Call back to live with

Chapter 8

Wen Shugeng stretched out his hand, and the child shyly put his dirty right hand on his palm.

Wen Shugeng smiled at him, and held his small right hand with warm and dry palms, pulling him closer to his side.

The old woman was a warm-hearted woman, seeing Wen Shugeng's gentleness and politeness, she let go of her defenses, and grabbed him to chatter about that scholar.

Gu Zhishi turned her eyes away, feeling a little sore in her heart.

Dengyun Peak more than ten years ago, there was a green orange grove in the valley.Every May and June, the branches are covered with green fruits, and the fine sunlight under the thick shade makes the green grass shine with a moist gleam.

The young Gu Zhishi ran up from the bottom of the mountain by himself. He was a concubine, his mother left early, his aunt was indifferent to him, and after having his own child, he looked down on him everywhere.

At that time, his name was not Gu Zhishi, he was eight years old, he was the age of innocence, but he had already endured too many cold looks and beatings that he shouldn't have.

The younger brother, who was two years younger than him, imitated his mother's way of bossing around, but at the age of six, he was spoiled, arrogant and lawless, and asked him to go up a tree to dig out bird eggs for him.

How can an eight-year-old child climb that tall tree?

Of course the ending was a fall, not to mention that he fell to pieces, but it also caused that delicate little brother to be terrified and crying out of breath.

The aunt blamed him for not taking good care of his younger brother, which frightened him, and fined him not to eat for a day.

The youngest child couldn't overcome his appetite, the mother at home felt sorry for him, and secretly hid rice cakes for him, Xiao Zhishi devoured it, but was caught by her aunt.

Mammy was kicked out of the house.

In Gu Zhishi's young heart, indifference and hatred arose.He has never been a person who can swallow his anger. He used to think that they were family.With his father's ignorance and his aunt's beating and scolding, Gu Zhishi finally understood, why did his family talk about it?

He's just being selfish.

That year, Gu Zhishi, who was eight years old, set a fire amidst the chaotic sounds of cicadas in early summer.

He burned down the small courtyard that he had always lived in but never belonged to him.

Looking coldly at the house burning with eerie flames soaring into the sky in the darkness, Gu Zhishi remained silent, and then walked away without looking back.

No one noticed that the child went out secretly, and everyone would think that he was burned to the ground in that fire.

He had nowhere to go, and after wandering for several days, he went up to Dengyun Peak.

Climbing Yunfeng is extremely high and dangerous. No one knows how he climbed halfway up the mountain with his own strength.

When 14-year-old Wen Shugeng came to collect limes with a bamboo basket on his back, he saw the child deep in the dense forest, covered in layers of green light.

He was dressed in rags, but his body was clean. The water in the valley was icy cold, but he took water to wash his hands every day.

The green fruit fell to the ground, and the bones rolled to Gu Zhishi's feet.He looked up at the clean young man who looked like an elf in the valley, picked up the small fruit by accident, and handed it to him with both hands in trepidation: "Here."

The young man smiled.Taking the fruit from the little hand, he played with the round fruit with an innocent and gentle expression: "Child, where are you from?"

The eight-year-old was shy and honest in his presence: "Nobody wants my place."

The unaffected voice and the simple and straightforward answer made Wen Shugeng smile more gently, and he passed a hand over: "Then do you want to come with me?"

The green shadows fell on his plain shirt, with different shades.Gu Zhishi found that he actually forgot how he answered at that time, only remembering that the young man walked in front with a bamboo basket on his back, and he followed behind with a few green fruits in his arms.

The bamboo baskets were too full, and the mountain road was rough, some of them fell to the ground. He went straight to pick them up, and gathered them all in his arms.The faint fragrance of grass and trees also dispersed all the way.

The child in front of him may be as old as he was then.But he was much softer and more lovable than the cold and hostile himself at that time.

From the corner of the eye, I still caught a glimpse of Wen Shugeng's smiling face, and Gu Zhishi felt a little irritated in his heart.Wen Shugeng is the same as before, his temper has not changed.If the child begged him to take him as his apprentice, would Wen Shugeng agree?

