surname teacher

"Grandma, where did you put the tea leaves?"

"What kind of tea is tea, just go to the toilet for that kid to get some tap water! Tea leaves at home don't cost money!"

"grandmother……"

"You idiot, I told you not to trust others casually. No wonder you have been so stupid for so many years. It really pissed me off..."

The quarrel between Xiao Wuyun and Shi Xiaoguang was faintly heard in his ears. Jin Heng, who was alone outside the small Buddhist hall, raised his head slightly when he heard the words, and then saw a person and a dog talking in a low voice behind the curtain with incense candles.

The dog shadow standing upright seemed to be patiently persuading Xiaoshi, while Xiaoshi who was yelling angrily lost his temper on his own. Walking upright, the yellow dog boy who was able to bring out tea with his two forelimbs close together walked up to Jin Heng shyly and sat down.

"Master Jin, yes... sorry for keeping you waiting, let's have some tea first."

It was obviously a Chinese pastoral dog face that can be seen everywhere on the street, but it spoke in a standard human language. Jin Heng, who sat next to the small square table, took the tea in his hand and politely replied thank you, while shaking Shaking his head to signal that he doesn't need to be so polite, Shi Xiaoguang bowed his head in a reserved manner and remained silent for a while before whispering,

"Master Jin... My parents are still looking for me, right?"

"I'm still looking for it everywhere. Have you been to Sanliang Hutong recently?"

"...For a while...every day I begged my grandma to take me there, and then I didn't really want to go, because my grandma picked me up from the roadside when I was four or five years old, so my impression of my parents It’s just like how they taught me to talk and walk when I was a child... At first I thought it would be good to just lie at the door of the house and watch them secretly, but as time went on and saw the dog grow up to such a big size under their care, I felt a little bit It's uncomfortable...but I still go to see it every now and then..."

"You've been by their side all these years?"

"...Well, my dad likes to drink very much. Every time he gets drunk and walks home, he will lose his wallet. As long as I meet him, I will follow him and send back the wallet that I accidentally dropped on the way... …My mother is very timid and always gets bullied by others. She was robbed of her wallet once when she was shopping for groceries. I chased that person for a long distance, and then snatched her wallet back. But this was all a long time ago... Grandma told me that it's not safe outside recently, so I shouldn't go out casually... I went quietly last time, and she even skipped class to find me back..."

The grandma Shi Xiaoguang mentioned naturally refers to the grumpy and immortal Xiaoshi. Thinking about the first time I met Xiaoshi, she went to Feng Zhichun's house at three or four in the afternoon, so the reason should be that there is no accident. Because Shi Xiaoguang was there at the time, and thinking about it, he was older than Shi Xiaoguang, so Jin Heng, whose tone was more serious, slowed down and said to him slowly,

"I don't know what Xiaoshi told you when he came back, but the thing is probably what I just told you. I have already found your original human skin for you. If you still want to get it back People had better decide early on, if your birthday is past, then things will really be irreparable."

"I know...but...but the dog skin on my body is too strong...It is impossible to tear it off with external force. Grandma used to use the rural method...the tongs helped me burn the soles of my feet once, and put I specially soaked it in a medicine soup jar to soften the skin, but it didn't work, and now it's even more..."

"The best time for treatment has indeed been missed, but it is not impossible. I can help you find a doctor now. He is very experienced in this field and should be able to help you fundamentally. There will be a period of time after the skin change. In the recovery period of time, there will be no problems after the bond between the skin and the flesh grows again. When you become a human being in the future, it will be more convenient if you want to do many things. As for your parents, I won’t Go and tell them where you are now, everything depends on circumstances, and nothing can be forced.”

Jin Heng's attitude is much more patient and easy-going than usual. After all, he just helped out by the way from the very beginning. Said that he himself still hopes to really help this young man who has been in doubt, despair and low self-esteem for more than ten years.

