Chapter 86: I'd rather lose to time than to memory!
Qian Mengmeng put her arms around my shoulders and said very emotionally: "Peng Peng, I am a very simple person, I was born unhappy, I only know, chasing what I want, as for whether I can get it, leave it to time to decide, I would rather lose to time than to memories!" ”
She hugged me hard, turned her face and smiled and walked towards Hu Shaoyang, I stood in place, my heart was mixed!
I feel that Qian Mengmeng is walking towards the road where I am standing now, I am trembling, but she is walking without fear!
"What do you think, I didn't hear you several times?" Hu Qichen didn't know when he came over and looked down at me.
may have been infected by Qian Mengmeng, and suddenly gave birth to a kind of 'Since you have embarked on this road, you know that you can't turn back, why don't you enjoy it', and then raised his head to Hu Qichen's eyes, and said something that I would never say at this time before: "Mengmeng's new shoes are so beautiful!" ”
Hu Qichen glanced at Qian Mengmeng's shoes and didn't speak!
I was a little disappointed that he had already put his arm around my shoulders and carried me over.
There is Qian Mengmeng on the dining table, of course, the atmosphere will not be very bad, we eat a large plate of seafood, Qian Mengmeng peeled shrimp for Hu Shaoyang, Hu Shaoyang also exchanged courtesies, helped her peel crabs, that meal, watching the interaction between them, I felt happy and full.
After that day, I really had a few days of peace, because Hu Qichen went to the Sino-Thai border to deliver goods, and no one asked me to do things, so I went to class with peace of mind.
It's just that during that time, Chen Xiaofeng never came to class, and sometimes I met good classmates, and I would ask them, but they just said that Chen Xiaofeng took sick leave, and it is estimated that he has not recovered yet.
I was very uneasy, although Hu Qichen told me that he promised that Chen Xiaofeng would not die, but when I thought of seeing him at his house that day, I felt uncomfortable.
Several times I picked up my phone and wanted to ask Chen's mother Chen Xiaofeng about her current situation, but when I thought that I couldn't do anything, I gave up.
Qian Mengmeng and I had just gotten out of class that day and were about to go to dinner, when we received a call from Huo Yingjie, saying that the villa was almost cleaned up inside and out, and invited us to go over for a light meal.
Before I could agree, Gu Jinnian ran over and hugged me affectionately: "Peng Peng, is the Huo family inviting you to dinner, our family will also go over, let's go together." ”
As she spoke, she dragged me to Uncle Wang's car, I had to agree to come down, and Gu Jinnian was only wearing a set of sportswear, it seems that this time it is really commonplace.
When I got there, sure enough, Huo Yingjie only invited the Gu family's father and daughter, Director Liu and his wife, me and Qian Mengmeng, and Liu Yu's family of three.
"Originally, I invited the Chen family's father and son, but they couldn't come because of something, let's get together this time, let's invite it next time." Huo Yingjie said with a smile, Chu Yun sat on the side, his complexion was much better, and there were new housekeepers and nannies in the house, and everything was well organized.
Zhong Yumei smiled and said, "Yes, as soon as the child in Chu Yun's belly lands, we will have a long time together." ”
Qian Mengmeng and I were both surprised, Qian Mengmeng's mouth was fast, and she had already called out in surprise: "Wow, the action is so fast, it is even there, ah, congratulations!" ”
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, congratulations!" I said with a smile.
Chu Yun held my hand: "I have to thank everyone here, if it weren't for your efforts, let alone being pregnant with a child, even my illness doesn't know when it will get better, and I can still be a mother in this life, it's really something I can't think of, it's just that my body hasn't been nourished yet, and the doctor told me to be careful in the first three months, otherwise I would definitely invite you to the hotel." ”
"It's the same wherever you go to eat, the key is to have a big happy event, and it's fragrant to eat!" Qian Mengmeng said.
Everyone laughed, after eating, Chu Yun took my hand and said endless words, she is nearly twenty years older than me, but she is simple-minded, and the two of us can talk.
