The greatest pain in life is separation in life and death.
Six years ago, Xiao Huineng watched his father die helplessly, and the pain of being powerless. Once he thinks of it, his heart still aches...
But now, although Huineng has grown to nine years old, facing the impending separation from Xiaolan, who has passed away, the inexplicable and confusing emotions are so worrying and painful...
Hui Neng looked up at the boundless space, and for the first time he felt that between heaven and earth in life, he was the most insignificant, powerless and fragile;
For the first time, I felt that the most powerless thing in the world is separation between life and death, and the most touching thing is the dependence between life and death!
But no one can control the life and death of himself and others, he can only obey his fate!
At that time, Xiao Huineng had a vague feeling: Although people cannot change the fate of themselves and others, they can choose to live and die together with the people who depend on each other and depend on each other for life...
Let me ask: Is there anything more touching, shocking and moving than this?
In this context, although Xiao Huineng was very reluctant to leave his hometown and Xiaolan. But it was hard to break her mother's fate, so she had no choice but to leave her hometown with her mother and go to Wenfei...
Xiao Huineng left his hometown when he was young. First, he lost his father prematurely and was forced by life. Second, he gained experience by going out to explore. There is a saying that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
From another perspective, when Xiao Huineng and his son arrived in the metropolis of Guangzhou, their starting point was so high that they could not be compared to people from the countryside. This also determined that his future achievements would not be comparable to those from the mountains and villages.
The wind is rustling and the wilderness is vast.
A winding mountain village road covered with miscanthus and basil leads to the vast mountains in the distance, and a lone goose flies in the empty sky.
Xiao Huineng, who was only 9 years old at the time, was wearing a light gray coarse cloth, carrying a bag on his back, and wearing straw sandals, and he and his mother embarked on this life journey that was hidden with difficulties and dangers.
…
After trekking for several days and nights, Huineng and his son finally arrived at Nanhai and found a room in a simple inn to stay.
When they got up the next morning, Xiao Huineng and his son temporarily stored their luggage in a small inn and arrived at the Guangzhou Yamen early. They were shocked to learn that Wen Fei had died of illness. Li's legs weakened and she collapsed to the ground...
Xiao Huineng hurriedly walked up and helped her mother who collapsed on the ground.
Upon seeing this, a kind-hearted government official thought to himself: Mr. Wen was not kind to him when he was in power. Since his relatives and friends are in trouble, he should help him...
So, he helped Xiao Huineng find the doctor.
After taking the medicine, the Yamen sent Mrs. Li back to the inn where she was staying before returning to the Yamen.
Xiao Huineng cooked Chinese herbal medicine in a small inn and served him day and night. It was really difficult for a nine-year-old child.
Perhaps it was Xiao Huineng's sincerity and filial piety that brought her mother back after wandering in front of the gate of hell for three days and three nights.
Li slowly opened her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know where she was or where she was. She felt like she was in another world.
Li's body will not recover for a while and needs to be slowly adjusted with medicine.
However, ten days and a half later, although the little Hui Neng was not ruined, their money bags were withered first - they almost spent all the money they had from selling their land to settle down in Guangzhou for medical treatment and medicine.
…
Seeing that his illness had improved, Mr. Li set out to go back.
Li's mother and son left the inn, traveled day and night, and finally got away from the metropolis of Guangzhou, and soon entered the realm of Hepu County.
Hepu County has a developed economy, prosperous commerce and trade, and prosperous culture and education. It is the birthplace and prosperity of Lingnan culture and Guangfu culture.
Hedang Li's mother and son are destined to the city of Hepu County.
As soon as the Li family and their children entered Hepu County, a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman passed by on a tall horse. A bag of things fell from the horse's back with a "click" and fell right in front of the Li family and their children. .
Seeing this, Xiao Huineng chased after him and shouted loudly: "Uncle riding a horse, you have lost something..."
The middle-aged man suddenly heard a shout from behind, which seemed to be directed at him, so he reined in the horse with a "shush", and asked Xiao Huineng on the horse: "My child, are you calling me?"
Xiao Huineng gasped and said: "Uncle, you dropped a bag of things from the horse..."
After hearing what Xiao Huineng said, the middle-aged man hurriedly turned his head and looked behind him, and found that the bag of things tied behind the horse was not there. He was so shocked that his face changed.
