Chapter 242: The Village in the Tomb House
Holding the paper with a branch so that it could be fully burned, Wen Shuo's expression was calm, as if chatting with his relatives about homely things:
"It's been a few days since I went home this time, but I haven't been able to find time to visit you, don't be surprised. In fact, I can also spare time, mainly because I think about it, since I came to your grave, I have to talk to you for a while, just stand and leave, it's not interesting, you are lying here alone, watching, guarding the embankment and the skirting river, it's very lonely......"
"Since I went to Beijing last year, I have made some achievements. Although I didn't devote more time to the cultivation of the mystic law, the good news is that the environment in Jingcheng University is suitable for cultivation, and my cultivation has improved. ”
"The capital is quite evil, although I am now familiar with the environment there, when I practice and practice, I will not bear the terrifying and majestic suppression of heaven and earth nature, but in my heart, I am always nervous, afraid that if I am not careful one day, I will encounter a sudden, unbearable backlash and suppression. ”
"Sometimes I think about it, the object I've been afraid of is God, and I'm working against God, and I feel quite accomplished, it's scary, I'm a coward, ......"
"Old man, there is something I have to report to you, because I don't know if this thing is done right, but according to the so-called good and evil that you told me before, I do this kind of thing, it seems that it is quite unpopular, because, I raised a yin and evil thing, and named it stingy, in general, it can be regarded as a refinement, but now the spirituality is not enough, I plan to continue to raise it, I don't know what it will grow into in the future. ”
"I know a man named Jing Bai, who is a master of physiognomy, this guy has great ambitions, to achieve something great in the gradually revival of the Xuanmen rivers and lakes, and to contribute to the revival of the Xuanmen rivers and lakes...... He also wanted to pull me in, but I didn't want to, so I repeatedly rejected him. However, this person is not bad-hearted, and his words are quite sincere. ”
"You met a lot of people when you went to Xiangjiang Port, and you're quite famous, aren't you?"
"There is cause and effect, it is really mysterious to think about it, the people you met in Xiangjiang Port at the beginning met me in the middle of the road, and then my teacher knew about you and my situation......
"Jing Bai said that there are five techniques of metaphysics, which one are you cultivating?"
"What is our inheritance?"
"I don't even have a name, how can I mix in the rivers and lakes in the future? At least the whole thing is bright, such as 'Invincible Immortal Method', 'First Xuan', 'Fighting the World for 5,000 Years', 'Immortal Extermination Move' or something......"
"It's not that I want to break into the rivers and lakes, Jing Bai's sentence is right, since I can't hide in the deep mountains and old forests and just care about practicing and forgetting the red dust, then I am already in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Speaking of which, it's all your fault, old man......"
......
The paper bundle had burned out, Wen Shuo took out a bottle of Wuliangye, unscrewed the lid and poured it on the ashes little by little, leaving some left, and drank it all in one go.
Smash it, smash it, and put the wine bottle in front of the tombstone.
Wen Shuo got up and said with a smile: "It's just rained, so I won't give you an old kowtow...... I know in my heart that I will accept apprentices in the future, but not now, after all, I am so young, like a half-old man to be a master, right?"
"If you come back less in the future, you miss me, so give me a dream. ”
"Oh, by the way, what is the mystery of the painting you always hung in the hall? I'm at home, so I'll take it out and look at it for a while when I have time, and I also tried to sense it with the gas machine, but I didn't find anything, but I just felt that there must be something strange in it......
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
"At the beginning...... You've only left a few words that have disappeared, and you'll never come back to see me......"
"You old man, it's not interesting enough!"
Wen Shuo muttered and complained that he had drunk two or two bars just now, but at this moment, he felt a little dizzy from the wine.
Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.
Borrowing wine to dissolve thoughts, thinking more strongly......
On the way home, Wen Shuo went to the old house.
The yard is lush with trees, but almost all the open space that can be cultivated is planted with ridges and ridges of all kinds of fresh vegetables, cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, rape, coriander, and so on, just after the rain...... Verdant.
Although the paint surface of the doors and windows of the three tiled rooms is mottled, they are wiped clean, and when you enter the house, there is no furniture, it looks a little empty, but it is obvious that it is often carefully cleaned and tidy.
It's like, it's inhabited all year round.
Suddenly, I heard a few toads chirping from the vegetable ridges in the yard, causing bursts of cicadas to sound among the branches of the trees.
Wen Shuo's mood suddenly became much more comfortable.
Maybe here, don't listen to the world, don't ask about the world, and live quietly and leisurely for a while, which is also a rare enjoyment, right?
It's a pity......
I don't have that leisure, so I am reluctant to squeeze out too much leisure time to squander and enjoy.
Hearing footsteps in the courtyard, Wen Shuo retracted his thoughts.
"Is Wen Shuo at home?"
"Lao Liu. Wen Shuo smiled, turned around and walked out.
