Chapter Twenty-Four: The Story of Clearing
I saw that he had almost eaten, so I casually asked, "Senior brother, what is the relationship between you and Master?" Why haven't I heard you say that before? ”
Jing An's eyes darkened, and he paused obviously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 I watched him stare at the few sesame cakes left in his hand and pursed his lips for a long time, and finally as if he had made up his mind, he put all the sesame cakes in his mouth and chewed them carefully, and poured all the sesame seeds that fell into his hands into his mouth, and then stood up after puffing his hands clean, put the burden on his back and said, "It's not early, hurry up." ”
Hey, it's rare to gossip once, but people don't cooperate, I unconsciously pursed my mouth, lowered my head and followed behind with a lack of interest, losing my previous vitality.
Jing'an walked in front and must have felt my strangeness, because he didn't go far, he stood still and turned around, helplessly looking at me who was following behind. Meeting his gaze, I actually felt a little aggrieved, my mouth pursed higher, and my eyes drifted to the side.
Jing'an came over and took my hand, put his arm around my shoulder, and explained as he walked me forward: "It's not that Senior Brother deliberately hides it from you, it's really not a good memory." I looked at him sideways, as if I didn't understand. He looked ahead and slowly opened the conversation.
"When I was a child, my father died early, and my family was poor. My mother has no source of livelihood, so she can only make a living by washing people's clothes. In the cold winter, my mother's hands were frozen like carrots, swollen and swollen. When the wind blew, cracks opened one after another, bloody and pus-fused for a long time. But even so, I often don't have enough to eat.
Once, I looked at the steaming steamed buns on the stalls selling steamed buns in the neighborhood, and I couldn't resist the temptation of the incense, so I took a steamed bun and ran away, which made people catch and beat up. Therefore, the mother not only apologized to people, but also washed people's clothes for a month. Although my mother didn't blame me for anything, I watched her suffer so much in vain, which really made me more uncomfortable than anything else.
My mother said that it doesn't matter if you are poor, but you must have a backbone, and you can't do shameless things that make people look down on you. ”
"You've got an amazing mom." I was genuinely amazed and felt that it was really great.
Jing'an nodded, "Well, she's the best mother in the world. ”
I nodded and listened to him continue.
"No matter how hard the days are, some people will feel warm when they are hurt. But my mother worked hard to pull me until I was six years old. I didn't have the money to bury my mother, so I had no choice but to insert a straw label and sell myself to bury my mother. ”
I thought that my background was miserable enough, but now that I heard him say this, I realized that I had simply fallen into a honey pot. I really sympathize with him in my heart, my poor brother. I squeezed his grip on my hand as a sign of comfort. He turned his head to look at me, smiled, and squeezed my hand.
"I was so thin and small that I knelt on the street for three days, and no one would buy me. Seeing that my mother's body was stinking, I attracted flies, and the stall selling steamed buns next to me was so angry that he tried to beat me up. I was staggering and hungry and I was about to faint, and I didn't feel anything at all when the vendor was beating or scolding me, it was all buzzing in my ears, and I could even feel the breath of life gradually fading from me.
Just when I was in despair and thought that I was going to meet my mother in the underworld, Master happened to pass by. He was like a bodhisattva who saved the suffering, bought a coffin for my mother to bury, gave me food, and saved my life. Later, when he saw that I had nowhere to go, he took me up the mountain, and from then on I had no worries about food and clothing.
You say, what is Master not a great benefactor to me? How could I be where I am today without him? I don't know where I was thrown into dry bones for a long time. Therefore, I will never forget his great kindness and virtue for the rest of my life. ”
Oh, I didn't expect Master to do such a good deed, even I felt that my face was shining and I was proud of him. I praised him fiercely in my heart, worthy of being my master.
"Senior brother, if it wasn't me who came down the mountain, would you not stand up like everyone else?" I finally asked what I wanted to ask.
"What do you say?" Jing'an didn't answer directly, but asked me a rhetorical question.
"I think so." I replied firmly.
He stroked my face, pinched it, looked at me with pity in his eyes and said, "Master's most painful person is you, you are his heart." If you go down the mountain alone, he will definitely not be at ease. I don't have any skills, I can't help his old man or anything, that's all I can do. I'm going to protect you for him. ”
After a pause, he added, "Moreover, I am not at ease. ”
"I'm so lucky, you all love me so much, I'm much happier than you. But Master is so partial to me, Senior Brother, have you never been jealous? ”
He shook his head, "Everyone has everyone's life, your life is good, that's your blessing, there's nothing to be jealous of." ”
At this point, he smiled and stroked my head, "Besides, you're really nice, you're cute." ”
Listening to Jing'an's words, I became annoyed. "Senior brother, I really regret that I played tricks on you in the past. If only I had known that you were so miserable, I would have been nicer to you before. ”
"It's not too late to be nicer to me?"
Seeing Jing'an sweep away the haze, cloudy and sunny, and even my eyes smiled, I was also happy, and I couldn't help laughing and jumping, "Senior brother, when will you be joking?" If you want me to be nice to you, then you're going to arrest me? With that, I rushed down the hill first.
