Chapter 15 It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all
The breeze blew, and the white robe was blown up by the wind, and even after a few years, Xue Qingyi often remembered the young man under the grapefruit tree who was as white as snow and had a special demeanor.
The sky gradually darkened, Xue Qingyi took off his hat and put it on the table, and sat down. After a while, no one came out to greet him, Xue Qingyi wondered if Sister-in-law Hu was not at home? The little Taoist under the grapefruit tree closed his eyes tightly, and he had already entered the realm of selflessness.
In her previous life, she had cultivated the Flame Heart Sutra and knew that it was very easy to go mad when cultivating, so she sat quietly on a stake stool, carefully protecting the Dharma for him in case things from the outside world interfered with him. If something happens, she can also act on the opportunity.
In the previous life, she only cultivated to the third layer of the Flame Heart Sutra, this scripture is too ruthless, and this East China Sea Buddha Bead is very mysterious, and the next layer of mental method will only appear on the Buddha bead through the urging of the upper layer of power. It's just because she has just cultivated to the third level, and she doesn't have Mahayana. So at this point, she only got the first three layers of mental methods.
If she wants to practice the heart method, she must regain the Buddha beads, but this opportunity is not in front of her, she remembers the winter of the nineteenth year of Detai, that is, the winter of next year, the East China Sea monk will bring his disciples to Jinling to build momentum, when she got the eyes of the monk, only to be fortunate to get the East China Sea Buddha beads. But for now, she can only stabilize these three layers of skills and wait for the opportunity to come.
After sitting for about a long time, Xue Qingyi's stomach faintly felt hungry. She got up and walked to the main entrance. There was a knock on the door, but no one answered. Thinking that Hu Bohu's sister-in-law was really not there, Xue Qingyi found an iron hoe in the bamboo basket in the corner of the wall according to his memory, and then returned to the garden, and slowly dug up the dirt soil, and after a while, he dug out two sweet potatoes of different sizes.
Xue Qingyi smiled lightly, put the iron hoe back into the bamboo basket, took a spoonful of water from the bucket at the door, rinsed the papaya, opened his mouth and took a bite, the entrance was crisp and sweet, and there was a faint fruity aroma, and it was still the taste in the memory.
Xue Qingyi couldn't help but take a bite again, looked at Jian Qiubai, who was still closing his eyes and staring, and thought that he would also dig one for Xiao Daojun to taste, he must have never eaten such a delicious melon and fruit.
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Xue Qingyi does not ask for much, just to be able to live comfortably. But in troubled times, she is already in the game, and if she wants to get out, she can't. Just wants revenge, maybe one day, she can let go of everything in her heart and live such a peaceful and happy life.
The early autumn nights are warm and cold, and the air is filled with a faint fruity aroma. Xue Qingyi calmed down, sat cross-legged, got rid of distracting thoughts, silently recited the Flame Heart Sutra, and began to cultivate again. After a few breaths, he also entered the realm of self-forgetfulness.
Time passed silently, and when she finished practicing the third layer of the mental method, the sky was slightly white. Seeing that Jian Qiubai still didn't move, Xue Qingyi couldn't help but feel sleepy and fell asleep against the wooden table.
The moment Jian Qiubai opened her eyes, she saw Tsing Yi lying on the table, with long black and shiny hair draped casually over her shoulders.
Jian Qiubai stood up, took off the Taoist robe on her body, and carefully draped it over her body. When he saw a bucket at the door of the house, he took a spoonful of water, took a sip, patted it lightly on his face, and washed it.
This time, he cultivated the "Imperial Spirit Technique" and benefited a lot, and there was a hidden aura gathering in the dantian. At the moment, he is just getting a glimpse of the doorway, but seeing the world is a different scene. This vast world is really mysterious.
At this time, two footsteps, one light and one heavy, came from far and near. "Old man, there are distinguished guests so early! I told you not to go out, you still want to go out. Look, you're snubbing your guests. The woman's voice of complaint came.
Hearing this familiar voice, Xue Qingyi woke up, only to hear another male voice resignedly, "Old woman, it's my fault, it's all my fault." Next time I listen to you, I'll listen to you. ”
"Why don't you go to the kitchen to chop some firewood, I'm afraid that you haven't eaten so early!" Xue Qingyi smiled softly, Sister-in-law Hu still likes to complain about Uncle Hu as before, and Uncle Hu is still so good-tempered.
"Two distinguished guests, I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time, right?" Sister-in-law Hu smiled heartily, "It's all to blame for this old man in our family, visiting friends, and as a result, drinking with friends poured down, if you want to eat something, I'll do it for you." ”
"The store doesn't have to be so polite, just give each of us a bowl of green vegetable noodle soup." Xue Qingyi then blushed again and said, "The two of you are not here, and I am really hungry, so I dug up two sweet potatoes in your land to taste." ”
Jian Qiubai listened to Xue Qing's words on the side, and was instantly stunned, this sister-in-law actually took advantage of him to sit quietly in the middle of the night and secretly ate sweet potatoes alone in this garden. He now feels that his previous understanding of this sister-in-law is too limited, and a noble girl will actually steal sweet potatoes? Who will believe it? It's such an interesting thing to be angry, she doesn't call him, she doesn't know that it's better to be happy alone than to be happy. Jian Qiubai looked at Xue Qingyi sadly, but Xue Qingyi was stared at by him inexplicably.
"Little lady doesn't have to be so polite, we have a lot of sweet potatoes here, if you want to eat them, you can dig a few more, and bring a few more when you go back, it's not that Sister-in-law Hu is boasting, my sweet potatoes here are sweet, don't say a hundred miles in a radius, even thousands of miles don't have such a good sweet potato in our family." Sister-in-law Hu's face was faintly proud.
The seeds of this sweet potato were still given by her benefactor ---- Miss Xue of the Dingguo Mansion, and the two of them went out with all the dishes that day, wanting to go to a store and do a small business, but they were unexpectedly stolen by thieves to take all their belongings, if it were not for Miss Xue's help, where would there be today's situation. Speaking of Miss Xue, she is really a noble girl from a family with first-class character and knowledge. But she doesn't seem to be here in a long time.
"Then thank you Sister-in-law Hu." Xue Qingyi's words interrupted Sister-in-law Hu's thoughts. Sister-in-law Hu saw that this little lady looked natural and behaved generously, and she was not as arrogant as those noble girls in the city, so she couldn't help but feel good. "Then you wait, the noodles will be fine right away." As he spoke, he opened the front door and shouted to the kitchen next to him, "Old man, has the firewood been chopped?" ”
"Okay, that's it, don't rush." After Hu Bo finished speaking, he continued to chop wood, and secretly complained, this old woman knew to urge me.
"When the firewood is chopped, pick a few more greens and wash them, and I'll come over right away."
"Okay, old woman, don't be verbose, let's pack your bags and come over quickly. also said that the noble man has been waiting for a long time, you look at your action, ......" After a while, Sister-in-law Hu hurriedly walked out of the door with a cloth towel around her waist, and shouted at the kitchen, "Okay, old man, complain about me, your skin is itchy, I put on your skin carefully." He looked at Xue Qing and Jian Qiubai again, and said with a smile, "Let the two distinguished guests laugh, my old man and I are used to laughing." ‘
Xue Qingyi and Jian Qiubai smiled at each other, this kind of true love in the plain is the most enviable.
