It's night, it's silent, and the west wind is alone.

The snow peaks stand in the mountains, the dangerous peaks stand tall, the mountains are stacked, and the eyes are wide open.

The uneven stone walls are half-hidden, locking the warmth in the cave. The scattered branches are intertwined with each other, casting into small towers, in the eyes of people's expectation, they begin to exude a delicate and warm light, quietly, the warmth is like a stream, gathering into a stream, in this dark cave against the current, constantly dispersing the cold and gloom, quietly flowing in everyone's heart.

When the sun fell on the western mountain, everyone was exhausted, and they no longer had any illusions about the final hiding place, but this treasure cave, like a piece of green in the desert, quietly appeared in front of their eyes.

"Abbot, after the last inspection, there are seventy-seven monks and one hundred and three refugees in each cave at present, a total of one hundred and eighty people, of which sixteen are fleeing along the way and joining one after another."

After counting with the other monks, Xiao Ami immediately stepped forward to report.

"Are all those refugees settled?" Zhang Jingchun asked unhurriedly.

"Back to the abbot, the refugees are all settled well, everyone is building a fire to ward off the cold, by the way, there is also a spring in the cave, and some refugees are already trying to boil the water!" Little Ami replied.

Zhang Jingchun pursed his lips, nodded with satisfaction, smacked his tongue slightly, tied up his sleeves, and gestured out of thin air: "In this way, you go and pick out all the strong men from the refugees, let them team up with the people in our temple, and take turns guarding the entrance of the cave tonight, changing every half an hour, in case the enemy sneaks up." ”

"Okay, little monk, let's do it!" Little Ami walked to the depths of the cave with high spirits, and was busy with several monks.

Zhang Jingchun's face was full of joy, and there seemed to be spring water in his heart, he only felt extremely comfortable and calm, slowly retracted his gaze, and his warm gaze subconsciously fell to the entrance of the cave, only to see her leaning quietly on the stone wall, and her posture was a little sultry.

"What are you looking at?" He walked with a hunched back and a catwalk, his movements were very light, and his words were very sudden, but the effect was not good.

She didn't seem to be frightened by his abrupt behavior, only to see her pair of cold stars refracting a not-so-bright brilliance, falling on the mountains and mountains in the distance, and the whole person looked sickly, and she couldn't see too much anger.

"Are you thinking about your lover?" Zhang Jingchun laughed and teased, but she still didn't mean to deal with him, so she couldn't be in a hurry, so she stepped forward and said nakedly: "Oh, don't look at it, he left early!" Won't come to you! I've been watching this way carefully! As soon as he said goodbye to Tongtianyan, he was gone, and it was useless for you to wait and look forward to it! White bait, don't be sad for such a person, it's not worth it! ”

Didn't the moon rise in the north? The frivolous wanderer has also become an emotional saint? Bai Bait heard him say these words, and his silent heart couldn't help but ripple, although he didn't like it, it was also quite relieving.

"I said don't worry about it, like a deep resentful woman! You're not married, you're not old! Zhang Jingchun was not happy, his little finger hooked, took advantage of his unpreparedness, touched her chin, and said happily: "Come, give the abbot a smile!" ”

"Go away!" The white bait dodged quickly, so he didn't let him succeed. couldn't help but say: "You're a deep resentful woman!" I said, how can you, a monk, be so self-respecting? Believe it or not, I'm shouting here, and you're ruined in an instant? ”

Seeing her excited, Zhang Jingchun couldn't help but smile proudly, then leaned against the stone wall, sat opposite her, and asked: "Hey, seriously, I have been in Jinming Temple for almost forty years, and I often go around in circles in front of and behind the mountain in order to be lazy, which consumes time. ”

"Shhh Could it be that you and your lover have found such a secret place and done happy things here, as others said? ”

He frowned and hesitated, his face incredulous.

