Chapter 37: Knowing the Cause of the Mountain
There was a knock at the door. Nong Qingyun got up and opened the door. Shi Shazhu walked in.
"How's your talk? You okay? We were all worried outside! ”
"Thanks to the introduction of the virtuous brother, it turns out that Zen Master Zhiyin is my senior brother!" Nong Qingyun's eyebrows danced, overjoyed.
"We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and we can't finish what we want to say for a while, what I mean is to let the senior brother live in Shennong Palace for a while. Shennong Palace has also changed a lot over the years, I hope that Senior Brother will go back and take a look, everyone will miss him very much. What do you say, brother? ”
Nong Qingyun pulled Shi Shazhu as his ally.
"Good! Knowing the cause, how boring it is for you to stay in this place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop all day long, go to Shennong Palace to have a look! ”
Zhiyin did not speak.
Nong Qingyun played the round scene exquisitely: "Senior brother, I'm afraid I will have to think about it for two days, it's okay, I'll wait in Haihui Temple." ”
"Well, the farmer palace master, don't blame Zhiyin, he is used to being lonely, I'm afraid he can't adapt to a crowded place, hehe! At first he had his daughter with him......"
"Daughter?" Nong Qingyun was confused.
"That's right!" Shi Shazhu slapped his thighs violently, his eyes glowing with the light of hungry wolves predatoring, "Zhiyin, you can ask the farmer palace master to help you find your daughter!" With the status of Shennong Palace in the rivers and lakes, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone! ”
The corners of Zhiyin's mouth twitched twice, and the gaze that had been calm became urgent. Although he was singing with Shi Shazhu, his reaction was by no means completely pretending.
Nong Qingyun's keen sense of smell captures vital smells.
He first put aside the question of Nong Qingshan's daughter, and his sincerity can move any hard-hearted person: "Shennong Palace can definitely find someone if you want to find someone!" Senior brother, not to mention that this is your daughter, that is also my daughter. I want all the people in Shennong Palace to go out and look for it, and other things can be put down, and this matter must be put at the forefront! ”
"Knowing the cause, do you hear that? The master of the Nong Palace is so enthusiastic, you should go to Shennong Palace to live for a while, maybe what you have been looking forward to for the past 20 years will come true! ”
"Senior brother, how did you lose your daughter? Does she have any characteristics? Where did you lose it? I can put the news out now and let the disciples pay attention. Nong Qingyun cut to the point, he wants to make full use of the situation in his favor.
Shi Shazhu said: "Eighteen years ago, Zhiyin's two-year-old daughter was lost at the foot of this mountain, leaving no clues, and just disappeared out of thin air. Zhiyin asked from house to house at the foot of the mountain, and no one had seen his daughter that day. She was very beautiful and had a plum blossom birthmark on her back shoulder. Later, he also kept looking for it, but there was no news for so many years. I also helped to find it, and I asked friends from all over the country to investigate, but there was no news. ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, this matter is on me." After speaking, Nong Qingyun opened the door and shouted eagerly, "Tie Shu, come in!" ”
The moonlight poured on the quiet Haihui Temple, and the colorful points of light jumped on the broken walls and tiles that were unwilling to be lonely.
Nong Tieshu ran into the house quickly, leaving the stone alone outside the door.
The stone shouted at Nong Tieshu's back, "What did the peasant palace master say? Blood book? You wrote the blood book? No one answered him, and the door that had just been closed stood helplessly between them.
Nong Qingshan looked at the face that appeared, and the fragments of his past memories flashed in front of him chaotically, and he tried to sort out the clue, but it was like cooking sand into rice, and his efforts were in vain.
"Senior brother," Nong Qingyun said, "this is the little female Nong Tieshu." Tie Shu, meet Uncle Shi! ”
Nong Tieshu bowed down with unprecedented respect: "Meet the uncle!" ”
"It's a blessing that my junior brother's daughters have grown so big." In front of Nong Tieshu, Nong Qingshan's tone of speech softened unexpectedly.
"Tie Shu, Shi Bo's daughter was lost when she was two years old, and her whereabouts are still unknown. You hurry up and send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of your uncle's daughter, and be sure to find it as soon as possible! Nong Qingyun's enthusiastic face conveyed undoubted importance and urgency.
"Dad, now my little beggar identity is useful. Dad, don't worry. Uncle Shi, you can rest assured. It's on me. In addition to the people in the palace, there are also my little beggar friends, and there is nothing on the rivers and lakes that our little beggars can't inquire about. ”
Nong Qingshan nodded gratefully, and an indescribable kindness and trust was projected on the face of the girl in front of him, even reminding him of his own daughter.
"Uncle Shi, do you have any characteristics of your daughter? Or what clues do you have when you get lost? ”
"She was more than two years old when she went missing, and now she is almost twenty years old, seventeen years old......"
Nong Qingshan's eyes were in a trance, but there was a smile on his mouth.
