Chapter 54: Lies

After teaching the big apprentice who didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, he left the oblivion on the ground and walked towards the residence alone.

As a result, before he entered the courtyard gate, he heard the chatter of the newly recruited little disciples in the courtyard, full of laughter.

Zhou Manyun was full of firewood, and was talking about last night's experience with Du and Gao's concubines.

"Last night, I borrowed the Zen monastery of Puji Temple with my master to burn the scriptures for my master, and then my master told me about the origin of my master and the truth that I should respect my master...... Master and Senior Brother are both from Southwest Juzhou...... Division? The master should be called the Medicine King Gate, right? …… The original patriarch was a famous doctor in the southwest, and even the nobles of Nanzhaoguo went to Juzhou to seek medical treatment......"

The little girl's childish and clear statement is more true than the few sentences that Zhi Yan has confessed dryly before.

The void standing outside the door smiled dumbly, "Medicine King Gate? This is obviously the name of the sect that Zhou Manyun himself has compiled now, and it sounds quite serious, but if the successive national teachers of the Holy Star Hall of Nanzhao Country heard that the descendants of the descendants actually changed them into unpopular Jianghu doctors, it is estimated that they will be so angry that they will come back to life and strangle him, who is not a long-sighted apprentice.

"The Taoist is back!" , the sharp-eyed Bai Lu reminded in time, and Zhou Manyun's mouth immediately closed honestly.

Zhou Manyun got up in a daze, called Master, but his eyes glanced straight behind him. The face of the false words was not good-looking, a little pale, and it was obviously extremely angry, which made her very worried about the little boy who brought her dried pear fruit.

"That kid is still outside, you go find him and come back!" , Hypocrisy looked at the next man. As soon as he gave an explanation, he raised his feet and walked to the house where he lived. Start with the descent of the mountain. He saw all the small actions made by Zhou Manyun. Since she was afraid of offending her senior brother. You might as well let yourself go and sell a favor in front of the kid who forgot to speak.

Zhou Manyun hurriedly responded, dragged Xiao Man's hand, and walked out of the courtyard.

The lie came back, and Gao, who had been basking in the sun in the courtyard with Du Shi, was a little restless, and his expression was slightly revealed, and he heard Du Shi instruct the people around him, saying that he was going back to the house to rest.

Because of the relationship between the golden crows, Du's hands and feet were weak, but he was quiet for a long time. The mind and five senses are much more delicate than before.

With the help of Bai Lu and Zhu's mother, Du Shi lay back on the bed, looked at Gao Shi who was about to talk and stopped talking, and asked softly: "Second sister-in-law, do you think I am too indulgent to Sister Yun?" ”

Gao twisted the handkerchief, sat in front of Du Shi diagonally, leaned down, and whispered: "Shanshan!" It is true that I am grateful for the life-saving grace of the Taoist Minister, but it is really inappropriate to let Sister Yun follow her to study medicine. Now she's young. When she is older, she doesn't sit at the same table at the age of seven, and then she stays alone with her foreign man like last night, and she will ruin ......"

Yesterday. If it weren't for Mother Zhu stopping on the side, the Gao family would have held Man Yun to death, and would not let her follow the Taoist priest alone. But it can't be. She could only come back in the end, and she strictly ordered Zhou Shen and Mingxia who were following her. Do not confide in half a word.

"I don't know. It's just a blessing and a curse, and I can't tell. Sister-in-law. Look at what I look like now. Du Shi looked up at the top of the bed and sighed softly: "I originally wanted to take Man Yun with me, but now I want her to take care of me." If one day I'm gone, who can take care of her? It's always more things to do, and more money to live......"

The deeper fear in his heart, Du Shi hidden, and did not dare to speak. Zhou Manhua's poisoning, until now, Gao did not know.

Mother-in-law Mrs. Zhou's medicine box contains secret medicine, and this is also one of the precious dowries of the noble daughter of the family. In the past, Du Shi had heard Zhou Zhe talk about it, and she had also seen another medicine that Zhou Zhe got from Mrs. Zhou, she originally thought that it was the limit, but this time Zhou Manhua's death made her experience the terrible ruthlessness.

