Chapter 63: A Conversation with the Heroic Spirit
When it came to the pothos, the pothos was bolder than Wenzhu and Ginkgo, she looked at Chen Youcong and said, "I want to help you!" Because I want to help her. As she spoke, she turned her eyes to look at Zhang Weizhao.
Zhang Weizhao smiled at her and nodded.
Chen Youcong thanked them one by one.
"Now I'm going to talk about what we're going to do today." Zhang Weizhao said: "We are going to hold a ceremony. Help Chan talk to some important people in his life. ”
When Zhang Weizhao said this, he paused, and everyone held their breath.
Zhang Weizhao continued: "Next, Chen Youcong will find people from among you to represent those who were once important to him, you don't need to deliberately play anything, you just go with nature, relax your body, what kind of reaction your heart wants you to make, you just act according to the truth, okay?" The way of heaven will naturally be presented through you. When he said the last sentence, Zhang Weizhao's expression was solemn and solemn. Everyone replied respectfully.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was different from when they came in just now, no longer cold, but a warm emotion flowing.
Zhang Weizhao said: "Now, we are going to start this ceremony, which will line up the relationship between Chen Youcong and the people around him when he was a child. First of all," Zhang Weizhao turned his head to look at Chen Youcong, "please choose one person from among them to represent your mother." Don't think about it, trust your feelings. ”
Chen Youcong looked at bamboo, ginkgo biloba and pothos. Then he fixed his eyes on the pothos and arched his hand to her, "Please come, can you?" ”
Pothos nodded slightly and walked out.
"So, who do you want to line up next? Is it Choi's? ”
Chen Youcong frowned, shook his head and said, "No! ”
"No?"
"I feel like she's far away from me, not with me."
In the story that Chen Youcong told Zhang Weizhao before, Cui seems to have been playing the role of helping Ji take care of the baby. And this story was told to Chen Youcong by Cui Shi himself. Since there is a deviation between the story and Chen Youcong's feelings, of course, Chen Youcong's feelings must prevail. Because the story is likely to have been processed and exaggerated by Choi's own.
"If it's not Cui, then who?"
Chen Youcong closed his eyes and said slowly: "It's a eunuch." I called him," at which point he opened his eyes: "Amin." I don't know why, the moment the name was spoken, Chen Youcong suddenly felt like crying.
"Who are you going to ask to represent Amin?"
Chen Youcong stretched out his palm to Feng Hao to make an inviting gesture, and Feng Hao stood up.
"And again?"
Chen Youcong's feelings began to become smooth at this time, "There are also Ah Zhen and Ah Su." Those names that seemed completely unfamiliar suddenly emerged from Chen Youcong's heart one by one at this time.
Wenzhu and Ginkgo represent the two palace maids, Ah Zhen and Ah Su, respectively.
"There is also ......, and Uncle Qi, when there is no one, he asks me to call him Uncle Qi. He didn't take me to play often, he always seemed to be busy, and everyone around him listened to him, but he would bring me good food and hide me and my mother when there was danger. ”
"We don't have any more people, but you can move a chair instead."
Chen Youcong moved a chair with his own hands.
"Okay, let's start lining up all of these people. Don't make a sound, don't think deliberately, it's useless to think. You feel what you want to be. Take them to their places in turn. ”
Chen Youcong took the hand of the "mother" and led her to the north position in the center of the hall. Then he took "Amin" and asked him to stand on the right side of "Mother" and stand under Amin, and "Azhen" and "Asu" stood under Amin.
The chair representing "Uncle Qi" has been moved to the left side of "Mother".
"Now, adjust their spacing and orientation. Where are they facing? Who is closer to whom? Zhang Weizhao asked.
Chen Youcong gently pushed the men with his hands, and they formed an irregular arc, all of them facing Chen Youcong, surrounding him in the middle, like a wing that tried to spread its feathers and cover him.
Among them, the closest to the "mother" is "Amin", which is only one step away. Two steps away next to "Amin" are "Ah Zhen" and "Ah Su", who are close to each other.
"Uncle Qi" on the left is two steps away from "Mother". A chair sits there steady, with a sense of majesty.
When all the characters are in place, the atmosphere in the palace becomes different again. Everyone felt as if they had entered a strange time and space, and all kinds of complex emotions were transmitted and circulated among these people.
Zhang Weizhao asked "Mother": "How do you feel?"
The "mother" replied: "I feel a little far away from my child. The pothos, which represents the "mother", naturally replied like this, and she didn't even notice that she had anything wrong with Chen Youcong calling the child.
Chen Youcong took two more steps forward.
"And now?" Zhang Weizhao asked.
"I feel so much better now. However, I still couldn't see him clearly because there were so many tears in my eyes. As she spoke, the pothos' tears dripped out.