After thinking wildly for a while, Gu Zhishi suddenly came back to his senses.He thought in a cold sweat: How can a jealous and narrow-minded person be worthy of being his disciple?

Gu Zhishi suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and walked to Wen Shugeng's side.When the child saw him, he couldn't help shivering, shrank back, and hid behind Wen Shugeng.

Gu Zhishi was slightly stunned, remembering that he kicked his father several meters away just now, no wonder the child was so afraid.

Gu Zhishi, who is about to become an adult, naturally doesn't care about children, even though he still thinks that kick was right, he still can't behave righteously in front of children.

Wen Shugeng comforted and patted the child's shoulder: "It's okay, this brother doesn't mean anything malicious." He was a little embarrassed, after all, Gu Zhishi's kick was for him, but it was a bit ruthless. There are also some who don't know how to explain it.

Gu Zhishi's eyes darkened.He understood Wen Shugeng's concerns, and he didn't want to embarrass him.Although it is shameless to bow his head to a child with the respect of the leader, he will never let his master, who is regarded as a god, worry about it.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to apologize, Wen Shugeng's gentle voice sounded before him: "I apologize to you on behalf of this brother, can you forgive him? He didn't mean it. The kick that kicked your father was caused by me." , it was all caused by some misunderstanding, can you not blame him?"

Gu Zhishi has never blamed herself for not living up to expectations like this moment.

What a similar picture!

When the stubborn and ruthless him caused troubles on Dengyun Peak, it was the same Wen Shugeng who protected him and blocked his sins.

The child's father is well educated and educates the child to distinguish right from wrong.The child shook his head, glanced at Gu Zhishi secretly with his bright black eyes, then turned his head up and whispered to Wen Shugeng: "I know. It's dad who mistook you for mother for some reason, and this brother got angry of."

Tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously, as if he thought of his father's tragic death, but he suppressed his fear and said to Gu Zhishi, "I don't blame brother."

Gu Zhishi's heart ached, and he felt dozens of leather whips soaked in salt water lashing towards his flesh.He half-kneeled in front of the child, and hugged him cautiously: "Sorry."

The child grabbed his arm, tears streaming down his face, and asked in a sobbing tone, "Why did Daddy go crazy all of a sudden?"

Gu Zhishi raised his head and looked at Wen Shugeng, seeing the relief in the other's eyes, he didn't hide it from this sensible child: "Your father, I am afraid that you have practiced some strange formation. I forcibly broke the formation at that time. Well, since Mr. Wen is fine, the caster of the formation will not be so seriously injured. It is very likely that there is something wrong with his formation, which caused him to suffer backlash."

The child looked puzzled, he couldn't understand.

Gu Zhishi couldn't explain it to him in detail, so she followed Wen Shugeng's example and patted him on the back lightly.The child was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I remember Daddy said that as long as mother's soul returns here, he can make mother return to me."

Song Ziyu was surprised: "The soul returns to the world?" He swallowed the second half of the sentence, which is really nonsense.

Gu Zhishi put her eyes on Wen Shugeng calmly, what was the meaning of that man who regarded Wen Shugeng as his dead wife and urged the formation on him?

Wen Shugeng lowered his head and scanned the ground.Gu Zhishi knew what he was thinking, picked up the leftovers of the wooden hairpin and handed it to him.

There is a word "heng" engraved on the head of the hairpin. The carving is not exquisite, but the handwriting is really beautiful, hiding the imprint of deep love.

Wen Shugeng was careful, and soon realized that the man was holding the same style of wooden hairpin in his hand.He asked the child softly: "Does your mother's boudoir name contain the word 'heng'?"

The child nodded.

Gu Zhishi already had some guesses in his mind, he was familiar with the familiar Yuanpan and the formation with tokens as the center of the formation.

Wen Shugeng wrapped the remnant of the wooden hairpin in a handkerchief, handed it to the child, and said, "Since it is a token of love between your parents, then you can keep it for them."

The child shook his head, put the handkerchief in his father's arms, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground: "Father, if you go over there, you will definitely find your mother."

