The cry of the baby, the voice of the woman, the sigh of the old man, the cursing of the grandmother...... Like the storm on the eve of the sting, it surrounded this hopeless cave.

The flames were high, just like the unquenchable emotions of the people, and the scorching flames shone on the roots of his frozen and stiff ears, like a needle pricked, Zhang Jingchun suddenly shouted hysterically into the crowd.

"That's enough—"

Taken aback by Zhang Jingchun's reaction, Bai Bait was so frightened that he took half a step back, staring at his worried eyes, and when he looked at him again, he saw that his face was crimson, and in addition to anger, despair, and fear in his eyes!

Her neck spasmed, she hardly dared to step forward to ask the reason, her heart shrank more and more tightly with the increasingly cold and lonely atmosphere around her, those restlessness and restlessness, those anger and sorrow, little by little frozen in the air, turned into a slowly floating white gas......

Zhang Jingchun struggled to lift his somewhat stiff neck, his stumbling body was a little unable to stand, and he said: "A thousand mistakes, they are all my Zhang Jingchun's fault, and it has nothing to do with anyone." I thought that the mistakes I made could disappear out of thin air, but as time went by, the more chaotic things became, and the more this thing didn't exist. However, it is only now that I understand that no, it is not like this! This matter cannot be as simple as the little urchin inadvertently breaking the teacup, nor is it something that can be settled with a few reproaches from others. I'm sorry for Jinming Temple, I'm sorry for everyone present, and I'm sorry for the white girl. ”

Thinking that the situation was getting more and more wrong, Bai Bait plucked up the courage to step forward, lowered his voice, and asked behind him, "Abbot, what's wrong with you?" What are you talking about? ”

"I'm not a good abbot, and I don't deserve to be a good abbot, but I'm sorry for my dead master, and so far, I choose to confess to you, but I hereby ask you, after knowing the truth, please give me a day, let us try our best to make up for the mistakes I have committed in life, so that I may feel less guilty when I leave."

His tone was full of self-reproach and sorrow, and his eyes became a little red.

"Zhang Jingchun! What are you messing around again? ”

"Abbot, what are you talking nonsense?"

Xiao Ami and Bai Bait shouted in unison, their faces full of worry.

Ignoring Bai Bait's obstruction, and ignoring everyone's increasingly incomprehensible emotions, Zhang Jingchun took a breath of cold air and continued to beg: "I know that I am no longer worthy to make such a request to you, but in any case, please allow me once, I am sorry for you, and I thank you too!" ”

He humbled himself, folded his hands, and bowed incessantly in all directions, each movement revealing deep remorse, and the tears of the bean kept jumping out of his eyes and slamming heavily on the ground, leaving a deep imprint.

Everyone looked at each other, their heartstrings tightened, knowing that they couldn't bear it, but they lacked the courage to step forward to stop it, only Bai Bait and Xiao Ami were constantly dissuading.

"In the case of the theft of incense money from Jinming Temple, although our biggest grievance has been washed away, this case is not over, is it?"

He glanced at everyone, a grotesque smile on the corner of his mouth, and the folds under the corners of his eyes were as if they had been carved by a knife, and the texture was clearly visible.

"I, Zhang Jingchun, as the abbot of Jinming Temple, will make another public court in the cave tonight, and completely end this case of people's anger! Give the white girl a real innocence! Give heaven and earth justice! ”

The case of the theft of incense money was brought up again, and people were panicked for a while! Bai Bait stood in place and was suddenly stunned, a thousand thoughts flashed in his mind, only the truth in front of him was true, and the little Ami beside him suddenly shouted with all his might.

"Abbot—"

"Doesn't everyone want to know how the merit box was pried into and who stole the incense money? Now, I'll tell you......"

"Don't! Abbot don't! Little Ami's lips and teeth trembled, and her eyes glistened with tears.

Before Elder Tang died, he instructed him that if he couldn't hold his last breath and wait for the abbot to appear, he must hand over the floating life order and the string of Buddhist beads on his body to him personally, and persuade him not to leave Jinming Temple, and at the same time let him keep the secret behind the theft of incense money.

When the abbot stood up to clarify the innocence of the white girl, he was more nervous than anyone else, he was afraid of the abbot, he was afraid that he would confess himself, he was afraid that he would leave from now on.

Although he has not been with the abbot for a long time, he knows very well what kind of person he is, he doesn't seem to care about what others say about him on the surface, but in fact, in his heart he values his self-esteem more than anyone else!

As long as he gets into trouble, the first reaction in his mind is to escape, and he must escape, no matter what the consequences, he must escape!

He didn't dare to imagine what everyone's reaction would be when the abbot told the truth, let alone what the abbot would do after he left.

He prayed, begged the abbot not to say it, not to ......

When Zhang Jingchun heard Xiao Ami's reaction, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the surprise was fleeting.

He smiled at the painful little Ami, turned back to the crowd, and said without hesitation.