What if one day the parents are powerless to support them, and Man Yun also encounters the danger of being involved in medicine. After thinking about it repeatedly, Du Shi agreed to accept the apprentice with false words. The origin of the lie has been explained, she knows better than Man Yun, and she is even thinking that Sister Yun is talking about the excuse that the lie told her.

"Sister-in-law! It's the same, just like when you asked me to ask Brother Xuanfeng to teach Shen'er some kung fu to strengthen his body. If you are a mother, don't you just point to your children and be safe. ”

"But Manyun is his daughter's family after all. Have you figured out how to explain to your fifth brother? Gao's solemn eyes softened, but the handkerchief in his hand was still clenched tightly.

"I think Gorou will be happy too, he loves Yun'er the most......", Du Shi smiled, as bright as a flower......

After a slight deviation from the village road and a short walk to the barren slope, Man Yun saw the forgotten words clinging to the soil, wearing a brown cloth coat and a posture of not moving, like a large gecko dried by the sun.

The little hand waved to stop Xiao Man, who was about to follow, and Zhou Manyun carried the corner of his robe alone and ran to the side of the forgotten words.

After watching quietly for a while, Man Yun asked, "Have you cried enough?" ”

"Hmm!" , The lying figure moved, craned its neck, and looked at Man Yun. At this moment, the eyes of the forgotten words were no longer the angry red of the morning, and only the sadness that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.

And envy. Zhou Manyun sighed, since she was reborn, she has become the object of envy of others again and again, which makes her feel a little emotional.

"Master is so kind to you!" , Zhou Manyun said, trying to make his voice appear cheerful, "As soon as you go back to the courtyard, let me call you back." He's just not going to coax you......"

"I want you to teach!" , Forgot to sit up, his hands hanging on his knees, and staring at the bull's eye, "I don't know who is good or bad to me." Do you want your little doll to teach me a lesson? ”

Get! Good intentions are not rewarded. Zhou Manyun snorted in his heart, smiled sweetly on his face, stretched out his little hand, and said, "Senior brother, then let's go back together!" ”

Forget hesitated, stretched out his hand, held it, and stood up.

Xiaoman followed from afar, as if the two children who had been completely wiped out, and he turned onto the village road with a word.

"Little Brother Xu, are you back?" The middle-aged farmer who was picking up firewood in the roadside cottage greeted Forget Yu warmly, grinning loudly, "When I went up and down the mountain just now, I told you that your father beat you twice." Throwing you on the hillside is also angry. Go back and admit your mistake to him. ”

He once watched from afar at the peasants who taught others with false words. When he passed down the mountain, he kindly persuaded him to forget his words, but he did not listen.

Zhou Manyun was a little stunned. Holding the hand that forgot to speak, he shook it, "Little Brother Xu?" ”

"Hmm!" , who had been forgetting to speak with a straight face, was amused, with a little smugness on his face, and said: "These uninformed natives in the village! I also heard Uncle Du call them the master and talk about the brother, so he became the master and called Xu Yandao. I also asked if I mistakenly thought I was the master's son, and I always thought that others were tender and gave birth to children early. ”

This is a half-truth. Since he lived in Baoshu Village, he has never dressed as a formal Taoist. The people in the village only guessed in front of Forget Yu whether he was a nephew who looked a little similar. It was a misleading nod that led the villagers to guess the relationship between the two.

"Xu Yu!" , Forget to think about it, and seriously lowered his head and explained to the little junior sister, "I told the children in the village that my name is Xu Yu, and they call the master Uncle Xu, but he hasn't reacted yet, and he responds indiscriminately every time." ”

"Don't tell him this! You have to guarantee it! ”。 Forget to squeeze Man Yun's little hand tightly and emphasize solemnly.

"I won't tell him! Brother Xu Yu! ”

Obviously, the name "Xu Yu" won the heart of the young man, and his mouth bloomed. One rushed to pick up the little Manyun, ran up quickly, and left Xiao Man, who was already behind. It's even more frustrating.

