Brother Chengqing's body fell limply on top of me, and my nose had begun to sour.

In fact, no matter who the thought falls on, it's not that person after all, isn't it?

"But no, Master lied to me that all my memories weren't experienced with my uncles? How do I find it? I envy you very much, I envy you so much because I want this reunion, but unfortunately, Master will go one step ahead and I will reunite with him, so I can only wait for the next life! "Brother Chengqing is already drunk.

I don't know how to comfort Brother Chengqing, the liquor is burning in my chest, but I just want to drink it again.

Sometimes, it is no wonder that there is a special way of expression in the feelings between men, that is, drinking in silence, at some point, words are useless, a kind of drunk with you, which also expresses the meaning of going down with you, I feel your pain through thick and thin, I am as sad as you, and go down with you.

The liquor ran down the corners of my mouth, dripping onto my collar, and the hot piece rolled down from my throat to my chest, to my stomach, to my lower abdomen, and then rushed to my brain Brother Chengqing did not stop me from drinking, maybe in this lonely and lost time, it is also a comfort to have someone to drink with me.

"Chengyi, you said that I can also reunite with the master, that is, compared to you, the time is later, right?" I helped Brother Chengqing to walk in the direction of the house.

The rising smoke has stopped, the aroma of the food is coming, it seems that the meal is about to start, I have only one thought in my mind, take Brother Chengqing back to eat, let everyone warm him, in the face of the question he asked me, I replied very firmly: "Yes! "As long as he's better, it's all right.

"Chengyi, Uncle Jiang said that we are going to die in the world, I just want to take advantage of the present to accompany Master more, I should accompany Master more, right?"

"Yes!"

"Chengyi, after the end of the world, you may not be able to come back, don't shy away from this, who can guarantee it? So you say, am I right? Spend more time with you, why don't you get drunk, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Is Chengyi dead, at least the reunion can come earlier?" Brother Chengqing's voice suddenly became low.

"No, Brother Chengqing, everything is fate. We are on the same road through thick and thin, why are you lonely? You can be envious, but you can't be lonely. I wiped the wine off my mouth, and this time I didn't say anything right, but said what I was thinking through the wine.

"Also, I'm a senior brother, you guys are really troublesome, especially Chen Chengyi, you are good at this thing, you are the most troublesome! I have to take care of it," Brother Chengqing's speech began to slur.

"I'm the big brother!" I jumped to my feet and began to retort.

Brother Chengqing laughed and pulled me over, grabbed my neck and said, "I said that I am a senior brother, I am!" I am! ”

"I am!"

"I Am"

"Haha"

Brother Chengqing didn't eat this lunch after all, so he fell asleep on the bed, this cold and indifferent guy, it's the first time I've seen him so drunk, but it's okay, I can't vent my thoughts when I suppress them, people will be hurt internally.

Once, I even saw Uncle Chen wiping Brother Chengqing's face, and I don't know if it was my delusion, I saw Uncle Chen shedding tears, and my master stood aside, looking out the window at Uncle Li's grave and didn't know what he was thinking.

It's just that when he came out, the master said inexplicably: "It's better to be drunk than not to be drunk, and it's terrible not to know that to be drunk." ”

Is it? At that time, when the master was gone, was it better for me to get drunk than not to know that I was drunk? Maybe so, or I guess I'd be crazy.

――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――

I don't know how many days there are in the quiet days of the bamboo forest Xiaozhu, in short, when Brother Chengqing woke up at night, the master never mentioned the matter of leaving, and everyone was calmly doing their own things, chatting with each other This is like a secret that can't be broken, obviously everyone knows it, but when it doesn't exist.

It was late at night, and after talking to my parents and sisters for a while, I was about to fall asleep when Master came to me.

"Follow me." Master just said it simply.

I didn't know what Master was going to do, but I stood up silently, followed behind Master, and walked with him.

The night was quiet, the Master's back was in front, and I was behind, the road was familiar, wasn't that the shed where I used to go to bathe when I was a child after the bamboo forest was built?

