Chapter 28 What is it to be fatherless and motherless?
Lee's gone...
An Jiuling is not very old, but he is very sensible...
He knew that his uncle wanted to practice, so after Aunt Li regained his light and thanked Dade several times, he wanted to go down the mountain on the grounds that the medical hall was busy with affairs, and persuaded him to leave by the way.
And Zhang Xiuyuan didn't go far, and when he saw them go out of the mountain gate, he manipulated the little turtle in the prayer pool to inhale the red dust and smoke on the copper coin into his mouth.
The picture scroll of mountains and seas is presented again, and as a wisp of turbidity submerges into it, various memory fragments also emerge on the scroll.
Lee's memory fragments...
Li's husband's family died early, orphans and widows depended on each other, but fortunately, they still had some family background, not to mention how rich and noble, and they didn't worry about food and clothing in the early years.
Xu was widowed at an early age, and the Li family doted on his only son Wang Binggui since he was a child, and he was reluctant to beat and scold his son even if he made a mistake.
And his son Wang Binggui grew up in such an environment, and inevitably contracted many vices, such as being lazy to eat, such as gambling!
At first, I was timid and playful, just hanging out with some scoundrels...
Later, as he grew older, he became more and more bold, played bigger and bigger, and gradually began to enter and exit some gambling houses.
Gradually, he became addicted to the thrill of gambling, and it was difficult for him to control himself.
Seeing that the family assets were lost little by little, Li saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, and she had persuaded her son many times, but it didn't work.
It wasn't until the family assets were exhausted that Wang Binggui relented some...
Li had no choice but to help the restaurant wash dishes, help people make money by washing laundry to make a living, and soak in water all year round, even in the cold winter, she never rested, and her hands also cracked out one after another.
And Wang Binggui still does not change, adhering to the principle of 'where there are children crying every day, where there are gamblers who lose every day', if there is nothing to do, go to steal chickens and dogs, and when you have money, you will gamble, and you will not do business.
It's just that he is still a little self-aware, and he knows that he is ashamed of his mother, so he doesn't ask Li for money even if he steals chickens and dogs.
Not long ago, Wang Binggui somehow lost his eyes in the gambling house, got up, and bet on the only remaining ancestral house title deed as gambling money.
As a result, Tianpai met the Supreme, not only lost the ancestral house deed, but also owed a debt to the gambling house...
Wang Binggui walked out of the gambling house in a daze, knowing that he had no shame to face his mother at home, so he hid.
It's just that it doesn't matter if he hides, but he suffers his biological mother Li.
Now over 50 years old, Li was not only kicked out of the ancestral house, but also had to help his son pay off his debts, if it wasn't for Li's brother to take him in, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a place to live.
I washed my face with tears all day long, and finally cried blind.
But even if she is reduced to such a field, what she prays for is not that she can regain her sight, but that her son, who has fled from debt collection, will be safe.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, nothing more than this...
…………………
The memory fragments manifested on the mountain and sea painting scrolls gradually dimmed, and some small characters of ancient seals surfaced: get a wisp of 'red dust and fireworks', dip the seven products of cause and effect in human characters, and give a 'Minghui fruit'.
Zhang Xiuyuan inexplicably had an apricot-like fruit in his hand, and then he realized what the so-called 'Minghui Fruit' was for.
Enhance the five senses and six senses...
The five senses refer to shape, sound, color, taste, and touch, that is, the five sense organs of human beings: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch; The six senses refer to the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and consciousness.
When a 'Ming Hui Fruit' enters the abdomen, it is like a person who has been nearsighted for many years suddenly wearing glasses, as if the world is much clearer.
He vaguely heard footsteps, opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Li and An Jiuling returning.
An Jiuling explained with some embarrassment: "Uncle, the disciple and Aunt Li had just arrived at the mountain gate, and Aunt Li suddenly said that there was something to ask for. ”
"It's okay..."
Zhang Xiuyuan waved his hand disappreciatively...
He also knew that he had refined the red dust and smoke and fire qi and had been stained with cause and effect, and if the other party's prayer was to cure the eye disease, then the cause and effect would be over; However, what the other party prayed for was not to cure the eye disease, but to hope that the son who was collected for debts and fled would be safe.
Li also seemed to know that his trip was a bit of an inch, and immediately wiped the corners of his eyes and wept and said: "The women don't know how to disturb the Taoist master's cultivation, and I hope that the Taoist chief will not be surprised." ”
"It's okay, I haven't practiced yet..."
Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that the other party was a hard worker, and asked with a sigh: "Aunt Li, you have cured your eye disease, but you don't know what else to ask for?" ”
Li stumbled and said, "I hope that the Taoist chief will bring a message to my son." ”
"Talk?"
Zhang Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this: "If Poor Dao is not bad, Ling Lang is now in debt for gambling debts, and he doesn't even want to see your biological mother when he hides, how can Poor Dao talk to him?" ”
"He'll come to find the chief, for sure."
Li explained very firmly: "Although my son Wang Binggui is a bit of a bastard, but he is still filial, he hides because he has no face to see me, but I know that he has not gone far, and is still watching me secretly, if he knows that I have cured my eye disease in the Taoist, he will definitely come to the Taoist to thank him." ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan asked, "What if Ling Lang doesn't come?" ”
"He's coming!"
Li wanted to vouch for his son, but he was short of words for a while but didn't know how to say it, so he only stumbled and said: "He was just negligent in discipline since he was a child, and he was taken badly, he... His nature is not bad, and he will definitely come. ”
Zhang Xiuyuan saw Li's pleading face, and it was not easy to say anything to hit her, so he only sighed and asked, "What do you bring?" ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Seeing that Dao Chang was relieved, Li Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the faded and worn-out handkerchief from his body, and stuffed it into Zhang Xiuyuan's hand together with the copper coins inside.
"If my son comes to the Taoist and bothers the Taoist to give him this money, he will say... He said that the people who asked for the debt had already been dealt with by his uncle, so he should not worry. ”
"Just say...... Let's just say that I'm old as a mother, it's useless, and I only earned this amount of money from washing dishes some time ago, so let him use it first. ”
“……”
Zhang Xiuyuan was silent, for some reason, he only felt that the worn-out handkerchief in his hand was very heavy and heavy, and the person who was already pressed in his hand was out of breath...
He sighed and nodded, and responded: "If Ling Lang comes here, Poor Dao will definitely tell you." ”
"Thank you, Chief! Thank you, Chief! ”
Li Shi's face was overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't know how to express her gratitude in her heart, so she only wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed her waist to thank you.
An Jiuling took the Li family away and went down the mountain...
Zhang Xiuyuan watched them go down the mountain, and for some reason he had no idea of cultivating, that is, he looked at the miscellaneous travelogues with relish in the past, and at this time, he felt empty and boring, and he was not interested at all.
He went back to his room and took the Dust Shadow Sword, brushed his fingers on the blade of the sword, and for some reason, he thought of the master who had taught him to be kind since he was a child.
His fingers tapped the blade of the sword, accompanied by the crisp sound of the 'ding bell', and sighed softly: "Father and mother can't be slapped, but it's ...... to laugh stupidly."
