Chapter 237: Another Portrait

After speaking, he asked Liu Wang and Liu Cai to help the owner of the village to rest, and ordered the kitchen to stew a bowl of ginseng soup immediately, and called him when the stew was ready, and he sent it to the owner. After the arrangement, Uncle Zhang picked up Anya and walked to the backyard, Mu Xue was worried about Anya, and at the same time there were many questions that could not be solved, so he walked to the backyard with Uncle Zhang, and Wu Jin also followed.

When he arrived in the backyard, Uncle Zhang put Anya on the bed and slept well, and covered Anya with a quilt, Mu Xue saw that Anya's face was still stained with tears, and her heart was also heartbroken, so she asked Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, what is going on? Why did Anya force him to ask why he didn't die when he saw Uncle Liu?"

Uncle Zhang sighed and said: "This matter has to start from fifteen years ago, fifteen years ago, the owner of the village found out that his wife was pregnant, and he was very happy, and he took care of his wife meticulously. The owner of the village also traveled the world in the early years, like to make friends, those friends heard about this, all came to congratulate the owner, the owner of the village was happy in his heart, all the friends who came, had to put on a feast to invite them, so until the wife was pregnant in October, about to give birth. On that day, Du Zhengben and Jia Zhengyi brought seven or eight friends to the village and said to the owner: Mrs. Liu is about to give birth, and in the future, Senior Brother Liu will have to take care of both the confinement and the children, and their senior brothers will definitely not be able to get together for a long time. The owner of the village thought about it, so he set up a banquet and drank it with everyone, but he knew that the wine was three rounds, and one of them was named Fu Yanbin, who suddenly proposed to borrow the Tiangang Five Elements Sutra to read it. ”

At this time, Wu Jin asked, "What kind of scripture is the Tiangang Five Elements Sutra?"

Zhang Bo said: "This is a scripture about the formation, using the five elements of yin and yang to attract the power of heaven and earth for their own use, the outside can resist millions of heavenly soldiers, and the inside can trap the supreme gods, it is a supreme book." ”

"This scripture is so powerful!" Wu Jin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice after listening to it.

Uncle Zhang nodded, and then said: "The man wants to borrow the scriptures to read, the owner of the village naturally did not agree, the man said that this book should be able to live in it, to compete with the owner, everyone discouraged Fu Yanbin, but that Fu Yanbin is unreasonable, he has to compete with the owner, not to make a big noise, disturbing the peace of the villa, the owner of the village is helpless, so he has to agree with him to the point, the two of them went to the courtyard to compete, that Fu Yanbin is also born in Jingmingdao, and the owner is a brother, and a Taoist line has also entered the Shangqing realm. The two fought inseparably in the courtyard, attracting all the servants in the village to watch, Mrs. rested in the backyard, only Anya was by her side, the owner and that Fu Yanbin fought for three hours, the owner of the village won narrowly, the owner returned to the holding hall, and heard Anya's scream, the owner was shocked, ran to the backyard, entered the house, Mrs. dystocia hemorrhage, saw the owner of the house and choked, Mrs. died in Anya's arms, Anya was stimulated, and blamed the owner for only caring about the competition, no one took care of the lady to cause dystocia, and asked the owner loudly: You are not deadYour sister is dead, you're not dead, your sister is dead. Then Anya went crazy, and from then on, whenever she met the owner Anya, she would go crazy and ask why the owner didn't die.

After hearing this, Mu Xue and Wu Jin also felt a burst of sadness and grief in their hearts, but they didn't expect Anya to have such a deep resentment against her sister that she went crazy. Wu Jin asked again, "What about later?"

Later, the gang stayed in the village and left, and Najia Zhengyi sent a box of sandalwood, saying that it was used to calm the nerves, and asked the owner of the village to mourn and change. The owner of the village suffered such a blow, and felt that he had harmed his wife by competition, and he blamed himself and was disheartened, so he dismissed the house slaves, leaving only the old slave to take care of Anya, and locked himself in the village for ten years, never out of the village, and the owner of the village wanted to commit suicide many times in the first two years. Uncle Zhang said sadly.

