Chapter 45 The Mountains Are Fated

The temple that the Shen family is going to is called Wanxiang Temple, which is located in a remote area, and only a rugged path has been built, which is difficult to enter the mountain and even more difficult to get out. Not to mention outsiders, even the monks who go to Huayuan at the beginning of each month do not go back for ten days and half a month, otherwise they will waste time in and out.

Such a difficult temple, of course, will not really have thousands of incense offerings. There are only a few that have helped them all year round. One of them is the Shen family, and the rest are also looking at the Shen family's face to give some incense money.

Just because Master Shen was robbed by robbers on the mountain road when he was young, he ran into the mountains in a hurry and fainted. was saved by the abbot of Wanxiang Temple, and only then did he pick up a life. Later, Master Shen wanted to take them outside, but the abbot refused. He had no choice but to find a craftsman to repair the dilapidated temple and offer incense.

Since then, whenever someone in the Shen family is sick, Master Shen will come here, and if he is not free, he will let his relatives come.

Everything works, but only the son is stupid, the abbot said back then, "You gave birth to a stupid him, it is the origin; He is wise, but it is your cause, but it is also another cause. ”

Master Shen didn't understand, and when he casually said this to Shen Laibao, Shen Laibao felt a little cold down his spine.

- The real Shen Laibao is the true son of Master Shen, and there is fate in it. After he came, Master Shen and his true son perished, that is to say, the real Shen Laibao...... No longer in this world.

Shen Laibao didn't sleep well all night after hearing this, he had guessed that maybe the core of this body had been extinguished, but after hearing that the abbot had said this ten years ago, he felt that the core was really gone.

So if he leaves one day, this body will be completely destroyed.

The road into the mountains was long, and everyone was drowsy.

When he arrived at Wanxiang Temple, Shen Laibao also fell ill. Fortunately, he has been working hard to improve the quality of this body, so he will be cured for two days after a minor illness.

After that, he followed Mrs. Shen to the Buddhist hall every day to chant sutras, and the deep mountains were all good, but the three meals were bland, either tofu or green vegetables, either green vegetables or wild vegetables. Shen Laibao chanted this day, looking at the sunset in the distant mountains, there were birds passing by, and his stomach couldn't help but tremble.

――That's what it means to be able to fade out of your beak.

He licked his lips and walked on, preparing to go back to his room and lie down until it was time for dinner, otherwise he would not have the energy to last the night.

As he walked, he seemed to have auditory hallucinations, otherwise how could he hear the voice of the flower phoenix.

He walked and finally stopped, turned around and retreated, standing in front of a door, not only the sound of a flower phoenix, but also a flower bell? He knocked on the door in surprise, and the movement stopped, and then a monk asked, "Who?" ”

"Master Yunyou, it's me, Noble."

The door was opened not long after, Shen Laibao raised his head, as soon as the door opened, no one was seen, and when he looked down, he saw Hua Ling jumping out and almost hitting him.

"Brother Noble Treasure, why are you here?"

Shen Laibao pinched her face, and sure enough, it was Hua Ling, "It's been seven days since I came here, why did you come?" ”

Hua Ling suddenly, "It turns out that this is the place you said to go out." She was surprised for a moment before she said, "My aunt said she came to see an old friend, so she brought me here." ”

Carry...... Shen Laibao and Hua Fenghuang have only spoken once or twice, but judging from her speech and demeanor, this is ...... I'm afraid there are more elements of abduction. Like Mrs. Hua, who loves her daughter like her life, how can she be willing to send her daughter to the deep mountains and old forests.

When Hua Fenghuang saw Shen Laibao, he grabbed Hua Ling's arms, lifted her up and put her out, "Okay, you can play with your brother Laibao." ”

Shen Laibao didn't expect Hua Fenghuang to be the shopkeeper, and was busy catching the flower bell that she let go before she could stand firmly. When he left with the flower bell, he found that the door was not closed. He walked for a long time before he reacted, just now the door was closed because there were three people in the back room, but now there are only two of her, Master Yunyou.

