nephew please eat

Chuchenzi's face was still swollen before getting in the car the next day, Yu's father ignored him, and Yu's mother didn't say anything soft. She just took an ice pack from the refrigerator before going out and let Chuchenzi apply it on her face.Judging by the size of the ice pack, it should have just been frozen last night, and it just fit half of the cheek.Holding the ointment in his hand, Liu Xiao applied an ice pack on Chu Chenzi for a while, then he helped Chu Chenzi apply some medicine, and then arrived at the station.

At the security checkpoint, Yu's father and Yu's mother couldn't get in.Yu Ma brought a lot of food, including homemade chili sauce, and small yellow croakers fried in the morning.She explained to her son coldly that this was for his master, and that it was for the brothers to share.There was still Liu Xiao's portion, so he wrapped it up separately and asked Liu Xiao to find a cool place to store it, and he could still eat it when he returned to Beijing.

Liu Xiao thought that Yu Ma would never talk to him in this life, and was flattered to see that she had prepared food for him, and thanked her repeatedly.Mama Yu ignored him at all, and stood aside after explaining, but Liu Xiao felt uncomfortable when she saw the sparkle in her eyes, which showed that the separation was imminent.Chuchenzi called "Mom" guiltily, but Yu's mother ignored him and just put her arms around her daughter.The time is coming, there is no delay, it is time to go.Liu Xiao picked up his bag, and Dad Yu walked over.

"When you arrive, talk to your master about going back home, and call your mother and me about what happened." Yu's father took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, knocked it upside down on the cigarette case twice, and Put it back, "Is the money enough?"

Chu Chenzi nodded: "Enough."

"Be careful on the road, put your phone and wallet away, and don't lose it." Dad Yu glanced at Liu Xiao, "As for the two of you..."

Liu Xiao lowered his head, and Chu Chenzi also slightly shrugged his shoulders.

"……talk later."

"What's the meaning of 'let's talk'?" Liu Xiao asked after getting into the car and putting away his luggage.

"Maybe they didn't think about it, so they wanted to delay it for a while?" Chu Chenzi took off the ice bag so that passers-by would not keep looking at him.

"Will they accept it?" Liu Xiao sat beside him.

"As long as there is no fierce opposition, there will be drama." Chuchenzi said, "and the possibility is very high."

"Thank God!" Liu Xiao clasped his hands together, completely unaware that the gift was for Sakyamuni.

Liu Xiao's rough nerves in religion had made Chen Zi too lazy to complain. He held the bag in his arms, unscrewed the cup, took a sip of water, and handed it to Liu Xiao.Liu Xiao only took a sip, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked him seriously: "What do you mean you have known me for a long time?"

"Huh?" Chu Chenzi raised his eyebrows.

"Yesterday you told your uncle and aunt that you knew me a long time ago, earlier than I thought. What does that mean?"

Chuchenzi opened his mouth and coughed lightly: "Ah... just talking nonsense."

"Then you were the one who made up nonsense when my father entrusted me to you before he passed away?" Liu Xiao sat up straight, with a serious tone, "Are you lying about my father and not writing a draft?"

"How dare I lie about senior brother?" Chu Chenzi hurriedly clarified.

"Does that mean you didn't lie?" Liu Xiao felt that this matter was even weirder, "It's weird, my dad entrusted me to you, but I didn't know there was such a person as you in the world!"

"So, this matter is very complicated..." Chu Chenzi began to talk about him from left to right.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be something wrong in many places..." The more Liu Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that this was a problem.

"Then don't think about it, what a waste of brains." Chu Chenzi decided to extinguish the little flame before he sprang up.

"No!" It was too late, and the flames were ignited, "You explain it clearly to me, and start explaining from the place my father entrusted you!"

"Ah? My..." Chuchenzi made a sharp turn and decided to use bitter tricks, "I'm a little sleepy. Last night, my face hurt and I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It's finally gone now. Let me sleep for a while Nephew, let me lend my shoulder to my uncle, tell my uncle to sleep, be good~”

After speaking, he couldn't help lying on Liu Xiao's shoulder, no matter how hard Liu Xiao pressed him, he always pretended to sleep until he really fell asleep.

