At night, Cai Yuan often wears a crooked bun outside, gets up sleepily to change An Lang's diaper, or yawns and hangs around the house with An Lang in his arms. At this time, he inevitably thought that he was a big man, and he ignored the livelihood and entertainment outside, and it was ridiculous for a cat to do such a woman's thing at home.

But seeing that An Lang and his father were getting closer and closer, and being held in his father's arms fell asleep faster than being held in his arms by his mother and nursing mother, Cai Yuanwai sincerely rose up with a sense of pride.

In the days when An Lang gave birth to his first baby tooth, he had a fever and drooling, and he had to be held by Cai Yuan to sleep, and he cried as soon as he put it down. Cai Yuanwai hugged him all night and never let go, and when he was really sleepy, he leaned on the couch and took a nap.

Jiang also did his best to treat An Lang and did everything.

In this way, An Lang cried less day by day, and became fat and round.

On that day, Cai Yuanwai once promised Zhang Rongkun's master and apprentice that if An Lang was well, he would be willing to renovate Guanyu and shape the immortal body again. Now that An Lang is getting better and better day by day, Cai Yuanwai is thinking about fulfilling his promise and accumulating blessings for his children.

It's just that Zhang Rongkun is full of things in every room of Xuanmiaoguan, what bottles and cans, books and papers, medicine stoves and instruments, and he doesn't want to toss, so that Cai Yuanwai doesn't come to make trouble.

After discussing with Zhang Rongkun, Cai Yuanwai found a compromise and replaced the doors and windows of all the houses in Xuanmiaoguan and the railings of the outer corridors, using good wood and carving. The walls of the house were repainted with chalk, and the statues of Sanqing in the main hall were repainted.

After the repair, the Xuan Miaoguan changed its previous coldness and showed a thriving appearance.

In a blink of an eye, the snow fell, and it was already the wax moon.

On the morning of the first day of the lunar month, the shopkeeper Lu of the grocery store brought his son Dalang and daughter Erya to visit Zhang Rongkun's master and apprentice, and at the same time, it was also to send rice, noodles, oil and woad vegetables to the Taoist chief for the winter.

Xuan Miaoguan is relatively idle today, and Zhang Rongkun's master and apprentice opened the door and invited the family to come in and talk.

Erya is already very familiar with this sister who always dresses up as a little Taoist, and when she sees Zhang Weizhao, she runs over happily. The little black dog was also brought by her, and has now grown into a half-grown dog, wagging its tail behind her. Her brother Da Lang shyly followed.

The little girl especially liked Zhang Weizhao's paintings, and pulled her to paint, drawing herself and the puppy into it.

Zhang Weizhao asked her to sit with the puppy in her arms, took a homemade thin carbon strip, and drew a sketch for her and the puppy. The puppy obediently nestled in the little girl's arms and did not move, and the painting was quickly completed.

Erya was very happy when she took the painting.

You must know that at this time, only large families can invite painters to paint their own portraits, and the appearance of the paintings is the same, with long faces and slender eyes, almost one for a thousand.

The portraits painted by Zhang Weizhao can capture the characteristics of real faces, and even some details of the expressions are depicted very expressively, which is simply the first in this time and space.

Zhang Weizhao has been learning painting since childhood, and he is also quite talented in this area. Although she did not pursue an art-related profession later, her early efforts were not in vain, because she received good training in drawing, she was particularly meticulous in observing people's expressions, and she was also very handy in guiding children to carry out psychological analysis of painting.

Seeing that Erya was so happy, she had a whim, took a harder straw paper and cut it with scissors, bound it into a booklet with needle and thread, and drew a puppy with a stick figure on each piece of paper, each puppy's movements were slightly different, and then quickly moved the paper, and the puppy in the booklet ran around.

This is a simple manual cartoon, which was one of the most common tricks in elementary school in Zhang Weizhao's previous life. But where has Erya seen this? Holding the small picture album, I was pleasantly surprised, and I ran to my father and brother to demonstrate it again and again, and I couldn't put it down.

Such a simple trick made the little girl so happy, which made Zhang Weizhao melancholy. She misses Disney's animated movies, 3D theaters, and mobile phones, iPads, and ...... She came from a time and space with incomparably rich audio-visual materials to this bitter world where the only entertainment can only be a flip-over book, and she almost felt that her eyes could fade out of the birds.

It's almost the New Year, and Zhang Weizhao suddenly became a little lonely. For almost a year, she was busy surviving, busy getting acquainted with the environment, and rarely looked back on the past. She knew that she was actually escaping the trauma of death in her previous life.

Although her consciousness has not dissipated, she is far from her familiar world, her original name and original identity, she can no longer see her parents and grandfather, she can no longer contact her best friends and classmates, she can no longer drink Coke, eat popcorn, and argue with her peers on Facebook...... This, in fact, is death, the worst trauma of separation that a person can experience.

