85, Lonely Shadow Self-Esteem (Finish)
On Luoxia Mountain, in the Liuxiang Pavilion, three silver-haired old men in plain clothes leisurely enjoy the seclusion and ethereal between the mountains and rivers, the god operator sits on the cool stone pier, tastes the group pet tea boiled with mountain spring water, Helian Zhong leans on the pavilion pillar, gulps down the excellent wine secretly stored in the remnant inn, and the streamer master who has traveled all over the world smiled and said: "This mountain and this scene, this spring and this tea, win the hearts of the people, should fight tea, and have a tea war." β
"Old immortal, we don't want to fight, and we can't afford to fight anymore. β
"Old boy, there should be three sets of tea fighting utensils in your Qingfeng Valley Baibao Grid, all of which are purchased by me, an old immortal, who traveled all over the mountains and rivers, traveled all over the large and small cities, and spent a high price to buy, all of which are unique and unique in the world. β
"Who doesn't know your thoughts, isn't it just that I dislike my rough branches and leaves, and I don't know the set of things that are dignitaries and dignitaries, it's too worldly and hypocritical for me, if you want to play with God, he is the famous Lord Zuosi. β
Which pot does not open the pot.
"Taste the tea well, who is to provoke whom, why did you start counting my secrets again. Besides, it is true that people who do not die are elegant people, we have to admit this. β
"Yaren, no skin, no face, no heart and no lungs, there are as many Yaren in this world as there are ants, and he can't even rank in it. β
"Laughing at the frequent changes in the world, the idle clouds and wild cranes have a leisurely heart. β
"Good mood. β
"The fairy is drunk and lying in the pavilion, and the flowers are fragrant all night. β
"Good poetry. β
"I said streamer, don't fight tea, just wander around today, and feel at ease. β
Hahaha.......
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of light footsteps from a distance, it was a master, it was a master.......
The old man slowly revealed his true face from the staircase.
It's an old friend, this Helian Zhong buried himself and said: "You old slippery head, the rivers and lakes are too peaceful, you came out." β
"Smelled the aroma of wine, smelled the fragrance of tea, flower wine and tea are the stunners of the universe, how can such a wonderful meeting be without my old slippery head?"
"Radiant spirits, nesting in the snow cliff and concentrating on forging artifacts is the best way to nourish the spirit. β
"The rivers and lakes are peaceful. β
"It's too peaceful for the world. β
Then the life of this people is safe. β
"By the way, in two days, the Desireless Zen Master of Anguo Temple will do a Dharma meeting, and he will teach the people who are destined to be good in the world after studying abroad, and I will have to disguise myself to listen to it. β
"When did this old man come back?"
"Ten days ago?"
"Ten days?"
"Isn't it the day of the great war between good and evil. β
"It's also a fun-loving one. β
"The Zen master has the world in his heart, there is no leisure, only kindness. β
"Is that going? or not going?"
"Of course I want to go, this desireless Zen master is famous all over the world, he is a monk who has attained the Tao, not only cultivates to a high level, but also has no rival in martial arts, and everyone in the world puts him in his heart, and never dares to take it out and talk about it, this is respect. Besides, my father-in-law Xixian is now a broken family, a lonely one, I will go wherever you go?"
"What about the old boy?"
"Ping'er has married Ziying, this Jue'er is also married to Ouyang Yu, the two couples are happy, I am an idle old man, I like to run wherever it is lively. β
"Where's the old slippery head?"
"There are sharp weapons in the world, and the old man is tired to death, so the old man should also go out for a walk, open his eyes, and soothe and soothe his muscles. β
"What about the old immortals?"
As for what kind of utensils to make, how big and what shapes of vessels, the main thing is how big my heart is, how much ink is in my stomach, and how much ink is in my stomach? Go, of course, no matter how full the container is, I have to go, and I have to accept new things to stimulate myself. β
Hahaha.......
ββ
Five years later.
