S City

I Yin pilgrim is born to be different from others, fortune tellers say that I have a hooked nose, eyes like electricity, if in ancient times must be a hero. But I don't dare to deny that when I was young, I ran the rivers and lakes, and I had a bit of prestige, and later I participated in the development of real estate, and my family background was thick. Later, he took a few daughters-in-law, and gave birth to nine sons in a hurry, and sure enough, the nine sons born to Long were all different. The family continued to expand in my hands, and I began to retreat gradually with peace of mind, but as I got old, I always wanted to have a granddaughter who could live for a long time.

Delivery

On that day, my youngest son gave birth to a little granddaughter, and I felt blessed by God, and I did more good deeds in my old age. I happily followed behind the nurse and watched my young granddaughter fall asleep in the window, imagining that if my granddaughter pointed to the stars in the sky, I would have taken it down.

That night, I had a long, distant dream; I saw Yin Yin running on the lawn, I picked her up and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and then took the housekeeper's water cup and fed Yin Yin with my own hands; I also saw Yin Yin sighing for her marriage because of her delicate nature; I saw me lying on the hospital bed again, watching Yin Yin burst into tears, and when I was about to hold her hand, the dream ended.

I was woken up by a phone call, and my youngest son's voice asked, "Dad, did your grandfather have any heart disease or anything like that?" ”

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with Yin Yin, you can tell me quickly."

When I saw the 'critical illness notice', my mood was like a mountain and a river collapsing.

I yelled at my youngest son, "Healing! "Sign your name.

Looking at my granddaughter's body connected to various tubes, I couldn't help but cry.

My wife handed me my clothes, put them on for me, and said, "Why don't you go to sleep first, old man, it's not a problem to keep it like this." ”

The youngest son pandered and said, "Yes, father, you go and rest first, and I'll just keep watch." ”

"No way!" I sternly rejected them.

"I'll have to keep an eye on it myself." Seeing the old man say this, the son can only respond.

I sat in my chair, my eyelids were a little heavy, and I thought that I was a little old, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, my son shook me happily and said, "Dad, Yin Yin is awake!" ”

I hurriedly walked up and looked inside the window, seeing that Yin Yin was being taken care of by the nurses, and my heart relaxed a lot.

I shook my head and said to my youngest son, "Yin Sheng, I'll leave the rest of today to you, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll come back in the evening." ”

A year later

The doctor told us that children should never do strenuous exercise.

I watched TV with Yin Yin every day,

Yin Yin already knows how to call 'grandpa', which makes me smile all day long, but Yin Yin also keeps telling me: "It hurts." It hurts a little bit.

On that day, Yin Yin watched "Teletubbies" on TV and pointed to a leather ball in the hand of the red doll, so I immediately called my assistant to buy it, and I continued to watch TV with Yin Yin.

And that time was also the last time I accompanied Yin Yin.

Yin Yin was watching TV that day, and suddenly collapsed, and the instruments around him suddenly sounded. A few minutes later, the doctor burst in, and the nurse threw me out.

A year later

Yin Yin had nothing on her body, lying quietly on the hospital bed, and I walked quickly to her side. Gently picked her up, only to hear her say softly: "Grandpa, it doesn't hurt this time." ”

Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.

Seeing the old gentleman sitting on the ground crying like a child, the fat man and Ah Huan silently lit a cigarette.

Soon, the old gentleman stood up and arched his hand to the fat man and said: "Mr. Chen, I don't blame you, it is already a blessing in my life to be able to see a healthy Yin Yin, if Mr. is in trouble, you can call me, I still have a little name in the rivers and lakes." With that, he wanted to turn around and walk out of the room.

That day, Chen Chao said to the old gentleman: "Go back and eat some ginger to replenish, contact with the yin soul will deplete yang energy."

That day, the old gentleman never looked back and said a word with red eyes.

That night, Chen Chao secretly got up, picked up the short knife under the pillow, walked out of the door, and did not come back until dawn.

At night, Chen Chao clenched the short knife and said in the dark: "When I was in college, I thought about wearing a robe, floating dust in one hand, and a sentence of immeasurable heavenly respect, treating me with courtesy; Or dressed in monk's robes, a string of Buddhist beads, folded hands, a sentence of Amitabha, treat my Buddha with courtesy;

I once thought of meeting a person who died in vain, and held his hand and recited the previous passage: 'All sentient beings who have not been liberated have an uncertain nature...' for their transcendence; Seeing that sentient beings are confused and confused, they say, 'Accumulate virtue and do good, but health is evil...' to guide sentient beings.

Later, when I saw a little girl who had been terminally ill since birth, she had to take painkillers every day and take a drip to maintain her life. Finally, he snuggled into his father's arms and said, 'Dad, it doesn't hurt this time.' Then he slowly closed his eyes and never woke up again.

Chen Chao suddenly opened his eyes wide and said suddenly: "The grief in my heart at that time and the great shock in my heart, I will probably never forget it for the rest of my life." ”

Looking at the ghosts that gradually appeared in front of him, Chen Chao continued: "I blame the gods and Buddhas for being incompetent or indifferent, and my faith is collapsing like mountains and rivers. ”

As soon as the words fell, the short knife in his hand gradually became longer and turned into a wooden sword with a sheath, and Chen Chao also became what he himself called a Taoist priest dressed in Taoist clothes, holding a floating and sinking in his left hand, and carrying a wooden sword on his back.

On that day, the arrogance and unruliness of the Taoist priest were vividly and exquisitely reflected in Chen Chao;

On that day, the wail of the evil ghost made the Yin cha who came to arrest feel a little frightened;

On that day, Chen Chao whispered: "The little girl has not yet felt the joy and prosperity of the world, maybe her life and sorrow are all tied to pain and her father." ”

On that day, Chen Chao told the ghost as if he was guilty: "You dare to move the person I covered." ”

On that day, Chen Chao didn't look at the ghost, looked up at the sky and said: "The passing and ending of life are never so easy to accept. ”

"Therefore live every day well, without fear of death, without fear of life." - Chen Chao

Author's postscript: I have only started to get in touch with metaphysics since college, and in addition to taking classes, I am basically on the fifth floor of the library, because the fifth floor is basically some humanities and history.

At that time, when I saw the video of this little girl who passed away, I felt a little regretful in my heart.

When my classmates saw me like this, they were all trying to persuade me;

Say that I am enlightened; Some people thought I was going to take revenge on society.

Someone else said: Maybe the little girl has completed her mission on earth and returned to where she is going.

Some people even say: Everyone has their own strange circle, and the gods and Buddhas are your strange circle.

In fact, there are not so many things, just like Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" wrote: "There are three out of ten people in the living, and three out of ten people in the dead; The life of the people, the life of the people, and the death of the Jin, are also three out of ten. Husband? ”

Death or life is the greatest justice in the world, and no one can escape it. This novel is written with this theme in mind.

And the protagonist Fat Man (Chen Chao) is such a character who goes through these things. He has the way of a saint in his heart, and he also knows some Taoist stories, not to mention some Buddhist knowledge that he has been exposed to.

As for his ability to become a Confucian scholar who does not exceed the rules, a Taoist priest who is domineering, and a monk who is compassionate and compassionate, in fact, these are the characteristics that strengthen his character.