"Whoa! Don't talk nonsense, tarnish the innocence of my good family! Listening to what he said, the more outrageous it became, Bai Bait hurriedly confirmed: "This is obviously ...... Obviously, I accidentally found it when I was climbing the mountain to collect medicine, and I also suffered a lot for this! ”

Speaking of this, recalling the wind and snow abuse and the danger of the cliff that night, she was really a little afraid, if she hadn't fallen at the mouth of this cave, she might have been buried at the bottom of the cliff.

As she spoke, she lifted her arm and rubbed it, the pain of the night never seemed to subside, and at some point she was to blame.

"Haha! Ha ha! ”

Raising his eyes, Zhang Jingchun suddenly laughed like a madman!

Bai Bait only felt inexplicable, looking at him like a fool.

"Now it's finally admitted! That's not what you said when I asked you during the day! Zhang Jingchun smiled almost from ear to ear.

During the day, he repeatedly asked her where the hiding place was, but she pretended to be mysterious, and just asked him to direct everyone where to go now and where to go later...... When she arrived at the cave, she said that she found it by mistake in the process of fleeing together, and said that the heavens were beautiful, and the land and the mountain gods appeared together, knowing that the people were in trouble, so they pretended to be pitiful, and conjured up such a cave for everyone to hide.

Now that he has tried it a little, he has finally figured out the truth.

The inexplicable white bait was suddenly stunned, and she didn't pay attention to the villain's way, her annoyed eyes floated, her face was full of disdain, but by chance she found that not far away, the sudden eyes of the refugees flew together, and the scene was dead for a moment......

There was a panic in her heart, she hurriedly buried her head, subconsciously pressed the light veil on her face with her hand, a touch of piping hot instantly flooded her face, and when she heard the piercing laughter on the other side, she immediately moved her leg and kicked him with a warning kick.

Zhang Jingchun, who smelled the strange atmosphere, suppressed his smile, looked around with a tense heart, coughed lightly twice, and sat up straight at the same time, deliberately showing the majesty and solemnity of his abbot.

Then he clasped his hands together and said solemnly to Bai Bai: "Female donor, don't be sad anymore, you might as well smile like a poor monk, you can forget a lot of troubles." ”

Bai Bait silently raised his lowered eyes and nodded cooperatively.

The strange atmosphere slowly dissipated.

"Why, are you still reluctant to say it?" Glancing tentatively into the distance, Zhang Hunchback turned to ask Bai Bait.

"Say what?" White Bait asked inexplicably. 361 Reading

"Deliberately concealing everyone's reasons." Zhang Jingchun said.

"What's the reason, if you can get away from the werewolf safely, why don't you care? None of this matters. White Bait explained.

Staring at her evasive eyes, Zhang Jingchun shook his head at her and said, "Who said it doesn't matter?" When my master was alive, he always taught me that the grace of a meal is reciprocated by a thousand gold, and if it weren't for you today, none of them would have escaped, and you would have been kind to them. ”

"They all depend on you, you are the abbot, the backbone of the most difficult times, if you want to say that you are gracious, you are also gracious. I can't afford it. ”

Bai Bait said calmly. For some reason, when she heard that sentence from his mouth again, her heart tingled a little, but the pain was very light, only for a moment.

The more Zhang Jingchun listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he frowned and suddenly felt a little abrupt: "Tsk! I can see it, it turns out that you have always used me as an arrow to give orders! ”

"Where? No, your main problem is that you don't read too much, think too much! Bai Bait explained.

"Why not? You pushed me forward and made me their backbone, taking advantage of their trust in me. And you don't dare admit in front of everyone that you know where to hide, and that speaks for itself. ”

Zhang Jingchun stared at Bai Bait suspiciously, looked around, pointed to her veil and said suddenly.

"That's right, that's right! You're not actually getting the cold, are you? If you really catch the cold, how can you stay far away from the fire over there, and sit alone at the mouth of the cave to blow the wind and get cold? You haven't been caught in the cold, what veil are you wearing? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, stay where it's warm!" White Bait didn't take what he said seriously, and began to urge.