In the end, she was relatively weak, she had just been pregnant for a month, and she had already vomited so much that she was tired after a while, so she had to lie down.
When I came out of Chu Yun's bedroom, I went to find Qian Mengmeng, and asked the housekeeper that I was going to the back garden, so I hurried over to find it.
The back garden of the Huo family is very large, and it should have been replanted by a gardener, and it is also suitable for fiddling with these in this season, but it is full of vitality, the pool has not been repaired yet, and it will probably not start until Chu Yun produces it.
After a woman is pregnant, it is best not to start a major project in the house, otherwise it is easy to startle the fetus and it will not be good if the fetal gas is moved.
However, Chu Yun's fetus should be nine out of ten, after all, after the formation of the Zhenshui Spirit Beast was broken before, the Buddha statues of the City God and the Niangniang who sent the child were re-erected, Huo Yingjie specially set up a small Buddha hall, which was specially enshrined, with the protection of the Niangniang, and there were no taboos!
I was walking in the back garden, and I vaguely heard the sound of struggle, what I was afraid of still happened, Liu Yu, the color embryo, must have harassed Qian Mengmeng again.
I followed the sound to find it, and sure enough, I found Qian Mengmeng behind the rockery, she was trapped in the rockery by Liu Yu and couldn't get out, Liu Yu was threatening her something.
"Liu Yu, what are you doing?" I rushed over and dragged him.
Liu Yu turned around and pressed Qian Mengmeng inside, and looked at me: "Yo, Wu Daxian, you are here, I haven't seen you for so long, I am afraid that you have forgotten Chen Xiaofeng, thanks to the fact that he still thinks about you all day long." ”
"Liu Yu, the matter between me and Chen Xiaofeng has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Qian Mengmeng, please clarify the relationship, don't hurt the innocent, what is coming at me." The relationship between Liu Yu and Chen Xiaofeng is actually not iron.
Before, they were just roommates, and the relationship grew by leaps and bounds after the incident of the thousand-year-old female corpse, and they became more and more embarrassed.
Liu Yu sneered: "Hurt the innocent? Wu Pengpeng, do you know who the most innocent and pitiful person is now? It's Chen Xiaofeng! He's fucking dying, have you ever looked at him? ”
"I can't help Chen Xiaofeng's matter, he has caused something by himself, and he knows in his heart that he has that time to hold me back, so it is better to find the initiator, maybe there will be a glimmer of life." If Bai Laosi can leave Chen Xiaofeng's body willingly, what effort do you need me?
Liu Yu obviously didn't care: "No matter what he provokes, it's because of you, the last time I went to see him, he was rarely sober, and he said two words to me after holding it for a long time: Pengpeng!" Wu Pengpeng, whether you can save him or not, you have to at least go and see him, right? Give him one last ride, can you? ”
When Liu Yu said this, I realized that he didn't come to force me to help Chen Xiaofeng, but just wanted me to visit Chen Xiaofeng.
That's right, this dinner of the Huo family, if the Chen family still wants to force me to save Chen Xiaofeng, no one in their family will attend.
I suddenly felt sad in my heart, thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go to Chen Xiaofeng's house tomorrow." ”
"He is no longer in his hometown, and now the family is guarding in Lingyun Temple, Lingyun Temple, you know, the most prosperous place in our city."
After I nodded, Liu Yu left, and Qian Mengmeng immediately ran over and hugged me: "Peng Peng, do you really want to see Chen Xiaofeng?" I always feel that their group of people is not normal, Chen Xiaofeng, Liu Yu and that Zhuang Jiming! ”
"Zhuang Jiming is just born lustful, he is different from Chen Xiaofeng and Liu Yu, Meng Meng, let me tell you, if you choose one of the three of them, you would rather stay with Zhuang Jiming than with the other two." I solemnly confess to Qian Mengmeng.
Chen Xiaofeng was controlled by the White Immortal Hall, there is no doubt about it, although so far, I have not found out that Liu Yu has been contaminated with the White Immortal Hall, but this does not mean that he will not have problems in the future.
The so-called red and black near Zhu is this truth.
