Chapter 12 - Parting

The sparse pedestrians on the road are wearing thick cotton clothes, and the New Year is still a few days away. The passers-by looked at me with puzzled expressions, some of them pointing at me, but I didn't care, and I wasn't in the mood to care. After kneeling for about five minutes, I stood up and wanted to see my father, who had been absent for ten years.

My father has been coming to see me for the past ten years, but every time I have been turned away by the master, as mentioned earlier, the cultivation of the Tao should pay attention to the purity of the six roots, and we should not be disturbed casually. So after that, my father didn't come to see me again.

I don't know how his old man is now, my father is sixty years younger this year, I haven't seen him for ten years, has his face aged a lot, how have you missed me in the past ten years?

Thinking of this, I trotted all the way home, because it was almost the New Year, there were only three or three people on the street, and there were some vendors who couldn't go home for the New Year, and were still setting up stalls outside, and there were no taxis and buses (because this place was a little remote, so there were no cars at this time. Thinking of this, I trotted all the way with my satchel on my back.

The journey of twenty miles is just a little difficult for me, and Master has trained me a lot over the years, so I have developed a good physique.

After running for two hours, I ran to the long-lost road, looking at the small village that gave birth to me and raised me from afar.

Now the sky has darkened, and the sky in Harbin in winter is dark, only the flickering street lamps and a few sparse houses are lit.

This small village, quiet and serene, looking home, I quickened my pace and walked to the entrance of the village.

I saw the cemetery again, the place where I got to know my master for the first time, the place that frightened me, I touched the scene, and I didn't feel that I remembered the bits and pieces with my master again...

This cemetery has been converted into a large high-voltage electric room, the graves have been moved to the left side of the electric room, and each grave bag has been filled with high soil.

Another trot, the twenty miles just now has made me sweat, running in this cold winter, the biting cold fan over my cheeks, this feeling, very cool.

When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw the big green iron door at home, but it no longer had the luster of the past, replaced by pieces of paint peeling places and spots of rust, and the years were always invisible and untouchable sulfuric acid, which eroded people's bodies, eroded people's hearts, and eroded everything in the world.

"Knock knock..."

"Who?" Thinking of a pleasant question, it seems that this voice is Zi Yan.

"Qin Sheng."

"Who?" The other party didn't seem to believe that I was Qin Sheng, or that Zi Yan had forgotten who I was after so many years.

"I'm Qin Sheng, I don't believe it, open the door and take a look." I repeated it again, in a more cheerful tone, because I didn't want my father to know that I wasn't happy.

"Gala Gala~" ••• The big iron door made the sound of the years, the door opened, and I saw a young and beautiful girl.

"Huh? Brother Qin Sheng? You... Zi Yan looked at me uncertainly, walked a little closer to me, and looked at my face for a few seconds, "Ah! It's really you! Brother Qin Sheng! You're back! I want to kill you! Ha ha! ”

This girl is really Ziyan.

"It's really the eighteenth change of the female college, and I almost didn't recognize it. What's going on, how has Aunt Liu been doing all these years? ”

"Uhhhh It's good, what about you, Brother Qin Sheng? Speaking of this, Zi Yan paused, quickly changed the topic and asked me.

"Well, this winter, you're going to let me freeze like this?"

"Oops, oops! Come on! I forgot about it, I was so excited! Hee-hee~"

I shrugged my shoulders in frustration.

"Mom! Come on, come on! Brother Qin Sheng is back! ”

Zi Yan shouted into the house in a voice like a silver bell, "Let's go, Brother Qin Sheng, let's go into the house." "Hmm." I nodded.

"Oops! Qin Sheng! It's really you! It's been ten years, and I'm so old and tall! I can't even admit it! ”

Only Aunt Liu came out to greet her, not my father and Uncle Liu.

I realized that there was something wrong with the vibe.

"Aunt Liu, why did I see you and Ziyan, what about my father and uncle?" I asked, confused.

