23.Chapter 23
After the old lady of the Lu family, Hu Shi, knew that Master Pushan was going to retreat for half a month, although she had the intention to stay, she was afraid that the other people she brought would not be able to bear the hardships of Buddhism, and finally decided to stay only five days and go home.
When Su Xun heard the news from Lu Baozhu's mouth, he immediately pouted, feeling depressed. As for the reason, on the one hand, she was naturally reluctant to let Lu Baozhu leave, and on the other hand, Lu Baozhu was gone, and she was alone, so she was alone, and her mother would take her to Xiao Rui to play.
However, in addition to this depression, Su Xun was still happy.
Lu Baozhu happened to stay until the day when Xiao Rui met her, so if Xiao Rui asked why she didn't go to the appointment in the future, she would have one more excuse to deal with it, after all, she had to accompany her sisters first.
But although he comforted himself so much in his heart, Su Xun was anxious every day, afraid that Xiao Rui would suddenly appear, and then took her away without saying anything, until the day of the meeting, near evening, seeing that Xiao Rui never appeared, this worried heart calmed down a little.
On this day, after finishing dinner, Su Xun took Lu Baozhu's hand and walked back to the house, followed by Mama Zhang, and Lu Baozhu's eldest brother Lu Mo - he said that it was dark when he went back, and he was a little relieved, and he wanted to see with his own eyes that the two of them did go back to the house before leaving.
Su Xun saw that Lu Mo was so heartfelt, so he naturally didn't want to brush off this kindness, anyway, he was just walking for a while.
However, of course, I didn't dare to walk the thousand-year-old peach tree these days, so I made a long detour, for fear that Xiao Rui would wait under the tree. When she left for the first time, Lu Baozhu, who was suspicious, asked, and she replied, "Just to eat", and Su Xun felt that this long way was worth it, otherwise, how could he know that there was a huge lotus pond in Anyuan Temple.
In the early autumn season, some of the lotus flowers in the pond are still in full bloom, and some are defeated, leaving only the huge green lotus canopy, on which you can see the green lotus seeds that are not yet ripe, thinking about the future maturity, the fragrant and delicious taste, this mood is a little excited.
Su Xun and Lu Baozhu walked slowly by the lotus pond, both of them were snacks, at this time, while walking, they both swallowed their saliva, and from time to time pointed to the lotus pod in the pool, discussing which one was the biggest, and the lotus seeds in it were the most delicious.
The two were discussing Huan, but they heard Lu Mo, who was not far behind the two, suddenly speak.
"Yuan Yuan......" He paused, as if he remembered something, and continued, "Baozhu, do you want to eat lotus seeds?"
Hearing this, the two little guys immediately turned their heads, but Lu Baozhu couldn't help muttering in his heart: Why did the eldest brother seem to just want to shout Yuanyuan just now?
can think so, the moment they turned around, the faces of both of them couldn't help but be happy.
I saw Lu Mo standing there, a big hand stretched forward and flattened, and in the palm of his hand, five or six tender green green lotus seeds were lying there motionless, looking very delicious.
"Lotus seeds!" The two villains were all happy, and they jumped up and down to Lu Mo's side, each of them divided three pieces, and each held them in their hands, but no one was willing to eat them first.
Seeing these two people so happy, Lu Mo was also happy in his heart, he grinned and looked stupid. These five days with the two little girls back to the house, see that they always stay in the lotus pond for a while, discuss the lotus seeds, he has the heart to write down, and read that tomorrow will leave Anyuan Temple, although I know that the lotus seeds at this time are not yet ripe, the taste is still milky, not very delicious, but today I asked someone to pick a few slightly ripe lotus seeds to taste. But just now I was nervous, and I looked at the dough again, and I almost forgot about the orb.
"Thank you, Cousin Mo. Su Xun thanked him crookedly.
"No thanks, just like it. Hearing Su Xun's thanks, the smile on Lu Mo's face became even stronger, he looked at the villain's cute and smiling appearance, and reached out and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and the more silly his round face looked.
Seeing this, Su Xun couldn't help laughing, smiled and lowered her head, the little meat took a green lotus seed and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled the fragrance, but the moment she lowered her head, she felt a gaze, which made her heart tremble, and she quickly raised her eyes carefully to look around.
Although the sky is a little dark, I can still see the things around me clearly, but this time, there is no one everywhere, where is there anyone?
"What's wrong with the girl?" Mama Zhang on the side saw that her girl suddenly smiled, and couldn't help but step forward and asked worriedly. And as soon as she asked, Lu Baozhu and Lu Mo, who were happily talking, couldn't help but glance at Su Xun.
