Cheng Muyou was asked a little abruptly for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he looked up at Cheng Dexuan and said slowly, "Father, my son believes that since he made the Xin'an County Order, his son has experienced too many yin and yang anecdotes, and he has long been surprised by these, but father, after you experienced the Qu Ziniao case, don't you still believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world, and there is cause and effect?"
” Cheng Dexuan threw a paper coat printed with a big red peony into the burning fire, and said lightly, "But even if there is, what can it be?"
When you are alive, you can be slaughtered by others, can you really take revenge when you die?
” "Cause and effect are not absolute, but they are inevitable, there is no way for good and evil, only people are called, and they are not responsible for things, how can you see the depth of your worries!"
After Cheng Muyou finished speaking, he threw a handful of paper ingots into the fire, and the fire caught fire, and he saw an unpredictable expression on Cheng Dexuan's face, and his face became a little more pale.
He was worried about his father, so he got up and came to him, and said softly, "Father, it's cold at night, why don't you go back to the house and rest first." ” Cheng Qiuchi also walked over, "Father, otherwise let my son send you back to the room." ” Cheng Dexuan let out an "oh" with a wooden face, then stood up with his waist back, "I can go back by myself, you two stay here and go back after burning these." ” After speaking, he ignored the dissuasion of the two brothers of the Cheng family and insisted on walking towards the Cheng family alone.
Cheng Qiuchi looked at his back as he was getting farther and farther away, smashed his mouth, turned his head and whispered to Cheng Muyou, "In the past few days, my father is weird, and his speech is always upside down, just take the past few days, he not only made the wrong decision about Ziqian's condition, wrote the wrong prescription, and did not admit it, not only that Ziqian himself stated the wrong symptoms, but also said that the back of the prescription was written by someone, but I looked at it upside down a few times, and I didn't see what words were written on the prescription.
Muyou, do you think my father is getting older, so his mind is not as bright as before?
” Cheng Muyou let out an "oh", then shook his head and said, "Impossible, my father hasn't reached the sixtieth birthday yet, how can he be confused?"
I think he has something in his heart that can't be relieved, so he is in a trance.
Speaking of this, he looked at Cheng Qiuchi and hugged his fists, "Big brother, I'm in Xin'an, I can't always pay attention to my father, although my sister-in-law is pregnant now, but my eldest brother still has to pay more attention to his father, don't let him get sick because of worry." ” "There is no way for good or evil, only people are called."
Cheng Dexuan silently recited these eight words all the way into the house, he didn't light the lamp, just closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at the jagged shadows on the ground.
After sitting silently for a long time, until his waist was a little sore, he sneered and said slowly, "The old man didn't deliberately misdiagnose your condition that day, just because the sky was dark and there was an urgent matter to get out of the palace, which mistakenly judged your symptoms and made your condition worse and worse. ” In the end, you chose to commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well, which is all due to your lack of will, weak character, and unable to bear the torture of the disease, what do you have to do with the old man?
Now that you are the only one who has come to seek revenge against me, do you think that I will be afraid of you, or will I be like you, so frightened that I will not possess my body, or even go to a dead end?
” He smiled and shook his head, "I won't, there are many practitioners in this world, but I am the only one who has climbed to the top, do you know why?"
For I am not as timid and cautious as they are, for fear that I will heal people.
There are thousands of herbs in the world, and their uses are different, if you don't try them one by one, how do you know its efficacy?
” Speaking of this, the smile on his face deepened, and the staggered wrinkles looked a little strange under the reflection of the moonlight, "Do you think I have been spotless all this way?"
You are wrong, if you want to be the best healer in the world, your robe must be stained with blood, and you are just one of the small stepping stones. ” He slowly stood up from the edge of the bed, "So, don't try to scare the old man with these little tricks, if I was afraid, I wouldn't have done it from the beginning, if I were a cowardly person, I would have been scared to death hundreds of times," he laughed twice and continued, "You were confused in life, and you didn't become smart when you died, it's better to get out of life as soon as possible, don't be stupid in the next life, be a person who understands." ” When the words fell, the small gap in his heart was finally repaired, and he only felt refreshed, and even the air mixed with the smell of paper ash became much sweeter.
Perhaps, people like Cheng Dexuan are the most in line with the rules of survival, they have a heart with strong self-healing ability, and no matter how dirty and dirty things they do, they can find the perfect reason to help them coat the outside of those dirt with a layer of shining gold and silver.
Over time, even they themselves believed that their hearts were full of gold, silver, and jewelry, not muddy water.
In doing so, they sustain a vigorous life, but they also perpetuate their sin There was suddenly a dark shadow in front of the door, the smile on the corner of Cheng Dexuan's lips disappeared, he raised his head and looked at the figure quietly, and there was a little expectation in his heart, he wanted to see how capable that thing was, and what tricks it could turn up.
So, he cleared his throat and called outside, "Ziqian, aren't you tired?"
Why didn't you rest for a long time, but you came here?
” The figure moved slightly, and then a laugh came in, "Father, open the door, I have something to give you." ” Cheng Dexuan looked at her without squinting, "It's not a big deal, it's not too late to send it tomorrow." ” "It's not good," Liu Ziqian said categorically, "I'll miss the hour tomorrow."
Cheng Dexuan said "oh", walked to the table and lit an oil lamp, and then said outside the house, "Okay, you can come in." ” Before long, the door of the house was pushed open by Liu Ziqian, her face was ruddy, smiling, completely different from the sick and weak appearance of the cold just now, the wind blew the things she was holding in her hand "hula hula" straight sound, her other hand pressed on it slightly, raised her foot and stepped into the threshold, and walked to Cheng Dexuan opposite and sat down without scruples.
"Father, it's cold, and I see that your face hasn't been very good lately, so I made a cotton dress for you."
Cheng Dexuan stared at her quietly and said slowly, "You are pregnant and your first child, so don't work so hard." ” Liu Ziqian shook her head, "Although the child is important, the father's body is also what the daughter-in-law has always remembered," as she said, she pushed the things in her hand in front of Cheng Dexuan, "Father see if this color fabric is to your liking, if you like it, I will make one for you every year." ”
