"Dad, keep ...... Heavy, moving...... I have taken my leave of you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wang Dong knelt at the door of the hut, his heart was like frying, tears were like rain, he kowtowed three times with all his might in the direction his father left, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground in front of him.
By the time he gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes, it was already afternoon in the west.
Wang Dongqiang endured the bouts of vertigo, struggled to get up from the ground, and held the door frame back to his cabin.
A thick piece of yellow straw paper was flattened on the wooden bed, and Wang sat down in front of the bed with teary eyes, holding a brush in one thin and pale hand, and wrote the following lines on the paper:
"Dad, my son is really depressed today, so I found the tiger next door to go out together, I want to take a break in the city, who would have thought that I accidentally met an old Taoist with a strange face, he saw at a glance that although he was seriously ill, he had excellent bones, and after talking in detail, he wanted to accept his son as an apprentice to teach the mantle.
The child was worried that this person's words were untrue, so he tried to test the disease, but this person not only said exactly what he said, but also took out a fragrant pill on the spot for the child to take, and after taking it, he felt a heat in his lower abdomen, and the strength of his body increased a little.
When the son was overjoyed, he worshiped him as a teacher, and only waited for his father to return, and then left with the master after the gift.
However, Master said that he had always been idle and unfettered by the world, and that he would leave today, and promised that he would be able to heal his illness and return home to his father.
Dad, I don't want to anger my master and lose this great opportunity, so I can only endure the pain and say goodbye, leave a letter here, and hope that my father will not blame him after seeing the letter, take care of his body, and return after ten years. ”
"The unfilial son of the king moved and knocked. ”
The sprinkled handwriting was written all over the yellow straw paper, and the moment the tip of the pen left the straw paper, Wang Dong was already a tearful person.
In addition to the old clothes on his body, Wang Dong put on a brand-new blue cloth gown, this blue shirt was sewn by his father for Wang Dong during the Chinese New Year, Wang Dong has been reluctant to wear it, but today, Wang Dong has worn it on his body, and he wants to leave this world cleanly.
Sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, Wang Dong was like a bride to be married, his nostalgic gaze, little by little, looked at every corner of the hut, every thing, the corners of his mouth smiled from time to time, but the tears in his eyes became thicker and thicker.
In the blurred vision, he saw that the cluster of sunlight shining into the threshold was slowly elongated, gradually moving eastward, Wang Dong knew that he was ...... Time to go.
☆☆☆
In late autumn, the weeds in the yard are withered and yellow, and on the old maple tree by the east wall, there are constantly pale yellow and withered leaves that are swept off by the wind, and they fall to the ground in twos and threes.
The king walked under the old maple tree in the midst of the falling leaves, raised his head and shouted at the wall: "Huzi, Huzi, Huzi, Huzi, are you at home?"
"Who is my name?
The sound of urns sounded on the other side of the courtyard wall, and after a burst of "knock knock" footsteps, I saw a big ear, black fat face appeared on the courtyard wall more than one person high.
Wang Dong tilted his head effortlessly and beckoned to the fat black boy who was smirking on the courtyard wall, "Huzi, come here, I have something to look for you." ”
"Oh,"
The black fat boy replied innocently, Wang Dongzheng thought he was going down from the ladder, but who knew that the guy stretched out two fat palms that were not a few sizes smaller than the bear's paws, and slammed the wall, and the whole person smashed into the courtyard of Wang Dong's house like a hill.
Hey, this guy is a little more stupid than last year, in the dust, Wang Dong looked at the big black man who fell in front of him with a gray face, four feet and eight forks, and got up but was fine, and he was speechless for a while, but he couldn't say envy.
"Huzi, do you think you and I are good brothers?"
"Of course, in this world, except for my dead ghost father, count my mother, you, your father is the best for me, you are not stupid, you are all good to me, give me candy to eat,"
Huzi broke his stubby fingers and counted them one by one to the king.
"Oh, I almost forgot, and rhubarb, rhubarb is also very good to me, he is not stupid, always wagging his tail and following me, but I was strangled to death by my mother last year, I ......"
"Stop," Wang Dong couldn't help but step forward and cover Huzi's mouth, but even such a simple act of stepping forward to cover his mouth seemed to exhaust Wang Dong's whole body strength.
