Chapter 79 Ordinary people, mediocre life
That day, Bai Zhi's spirit was very good, and he told Gu Xiuyuan a lot of his previous stories, but he didn't mention the little widow under the mountain. So much so that Gu Xiuyuan kept thinking when he grew up, was that woman the person he loved? Gu Xiuyuan didn't learn the truth until he grew up, that day the little widow had a heart attack, and he just saved her life.
But he never argued anything for himself, and left the door with a word, perhaps in his eyes, these were as light as a feather. No one knows that this Taoist priest who has been doing his job all day long has always had a long-cherished wish, he has traveled all over the mountains and rivers, read a lot of books, just to revitalize the Taoist sect that expelled him again, and carry the last wish of his ancestors, so that all living beings in the world can cultivate the immortal path and get rid of the sea of suffering.
Pity...... What a pity......
He laughed self-deprecatingly: "In the future, you, you must not learn from me to live such a failure, good people can't do it, and bad people don't count." A lifetime of mediocrity accomplishes nothing. ”
No, at least in Gu Xiuyuan's eyes, he is a person who is greater than Master and Tianxiangjun.
The twilight is far away, and there is no world in the world.
Bai Zhi died at the time of the summer solstice.
That day, Bai Zhifei was clamoring to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so Gu Xiuyuan ran to the bottom of the mountain to buy them for him. And when Gu Xiuyuan came back, Liu Changsheng said that he was already gone.
The little Gu Xiuyuan never cried again from that day. With a pair of small hands, he dug a grave under the pear blossom tree and buried Bai Zhi. Even though his fingers were stained with blood, not a single tear had fallen. After all, Uncle Shi loved to laugh so much when he was alive, and he hated to see himself cry the most.
As he dig, he thought to himself, Master said that a person will only be relieved to die when he sees the person closest to him before he dies. Gu Xiuyuan thought that he was definitely not the most important person in his heart.
As for the content of "Sitting and Forgetting", Bai Zhi did not recall it until he died.
Bai Zhi always laughed at himself: Ordinary people, mediocre life. But even Liu Changsheng thinks that he is so amazing and brilliant, even if he dies, he should be as gorgeous as an epiphany, martyrdom for his dreams, and die tragically. But he was just like this, lingering, little by little, drying up and dying.
He still wonders, is Bai Zhi's heart unwilling? Is there hatred? He didn't know, never did.
Without a noisy person, the Palace of Eternal Life is as quiet and lonely as it once was. Gu Xiuyuan often dreamed of the picturesque Daojun dressed in aqua blue feathers.
When he woke up, he didn't cry heartbreakingly, he just wanted to see the person in his dream again.
On Chinese New Year's Eve just before Mu Zisu came, he led the rice balls through the town and saw a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, and remembered that the first time he ate sweet potatoes was bought for him. In the cold winter, he held the fresh, hot, sweet and delicious sweet potatoes and ate them deliciously, and his cold body instantly warmed up. After Gu Xiuyuan ate it for the first time, he said that it was his beloved.
When Bai Zhi was seriously ill, he would run down the mountain alone to buy him fresh and hot roasted sweet potatoes. He walked with difficulty with a wooden cane, and he did not know how many rugged mountain roads he had to walk.
Gu Xiuyuan bought two pieces of fresh and hot roasted sweet potatoes and ate them with the rice balls. The dumplings looked even more fragrant than when he first ate them.
That year, Bai Zhi told him a story before going to bed as usual.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at him with blank eyes, and quietly called out, "Dad." ”
"What did you say?"
Gu Xiuyuan knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly turned around, his face flushed, "No, it's nothing." ”
Under the moonlight, he lay sideways next to Gu Xiuyuan, covered the quilt for Gu Xiuyuan, and said casually: "Whatever you want, you can call it whatever you want." Or - call it again? ”
Gu Xiuyuan sat up in surprise, bowed his head shyly and said, "Daddy......"
He smiled and took him into his arms, and answered "Hey! ”
Gu Xiuyuan gulped down the sweet potato, and tears fell on the sweet potato with tears on his face.
