Chapter 7 Reminiscing about the past, a bowl of porridge that year
readx;“ Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back......!" All this made Dashan, who usually looked wooden, relieved his heart, and he had never been so homesick as this moment in three years away from home, and he shouted excitedly before he arrived in the village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The three elders were stunned and stunned, this was simply subverting their own cognition.
The two girls covered their mouths and laughed secretly, and the mountain really amused them. However, this is the man of true temperament...... Well, the most important thing is that his strength is still high, and the master is still the master of the door. The two girls unconsciously thought a little more.
Li Yunjian just didn't see this person, he couldn't beat him, and scolded, What should I do if he hits me? Just glancing at the corners of his mouth showed his extreme disdain.
The population of Shicun is not large, and the total number of households is less than 100, and Dashan's home is in the depths of Shicun, and when Dashan runs all the way home, he is already angry.
Nothing has changed, nothing has changed here. Dashan gently pushed open the door with excitement, he wanted to kneel in front of his grandfather, he asked his grandfather to touch his head and educate himself while smiling with satisfaction...
Squeak~ The door was not locked, of course, it was never locked, the simple wooden door was gently pushed open, and Dashan instantly saw the familiar back in the yard.
I haven't seen him for three years, his hair has turned a little grayer, his back is still straight, his knife-wielding hand is still strong, and the dishes he cooks must be ......
Wait, what's that? bark, grass roots, a bunch of herbs...... It's like the past, vivid.
Three years ago, the master of Tsing Yi Gate somehow arrived in this small village, at a glance he took a fancy to the honest mountain, after showing a series of skills, the mountain was extremely happy to agree to his request, the old king was the first to oppose the attitude, he really didn't want the mountain to embark on the road of cultivation, that road, too difficult. "Grandpa, do you want me to be locked up in this small village for the rest of my life, farming, hunting, and a dull life? I'm a man, I also yearn for the outside world, and I also want to have a good time in this world......" Dashan said the man's words to Grandpa word for word.
The old king's head was shaken, but the mountain was leaving.
"Dashan, you leave tomorrow, I'll make you something delicious in the evening. Lao Wang said expressionlessly to the excited mountain.
"Hmm. "When I think of my grandfather's saying that the mountain is delicious, the whole person is about to jump up, and what delicacies from the mountains and seas are not as delicious as the food cooked by grandpa, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas made by grandpa ......
Lao Wangtou spent an afternoon making dinner, and finally the delicacies of the mountains and seas served on the table were served in a basin, and the mountain opened the basin, and then saw a pot of porridge.
Grandpa, what about the delicious food?
The old king changed in an instant, he used to be strict but also kind, it sounds a little contradictory, but this is the most real feeling of the mountain; now he is so --- terrible, a face is expressionless except black, and those eyes are so fixed looking at you but no longer kind, it is so fierce......
"After drinking, not a drop is allowed to remain. There was no emotion in his voice, but it sounded so frightened to the mountain.
As long as the eleven or twelve-year-old Dashan didn't know what was going on, he took the first sip under the eyes of his grandfather, "If you dare to spit it out, don't recognize my grandfather again, I don't have a grandson like you!" This sentence is so ruthless, Dashan spit out a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, nor swallow it, his eyes are full of helplessness.
"Drink!"
"Gollum~" Dashan swallowed unconsciously, but tears choked out in an instant, so bitter, so unpleasant, so uncomfortable, this is not like a bowl of porridge but like a violent poison.
"Cultivation is not so simple, then the suffering in it is like this bowl of porridge, there is astringency in the bitterness, and there are endless difficulties in the astringency. This bowl of porridge is unpalatable but not life-threatening, but what about cultivation, maybe this moment or the next moment, because of love and hatred, sometimes you will find how fragile life is......"
"You can stop drinking now, I will tell you tomorrow Master, you are not going, this is not a man's cowardice, this is the basic of a real person. Grandpa said softly.
"If you really decide to go, decide to embark on the path of cultivation, as a man, then you give me a drink of him, and there is not a drop left!" Grandpa seemed to be a different person in an instant.