It seems that the flower phoenix seems to be very aggressive, but it is still very careful, taking into account the reputation of the master.

Hua Ling didn't know where he was going, so he followed him, and on the way he said many things that he had just heard in the room. I thought I didn't understand it, so I don't remember it completely. She didn't care about it herself, thinking that she was comprehensive, and she wouldn't understand it even more. Hearing Shen Laibao laugh several times, this serious appearance was really proud.

"Xiaohua, you don't like fishing, so I'll take you to the stream to catch fish, okay?"

At the end of summer, the deep mountains are cool, and the water quality of the mountain stream is even more incomparable to the rivers outside the mountains.

Shen Laibao, who can also study at home, go to the school field and go to the racecourse to pass the time, went into the mountains, and dreamed of the days when there was an Internet and electric lights almost every night, which was really boring. So on the third day of coming here, in addition to chanting the sutras every day, he just went around the area. Whether it's exploring or passing the time, he discovered what he couldn't do in the Shen family.

For example, catching, fishing, and picking wild fruits.

Take the flower bell to play, of course, you have to do something that is not dangerous, and it is naturally the best to fish.

The temple does not open meat, there are no fish baskets. Ah Wu was born in poverty, and he knew how to make some tools since he was a child, so he used rattan to weave a simple but sturdy fish basket for Shen Laibao, and he used it twice and felt that the effect was very good. It's just that the fish is too small, otherwise it can be grilled and eaten, so that the stomach can add some oil and water.

The mountain stream was cool, Shen Laibao took off his shoes and socks and went into the water, his toes felt cold, and it took a while to get used to it. Hua Ling squatted on the shore with a fish basket to watch him, if he hadn't let him, he really wanted to go into the water to catch small fish with him, "Does Brother Noble have fish?" ”

"Yes, but it's too small, and I want to catch some big ones."

Hanaling asked, "Why do you want to catch the big one?" ”

Shen Laibao bent over to concentrate on the direction of the water, and his tone was quite light, for fear of frightening the fish, "You love meat, I will catch it and put it in the pool to raise, and when you want to eat it one day, we will pick it up and roast it." ”

Hua Ling looked at him for a while before saying, "But you've been here for seven days, haven't you thought about grilling fish yourself?" ”

Shen Laibao straightened his waist suddenly, and then he felt stupid, "Yes, why didn't I think of it myself?" ”

There was no more oil in his mouth, but he forgot about it. As soon as Hua Ling came, he was afraid that she would have no meat to eat, so she came to catch big fish, and besides, she might go back later. The mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect itself, and he also loves the little flower next door.

He shook his head and smiled, it must be because Hua Ling usually always thinks about the delicious food he always brings him, so he subconsciously remembered her in his heart.

I don't remember so many girls, but I remember a little girl.

Shen Laibao felt like a strange uncle.

"Brother Noble! There are fish! Fish! ”

Shen Laibao suddenly came back to his senses, and before he lowered his head, he felt that something slippery on his calf was slipping against the flesh, and he couldn't help shaking, and leaned over to scoop the net with a fish basket. I saw that there were fish fluttering at the bottom of the water, and Hua Ling also stood up and pointed everywhere, "There, Brother Noble is there, behind you, to your left, front, front!" ”

After directing for a long time, the fish disappeared completely. Shen Laibao was slapped by the water splashed by the fish's tail, his clothes were almost completely wet, and even the tips of his hair were dripping.

