Chapter 111: Old Daoist

Stepping on the train back to Qindao, staring blankly at the buildings outside the window and swishing away, Su Donghuang couldn't help but be in a trance, and soon the boundless tiredness surrounded him, and he wanted to lean on the back of the chair and squint for a while, but he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

I don't know how long I slept, Su Donghuang suddenly woke up from his dream, subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, the sun had set, the light became a little dim, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was already half past seven in the evening, and there was still more than half an hour to reach the destination.

Su Donghuang leaned on the back of the chair motionless, his expression was a little trance, he had a strange dream, he dreamed that a fortune teller was telling his fortune, the fortune teller's words he remembered very clearly, just like the real thing, which made him feel a little incredible, the fortune teller said that he was a hard person, his life was strong, and it was easy to overcome the people close to him, so he was destined to be lonely in the first half of his life, but because he was born arrogant and did good deeds, everything will turn around after thirty, and life will become more and more happy.

The so-called thinking day and night, Su Donghuang knows why he has such a dream, he is not a superstitious person, but he has been thinking about one thing in the past few days, is the fortune telling really accurate? He has come all the way, and it is indeed different from ordinary children, the closest people are grandparents and aunts, if grandparents are normal birth, old age, sickness and death, and have little to do with him, then what about aunts? In addition, there are Zhao Xiaowan and Mu Yun, who obviously love each other, but they can't be together, is it also because of their hard lives, which invisibly separates them?

The dream was very chaotic, many people were crying at him, and he couldn't remember what happened, but only he clearly remembered the words of the fortune teller, Su Donghuang's heart seemed to be pressed with a stone, and he was a little out of breath, so he simply got up and came to the connection of the two carriages to breathe.

After two laps of activity, Su Donghuang's mood improved slightly, and he was about to arrive at the station, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Gao Zhihui's phone, but no one answered after calling twice in a row, and when he was the third time, he finally connected, and before he could speak, a strange female voice came from the phone, which sounded haggard: "Hello, I am Gao Zhihui's sister!" ”

Su Donghuang was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he said cautiously: "Hello, I am a friend of Gao Zhihui!" ”

"Xiaohui is still in the intensive care unit now, and I can't answer your call~~" The other party's mood was very unstable, and his voice was a little choked as he spoke.

"What's wrong with her?" Su Donghuang was taken aback and asked eagerly.

"I had a car accident last night, I have had surgery, and I haven't woken up yet, so let's talk about it later!"

"In which hospital? I'm a good friend of hers, if you need my help, you can tell me! Su Donghuang asked eagerly.

"In the Municipal People's Hospital, it's useless for you to come over, wait for two days and see if Xiaohui can come to her senses!"

The other party hung up the phone, listening to the blind voice over there, Su Donghuang's face was pale, and the whole person was shrouded in an inexplicable fear, at this moment, he seemed to feel the power of fate in the dark! Are you really a nemesis?

After getting out of the car, Su Donghuang went straight to the People's Hospital, and when he inquired in the emergency department, he learned that Gao Zhihui's body had not suffered any serious damage, and she was basically out of danger, and her life characteristics were very stable, but her brain was seriously impacted, and she didn't know when she would be able to wake up.

Su Donghuang came out of the hospital in despair, Gao Zhihui and him have not known each other for a long time, and the two are not lovers, but Gao Zhihui is one of his two most trusted friends, and the other is Su Shuhong! The friendship between the two seems to be dull, but it wasn't until Gao Zhihui's accident that Su Donghuang realized how deep this relationship was!

After Zhao Xiaowan left, although Su Donghuang didn't see anything unusual on the surface, his heart was closed, he was like a wounded beast and got up silently licking his wounds, during this time Gao Zhihui has been by his side, it seems to be whining, but in fact it is very intimate, seeing Gao Zhihui like this, Su Donghuang's heart is as uncomfortable as a knife prick.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of predicament he faced, he was never stunned, gritted his teeth and passed it, but now, his belief has been shaken, if he is really a nemesis, he always affects the people around him, no matter how strong he is, what's the use!

