless.
What kind of clothes is that? A suit that is exactly the same as the crazy old man!
Later I found out that it was made for me by the crazy old man a few days ago! I said how crazy the old man kept measuring me with a tape measure in the past few days.
The black suit was put on with my mother's forced "help". Then my mom pulled me into the bathroom, dried my hair, and gave me mousse too!
I looked at me in the mirror, like a crazy old man, with a big hard and shiny back that was mousse straightened.
I was about to cry.
Although I was still young at the time, I didn't pay much attention to my appearance, but in the mirror, I was dressed in a black suit, with a big back, and a childish face.
The crazy old man was lying on the sofa smoking his cigarette tube, looking like a man in the old days, lying on a cigarette bed and smoking "opium".
When I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room, the crazy old man grunted and sat up.
He looked me up and down for a long time, then took out his handkerchief, folded it into a triangle and put it in my chest pocket, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go." ”
When I went out, I found a Hongqi sedan waiting for us downstairs.
When I saw this car, I immediately felt much better.
In the car, I asked, "Master, where are we going to play when we dress like this?" ”
"Go meet your brothers and sisters."
"I still have brothers and sisters?" I asked, surprised.
The crazy old man knocked me on the head with a chestnut with his backhand, and roared, "Where did you go to this basic study?" The fate of the mountain doctor is divined, we are the descendants of the mountain character line, what about the other four veins? No heirs? ”
I rubbed my head, glanced at the crazy old man, and said aggrievedly, "How do I know, you didn't tell me." ”
Hearing me say this, the mad old man raised his hand again, ready to bring another chestnut to my head.
I closed my eyes, my whole body tensed, ready for this storm. But who knows, there was no movement for half a day.
I cautiously opened my eyes, only to see the deep gaze of the mad old man.
His hand stayed in mid-air, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, he sighed, put his hand down, took out his cigarette holder, lit it, took a puff and said, "Zhengyi, it's not that if I don't say it, you can't think of it......"
Speaking of which, I always feel that the crazy old man has nothing to say.
Sure enough, he touched my head, the place where he had just been knocked out, and continued, "Zhengyi, you should grow up quickly." ”
Grow up soon? This sentence sounds familiar to me, and in my memory, I remember that the crazy old man once said the same thing to me.
With a strong memory, I remembered the last time the crazy old man said this, and it was also after I smoked it.
So my little head suddenly had a very magical understanding of this sentence: "Yes, you can't knock my chestnuts anymore when I grow up!" ”
The crazy old man looked at me in surprise, and his originally solemn expression gradually became angry, and he yelled at me, "Fart! I am your master, and even if you live to be eighty years old, you will still be my apprentice! It is only natural for the master to beat the apprentice! ”
"Master, I'm eighty years old, and you're over a hundred years old, can you still move me?" I had a rare brain flexibility and said after making additions in my mind.
The crazy old man gave me a blank look and said, "The little kid doesn't understand anything. Taoism will maintain health, although the resources of this era are tight, but if you have the heart to find it, some longevity medicinal materials can still be found. It's a fart to live to be over a hundred years old! A Taoist priest with profound skills and good health has long exceeded the limit of one hundred and forty-nine years old! ”
What? One hundred and forty-nine years old? Is this crazy old man really?
"Master, what is the Heavenly Limit?"
"It is the way of heaven that limits the life span of people. Didn't I teach you before that animals can practice if they have a great opportunity, and when they reach a certain level, they need to survive the thunderstorm before they can continue to practice? It's the same with people. When a person lives to be one hundred and forty-nine years old, in the following year, the heavenly limit will come. If you spend it, your life will be extended. Master patiently explained to me.
"Master, is the Heavenly Limit also a thunderstorm?"
"There is no fixed form of the limit, car accidents, natural disasters, diseases, mood and so on are all possible."
I didn't ask any more questions because I couldn't quite understand what Master said.
I can understand the car accident or something, and the mood is ...... How could this kind of invisible, ungraspable thing become the limit of heaven?
The crazy old man seemed to see my doubts, and said: "Heaven is not only a form of natural and man-made disasters, but more importantly, life, whether it is good or not, can also become a knife to end life." And if the mood is not good, the knife will be unsheathed. ”
Seeing that I still had a confused expression, the crazy old man shook his head and said, "When you grow up, you will understand." ”
In fact, at this point, we arrived at our destination, but the crazy old man insisted on smoking the bag of cigarettes in the car, and I could only accompany him in the car.
After a while, I started to get restless. Because it's really quiet in the car, and the atmosphere is a little weird!
The crazy old man didn't speak, he smoked with his head covered, so that there was a driver in the car besides me. The driver looked at his nose and nose, and his nose and mouth did not move.
And I was smacking the words that the crazy old man had just said about my state of mind, when suddenly my mind turned and I was distracted. Because I remembered another thing, that is, this time in the car, I actually didn't get motion sickness!
I turned my head excitedly, wanting to tell the crazy old man about it. Then I saw the crazy old man looking out of the car window, with the pipe on his mouth and smoking, his expression was very complicated, and I couldn't tell.
Seeing the state of the crazy old man, I swallowed back the words that came to my mouth.
I was bored and had to roll down the window and poke my head out to look outside.
