Chapter 264: Change is needed
And the reason why so much energy is wasted, to put it bluntly, is because I don't know where to put my energy at all.
In fact, on the other hand, I have been in the house for more than a year, almost every time I come out to do errands, it is someone else's carrying, before the second master took me to take charge of the thrift store, after taking charge of the thrift store, the first time I was in charge of the foreign order, there was also a Yan Yanan with me, and later Su Yunbin was killed, with Sha Wenxiao and Bao Youyong by my side, and Wu Lin was next to help me.
Except for this time, the only time Li Huaishan and I acted alone was the time we went to the southwest chrysalis village.
Looking back now, Li Huaishan and I almost fell into someone else's way that time, if it wasn't for the Netherworld Tongbao who helped us at the most critical time, the two of us would probably have died underground long ago.
Even this time, if there were no hammers, Li Huaishan and I wouldn't know what to look like now.
People said that we were rookies, but they didn't wronged us at all.
Li Huaishan leaned on the head of the bed and sighed at me: "It's a shame this time." ”
I scratched my temples a little irritably, sighed sullenly, and said, "We've got to make a plan." ”
Li Huaishan raised his hands, hugged the back of his head, and asked me with interest, "What is the plan?" ”
I still couldn't help but sigh before I spoke: "You have to design and design what will happen in a year, for example, what kind of person you will become in a year, what kind of cultivation you will achieve in a year, and you have to make a plan." ”
Hearing my words, Li Huaishan frowned: "Don't make trouble, this is not how many points you have to score in the exam, how many questions you have to do every day, how do you make a plan?" ”
I patted my ass and stood up: "Anyway, at least there must be a string in your heart, what can be done and what should not be done, your mind must be clear, and you can't be so muddy anymore." No, I'll have to make a list of what I can and can't do. ”
Li Huaishan smiled helplessly, he seemed to be a little dismissive of my thoughts, until I took out a pen and paper from the suitcase, Li Huaishan said: "You really want to write these things on paper, you are not a child who has just entered school, and you have to get a student code for yourself." Besides, Bao Youyi also said, can't you keep pressing yourself, but what are you doing now? You have to make some rules and regulations yourself, frame yourself. ”
As I scribbled on the paper, I responded, "Some people never set rules and regulations for themselves, but they never do what they promised. I don't know who it is, I said again and again that I will never be nervous anymore, but when it comes to the moment, I should be nervous or nervous, I should be stage frightened or stage fright, say what I say repeatedly, and I will never be a burden to others in the future, but when it comes, it is still a burden. ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Huaishan was immediately unhappy: "If you don't have to, who are you talking about?" ”
I didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, I just said to him: "Ergou, have you found out, sometimes, some things, if you don't remind yourself repeatedly on weekdays, once you encounter a hurdle, it will be easy to fall off the chain." ”
Li Huaishan opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time, and then he nodded violently, and also took out a notebook and pen from his suitcase.
That night, I pretty much stripped myself of myself from the inside out, and laid out all my problems on a piece of paper, and to tell the truth, when all the shortcomings were presented to me without reservation, I found myself a wreck.
As for what specific shortcomings I have...... For the sake of space, I won't list them all, anyway, as long as I know it in my own heart.
I don't want to be a saint, and I never want to be perfect in my life, so I don't try to correct all my shortcomings, but at the same time, I know very well that I need to change now.
I want change.
After tossing for three or four hours, Li Huaishan and I finally sorted out a "plan" for ourselves that only I could see, Li Huaishan folded his plan and put it in my jacket pocket, I read my plan several times, then took out a lighter, and burned it to ashes with a fire.
Li Huaishan saw my move, and after being stunned for three or four seconds, he also burned his own plan.
The small east bedroom was filled with the smell of plant ash, and the smoke that diffused in the air lasted for a long time.
Li Huaishan and I sat on our respective beds, looking up at the smoke floating on the roof, and silently froze for a long time.
Until Li Huaishan scolded with a smile: "Groove! I smiled and shook my head, pulling a cigarette out of my pocket and lighting it.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Lao Hu knocked on the door of the east bedroom, saying that the meal was ready, and asked Li Huaishan and I to go to the living room for dinner.
Li Huaishan and I did come out of the bedroom, but instead of eating with Lao Hu, we left home directly and went to Xiaoshanbao in the east of the village to find Old Man Zheng.
Lao Hu was busy coaxing his wife, and when Li Huaishan and I went out without a sound, he didn't notice it at all.
