Sui Yu Tou Zhu

Liang Hecheng's critical illness notice came, and as expected, both master and apprentice were extremely calm, as if the thin piece of paper was not a death announcement, but an ordinary morning newspaper.

Ji Shenyu peeled the apples without raising his eyebrows. He was used to the carving knife, so the fruit knife felt dull.Liang Hecheng lay flat, his withered hair like a bird's nest, and said, "Give me a haircut."

Ji Shenyu said "hmm" without stopping.

Liang Hecheng said again: "Change your clothes and ask for a black satin jacket."

Ji Shenyu replied, "I'll go back and get it in the afternoon."

Liang Hecheng whispered: "There is no need to be so anxious, I probably won't be able to die in a short while."

Ji Shenyu paused for a while, and then peeled faster. After peeling the peel and peeling the flesh, he was tormented layer by layer.Change clothes?Can't die?This is to send him to take the shroud, suggesting that it is time for him to prepare for the funeral.

Three sentences almost broke Liang Hecheng's weak breath, and he paused for a long time: "Don't cut it, is it possible that you can still produce flowers?"

Ji Shenyu twitched his eyebrows lightly, twisted his wrist back and forth, pinched the apple, and cut out a jasmine flower in a few seconds.After peeling, the peel and crumbs fell all over the floor, he finally raised his head and stared at Liang Hecheng in a daze.

"Master, you don't have to worry about it." Ji Shenyu said, "You are not an old man nobody cares about, you have apprentices, I will prepare for the funeral, and it must be done decently and properly."

The sun is setting, and the living will send each other with all their heart, and then greet the sun in the future after sending them off.

The master and apprentice were speechless for a while, suddenly a person came out of the ward, dressed in black, with a pale face, it was Fang Huaiqing.The door was pushed open, Fang Huaiqing walked in but did not approach, stood still, staring at the old man on the bed.

Liang He Cheng's turbid eyes opened slightly, thinking that his eyes were blurred, and it took him a long time to confirm that this was not a scene in a dream, but his merciless disciple.Moving his eyes down, he tried his best to peek at Fang Huaiqing's sleeves, eager to know if those hands were still there?

Ji Shenyu said intentionally, "I came empty-handed."

Fang Huaiqing said: "It's not bad for the two catties of fruit, besides, I don't have any."

Those filthy old eyes went black in an instant, all hope was gone, Liang He was panting heavily, his distended belly made him unable to turn over. "No hands..." he muttered, then muttered in a low voice, and then whispered even more softly, "No hands...it's useless."

Fang Huaiqing finally approached slowly, he didn't intend to tell the story, the evil he did, the fruit he tasted, he didn't intend to tell.The old man was critically ill, he couldn't save him, and he couldn't let him go, so he just came to see him.

Apologies again.

Moving to the side of the bed, Fang Huaiqing knelt down on the ground, the smell of medicine lingered on the tip of his nose, and his eyes met the old man's withered face.He opened and closed his lips, and smiled helplessly: "Can I still call?"

Liang He beat the bed in grief: "Then what are you doing here?! See my joke?!"

Fang Huaiqing's pale face finally had blood, and the red spots gathered at the corners of the eyes, turning into two streams of water, dripping down and dripping on the bed sheet. "Master." He said angrily, "Master, I am unworthy."

Liang Hecheng glanced at him with hatred and anger.Yesterday's betrayal was vivid in his mind, and his liver and gallbladder were tearing apart, and the pain that that tumor gave him was not as painful as this bastard.Betrayal, greed invading the brain, if it is really in exchange for wealth and fame... But what is this?Ruined and ruined, lose both hands!

The old man couldn't beat, couldn't scold, and his half-dead body couldn't even bear the rage.Ji Shenyu rushed over to comfort him, scooped up warm water to fill his seams, he struggled to sit halfway, and breathed out a word—hand.

Fang Huaiqing couldn't hold back any longer, his cold face immediately dropped, and wept.He leaned over on the side of the bed, Liang Hecheng grabbed his empty cuffs tightly, and then let go of them suddenly.Liang He used those six fingers to dig into his cuff, he dared not hide, and let the other party touch his wrist.

The rough scars, the hands that painted people, immortals, and famous mountains and rivers are gone, only rough scars are left!

Ji Shenyu felt sad, and then shed tears amidst the crying.Ordinary people still cannot accept being disabled, let alone craftsmen.A pair of wonderful hands with great skills, can draw gold and silver, can burn porcelain and make pottery, but in the end it was chopped up, rotten, and buried.

