blue lotus

In July, the long summer vacation finally kicked off.Uncle Jun said that summer is actually beautiful, and every road is a knot in your heart. If you open it, there will be a novel world waiting for you.Every road in Tongzi Village is paved with his endless memories, which I understand.

"How do you plan to spend this summer vacation?" Sitting with Uncle Jun on the field ridge by the river, the rice is soberly jointing and earing, and the dragonfly landed on the tip of the rice leaf, which is quite poetic. I circled my fingers into a lens circle, Capturing every expression on Uncle Jun's face.

"As usual, doing farm work, taking a bath, and being with you is the summer homework I assigned this year. Don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully." Uncle Jun glanced at me, "Go home for ten days or so. What do you think?"

"I have a lot of thoughts. Angels and devils dance together. Evil and goodness are open side by side. I don't know if I'm in the water or on the shore." I played charades with Uncle Jun.

"Can't you say something that people can understand? It's a mystery." Uncle Jun gave me a white look, "However, it sounds quite pleasant."

Of course, Uncle Jun can understand the implication of my words, which is also his true feelings over the years, but some things are buried in his heart, which is a kind of pain.There was a figure in my "camera", it was Aunt Man pouring manure in the vegetable field, wearing a purple headscarf and blue satin check clothes, "Uncle Jun, don't you want to help?"

Uncle Jun turned his head and looked over to the rice field. He understood what I meant, "It's not very busy now. When she is busy, she will come to see me. What do you mean, kid? Did you hear some gossip from somewhere?"

"Well, my fair lady, a gentleman is so sweet." I lay on the grass, letting the morning sun slip through my sight and fall on the large lotus in the river.

"You're so big, you're so suspicious. Auntie Man and I are innocent." Uncle Jun picked up a small stone and threw it at me, "There are some things you children don't understand, Xiaolei, there are many things in the town You better not know, if you know too much, like me, you will never live in peace for the rest of your life, understand?" Uncle Jun's eyes were stern and hesitant, which contained too much content, as Master Huijue said, his heart was full of troubles , indestructible.

"Are you talking about my dad planting poppies in the mountains? But he is innocent." I defended my dad.

"Have you heard all about it?" Uncle Jun had a painful expression on his face, his brows were wrinkled like two arrow feathers.

"Will my dad go to jail? What about my mom? And me and my brother?" I asked eagerly.

"Why don't you say that there is still your Uncle Jun? Do you think life is not chaotic? You are reconciled to death?" Uncle Jun was furious.

"I just want to know, if I don't feel at ease, if I can, I can even take the blame for my father. At least those who don't meet the national regulations can have their sentences reduced." I was also anxious.

"You? Growing opium? Smuggling? Dealing in drugs? Even ghosts wouldn't believe it." Uncle Jun looked at me with a wry smile, then looked up to the sky and laughed so hard that my hair shuddered. "Xiao Lei, you are better than your uncle. But what do you know, what my brother did is enough to be shot a hundred times."

I couldn't believe what Uncle Jun said was true. My dad committed a crime and should be punished, but it shouldn't be so serious.I don't understand legal matters, but I believe that my father is a good man and cannot die, and I will not let him die. "Uncle, help my dad, please?"

"Xiao Lei, your dad is also my brother, dear brother, don't I feel bad? I regret that I couldn't stop him at the beginning, and I am responsible for getting to where I am today." Uncle Jun looked around the town , emotional, "Look at the scenery of our village, how beautiful it is. Your uncle has lived here for 35 years, which is enough. Don't worry, if there is such a day, Uncle Jun will bear the crime alone. Xiaolei, You go back to school and don't think about anything else, okay?"

My heart was pierced, and I reached out to grab Uncle Jun's hand, "Is there no other way? For example, commutation of punishment or something, does it have to be a capital offense?"

Uncle Jun shook his head.There was a wind blowing, which made Uncle Jun's eyes shine brightly in the sun, "Don't think about it, let's go, go home!" Uncle Jun took my hand and walked to the school.

"Aren't you going home? The road is wrong." I stopped.

"The school is our home. Where do you want to go back? With your parents? Then you go, it is hell for me."

Now I finally understand why Uncle Jun moved out from his home. That home will only break his heart, tear apart all the good things in his heart, and there will be nothing but pain .

That day, Uncle Jun took me to Changshou Temple. This was the first time that Uncle Jun and I visited Master Huijue.

Huijue was surprised to see me with Uncle Jun, "Amitabha, Leilei, why did you bring him here?"

I smiled slightly, Shi Li had seen it before.Uncle Jun sat angrily on the leg of the incomplete Buddha statue at the door, "I came to ask you to ask me about my crimes. If you hadn't kept Xiaolei to eat fast last time, he wouldn't have been beaten when he returned home. Tell me, how do you settle the debt?"

I hurriedly reached out and pulled Uncle Lajun's arm, signaling him not to mess around.Uncle Jun pushed me away, "It's none of your business here, just go and play."

"Amitabha, benevolent army, are you looking for me today and want to fight? Even though you have been in the army before, if you really fight, you may not be my opponent." Master Huijue always had a gentle smile, " Leilei, what's going on? Let's go to the temple to talk."

I thought so too, and I froze without saying anything. It is also a good thing to explain the whole story to Master Huijue and clear up the misunderstanding between him and Uncle Jun.Thinking of this, I persuaded Uncle Jun first, "Uncle, you wait for me outside for a while, and I will go in."

As soon as my legs were about to step into the threshold, Uncle Jun grabbed my hand and said, "Go, don't recognize me as uncle again."
