Chapter 39: Friends
One can't live without a friend at any time, and God seems to know that very well, so he sends a friend to Archer when he decides to go on his own, even though this friend makes him jump when he first appears.
It was already dawn, but Archer's anger had not subsided, and until now, he couldn't help but stare at the people around him.
"What are you going to do and where are you waiting for me? What do you want to make a sudden noise? ”
The little monk in white beside him touched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "The little monk gave himself a sign yesterday, knowing that yesterday was the day when the little monk went down the mountain, and the sign said that the little monk was traveling together, and the little monk was waiting for the donor there. ”
Archer snorted, "Then how do you know that the signature says it's me?" ”
He paused and said with a wicked smile: "Maybe it refers to a pretty lady with a ******** figure?" If that's the case, wouldn't you have lost a good relationship with your little bald head? ”
The little monk ignored his ridicule, nor did he get angry, but said seriously: "The little monk is a monk, and a monk cannot become his own son." ”
Archer was originally joking with him, but now when he heard his serious answer, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his tone was even more disdainful.
"Cut, what's wrong with the monks? Now there are not many wild monks who bully women in the name of monks and trick them into giving birth to their own children. ”
The little monk said solemnly: "The Buddha gate is pure, such a wild monk, you can't enter my Buddha gate." ”
Archer deliberately provoked him: "Can you still make them eat the wind and fart?" ”
The little monk was stunned by his rude words, and said lightly: "If the little monk encounters them, he will definitely kill them and return the Buddha to purity." ”
Archer couldn't help but shrink his neck, this little bald head is okay, if you don't get angry, you won't be angry, and you will be angry all your life. Don't blink an eye.
"Don't lead people to good?" He said tentatively.
The little monk clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha, and said, "Pudu is a matter for the Bodhisattva, and what the little monk has to do is to send him to see the Bodhisattva." ”
…… Archer sneered and closed her mouth. He didn't speak anymore, and he didn't even dare to complain anymore at this time, and he was a little glad that what he just said didn't anger the little bald head, otherwise this little bald head like a stuffy gourd who seemed to have some skills might suddenly burst out and hack him to death......
The little monk was shrewd and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the little monk won't be able to become a Buddha." ”
Archer sneered, "It can be done." Can it be done, don't you monks always say, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, and anyone who kills a pig can become a Buddha, it doesn't make sense that you, a monk who recites scriptures, can't become a Buddha? ”
The little monk shook his head with a smile, and did not tell him to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, but the Buddha's words to guide people to be kind should not be true. Even if the butcher puts down the butcher's knife with bloody hands, it will not alleviate the sins of the past, and those who should go to hell will still go to hell.
The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Archer was not a person who could stand loneliness. After holding it for a long time, I finally couldn't help but say: "My name is Archer, since God has destined us to walk this road together, then you always have to tell me what is your name, right?" ”
The little monk said: "The little monk's name is plain white. ”
Plain white? Archer glanced at the monk's robe on his body, and sure enough, it was plain and white.
Archer has never liked white clothes, because they are easy to get dirty and difficult to wash, and because he thinks white is a little stuffy, which beggar have you ever seen begging in white? Those dressed in white are heroes.
Archer doesn't like heroes, and he's seen a lot of people who call themselves heroes get up from their pussies' bellies and leave without paying to pat their butts, and their chins are still raised before leaving. arrogant, as if he prostituted that girl was the ancestor of that girl. Every time Archer sees this kind of hero, he will look down on him in his heart, and even curse the hero very viciously if he has flower willow disease one day.
Su Bai is not a hero. Archer has never seen a hero with a bare head, but Su Bai is wearing a white dress, and Archer has never seen a monk wearing such a bright color.
He felt that Su Bai might be a very coquettish monk in his heart. Of course, he would only think about this idea secretly in his heart, and then cover his mouth and smile secretly, never daring to show the slightest strange feeling in front of Su Bai.
Su Bai seemed to sense that there was something unusual about him. But he didn't say anything, he still walked his way very indifferently, and when he passed through the village, he began to turn into fate.
The village is very poor, and there is no extra food to help this handsome monk who travels far away, and after half a day, Su Bai only got a bowl of water and a steamed bun secretly stuffed by a little lady with a red face.
A bowl of water, a steamed bun, if you eat it alone, it is not enough to stuff your teeth, let alone two people.
But without saying a word, Su Bai handed Archer the water and steamed buns, and motioned for him to eat, and the kind little monk seemed to prefer to starve himself rather than let his friends starve.
Archer was also very moved, so he decided not to disappoint his kindness, he very simply took the water and steamed buns handed by Su Bai, took a sip of steamed buns and water, and quickly swallowed all these things into his stomach.
Su Bai asked him with a smile, "Is the donor full?" ”
Archer touched his stomach, smashed his mouth, and said unsatisfied: "Barely full." ”
Su Bai nodded, turned around and continued walking.
