Chapter Ninety-Three: The Old Temple
Xu Qinglong thought for a while, "What is bullying?" Like Xue Tao and Xue Nan? Xu Shantong nodded, it was almost like this, but in her memory, the strictest bullying was that no one in the class would talk to her. This should be called cold violence, right? It's not children who make fun of this bullying
"It's not much, the classmates get along very well." However, "they said bad things about our family, thinking I couldn't hear them, but I heard them all and said them quietly."
Xu Shantong nodded, "That's right, it's not right to say bad things about others and say them so loudly." You know how to be sneaky when you do bad things, and you have to be sneaky when you say bad things" In a certain way, this mother and daughter are at the same level.
Xu Qinglong whispered to his mother, "Big brother said, if I hear some classmates say bad things about our family in the future, I will keep staring at them and look into their bones."
Xu Shantong didn't understand, "Look into the bones?" Equipped with clairvoyant eyes? After speaking, he reacted, it shouldn't be what he meant, and then he thought about it again and explained to his daughter, "This is what your eldest brother said, it should be for you not to be afraid of those who say bad things, and to look like a sword!" ”
Like a sword, Xu Qinglong nodded, and as soon as her mother explained it like this, she knew how to mark people. Then she said something that she had been holding in her heart for several days, "Mom, let's go to the old temple tomorrow to have a look~~~" Xu Shantong didn't know what the old temple was, nor where it was, let alone the origin of the old temple and her family, but she still nodded unconditionally.
Liu Wenchang's matter, Grandpa Xu just took it as a very small matter and told Xu Shantong. Xu Shantong didn't understand the first, and the second was because this matter was really not a big deal for the Xu family, it was too ordinary. I don't have the qualifications to say anything. Xu Shantong has all her thoughts on her daughter. I didn't have to think about it. Only when Xu Qinglong was wronged at school later, Xu Shantong was clear.
The next day, it was already the end of November, and the northwest wind had turned from a small slap into a small pair of scissors, blowing on the body and chilling the heart. The heating of Xu's house has already been burned, and air conditioning has been installed. Uncle Wei found someone, Master Wang, who was in charge of burning the boiler, this person had bad legs and feet, he was sent by Xu Weitong, he was upright, and he was already a soldier at first glance. lived in the front seat, but the Xu family hadn't seen him since they saw him on the first day.
Xu Mengtong felt that this person was probably very withdrawn. Or it is inferiority. Because he not only has bad legs and feet, but also has no eyes, Xu Qinglong and Song Wenrang secretly watched him, and indeed found that Master Wang was hiding from the two of them with his head down, and after Xu Zi promised to know, he would not let them watch him anymore.
"Renjie doesn't want you to see it, you have to see it, it's rude, you know?" Xu Qinglong has always had a very good attitude of admitting mistakes, and the speed of admitting mistakes with Song Wen is also much faster. With his innocent rabbit look, how sincere he looks. Compare Xu Qinglong to the bottom. Xu Zinuo was happy, but he was still a little worried.
As a result, when Xu Shantong and Xu Qinglong went out in warm clothes today, they saw Master Wang. Master Wang was holding a child who couldn't see clearly, and he was limping and sweating profusely to the door. Uncle Wei saw it at this time and greeted him. Xu Qinglong pulled Xu Shantong and ran over, and after seeing the child's appearance clearly, he sighed. "Mom, this is Liu Xiaoyue" On such a cold day, why did she freeze so badly in a single dress?
Uncle Wei had already taken the child, carried him into his room, covered the child with a quilt, and made a hot water bottle and put it in. Xu Shantong knew who Liu Xiaoyue was. But why did this kid get here?
Master Wang lowered his head deeply, and said nervously, "I, I found it in the boiler room" should have gone to warm up.
