Chapter 91: Childhood Memories and the One-Armed Old Way
Lin Yi was stunned all of a sudden, he really hadn't thought about it before, and Su Yun hadn't mentioned it.
It was a bit sudden.
"Why don't you want to go?" Su Yun frowned a little unhappily, "Don't pull it down, I don't want you to go!" ”
"No, I didn't mean that." Lin Yi hurriedly explained: "I didn't say I wouldn't go, but I hadn't heard you mention it before, so it felt a little sudden." ”
"Alas, in fact, I wasn't in such a hurry to take you back, I still want to investigate you for a while before making a decision." Su Yun said angrily: "But after such a fuss just now, it is estimated that everyone in the town knows about me and you, maybe my parents have heard about it now, and they can't hide it." ”
Lin Yi pondered, this is really the case.
Rural people have broken mouths, and those rural women are the top gossip masters, if there is nothing to do, grab a handful of melon seeds and sit in front of the house, any messy things can be passed on with noses and eyes, and if such a big thing happens today, they will definitely spread it.
In addition, Su Yun is a topic in Baigang Town, and the popularity of this gossip is estimated to be even greater.
While the two were talking, Chen Shuqin happened to come down from upstairs, and when she saw the little couple biting her ears there, she immediately smiled and said, "What are you whispering?" ”
Su Yun blushed, stepped aside and stopped talking, just lowered her head and cleaned up the table.
Lin Yi quickly pulled Chen Shuqin aside and said in a low voice: "Mom, that's the case......
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shuqin slapped him directly on the head, "Bastard boy, Su Yun has already come to our house, you are a big man still hiding and not daring to see people?" Go, of course you have to go, otherwise you will lose your manners! ”
Yes, my mother has spoken, what else can Lin Yi say?
Just go, it's just a matter of time or time anyway!
"Hmm...... So be it. Chen Shuqin pondered for a moment, pulled Su Yun and said with a smile: "I guess I'm too busy today, it's too late to prepare gifts, I'll prepare a little meeting gift later, and let Lin Yi take it to the door tomorrow to say hello to your parents, okay?" ”
Su Yun nodded, "Auntie, it's good for you to decide." ”
As soon as Chen Shuqin made a decision, the matter was settled.
After cleaning up the pots and pans, Lin Yi was kicked to wash the dishes, but Chen Shuqin pulled Su Yun and whispered.
I don't know what topic the old and the young are talking about, anyway, Lin Yi looked back several times, and all he saw was Su Yun's face as red as blood.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yun carried the gifts she bought for her family and went home first.
Although Chen Shuqin didn't want to let her go, she hadn't passed the door yet, so if she left Su Yun at the Lin family for the night, someone would definitely chew her tongue, and she didn't want to see her daughter-in-law suffer this grievance.
Not long after Su Yun left, Lin Shuigen, who was drunk and unconscious, finally got up, but he was still holding his head there and shouting that he had a headache.
"Drink and drink, sooner or later you will become a waste!" Chen Shuqin scolded angrily.
"Isn't that happy today?" Lin Shuigen smiled innocently, "The first time my daughter-in-law came to the door, I wasn't allowed to be happy?" ”
The old couple exchanged two sentences, and suddenly looked at Lin Yi in unison, "Come here!" ”
Lin Yi's heart suddenly, what is the situation, his face is as serious as the three sessions, what are you doing?
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Chen Shuqin intentionally or unintentionally played with the feather duster in her hand, which was the shadow of Lin Yi's childhood memories.
"Mom and Dad, this is brainless, what are you asking me to say?" Lin Yi sneered.
"Pretend, you go ahead and pretend for me!" Chen Shuqin said angrily: "Xiao Su was here before, I was embarrassed to ask you directly if I had some words, but now that Su Yun is gone, you still put this on my sleeve, right?" ”
Lin Shuigen also asked with a straight face: "Boy, to be honest, where did you learn your fighting skills?" It's fast, accurate and hateful, it's my old man who made a move with you, and it is estimated that it is a one-round thing, when did you learn it? ”
"Also, who did you learn all those intrigues from?" Chen Shuqin said with a cold face: "If it weren't for Xiao Su to explain it to me, I really wouldn't have seen the intention behind your series of actions, your father and I are both honest people, and I have never taught you these things!" ”
Lin Shuigen nodded and continued to add: "And the two times you helped Liu Meiguang to reposition the bone, the technique is precise and old-fashioned, I don't remember what Chinese medicine orthopedic techniques you learned!" ”
The two of them said one sentence at a time, and the question was thrown in front of Lin Yi like a cannon.
Lin Yi actually knew that there would be this day for a long time, so he already had a countermeasure.
Not beat around the bush? It is estimated that before he finished speaking, he was already dragged to the neurological hospital by the second elder for forced electrotherapy, what kind of cultivation and immortal soul fusion, who believes ordinary people? !
If you can't tell the truth, then you can only talk nonsense, and at this time, the benefits of YY seeing more are reflected!
"Mom and Dad, do you remember the old Taoist temple in the town?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
The two nodded, the abandoned Taoist temple used to be a landmark building in Baigang Town, and any large-scale activities in the town before liberation would basically be carried out in that Taoist temple.