Archer followed with some embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't leave you a mouthful." ”
Su Bai shook his head disappreciatively, stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, "Look." ”
Archer was stunned.
There is a small noodle stall in this poor village.
Archer pouted: "With such a small stall, the cooked things must not be delicious." ”
Su Bai asked, "Has the donor eaten it?" ”
Archer turned his head a little unnaturally, of course he hadn't eaten it, and it was impossible for him to know if the food here was good or not, but he knew very well that if they didn't have money, whatever it was would not taste good in their mouths.
Who knew that Su Bai actually walked over slowly and sat down at a table steadily.
Archer's eyes widened, and he immediately followed, because he was afraid that this little monk had never gone out and didn't know how to eat other people's things and have to pay for it.
But in the next second, his eyes widened.
Because Su Bai didn't know where to find a few copper plates, put them on the table, and said to the owner of the stall: "Please ask the donor to give the little monk a bowl of somen noodles." ”
The owner of the noodle stall immediately stretched out his greasy hand to put away the copper plate, and turned to give him the following. Because the other party is a monk. The boss didn't dare to fool around, so for the first time, he carefully washed his hands that had not been washed for a long time.
Su Bai smiled and nodded: "The people here are simple and simple, and the people are very amiable. ”
Archer didn't care about this, just glared at him and said, "Where did you get the money?" ”
Su Bai said suddenly: "Although the little monk is said to be a monk. But when I went down the mountain, Master specially asked me to bring some money with me in case I needed it. ”
Archer said, "Then why did you only order a bowl of noodles?" ”
Su Bai said: "Because the little monk can't eat two bowls!" ”
…… Archer took a deep breath, pointed at himself, and said, "What about me?" I don't have to eat? ”
Su Bai blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "Donor." Didn't you just say you were full? ”
…… Archer suddenly felt that this seemingly innocent and kind little monk was wilting in his bones! This friend really can't do it!
……
The Xie Mansion in Tanghua Hutong in Shangjing City suddenly became lively, and the fourth master of the Xie family dragged his family to come with his mouth, and naturally occupied the courtyard where the old man Xie lived, Xie Zhen was of course very happy, and packed up his things and moved over to squeeze with them on the same day.
Xie Jue hadn't seen her for a few months, so he couldn't recognize her for a while, so he put his arm around Xie Yun's neck and didn't let go, only timidly and quietly looked at her when Xie Zhen wasn't paying attention.
Xie Zhen couldn't help laughing.
Xie Yun was a little embarrassed, feeling that she was taking the lead, and she was worried that Xie Zhen would mind. Busy explained: "The little brother may be sleepy. ”
Xie Hao was grateful for her kindness, but she didn't want the family to be so angry, so she smiled and said, "It's not in the way, in the past few months since I was away, you were playing with him, and it wasn't strange that he kissed you." ”
Xie Yun smiled slightly, feeling that this arrogant sister in the past had really changed too much.
Xie Zhen noticed her warmth, and was about to take this opportunity to say a few more words with her to enhance her relationship, but who knew that Mrs. Xie Si, who had returned from Xie Mansion on the other side of Baiyang Hutong, rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged her shoulders and pressed her in her arms. The heart and liver are baby, and the call is non-stop.
Xie Zhen only felt a little inexplicable and a little headache, and looked up at Xie Yun with an embarrassed face.
Xie Zhen thought about it and made a gesture to Xie Yun, who nodded knowingly. gently patted Xie Jue's back and hugged him to avoid it.
Xie Zhen gently patted Mrs. Xie's arm and begged for mercy: "Mother, relax a little, I'm about to run out of breath." ”
Fourth Mrs. Xie seemed to realize that her arms were too tight, and she hurriedly let go of her hand. Holding her shoulder, he hurriedly said, "Zhen'er, are you okay?" ”
Xie Zhen rubbed her neck, shook her head slowly, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, what did the eldest aunt say to you, why did you rush into such a hurry?" ”
Mrs. Xie wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Mother, this is not in a hurry, she is happy, my Zhen'er is a good girl with a kind heart." ”
Xie Zhen was even more confused.
It turned out that when Mrs. Xie Si had just crossed the Baiyang Hutong, she heard Mrs. Xie talk about how Xie Zhen saved the little beggar and her three sons on the street that day, and how vicious the big man was at that time, but Xie Zhen was righteous and fearless, which only made Mrs. Xie feel proud and distressed.
Xie Zhen listened to Mrs. Xie Si sobbing and sobbing for a long time, and only then could she barely hear what she was talking about, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Fourth Mrs. Xie held her chest and said with palpitations: "But, Zhen'er, kindness is a good thing, but next time you can't be so impulsive, if you are really injured, what can you do with your mother?" ”
Xie Zhen subconsciously wanted to say that there was no case, but when she saw her mother's tears rippling, she still said a few soft words, promising to think twice before encountering this kind of thing in the future.