A few days ago, I heard that there was a flower boat floating on the Qinhuai River, there was a beautiful lady on the flower boat, if the silver was lost, it could be taken home as a wife's room, Zhang hunchback he was born lustful, took some silver taels, deceived the old monk and said that it was down the mountain to relieve the refugees, so he got what he wanted to go down the mountain, saw the beautiful girl, threw a lot of silver, but did not lose the beauty of the girl, the silver of the Zhang hunchback rushed back to the mountain in a hurry. He was afraid of being scolded by the old monk, so he found a place to hide temporarily to avoid the limelight. Soon, he couldn't hold on to Zhang's hunchback, so he had to sneak back to the temple to steal some food. That day happened to be stolen in the backyard, he was a thief, mistakenly thought that his whereabouts had been discovered, hurriedly jumped into the granary, hiding in the granary he was afraid of death, felt that this time he would die very miserably, simply waited for the dead of night, he went out of the granary, slipped into the hall of immeasurable merit, pried open the merit box, stole half of the incense money inside, and then fled! "Tomb robbing

Everyone has long been calm, some people bite the name of Zhang hunchback and abuse, some people insult Jinming Temple out of a scum, some people are staring at the abbot in front of them, their faces are full of incredulity, they can't believe their ears, and they can't believe that what they see is true.

Looking at Zhang Jingchun in his eyes, listening to all kinds of sounds around him, Bai Bait only felt cold and piercing all over his body.

"Abbot, don't say it, please don't say it......" Little Ami knelt on the ground, heartbroken, but the voice never stopped.

Later, Zhang hunchbacked, who had stolen so much money for the first time in his life, returned to his hiding place, but he did not dare to go, he was very frightened and very entangled, until the next day, the people in the temple found him, saying that the real culprit of the theft in the temple had been caught, and asked him to go back to help try the case. Zhang Hunchback was very happy, he only thought that this time it was the Buddha who helped, since someone carried the black pot, he could naturally be safe. In this way, he returned to the temple, and in front of the old monk, he insisted that the person who stole the spices was not only a robber who robbed the refugees and a thief who stole the money for the incense, but also locked him in the Linglong Pagoda, but he never had to worry about it! ”

Zhang Jingchun said word by word, suddenly smiled to himself, a tear finally fell out of his eye socket uncontrollably, and slowly slid down his cheeks, at that moment, he felt so piercing, just a tear, he felt piercing.

The truth was revealed, he sniffed, still mustered up his courage, pulled his throat and shouted: "This stinky monk named Zhang Hunchback is not someone else, he is the abbot of Jinming Temple, it's me!" It's me! It's me! ”

Three times in a row sounded like thunder, which made people's hearts beat when they heard it.

Looking at Zhang Jingchun after telling the truth, he kept beating his chest, his face was twisted to hideous with remorse, and Bai Bait trembled with courage, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen in an instant.

"It turns out that the real murderer turned out to be you!"

"So you're the one with the beast's heart!"

... ...

After a confession, Zhang Jingchun fled.

This time, he fled quickly without a hint of hesitation.

Xiao Ami and all the monks continued to curb the over-emotional refugees, tears fell from the corners of his eyes again, and he said in his heart, the abbot finally escaped!

After leaving a sentence and letting himself guard these refugees, he finally escaped alone.

No one knows where he is going, and he has no time to stop him, all he can do is rely on his small body to carry out his words to the end!

Looking at the figure that flashed away from the entrance of the cave, against the surging wind and snow, Bai Bait chased out desperately.

The north wind howled in the snow and whipped her ears, wisps of green silk and flying snow raged on her cold cheeks, and she shouted the same name unswervingly, she knew that she was going to find him tonight!

Due to the wind and snow, the road could not be seen clearly, and she could only rely on a little clear scenery to discern the direction, and stepping on the mud all the way, she came to a slightly flat place, and the snow gradually became smaller.

She couldn't hold it anymore and sat down weakly, her fingers propped up on the snow, constantly stimulating her nerves to prevent herself from fainting.

Looking around, despair kept widening her eyes. Feeling that her heart hurt, she craned her neck and lowered her head, gasping for breath with difficulty.

In the slightly faint sound of wind and snow, there was a sudden intermittent choking sound.

She looked up and followed the sound over and over again, and in the mist of the wind and snow, a dazzling color was exposed outside a rock.

She knew it was a small piece of monk's robe.

Excited and trembling, White Bait stood up, stepping on the heavy snow, listening to the sound that was getting clearer and clearer, and slowly approached the rock.

When the voice suddenly stopped, her footsteps also subconsciously stopped. couldn't help shouting: "Zhang Jingchun, where do you want to run!" ”

The figure finally appeared.

Zhang Jingchun's heart tightened, he raised his head timidly, seeing that her steps were getting closer and closer, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and when he looked behind him inadvertently, he found that he had retreated to a cliff.

"White bait, don't come any closer!"

He was afraid that he would really be tempted to jump at some point.

"Go back, bait! You know, at this moment, the hardest thing for me to face is you! Please let me keep the last bit of self-esteem! ”
