Zhou Yan

Master Liu has been a little worried recently. Liu Yuexu has been looking sleepy for the past few days, and her spirits are not very good. She drinks gruel every meal, and her already thin face is even more emaciated.

Liu Zhixing looked at the food that was almost intact, and wanted to scold people angrily, but seeing Liu Yuexu's pale face, he couldn't say anything, so he held his breath and persuaded: "You should eat two bites at least, even if adults don't eat it, you have to do it for the sake of it." ..."

That word was almost a taboo for Liu Zhixing, he paused for a while and went out with his hands behind his back.

Before leaving, Liu Zhixing saw half of Liu Yuexu's side face sitting at the table, which was so thin that it was almost gone.

My daughter felt sorry for herself, Master Liu who came out of Liu Yuexu's yard without saying a word that day sat in the house for most of the night, and early the next morning, he asked someone to lead a carriage to the temple to offer incense.

All kinds of famous doctors and masters have been invited to see it, but they can't tell what is wrong with Liu Yuexu, so they can only go to the temple to worship the Buddha and pray to the Bodhisattva.

The incense in the temple has always been very good, Liu Zhixing went to the main hall to worship and burn incense, and drew a lottery at the back of the Buddhist hall. The mountain is gone, and the master who interprets the lottery is in the back mountain, looking through the scriptures and doing some work for others.

The benevolent teacher and father are sitting under the tree, with prayer beads in their hands, and are chanting.

Liu Zhixing put his palms together and bowed to his teacher and father: "Master."

The master put the beads and scriptures aside, poured two cups of tea into the cup in front of him, and motioned Liu Zhixing to sit down: "The benefactor wants to release the lottery?"

Liu Zhixing sat down cross-legged on the futon in front of the desk, and handed bamboo sticks with both hands: "Master, please clarify."

The bamboo stick passed from one person's hand to the other's. The master stroked his gray beard and muttered in silence until Liu Zhixing was anxious about waiting, and the master turned the bamboo stick upside down on the coffee table.

"The almsgiver's family is not going well these days because of the imbalance of yin and yang. If the five elements are in harmony, all the inconveniences that block the way will be solved together."

"Master, that yin and yang imbalance..."

The master seemed to have said it, but he didn't seem to say anything. Liu Zhixing wanted to ask again, what does Yin and Yang imbalance mean?How should this be solved?But that's all the master said, and he didn't want to reveal any more.

"Benefactor, this poor monk's cup of tea is not bad. After the benefactor finishes drinking, he can go down the mountain."

Liu Zhixing had no choice but to sit under the tree in a daze with the teacher and his father. After drinking a cup of clear tea twice, Liu Zhixing put down the teacup and stood up. He clasped his hands together and made a bow to the master. He turned around and thought about the imbalance of yin and yang, and went down the mountain alone. .

There is a cool breeze in the mountains, and the quiet beauty is half covered by the white mist, like a beauty still holding a pipa, but Liu Zhixing has no time to take care of the pleasant scenery. He has been thinking about the meaning of the yin and yang imbalance all the way, and two teenagers came to meet him.

The slightly taller Zhilan Yushu, with a bright and graceful demeanor, and the shorter one with red lips, white teeth, and handsome eyebrows, are Zhou Mingchao and Shen Xian.

"Uncle!" Shen Xian shouted in surprise, and then ran to Liu Zhixing's side: "You also come to burn incense!"

"Yes," Liu Zhixing had to meet these two people every now and then in the past few days, and he was no stranger to it. He looked at Zhou Mingchao and said, "Are you also going to burn incense on the mountain?"

Zhou Mingchao nodded and said yes.

"Today, on the first day of the lunar new year, my mother couldn't come to the temple because of something, so we asked the two of us to come for her." Shen Xian was still chatting with Liu Zhixing, "Uncle also came to burn incense today, what wish did you make?"

It's better to be a boy, you don't have to worry about being cheated, you are obedient and sensible, Liu Zhixing thought of Liu Yuexu, and thought of the yin and yang imbalance, he felt his forehead swell and hurt, he was so bored that he almost couldn't walk.

Liu Zhixing looked at Zhou Mingchao, then at Shen Xian, and couldn't help it: "You two nephews, do you know what the meaning of yin and yang imbalance is? For example, in my family, how to solve the yin and yang imbalance? "

"Yin-yang imbalance?" Shen Xian lowered his head, trying to make his voice sound surprised, Zhou Mingchao shook his fan, he knew that Shen Xian was going to start talking nonsense again.

"Yin and yang interact to transform all things, and all things in the world have the way of yin and yang." Shen Xian's face was covered with a layer of white light, he frowned and said: "Uncle has been alone for so many years, Miss Liu is also living alone now, where is the imbalance of yin and yang? "

"that……"

Liu Zhixing scratched his head, but still didn't understand, he wanted to ask Shen Xian to understand, Shen Xian had already grabbed Zhou Mingchao and went up the mountain: "Uncle, it's getting late, we have to go home after burning incense , take a step first!"

The boy's voice echoed in the mountains, leaving Liu Zhixing half understanding.

Walking down the narrow path in the mountain, Liu's carriage was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, the carriage passed the avenue, and the market in the city was lively, Liu Zhixing felt that the carriage was going slowly, so he got off the carriage and walked back to the residence on the street.

The market was full of traffic and bustling. Liu Zhixing was walking on the street, watching the people playing and eating along the road, thinking of taking it home for Xu'er to make her appetizing and comforting, even half a bowl of rice would be good.

On the side of the road, there was a scholar who was selling calligraphy and paintings on a shelf. Behind him was a big character "Chunhe Jingming" full of pen and ink, which was very impressive.

The scholar was neatly dressed and had a handsome appearance. He looked at Liu Zhixing standing in front of his stall and smiled, neither humble nor overbearing and polite: "Do you want to see calligraphy and painting?"

Liu Zhixing looked at the paintings and calligraphy on the booth: "How much is a pair?"

"These are all painted by myself. They cost three renminbi a pair, so I can earn a living."

The scholar pursed his lips a little, a little embarrassed, he was humble and talented.

Liu Zhixing's brain buzzed, as if the most important joints had been opened, and the harmony between men and women can be described as yin and yang. There were only him and Xu'er in the family. He was too old to find a wife to marry, but Xu'er was still young. She can!
