"Female donor, I'm not running away, I'm going to go to Zen!"

Xuzhu held his simple burden and refuted Xia Xiyan's words with a small face.

"You're so small, and you still go to the world to go to Zen? I'm afraid that you will only go down the mountain on your front foot, and you will be abducted by a crutch on your back foot to do coolie! Xia Xiyan looked at Xuzhu's simple look of making up his mind, and couldn't help but open his mouth to hit his enthusiasm for granted.

It's just that Xia Xiyan thought that she mentioned the 'abduction', and Xuzhu would be afraid, but she didn't expect that the little guy grew up in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and followed the master to chant and meditate every day, without being contaminated with a little worldliness, and he didn't know what Xia Xiyan said about 'abduction'.

"Female donor, what is a kidnapper?" Xiao Xuzhu touched his little bald head, asked Xia Xiyan curiously, choked Xia Xiyan's question, and then tried to organize the language to explain the meaning of the abductor to him.

"Abductors are a kind of bad people, who specialize in abducting and taking away ignorant children and women"

Xia Xiyan finished explaining the abduction, and was about to persuade Xuzhu not to be so reckless when he went on the road alone, but Xuzhu asked a few common sense questions about the 'abductor'.

"Female donor, why do abductors kidnap others?"

"For the silver!"

"Female benefactor, what is the silver?"

"You don't even know the silver, you're still out, are you going to starve yourself?" Xia Xiyan was about to be knelt down by Xuzhu's naïve question, and she had no common sense of life at all, so she dared to run away with a small burden.

"Do you need money to go out? Why did I see that Master Xuanji went out and walked out, and only brought the six things of the monks and left the temple, but I didn't hear that he wanted to bring silver? The innocence and confusion in Xuzhu's big eyes made Xia Xiyan sigh.

Xiao Xuzhu, who didn't understand the outside world at all, was ostracized by the monks in the temple, and the one who couldn't stay was ready to leave the temple with a small burden on his back and go to live alone in the complicated rivers and lakes. If she hadn't happened to meet and stopped Xuzhu today, I don't know what terrible things would happen to such an ignorant and ignorant child who fell into the world.

"Silver is money, something used to buy daily necessities!" Xia Xiyan simply explained to Xuzhu, and then walked up the mountain with Xuzhu, preparing to take Xuzhu to Shaolin Temple to find Xuandu and Xuanci to ask for an explanation, does this child care about Shaolin Temple? If she doesn't care, she is ready to accept it, how can she not see the milk doll's Xuzhu wandering like this.

"Female donor, let me down!" Xu Zhu was a little confused at first, thinking about what Xia Xiyan mentioned to him, but later he was a little slow to find that Xia Xiyan had been holding him, so he blushed and struggled to let Xia Xiyan let him down.

Xia Xiyan saw that he was struggling hard, so he put him on the ground, and then took him by the hand, but Xuzhu put his hand behind his back, saying that he would not let Xia Xiyan lead, and Xia Xiyan did not force him to say, "Then you follow me back to Shaolin Temple, and I will take you to ask."

"Xuzhu don't go back to Shaolin Temple!" Before Xia Xiyan finished speaking, Xuzhu reacted strongly and said that he would not return to Shaolin Temple.

Xia Xiyan looked down and saw the resoluteness on Xuzhu's face, as well as the injury in his eyes, and knew that he must have been hit hard in the temple.

Otherwise, how could a child who has never descended the mountain have to run away alone without knowing anything about the outside world, how much courage does it take to take the first step.

"It's okay if you don't go back to Shaolin Temple, but you can't go alone! Do you know how many dangers you will encounter if you go alone? You're still young, follow me back to Gusu first, and when you're older, you'll decide what to do. Xia Xiyan thought about it and was not ready to return the virtual bamboo to the Shaolin Temple, the Shaolin Temple because of the Xuzhu father's mother, how could not tolerate the Xuzhu, even if she came forward to let the Shaolin Temple continue to accept the Xuzhu, the life of the Xuzhu in the Shaolin Temple in the future was not peaceful.

