After dinner, lian'er and I continued to sit down and rest. The old man went to lie down, but after lying down, the old man couldn't sleep any more. I asked the old man what was wrong, and then the old man told me.
"I don't know what happened these two days. I'm always a little restless. After you left earlier, I came back a little sleepy. I was going to have a rest when I lay down. I'm not afraid of the dead man's life, but I can't do it every time. If I don't sleep at home, I will feel that something is pressing on me. I know that, The living have their way, the dead have their way, don't think about it.
But I didn't lie down for a while when I came back this time, and I dreamt about the boss of the rice shop. Boss Zhou was pretty good to me. I would give me more when I went shopping. He also told me that he didn't need me any more, so he didn't bribe me.
I didn't really need to look at his age at that time, or my age at that time.
I don't think it's a bribe.
But last night when I was sleeping, I had a dream of boss Zhou. Boss Zhou was standing at my door and wanted to come in. I went out to see if I let him in. He told me to take back the money he gave me, otherwise he would come to me every day.
I thought it was a dream, but I just got up to see it. There were two footprints at the door. There was a paper money under one footprints. What do you think is the matter? "
"Did you see the money in the footprints?" I asked the old man, and he said to me, "that's what it is."
At this point, the old man nodded.
"Lian'er, go outside and have a look. Since you came last night, you must come tonight."
Lian'er got up and went outside. At this time, there were only me and the old man left in the room. The old man just lay down, but he still couldn't sleep.
I said: "you sleep first, I will not have an accident."
Then the old man became more stable and began to sleep.
After sleeping for a while, I closed my eyes. After waiting for a while, I went to sleep in a daze. I felt that the old man on the wooden bed woke up from the bed. Maybe he was worried that I hadn't slept yet. He observed for a while to make sure that I was really asleep. Then he came down from the opposite side and crept towards me. When he was in front of me, he reached for my neck.
As a result, before he could get it, lian'er came like the wind and knocked the old man over on the ground. The old man looked at me with a red light in his eyes.
Lian'er hummed coldly: "it's too much for us. I thought we didn't see that you are not the old man yesterday. You can really do it."
"You see that already?" The old man's voice has changed. It's the same as the rice shop owner.
"You have too many feet. You don't know that the old man is left-handed, but you are not. There is a red light outside, and only lian'er and I can see it. How can you see it? But you can see it clearly in your eyes.
Besides, you tell lian'er that it's convenient to go outside. I'm afraid you don't know where the toilet is?
And this sweet potato is not cooked in the right temperature. From this point of view, it's natural for you to know whether you are an old man or not. "
"So what? I don't think you're good people. If you die, you'll die in vain. I just use your body."
That week, the boss was a greedy man. I shook my head in a funny way: "if I were you, I would naturally find a deep mountain old forest to practice for a few years and then come out, instead of you, who are so anxious to find someone to replace you.
But you don't know that this double can't be used by anyone. Why don't you leave the old man's house now and try on me to see if you can get in. "
That week, when the boss heard this, he was very happy and said, "don't regret it."
"Say it and do it, and you won't regret it."
"That's good. You look so beautiful. I'll get some benefits from you." That week, the boss was not a good man. He had such an idea that it was rare to die.
I raised my hand: "come on."
Boss Zhou is not ambiguous, and he came immediately. But before he could get close to me, a red light burst out from me. Just as he left the old man's soul, he was gone.
Before I died, boss Zhou let out a cry. I looked at the ghost of boss Zhou who had been twisted and then disappeared. Boss Zhou also wanted to ask me why. I couldn't help saying, "no why, this is your end."
All returned to peace, I looked at the old man's body on the ground and said, "lotus, help the old man up and put him on the bed."
According to what I said, lian'er helped the old man to the bed.
At this time, the soul of the old man floated into my eyes from one side. The old man was dressed in white, with a white face and a gentle face.
When I saw him, I said, "this week, my boss, I came back and dreamt of him. He told me at my door that he wanted my bribe money. I thought that he was really good to me in the past. He never lost half a catty of my rice. Although I didn't eat much in a year, I also had some, so I let him in. Unexpectedly, he killed me and occupied my body. I was helpless, I have to live on the door panel of my home. You think of it when you come, but I pity him.
I didn't expect you to find him. I'm afraid it's the end of him. "
"Old man, it's almost time for you to leave. Don't delay. You did eat a little rice from him before you died. It's not a debt for you to die in his hands.
It's time to go. "
"Then I'll go, and you'll have it." Then the old man turned and walked. He walked towards the Western Paradise. Soon there was a bridge of three lights. He went to the top of the bridge and disappeared.
At this time, lian'er asked me, "mother, do you really owe me?"
"This week, the boss did good deeds and accumulated virtue, but the rice and noodles were all rotten and moldy. He thought that he had done good deeds and could not make the crime worse.
The old man knew it very well, but he thought that it was not easy to get food, because it was irrigated by hard work and sweat, so that he could not eat a grain.
The so-called wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha's heart remains. Although the rice is not good, he once satisfied his hunger. The old man's understanding is excellent. He regards the evil in this world as good, and the bad in this world as good. That's it. "
When I said this, lian'er said, "no wonder he can go to the Western Paradise. It turns out that he is such a person."
"In fact, he is a Buddha and Bodhisattva of sages, but he could not understand one thing when the Buddha said it, so he was expelled from the lower world. From then on, he did not fail the Tathagata, nor the Qing, and then he was down and out for three generations.
I'm afraid I've understood this time. "
"Mother, how do you know?"
"I've seen it, so I know."
"Niang, since you have the ability to foretell, why don't you calculate?"
"The secret can't be divulged. If too many secrets are divulged, isn't that to blame?"
Lian'er didn't speak any more, and we also looked out, the red light that came back again and again!
