My years as a fortune teller

Zhongnan Mountain in late autumn is not full of rain, but the temperature here is extremely cold.When we went up the mountain, we basically wore down jackets. I wasted a little time because I asked a tailor to make more than 20 cotton robes. This left time for Cui Erye, who used this time to make a lot of big pot helmets.

Fortunately, we have our own car, otherwise people would think we were fleeing or fighting a war if they saw it.Haha, there is no way!We had so many things this time that we almost hired a donkey to help us pull them up the mountain.

In the end, I insisted on refusing, and Gao Shengwen said helplessly: "Okay, this time I will be a donkey myself. I still don't believe that I can't carry these things on my back? Sir, if a tiger is so fat, I will be able to do so, too. Look at me!" As he spoke, he picked up a bag of noodles made of five kilograms of flour, and walked forward with two bags of paper money.

Cui Erye and I met each other with a smile, and each carried a bag of flour-made noodles, a bag of paper money and a bag of clothes and rushed up the mountain.Along the way, we were joking and scolding each other for being too meaty.Finally, before dark, I came to the master's hut.

I just said one thing, and Cui Erye and Gao Shengwen sat down on the ground tiredly.Before they could catch their breath, they saw a gray-brown shadow flying out like an arrow.Pulling Gao Shengwen's clothes and roaring angrily, Gao Shengwen almost rolled down the mountain in fright.

When I saw it was a big gray, I quickly stopped it.Then he stroked its head and said, "Da Hui didn't show respect when he saw his senior brother, but he acted wildly when he came up. Tell me if I have eaten a lot of meat lately, and see if I don't tell Master!"

Big Hui's face was humming on my face while humming.I patted it on the head with a smile and said: "These are all my friends, approved by the master, you can't be rude, you will lose the face of the master and be careful to be hit by the board." Big Hui immediately lowered his head and said I turn around.

"This dog is really fierce!" Gao Shengwen said to me while rubbing his arms: "Why does your master, an old man, raise such a fierce dog? There are no thieves here in the barren mountains and mountains, and they will do something to such a fierce dog." Well?"

"Dog?" I looked at Gao Shengwen in amazement and said, "You don't have any common sense, can you take a good look at this dog? Is there such a handsome dog? Really, our big gray is a wolf, a veritable Zhongnanshan wolf !"

"Ah?" Second Master Cui and Gao Shengwen exclaimed in surprise.I picked up the things, and while walking forward with them, I told the story of Master saving Dahui back then. Cui Erye and Gao Shengwen smacked their lips.

After arriving at our resting place, I arranged for Cui Erye and Gao Shengwen to put things away.After offering incense to the patriarch, he went outside to get some wood to make a fire and boil water for cooking.Gao Shengwen and Cui Erye looked at my busy figure and didn't know how to help, so they just stood aside.

After the water was boiled, I made tea for them.He cooked the dry noodles brought today and served a bowl for each of them.Put some chili noodles, pour hot oil on them and hand them over, saying, "Eat, this is the unique oil-splashed noodles of Zhongnan Mountain."

Gao Shengwen and Cui Erye glanced at each other, and said while eating: "Huzi, do you all live like this when you come here? It's too hard, if it was me, I would have run down the mountain."

"Hehe!" I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm actually a city kid. I didn't get used to it at first, especially the oily noodles, which I couldn't get used to even at the foot of the mountain. Don't say it's made on the mountain. It's like this, but I don't know how I persisted. You see, what I drink here is unpolluted mountain spring, and what I eat is vegetables without additives, what more do I ask for?"

Cui Erye shook his head and said to me: "It's unimaginable, it's really unimaginable. I never thought that there are still people living in such a place? By the way, Huzi! How many people practice here? Do they all live in such a place? ?”

