In the evening, they arranged for us to sleep in Li Wan, and the next morning, I was woken up by the sound of the master's cough.

Li Wan's people called a doctor, and the doctor's diagnosis was only a cold and flu, plus an infection in the back wound. Li Wan's people asked the master to stay in Li Wan for a few nights first, and everyone took turns to take care of him, but the master still insisted on returning to Taoist Bay.

In the afternoon, everyone carried the master back to Daoist Bay, and the people from Zhangwan brought a lot of chicken and meat. In the afternoon, my father and mother also heard about the incident and came to see the master and help with the cooking.

In the next few days, I went to my home and Taoist Bay, at that time I was not very good at cooking, only dried noodles, so I had to go home every day to eat, and then take all the food to Taoist Bay, for the master to eat, and then go to the vegetable field under the slope of Taoist Bay in the evening, choose some vegetables, and eat the leftovers at noon.

This time, the master was seriously injured, and he couldn't even get out of bed for the first few days, and now he is just walking, and most of the time is spent basking in the sun on the rice field.

I asked the master if we could cure that coffin ringworm.

The master said that it was unlikely, and he was also old, and Yang Qi was consumed a lot.

At this time, the master always read books in the rice field, and then taught me some drawing talismans, as well as how to dry grains and practice utensils.

The master said: What is the Tao, the Tao is the law of heaven and earth, and it conforms to the way of heaven. In reality, there is always something dirty, so we need to get rid of it. Taoism pays attention to the five elements of mutual restraint, everything in heaven and earth can be classified into the five elements, they implicate each other, and restrain each other. Therefore, in this world, there is no such thing as the world's most powerful thing.

We Taoist priests are just using this principle of mutual reciprocity and mutual restraint to dispel evil and promote righteousness.

And, since we are constantly exposed to these dirty things, we will naturally be affected by them, so we must keep the original heart and not lose ourselves.

I asked the master, is there a Taoist priest who is lost?

The master smiled and said, "Why not, there are many forbidden techniques among Taoist priests, and those are also against the way of heaven and will be punished by heaven." ”

I asked, "Is the Heavenly Eye of the Master Ancestor a forbidden technique?" ”

The master said, "Forget it, because I feel that the master is a little crazy in the end." Your master also said that your master was very strange in the end. ”

When autumn was about to begin, my sister came back from summer vacation and came to Daoist Bay to cook for us.

At that time, my senior sister was in her second year of high school and third year of high school, and her studies were very intense, and she had to make up classes for most of the summer vacation, so she only had a week to come and take care of her master. Senior sister's name is Chen Si, and it was the master who asked me to call her senior sister, but in fact, she didn't understand Taoism at all, and felt that Taoism was just superstition. She left Taoist Bay at a very young age, and only came back occasionally, but the master never let her spend the night here, but this time it was an exception, the senior sister brought her own quilt, not to say that she wanted to live for a week, the master said that he was unwilling on the surface, but he was actually very reluctant.

Most of the girls in the countryside are very simple, and at that time, the senior sister wore those school uniforms every day, but they were well cared for, and every time she approached her, she could smell the aroma of soap.

The senior sister is really beautiful, she has a ponytail, willow eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, secretly autumn waves, or pear vortex smile is the best word to describe her. At that time, she taught me to choose vegetables, taught me to cook, taught me to wash clothes, and dried quilts.

In the evening, we moved the small table to the rice field, and there was a breeze outside, and the master would sometimes drink a little wine, and the senior sister would tell us about the county town.

The master always listened and laughed, saying that the world was changing too fast. He had been to the county seat once ten years ago, and at that time the county seat was only a few streets.

Senior sister smiled: "The world is developing faster and faster, you can't be a Taoist here, and when I work in the future, I will take you into the city." ”

The master waved his hand and said, "I'm old, it's not easy to run anywhere, and I'm used to being a Taoist priest, and I'm not used to being stable outside." ”

Senior sister pointed at me and asked the master, "Are you really going to keep him to be a Taoist priest with you?" ”

The master said: "He is just playing with his heart now, and in a few years, it is estimated that he will not be willing to do it himself." ”

Senior Sister frowned and said, "That's because you haven't felt the changes in the world yet, if he really has been a Taoist priest for a few years, I'm afraid he won't adapt to the rhythm of the outside at all." Our county will be able to run trains in a few more years. ”

For us countrymen, the train has never been seen at all, it is all on TV, the senior sister said this, the master was stunned, and asked: "Which is so fast, our county is all mountains, and it will take many years for the train to dig holes to get in, and I don't know how much it costs." ”

The senior sister said that it had been said on the news.

At that time, there were only a few TVs in our side, and most of the people in the village watched TV together, and our family used to have it very early, because my uncle who walked at the front of the whole village asked to buy it, and then my uncle went to work, and the TV was lying in his room, and then it broke down, and no one would fix it.

Not to mention Taoist Bay, not many years after the electricity was pulled, the senior sister asked the master to press the TV and the phone, but the master was unwilling, saying that I am a Taoist priest, how can I watch those things every day, and the playthings are demoralized.