Three carriages were loaded with herbs, but the sudden heavy rain trapped people on the way, and the right side of the last carriage fell into a deep water pit, and covered the herbs with a waterproof cloth, and the groom led the horse in front, and four people pushed behind the cart, including a woman, After a while, the cart was pushed up, but the woman behind was lying in the mud puddle, and when she was helped up, she was covered with muddy water, and her face was full of mud spots, and she gently brushed the muddy water and mud spots on her face with her sleeve.
"Everybody take a break. β
"Good. β
The woman took out half of the steamed bun from the collar and chewed it slowly, but .......
"Let's go. β
Before I swallowed the next bite, I was about to set off, maybe it was my own chronic son, and this was a character that couldn't be changed for a while.
I had to swallow the rest of the steamed buns in one gulp, and chewed the steamed buns in my mouth while pushing the carriage.
ββ
Pharmacy backyard, There are those who dry herbs under the scorching sun, those who use iron medicine to grind herbs, those who use a guillotine knife to cut herbs, and those who separate different herbs, and the woman is also arranged in it, but she is at the front desk, she is weighing the spices with a sticker, wrapping the herbs with mulberry paper, and then tying the medicine bag with spider silk thread, and the master is watching and smelling on the sidelines, and passing the prescription to the woman, so the affairs of the assembly line are what the woman has to do every day, saving people is the happiest, most satisfying and happiest thing for the rest of her life, and when it comes to lunchtime, the brothers and sisters who have been tired for a long time will snatch the dishes on the plate like crazy, and the woman will get nothingγ
"Qingqing, let's have dinner with Master. β
Master had his wife take care of the daily life and food, and they ate alone in the inner room, with only the brothers and sisters eating together in the courtyard.
"After working for a long time, the master still hurried to eat, he ate too much in the morning, and he was not very hungry at the moment. β
"You, if you're hungry, you can't say you're hungry, and Master can't do anything about you, but don't get tired, otherwise your mother will have no one to take care of. β
"Thank you, Master. β
"There are a few packets of medicine on the left side of the desk, take them home at night and use them for your mother to use first, and then configure them in ten days. β
Qingqing put down the line in his hand, went over and saluted: "After so many years, thanks to Master's great help, my mother can live to this day, Qingqing is grateful in my heart, but Master, is my mother still saved?"
"She has an old disease, if it weren't for the five years of medicinal diet and recuperation, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to last half a year, and now this kind of lifespan is already a miracle, you, in the next few days, be ready for the future. β
"The disciple understands. β
"The common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, don't blame yourself too much, besides, you have done your best. β
"Qingqing knows. β
In the evening, because the mother wanted to take medicine and told the master in advance to go home, at the door of the house, the mother sat on the small stone pier in front of the door, the sunset reflected her face, pale and bloodless, haggard and faceless, when she saw her daughter coming, she held up her heavy body and approached, and said, "Qingqing, the food is in the pot, mother will go and give you heat." β
"Fu'er, have they all eaten?"
"Eat. β
"What story does your mother tell them today?"
"Telling the story of the Analects, Fu'er doesn't like it very much, but likes to listen to the heroic deeds in the Three Kingdoms. β
"She's making trouble again. β
"It's sticky, a tendon. β
"The queen mother loves her child the most, and in the end it is the mother who compromises. β
"It took three stories to stop shouting. β
When she entered the house, her mother was going to have a hot meal.
"Mother doesn't have to start a fire, it's hot, and it's best to eat it warm. β
Mother brings the meal to the table.
"Did they all sleep?"
