Chapter 31: It's Cold, Add More Clothes

In the following days, Dao Chan was bored in the bamboo building, staying at home, and turned over and over the roster, and he wanted to know all the rosters by heart. And make plans for the future.

Although Dao Chan sneered at Murong Yiwen, looking at the detailed records in the roster, Dao Chan was still quite grateful to Murong Yiwen.

Daozen is not the kind of person who does not understand the world and only knows how to blindly take. Although Murong was also as gentle as Wantong Pavilion, and was accepted as a disciple by the master of Wantong Pavilion, it was not easy to get what he wanted to know at will in Wantong Pavilion.

Although there are few people, the roster is dozens of pages. Seeing the end, Daochan found that Murong Yiwen left him a sentence: Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Dao Chan shook his head with a smile and scolded with a smile: "It's really a lot of talk." ”

After making sure that he had really memorized it, he closed the roster. walked out of the bamboo building, stretched his waist, and swayed around Lu Qigui several times, and finally saw Lu Qigui close his eyes, he knew that Lu Qigui wanted to hit people with a hammer again. Only then did he smile and wander into the firewood room. The phoenix kite is cooking on the fire, washing vegetables, and boiling water, and he is very busy alone. Daozen walked to the stove and sat on the hay: "I'll help you light the fire." Daozen casually threw the notes into the stove.

Huang Kite looked up and saw Dao Chan and smiled slightly: "What are you doing when you come in, go out and wait, and the meal will be good in a while." ”

"When I come to you, I will eat white food, and I will feel ashamed when I think about it. ”

"Thirteen, what kind of bad idea are you playing?" Huang Kite didn't think that Dao Chan would feel guilty, and ran in to help herself.

"Heaven and earth conscience, how can there be a crooked idea. With that, Daozen picked up a piece of chopping wood next to him and put it in.

Since Dao Chan wanted to help, Huang Kite was naturally willing. Besides, this should be the life she has dreamed of for many years, and there are still a few dolls in the courtyard riding bamboo horses there, laughing and playing.

Daozen looked at the flames in the stove and shook his head: "Why is it not burning well, I'll add a few more fires." ”

He threw the roster in his hand into the stove, watched it burn instantly, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Today, Dao Zen helped, and the phoenix kite was in a very good mood. I cooked two more dishes. As long as his granddaughter is happy, Lu Qigui's face when he looks at Daochan is much better.

This meal is probably the most sumptuous meal and the most harmonious meal that Daozen has eaten in most of the past six months. The phoenix kite took out a jar of soju out of nowhere, and Dao Chan and Lu Qigui both took a few sips. It's not that Dao Chan doesn't want to drink more, it's just that under the cold gaze of the phoenix kite, he can only put down the wine glass stupidly.

After dinner, Lu Qigui sat in the courtyard again and smoked dry cigarettes, Daochan sat beside him, and Lu Qigui spit out a puff of cigarettes.

Daochan stretched his neck to look at the firewood room, the phoenix kite was brushing the dishes, he took out the jar of wine from behind, put it in front of him, took out two more wine bowls, and poured a bowl for himself and Lu Qigui.

"Old man Lu, drink some more?"

Lu Qigui didn't look at Dao Zen, Yu Guang looked at the firewood room, and then picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

Daozen laughed, and poured the wine into his stomach in one gulp, which made him feel distressed. On weekdays, the phoenix kite doesn't let himself drink, he can only drink one bowl every time, to relieve his cravings, Taoist Zen can be poured well, drink wine as water, can he not feel distressed?

Daochan looked up at the starry sky: "Old man, can you do me a favor?"

"No, I don't. Lu Qigui refused.

This time, Daozen did not say anything disrespectful, he asked, "Why?"

Lu Qigui glanced down at the soju in the bowl, and he drank it all: "Do you know who the two green tombs not far behind the bamboo tower are?"

"I don't know. ”

"It's the girl's parents. Do you know why they left their girls behind at such a young age and died in a foreign land?"

"I don't know. ”

Lu Qigui knocked the pipe on the ground twice: "The old man is here to tell you." The girl's parents are just like you think, so they go down the mountain to play puppet tricks. At that time, a buyer paid a thousand dollars for the girl's parents to make a secret weapon. The girl's parents didn't think much about it, took the deposit, and handed over the hidden weapon. That was the end of the matter. But someone came to seek revenge, not only the buyer's family of more than 30 people, but even the girl's parents were implicated and killed. The puppet mechanism and the hidden weapons are all dead things, what is the crime of the girl's parents?"

"Not guilty. Daozen said.

