Chapter 70 The Past Years III
"Master, this crispy house has a big cherry tree, and when we were young, we had to waste it every year when it was fruiting. (The fastest update speed can be found by remembering this site) "Walking through every place in the village, I can't help but tell the master about a past, at this time, I happened to pass by the crispy meat house.
"Oh? Leave tomorrow, don't you talk to the crispy meat? Master asked with a smile.
I was silent for a moment and said, "You said that I would always meet again in the future, so I won't say it." ”
"Okay."
"Master, this Liu Chunyan is not here, I haven't seen her this winter vacation, I heard that the county middle school makes up for the make-up class early."
"If Liu Chunyan writes to you again in the future, you won't be able to receive it."
"How did you know that Liu Chunyan wrote to me?"
"Crispy Meat said."
“***!”
"Master, when I was a child, I broke the bread grain, and I loved to come to this field, and the bread grain grown in this house is the most delicious."
"Master, this ditch, I loved soaking in water here when I was a child"
"Master, I had a fight in this small bamboo forest, and I made an appointment to fight it alone after school."
In front of the memories, Master and I had unconsciously walked to the countryside, and Master asked me, "Do you want to go to the school?" ”
"I won't go to school, and there are no people now, and a place like a school always has to be someone, so it belongs to a place of memory."
"Okay, let's go eat."
It's still the old lady's house, this time, just in time for noon, their family of four generations is eating together, very usual, but the atmosphere is extraordinarily warm, and the two uninvited guests and I and Master have also been warmly entertained, because of the last time the insect was shot, the people in the countryside remember the master.
In particular, the old lady was still muttering: "You have come to my house for dinner, and I don't know that you are a langzhong." ”
The rice is a simple stewed rice with green beans, with some potatoes and small bacon, which is very fragrant, and a few side dishes, simple but fresh, and people who eat it even want to swallow it with their tongues.
I was gulping down my meal, and the old lady couldn't help but say, "Hey, baby, slow down, didn't your grandfather say that you had something to do last time?" ”
"Cough" I squirted out as soon as I took a bite of food, how can this old lady have such a good memory, she can even remember my master's nonsense, fortunately I turned my head in time, otherwise I would have to spray someone else's table.
The old lady was worried, and called her daughter-in-law to pour water for me quickly, and muttered: "Look, look, I'm sick, fortunately your grandfather is a man." ”
I glanced at the old man Jiang with 'resentment', and he was eating in a big gulp, as if it was none of my business.
At that time, the vocabulary was not instructed, if I wanted to change it now, I would definitely 'shoot the case', pointing at the master and scolding, your sister's spraying rice disease!
The old lady also told us a new thing, saying that two people came to the township the day before yesterday, and they looked very rich, and they were accompanied by the township leaders, saying that they were looking for someone.
"Which one are you looking for?" My master asked.
"I don't know, but it doesn't seem to be found, what do the leaders in the township know? You have to ask us old people to know, but I think they will definitely ask us. The old lady said triumphantly, as if she were waiting for someone to come to her door and ask.
When I left the old lady's house, Master and I walked around the countryside, and I said, "Master, let's go to the Hungry Ghost Tomb and have a look. ”
"Okay, in a few days, the archaeological team will come, I'm still waiting for some information to be given to me when the time comes, a thing in the tomb has been taken away, that's very important, let's go around."
As he spoke, our master and apprentice walked in the direction of the Hungry Ghost Tomb, and by chance, we met the leaders of the township.
A group of several people, accompanied by a couple who seemed to be husband and wife, were walking towards the place where the hungry ghost tomb was, and as they walked, they were still talking about something.
When he saw the two of us, the township chief came over, holding my master's hand warmly, and said, "Master Jiang, what a coincidence, I just happened to want to find you, so I don't know where to find it." ”
"What's the matter?" My master looked at the two strangers, a little confused.
The two people, dressed or something, are very fashionable, the man is elegant and elegant, the woman is quite temperamental, at first glance it is a big family, and it is a big city, the man is holding a black leather bag tightly in his arms.
"I'll introduce you," the mayor began to introduce enthusiastically.
After the introduction, we learned that these two people are really a couple, from Taiwan, at that time it was not easy to come from Taiwan once, they came to find people, they couldn't find anyone, and they could find offspring.
It's just that they came the day before yesterday, and they haven't found anyone yet, or any descendants, and they are a little anxious, so I asked my master to help, because most of the people who passed away in the countryside were buried in that bamboo forest before, and then they were transferred, and it was my master who was responsible.
They wanted to inquire if there was any burial in the cemetery they were looking for.
After listening to the introduction, Master asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
The man shook my master's hand very sincerely, and said, "I'm here to fulfill my *** wish, we want to find someone named Li Fengxian, she used to be a very famous actor, but I heard that she returned to this small village later." ”
"Li Fengxian?!" Master and I exclaimed at the same time that we have not forgotten that sad love story.
