Chapter Fifty-Seven: Past Lives
What does it feel like to encounter a catastrophe? When she saw Grandma She Qi go out of the mountain to help, Xiao Tian was a lot more relieved. After a scuffle, Grandma She Qi didn't take advantage of it, so Xiao Tian ran to find the elders of the Hu Bai and Gray families to preside over justice, and on the way to the mountain, Xiao Tian suffered a catastrophe.
The huge thunder frightened Xiao Tian into not knowing where to hide, and one after another lightning struck the tall tree next to Xiao Tian, which was the price of revealing the heavenly secret. Xiao Tian found that the fallen tree surrounded her and she couldn't escape.
Xiao Tian had nowhere to escape, so she simply sat inside, waiting to be concentrated by the thunder. The sky thunder became more and more dense, and it was getting closer and closer to her, and when finally, she shrank into a ball, and when the sky thunder was about to concentrate on her, an old lady's figure flashed in front of Xiao Tian's eyes.
I heard others say that the heavenly thunder can take half of the life of the wild immortal, but when it hits Xiao Tian, the heavenly thunder, seems to be blocked by something, except for a pair of eyes that sting, there is no injury on the body.
The last thing Xiaoxi saw was the old lady, the old lady she knew, she was Tong Er's grandmother.
When Xiao Tian woke up again, she had already returned to the dungeon, she called a few times and no one answered, her eyes could no longer be opened, she could no longer see, but she seemed to see more clearly.
At that time, it was still the Ming Dynasty, and the second master Tong's name was still Gu Qianjia, who was a big official, and Xiao Tian was his wife. Since marrying Gu Qianjia at the age of fourteen, Xiao Tian in her previous life has always adhered to her duty, kept her family diligently and thriftily, and spread branches and leaves for the Gu family. When Gu Qianjia was twenty-seven years old, he was promoted, and his hard life finally came out.
Gu Qianjia became an official, and in just ten years, he was promoted from the seventh rank to the third grade. Thirty-seven years old, at that time, he was already middle-aged. The two boys of Gu Qian's family have entered the officialdom, the three girls have also married, and the concubines and wives in the family get along harmoniously.
That year, Gu Qianjia met Tong Er's grandmother in her previous life, her name was He Huahua, and she was the Oiran of a Qinglou. Young and beautiful, but there is a charm that does not match his age. As soon as she saw Gu Qianjia, He Huahua became obsessed with this polite man. Gu Qianjia also hated He Huahua when they saw each other.
Gu Qianjia lived to be fifty-seven years old, and in the next twenty years, Gu Qianjia abandoned the family's wife and concubine, the old mother and children in the family, and everything in officialdom. borrowed money everywhere, redeemed He Huahua, and the two got along for twenty years. Even when his wife died, Gu Qian's family did not go back.
"I finally know why I'm so afraid of Second Master Tong dying, because I've been studying him for twenty years. Maybe he lost me in the last life, but what does it matter? We just lived together for a while, had a few children, and he never had me in his heart. Xiao Tian couldn't shed tears anymore.
"Why do you think that? He was your man in his last life!" Xiao Xi complained for Xiao Tian.
In my last life, I always kept my duty and was a virtuous wife and a competent mother, and he treated me badly, but he just didn't want to owe me. I didn't get into his heart for a lifetime, she just glanced at it, and he firmly remembered it. Who can I blame?" Xiao Tian pursed her lips.
"You've been on him for two lifetimes, is it worth it?" asked Xiao Tian, leaning against the railing.
"That's my husband! That's what I'm supposed to do! That's a woman's life. Xiao Tian said.
"No, he is your husband in your last life, and you are strangers in this life, do you understand?
You don't owe him, you should live for yourself. Others don't know, I She Xiaoxi know how difficult it is for you to get to where you are today, why don't you want to die for a man? Are you worthy of yourself?" Xiaoxi persuaded hard.
"Myself?" Xiao Tian repeated the words "myself". She has the memory of two lifetimes, and for nearly four hundred years, she has never thought about herself, she has forgotten herself for the sake of her children, for her husband, for her family, and for her friends.
Thinking about it, Xiao Tian cried loudly: "I didn't know that in this world, in addition to being busy for others, there is also this matter for myself." "This is the tragedy of an era and the end of a tragic era.
When Xiao Xi tried to rescue Xiao Tian again, the enchantment had disappeared, and later Xiao Xi asked She Qi's grandmother to know that this enchantment was never set by anyone for Xiao Tian, but by herself. She didn't know how to face the care of her family members, because she couldn't see with her eyes, Xiao Tian subconsciously set an enchantment for herself to protect herself.
The knot opens, and the barrier disappears. When she walked out of the dungeon, Xiao Tian vaguely felt the sunlight outside dazzling. In the future, it will depend on the ears.
After sending Xiao Tian to the Bai family to heal, Xiao Xi returned to She Qi's grandmother. She was thinking about Second Grandma Tong in her heart, this catastrophe must have been carried by Second Grandma Tong's ghost to help Xiao Tian carry it. Xiao Tian was blind, but her life was saved. Tong Er's grandmother can't say it well, the newly dead ghosts are often very weak, and I am afraid that they will be scattered after being robbed by thunder.
Two stupid women!
