Walking out of Zhao Ziqiang's house, Wang Xiaobai felt very panicked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Ziqiang to be wasted like this, a man in his thirties, don't talk about the old, he still loves to gamble, he doesn't care about his mother's life or death, how can there be such a person in the world? He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't think he can persuade Zhao Ziqiang, Zhang Chunhua can't move him after decades of hard work, so he can persuade him to understand?

Wang Xiaobai's family is very stable, ordinary but warm, Wang Xiaobai's education since childhood is also very traditional, although the age of fifteen is a little rebellious, but the path has always been right, but in just two days, his world has undergone earth-shaking changes, he has seen wild fairies, seen ghosts, knows how great maternal love can be, and also saw how ruthless a person can be.

After a while, Wang Xiaobai couldn't digest these a little, and rode back to school with Chen Jianbin sullenly, Chen Jianbin saw that Wang Xiaobai was in a bad mood, and pedaled the car to persuade vigorously: "Xiaobai, there are many people who don't care, not bad for your relatives, and the third brother of my second uncle's family, that's not ...... to tune."

Back at school, Wang Xiaobai stayed in the dormitory sullenly and didn't go out, Chen Jianbin felt bored, so he simply went out to the Internet café to surf the Internet, leaving Wang Xiaobai alone, he was still very upset, so he simply went out and bought a box of cigarettes, and secretly smoked in the corner behind the school. ”

Frightened, Wang Xiaobai hurriedly threw the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it with his foot and looked back, it turned out to be Li Xiaojing, today's Li Xiaojing wore a red sweatshirt and white sneakers, her face was whiter, her big eyes flickered and looked at him, with a smile on her face, Wang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and asked curiously: "Why didn't you go home?" ”

As soon as she mentioned going home, Li Xiaojing's smiling face stiffened, and she said softly: "My home, I can't see anyone when I go back, my dad is definitely not at home, my mother must be playing mahjong, even if they are both at home, they must be quarrelling, what are you doing when you go back?" It's better to study quietly in school. ”

Wang Xiaobai thinks so, they are all from the same town, Li Xiaojing's family knows everything, Li Xiaojing's father is a contractor, he has been away from home for a long time, he pulls relationships outside, runs business, and works, it is said that there is still a second mother outside, her mother doesn't work, but she doesn't do anything, except for the stinky beauty that plays mahjong all day long, Li Xiaojing is also troublesome when she goes home, and it is really better to stay at school.

Looking at Li Xiaojing holding a book, Wang Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, although Li Xiaojing has complete parents, the family environment is not very good, people can study so hard, look at Zhao Ziqiang!

Li Xiaojing walked over, saw that Wang Xiaobai was depressed, and asked, "Why didn't you go home yet?" ”

Wang Xiaobai was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to, so he told Li Xiaojing about Zhao Ziqiang, saying that he was a relative of his own family, Li Xiaojing suddenly raised his head after listening, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his eyes, and he said to Wang Xiaobai a little stubbornly: "A person can't choose his own family and past, but he can choose his own future, Zhao Ziqiang has such a mother who loves him, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, and no one can help him!" ”

The soft and weak Li Xiaojing revealed that she was strong and stubborn at this moment, Wang Xiaobai was stunned, she didn't expect Li Xiaojing to have such a strong side, and her words were so philosophical...... After thinking about it, Wang Xiaobai found that he was very dangerous, his current situation was in an intermediate position, not as decadent and inferior as Zhao Ziqiang, but not as firm and strong as Li Xiaojing, this is a very dangerous thing, if he is confused, maybe he will be the next Zhao Ziqiang, if he is strong and studies hard, he will become as self-reliant as Li Xiaojing.

Of course, Wang Xiaobai wants to move closer to Li Xiaojing, his brain is open, and he is not so depressed, and said to Li Xiaojing, "It's not a loss, it's a learning tyrant, what you say makes sense, I have to learn from you, I didn't do well in yesterday's class, if you have time to help me make up for the class!" ”

"Okay, I'm just going to review yesterday's lesson, I'll tell you about it, and I'm also stable!"

Cheered up Wang Xiaobai and Li Xiaojing in the quiet school, formed a pair of learning CP, until the sun set, Wang Xiaobai picked up what he learned yesterday, in order to express his gratitude, Wang Xiaobai put away the textbook and said to Li Xiaojing: "I can't let you help me with tutoring, I'll invite you to eat spicy tang at night." ”

Although Wang Xiaobai's family conditions are not bad, he is not used to him, he doesn't have much living expenses in high school, he can't afford to eat well, Malatang is delicious and cheap, economical and affordable, Wang Xiaobai invited, Li Xiaojing began to nod, and then seemed to remember something, his face was flushed, and he said: "I don't go with you to eat Malatang, I don't like Malatang......"

stood up and turned around and left, Wang Xiaobai was very confused, if he didn't eat, he wouldn't eat, what was his face red? Is it refreshed? suddenly remembered an old stalk from before, spicy and hot...... Hurriedly stood up and explained: "Li Xiaojing, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to invite you to eat Malatang, don't get me wrong......"

It's okay not to explain, as soon as she explained, Li Xiaojing stomped her feet violently, and trotted up holding the book, her two pigtails dangling, like a beautiful butterfly.