Qian Mengmeng pouted and said, "The three of them, I don't want to see any of them!" ”
Then he asked me, "Pengpeng, are you really going?" ”
"Go ahead, I can't be hard-hearted after all, it's okay, Hu Qichen said before, I can go to see the Chen family by myself, there will be no danger." I counted the time, Hu Qichen has been gone for four days, and he should come back in the next two days, even if there is any emergency, he can save me in time.
"You set a time, and I'll go with you when the time comes."
"Okay, then let's be noon tomorrow, there is no class in the afternoon, we can come back before dark."
……
When we came back from Huo's house, we were in Director Liu's car, and we drove very smoothly along the way, after all, he was the director of teaching, and the topics between us were all about school, discipline, etc., and we chatted a little absent-mindedly.
It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and when the car turned around and drove towards the university town, two people came up to me, which scared me and Qian Mengmeng at the same time and sat up straight!
The two people, one dressed in all white and the other in all black, wore a pointed hat on their heads, stepped on small stilts under their feet, hung a long black iron chain that seemed to be made of paper on their shoulders, held a filial piety stick in one hand, and carried a basket of red paper paste in the other, covered with a red cloth.
"This, how is this like black and white impermanence? Halloween or Halloween? This cosplay is also a little more realistic, my aunt and grandmother are going to be scared out of my heart attack. Qian Mengmeng covered her mouth exaggeratedly and shouted.
I was also taken aback at the time, really, that kind of visual impact would be frightened by anyone who saw it for the first time, and then found out that it was dressed up by a person, and I felt a lot better.
Director Liu and his wife in front of them had obviously seen this, and they didn't panic, they just pulled over the car and waited for the two guys to turn slowly and turn towards the path opposite us.
When the breeze blew, paper copper coins flew all over the sky, and the whole street suddenly seemed to be snowing heavily.
"It's really lacking in morality, the sanitation workers are unlucky, how to sweep so much paper and copper money!" Qian Mengmeng complained.
As soon as her words fell, those paper copper coins suddenly ignited in mid-air, and instantly turned into ashes!
It's like a trick.
"This ......"
"It's white phosphorus, and now this weather is suitable for spontaneous combustion of white phosphorus!" Director Liu prompted.
I quickly asked, "What's going on?" Is it some custom in Jiangcheng? ”
Although I have lived in Jiangcheng for so many years, I have never seen such a scene, but only customs can explain it, otherwise this kind of behavior, first, will affect the city's appearance; Second, there are potential safety hazards; Third, it is easy to cause panic among the public, and ordinary people are never allowed to do so.
Director Liu shook his head: "I forgot, I took the wrong road, in fact, there is a notice on it, you may not see it, from the fork in the front to this road, turn around and enter the path, this kind of scene will occur regularly in the past three days, and the road will be closed for one or two days after three days, and then it will return to normal, but it is not for any customs and activities, but it is just a section of the road that has been chartered." ”
"Wrap up the road? Who is so rich? And why do you do that? Qian Mengmeng said excitedly.
Director Liu didn't know: "It is said that a certain big man in Jiangcheng has died, there will definitely be a big battle in three days, and there will definitely be a lot of people watching the excitement around at that time, everything is clear." ”
After that, we were sent back, back to the Hibiscus Garden, I was very uncomfortable, my mind kept flashing the scene I had seen before, and I couldn't sleep well all night.
The next morning, I went to class with panda eyes, and after class, I hurried to Lingyun Temple with Qian Mengmeng.
Lingyun Temple is the largest temple in Jiangcheng City and even our province, located in the easternmost Lingyun Peak of Jiangcheng, bordered by Jiangcheng Bridge, that piece is full of mountains, clouds and clouds, it is said that it is a royal temple to count hundreds of years upwards.
We climbed the stairs, climbed for a long time, and saw the brilliant glazed tile roof in the middle of the mountainside from a distance, the whole temple is very large, the periphery is the apricot yellow courtyard wall, the main gate is hung with a big plaque, the three gilt characters of Lingyun Temple are very magnificent!
