C72 (2/2)
Even though he was sitting so close to me, and there was a layer of gray fog between us, he was a mystery to me. He suddenly looked at me and said, ”What are you staring at me for?” I smiled and said, ”What, do you feel uncomfortable being watched?” Chang Tianba turned his head and said, ”Of course, I don't like being watched.”
Master told me that, and I have also read about that in the ancestor's notes. That is because the ancestor's understanding, whether it is man, beast, god or ghost, is the same, but the time and place of existence are different. If one can see through the mortal world, then all living things are one in their eyes.
In the end, Chang Tianba and I drank all ten bottles of wine, but he was quick and decisive. As he left, he only said, ”Let's go.” The black smoke disappeared, and I tiptoed back into the store.
After a few days like this, besides meditating every day, I would only eat and sleep every day. If Senior Sister had nothing better to do, she would go to the hospital to visit Master and Senior Brother and not let me go out, because Master said before that the Japanese woman knows my smell and shouldn't go out easily. If I become like Senior Brother again, I don't know if Master will have a mental breakdown or not.
I always felt that there was something I hadn't done, my heart was always in turmoil, the arrival of one person reminded me of this matter, I was still a student, seeing that winter was approaching, I had not gone to school for a long time.
Today, I was in meditation, entering a state of tranquility. My whole aura was weak, and my aura was shrinking, so that when that person entered the shop, he did not notice me as he passed by me, because at this moment my 'popularity' was at its lowest, like that of a piece of furniture. When I opened my eyes, he was still peeking up the stairs.
I said, ”Is it to find Master Xu?” His voice wasn't loud, but it startled him. Damn it, when did you turn around to look at me and complain, ”When did you run behind me? You scared me to death. Haozi, you haven't been to school for the past few months. What are you doing?”
He was my good friend from school, Qi Fenghua, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his panicked expression. He complained, ”You're still laughing, I heard that you almost died in a car accident, why does it look like you're fine.”
Senior sister must have said it when she helped me ask for a leave of absence, so I couldn't think of any other reason. I stopped laughing and said to him, ”Brother Hua, I also missed you; I just got discharged from the hospital, and I was just able to eat by myself yesterday. I've been lying in the hospital for these past few months, and I almost suffocated myself.” He looked me up and down and said suspiciously, ”No, you don't look like you just came out of the hospital. You must have been hurt in a car accident. Let me see where your wound is.” Then she came over to strip me of my clothes, and we laughed and played.
After a while, Brother Hua sat down, gasping for breath. He stared at me and said, ”I shouldn't have … How can you grow so fast? ” This is the result of completely absorbing the fox blood. I laughed at Brother Hua, saying that puberty grows really fast, and Brother Hua said, ”You don't look like an adolescent, you look like you ate fertilizer.”
Since I wasn't at school and I didn't have any new classmates to go to, Ding Xiu had to sit at my own table. My seat had become a place where the students at the front and back tables put food and even some food to eat, and because I didn't eat in the morning, Ding Xiu had eaten some buns from my table, which were eaten by the boy whom she secretly fell in love with. The girl was very angry and started arguing with Ding Xiu. She opened her mouth wide for the girl to smell. When the girl put her nose close to Ding Xiu's big mouth, when Ding Xiu couldn't hold back her burp, suddenly, the smell of leek wafted out from her mouth. The whole class was smelling it, and the girl almost fainted because this Ding Xiu had not only lost a few buns to others, but had also been laughed at for a long time.
When I finished, Brother Hua said to me, ”Hey, there's an old acquaintance looking for you tonight.” Old acquaintance? Who is it? Brother Hua put his hands together and muttered something like a scripture, then drew a circle on his head. I slapped my thigh and said, ”I know, Brother Yihu.”
Brother Hua almost fell off his chair after hearing what I said. ”No way! Brother Xiu, are you still going to talk about the Steel Arms Tong Mu?” I said innocently, ”Who is that?” Just as I said that, a vulgar figure appeared in my mind: Lu Weiliang.
Thinking about it, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I have time to go to Pure Land Temple to see him. Now that I mentioned him, I can't help but think of the scene where I ate Da Chou with him.
Brother Hua said, ”Remember coming to Hua-ge, Brother Liang helped me a lot, the first time I died was because of my aunt, I found Brother Liang, it was all thanks to him. From the time I went out to the funeral, he served Brother Liang like a dragon, and I didn't even ask for my uncle's family money, and he said he was my friend, he's so open-minded, and from then on I went out to find Brother Liang to pick up some money. Haozi, you have to learn from Brother Liang, he's a monk, so don't look at you.” Well, from what he said, he didn't have much feelings for his aunt. He talked about a funeral as if it were a business affair. I said, ”Well, I'm not as good as him. I don't know how to recite scriptures. I don't want to eat potbellies.”
Brother Hua said: ”I remember now, Brother Liang likes to eat big-waisted food the most. I'll treat him to a few meals, that guy, how many kidneys will he put in? I'm so happy to give that to the barbecue shop owner. What do you think a monk like Brother Liang wants to make up for that?” After he said this, the two of us looked at each other and chuckled in unison.
