Chapter 32: The Funeral of Childhood
It makes sense for Xie Ling to analyze it like this, even he can't read the Snake Wen Heavenly Book, but Zhao Lean can mark and circle it at will. This shows that Zhao Lein not only read it, but also read it and thought deeply.
The meaning of the bell is that if Zhao Lein really has such an opportunity, then it will be good. As long as he doesn't hurt people, doesn't violate the way of heaven, and has the opportunity to become an immortal, this should be considered a good thing, which is gratifying. I asked Xie Ling, if Zhao Lein really became an immortal, then what about his relationship with Qiaoqiao. Xie Ling shook his head and said, "How do I know, I have never seen an immortal. But if you think about it, the two of them will definitely not be able to get along anymore. ”
I hurriedly said, "This is not going to work. ”
Xie Ling wondered: "What should you do if the two of you can get better?" The so-called marriage is about a fate. It is natural for the two to get along, and if they can be harmonious, they will not be happy if they can't be with Qiang. Your little fellow named Zhao Chen, if there is really a day when he enters the great realm, it will be his blessing. As his friend, you should bless him. ”
Jieling asked me not to harass Qiao Qiao and Zhao Leper anymore, let them be at peace with what they encounter, the most critical issue now is how to make Li Damin ambush and plead guilty and bring him to justice. He took a sip of water, sighed and said: "People like Li Damin are very persistent, they can be said to be paranoid, unless they can change his thoughts from the root of his thoughts, otherwise it will be difficult to punish him with secular laws." Although he will still bear the cause and effect in the world, even if the karma increases, he will not feel that this is his own mistake, but regard it as a kind of tempering and test, and the heavens will descend on a great task, not only will he not be enlightened, but will become more intense. ”
"Unless you can change his faith?" I asked.
Xie Ling nodded: "I can only talk about things now, and I will talk about the rest later." Li Damin made incense on the other side, and all kinds of cause and effect cases involved in this still need to be solved by himself. I already feel it, sooner or later I'll have a face-to-face fight with him. ”
I swallowed, "I think this man is really evil." "Array of peasants' blood.
"No matter how evil it is, you have to settle accounts." Unlock the bell.
Looking at his lonely look, I have already made up my mind, this time let me play the striker for Xie Ling, and let me go to explore Li Damin's details first.
Two days later, Li Damin asked me to meet at the Shifengli residential community. There are three large residential areas in our city, which are jokingly called the three major slums by the citizens, one of which is Shifengli. You can still see the shacks built everywhere in this place, the alleys are criss-crossed, the old buildings are drooping, the streets are renovated every day, and the construction is carried out, but I don't know when it will be completed, ten years ago it was mud, and now it is still mud. Walking into the streets and alleys of the community, sewage flows sideways, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Although I wondered why I was here, I still made the appointment. When I arrived at the date, I saw that Li Damin was the only one, he was dressed very plainly, and there was no contradiction with the messy environment around him, and he looked like an ordinary person.
Pedestrians coming and going, who would have thought that the thin man in front of him would be the chief adviser of the big guy Mr. He, the maker of the incense on the other side of the drug, and the master of the evil sect who even smelled the bell.
When Li Damin saw me, he smiled and came over to shake hands.
I didn't know what his purpose was, so I coughed, cleared my throat and said, "Master Li, my second sister-in-law ......"
"There's no hurry. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere first. ”
I can't say anything, I'm out today, and I'll leave when he draws his debut.
The two of us went into the community one after the other, this community is a relatively high-end place in Shifeng, all three-storey residential buildings, a number of people live on the first floor, out of the house is an open floor corridor, you can stand on it and hold the railing overlooking the street scenery.
These buildings have been built for at least 40 years, and the wall paint has peeled off until now, which can be called the last years of the wind and candles, and no one cares about it at all, like a weathered old woman. I followed Li Damin into a building, there were no street lights in the corridor, and the black lights were blind, so I could only climb up in the dark. Through the faint light, you can see that the corridor is full of all kinds of rags in the neighbors' houses, there are broken baskets, scrapped bicycles, and rotten cabbage left behind in some unknown years and months, filled with a rotten and sour smell, which is very upper.
I really don't understand what Li Damin called me here for.
Just thinking about it, Li Damin, who was walking in front, suddenly said: "I used to live in Shifeng for a long time when I was a child, and it can be said that I spent my childhood here. ”
"Ahh I promised.
