A remote mountain village in the southwest of the Zhou Dynasty

"Yo, aquatic, still working in the fields? It's all sunset," said a chubby village woman on the ridge of the field to the busy teenager in the field

Teenagers are aquatic

"Aunt Li, are you going home? I'll be a little bit, after inserting the last martingale, I'll be good right away! Hehe," Shui Sheng said politely

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Hehe, what? Want to do more if you want to marry a girl? ”

Shui Sheng smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, this ...... Is Aunt Li home? ”

"Isn't that what a drop? It's sunset, and my husband and baby are waiting for me to go back to cook! Aunt Li didn't joke anymore and replied directly

"Okay, my aunt won't ask anymore, I'll go back"

"Hehe, Aunt Li will see you back" Shui Sheng greeted respectfully

"It's really polite, the baby is really good, urge the girl to be blessed" Aunt Li said that the person had already gone away

Shui Sheng smiled......

Because his marriage with Yingying has been decided, it was Uncle Cui and Godmother who agreed, and Shui Sheng has no parents, so they all obeyed the arrangement of Uncle Cui and Godmother, measured the eight characters, and made a marriage contract at the beginning of last month, and listened to the words of Mr. Countin in the village, and agreed to complete the marriage at the end of the year

It's early autumn and the end of the year is not far away, so Shui Sheng is happy and motivated

Shui Sheng is seventeen this year, and Cui Yingying is sixteen, the two have a good impression of each other and have met privately for three years, although the defense of men and women is very strict at this time, but it is not particularly prominent in this remote village, Uncle Cui They also turn a blind eye. Because the two elders think that they are a good match, and they are also very satisfied with the aquatic life!

"Hehe, Sister Yingying is going to be my daughter-in-law, hehe"

Bent down to plant seedlings, but he was very happy, and said to himself with a smile on his face!

"Hmm...... The Tao is very good, and it is very good. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous.

The beginning of the nameless world; The mother of all things.

Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonders; Often, I want to see it.

These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ”

Shui Sheng, who was busy in the field, suddenly heard an old voice, he looked up, and saw an old man in a green robe riding a green ox to drink a gourd and say a word!

Shui Sheng didn't understand, but he thought it sounded interesting

Seeing that the green ox was approaching, because the fields here were outside the village, and entering the village had to pass through here, so the old man came, and the water also stood up

"Hey, old man, are you entering the village? Also, what did you just read? Sounds interesting, can I learn from you? Shui Sheng said respectfully

Looking at this time, he found Shui Sheng, he glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes became very strange, he looked at Shui Sheng carefully and said, "Hey, how old are you?" ”

Shui Sheng didn't expect the old man to ask him back, and asked about his age, but he still replied honestly: "Old man, the kid is seventeen years old this year, can I learn what you just said?" I'd love to understand what that means! ”

The old man stared at Shui Sheng for two or three seconds, then put down the gourd and said, "I can teach you, I will stay in the village for three days, and you can come to the back mountain of the village to find me every day." ”

"Ah, thank you, sir! The boy has saluted you! Shui Shenggang was still strange that the old gentleman was staring at him, he thought that the old gentleman was unwilling, but he didn't expect the old gentleman to agree, and he was overjoyed

After the old man finished speaking, he did not stop, and went directly into the village

Shui Sheng kept seeing the old gentleman disappear, and the last time he saw the old gentleman was on the way to the back mountain, he didn't expect the old man to go directly to the back mountain. He didn't stop in the village, which made Shui Sheng feel very weird. But he didn't care about that, because it was about to get completely dark, he should go back, he was going to Uncle Cui's house, because he said this morning that he would go there for dinner in the evening!

Shui Sheng packed up the farm tools, and then went straight into the village and came to Uncle Cui's house for tickets

You must know that Shui Sheng generally agrees to come over for dinner, and the Ying Ying Ying will definitely wait for him in front of the door, but Shui Sheng found that the Ying Ying Ying did not appear today, but there were bursts of crying from the Cui family

Shui Sheng hurriedly put down the farm tools in his hand and rushed directly into the yard, because he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness

When the aquatic life came to the courtyard, he did not stop, and opened the door suddenly

The door opened, and the crying in the room paused for a moment, and when the water was seen, the crying sounded again......

