Chapter 64: Parting in the Drizzle
It was a very quiet night, Grandma Ling Qing led Ling Ruyue to my room to sleep, Yang Sheng's snoring was still continuous, I was in Master's room, and once again looked at Master and Huijue speechless. (You can find this site)
Silence seems to be a contagious disease, and when one person is deliberately silent, other people will also have this feeling of tiredness and speechlessness.
The light of the oil lamp, dim and warm, once I and Master, and occasionally Grandpa Huijue, used to guard the oil lamp through one night after another, sometimes arguing, sometimes, sometimes laughing, in short, it was the memories of the bamboo forest building, a peaceful time.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, Sanwa'er, the next time we meet, you'll grow into a young man, maybe I also had an apprentice at that time, you have to be kind to him, don't be like me and your master, quarrel as soon as we meet." The first to break the silence was Grandpa Huijue, his eyes were very light, maybe the people in Buddhism saw parting more freely.
Master sighed, touched my head, and said, "Sanwa'er, grow up quickly." ”
Why do I think this sentence is so familiar? After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Hu Xueman had told me.
Why is it that all the people want me to grow up all of a sudden?
"Master, do you want me to join some department when I grow up and be like you, and then serve the country?" That's all I can understand.
"No, the future is your freedom, Master will not restrain you, the little bird will always fly alone." Master stared out the window in the distance and said with some heaviness.
I felt uneasy in my heart, but there was nothing wrong with Master's words, and I followed his gaze.
Outside the window, a cold moon.
The next day, the light rain was dense and rustling on the bamboo leaves.
Ling Ruyue was lying on my back, and there were still tears on her face, just because she was arguing with Grandma Ling Qing in the morning, saying that she wanted to stay for another day, but Grandma Ling Qing refused without hesitation.
The little girl was always squeamish, and in the face of this rejection, she couldn't help but cry, and it wasn't until I coaxed her and said that she would carry her down the mountain, and she barely calmed down.
Yang Sheng walked behind me and Ling Ruyue, the mountain road was slippery, he always couldn't help but stumble, causing the old man Huijue to laugh behind without any image, and he was also in the Buddhists, making fun of others, he always grabbed the first.
But Yang Sheng is really good, since he learned the guidance method, he always practices on time every day, I think it is much better than me, who was forced by the master and tried to be lazy.
Huijue, Grandma Ling Qing, Master walked behind Yang Sheng, although they kept making fun of Yang Sheng along the way, I could feel some heavy meaning, was it also to parting sadly?
But they weren't always together.
After going down the mountain, I want to let Ling Ruyue come down, Ling Ruyue refuses, she has to rely on my back, she said: "Third brother, you carry me for a while, there are no children in the village to play with me, and no brother carries me?" ”
My heart softened, and I still didn't put Ling Ruyue down after all, but I asked, "Why?" Is it because you're so annoying? ”
"I don't hate it, they all respect me, but they are afraid of me, I don't think it's really close." It's rare for Ling Ruyue, this girl, not to worry about me, and answer me seriously.
"Why are you afraid?" I asked Ling Ruyue.
But this little girl was silent, no matter if she didn't like to talk, I wouldn't ask.
In the distance, I saw a person standing at the entrance of the village, who was it if it wasn't crispy meat?
As soon as the crispy meat saw us, he quickly ran over, the kid's injury was not yet healed, one hand was hanging, and as soon as he ran, the fat of his whole body was trembling.
"Fat brother." Ling Ruyue called sweetly.
Crispy Meat answered, and was busy greeting my master and them, I felt strange, so I asked, "Crispy Meat, why are you here?" ”
"I saw Jiang Ye and them going up the mountain yesterday, and I said hello, but Jiang Ye didn't want me to follow me up the mountain, and then I had dinner, wasn't it boring? Walking around the village with Xiao Wu, I met Aunt Xueman going down the mountain, and he said that a large number of people have to leave early this morning, don't I wait for you? Crispy Meat said.
I rolled my eyes, why do you want a lot of people to leave? I bet Aunt Xue Man didn't say that, this crispy meat is so lazy that she doesn't even bother to say it clearly.
I haven't had time to say anything? Crispy Meat is already busy helping Huijue carry his luggage, this kid is coming.