Xu Qinglong leaned over and looked at Liu Xiaoyue, her face was pale from the cold, her lips were very bloody, her eyes were closed tightly, and she was close to falling into a coma. Reaching out and touching her forehead, "Mom, Grandpa Wei, she's having a fever" Huahua jumped up and slapped Xu Qinglong's paw to prevent her from touching Liu Xiaoyue. Uncle Wei also reacted, the little lady was not in good health, but don't be infected, so he asked Xu Shantong to take Xu Qinglong back first, and he found someone to send the child to the hospital, and then notify her relatives.
The whole family soon found out about it. There are sighs, and they really said it, the child's mother ran away, and the child is now in the hands of the enemy, even if the enemy is really generous, she will be very uncomfortable, where will she be comfortable with her own home? After all, it's under the fence. Besides, Liu Wengui didn't say it first, his daughter-in-law was not a tolerant person at first glance, and she might not be able to do such a thing as angering her children
However, this still has nothing to do with their family, why did this kid come to their house? Looking for help? I don't know if this child is stupid or smart, the Xu family shouldn't be a good place for her, so think about it, she is smart?
Grandpa Xu called Uncle Wei and asked him to follow and take a look, especially the attitude of Liu Wengui's family, if it was really bad, the Xu family would not mind interfering. This is also a kind of cause and effect. It's always better to be able to pull a child than to watch her get rubbed. Even if this kid is smart and a poisonous snake, maybe he wants to bite the Xu family at this time
When Uncle Wei went out, Xu Qinglong spoke, "Is her mother gone?" ”
Grandpa Xu hummed, "Let's go." She is now like this, she is a de facto orphan, although her parents are alive, but no one can raise her, and she cannot be adopted, which is more restricted than ordinary orphans. Xu Qinglong blinked, "Then will she be sold?" ”
"What are these words? After Grandpa Xu was shocked, he shook his head firmly, "Of course not!" Taking a breath, "She's going to be well taken care of, Sugar Candy, why do you think she's going to be sold?" ”
Xu Qinglong noticed Grandpa Xu's nervousness, hesitated, and answered truthfully, "The child who was discarded will be sold, and he will also be adopted" She was left behind, and after being picked up, she was sold as a commodity, and in the end, His Royal Highness bought her, but. Does that count as adoption?
Grandpa Xu thought that it was probably the place where the child used to stay, and the law was not sound or there were particularly dark customs, so while breathing a sigh of relief, he still gave Xu Qinglong a science popularization of the two positive knowledge that human trafficking is wrong and that orphans will be well taken care of. Xu Qinglong listened obediently and said that he knew. Then she was taken out of the door by Xu Mengtong - her mother was left behind by her grandfather
"Tangtang, don't you want to bring your classmates home to raise them? Didn't you just want to raise a mountain spirit? "Xu Mengtong also knows about the mountain spirit, and he is so liked by Tangtang that he wants to take it home and raise it. This Liu Xiaoyue, Tangtang seems to like her a lot, but why didn't she mention that she wanted to take it home and raise it?
Xu Qinglong tilted his head, "The mountain spirit has a father and a mother and brother, I can't raise him, Liu Xiaoyue also has a father and mother, and I can't raise him either."
Xu Mengtong pondered. Does this mean that they cannot be separated from their mothers and sons? However, "Liu Xiaoyue's mother left her and ran away, her father is in prison, at least forty years, your grandfather just said, she is not an orphan or an orphan Besides, the family she lives in now is the family that her father has killed." If you think about it, the family will probably treat her as Cinderella," Xu Mengtong knew that he had said too much. But in order to find out the child's attitude towards Liu Xiaoyue, she would rather go home and be blamed by the old man, and she also wanted to ask at this time.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoyue is like this, and the Xu family has to pay part of the responsibility. Xu Mengtong will not shirk responsibility, but in the end. Or is her own life bad. A father with a bad life and a mother who is not a thing are all put together, and they have become a burden on the Xu family. So Xu Mengtong has never taken the initiative to stir up trouble, just because she doesn't want to cause a mess. Villains don't have any bottom line. You can't be dragged into their world by villains just because you are relieved for a while.