As soon as I entered the door, it was a very large triangular copper tripod, which was lit with a lot of incense, all kinds, I spent 300 yuan to buy an incense pagoda and point it in, and after kneeling down devoutly, I asked the little novice Chen Xiaofeng on the side where he lived, and after asking clearly, he took Qian Mengmeng over.
Qian Mengmeng muttered in a low voice, why is this incense tower so expensive, such a big incense pagoda over there in their house is at most a few dozen yuan, saying that I lost money.
I am noncommittal, I would not have spent so much money on incense pagoda before, but now it is different, I have a heart of awe for the gods and Buddhas, and I am comfortable to spend some money.
Chen Xiaofeng lived in the east wing of the third courtyard, and the whole person was lying on the bed very peacefully.
Yes, he was serene, motionless, and if it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest, I would have thought he was dead.
Chen's father and Chen's mother are also very peaceful, and there is no longer the hysteria they had when they met last time, and I thought that maybe I was in the temple these days, and I was affected by the environment.
"Did he fall asleep like this all the time? Have you ever run out? I asked Father Chen.
Father Chen shook his head: "Since entering the Lingyun Temple, the situation is much better, not all the time asleep, every evening, there will be a few small novices in the temple to chant the practice, lasting an hour, and then he will wake up for a short period of time, without saying anything, we quietly accompany him, to about eight o'clock he will sleep, we husband and wife take turns to keep vigil, he slept until dawn, never stepped out of the door half a step. ”
I nodded, and Mother Chen added: "But I don't know what will happen today, I heard that in the past few days, most of the small novices who chant in the temple have been transferred out, and it is estimated that there is no one to allocate them to us." ”
"Pumped out? Where did it go? I wondered.
Mother Chen was surprised: "Don't you know, the famous master of Chinese painting in the country, our Jiangcheng national treasure painting artist Feng Hongjiang Feng Lao passed away, just yesterday morning, a sensation across the country!" ”
"It turned out to be Old Feng!"
Qian Mengmeng and I were surprised, we are engaged in interior design, design is inseparable from painting, of course we also admire Feng Lao, Feng Lao has studied Chinese painting all the year round, self-cultivation, physical leverage, this year also on Jiangcheng Satellite TV's treasure appreciation program, to be a guest to others, old and strong!
Yesterday, Director Liu said that a certain big man in Jiangcheng had passed away, and we didn't think about Feng Lao, looking at the momentum, we thought that a big boss who liked to talk about pomp and circumstance had passed away.
"Old Feng, there must be seventy or eighty, right?" I asked.
Chen's father thought for a while: "Eighty-one, which is considered an advanced age, but looking at his previous body, it is estimated that he can at least live to be 100 years old. ”
We all agree with this and regret it.
"There will definitely be a lot of condolences these days, and it is estimated that famous people in the industry from all over the country will rush over, and I heard that there is a section of the road that is going to be closed, as if it is in your university town." Chen's father said.
Qian Mengmeng nodded immediately: "Yes, it's at the corner into our college town, ...... last night"
"We passed by there last night." I subconsciously intercepted Qian Mengmeng's words, I didn't want her to say what we saw, I always felt that something was wrong yesterday, and now this feeling is even worse.
Yes, that section of the road may have been closed by the high-level of Jiangcheng City, in order to facilitate people from other provinces to come to mourn and maintain traffic safety, which is understandable!
But an old artist like this who is both virtuous and artistic, when he was alive, had already looked down on fame and fortune, how could he find those two things that pretended to be gods and ghosts, and scattered paper and copper coins all over the sky with great fanfare?
Mother Chen sighed: "It is a pity that Elder Feng passed away, but after all, he is also an old man in his eighties, and he can be regarded as the end of his life, poor our family Xiaofeng, so young, if something goes wrong tonight, hey!" ”
"Don't think about the worst, isn't Xiaofeng's situation much better? Tonight, we will accompany him to recite the Diamond Sutra for another hour, and we will be able to get through it safely. "Father Chen is a little more rational.
