Chapter 38: Zhou Dong Three (Part 2)
A gloomy world that renders an atmosphere of horror. The whining cold wind, whistling in the dust, rested on the threshold of the freshly cleaned house.
Zhou Tong got up to take care of his clothes, and by the way, put the furniture placed in front of the bed in his comfortable position.
In the distant world, how many people enjoy a happy and beautiful life, and how many people have a painful unconscious sense.
Only those who are born lonely know the obligation to bear life, because they are destined to experience too many unknown frustrations and bitter regrets!
Zhou Tong finished cleaning the room and went out for a walk by the way.
Lin Xi'er happened to be polishing a stone, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Zhou Tong saw Lin Xi'er grinding stones while occasionally taking a break to observe the flower garden next to him.
When Zhou Tong saw Lin Xi'er, he felt that he couldn't avoid it, and when he lowered his head and didn't look up, he walked over to say hello and show his kindness.
Lin Xi'er heard Zhou Dong shouting at herself, and looked back at Zhou Dong.
chuckled and said: Lin Xi'er's "er" is not pronounced, my name is Lin Xi.
Zhou Tong was prejudiced against the identity of a woman, and he had heard about the things around him since he was a child, and he had just learned a lot of knowledge from the Heavenly Court Monk Certification Office.
For female creatures, people always unconsciously think of the lack of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the different ideas and concepts of Gege.
"I saw you write your name from the mutual introduction the day before yesterday, but I don't know the doorway in the name, I'm sorry. ”
Zhou Tong said apologetically, his eyes turned to the sky, and he deliberately ignored the existence on the other side.
Lin Xi'er seemed to be accustomed to this attitude, and explained to herself: There is no "surname", Lin Xi'er's "son", pronunciation. In the past, my name was Xi'er, and some people called me Zi Xi'er, when I was still young.
Zhou Tong said strangely: What does "Zi" mean? Why do you add "Zi"?
Zhou Tong's eyes finally stopped looking at the sky, and Zhou Tong, who aroused his curiosity, asked in confusion.
Lin Xi'er was also puzzled by Zhou Dong's ignorance, how could she not know anything.
But Lin Xi'er still explained: "Zi" is the honorific title that others gave me when I was a child.
Zhou Tong Cholera said: I only knew that there were so many Taos in the original name, and I didn't think there was any difference when I was called "Zhou Dong" before.
Zhou Tong continued: I remember that I used to always distinguish me from other people, and my name was called some "digital nickname" prepared in advance. Because I seem to be better than everyone else, I want to be like everyone else, I never felt any different from others.
Zhou Tong said lightly, but now he may have understood the high and low, and his tone of voice had a hint of nostalgia.
- Time turns endlessly, and the picture turns to Juan Ju's side.
Juan Ju is taking care of the house, and his boring personality since he was a child has made him barely survive to the current era.
The careful Juanju carefully examines the arrangement of the objects, and every time at this time, he feels that the empty heart is focused on the unique, and does something to represent his living existence.
The most interesting thing is that Juan Ju is extremely serious and hardworking, because he feels that he will lose the memory of death by immersing himself in his work.
In the impression of his work, Hu Anju gradually seems to be contending with his own self at work, allowing himself to find some meaning, or coincide with meaningless meaning, and ignore the measures to live until tomorrow.
Hope always sprouts at the beginning, and as you grow, you know that it is difficult and unlikely to succeed. If you know that plants are born to sprout and bear fruit, who doesn't persevere?
Juan Ju is persistent, and Ju Anju firmly believes that as long as he is alive, he is destined to grow. The easiest way to succeed is to succeed without having to work and struggle.
And Ju Anju still thought: work is just a side hustle to live.
As for what the future holds? But the contemplator of the Taoist temple may have grown up many years ahead of Juanju.
- Lin Youqing is a well-known local thinker, always looking for women, untouchables, customs, ways to live forever, and ways to prolong the gains and losses of money.
In terms of exploring women's objects, Lin Xi'er was found. In terms of exploring the untouchables, test the untouchables' reactions to things. In the search for customs, he understands the dirty attitude of the untouchables towards unearned gains.
Lin Youqing didn't know whether she wanted to live or not, and every time she tossed and turned, she would ask herself, "What's there"? The extreme negative attitude of not being able to sleep could not get an answer, and every time it was based on what she had done, and she didn't think about it.
I want to live and I don't know what the existence of a monk is, and I often hear about it but it doesn't work.
Lin Youqing had squandered money in the civilian world for a period of time before, because he was afraid of the punishment of the monks, he had been buried in his heart for the natural idea of his death, and then he no longer had the idea of forcing him to prolong his life, so that he felt that thought was life, and eternal life was a living monk.
Lin Youqing's thoughts summed up the past, flicked Yuanleng's head, and left a little bit of thoughts on the many goods he once had, which was the only thing Lin Youqing cared about.
Lin Youqing walked ahead of some older people, and the happiness she got seemed to be the life that Juan Ju wanted but didn't want very much.
