Chapter 4: My Friends and My Enemies
Xiaoxiu held me, full of spring breeze for a while, many people in the family are new faces, they have never seen my appearance, hearing this girl shouting "The young master is back", they couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and they all gathered around to see the excitement.
As soon as I entered the hall with my front feet, I saw my mother turn out surrounded by the maids, so I couldn't help but shout with joy: "Mother, I'm back." ”
When my mother saw my loving face, she cried with joy on the spot: "Son, my mother is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but she is looking forward to you back!" ”
I pulled my mother to sit down, helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm back, it's a good thing, why are you crying." ”
My mother said: "Let my mother take a good look, tsk, your second uncle is really ruthless, his own nephew, can toss like this, and he won't let you come back to eat the reunion dinner for the New Year, what is this called!" ”
I said, "Mother, I'm fine, there is no shortage of food or clothing in the business gang, and the second uncle is good to me." ”
My mother touched my face and sighed: "Look at you, your face is tanned, and you have lost weight, it's really distressing for my godmother." ”
I smiled and said, "Mother, I'm grown up now!" Okay, if nothing else, I have a hundred thousand urgent things to say first. ”
Seeing that I was in a hurry, my mother asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" If you have something to say, say it quickly. ”
I pretended to be mysterious and asked in a small voice: "Mother, is there still food at home, am I hungry......"
My mother laughed when she heard this.
"Oh, look you're hungry."
"Xiaoxiu, hurry up and ask the cook to cook a few good hot dishes, and serve them quickly, so that your young master will be hungry."
After a while, the food was served, I devoured several bowls of rice, and when I had finished eating, I touched my greasy mouth, and then the family members around the door were in a disorder, and I heard someone shouting: "Borrow, borrow!" ”
Before the words fell, a bald monk emerged from the crowd.
Seeing that my mother didn't have any courtesy, the monk opened his mouth and asked, "Auntie, do you still have food?" I'm so hungry. ”
When I saw him, I immediately smiled: "Okay, the relationship is good today, our brothers are good, and they are both here to ask for food." ”
The monk touched his bare head and grinned at me.
My mother gave me a blank look and said angrily, "What do you want?" Don't learn well! Say something unlucky. ”
I turned to Xiaoxiu and said, "Xiaoxiu, ask the cook to add two hot dishes first, and then serve the braised hoofed hooves stewed." Remember, you have to use a pot, I'm afraid that your cousin won't have enough to eat. ”
The monk sat down and snatched the chopsticks I handed him.
"I'll you! Also a pot! You treat me as a pig! ”
I sneered, "You are not a pig, who is a pig?" ”
The monk took a bite of a bun and rolled my eyes: "Don't bother me." My big cousin, you're a pig too! ”
I didn't look back, and nagged while eating: "Say it! How much did you lose last night? ”
This monk is even more indifferent, eating more energetically than me, "It's not much, just two pieces of ocean ......"
I slapped my chopsticks on the table and pouted, "I said Li Xiaohua, can you learn something good?" Don't let my second aunt worry about it, okay? ”
Li Xiaohua hurriedly waved her hand and muttered, "Stop, stop!" Eat now! Eat first, you see this meat is so delicious! “
He was looking for a bowl while eating, but when he saw that there was no empty bowl on the table for a while, he snatched mine.
I glared at him fiercely, "That's my bowl!" ”
But he didn't care about it, and he began to eat it.
This wine and meat monk is the only son of my second aunt, and I grew up wearing a pair of pants, and I can't be more iron.
My second aunt named him Li Xiaohua, you may wonder, why did a man have such a nondescript name?
It's his father's fault!
His father's name is Li Shiliang, twenty years ago, he was the richest family in our Nanwu County, this Li Shiliang is good for everything else, but he has a bad hobby, and this hobby eventually took his own life.
He was addicted to gambling like his life, mixed in the gambling house all day long, his family wealth was scattered and he was destitute, and finally he didn't even keep the Li family's mansion in Hongdong for five generations.
One night, he was chased by a creditor and had no way out, and a fierce man plunged into the Pingchuan River.
The next day, I found it on the mudflats downstream, but the person had already lost her breath, and my poor second aunt was still pregnant with a child at the time, so she knelt on the mudflats and cried like that.
