Chapter 32 Flowers Bloom on the River
"Today is the Bon Festival of Buddhism, and the donor may wish to go out to watch the lanterns for the festival. Master Hui'an said.
"By the way, in the evening, Yu Yu Gongzi came to invite the donor to watch the lantern together, but when he saw the donor so settled, he didn't bother and asked the old man to explain. ”
Ye Chu replied, "The master doesn't go with you?"
"Today is my Obon Conference, and there are many mundane things in the temple, so we can't go together. Hui'an explained.
Ye Chu nodded in understanding, the two said a few more words, Hui'an took Ye Chu out of the backyard, folded his hands and said: "Obon Festival is a grand event of my Buddhist sect, and the scene of lights in the river is very beautiful. ”
"Lamps are lit in the river to pray for good fortune, and donors can follow the customs. ”
Ye Chu folded his hands in return and said: "I have been standing in the hall for a day, presumably the master has also watched me for a day, but he is afraid that someone will disturb him, this kind of kindness, Ye Chu remembers it deeply." ”
Hui'an smiled slightly, recited a Buddhist phrase lightly, and turned back.
In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, there are naturally a lot of people who worship the Buddha and offer incense, and there are vendors selling along the street all around, children playing and playing in the streets, and parents chasing after them, for fear of accidents.
The customers of this house were suspicious of the expensive things, and the customers of that house killed the hawkers.
The woman received the hairpin of her favorite Langjun and smiled like a flower, and the man received the smile of the girl she liked, and was fascinated.
There was a lot of laughter here for some reason, and there was a lot of noise there.
The shouting, scolding, laughing and shouting are all human voices and life.
Ye Chu gradually walked away and looked back at Qingma Temple.
During the Midyear Festival, the temple is brightly lit, and from a distance, it looks like a little eye-catching lotus flower.
The moonlight is infinitely bright.
Ye Chu was a little relieved for some reason, and his depressed heart was like a window that had been opened. He finally wanted to breathe, but he was afraid that it would be stuffy.
A river runs through the city.
Clear and clear as a mirror, it is not like an ordinary river in the city, but like a stream flowing on the edge of the deepest part of the forest, no one can see it, and no one can dirty it.
It has silently fed the people of the city for an unknown number of years, and it seems that it will continue to flow like this again.
The riverside was full of people in the city, many of whom had a lamp in their hands that was ready to be placed in the river, and they did not know what they were waiting for.
The lights are bright, the lights of thousands of homes are shining, and the eyes of thousands of families are watching and making noise.
There are a few boats scattered on the river, some large and some small, slowly moving forward with the river.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers, which lasted for a long time.
The boat mover moved a big boat to the river, and there were many monks standing on the boat chanting something, and the Buddha's voice was clear.
Then the people by the river began to put a lamp on the surface of the river, and the colorful river lanterns began to flow slowly with the river, the lotus shape made of oil paper, the flame of the wick swayed, and the stars formed a long line of lights.
There are several big boats sailing on the river, brightly lit and magnificent, and the people sitting in them must be either dignitaries or wealthy people.
Ye Chu suddenly saw a person standing at the bow of the boat, and his heart was shocked.
I don't know what to say to the people around me, but the man has an unknowable smile on his face.
The second son of the Wei family, Wei Liang.
"I was dressed as a servant that day, with a black cloth covering my face, and neither he nor the man would have recognized me. ”
Having said that, Ye Chu was still a little flustered, he had planned to wait slowly, waiting for the opportunity to kill Wei Liang, but it was obvious that now was not the time.
Especially the swordsman who knew the realm was still beside him, and if he was found to be the one who failed to assassinate him that day, he felt that he would definitely die.
Thinking like this, Ye Chu turned around and hid in the crowd, intending to leave quietly.
"Look, there's a child!" a voice shouted loudly from the crowd.
Ye Chu looked carefully, and really saw a seven or eight-year-old child splashing in the water in the middle of the river, his limbs flapping indiscriminately, obviously drowning.
A little farther away is the big ship where Wei Liang is.
It is estimated that he accidentally fell because of the river lantern, and no one on the boat next to him found the child who was struggling, and they were all talking about the lights and moonlight in front of them.
The people by the river shouted and screamed, trying to attract the attention of the people on the boat, but they were far away, and the crowd was already noisy, how could the shouts mixed with the noise be heard?
Some people see that the situation is not right, and they have already jumped into the river to save people, but how can they be in time?
Seeing this, the thoughts in Ye Chu's heart flashed, and he flew towards the river in a few leaps.
"I don't care if he will be found, let's talk about saving him!"
Ye Chu leaped five or six feet, but he was still some distance away from the child.
Just as he was about to fall into the water, he saw his long sword sweep towards the surface of the lake, and the momentum caused by it pushed him straight away.
The waves hit the shore, and even people who didn't notice the situation had to pay attention.
In this way, it is close to the heart of the river.
Ye Chu has already attracted the attention of the people on both sides of the strait, and everyone has also noticed the children struggling in the water.
Everyone on the ship, which was already a little far away, also noticed this scene.
"My child!" cried out a young woman, anxiously.
Wei Liang looked at the person flying by, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Chu grabbed the child's collar and lifted it, repeating Fang Cai's action a few more times.
Waves bloomed on the river, and they were born and destroyed, taking Ye Chu forward, but he seemed to be stepping on the waves.
One turned over, and Ye Chu landed firmly on the ground.
The child who was almost killed in the water was out of danger and cried loudly.
Thunderous cheers erupted on both sides of the strait.
A big ship was approaching, and the young woman at the bow looked anxious.
Wei Liang set his eyes here, not knowing what to say to the people beside him.
Ye Chu wanted to leave secretly, but he found that people were surrounding him, saying words of praise, and he was a little unaware.
The boat came to a halt slowly, and the young woman rushed down to hold her child, and began to cry together.
A man in his early forties walked on the boat and thanked Ye Chu.
Before Ye Chu could say anything, the woman immediately took her child and thanked Ye Chu non-stop.
"In the Xiagongsun family, the contemporary head of the family, Gongsun Liang, I don't know the name of this Engong?"
Ye Chu listened to others call him Engong, and he was still a little happy in his heart.
"In Xia Ye Chu, this is just a casual help, which is not a blessing. ”
Gongsun Liang replied: "Engong saved my son's life, and he is determined to ......."
Ye Chu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can't try to report for saving people." ”
Gongsun Liang continued: "Please also ask Your Excellency to come on board." ”
Ye Chu shirked two more sentences, and simply squeezed the crowd and left directly.
"Sure enough, good people have good rewards, and people still want to repay you if you do good deeds. Ye Chu thought happily and simply
How did he know that Gongsun Liang just saw that he was extraordinary, and he intended to recruit him.
The lotus flowers on the river are still in full bloom, one by one, drifting forward.