Li Xiaojing didn't eat Wang Xiaobai's spicy tang, Chen Jianbin ate it, this kid ate fifty yuan of spicy tang alone, the distressed Wang Xiaobai only kicked him, scolding him for being reincarnated as a starving ghost, Chen Jianbin didn't care, and drank a bottle of beer, and went to the Internet café for the night after he was full of wine and food.

Wang Xiaobai returned to the dormitory and was stunned, Li Xiaojing made up for the class very solidly, and remembered it very firmly, it was time to practice Wang Lao's Taoist breathing and breathing technique, sitting cross-legged on the bed, Wang Xiaobai folded his hands and put them on his navel, according to what was written in the book, his eyes were slightly closed, he looked inward with light, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and his heart looked at his dantian.

The reason why the eyes are slightly closed is because it is easy to have distracting thoughts when the eyes are open, and it is easy to fall asleep when the eyes are closed, so it has to be slightly closed, the eyes are slightly closed, and the eyelids should droop naturally, so as to see the things in front of you and not be able to distinguish them. Meditation, abandoning all distractions, entering the realm of silence, meditating to listen to the breath coming in and out, but also the tongue on top of the palate, the tongue curled up against the bottom of the tip of the tongue. Because there is an acupoint on the palate, called the Tianchi acupoint, the mud pill must be blocked when practicing.

It looks very easy, but it is difficult to actually operate, Wang Xiaobai couldn't calm down at first, he couldn't stop thinking nonsense, but he didn't give up, he got used to it little by little, adapted, adapted, got used to a sore back, got off the bed and moved the activity, continued to practice, tossed for almost two hours, Wang Xiaobai finally found some feeling.

It was a very strange feeling to hear my breathing getting louder and louder, and I felt as if I had been separated from the world and merged together...... Two hours passed in a trance, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, Wang Xiaobai finished practicing, felt tired, lay on the bed and slept, and couldn't sleep a little, thinking about it again and remembering what happened in the past two days, fortunately, he helped Zhang Chunhua find the card for his son.

Thinking of Zhang Chunhua, Wang Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh again, the old lady was pitiful enough to have such a son as Zhao Ziqiang, thinking of the desolation on the grave, paper money, and tribute, Wang Xiaobai felt that he should go and burn some paper money for the old lady, and told Zhang Chunhua that he had helped Zhao Ziqiang find a bank card, which was considered a beginning and an end.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaobai went to buy fifty yuan of paper money and ingots, with a lighter, and rode a bicycle to the slope of Dongshan alone, Wang Xiaobai was not afraid in broad daylight, he also carried Wang Laodao's talisman, somewhat confident, not to mention that no matter how many lonely souls and wild ghosts, it is impossible to appear during the day.

Without the troubles of lonely souls and wild ghosts, it was daytime, with memory, Wang Xiaobai easily found Zhang Chunhua's grave, to Wang Xiaobai's surprise, he saw Zhao Ziqiang in front of the grave, Zhao Ziqiang knelt in front of the grave, burning paper with a handful of snot and tears.

Seeing the paper money that Wang Xiaobai carried, Zhao Ziqiang nodded gratefully at Wang Xiaobai, today's Zhao Ziqiang is not the unlucky appearance of yesterday, he cleaned himself up very cleanly, washed his hair, changed into clean clothes, his eyes were red, he should be crying, Wang Xiaobai didn't say much, squatted next to Zhao Ziqiang, and burned the paper money and ingots he brought.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Wang Xiaobai didn't know what to say, since Zhao Ziqiang came to burn the paper, it showed some conscience, Zhang Chunhua also knew that his son had found the card, then he burned the paper money and left, burning and burning, Zhao Ziqiang turned his head to Wang Xiaobai and said: "Little brother, thank you, you woke me up, after you left yesterday, I went to withdraw money, I wanted to continue to gamble, standing in front of the ATM, but I couldn't stretch out my hand, I felt that the bank card left by my mother was so heavy as Mount Tai, this is my mother's blood and sweat, She is reluctant to eat all her life, reluctant to wear, and she doesn't worry about me when she dies, if she really takes out this money to gamble, am I still a person? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziqiang cried bitterly, and continued after crying: "I'm in my thirties, and I still haven't lived to understand, I've lived in vain, I always feel that my mother should be good to me, but there are so many shoulds, except for my mother, I just died outside, who looks at me more?" I'm sorry for my mother, I'm not filial, I can't close my eyes when she dies, you're right, she may not be my mother in the next life, if I don't change, I won't have the face to burn paper for him in this life, I'll change, anyway, I don't have anything now, I'll go out to work tomorrow, even if I can't mix it up, at least I can't embarrass my mother, little brother, thank you......"

Zhao Ziqiang cried very sadly, Wang Xiaobai was also very sad, and felt a little relieved, and said to him: "Brother Zhao, the prodigal son will not change his money, as long as you understand, just turn back, I believe that Lao Aunt Zhang doesn't expect you to have much success, you can live a good life, and she will rest assured!" ”

When Wang Xiaobai said this, he saw Zhang Chunhua's outline on the tombstone in a trance, with a smile on his face, he bowed to him with his hands folded, and then glanced at Zhao Ziqiang lovingly, and gradually dissipated......
