Chapter 70: Liberation
Anseong is so big that she seems to be able to forget the pain when she walks through the bustling crowd.
After settling down, Xia Xingkong first went to a temple in Anseong, the name she liked very much, called Jingxin Temple.
This temple is not big, the top of the temple is covered with glazed gold, and many immortals are carved on the ridge of the roof, which is lifelike.
Walking to the center of the compound, looking up is the endless sky, although the temple is small, but there is a sense of immortality. If there is no one else in the temple, in the silent air, a few birds are singing, and it is very leisurely to listen to.
Approaching the temple gate, there is a big Buddha in the center of the main hall, Xia Xingkong lit the sandalwood in his hand and inserted it into the incense burner, and kneeled on the ground with both hands and kowtowed three times.
I silently thought in my heart, wishing that her unborn child could be reincarnated into a good family.
Kowtow three more times, may Xia Zhixing have no last wish and ascend to Bliss as soon as possible.
stood up and hesitated for a moment and knelt down three times, wishing Zhou Yanshao to be liberated as soon as possible.
In an instant, the bell of 'Dangdang...' echoed in Xia Xingkong's ears, and for a while, the birds and beasts scattered, and the pilgrims stopped.
"The morning bell and dusk drum wake up the world's fame and fortune, and the sound of the Buddha horn calls back the lost people in the bitter sea."
Hearing the bell, the troubles are light; Wisdom is long, Bodhi is born; Out of hell, out of the pit of fire; May I become a Buddha and save all sentient beings.
Wash away the lead, see the mind, and be liberated.
May all be well.
When Mu Zhan was resting, he would go to Z City to find Xia Xingkong, and he was disappointed again and again, and hit again and again, which made him scared and anxious.
Mu Zhan's eyes were bloodshot because of fatigue, he sat on the wooden bench, the early summer sun shone through the dense layers of branches and leaves, the ground was printed with sparkling spots the size of copper coins, the wind blew with a slight warmth, and the cuckoo called from time to time.
The time and place are favorable, but she is missing.
It was his incompetence that made her abandon herself.
As long as he is alive, as long as he can breathe, even at the ends of the earth, he will never give up on finding his ribs in this life.
At the same time, in a high-end Western restaurant in City A, Wen Kai, a rich second-generation person, looked at An Xin with low eyes, "Can't you promise me?" ”
An Xin was irritated by him, and the tableware in his hand glared at Wen Kai, "If you are in a hurry, you can go to someone else." ”
Wen Kai immediately whispered to An Xin, "You know, I didn't mean that. ”
An Xin picked up the knife and fork again and cut a small piece of steak, elegant and charming but with a declining sadness, "My sister..."An Xin took a deep breath to sort out her emotions before speaking, "I'll say it one last time, my sister is not married, I will never fall in love." ”
Wen Kai saw that she was about to cry, and sat next to her in distress and gently comforted, "I was wrong, okay?" I'll keep watch over you until your sister gets married, and we'll be together, okay?" ”
An Xin glanced at him with red eyes, "It's pretty much the same." ”
Wen Kai has a headache, how can the An family still have such ignorant and strange family rules, which makes people have a headache, if that sister doesn't get married for the rest of his life, then does he want to accompany him to fight a bachelor for the rest of his life? It hurts.
Before she was released from prison, she had planned her future path, first of all, she had to find a job, and all she could do was taekwondo and play the piano.
Taekwondo is only used for self-defense, not for liking.
Work is still doing what she likes, she enjoys playing the piano at least, and when she was in prison, An Yu brought her a lot of books about piano repertoire, and when she couldn't sleep peacefully in the dead of night, she became familiar with those repertoire over and over again in her mind, day after day, year after year, with rich and solid theoretical knowledge.
After 6 years, although her memory is very good, it is inevitable that her technique will be rusty, and she needs to buy a piano first.
Xia Xingkong walked on the sidewalk, watching the parents who came over with a little girl about five or six years old, walking and jumping, laughing and laughing.
Xia Xingkong lost her mind, if her child was still alive, it was estimated that she would be so naughty, so cheerful, so smiling, and so beautiful......
It's that she didn't protect well, and she is not qualified to be a mother.
If you teach children to practice the piano and have regular contact with children, you should be happier.
After making up her mind, Xia Xingkong went to the mall to choose a relatively pure and cheap piano and placed it in a second bedroom, and after a month of practice, she took the piano grade certificate to a nearby piano store called Xiaoxiangle for an interview.
The founder's name is Li Xing, who is not a few years older than her, and Li Xing hired her directly after letting her play a tune, and she can come to work tomorrow.
Today is Saturday, there are a lot of children who come to the piano shop, laughter, Xia Xingkong has a shallow smile on his face, just listening to these immature voices feel happy.
The softness in her heart is always touched by these children, consciously or unconsciously.
Every morning, she wakes up on time and runs to the park to slowly pick up her taekwondo moves.
During the break, she would hold the kettle and carefully water the flowers and plants, carefully turning over the soil, and let them soak up the sun outside the balcony.
Or sit in the gazebo and enjoy the wind blowing and the birds, looking up to enjoy the bright moon and tasting the clouds.
Or hold a book, interpret the world in your hand, explore the tranquility of the mind, and soothe the hustle and bustle of the blood.