"Would you like to go back to Gusu with me?" After Xia Xiyan finished speaking, he saw Xuzhu holding his little burden, lowered his head and neither refuted his words nor agreed with her words, so he squatted down and looked into his eyes and asked him.

Somehow, Xu Zhu looked at Xia Xiyan's eyes, and thought of the last time he saw Ye Erniang yesterday, Ye Erniang's eyes were also looking at him so warmly, and Xia Xiyan and Ye Erniang now looked at him with similar eyes, so that Xu Zhu's heart, which had been helpless from yesterday to now, seemed to have found some foothold, slowly calmed down, and then subconsciously nodded at Xia Xiyan.

He actually has a deep dependence on leaving the Shaolin Temple, which he has been staying in since he was born, thinking that he will stay for a lifetime, and never thought that one day he would not be accepted by him, but listening to the words of rejection of the brothers and sisters, Xuzhu is keenly aware that he is not welcome in the Shaolin Temple, he is no longer accommodated by the Shaolin Temple, he must leave, so he will learn to be like those big monks who go out to walk as adults, pack their bags and prepare to go to the feet.

For the unknown world outside, to say that he was only five years old and had never left the temple one step away from the Xuzhu, it was impossible to be afraid, his palms of fear had been trembling, and he had been chanting that the Buddha would bless him, so that he could have the courage to step out of the Shaolin Temple, but he was strong and fearless in disguise, and he was still out of the temple, and he couldn't help crying when he looked at the strange environment around him.

In addition to his reluctance to Shaolin Temple and the hurt caused to him by his brother's words, he cried more because of the fear of unknown helplessness.

So now Xia Xiyan looked at him with bright eyes and asked him if he wanted to go back to Gusu with him, and Xuzhu nodded completely out of instinct.

Xia Xiyan saw Xuzhu nodding and reached out to rub his head, then took his hand and said, "Then you will call me godmother in the future!" Now you first accompany the godmother to the Shaolin Temple to meet someone, and then take you back to meet some brothers and sisters after seeing the godmother, tomorrow we will leave for Gusu Yanziwu, Yanziwu, you don't know, right? It's Godmother's home, and it will be your home in the future! ”

This time, Xuzhu didn't break free from Xia Xiyan's hand holding him, so he was held by Xia Xiyan's big and warm hand for him and took him home!

'Home', this word that has not been heard much since the Xuzhu Chronicle, is occasionally heard from the mouths of the lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple.

That was when he followed the master to deliver food to the Shaolin Temple kitchen, and saw those Shaolin lay disciples who had been relieved and could go back to their 'home' to see, watching them leave the temple with their bags on their backs, and watching them talk about the happy and happy appearance of their parents, relatives and friends at home, Xuzhu would always can't help but touch his different head from them, his bare, while those Shaolin lay disciples have hair buns.

And with a bun, the great monk once told them that he still has a constant relationship with the world, but he has been bareheaded since he remembered, and he has no connection with the world.

Xuzhu has always known that he is an orphan, only a full moon was abandoned in the Shaolin Temple vegetable garden, was picked up by the big monk who watched the vegetables and took the Shaolin Temple to raise, and the Shaolin Temple will adopt a lot of orphans like him every year to be a little monk, they are usually hungry, but they can speak, so they have no choice to follow the big monks to start chanting and meditating, but also according to the level of Shaolin Temple to do something, so they in Shaolin Temple, is not too much 'home' warmth.

Xu Zhu sometimes saw those lay disciples carrying a mountain full of food, talking about the happy appearance of his parents at home, and he also stupidly thought about whether his parents would also care about him so much and love him.

I also thought that my parents would come and take him away and live a life of 'home'. It's just that this kind of thought, always when being bullied by other monks, Xuzhu will be exposed, but usually he is stupid and contented to live in Shaolin Temple.

