Chapter 430: The so-called birth, aging, sickness and death
When I heard his words, I felt as if something suddenly appeared in my mind, but then disappeared again. This feeling made me feel that I should be called this name.
Seemingly seeing that I had no objection, he smiled even more happily, hugged me and happily walked towards the nearby village.
I just let him hold me until I reached the village. Looking at the empty village, I felt a familiar feeling again. This familiar feeling made me cry.
Only then did I remember.
I seem to be a child now.
I don't know why this happens.
All I know is that I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, my memory seems to be blocked by something, or I feel like I should have a lot of memories, or I shouldn't be a child.
Not long after, I was carried by him to a room.
I was put in a square wooden box by him, and he covered me with some strange things, but after those things were covered on me, I actually felt very comfortable.
And he just looked down at me, with a smile on his face from beginning to end.
He said: "Little guy, I will make it difficult for you to sleep here from now on."
"When you grow up, you won't need this coffin and this paper money, and you will be able to live."
After saying this, he left.
I looked at his back in the square wooden box. I didn't know why, but suddenly I felt my nose was a little sore, and I couldn't help crying.
As if he heard my cry, he suddenly turned back, but this time he looked at me with a little more emotion that I couldn't understand.
He didn't take me out of the wooden box, but just looked at me quietly. Until I stopped and stopped crying, he reached out and touched my forehead, as if to confirm that I didn't
After the incident, he left again.
Not long after, I saw that the surroundings seemed to be getting dark.
Then a dim yellow light appeared.
After the fire appeared, I heard his voice again, but I couldn't hear clearly what he was saying. His voice was very low, but it carried an emotion that I couldn't describe.
He seemed sad.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took.
It wasn't until exhaustion hit me that I finally couldn't help but fall asleep.
When I woke up again, I looked up and saw that it was already very bright outside. This time he did not leave me in the wooden box, but took me out of the wooden box and took me all the way to the entrance of the village.
I saw several wild dogs.
I feel very familiar.
It's like I've seen these wild dogs before.
But at this time, I still couldn't speak.
I just followed him and sat at the entrance of the village until the evening. Throughout the day, I just looked at him and kept smiling.
I don't understand why he did this.
Just looking at him like that made me laugh too.
In this way, day after day passed.
Finally I can walk and talk.
Although it was still very reluctant, I finally left the wooden box he prepared for me.
There will no longer be those weird things covering me.
I also learned that the wooden box is called a coffin.
I learned that those weird things are called paper money.
Got his name.
He asked me to call him old madman.
Gradually, I seemed to have forgotten many things and lost that familiar feeling. I just followed him and sat at the entrance of the village at dawn.
He giggled, and I was pushed by him to the wild dogs to play with them. When I was bullied by the wild dogs, he would just laugh on the side. I wanted to cry, but he would make me laugh along with me.
Unknowingly, I became accustomed to this feeling. When I followed him, I would laugh with him, and I would follow him home when he came home.
In the evening, he sat at the door and burned paper money, and I followed him. When I saw him burning paper money, chanting and crying, I laughed at him, but every time he would beat me up.
Several times I couldn't help but ask him why he burned paper money.
Who to burn?
Why is he crying?
But he never told me.
Just like that, I don't know how much time passed, anyway, it was a long, long time, and I suddenly felt that he seemed to be getting older. Every time he sat with me at the entrance of the village, his smile began to become forced.
His vision began to dim.
Finally one day, he suddenly couldn't move in bed. When I called him, he just looked at me and let me call him, but he didn't respond to me.
On this day, we did not go to the village entrance for the first time.
It was not until night that he finally got out of bed.
He took me to sit at the door. Just like every day before, he started burning paper money. Burning and burning, he suddenly asked me: "Boy, if one day I am no longer here, old man, do you have the courage to live here alone?"
Go down?"
I don't know why he asked me this, but I didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Then I will definitely be able to survive. What's the difference between one person and two people?"
Hearing my words, he laughed again.
"What's the difference between a good one."
"Indeed, there is no difference."
"It's just..." He smiled and suddenly looked at me seriously, "Boy, can you really do it?"
"It will be very difficult to be alone."
"It will be very tiring, can you still do it?"
I scratched my head and said, "It should be okay."
"But why am I alone?"
"Are you really going to leave?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yes, I'm leaving."
"From now on, you will be alone."
"You have to live well."
"but……"
"But what?" I asked.
"If one day you can't hold on any longer and want to die, don't embarrass yourself too much."
"This life is inherently difficult. Whether it's life or death, it's all normal."
"If life is too tiring, it will be too painful."
"Then there's no need to force yourself."
As he spoke, he put the last piece of paper money in his hand into the fire, then got up and walked back to the bed.
I didn't quite understand what he meant, so I just looked at him.
Watch him lying on the bed.
Until he called me to the bedside and told me three sentences.
I finally remembered.
I finally understand.
It turns out that the four forces of birth, aging, sickness and death mentioned by Lord Taishan appear in this form.
He sent me back in time.
It once again made me experience the difference between being a toddler and then a child, and experiencing the difference between being an old lunatic.
Is this what is called life and death?
I looked at the silent old madman on the bed. Looking at this familiar scene, I couldn't help but laugh.
I don't know why I'm laughing either.
Just think.
This seems pretty good too.
At least, I experienced my childhood again.
I seem to understand who deceived the secret of heaven for me, and who offset the so-called five disadvantages and three shortcomings for me.
