self-control scale

Over the past dynasties in China, there have been many secrecy and heretics, but there are very few who have detailed records, and those that can be preserved to this day are almost extinct.

Therefore, the information that Luo Zijun can obtain from the few words in the ancient book is really too little, not enough for him to make a hasty decision to take this risk for his own desire before he finds out the truth.

What exactly is sealed by the Soul Sealing Technique?

He has no way of knowing whether the soul, memory or something else; whether these things that have been sealed in the body for thousands of years will affect the character and even the behavior of the "container", he also does not know.To put it bluntly, Luo Zijun is now a little worried that if Jiang Ziling is really in the child's body, it is hard for anyone to say whether the child's feelings for him are due to him or the subtle influence of another person in his body.

If it's because Lao Shizi's soul art was injected into the child, causing him to rely too much on himself, then this external force is likely to be the key to unblocking. Become a completely different person?

For the first time in Mr. Luo's life, he flinched.

The office exploded early in the morning. There were poverty alleviation targets in the first half of the year. Two graduate students and a girl who hadn’t graduated from senior year volunteered to take up the job and go to the mountainous area to support education. According to the usual practice, it should be the time for the school leaders to inspect it. Unexpectedly The originally scheduled teacher suddenly became pregnant. It has been more than half a month since it was found out two days ago. This kind of situation cannot allow a pregnant woman to travel through mountains and rivers, and the time is tight. The original plan has already been fully booked. , it is almost impossible to postpone it now.

The meaning above is picked directly from this office.

Look around, in the office, there is a family whose daughter-in-law just gave birth, and the baby is waiting to be fed. The wife also has postpartum depression, throwing things around her arms and throwing her temper. Flying dogs jump; there is another person who has been single in his 40s. Recently, the family finally introduced a partner. The girl looked very satisfied with him. This sweet love has just been talked about, so no matter what happens, she can’t beat the mandarin ducks; There are only two years old left, with cardiovascular diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, who sigh and sigh every year when the season comes, let alone let them go to places with underdeveloped medical conditions with their medicine boxes on their backs.

It's simply not a human thing.

So everyone silently cast their eyes on Luo Zijun.

"...I'll go."

Teacher Luo was rarely silent.

The director next door hesitated and said: "Your family, don't you still have a child? I heard that this year's third year of junior high school is just about to take the senior high school entrance examination. Is it suitable for you to go away for a few months?"

Luo Zijun smiled: "It's okay, I'll just entrust him to a friend to take care of him, besides, he's in the third year of junior high school, not three years old, and it's not like I won't come back after I go, just pass it with patience."

Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was basically settled.

Luo Zijun got up to pour water, but the cup was not held firmly, and the hot water flowed out along the mouth of the cup, pouring directly onto his fingers.

The piercing pain crawled into his heart along the fingertips, and he even stopped breathing.

After returning to the bar that day, the child had already fallen asleep.Probably because he was tired, when he opened the door and went in, the child didn't even move a hair, and even maintained the posture of being buried in the pillow, and there were two big wet marks on the pillowcase.

Luo Zijun sat down beside his bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for him.Looking sideways by the moonlight, the child's curled eyelashes still had teardrops, and his eyelids were swollen.

He didn't dare to disturb him, and only gently scratched the back of the child's hand with his fingertips. As soon as the child moved his hand, he subconsciously held Luo Zijun's index finger, which was as soft and sticky as when he was a child.

Even the tip of Teacher Luo's heart trembled.He sighed deeply in his heart, just stared at the child like this, and sat in a daze for most of the night.

In the next few days, Du Chengyi obediently finished his homework and went to cook as usual. The two ate face to face, looking at each other silently, embarrassed from hair to toes.

The child kept looking at Teacher Luo out of the corner of his eye, but Lao Luo could only pretend not to see it, watching the light on that little face gradually dim.Teacher Luo felt a knife twisting in his heart.

After eating, he packed the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and returned to his room at the speed of fleeing.

In just a few steps from the living room to the kitchen, the child followed him step by step.Ducheng Yi talked a few times and wanted to apologize. He wanted to say Uncle Luo that I was wrong. Can I admit my mistake? Can you hug me and kiss me? expression, was frightened back again.

Luo Zijun actually knew that the child was following him, and he could even imagine the aggrieved little eyes behind him and the drooping corners of his mouth.

