Chapter Twenty-Three: Awakening
Soon the final exam is coming, and this year my parents want me to go to S City for the New Year, and my heart is extremely excited after learning the news! Of course, I'm not alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, my aunt tried her best to persuade me to be at home for the New Year. It's just that my aunt is not a good lobbyist, and besides, our family hasn't seen each other for so many years, how can we be moved by her words?
Seeing my resolute attitude, my aunt finally helped me buy a bus ticket with my uncle's extremely reluctant expression. I think in my uncle's opinion, if I were gone, there would be one less person in the store who was a free clerk, a nanny, and a tutor.
Because I spend most of my time here helping the store, taking care of their meals, and finally tutoring his children. Best of all, you don't have to give money! On the contrary, his parents have to give him a living allowance every year! Where can you find such a bargain?
My aunt helped me pack a lot of things, including food, fresh and dry goods, and bacon or something, anyway, a big bag full of them. What gives me the most headache is that there is also a big bag of Chinese medicine, which is enough for me to drink the whole winter vacation!
Ever since I went back to my aunt's house, the medicine has not stopped, and although it is useless, I have to drink it every day in order to hide my eyes.
Because it's the first time I've gone far away, and it's alone. There were some mistakes along the way, but though I was careful enough, I left my pockets in the store.
When I got on the bus, I was eager to see my parents and sister right away! But God always seems to like to joke with me, this one-day drive was delayed for half a day due to traffic jams, and I didn't have a mobile phone on me, so my father waited at the station for half a day in vain.
When the train arrived at the station, I saw my father in the wind watching the crowd coming in and out of the station. Because the wind was so strong, my father's tears and snot couldn't stop flowing, and my eyes were a little hot.
"Dad, I'm ......," I shouted, but my throat choked and I couldn't speak.
Dad heard my cry and immediately came over, wiped the dripping snot, and took the luggage from my hand.
By the time my dad took me home with a large bag of luggage on a borrowed e-bike, it was already dark.
As soon as I returned to my parents' place, I saw my mother busy in the kitchen, and there were already several dishes on the table, all of which I usually love to eat.
"Mom......"
My voice was a little shaky, I hadn't seen my parents for several years, and I felt like they had lost weight and my father had darkened.
"Arrived? Put your things down and sit down for a while, and the meal will start immediately......" Mom turned to me and smiled, and then went back to the things in the pot.
"Is my sister still at work?" I didn't see my sister, so I asked my parents.
"Your sister is washing vegetables in the bathroom!" Dad said to me as he turned on the TV.
"Brother......" My sister was washing vegetables, and after hearing the sound, she poked her head out of the crack in the door and smiled at me.
When eating, I habitually take two pairs of chopsticks, one pair as a male chopstick, only used to pick up vegetables, not to directly contact my mouth. The other pair is my own chopsticks, which can only be used in my own bowl.
Of course, this habit was developed in the aunt's house. Not only that, but the bowl I ate at my aunt's house was also separate from theirs, which I called the "cat bowl" myself. All this, of course, was to isolate me and avoid "infecting" the disease to them.
"It's my own ......"
Dad said something to me in a deep voice, and Mom silently removed the extra pair of chopsticks in my hand.
"I feel like I'm at home in my own home, so why be so restrained?" My sister said to me with a smile.
At this time, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and they slipped out of my eyes one by one. The grievances and humiliations hidden in the depths of my heart erupted with tears.
"A place where you have parents is home!" There was only one thought in my mind.
The next morning, my parents and sister went to work. Because I was too tired from the car, my parents didn't wake me up. Dad went to the construction site, and it usually took ten days and half a month to go home. My sister usually lives in the dormitory provided by the company, and she only goes home on weekends. So from Monday to Friday I was home alone during the day, and at night it was just me and my mom who ate together.
In the afternoon, when my mother got off work, I went to the supermarket with her to buy groceries and then came back to prepare dinner. I almost always watched my cooking skills from my mother, so I had to work hard in front of her.
I didn't say anything all night, and my mother got up early the next morning. Although she was light-hearted, I woke up anyway. I wanted to call her, but I found out that my mother was soaking the leftover rice from last night in boiling water!
Listening to the sound of my mother eating cold and hard rice, I felt like my heart was being torn by a knife. It wasn't until my mother carefully closed the door that I opened my eyes.
After Liu Xin left, I have been feeling sorry for myself and getting by. But my parents, who were working hard to earn money outside, were reluctant to buy steamed buns because they didn't have time to go to work, so they could only use boiling water to soak rice!
And I'm messing around with the money they earn like this!
My parents didn't have high expectations for me, they just wanted me to get ahead, be able to get into a slightly better university, and then find a good job, and not work as hard as they did, so they spared no effort to fight for me. But in my current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill my parents' wishes.
Liu Xin is gone, and she has taken my soul with her. Without her, I felt as if life had lost its joy, and I had let up after the news of the old man's granddaughter. I just want to wait until I see her on Tanabata and unlock her forbidden spell, and then my task will be completed. Then, like this, I lived my ordinary life.
