The thousand-layer staircase leading to Puji Temple is also made of red granite stone unique to the Eight Mountains. Brushed by the rain through the night, the dark red pockmarks brought a layer of oily color, and passed forward step after step in the distance, like a haode red velvet carpet, adding a bit of treasure and solemnity to the temple gate in the distance out of thin air.

It has not rained in two months, and it has rained. Although it starts on the evening of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the evening rain stops, but the clouds piled up like cotton wool on the horizon are beckoning, and the next rain is not far away.

After the calamity is not a single line, is it a double arrival of blessing and rain?

Zhou Manyun stopped on the stone steps, looked back at Fengjin County, which was impossible to see at all, and sighed lightly.

Thinking that the people in Fengjin City who sent the Zhou family away like sending the plague god away that day can also have more evidence out of thin air to prove how the decline of the Zhou family has harmed Fengjin County.

Fortunately, the bad luck of the Zhou family should also come to an end.

Just last night, the third uncle from Huocheng, Jiangnan, arrived in Fengjin with the night rain.

Zhou Manyun, who was hiding in Baoshu Village, received a letter from the temple, and it was reasonable to go to see the elders, not to mention that the third uncle was carrying the news of the funeral of his great-grandmother Meng.

Zhou Manyun waved his hand and stopped Bai Lu, who said that he wanted to carry her up the mountain.

She had to walk step by step, and then sort out the complicated thoughts in her heart.

Thousands of miles away, the great-grandmother in Huocheng still went on time, which also strangled the slightest bit of luck left in her heart without a trace, and Luo Jing's father should still repeat the trajectory of the previous life.

Zhou Manyun was also a little glad that he should have ordered his mother to use the golden crow at that time. Doo's lack of freedom of movement also reduces the risk of self-harm when she is hit by bad news.

When people want to die, they also pay attention to one blow. Decline again, three and exhaustion. Just like Zhou Manyun in his previous life, he had the idea of committing suicide twice. Xiakou Xiling Mountain once, Shuangqiao Town again. If you don't die, you don't have the strength to die, until you want to exchange your own death for a child's life......

In the small courtyard where the Zhou family temporarily lived in Puji Temple, Zhou Manyun met the long-lost third uncle Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang is slightly fat, with a white face and a short beard, and he is obviously very kind, but he can't hide the polite alienation from everyone between his words. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, for most of the people in the Zhou family. The three rooms are like passers-by who disappear from memory with just a glimpse.

After Zhou Yang recounted his return trip to Manyun to Manyun, Zhou Manyun's small hand gently pulled down Du Xuanshuang's sleeve.

"Lord Wednesday! On the return trip from Yunzhou to Huocheng, it will take at least five days for the boat to go smoothly. And now from Fengjin to Yunzhou's Zhoujia berth, it will take three or five days to walk, and seeing that it will rain continuously in the near future, the road is in a bad condition, and my young lady is seriously injured and inconvenient to move, so I still don't follow the road. ”

Zhou Yang ignored it and smiled kindly at Man Yun. Said: "Sister Yun! The third uncle will arrange it properly on the way, not to mention that the grandmother and brothers and sisters are going back, and it is not good to leave you here alone......"

"Third uncle, I only listen to Uncle Du." Zhou Manyun closed his mouth as soon as he whispered, and only looked down at his toes timidly.

Xiucai can't explain why he meets Bing! Zhou Yang, who had to deal with Du Xuanshuang, was angry for a while. The other party is just the grandmother brother of the fifth brother and sister, but Xiao Manyun's uncle arched Du Xuanshuang into the representative of Du's maiden family.

Du Xuanshuang, who seemed to be reasonable, only grabbed a little and emphasized it again and again. "Miss is injured, don't leave.". Listen to nothing at all.

Zhou Yang did not obey the orders of his great-grandmother Meng that day, and immediately set sail north after her death. Instead, after the size of Meng's Cuoling was done, he took the fleet and went up the river.

But I don't want to, the Zhou family who stayed in Fengjin encountered a bunch of disasters, after meeting Liu Gui who responded, he hurried to Fengjin, and originally thought that the mother-in-law who was difficult to persuade was eager to leave early, but the itinerary of a large family was stuck in the fifth room.

Seeing the people in the fifth room with a little arrogance hugging Sister Yun and going out to the upper room where Mrs. Zhou lived, Zhou Gu, the old servant of the Zhou family standing behind Zhou Yang, lowered his head and reminded, "Third master! The fifth master is the youngest son of the wife, whether to stay or not to wait for the fifth room, you still have to find the lady to make up your mind. ”

"Younger son, eldest grandson! I guess we've got a lot to do in Toyojin! Zhou Yang patted his stiff and aching thighs and frowned.

But the result of asking Mrs. Zhou was unexpected by Zhou Yang.

Mrs. Zhou only proposed that Du Xuanshuang take a few guards who were in the temple to return to their hometowns along the way. Du's injury, Manyun is filial, but he still stays in Fengjin first, and when Du's injury is healed, he will pick them up.

Such an arrangement was expected by Zhou Manyun, and when she heard it, she immediately knelt down to thank her grandmother for her kindness.

Thinking that it was Manyun's rare well-behaved that made Mrs. Zhou feel relieved, her back leaned against the autumn-colored pillow, and she began to chatter about the matters that Manyun wanted to remember, "Sister Yun, you and your mother stay in Baoshu Village, you must remember to guard the door and not go out without permission." Don't do things that insult the reputation of the family, don't make friends with foreign men, and those monks and Taoists must also guard against ......"