Fang Huaiqing kowtowed in grief, and confessed his mistake before his teacher died with hatred.

Ji Shenyu let Liang He take advantage of his wish, while Ding Hanbai and Tong Peifan ran around day and night.It was night, the two met at the street corner, walked to the gate together, and sat down on the threshold together.

The red lanterns are hung high, even in troubled times, it looks peaceful.

Ding Hanbai put his arms around Ji Shenyu's shoulders, and said, "Today I went to Tong Tong Village with Brother Tong, and I am determined to use the old kiln and expand it, and recruit workers from the villagers."

Ji Shenyu asked: "That went well, why are you frowning?"

Ding Hanbai said: "Brother Tong only verbally agreed to partner, but has not yet implemented a contract, and your wild brother seems unwilling. I am afraid that something will happen to Brother Tong."

Ji Shenyu was silent for a moment, and leaned into Ding Hanbai's ear to coax, "It doesn't matter if Brother Ye is willing or not, he can't delay other people's career prospects. Senior brother, I will go to Tongcun tomorrow and ask for you. "

As there was no one around, he almost threw himself on Ding Hanbai.Ding Hanbai hugged him, pecked at him, reached into his collar and pinched the back of his neck, and asked, "Are you going to learn how to drive when you go back to Tongcun? Are you still stepping on the river with hysteria?"

The past resurfaced, and Ji Shenyu retorted: "Then if I step on the river again, will you still throw away the coat that wiped my feet?"

Ding Hanbai said, "Throw it away."

Get up and run!

Ji Shenyu chased after him, throw it away?Think his feet are dirty?That night, she carried his legs and let him step on her shoulders, wishing he could suck a flower out of her ankles.Screen wall promenade, passing through the house and courtyard, this enemy slipped away due to his height and long legs. As soon as he entered the arch, he was hugged, shaking, laughing, and having a good time in the dark courtyard.

Strictly speaking, Ji Shenyu hadn't turned seventeen yet, but Ding Hanbai had already eaten his flesh and boned his bones. From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, there was no luck at all, and he was completely bullied by pressing porcelain.

Ding Hanbai didn't think he was a gentleman, but when he met Ji Shenyu's eyes and Ji Shenyu's delicate skin, he even admitted to being frivolous.

After half a night of fun, when I went to Tongcun the next day, Ji Shenyu lay in the back row and slept soundly all the way, groaning softly for a long time at the slightest bump.

The porcelain kiln has been tidied up and changed, it is not new inside and out, but it has a good appearance.After parking the car and turning off the engine, Ding Hanbai said: "I have brought the contract, you will send Fang Huaiqing away later, and I will talk to Brother Tong alone."

Ji Shenyu sat up slowly: "I brought a bag of pistachios, at worst I'll give him nuts."

Ding Hanbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he co-authored this move.Ji Shenyu didn't say much, got out of the car and went straight to the fire chamber to visit. The porcelain will be fired here in the future, and he can finally make porcelain.

When Tong Peifan and Fang Huaiqing arrived, Ding Hanbai and Tong Peifan went to see the situation of the expansion office, and Ji Shenyu and Fang Huaiqing got into the office.The room was narrow, and the two of them sat across the table, still acting like strangers.

Ji Shenyu said: "Senior brother, the completion of this Tong kiln is just around the corner. It happens that Brother Tong has a house in the village, so you can save yourself from the bumps."

Fang Huaiqing said: "The completion is your elder brother's business. It has nothing to do with Tong Peifan. He didn't sign or press his fingerprints. Even if he signed it, it has nothing to do with me. It can't be regarded as a grasshopper on a rope.

Ji Shenyu pondered for a moment, and asked, "Brother, do you know stones well?" He was a little puzzled when he got a negative answer.Tong Peifan has been throwing stones in recent years, Fang Huaiqing doesn't understand, the two of them have no cooperative relationship, neither cooperation nor ability to survive, why does Tong Peifan take care of Fang Huaiqing and listen to Fang Huaiqing's opinion.

He said: "Senior Brother, maybe you and Brother Tong have a deep friendship. He is taking care of you now so that you can live in peace. After Brother Tong gets married and has children, he will not be able to take care of you after he gets married." He understood that Fang Huaiqing had passed away I have come to this porcelain kiln often, and I must have produced many treasures with both hands, but now they are useless, so I don't want to hurt the scene.

"What are you going to do by yourself then?" He said, "Let Brother Tong partner with my senior brother, and you will also help here. At least the money you make will allow you to live a good life."