Mrs. Xie Si stopped her tears at this time, but she was still very proud in her heart, and thought that Mrs. Xie praised Xie Zhen for her well-behaved and intelligent in front of her today, and said that she sang and played the pipa with Yu Jiuniang at the palace plum banquet that day, so she was even more proud that she had raised such an outstanding daughter as Xie Zhen, and decided to wait until she saw Xie Si Master in the evening, and she must have a good talk with her husband, which also made him happy.
At the moment, although Mrs. Xie was proud, she was not so forgetful, thinking that her daughter was in the limelight at the plum banquet that time, maybe it was because of Yu Jiuniang's presence, so out of order to consolidate Xie Zhen's circle of friends in Shangjing, Mrs. Xie decided to invite Yu Jiuniang to the house as a guest.
Xie Zhen didn't know that her mother had so much thought. But there is no objection to inviting Yu Jiuniang to be a guest, in fact, they haven't seen each other for a long time since that outing.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhen felt that if she invited guests to dinner, there would be more people to make it more lively. She immediately thought of inviting her eldest brother Xie Zhang to come, but she didn't plan to tell Yu Jiuniang about the guest list, she wanted to surprise Yu Jiuniang, she believed that she would be very happy to see Xie Zhang when Yu Jiuniang came that day.
But if she complains about her later, don't tell her beforehand. It hurts that she is not mentally prepared or even dressed up properly, so what should I do?
Xie Zhen didn't feel like she was thinking too much at all, and this guess would come true nine times out of ten. You must know that a girl always wants to be perfect in front of the person she likes.
Forget it. Xie Zhen shook her head and decided to let Zhu Jian bring a message to Yu Jiuniang, so that she could dress up and come back that day.
After sending the post to Yu Jiuniang, Xie Zhen asked Yunlai to go to Ye Xunhuan's residence again, which was the address they only knew when they sent Ye Xunhuan home after the last party.
"This is a temporary place for me to stay, as long as I am in the capital, I will live here more, if you have anything. And he sent for me. Ye Xunhuan said this to her at that time, and she didn't explain why she didn't show her tone at all when the two of them got along before.
The two girlfriends handed over the post, and Xie Zhen went out again to find the third brother Xie Jue, and when she crossed the threshold, she saw Xie Yun still holding Xie Jue on the corridor.
Xie Yun suddenly looked up and met her gaze, and was a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing whether to turn her head and pretend not to see it or to say hello to her generously.
Xie Zhen smiled, didn't embarrass her, and took the initiative to speak, "Sister Yun." I'm going to hold a small party at the house in a few days, and you can be lively together, and I'll introduce you to two friends, they are both good people. You're going to love them. ”
Xie Yun bit her lip in a cramped manner, and then plucked up her courage and said, "Okay." ”
Xie Hao squinted and smiled with satisfaction.
Xie Jue, who was buried in Xie Yun's shoulder, looked at her quietly again.
Xie Zhen blinked, smiled evilly and patted his little buttocks lightly and said, "Xie Xiaojue, sister has sugar here, do you want to eat it?" ”
Xie Jue glanced at her, wanting to eat but embarrassed to speak. Only twisted in Xie Yun's arms.
Xie Zhen said deliberately: "Don't want to eat? I'll keep that sister and eat it by myself! ”
She turned around and gestured to leave.
Xie Jue was anxious for a moment, and reached out and grabbed her bun.
"Eat!"
Xie Zhen was coldly pulled by his hair, and tears were about to hurt out, but Xie Jue didn't feel that he had hurt his sister at all, only blinked a pair of grape-like watery eyes, and said flatteringly: "Eat...... Eat. ”
Seeing this, where could Xie Zhen bear to blame him? only gently rescued his hair from his palm, and then pulled his fleshy little fat hand, and coaxed: "If you want to eat candy, call me sister." ”
Xie Jue is a smart child, and he knows that shouting his sister can be exchanged for a piece of candy without suffering, so he didn't hesitate much, and called out in a milky voice, "Sister." ”
Eh, that's a good sound. The smile on the corner of Xie Hao's mouth became even stronger, and she had to open her hand inch by inch.
"If you want candy, give my sister a hug."
Xie Jue hesitated for a long time, tilting his head and wondering if he wanted to hug her.
Xie Hao deliberately sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't hold it, I'll eat this candy myself." ”
She shook her head and turned to leave.
But Xie Jue, who was behind him, immediately said: "Hug!" ”
Xie Zhen turned around, and saw the little fat man with an anxious face and a large open hand leaning out of most of his body in Xie Yun's arms.
This little fat man.
Xie Hao snorted and took a step forward to take him into his arms. (To be continued.) )