In the evening, Chu Chenzi and Liu Xiao came to Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain is a holy land of Taoism. There are no less than a thousand Taoist temples hidden in the mountain, and Xuanmiao Temple is just one of them.All the way up the mountain along the path, the green grass is fresh and tender, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the stream is sweet and delicious. Drinking it makes Liu Xiao feel refreshed from the inside out.Walking halfway up the mountain, I saw a blue Taoist temple in the distance, and Chuchenzi pointed excitedly: "It's here!"

Xuanmiao temple is not very popular, income is limited, and the whole temple looks like it has been in disrepair.The outer walls of the Taoist temple are mottled and peeling off. Walking into the temple, the red rafters have peeled off the paint, and there are large pieces, which also look shabby.Chuchenzi said that Yu's father once offered to donate money to repair the Taoist temple, but the master refused.The master seemed to feel that if he was not sincere, he would rather live in poverty than accept this money.

Guanzhong had already known the news that Chu Chenzi was coming back. As soon as he reached the door, a middle-aged man in a black Taoist robe greeted him.Chuchenzi introduced that this is the second senior brother, and Liu Xiao's father is the third senior brother, so this is his uncle.When Liu Xiao learned Taoist etiquette and met Li, the second teacher couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear, and said that he always thought Liu Xiao was a child, but unexpectedly he was tall and good-looking.Hearing his tone, Liu Xiao really didn't look like the first time he saw him. He was wondering, but when he met the uncle, he didn't expect to be closer.

"Oh, I thought you were a little blue boy, but I didn't expect you to be a blue boy!" The master is a native of Fujian, not only does it not distinguish between "nl", but it is always easy to say "Hunan" as "Fulan".

They were carrying big bags and small bags. When they entered the door, they first met the second senior uncle, and then the senior uncle. The two senior uncles were warm and friendly, took most of the things in their hands, and greeted Chu Chenzi, Take them inside.The Xuanmiao temple is not very big, and upon entering the door is the main hall, which is cushioned by an incense burner, enshrining a Taoist ancestor that Liu Xiao doesn't know—he suspects it is Yuanshi Tianzun.There is a small door at the back of the main hall, through which there is a courtyard with two entrances, the front is for the daily activities of the Taoist priests, and the backyard is the living place and kitchen of the Taoist priests.

Walking to the front yard, the uncle handed over the things to the second uncle, expressing that he wanted to inform the master, and then hurried away.Chu Chenzi asked Master what to do?The second uncle smiled, and said that the master is in retreat in the alchemy room, and he will have time to see you tomorrow.

After entering the backyard, Chu Chenzi showed Liu Xiao the room he lived in.The location of the room is very good, except for the master, the room is sunny and ventilated, which shows how much the brothers protect this little brother.The second uncle walked to the room with them, halfway there, he could only smell the fragrance of the food, Chu Chenzi stopped and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Is the little apprentice that the elder brother took in years ago cooking?"

There are only a few people in the temple, almost all of them have been met, and the only one who has not seen is the little nephew who came to Xuanmiao Temple after Chu Chenzi left.

The second uncle nodded, and said loudly: "Lin Ming, come out and see your fourth uncle!"

After a while, a young boy came out.

The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his ears and nose were red. I don't know if it was frozen or steamed during cooking.He was a little shy, holding a cooking shovel in his hand, leaning timidly behind the door frame, not daring to come forward.

The second uncle said: "He will be 19 years old next month. If he doesn't study hard, his parents will send him here and tell him to cultivate his body and mind for a year, and then he will go back to the college entrance examination. Don't look embarrassed at this moment, just get used to it." , reading cultivation novels every day, and running to the alchemy room when people are not paying attention, wanting to make alchemy. What age is this, and Taoism also talks about the scientific development concept, how can anyone still make alchemy? Do you dare to eat that thing after refining?"

"I dare!" Lin Ming roared angrily.