In her spare time, she would volunteer at the orphanage, touching their cute little faces, helping them mend their worn-out clothes, bringing them their favorite toys and reading stories to everyone......
The years are quiet.
After work, Xia Xingkong carried a big bag of vegetables to Yin Zhi's house, Aunt Yin would call her to eat every day, knowing that she couldn't eat spicy, Aunt Yin's every dish was very light according to her taste, she was embarrassed to eat every day, and often bought vegetables.
When he arrived at Yin Zhi's house, Xia Xingkong picked vegetables and washed vegetables with Aunt Yin, and after eating, Wei Wei turned on the TV and watched the news with a cup of tea.
Xia Xingkong cleaned up the dining table, and a voice came from the TV: "Mu Zhan, the most potential prosecutor in City A, has recently ...... again"
Mu Zhan.
Xia Xingkong stopped putting away the dishes and stared at the TV screen motionlessly.
Mu Zhan was wearing formal clothes, and the precipitation of the years made him fade away from the youthfulness of the year, and his every move became mature and stable.
The angular outline, thick eyebrows, tall nose, resolute eyes, and majestic spirit are a little darker than before, but they look masculine and straight.
That's the person she loves.
It was a light in her lonely night, a light that she couldn't touch.
Xia Xingkong pinched his chopsticks and felt a burst of bitterness in his heart, saying that he would not miss him anymore, why did he foul again?
He's doing a lot now, and she should be happy for him.
"Starry sky... Why are you crying? ”
Yin Zhi came to get the dishes and chopsticks, and asked in a panic when she saw the tears on Xia Xingkong's face.
With a 'snap', Xia Xingkong moved, a saucer fell to the ground, and oil stains splashed on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Wei Wei turned his head and asked.
"The saucer has fallen to the ground, you go and get a broom."
Wei Wei stood up, "Oh, good. ”
"I'm sorry."
Xia Xingkong wiped away his tears with his index finger and squatted down to pick up the pieces, Yin Zhi also squatted down and grabbed Xia Xingkong's hand to prevent her from touching it, "It's okay, your uncle went to get a broom." ”
Xia Xingkong pursed his lips and nodded.
Wei Wei came over with a broom, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'll sweep it." ”
Yin Zhi and Xia Xingkong retreated to the side.
Yin Zhi carefully observed Xia Xingkong's expression, "Are you tired, why are you crying?" ”
Xia Xingkong avoided Yin Zhi's eyes and casually prevaricated a reason, "No, I just miss my mother a little." ”
"Silly boy, if your mother knew that you were like this, she would be sad, and it is more important for you to live well, this is your mother's wish."
Xia Xingkong nodded.
Yin Zhi glanced at Wei Wei, and Wei Wei nodded at her.
"I discussed it with your uncle before, I don't know if you want to be our goddaughter?"
Goddaughter?
Xia Xingkong lowered his head and looked at the ground.
Yin Zhi's smiling face faded, and he was at a loss for Xia Xingkong's reaction, and said embarrassedly: "Starry sky, I... Your uncle and I just wanted to ask what you meant, and nothing else. ”
Wei Wei nodded, "Yes, if you don't want to, we won't change our opinion of you." ”
Xia Xingkong raised his head and said seriously: "I have killed people and have been in prison for 6 years. ”
These nine words contain pain, desolation, despair and helplessness.
These nine words are enough to ruin everything for a person.
can be stripped of all her power and freedom alive, and even simple walking has become desolate and lonely.
She should have made it clear to Aunt Yin and Uncle Wei earlier, after all, a murderer like her, except for relatives, is unwilling to contact, this can't be blamed on anyone, it's not indifference, it's everyone's defensive psychology accumulated from childhood to adulthood.
If Yin Zhi and Wei Wei didn't say this today, she wouldn't have said it so early, after all, there are only two results when this kind of thing is opened, one is that her situation will be known to everyone, and she will leave here, and the other is that Aunt Yin and Uncle Wei are as good to her as ever.
But she is always uneasy in her heart, she is like a thief, stealing warmth that does not belong to her.
All she has left now is dignity and backbone.
She always has to bow to reality, this is life, this is growth.
I always have to tell them, sooner or later.
Yin Zhi was speechless in surprise.
Wei Wei put down the broom and walked over, "Child, what's the matter?" ”
Yin Zhi reacted, took Xia Xingkong's hand and sat on the sofa, "Come and say." ”
Xia Xingkong looked at the two anxious and concerned faces, and was still ready to make it clear to them, "I was threatened to be engaged to a person, and then I was beaten to the point of miscarriage and fell ill, and I can't have children in the future, so I'll... Killed him and was released from prison this year. ”
Yin Zhi trembled and stroked the broken hair in Xia Xingkong's ear, and hugged her into her arms in distress, "Child, I suffered." ”
Wei Wei slapped his thigh angrily, "There are still people who beat pregnant women in this world, it's really the world." Starry sky, don't be afraid, you will make this your home in the future, and your aunt and I will protect you. ”
Xia Xingkong nodded with red eyes, "Okay, thank you." ”
She always thought that when she was at the end of the road, she would give her an unexpected surprise, Aunt Yin, Uncle Wei, thank you.
Thank you for not disliking her.
There is no summer starry sky in City A, and the summer starry sky is in Anseong.