It's just that Xiao Shi also seemed to see that Jin Heng obviously had other purposes besides looking for Shi Xiaoguang today, so the little girl who was always on guard against him only walked out quickly from behind the door curtain after hearing the words. Chong Jinheng snorted coldly,

"If you say there is no problem, then there is no problem! What if there is some medical accident that makes you half-human, half-dog, half-human and half-dog?! He is like this now, he can eat and sleep anyway, and he is not sick or disaster. I can support him for the rest of his life, but if the operation is not completed and he becomes disabled, who will be dragged down—"

Before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly. Xiaoshi's words were originally righteous, but when she inadvertently saw Shi Xiaoguang sitting next to him with drooping ears, a pitiful silent expression, and Xiaoshi with a frozen expression. The girl fell silent for a moment, and it took a long time before she turned her face away and said awkwardly to Shi Xiaoguang,

"I don't mean to say that you are my drag, it's your little life... just started, being a dog is better than losing your life, no matter what, grandma can always support you forever, If we can't be human, what are we afraid of..."

"grandmother……"

"Don't cry... Why are men crying! I have told you since I was a child, even if we are dogs, we can't let others look down on you. You have to look down on yourself before others can look down on you. You are worse than others. Where is it..."

The sincerity of Xiaoshi's words also made Shi Xiaoguang's eyes turn red in an instant, who was already in a complicated mood. After all, they have been here for so many years, and they are the two of them who have been so dependent on each other. In Shi Xiaoguang's eyes, they have nurtured him. Xiao Shi is the one who gave her a second life.

And after saying this, Xiaoshi seemed to have mixed feelings in her heart. After a while, she frowned and suddenly looked at Jin Heng who didn't make a sound to disturb them and said,

"Are you really... know what skin-changing doctor is? Did you lie to us?"

"I can tell you the doctor's address, and you can verify it yourself."

"...Then he also performed this kind of operation on other children? Are there any sequelae?"

"I can't guarantee this, but you can take Shi Xiaoguang over to have a look first, even if you have the simplest understanding, don't delay his last chance to see a doctor."

Jin Heng's sincere answer caused a slight change in Xiaoshi's unmoved expression. Shi Xiaoguang noticed that she was cold and silent for a while, and looked at Xiaoshi suspiciously, and wanted to ask again. Ask her what's wrong.

But before he could open his mouth, Xiao Shi, who seemed to have made up his mind, stood up with the futon on the ground and collected all the bits and pieces of sesame oil money on the incense table, and quickly ran to the back room to get some old ones The passbook with warped edges came out.

"Then go and have a look, what are you afraid of? We have plenty of money, Xiaoguang, help grandma hold it! From now on, the money will be yours! When I become a human being, I can let grandma take care of my grandson, which saves me from worrying about having to pay for it in the future." I'll find you a bitch to be your wife and breed..."

"……grandmother……"

The embarrassing and moved Shi Xiaoguang was in stark contrast to the careless Xiao Shi who was always proud there. Seeing that the old and the young had finally negotiated a suitable result, Jin Heng didn't say much, just Afterwards, he gave Shi Xiaoguang the address he had obtained from the last time, and Xiao Shi, who was about to have a good talk with him, entered the inner Buddhist hall where Samantabhadra was enshrined alone, and looked at her again. He casually put down the flower curtain with the red family protection talisman on the door.

"You already knew that I was coming to see you today?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I told you that I met your sister before..."

Xiaoshi bowed his head and curled his lips as he said so, and took out a Buddhist scripture covered with dust from under the incense table, and after signaling Jin Heng to find a place to sit down, he spread out the Buddhist scripture and put it between the two of them, then concentrated The spirited Xiaoshi first picked up the candlestick on the incense table with one hand and poured some candle oil on the scriptures, then sat cross-legged on the lotus-colored futon, and together with Jin Heng in front of him, he heard the sound like an elephant neighing in anger from the book the sound of.

"Why do you...have a 'door' here?"

