Chapter 49 Father and Son Meet Finally
Wei Wu and Wei Hu came to Wei Wu's grave.
"Xiao Wu! Then I will go back to the village. You should go back too! Xiao Laizi is still waiting for you in the village! Think about it after you go back."
"Okay! Brother Tiger!"
Wei Wu liked to enter and leave Youshen Village from his own tomb. He usually didn't find his tomb so desolate. Today, perhaps because his son was waiting for him in the village, he felt that the overgrown tomb was very desolate.
"Let's see how I deal with you when I get back! I haven't seen you come to visit your father's grave in ten years." Wei Wu muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing! Brother Hu, please go back and rest quickly! You have been busy for most of the night!"
"Oh!" Wei Hu smiled.
In fact, Wei Hu heard it all. When he heard that Wei Wu was going to deal with Xiao Laizi, he felt a little happy in his heart, which meant that Wei Wu was able to face Xiao Laizi with a normal heart, which was a good thing.
"Gone!" Wei Wu said and disappeared from the tombstone.
"Alas! I wonder if you lost money on this transaction?" Wei Hu watched Wei Wu disappear, muttered something incomprehensible, and walked towards the village.
"It's almost dawn. Where has my father gone?" Wei Lai knelt in front of his ancestor's memorial tablet for half the night. He hadn't seen his father come back yet, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Brother! Don't worry. Since Master Wu promised that he will be back before dawn, there is still an hour before dawn!"
"Even so, it's been ten years. I haven't seen his old man for ten years. How can I not miss him? How can I not be anxious?" Wei Lai said with emotion.
"I see you don't miss your father at all!"
At this time, a voice came from the door of the ancestral hall. This voice was so familiar and kind. I had not heard it in ten years.
"Dad!" Wei Lai only called Dad, and he could no longer hold back the longing in his heart, and tears burst out of his eyes. He stood up from the futon, turned around and ran towards the door.
Wei Lai threw himself into the old man's arms like a child.
"Dad!" Wei Lai cried wantonly in the old man's arms, releasing his thoughts and emotions wantonly. In front of his father, he was no longer a strong man, nor a three-foot god.
Rather, he is a child who has been wronged, a son who misses his father.
Ye Feihua watched Wei Lai and his son meet each other, and saw Wei Lai crying loudly. Her heart was inevitably moved, and her eyes were filled with tears.
When Wei Wu heard his son's call "Dad" again, tears instantly flowed down. He hadn't heard his son call him "Dad" in ten years. This sound of "Dad" was once so familiar. Ten years is not a long time, nor is it a short time.
, but for the father and son, it seemed like a lifetime. Wei Lai thought he would never see his father again in this life, and Wei Wu thought he would never have the chance to protect his children in this life. But he never expected that he could still be in Youshen Village.
See you again.
Wei Wu patted his son's back gently, without saying anything. For Wei Lai at this time, no amount of words could compare to his father's tight hug, and he could once again feel the warmth and warmth of his father by his side.
Safety.
After a long time, Wei Lai seemed to have released all his emotions. Wei Wu held his son's shoulders with both hands and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "How old are you? You are still like a child. Look how you cry.
, your colleagues will be laughing around you!"
"No matter how old I am, I am still your son!"
"Okay! Okay! Your colleague is still here!"
Seeing that the father and son were fine, Ye Feihua walked up to them and respectfully called Lord Wu.
"I'm telling you a joke!" Wei Lai said.
"No! No! It's only human nature!"
"You must be Xiaoye!"
"Master Wu! I am!"
"Stop calling me Lord Wu, call me uncle!"
"good!"
"Xiaoye! Uncle, I have to thank you very much." After saying that, Wei Wu grabbed Ye Feihua's hand with both hands and said sincerely: "Thanks to you, otherwise, my granddaughter would not have been able to escape this disaster!"
"This is what I should do!"
