Chapter Seventy-Eight: What a Blessing
These more than ten miles of journey, bumpy from morning to night, when they arrived at the temple, everyone felt that their waists and limbs were sore, and they wished that they would no longer be tired of driving and riding in this life.
The aunt asked Sister-in-law Li to carry the sleeping Chang Zhi back to the residence first, she was busy settling everyone, and she had to follow Jiang Zi to leave to meet the abbot, and she was obviously a little overwhelmed with a tired face.
The second aunt saw it too much, and only said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, it's all your own family, so naturally you can't mess up." ”
Everyone echoed and nodded, and the eldest aunt glanced at the second aunt too gratefully, and hurriedly left with Jiang Zi, who had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, there was no need to arrange it, because Jiang Zili had already made a decision before he came, and not long after everyone arrived, several lay female disciples came to guide them, and each of them followed them to their own residence.
Jiang Yiruo and Lu Ying'er live next door, and the door opposite is closed, thinking that it is a forbidden place. There was a crooked tree in front of the door, a little old, and the thick three people might not be able to trap it. The tree was short, with a somewhat empty trunk, but the branches were tenacious, bending and spreading to the wall opposite their dwelling.
Jiang Yiruo looked at the tree, frowned, and remained silent.
Lu Ying'er poked her and said with a smile: "It's really strange, there are some things here that interest our third miss." ”
Jiang Yiruo smiled perfunctorily and did not answer. turned around and followed Lu Ying'er to her yard.
Lu Ying'er's yard is very elegant, clean and neat, and it looks like a perennial inhabited place. This temple was originally maintained by the help of wealthy merchants, and it is said that it is a temple, except for worshipping some incense, it is to make a living by renting out the courtyard.
I think it was not long before the last group of people left, otherwise these courtyards would not be full of life.
"Let's go and have a look at your room." Jiang Yiruo walked straight to the house, she didn't look at the layout of the furnishings, only knocked on the walls and floor.
Lu Ying'er pursed her lips and laughed at her: "You, whenever you are in a strange place, you must be the most vigilant one, how about it, is there anything strange?" ”
Jiang Yiruo shook her head, frowned, and didn't speak, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find evidence that something was wrong.
"It seems that the answer will not be known until it happens." She thought silently, and suddenly felt a little happy at this moment. Jiang Zi was so close to Ji Tianyou, at least he could guarantee her safety.
Dinner was brought from each courtyard, simple millet porridge and green vegetables, accompanied by rice or steamed buns. Ji Tianyou and Xiaolian put their luggage away, and the two of them lay on the bed together, no one wanted to eat.
The tooth cub lay on the ground, looking at the cold porridge in front of him, with a look of disgust, this arrogant dog probably had long forgotten how he spent his two years of wandering, and it was now very foul-mouthed.
"Sister, let's get up and eat a little, just let people serve it out, let some people listen, and talk about it again." Xiaolian sat up with difficulty and enlightened like this.
Ji Tianyou lay there indifferent, and only turned his head for a long time and said, "Did I say I didn't want to eat?" ”
"Then you get up and eat?" Xiaolian was a little speechless.
Ji Tianyou suddenly looked at her with a smile and said flatteringly, "How about you feed me?" ”
"I'm so lazy to get home." Xiaolian sighed secretly, although she despised her mouth, the smile on her face couldn't help but disperse.
That night, everyone went to sleep, only Jiang Yiruo couldn't sleep on the bed.
She got up quietly, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and looked at the strange tree through the courtyard wall. The patrol men of the temple walked over here, and after about an hour, the trunk of the tree appeared unusual.
First heard the sound, and by the moonlight, Jiang Yiruo saw a person crawling out of the trunk of the tree, of medium stature, dressed in black, and masked.
Jiang Yiruo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her feeling really came true. neatly climbed over the wall and quietly followed behind the man, if that person dared to step into Lu Ying'er's courtyard gate, his life would be over.
Jiang Yiruo held the dagger in her hand, and she was confident that she would be killed with one sword.
But that person didn't enter Lu Ying'er's courtyard, he kept walking forward, turning right into the east wing.
There lived Ji Tianyou and the third aunt, and of course, the bodyguard Jiang Zili.
To follow or not to follow? Jiang Yiruo was a little hesitant, what if there were still people in the big tree, what if the tiger was transferred away from the mountain, she turned her head to look at Lu Ying'er's yard, shook her head and went back.
The night was uneventful, with no news of anyone being killed or property stolen. Jiang Yiruo was a little puzzled, so what did that person come to do? Spend a day in a tree trunk just to come out at night to breathe?
After resting for one night, the aunt's complexion was much better, and she took the sisters to the front yard of the temple to offer incense. At this time, there are many monks in the temple chanting, densely packed with bald heads.
Xiaolian couldn't help tugging at Ji Tianyou's sleeve and smiled secretly, Ji Tianyou understood what she meant, everyone had never seen so many bald heads, and they felt novel, and the little girl was even more.
The third aunt couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed, she didn't shy away from saying: "We came with Mr. last time, when I saw these monks, I felt inexplicably majestic, how can I feel that they have a sense of joy now?" ”
As soon as Jiang Yihan was mentioned, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and the second aunt said to the third aunt with a cold face: "Just count your words, the temple is a majestic quiet place, and what can only change is people's hearts, you might as well ask how your heart has changed." ”
The words of the second aunt have a point, and anyone can hear the heavy responsibility, but the third aunt, who has always been aggressive, has changed her normal state and is silent at this time.
Ji Tianyou was a little puzzled, as if the second aunt had restrained the third aunt, but the rumored third aunt was not like this, she quietly observed the expression of the third aunt, as if she wanted to open her mouth and was afraid of something, after all, she pouted and swallowed the words back from her mouth.
When they came to the temple, each of them invited incense, went in in order, and bowed down one by one and made a wish.
This was the first time that Ji Tianyou had participated in such a formal incense ceremony, and she was a little flustered because she didn't know what wish she should make when she walked in front of the Bodhisattva for a while.
Desireless and wantless, this is her current state, suddenly she thought of her gold, and thought of Jiang Yiruo's identity, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to atone for Jiang Yiruo, and then thought of Lu Ying'er, well, anyway, there is not one more of her, just ask for a safe return for the man named Jiang Yihan.
It was Lu Ying'er's turn to pay tribute to incense, but she cried in front of the Bodhisattva, Ji Tianyou understood that she was crying for Jiang Yihan, she didn't believe that he just left, but he really didn't hear from him at all.
Lu Yinger loves him, only helplessness and waiting.
Loving someone, so painful, what exactly do you want to counteract?
Ji Tianyou thought about this question again, and she stroked her chest, how glad she didn't love anyone anymore. (To be continued.) )
