unrequited temperament

Xie Yu held the piano with one hand and propped the other on a tree, his expression was no longer as calm as before, and there was obvious pain in his eyes.Daochang Min stood beside him with a smile on his face, not worried but relieved.But Xie Yu quickly put away the sudden expression of emotion, his face returned to his usual indifference, he turned to look at Daoist Min: "Master Daoist, let's go."

"Take a rest." Daoist Min frowned, no smile and relief on his face, and looked at Xie Yun with a serious expression.Xie Yun was puzzled.Daoist Min sighed slightly, and said: "It seems that you can only be facial paralyzed. I am so kind and amiable as an old man, and a person with a charitable face actually wants to accept a disciple with a bitter face." Yun didn't even say that he wanted to be his disciple.

Daoist Min started a long speech, endlessly blaming Xie Yu on how unlovable, how disrespectful he was, how he made an old man always put his face on his face and put his ass on his ass, and how he was so stubborn that he didn't want to be his disciple, which made him The inheritance of the old way wants to cut off Barabara...

Xie Yu stared dumbfounded at Daoist Min after he finished speaking passionately, then looked at himself condemningly.

"Is Taoist priest going out for a walk in the near future?" Xie Yun's response was to say something that had nothing to do with Taoist Min's topic.

Daochang Min had one hand on his hips, and the other hand was holding the dust stick, throwing it back on his shoulders and carrying it. This posture was no longer like a "highly respected" Taoist priest, but like a domineering old cannon.Even the expression of squinting at Xie Yun was savage, and the image couldn't be more vivid.

Xie Yu actually smiled in his heart, but it was probably because the smile was too slight, and his face remained expressionless for a long time, so the smile didn't reach his face.However, Daoist Min's keen and sharp eyes could immediately see the mood of his preparatory apprentice at the moment.Can't help but smile in my heart.It is both gratifying and sad, thinking that his old way has really painstakingly worked hard for this future little apprentice.After much difficulty today, the apprentice's attitude towards the Daoist sect has loosened.He had to take this apprentice in quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

"Why are you asking this? Could it be that you are annoying the old man? If you think about the old man, I'll get out of here." Daoist Min made an angry look.

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Didn't the Taoist priest say that I have a disaster in the near future, I want to travel with you to take refuge in the clouds."

Daoist Min's expression changed within seconds, and he said with a smile: "It's so good, so good." He returned to his kind and kind Taoist appearance.

"How old is the Taoist priest?" Xie Yu suddenly asked.Although I heard others say that Min Daochang is not as young as he looks, but rather an old man.Daochang Min sometimes behaves like an old man, and often calls himself an old man.But Xie Yu never knew how old Daoist Min was.

Daochang Min was taken aback, paused, and said: "I can't remember the details, about a century of spring and autumn." Not very sure, he counted with his fingers and said, "That's right, I'm an old man with one hundred and one hundred. It's more than seven years old."

Xie Yu didn't even have to be surprised, nodded and said: "Didn't the priest have experienced all the disasters in modern China?"

Daoist Min's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Yes! It's not easy." As if recalling the past, Daoist Chang looked at the void with vicissitudes in his eyes.At this moment, Daoist Min looked like an outsider, completely different from the messing around just now.After so many years, Xie Yu has gradually become accustomed to Daoist Min's sudden behavior, just like his whereabouts.

It has been a long time since Daochang Min pulled away from the memory.It was the thunder that he predicted before that brought him back to God.

Xie Yu looked at the sky, the sun was in the sky, and there were a few dark clouds: "Master Daoist, it's going to rain, let's go quickly."

"Don't worry, I can't get off. It's just a few thunderclaps. Don't worry about it." Daoist Min was full of confidence.It seemed that he had been standing for a long time, so he found a rock and sat down, patted the seat beside him, and called Xie Yun, "Come here."

Xie Yu sat holding the qin, Daoist Min glanced at Xie Yu's qin, and said softly: "Your future disasters will probably be related to love. But you are still crazy about the qin."

Xie Yu was silent for a moment, then stroked the face of the qin: "This qin is not the love of the other."

Daochang Min pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and shook his head.Xie Yun couldn't comprehend the multiple meanings of Daoist Min, and only looked at Daoist Min with questioning eyes.

Daochang Min: "This piano and that emotion can confuse people's hearts."

Xie Yu felt that he was blunt, and didn't particularly understand what he meant.Daochang Min didn't explain any more, but said: "You reach out your hand and let me see."

Xie Yun stretched out his left hand.Daochang Min stared intently at the palm prints in Xie Yu's hand.There are very few lines on the hands.There are only the most basic three or four lines, without any interference, and the lines are clear, so it is easy to see.But it was such clear lines that stumped Daochang Min.

