Chapter 10
Back slope, cemetery.
The yellow paper is floating in the sky, and there is only the wind and gloom......
Here, it was originally a flower wall, and after the flowers withered, it was used as a cemetery. Here, the burial of the relics of the village for a hundred years into the ground, only now, there is one more......
They in the village are all ......
They in the village are all ......
"Martial arts ride the wind and waves, and the day is advancing but not diligent......"
When the mourner, a white-headed old man burns incense and worships the buckle, the ceremony is deep and heavy, and after the ceremony is finished, he says: "Yunqin, Angelica should go, a handful of floats and sinks into it, and the three points of obsession are not ......deep."
This person, the head of Yiyuan Village, is also named Ni Ping, and his name is Zhongliang.
His person is amiable, approachable, and amiable, but at this time he is particularly solemn, solemn and solemn.
Behind him, all the villagers were side by side, only gloomy and melancholy.
Yiyuan Village, but thirty or fifty households, although small, but the heart is united, although poor, but together. There is another one here, and everyone can't help but be sentimental, especially those who know it, and their hearts are even more complicated.
The so-called "those who have children, see the monument and are silent, and those who know are ...... to cry when they hear it", which is exactly like this.
"Hmmm!" Wu Lie fell, and Xiao Zheng Ming, who was holding hands with Zheng Zong, sobbed and wiped a handful of tears, and then slowly clenched Zheng Zong's right hand under the gaze with a blank expression.
He looked straight at Uncle Wu's tombstone, and his eyes were full of Uncle Wu's life......
What he knew was vivid, and when he passed away, it was as it is today......
The people of the relict village, who are generous all their lives, do their best to be benevolent and righteous, and a group of pro-virtue - Wu Feng, the word is diligent.
Zheng Zong was silent, just looking at the inscription on the stele, and took a sip of the spirit.
Call......
When the wind came, the incense smoke was swept away, and the clear clouds were swirling......
"Born here, and rested here, life for a lifetime, should not ......be left behind" Ni Zhongliang held the incense, so he sincerely inserted the incense in front of the stele, retreated to the front of the village, hugged and said: "Rest in peace......"
"Rest ......in peace" When all the villagers hugged and bowed together, Zheng Zong and Xiao Zheng Mingxing bowed and closed their eyes heavily.
At dusk, the wind rolled up several pieces of yellow paper, and it was staggering......
The send-off was silent, waiting for the people to disperse, Zheng Zong and the others wanted to leave, but they saw Xiao Zheng Ming stunned, and then stopped to look - but found Xiao Bai lying on a certain grave.
There, there is a group of small graves, isolated from the outside of the cemetery.
There, buried are the companions of the Relic Village, who are faithful, brave, and after death, they are also accompanied.
The narrow boundary in the middle, though not wide, symbolizes the reciprocity and companionship between them, and the narrow line, though it separates him from them, is not like that.
"Uh-huh......" Little Bai Yi was so happy that he lay between the two graves, looking sullen and sad, because in front of him was his father, whom he had never met, and his good playmate.
That's right, rhubarb and white, right in front of its eyes.
Seeing Xiao Bai's appearance, Xiao Zheng Ming suddenly felt that his eyes were hot, and tears couldn't help flowing out, and he couldn't help but purse his mouth.
"Stupid ......" At this time, Zishu came from the side, he walked to Xiaobai's side angrily, and then squatted down to pick Xiaobai up from the ground, gently stroked Xiaobai's head and muttered: "Xiaobai is not well-behaved, he is running around, and he is not allowed to come here again in the future......"
"Hmm......" Xiaobai whimpered lowly, looking very sad and pitiful.
"Stupid ......" Zishu gently stroked Xiaobai's head, but a tear fell and hit Xiaobai's brain, but he didn't realize it, and turned around and left here with Xiaobai in his arms.
Xiao Zhengming has been watching Zishu leave, but the midpoint of his gaze has been on Xiaobai's body.
"If you know the Tao of Immortality, you will definitely come back to life...... Xiao Zheng Ming looked at the other party and disappeared on the horizon, and secretly clenched his fists with determination in his heart......
Hearing and cultivating immortality, but not knowing, the road is obstructive and long......
......
That night, Xiao Zheng Ming participated in the moonlight and held the candlestick, and copied the scriptures on the stone table outside the pavilion.
"Under the sages, the same shops on different tracks, benevolent government for the people, law and government for governing the country, and those who are not benevolent ......" He looked focused and neatly written, stroke by stroke, pause with rhythm and penmanship.
On the other side, on the steps outside the pavilion.
Zheng Zong carved here, with wine as a companion, the father and son were far away from each other, both busy with their own affairs, and did not talk to each other.
There is an emotion that does not need words, it seems that I look at the horizon, some of them, what is it, and some of them, ask about cause and effect. But why is it that if there is cause and effect? If I look to the heavens, you will accompany me.