Xuzhu has always been very contented to live, even if because of the honesty of the character, often bullied by some shrewd little monks, Xuzhu doesn't care, he thought that he would be like the Huilun master who took them, slowly from a small monk to a big monk like him, and then chanted in Shaolin Temple for a lifetime, but he never imagined that his parents would suddenly appear, his mother would be Ye Erniang, who killed a lot of children, and his father would be the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

These news were already complicated for five-year-old Xuzhu, and before he could be happy to know who his parents were, he immediately received the news of their deaths.

And these blows to Xiao Xuzhu have not yet been fully understood, and things began to squeeze him extremely out of the Shaolin Temple. He just went to see Ye Erniang, and when he walked there, there would be monks of all sizes pointing at him and speaking ill of him. These exclusions forced Xuzhu to pack up his baggage and leave the Shaolin Temple.

And now, a woman who has been releasing kindness to him is willing to take him home, and Xuzhu feels that his heart is filled with something and swells.

"The swallow dock is very beautiful, when the time comes, you and the godmother's son will live in a yard, the scenery there"

Xia Xiyan took Xuzhu's hand and slowly led him up the mountain, and found that Xuzhu was holding her hand a little tightly, so she was afraid that Xuzhu was afraid of the unknown life, so she told him a lot of things about Yanziwu and Murong Fu.

And Xuzhu listened to what Xia Xiyan said, and watched Xia Xiyan hold his hand. He didn't know if the hand he was holding would be so warm in the future, but he just wanted to grasp the warmth of this moment, and he could hold it for as long as he could.

"Godmother's son and niece, they will get along very well, don't be afraid!" Xia Xiyan saw that there was still some distance up the mountain, but Xuzhu was wearing simple straw sandals, and the road on the mountain was stumbling, so she leaned over and hugged him and said to him, "Xuzhu, godmother, hurry up and see an old monk, after we see you, let's go see your brother and sister, okay?" ”

Xuzhu was picked up, although he was a little unaccustomed to blushing, but he nodded obediently, Xia Xiyan asked him to hug her neck, and then flew to Shaolin Temple quickly with light skills.

When Xia Xiyan arrived at the gate of Shaolin Temple, he found that Xuzhu noticed that his whole body was a little stiff, so he did not take him to the main gate, but found a remote wall to sneak in, and then took Xuzhu to avoid the monk he met on the road, touched the more remote place behind the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and then put Xuzhu down, and then prepared to whisper in the direction of the Zangjing Pavilion 'Old-timer' to call the sweeping monk out, but he heard the sweeping sound behind him.

"Senpai!" Xia Xiyan turned around and was a little embarrassed to see the sweeping monk holding his broom and sweeping the ground, so he asked Xuzhu to stand in place and wait for her, and she took the initiative to approach the sweeping monk and called him respectfully.

"The female monk of Murong is here!" The sweeping monk stopped sweeping the floor in his hand, and raised his head to Xia Xiyan with a kind smile.

Xia Xiyan also smiled back at him, and then asked him why he called her here.

"The old monk called the female monk Murong to come today, because he wanted to ask about the situation of the monk Murong!" The sweeping monk asked Xia Xiyan about Murong Bo as if he was asking an old friend, but it made Xia Xiyan feel cold on his back.

"It's been more than a year since he died!" Xia Xiyan looked at the eyes of the sweeping monk, and didn't dare to hide anything, so she directly said the real time when Murong Bo was poisoned by her after faking his death.

"Passed away?" The sweeping monk looked at Xia Xiyan with some confusion and muttered the word 'passing', and Xia Xiyan felt that her head was dizzy.

"Master, the sweeping monk is spying on your primordial spirit, don't look into his eyes, I'm cutting off the interference of his voice to you."

When Xia Xiyan was dazed, he suddenly heard the sound of the system, and immediately turned his head vigilantly to avoid the eyes of the sweeping monk.

And the sweeping monk's mouth moved a few times and said something, but Xia Xiyan didn't hear it again, and his mind became clearer and clearer.

