Chapter Seventy-Seven: Raising the soup to stop boiling
The jailer brought a thick blanket and placed it in our cell. He also put on winter clothes on his body, and after watching us for so many days, he also let down his guard and pulled us out to let us wash and let loose.
Hu Ying spoke: "Jailer, there is something to trouble you, we are in winter, and we want to go to a hot spring with this girl and change into clean clothes." ”
The jailer turned the key with one finger, and the key made a rattling sound, and we all looked at his face calmly.
The jailer said, "You're not going to run away, are you?" ”
I said, "If you hadn't fled, wouldn't you have fled?" "Actually, I didn't use my brain when I spoke, I just said what I wanted to say, but I didn't know if it was malicious to others.
He pouted and said angrily, "Shut up, you don't have to speak." ”
Hu Ying shrugged helplessly and still held on to his patience: "We won't escape, we want them to invite us out." ”
The jailer carried the bench and propped it up at the end of the railing that locked us, crossed Erlang's legs and began to whistle: "This prison has been empty for a long time, and it is unheard of to enter the fox, and now you have to be invited out, this ...... Hehe...... Idiots talk in their dreams. ”
His jacket was wrapped around his body, holding it tightly, he smiled and then raised his face: "I'm not cold anyway." ”
I wrapped the blanket he had sent me around and shivered, "You can do it." ”
On weekdays, I don't like to ask for help, and I am very low-faced, but one day you will know that face is not valuable, and people who are too strong to support face are doomed to pain, because you have a swollen face by yourself.
Hu Ying also begged: "Seeing that you are a good person, let us go." ”
The jailer touched his face, as if he hadn't woken up: "Hey, girl, to be honest, since the first time I saw you, I thought you were very much like an old friend of mine." As he spoke, he took out a hairpin from his bosom, a small flower carved from jade, a very common pattern, and the streets were full of this design. But when he held it in his stout hands, his eyes were full of tenderness.
When the jailer met Mei'er, it was the rainy season. She was dressed in white, holding an umbrella with red plums on a white background, standing on the gravel road of the fox clan.
Just as he turned around and reached out to test the rain, he met the jailer's eye, and the jailer looked at it like that.
I think I know about the gravel road, where is there a rockery, and there is a small lake, the lake is full of water plants such as lotus duckweed, and the things must be reversed, and if there are too many, it will be chaotic. There's no beauty, that's how I feel, I don't know about others.
The goose warm stone under his feet is still very awkward. But one of the advantages of rainy days is that there is no water storage on the top, so you don't have to worry about your shoes getting wet.
But whenever you meet, there is no cause but effect, and the lucky are favored, which is a good ending. The unlucky ones will take a long time to heal.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he squinted as he recalled. You can tell that he is an unlucky guy.
At the beginning, he said that she talked a lot, but he wrote very hastily, just saying: Later, I often think of her.
I looked at him in surprise, but didn't ask any more.
I have to say that there are few people in the world who love and stay together, if you don't believe it, you are either too lucky, or you haven't grown up. I have been the king of Hades in the underworld for many years, and the emotional regrets at the end are more than satisfying.
Every day, with a sincere heart, I clasp my hands and put them on my heart, begging God to abuse me, hoping that I am the lucky one. In fact, there should be no only feelings in life, but it can't be said that if you are beaten to death with a stick, you really don't want feelings.
I was still wandering in prayer when I heard dishes colliding and a man choked up and sobbed.
Hu Ying said: "Yiren has passed away...... her words were not finished, and Xu found a clue that was inappropriate.
He was still taking the food that he didn't know when, and the side dishes were placed on the ground, but there were three pairs of dishes and chopsticks inside.
She died, how do you make him wait, life is a hopeless boil.
He placed it in front of us in turn: "Actually, I am alone, Mei'er and I will stay together in this hell later, the prison is empty, and we can't abandon it, but with her to accompany me, I don't think it's boring, until she ...... Ay. ”
I could only force a smile and tell him: "It's okay, it will pass eventually, and there are not only plum blossoms in the world, and I think the hibiscus blooms quite well." ”
I want to slap myself when I say this, because it's useless, and his comfort is too redundant. It's better than saying nothing. That would be embarrassing.
He looked at me coldly.
I was like five thunderbolts, and the eyes and expressions were obvious and said: You know a fart, get away.
I hugged some of the blankets on my body in embarrassment, shrunk my legs, then picked up the rice, picked up the chopsticks, and said: I'm not suitable for talking, let's eat.
He said, "You can eat it too."
I:......
We were all self-servants, but we didn't say a word. I said, "That's a delicious dish today."
He said, "You can't eat to stop you." ”
This time I didn't fight back, there is no need to fight with a low person, it is not enough to send charcoal in the snow, it is better not to add fuel to the fire.