I couldn't help but look at Chen Xiaofeng's face lying on the bed, this look, shocked, between Chen Xiaofeng's eyebrows, there was a thick black gas, the entire Yin Hall seemed to be soaked in water, I stood up, stretched out my finger and touched it, a drop of water came out, and then, the entire Yin Hall collapsed!
Like a dimple, the drops of water were sunken inside, and slowly, penetrating from the pores of the skin, Yin Tang puffed up again, returning to the way it was just now.
It was only more than half a minute before and after, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back!
I had never touched this face, and there was no record in the notebook my grandmother gave me, but I understood that it was not a good face!
"Miss Wu, do you see something?" I was standing on the edge of the bed, blocking their view, they didn't see the vision, and Chen's mother called me out when she saw me in a daze.
I don't know how to answer her, if Chen Xiaofeng is not good, Chen's mother is estimated to collapse again!
Thinking that Hu Qichen said that Chen Xiaofeng would not die, I gritted my teeth and shook my head: "No, the situation is very stable." ”
"Miss Wu, can you stay tonight? I'm afraid that Xiaofeng will be bad in the middle of the night, and there will not even be anyone to help at that time, and the competent people in the temple will be taken away, and they won't be able to take care of our side. Mother Chen took my hand and pleaded.
At that time, it was only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and when Qian Mengmeng and I came, we planned to take a look and leave, and if we could go back before dark, I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't say anything when I looked at Chen's mother like that.
was struggling here, someone knocked on the door outside, Father Chen stepped forward to open the door, it turned out to be Gu Jinnian!
Gu Jinnian followed Liu Yu, she obviously didn't expect us to be here, and her face was a little embarrassed for a while!
"Peng Peng, Meng Meng, you are also here, I came with my dad today to incense, I just met Liu Yu in front, he has to take me over to have a look." Gu Jinnian explained to herself, maybe she felt that she had broken off with Chen Xiaofeng in front of us before, and now she came to visit him, so she was empty-hearted.
Actually, I don't have any big feelings, why should I meddle in other people's feelings?
Mother Chen immediately recognized Gu Jinnian: "This is the eldest lady of the Gu family, thank you for coming to visit Xiaofeng." ”
Because of the arrival of Gu Jinnian and Liu Yu, we chatted for a while, and after that, Gu Jinnian pulled me and said: "Peng Peng Mengmeng, my dad accompanied his friends to incense, stay in Lingyun Temple at night and don't leave, go back tomorrow, you can stay tonight, accompany me." ”
As soon as she said this, Chen's mother also agreed, saying that the chanting would be done at five o'clock, and the more people who helped chant, the better Chen Xiaofeng's recovery.
With all that said, what else can I say?
In the end, I had to stay, arrange the room or something, Gu Jinnian did it properly.
At five o'clock, the little novices who usually chanted the scriptures did not come, and a few of us sat cross-legged on the edge of Chen Xiaofeng's bed, reciting the Diamond Sutra and the like, and at the end of the recitation, our hearts were completely calm.
I didn't eat lunch in the temple, but I prepared vegetables and tofu for us people, and after eating, we washed up, Gu Jinnian took us to her room to play for a while, about half past eight, Qian Mengmeng and I went back to the room to sleep.
As soon as we left the room, we saw a dark shadow running through the courtyard and quickly running towards the back!
Qian Mengmeng and I were taken aback, and subconsciously followed, only to find that the semicircular arch behind the courtyard was locked!
So how did that person get over just now? Will you fly off the wall?
"He seems to have come out of the direction of Chen Xiaofeng's room just now, right?" I asked Qian Mengmeng in a whisper, and my heart was full of thoughts.
Qian Mengmeng nodded: "It seems to be so." ”
"Let's go, let's see!"
Qian Mengmeng and I ran over lightly, the door of Chen Xiaofeng's room was closed, the light was on, I reached out and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Chen's father said that he and Chen's mother were on alternate duty at night, and someone should not have slept.
I tentatively stretched out my hand to push the door, the door creaked open, Chen Xiaofeng's parents were lying on the table and sleeping deeply, and on the bed, where was Chen Xiaofeng's figure?