After listening to this, Wu Jinmuxue was shocked in her heart, but she couldn't express it, so she had to stand in place in a daze, looking at the ground. After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he wiped his eyes with his hands, ignored the two, and walked towards the front yard to take care of the owner.

Anya slept until dawn, then woke up slowly, after waking up, Anya had forgotten what happened last night, and came to play with Mu Xue alive, Mu Xue felt that Anya was also a poor person, so she forced a smile to play with her, and did not dare to say a word about what happened.

Mu Xue and Wu Jin went to the front yard to inquire about Liu Huaiyong's situation as soon as they had the opportunity, but Liu Huaiyong locked himself up again, and only let Uncle Zhang go in alone, Uncle Zhang also said to Mu Xue and Wu Jin that the owner of the village was just weak, and there was no big problem, and it would be good to rest for a few days, Mu Xue and Wu Jin had no choice but to wait quietly.

Three days later, Mu Xue and Wu Jin were playing with Anya in the backyard, Zhang Bolai called Wu Jin and Mu Xue, saying that Zhuang wanted to see the two of them, and Wu Jin and Mu Xue followed Zhang Bo.

Uncle Zhang took the two of them but did not go to the holding hall, but walked to an ancestral hall, Wu Jin and Mu Xue were very surprised! At this time, Uncle Zhang said to Wu Jin and Mu Xue: "The owner of the village is inside, you can go in." With that, he walked away.

This ancestral hall is not big, and Liu Huaiyong has either locked himself in the house or locked himself in the ancestral hall during this time, and no one knows what he is doing in it. Today, he asked Wu Jin and Mu Xue to go in, and it seems that what happened in the past few days has broken his quiet life.

Wu Jin stepped forward and gently pushed the door open, and the door creaked, as if it was an old door, and the door seemed to be full of distant past

Wu Jin and Mu Xue walked in, closed the door again, and saw Liu Huaiyong sitting on a futon, Liu Huaiyong was enshrined in front of the incense, three incense sticks had been burned out, it seems that Liu Huaiyong had been sitting in it for a long time, and there was a portrait on the incense, the portrait was the founder of Taoism, Daozun Tianshi.

When Liu Huaiyong saw the two of them coming in, he didn't look back, and said, "Sit down." ”

Wu Jin and Mu Xue sat down on the futon behind them as they said. Liu Huaiyong didn't speak, Wu Jin and Mu Xue didn't dare to speak, so the three of them sat in silence for a long time.

Suddenly, Liu Huaiyong spoke: "Why do people live?"

Wu Jin and Mu Xue saw that Liu Huaiyong suddenly spoke, and it was such a strange question, they were also stunned at the time, they didn't answer, and they didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Liu Huaiyong asked again: "Do you know?

Wu Jin glanced at Mu Xue, raised his head and said, "The younger generation is not deeply involved in the world, and I have never thought of such an esoteric question, and I don't know how to answer it." Mu Xue also said, "I don't know either." ”

Liu Huaiyong closed his eyes slightly and said, " After the death of An Ran, I dismissed the servants and locked myself up, and no one took care of the flowers and plants in the yard, and there was a bonsai tree in the yard, which was exposed to the scorching sun every day, and no one watered it, and it died in a few days, and I thought it was dead and could not live again, but one day, I found that his roots sent out two green leaves, and I was very angry at the time, so I said to it: You are already dead, why do you have to send out two green leaves, what can you do if you send out green leaves, no one will water you, you are not going to die. Then I stared at the bonsai, not leaving an inch, I didn't water it, I just wanted to watch the sun roast it to death, and sure enough, the sun of the two days dried the new shoots to death, and I was so happy to see this scene! I felt that it should be damned! It shouldn't send out shoots, and it should not do those useless struggles!"

Liu Huaiyong said in the end, his emotions were a little uncontrollable, and he said with a hint of madness. After a moment of silence, Liu Huaiyong's mood sank again, and he continued with a little puzzlement: "That bonsai is baked by the scorching sun every day, and there is no rain and dew to quench his thirst, and life is endless pain, why does he still live? Can you tell me why he still lives?"

Wu Jin and Mu Xue glanced at each other again, and thought in their hearts that Mu Anran's death was too big a blow to Liu Huaiyong, and this Liu Huaiyong looked at the bonsai every inch just to watch the sun burn it to death.