With the existence of crispy meat, the atmosphere is finally lively, a group of people walked up to the familiar passers-by, looking at the unique rain scene in this mountain village, and began to talk and laugh, a road, walk slowly, from the day just bright, to the day, to the village station, it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning.
"Okay, don't send it, I'll go to Hu Xueman in the town and ask him to arrange a car to take us back." Grandma Ling Qing hugged Ling Ruyue off my back as she spoke, Ling Ruyue's eyes were full of reluctance, and in an instant, her eyes turned red.
It's no wonder that she is not surprised, life in the village may be too boring for a child, and finally has a few good partners, and they have taken risks together, who is willing to do it?
Before we could say anything, my master suddenly said, "Ling Qing, we are all old." ”
Grandma Ling Qing once again showed the melancholy expression she had in the tomb, the corners of her mouth moved, and she didn't say anything after all.
Huijue said: "It's old, it's been 82 years, do you remember 51 years?" The first time we cooperated, after the completion of that mission, the three of us were in separate scenes at the station, Ling Qing, you also beat Jiang Lichun, threatening him to see him again, and definitely tricking him. ”
Grandma Ling Qing blushed and said, "It's all in the past, what is Lao Ti doing?" ”
"Yes, I'm just joking that there is a person who is afraid of taking the train, and he can't stand the smell, it's her eldest lady, and as a result, she was threatened and was going to be tricked." My master said teasingly, and the three of them laughed for a while.
A few of our juniors also laughed, and the atmosphere of parting was finally diluted at this time.
"Now, it's different, we're still standing here, the next generation is so old, Huijue, you have to keep up, we're old, we're going to do what we want to do." After laughing, Master suddenly said.
"Don't worry, my apprentice will definitely come from behind, no worse than Sanwa'er and Ruyue." Old man Huijue will not admit defeat in front of my master.
"You two, it's still the same as before, who fought for Taoism and Buddhism in the past, and now you want to fight for whose apprentice?" Grandma Ling Qing glanced at the two old men, although the years were the most ruthless, this look of disgust, made by Grandma Ling Qing, was still full of amorous feelings.
My master was in a daze.
"Sanwa, crispy meat, Ruyue, I will bring you local products when I go to Xinjiang." Yang Sheng suddenly spoke and interrupted the moment's amorous feelings, this kid always does this kind of thing.
My master coughed embarrassedly and scolded Yang Sheng: "You kid has another tendon, isn't it?" Where are you going to bring any souvenirs? Even if you know the address, you can't mail Ling Qing, do you know where Beijing is for me and Sanwa'er? Isn't it bad to receive your souvenirs? ”
"Raisins don't go bad." Yang Sheng was rare to be cunning, but it was clearly as if he was studying academics, so he still lifted his glasses and said seriously.
My master was deflated and angry, so he simply ignored Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng looked at us, but said really seriously: "I may not be able to bring souvenirs, but I will keep souvenirs for the three of you, and wait for us to meet again." ”
All of a sudden, we laughed and said, yes, again.
At this time, the bus to the town had already left, listening to the 'Didi' horn, I had been very calm, and suddenly had a strong reluctance, I suppressed.
It wasn't until Ling Ruyue waved goodbye to me with tears in her eyes that I shouted loudly: "Uncle Hui, remember to play chess with me again, Grandma Ling Qing, Ruyue, I will definitely go to see you when I grow up." ”
Hui Jue looked back at me lovingly, and Grandma Ling Qing took Ruyue by the hand, looked at me and smiled, and Ruyue cried out.
I watched the car walk away, and when I turned around, I saw that the master was looking at me with a smile, and the crispy meat put his hand on my shoulder: "Just kidding, those who break into the rivers and lakes, parting is just a matter of leisure." ”
Holding back the tears in my eyes, I forced a smile and said, "When did your baby become so educated?" ”
"I read martial arts novels."
“***!”
I laughed at the same time as the crispy meat, and my master looked at us, patted our heads, and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Jiang Ye, go back and tell me about the tomb of the hungry ghost?"
The drizzle was still dense, and I put my arm on the shoulders of the crispy meat, leaning on the master, and suddenly felt that I was suddenly happy, and the future was always full of warmth, hope, and infinite possibilities.