Let the dead die, and a hundred shall be counted, but the living shall suffer.
My second aunt didn't even have a name at that time, but those creditors took the notes and went to my second aunt to collect debts.
A bunch of people who don't give up say that the second aunt is pregnant with the Li family's species, and the Li family still has an ancestral peach forest in Hongdong, and they all say that they have to wait for the child to be born anyway, and then press the handprint and give the title deed, but that peach forest has been barren for more than ten years, and a large piece of wasteland is worth a fart money, where can my second aunt expect this! She is afraid that the child will be born sinful!
She is also a face-saving person, she doesn't dare to look for my mother, for fear that my mother will count her, she is even more afraid of seeing my father, afraid that my father will look down on her......
At that time, she was wandering alone by the Pingchuan River, and her heart was full of pain, so she jumped into the river......
In fact, she didn't really want to jump into the river, she later complained to my mother about it, saying that the road was slippery on a rainy day, and she was dizzy with hunger, and she didn't pay attention and fell into the river after stumbling.
She doesn't know how to water, so she floats up and down in the water, fluttering and shouting.
At this time, a porter happened to pass by, and when this man saw someone falling into the water, he plunged into it without saying a word, and rescued her with great difficulty.
The person who saved her was a fire-headed monk of Junqing Temple, named Fa Ji, he saw that my second aunt was tired like a puddle of mud, and quickly asked, and after asking, he was anxious, and he hadn't eaten for two days, but fortunately he carried some leftover steamed buns in the burden, and hurriedly took them out to my second aunt, and my second aunt devoured the mud for a while.
When the monk saw that she was a woman with a big belly, he couldn't think about it, so he asked her why.
My second aunt was distressed, and when she saw someone asking, she told Monk Faji about her experience.
After hearing this, Faji persuaded her: "Female benefactor, ants are still stealing life, let alone people?" The little monk is an outsider, and he shouldn't be involved in this worldly matter......"
"You wait a while......" The second aunt interrupted Faji's words, and her eyes gradually lit up.
"You...... You repeat what you just said. ”
Faji was stunned for a moment, and was stared at by my second aunt, so he stammered: "Ants are still stealing life, let alone human ......"
"It's not this, the next sentence ......" The second aunt looked impatient.
Fa Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You shouldn't be involved in this mundane matter......
"That's right! That's it! My second aunt jumped up and shouted with joy: "This can be regarded as saved!" ”
Boy! My second aunt roared like this! She had just caught it herself, and Faji almost didn't scare her into the river.
Later, the second aunt pestered Faji and followed her to Junqing Temple to settle down, that Junqing Temple is a place outside the square, and the creditors are not easy to harass, so she settled in Junqing Temple with peace of mind, and then gave birth to the child.
In order to avoid debts, the second aunt began to talk nonsense.
She not only told the creditors that the child died, but also casually gave the child the nickname "Little Flower", which is neither male nor female. How could those creditors have expected that this "girl" called "Xiaohua" who plays in the fields at the gate of the temple all day long is actually Li Shiliang's widow!
Later, the monk Faji couldn't resist my second aunt's pleading, and when Xiaohua was six years old, he personally shaved him, and according to the order of the Rinzai sect's "only pass on the Dharma seal, enlightenment will be integrated", Li Xiaohua was given a Dharma name of the printing generation, called "Yin Zhi", and my second aunt was overjoyed when she heard this Dharma name, and she was overjoyed and applauded loudly on the spot.
Why?
Isn't this seal wisdom just "silver"?
My second aunt was born to be a greedy person, she was originally intended to be married to my father by my grandfather, but I didn't think that she looked down on my father, disliked my father for being poor, and followed the rich son Li Shiliang, but Nacheng wanted to be involved, and he was short of money in this life!
Now that she has seen "Silver", can she not be happy?
Another thing is that it is a coincidence that Li Xiaohua was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as me, so she was half an hour late. Didn't there be a saying when Yi married Jin Lan, "I can't be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I hope to die on the same day and month of the same year"? Now it's okay, we both save the connection.
From now on, he will be my hardest buddy.
When he was a child, he still lived in the temple, and his life was hard but happy.
