Chapter 109: Old Things and Old People

"If you are afraid of rain and sunshine, you don't know how to worry, go to graze spring cattle with spring grass......"

The spring boat in Xize, it is like pushing away a roll of faint color with the wave little by little, even if he is afraid that Grandpa will suffer from the cold, Man Yun, who is sitting on the boat, only peeks at the window by the small window and peeks at the window scene, still can't help but be full of joy, eyebrows and smiles.

Don't know how to worry? If this granddaughter, who has been a headache since she was a child, is really unworried, the old man said that he was lucky to go to the temple to burn incense and make a vow. Zhou Xian stared at Man Yun's little face for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Sister Yun, you should know the origin of the young man of the Xiao family, right?" ”

Man Yun, who was defeated by Zhou Xian's question, turned around, sat upright, and nodded imperceptibly.

Zhou Xian squinted and leaned on the soft pillow, as if talking to himself, and continued: "If you talk about your family background, he is naturally not bad. But his father Xiao Rui has a reputation for lust and notoriety since he was a teenager, when he met his future wife Xu at the spring banquet in the palace, he was shocked, regardless of the forced employment of the Xu family, if it were not for Xiaozong and Xiao Hou to round the field for him afterwards, the Xu family would have invited himself to become a monk. But just like that, only a year after the Xu family entered the door, Xiao Rui regained his old ways, and carried many women to the mansion one after another, which provoked the emperor and queen to be angry. ”

Zhou Manyun listened, sneered, pursed his lips before he said softly: "Grandpa thinks that Xiao Hong and his people will definitely be like a father in the future?" ”。 Such an old thing, in her previous life, was probably a relationship for His Holiness, and she hadn't heard of it, but now it sounds very fresh and funny.

As far as this matter is concerned, she wants to give Grandpa a high hat of the Master of Prophecy. Xiao Rui, who likes beautiful women, has a harem that gathers three thousand beauties in the general meeting, and Xiao Hong's momentum of collecting beauties after the initial decision of the Jing Dynasty is also particularly strong. Especially when he is nearly thirty years old and has no children, his father and brother are even more changeable. Every day, I find a woman to send her into the house.

Looking at Man Yun's seemingly disapproving expression, Zhou Xian sighed lightly. He glanced at Xu Ne, who was sitting next to him and listened, and said again: "Even if you don't talk about this, the old man feels that his wanton killing people in Huocheng is too ruthless. ”

"Moreover, according to the pulse I checked when I saw Xiao Hong before, he should be a premature baby who was born with a secret medicine. Although he has been recuperated with rare drugs since he was a child, and he has practiced health kung fu well, if he blindly plays ruthless and brave, his body will still lose at all. Xu Ne continued Zhou Xian's words. Added his opinion.

"Will it be in trouble with the heirs in the future?" , Man Yun closed the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice. Xiao Hong, she thinks she doesn't care. It's just that in her previous life, she gave birth to a child so hard but only let him survive in the world for less than a day, and now as long as she thinks about it, she still can't avoid her hatred.

Hearing Xu Ne's answer and Man Yun's rhetorical question, Zhou Xian couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at Xu Ne, the fear hidden in his eyes became more obvious.

Xu Ne hesitated slightly, but still said honestly: "The kidney essence is fine. It is still possible to marry a wife and have children when you are young. It's just that he has a hidden disease in the Taiyin and Lung Meridians of his hands, and if he neglects to regulate and recuperate, he will probably have to be confused. ”

"That's it...... It's pretty good, too! Man Yun lowered his head and lightly concealed the sorrow that welled up in his heart. Whispered. According to this statement, that is to say, after the death of her and her child in her previous life, Xiao Hong, who started the game, estimated that she would not live for a few years. She followed him for eight years. clearly knows that he has not paid attention to the hidden diseases of the body at all, and he is particularly good at avoiding medical treatment.

"Pretty good, too?". Xu Ne's brows were twisted together. Zhou Manyun's response was obviously unexpected.

"Or what?" , Zhou Manyun raised his head as he responded. It's been replaced with a bright face. The black-dotted eyes turned to Grandpa and Master's faces, and immediately snorted dissatisfiedly, and pouted angrily: "The surname Xiao is only a passerby, what does his idle business have to do with me?" You're tired of talking about it! ”

Before the two elders who had been trained came back to their senses, Man Yun, who was standing in the middle of the cabin, stomped his feet and rushed out of the cabin with the momentum of the shouting just now.

After a while, Man Yun's giggling could be faintly heard on the deck outside the cabin, and occasionally Xu Yu let out a few angry shouts.

"Could it be that the old man is dazzled?" , Zhou Xian stroked his white beard hesitantly, and his wrinkled face was a little more dazed.

The elderly get very little sleep, and often wake up before dawn, let alone on the go. Zhou Xian felt that although he was old and dizzy, he dared to confirm who the pair of children who had been talking to the river bank in Huiluan Bay were before. Don't mention that man, he has bothered to raise Man Yun for so many years, and he thinks about it every day, why do you need to look closely, you can recognize your granddaughter with a silhouette.

"Father, maybe Yun'er and he just met and chatted by chance, nothing else. Man Yun has a steady and honest temperament, and he is still young. Xu Ne blew a bowl of tea, brought it to Zhou Xian's side, and persuaded in a low voice.