"Go cook your meal!" The second uncle kicked him from the air, "Be careful, I will sue your master later."

Lin Ming stomped his feet, saluted Chu Chenzi, and went back with a "hum".

"Our master's Taoism is so advanced that he can't lower him," the second uncle said with a smile, "I'm afraid of the elder brother."

The three entered the room talking and laughing.

The dusty room is not small, with two beds on each side.I heard that when the master's school had never withered like this before, three people once lived in this room, but now there are fewer people in the audience, and Chu Chenzi occupies this room exclusively.There was a bed, a desk, and an old-fashioned shelf with a washbasin on it.The tap water in Guanzhong is intermittent, and sometimes the tap water supply is not available, and water has to be fetched from the well.

The second uncle put down the luggage for them, and asked as if asking for credit: "How is it, hasn't it changed?"

"No." Chu Chenzi looked around, the windows were bright and clean, and the bed was spotless, obviously someone cleaned it often, "Thank you, brother."

"Master told me to ask nephew Liu to live with you." The second uncle turned to Liu Xiao, "If you need anything, please tell me or your uncle. Although we have never met your father, we have long It’s very familiar, very familiar, don’t look outside, treat Guanzhong as your own home, stay longer, and tell us to fulfill our friendship as landlords.”

These words were sincere and heart-warming, Liu Xiao didn't know how to thank him, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you uncle!"

"You're welcome." The second uncle looked at Chu Chenzi, "You rest for a while, and come with me to see the master later?"

"No, I've been driving all the way, so I'm not tired." Chu Chenzi said, "I'll go with you to visit Master right now."

After speaking, he turned his head and smiled slightly at Liu Xiao: "You wait for me first, we will have dinner when I come back later."

Then he went out with the second uncle.

Liu Xiao watched them walk through the courtyard, into the front yard, and then back to the room.Carefully put the guitar against the wall, took out his cell phone, sent a WeChat message to the princess to inform him that he had arrived, and then started to pack his luggage.

They brought back a lot of things from Beijing and Jingdezhen, and everyone had a share in the viewing.While tidying up, Liu Xiao classified things.This is for the master uncle, this is for the second master uncle, this bag of strings is for the master, I heard that the master plays a good guqin, Chu Chenzi learned from him, but the strings of the guqin are broken, and I can’t always connect it , I haven't played it in these years.He was busy with his hands, thinking about what the second senior uncle said just now. The second senior uncle said that although they had never met Liu Yong, they were already very familiar with each other.

This is true, Liu Xiao knew that Liu Yong had been writing letters to the Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple had sent several Taoist classics, so there were quite a few exchanges between the two sides.But why do they look at themselves so kindly, and they all mistakenly think that they are a furry child?

The doubts along the way came up again, and he thought of Chu Chenzi again, saying that his father had entrusted himself to him before he passed away.

"Ding", the phone rang softly, and the princess replied to WeChat.

"It's good to arrive safely. How are you thinking about participating in the show?"

Didn't think about it well, or in other words, there were too many things these days, and Liu Xiao hadn't had time to calm down and think about it.He pulled out the chair and sat down at the desk, wanting to have a good chat with the princess about this matter, when he moved a little, a bundled paper bag fell out from under the desk.

Liu Xiao bent down to pick it up, only to find that the desk baffle was broken in half, no wonder the paper bag would be unstable when placed on it.

It was not a paper package, but two stacks of credit bundled together with twine.Liu Xiao was so focused on replying to the message that he only glanced at it and put it on the table. However, the moment he unlocked the phone's lock screen, he finally noticed something was wrong.

He re-locked the phone, put it aside, and grabbed the envelope in front of him.

On the topmost envelope was written "Xuan Miao Guan Chu Chen Zi received", and the signature was - Liu Yong.

This is a letter from Liu Xiao's father.

Liu Xiao carefully picked through the letters, picked a few at random, tilted his head to read the words through the cracks in the envelopes, and found that they were all sent by his father.These letters are numerous, and there are always dozens of them. Liu Xiao pressed these letters with one hand, and it took a long time to realize that maybe all the letters his father wrote to Xuanmiao Temple in the past four years are here.