"Many!" I took a mouthful of noodles and said, "According to incomplete statistics, there should be thousands of people. They all live scattered, except for some people who communicate with each other. The rest of the people are unwilling to communicate, so generally I can’t find anyone. Besides, I’m here for cultivation, who wants to chat with friends for nothing. Some people live in thatched huts like us, and some people live in caves. Everyone will reclaim some land, grow some vegetables or Traditional Chinese medicine. The food is very simple, some people go down the mountain to exchange for food, and some people are sent up by apprentices." When I said this, I smiled.

After eating the old habit of noodles, I wiped the bowl with a small toothed pot helmet.Seeing this, Second Master Cui said to me: "No wonder Huzi doesn't see a grain of rice in the bowl every time he finishes eating, and sometimes he washes the bowl with water. It turns out that he learned it here."

I smiled and said to Cui Erye: "Who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work. We don't know how many people can be fed by the food we waste in a day. But who knows that these things are not easy to come by, I can't ask everyone Do this. At least I want to do it, I can do it myself." Cui Erye nodded.

I saw that they were all finished eating, so I scooped up a bowl of hot noodle soup for each of them and said, "Since you have come to the mountain, take off your disguises and stop thinking about those messy things. Eat and drink as you need. This hot noodle soup is the most nutritious in a meal."

Cui Erye nodded, and said to Gao Shengwen: "This meal is the simplest meal I have eaten, and it is also the most common. But there is a big truth in it, hey! It seems that I have lived such a long life in vain. .”

Gao Shengwen also nodded, and said to me: "It can be said that this is the lightest meal I have eaten, without any oil or water. I would definitely not eat it normally, but today I ate the most delicious meal. Huzi, I Thank you." After finishing speaking, he cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes.

I didn't stop him, I didn't think it was necessary.The purpose of coming here is to let go of the burden on the body, to take a new look at yourself and get to know yourself.Brother Gao Shengwen, if he can wash the dishes, he must understand something.

I tidied up the room where my brother and I lived, and gave Cui Erye and Gao Shengwen the best mattresses and quilts.The three of us didn't take off our clothes at night, we just lay down and chatted together until dawn before falling asleep for a while.

The next morning, before dawn, I heard Dahui call me outside, and I rushed out.Unexpectedly, overnight, Zhongnan Mountain had already been covered with a thick layer of snow.It would be a surprise down here, but I'm used to it here.In April of previous years, there was snow on Zhongnan Mountain.

I stretched out and scrubbed my face with snow water.Then I moved around in the snow and started to sweep the snow with a broom.The big gray came running for a while, and ran away for a while, not knowing what he was doing.Amid all the snow, only the chrysanthemum transplanted with Master is still so delicate and beautiful.

I had just swept the snow when I heard the voices of Gao Shengwen and Cui Erye talking behind me.I looked back, Gao Shengwen rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh my god, it snowed so thickly in one night. Huzi, you didn't even call us to sweep the snow. We came here to help you!"

I smiled and said to them: "Do you see the plum blossoms under the white snow are beautiful? Do you now know the meaning of the fragrance of plum blossoms coming from the bitter cold?" After speaking, I looked back at them and continued to smile.

Cui Erye and Gao Shengwen seem to have noticed it only now, and after looking at it for a long time, they said to me: "My God, why didn't I see anything yesterday. Huzi, where did this plum blossom come from? When did it bloom? We returned it yesterday. Really didn't see it."

"Haha!" I said with a smile: "I told you to come here to let go of the burden in your heart, but you just don't understand. These plum blossoms were here yesterday and the day before yesterday. It's just that you don't have plum blossoms in your eyes, only the plum blossoms in the world of mortals. Those things. So you didn't see the plum blossoms, so it seems that you came here for nothing."

"Haha!" A person said with a smile: "As expected of the disciple of Shui Laodao, he actually wakes up ordinary people by looking at plum blossoms. Not bad, not bad! Great progress. Hahaha!" Upon hearing this voice, I immediately knew Master Xuanhe Uncle is here.So I tidied up and opened the fence gate to welcome my uncle.