In the city, the donkey cart carrying Second Master Tong stopped near a row of bungalows. This house is assigned by the county hospital, and it is a little old, but it is close to the hospital. The green gate was closed, Erdezi helped Tong Erye get out of the donkey cart, opened the gate, and inside was a small ragged courtyard, usually only Erdezi lived alone, and he didn't like to clean up.
The room was fairly clean, and there were a few medical books, but they were only in Japanese. Second Master Tong couldn't understand it. There was not much coal left in the yard, and there was a small stove in the house with a kettle on it.
"Master, you help me burn a stove, and I'll move things in for you. Donkeys are not allowed in the city, and I have to give the donkey cart to the third grandfather to drive back after the cleanup. Erdezi didn't rest for a moment, and when he entered the house, he didn't touch the stool, so he went out to move things.
After Tong Erye burned the stove, he took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, played with it in his hand for a while, and then stuffed it back. The grandson said that smoking is not healthy.
The second master Tong in the house was bored, so he sat at the table and picked up his grandson's medical book and read it. I flipped through it a few times and couldn't understand it, so I put it down again.
"Erdezi, you find me a few pieces of paper, and I'll send a letter to your father and your uncles, so that they don't have to worry. Second Master Tong said.
Erdezi had just finished moving things, and said in a rough manner: "It's in the cabinet next to you! ”
In Tong Erye's heart, paper and pen are precious. When I heard that the hospital sent a copy to the doctor, I was happy to say, "Then I'll write more!"
Saying that, Tong Erye opened the cabinet door, which was densely packed with all kinds of envelopes, and there was a big box at the bottom.
"You will go again, I boiled water just now, and we will make some oil tea noodles later." Second Master Tong took the pen and looked at it for a while before opening it. He still used a brush when he studied, and now he uses foreigners
Fountain pen too.
"I don't eat it. I'll send a donkey cart to my third master immediately, you can eat first, don't wait for me. Come back, I'll sell food in our hospital cafeteria, you don't have to eat the whole meal. Erdezi explained the instructions before going out.
Seeing Erdezi go out and hearing the sound of the donkey cart getting farther and farther away, Tong Erye closed the doors and windows tightly and wrote the following words on the red grid paper:
Seeing the letter and returning quickly, there is something important to discuss. Father.
In such a letter, Second Master Tong wrote one to each of his sons, and then trotted to the post office while Er Dezi did not come back and sent these letters.
When it was dark, Tong Lide came back. In his hand, he was carrying a hot meal that he had just bought from the hospital cafeteria. Second Master Tong is too old to move the box, but the things in the box have been cleaned up, and Second Master Tong has written a few large words on the table. Seeing that Tong Lide came back, he pulled him to sit at the table.
"Look at this, grandson, I wrote an article to submit to the newspaper!
Erdezi glanced at it, and was not interested in looking at it: "Grandpa, if you like it, you can write, I can't go to work tomorrow, I'll vote for you after work." ”
Seeing that his grandson was not interested, Second Master Tong also felt a little disappointed, so he took the food in his grandson's hand and poured it into the bowl. The two looked at each other and ate dinner without a word, and then Erdezi said that he wanted to read a book, so he sent Tong Erye to sleep, although Tong Erye said that he was upset, but he didn't say anything.
When he got up the next morning, Tong Erye warmed up the leftovers from last night, and Erdezi took two bites and went to work.
Tong Erye was feeling bored, and was about to take the manuscript to proofread it twice and then go to the newspaper office to try his luck, when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Is Tong Lide there?" The voice outside was a woman. Second Master Tong went to open the door for the man, and it turned out to be Xiaoxi outside the door.
"Miss Xiaoxi, how did you find here?" Second Master Tong never thought that the person outside was Xiaoxi.
"I'm here to ask your grandson for help. Yesterday I told you that you forgot, Mo Xun asked me to come over and ask your grandson to help translate Japanese characters. Xiao Xi said.
Second Master Tong sighed deeply and introduced Xiaoxi into the house.
"Then you can wait a while, my grandson can come back at noon. ”
"Done, you can be busy if you have something to do, and I'll go out and wait. Seeing that Second Master Tong was dressed decently and was going out, Xiao Xi felt a little abrupt.
"It's okay, I don't like to be alone when I'm older, so I go out to find someone to chat. Second Master Tong poured a glass of warm water for Xiaoxi.
"Then I'll talk to you! I just heard a story yesterday, during the Ming Dynasty, ......" Xiao Xi couldn't help but tell Xiao Tian what she told herself to Tong Erye.
Second Master Tong seemed to be listening to this story for the first time, and showed a very strong curiosity, and when he heard that Gu Qianjia abandoned his wife and children and eloped with He Huahua, a woman in the Qinglou, he scolded twice.
"Second Master Tong, you said that if you were Gu Qianjia, would you feel sorry for your wife?" Xiao Xi tried to ask.
"I! I will feel sorry for my wife and sorry for the Qinglou woman, a man should have responsibility, rich and noble can not be lewd, poor and lowly can not be moved, mighty can not be bent, this is called a man. Second Master Tong said more seriously, Xiao Xi thought about Xiao Tian's face when she spoke.
Is it worth it? Maybe it's worth it.
"Master, there's a guest at home!" Outside, Erdezi came back with lunch.