Dashan didn't hesitate, and directly picked up the basin that was bigger than his face, "Gollum~Gollum~Gollum~~~"
Bitter herbs, astringent grass roots, hard-to-swallow bark, and something I don't know what it is....... At the end of the meal, the mountain didn't know what it was like, but the tears flowed down uncontrollably, and they never stopped.
The old king was a little relieved but more worried, but since he had chosen this path himself---
The next day, the man dragged the half-dead mountain away, but the mountain stubbornly kowtowed three times to the old king's head, and then fainted again, the more the man looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and said sorry to the old king, he carried the mountain and left, what the mountain didn't know was that the old king's head left tears at the moment he turned around, and the old man's tears were not because of relief, not worry, not ...... He just didn't give up.
What happened was like yesterday, so clear, so uncomfortable, Dashan clearly remembered that he had been groggy for nearly a month, and spent half a month in bed, the feeling that he couldn't pull out of the toilet, the feeling of pain to convulsions, and the feeling of almost numbness in the end.
Grandpa knew that I was coming back today and did it for me? Impossible! Could it be Xiaoshan? Looking at the old man wielding a kitchen knife, Dashan didn't call out the person he had been missing for three years.
The old king seemed to feel something, suddenly turned around, and saw the sluggish mountain behind him, he smiled self-deprecatingly and thought that he was hallucinating again.
The movement of turning back suddenly stopped, his eyes were straight, and he looked at the mountain fixedly, Lao Tzu is not old yet, where is the illusion coming from! Then a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he looked unconvinced: "Are you back?"
"Grandpa!!" plopped, and Dashan knelt in front of his grandfather.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. The old king touched the mountain's head and whispered.
"Grandpa, I'm just coming back to have a look this time, I'll have to leave in two days. ”
The old king's face darkened, but he still said: "That's right, how can grandpa tie you to your side, the man still has to wander outside." ”
Dashan's nose was inexplicably sour when he listened to his grandfather's words, but he listened to his grandfather and continued: "Go back to the house and rest, grandpa will make you something to eat later." ”
---It's delicious!" Dashan's face changed.
Lao Wang Tou looked at Dashan's appearance and suddenly laughed, "This is not for you, look at it, you are scared, this kind of thing can only be eaten once in a person's life, and you can't bear it if you have more." ”
The stone in Dashan's heart fell to the ground suddenly, but then he asked tentatively, "Is that Xiaoshan......?"
"It's not him, it's another, let's talk about it when he comes back in the evening." ”
When did my family have any relatives? Dashan's mind was full of questions. "Oops!" Dashan then patted his head, his voice full of remorse, "Grandpa, I still have a few elder brothers in the middle of the sect, I forgot about them when I went home just now, I'll pick them up." ”
"No, we're already here. Dashan was just about to go out when the familiar voice of the third elder came.
"Old man, I beg your forgiveness for taking the liberty of coming to the door. The third elder didn't enter the courtyard, but said to the old king outside the door.
The old king did not panic, and said calmly: "You are a guest from afar, and you are your own person in the division of the mountain, how can there be a reason that you can't enter the door." ”
Look at what he said, if Xingyun was here, I'm afraid he would be dumbfounded.
The third elder was speechless for a moment, so he had to push the door in, hugged his fist at the old king's head, and said, "Hello old man!"
"Hello old man. The young man and the two girls shouted together, obviously asked by the third elder, and the third elder glanced back at Li Yunjian, and Li Yunjian had no choice but to say something.
"Old man, I may have been bothering you for two days this time, I hope you don't be surprised. The third elder said to the old king.
"Where, it's too late for the old man to be happy. Let's sit in the house, I'm tired of traveling, drink tea and rest for a while, and I'll go cook for you. The old king said.
"That's trouble. The third elder suddenly saw something on the desk of the old king's head, and two things caught his attention, but he only glanced at it and didn't say anything, his curiosity has never been so strong.
After a few polite gestures, everyone was welcomed into the house.
What Xingyun didn't know was that the trajectory of his life began to change from this moment......
