"Miss!"
Crane Wang, completely unaware of what was going on, shouted and followed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Wan didn't seem to hear the shout of Hewang, staring straight in the direction of the top of the mountain, and the branches and leaves on the side of the road hit her face, and she didn't seem to feel it at all, so she ran regardless of it.
She remembered the tune, she remembered!
Li Wan felt that his heart was beating so fast, and it seemed that a barrier had been erected in his head, except for the increasingly clear sound of the flute, everything else was isolated.
Before the morning dew fell, the mossy stone steps were very slippery, and she swooped down too quickly, her elbow hit the stone steps, and her heart hurt.
"Miss, how are you?"
Crane Wang caught up and was about to help her, but she had already gritted her teeth and got up on her own and continued to run forward.
Crane Wang's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly followed behind her.
In just half an hour, Li Wan ran to the top of the mountain. At this time, the sound of the flute sounded in my ears, and the familiar tune was extremely clear. She clinged to an ancient tree beside her and looked eagerly ahead.
On the mountain rock of Linyuan, a man in white is blowing a flute, his tall and handsome figure is bathed in the rising morning light, and his robe dances with the wind, like an immortal who is about to return by the wind.
"Daddy......"
Li Guan couldn't help but hold his breath, and his fingers couldn't help but pick at the trunk.
Hewang looked at the back of the man in white, it didn't look like she knew her, she frowned and looked at Li Guan, and the whole person froze.
I saw Li Wan staring at him motionlessly, his face was pale, but his eyes were unusually bright, his eyes were as focused as a demon, flashing with a light of hope that was almost desperate.
She was shocked by this look, and her mind went blank for an instant.
"Who are you?"
A soft shout sounded, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in Tsing Yi standing beside the man in white looked at Li Wan and Hewang with a wary face.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly.
The man in white slowly turned around.
He looks like he is in his early twenties, his eyebrows are picturesque, his eyes are as clear as a clear spring, his skin is as clear as white jade, and the whole person is noble and refined, like a fairy who comes by the wind.
He looked at Li Guan, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Li Guan looked at him with wide eyes, and hot tears suddenly poured out. She grabbed the hem of her chest with her hands, and her bright eyes dimmed, like a dull midnight.
No, it wasn't......
She bowed, a taunt curling at the corners of her mouth.
How could it be, she was really stupid, how could someone who was no longer there more than ten years ago appear again......
Li Guan's face was full of tears, but she couldn't help laughing, laughing and laughing, she suddenly squatted down with the trunk of the tree and cried loudly.
"Miss......"
Crane looked at her distressedly and gently stroked her back with his hand.
"I'm fine." Li Guan suddenly stopped his tears and wiped the tears from his face indiscriminately.
She stood up with Hewang's hand, and when she looked up, her eyes turned black, her body went weak, and she fell into Hewang's arms.
Crane Wang was startled, and shouted to Miss while helping her to lean against the tree.
Li Guan's eyes were closed, and his face was as white as frost.
Crane Wang reached out and touched her pulse, and then pulled her arm with a solemn face and lifted the person on his back. She turned her head and glared at the man in white fiercely, and walked away with Li Wan on her back.
When their figures disappeared into the dense forest, the little boy in Tsing Yi muttered: "Where did the wild girl come from, crying and crying, it's really strange!" ”
The man in white stood still and did not speak.
"That woman is funny, she looks soft and weak, and she can't think of a kung fu. But she dared to be rude to her son, and next time I met her, I had to ...... it well."
"Star Lin." The man in white glanced at him lightly, "It's not too early, let's go back." ”
The boy in Tsing Yi hurriedly silenced and said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Dakong Temple is located in the south of the capital of Fulai Mountain, incense is very prosperous, is one of the most famous temples in Dakang.
The temple is built halfway up the mountain, and the wide and flat mountain path leads to the mountain gate. At this time, it is close to noon, and the mountain road is full of traffic, and the temple is full of monks and pilgrims.
Li Guan's side room is in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
When Xun Fang came in, Hewang sat at the round table in the middle of the outer room, his elbows resting on the table, his face contemplative.
Seeing her come in, Crane looked and said, "Is the medicine boiled?" ”
"Yes, according to the prescription you gave, I looked for the medicine taken by the people in the temple, I have carefully read each medicine, and I have been guarding it when I boiled the medicine, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Crane Wang nodded, took the medicine from her hand, and carried it into the room.
She carefully put the medicine on the table, turned around, and saw Li Wan lying on the bed and looking at her with her eyes open.
"Miss, you're awake."
Hewang was stunned for a moment before his face became happy, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and asked her softly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Li Guan shook his head slightly.
"That's good." Hewang was relieved, "Your body is not good yet, I asked Xun Fang to boil some medicine to calm the nerves, and you can sleep well after drinking it to nourish your spirit." ”
Li Guan said "um", looking a little absent-minded.
Hewang came over with the medicine to feed her, but she tilted her head: "I'll do it myself." ”
Hewang was not reluctant, helped her up and leaned against the head of the bed, and handed over the small blue and white porcelain bowl containing medicine.