Su Xunzheng frowned suspiciously, heard Mama Zhang ask worriedly, and saw that the attention was focused on herself, so she quickly shook her head and replied, "It's nothing." ”
It's just that having said that, Su Xun didn't dare to stay for a long time, and took Lu Baozhu's hand again, and said, "Baozhu, let's go, let's go back to the house." ”
……
After Su Xun took Lu Baozhu and said goodbye to Lu Mo at the door, he entered the house.
Because Ming'er Lu Baozhu was going to leave early in the morning, as soon as he returned to the house, Su Xun ordered Mama Zhang to wait for the two to freshen up and change their bedclothes, and then turned off the lights early and went to bed.
In the dark, the two of them talked, and then they both closed their eyes and fell asleep.
But Su Xun slept very unsteadily this night, and I don't know if she always thought that Xiao Rui would come to her during the day, as soon as she fell asleep, she dreamed of Xiao Rui, and saw that his eyebrows were cold, his dark eyes stared straight at him, and he asked in an unkind tone why he didn't make an appointment.
This dream was real, so that Su Xun's little body couldn't help shaking, and she was about to answer to the cold-faced young man in the dream, but suddenly, there was a familiar faint smell of tea lingering on the tip of her nose, and then, the next moment, she only felt that her body suddenly rose into the air, which startled her, and her brain was a little sober.
"Hmm......" Su Xun hummed softly, his small eyebrows frowned slightly, his thick eyelashes fluttered, his big eyes struggled to open, still a little hazy, and he was about to stretch out his little fleshy hand to rub his eyes, but in a daze, unexpectedly, he bumped into a pair of bright eyes in the dark.
When he landed, his hands were there, and he woke up from sleep, and his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the face that was close at hand in disbelief, but his mind was a little unable to turn around.
Huh, how...... Is it really Xiao Rui?!
Xiao Rui grabbed the little girl's collar tightly with one hand, and saw her look sluggish, without words, with an expressionless face, he only stretched out his other hand and pinched her fleshy face a little harder.
"Well, it hurts. Su came back to his senses and called out with a frown. Because I just woke up, this voice is softer than before, which makes people feel soft when they listen to it.
Seeing the villain crying out in pain, Xiao Rui frowned invisibly, and his white and slender hand immediately left her face, and gently put her down, pacing forward a few steps, not knowing what he was looking for.
Su Xun saw Xiao Rui put himself down, and instead of being half relaxed, his heart became more and more nervous. She glanced at Lu Baozhu, who was still asleep on the bed and was not affected in the slightest, her little head hung low, as if she had done something wrong, swallowed her saliva, and wondered how to explain the no-show.
Just as she was thinking, the figure stood in front of her again, slowly leaned down, gently opened her two arms, and then saw a white pink and green embroidered bamboo leaf collar fall down.
The young man moved gently, but he carefully dressed her, put on a coat that he felt was not enough, and took a coat of Lu Baozhu, which wrapped her tightly, and then picked her up again, walked out of the house, and walked calmly.
Along the way, Su Xun always looked confused, and after all, he had just woken up, so his little head couldn't help but be a little muddy, and he forgot to ask, so he let Xiao Rui hold him.
Xiao Rui didn't say anything, his cold and gloomy eyes looked at the little girl with an ignorant face, as if she was in a daze, and her slender hand tightened unconsciously, but she just hugged her steadily.
Then he strode all the way to the backyard.
Although there is no light in the backyard, the moon and stars in the sky are sparse today, and the jade-like light shines, soft and quiet, and it is still bright, so you can clearly see someone there.
The man sat on a stone bench under the thousand-year-old peach tree, wearing a plain white monk's robe, with no hair on his head, rubbing and shining, obviously a monk. At this moment, he was looking intently at a game of Go on the stone table, as if he was playing against himself. And at first glance, Su Xun's eyes were attracted by the chess pieces on the game, the black and white pieces were shining with a luster under the bright moonlight, like a star stone, dazzling, and I don't know what material it is, it doesn't look like an ordinary product.
And as Xiao Rui hugged himself, Su Xun was puzzled, and also moved his gaze from the chess piece to the monk, and after a closer look, a pair of eyes couldn't help but widen.
This monk has white eyebrows and white beard, and he should be very old, but there is not a trace of wrinkles on this face, and he looks very young, and he looks no more than twenty years old.
And this person is so strange, it would not be good if he could admit his mistake.
Su Xun pursed his lips and said in his heart: Didn't you say that Master Pushan was in retreat?