It's just that after the reform and opening up, the anti-feudal and superstitious atmosphere blew all over the land of China, and this Taoist temple was smashed overnight, and since then it has been dilapidated and desolate, and has become a shelter for weeds and wild dogs.
"There is an old Taoist with a missing arm in that Taoist temple, do you remember?" Lin Yi continued to ask inductively.
"Of course I'm in a hurry!" Chen Shuqin said angrily: "When you were a child, the town shouted anti-feudal superstition every day, and no one dared to approach the one-armed old way, but your kid ran to play with him every day when he had nothing to do, and I beat you several times for this!" ”
Lin Yi smiled, and the lie came as soon as he opened his mouth, "Actually, I learned all these things from a one-armed old Taoist, I ran into that Taoist hall every day at that time, not to play, but to learn from him!" ”
As soon as they heard this, Chen Shuqin and Lin Shuigen's faces suddenly changed, "Nonsense, what skills can the old Taoist teach you?" ”
"Mom and Dad, feudal superstition is not advisable, but in fact, Taoism can last for 5,000 years, and there are indeed many things worth inheriting and learning from!" Lin Yi said half-truthfully: "In your eyes, that old Taoist priest is just a god, but he is indeed very capable, I know this better than anyone else!" ”
The two of them still wanted to refute, but they couldn't say anything when the words came to their mouths.
The son's ability is in front of him, what else can he say?
In fact, Lin Yi often went to find the old Taoist priest back then, not to learn any skills at all, but to chat with him.
The old Taoist priest was usually silent and unsmiling, but after two or two drinks, he began to run the train with his mouth full of mouths, and he would say all kinds of messy things.
From astronomy and geography to human sophistication, to Taoist allusions to widows taking a bath, it is simply a personal story machine, and it is definitely a good partner to relieve boredom.
At that time, Lin Yi didn't have any computers and smartphones at home, and the only color TV often went on strike because of signal problems, and there were very few entertainment activities.
So in those years, he often went to chat with this old Taoist priest to relieve his boredom, but it was really just an unintentional move at that time, but he didn't expect that today he would just lie nonsense.
After her complexion changed several times, Chen Shuqin gritted her teeth in a suppressed voice and said, "Son, this matter must not be made public!" That old man's reputation is not very good in the town, if you let the people in the town know that you are that old way's apprentice, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble! ”
Lin Yi nodded, and suddenly turned his mouth and asked, "Where did the old Taoist priest go later?" It seems like I haven't seen him since I was in middle school. ”
"Who knows." Lin Shuigen said angrily: "Usually, no one pays attention to the old Taoist, and of course no one knows when he disappeared." Some people say that he went to other places to be abducted, others say that he died in a Taoist temple, and his body was gnawed clean by wild dogs, and no one knows what happened anyway. But at his age, it's estimated that nine times out of ten he has died. ”
Lin Yi nodded, and he really missed it a little in his heart.
I don't know if the old Taoist is a liar or not, but at least he hasn't cheated a penny from him, and if it weren't for the messy braggarts and stories of the old Taoist priest in those years, his childhood is estimated to be a lot less memorable.
And in retrospect, many of the old Taoist's "bragging" are actually worth pondering, Lin Yi was just a little kid at the beginning, and many things beyond his three views were naturally regarded by him as bragging, such as what Taoist three ancestors soared in the day and the like, at that time, Lin Yi only listened to it as a mythical story.
But now Lin Yi is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the year, after fusing Gu Feiyang's memories, he has a more urgent and in-depth understanding of the essence of Taoism and the allusions of Xiuzhen, this is the time to think back, he found that many of the "stories" of that old Tao are worth studying!
"Well, I hope he is really dead, or he will come back one day...... Nine times out of ten, I'm going to have to goof with this lie! Lin Yi prayed secretly in his heart.
After being bored for a long time, Chen Shuqin could be considered to digest and approve of Lin Yi's explanation, and she asked in a low voice: "Then why didn't you use these skills before?" When I was a child, I watched you fight and never win, and every time I came back, my nose was blue and my face was swollen. ”
Lin Yi's face flushed, and he sneered: "The old Tao said, the husband is not guilty, and before I have enough self-protection ability, I must not show my ability, otherwise it will only harm myself." So I've been practicing secretly all these years, if it weren't for Liu Meiguang and them forcing people too much today, I wouldn't necessarily show off my skills. ”
It is not difficult for Chen Shuqin and Lin Shuigen to understand this, if Lin Yi had been shouting everywhere that he was learning from the old Taoist, it is estimated that he would have been dragged over by the village to hold a criticism meeting......
After being silent for a long time, Lin Shuigen suddenly whispered: "Since this is the case, then the old Taoist can be regarded as your master no matter what his reputation is, he has been dead for so many years, so it makes sense that you have to go to the Taoist temple to give him pillar incense." ”
"That's right." Chen Shuqin also nodded in agreement, "But you'd better sneak up when no one is paying attention, otherwise it's not good to be caught by pigtails." ”
Lin Yi nodded, "I'll go up quietly in the evening, and no one should find out." ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the iron door of the small courtyard outside.
"Brother Lin, auntie, are you at home?"
Lin Shuigen and Chen Shuqin's faces changed greatly, why did Liu Meiguang come back again? !