They are all here in Chuchenzi.

Four years ago, how big was Chuchenzi?He always thought that the person who would exchange letters with his father would be a senior uncle or second senior uncle of the same age. Was it Chuchenzi?

Letters have clearly been sorted, and are arranged in chronological order.Liu Xiao unwrapped the hemp rope.In the first few letters, my father showed caution and temptation between the lines. Most of them talked about the puzzles I encountered while reading the Taoist scriptures. I don’t know what Chu Chenzi replied. I talked about trivial things in life, such as always eating alone is inconvenient, I can’t finish eating too much, and I have to wash the dishes if I don’t do enough, which is troublesome.In his letter, he repeatedly mentioned that he must come to Longhu Mountain to meet the masters. At that time, he probably hadn't become a master, and he still respectfully called everyone a master. It was during this period that he mentioned in a letter Liu Xiao.

"Last night I had insomnia again and had a nightmare. I dreamed that I went to the south to look for Xiaoxiao last year but couldn't find it. After Xiaoxiao left, I was worried and angry. He didn't listen to me and wanted to go to the south with his friends. When he left, he didn't even He didn't even take any winter clothes, and there is no heating in the southern winter, it's cold and humid, what should he do if he's cold?

I worried about it for half the winter, but I couldn't find any news about Xiaoxiao through asking people. I raised this child for nothing, but he didn't even send a letter to my family.I simply went to see him by myself.If he admits his mistake, I will bring him back. Nowhere is as good as my own home.Not to mention the hardships along the way, I went for a total of twelve days, but I didn't find Xiaoxiao.But he found Xiaoxiao's friend.The bastard said that he didn't know where Xiaoxiao had gone, and later he simply said that he didn't know Xiaoxiao. I was so angry that I did it. I was old, and I was punched twice by the young man, and I went home in despair. "

It turned out that after I ran away from home, my father went to find me, and even had a fight with my ex-boyfriend, and was beaten?

Liu Yong never mentioned this matter to him. I don't know if it's hard to talk about it, or because the father and son have a bad relationship and Liu Yong doesn't want to say it.Liu Xiao was confused at first, then angry.No matter how bad my relationship with my father is, he is also my father. I can't even do it myself, but someone else did it...

Liu Xiao wished he could buy a bus ticket now and beat up that bastard of his ex-boyfriend.

He looked down again.

It seemed like a chatterbox, in the subsequent letters, Liu Yong mentioned Liu Xiao more often.About Taoism's reply gave Liu Yong sufficient psychological comfort. Each time Liu Yong wrote a few pages in his reply, he also talked about Taoism, and more about Liu Xiao.Not long after Liu Xiao returned to Beijing, Liu Yong got the news.He secretly went to the pet shop opened by his son in the North Fourth Ring Road. At the beginning, the business was not good. He was so anxious that he even thought about helping his son advertise in newspapers. When the business gradually improved, he became angry again and began to care about his son. After returning to Beijing for more than half a year, he never went home to see himself, and spent every day with cats and dogs.Maybe Chu Chenzi persuaded him. In a certain letter, he began to seriously consider extending an olive branch to persuade his son to go home. In the following letter, he persuaded Liu Xiao to come back, but the two had the same stubborn temper. Living under the same roof, ignoring each other.

"Xiaoxiao doesn't talk to me. Why do I bow my head and smile at him as an old man? He was wrong about what happened back then. It's only natural for me to teach my son. If there is anything I can't say well, why do I have to run away from home? I deserve it!

But he is really not cowardly, and he is very good at treating animals. Lao Jing downstairs met me today and praised him for curing his dog.If he devotes all his heart to pet medicine, I think he can be a famous doctor.

