As I walked on the road, I pondered what Chen Xian said, although his and Chen Shuang's practices were not worth learning from. However, what he said really touched me, and children with unhappy childhood are very sad, and I am no exception. I left with my master when I was less than ten years old, learning all kinds of Taoism, although I did not live up to my master's painstaking cultivation, but I also have a family!

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through me, and that was to go home and have a look!

"Senior brother, do you have time?"

Su was a little surprised, "Of course I have time, why are you asking this?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to go home and see, since I was in elementary school, I rarely see my parents again, and now I don't even have any memory of where they live. I can only remember a little bit of my grandparents' addresses. ”

Su Crazy smiled, thinking that he understood very well, "Fourth Senior Brother, you miss your family, right?" Your grandparents feel very sorry for you, right? ”

I shook my head and said; "No, my childhood was unfortunate! My grandfather either beat or scolded me, saying every day that I was stupid and lacking souls, and my grandmother was even more excessive, not letting me eat at every turn, and I was beaten and said I deserved it......"

"What, there are still such grandparents? Although I am not the only boy in the family, my grandparents at least do not treat me as hard as you, and they have never beaten or scolded me. The one who was the most ruthless to me was our master. Su Crazy didn't believe my words very much, and complained about the master by the way.

"I am the opposite of your situation, but the master feels the most sorry for me, and he has taught almost all of his life's learning."

"You say this, I don't raise the bar with you, whoever calls your kid's Taoist roots is good, and it makes sense for the master to love you."

Hearing him say this, I felt a little relieved in my heart, and asked rhetorically, "What about your childhood?" Do you want me to be so shady? ”

"No, I'm almost ten years older than you, and when you entered the Extreme Dao Sect, I was almost an adult, and I finished elementary school before I entered the Extreme Dao Sect. I grew up with my parents, and they have always loved me, not to mention my grandparents, who are close to each other! Hey, fourth, since you don't have much affection for your grandparents, why do you want to go to them? ”

I took a long breath and said, "Maybe it's because I chatted with Chen Xian just now and it touched my heart, Chen Xian is pitiful, how much better am I than him?" I'm also a poor person, a very poor person, my parents died early, but I finally have a sister who is both a father and a mother. And I, except for the master who loves me, who cares about me? ”

"Senior brother, don't think about it, Chen Xian and Chen Shuang went against the sky to have such an end. You must not learn to be like them, although your childhood was unfortunate, but you still have our brothers and your Deng Wanwan. ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't go astray, I just want to see my grandfather and grandma again, ask my parents about their situation, I want to see my father and mother even more." ”

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is the case, then I will rest assured, okay, I will go with you." ”

In this way, we took a car and left, according to my childhood memory, to the 3302 property community.

It's been 25 years since I left my grandparents, and I remember it as a narrow street, with all the houses on both sides of the road being courtyard houses. Compared with the rows of modern residential communities, this is a forgotten corner, which is incompatible with the layout of a modern metropolis.

I took Su Crazy to turn around here, and he was annoyed by the turn, and began to complain to me, "Your house is really hard to find, I don't know how many times you have turned around." ”

"One more turn is here, and soon, hey, you've been living in Beijing for so many years. I must know that the courtyard is worth a lot, you say it! ”

"Old Beijing Courtyard? Hey, let me tell you that, it's actually a matter of history, scarcity is expensive, you know? Now that the city is developing with each passing day, there are fewer and fewer old objects like courtyards, and there are fewer and less! It was precious. However, living in a courtyard house, it is not convenient at all, it is really inconvenient. Anyway, I don't like courtyard houses, I prefer to live in a residential community with convenient life. Moreover, I don't like Beijing at all, those Beijing drifters want to buy a house in the capital, hum, I dare to say that I regret buying it. ”

Listening to his complaints, I only smiled, as if it was fine, sure enough, the authorities are fascinated, most people scoff at what they see and learn, but have certain illusions about the ethereal unknown. Once upon a time, I also wanted to have a three-bedroom house in the capital, but now it seems that there is nothing good in the capital!

Finally arrived at our family's old house, the home is still the same home, even the small courtyard door has not changed, it is still the rusty and mottled iron door.

"Senior brother, this is my hometown, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

When Su Mamad looked at this dilapidated house, he crooked his mouth and said, "No, I can't stand your dilapidated house, I'm waiting for you outside, you go and go back quickly!" I don't want to wait too long. ”

"Okay, thirty minutes at most!"