After a long time, Daoist Min suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I've been an old man for so many years. I'm not bragging. Except for my old master, there are few people in this world who are experienced and accurate in fortune-telling. But I don't want to meet you. The thread of your destiny is always blurry and you can’t see the truth.” As he spoke, he leaned against the stone wall dejectedly, pinching his fingers, as if he couldn’t figure out why, and sighed again and again.But after a while, he suddenly looked at Xie Yun with piercing eyes, stared at it for dozens of seconds, and suddenly laughed and said: "Generally speaking, the fate of non-ordinary people is so secretive, it can't be calculated .And ordinary people are suitable for cultivating the Tao. When will the disciples learn from the teacher?"

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, Daoist. When I feel like praying, I will naturally pray."

Daoist Min frowned unwillingly and said: "Okay." Seeing that he was unhappy, Xie Yu hesitated and said, "Master Daoist, I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate well, and I will fail the Daoist Master's expectations."

Daoist Min suddenly smiled and said, "What is the expectation of the old Taoist? Isn't it just to accept you as a beginner?"

Xie Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly his face was solemn, and his tone contained emotion: "Master Daoist, thank you so much for these years."

Daoist Min suddenly had a frightened expression, and stared, "Yoyo, you kid, you usually have a dead face, and it seems that you have nothing to live for. Why did you suddenly fall in love today, and it made my teeth sore, old Daoist?" .” Still clutching his teeth, with a look of sourness, “If you are so grateful to the old man, don’t just talk about it, prove it with your actions.”

Xie Yun: "..."

"Let's go, accompany me to the restaurant to drink with the old man."

Daoist Min invited Xie Yun to eat and drink on the street not once or twice, but Xie Yun refused nine out of ten times.I didn't refuse today.Daochang Min danced happily, humming a folk song and striding up the road to the market.

Xie Yu looked at the sky, and sure enough there was only thunder but no rain.

***

Today is not a market day, there are not many people on the field, but there are also many.Xie Yun and Min Daochang walked on the street, turning their heads [-]%.Hearing that Daoist Min was coming, and he brought that very, very good-looking man with him, all the people hiding in the store ran out one after another, and everyone greeted Daoist Min warmly.As for Xie Yun, everyone just looked at him secretly and didn't talk to him.This is mainly due to people's impression that Xie Yu is cold and reticent, not very close to people.Coupled with growing up like that, others automatically feel that they are not from the same world as him.That is to say, watching and watching, secretly taking a look at such a beautiful man is enough.Everyone didn't have any dissatisfaction with Xie Yu's incompatibility, but thought that this person had to be like this.

Daochang Min led Xie Yun to Baile Restaurant.There is only such a restaurant in the market in this village.Cold days will also open.As soon as Daochang Min entered, the owner of the store warmly greeted him. The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, simple and honest appearance, and a loyal person. He greeted the two of them: "The Taoist priest is here, please sit down. What would you like to eat today?"

Daochang Min smiled and said: "Here is a bottle of Erguotou. Fry two plates of green vegetables, first serve a plate of peanuts."

"Okay." The boss turned around and ordered a plate of peanuts to the proprietress inside, and specifically said to add a little more. He went to the cabinet to get the wine, and brought two glasses to the table: "Use it slowly. Food will be served soon."

Daochang Min smiled and nodded: "No hurry, no hurry."

The proprietress came out with peanuts, greeted Daoist Min with a smile, secretly glanced at Xie Yun, said nothing, turned around and went to the back hall to help her man.

Daoist Min said to Xie Yun with a smile: "Look, I'm much more popular than you."

Xie Yu showed a little smile, which was fleeting.

There were more people outside the restaurant, and everyone pretended to walk around naturally.The adults wandered the streets with the children who hadn't entered school, and said that the children were naughty from time to time.Daochang Min looked at the people outside with a smile, and occasionally chatted with them. When he saw the greedy child, he called him in, grabbed a handful of peanuts and put it in the child's bib.There were many children, and the plate of peanuts was gone quickly. The adults pretended to scold the children for being disobedient. Daochang Min said with a smile that it was all right.The child won't leave after getting the peanuts, and walks around the table of Daochang Min and Xie Yun. When the adults want to come and take them away, Daochang Min also smiles and says it's okay.When the children are inside, the adults also come in.It just so happened that the proprietress came out and greeted everyone to sit down.Today is a cold day, and it is not yet meal time, so the seats are empty.Enthusiastic folks who came to watch a certain person took advantage of the opportunity and sat in the restaurant, pretending to glance at Xie Yun casually while chatting.

Xie Yu felt very uncomfortable, while Min Daochang smiled and ate peanuts while chatting with the villagers.