"Just fell asleep. β
"Mother, this is Master's newly configured medicinal herbs, and when it will be cleared and boiled, Mother must drink it. β
"Good, good. β
"Mother, the child has consulted with you about something. β
"As it happens, Mother also has something important to discuss with you. β
Mother said first. β
Although these children grew up in this poor and remote place, and their parents have left one after another, they all have a motivated heart and love to read, and the few existing books can't satisfy the desire in their hearts at all, Fu'er nagging all day long to think about the Three Kingdoms, to read historical records, and Xiaowei likes music and rhythm, and Xiaojing loves calligraphy, and ...... In short, these items have to be bought, everything can be delayed, and the children's future cannot be delayed, so they will go to the market tomorrow to buy. β
"The children are very smart and studious, they are all good jade, they need to polish and will be able to achieve, the mother can rest assured, the children listen to the mother, these children are also lucky, the mother has knowledge, there is cultivation, educating them, it is a blessing in their life. β
"Since you have no opinion, then it's decided. β
"Hmm. β
Picking up Niangniang from Anguo Temple that day, she repeatedly asked about Langji's whereabouts, and then euphemistically explained that the Holy Lord had assigned him to work elsewhere, and one month passed like this, and two months passed like this...... , As time passes, the mother's feeling is getting more and more wrong, after all, it is the mother and son who are connected, and Lingji can only tell the truth, the son is gone, and it is an unspeakable cruelty to live alone with white hair, and several times she has been rescued from looking for death and life, in order to give her mother hope to live, this is what Fu'er, Xiaowei them, the new life gave the mother the hope of living, did not educate her son, this is the regret of the mother's life, now this mother and son heart is all reflected in the child, Hanxiang Pavilion fell into the old disease, often routinely persuade to pay attention to the body, but this love no one can stop it....... There is another thing that has been hidden from his mother, because he is unwilling to let his mother know his past, so he uses the surname of the Wu clan, called Wu Qingqing, to completely separate from the past.
"Hey, don't you have something to talk about?"
"Yes. Tell my mother that I was happy that Master had given me a long term salary again. β
"Your master is our great benefactor, you have to learn the craft from him, and you have to do things for him, you can't be ashamed of this salary, you know?"
"Mother said very much. β
"And remember to bring some fruit for the children tomorrow. β
"Hmm. β
The days went on as usual, Qingqing still made breakfast early, boiled the decoction, woke up the mother and children to use it and went to work again.
But at noon, someone in the village hurriedly ran into the medicine hall and hurriedly shouted: "Qingqing, Qingqing......." β
"Brother Chen...... What's wrong?"
"Hurry home, your mother, your mother doesn't seem to be able to do it. β
It's okay to go out this morning, why did you suddenly .......
Qingqing hurriedly put down the prescription in his hand and asked urgently, "What's wrong with my mother?"
"When I was telling a story to the children, she suddenly fainted, and your aunt helped her to the bed, and you hurried home to see. β
"Thank you, Brother Chen. β
"Qingqing, Master will go with you. β
"Hmm. β
After the master took the pulse, he shook his head lightly, and said with a heavy face: "Qingqing, it's not good, it's really not good." β
"Qingqing, I'll give your mother a few stitches now, if she has anything to say when she comes to her senses, hurry up, otherwise she will soon be out of breath. β
Qingqing's face was full of tears and he was already speechless, so he responded softly: "Hmm." β
Half a moment later, the old lady woke up, and she kept muttering: "Gi'er, Gi'er......." β
Holding his mother's cold and withered right hand, he couldn't cry and said, "Mother, mother, Qingqing is here, here." β
"Start..... Come. β
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he hugged his mother, hugged her, and said, "The children have bought the books and the piano and put them in the school, and tomorrow the mother will be able to teach them to raise them." β
"Child, it's been a few years, and I've suffered you. β
"The child felt that it was sufficient. β
"You have done so much for Qi'er, it is a blessing for him and a blessing for his mother, but it is still your mother who drags you down. β
"I love Langji, Langji loves me, we are husband and wife, it is reasonable for a daughter-in-law to take care of her mother-in-law, does the mother let the child be an unfilial person?
"You're dead for five years, you're still young, you should find a man who loves you to marry and live a normal life. β
Qingqing sobbed and said: "Qingqing is blessed, with such a loving mother, and a husband who loves Qingqing very much, Qingqing is really satisfied and happy." β
"Isn't your master's son very fond of you?"
"Mother doesn't know that Qingqing has been taken care of by her aunt since she was a child, she hates my father, and when she was a child, she let Qingqing drink a dose of potion, and since then Qingqing has not been able to have children in this life. β
Those two lines of tears are telling the most heartfelt pain in Qingqing's heart.