But he has no perseverance in doing things, and the veterinarian hasn't done a good job yet, so he starts thinking about other things.Holding the guitar every day, playing randomly, the noise disturbs the people.I heard him calling his friends, like what kind of band is he going to form?Isn't this going to give up halfway? "

Perhaps after writing this letter, Liu Yong rushed to Liu Xiao's room.The father and son had a fierce quarrel about this matter. As a result, Liu Xiao pushed his father out of the room and ended it without speaking for two months.In fact, Liu Yong seemed to have gone to see Liu Xiao's performance later. Liu Xiao remembered that it was winter and very cold. After he finished the performance, the bartender told him that there was an elderly man standing behind him and watched him all night.At that time, no one knew that he was gay, and the bartender thought he had cheated some girl, and her father came to seek revenge.But Liu Xiao's intuition guessed who it was almost instantly.He rushed out of the bar and yelled at the figure who had gone away: "Dad!"

The man's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back.

In subsequent letters, Liu Yong never mentioned the matter of Liu Xiao forming a band.After several letters, Liu Yong wrote in the letter that he was diagnosed with cancer.

"The doctor said it was in the late stage, and I could live for three months at most. The tumor is in a bad position, and I can't do surgery. The chemotherapy is very painful and the effect is not obvious. I think it's okay. Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao can't get married in this life, and doesn't necessarily have children. If he has no money, who will take care of him when he gets old?

I also didn't tell him that although this child is stubborn, he has a good heart, knowing that I am sick, he will treat me regardless of the cost, so why bother?

I reflected a lot last night. It was actually my fault that the father and son had a trouble like this.Likes men, or likes women, as long as he likes it.If we knew that we would quarrel for so many years, we might as well accept him and that bastard at the beginning.It's too late to say anything now, maybe in Xiaoxiao's heart he doesn't recognize me as a father, right? "

During the last three months of his father's life, one late night, when Liu Xiao returned home from overtime work, he heard Liu Yong moaning in pain in his room as soon as he entered the door.He raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?" His father didn't answer for a long time. He opened the door and walked in, only to find Liu Yong lying on the bed, his face was ashen, his lips were bruised, and his daily drinking cup was broken on the ground.

Liu Xiao wanted to take his father to the hospital, but his father refused to go no matter what.He said it was just a headache and asked Liu Xiao to bring painkillers.After taking the medicine, Liu Xiao was worried and refused to leave, so he sat by the bed and watched.I don't know who spoke first, that night, Liu Yong asked him, do you hate your father?

"I don't hate it." Liu Xiao said, "You gave birth to me and raised me, don't say that in the future."

In a word, the tone is blunt, and it may not be subdued, but it just coaxes Liu Yong to be satisfied and pleased.He took out a dilapidated cowhide box, which contained real estate certificates, passbooks, bank cards, and many other documents that could only be kept by the head of the family.He gave all these to Liu Xiao, and less than a month later, he died in his sleep.

In his last letter, he wrote: "After I left, no one took care of Xiaoxiao. Relatives in the family did not move around frequently, and many of them lost contact. Although I entrusted him to a few old comrades in arms, each family They all have children, so they may not be able to take care of them. Poor Xiaoxiao, I don’t know if I can live a good life alone in the future? I beg Master and brothers to offer a stick of incense for Xiaoxiao during the New Year’s festival. In the future, his life will be I'm going to ask you guys to help."

"I planned to show it to you in a few days." It was completely dark, the lights in the room were dim, Liu Xiao raised his head, Chu Chenzi came back at some time, leaning against the door, looking at him tenderly, "In the beginning, the brothers wrote letters to the master. The master was getting old, and the brothers couldn't see well, so I would write back. Later, I communicated with the brother Liu Yong. He said that you and I are about the same age, maybe your He doesn't understand his thoughts, but I will understand a little bit."

Liu Xiao sniffed, pretended to scratch his eyebrows, and quietly wiped a little tear from the corner of his eyes.

"No wonder..." He cleared his throat and suppressed his hoarseness, "No wonder you said that my father entrusted me to you, no wonder you made a detour to visit me at my house, knowing that my neighbor relationship is not good and people point out point, and try to help me solve it. If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't be able to get rid of the knot with my father until I die. "

"I thought about whether to explain it to you directly, or let you accept it subtly, and then I chose the latter. Only when you slowly figure it out, can you truly untie the knot in your heart." Chu Chenzi walked in front of him.