Zhang Weizhao turned to Chen Youcong: "How do you feel?" ”
Chen Youcong stood on the ground, staring at the ground and not saying a word.
Zhang Weizhao looked around at everyone and said, "Give him a little time." ”
At this moment, Chen Youcong suddenly knelt on the ground with a pop, knocked down deeply, touched the ground with his forehead, and said loudly: "Please kill me!" ”
None of the crowd seemed to be surprised, but watched him in silence.
"It was my arrival that killed you. If it weren't for the fact that I was conceived, my mother wouldn't have had to work hard to avoid me. If it weren't for giving birth to me and raising me, my mother wouldn't have died, and Amin wouldn't have died! Uncle Qi won't die either! Ah Zhen and Ah Su will not die either! Damn it's me, it's me! As he said this, Chen Youcong's tears poured out wildly, and they quickly wet the palm of his hand in front of his forehead.
"What do you think? Do you want him to die, or never be born, so that you don't die? Zhang Weizhao asked "Mother".
"Mother" shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Not so. Her voice was gentle: "Your arrival did not bury me. It was your presence that made me feel that life was meaningful. Until then, I had been alone. With you, I finally have the person I love the most. Without you, I would have died sooner or later, as is the case with everyone. But with you, my life is continued through you. ”
"Mother" didn't deliberately comfort Chen Youcong, she didn't even think about it, but as soon as she opened her mouth, some words flowed out of her lips. When she began to speak, Chen Youcong raised her head and looked at her, Chen Youcong's expression began to become indescribably childish, which is the look of a four or five-year-old child. He looked at the "mother" with a strong attachment and longing, and the "mother" looked back at such a child with a look of tenderness and pain.
Zhang Weizhao said that Chen Youcong said: "You can get closer now until you stand in a position that you feel fit. ”
Chen Youcong walked forward step by step and walked to a place an arm's length away from his "mother".
"Now, what do you want to say to your mother?" Zhang Weizhao asked.
"I'm sorry......," Chen said.
"No, you have to say this: Mother, thank you for giving me life." Zhang Wei said in a calm and firm tone.
Chen Youcong faced the "mother" and said, "Mother, thank you for giving me life!" ”
Zhang Weizhao said: "Tell her, I will take the hobby you gave me to live." ”
Chen Youcong promised his "mother": "I will take the hobbies you gave me to live well!" ”
Zhang Weizhao: "Say it again. ”
Chen Youcong's tone was even more firm: "Mother, I will live with the hobbies you gave me!" ”
Zhang Weizhao said to the "mother": "What do you want to say now? ”
"Mother" smiled with tears in her eyes: "Now I think I have no regrets." ”
Zhang Weizhao asked Chen Youcong again, now: "Whose side do you think of?" ”
Chen Youcong walked to the side of "Amin".
Zhang Weizhao: "Say to him." I respect you. ”
Chen Youcong: "I respect you! ”
Zhang Weizhao: "In my heart, you are still alive." ”
Chen Youcong: "In my heart, you are still alive. You're still alive in my heart...... I haven't forgotten you, I haven't forgotten you! As for Amin, he only remembered vague fragments, which were like small islands in the lake of his memory, and when the lake receded, he could find that these small islands were actually mountains that were connected together.
The words automatically poured out of Chen Youcong's mouth: "Thank you!" Thank you for giving me food when I'm hungry, clothes when I'm cold, and company when I'm lonely. There will always be a place for you in my heart! ”
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Weizhao asked "Amin".
"Amin" had a relieved smile on his face and tears flashing in his eyes: "I am willing to protect you and accompany you." The deep palace is too cold and lonely, and with you, this place is no longer like a cemetery, but like a secret garden. Thank you for coming. Thank you for your willingness to treat me as your Amin instead of a minion. The feelings of "Amin" and Feng Hao's overlapped and flowed out naturally.
"Go and hug him, and then show him love and respect." Zhang Weizhao said to Chen Youcong.
Chen Youcong did so.
"Now, go and thank Uncle Qi, Ah Zhen and Ah Su respectfully!"
Chen Youcong solemnly thanked everyone, and he said to Uncle Qi:
"Uncle Qi, I'm still alive. I'm going to live well. You will live in my heart too. ”
Said to Ah Zhen and Ah Su:
"Thank you for taking care of me. I know you'd love to hear me call me aunt, and you think it's arrogance. But, in my heart, you are my aunt. ”
Zhang Weizhao asked "Ah Zhen" and "Ah Su", how do you feel?
"Ah Zhen" said: "Mixed with joy and sorrow. I want him to live well. ”
"Asu" said: "I am very proud. We protected this child, and now he is growing up so well! ”