If Liu Xiaoyue hadn't made Liu Wenchang notice the Xu family because of stealing the bracelet, if Liu Wenchang hadn't wanted to take advantage of the Xu family, if Liu Wenchang hadn't wanted to deal with his own brother, if Liu Wenchang's wife was a qualified wife and mother, and if Liu Wengui was really a righteous and kind person, Liu Xiaoyue's child would not have the virtue of being frozen unconscious now. Speaking of this now, it seems that none of them are good people, but no one is a wicked person, so it should be like this
However, Xue Zimei, who was frightened into a high fever because of the collapse of Liu Wenchang's family, would not think so, fate, it can be changed. A small difference is that there are two very different lives
What Xu Mengtong cares about now is that Liu Xiaoyue has become like this, what will Xu Qinglong think. It's a pity that this question can not be mentioned, but now that they are really saying it, Liu Xiaoyue has become a virtue without a father and a mother, what will Tangtang, who is innocent and kind but has strange thinking, think? Save people to help her? Nothing to do with her? How it should be? Xu Mengtong really couldn't guess.
In fact, it has been said many times that Xu Qinglong has never cared about Liu Wenchang's family affairs at all. Yesterday, he was caught by Grandpa Xu and talked for a long time, that is, Xu Qinglong no longer wronged those bad words. Now Xu Mengtong asked her if she would raise Liu Xiaoyue, Xu Qinglong also felt inexplicable, why did she raise it?
Xu Mengtong said that Liu Xiaoyue was so pitiful, Xu Qinglong didn't feel it. Isn't it possible to live without your parents by your side? Now there are still people who are willing to raise Liu Xiaoyue, even if it is an enemy, it is just for her to do Cinderella's business, and she was not killed by the enemy, which is very good. Moreover, Cinderella's words, will Liu Xiaoyue meet the prince in the future? It's the same as when she met His Highness, it's good
To sum it up like this, it's basically a good thing, the only thing that makes Xu Qinglong feel not very good is that he is alive. She herself had never been alive by herself. So thinking about it, it should be difficult for Liu Xiaoyue to live by herself, in this case, it is quite pitiful
Xu Qinglong's children's weird thinking was inexplicably on the right track after turning in a circle. The root of Liu Xiaoyue's pity is that she wants to live alone.
"It's quite pitiful to live alone" Xu Qinglong finished pulling Xu Mengtong's hand, "Get her mother back, she won't be alone"
"Okay, Xu Mengtong held her forehead, she didn't think about it at all. Because the mother who left the child behind, if she finds it, it will be terrible, right? Besides, the child may not know what she thinks of her mother in her heart now, and then the mother and daughter will not be able to do it, but will become enemies. It's better to just separate like that
Sure enough, it is still the kindest child in his own family, Xu Mengtong took Xu Qinglong to the vicinity of the middle school, and the old temple is here.
The high ridge cornice, although it is only one floor, is extraordinarily tall, protruding from the fence far away, and you can see the magpies jumping around on the ridge at a glance. When I walked in, I found that this wall was built later. There are also mottled red slogans on it, which were probably demolished later, and now they are high and low, and there are several gaps.
Xu Mengtong didn't want to go in, but Xu Qinglong thought, there was no way. She followed the broken bricks and walked in. An old locust tree in front of the temple hugged by three people, the bare branches made the tree look majestic and mysterious, and the twisted trunk looked a little more terrifying. There are two nests in the tree, presumably magpie's. Xu Qinglong wanted to climb, but was stopped by Xu Mengtong and said that he wouldn't let her go up. Then divert her attention and lead her forward.