"His attack was very fast, and I didn't see any clues. He was just very thin, and he refused to eat too much. When I asked him, he said that he was losing weight. He was already fat. He said I would lose weight. I believed it. Later he was gone, and I thought back over and over again, but the clues were clear, but I just didn’t find it..." Liu Xiao gritted his teeth, "I can’t forgive myself, when I was pointed out, I thought—— —I deserve it.”

"Brother didn't blame you, but he was worried about who would take care of you after he left." Chu Chenzi grabbed Liu Xiao's hand, "He loves you and will never, never be angry with you."

Liu Xiao blinked vigorously, the only way he could restrain the urge to cry in front of Chu Chenzi.He is still guilty, sad, and regretful, but he no longer has any knots in his heart, nor will he brood over unnecessary past events.He raised his head and pretended to be joking: "You already knew that I like men, and you really knew me earlier than I thought."

"But you don't want to tell, and I won't tell you." Chu Chenzi smiled, "You are my acquaintance who lives in letters, and you are someone I decided to meet a long time ago. Maybe I have fallen in love with you for a long time, but I didn't realize it until the moment I stood in front of you."

He hugged Liu Xiao tightly.

The next day, Liu Xiao met with the master of Xuanmiao Temple, his father and Chuchenzi's master.Guanzhu is nearly eighty years old, physically strong, and can't speak Mandarin. He took his hand and talked to him in dialect non-stop.Liu Xiao gave him the watch his father had worn during his lifetime, and he treasured it as an offering in the main hall. It is said that there is an ever-burning lamp there every day, which can protect the reincarnation of the living soul and never get lost.

Liu Xiao settled down in Xuanmiao Temple, changed into a Taoist uniform, had morning and evening classes with Chu Chenzi during the day, and whispered to Chu Chenzi at night.Chu Chenzi's trip to the capital has gained a lot, and he has many new ideas about revitalizing the Xuanmiao Temple.He used his dilapidated computer to write a plan, and after submitting it to the relevant departments, he received strong support, and the next step was to seek financial support.He has a grand plan to develop and expand the Xuanmiao Temple, so that the Xuanmiao Temple can also become a famous Taoist temple, and the incense will prosper.

When Chu Chenzi was lying on the computer, Liu Xiao was writing songs beside him. He wrote many songs, and the score was sent back to Beijing. After the composition was arranged by Dazuo Xiaodong, Zhao Min recorded the demo. Every song is beautiful Makes your pores explode.Zhao Min’s WeChat reminds him every day, telling him not to be too happy, and to go back to Beijing when he has enjoyed enough leisurely life, and everyone will practice and record songs together, and perform on stage.

Zhao Min also called Chenzi, with the intention of telling him to beat Liu Xiao, and while chatting, the topic went off track, and Zhao Min started talking about her new boyfriend she had recently made.The little policeman has a strong sense of justice and is cute like an old cadre. Zhao Min finally found his true love. After less than a month of dating, he had the idea of ​​arguing.After hanging up the phone, Chu Chenzi looked envious, turned to look at Liu Xiao, and felt that there was nothing to envy.

My own is also very good—or rather, the best in the world.

Fang Hong kept his promise, and he really did not urge him. He only called Liu Xiao the day before the audition.At that time, Liu Xiao was sitting on a big rock by the stream with his guitar in his arms and practicing a newly written song. He had just written a song called "Song of the Veterinarian".Fang Hong asked Liu Xiao on the phone how he was thinking. Liu Xiao turned his head and saw Chu Chenzi holding the little native dog raised by the Taoist temple in his arms, walking down from the mountain far away, and beckoning to him.

Liu Xiao said: "It's fine for me to participate in the show, but whether or not I want to enter the entertainment industry—"

Chu Chenzi walked up to him, and Liu Xiao smiled and took the puppy with its teeth and claws in his arms.

"I'll have to think about it again."
