……

I was in a daze for a long time, and my grandmother's official statement was eight days, which happened to match my destiny.

I'm not idle, my dreams are all the time, vague, and I can always see some figures dangling in front of my face......

I can't see the appearance clearly, but I can see the color of the clothes, a long shirt of water, all colors, red, white, green, gray......

One by one, they all sighed and sighed, muttering that they had suffered.

I asked in a daze, what had happened, was it that I was going to die?

"What."

A voice replied to me, "It's early, you girl is early!" I can't bear it!! ”

I frowned, the voice was very thin, pinching my throat as if it came out, the tone was uneven, quite a bit of yin and yang weirdness, I listened awkwardly, I opened my eyes in a sweat, and saw only the big grandmother who was sitting on the edge of my bed and was 'popping' ~ shedding tears.

"Big Grandma ......"

As soon as I made a sound, I realized that my voice was hoarse, and it was lying on my stomach, "my shoulder hurts......"

"Awake?"

Seeing this, the eldest grandmother wiped away her tears and helped me sort out the gauze on the back shoulder, "You kid, now you know the depth, do you know how difficult it is to get started?" ”

"Big grandma...... I had a dream......"

"There are a lot of people talking around me, they say it's early, I'm early, I'm early......"

"That's our fairy who feels sorry for you!"

The eldest grandmother helped me to sit up, "Jingwei, do you remember to hate the milk and whip you." ”

"Nope."

I shook my head, the stabbing pain in the back of my shoulder, I wanted to wipe her tears, but my arm couldn't lift up, for some reason, looking at the eyes of the grandmother, I felt a little guilty, "Grandma, I haven't carried eight whips...... Is it impossible to enter the Tao? ”

"Yes."

The eldest grandmother snorted and looked at me, "Jingwei, this whip has no time limit, it symbolizes the eight calamities in your life, and represents your determination to enter the Dao......

Actually, what the old fairy said is right, you are indeed early, how can the word determination be so simple as words, if you really put your feet down, it won't hurt so much. ”

I listened attentively, without words or strength to say anything.

On that day, I finally figured out one thing, I don't know what calamities other gentlemen who want to enter the Tao need to suffer, but I know that I am going to be broken!

No matter what 'breakage' you have to endure after entering the road, the basic of the tread road is this bloody eight whips.

If I want to learn the Tao, the eight whips can't escape no matter what, but fortunately, it can be accumulated and phased in, that is to say, my long journey, for the time being, is considered to have taken an eighth-step step.

It's bitter.

It's not a joke.

The first class I took was left in bed for a month before I finished it!

The eldest grandmother asked me afterwards if she regretted it, and I replied with certainty that I don't regret it. ’

After all the losses have been eaten, do you have the strength to say 'regret'?

I didn't feel much before, I just thought that the grandmother's line of work was very magical, very bullish, no matter what she talked about with the subject, I was baptized from the perspective of a bystander.

But since this whip was drawn, I seem to have been opened up to some kind of spiritual aperture, and I will always look at the distraction of the order flag enshrined in the hall......

The feeling of wanting to have is becoming more and more obvious, the palms of the hands will be hot, and the blood will be faintly boiling, as if before the stormy waves, and after the stormy waves.

Mentality, really can't be explained.

However, no matter how conflicted my mood is, whether I am willing to be whipped or forced to be punished, we have not returned to this city.

Why?

Heal your wounds!

Indirectly, it can be regarded as getting what I wanted.

……

After the injury healed, I continued to study in the town, the most obvious change is to see the incense, the back of the shoulder is itchy, I come to the feeling, no teacher, every time before the exam I will give the old fairy tablet collective incense, smoke after holding breath to observe, less than three minutes, will get the answer -

"The incense head is flat on the left and right...... Above the middle third......"