Fang Huaiqing asked back: "Your elder brother can do it by himself, and you are more proficient in the way of firing porcelain, why bother with us."

Ji Shenyu replied: "To be honest, running a kiln is only a part of it. My senior brother has to do much more than that, and his main energy can't be put on it."

Fang Huaiqing didn't answer the words, stared at Ji Shenyu without moving, and smiled sinisterly for a long time. "Junior Brother, are you tired while lobbying and procrastinating?" He paused, his voice becoming ethereal, "Your senior brother has signed the contract for Tong Peifan, right? There's no need to do this, it's up to me whether I like it or not." Son, he has hands and feet, how could he be interfered by a cripple like me."

With a bang, the door was broken open, and Tong Peifan came in with a contract. Party A stamped Ding Hanbai's stamp, while Party B had not yet signed.He walked up to Fang Huaiqing and knelt down, looking at people as if he was pleading guilty.

"You bastard," he said.He heard it all.

Ding Hanbai also came in, and the not-so-spacious office suddenly looked cramped.He closed the door and said: "You are neither relatives nor relatives, one of you flees for your life, and the other dares to take care of you. Rescue, support, and even ask for advice on the future. Brother Tong, is your Guanyin reincarnated?"

Fang Huaiqing cast his gaze: "You are much more straightforward than this junior brother, what else do you want to say?"

Ding Hanbai said again: "Brother Tong, you still don't want to marry or have children at your age, are you not in a hurry?"

These words seemed to be cryptic, but in fact they clearly implied something. Ji Shenyu looked at Ding Hanbai in astonishment, and then turned to look at the two of them after reading it.Looking around, the head twisted like a rattle.

Tong Peifan said: "This bastard can't get pregnant, what can I do?"

These words exploded with a bang like a cannon dropped by a child outside.Fang Huaiqing's pale cheeks turned red, and his body couldn't help shaking.Lying in a pool of blood only hurts, but now she is stripped naked for public display and nailed to the pillar of shame.

Ji Shenyu was not much better either, he could never have imagined that the two had such a relationship, he was so stiff that he couldn't give any reaction.Ding Hanbai approached and pulled him, took him out, left the kiln, and went straight to the small river.

In the office, Tong Peifan reached out to touch Fang Huaiqing's face, it was hot and delicate, and he couldn't take it back.Fang Huaiqing's eyelashes trembled, and he cried with a sneer: "Even if you're selling your ass, the benefactor still rewards you with a fig leaf. You are really ruthless."

Tong Peifan followed suit with a smile: "I'm ruthless? I took the risk to pick you up, fed you, fed you, dressed and washed you, I'm ruthless? Your crippled body allows me to toss about it, but when did you not feel comfortable? In the spring No cat can bark without you!"

Fang Huaiqing weakly cursed "pervert".

Tong Peifan admitted: "I, pervert, hanged on this tree of yours." He put the contract on Fang Huaiqing's lap, "I will watch this kiln from now on, if you want to come, follow me, if you don't, just wait for me at home get off work."

Fang Huaiqing had a pair of red eyes: "I'm here to meet the two of them and make them laugh at me being fucked by you?"

This is an agreement to sign, Tong Peifan took out a pen to sign, got up and leaned into the ear of the other party, and said contentedly: "Ding Hanbai and your junior brother are also secretive, no one should laugh at anyone."

The two people who secretly kept Chen Cang were blowing wind by the small river, the ripples kept fluctuating, and Ji Shenyu became more and more upset.Turning his head, facing Ding Han Bai Youzai's expression, he asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Ding Hanbai opened the skylight and said bluntly: "The gossip in the world attracts people, love, hate and personal affairs are attractive, plus the joy of boudoir, how interesting." Besides, the small river, the small forest, this kind of place with its own suggestive atmosphere , so that he can only imagine some unrefined spring scenery, so he is naturally happy.

When they went back, the four faced each other, two of them were nonchalant, the other blushed, it was clear at a glance who was shy and who was shameless.

The cooperation was thus reached. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the holidays for working people ended, and the Tong Kiln was officially completed and put into operation.

Blessings are unparalleled, and Liang Hecheng's life is already hanging by a thread.

In the hospital ward, Ji Shenyu brought a black satin jacket and new cotton trousers, and put them on for Liang Hecheng one by one, but the other person's feet were so swollen that they couldn't wear shoes, so they could only be exposed.Ding Hanbai waited beside him, kept looking towards the door, he notified Zhang Sinian, but Zhang Sinian did not come.

"Master, have a bite." Ji Shenyu held a bowl of glutinous rice balls, he knew that the old man would not wait until the Lantern Festival.