Li Wan took it and drank it all in one breath without frowning.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
"Is there any news from Master Shikong?"
"Just now, the little master of Fazhao came and said that Master Shikong will not be empty when he lectures in the treasure hall today, so I will invite you to come over tomorrow."
Li Guan bowed his head slightly and lay down again. After a while, it may be that the effect of the medicine has come up, and I fall asleep in a daze.
The sun is setting, the sunset is sprinkled all over the sky, and the solemn house of the Great Empty Temple is plated with a layer of golden light. The pilgrims dispersed, the temple returned to tranquility, and the low and heavy bell rang and spread throughout the Fulai Mountain.
Li Wan woke up quietly, looking at the glow and faint bells through the window, she suddenly had the illusion that time stood still. After a moment's pause, she called someone in.
Xun Fang and Zhu Fang came in with copper basins and incense towels, and served her to freshen up quickly and carefully, with a little caution in their expressions.
"Miss, are you hungry, do you want to eat something?" Xun Fang asked with a smile, her eyes were slightly worried, Miss hadn't drunk a sip of water today.
Li Guan had now come to his senses, and when he heard her words, he really felt hungry, so he nodded.
Chu Fang immediately went out and said loudly: "Quick, bring the warm porridge and side dishes on the stove!" ”
As soon as Li Guan arrived at the table and sat down, Shengfang and Yuanfang led the little maid in, and the two of them neatly put a bowl of white porridge and six or seven side dishes on the table, and then Yuanfang wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Li Guan.
Li Wan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that several maids were all looking at him nervously. She took the chopsticks, put some fried bean sprouts in her mouth, chewed them a few times, and said with a smile: "It's delicious." ”
Xunfang was overjoyed.
"Miss, you are not well yet, eat some light food first, and when you are well, let the mother-in-law on the stove cook your favorite dishes."
Li Guan smiled slightly.
When Hewang entered the house, he saw the little maid coming out of Li Guan's room with dishes.
"Miss has eaten?"
"Hmm!" Chu Fang smiled and nodded, "I drank two bowls of white porridge in one go, and I also ate a lot of side dishes." ”
Hewang was infected by the joy in her tone, and his originally somewhat dignified face softened a lot. She lifted the curtain and entered the room, and Li Guan was being served by Xunfang to rinse her mouth.
Seeing her come in, Li Guan glanced at her, and waited for everyone else to retreat before asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Hewang took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her, Li Wan took it, and the words on the envelope looked familiar.
"The ibis was sent by someone?"
"Hmm."
Li Guan took out the letter and glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but sneer.
Hewang couldn't help but say angrily: "Miss, you are still laughing, you are all from her on weekdays, otherwise how dare she poke such a big basket." If she hadn't been able to hide it now, I don't think she would have told us at all! ”
"Don't worry, this matter won't matter for a while, it's just that it takes some effort to deal with it." Li Guan said calmly, "I think you should go to help her personally, lest she really go to find Jiang Bingsheng's theory on impulse, then it will be troublesome." ”
Crane Wang thought about it, and suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, and he couldn't wait to fly over and look at her immediately.
"But Miss, your illness ......"
"I still have Xunfang and them by my side, you can go with confidence, it's okay."
He Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go over and take a look, and if you have anything to do, send someone to send me a letter." ”
Li Wan thought of her as soon as he went, and nodded with a smile on his bitter little face.
Crane Wang went down the mountain overnight.
Early the next morning, Li Wan was still lying on the bed, and Xun Fang came in and said, "Miss, Master Fazhao has just asked someone to deliver the message, and Master Shikong invites you to come and sit down." ”
Li Wan hurriedly got up and freshened up, put on a bamboo blue gown, faced the sky, did not have a piece of jewelry on his body, and only brought Xunfang with him.
It was still early, and there were no pilgrims in the temple. Li Wan followed the little novice who led the way through the hall and came to the courtyard where Master Shikong lived on weekdays.
Fa Zhao greeted her at the gate of the courtyard.
"Girl, you're here."
"Master Fazhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
"Miss Lao is worried, the little monk is all right." Fa Zhao's face was kind, and his tone was calm, "Master is meditating, please come with me." ”
After that, he took Li Wan to the Zen room in the east.
"You're waiting for me outside."
"Yes." Looking for a blessing of respect.
Fa Zhao pushed open the door, and Li Guan walked in. In the simple, simple and empty Zen room, Master Shikong, dressed in a brown robe, sits on a cushion in front of the Buddha statue with his eyes closed, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
She slowly walked to Master Shikong's side, knelt on the empty cushion beside her, and kowtowed respectfully to the Buddha statue three times.
She straightened up and knelt on her lap, bowed her head, folded her hands, and said softly, "I've seen the master." ”
Master Shikong didn't open his eyes, and kept twisting the Buddha beads in his hand for a moment.
"Why are you here this time?"
Li Guan thought of what had happened recently, and he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she was finally silent.
The room was silent, and the morning bell rang faintly outside the window.
In the middle of the night, the slow and clear voice of Master Shikong suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Mingkui, you have a grudge in your heart."