The mist curled in my eyes, and I stared into my mouth and muttered, "This is ...... Offering Ruixiang, within three days, there will be auspicious signs! ”

With joy in my heart, I rubbed my hands and bowed to the old fairy, "This means that I will do well in the exam today, Jingwei is here to thank you in advance......"

"Jingwei!"

Suddenly the voice of the grandmother came from behind me, turned her face, and the grandmother looked at me at the door a little speechlessly, "How many times have you said it, don't play this kind of cleverness, the meaning of the incense is so simple on the surface!" ”

I laughed, scratched my head and looked at my grandmother, "Aren't I studying, grandma, Grandpa Mao said that only by studying hard can you make progress every day!" Xiangtou said, I will definitely be in the top ten in the class in today's monthly exam! Offering Ruixiang, very auspicious, you can rest assured! ”

"You, you're the flamboyant who learned from your third uncle!"

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard the eldest grandmother mention the third uncle, and raised my eyebrows to learn from the third uncle to talk to the eldest grandmother, "Aunt Hei, are you talking about me?" I am a leader of the whole world, the leader of the prodigal son team who covers the world, I hope Zhu Yan will not change the usual, pastime in flowers, and forget worries in wine~~"

The third uncle's original name was Liu San'er, and he was also a gentleman who entered the Tao, he called the eldest grandmother 'Aunt Hei', lived in Harbin City, and I was not close to him, and my son was my neighbor earlier, and he witnessed my birth, and said that he had a fate with me.

After I was sent to my grandmother, he often came to see me, worked in the store, often lived on the eighth day of the month, took me to play, took care of me, diligent and didn't know how many streets to dump my father, the person was good, but it was too good wine, and he began to sing and hum when he drank too much, a bit like a gentleman who didn't have four or six.

But to be honest, my deviant personality is indeed more influenced by him, he and my grandmother are like my two parents, one with a white face and the other with a red face.

"Grandma, why did the third uncle come over this year?"

When I finished my studies, I turned to my grandmother and asked, "I miss him." ”

"He's here when he can't afford to buy wine!"

The eldest grandmother was too lazy to take care of my appearance, and patted the black cloth bag she was carrying, "I received a call to go to Blackwater Town to show people what happened, and I can come back in a day or two, you can take care of your home, and check the gate before going to bed at night." ”

I sighed, when I grew up, my grandmother went out to see things, I watched the store, I got used to it, I also looked at the desk with my schoolbag on my back, "Milk, you don't bring a flag." ”

"No, you don't."

The eldest grandmother went downstairs with me, "It's just to help the old owner take a look at the foundation of the Yang house, by the way, and then go to his ancestral grave to see, the little things are ......."

Saying that, the eldest grandmother continued to tell me, "It's going to be Qingming in three days, when you come back from self-study in the evening, remember to put some leftovers outside the door, put incense on the pillar to give food to the things passing by, and chatter, don't let them wander around the door of the store to do things." ”

I nodded, these all understand, do the business of the dead, sewing the New Year and the festival is more exquisite, especially Qingming, Ghost Festival, winter clothes, this is a special festival below, grandma said that it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no owner of the lonely soul to come to ask for things.

Although they can't get in, they are also annoying to wander at the door, and sometimes they will confuse passers-by with low luck, and something similar to a ghost retaining wall will happen, so we will give a little favor, throw a few pieces of burnt paper, or give some food, and indirectly do some good deeds.

"That's right."

After closing the door of the store, the eldest grandmother looked at me as if she remembered something, "Jingwei, your dad called again last night, and I will take you to Harbin City after the high school entrance examination. ”

"!"

I immediately became anxious, "Didn't you say it all!" I want to stay with you to learn skills, why do you want me to go to Harbin City! ”

The whip is in vain!

The eldest grandmother threw out a sentence lightly, "There are seven whips, can you bear it?" ”

"I ......"

I snorted, and the wound on the back of my shoulder healed was faintly painful, seven whips, I had to go straight down to Qingming!