After coming out of Lao Hu's house, I confessed to Li Huaishan that the road in the village was too complicated for me, although I followed the owner of the shoe store to the east of the village, but I had long forgotten the road, Li Huaishan smiled at me, and consciously walked to the front to lead the way.
Li Huaishan really hadn't been to Old Man Zheng's house, but he knew how to get to the east of the village.
At night, this small urban village became very quiet, Li Huaishan walked in front, the soles of his feet touched the ground, constantly making dull footsteps, I followed him, and my heart was always a little panicked.
I'm still worried that when Old Man Zheng sees me again this time, there will be more disdain in his eyes.
Li Huaishan probably had the same concern, he had been walking in front of him until he went out from the east entrance of the village, but when the hill on the side of the road appeared in front of us, he deliberately slowed down and retreated behind me.
I took a deep breath, slowly climbed up the mountain bag, slowly raised my hand, and gently knocked on the door of Old Man Zheng's house.
At that time, I was like a junior high school student who failed an exam and was summoned to the teacher's office, and the moment I knocked on the door, I actually hoped that there was no one at Old Man Zheng's house.
But it backfired, Old Man Zheng quickly opened the door for us, and on the other side of the door, we were greeted not with disdainful eyes, but with a smile full of enthusiasm.
Seeing the smile on Old Man Zheng's face, I was also infected and gradually smiled.
After entering the house, Old Man Zheng kept thanking me and Li Huaishan, thanking us for saving the village, and at the same time brought a tea tray and invited me and Li Huaishan to drink tea.
It seems that Li Huaishan's previous worries and I were unnecessary.
Old man Zheng set up the tea tray, and Li Huaishan and I sat down by the window.
After a few cups of tea, Old Man Zheng asked me if I was here for the shoe store owner's business, I smiled and nodded, saying that this time I came to the door to ask what was going on in the village.
Why is there a ghost in the storeroom, and where does the urn used to seal the ghost come from? What kind of person is Mrs. Wang, and why did she suddenly change her body last night? And what role did the shoe store owner surnamed Wang play in this incident?
Faced with my series of questions, Old Man Zheng didn't seem to know where to start for a while, he slowly sipped the tea in the cup, kept his eyes on the edge of the coffee table, and thought quietly for a long time.
It wasn't until the tea in the cup had cooled down that Old Man Zheng spoke: "Xiao Wang's grandfather is my master." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted after a while, and the little Wang in his mouth should be the owner of the shoe store.
After saying this, Old Man Zheng fell into a short period of contemplation, and after a short while, he continued: "My master was originally not surnamed Wang, he was from Myanmar, and he helped people raise little ghosts all his life, which damaged Yin Virtue, his son was hacked to death at a young age, and his grandson was born with a bad foot. My master didn't want me to follow in his footsteps, so he only taught me some medical pharmacology, but when it came to real skills, I didn't learn much. Originally, according to my master's wishes, the things he practiced would always accompany him into the earth, and he would never see the light of day again, but when it came, there were still some things left. ”
There was no tea in Old Man Zheng's cup, but when he said this, he still brought the mouth of the cup to his mouth and took a sip as if he were used to it.
I duly asked, "What did he leave behind?" ”
Old man Zheng took a deep breath before saying that before his master died, he had compiled his life deeds into a booklet, and the reason why he sorted out such a thing was not to leave it to future generations, but to look back on his life when he was dying.
But when the old man was buried, he forgot to bury this booklet in the ground, and then the owner of the shoe store came back to clean up the relics of the old man's house, accidentally found this booklet, and learned a secret technique of relying on captive ghosts to change his luck.
The owner of the shoe shop could be regarded as the poorest person in the village before the transfer, and he had always been restless, always thinking that one day he would make a windfall, and now that he had obtained this set of secret techniques, he became greedy.
After all, it's not a magic cheat, it's just a memoir, and the spells recorded on it are also flawed.
After getting the so-called secret technique, the owner of the shoe store first secretly summoned the ghost in the village behind the old man Zheng, and originally wanted to recruit a little ghost, but he didn't expect to summon the old actor back during the Republic of China, but how did he know that the ghost was quite obsessed, and he even prepared a columbarium to support the other party.
It is estimated that it is also fate, after he made a provision for the old actor, it was really time to run, not only did he earn a few small sums of money by mistake back then, but also became the village party secretary, so he was more sure that it was the spell on the book that had an effect, so he relaxed his courage and decided to rely on the "little ghost" in the urn to make a good profit.
After stepping down from the position of party secretary, he became a seller and started a business of hoarding and selling shoes.