In fact, we were also looking there, and after walking in, a familiar fragrance rushed into my nose, and I looked at the steaming heat, and I had been telling myself not to cry easily, and my eyes were red all of a sudden.

How many times have I dreamed back, when I was a child, that quiet bath time night after night, is it really okay now?

"What are you still doing? Take off your clothes and go in and soak in it. Senior Brother Chen said that your wound has recovered well, and the fragrant soup is no longer in the way. Master brought over a stool and placed it next to the familiar wooden barrel.

Of course, I didn't hang on anymore, I quickly took off my clothes and everything, only a pair of shorts remained, and suddenly jumped into the barrel The familiar fragrance surrounded me, and the familiar warmth surrounded me at once, and the familiar refreshing and refreshing felt that made the whole body relax and drowsy also surrounded me at the same time, and I let out a long sigh of comfort.

At this time, Master also lit his dry tobacco, and finally it was neat, the fragrance of the fragrant soup mixed with the smell of dry tobacco leaves, this is the taste of the quietest and warmest night when I was a child, this satisfaction made my eyes red again, I couldn't help but pick up a handful of water, poured two handfuls on my face, and tried to endure the rushing tears.

"Stupid!" Master scolded, then took a towel in his mouth, dipped it in water, and began to wipe my body, and his voice came from behind me: "I thought this big wooden barrel was wasted, but I didn't expect it to be very clean, and it can be used with hot water." Just like when I first returned to the bamboo forest, I thought it must be barren, and the overgrown weeds were actually very tidy! In the past few years, it should be your parents cleaning, right? ”

I closed my eyes, my heart was full of warmth, but I said lazily, "Master, I really don't know this, maybe, right?" ”

"Well, that's how it should be." Master's voice was calm.

We were silent for a while, and he suddenly said: "Chengyi, I have been adrift all my life, and I really didn't know that I would have such deep feelings for this small bamboo forest building back then." Inexplicably, this place has become a home-like place, and I used to think that the place where there is a master is home. ”

"Master?" I didn't understand why Master suddenly said this, so I couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"People are old, love home! I'm using an analogy, if one day I'm old, so old that I don't know what to do, and I want to retire here, you have to be by your side. Master suddenly said this, revealing incomparable weakness Master would never be like this!

All of a sudden, it was as if I had been stabbed in the softest part of my heart, and I couldn't help but say loudly, "Master, what question are you asking!" Of course, I want to provide for you! When you were young, the place where you had your ancestors was home, and when you were old, of course, the place where there was me was home! If you like it, let's stay in the bamboo forest, how can you be so old that you don't know what to do, the Taoist family won't grow old like this. ”

The action of the master wiping my body suddenly stopped, he was a little stunned, which made me anxious, and I just wanted to ask why, but I felt a pain in my head, it turned out that the master patted me.

"What are you so excited about? I just want to test your filial piety, you stinky boy, I was born and I worried about it, and it was equivalent to bringing you up when I was a child! Lao Tzu still wants to see if you have filial piety, can't you? Master said to me dissatisfied.

I rubbed my aching head and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Are you as for you?" If you don't have filial piety, the whole world will look for you. ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it later, this time you also know that we are going to die, and I don't know if we can come back." Master put a hot and wet towel on my face.

I took off the towel, wrung a handful of water, and put it on my forehead, leaning against the wooden bucket, and said comfortably: "Anyway, it's not a bad thing to die in the world, and I'd rather die in the world than to look for you everywhere." ”

"It's that simple." Master sat down on the stool again and couldn't help but knock me with a dry cigarette.

I smiled and said, "Master, how did you know this news?" ”

"Wu Liyu, that guy, you have been in business for many years, do you really have no connections in this organization? It's almost time. Master took a puff of dry smoke, and the thick smoke evaporated with the heat to the roof of the shed, and it became droplets of water that dripped to the ground.

"So when are we leaving? And who is helping us delay these days? "I've always been curious about this question.

But the master was silent, and suddenly slapped me again, and shouted: "Take a good bath in your bath, help us people, it's hard to say now, at least help us on the surface, I have ideas!" ”
