Chapter 282: Homecoming
Yuan Jing put the teapot and teacup on the tea tray and put them on a coffee table on the wooden collapse, Jin Lian and Huixin Shitai crossed their legs and sat on both sides of the coffee table. Master Hui Xin asked Jin Lian www.biquge.info "Do you like it here?"
Jin Lian said: "It's like, and it's not an ordinary like." ”
Mrs. Shi said, "As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were destined for the Buddha, and I thought you would definitely come to me." You're here and you're going to love it, and you're hoping to live here for the rest of your life. ”
"Mrs. Shi is a master, I don't need to say anything, I can guess what I think in my heart and what I will do in the future. I really hope that if my matter can be settled, I can still leave my life behind, please Mrs. Shi must take me in. ”
"You still have some things to do in the world, and I know that you want to finish these things and come back. I have been studying Buddhism here for 30 years, and now that I am old, I hope that there will be a person with wisdom roots to preside over this nunnery, promote Buddhism and Buddhism, and let more sentient beings get rid of the sea of suffering and achieve positive results. ”
"I have read countless people over the past few decades, and I think you are the most suitable heir to my nunnery. But I see that you still have a lot of troubles, you want to end it, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, if you want to do anything, remember to think twice, I also hope that you can talk to me about the doubts and problems in the Buddhist scriptures. ”
Jin Lian said: "Mrs. Shi, you think too highly of me, I don't have such a profound knowledge as Mrs. Shi, and I am afraid that those profound and difficult Buddhist scriptures will not be able to learn well, but Mrs. Shi is not hesitant to give advice, and that is an opportunity for me to ask for it." Especially in such a quiet and elegant place, studying Buddhist scriptures and studying Buddhist principles is not only a pleasure, but also the greatest joy in life. It's just that I don't know if I'll have a chance to enjoy such happiness?"
Seeing that Jin Lian was so sad, Mrs. Shi didn't say anything, she knew that it was better for the health of the human body to say unpleasant things than to hide them in her heart. Jin Lian casually chatted with Mrs. Hui again, and Mrs. Huixin promised that after a while, if she found time, she would go to see Jin Lian again, and then she would explain another Buddhist scripture. In this way, Jin Lian refused the proposal of the master to stay and have a vegetarian meal, and Jin Lian took her leave.
Out of the mountain gate, looking down at the mountain, suddenly lightning and thunder, Jin Lian remembered the landscape painting in her uncle's room, which was painted in the Cuiping Nunnery under the pine and cypress. The reason why Jin Lian is familiar is because when she went to her mother's grave, she looked at the hill opposite, and she was very surprised by its beauty. This is really fate, if you become a monk here for the rest of your life, won't you always be by your mother's side?
After going down the mountain, Brother Yun drove the boxcar, the two of them casually nibbled on a few pieces of cake, drank cold water, and hurried home, when they got home, it was already dark. They went out for a day, and Wang Po was not at ease, and was standing at the door of Jin Lian's house, stretching her neck to look at the end of the street. It wasn't until she saw them coming home that Wang Po let out a long breath and quietly went home. Pan Jinlian and Brother Yun also pretended not to see her, got off the car at the door of Jinlian's house, and stuffed a piece of silver weighing about a lot of money to Brother Yun, thanking him for his help.
In the past few days, Master Huixin has not been there, but Pan Jinlian seems to feel that chanting the scriptures three times a day in the morning, noon and evening has become an indispensable part of her life, and from the acquaintance of Wu Song to his departure, in less than half a year, Jinlian feels that it seems to be a matter of her previous life.
At night, it is pitch black all around, and the early spring rain is soft, unlike the summer storms that make people feel heart-pounding. Pan Jinlian has finished her homework, is boiling hot water, ready to wash her face and feet, and sleep well in the gentle rain hypnosis.
Suddenly, she heard a soft knock on the door, and Jin Lian went to open the door. Oh my God, under the faint oil lamp, it was my uncle and Wu Song, and Jin Lian didn't expect them to go home under such circumstances. Jin Lian hurriedly lit another candle to make the room brighter.
In the candlelight, the clothes of my uncle and Wu Song were very dirty, apparently after a long journey in a hurry, and then it rained, and as a result, dust, rain, and sweat were mixed together, and there was no time to change clothes, so the clothes were so dirty, and emitted a sour smell. Pan Jinlian thought to herself, the big thing must wait for them to wash off the smell on their bodies, change into clean clothes, and eat a meal.
Jin Lian put the water in the pot and increased the heat, although Jin Lian felt that their sudden return gave her a sense of relief. But a person who has been carrying heavy loads for a long time, only relying on a perseverance to support, she did not fall, and now someone takes her heavy objects away at once, he will naturally lose his center of gravity and will fall to the ground. Now Jin Lian felt that she was about to fall, but she muttered to herself: "Can't fall, can't fall......"
On the other side, Pan Jinlian saw that as soon as the door opened, Wu Song ran into the door and ran to the back half of the house. He saw the spirit tablet under the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and stood there like a clay carving and wood sculpture, and the whole person was stunned. As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, just because they haven't reached the sad place, not to mention that Wu Song is an iron-clad man. He knelt on the grass in front of the spirit, did not cry, and the tears in his eyes fell to the ground one by one, as if it was rain in front of the eaves, and the sound of the ground snapping could be heard.
Wu Song raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, only then did Pan Jinlian see that the sleeve on his arm seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and there were spots and marks on it, Jin Lian stood silently next to him, Jin Lian's body began to shake, and her uncle was afraid that she would fall, so he helped Jin Lian.
