In the early morning, although the sun was shining brightly, the wind was freezing. The grass under my feet splashed a lot of water stains, completely soaking the soles of my shoes.
By the time I ran back to Tang Town, it was already bright and I didn't dare to stop, so I continued running towards the end of the town.
More than a quarter of an hour later, I finally ran outside Dixiang Lu.
At this time in Tang Town, the streets were crowded with people, but it was extremely quiet outside Dixiang Lu. There was almost no one here.
I took a breath and knocked hard on the door.
As a result, there was a creak and the door opened directly, as if it was not closed.
I pushed the door open and closed it with my backhand.
At a glance, I saw Jiang Yihong in the main room.
At this time, Jiang Yihong was sitting at the table, his hands resting on the golden abacus.
The crisp crackling sound echoed in the courtyard.
I walked toward the main room, my steps were much lighter, and my speed also slowed down, not wanting to disturb Jiang Yihong.
Jiang Yihong looked at the abacus attentively, and his face with Chinese characters showed a solemn look.
I arrived at the main room and stood quietly on one side, my eyes falling on the golden abacus.
Just at this moment, Jiang Yihong's hand stopped.
After he raised his hand, his hands began to tremble again. The abacus beads were of different heights and were arranged in two rows on top of the abacus.
Jiang Yihong then raised his head, and his eyes looked at me with peace.
"Is the matter settled?"
"Master...can you come with me to Gou's house?" It wasn't until I was in front of Jiang Yihong that I couldn't suppress the uneasiness in my eyes.
I was planning to tell the story about the Gou family and Gou Xuan.
As a result, Jiang Yihong shook his head and sighed softly: "I don't have much time. I have no time to go to the Gou family again. There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. The Gou family and the land are in harmony. This time No chance."
I was stunned for a moment. I haven't said anything yet. Does Jiang Yihong seem to know what is going on with the Gou family?
And he said that there was no chance of fate. Does this mean that he no longer has anything to do with the Gou family?
My thoughts were racing, but no matter what, I really couldn't just ignore it.
Thinking of this, I quickly talked about the Gou family's affairs and also explained Gou Xuan's current predicament.
Jiang Yihong raised his hand to me, motioning for me to come over, and made a gesture for me to squat down.
I couldn't calm down, but I still arrived in front of Jiang Yihong and squatted down.
Jiang Yihong's hand covered the top of my head, seeming to be pressing on a certain bone of mine.
The look in his eyes when he looked at me was not only kind, but also profound.
"Everyone has his own destiny. Wealth and honor are in the sky. You have your choice. There is also Gou Xuan. He will come to live next to the earth. You don't have to go to Gou's house anymore."
"I don't have much time left for you, go over there to rest, and then read the scriptures."
"But Master...I..." I still can't fully understand Jiang Yihong's attitude.
Jiang Yihong shook his head again and told me that when I learn housekeeping, yang arithmetic, and fortune telling, I will understand the reason for what he said.
And he also arranged for me to go to a place to at least help Miao Guangyang settle down his family affairs.
My body stiffened, I pursed my lips tightly and stopped talking.
What happened to Miao Guangyang is enough to make me blame myself. If I didn't inform him, his family would not know that something had happened to him.
In addition, Jiang Yihong almost said twice not to go to Gou's house.
It's only three things, so I don't need to mention it again.
Lowering my head, I respectfully said "I understand", then stood up and walked towards the room that Jiang Yihong pointed out to me before.
Pushing the door open and entering the house, this is a simple and empty room.
A wooden bed with a cabinet and a wooden table next to it.
There were some landscape paintings hanging on the four walls. I glanced at them and saw that some were dangerous cliffs. On the cliffs, there were even coffins hung and supported by wood.
There is a big river rushing forward! The river is so powerful that the waves seem to be slapped out of the drawing paper.
Most of them are mountains or villages next to rivers.
When I looked at these paintings, I felt like I was in them, and I couldn't take my eyes away for a while.
After staring blankly for a long time, when I felt my neck was stiff, I shook my head and came back to my senses.
I frowned, always feeling that these paintings were special.
When I sat down by the bed, I was actually empty in my stomach, but I had no intention of eating at the moment, because not only was I sleepy and exhausted, but I was also thirsty and curious about the healing energy on my body.
I took off my coat and green linen jacket, leaving only a close-fitting white coat. I lay on the bed, holding the Zha Sutra in my hand, and opened it again.
This time, I didn’t just take a rough look at the simple landscape pictures on it, but started from the beginning and studied the complicated and difficult-to-read text word by word.
"The person who is buried takes advantage of the vitality. The yin and yang energy swells and becomes wind, rises and becomes clouds, falls and becomes rain, and when it travels to the ground, it becomes vitality."
"When Qi rides on the wind, it disperses; when bounded by water, it stops; when it gathers, it does not disperse; when it travels, it stops; so it is called Feng Shui."
While I was reading, I subconsciously murmured aloud. Even though I was mentally exhausted, I still finished reading the page.
The last sentence at the end of the page is: Wenxiu compiled the two chapters of this record. The first chapter aims to collect the experts of hundreds of schools of thought, geological geomancy, the scriptures of the house, and the way to find burials. The second chapter is to observe the face, feel the bones, and perform divination. Hexagrams tell fortunes, and I hope that future generations will not forget the previous teachings and complete them.
My head ached, and I breathed heavily.
The first page probably introduces the function of this house scripture. I can already see clearly. The last sentence is about the instructions left by the first generation ancestor of this place?
Can we take advantage of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and continuously replenish this land?
The sleepiness was so heavy that I could no longer hold on to the exhaustion. I leaned against the bedside, and my book couldn't be held tightly, so it slipped from my hands.
I slept very peacefully this night.
There was no fear at home, no feeling of being stared at at Paperman Xu's house, and I slept until I woke up naturally and opened my eyes.
My head is extremely clear.
I rolled out of bed, twisted my neck, and stretched my muscles.
Just when I was about to pick up the book again and read it, I heard a gurgling sound in my stomach. I was already so hungry that my chest was touching my back.
I got off the bed, held my book under my arm, pushed out the door, and planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat. I didn’t know if Jiang Yihong had eaten. His hands were inconvenient, so it shouldn’t be easy to get food. I searched and found myself. At least these chores need to be done.
But I didn't see Jiang Yihong at first glance, and the yard was empty.
Where has he gone?
I felt a little confused and started looking for the location of the kitchen.
Normally, the kitchen is near the courtyard door, so I went to the first door at the end of the courtyard and pushed the door open.
What I saw when I opened the door made my head buzz, and I was almost scared out of my mind...