Shui Sheng was already stunned, and he found Uncle Cui lying on the bed, his face pale and dying. And Yingying and Godmother hid their faces and cried by the bedside

"What's going on?" Shui Sheng asked, he looked at Uncle Cui, and his uneasy heart became thicker and thicker

"Woo...... Brother Shui, Daddy, Daddy...... Daddy, he suddenly fell to the ground after eating, and the doctor in the village came to see him and said that he was angry anymore, and he was bloody, and said that Daddy couldn't live tonight, and his mother said that he couldn't live until he would never see him again, woo woo......" Cui Yingying cried and said, she was already crying even more sadly

"How can this be, isn't Uncle okay this morning? Godmother, what's going on? Shui Sheng asked in disbelief

The godmother wiped her tears, she sighed and said: "Hey, Lao Cui was born a year before Yingying was born, and he fell sick when he was young, and Lang Zhong said that Lao Cui had blood in his chest, and said that there were still sixteen years to live for quiet recuperation, so many years have passed, I thought it was okay, I didn't expect it to be so sudden today, it was fine a moment ago, and it was gone all of a sudden, hey, it's all fate, it's all fate!" Lao Cui himself said at the time that it is already a long life to live for another sixteen years, and he said that this life is earned! Godmother's tears kept falling

"Ahem, the aquatic is back? You come here," Lao Cui's weak voice sounded

The tears of the water came out at once, he grew up in the village since he was a child, and it was always Uncle Cui who took care of him, and he encountered the matter of birth, old age, sickness and death for the first time today, he didn't understand, why do people die, and what is death? However, seeing Uncle Cui's weak appearance, he felt sad for no reason, and he panicked for no reason!

"Uncle, I'm here, I'm here," Shui Sheng stepped forward and held Uncle Cui's hand and cried

Uncle Cui showed a smile: "Why are you crying?" Do you know why people die? Do you know what death is? Are you crying? ”

"I don't know, but I just can't control my desire to cry, uncle, the kid is sad and sad, the kid doesn't know why, woo woo woo ......!" The water cried even louder

The godmother couldn't bear to look at it anymore, she knew what Lao Cui was going to say next, she turned around slightly and wiped her tears silently

Uncle Cui said: "Hehe, this, everyone will die, it's just that sooner or later is different, I can live to 45 is already a high lifespan, and now there are very few people who can live past the age of 40, uncle's life is earned, uncle has no regrets!" Death, that is, there is no more, that is, life has come to an end! ”

Aquatic is a little confused

"It's okay if you don't understand, because you will understand in the future, everyone has everyone's life, we can't escape, you have to remember, I'm dead, this family is just a male for you, you have to shoulder it!"

"Uncle, don't worry!" Aquatic Beings somewhat understood

Uncle Cui smiled and said: "Very good, since you were a child, Uncle has seen that you are stable and more responsible than children of the same age." The most correct thing uncle has done in his life is to save you back then! ”

Shui Sheng trembled when he saw Uncle Cui speak, so he held Uncle Cui's hand and said, "Uncle, don't say it, you are very weak now"

"No, Uncle has to say it, because if you don't say it, you won't have a chance! Uncle used to be in the army in the outside world, that is, he fought a war, he killed a lot of people in his life, he should have died a long time ago, Uncle can live until now is earned, don't be sad, after I die, you have to take good care of Yingying and your godmother"

"I will" Aquatic was determined

"Yingying, aquatic, I want to delay your marriage, because of filial piety, you can only get married after three years, but uncle don't worry about your feelings, Yingying, you have to be a good daughter-in-law, cough cough!" Uncle Cui trembled even more

"Uncle, don't talk about it," Aquatic Life said

Uncle Cui didn't care about Shui Sheng's words, he seemed to use all his strength and said: "Shui Sheng, you may be a child left over from the war, your father and mother may still be in the world, if one day they find you, no matter what your identity is, what your origin, you must promise Uncle to treat Yingying well for a lifetime!" ”

Shui Sheng wondered Uncle Cui's words, but he looked at the red and swollen Yingying who was already crying and nodded firmly: "I promise"

Uncle Cui's eyes widened, and the whole person suddenly became energetic

"After all, people can't get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death, maybe only immortals can! Old woman, with you in this life, I will die without regrets! That's enough for my life, hahaha! ”

After Uncle Cui finished his last sentence, he suddenly laughed, laughing loudly, but the next moment her smile froze, and his eyes closed, his body lay down, and the whole person's life disappeared in an instant!

"Lao Cui!"

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"