There is a hazy layer of window paper between the two of them now, and the only way to talk openly is to pierce it, so what happens after it is pierced?

Either it completely collapsed, or it completely crossed the line.

Either way, he felt that it was inappropriate, and he felt that nothing was ready, not to mention, the matter of sealing the soul was always stuck in his heart like a fishbone.

Teacher Luo didn't even figure out what to talk to the child about.

Yes, I was not ready at the beginning, and then I had no chance at all.

This time it was an emergency.On the red-eye flight that night, I went to the province to take the train early the next morning, and then transferred to the bus.

There are too many things to prepare. I thought about it well, even if I didn’t, I still have 1000 million people who are reluctant to coax people first and then talk slowly. In the end, I was so busy that I only had time to tell Xu Chen to take care of the children. thing.

Teacher Luo returned home, sat on the child's bedside for a few minutes, took away the doll he held in his arms to sleep, took out a pen and paper, and scribbled a few pictures for him.

After wiping his face, he pulled his luggage and went out.

It was Xu Chen who picked up Du Chengyi from school that day.

The child had just learned that Mr. Luo was going to teach in the mountains 840 kilometers away for more than two months. When Xu Chen told him about it, the child's mind went blank, and he almost thought he heard it wrong.

More than 840 kilometers, out of reach.

In just over two months, he's due to pass the high school entrance examination; in over two months, he's over Luo Zijun's chest; in over two months, the pomegranate trees downstairs are supposed to bear fruit.I was still struggling with how to apologize to him, but he turned around and ran away without saying hello.

you are vicious!Luo Zijun, wait for me!When you come back, I will definitely... definitely...

I can't do anything about it.

The child was in a daze on the back seat with his schoolbag in his arms. After a long time, he suddenly asked Xu Chen, "What else did he say?"

Xu Chen was taken aback for a moment and fell silent.

The child understood, lowered his eyes and turned his face away, tightened his arms and rolled himself into a ball.

When I got home, the lights in the house were dim.

Xu Chen saw that he arrived home safely and left first. He would rush back to the company to work overtime later. Li Liang was also very busy with this year's new album. Duchengyi has always been well-behaved, so naturally he would not bother them anymore.

Anyway, this is not the first time he faced the dark house alone. In the past, when Mr. Luo was working overtime, he always came back alone first, did his homework, ate, washed the dishes, took a shower, and then went to bed. The only difference was that, His Uncle Luo would come back no matter how late he came back, he would go to his bedside lightly, touch his head and give him a sneaky kiss, and then lightly cover him with the quilt and go out.Uncle Luo thought he didn't know, but in fact he woke up as soon as the door opened outside.

Only today, he knew how late he would be alone.

Their home is not far from the airport, there are planes passing by non-stop outside the window, Du Chengyi sits at the desk, counting one after another blankly, not knowing which one is sitting on his beloved Uncle Luo.

Uncle Luo wants to have a safe trip, and Uncle Luo wants to come back in good health.

The child's nose was sore, and it was getting dark after sitting for too long. He got up quickly and was about to eat when he suddenly found four single-color stick figures beside the pillow, drawn with black ink brushes. It could be seen that the drawers were in a hurry.

It was a big rabbit and a small rabbit, and children could recognize them at a glance.Because that picture book was given to him when he first met Mr. Luo, and it has been with him for many years. He once asked Luo Zijun to lean against the pillow and read it to him every night before he fell asleep.

The name of the picture book is "Guess How Much I Love You"*.

The first page:

The little rabbit pulled the big rabbit's ears and said: Guess how much I love you?

Big Rabbit shook his head: I can't guess that.

The second page:

The little rabbit stood on a stump, looked at the big rabbit, and stretched his two arms long.

"I love you so much!"

The third page

The big rabbit opened his arms, which were twice as long as the little rabbit.

On the last page, there are a few flamboyant characters: Guess how much I love you?

There are planes whizzing by outside the window, and the moonlight above the head is shining gently.

I love you, it is difficult to measure, but it is better than mountains and rivers, better than the loneliest distance in the world, better than every long spring, summer, autumn and winter.

I love you, please wait for me to come back.

It's so ugly!This idiot is really... so ugly!Thinking of this, the child put the paper on his heart and burst into tears.