Zheng Zong and the two have been going on for a long time, even if they are busy with each other many times, but they are always accompanied by warmth, and their mood is self-evident.
During the pause of "...... Goo", Zheng Zong took a sip of strong wine and lowered his stomach, put down the wine bottle one by one, and then did the carving.
Sand, sand......
Under the faint sound of gouging, the things in his hands gradually carved edges and corners, slowly lifelike and fine.
It seems to be a dragon, like a dragon, because its dragon head is uncut, and it is also eyeless.
For a long time, only insects chirped and frogs chirped, and it was not until Xiao Zheng Ming finished transcribing that the sound of rustling in the night field subsided.
After the transcription was completed, Xiao Zhengming still hovered the tip of the pen, and was stunned for a while before slowly putting down the pen and closing the bookbook and the business book.
After that, Xiao Zheng Ming sat there in a daze with nothing to do, looking at the table motionlessly.
Sand, sand......
Soon, Zheng Zong had already carved out the dragon's head, but after he stopped at the tip of the knife a few times, he still didn't give the dragon the finishing touch, but chose to repair its body.
"Daddy......" At this moment, Xiao Zheng Ming over there came with a soft call.
Hearing this, Zheng Zongzhi's hand paused slightly, and then he responded in a revised manner: "What's the matter." ”
Xiao Zheng Ming was silent for a moment, and then shook his head without saying a word, and Zheng Zong didn't ask again.
Xiao Zheng Ming thought about it for a long time, and then raised his eyes to look at the statue in Zheng Zong's hand, but saw that the eyes were cloudy, although there was no charm and brilliance, but it could be re-reflected with Xiao Zheng Ming's eyes.
After looking at it for a long time, Xiao Zheng Ming shook his head inexplicably, got up and walked to Zheng Zong's side and sat down, dragging his chin with both hands to look at the night sky.
The night is getting thicker, the moon is hidden, the sky is full of sparks and insects, but it is gone, and the shadow of the twin peaks under the pavilion is loose.
Sand, sand......
The sawdust fell, and the dragon was born early, but the carving knife still didn't stop.
"Daddy. After a while, Xiao Zheng Ming called out again.
"Hmm. Zheng Zong responded.
"The Outside World...... How it is. Xiao Zheng Ming groaned slightly.
Zheng Zong smiled slightly and said softly: "The outside world is big and wide, rich and colorful, but it is also unpredictable and dangerous. ”
"Daddy has been there. Xiao Zhengming was silent for a while, and then said.
"Been there. Zheng Zong smiled slightly, and then said: "But it has faded." ”
Xiao Zheng Ming didn't ask any more questions, and when he saw the moon peeking out of the clouds, he couldn't turn his eyes.
Zheng Zong didn't say too much, and he didn't raise his head from beginning to end.
After a long time, when the moon was hidden in the clouds again, Xiao Zheng Mingcai opened his mouth secretly and said: "Today, I heard it from Master Chen...... There are monks in the world, and they can live forever and bring the dead back to life. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Zong paused in his hand, and after a short silence, he started to carve again: "Rest and sleep early, tomorrow class will be early." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng Ming didn't answer for the time being, and only waited for the moonlight to come out, then nodded lightly and said, "Well, daddy doesn't have to sit for a long time." ”
Zheng Zong smiled and nodded, although he didn't say anything, Xiao Zheng Ming could also sense it.
Then, Xiao Zheng Ming got up and went to the stone table, and took away the books, pens, and inkstones on the table.
Zheng Zong sat there with a smile on his lips, and it wasn't until Xiao Zheng Ming returned to the house that the smile that gave him faded.
At some point, he stopped what he was doing, and sat there motionless, unable to see all his thoughts, perhaps because he was sitting in the shadows.
After a long moment, he blinked his eyes slightly, and then slowly raised his face to look at the bright night sky.
The cloudy moon was clear, and it was hidden after Lang Lang, and the stars and moons and black clouds flew away in his eyes one by one, and in just a moment, there was only a bright moon left.
Xu was a little tired, he closed his eyes for a moment to rest, and then picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
After a sip of wine, he slowly opened his eyes, and just a little more nostalgia, then put down the wine bottle again, and began to carve again. Like, no matter how much he carves, he will not be satisfied......
There is no one under the moon, only wine as a companion.
......
It was night, in Xiao Zheng Ming's bedroom.
Xiao Zheng Ming was immersed in his sleep, although he didn't move, but with a smile, what kind of dream did he have......
......
The next day, during the break.
"Haha, haha...... Zisheng is really a stupid person, he just wants to do laundry and cook at home, go to the countryside to plow the fields......" In the study hall, a group of students laughed and talked, they either sat staggered, or stood idle, without any serious appearance in front of Mr.