In a hurry to place an eviction order? She was clearly seen by him, and she began to feel weak.

Zhang Jingchun smiled secretly and didn't embarrass her anymore. But there was always a question in his mind, elusive.

It was really a little boring, he patted his knees, hugged the stone wall and stood up, sang a minor tune in his mouth, stopped one step at a time, pretended to be extraordinarily leisurely, and walked away on his own.

Walking into the group of refugees, the bright light of the fire illuminated every haggard face, and everywhere they went, the refugees clasped their hands together and said endless words of thanks in their mouths.

"Thank you to the abbot for saving us, thank you, ah......"

"You are the reincarnation of the Buddha, and you have helped us to survive the calamity, and your merits are immeasurable, and your merits are immeasurable......"

Their faces were full of reverence, and every one of them looked at him with admiration, as if in a dream, and in this moment of glory he should have been overjoyed, and he should have cried out in his heart over and over again: Behold, those who mock me, keep your eyes open! How great is Zhang Jingchun now! What a pride! He's not the incompetent and ugly hunchback anymore! He became a hero in the hearts of the people!

But the usual mocking voices and sarcastic eyes flashed in his mind frame by frame, and his heart was like 10 million ants biting, and the pain was so bad that he could barely breathe.

He tried to keep his eyes open, nodding or smiling respectfully at them.

He knew that the feeling was not the emotion of being recognized by everyone at one time, but the piercing self-blame, the shame of being ashamed of himself, and the disgust of his moldy and smelly life!

This is the first time in his 39 years that he has really looked at himself in the face of his heart, and those flowers and applause are not a greater irony?

The silver taels for the relief of refugees, the hundreds of taels of incense money stolen, as the abbot of Jinming Temple, he failed to keep Jinming Temple well, watching the elders around him leave one after another, watching his home blurred by flesh and blood, all of them have a direct connection with him.

This is a great irony!

"Mother, I miss Daddy." A child buried his head in his mother's chest, tears still stained in the corners of his eyes.

"Your Daddy...... It's gone, it's gone, it's gone..."The old woman was already crying with the child in her arms.

The people on the side saw the sad picture, one by one lowered their heads, like frosted eggplants, and some women bit their lips, unable to suppress their excitement, and kept beating their chests with their fists, reading: "If we could have listened to the words of the demon girl earlier, our relatives might not have died, and we only hate not being able to believe in her, and we couldn't escape earlier!" ”

"She's not a demon girl, she's Guanyin who saves suffering, she came to help us from the beginning, we wronged good people and mistook good people for evil thieves! It is we who have offended the Bodhisattva! It's all retribution! Retribution! ”

Another old woman complained with tears in her eyes, sighing and sighing, and regretting it!

Seeing this, he turned his eyes sharply and looked at the white bait at the entrance of the cave, and the incomprehensible doubt in his heart finally had an answer in a flash.

At this moment, he was like everyone else, he was full of regrets, he was different from everyone, a sense of guilt pressed on his heart, so that he could barely breathe, perhaps, he never realized that what he did at that time caused not only blood and tears as far as the eye could see, but also a blow to the hearts of innocents, and a blasphemy of noble souls!

And Bai Bait is undoubtedly the biggest sufferer of the whole tragedy.

He suddenly felt so funny, it all came from him, and he was still babbling and asking her why......

He quietly quickened his pace and walked towards the white bait.

At the entrance of the dark hole, Bai Bait was gently puffing into the two frozen palms to warm up, and when she noticed the figure that suddenly stopped beside her, she turned a blind eye and continued to breathe hard to keep warm, only waiting for the silent figure to stop for a long time, she finally couldn't help but raise her head and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

He didn't say a word, and in the face of great offense, he pulled her up from the stone where she was resting, and without looking back, he went straight to the bright firelight.

A cold wind blew silently, and the light veil that hid her face, under her constant struggle, suddenly flew into the air, her eyes widened, and the anger in her eyes was suddenly replaced by panic...
