Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 285: Unfilial Son - Midnight Chant

When her son and daughter-in-law were in the hospital, Li Ping called several times to inquire about them. Knowing that her son's life was not in danger, she did not suggest going to the hospital to visit them. After all, she had two children to take care of at home.

The burns on Li Ping's legs started to produce dead skin after a few days. The process was stinging and itchy, but she managed to get through it.

As for the Tian family’s house, a window next to the door in the west room was also broken. It’s the first month of the year now, and there’s no one to repair it.

In order to maintain the indoor temperature, Li Ping could only seal the windows inside and outside with plastic sheets to keep out the cold.

This was the first time Li Ping was really angry with Tian Dayong.

During the ten days when her son and daughter-in-law were away from home, Li Ping ignored her eldest grandson, whom she had always loved, for the first time and disliked him very much.

The people from the same village also visited the Tian family inside and out before the "village bully" Shi Min came back.

The Tian family became an example of fire prevention failure in the entire village, and even the village party secretary used a loudspeaker to emphasize again that every family must set off fireworks safely.

When Zhou Leng and Tian Junfu left the hospital and returned home, their family's affairs were no longer new to the villagers.

There were a few acquaintances who brought some fruits to visit Tian Junfu at home, but Tian Wei was not among them. No one knew what this always attentive father was doing?

Now the whole family is crowded in the west room. Fortunately, they can still cook in the kitchen, so they don't have to starve.

Tian Dayong had been waiting for his mother to come back and beat him up, but Zhou Leng never beat him up because he had so many things to do.

Zhou Leng found some plastic sheeting to replace the windows of the east room. Although it could not keep out the cold or provide light, the outdoor temperature was now more than 20 degrees below zero. If they didn't nail the windows of the east room shut with plastic sheeting, they would be woken up by the cold even if they slept in the west room.

The east room was charred and dilapidated. The only good thing about the whole thing was probably that Zhou Leng’s short video had new content and was more eye-catching.

The number of fans of Zhou Leng’s short video account is increasing rapidly.

One evening, everyone was sleeping soundly, except Tian Junfu, who was suffering from the itching on his back. He lay on the kang and tried not to move, with sweat on his forehead.

Suddenly there was movement in the darkness, like the sound of someone crawling out of bed.

Tian Junfu thought it was just a family member getting up to go to the bathroom, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Tian Dayong got off the kang with his eyes closed, put on his shoes accurately and walked into the kitchen. He groped for a while and walked into the small wooden cabinet in the back room. He opened the cabinet door, picked up the kitchen knife, and returned to the west room.

The sound of light footsteps echoed in the quiet room.

Because Tian Junfu had been lying down, he just thought that it was a family member who had come back after taking care of an emergency, and he did not see the child holding the knife.

Zhou Leng breathed evenly. She suddenly felt a strange gaze and murderous aura in her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw a kitchen knife chopping towards her face.

Zhou Leng accurately grabbed the other person's hand that was holding the knife handle. If she had grabbed the wrist, she would have been in great pain if the knife fell.

Tian Dayong's hand was held, but he still chopped down with all his strength. However, due to the force of his muscles, he suddenly opened his eyes and then felt everything around him in a daze.

Zhou Leng whispered, "Dayong, let go."

When Tian Dayong heard his mother's words, he instinctively let go of her hand.

Zhou Leng immediately grabbed the knife with the back of her hand. She put on the cotton jacket spread on the edge of the kang, put the kitchen knife under the quilt, then went downstairs to put on her shoes and took Tian Dayong's hand to the kitchen.

In the pitch-black environment, there were the sounds of two people's footsteps.

Tian Junfu asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"

Zhou Leng replied: "It's okay, Dayong wants to go outside to take a dump but he doesn't dare."

Tian Junfu whispered, "Ah, put on some clothes, it's cold outside."

"Ah."

The mother and son went to the small room behind the kitchen.

The dark environment is the shining eyes of both of them.

Zhou Leng asked: "Do you know what you were doing just now?"

Tian Dayong nodded blankly, as if he knew what was going on.

Zhou Leng looked at him and said:

"Everything you have done actually has its cause and effect. If you continue now, you will suffer in your next life. Do you want to be immersed in the same cause and effect in reincarnation after reincarnation? Wealth and honor are all determined by fate, and each of us cultivated causes in our previous lives."

Tian Dayong was a little confused. He just felt that he was sleepwalking just now, and seemed to want to hit someone with something.

After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the center of Tian Dayong's eyebrows.

Zhou Leng's soul appeared above Shi Min's body, and the other party's soul appeared above Tian Dayong's body.

Zhou Leng, in soul state, grabbed the other person's wrist and entered a vortex.

***

The vortex is a world of nothingness. The two of them seemed to be standing from the perspective of strangers watching the tortured life of Shi Min's family.

Tian Dayong, who was in the vortex, was disobedient in his youth and got into trouble everywhere. When he was young, he was strong and would beat and scold his parents at will. After Li Ping passed away, Tian Dayong sold the old house and took his wife out to work.

After their son and daughter-in-law moved out, the old couple Tian Junfu had to live in an empty thatched house in the village for a few years. Finally, they saved enough money and bought a farm house in the village.

Just two months after moving in, Tian Dayong and his wife returned to the village because they did not make any money working. The young couple moved into the newly bought house of the old couple and drove them out.

The old couple had no choice but to go out to work.

Tian Junfu is already in his sixties and is still moving bricks. The site manager took pity on him and let him earn a living here. Shi Min got a fake ID and changed his age to seven years younger, and worked cleaning toilets in an office building in the city.

The ending is so sad.

When Shi Min died, her son did not visit her or attend her funeral. Seventy-year-old Tian Junfu did not want to burden his daughter, so he had to do odd jobs on the construction site to support himself.

***

Everything appeared before Tian Dayong's eyes like an illusion.

The souls of the two returned to their bodies, and this time the spell reduced the lifespan of Shi Min's body by ten years. As soon as Zhou Leng returned to this body, he felt unusually flexible and light.

Zhou Leng's voice was particularly clear in the quiet little room. She said, "Dayong, did you see it?"

Tian Dayong said in a weak voice: "I saw it, Mom, what is that? Why are you and my family there? Is that real?"

Zhou Leng gently patted the child's Baihui acupoint with his palm.

White smoke came out of Tian Dayong's body, hidden in the darkness, hovering above Tian Dayong's head for a long time.

Zhou Leng took off her cotton jacket and threw it on the ground. She sat cross-legged and blurted out:

"....One flower is a world, one tree is a floating life, one grass is a paradise, one leaf is a Tathagata, one sand is a bliss, one place is a pure land, one smile is a worldly connection, one thought is a tranquility..."

After an hour of chanting scriptures, the white smoke finally circled above Zhou Leng's head and then dissipated into nothingness.

The white eyes disappeared and Tian Dayong fell unconscious.

Zhou Leng caught the child, wrapped him in his cotton-padded jacket, and then carried him into the west room with both hands.

The room was very quiet and Tian Junfu had fallen asleep.

Zhou Leng stuffed Tian Dayong into the quilt, then he lay down on the kang, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Tian Dayong was born with resentment, and if he hadn't suddenly taken out a knife to kill someone today, Zhou Leng would not have been able to sense it.

Now the resentment has been eliminated and the child is no longer controlled by the hatred from his previous life.