Her father was a hydraulic engineer, her mother was the editor-in-chief of an academic journal, her grandfather was a professor of English, and her grandmother was an art teacher in a middle school. The family is an intellectual family. When she was young, her parents were very busy, and she used to be a very lonely child.

Fortunately, her grandparents live not far away, so many times, she is accompanied by her grandparents. This was actually the happiest time of her childhood, because these two old people would always pay attention to her needs, give her positive responses, and be quite indulgent to her.

So when she was very focused on painting at first, her grandparents did their best to support her, and her grandmother would teach her by hand and take her to famous peers for advice.

She likes to paint, which has a lot to do with her grandmother's enlightenment to her, and in the end she didn't take this as her life direction, and it is also related to her grandmother.

When her grandmother was in her third year of junior high school, she suddenly died of a heart attack.

The night before, my grandmother said that she had a little cold, felt uncomfortable, and her face was a little swollen, so she had to go to bed early. In the middle of the night, grandpa felt that grandma's situation was wrong, so he quickly got up and called an ambulance. But by the time I was taken to the hospital, my grandmother had already gone.

Grandma has coronary heart disease, everyone knows it, and she is usually very careful, and no one thought that such an accident would happen.

A week later, after his grandmother's farewell ceremony, his grandfather suddenly collapsed and was taken to the hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit. Half a month later, my grandfather slowly recovered and was discharged from the hospital and went home.

Grandpa has aged a lot. When Zhang Weizhao called him, his grandfather was often distracted, and he could no longer echo her with as much energy as before. His body was still intact, but his spirit seemed to be more than half dead.

The so-called impermanence of life and death is like this.

From that time, Zhang Weizhao began to realize that death, which seems to be commonplace, happens every day, and everyone has to experience, has such a profound impact and significance on an individual's life.

Therefore, she is more interested in the question of "how do people live?" than in painting. After graduating from high school, he chose to study internal medicine at a university in Shanghai, and then went to the Essex Psychoanalytic Research Center in the United Kingdom for a master's degree and a doctorate.

She then comes to realize that death is not a sudden event, but a process that begins as soon as you are born. When the power of life is stronger, the power of death seems to be hidden. And yet it has always been there, growing stronger and stronger, until one day, covering the whole life.

She doesn't believe in soul reincarnation, heaven and hell, and in fact she doesn't seem to have passed through any transit stations when she came to this world at that time. She prefers to believe that this is an energy conversion and transmission event that occurs when two different space-times intersect.

But she believes that there are more complex mechanisms for life and death, far beyond the scope of modern human comprehension.

She didn't know if her body in her previous life was still alive, if there was a soul dominating that body; Or maybe her body was already destroyed. This is not something she can control or intervene in.

She can only choose how she wants to exist in this life.

She is very comfortable with the work and life with her master, Zhang Rongkun, and is happy to use his surname and the name he has chosen.

Zhang Rongkun and her grandfather are similar in age, but their looks and personalities are very different. Her grandfather is more of a gentle type, and Zhang Rongkun is obviously much more violent. But Zhang Rongkun has a similar smell to her original family members, that is, she has a strong desire for knowledge and a spirit of exploration.

Zhang Rongkun was obviously aware of Zhang Weizhao's depression. He knew at a glance that this apprentice was homesick. He knew that Zhang Weizhao told him about his family history and experience, and he couldn't help but scrutinize, but he didn't interrogate her carefully. Zhang Rongkun has passed the year of ear shun, and he knows that there are many things, wait a minute, take a look, there will naturally be an answer, and there is no need to rush for a while.

Zhang Rongkun felt that Zhang Weizhao was a person with a background.

Zhang Weizhao has some ideas and practices, which are simply unbelievable and incompatible with this world, but she herself is unaware of this, but feels that it is justified. Zhang Rongkun himself is a person who does his own thing and despises the etiquette of the world, but Zhang Weizhao is different from him, he knows that there is such a thing as etiquette, but he disdains to follow it; Zhang Weizhao didn't seem to know at all......

This is the difference between "always wipe diligently, don't make dust" and "there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust".

The apprentice dragged him more than him, which made Zhang Rongkun, who pretended to be a transcendent object, feel a little depressed......

The smell is similar, and Zhang Rongkun feels that he has accepted the right apprentice. This apprentice is timid, has good qualifications, and what is even more rare is that he is open-minded and flexible, and he is a good material for studying medicine.

What about unknown origins? What if it's a girl? None of this is anything in the face of the impermanence of life and death that doctors face every day.

What's more, this apprentice has some benefits that are beyond his expectations.

For example, good cooking.