"Xiao Laizi, please thank Xiao Ye properly, and help him in the future to repay Xiao Ye's kindness!"
"Uncle, you are serious!"
Wei Wu didn't say much, as it would be pretentious to say too much.
"Do you know why I asked you to come to the ancestral temple and kneel down to worship your ancestors?" Wei Wu turned to Wei Lai.
"My son is unfilial! He failed to take good care of his mother, and he failed to fulfill his responsibility as a father and take good care of Li'er!" Wei Lai lowered his head and confessed his mistake to his father.
"Yeah! Not bad! You can still realize your mistakes! Is there anything else?"
"what else?"
"Didn't you see that the grass on my grave is as deep as one person? Haven't you thought about sweeping dad's grave or weeding it in all these years?"
"I...I..." In the past ten years, Wei rarely came to visit his father's grave. Firstly, because he had no free time when he was busy working in his previous life. Secondly, after the company closed down, he entered the lowest point in his life and could only get drunk all day long.
.
Wei Wu looked at Wei Lai's guilty look and began to feel sorry for his son again. He had no intention of blaming his son at first, but just wanted to make a little joke with him: "Don't take it from me. Dad didn't blame you. No matter how repaired the tomb is,
Beautiful and clean, it is just an entrance to the villagers of Youshen Village. However, you did not fulfill your responsibilities as a son and father during your lifetime and did not take good care of your mother and Li'er. You should reflect on this carefully.
It’s over!”
"My son realized his mistake, but it was too late. I regret it so much that my intestines are green!" Wei Lai confessed in front of his father.
"Alright! Don't confess in front of your ancestors. I won't be able to stop them if they come out to beat you, haha..." Wei Wu stopped because he was afraid that if he continued talking like this, he would only embarrass his son.
This topic: "Let's go! Come and sit at my place! I haven't been here for a day, and I'm really worried that Wei Xiao's ancestor will steal my chicken again!"
"Is that child really the ancestor of our Wei family?" Wei Lai and Ye Feihua followed Wei Wu out of the ancestral temple and walked towards Wei Wu's residence.
"That's not bad! He is lawless in the village and no one can do anything to him. Although he is an ancestor, he looks like a child and can only be coaxed!" Wei Wu said with a smile.
"That is indeed a living ancestor who is not easy to mess with!" Wei Lai and Ye Feihua both laughed heartily.
The three of them chatted and walked, and soon arrived at Wei Wu's residence. It was an independent courtyard. There was a willow tree in front of the courtyard. It wasn't too tall, but it was about ten centimeters thick.
"This willow tree is quite lush!" Wei Lai said.
"Do you know the origin of this tree?" Wei Wu asked.
"Is there anything special about this tree?"
"Don't you think this tree looks familiar?"
"It looks familiar!"
"This tree seems to be exactly the same as the willow tree next to my uncle's tomb in the underworld!" Ye Feihua seemed to have discovered the unusualness of this willow tree a long time ago.
"It's true!" After Ye Feihua reminded him, Wei Lai also reacted.
"Xiaoye observes very carefully!" Wei Wu said with a smile, and then tested the two of them: "Do you know the origin of this tree?"
"I only know that willows are a type of shady tree. In rural areas, it is taboo to plant willows in front of doors because they are said to be detrimental to homes. No matter how many there are, I haven't done much research on them!" Ye Feihua said.
Wei Lai, on the other hand, was more straightforward and shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Wei Wu saw Wei Lai's performance and laughed and scolded: "Xiaoye doesn't know it's excusable. How come you don't know either? Did you plant this tree?"
"I planted it? This is my first time coming to Youshen Village!" Wei Lai said in surprise.
"Let me ask you, what did you hold in your hand when your father and I were buried?"
"What did you take? It seems to be a stick, it should be called a mourning stick!"
"What material is the mourning stick made of?"
"It seems to be made of willow branches! Could this tree be..."
