Chapter 3: Apprentice Don't be lazy and practice.
I can do it alone. β
She shook her head.
"You don't have to pity me, I will climb the ladder to be a god, and I won't stay here."
"Yes, yes, Ran Xin will definitely climb the ladder and become a god-"
The boy nodded perfunctorily, patting her head and looking at her seriously.
"But I don't pity you, it's just that you're too young, and it's hard to live alone, and it just so happens that I'm also alone, so isn't it good for us to work together? Don't worry, I'll cook deliciously, and I'm sure you'll linger once you eat it. β
Provided that I have something to do.
"It won't be hard."
She continued to shake her head.
"I'll be fine alone."
β¦β¦ Why is this girl so stubborn?
The young man was a little helpless, slapped her on the skull and gritted his teeth.
"I've got the final say! You're small and not negotiable! Wait until you're my age! In short, either move to your house or you move to mine, the choice is yours! At this time, I will go to find someone to help arrange grandpa's funeral, and you hurry up to wash it, and then keep a watch for grandpa, go quickly, like a little loach, and it will not slip away. β
After saying this, the young man went out and stood outside the courtyard, talking to the adults, and shook his head with a smile.
[It is said that feng shui raises people, this ancient feng shui is simple, I can't support myself and I want to adopt a little cub, this heart, it's really sincereββ, hey, isn't he your soul lamp? This kid looks very good~]
"It's not."
Si Ruan shook his head, went to the well in the courtyard to fetch water, and rushed directly to his head, so that the young man standing at the door could take a look, and his shocked face changed, and he ran over with a swish, snatched the bucket, took off his clothes and wrapped her in anger and scolded her.
"Ranxin! Are you crazy? It's a cold day! What cold water to shower? Won't boil without hot water? What should I do if I get sick? Grandpa just left, you won't let him live in peace, right? β
ββ¦β¦β
She looked at this startled, angry young man, but with worry in his eyes, and looked at him silently.
"I won't get sick, you let go, if you don't let go, I'll beat you."
"Hey! You little girl with no conscience! β
The boy laughed angrily, picked her up, carried her to the kitchen, piled her up on the fire, boiled hot water in the pot, and then poked her skull viciously.
"You hit me and try it! If you dare to hit me, you will be held by me for the rest of your life, don't want to get rid of it! β
Si Ruan: "......" Does this kid not understand human speech?
System: "[......] the pretty boy!" Keep up the good work~, I'm optimistic about you~
As if he was afraid that she would run outside to pour cold water again, the boy stood at the door of the kitchen, watched the water boil, and then went out and brought a large bucket outside, mixed it with some cold water, scooped some hot water out, and tested the temperature before looking at her.
"Latch the door, wash it well, heat the water when it's cold, add cold water when it's hot, and I'm out."
β¦β¦ Seeing him go out and close the door, Si Ruan walked over and latched the door and began to undress and take a shower.
When she came out of the coffin, the grandfather had already put the coffin in the middle of the hall, and the young man wrapped a white cloth around his head, knelt before the spirit and burned the paper, and when he saw her come out, he beckoned to her.
"Come here, keep a wake for grandpa, and bury him tomorrow morning."
When he said this, he paused, sighed, wrapped Si Ruan in a white cloth, and handed her some paper, with some complications in his eyebrows.
"According to the rules, it is usually buried three days later, but the day after tomorrow, the county lord marries a concubine, and it is not good to collide, so tomorrow, grandpa will not blame you."
"Hmm."
She nodded, and the little one, crouched on the ground, and burned paper in the brazier.
Seeing that she didn't kneel, the young man didn't say anything, after all, this girl was born with a lack of roots, no matter what she did, she liked to rush to the end in one go, even if she was hit on the head and bled out, she didn't know how to turn back.
For this reason, Grandpa Ran was not less worried when he was alive, but he never stopped her, just followed her, and when she was tired of running, bumping, and couldn't get up, he would pick her up and carry her home.
The grandfather and grandson have been like this for several years, but they never thought that Grandpa Ran would suddenly get sick, and he was so sick that he didn't have it all of a sudden, and this girl, who was only five years old after this year, was really still a child.
Because of her stubborn personality, she doesn't listen to persuasion, she doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't lie, so that the children in the county don't like to play with her, and they bully her from time to time, but the adults like her a lot.
Who makes this child well-behaved and beautiful, it is pleasing to the eye, especially when this child knows that it hurts at a young age, obviously he is still a child, but after knowing that his grandfather is so sick that only the gods can save his life, he began to climb the ladder regardless of it, this climb is more than half a year, and he climbs rain or shine every day.
It's just that every time I can't climb a few floors and falls, I fall into the mud pit, and I almost suffocate to death a few times, even so, I still haven't given up, a stupid and silly child like her is very rare, just like himself when he was a child, how can he bear her to experience some bad things again?
No matter what others say about him, he just wants to take care of this little girl, which can be regarded as making up for his loneliness and despair when he was a child.
His eyes were a little red, and the young man lowered his eyes, and together with Si Ruan, threw paper into the brazier.
Following.
Several men came to help carry the coffin, and the boy handed her a stick with a white note.
"Take it, let's go ahead and follow me."
So saying, he took a small basket with a lot of paper like copper coins, and threw it all the way to the cemetery, where the men put the coffin, filled it with earth, and finished the work.
After the men left, the young man pulled Si Ruan to squat in front of the tombstone to light incense and burn paper, and looked at the tombstone in a daze.
"You say, do all those who die go to hell?"
"Yes."
His seemingly unconscious murmur made the little girl on the side nod, but it made the young man laugh.
"You know what I'm talking about? You're right, huh? β
"When people die, they all go to hell."
The little girl looked at the stone tablet and spoke slowly.
"Not only man, but all living beings as long as they die, they must go to hell, settle the debts of their lives, make amends for the light, and accept punishment for the heavy."
β¦β¦ She said such a blank glance that the boy was in a bad mood to want to argue with her, and he blinked.
"Then according to what you said, is there still a debt? So why do they go to hell? β
"It's not."
She picked up the sacrificial nest placed in front of the tombstone, and took a bite before the young man could stop her, while eating one:
"As long as all living beings have debts, so they need to go to hell to settle the settlement, and when the result of the settlement is positive, you will be sent to where you want to go according to your wishes, and the rest will stay in hell until the debt repayment is completed, and then you can enter the reincarnation."
β¦β¦ It's like the truth.
The corners of the boy's mouth twitched.
But somehow, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
