Text: Chapter 38: Reflections

Ding Yi silently returned to his bedroom, did not go under the bed to dig out the treasures he had collected, nor did he read a book, but for the first time in his life, he began to think seriously about his future.

Ding Li came over to ask about the situation, but his father and mother had sternly explained, and Ding Yi also knew that it was for the good of his brother, so he didn't tell his brother. This matter is an eternal secret for the three members of the family. Ding Yi knew that his father and mother would definitely give a gag order to Ding Li and Ding Yun, asking them not to ask Ding Yi to inquire about this matter again.

Ding Yi lay on his back on the bed, staring at the roof in a daze. There were so many stories that happened tonight that Ding Yi still had a feeling of unreality until now. And he received too much information today, which made Ding Yi a little overwhelmed, and he had to sort it out.

In my previous life, I could be said to have lived a little ignorant, and I was really a little too fanatical about cultivation. I have never really considered what my future path will be if I can't be selected for the transcendent sacrifice. In fact, to be precise, I have always deliberately avoided this question and never thought about it in this direction.

No matter how dazzling the dream is, it will eventually return to reality. What should my future be, now is the time to face it soberly, really calm down and think about it.

The road of cultivating Zhen, now it seems that most of them are impassable, his family has never had any monks, counting on the probability of 1 in 100,000, to be honest, Ding Yi himself is not confident. Learning puppetry from Duoduo is also a way, but the formation level almost destroyed Ding Yi's confidence, making him feel that this road is not easy to walk. How should I plan for the future and take a path that suits me? Do you want to continue Ding Zhaoding's old path and be the head of a workshop? Ding Yi was very entangled.

Lancôme's speeches tonight also made Ding Yi at a loss, and the heat of cultivating the truth faded somewhat, and the deceit between the cultivators made him bored. The attitude of my father and mother actually affected Ding Yi to some extent.

I don't know if it was Mu Yanran's half-hung "Daigo Introduction" that impacted Ding Yi's soul, or whether it was the performances of various monks in Mu Yuan later that caused Ding Yi's spiritual turmoil, Ding Yi was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Staring blankly at the roof. I had a lot of thoughts, and I didn't come up with a good answer.

The mottled marks on the old ceiling slowly deformed in Ding Yi's pupils, turning into a goblin for a while, and a ghost for a while, Ding Yi looked stunned. A large tear slipped quietly, and in the tearful eyes, I unconsciously fell asleep.

In the morning, Ding Yi, who was still asleep, was woken up by his father, and a new day began, poor mortals, without time to complain, even if there was more suffering, they had to dry their tears and continue their lives.

"Xiao Yi, I discussed it with your mother last night, you may not know the value of the things you got back last night. Ding Zhaoding pondered the language.

"My opinion with your mother is for you to return it to the current owner of the ancestral house. "This is a gold dollar that may be worth more than a thousand, and Ding Zhaoding can't be cautious.

"Oh, how much are those things worth?" Ding Yi had a notion that money was just a silver dollar and a gold dollar. Yesterday, when my mother took out the contents of the lucky bag, he recognized those things, but he had no concept of money. These things shouldn't be worth a few gold dollars, Ding Yi once thought so.

"I guess it's worth at least a thousand dollars. Ding Zhaoding still told his son honestly. He was confident that his son would understand the reason for doing so.

"What? 1,000 gold dollars?" Ding Yi was startled. Ding Yi never thought that those three inconspicuous items would be so valuable. I thought it was only worth three or four gold dollars.

"I don't think the owner of Mu Yuan will accept it, their family is very rich, and the eldest brother who brought me in yesterday helped me with a gift, I think he is the one who should be thanked. After calming down, Ding Yi replied.

Cultivators look down on mortals, who knows what kind of character this Mu Yuan master is, if he returns the lucky bag, it will be considered an insult to him, it will be bad.

Ding Zhaoding also felt that his son's analysis was reasonable.

"Either you take these things first. Father pulled out the few things.

"Otherwise, you can sell them," Ding Yi said after a moment's consideration.

"Pay off the family's debts first, and give the rest of the money to the eldest brother to go to school, so that the eldest brother doesn't have to borrow the travel expenses and tuition fees to Phoenix, and let him study at school with more peace of mind, without having to work and study, my uncle has long wanted to start a stall, I really don't like my aunt to say those sour words every time I say that. It's time to reorganize some things at home, you see this desk of mine, only three legs are the same length, and the rest has to be bricked. I haven't worn new clothes yet, so let's get my whole family dressed in new clothes this time. ”

"What if the big brother who helped you deliver a gift wants these things?" Ding Zhaoding was still not at ease.

"In a few days, they will return to the capital, and Brother Lan Xuan is very good, he won't care. Ding Yi said. Thinking of Lan Xuan and his chance encounter, this hearty and handsome big brother may never be seen again, Ding Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Ding Zhaoding's eyes moistened, "Xiao Yi, good boy." Ding Zhaoding tried hard not to let the tears flow. But he was so choked up that he couldn't speak anymore.