"Not in this district, though. I remember when I was in the first year of junior high school, a classmate asked me to go to his house to play, and he lived in this building at the time. ”
The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't say anything. We walked as we went.
"He lives on the third floor." As we spoke, we reached the third floor, and out of the staircase was the long hallway. On one side of the corridor are the homes of the residents, and on the other floor are railings facing the street. As we walked along the corridor, Li Damin took a deep breath and his expression was a little intoxicated: "I haven't been here for a long time, and every time I come over, I will think of my carefree youth." Let's talk about the events of that day, I went to play with my classmates, and when I walked to the door of this house......"
As he spoke, we came to the door of a house that was almost at the end of the corridor, Li Damin stopped, and I quickly stopped my feet.
Li Damin put his hands behind his back, looked at the painted iron door, and said: "For so many years, I have kept this door without changing, and every time I see this door, it will cause me to remember at that time." ”
I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”
Li Damin smiled: "It's nothing." When I got to the door, I heard 'popping' and moaning from inside. ”
As soon as he said this, I immediately understood, "And then? ”
Li Damin said: "I was still a child at the time, and I can't completely say that I am ignorant and ignorant, and I still have some understanding of the affairs of men and women. The two of us stopped when we saw that there was no one left and right, and then leaned on the window and looked in. He gestured to the window in front of him.
The window is very old, and the windowsill is covered with a thick layer of dust, and the glass seems to have a thick layer of oil, so you can't see the inside at all.
Li Damin said: "The layout of the house of this kind of household is like this, you enter through the outer door, and the inside is the kitchen, and you can't see anything when you peek inside. But at the time, I didn't know if it was an illusion or a reality, but when I peeked in, I did see a woman sitting in the man's arms in the innermost part of the room. The two should be undressed, and the woman has long hair and a charming expression. At that time, the light was extremely dim, and the qiē I saw vaguely, like a silhouette and like a montage of imagination, like a yellowed photograph, stayed in my memory for a long time...... Later, I often came here under the pretext of playing with my classmates, and after my classmates moved away, I often came over, the purpose of which you have already guessed, just to find a chance to peep at that woman again. At that time, there were a lot of people living here, and the corridors were full of people, so there was no chance at all, but I was still willing to come here if I had nothing to do. After getting acquainted with the people, I quietly inquired about the family from my neighbors, and they told me that there was a single mother living here who was raising a child alone. This mother is very hard, going out early and returning late to earn money, few people see her, and the neighbors are not familiar with her. ”
Li Damin's tone is very ordinary and eloquent, but standing in front of this door, looking at the dusty old window, listening to the gloomy past, I suddenly have a chilling feeling, I really can't figure out how this story developed later.
"And then?" I asked.
"Then one day, I attended this woman's funeral." Li Damin said.
"Huh?" I exclaimed.
"That day, I remember it was very gloomy, like it was going to rain, and I was fine that day, so I couldn't help but get here. As soon as I came to the street, I saw several vans parked in front of the building, with the words "city funeral home" sprayed on them, and a group of people standing in the cold wind. I saw a child in the crowd kneeling on the ground, holding a brazier and smashing it down. I leaned over to look and inquire with the people around me, only to find out that the person who died was the woman, her family was surrounded by walls, and the only savings she had could barely hold an ordinary funeral, and she left behind a child. This child is also pitiful, suffering from cataracts, a rare type of cataract in children, blind eyes, not to mention livelihood in the future, even eating and dressing will be a problem. ”
Li Damin took out a key from his arms, walked to the door, and actually went to open the door.
I opened my mouth wide: "This...... This, how do you have the key here? ”
"I bought all three floors." Li Damin said lightly.
As soon as I opened the door, it was indeed the kitchen, and the pots and pans had not been touched for a long time, and it looked extremely deserted. Li Damin turned around and closed the outer door, I was startled, my heart was uneasy, and I had a faint bad premonition.
What is Li Damin talking about this past for?
"Later...... I adopted this child. Li Damin said.
When I was a child, I accidentally bumped into men and women, and it seems that Li Damin had a particularly deep impact, and it is not easy for him to make the move of adopting orphans. I was thinking that Li Damin's next sentence completely subverted my opinion.
He said to me, "The reason why I adopted this child is because he has a very special superpower. ”
"What?" I hurriedly asked.
"He was deaf in both eyes, but God gave him a window through which he could hear the most beautiful voices in the world." Li Damin said.
My brain "buzzed", and I suddenly reacted, this kid is Su Li, Li Damin's little apprentice!
"And I," Li Damin said, "need this voice!" ”
