272.Chapter 272: The Empty Coffin (37)

When the old man saw me say this, he was silent for a while, and then he said, "Those three years are true." ”

I think it's a little strange, those three years are true, so the old man should not have the ability to walk, how can he run to the cemetery? I asked my doubts.

The old man said: "I am here to collect footprints, according to the rules of Hades, only half a day, I arranged flowers in the early years, learned some tricks, and extended this time, so that I have the strength to climb to the cemetery." ”

After saying this, the old man seemed to be a little tired, so he sat down next to Wang Chengcai, and Wang Chengcai used his back as the back of the chair and let the old man lean on his back.

There is an old saying that is good, don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small, from some details can see whether a person is filial, at least, I won't think so comprehensively, then Wang Cheng is not a filial son.

Later, I asked the old man about Fei'ezi, she said very vaguely, roughly meaning that she did some tricks and feet on Fei'ezi, I asked her what it was, and she said that Chinese metaphysics is broad and profound, and each line has its own secrets, and the line of immortal women is no exception.

She meant it obviously, for fear of telling me that I had stolen the teacher, so I was more conscious, so I didn't ask any more questions, so I asked her, "What happened to the bones in the river?" ”

Speaking of this, her expression changed significantly, her body trembled a little, and said: "The river is my man, back then... Back then..."

Saying, she seemed to remember something, sobbing and said: "Back then, we were poor, I was favored by a mysterious force, with the ability to arrange flowers, the family's economy gradually improved, I thought that life would be better, where do I know, my man actually smoked a big cigarette, in order to smoke marijuana, he often stole my money for flower arrangement, and in the end, I was beaten for three days, and I was beaten for nine days, I... I... I couldn't bear it anymore, so I just... Only... Only... So they threw him into the river and drowned. ”

After saying this, the old man could no longer cry, but she continued to speak, she said: "After drowning him, I am afraid that his ghost will find a substitute in the river and harm the villagers. Only... Only... Only... The Yin and Yang Lock Blessing Array was set up in the place where he fell into the water, so that his soul disappeared between heaven and earth, leaving only good thoughts in the river. ”

Hearing this, I was in a cold sweat, and I said that the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, and the old man in front of me vividly showed these words a year ago, not only killing his man, but also cutting off his man's way to the next life.

She seemed to see through my thoughts, and without explanation, she said: "It is precisely because of the prosperity of the year that I did such a rebellious act, and I will suffer the disaster of being bedridden for three years in my later years. ”

When she said this, her tone was very light. Wang Chengcai on the side has been listening quietly, except for the old man who said that when he pushed down the river, his body moved, and at other times, there was no reaction, looking at this, he should know more or less about this.

"Chengcai, do you blame your mother for killing your father?" The old man leaned on Wang Chengcai's back and asked lightly.

"Not to blame." Wang Chengcai said.

"Why?" The old man asked.

"Your son was conceived in October, and no matter what you have done wrong, it will never change the fact that you are my mother." When Wang Chengcai said this, there was a bit of helplessness in it.

"You... You! It's been a tendon since I was a child, and it's still like this when I grow up. The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.

When they were talking, I had been listening quietly on the side, and I didn't know why, I was a little envious of the old man, at least, when she was old, she had such a filial son by her side, I don't know, when I got old, would there be such a filial son around me?

Afterwards, the three of us chatted in the cemetery for five or six minutes, and I heard some firecrackers at the tip of my ears, presumably the funeral procession was about to arrive.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, since you are fine, there is no need to get this clothed mound, you go home with the old man first, let me deal with the matter here!" ”

"Nope! Have you forgotten that I have no intention of going back? The coffin is lifted, and you can't go back with the coffin empty, it's unlucky. Besides, I don't have a few days to live, so let me lie in the coffin! The old man stood up and walked to the grave.

"Mother, my son finally saw you again, you can't just lie in the coffin!" Wang Chengcai got up and grabbed the old man.

"Chengcai, this is my mother's decision, don't stop it, take your wife and son to live a good life in the future, and my mother will watch you in the sky and bless you." The old man said with a resolute face.

"Mother, I... I... We can't live without you! Wang Cheng cried, and two lines of tears rolled down.

"Silly child, I did something wrong for my mother when I was young, if you enjoy normal numerology, some disasters will befall you, I have lived for my mother for a lifetime, and I haven't done anything for your family, before I die, let my mother block some disasters for you." The old man stopped at Wang Chengcai.

"Mother, I... I..., you... You, why bother! The past, let it pass, even if there is a disaster, our family will carry it down together, you... Why do you bother doing this, isn't this tormenting your children and grandchildren? What shame do I have to live in the world again. ”

That Wang Chengcai wiped his tears as he spoke, maybe because of his age, his crying was particularly ugly, but to my ears, it was like a heavenly sound, so beautiful.

"Child, my mother is to make up for the mistakes of the year, if you are really filial, carry your father's bones and let him be buried with your mother, which can be regarded as filial piety for your mother."

The old man stroked Wang Chengcai's hair dotingly, because the old man was short, she lifted her feet. That Wang Chengcai was tall, even if the old man was on tiptoe, it was still a little difficult, so Wang Chengcai knelt in front of the old man, leaned his head on the old man's arms, his eyes were full of tears, and he kept muttering, "Mother, please, don't die." ”

Seeing this scene, the corners of my eyes were a little moist, things in the world are like this, full of surprise everywhere, and at the same time full of helplessness. The mistakes made by the old man when he was young, repenting when he was old, and thinking about his own funeral, caused the current scene.

The empty coffin is not empty, the empty is the human heart, the empty trust between people, and the empty is this money-first society. If mother and son are like this, what about the trust between those strangers?

I suddenly remembered a famous saying in Buddhism, "Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to do it."

The scene in front of me is not just the verification of Buddhism's wise saying, whether there is something in the coffin, those are superficial phenomena, the important thing is the human heart, the heart is close, filial piety is in, whether it is an empty coffin is secondary, what I can see is that the mother and son are filial piety, there are these four words, enough!