My sister said to me, "Don't be a Taoist priest in the future, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the times." ”

I shook my head and said that the priest was fun.

Later, the master asked the senior sister what university she was going to go to, and the senior sister said that she was a biologist, but the master didn't understand it, and asked what it was for.

The senior sister explained that those who study animals and those who study drugs are researched.

In fact, the master doesn't understand these industries at all, anyway, it's good to say that the senior sister likes it.

The senior sister asked the master, "Then what do you want me to be?" ”

The master said, "Of course I want you to be a doctor, and you will always have food for this." ”

The senior sister said that she was afraid of blood and did not dare to be a doctor.

At this time, another person's name emerged in my heart: Zhao Xiaoxue.

I remember when I was in elementary school, the teacher asked everyone what their dreams were in the future, some were scientists, some were teachers, and Zhao Xiaoxue said that she wanted to be a doctor and treat diseases and save people.

But I didn't dare to say my dream at that time, because my dream at that time was that it didn't matter what I did, I had to marry Zhao Xiaoxue home.

It's just that I didn't expect that a few days later, this discarded idea would come true, but at that time, I had already regarded this dream as a nightmare.

After more than ten days, the master was finally able to move normally, but in the morning and evening, he became unable to bear the wind, and he coughed more than when he was affected by the wind.

The village doctor told the master that the cough medicine he drank now was not very effective, and it was better to buy some cough syrup, because at that time there was only one hospital in our town, and there were very few medicines, and if you bought this medicine, you had to go to the county.

Later, one day, Zhao Jie, that is, Zhao Xiaoxue's father, came to visit the master, and mentioned in the chat that this medicine needs to be bought in the county, Zhao Jie said: "I will go to the county in a few days to settle the account of selling tea, and you can help us bring it to buy." ”

The master said, "Why bother you?" Your house is so busy. ”

Since Zhao Xiaoxue's death, Aunt Zhao has been a little abnormal, sometimes like a normal person, and sometimes talking to herself. Zhao Jie is not only busy with his own business, but now he also has to take care of Zhao Xiaoyu.

Zhao Jie shook his head and sighed: "I am indeed much busier than before now, and I have a lot to worry about, and I have to come back to take care of Xiaoyu on the same day when I go to the county seat that day." Then he thought for a moment and said to the master: "Otherwise, the little Taoist priest will come with me, help me get something, run errands, and I estimate that I will be back at three or four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

The master listened, look at me. At that time, I had never been to the county seat, so I was naturally full of joy and looked at the master expectantly.

The master smiled and said, "That's fine, but this kid hasn't been outside, you can help watch more, don't lose it." ”

Zhao Jie smiled: "This kid is shrewd, how can he lose it so easily, even if he loses it, maybe he will find a home earlier than me." ”

They all laughed as they spoke.

Two days later, it was the seventh and a half months, which is the so-called Halloween Festival, and Zhao Jie came to Daoist Bay to pick me up in the morning, and said to the master: "I am usually busy to death, but today because it is Halloween, rural people don't like to run around, and they are just a little free, so we just went into the city." ”

The master asked, "What about the people in the city?" ”

Zhao Jie said with a smile: "There are few superstitious people in the city now, and they don't pay attention to these, let's go early, go back early, if we come back late, I will send this little Taoist priest to his house." His house is close to my house, and if I send it here, I am afraid that my daughter-in-law will make a fuss at home. ”

The master nodded, gave me a little money, and told me to go early and come back early, and if I came back in the evening, I would go straight to my house and not run around at night. It was my first time in the county, and I was so happy that I only nodded in agreement.

So I followed Uncle Zhao to the town, and then took a shuttle bus to the county in the town.

Uncle Zhao was very good to me, and when he finished running errands in the county seat, it was still early, so he took me around, bought some food, and bought some gifts for Xiaoyu.

When I returned to the town, it was already evening, and Uncle Zhao had bought a lot of things, but he couldn't carry them, so he asked me to help deliver them to his house. After eating someone's short hand, I followed him to his house.

By the time I got to his house, it was getting dark. Aunt Zhao has already prepared a meal, and when she sees us coming back, she asks us to eat.

I thought about today's Halloween, so it was better to go back early, Uncle Zhao: "I said that our house is so close, I will send you back after eating." Today, you run with me for a day, your family may not know that you will go back, I guess you have eaten, and I also bought a big bottle of Coke today, I and your Aunt Zhao don't drink it, Xiaoyu can't drink it alone, don't waste it. ”

I looked at the table full of dishes, and Coke, and was so hungry that I stayed to eat. Aunt Zhao found a cup and poured me a big glass of Coke.

While eating, I felt very sleepy, and Aunt Zhao said to Uncle Zhao: "You see that you have been running all day, and the children are tired." ”

So Aunt Zhao poured me a big glass of Coke, let me drink it, and said, "If you are really sleepy, you can sleep at our house at night." I nodded, I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep on the table.