The wind passed by his ears, clinging to the boy's chest. I could feel his heart beating happily, with joy. Unobstructed.

If that's it, can you be happy? Man Yun lowered his head, looked at the top of his hair that was still carrying loess grass stalks, and pursed his lips and smiled. Perhaps, Xu Ne in his previous life was also like this, he was lied by a child and changed his surname.

The forgetfulness that untied the knot is very easy to get along with, and he still protects Man Yun as before.

Every day, Zhou Manyun's study schedule is full and simple and fulfilling. She now has two masters, Bai Lu still detains her in the morning and dusk to practice the art of soft brocade, and Xuyan began to teach her to memorize the soup medical songs and pharmacopoeia, learn poison and medicine first, stay away from Nanzhao, and get in touch with more different herbs, wanting her disciples to lay a solid foundation from scratch.

There is also a second uncle, who seems to have aroused the addiction of being a good teacher.

Zhou Manyun, who stayed in Gao's room and was at the table by the window, stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and sighed, and wrote a few more words on Zhou Shen opposite her, and finally the pen in his hand trembled, and there was a big ink spot on the plain paper.

Zhou Shen lowered his head and silently pulled aside the scrapped paper.

"Who made you write faster than me?" , Manyun Dale. She suddenly found that it was really interesting to bully children with a small shop. From forgetting to Zhou Shen, they love to put their brother's score, and she is just as they wish. Someone connived, she cherished it, and she enjoyed it luxury.

The door curtain slowly opened, and Gao slowly moved to sit beside Man Yun with a body of frost, and said sharply: "Zhou Shen! You go out first! ”

The troublemaking just now was heard by the Gao clan and arrested? Zhou Manyun restlessly leaned the pen back on the pen wash, and timidly raised his eyes to look at Gao.

Gao's eyes were red, tears were rolling in circles, and he was even more sad when he saw Man Yun's childish little face.

She took Man Yun in her arms, cried bitterly, and said, "Sister Yun! My poor Sister Yun, your father, your father is gone! ”

Daddy is gone? Zhou Manyun was in a trance, as if he was stepping on an illusory cloud. The life of the mountain dwelling was comfortable, but she really forgot that her father's death was coming.

Seeing that Manyun was stunned, Gao grabbed her in his arms in a panic and called softly, "Sister Yun!" Sister Yun'er ......"

"Daddy's gone!" , Zhou Manyun regained his voice and repeated the sentence flatly. She thought she should cry, but her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed a single tear.

Maybe it's because for someone else, the sudden funeral news is a fact that has been separated by more than 20 years and a lifetime for me. The heart has long accepted it, so I forgot how to cry? Zhou Manyun tilted his head slightly, slowly stretched out his hand, and reached out to the roll of paper that Gao Shi was holding tightly in his hand and had not let go since he entered the door.

The crumpled paper was spread out in front of Man Yun, and she carefully read each word on it, picking it out repeatedly.

"Du Xuanfeng copied it from the county, and they were afraid that it would be fake, so they reported it after they went to Pingzhou to verify it. I haven't told your mother ...... yet." Gao Shi wiped away his tears and explained on the side. This is not a private funeral report from the people, but a copy of the express decree sent by the DPRK and China to various places.

"On June 15, Nan summoned Yu to assassinate King Liang in the Great Ci'en Temple, and his father was unfortunately killed in the temple at that time?" , Zhou Manyun, who had never seen this newspaper in his previous life, read it carefully, raised his head, looked numb, and said, "Fake." ”

"Sister Yun, it's true!" Somewhat surprised that his niece really understood the slightly jerky text, Gao gently stroked Manyun's soft black hair, and corrected in a low voice.

"Fake!" , Zhou Manyun's little face was flat, and a bean-sized tear slowly slipped down his cheeks.

There is also a strange reason for his father's death.

This made her, who was ready to accept it earlier, unable to accept it! In his previous life, Zhou Manyun also saw the holy decree sent by Yongtai to his home in the first year to praise his father, and the cause of his father's death written on it was different from that in this newspaper.