Shen Laibao, who hadn't touched any oil for seven days, felt that he was about to run out of power and wilted. He carried the fish basket to the rock where Hualing stood and lay on it to discharge, "Xiaohua, do you eat snakes, why don't I catch snakes for you." ”

“…… Brother Noble I don't eat snakes. Hua Ling took out her small handkerchief and pressed it on his head, trying to suck the water out of his hair, "But I don't want to eat fish either, don't catch it, let's go back to the temple." ”

Ah Wu, who had been watching it for a long time, couldn't help but say, "Young master, there is a small exit on the side of the mountain stream, so make the mouth of the fish basket smaller and block it there." The fish can't get out if they swim in, and when they wait for one night, they will have it tomorrow. ”

Shen Laibao was dumbfounded, "Why didn't you sue me earlier?" ”

“…… The small ones thought you liked catching fish. ”

Shen Laibao, who was tired and tired, almost cursed, who likes to catch fish! His goal is to catch a fish for Floret, not to enjoy the process of catching a fish!

With Ah Wu's guidance and guidance, Shen Laibao blocked the fish basket at the exit smoothly, and then went back with Hualing.

Mrs. Shen has heard that Hua Feng and Hua Ling are coming, which is quite meaningful in her opinion, it is not strange for neighbors to meet each other, but they can still meet after thousands of miles into the deserted mountains, it is really fate. She happily secretly asked about the marriage between the abbot's son and the daughter of the Hua family, and the abbot smiled incomprehensibly, "Fate, fate." ”

The word is like a sea god needle, and Mrs. Shen is convinced of the fate of her son and Hua Ling. As soon as Hua Ling and her son came back, they took Hua Ling to visit the temple and explained to her, but threw Shen Laibao, who was wet, aside.

Dinner is still radish greens, and tonight it is a little richer, fried some peanuts.

The servants put the dishes and chopsticks on one after another, and Mrs. Shen took the opportunity to ask Hua Phoenix, "How many days are you planning to stay?" ”

Hua Fenghuang is a super elder in the Hua family, but in front of outsiders, she is still ranked by age, which is younger than Mrs. Shen, and her momentum is lowered, "Maybe stay for a few days, and leave when you are tired." ”

"We're going to stay until the fourth day of August."

"What about us...... If you don't get tired of it, it doesn't matter if it's the fourth day of next year. ”

Hua Ling shook her head, "It matters, Daddy said that when Chang Hanlin came to the academy, he would have to go back." Also, if I don't go back for so long, Xiaoyun won't know me. Also, my brothers will be back at the end of the year, so I can't come home until next year. And ......"

Hua Fenghuang covered her mouth, "Grandma is wrong, Grandma promises never to joke with you again." ”

Hua Ling removed her hand and was surprised, "It turns out that Grandma is joking with me, you scared me." ”

Hua Fenghuang was about to be frightened to death by her speed of speech and examples, Shen Laibao, who had long been used to it, looked at Hua Ling with a smile, listening to her chatter, and the dullness of the past few days seemed to be swept away.

When the meal was ready, Mrs. Shen glanced around, frowned and asked, "Noble, where is your uncle?" ”

"Maybe I'm going to the back mountains to eat game again."

Mrs. Shen shook her head, "If you can't stand this suffering, why bother slapping your swollen face and becoming fat, you should come here bravely, you should recite the scriptures well." ”

After dinner, Hua Ling couldn't sit still again, and pulled Shen Laibao to leave. It's just that there are many beasts in the mountains, and there are also snakes, so Shen Laibao took her to the lawn in front of the gate to watch the stars.

watched as the voice of the person next to him became lower and softer, and when he realized that it was already whispering, he turned his head to see that Hua Ling had fallen asleep holding his arm. The little head rested on his arm and fell asleep.

The mountain wind was too cold, Shen Laibao was afraid that she would catch a cold, and he couldn't bear to wake her up. Finally, he moved her slowly, moved her to his back, and carried her back to his room to sleep.

Hua Ling was a little heavier than expected, probably because he was still a teenager. He walked very lightly with every step, and the person on his back breathed very lightly and evenly, as if there were mosquitoes biting his face, and sometimes he raised his hand to scratch his face, but he didn't wake up.

Shen Laibao smiled, he slept really well.

Eat and drink well, play and sleep well, no wonder she can be so happy, even he has to envy her.