Wu Song shed tears for a while, stood up and turned his head to ask Jin Lian: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has always been in good health, why did he die, is he sick? What is the disease, and where is his body buried now?"
Jin Liangang said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Pan Jinlian couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, and her uncle quickly pulled Jinlian up and let her sit on the futon in front of the spirit. Jin Lian thought that her tears were like a dry stream, and she could no longer shed tears, but at this time, the tears flowed down in an uproar.
Pan Jinlian sobbed and said: "Second brother, I know that no matter what you say now, you will not believe it; you will not listen to any explanation, I only tell you that your eldest brother was killed by someone, he did not die of illness." How did he die, let others tell you, I can provide a few people, Wang Po, Brother Yun, Uncle He Jiu, and Sister-in-law Sun, but if you ask Brother Yun first, you may understand the truth of the matter faster. ”
"You are a hero who stands up to the sky, if you ask things clearly, and in the end you still think that it was because of me that your eldest brother was killed, then whatever you do with me, I will never say a word, even if you want me to die, I will never regret it. ”
After Pan Jinlian finished speaking, she said to her uncle: "There is hot water boiling in the cauldron, and there are a few vegetarian dishes next to the pot, half a pot of porridge, and a few pieces of cake. Uncle, you can help with the hot dishes, I'll go up first, you're tired from the journey, let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything. ”
Jin Lian went upstairs by herself, she thought her uncle would arrange it. I didn't wait long, I heard the footsteps of my uncle and Wu Song going upstairs, presumably they were also taking a bath, changing clothes, and eating, so they were too tired and went to rest. If there is anything, my uncle will tell Jin Lian tomorrow.
Regardless of whether her uncle and Wu Song came back or not, Pan Jinlian still followed the arrangement of this time, as soon as the morning dawned, she would boil porridge, boil water, wash up, and finish breakfast, and then make a morning class.
When she was reciting the scriptures, her uncle also got up, and he silently ate breakfast by himself, and when Jin Lian finished reciting the scriptures, he said to Jin Lian: "Jin Lian, I want to ask you what happened to your family during this time?
Pan Jinlian and her uncle sat a few days ago in the place where Huixin sat and lectured, and the uncle sat in the position of Huixin, and the uncle said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I'm afraid of such a thing, I didn't expect it to come so soon." You say, when did Wu Dalang die?"
Jin Lian said: "It was midnight on February 22. ”
Uncle nodded and said: "Yes, this matter is strange, in the middle of the night I heard a voice in Wu Song's room, which woke me up, so I couldn't sleep, and when it was dawn, Wu Song came and knocked on my door, and told me when I entered the door, in the middle of the night, he saw his eldest brother gently enter his room through the door, covered in blood and bleeding from seven holes, and said to him: Brother, I died so unjustly, you must avenge me." ”
Wu Song reached out to pull his eldest brother, but he couldn't pull it, so he chased after him, and as a result, he rolled over from the bed to the ground, and woke up in a cold sweat. The more he wanted to worry, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply knocked on the door and asked me. As soon as I heard it, I knew that this Wu Dalang must be more than lucky. It's inconvenient to pick it out, but I just comforted Wu Song and said: You have a deep brotherhood, and you have been away from home for many days, it must be because you miss your brother. ”
"Na Wu Song was entrusted by the prefectural magistrate to go to Tokyo on an errand for him, but fortunately, when he had this dream, the prefectural magistrate's errand had already been completed. Otherwise, if the matter is not done, he will not be able to rush back desperately except for his eldest brother in his heart, and he will not be able to save his eldest brother. ”
After a pause, the uncle said to Pan Jinlian solemnly: "Jinlian, you have to tell me the truth, otherwise I have no way to help you, and I can't help you clear your name for murdering your husband." You say, who is the mastermind of the murder of Wu Dalang? Who is the accomplice? I will use my method to prove whether everything you say is true?"
"When I came back today, I went to quit my errand at the library, and asked them to hire another teacher, so that they would not wait for me any longer. It takes time and energy to find out about this matter, I can't be distracted, if I don't find out this matter clearly, it will make you bear the charge of being a bad woman, and I can't explain it to your grandfather and mother when I die, and Wu Dalang, a poor man, will not be able to turn a blind eye. ”
Originally, Pan Jinlian had been counting on her uncle and Wu Song to find out everything for her after they came back quickly, and when the truth was revealed, she would be cleared. Now she is worried that her uncle and Wu Song have no power and power, how can they fight Ximenqing? At least Jin Lian can provide everything she knows, find evidence of Ximenqing's evil, and let them know that Ximenqing not only wants to occupy himself, but also has bigger plans and conspiracies.
Pan Jinlian thought about it, sorted out her thoughts, and simply explained how Ximen Qing colluded with Wang Po, and how she deceived Jin Lian into going to Wang Po's house on the pretext of making shrouds; how Jin Lian was in the sweat medicine, and how she was hugged by Ximen Qingqiang, because she took Wu Dalang's life and the safety of the two of them, she had to obey Ximenqing's threat; later, because Brother Yun sympathized with Wu Dalang, he took Wu Dalang to catch monkeys, so that Wu Dalang was kicked and injured; when he was treated, Ximen Qing instructed Wang Po to poison and poison Wu Dalang.
Later, Ximenqing found someone to handle Wu Dalang's funeral, and destroyed the corpse and burned Wu Dalang's body, and Jin Lian could only endure humiliation and shame in order to get his innocence, but Uncle He Jiu may have evidence that Wu Dalang was poisoned.