"She looks like her mother, very beautiful, with a melon seed face, round and big eyes, a cherry mouth, and laughs like a lark singing. And also...... She has a red plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her back shoulder. ”
"You go and find out first, and if there is any result, please inform me and Uncle Shi immediately." Nong Qingyun Road.
"Okay, uncle, I'll go and pass the order now, don't worry, your daughter will find it." Nong Tieshu's smile was like the sunshine in winter, warming Nong Qingshan's cold heart, and his eyebrows and eyes showed a sincere smile that he had not seen for a long time.
"There's a little niece of Lao."
Nong Tieshu turned to leave, Nong Qingshan's eyes did not leave her back for a single step, until the door closed again, and the warmth in his eyes dimmed like the light behind the door.
"Senior brother and I should go back to Shennong Palace together, so that senior brother can know the situation of the search at any time, and it will be more conducive to finding his niece." Nong Qingyun begged again.
Shi Shazhu urged: "Zhiyin, go down the mountain, this is a great opportunity." You can't stay here waiting for your daughter to come back, you can't wait. ”
Zhiyin's eyes remained motionless, staring at the vast night outside the window. His mind also entered the darkness.
He wanted to find a glimmer of light like a moth on the edge of a window, but the darkness was boundless, and he was weakened and unable to even take a step forward.
He couldn't understand why the lucky hand on the wheel of fortune never stayed by his side for a moment. He doesn't need to get ahead, he doesn't fight for the position of the palace master of Shennong Palace, he only wants his lover and daughter, but they are still taken away from him one by one.
He missed his daughters so much, and that longing became the same instinct as eating and sleeping, as a part of his body, like his nose and ears, and he may no longer be aware of their existence all the time, but they breathe with him and mourn with him.
Since the year of his daughter's disappearance, he has paid special attention to the pilgrims who come to Haihui Temple to offer incense.
From being more than two years old to being twenty years old, for a whole eighteen years, he had scrutinized so many faces that the appearance of his daughter was gradually blurred in his mind, and he had to put everything down to letting go.
Creation never stopped teasing him, and now his self-paralysis and deception were bloodily dissected, and he felt pain, but saw a little light.
He will go to the light against all odds, for the light is his whole world.
Zhiyin took a deep breath and made sacrifices and compromises to reality: "As long as I can find my daughter, I can go anywhere." ”
Nong Qingshan and Nong Qingyun went down the mountain overnight. Nong Qingyun was afraid that Nong Qingshan would change his mind, and Nong Qingshan was afraid that the light would disappear.
Nong Tieshu ostensibly went to check her daughter's whereabouts for Nong Qingshan, but in fact she did not leave Haihui Temple. Nong Qingyun instructed her to stay and secretly search Haihui Temple to find Shennong Whip.
Exhausted by hunger and exhaustion, the stone did not know where to go. He hung his head and leaned against a termite-eaten pillar, fully aware that not everywhere is fun, and that it is better to go anywhere than to stay at home.
He began to miss his mother who took care of him, the maid who played with him and scolded him, and even his father who never smiled.
A large hand grabbed his arm as he was confused, and the person he thought he was missing appeared.
"Stone, come to me." Shi Shazhu looked at the stone with a smile, and the luring bait was about to come out.
The stone statue was thrown into the ice cellar, and suddenly woke up: "No, I, I won't go!" ”
"You have to go! I have a craft to pass on to you! "Shi Shazhu is so resolute that it cannot be denied by stones.
"Why pass it on to me? There are so many people in the world, you can pass it on to others! The stone desperately tried to shake off Shi Shazhu's hand, but his hand was like an omnipotent giant iron tong, and he didn't give the stone the slightest chance to break free.
"Because you have talent, God has given you what others don't have."
"What's that?"
"Eyes."
"What's wrong with my eyes? Isn't it the same as others? There are only two, not three, and there is no way to be as powerful as Erlang God. The stone closed his eyes and did not allow the sand bamboo to take advantage.
"You're not just three."
"What?" Stone opened his eyes, "How many eyes do I have?" Where's the two on the head? ”
He was worried that Shi Shazhu would lose his mind and mess around with him, wondering if he would chop himself into meat sauce and make meat buns. He concluded that he was lifeless, because Shi Shazhu's martial arts were mysterious.
"You have four eyes." Shi Shazhu's serious expression makes it hard to believe that he is a madman.
"I ......" and the madman no longer make sense, and the stone begins to look for a chance to escape by surprise.
He screamed "oops". Shi Shazhu let go of his hand, and he ran away. He had only taken two steps before the big hand triumphantly clamped his collar again.
"Help! Help me! The shouts of the stones hovered over Haihui Temple, but in vain.
The only little monk who lived in it didn't know whether he was asleep or scared, and there was no movement.
In the panic, a scent came from the back of the stone's head.
"Roast chicken?" The stone swallowed his saliva, forgot his fear for a moment, turned away, swept Shi Shazhu's ill-intentioned face, and looked into the night.