His eyes sank for a moment, and he saw that the scenes on the Buddhist scriptures were changing like the vicissitudes of life, and the ①Samandobadaluo, who symbolized virtue and virtue, and the white elephant under him walked step by step from this page of the Buddhist scriptures. Going to the other page, Jin Heng with a bad complexion raised his hand subconsciously to take a look at this 'door' that shouldn't exist here at all, and moved quickly to separate Jin Heng. With his hands, he closed and put away the Buddhist scriptures that looked similar to Wan's surname, and Xiao Shi, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, only laughed mischievously and said, intentionally teasing him ,

"I heard... There was a story like this in the past. It is said that when the ancestor who got a certain surname first went to the fairy world to be named a family fairy, he would often cast himself a 'door' leading to the world so that he could be able to return to the world in the future. I often come back to take care of my children and grandchildren. These "doors" have been collected by the alchemists of the past dynasties in an ancient book called Wanjia surname, and then a door key is used to open those doors and invite the ancestors of thousands of families... ..."

"..."

"Because opposite to it, there is also a kind of 'evil spirit' who lives inside the wall and comes to the world to do evil by shadow, so these alchemists who are responsible for guarding the house are also responsible for eliminating evil spirits. In addition, evil spirits are shadows and are The yin side, so often the whole body is black without a trace of light, and the alchemist who guards the gate represents the yang side, so he must choose a child who is born with a flawless whiteness, and there is not even a trace of unnecessary impurities on his body..."

The reason about Wan Jia's surname and why he became a surname teacher in the first place was revealed by Xiaoshi. These things are rarely known by people, and because they are related to the continuation and inheritance of surname teachers, they have become almost impossible to be known. No one knows the secret, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red because of uneasiness, and the depth of his eyes also seeped a chalcedony-like cold light, Jin Heng didn't say a word for a while, just listened silently to this young man who was never old, and his personality was also tricky and weird. The 'little girl' continued to speak with a smile,

"Did you just say it was a door? It's a pity that you guessed wrong. Although it looks a bit similar, it's not the Wanjia surname book with countless doors in your hand... But speaking carefully, it It also has something to do with you. After all, your elder sister Jin Shu left this very small 'door' alone at my place, but she left without saying anything. Perhaps she just hoped that someone would have a chance to find me in the future. Here, go in through this door and find something she hid behind the door..."

Although I had guessed it in my heart before coming here, but when Xiao Shi personally admitted that Jin Shu hid things with her, Jin Heng's eyes changed quickly, and he could see that the rigid, indifferent young man in front of him still had feelings for him. A little defensive, Xiaoshi just propped his chin and let out a cold snort, then rolled his eyes impatiently and said,

"Hey, hey, what kind of eyes do you have? I know you don't really believe me, but I really didn't lie to you, okay? Your sister was kind to me back then, so I helped her hide things for so long. Otherwise, if I put such a hot potato here, I would have lost it long ago, okay..."

"What kindness has she done to you?"

"Thank you for saving your life...you should know...we all have an ancestral characteristic of being born immortal, right?"

"kindness."

"The ancestor of the Xiao family was called Xiao Weizi. His real name was Wei Zi. He was a native of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because he was born short and smart, he was given the surname Xiao by the king of Chu. However, although the ancestors of the Xiao family were short, there were also normal people. birth, old age, sickness and death, and the ability to be immortal was actually handed down by a young lady in the Southern Dynasties.”

This allusion was not even mentioned in Wan's family name, so Jin Heng, who was frowning for a while, became a little puzzled, and Xiao Wuyun obviously didn't shy away from talking about this family secret with him, just thinking about it seriously After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said,

"The little lady was exquisite and beautiful. She married her husband Ding at the age of 16 and raised her children at home, and rarely went out. They were loving couples and never quarreled. It was a good talk in the countryside, but the little lady gave birth to After one child, he died due to birth disease. Ding Sheng was so sad that he didn't want to live. He left home in a frenzy and said that he wanted to find the legendary way to bring people back to life... No one knew where he went, but after one night, Ding Sheng died. A strange thing happened in my hometown, everyone remembered that it was already the fifteenth day of this month, but the people in the village outside said that it was the fourteenth day, and they remembered it wrong—"

"And when Ding Sheng's neighbors came to the entrance of the village, they saw the dead lady come back to life, but Ding Sheng who went out to find his wife...had never appeared again in his whole life, as if he had turned into a ghost. A dry oil lamp, passing by like the years, disappears forever."