Lu Qigui sighed: "How can I not be guilty? Although the things created by my Lu family are dead things, there is no right or wrong." But there is a difference between good and evil in people's hearts. If you don't create it, how can you use your utensils to kill people, even if you have good intentions in your hearts, but you can use them for evil deeds? If you don't create them, the murderer may have a heart to kill, and if he doesn't kill people, he will not have revenge, let alone revenge. Karma is all in this. Boy, you laugh at my Lu family's ancestral training, stubborn. But the old man said that it has its own reason. That's why our ancestors set the rules. My Lu family has studied this way for generations, and I have also seen through the pros and cons of this way. Not to mention the lives of my son and daughter-in-law, just the little kite, the price she paid for it, would you not know? In the north for three years, she lived like a pig and a dog, and suffered a lot. Therefore, the old man does not want to harm himself and others. I'm doing this for your own good. ”

Daozen laughed: "What you always said, I never thought about it. I just thought I needed some hidden weapons, and this should be easy for you. ”

"Although the old man knows very little about you, the little kite often talks about you. Listening to what she said, you are not ruthless, you will repay you, in that case, why not put it down?"

"To tell you the truth, I can't put it down, and I've never thought about putting it down. Master died for some reason, so I went down the mountain alone, Master was right, there are no mountains outside the mountain, only the world. I lived on the streets, ate and slept in the open, and suffered a lot of eyes. Even if I become a beggar, those who fight with pigs and dogs for food will humiliate me. There are also good-hearted people in this world, and they are not useless. I originally thought that becoming a beggar had fallen to the bottom, but who would have thought that I was sold to the north by human traffickers, and when I heard the screams of those traffickers in the black box, I thought that I could finally get out of trouble, but I didn't know that I had just come out of Longtan and entered the tiger's den. The people who killed the traffickers were a bunch of brutes, and I became a slave who was not even a pig or a dog. Three years, three whole years. Daozen's tone was flat, as if he was not talking about what happened to him.

"From going down the mountain to being a slave in the north for three years, I have seen and heard everything that I dare not think. One day, I killed a boy who was several years older than me. Now that I think about it, I wasn't angry or hateful, but it hurt my heart, really hurt. I took the risk of stealing meat from the boss and him to eat, why did he betray the boss and me? The boss took this matter alone in order to save me. Before the boss died, he left me with only a smile, and the same was true of the master before he died. I have heard the old people say that after death, people have to walk a long road of yin and yang, where it is as cold as winter, and the master and the boss are all alone, if I walk with them, will it not be so cold? Every time I think of this, my heart will still be like a needle prick. ”

Lu Qigui was silent and pushed the bowl in front of Daochan, and Daochan poured Lu Qigui full. Lu Qigui said, "Come, boy, have a bowl with the old man." ”

Daozen smiled slightly, poured himself a bowl for himself, and the two touched it and drank it all. The phoenix kite had already washed the dishes and chopsticks, leaning against the wall of the firewood room, with tears in her eyes.

"You always drink too much, be careful of being discovered by the little kite, and you will inevitably be nagged. "Daozen joked about the ruler rule.

Lu Qigui laughed: "My son and daughter-in-law are long gone, and my old man can be regarded as a white-haired person sending a black-haired person." There is only such a granddaughter. Now that I'm in my prime, if I really don't get nagged by the little kite, I'll be lonely. ”

"It turns out that you have always had a preference, and it seems that I will scold you more in the future. Daozen smiled.

"You're a hen clucking on the slope. ”

"What's that saying?"

"Fuck off. Lu Qigui glanced at Dao Zen.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Since you've always said that, I'm not going to force it anymore. ”

"Boy, you know I'm not saying this to excuse myself. It is really not difficult for the old man to make a few secret weapons. Lu Qigui was slightly drunk.

Dao Chan smiled: "You have seen the outside world, since you can drink with me, and it is all from the bottom of your heart, how can I not know the hearts of good people." However, you can't convince me, and I can't convince you. Let's talk to the duck. So that's the end of it. ”

"Do you really not think about it anymore?"

Daozen shook his head.

"It seems that the old man is really old. ”

Huang Kite walked out of the firewood room, crossed his hands on his hips, and glared at Dao Chan and Lu Qigui: "How can I say a smell of alcohol, it turns out that you two are secretly drinking!"

Lu Qigui smiled: "Girl, don't be angry, it's this kid who is angry about what he said, let me accompany him to drink to eliminate my sorrows." ”

Dao Chan scratched his head: "What the old man said is that I have to pull his old man to drink." ”

Lu Qigui was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so happy today, you didn't push it on the old man." ”

"This has made you scold all day long, we are ashamed, let me come today. Daochan replied in a low voice, but did not forget to greet the phoenix kite with a smile.

Lu Qigui took another sip of wine: "Count your kid with a conscience." ”

"Grandpa, it was said that the Thirteenth pulled you to drink, but now you are not the only one drinking?"

Daochan looked at Lu Qigui: "I can't blame me today." ”

Lu Qigui sighed and stopped talking. The Taoist phoenix kite began to count and fall the Lu ruler gauge.

Dao Chan smiled from ear to ear, he looked up at a star outside the Milky Way, that star hung alone in the night sky, Dao Chan said softly: "Boss, we are doing well now, what about you over there? ”
