Chapter 17: Excessive Thinness

Yuanxing looked at the people carefully, and said uncertainly: "Old He?" The person who came was his senior, four years older than him, and he was a graduate student in college and served as his counselor. When he went to graduate school, the other party stayed in school as a lecturer, and the relationship between the two has always been good, and they have been in contact before.

It's just that in his impression, Lao He is a kind and funny Humpty Dumpty, but the person in front of him looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness, his face is pale, and he is so thin that he is out of shape.

"I didn't expect you to really become a monk." Lao He also looked at Yuanxing, and his tone was embarrassed.

"Time is also fate." Yuan Xing didn't want to say more on this topic, and asked, "Why did you lose so much weight?"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not terminally ill." Lao He smiled bitterly: "All the major hospitals have been visited, and no major problems have been found, that is, malnutrition." No matter how you take it, it won't help. ”

Malnourished, the poor monk's perennial vegetarianism is not to your level! "That, such a strange symptom, you didn't think about anything else?" He asked carefully, because in his impression, Lao He was a staunch materialist.

"Ahem." Lao He coughed embarrassedly, glanced around, and then whispered: "I found it, I spent a lot of money, and I drank Fu Shui, but it had no effect."

"Hey, Lao He, are you so superstitious now?" Yuan Xing's eyes widened.

"...... "In terms of your dress, where did you stand and say this?" Sure enough, even if he became a monk, this person was so skinny.

Yuan Xing just glanced at it and found that the other party's body was covered with a layer of dull black. He stepped forward and hugged Lao He's neck: "You know, the poor monk is a religious person now, when did you start this situation, tell me in detail......

Those who are familiar with it know that Professor Lin Guangyuan, a scientific research maniac, has two biggest hobbies, one is raising flowers, and the other is cooking. He transformed the balcony of his duplex apartment into a hanging garden, where he would invite family, friends and proud students whenever he had free time.

On the weekend, Yuan Xing followed his parents to Lin's house, and it has been two years, and this is the first gathering of the two families. Professor Lam's cooking skills are as outstanding as his academic level, and the simple vegetarian ingredients are cooked by him into the flavor of a restaurant, which is delicious.

The whole luncheon was full of chatty and harmonious atmosphere. The two women, Qin's mother and Shi Niang, worked hard to pick up vegetables for Yuanxing, and the latter's foodie nature finally returned after being suppressed for many years, and he was so happy to eat that most of the vegetarian food on the table went into his stomach. When he was full, he poured a glass of Coke contentedly, excused himself to go out for a walk, saluted a few elders and went downstairs.

"This kid has changed too much in the past two years, and he is much calmer than in the past." Professor Lin stood on the edge of the balcony, watched the bald monk downstairs drive away, turned back to Father Qin and said, "You can see it, I really don't persuade you."

"What if you don't look at the opening point? There's nothing we can do. Father Qin drank all the red wine in the cup, and said bitterly: "When the child is older, it is no longer something that parents can manage." In the past few days, relatives and friends at home have also persuaded me, isn't it useless? My old man died early, otherwise he would have to be angry with this kid. ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, since it is useless to persuade him, let him go!" Professor Lin saw that he was sad, so he could only open his mouth to comfort him.

"He told me he wanted to move out, and I agreed." Father Qin said again.

"What" Qin's mother on the side suddenly exclaimed: "Old Qin, why haven't you told me about this, I don't agree." Speaking of this, his voice was already crying: "I haven't heard from you for two years since I left, and I'm just going to leave again?"

"Can you tie him to your body forever?" Father Qin said softly to his wife: "If he doesn't go back to the temple, isn't the ancestral house in his name, and he will live there forever in the future."

Hearing that she didn't go to the temple, Qin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but she still said: "The old mansion is not close to the city, won't we be able to meet often in the future?"

Father Qin sighed and said: "That's good, he began to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, or I finally persuaded him."

"Even if you are a normal person, you always have to go out to work at this age, and you can spend a few days together with your parents all year round," Professor Lin also persuaded on the side: "Now the communication and transportation are convenient, even if he goes back to the temple, it is still easy to meet in the future, relax!" ”

"I just feel distressed, I only eat one vegetarian meal a day, I have to burn incense and chant sutras in the morning and evening, meditate on the floor at night, even if I sleep, I ask him why he doesn't sleep in the bed, he told me that the bed is too soft and luxurious, and the precepts are not allowed." Qin's mother wiped away her tears: "As parents, from the birth of their children, they regard them as treasures in their palms, and they grow up with careful care, if they are sick or injured, they can't wait to replace them with their bodies." When he goes to school, he not only has to worry about his studies, but also wants him to be happy, while caring about whether he has friends at school, and is afraid that he will be bullied. finally grew up, and we waited for him to fall in love, marry a wife and have children, and hoped that everything was okay with him. But who would have thought that it would become like this, and when we are gone, what will he do alone? Do you accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a lifetime? When I think of this, my heart feels like someone is tugging at me, I can't eat, I can't sleep well......"

When she cried, Mrs. Lin on the side couldn't help but have red eyes, she grew up watching, and she was also a person with children, so she couldn't help but feel the same at this time. As for the two men, they looked at each other and fell silent......

Yuan Xing drove his car, all the way out of the city, and went straight to the old house in Yinshan Town. In the past half a month, although he has lived a warm life, he is uncomfortable everywhere, one is that his living habits are incompatible with his family, and the other reason is the reason for practicing martial arts, his martial arts are strong, and some moves are inconvenient to perform in front of people, but there are many people in the park near Qin's house in the morning, which is not conducive to secrecy and is often disturbed. So, he mentioned to his father that he would move out to live on his own, and finally agreed.

Before the crossing, Yuanxing had some savings, Lanxing's Qin Kong had been going to school, and he didn't have any hobbies that needed to spend money, his scholarship, New Year's money, pocket money and Professor Lin's reward were all stored in a card, and during this time, he was repairing cars and buying things, and now he still has more than 70,000 yuan in his hand.

Since he is no longer studying and is a monk, he can no longer accept the family's financial support, and if he goes out to live alone, this money seems to be a lot, and saving some is enough for a few years. But if you enter the state of cultivation, buying medicinal materials to strengthen your bones is a large expense, which cannot be omitted, otherwise your body will not be able to bear the consumption of martial arts training at all.

If his father hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that his grandfather had left an old mansion for his only grandson before he died, otherwise, at the price of rent in the island city, in order to save some money, he might have gone into the mountains to live in seclusion.

And the purpose of this trip is two, first, the old house has been vacant for so many years, I don't know if it can still live in people, if the damage is not big, you can repair it yourself, if it is too deserted, it will cost a sum of money, and if you don't repair it, the family will definitely not agree to him to come out and live by yourself.

The second purpose is related to the old He I met before. Coincidentally, Lao He's hometown is also in Yinshan Town, and Lao He became "malnourished" from a year ago after the Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors, according to him, he fainted inexplicably in the ancestral tomb that day, and then there was a situation of weight loss, Yuan Xing dared to conclude that this matter is not simple, it must be related to evil......