Ding Yi believes that his family will get better and better, he can imagine his sister Ding Yun wearing a beautiful pleated skirt, that cheerful laughter, his brother Ding Li reading in the study with peace of mind, his father's gramophone has been replaced with a new model, and his mother no longer has to be unhappy in front of his aunt.

When I came to Xu Ji puppet shop, I still had half an hour to leave work. Unlike yesterday, only Ding Yi came to Xu Ji at this point yesterday, but today there are many more employees, it seems that Ding Yi's reform has touched the nerves of most people, whether it is a stupid bird to fly first, or some other reason, the current working atmosphere is still good.

Duoduo has just come back from outside, and it seems that after a whole day of digestion yesterday, Duoduo seems to be able to eat normally today. Because when Duoduo came back, he still had two pancakes in his hand and a jar of vanilla honey in his other hand.

Ding Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet Duoduo, this is a friend that Ding Yi recognizes very much, although his evil appearance, rude manners, and irritable personality will disgust many people, but Ding Yi does not feel that he hates him at all, but will be willing to get close to him because of his frankness and simplicity.

"Here, hurry up and eat. "Duoduo turned out to be early in the morning, so I went to buy breakfast for him.

However, Ding Yi had already eaten early, and Ding Yi expressed his gratitude for Duoduo's behavior. Duoduo had no choice but to hand over breakfast to Xu Ji Xiaoye.

Knowing that Ding Yi was in good health, Duoduo's uneasy heart was somewhat relieved. You must know that after Ding Yi left yesterday, Duoduo felt guilty and blamed himself for a night, such a good seedling who learned puppetry, if he was ruined, he would never forgive himself.

Xu Rongfa was also very enthusiastic when he saw Ding Yi walking into the store, this is an important pillar of whether he can develop in the future. He is also very concerned about Ding Yi's body. Seeing that Ding Yi seemed to be normal, he inquired about Ding Yi's physical condition, and after getting Ding Yi's assurance, Xu Rongfa was relieved.

Duoduo impatiently dragged Ding Yi almost hard to his office. In fact, Ding Yi doesn't like to deal with Xu Rongfa very much. Although this is his boss, Ding Yi always feels that this person is too philistine, too shrewd, too calculating, and far less straightforward than facing him.

Ding Yi rejected Duoduo's cramming request for memory. Instead, I asked about my experience in learning puppetry, to see if I could learn anything from it. The answer is simply a 'practice makes perfect' conclusion.

This is like an apprentice in a pharmacy, who has memorized the characteristics of hundreds of herbs over the years, and will also remember dozens of common prescriptions, knowledge of pharmacology, principles of drug preparation, what yin and yang five elements, what five elements and six qi, what monarchs and ministers do, all of which are unknown. However, the apprentice is accustomed to seeing patients, according to the prescription of medicine, only by virtue of the familiarity with the medicinal materials, in the process of experiencing some pathological knowledge and drug knowledge, they can also solve the general small problems. Duoduo is like such a pharmacy apprentice, what can Ding Yi learn from him?

Could it be that there is no other way to memorize all these specious combinations of formations by rote memorization?

If you can enter the mythical world again and use the special functions of the mythical world, can you find a way to do it?

When you think of it, do it immediately.

It's often like this, unintentionally, into the mythical empire yourself. But I deliberately tried to go in again, but I couldn't. Tossing and turning, Ding Yi changed several sleeping positions, but he couldn't enter the Mythical Empire.

Before you know it, maybe you're tired, or something else. In the end, Ding Yi fell asleep.

So when Duoduo came back again, he was surprised to find Ding Yi curled up, sleeping on his big swivel chair.

Duoduo wrapped a thin blanket over his good friend to keep him from catching a cold, and then left the room.

Xu Rongfa was patrolling the workshop, and he wanted to see if he could dig deep into the potential of his work, and like all capitalists, squeezing the surplus value of the workers was what they were most willing to do.

Ding Yi, that kid must have a way to improve his efficacy, let him learn from Duoduo what Lao Shizi's puppet learned, that was really a wrong decision. But in the face of a lot of calf guards guarding Ding Yi, he has no way.

He didn't want this secret weapon to be exposed, if the family knew about Ding Yi's existence, then what would happen to him Xu Rong.

The operation of the workshop is very smooth, Duoduo will check the quality from time to time, due to the increase in production capacity, he also has to play the role of a formation mage, help Jia Shiyuan and Lu Shiji carve the formation, inlay the yuan stone, and make the formation base.

The workers are a little strange, because that magical child did not work in the workshop today, and this fast-rising teenager is definitely a legendary existence for them. Many people talk to their families when they go home, and they are all amazed, especially families with young children, all compare Ding Yi with their own children, and find that there is no comparison at all. It was a genius, a genius that they could not understand.