The sweeping monk saw that he was curious about the death of Murong Bo, who faked his death, and unconsciously used the sound transmission to search for souls**, first he was useful to Xia Xiyan and confused him, and also let her spy on some of her spirit, knowing that Xia Xiyan did not lie to him when he said that Murong Bo died, but later found out that he wanted to further manipulate Xia Xiyan to say that Murong Bo died of something, but he could no longer spy on Xia Xiyan's spirit, and the voice did not interfere with Xia Xiyan at all.

"Interesting, interesting!" The sweeping monk found out that his transmission soul searching ** was ineffective against Xia Xiyan, and he was not angry, but felt that Xia Xiyan's unknown kung fu was very interesting.

"Master, he retracted the attack." While notifying Xia Xiyan, the system lifted the sound shield of the sweeping monk, so that Xia Xiyan happened to hear what the sweeping monk said, 'interesting'.

"Murong Jushi, he stole Shaolin martial arts classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion only a few years later than Xiao Jushi, and he returned them after Xiao Jushi greedily took away the scriptures and copied them. He has not studied Buddhism, and the hidden dangers on his body are even greater than those of Xiao Jushi, I originally called you this time, and I was going to send a few Buddhist scriptures for Murong Laywoman to take to him to see, and resolve the anger on his body, but I didn't expect that Murong Jushi was dead. As he spoke, the sweeping monk took out the two scriptures in his sleeve, looked at Xia Xiyan, and then looked at the virtual bamboo behind Xia Xiyan, and then took out a book from his sleeve, and then handed it to her and said, "Since Murong Layman is dead, then these scriptures will be given to Murong Laywoman and the little monk that Murong Laywoman is going to take away today!" ”

Xia Xiyan was a little flattered and took the book handed over by the sweeping monk, the sweeping monk smiled slightly at Xia Xiyan, recited a Buddhist sentence and turned around and swept the ground away.

Xia Xiyan saw the sweeping monk leaving, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand and watch his back. I don't know what the sweeping monk called her for today?

Could it be that he was just curious that after Murong Bo was killed by her, he would not come to the Scripture Pavilion?

What was the purpose of the spiritual attack on her before?

Xia Xiyan was confused, and the system informed Xia Xiyan of his new discovery of the sweeping monk.

"Master, the sweeping monk just wanted to spy on your spirit, and he used the sound transmission soul search of the Freedom Sect**!"

"Then this sweeping monk is really the ancestor of the Loose Sect?" Xia Xiyan asked the system with some surprise, but the system said, "Although the sweeping monk used the martial arts of the Sweeping Monk, it is the possibility of the Carefree Patriarch, according to the data analysis, its accuracy rate can only reach 70%, not 100%, if the master wants to determine the identity of the sweeping monk, it is better for the master to ask him directly." I could feel that he had no ill will towards his master. ”

"Just ask?" Xia Xiyan was a little moved by the system, and looked up to look at the sweeping monk, but found that the sweeping monk was slowly sweeping the ground with a broom while leaving, I don't know why Xia Xiyan saw the sweeping monk's serious sweeping behavior, and the curiosity in his heart about his identity before entering the temple suddenly disappeared.

Who is the sweeper? The sweeping monk didn't want to mention it, but only recognized an old monk who swept the floor in Shaolin Temple, so he is such a monk now.

"Xuzhu, we're going home!" Xia Xiyan put away a few scriptures in his hand, then bowed in the direction where the sweeping monk left, turned around and walked to Xuzhu, who had been standing obediently looking at her, picked up Xuzhu, and left Shaolin Temple.

"Mother!"

"Old lady!"

Xia Xiyan returned to the inn with Xuzhu in her arms, and was surrounded by Murong Fu and them who were waiting outside the inn.

"Mother, why did you bring a little monk back?" Murong Fu was the first to see the void bamboo in Xia Xiyan's arms, and couldn't help but ask Xia Xiyan. Xia Xiyan put the void bamboo on the ground, and then led him to Murong Fu and they introduced him.

"This is my newly recognized godson, Xuzhu, Xuzhu, this is the brother that the godmother mentioned to you before, this is the godmother's nephew Queen Yuyan, this is Abi, Azhu, and Azi."

