Chapter 175 Busy
At dusk, Shi Xiaoliu went out to hang up the lantern and soon returned to the yard.
Xia Yu had just returned to his room to meditate, and Shi Zelan was sitting under the eaves, propping up his chin and watching the snowflakes dancing.
After Shi Xiaoliu approached, he whispered: "Xiaoliu, I cherish the time we spend together now."
"Me too. We will always be apart in the future, so if we can get together, let's get together more often."
"Xiao Liu, can we wait until you marry your sister-in-law before we separate?"
"Okay." Shi Xiaoliu answered Shi Zelan very affirmatively, but he knew in his heart that after Shi Zelan broke the curse, they would inevitably separate.
Shi Xiaoliu added a piece of wood to the fire, thought for a moment and said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, what you said today was very good.
Since we have chosen the path of spiritual practice, we must also choose to shoulder the responsibilities that we should shoulder for the people of the world. ”
Shi Zelan looked at him and said, "There are always people in this world who carry heavy burdens. If we choose this path, we cannot choose a mediocre life.
Of course, I also hope that the world will always be peaceful. We don’t have the opportunity to fight for the people and things in the world. ”
Shi Xiaoliu listened to her and looked at her: "Lan Jie'er, in the future, while you fight for others' chances of survival, you must also consider your own cultivation."
"Pfft, Xiaoliu, I was speaking with such passion just now, but now that you've said that, my momentum has weakened."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her with relief: "You are the most passionate person among us."
Shi Zelan stood up and said, "I want to try to meditate and practice at the place where Xia Yu had his enlightenment. See if it will be useful to me."
She took out a straw mat and sat down, motioning Shi Xiaoliu to meditate with her.
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and meditated with her by the fire. Snowflakes were floating in the night, and the lanterns at the gates of the houses in the alley swayed in the wind and snow all night.
The sky brightened, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan opened their eyes at the same time. Shi Xiaoliu stood up and took the lantern at the gate of the yard.
Aunt Liu came out to buy groceries and asked with concern: "Xiao Liu, are you going out today?"
"Hello, Auntie. We won't go out today."
"It's cold, and you have guests at home. Do you need firewood?"
"Aunt, we have enough firewood."
Shi Xiaoliu walked through the courtyard gate and then into the kitchen, smiling and saying to Shi Zelan: "If there were no people like Aunt Liu in this world, I would feel that this street is not worth staying on for a few more days."
Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Liu, the Liu family aunt in the east is also very kind-hearted."
Shi Xiaoliu said with a frightened look on his face: “When Aunt Liu saw me, she started to care about my marriage.
She also told me that no matter which girl I fell in love with on this street, she would find ways to fulfill my feelings. ”
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head as he spoke, and Shi Zelan said with a smile: I told you before that Aunt Liu was not a kind person, and you advised me not to judge other people's character casually. ”
Shi Xiaoliu pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "She is more caring than Aunt Liu next door."
Shi Zelan looked at him with a smile. After they arrived, when they talked to their neighbors, they revealed the clear message that they were used to traveling far away.
Aunt Liu next door just felt sorry for Shi Zelan, a little girl. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for her to find a good family in the future.
As they were talking, they heard three "bang, bang, bang" sounds in the distance, and the ground could be felt vibrating noticeably.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, and both ran away at the same time.
When they ran to the entrance of the alley, they saw the collapsed house and heard the voices of a man and a woman calling for help: "Help, help!"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other with a wry smile. They were just saying some responsible words.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at the collapsed house and said to the people rushing over, "Where do we start moving our things?
Don't move it improperly, otherwise it will collapse again, which will be bad for the people inside. ”
"I know how his room was built. Let's first move away the area blocked by the outer courtyard, and then we can talk about what's going on inside."
When Aunt Liu and her group arrived, they saw people busy working in the yard. She clapped her hands and cursed, "A few years ago, when their family made some money, I told them to leave the yard wall alone and replace the grass on the roof with tiles first.
How did their family members scold me at that time?
They all scolded me for meddling in their affairs and said that they had to repair their courtyard wall first. ”
Aunt Liu was cursing while helping with some things, knowing that Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan would come over the fastest.
She asked quickly, "Xiao Liu, Lan Jie'er, was the gate to the yard open when you came?"
"Auntie, the gate opened as soon as I pushed it. Oh, there should be someone else from this family outside, right?"
Aunt Liu pulled Shi Zelan and said, "Come out soon, kid. There are so many men out there who still need you to do the rough work.
You are as honest as I am, and you always work hard for others with all your heart.
We watched from the side and when their family members came back, we handed over the work we were doing without taking a single thing with us. ”
Shi Zelan looked at Aunt Liu in surprise and whispered, "No way, we are here to help."
Aunt Liu whispered to her, "You guys are too young.
I was too young back then, so someone chased me to my doorstep and scolded me for a long time.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law was there at the time. She knew my character and scolded the man back at the door.
If nothing big like this hadn't happened in their family, I wouldn't have gotten involved in their affairs. ”
"Wow." A child of about eight or nine years old was rescued from the family. He cried so hard that bubbles came out of his nose.
"My grandparents are still in the main room. Wow, I'm sitting on the doorstep, wow, wow."
The old woman from his next-door neighbor took him aside, went into his kitchen, got some hot water and washed his face.
The child quickly rushed out and threw himself into the crowd: "I'm here to help. Wow, grandpa, grandma, please call me."
"Cough, cough, cough. Damn it, it's so big, what should we call it?"
When the child heard the response from inside, he started crying "wa, wa, wa" again and reached out to move the mud.
The adults tried to stop him once or twice, but then they just let him go.
Aunt Liu and Shi Zelan were cleaning up the broken mud outside. There were so many people talking and the two of them only exchanged glances at most.
After the two elderly people in the main hall were rescued, they sat in the mud, covered in mud, crying and shouting, "It's all gone."
The daughter-in-law of this family came back carrying a basket of vegetables. When she saw the situation at home, her legs went weak and she sat down directly on the threshold of the yard.
When Aunt Liu saw this, she hurried over to help her up and said, “Nothing serious happened to your family, and your husband just replied.
You came at the right time. We have been busy for a while. Please go and boil some hot water to quench everyone's thirst. ”
