When we came out of Liu Laosan's house, it happened to be not too cold that day, and the long-lost blue sky appeared in the sky.
Although Harbin is cold, there are occasional warm sunshine in winter. This kind of weather is very comfortable, and even people's mood will be particularly good.
Especially since it had just snowed the night before, our eyes were covered with snow. We stood between heaven and earth, stepping on the crunching snow under our feet, looking at the endless flow of streets, enjoying this rare warm winter sun.
Of course, the winter sunshine reflected on the snow was very dazzling. We watched it for a while and then went home, but Ma Yunfeng didn't leave either and insisted on going to my house for lunch.
When I got home, I told me about my encounter with Liu Laosan at the hospital in the morning. Uncle Ma was silent for a long time, sighed and said nothing.
Ma Yunfeng leaned over and asked carefully: "Uncle, is Liu Laosan really dying? Isn't it time for God to take him back?"
Uncle Ma took a slow sip of tea, looked at the sky outside the window, and said calmly: "He can realize these few words before he dies, which can be regarded as a little atonement for himself. Be compassionate and compassionate." , Blessings are immeasurable.”
Ma Yunfeng and I looked at each other and remained silent at the same time, feeling quite sad.
Uncle Ma's words were never in vain. About a week later, news came from Ma Yunfeng that Mr. Liu had left.
And I left quite peacefully. It was one early morning, after I had just finished drinking the millet porridge made by my mother, and I was reading a Qingjing Sutra in my hand, and then I stopped moving as I read.
When his mother found out and pushed him over, she realized that he had left.
This Liu Laosan entered Taoism in his early years, committed evil in middle age and went astray. However, after he had nothing, he was able to regret his actions and left without any pain. It was considered that the ancestor took care of him.
It's just that when he goes to Sanguanye, it's unclear what crime he will be convicted of and whether he will be given a chance to reincarnate.
I also fulfilled my promise and gave him a gift of 200 yuan, but I didn't plan to go to the scene. Instead, I exchanged it for him and burned it with gold ingots.
Anyway, the money is given to a living person. Even if he is dead, he can't spend it.
Ma Yunfeng was more attentive than me. He said that we should go to the scene. If people die for good, it would be better to go and see the old lady.
I thought about it, and then Ma Yunfeng and I went to the scene and received a gift of 1,000 yuan, but it was not given to the person who was doing the work, it was all given to Liu Laosan's mother.
The funeral was very desolate. There were only a dozen relatives. None of the former apprentices came. Instead, Ma Yunfeng and I, the two people who were against Liu Laosan, went.
Although Liu Laosan didn't leave much money during his lifetime, he still had a valuable campus house. It is said that there is another house in Qunli New District in Daoli, but the house has not been built yet and cannot be sold.
So we don’t have to worry about the old lady’s life. After all, house is money.
After coming back from the funeral, I told Uncle Ma about the process. Uncle Ma was also quite sad and told us, do you see, you can have no money these days, but you must have a house. This is a fixed asset.
I said yes, yes, so Uncle Ma, when will you give me that store room?
Uncle Ma glared and said, I want to give you a big deal, so you can stop worrying about my house unless you wait until I die!
I said that I would be relieved. With your words, the store will basically be unable to escape.
What did Uncle Ma say? Do you still want to torture me to death? !
Our family was very happy, laughing and noisy. At noon, Uncle Ma went to stir-fry some vegetables, including fried liver tips, stir-fried chicken gizzards, roasted pork sausage with garlic, and a plate of foie gras sausage.
After the food was served, Ma Yunfeng smelled it and said that it was all water today, it smelled so good...
So we happily had a meal, and Liu Laosan's death disappeared.
When we were eating, I mentioned this matter and told them that from now on, there would be no such person in the world, and the legend about him in the world would surely no longer be mentioned as time goes by.
Uncle Ma picked up a piece of pork intestines with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and suddenly said something sentimental.
"So in life, what are you fighting for?"
Yes, death is like a lamp going out, and all the glory and wealth in this life are like floating clouds, as if they had never existed.
Ma Yunfeng has a different view on this. He said that even if a person dies, if the oil lamp goes out, it must shine once, otherwise wouldn't this life be in vain?
I also think there is nothing wrong with this. Who doesn’t want his life to be glorious and dazzling? At the very least, he must prove that he has been here and leave some traces.
Uncle Ma didn’t resist us. He took another bite of the fried liver tip and said: “Yes, young people should have this spirit. At least they have fought hard and have it, but don’t pay too much attention to it and just go with the flow. , letting nature take its course is the best. Just like this swollen liver tip, you don’t know which pig’s liver it is, nor how long that pig has lived, nor whether it has experienced love, nor whether it has experienced love. I don’t know if he is the boss of the pigs, but anyway, he just let me eat him while chatting.”
I thought about it for a while and roughly understood what Uncle Ma meant. He wanted to tell us that no matter how awesome you were during your lifetime, once your glory is over, everything will disappear and you will be nothing more than a conversation piece at other people's dinner tables and a dish to accompany the wine.
What Ma Yunfeng and I said is that people should work hard and live a wonderful life. Uncle Ma said that people should let nature take its course. No matter how wonderful your life is, you should be indifferent. Only by seeing through the essence of the world can you find the true meaning. Self, there is no need to worry too much about worldly things.
There's nothing wrong with this.
After lunch, as soon as I cleared the table, two fortune tellers came outside, a man and a woman. They were both well-dressed. The man wore a big leather jacket and the woman wore a mink.
Moreover, the woman hugged a cat. I don’t know what she was thinking. What was it like to hold a cat out in the middle of winter? The key was that she also put a vest on the cat.
So we sat down and chatted, and the woman said she wanted to see how marriage would work out between her and this man.
Uncle Ma was in a good mood today. He went to the battle in person and arranged a table for them. Then he looked at it and frowned.
I leaned over and took a look. Although my study of horoscopes was not as good as Uncle Ma's, I could tell at a glance that this woman seemed to be married.
As for how to see this, I won’t go into details. It’s all included in the horoscope, but some of the content in the horoscope may not be 100% accurate. It can be used as a reference, but it cannot be directly asserted.
So I didn't say much, and then Uncle Ma continued to give the man his horoscopes. I was watching attentively when suddenly there was a crash behind me.
I quickly looked back and saw that the cat in the woman's arms ran out at some point and actually jumped on my table.
I just laid out a roast chicken this morning!
But before I could run over to chase the cat away, I heard the cat squealing, as if something had given it a big bag, turned around and jumped down from the table.
Then, there was a voice in my head.
"His grandma dares to steal my little phoenix!"