Wang Dong leaned softly on the old maple tree, frowned with sweat on his forehead, and said: "Huzi, since you and I are good brothers, then the good brothers want your help, you ...... Do you help or not. ”
"Help, of course it's help, but my mother said, don't let me cause trouble, don't let me eat other people's things, don't call me ......"
Wang Dong waved his hand weakly, "Don't worry, I want you to help, it's very simple, you have too much to hear...... You put your ear to my mouth. ”
"Why do you want me to put my ear to your mouth, you, you are not allowed to bite me, I haven't eaten meat for a long time," Huzi chattered nervously, but still put a big fleshy ear to Wang Dong's mouth.
However, just after Wang Dongzai whispered carefully, Hu Zi, whose little eyes were getting bigger and bigger, called out violently, "What? You asked me to help you lie to your father, saying that I went out with you today, and we met an old man together, and he not only gave you a jelly bean, but also took you away?"
Wang Dong nodded gloomily, but saw Huzi sitting on the ground, glaring at him angrily, "Wang Dong, it's in vain that you are a good brother, you, you see the old man and eat candy, why don't you call me? ”
"Huzi, you," Wang Dong touched his forehead and had a headache, if it weren't for the fact that there was only one friend in the past seventeen years, if it weren't for Huzi's poor head, Wang Dong would never have made such a decision in order to make his father feel at ease.
Just looking at the sun gradually slanting westward, and then looking at the tiger who was lying on the ground and humming, Wang Dong's heart became more and more anxious, and suddenly his mind moved, and he reached out and took out a paper bag wrapped in yellow straw paper from his arms, "Huzi, look, what is this." ”
"What?" Hu Zi grunted angrily, still unable to hold back his curiosity, and crawled to Wang Dong's side.
"Hey, it's sugar," Huzi's eyes lit up as he stared at the yellow paper spread out in Wang's hand, a few candies the size of his thumb, and the corners of his mouth even flowed out of the corners of his mouth, "This, this is all for me?"
"Yes, this is the candy that the old man gave me, I specially kept it for you," looking at the round candies, Wang Dong's heart was sour, but he forced a smile and said: "Then Huzi, you say, am I your good brother?"
"Uh-huh, of course it is, of course it is. ”
"Then you say, if my father asks about you, what will you say?"
"Of course, according to what you said, today I went out with you, and met an old man together, and he gave you a beautiful candy, and told you to go home first, and then ...... Then go to him outside the west gate. ”
Wang Dong nodded lightly, and asked Huzi to repeat it several times as Fang just said, and after confirming that he was not wrong, he handed the candy in his hand to the impatient Huzi along with the yellow paper, and then picked up the crutches from the ground.
"Hehe, it's so sweet, Wang Dong, don't you want to eat it?" Huzi sat under the old maple tree, holding two candies in his mouth, "sucking" sweet water, seeing Wang Dong staggering past him, he handed out a candy very righteously.
However, Wang Dong, who was full of sorrow, didn't seem to see it at all, so he walked to the courtyard gate in despair.
As he walked, Wang Dong's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the moment he walked to the courtyard gate, his trembling fingertips had already touched the wooden door, he turned around suddenly, staring deeply at the grass and trees in the courtyard, and his infinite affection finally fixed on the two low earthen houses.
In the faint light of tears, Wang Dong seemed to see a middle-aged man with gray temples, carefully holding a medicine bowl, and gently walked into the hut where he had lived for 14 years and carried his countless sorrows and pains......
When his throat choked, Wang Dong faintly heard a loving voice echoing in his ears: "Move, move, wake up, it's time to take medicine." ”
"Dong'er, don't despair, as long as you have your father for a day, your father will never give up on you. ”
"Dong'er, Dad knows that you have dreamed of entering the Immortal Gate since you were a child, and when you get better, Dad will let go of everything......"
Wang Dong closed his eyes tightly, as if he wanted to bury everything he heard and saw deep in his heart and imprinted it deeply into his soul.
The rising autumn wind, with a few withered yellow maple leaves, drifted from afar, gently patting Wang Dong's tearful face, as if reminding of something.
Wang Dong slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, turned around and opened the courtyard door, and walked out hobbly.
This time, he didn't look back, and he didn't dare to look back, just in the bleak autumn wind, gradually, walked away.