The old temple is really old. The door is gone, and there are no windows on either side. There are only two small round windows, but now they are also hollow, two black holes, and the window edges are long gone. Standing outside, you can faintly see the statue of the god sitting on the high side inside, and there is a stone platform in front of the statue. I can't see it clearly from the left and right, it's swarthy. Xu Mengtong didn't let go and didn't let Xu Qinglong enter. In this kind of place, no one comes, and it is necessary to have a heavy yin qi. It's not good for the child to go.
"Our family has already donated money to repair here, let's go in and see when the repair is finished, okay?" Xu Mengtong persuaded her bitterly. But Xu Qinglong pointed to the temple, "Auntie, there are paintings and murals in it, let's go and see them" Xu Mengtong was speechless, "There are murals and I can't see clearly, this temple has been around for hundreds of years, and I can't see it clearly, and besides, it's painted at most, it's not good-looking, don't look at it, okay?" After a while, let's go to see the real murals and go to Dunhuang, okay? ”
Although it is not bad to go to Dunhuang, but the murals in front of him can't be seen, Xu Qinglong is still unwilling, and just about to continue grinding, he was drunk.
"What are you guys doing!! Who are you!! No outsiders are allowed to come in here, you don't know!! "It was an elderly man who came in. With a shabby felt hat, probably with bad eyes, he came in angrily, squinting his eyes and trying to see clearly, his steps were very hurried, a little unsteady, and a yellow dog behind him, surrounded him left and right, calling at Xu Qinglong's aunt and nephew.
was suddenly scolded, Xu Mengtong is not good-tempered, but she will not scold back. Nonsense, isn't this answer a clear scolding? So he just looked at the old man with a smile. Xu Qinglong didn't have such complicated thoughts, here she and her aunt, the old man must be talking about them.
Xu Qinglong waited for the old man to approach before he said, "Hello, old man, do you live here?" "Because the old man was obviously unpleasant that they had broken into his house. Xu Mengtong laughed, how could it be, who lives in this broken temple!
Who knows, the old man said loudly, "Of course I live here!!" This is my home!! Who are you? Whose girl is it? Walking in, the old man saw a lot more clearly, looked at Xu Mengtong first, and then turned to Xu Qinglong, his already hunched waist bent a little more, the anger on his face subsided, and his tone was a lot warmer. But probably because he has always spoken harshly, this will be considered mild, and it will sound like a discipline.
That is, a child like Xu Qinglong who can perceive the good and bad of people's hearts, so he will not feel scolded. "I'm Xu Qinglong, I'm a girl from the Xu family~~~~" Hehe, I like to say that~~~~
The old man sighed, as if he was reminiscing, and after a while, he spoke, "It turned out to be the Xu family, you came just in time, I was about to go to your house" The old man straightened his back slightly, pointed to the old temple in front of him and said, "This temple, who built it in the first place, I don't know." But I know that this temple was later passed into the hands of my ancestors, my ancestors were from a wealthy family, accumulating good fortune, and the Taishang Laojun in this temple was made by my ancestors more than a hundred years ago."
The old man suddenly began to talk about the ancients. Xu Mengtong is impatient, but Xu Qinglong loves to listen to them, she loves to listen to stories, especially fairies and monsters.
"It is said that the ancestor of the Taoist is enshrined, this should not be a temple, but this temple was originally called Xingyang Temple, and the name of the donated sesame oil money is engraved on the back of the plaque, and my ancestors have not removed the plaque and have not changed their name, who thinks, this plaque has not been kept now, the world has changed, everything is public, everything is the people, this temple to my father's generation, it was not kept, to my hands, it was almost burned by someone."
The old man's eyes narrowed again, "My wife hanged herself in this temple, and my son was also trampled to death, I originally thought that I was also the life of a trouser belt, who knows, my ancestors have appeared, and a big snake appeared in the temple, so that those bastards who forgot their ancestors ruined this place, I couldn't keep this temple before, and I was saved by the temple fairy, and now I am going to die here." I'm going to keep it, your house, if you have money, you can build a temple with a lot of money" (to be continued......)