"Oh. Your father went out to do business with your Uncle Liu, and he will come back for the Chinese New Year! Aunt Liu replied.

"Well, you've been doing well all these years, aren't you?" I didn't have any doubts about Aunt Liu's words, so I quickly chatted with some short words from parents.

"Very good! It's all good! As soon as you come back, it's even better, hahaha! Aunt Liu said to me enthusiastically.

"Brother Qin Sheng, what have you learned over the years? I haven't seen you for so many years, and I miss you a lot. ”

"It's nothing," I hung my bag on the back of the chair and sat on the chair, "It's something that Taoist priests learn, Taoist priests will, I will, hehe." ”

"Wow..." Zi Yan's face was adoring. "You two chatter first, I'll go boil the kettle of water, hot rice, haven't eaten yet!

"Hey, no." My stomach just gurgled at this time, I haven't eaten a day today, don't say, I really listen to the food of my hometown, I have been a vegetarian with my master for so many years, I don't know how many times I want to eat meat before, this time I go home, I must eat more.

"Hehe, thank you, auntie!" "Oh, you're welcome, this is your own home! Today is all some leftovers, I'll give you a hot stove, and I'll make you something to eat tomorrow! Pick you up! ”

"Hehe, Aunt Liu's cooking is the most delicious, everything is delicious!"

"The little baby grows up, and her mouth is still so sweet." When Aunt Liu heard me say this, she grinned, twisted her head and went out of the house into the kitchen again, and went to make me a hot meal.

After chatting with Zi Yan for a while, Aunt Liu had already finished the meal, Aunt Liu was a diligent person and could do everything quickly.

I saw Aunt Liu bring up a plum cabbage button meat, two pig's trotters, a few meat stir-fried vegetables, and a few steaming steamed buns.

"This is Erdan who brought his daughter-in-law to our house yesterday and made a few dishes, no one likes to eat meat, he hasn't touched it, it's a pity to throw it away, I'll put it in the refrigerator, eat it while it's hot!"

I devoured it, I haven't eaten meat for ten years, and this time I broke the meat ring.

Aunt Liu and Zi Yan looked at me in the wind and clouds, and kept holding their stomachs and laughing, saying that I was a starving ghost.

After a sweep, there was not much food left on the table, and I touched my bulging belly, burping and looking satisfied. Aunt Liu's cooking is so delicious.

"By the way, auntie, you just said that the two eggs are married?"

"Not really! is married to the daughter of the old Zhang Tou in the neighboring village! ”

"Haha, that's good! When will you do it? ”

"It didn't take long for the October 1st to happen, it happened to be the National Day, and it was very lively!" Aunt Liu said, "When will your kid get a daughter-in-law?" ”

I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly, to be honest, I have been cultivating with Master for so many years, and I have never used such a crooked brain, I think I have good self-control, and I have never thought about it.

"Haha, look at what I'm talking about, why do you need to look outside? We have ready-made ones at home! Yingzi will marry you, haha! What a wonderful thing! You say no! Aunt Liu said happily.

"Haha, Aunt Liu, you tease me, I'm willing to marry, Zi Yan may not be willing to marry! Ha ha. ”

Zi Yan had a shy expression, sat on the stool, moved her feet, and said this in front of a big girl, which made Zi Yan a little embarrassed, and her little face turned crimson.

"Then why are you not happy to marry? When you two were young, you had a baby kiss at the wine table, so your father told the old man of our family that he had done it, and your father happily said that you would not fight a bachelor in the future! ”

"Haha, huh? Aunt Liu, tell me what you said at that time. I want to hear it. I asked about Aunt Liu with an interested face, completely ignoring Zi Yan's shy expression on the side while pulling her clothes and stomping her feet.

"Back then, Daddy Ying... As soon as she was halfway through the words, Aunt Liu seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and after being stunned for a moment, she stood up and said, "Oh, eldest nephew, I just remembered that there was water boiling in the kitchen, so I'll go and bring the water out first, and you and Ying will talk first." ”
