I'm Mrs.

Chapter 173 Like Grass, Lush and Alive
Put Xiaoliu at home and look at my second uncle, I ran like crazy towards the mountain alone, it rained for a while last night, and it was covered with thin ice in the morning, it was very slippery, I don’t remember how many times I fell, and I ran to Linzikou When I was there, I realized that the doors that had made me dizzy were gone.

The eight clusters of Qi with different colors all disappeared.

Naturally, there is no need to look for the door to the uncle's house. Let alone me, any villager who goes up the mountain to cut firewood can find the uncle's house. He opens the courtyard door and goes straight into the house. Instinctively happy, "Uncle..."

Before he could say the third word, he bent his legs and immediately knelt down!

Even if I saw the crane, I actually didn't want to believe it, but at this moment, I had to tell myself that my master passed away.

Regarding the word 'immortal death', my first cognition was from my uncle. Even my grandma, when I left, I remember going to the bottom first, and then returning to various places, but my uncle, he is the driver. He went to the west, that is to say, he was promoted to immortality...

He sat cross-legged on the kang, his eyes closed tightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly drawn. Although his face did not change, he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but I knew in my heart that he was gone.

My heart was grieving and powerless, but I clenched my fists tightly. Looking at my uncle, I wanted to touch him, but I had a feeling that I didn't want to disturb him.

Don't dare to cry loudly, for fear of disturbing him, waking him up...

He was sitting very steadily, his palms were flat on both sides of his knees, his fingertips were still slightly bent, and there was a thick layer of dust on the shoulders of his dark blue clothes. Even the kang was covered with a thin layer of dust. I remembered what my uncle said when he came to see me last night. He said that he was in meditation, that is to say, he sat in this position for a long time until he left.

There is also his handwritten calligraphy written on the wall, which is written by Wang Yangming. His heart is bright, so there is nothing to say.

With trembling hands, he picked up a piece of paper that my uncle placed beside his lap, and wiped his tears to see clearly, "This time I entered meditation, or I will finally be liberated. Idle clouds and wild cranes have no worries in their lives. When I am dying, I leave this document. To comfort and keep the four hearts at ease.

The physical body is suffering, and I have never given up on being abandoned by my teacher. After I leave, don’t cry over a skin. You only need to have a thin burial, no inscriptions, no burning paper. The sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed. My heart is enough. , in this life, I never thought that there would be a disciple who is so smart and intelligent, so I love him, I must know...'

I read it carefully, and there was a long article in it. He warned me that there is no rush to leave the mountain. When I officially debut, I should read the books in the room. , is detachment.

This is not the character of my uncle, I know he is worried about me, afraid that I will not be able to bear it, so he said it in such detail, but throughout the whole article, my uncle did not mention the slightest requirement for me to achieve a certain achievement.

Just like what he told me when I was a child, he doesn't imprison my thoughts, but just hopes that I can be a free and easy person, enter the right way, and be a good person.

After reading word by word, I raised my eyes to look at the still smiling face of my uncle. He must have been writing this before entering meditation, but I didn’t expect to be worried about me in the end. Going back to see me, not only helped me make up for my congenital deficiencies and gave me enlightenment, but also helped me save my second uncle...

My teeth were chattering, and I kept telling myself not to cry, my uncle didn't like to see me cry, so I fell on the ground and kowtowed to him three times, sucking my nose and saying, "Uncle, I remember your words, I will never underestimate myself in the future, Baosi, Baosi will definitely work hard, definitely..."

As soon as the words are finished, just listen to 'Tom! ' sounded, and the sitting body of my uncle fell directly onto the kang, splashing dust everywhere, as if my wish had been fulfilled, and I had no regrets...

Holding my breath, I got up, went outside to touch the shovel, and went straight to the backyard. I exerted all my suppressed strength on the shovel, yelling and hitting the ground until I dug a hole as deep as one person, and then went into the back of the house. I began to tear the white cloth, made myself a simple filial piety, and then took my uncle's arm to carry him on my back.

He is actually very light, really very light. It stands to reason that I can't carry a grown man who has completely unloaded his strength, but it is completely effortless to carry my uncle. I think it is true as he said. He is gone. Now I What he is carrying is just a skin bag.

I grabbed the soil with my hands and buried him bit by bit. It was cold and the soil was a little hard. After I filled the soil, I found that my fingers were all bleeding. There was no pain, but numbness. I don’t know how much a heart can bear. Pain, it’s just that I naturally thought of what Haruki Murakami said... I always thought that people grow old slowly, but it’s not, people grow old in an instant.

I think I can change it. People start to grow in an instant. Every moment of my grief seems to be growing, forcing myself to face and accept.