"Anyway, I think it's good, I don't want to leave the village......" Zisheng, who was made fun of by everyone, stood there, he shrugged his shoulders with his hands outstretched, but he didn't think there was anything bad or stupid about it.
"Uh-huh-" The teaser Zi Ping sat there crookedly, he dragged his face with his hands, and after hearing Zisheng's answer, he shook his head with his mouth greatly and looked a little intriguing, and turned his eyes to look at Xiao Zheng Ming on the side, and asked very casually: "Eh, Ziming, what do you want to do when you grow up in the future?"
The child's voice is crisp, but there is no other meaning.
Xiao Zheng Ming looked out the window with his hands on his cheeks, as if he hadn't heard Ziping's question.
......Seeing this, Ziping couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and sighed in his heart, and then he lost interest in asking any more, so he turned back to talk to the other partners.
"I think. But at this time, Xiao Zhengming suddenly opened his mouth.
Hearing the sound, the others who didn't think Xiao Zheng Ming could speak were also stunned, and then they all turned their eyes.
"I want to ......" Xiao Zheng Ming didn't look back, still looking at the willow fluttering outside the window, and said: "Learn the method of immortality, the art of resurrecting the dead......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng Ming was speechless for a while, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Then, as knowledgeable as a gentleman, as ingenious as a father, and as skilled as a little white, there is no trouble." ”
He smiled heartily and beat the sun, but the rest of the crowd was dumbfounded, and he was speechless.
"Hahaha......" After a while, everyone laughed, and they didn't know whether they agreed or denied, but they were always happy.
......
"Humble thanks to the master, there is Mr. Lao's ......"
After class, a group of students bid farewell to Master Mo and Master Chen in the courtyard, and sent them away one by one with the smile of the former.
Although everyone walked in order, when they got out of the gate of the academy, the group hurriedly gathered together.
Among them, the one who walked in the forefront was the guy who didn't seek progress in the academy.
This son's surname is Li, his name is Sheng, and he is known as Zisheng. And his father is what everyone calls Lao Li, who is also a hunter in the village.
At this time, Li Sheng crossed his fingers and hugged the back of his head, and walked in front with big strides. On his left and right, they were Xiao Zheng Ming and Zisheng, and the other younger ones all followed behind.
"Eh, you don't know how to wait for me, you have to walk so fast all day!" Ziyu, the youngest, trotted to keep up with everyone's speed, and complained with some resentment, causing everyone to slow down with some weakness and helplessness.
"Hmph!" Zi Yu was still unhappy, he pulled the hem of his clothes and trouser legs, and only took a big stride with his head down, for fear that he would be accidentally pulled behind again.
"Eh, Ziming, there is no class tomorrow, my father said that he would take me to hunt in the forest cave, would you like to go?"
"Ugh. Hearing this, Xiao Zheng Ming was slightly stunned, and after a little silence, he nodded lightly and said, "Hmm...... Yes. ”
"Then you, Zisheng. Seeing this, Li Sheng turned his head to look at Zisheng on the side and asked.
"I'm fine. Zisheng shrugged his shoulders easily.
Seeing this, Li Sheng tilted his head back again and asked the others, "What about you?
"Well, go. The others just nodded slightly.
"Of course Ziyu has to go!Otherwise, you will leave me behind!" But Xiao Ziyu's attitude was indeed quite resolute.
Hearing this, Li Sheng, who was already tilting his head back, tilted his head down a little more and said, "Then it's decided, tomorrow, at the entrance of the village." ”
"Okay-" Li Sheng responded with a call, but he had the ability to call.
"Which village should we go to, south or north?"
"Yes, yes, Zisheng has to make it clear, otherwise everyone will go to the wrong place and can't find you. Zi Yu, who was striding and swinging his arms, echoed with a smile.
"Nantou, of course. Li Sheng replied without looking back. After that, Dan saw that the corners of his mouth suddenly raised and looked in the direction where Zi Yu was, and added with a smile: "And only Zi Yu will go to the wrong place, right? Lin Cave is obviously on the southwest side of the village, how can he go to the north to meet?"
"Hahaha...... It's just ......"
"Hahaha...... I said too, every time Ziyu either overslept or ran to the wrong entrance of the village......"
"I'm going to cry and make a fuss when it's over, hahaha......"
As soon as Li Sheng opened the topic, some friends immediately burst out laughing.
"Hmph! That's because of stupidity.Zisheng didn't tell Ziyu!" Ziyu was very unhappy to compete with everyone, and then folded his arms angrily and said angrily: "And the lazy grandpa, I don't know how to wake me up!
"Hehe, okay, okay, Ziyu is still young, don't make fun of him......" Ziping poked the arm of the person next to him with a wicked smile, and then laughed and snorted.
"Zi Yu is not small! Hmph!" Zi Yu angrily pinned his head to the other side, and didn't want to pay attention to these guys anymore.
"Hahaha......" The group talked and laughed, and gradually drifted away......