Zhou Xian took Xu Ne's hand and took a sip of tea. After stabilizing his mind, he waved his hand and said, "Min Xing, maybe the old man is thinking too much...... It's just that such a well-behaved and clever little girl would never grow up, how nice it would be......"

The old man sighed with emotion, and after a long while, he closed his eyes under Xu Ne's generous words and persuasion, and leaned on the pillow to reveal a half-asleep appearance.

Xu Ne smiled lightly and was about to get up and go outside, but at this moment, Zhou Xian suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. The old man's physical strength gradually weakened, but this time he grasped it accurately. Xu Ne couldn't help but be shocked.

There was silence in the cabin, and only Zhou Xian was heard asking in a dumb voice that was deliberately suppressed, "Minxing, can you be sure that Xiao Hong was born by the secret medicine?" ”

"It won't be bad, it should have been brought down at about seven months. I don't know why the Xiao family is so risky. Xu Ne lowered his head and answered seriously and clearly in Zhou Xian's ear. The thin old hand resting on his sleeve suddenly let go, showing his despair.

"Man Yun should stay away from him, the farther away the better......", a barely audible sound, hummed at the tip of Zhou Xian's nose, and the old man lying on his back seemed to be whispering in a dream.

If Man Yun really became Xiao Hong a passerby, there would be no need to ask his father about some things. Knowing that Zhou Xian's question was due to Xiao Hong's physical reasons, there might be other concerns, but Xu Ne still didn't hear it, so he just lowered his head and carefully helped Zhou Xian cover it with a thin quilt.

The passenger boat rowed through the other half of the river, squeezed into a narrow waterway, and went down with the current, and the two brothers and sisters sitting next to each other kept bickering, and they were happy and very pleasant.

When it was nearly dusk, the passenger ship was steadily anchored at Yangjingdu, which belonged to Jixi County, Xinzhou, and was the destination where Zhou Xian wanted to take everyone.

Fengjingdu is still some distance from the county seat, Xu Yu looked at the sun, a trace of chagrin climbed up his cheeks, and muttered: "It's a little late to enter the city, whether you can find a better inn depends on luck." ”

"We're not going into town!" , Zhou Xian stood firm on Man Yun's shoulder, looked around, raised his crutches and pointed to a small mountain bag on the side of Yang Jingdu, and said loudly: "Let's go there!" ”

However, the hill is dozens of meters high and is facing the waterfront, and a few pieces of cyan courtyard walls are revealed under the shade of green trees, and the eaves behind the wall are flying, and a sharp spire can be faintly seen.

"Kozenji!" , Xu Ne's voice was cold in the wind. Although it was his first time in Jixi, he had checked the literature about this place before traveling, trying to understand in advance what the place where the man had been hiding for decades was like. And when Huo Cheng heard Zhou Xian say that his old friend was the compiler of "Nanzhao Yiwen Record", his indignation inevitably surged into his heart at this time.

"Yes, Kozenji!" , Zhou Xian sighed, took Man Yun's hand, and walked step by step towards the temple on the mountain. Man Yun felt that his grandfather was holding his hand very hard, with an anxiety and uneasiness that could not be concealed.

"I'll help Grandpa!" , Zhou Xian's elbow was firmly held by Xu Ne, who rushed forward.

Man Yun looked sideways at the faint smile lines on Grandpa's face, nodded obediently, and stepped aside.

"The man is a monk?" , Xu Ne asked in a soft voice as much as possible.

"yes, it must have been thirty years, right?" , Zhou Xian squinted his eyes and replied softly, as if he was explaining to Xu Ne and rearranging his memory.

"If it is counted from the year he pretended to be dead and mourned, it should be twenty-seven years."

"Minxing!" , Zhou Xian held Xu Ne's hand tightly, stopped his steps, and said sternly word by word: "Man is going to die!" If you have a grudge in your heart, the old man will take you back! Back then, it wasn't his own effort, and the old man was also involved......"

"Different ......", after Xu Ne squeezed out a sound from between his teeth, he stopped talking, and only helped Zhou Xian to walk on the steps, with heavy steps.

What is the so-called visiting friend? The stunned Man Yun looked at the senior brother who was walking on the side, but Xu Yu's young face was even more confused than her.

In front of the mountain gate of Guangshan Temple, Xu Ne took out the letter received by Zhou Xian and handed it to the monk who knew the guest. After a while, a young novice who was no more than eight or nine years old heard the summons and ran over, leading a few people to the back of the temple with a lantern.

Xu Yute stayed in Zuihou, gave the monk a piece of sesame oil money, and arranged a few rooms in the temple. When the originally sour monk showed a smile on his face, Xu Yucai and his brothers patted his fat shoulders as if they were chasing in the direction of the point.

The seemingly long-untended absurd path is getting more and more deviant, and the corners of Xu Ne's mouth can't help but bring a trace of disdainful ridicule. The deceased hid in the Buddha land, unable to read the true meaning of the scriptures, so he could only hide like a mouse.

Such a master is even more terrifying than the gloomy middle-aged man he had seen in his previous life. Zhou Manyun sighed lightly and stopped his gaze on the little monk who led the way.

Although the little monk who led the way was young, he closed his lips tightly, lifted his steps lightly, and his delicate and lovely eyebrows and eyes also showed a bit of Buddha solemnity under the reflection of the lantern.

"Little Master, there are some kindnesses!" , Zhou Manyun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled. It's just that as soon as these polite words came out, she suddenly felt that the appearance of the little monk was really a little familiar. (To be continued......)