That night, Su Donghuang lay on the empty beach, looking up at the starry sky, his head was empty, he didn't think about anything, and fell asleep in a daze after a long time. The next day, the sky was slightly white, and the golden sunlight shone through the sparkling sea through the heavy cloud curtain, Su Donghuang woke up, squinted at the rising sun, and suddenly made a decision, there are four days to leave school, these four days, he wants to stay away from the society and the crowd, and think about how to go next.

Qinshan stretches for hundreds of kilometers, there are more than 30 large and small hills, only the beautiful scenery of the mountains behind Qindao Polytechnic is better developed, it has become a well-known tourist attraction at home and abroad, most of the remaining places are inaccessible, go up the mountain from Qindao Polytechnic University, climb all the way to the southwest, go all the way, it is said that the whole Qinshan can go from beginning to end.

Su Donghuang set off with a backpack, and after going up the mountain along the ring road, he left the crowd of people who played and watched the scenery in twos and threes, found a rugged and original ecological mountain road to continue climbing, and soon left the noisy tourists behind, and got into a dense and boundless mountain forest that was inaccessible to people.

Su Donghuang carried a steel pipe of about one meter in his hand, which could not only defend himself but also act as a crutch, although the sun was scorching at this time, the cool breeze in the mountains and forests was indeed a good place to cool down. Climbing all the way, after climbing over two mountains, Su Donghuang was also a little out of breath, he found a smooth big stone to sit down, here surrounded by dense forests, quiet and deep, staying here alone, if you are timid, you will feel a little chill in your heart, but Su Donghuang feels good, he took out mineral water, drank half a bottle in one go, and after a short rest, got up and continued to go deeper.

The night in the mountains came earlier, the sun was about to set, I ran for a whole day, and I don't know how far I ran, but this place should be the depths of Qinshan, there are very few traces of people lingering around, and there is not even a plastic bag nearby, Su Donghuang looked around, and he had to find a place to settle down before the night came, there were no fierce animals on Qinshan, but snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like couldn't stand it.

Finally, before the light in the forest completely dimmed, along the mountain spring traced back to the source, Su Donghuang climbed a mountain, where the trees are relatively scarce, covered with large smooth stones, the largest even dozens of square meters, Su Donghuang decided to spend the night here.

Nibbled a loaf of bread, ate a packet of mustard, poured a bottle of mountain spring water and drank it, at this time, the sky had completely darkened, Su Donghuang lay on the largest boulder, motionless, letting the dense darkness swallow him little by little.

In the boundless darkness, looking at the vast stars, Su Donghuang felt like being in a forgotten ancient world, the sadness and desolation in his heart could not be increased, he suddenly whispered: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening breeze blows the willow flute, the sunset outside the mountain, the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered, a pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight... ”

A children's rhyme, sung by him over and over again, the voice became louder and louder, and at the end, he was hoarse and burst into tears, Su Donghuang unscrupulously vented his pathos, here, he was not worried about being heard, and no one would hear it.

The deep valley was a natural megaphone, which carried his hoarse and mournful singing far away, enduring, as if it had traveled through time and space, and I don't know if it could be conveyed to the other side of fate, so that this damn master of fate could hear it!

"I'm going to grass you* mom! What can you do with me?! Su Donghuang held the steel pipe and pointed at God and shouted viciously.

"Don't scold, it can't hear it!" God didn't answer, but a voice came from above him.

Su Donghuang turned over and stood up, looking behind him vigilantly, and in the shadows, there was a figure standing on the stone over there.

"I didn't want to disturb you, but your singing voice is too pathetic~~" The person who came said softly, listening to the voice is quite old.

"Did I disturb you, you have been living here?" Su Donghuang was still a little surprised, he heard that there were cultivators in the depths of Qinshan, and he always thought it was a legend, but he didn't expect it to be true! He doesn't think that this person is as fine as himself, venting in the deep mountains and old forests!