Liang Hecheng ate a little with difficulty, and said with dry flesh, "Little house..." He heard about the partnership, and warned, "You have to be careful, if he goes back to his old ways, don't hurt you."

Ji Shenyu nodded: "Master, I know."

Liang Hecheng also said: "Destroy or sell the things at home. If you miss me, just keep one or two for storage, and clean up the rest." What I am most afraid of is living in the shadow of Master. If you are gone, it is not that I have no help, but it is time to be on my own."

At the last moment of his life, the master only thinks about his disciples.

Ji Shenyu was calm just now, but now his nose is sore and he can't hold it anymore.

"There are 360 ​​lines. There are so many things to learn in each line. If you want to be specialized and refined, you have to practice and explore continuously. It's just a matter of time before you become a master." .

The air was stagnant, and no one said a word.

As the seconds ticked, the dying and seeing off were in a stalemate.

Ding Hanbai said: "Pearl, let Master Liang go away."

Ji Shenyu leaned closer to Liang Hecheng's ear, and recited the essentials in a steady voice: "The utensils must be straight, the glaze must be even..."

The old man took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered—the utensils must be upright, the glaze must be even, the color must be correct, and the style must be refined... The skills that he has studied all his life accompanied him to the end of his life, his voice gradually became low, and there was no more live.

Ji Shenyu brought Liang Hecheng's body back to Miao'an Alley overnight, hung up white flags, and arranged a funeral.During the two-day vigil, some neighbors came to express their condolences, but there were only some neighbors.

The funeral was held early on the third day, and before the coffin was lifted, an antique vase was brought out on a tricycle.Neighbors stood in the alley and watched, whispering, one car, two cars, and after three cars were pulled, the secret exclamation turned into loud exclamation.

Ding Hanbai said: "There are some left, you can keep it."

Ji Shenyu tied Xiaobu, nodded, then raised the pastel bowl for drinking water and smashed the basin.The big guys helped to carry the coffin, and after leaving the alley, they were about to get on the funeral car, and there seemed to be commotion among the crowd watching.

"Excuse me, excuse me...all out of the way!"

A gap opened in the crowd, Zhang Sinian rushed out with the old bag in his arms, and caught sight of the ebony coffin.He came a little closer, and in front of so many people's eyes, he shouted——Liuzhier!

Ji Shenyu supported the coffin: "Master, Blind Zhang is here."

Everyone was surprised, not knowing if they were relatives, friends or enemies, Zhang Sinian looked around and saw the three carts, and shouted: "—Liuzhier! You just leave, who will I fight with in the future?!"

He suddenly laughed: "How many things have you made in your life? They are all fucking fake. I'm leaving, and today I'll add some real ones for you! If you can't take them to the sky or stuff them into the ground, you should listen to them." Let's make a noise!"

Zhang Sinian took out a vase from his old bag, and without waiting for anyone to see it, he slammed it on the ground, and the ceramic fragments splashed loudly.Ding Hanbai signed up loudly: "Golden colored ball and flower vase!"

Zhang Sinian threw another one, Ding Hanbai continued: "Blue and white bowl with tangled branches!"

Three or four pieces were smashed, and the porcelain was scattered all over the place, worth hundreds of thousands.Zhang Sinian sacrificed his treasures to Liuzhier, the only opponent who couldn't tell who was better.After smashing, he pulled the old bag away, turned around and left.

He is like a lunatic on the stage, letting the unknown fools around him speculate.He thought, this is a loss for him, the one surnamed Liang will die first, and when he dies, who will send him off except the apprentice?

No one deserves it!

The funeral car walked slowly through the street, and ran to the crematorium without looking back when it reached the street corner.After half a day, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Ji Shenyu was exhausted after taking care of everything, and when he and Ding Hanbai got home, they fell headfirst on the bed.

He climbed to the window again, opened the window and glanced at the sky.

Ding Hanbai stood behind him: "Master Liang's six fingers are always sticky, softer than other fingers."

Ji Shenyu was in a trance: "Have you touched it?"

Ding Hanbai said: "You were crying at his bedside that night, and he reached out his hand to me, and I touched it."

There was a piece of paper hidden in the outstretched hand, curled a few folds, and the handwriting was mottled.Ding Hanbai circled Ji Shenyu, raised his hands to the front, and spread them out gently, revealing the eight-character last words against the sky.

——Be kind to me, thank you very much.

He rode a white crane and went there without wishing.

The author has something to say: Liang Hecheng: The surname is Zhang, you will show off if I die, and you lose again!