"Mother! I will also leave with Brother Shen and accompany my younger siblings and Man Yun! Gao's interjection and boldly made a request to Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou's half-closed eyes opened suddenly, staring at Gao.

Gao hesitated, but still repeated his request, "Mother! Brother Shen has also had some diarrhea these days, and I am afraid that he will be uneasy on the road, so why don't I delay it for a few days and stay at home with my five brothers and sisters to pick it up. ”

Half of Mrs. Zhou's cheeks twitched, one hand covered her forehead, calling for pain, and there was chaos in the upper room for a while.

"Xiexie you!" , Man Yunli thanked Gao softly, she understood that the second aunt temporarily decided to stay not for Brother Shen'er, but to sniff out embarrassing accusations in Mrs. Zhou's series of "no" confessions.

In the Chen Dynasty, young women who did not live alone with their fathers, husbands, and other adult men had to bear the risk of fame.

Du Shi was recuperating from his injuries, and in the small courtyard of Baoshu Village, Xing Laosi, who was left to do miscellaneous guards, still kept the virtual Taoist priest who Mrs. Zhou had always looked down on.

What if we knew that we had twenty big men hiding in the neighborhood? Zhou Manyun smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand towards the suddenly densely woven rain net, his fingertips were cold.

"Actually. Your aunt has been sick all the time, or I'll talk to her. If she's willing. Everyone can stay and wait for your mother's injury to heal. Gao's took back Man Yun's hand. Gentle in words.

Du Shi used the matter of Jin Crow Nuan, Man Yun hid it from the Zhou family, and the unaware Gao family only waited for Du Shi for a dozen or twenty days at most. She had survived the hardships in Fengjin before, and she felt that she could accept it if she stayed for a while.

Zhou Manyun shook his head gently, "Second uncle! No more! It's true! She really wanted to go separately from Mrs. Zhou and the others, but it was difficult to explain the inside story to the Gao family.

Gao was still determined to try his idea. After instructing Bai Lu, he took Man Yun to eat in the temple, and hurried to find Xie by himself.

But when he arrived at the door of Xie's room, Gao was stopped by Caixia, "Second grandma! Grandma is reciting scriptures in front of the Buddha, this is ...... This is the first period of the big girl. ”

At night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there were a few lightning flashes in the sky from time to time, which made people palpitate and tremble......

With a thunderclap, the white candle in front of the indigo tablet on the offering table flickered. Xie Shi, who was sitting on the futon and reciting scriptures, threw himself on the table, and instantly wept bitterly and burst into tears.

"My son! My hard-working daughter, why don't you come to see me as a mother...... You ruthless. Why are you willing to conceive and give birth to your own mother in October......"

Xie's cry, closed to the light outside the pane, was even more hoarse.

Caixia and the other maids who served in Xie's room endured their fright. Persuading Xie to take care, several hands cooperated together before dragging Xie back to her bedroom.

Caixia, who is in charge of the night, checks the candle flame of the portal. Xie Shi, who was restless in his sleep, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and poured himself a cup of cold tea from the table and drank it. He wrapped himself in a blanket and put his feet on the makeshift floor and fell asleep.

After the third watch, the sound of rain gradually faded......

Xie slowly opened his eyes in a vague scent of sandalwood.

"Caixia!", she stood up on her elbows and called hoarsely through the light moonlit gauze, "Pour me a cup of tea." ”。 I think she cried a lot during the day, and her throat was burning and aching.

"Haode, mother!" , A well-behaved answer sounded outside the curtain, and the slender figure sitting at the table stood up with a little excitement.

Xie Shi, who had not yet come to his senses, lowered his head and reached out to pinch his forehead, Caixia's response made her feel strange.

"Mother!" , another call, made Xie Shi suddenly creepy and his eyes widened.

Through the gauze tent, Xie saw a familiar figure walking towards her with a tea cup, and he was already half-leaning over, wanting to lift the curtain.

The first seven resurrection nights! Xie wanted to scream in fright, but he only felt that his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Mother! It's me, it's me who's back. Zhou Manhua's voice was getting closer and closer.

"Don't come here!" , A jade pillow for sure was thrown out of the bed, and Xie Shi, whose hands and feet were trembling, looked at the figure floating in front of him and stopped moving, and increased his courage out of thin air.

"Yes! I am your biological mother, and even if you return from the Netherworld, you will have to listen to me! Xie turned his face sideways, looked at the corner of the white dress, and smiled crookedly.

"Mother!" , and with another call, the ghost voice of the soul brought a trace of fear.

"Zhou Manhua, you're dead, go back!" Xie Shi lifted the quilt, stood barefoot on the floor, and pointed to the door, "You go!" Niangzi will ask the monks to be more virtuous for you and ask for a good future life for you! There you go! Let's go! Otherwise, if you stop under the corpse of Baiyun'an and press the spell, I will let the master burn it, and you will be trapped in hell forever without liberation. ”

"Mother! It turned out that it really wasn't you...... You really don't want me back, do you really want me dead? The white-clothed female ghost standing in the darkness seemed to have lost all her strength and sat on the floor decadently.

"You have to die, you have to die!" , Xie Shi's neck was stalked with green tendons and roared loudly, his face hideous.

"Weishenme I'm going to die?" , The more tender question floated down from the roof beam lightly and clearly, up and down, with the painful crying sound of the female ghost on the ground filling the room, it was even more weird. (To be continued......)