"I'm in the Taoist temple below, if you don't dislike it, you can go there for one night~~" The voice of the person who came was very gentle, and it sounded reassuring.

"Then bother you!" Su Donghuang packed up his things and followed behind the old man, watching him jump step by step, his body was vigorous, Su Donghuang was a little unsure whether this was an old man or a middle-aged man.

The Taoist temple is very small, just below the top of the mountain on a flat land of dozens of square meters, subjectively is a naturally formed large cave, there is a small stone house on both sides, and there is a large incense burner in the center of the flat land, which is all about the Taoist temple.

The stone house on the right was lit up with a dim oil lamp, and with the faint light, Su Donghuang finally saw clearly that this was an old Taoist priest with gray hair, the old man was in good spirits, his waist was straight, and he couldn't see the slightest old state.

The old Taoist priest led Su Donghuang in, the stone house was very simple, a simple and simple wooden bed, a stone table, two wooden benches, and a wooden box in the corner.

"Sit casually, I'll get you something to eat~~" The old Taoist priest was wearing a washed white Taoist robe, his eyes were very bright, he looked at Su Donghuang, and said very kindly.

"No need, thank you, I ate it!" Su Donghuang hurriedly said.

"I've been here for more than 30 years, and there are few visitors on weekdays, and it's the first time I've come at night~~" The old Taoist priest said with a smile.

"I'm bothering you to clean up~~" Su Donghuang was a little embarrassed.

"What's not to do? It's just that you're used to being quiet, why did you come here alone at night? ”

"Scatter your heart~~" Su Dong smiled desolately.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said nothing, Su Donghuang saw that he was not like a mortal, and suddenly asked with some recklessness: "Do you know how to tell fortunes?" ”

"What do you want to count?" The old Taoist priest asked with a smile, his gaze was very deep, and he seemed to be able to see through Su Donghuang.

"Count what my life is~~"

"Fortune telling, believe it or not, everything is man-made, but there are traces to follow, seeing is fate, today I will make an exception to help you calculate, stretch out your hand!"

The old Taoist priest looked at Su Donghuang's palmistry, and muttered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "You were born in the cold land, born on November 17 of the lunar calendar, your life is strong, your childhood is hard, your fortune is quite small, and you have a certain restraint effect on the neighbors around you. ”

"Is there a way to crack it?" It turned out to be exactly the same as in the dream, Su Donghuang asked eagerly as if he had found a savior.

"Fate is born to follow, but things are man-made, the trajectory of life development can be changed, from your life, the restraint is very obvious, but from your palmistry, this restraint has been greatly weakened, which has a great relationship with your optimistic and open-minded, benevolent temperament, if you are a wicked person, this restraint will become worse! I see that you breathe calmly, relax to a certain extent, you should practice martial arts since childhood, and you can also see from your palmistry that you have had a lot of vicious fights, and it is understandable to act chivalrous, but you must not nourish your anger! ”

"I see!" Su Dong is desolate and convinced.

"There will be a lot of noble people in your life, with your talent, it is easy to want to soar, but you are a blessed person, these favors can not be afforded, if you accept them all, most of the people around you will not die well, so you have to keep a low profile, not eye-catching, it is good to play a pig and eat a tiger in peace! The so-called blessing is only relatively speaking, after thirty, you will live better than most people! ”

"What should I do?"

"Officialdom, shopping malls, and academic fields, it's best not to step in, the workplace is the most suitable for you! Well, that's all I can say to you, remember one word, stay at peace and stay true to your heart! ”

That night, Su Donghuang tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time, he was not a superstitious person, but he firmly believed in the words of the old Taoist, and after a long time, he finally figured out how to go next.

Early the next morning, Su Donghuang said goodbye to the old Taoist priest and left, he wanted to return to reality.

Looking at Su Donghuang's back, the old Taoist priest sighed: "It's a pity, it's a generation of heroes, but it's too much love and righteousness!" The old Taoist priest saw very clearly, even if he didn't say anything about himself, Su Donghuang would make the same choice, he just helped him a small favor, so that he would take fewer detours.
