After leaving the Buddhist hall, I went to the hospital again.
My uncle's eyes recovered quickly and he can move normally. As for the hole in his back, the doctor said it didn't affect anything, but it was a bit of a pain and required frequent dressing changes.
Now, it is my aunt who is lying on the hospital bed.
But she was very reluctant and kept saying that she was not sick, and that she was fine and had no pain or itching. Which hospital did she live in?
I still haven't told my aunt what I'm about to do for her.
I just coaxed her to listen to the doctor, cooperate with the treatment, and try to go home as soon as possible.
My aunt also talked and laughed with me the whole time, held my hand and refused to let go for a long time.
In the end, my uncle pulled me out.
He told me with red eyes that in fact, his aunt already knew something about the situation and knew that he had a tumor.
But she didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want treatment. She wanted to save money for her children's schooling.
Today the doctor told him that there is still a chance of surgery, but the probability of success is very low, because a 17-centimeter tumor is already a huge tumor and has almost... no therapeutic value.
The final result is likely to be a loss of both human and financial resources.
I was silent for a long time and said to my uncle: "I will find a solution regarding the money. All you need to do is make her feel better and cooperate with the treatment."
My uncle said, "That won't work. You are still a child. My family still has some money and a house. Even if you sell iron, you still have to treat your aunt."
I shook my head: "Don't even think about selling the house. Don't forget that my sister still has to go to school and someone needs to take care of her. Besides, I'm not a child anymore."
I took out all my savings in the past two years, which totaled just over ten thousand. I gave ten thousand to my uncle and kept two thousand for myself.
These two thousand are the cost of establishing a temple.
He refused to accept anything, so I told him: I gave him a stick two years ago, and the money will be used as compensation for his medical expenses.
In fact, when I give money to my uncle, I hope that he can treat my aunt well, and secondly, I hope that if my aunt is really bad, he can treat his sister well and raise her up.
After all, he is just his sister's stepfather.
At noon, I went to Zhang Wenwen's place. She now sells mobile phones in a shopping mall. She was dressed very beautifully. After seeing me, she happily ran out and chatted with me at the back door for a while.
It was the end of March, and spring was already blooming in the south, but the temperature in Harbin was still very low, and I could feel my breath coming out of my mouth.
I still remember that that day she was wearing a red overalls skirt, a floral collar, a coat, and a Motorola V3 mobile phone hanging on her chest.
That phone was quite popular at the time, and the flip cover was super thin and cool.
But it seems to cost several thousand yuan, which is very expensive.
I admitted that I still liked her, I bought her a small piece of cake, and then told her that I had decided to take action.
She was surprised and said to me: "You have been resisting this, haven't you? How did you figure it out?"
I smiled and said, "People change. Sometimes, in an instant, the thoughts are different."
She asked me worriedly, what if I take action now and there will be a real disaster within three years?
I said that I couldn't care about so much anymore. Even if there was any serious difficulty, I would just carry it.
She looked at me seriously and said to me, "If there is really a big problem, I will accompany you."
To be honest, I was very touched, but I just smiled, touched her cheek, said thank you to her, and then left.
If I really have a big problem, I will not let anyone accompany me. I will walk my own path and bear my own difficulties.
The appointed time was soon approaching. I went to Hu's house an hour early. He Yuchen had already arrived and was setting up the dojo with others.
Uncle Ma was also there. He pulled me aside uneasily and asked me if I would leave his house in the future.
Looking at his reluctant expression, I said, "Don't worry, Uncle Ma, I won't leave. I still have to drive a taxi for you, and I have to make money to eat even when I'm out."
He then felt relieved and said, "That's fine, that's fine, but let me tell you first, the 2,800 tuition you paid is for one year, but if you drop out of school early, I will not refund the tuition."
I was speechless. It was not because he was reluctant to leave me, but because he was afraid of giving me a refund!
Hu Ma called me over and said that today is a good day to go out, because in a few days, it will be the Third Immortal Gate Festival in March.
She said that March 3rd, June 6th and September 9th of the lunar calendar every year are the major festivals of Xianmen, and they are also good days for disciples Xiangtong to establish a church.
Although there is still some time before March 3rd today, it is already good to be able to get there before March 3rd.
I curiously asked Ma Hu what the three major festivals of the Immortal Sect were on. I had often heard people mention them before, but I didn’t understand what they were about.
Hu’s mother patiently told me: “The third day of the third lunar month is the day when the Immortal Gate was founded. On this day, Master Tongtian, one of the Three Pure Ones, established the Animal Immortal Gate, allowing animals with fur and horns in the world to pass through. Practice to prove the Tao, accumulate merit, and rank in the immortal class. Therefore, all the animal cultivators in the world are respected by the Master Tongtian. Therefore, many immortals in the world will choose to set up temples in the mountains on March 3rd to practice Taoism in the world. , accumulate merit and seek positive results.”
"The sixth day of June in the lunar calendar is the Longevity Festival of the Immortal Sect. Because the Animal Immortal Family must have a certain age foundation when practicing. If you don't live long, you will lose the opportunity to practice. At the same time, June 6th is also the day of the Immortal Sect. On June 6th, during the Medicine-Giving Festival, immortals who have attained true enlightenment will give medicines to the real animals in their sect who have not yet attained the Tao, to help them grow in the Tao. My younger brother Ma Xiangtong can also pray to the old immortals in the hall on June 6th. Medicine cures diseases and saves the world.”
"The ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is the day of climbing in the Immortal Sect. In fact, it is said to be the day of climbing, rather than the day of assessment in the Xianmen. On the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, all the immortals with animal bodies will climb to their own mountain. The highest peak of the world, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, the heavenly gate will open wide, jump to the heavenly gate, be reborn, and realize the true body. At the same time, September 9th is also the longevity festival in the immortal gate. My younger brother Ma Xiangtong can go to the old immortal family in the hall. Praying for longevity, luck, etc.”
After listening to Hu’s explanation, I suddenly became enlightened and felt that I was one step closer to the door of the new world.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the dojo had been decorated and filled with various offerings.
Later, He Yuchen put on her shaman costume again. The red color was very festive and she looked very gorgeous and charming.
Then Hu Ma lit the incense and He Yuchen sat down in front of the hall.
Before the official establishment of the hall, I have to invite He Yuchen's immortal family to come down and give me some instructions. Because she is my master, she naturally has to give some instructions.
Mr. Zhang cleared his throat, and as soon as the sacred drum sounded, he began to invite the immortals.
"Look at the horse pulling the horse and marching in formation. I am the assistant. Look at the left hand holding King Wen's drum and the right hand picking up King Wu's whip. Let's take two steps for one step and three for two steps. Look at the helpers. I have ordered the old men and horses. Move a little. Immortal of the old hall, don’t forget to bring the four treasures with you when you come to the old fairy’s house. Don’t forget to bring the three treasures with you when we go down the mountain. You see, we have a trip horse rope in front of our horse and a bundle of immortals on our backs. Rope, with the fairy bag on the left and the soul-binding bottle on the right..."