It turned out that this middle-aged man's surname was Li and his given name was Longxing. He ran a silk business and was a wealthy businessman in Hepu County. He had just returned from Nanhai to receive a payment for goods.
Li Longxing hurriedly jumped off the horse and asked Xiao Huineng: "Where is this bag of things now?"
Xiao Huineng pointed to the back and said, "My grandma is guarding over there."
Li Longxing didn't even bother to lead the horse, and pulled Xiao Huineng back.
Li Longxing opened the bag in front of Mrs. Li with great relief, took out a piece of silver from it and handed it to Mrs. Li. He said movedly: "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, otherwise, the money I have earned from doing business for more than half a year would be in vain." Done."
Mrs. Li quickly pushed the piece of silver back to Li Longxing, waved her hand and said, "Sir, please don't be polite. This is the capital of your business. My mother and son cannot take it."
When Li Longxing saw Mrs. Li's repeated refusals, he saw that the clothes of her mother and son did not look like locals, so he thought: These mother and son are kind-hearted and do not look like people who are greedy for money. It seems that this sister-in-law has something on her mind and has encountered some difficulties. It seemed, so he stepped forward and asked carefully.
When Li asked about it, she saw that the merchant in front of her was kind-hearted, so she told him about his move south to join Wen Fei.
After hearing this, Li Longxing said with deep sympathy: "Sister-in-law, your mother and son are so unfortunate." "Alas!" Li Longxing looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said, "When Lord Wen Fei was in power, Li was cared for by Lord Wen. Our business in Hepu County is so prosperous today, all because Lord Wen built a wharf in the Nanfanshun area under his jurisdiction and dredged the waterway, making our place an important port of landing, with frequent merchants..." Li Longxing mentioned Wen Flying, like a flood without a dike, it surges incessantly and is full of praise.
Afterwards, Li Longxing looked at Ms. Li with sympathy and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"
"Alas... Now that things have come to this, what else can we do? We can only take one step at a time." Li shook her head and said helplessly.
Li Longxing sincerely said: "Sister-in-law, your surname is Li, and mine is also Li. As the saying goes: 'You can't write two characters of Li in one stroke.' Everyone in the world is surnamed Li. Please come to my house, sister-in-law, and let me take care of Mr. Wen." You two, mother and son, will help Xiao Huineng learn and read."
Mrs. Li waved her hand and declined, "Why do you have the nerve to cause trouble to your family?"
"Sister-in-law, you are causing trouble! My family has a big business and is in need of help. It's too late for me to be happy that your mother and son can come!" Li Longxing invited sincerely.
Seeing Li Longxing's warm welcome, Mrs. Li thought: Business here is prosperous, culture and education are prosperous, and being able to stay in his house temporarily is considered to be a noble person. So, he nodded in agreement.
Li Longxing happily put Xiao Huineng on the horse's back, held the horse in front, talked and laughed all the way, and led Xiao Huineng, mother and son home.
In this way, Li stayed in Li Longxing's house.
Although it was very hard to wash, cook, and clean the house for their family of more than a dozen people every day, Li saw that Neng'er no longer suffered from mosquito bites and insect bites here, and the food he had for three meals a day was better than in summer. Lu Cun was much stronger, and Li Longxing and his wife treated Xiao Huineng as their own son and loved him, provided him with education and literacy, and often asked Li to stop doing these housework. It was too hard, and they could just ask the servants to do it.
Mrs. Li felt bad when she saw that Li Longxing treated her mother and son like family members. Mrs. Li was also a kind-hearted person and did not help with some work. Although it was harder, she saw that Boss Li provided for Neng's son to learn and read, and Mrs. Li treated her well. , it doesn’t feel like hard work anymore.
Although people from all over the world gossiped and criticized her, she endured it hard, accepted the situation, and tried her best to do every job well.
As she grew older, Li's body gradually weakened, but she still endured and endured in order to ensure that Huineng could have a good living environment.
Huineng also grew up and became more sensible, and often helped his mother with things within her power.
Because of Li's kindness and hard work, everyone in the Li family was very kind to her, so she stayed in Li Longxing's house for six years.
Now, Ms. Li, who is over fifty years old, has finally become extremely weak due to years of hard work and fatigue. She is really embarrassed to trouble the Li family anymore. Ms. Li feels that although boss Li's family treats her mother and son well, they are not a place to stay for a long time after all. I thought of returning to my hometown and chose a day to return to Xialu Village in Xinzhou.