"What? Does Master Jiang know Li Fengxian? Where is she? Can you take us there? The Taiwanese were excited, and suddenly grabbed my master's hand tightly.
It was still his wife who reminded him of his gaffe, and he was embarrassed to explain: "Master Jiang, Li Fengxian is a very important person to my grandmother, don't tell you, my grandmother will not be happy until she dies, her only wish"
The man couldn't go on, and my master looked at him and said, "Is your grandmother's name Yu Xiaohong?" She died? Is she in Taiwan? ”
Master once got a photo of Tai Xiaohong, and pierced a paper figure according to Yu Xiaohong's appearance and burned it to Li Fengxian, but he also learned that Yu Xiaohong could not be found in the whole country later, so he went to Taiwan.
"How do you know?" The Taiwanese man was taken aback.
"Forget it, come with me." Master sighed.
It's been eight years late, but this Li Fengxian still waited for Yu Xiaohong after all
The desolate and lonely grave, a few pillars of fragrance, are the living or the dead comforting?
I looked at the man who was grieving at the grave, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of impermanence in my heart.
It turned out that the black leather bag that the man was holding tightly was actually Yu Xiaohong's ash jar, and after being sad, the man looked at me and the master and said, "Do you know the story of my grandmother and Li Fengxian?" ”
My master nodded and said, "I know." ”
"I also heard this story about my grandmother when she was about to pass away twelve years ago, and my grandmother was a very good person and a very good person, and I respected her and I respected her feelings. Her only wish after her death is that we can take her to find Li Fengxian, and if she lives, she will see her, and if she goes, she hopes to be buried with Li Fengxian. However, we didn't know that my grandmother was very determined, and she said that they would definitely be buried together. The man said with some scruples.
I understand his scruples, he doesn't know Li Fengxian's final ending, he is scrupling that if Li Fengxian has a family and is buried with his grandmother, isn't it a bad rule? This is very taboo, and he doesn't understand why his grandmother is so stubborn and so convinced.
My master turned around and asked the township leaders to go back first, there were some things that couldn't be said too much in that era, and then after the township leaders went back, my master opened his mouth and told them the ending of Li Fengxian.
The two couples burst into tears at the same time, and at the same time bowed deeply to Li Fengxian's grave.
"I said why grandma has been unhappy, she said to give her a peaceful life, a different way to protect her, they" The man couldn't go on, and the woman was also wiping tears from her eyes.
"Husband, grandma and Grandma Fengxian will definitely be together in the next life." The woman was comforted.
"Well, it must be." The man was convinced.
It's good to have a thought, my master didn't tell them at all, in fact, Li Fengxian has turned into a powerful ghost, and he has long been riddled with cause and effect, once he has made a wish, his soul has already been scattered, where is there the next life, this world, even if he is poor and falls into the Yellow Spring, there is no trace of Li Fengxian at all.
Eight years, but it was eight years late, Li Fengxian didn't wait for eight years later, Yu Xiaohong came back to accompany her for a long time, why is the cause and effect in this world so bitter?
They can be buried in the same cave, but unfortunately, there is no soul who can sing on the grave, singing to the bleak night: "The beautiful scenery of the good day is the sky"
Many years later, I happened to hear a song called "Burial Heart", when the lingering, sad and cold lyrics sang: "The butterfly flies away, the heart is not there, the bleak night is long, who will wipe the tears." is greedy for a little dependence, greedy for a little love" I will think of the story of Li Fengxian and Yu Xiaohong.
That sentence, people's words converge into a sea of sorrow, bitter and unbearable, it is so profound, but it is also inexhaustible, and the cause and effect entanglement in the world.
Finally, Master and I left, and that morning, it was also raining in the spring rain.
No one sent them off, and no one knew, Master and I left like this, and this village has to go on, maybe they will remember the existence of Master and me, or maybe they will forget it after a while.
However, I cannot forget it, because this is my root.
Many years later, I heard that he had been squatting and crying at the station in the countryside very unproductively, just because he ran up the hill on the day Master and I left, and found that the building was empty, and he ran to the station, and it was already night, and he hugged a little bit hoping to see us, but the station was empty at night, where was there still our shadow?
"Sanwa'er, you ***, you didn't say anything to me when you left, I thought I didn't care about separation, but TM still cried without a trace, when I arrived at the station, what were you doing?" This is a passage that Crispy Meat told me.
But I don't quite remember what I was doing at that time, I just remember that one afternoon on the train, Master suddenly said to me, "Sanwa'er, the train is leaving Sichuan." ”
All of a sudden, my heart was full of desolation, and finally, I left.
