Chapter Twenty-Four: The Old Man Comes
It turned out that the proprietress learned about a kind of evil art five years ago, which made a lantern from the skin of the former enemy of the conjuring spirit, lit the lantern on the full moon, and danced the conjuring dance under a large locust tree, so that the soul of the person who was called back could be returned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It took the proprietress five years to kill the enemies one by one, peel off the skin, and just wait for this last fight. Unexpectedly, because Erbao killed Miss Bai to hide the corpse of the fire kang, he was discovered by Su San and them, which led to his plan being revealed, and he had to flee in a hurry with the prepared lantern.
After she fled, Yi Rong came to this small temple, which she was very familiar with back then, and knew that there was a tall locust tree in the courtyard, and as long as she waited for a day until the full moon night, she could attract the soul of her beloved, tell him that she had avenged his aunt's family for him, and tell him what she had missed all these years, and it was these thoughts and hatred that had supported her for so many years.
But now, the lantern is destroyed, and all hope is completely lost.
When the group returned to the ruined temple, the proprietress turned ashen, and her eyes were now dead.
Su San comforted: "Maybe, maybe that person has been reincarnated." β
"Yes, yes, after so many years, he must have been reincarnated, such an innocent and unjust death will definitely be able to cast into a good family, and he will suffer again in this life."
Wangdui also explained.
The proprietress shook her head and sighed long: "He, there is no way to reincarnate, because he is really without bones!" Why do I hate it so much? Those wicked men executed him and fed all his flesh and bones to the dogs, and let a pack of vicious dogs eat him up in front of me! β
The proprietress couldn't hold back any longer, covering her face with her hands, shrugging her shoulders and crying silently.
The dream that a person had insisted on for many years suddenly burst like a soap bubble, Su San looked at Luo Yin, and neither of them knew what to say.
The hot proprietress was gone, and the woman in front of her seemed to have been drained of all her energy, leaving only the walking dead. Su San thought to herself, after everyone left tomorrow, she might die in this broken temple, right? She has lost the courage and hope to live.
Several people sat around the fire, motionless, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
At this time, Wangdui suddenly stood up and rushed to the door in two steps.
Luo Yin also stood up, drew his gun, and waited.
"Who, sneaky, come out!"
It turned out that Wangdui closed his eyes and recuperated, and suddenly heard the sound of a tree branch breaking. He rushed out and saw the horse tied to the side kicking non-stop, his expression was very nervous, and he looked like someone was hiding there.
Wangdui walked over and shouted, "Get out, if you don't come out, I'll shoot." β
"Don't, don't shoot, I'm not a bad person."
A man walked out from behind the horse with his hands held high.
"Who are you?"
"Over...... Passing. β
The man looked up and saw the black muzzle of the gun, and he trembled with fear.
"What's the matter with this man?"
Su San asked, pointing to the person who had been pushed in. The man was unkempt and ragged, like a beggar.
"It must be a thief trying to steal our horses."
Wangdui shoved the man, and the man fell forward and fell to the ground, crying out to himself, "I'm not a thief."
"Not a thief? Running here in the middle of the night, still hiding behind the horse, isn't it stealing the horse for what? Wangdui sneered.
"Okay, although he is a thief, after all, he didn't steal anything from us, let him go."
Luo Yin waved his hand and asked Wangdui to send the man out.
The man stood up and stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not a thief, you're a thief!"
Wangdui scolded: "Bastard, you still dare to be hard-mouthed." "If you punch, you have to fight.
Su San hurriedly stopped: "Don't hit him, ask clearly." β
The man glanced at Su San and them, pointed to the shrine in front of them and said, "This is my home." You came to my house and said I was a thief, is there any reason? β
"Your home?"
Su San was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" It's a temple! β
At this time, the proprietress who had been keeping her head down raised her head, and her voice trembled slightly: "You come closer, let me see you." β
The man took two steps forward: "Look, I'm not papier-mΓ’chΓ©." This is my home, although it is dilapidated, it is also my home, and you are unreasonable. β
"Do you recognize Ling'er?"
The proprietress asked suddenly.
Now it was the man's turn to freeze.
He looked at the proprietress in a daze, the firelight shining on her tear-stained face, and her expression was pitiful.
The man couldn't help but reach forward: "Are you ...... Ling'er? β
"Are you Little Master Guoqing? You're alive? β
The proprietress excitedly took a few steps forward and took the man's hand.
The man's tears fell: "Miss Ling'er, are you still alive?" β
"I've been alive, I've heard them say that you went back to the world, why did you come back?"
It turned out that this person was the little monk in this temple.
"Something happened to your family, my master was also angry, I had nowhere to go, I went out to beg, I was arrested by those people, and I escaped some time ago."
After Guoqing finished speaking, he began to regret it, and looked at Su San and Luo Yin with a weak heart,
"Don't worry, Master Guoqing, they are good people and will not harm you. You were also captured by those people in Liangshan? β
"Yes, they beat me and forced me to do hard work. At the beginning of spring, the owner of the family disappeared, and the people of that family made a fuss, I took advantage of the chaos to escape, and I didn't dare to show up all the way to beg, so I thought about it, or go back to this temple and continue to be my monk. The way of this world...... Alas. β
Wangdui is a person who believes in Buddhism, and when he heard that this person was a monk, he hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Wangdui is reckless, please forgive Master." β
"The way I look now, where there is still a little bit of monk's appearance, no wonder you misunderstood."
Su San asked, "Then you plan to continue to become a monk here?" β
Guoqing nodded: "The world is so big, but there is no place for me to stand, only this broken temple, clean up, I still feel at ease to be a monk." β
He looked at the proprietress and said, "Miss Ling'er, you ...... How could it be ...... here?"
He looked at the proprietress with tears on her face, and wanted to ask her why she didn't dare to speak.
"I have nowhere to stay from now on, so I might as well become a monk here."
Su San was stunned for a moment when he heard this: Can this monk man and woman be in the same temple?
Wangdui said in a loud voice: "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot, it's rare for the boss lady to have such an idea, this is a good thing." Congratulations. β
In their concept of Xikang, there is no strict distinction between male and female teachers.
"You...... Want to become a monk? β
Guo Qing shook his head again and again: "How can a beautiful girl like you become a monk?" β
The proprietress smiled bitterly: "I have suffered so much because of this face, I have hurt my aunt's family and the people I love, and now that the revenge has been avenged, I have nothing to care about." β
After saying that, she suddenly bent down and picked up the branch in the fire, and pointed the pestle at her delicate face.
Su San and Wangdui both exclaimed, and Su San snatched the branch in her hand: "Boss, what are you doing?" β
It was already late, and a large piece of charred black color appeared on the proprietress face, and the skin and flesh were burnt.
The proprietress smiled and said: "This is also to help me, I don't want to be caught by Bai San's people, from now on there is no proprietress in this world, only a monk who eats fasting and recites Buddha." Let the green lantern of the ancient temple wash away all my sins. β
