Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 50, Looking back suddenly, the man is there, in a dimly lit place
The weeds are three feet high on the small grave, blowing in the wind, so desolate.

The wooden sign that has been eroded countless times by wind and rain has Bai Jasmine's name written on it.

"As you can see, you will never see the teacher again. In fact, the teacher died of illness 30 years ago. On the last day before her death, she was still teaching the children. This tombstone was also built by the teacher herself. , She said that she is not willing to change a better tombstone after she dies, all she needs is a cup of grave soil." There were tears in the corners of the middle-aged woman's eyes, she was one of Bai Jasmine's students, and also the last batch of students.

Now, she has inherited Bai Jasmine's behest and became the teacher and principal of this Hope Primary School. She has taught countless students and changed the fate of the children in Dashan, just like Bai Jasmine used knowledge to change her destiny. I am also doing my best to change the fate of others, and pass on this idea from generation to generation.

The youngest young man in the office is her student and will continue to teach
Old man Lin looked at the tombstone with a dull face, and finally he could only sit down on his knees, holding the rotten tombstone and crying bitterly.

"Xiaohua, I've been waiting so hard for you."

It turned out that it wasn't that I didn't go home, but that I couldn't come back.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman next to him asked.

"Are you Lin Shitou?"

"I am Lin Shitou, Bai Jasmine's husband. I have been waiting for her for most of my life. Now I can't wait for her to come back." Old man Lin smiled sadly. The wife who had been waiting for most of his life had already passed away. Not even more uncomfortable.

"The teacher once told me that there is something I must give you, but I left before she finished speaking, so I have never found you." The middle-aged woman said, then turned back to her In his office, he searched for a while and found a package.

This package is very old and has never been opened. Judging from the texture, it should be something like a document.

Old man Lin took Bai Jasmine's relic tremblingly, and opened it.

Above is a list and a letter.

"Little Shitou, if you open this letter, it means that I am dead. Haha, I'm sorry, I didn't accompany you to the end. In fact, I didn't intend to leave you on purpose, because I seem to be doomed from the beginning. I've been with you to the end, I didn't tell you that I had a high fever that day, and I didn't know until I went to the hospital in the city that I might not live long."

"What I'm afraid of is that after I leave, what will you do if you don't live well? I've been with you for so long, but I know you're not a good person, and your mind is not bright. Maybe you can think about it when I say I'll come back."

"Come here and spend the last time chasing my dream. After all, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education. If I don't stand up, the nearby valleys will never get out of the way, and neither will our valley."

"Well, there is actually nothing to say, let me say one last thing."

"I love you, little rock."

"But sorry, I can't come back."

——White Jasmine.

Old man Lin couldn't read a simple letter, but he still understood the general meaning.

At that time, Bai Jasmine already knew that her time was numbered, but she was afraid of old man Lin, so she kept thinking about it.
With some trembling, old man Lin took out a piece of paper under the letter, on which was written a test report in black and white.

"Can the Taoist priest take a look for me?" Mr. Lin tremblingly handed over the test sheet to Li Yun.

Li Yun sighed, took the test sheet, and said.

"Systemic lupus erythematosus, an immune system disease, is a terminal illness. Even in modern times, there is not enough treatment to cure it. 30 years ago, it was basically a terminal illness."

Since ancient times, beauties have had many fates. Judging from the medical situation at that time, it was a disease that was resigned to fate and had no possibility of relief.

It can be said that in the era when hormone drugs were not popularized, this disease was equivalent to a death sentence.

heard here.

Old man Lin burst into tears.

He didn't know about lupus erythematosus or immune system diseases. He only knew why his wife left him so silently.

I used my last life to burn my ideals, and also to prevent Old Man Lin from knowing that I was about to die.

The middle-aged woman also silently withdrew from the backyard, leaving space for the sad old man.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

After crying bitterly for a while, old man Lin murmured.

"Xiao Daoist, tell me, what am I trying to do with my life? Waiting until now, after all, I have waited for nothing."

If he could muster up the courage to come to this school to look for her back then, maybe he wouldn't have waited half his life to finally receive a cup of grave soil.

why.
At this time Li Yun looked at old man Lin quietly and said.

"Actually, it's not a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket. The 45 years of waiting have not been wasted."

"Why didn't it go to waste? I waited until the end and only got a cup of loess. I didn't even stay by her side for the last days. It's not a waste of water from a bamboo basket, what is it?" Old man Lin shook his head.

"Perhaps, even she herself didn't know, I would have waited for her so long, if I had been willing to muster up the courage." Old man Lin leaned directly on the grave.

"No, she actually knows it. She has always known it. From the past to the present, she has clearly seen it in her eyes." Li Yun sighed, and then said lightly: "Your stubbornness, your waiting, she understands everything "

"How do you know, you haven't even seen her face." Old man Lin murmured, he just felt that Li Yun was comforting him.

How could this young man in his 20s at the most know the thoughts of a man who died 30 years ago?

However, Li Yun smiled silently and sighed softly.

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, layman, let's see if what the poor Taoist said is really wrong."

The scene changed, and golden wheat fields swept across the land.

Have you returned to the golden wheat field again? The place where the two met. However, besides old man Lin, there are Li Yun and another woman standing on the wheat field.

Li Yun, a three-eyed man riding a green ox, is dressed in a white robe, surrounded by meritorious deeds, and smiling, like a fairy.

However, at this time, old man Lin didn't pay attention to Li Yun in front of him, but looked at the woman in front of him, his face was shocked and speechless, and his face trembled slightly.

Twisted braids, little red shoes, a floral skirt, a bright red face, and a pure smile.
"Little Stone, I'm back."

Bai Jasmine laughed like a flower, and old man Lin dreamed back to the time when the two first met,

is her
really her
Looking back suddenly, the man was there, in a dimly lit place——