That's what I've thought over the years, and that's exactly what I've done. At this moment, I suddenly realized that I have been such a bastard in the past few years!
I never thought about the feelings of my parents, and the feelings of those who cared about me, and I ignored them. I'm just immersed in my own sadness, I think if Liu Xin is here, she will scold me too!
To be a man, you should look forward. In the past, no matter how hard you try, there is no way to recover anything. If you keep living in the regrets of the past, you will never be able to get out. It's better to live today, don't let today become a regretful yesterday!
After figuring it out, I felt a lot more relaxed, and a sense of relief arose.
In this case, I should start a new life and make Liu Xin a good memory to cherish in my heart.
On weekends, my parents and sister don't go to work, so they have a table of delicious food at home. At night, when Dad was taking a shower, he accidentally flashed to his waist!
When my mother was massaging my father with medicinal wine, I opened my false eyes and probed his injuries, but I saw that there was a black gas in my father's body.
"Mom, I'll help Dad rub it!" Shocked, I found an excuse to scrutinize the black gas for my father.
This black qi is no different from the old man who helped me force out of my body in the first place, and it should also be the curse power of my grandmother and her cousin (the old man's junior brother). I tried my best, but I couldn't dissolve this black qi. At the beginning, even the old man couldn't completely dissolve the curse in my body, not to mention that my skills and Taoism were far inferior to his old man's me?
"Alas, when the quilt is rubbed like this, it really doesn't hurt!" Dad said happily.
I used my true qi to dispel the bruises caused by my father's sprain, of course, it won't hurt anymore, but I can't help the black qi.
After seeing my father, I used my false eyes to probe my mother and sister's physical condition, but fortunately I didn't find any black gas in their bodies.
I think this curse should only work in the males of the direct descendants of my grandfather, this is to make our Song family unique! Sure enough, it's extremely vicious!
I was filled with grief and indignation, but I could do nothing but watch as the curse eroded my father's body. I clenched my fists, and there was an immediate creaking sound between my knuckles.
Thinking of this, my heart is full of remorse!
All along, I was too selfish. I only knew that I was uncomfortable, but I never cared about my parents' feelings.
Obviously, you can fulfill your parents' college dreams with a little snack, but you just have to get by and live a chaotic life; Obviously, you can dissolve the curse on your father by cultivating hard, but all you know all day is self-pity.
For a moment, shame and guilt filled my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
Since I have wasted so much time and failed my parents' expectations, I will try my best to make up for it now.
From now on, I must live an optimistic and positive life! I carry the hope of too many people, and only when I cheer up can I protect those who love me and those I love!
At this moment, my mind was extremely clear! My mind is so strong! I have to study hard and practice hard, only in this way can I help the people around me get out of danger!
For the sake of the promise to the elderly, for the safety of the old man's granddaughter, for the parents and those relatives, for Liu Xin, and even more for myself, no matter what, I have to cheer up again and never give up!
When people live in the world, they are always unable to avoid joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death. But while grieving, we should consider cherishing the people around us, rather than letting them become your regrets in the future. It is not an escape from life, an escape from the laws of nature.
And you can't live only for yourself, but also for those who love you, who give silently behind you, and those you love dearly!
Everyone has something in their hearts that they want to protect, and what I want to protect is everyone around me who loves me and the people I love. But I got into a blind spot, and I felt that guarding them was not letting them leave me.
However, since ancient times, no one has been able to break the law of life and death! Human beings seem too small in heaven and earth, and only emotions are the most eternal existence.
As long as there are eternal feelings for each other in the depths of each other's hearts, and there are indelible memories in the depths of their minds, even at the ends of the earth, their hearts are still connected by the bonds of feelings.
At this moment, I was truly enlightened!
At the moment when I realized it, my cultivation, which had been stagnant because of my decadence, was actually improved! The Tao Sutra, which was originally running with energy, also became extremely active at this moment.
Cultivating the Tao is, in fact, cultivating the state of mind.
Those who have attained the Tao often give people the feeling that they are immortal and do not eat the fireworks of the world, but in fact, this is all due to their state of mind. Changes in mood often cause changes in temperament, which is why people feel this way.
Some people's mood fluctuates, so in the end, they have to go to the red dust to experience, and only after seeing through the red dust can they achieve positive results.
And those who are too obsessed can't get out of their hearts, and in the end they will fall into the devil's path and go to the path of becoming a demon!
Ever since Liu Xin left, I have been in a state of decadence and depression, which can be regarded as a dilemma in my heart.
Because the Taoist mind and state of mind are closely related, my cultivation has also stagnated because of this.
After awakening this time, I broke through the obstacle that was bothering me, and my Dao heart was trained and I made a breakthrough in my state of mind.
This triggered a chain reaction, so that Xiuwei also made a breakthrough as a matter of course.
"Old man, Liu Xin, it should be you who bless me in the dark, right? Rest assured, no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, even if there are many difficulties in front of me, I will not give up! I won't let you down again! I looked up at the sky and said with great firmness in my heart.