His master, the monk Faji, is a fire-headed monk, who is a miscellaneous monk in Junqing Temple, and he adheres to the Buddhist principles of the Rinzai sect's casual epiphany, so he turns a blind eye to my cousin.
In my opinion, he didn't care, but didn't care at all, shook off the shopkeeper, and herded my cousin like a cow.
Later, Li Xiaohua didn't know how to eat, drink and gamble except for chanting, and he also got a great benefit from his father Li Shiliang.
You may be wondering, what good can a dead ghost father do to his son who has never met in person?
This Li Shiliang, I heard my second aunt say when she nagged, it was Feng Shen handsome and looked like Pan An, handsome and dashing...... Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so fascinated that she wouldn't marry my father.
And Li Xiaohua got this benefit, she is a hippie smiling face and has no shape, but she looks really handsome!
If his appearance ranked second in the entire Nanwu County, no one would dare to rank first!
His ability to provoke girls is even more first-class, and he has earned a nickname, known as "Huahua Monk", good guy! Lu Zhishen is called "Flower Monk", you have a big fart doll and one more "flower" word than other Liangshan heroes! That alone is enough to put me on the back burner.
If the villagers of Nanwu County heard that he was coming, all the girls in the family would quickly close the door, and they would not dare to come out, for fear that he would come out of a crack and kidnap their own girl with a look.
Now, this handsome "Huahua Monk" is lying on the table of the Eight Immortals in my house, eating with a mouth full of oil.
At this time, Xiaoxiu came up with two dishes, and said to me with a smile: "Young master, the master is very happy these days, last month I asked someone to send a letter to the second master, saying that I have to give you a holiday no matter what, you came back at this time It can be regarded as a coincidence, and the family invited the opera team to come in the evening, all of whom are famous characters in Longyan Mansion!" ”
Li Xiaohua buried me and said, "Look at it, people have different fates!" What kind of incense did you say you burned in your last life? How did you get reincarnated? Why didn't I have this life! ”
I picked up a big oily hoof and stuffed it into Li Xiaohua's bowl.
"If you can't stop your mouth for this, you can eat your flesh!"
Li Xiaohua bit her hoove, chewed so much that the stars flew sideways, if it weren't for the handsome person, she would really look like a pig, my mother and the surrounding maids saw it, and laughed for a while.
Later in the evening my father came back from the herb shop, and my mother explained to me early in the morning, and although I was full of reluctance, I still went over to listen to his nagging. Then I had dinner with them, and in the evening, I drank tea and ate fruits with Li Xiaohua and Xiaoxiu while watching the play. I drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet, I saw that the maids were fascinated by watching the play, and I didn't want to sweep everyone's interest, so I went to find the toilet myself.
My mother is particularly superstitious, believe in Buddhism and believe in Catholicism, listen to those monks and Taoists nonsense, I like to change the garden, and since I left home last year, this garden has really changed a lot, I held a soak of urine and walked around and couldn't find the toilet, I was in a hurry to run everywhere, a run actually ran to the backyard, I was in a hurry to get on the fire, but I saw a big house not far in front of me was lit up, so I hurriedly ran to the door, to the door only to see that there were four or five big stoves inside, this place is actually the kitchen room.
I hurriedly asked, "Anyone?" Where's the latrine? ”
There was no one in the room, I saw that the back door of the room was half hidden, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, only to see a wall a few steps away, and there was a wooden barrel under the wall, I was about to be suffocated by urine at this time, and saw that there was no figure around, so I hurriedly took a few steps up, took out the second child and peed out on the wooden bucket, and it was hot and peed out, not to mention how cool it was!
I exhaled deeply, and my whole body relaxed, and at that moment, a scream suddenly sounded in my ears!
"Ahh
I was so scared that I was stunned on the spot!
I followed the sound closely, and saw a little girl standing at the base of the wall, covering her face and stomping her feet. I was stunned for a while before I realized that I was still bare, and hurriedly pulled up my pants!
While fastening my trouser belt, I slurred, "I...... I didn't mean to......"
But the girl pointed at me and scolded, "You...... You shameless! ”
Jiao Didi's voice was angry and ashamed.
My nemesis...... Who did I recruit and who messed with me?