She bit her lip and looked vicious, saying, "Heaven is so unfair." β
Qingqing loves him and his mother, in the past five years, it is really Qingqing's happiest day, and Qingqing will remember it for the rest of his life. β
"No, no, my mother can't die, my mother has to find you a man, let her take care of you, protect you, and leave you alone, my mother is not at ease, I am not at ease. β
As he spoke, he had to get up, he had to take the medicine, and he had to drink the medicine.
"The medicine is already cold, wait for the child to help you get hot. β
"No, right now. β
"Mother, mother, I listen to you, I'll go for it, I'll go for it, I'll definitely find a man who loves Qingqing to marry, Master, Master, he will also help. β
"Yes, he's a warm-hearted man. β
"A few days ago, Master said that there was a merchant surnamed Di in the next village, and his son had been interested in Qingqing for a long time, and he wanted Master to make peace with Mingming, what does Mother think?"
"Okay, well, but if you get married, don't forget to take care of these children, so that they must go to school and become a productive person when they grow up. β
"Good, good, everything depends on Mother. β
"Also, forget your mother, forget your child, and live your life, okay?"
"Hmm. β
"Qingqing, look ....... β
Qingqing followed the direction of her mother's fingers, there were two tablets, it turned out that her mother had carved the tablets for herself and her child, and they had been hidden, maybe there was a premonition of death, and today my mother actually put them on the cabinet at the end of the bed.
"Mother, what do you see?"
"Gi'er...... , He is in the Xuanlou, he is studying under the osmanthus tree, he is asleep, I am going to put on his clothes, you see, you see, his father is also here, and patted his head and said that Qi'er has made great progress in learning recently, Qingqing, look at it, look at ....... β
"Mother, mother, mother....... β
people, still left, the master and the villagers helped to bury the mother, and he kept filial piety for Langji for three years, and Langji also had to keep filial piety for three years.
The night is already very deep, everyone is resting, Lingji in the mother carved Lang Ji tablet and made some fine carvings, and put the tablet on the table, when the mother is there, dare not put it on the case, afraid that she will be sad, she is gone now, their mother and son can be put together.
Wan Lai is silent, the world is colorless, it seems that there is only one Lingji left in this world, she has suppressed the pain, pain and suffering for five years can finally vent out, she sat on the edge of the bed, holding Langji's tablet, and said: "Langji, when you left, in order to let me live, entrusted my mother to me, but now that my mother is gone, she entrusts the children to me again, live, live, yes, I should live strongly." β
"In the past five years, I have been thinking about you every night, drawing you, writing about you, I am afraid, afraid that I will forget you one day, but now I realize that I can't forget you at all. β
Lingji took out the pear hairpin that had been preserved for a long time and said: "When I was poor, I almost became this hairpin in order to treat my mother's illness, but I didn't expect that this was the only thought you left me, the only sustenance. β
"The most regrettable thing is that the last letter you wrote for me, and the portrait was found by my mother and I don't know where it was hidden? I searched for a long time but I didn't find it, I knew that my mother loved me, so she hid it, or my mother burned them a long time ago, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter, I memorized every word you said in the letter, and I firmly remembered it. β
"Langji, I...... What should I do?"
"In this empty world, it seems that Lingji is the only one left, Lingji really doesn't want to stay here, Lingji wants to go to you, to find her mother. β
The words in Langji's letter have been ringing in my ears for several years: "Alive, for the sake of the Witch King and Concubine Lan, for your sister Wu Xixi, for all the innocent people who died in the Water Country, and for the sake of Murong Hao whom you killed with your own hands, and for me, for me and Rongquan, you must live, live well, and ......." β
"It's a hundred times since people die, and people all over the world think it's a kind of relief and relief, but the real liberation is to use the rest of your life to pay for all the mistakes you have made. β
The children are all placed in Master's place, and tonight belongs to Lingji's night, she can cry, she can cry loudly.......
The next day, the neighbor's aunt came to the humble house, but found that the house was empty, there was no one, and it was cleaned everywhere as usual, and the kind and poor girl went to work .......