After that, I knocked on the door, who knew that the door was not locked at all, and as soon as I knocked, the door opened.

Without thinking too much, I walked in, and through the small courtyard of less than ten square meters, I entered the room, a one-bedroom house, and saw an old lady with silver hair struggling to carry a thermos and pour water into the cup.

Although I haven't seen her for more than 20 years, I still recognize this old man at a glance, she is my grandmother.

"Grandma'......"

The silver-haired old lady didn't react and poured water on her own.

At such an old age, the functions of various organs in the body have also declined, and I shouted loudly again: "Grandma......"

The old man finally heard it, and slowly turned her head to look at me, but she didn't recognize me. Indeed, when I left, I was still a child less than 1.4 meters tall, and after more than 20 years, I have grown into a middle-aged man with a big waist and a round waist of 1.75 meters. The change is so great that it is normal for her not to recognize it.

The old man opened her mouth, and only a row of her teeth remained on her mandible, and slowly pursed her lips and asked, "Young man, who are you?" What are you going to do with me? ”

Looking at my grandmother's rickety body, I feel a little sad, although I was abused by her in various ways when I was a child, I can't hate it anymore anyway.

I stepped forward, took the thermos from her hand, filled the glass with water, and sat her down with the help in my hand.

"Grandma, it's me, look at me, I'm Zhang Ruoxu! Ruoxu, it's the grandson who has been beaten by you and grandpa, several times, you kicked me out of the house and didn't let me eat, do you remember? Grandmother! ”

Reminded by me, my grandmother seemed to understand a little, she used her withered hands, stroked my hair, and finally spoke, "Ruoxu, you have been away from this family for more than ten years, right?" ”

"Grandma, you're mistaken, it's been twenty-five years since I left home! When I left, I was so tall, do you remember? I reached out and gestured to him.

"Oh, come to think of it, my grandsons are so old! Where have you been all these years? Don't come to see us either. ”

When my grandmother said this, it became clear to me that their lives had not been good in the years I had gone, as can be seen from the fact that she lived in this old house. The furniture is still those old-fashioned furniture, none of them have been updated, the household appliances in the home have long been broken, and the only thing that can be connected to electricity is an old-fashioned landline.

I don't know what happened to this family, I just think my grandparents are pitiful, but they are hateful.

"Wife, who are you talking to? What about my water? ”

"Oh, here it is!"

Grandma agreed, and asked me to pick up the water glass and go in with her, "Your grandfather is seriously ill, look at him." ”

I followed my grandmother into the inner room, my grandfather's condition was even worse, not only his hair was all gray but also a lower leg was sawed off, and the disease had tortured my grandfather to the point that he was no longer human, he could only toss and turn on the bed, and he didn't even have the ability to move on the ground.

"Grandpa, look at me, I'm back! I'm Zhang Ruoxu! ”

"What? Zhang Ruoxu! You're back, your grandson is back! ”

As he spoke, the grandfather couldn't help but burst into tears, and only sniffled, "My grandson is back, back!" Come, come to grandpa, let grandpa take a good look! ”

I sat down next to my grandfather, and he looked at me with those cataract eyes that were almost invisible, and I couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, he finally said something that made me the most gratifying.

"If you are empty, grandpa...... Grandpa is not a good grandfather, grandpa is sorry for you! ”

The dying man is also kind in his words, and his grandfather's physical condition is so poor, it seems that time is really running out. I was dumbfounded for a while, and I didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa has always had a wish, that is, he hopes that a college student will come out of our family, and your father and your two aunts have not fulfilled my wish. I pinned all my hopes on you, but ah, you're not smart, you're naughty at school, I know I'm cruel to you when I beat you and scold you, but I'm good for you! ”

Originally, I didn't hate my grandfather so much, but when he said this, I was angry again, and said directly: "Grandpa, I'm naughty, have you really cared about my words?" Have you listened to what I said? Think about it, when I was beaten outside and came back to tell you and grandma, you didn't listen to my explanation at all, you only said that I had nothing to do with touching people, beating people for a while, and committing cheapness. Then, when I made a mistake in school, the teacher deducted 50 points from me, making me the last in the class. Also, the teacher said that I didn't finish my homework and called my parents, you and grandma couldn't help but say, if you catch me, you will beat me, the truth is that my homework book was deducted by the teacher, what do I use to write homework? You and Grandma never believed in me and never liked me. ”

With that, I stood up and walked outside.