Xia Xiyan led Xuzhu and led everyone back to her room.

When they went back, they solemnly let them know each other, Xuzhu stared at Murong Fu and them with big eyes curiously, Murong Fu looked at him with some frowns and held Xia Xiyan's hand tightly, and Ah Zhu and they looked at Xuzhu very curiously.

Children, you look at me, I look at yours, no one spoke at first, but in the end, Xiao Azi looked at Xuzhu excitedly and asked him, "Are you the new brother?" ”

"Brother!?" Xu Zhu tilted his head and looked at Xiao Ah Zi with some doubts, but Xiao Ah Zi thought that Xu Zhu recognized him as his younger brother and said more excitedly, "You are the new brother, then you will call me Sister Ah Zi in the future!" ”

"Sister Zi!?" Xuzhu saw that Ah Zi was happy, so he called Ah Zi honestly, and Ah Zi, who had always been happy, could only call other people's sisters, and stretched out her little fat hand, learning from Ah Zhu's tone when they spoke to her, and grabbed Xu Zhu and said, "Brother Xuzhu, Sister Ah Zi will take care of you in the future!" ”

"Poof!" Xia Xiyan couldn't help laughing when she saw Ah Zi, who was less than three years old, pulling Xuzhu, who was a few heads taller than her, to call her brother, and Xuzhu was stupidly calling Ah Zi her sister.

Murong Fu, who had some rejection of Xuzhu, couldn't help laughing when he saw Xuzhu like this, and then read Xuzhu's sentence 'silly boy' in his heart.

"Ah Zi, Xuzhu is older than your sisters, and he is your elder brother, not his younger brother!" Xia Xiyan touched Ah Zi's bun and explained to her that Xuzhu was bigger than her.

"Ah, wasn't he a latecomer? How can it be an older brother? Ah Zi puffed out her bun face with some disappointment, looked at Xia Xiyan, Xia Xiyan saw that she was in order to set the size, so she nodded her cute round nose and told her about the size by age.

"Then he's Brother Xuzhu, isn't he Brother Xuzhu?" After Ah Zi understood, she muttered even more dejectedly, "Ah Zi thought that she could take care of her younger brother as a young lady this time!" ”

Xia Xiyan touched her head to comfort her, but Ah Zi was depressed, and happily pulled Xuzhu to see her gadgets, obviously liking Xuzhu.

Xia Xiyan saw that under the leadership of Ah Zi, Xuzhu slowly let go of the restraint and discomfort of coming to an unfamiliar environment, and restored the child's nature to play with Ah Zi with her gadgets, and also talked to Ah Zhu who asked him a lot of things curiously, so he put his mind at ease to Xuzhu.

"Why does my mother want to take him?" Murong Fu saw Xuzhu playing with Ah Zi and them on the side, so he asked Xia Xiyan about Xuzhu in a low voice.

Xia Xiyan didn't hide anything from Murong Fu, she told Xuzhu's life experience in general, and then also explained the reason why she took in Xuzhu.

"He's so small, he can be a foot monk! I saw that he was quite attractive to me, so I accepted him as a godson, and you will have a brother in the future, no matter what happens, you will have a response! ”

"Mother!" Murong Fu listened to Xia Xiyan's words, and his rejection of Xuzhu disappeared completely, and he felt that Xia Xiyan's adoption of Xuzhu was completely for him to have a companion, and his heart was still sweet.

Xia Xiyan saw at a glance what Murong Fu, who was sitting on the side, was thinking, and did not explain to him that she took in Xuzhu, in fact, she was more distressed about Xuzhu, and her mind moved to accept her as a godson, so that Murong Fu had a younger brother, and Azhu and they had one more brother, and they just hoped that their relationship would be more intimate and they would be able to rely on each other more when they grow up.

With this she gone, they became a rope, and she was assured that they would take care of each other.

"Auntie, let's go out for a walk!" When Xia Xiyan was thinking about Murong Fu and what would happen when they grew up, Wang Yuyan on the side saw the bustling crowd outside the inn, so she fell into Xia Xiyan's arms with some excitement and told Xia Xiyan to go out for a walk.