I didn't go down the mountain that night, and sat on the simple grave of my uncle for a long time like a fool. I didn't burn paper, and my uncle's realm didn't need it. I burned paper to add karma to him. I lit three sticks of incense and talked about my love. Xinyi sat there until midnight, then moved his frozen wood legs back to the house. After a sleepless night, he began to descend the mountain again in the morning light.

After entering the village, some villagers who got up early looked at me puzzled, probably because I was wearing a strange, simple vest made of white cloth. Anyone who saw it would think it was wearing Xiao, but they didn’t hear the mourning in my house, there was no suona sound, I didn't ask any more questions, until I stepped into the courtyard gate, and Xiao Liu ran out to announce the good news with a smile, "Fourth sister, my father..."

The smile froze immediately, "Grandpa, he really...gone?"

I nodded dumbly, "Let's go, didn't I tell you that he went west by crane?"

Xiao Liu looked at me, and had to carefully move in front of me, gently pulling my arm with his hand, "Fourth sister, I'm sorry."

He has never met his uncle, but only knows that there is such a person. In other words, uncle and Xiao Liu are just strangers who know their names and taboos.

"Well, my dad is fine. After you left yesterday, my dad couldn't resist the stomachache for a while, and then he went to pull it out... The fish is still alive, alive and kicking, and it was pulled out again and raised. .”

I understand that Xiaoliu wants to make it sound better, but this thing can't sound good. From the moment the fish enters the second uncle's mouth, I know where it has to come out. If the mouth is a dead door, then the corresponding It must be the gate of life, enter through the gate of death, and exit through the gate of life. If it does not come out through the anus, it will come out.

"The fish must be raised well. It's not an ordinary fish. It has immortal energy. If you keep it at home, it will protect the second uncle."

Xiao Liu nodded again and again, "That fish must be unusual, so it's fine after traveling around in the intestines, but in the end, I ate all the fishing line I pulled out, and I stared at the fishing line. It retracted into my dad's mouth again, the fighting power is amazing, my dad was fine last night, and he had dinner, and asked where you were, I said you went up the mountain, but I didn't dare to say what a grandpa is. Didn’t you tell me about going there before, aren’t you sure?”

I nodded expressionlessly, "I'm sure now..." I smiled bitterly at the corner of my mouth, "It's good that the second uncle is fine."

If something happens to the second uncle again, I think, I will go crazy.

"Four Treasures?!"

The second uncle came out with the help of the bright moon, looked at me with a face full of shock, "Why are you wearing this... What's wrong with your uncle..."

"he's gone."

I opened my mouth numbly, "Before he left, he made a special trip. He gave me the fish. He drove west."

The real ride to the west, not the funeral eulogy, I saw it with my own eyes.

The second uncle's legs softened, "You didn't lie to me?"

I stood still, I really wanted to lie, I raised my finger still stained with blood and mud and rushed towards the second uncle, "I... buried it myself..."

The second uncle didn't respond for a long time, and it was unknown if the clothes on his body fell off.

The second aunt was the first to cry, "Uncle is a good man, I met him once, he was fine, why did he just leave, Baosi, where did you get buried, the coffin has not been ordered yet Well, you have to enter the Xue family's ancestral grave."

I still shook my head without any reaction, "Uncle said no, he lived a free and easy life, the remaining body is just a skin, he doesn't care about it, just bury it casually..."

"It can't be casual!"

That Mingyue stomped her feet, "You child, hurry up and tell me where he was buried, so I can buy some paper and go see him!"

The second uncle was ignorant as if he had just realized it. He took a few steps and grabbed my shoulder. As long as my uncle is gone..."

I knew I couldn't beat them, so I took my second uncle up the mountain, and by the way, I also went to inform Grandpa Chen and Li. In the village, besides our own family, the uncle who misses me the most is this second old man.

They hadn't spoken to my uncle for most of their lives. When I told the news of my uncle's passing away, they cried bitterly at first, and then smiled and said yes, Mr. has too little knowledge. Uncle's passing away and ascending to heaven really made them happy. look up.

Fortunately, Grandpa Chen and Li understood the particulars here. Although the group was sad, they didn't let the second aunt bring burning paper, saying that the uncle didn't need burning paper, and he wouldn't accept it. just fine.

I stood far away, watching my second uncle and aunt knelt in front of my uncle’s grave and kept crying. Blind Chen Li wiped his tears secretly when he said he would not cry. I was about to be eaten by the cold wind, my face seemed chapped, and the wind passed by, and it hurt like a knife.

The body seemed to be hollowed out, unconscious, cold and hot, staring blankly at everything that happened in front of him, only telling himself mechanically, to be strong, to live luxuriantly like grass.