The boss was nimble, and soon he and the lady boss came one after the other, and two plates of green vegetables were brought to the table.A plate of water spinach and a plate of string beans.The proprietress filled two bowls full of rice with a half-sized bowl, and said that it was not enough to add more.People in the country eat differently from those in the city. They don't like to use small bowls with a big mouth, but prefer to use larger bowls, and they have to fill the floor with rice.Daochang Min ate deliciously with a bowl in his hand.Xie Yu ate his meals very elegantly, and people looked at his every move with surprise in their eyes.But in order not to hinder Xie Yu from eating, everyone should not stare at him all the time, turn around and talk to other people without saying a word.Still pretending to glance casually occasionally.

Xie Yu got used to being watched and relaxed.Children seem to be sensitive by nature. Although they all looked at Xie Yu curiously, they didn't dare to approach him at first. After Xie Yu relaxed, a little girl who was about one or two years old and still tottering suddenly surrounded Xie Yu. Yun turned around, then hugged Xie Yun's leg with a smile.Xie Yu was taken aback, but his facial paralysis didn't show on his face, he just looked at the kid curiously with a calm expression, and the kid glared at him with joy.At this time, a woman in her fifties hurriedly called out: "Niu Niu, come quickly, come to grandma, grandma will hug you." Jumping to the ground, I was about to climb up. If I couldn't climb up, I stretched out my hand and said inarticulately: "Brother, hug, hug."

Xie Yu hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, reached out to support the child's wobbly body, the child smiled cheerfully, and the white millet teeth were childishly exposed.Xie Yu's frightened emotions were driven away by the child's innocent smile, and he reached out to pick up the child, but he had never held a child before, so he didn't know how to do it.Tried several methods, but did not dare to move, the child is too small, so small.It feels like it will break if you squeeze it lightly.

At this time, the women in the house were all happy.A mother-in-law with a child of about the same size hugged her grandchildren and made a demonstration: "You hug like this." She supported her back with one hand and her buttocks for a week.

Xie Yu followed her movements and tentatively picked up the child.The little girl was so happy that she giggled, instead of calling Xie Yu her brother, she said: "Piao Piao, Piao Piao, Piao Piao..."

It took Xie Yu a long time to understand what piao piao means in the conversation of everyone.

As soon as Xie Yu hugged the child, the villagers seemed to feel that he was not so far away and unapproachable.In the beginning, Xie Yun would respond to him every now and then, and everyone felt more relieved.It is concluded that this gentleman is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

The children all circled around Xie Yun at some point.The sweet-talking elder brother called out, and the stupid one also grabbed the corner of Xie Yu's clothes and looked at him eagerly.Xie Yun was surrounded by children.

This was one of the most wonderful experiences in Xie Yu's life.Many innocent and happy children.

On the way back, Xie Yun's face was as cold as ever, but his eyes were gentle.Daoist Min looked at him and smiled slightly.I am very relieved.If knowing a few brats could change Xie Yun like this, he would have done it long ago.Alas, for so many years, it's not easy to let this boring boy have a little fun, and it's not easy to be so gentle for a while.

Daoist Min began to think about how to make him live happily after accepting this disciple, so that he could truly be at ease.

***

Xie Yu and Daochang Min discussed about going to Yunyou.Only a few days later, Xie Yu's master Zhang Lao came to pick up his newly made three pianos and set off.

That night, Xie Yu called Mr. Zhang and asked him to come to pick up the piano in advance.These three violins are the only batch that Xie Yu hasn't played for two months.According to the negotiated time, the time for the three violins to be picked up by the customer is more than half a year.Xie Yu can go to Yunyou first, and then continue playing after returning.But this time, Xie Yu had a vague premonition of uneasiness.Not sure what to expect.Although nothing happened now, the sense of uneasiness can be said to have existed long before meeting Kong Jiaxing.

That dream, the dream of a girl committing suicide, is still repeated until now, and I don't know what it means.In short, Xie Yu felt that he didn't know what would happen in the future, so it was better to explain clearly what should be handed over first.Three completed violins were handed over to the client.As for the unfinished piano, the good news is that he will come back and finish it.In case of any other situation, please leave it to Master.

Mr. Zhang was very surprised when he received a call from his young disciple, and he was even more surprised when he asked why.In the past, Daoist Min replied that his disciple was not persuaded, so why did he agree this time?Mr. Zhang felt that something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions on the phone.Only the next morning, I drove to the farmhouse in a Mercedes-Benz car.

When Mr. Zhang arrived, the gate of the farmhouse was open, and it was very lively inside.A few unknown youths were bluffing around the fruit trees in the yard.And his apprentice was not there.