"That's right! This tree is the transformation of a mourning stick. In the human world, when an old man dies and is buried, his children will carry a mourning stick to the funeral. When the old man is buried, the mourning stick will be buried together in front of the grave. If the children are more filial,
Filial piety will help this mourning stick take root and sprout, and eventually grow into a big tree in the sun. Therefore, the willow tree you saw in front of my grave is still relatively lush. It shows that you are still a filial piety, and I am also very fond of you.
Comfort." Wei Wu was quite happy when he talked about this. The willow tree in his residence in the underworld was also his pride, because it grew stronger than other people's willow trees.
"There is another theory, but doesn't it grow in front of the tomb? How come you can see the same willow tree in Youshen Village?" Wei Lai hasn't figured it out yet.
"Xiaoye knows why?"
When Ye Feihua saw Wei Wu's question, she expressed her thoughts: "I think the reason why willow trees are called yin trees may be because they can grow in the underworld. Willows cannot be planted in front of the house in the yang world."
It's because willows attract ghosts and are bad for the house. But in the underworld, it's just the opposite. Planting willows in front of the door may help nourish the soul. As for why there are willows in front of graves and there are willows in front of Youshen Village, maybe this is the willow tree.
The strange thing is that it can be twinned with yin and yang, but the specific method of twining yin and yang is unknown!"
"Xiaoye's guesses are basically correct, and they all hit the point. Although I am just a lonely ghost from Youshen Village, I still want to take the liberty to teach you something. You must be able to analyze things deeply when you encounter them. As the three of you,
Ruler God, you will definitely encounter all kinds of wonderful or impossible things in the future. If you analyze it deeply, you may be able to analyze the root cause of the problem and solve the problem or see the problem clearly. Take this willow tree for example.
In the future, when you encounter a willow tree growing in front of a grave, you can judge that his or her children may be relatively filial people. Although whether a willow tree growing in front of a grave is not the only criterion for judging whether a child is filial or not, even if a mourning stick is buried in front of the grave,
It may not be able to take root and sprout. This is related to many factors. Filial piety is only one of the factors. It can also be said to be just a nutrient, but at least it can be used as a reference. Therefore, the mourning stick is also known as the filial son stick. There is another point, Xiaoye said
It is not entirely correct. It is true that willows can be twins of yin and yang, but not all willows can be twins of yin and yang. Only willows that are rooted and sprouted from filial piety sticks are twins of yin and yang. And Youshen Village is equivalent to a huge yin house, yang world
The willow tree in front of the grave has its roots deep underground. When it reaches Youshen Village and grows in Youshen Village, it can grow into a tree exactly like the one in front of Yangjian's grave. When I say this, you may not understand it. Let me change it to another one.
To put it in perspective, you can imagine Youshen Village as an inverted world in the upper world, but neither the people in the upper world nor the ghosts in the underworld can notice it. It will be easier to understand."
After hearing Wei Wu's patient explanation, Wei Lai, Ye Feihua and both of them were suddenly enlightened. They both gained a lot of knowledge today.
"Okay! We're at the door of the house, let's go in! If you want to know more about the underworld in the future, you can ask some old ghosts in the underworld for advice. For example, it was Wei Xiao's ancestor who told me about the twins of yin and yang in the willow tree.
"
"Dad, are you saying that the little distant ancestor knows the underworld very well?"
"That's right! He is the know-it-all about Youshen Village in Weijiazhuang! By the way, speaking of that ancestor, I have to go to the chicken pen to have a look. You go inside first and I'll be there right away!"
When Wei Lai came to his father's residence, he felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy. The style of the house was exactly like that of their old home in Yangjian, with three brick halls, two wing rooms, one for the kitchen, and one for the living room.
Utility room. Two simple chicken and sheep pens were set up in the yard. A few chickens were strolling leisurely in the yard, and a ewe and three lambs were munching hay in the sheep pens. They were quite comfortable.