Xia Xiyan saw that it was still early, so she agreed with Wang Yuyan's suggestion, scratched her nose, and then led her out of the inn with a group of people.

"Go to the ready-to-wear shop first, and buy a few clothes for Xuzhu first!"

Xia Xiyan walked out and saw Xuzhu being led by Ah Zi to tell her little interesting things, and found that Xuzhu had thin monk's robes and straw sandals, so she thought of buying some clothes and shoes for Xuzhu.

"Female Shi cough godmother, Xuzhu doesn't need new clothes! Void bamboo has! Xuzhu first called Xia Xiyan wrong, Xia Xiyan coughed, and asked him what he wanted to call her, Xuzhu called Xia Xiyan a little bit 'godmother', and then subconsciously turned around to take the burden, only to remember that his burden was unloaded by Xia Xiyan when he entered the inn, put it aside, and now he didn't bring it out.

"Godmother knows that Xuzhu has clothes, but those are not suitable for Xuzhu to wear in the future, so Godmother needs to buy a few new clothes for Xuzhu, if Xuzhu likes to wear monk's robes very much, and when she returns to Yanziwu, Godmother will also let people prepare them for you."

Xia Xiyan's words made Xuzhu touch his little bald head and didn't know how to refuse, so he was pulled into a ready-to-wear shop by Xia Xiyan and bought him a lot of clothes and shoes in one go.

"The female godmother is enough, enough, Xuzhu only needs two sets of clothes a year! So much, I don't know when I wear it! Xuzhu stopped Xia Xiyan's crazy purchase behavior for him, Xia Xiyan looked at the Xuzhu who had changed out of the monk's robe and put on ordinary clothes, although he felt that the current Xuzhu was not wearing monk's clothes, the cuteness of the blessing of the little monk's identity, but he felt that such a Xuzhu was more like an ordinary child, rather than not knowing what path to choose his life, so he had no choice to be forcibly pushed to be the monk who kept the rules and precepts, ate fasting and recited the Buddha.

If Xuzhu is an adult, he has fallen in love with the life of a monk completely because of his habits for many years, Xia Xiyan will not change the mentality and life of Xuzhu as a monk, but Xuzhu, who is only five years old, Xia Xiyan hopes that he can be like an ordinary child, have a simple and happy childhood, and have colorful growth choices. It is not because he grew up in Shaolin Temple and has no other choice to be a monk for the rest of his life, and he does not experience other joys and sorrows in life.

"Brother Xuzhu, can you touch your bald head for me?" Ah Zi looked at the virtual bamboo that did not wear a monk's robe, but highlighted the bare little head more obviously, and he wanted to touch it with itchy hands.

"Ah Zi" Xia Xiyan heard that Ah Zi was going to touch Xuzhu's bald head, and she couldn't cry and laugh to interrupt her whimsy, but Xuzhu was already squatting down with a good temper, giving you Ah Zi, who was much shorter, and touched his bald head.

As soon as Ah Zi touched it, Ah Zhu and Wang Yuyan also called Xuzhu 'brother' with great curiosity, and begged him to touch them, Xuzhu kept squatting and touched their heads before standing up, and Xia Xiyan on the side didn't know what to say.

But seeing that the children were very happy, she didn't say anything, and asked Lu Yan to send the clothes bought by Xuzhu back to the inn, and she continued to take a few children to continue shopping, buying some small snacks that the children would eat on the way tomorrow, some gadgets that the children loved, and seeing the time for dinner, Xia Xiyan was ready to take them back to the inn.

"Xuzhu, Yan'er, Azhu, Abi, Azi, you have seen enough, we will go back when we have seen enough"

"Ah Zhu, Ah Zi?"

Xia Xiyan looked at Xuzhu and a few little girls, gathered in front of a clay figure stall, and asked them out loud if they wanted to go back, but they were only halfway through the words when they were interrupted by a high-pitched voice □□ Lai.