Earlier, my father sent me to the world to experience the school, and the gentleman in it talked about "Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Liu Xuan's Biography": "Yang soup to stop boiling, so that it is not scorched." ”
To stop the boiling of the soup, literally: it is to scoop the boiling water with a spoon and then pour it back.
The gentleman smiled elegantly: "You are a new student, let's talk about the essence of this word." ”
I stood up, confident and said, "That's the solution." ”
The gentleman was still laughing: "That's half right, the water in your house is boiling, and my mother will scoop the soup with a spoon and pour it back, right?" ”
I nodded.
He continued: "Well, and then that soup is still boiling. ”
I was confused but nodded.
He smiled, came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Sit down, in essence, the soup is still boiling, and it's still useless." So, what Yang Tang said was that what he did was fruitless, but he was still doing it. ”
Then after explaining, we began to shake our heads again: raise the soup to stop boiling, so that it does not burn.
I know the word more clearly today, and what I used to know is now clear. My words were tantamount to raising the soup to stop the boiling boil.
But there is almost no solution to the matter, so we can only ignore it, and then continue to deceive ourselves and do something happy, put it aside in the deepest part of our hearts, and after seeing the light for a long time, we may forget it.
In fact, we can't ask others, we better demand ourselves. My mind was running at a high speed, and somehow I thought of the most temperamental Xian'e in the underworld, she was the teacher who taught the etiquette of the big and small immortals in the underworld.
She said: "It is wrong for people who know etiquette to know what to do, but others may not know it, and if you rely on your own knowledge to teach others, it will be against the original intention of etiquette." She smiled sweetly: "Etiquette is to restrain oneself, not to restrain others." ”
I can't say he's wrong, I can only keep correcting myself, be cautious in my words and deeds, and make sure I'm good.
A lot of troublesome things can be explained from a different point of view. It's not about the thing itself, it's about what you think.
I still recognize Zhu Xi in the mortal world, and I am also idealistic. But a little different from him, I always think that the heart is the primordial. Firmness is especially important. Of course, if you are a little sophistry, you will definitely say, then you think about it, and you think hard that I want a house, and suddenly the tall building rises to the ground. That's not what I mean, my idealism is that if you are firm enough in your heart, you won't just want to not act, but if you are firm enough, you will be firm in your actions, and it is always useful to work hard in everything.
I put down the dishes and chopsticks in silence and sat facing the wall. Hu Ying said: Don't be angry, the jailer is in a bad mood, I can't help you speak, after all, there is really no solution to his affairs.
I nodded: "It's okay, I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about life." ”
Hu Ying smiled: "What do you think?" ”
I solemnly said: "I think of a lot of things related to his affairs, you think that the eight poles can't be beaten, but for me, it is enough for me to think for a long, long time." ”
We both sat on the floor wrapped in blankets, like Maitreya Buddha. She leaned closer to me and sighed into her hand, "It's so cold, let's get warmer closer." ”
I immediately writhed closer like a caterpillar: "Mmmm, this is called huddle warmth." ”
We laughed.
I looked up and saw that there were droplets of water seeping down the high windows, but there was still a little snow left.
"No wonder it's cold, it's not cold when it's snowing, it's cold when it's snowing." I sighed.
She also looked up: "It's sunny, it's good." ”
I don't know the time, it goes fast, you suddenly realize that it has been wasted for a long time, and then you wake up in a daze, and you start to panic, time because of your cherishment, go faster.
Before I knew it, it was winter, and then I began to panic, and maybe tomorrow when I woke up, I would have gray hair.
……
The jailer somehow had a whim, and before we woke up, we were blown up by his 'index finger demon demon'.
The sound of the piano is not melodious, it is very harsh.
We had no choice but to hold on to the blankets on our bodies, bow our heads and sigh, and continue listening.
He walked up to us with the piano in his arms, and we all smiled back.
It was as if it was a dream yesterday: "Haha, how is my craft?" ”
Hu Ying smiled and said, "It's not very good, but it must be because of rustiness." ”
He pursed his lips: "Where can I play this piano, Mei'er can play, I don't want this piano to rust, see if you can, I plan to give it for her." ”
Keeping it is also seeing things and thinking about people, and keeping it is also empty and hateful, I didn't understand why those fairies in the underworld who had broken feelings like to throw good things, but now I understand.
Growing up is to understand everything you don't understand, and everyone is the same.
Hu Ying said, "I won't." ”
I said, "I will, but I don't want you in vain, I'll exchange something inconspicuous, don't dislike it." "I knew that even if I asked for the only artifact of the Nine Heavens, it would not be worthy of the harp in front of him. The value of something is never about itself, but also about what you want, just like if you like someone, the most precious thing is the mood you like. An inappropriate metaphor goes: a house of gold and silver is not as good as your own dog house.
He was very satisfied when he heard this, and didn't scold me again: "Uh-huh, that's it." ”