Crazy men complain about women and are always passionate, paying for this life for nothing, and asking for entanglements in the next life.The grievances and grievances are over, and the love has become thinner, but I don't know how to face each other until the end.

Wen Shugeng sighed in his heart, not wanting to ask too many things at this moment.When the child calmed down, he said, "We'll help you bury your father."

Gu Zhishi consciously carried the man on his back.

After getting along for a few days, they also got more news.The child's surname is Shen and his name is Yun, and he is in primary school.His father really deserves the word Hongru and has the talent of photographic memory.

The folk customs in this county are simple and honest, no one has ever heard of the legend of the resurrection of the soul, let alone what the formation is.The three of them speculated that maybe the scholar accidentally saw the art of formations in his early years, and was too sad after the loss of his spouse, so he took the risk. They didn't know that the formations were all-encompassing, and it was not easy for a layman to master. Maybe something went wrong. Only then was the backlash.

However, no one could explain why the man mistook Wen Shugeng for his dead wife.

After several discussions to no avail, they could only put this matter aside for the time being.Shen Yun's uncle lived in Changzhou, and the four of them went all the way west.

Shen Yun suddenly lost his parents, depressed and depressed.Wen Shugeng has always been soft-hearted, and couldn't bear to see him so sad, so he often told jokes to tease him and led him to play.

He is also a sloppy temperament developed in his youth, and he vented his frivolous foundation when he was a little careless, leading children to play some outlandish games.

Song Ziyu had a severe headache and pushed him aside to teach the child to read.

Wen Shugeng leaned against the screen of the inn, and joked to Gu Zhishi, "The man's expression when he saw me was really similar to the one you had when you woke up for the first time." I recognized you as your sweetheart? It took me a long time to calm down after my mind wandered. Is it really a love that is unforgettable?"

Gu Zhishi's face became hot when he heard it.

The man always teased him.Where does the sweetheart say?Except for Fang Shiying, Gu Zhishi has never exchanged more than three sentences with any woman.

Wen Shugeng still stared at him curiously, which made Gu Zhishi very embarrassed.He reacted that way at that time, but because the master who had been thinking about him day and night appeared in front of him, this man's unrelenting appearance was really aggressive.

He also pretended to be wronged: "Could it be that I have no characteristics of my own? When I meet someone, they all regard me as someone else's shadow."

Gu Zhishi groaned in his heart, then shook his head anxiously: "No."

Wen Shugeng pressed on step by step: "Why are you also like that man, admitting your sweetheart?"

Gu Zhishi was almost forced to sweat by him, there was no room for defense.

Seeing his embarrassment, Wen Shugeng couldn't help laughing out loud. He bent over and laughed badly: "You can't help being funny!" The girl confided her love?"

He hates it tightly.He made a joke of him, and cursed him for not being able to get the girl's heart, but he didn't feel anything, so he walked towards the door, waved his hand and said, "Come with me to visit the market in this town?"

Gu Zhishi had no choice but to follow.

Going downstairs and then out of the inn, the cool wind blows Gu Zhishi sober up a lot.In front of Wen Shugeng's robe was blown up by the wind, Gu Zhishi suddenly felt a little impulsive in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "I won't mistake that person."

Wen Shugeng paused: "What?"

The voice that came from my ear was firm and abnormal, like a certain spell that would never change my life and death: "Even if I was crushed to ashes, as long as there is a trace of fire in the unburned flame, I will recognize him."

Wen Shugeng's heart skipped a beat, but he looked down at the tip of his shoe, and wrote lightly, "Really?"

Have you ever misidentified him?

But Gu Zhishi stood one foot away from him, guarding the boundary between master and apprentice, respectfully and sincerely said: "I didn't admit my mistake. It was you who misunderstood my eyes."

It is the master, not the sweetheart.It is to admit that you are right, not that you are wrong.Gu Zhishi did not lie to him.

Wen Shugeng was quiet for a moment, and then resumed that sloppy smile: "It's my blindness that misjudged the affection in your eyes. I'll buy you candy, can you forgive me?"

The author has something to say: Forgive me!