Perhaps there are other things that the two of them can't get, such as the identity of the monk and "that trust", the trust and recognition of heaven and earth and the world.
- Time is strange and fluttering. So much so that many years have passed, and they have not caught up with the memory of time.
Zhou Dong, who has been here for more than three months, often remembers what is the difference between being alive?
Lin Xi'er, who was lonely, walked on the road, and was a little unpleasant by the mundane things here. Walking quietly and twisting his body, he didn't pay attention to it, and under the back of the deep dark night, Zhou Dong's strange peep light was hidden.
If you have to practice martial arts during the day, if you don't even have the ability of your body, where will you get the capital to perform the meaning of life and the position that you need to work? After all, if you are good at martial arts, you basically don't have to worry about the usefulness of your work wherever you are.
Lin Xi'er practiced martial arts diligently and polished her sleek and heavy strength, and she just relaxed and played at night.
Zhou Tong quietly accompanied the night in a daze, and Lin Xi'er was on the stone steps not far away, sitting in a daze.
I don't know what they're thinking, but they're all relieving their mood and sorting out their lives.
Zhou Tong interrupted his thoughts, decisively abandoned the shackles of thought, and walked straight to Lin Xi'er's side.
Lin Xi'er looked up in surprise and said, "You seem to be looking for me?"
Zhou Tong: No.
Zhou Tong replied a little stiffly, and then continued to stand next to Lin Xi'er, without speaking, silently.
Lin Xi'er was a little angry, and got up to leave by herself. Before leaving, he said: "A girl's biggest concern is dignity, you remember", I don't want to worry too much about you here, it's not worth it!
Zhou Tong heard Lin Xi'er say this, and said inexplicably: I just felt a little lonely, so I came to look for you. Because of your identity, it's impossible to communicate with you. You know, I don't want to get too hung up on girls.
Lin Xi'er: "Hehe. ”
Lin Xi'er left with a sneer.
"Inexplicable," Lin Xi'er immediately dropped this sentence and left, without looking back.
From then on, every time Zhou Dong was tired from work, he saw Lin Xi'er in the yard when he rested, so he ran to Lin Xi'er in a daze.
It's just that Zhou Tong hid it even deeper, and he never took the initiative to come out "without knowing what to say".
Time has passed, and more and more time has given Zhou Tong the opportunity to consider confessing to Lin Xi'er.
- Time continues to pass, and the life world that goes back and forth intermittently gives Zhou Dong, Lin Xier, and infinite opportunities.
Zhou Dong, who often exercises martial arts, is extremely strong.
Because of his nameless closeness to Lin Xi'er, I can't find the words to describe the feelings in it.
The mental torture and his own inner torment led Zhou Tong to escape the punishment of life with crazy continuous work like Hu Anju.
Zhou Dong, who often helps the scholars, has saved a lot of money. In Zhou Tong's own words: It's enough to buy "Lin Qing Taoist Temple", why do you go to work to escape?
Zhou Tong was also forced to have no choice, and Zhou Tong, who was suffering all the time, finally took "that step".
After all, the temptation of that step came to naught, and the shackles in his heart came to naught, and Zhou Tong also lost the happiness given by the "Innate Dao" to ignorance in this incident.
"It happened on a shopping experience". I have experienced all kinds of foreign feelings brought by money, and the people around me will always feel the safety of life in the environment.
and Zhou Dong's heart disturbed by nameless feelings, which slowly affected Zhou Dong's judgment on the development of things and feelings among the commoners.
Zhou Tong, who consciously gained confidence in his views on things, has begun to pay attention to the warning of "innate thoughts" and is careless.
Since he was a child, he has never experienced things, and he can feel that "some things and emotions" do not exist, and this time he is biased towards the "securityism" of civilians, and he lacks a sense of crisis, and that "innate judgment of crisis reaction".
Zhou Tong first went to Lin Xi'er to show his voice, and said magnificently: I have been lonely for a long time, and I want to find someone to accompany me. I hope you promise that I can feed you and do my best, work and be on top of the world. Try your best to climb up and see the scenery at the top of the world and take you with you.
Lin Xi'er was confused by what she said, and said to herself: I don't need it, but I'm curious about how much a person's martial arts can fly through the sky and walk the wall.
Lin Xi'er glanced at Zhou Tong, and continued with a slight sense of scrutiny: If you can take me to meet this magical body, or if you can do this incredible, I will agree to accompany you for a while.
Lin Xi'er pondered for a while, pondered and weighed carefully, and didn't want to perfunctory Zhou Dong, so he said: Maybe it will be a long time, after all, I am not weak, I have money and want to go there and there, and the things I like cannot be unique.
After Zhou Tong got the news, he heard a positive reply. I immediately decided to practice hard, and I never thought that one day I would be so motivated.
Zhou Tong, who worked hard to improve, lost the veil of prudence and emptiness for the first time. What awaits him is an even greater storm, the truth of the mind and his identity reflected in the cruelty of others.
- This is the end of the story.