Liu Maohe had already walked into the courtyard, and when he saw Wen Shuo, he immediately showed a respectful look, and said: "I went to patrol the embankment just now, and saw that there were traces of burned paper in front of Han Lao's grave, and there was an empty wine bottle, so I thought that eighty percent of it was your grave for him, and he should go to the house to have a look, so I followed, and I was really there." ”
"There is not much rain this year, why are you still patrolling the embankment?" Wen Shuo smiled.
"It's because there hasn't been much heavy rain so far this year that I'm worried about ......" Liu Maohe took out a cigarette, handed one to Wen Shuo, lit one himself, and said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that God will hold back his strength, and there will be a few heavy rains in the second half of the year, and this embankment can't bear it." Every time it rains this year, I will go to the embankment to see where there is a problem, and prevent it early, detect it early, and solve it as soon as possible. ”
Wen Shuo looked at Liu Maohe's expression, as if he was telling a lie, so he smiled and teased: "Yo, Village Chief Liu is really dedicated to the people." ”
"Alas. Liu Maohe smiled bitterly, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a puff of smoke: "Since you went to the capital last year, I have been pondering, what have you done all these years when you are almost fifty years old...... As a result, I have done too many bad things, although in this Liu family camp, we are the number one person, but in private, who is not poking my back and scolding? ”
Wen Shuo was stunned, and looked Liu Maohe up and down carefully: "Old Liu, what kind of good man are you pretending to be here with me?"
"It's true. Liu Maohe said embarrassedly: "You see, the road in the north of the village goes all the way to the river embankment, and a large section of the black slag road is all re-paved at my own expense, and I didn't need to pay a penny from the village committee and the villagers! ”
Wen Shuo smiled and nodded, he could guess that Liu Maohe might be sincere in doing good things for the village, but building this road ......
Most of the reason, you still want to please me, right?
Because my old house is here, because, the grave of the old Han Tou, is on the river embankment.
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. Liu Maohe said sincerely: "I have been in contact with your brothers a few times, and every time I hear them talk about your past, the fame of this middle brother, it is really not just a fist, the most important thing is to convince people with reason!"
Wen Shuo smiled slightly, approachable.
"And. Liu Maohe continued: "Even if you are tight, you have not treated the brothers who followed you badly, and when you went to the capital, you also helped to close the relationship between the brothers and pointed out the way to make a fortune...... I can't do that anyway. So, I reflected, why do you also fight the world with your fists, I also rely on the number of people to dare to fight, and everyone is convinced of you, but I have a reputation of being cursed by my ancestors for eight generations in private?"
"Hey, Lao Liu......" Wen Shuo waved his hand modestly: "It's an exaggeration, it's an exaggeration!"
"It's true. Liu Maohe looked at Wen Shuo, his eyes showed extremely sincere reverence: "Later, I secretly made up my mind, although it is impossible to be as rich and intelligent as you in this life, I also want to take you as an example, do more good deeds, do not embarrass you, save my reputation, and accumulate virtue for future generations!"
"Good, good. Wen Shuo patted Liu Maohe's shoulder, encouraged and praised him, and then took out the key to the old mansion from his pocket, handed it to Liu Maohe, and said: "In two days, I will go to the capital, this time my mother will go with me, and the old house will be left to you to take care of, don't waste so many vegetables planted, you can share some with the neighbors if you can't finish eating at home, ah." ”
Liu Maohe's eyes were suddenly moist and excited.
He felt that such a trust undoubtedly showed that Wen Shuo had great trust in him. And to be able to get Wen Shuo's trust like this, that is his own creation, his own blessing, and his own good deeds!
"I, I'll go home and get the money to ......" Liu Maohe said excitedly: "Growing some vegetables, your mother has worked hard." ”
"Am I short of that money?" Wen Shuo said with a straight face.
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry!" Liu Maohe hurriedly smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, isn't it, Wen Shuo is ...... I heard that it is worth tens of millions?
What is the concept of 10 million?
Liu Maohe, the richest man in Liujiaying Village, has always felt that he is also a rich man, and he feels that he is really a toad at the bottom of the well.
How lucky to know a real dragon that soars from the rivers, lakes and seas and can travel the world!
"In the future, we must do more good deeds, and it is right to accumulate virtue after all. Wen Shuo turned around and locked the door of the house, and while walking out, he said to Liu Maohe, who was following him step by step: "However, you must have a degree in everything you do, don't go from one extreme to the other, I don't approve of pure indiscriminate behavior." ”
"I, I don't understand......" Liu Maohe scratched his head vigorously, looking confused.
"Stupid!" Wen Shuo scolded, and while locking the courtyard door, he said: "You have to make yourself and your relatives comfortable first, you can't eat bran every day in order to do good deeds, right? Let me tell you, the poorer you are, the less things you can do, the smaller! The richer you are, the greater your strength in all aspects, the more good people and good deeds you can do." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, oops!" Liu Maohe patted his head and said flatteringly: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." ”
"Heh!" Wen Shuo smiled indifferently......
