Chapter Twenty-Nine: Inquire about the news, the third aunt answers

Li Ji had no choice but to give up. When I heard the news, I was bitter and uncomfortable, and the tears in my eyes were rolling.

I moved, and I don't know where to move. So what to do?

I had no choice but to ask again. He thought that he should first ask his neighbors to see if he could ask any clues and find some clues, and then he could find a way to find them.

Li Ji didn't care about anything else, and began to knock on the door from door to door to inquire, asking one family, but the family didn't know. Half a circle, no useful information at all.

The neighbors were all curious and surprised when they learned that the monk who was looking for someone was Li Ji.

Then it became a piece of news, and it spread like a frying pan. It attracted all the men, women and children of the surrounding households to see the rarity.

It turned out that Li Ji had been missing for a few years, not because something had happened or something had happened, but he had become a monk.

When the children saw him, they ran over and walked around, laughing back and forth, laughing and laughing at his bald head; the adults pointed fingers and talked to each other, and said something in their mouths; when the old woman and the old man saw him, some pursed their lips, and some shook their heads again and again.

Li Ji couldn't ask for news, he was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and he remembered to go to the third uncle's house to find out the news, so he left quickly.

The children were not afraid, and ran for a while before being dragged back by the parents.

Thinking that it was getting late, it might be inconvenient to pass the evening, so I had to find a random place to stay in the city, stay for one night, and go again tomorrow morning.

trotted along the way, panting and rushed to the third uncle's residence. For this dwelling was not as great as before, but a large courtyard. I saw that the gate of the courtyard was open, and a servant was cleaning it outside the door.

Li Jili was standing in place, and he wanted to go through the courtyard gate first to see the situation in the door, but he was blocked by the wall, where could he see the slightest situation. Just to see the big word 'Fu' engraved on the wall, bright and shining, there is a dignified place.

The servant saw Li Ji standing in place and watching in the court, and did not speak, and he had already guessed a little bit in his heart.

The servant also kept working in his hands, and said while sweeping, and asked Li Ji, "That monk, do you want to go in and turn into a relationship?"

As soon as the servant asked, Li Ji panicked and hurriedly said: "The little monk is not here to turn his fate, but to find someone." ”

The servant was surprised and said, "Don't turn into a relationship?"

Li Jidao: "But it is, if you don't change your fate, you're here to find someone." ”

The servant asked again, "You are a monk, who are you looking for here, who are you looking for, and who are you looking for here?"

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Find my third uncle." ”

The servant's eyes widened, he put down his busy work, stood in place, and said, "Your third uncle, who is your third uncle?"

Li Ji took over and said, "The master of this hospital is surnamed Li?"

The servant said, "Yes, it's Master Li." ”

When Li Ji heard about Master Li, he thought that he couldn't be wrong, and said, "The person I am looking for is Master Li, the master of the courtyard." ”

When the servant heard this, he was a little panicked, and thought to himself: How could I have heard that this Master Li has a monk who is a monk, no wonder I don't know, no one talks about it, and I have never heard of it.

said: "Why didn't Master say it earlier, it caused this random speculation, if you offended Master just now, I hope Master will forgive me." Master Li has important things to do outside, and he is not in the house. ”

Li Ji was not displeased, and said bluntly: As the saying goes, 'Those who don't know are not guilty,' but you really don't know, how dare you blame you? If you want to say it, I still didn't make it clear earlier, and the fault lies with me. ”

The servant was embarrassed and said, "That's good, that's good." Master, there is something wrong, but it is not that I am anxious, and I ask too much. ”

Li Ji asked again: "My third uncle is not here, is the third aunt at home?"

The servant hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes." Madame is at home. ”

When Li Ji heard that he was at home, he stepped forward to enter the house.

But the servant stepped forward and said, "Master wants to find Madame, you might as well wait here first, and let the little one go in and report it first, otherwise it will be difficult to make a difference, right?"

Li Ji retreated and said, "That's right, I also bothered to ask the donor to go and report it, and I said that it was my nephew Li Ji who came to visit. ”

The servant nodded again and again and said, "I understand, Master will wait a while, and it will be done." ”

The servant crossed the threshold and trotted into the courtyard.

Not long after, accompanied by a shouting female voice, a woman walked out, who was Li Ji's third aunt.

Out of the courtyard gate, standing on the steps, looking at Li Ji, looking up and down at him.

Li Ji looked over and saw that she was wearing a brocade dress made of fine satin fabric, wearing gold ornaments, and her hair was tied with a hosta, looking graceful and luxurious.

Li Jizheng thought about how to speak: Calling 'Third Aunt' is not what it used to be, and I am afraid of losing my identity; I am afraid that it will be impolite to call 'female benefactor', I am a relative, not a distant relative, so I may not be too unfamiliar; and I might as well call 'Mrs. Li' a try.

After the third aunt examined it, her voice was also loud, and she said to Li Ji: "Yo, this is not Jicheng, no wonder I can't find you, it turns out that I have become a monk." ”

When Li Ji heard this, he took a few steps forward and said, "Mrs. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." I'm here today, I'm sorry. ”

When the third aunt heard Li Ji call her 'Mrs. Li', she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, happy or unhappy, but she was also embarrassed to say: "What is the name of 'Mrs. Li', it seems that it is not outside, and it is still called 'third aunt'." What do you think?"

Li Jidao: "In this case, don't be surprised by the third aunt. ”

The third aunt said: "If it's anywhere, don't blame it." ”

And said, "When did you come back?"

Li Ji replied, "I just came back yesterday. ”

The third aunt said: "Look like this, you just came out of the temple." ”

Li Jidao: "When I got out of the temple and went down the mountain, I came home." ”

The third aunt said, "You already went home yesterday, right?"

Li Jidao: "I went back, but my family was not there, and the neighbors all said that they had moved, but I didn't know where to move." ”

The third aunt asked, "You are here today, but you are here for this matter?"

Li Ji made no secret of it and said, "Exactly." I wonder if the third aunt knows when and where my parents will move?"

The third aunt said, "We don't know. ”

Li Ji was a little surprised, and said, "How can I not know? They moved, didn't they come to inform my third uncle?"

When the third aunt heard this, she was a little unhappy and said, "What are you talking about, you have to come to inform your third uncle when you move?"

Li Ji hurriedly explained: "Third aunt, that's not what I mean, it stands to reason that if my father moves away, he should come to the third uncle to talk to him." ”

The third aunt said: "Then I don't know, but we don't know anyway, and we haven't informed your third uncle." If notified, can your third uncle not tell me?"

Li Ji was a little melancholy and said: "It's weird, why didn't there be any movement when I moved." ”

The third aunt said: "We don't know that your parents are moving, but we know that you left home and disappeared." ”

Li Jidao: "What's the matter?"

The third aunt said: "When you ran away from home that day, your father came to the house to look for it, and asked your third uncle to help find it, but this movement is not small." ”

Li Ji was ashamed and said: "At that time, it was also inconsiderate, improper, and immature. ”
