The light veil was suddenly lifted, and the scorching fire light illuminated a gloomy and shocking face!

Everyone's hesitant gaze quietly moved from the light veil that fell to the ground to Bai Bait's face, and an exclamation completely broke all the dead silence.

"It's her!"

Shocked by the eyes projected by everyone, Bai Bait first buried her head and tried to cover half of her face with her hands, and when she heard the exclamation, she immediately turned around, wanting to escape, but she couldn't escape Zhang Jingchun's restraints!

Zhang Jingchun pulled the white bait and insisted on walking into the crowd, he raised his voice and said, "Everyone! Disturb you to be quiet for a moment, and listen to the abbot say a few words. ”

The uncertain emotions were suppressed one after another, and the huge cave began to quiet down, only the burning flames still made a fierce sound, and every eye-catching face was covered with solemnity.

"Everyone is thanking me, but this abbot is really deserved, and it is not someone else who really helps you to avoid the pursuit of werewolves and find the final hiding place, it is the girl next to me!"

Zhang Jingchun stood in the crowd with all his strength, looked around at the incredible faces under him, and said loudly.

"This girl, she is called the white bait, from organizing the assembly of refugees to escorting them to the cave, she has been following the back of the team all the way, walking with you all the way!"

I don't know if it's because the atmosphere around me is too quiet, or because of what, every word and sentence Zhang Jingchun said fell like raindrops on the bottom of Bai Bait's heart, and there was a loud sound! The hand in his palm trembled uncontrollably, and she hardly dared to listen to him any more.

"Maybe the big guys think that we found this cave by mistake, but I'm going to tell the big guys here that the appearance of this cave is not accidental!" Zhang Jingchun pulled his gaze to Bai Bait, nodded solemnly, swallowed his breath and continued to say to everyone: "It's her, who took the big guy all the way over the mountains and mountains to find this!" However, she never admitted it, and it was not until she was joking with her that she accidentally revealed the truth. ”

"I've been wondering, why doesn't this well-intentioned girl want to tell the truth? Later, I had a new confusion from the light veil on which she hid her face. ”

"Along the way, I asked her many times, and I said, what kind of veil do you have nothing to wear, she just said, I occasionally contracted the cold, and I didn't want to infect other people. It wasn't until I realized that she hadn't contracted the cold at all! Let's ask, how could a patient suffering from wind and cold sit alone at the entrance of the cave alone, blowing cold wind while relying on air to keep warm? ”

"She just doesn't want the big guy to recognize her! She never dared to admit everything she had done for the big guys, but chose to follow the back of the team in obscurity, just because she was afraid that the big guy wouldn't believe her and not understand her, and once again treat her as a demon girl and a bad spirit! ”

"It's hard to be a good person, and after being treated as a bad person by everyone again and again, you have to insist on being a good person desperately, which is undoubtedly even more difficult!"

"But in such a difficult situation, White Girl, for the safety of the big guy, she insisted on being this good person! Even if you hit yourself on the head and bleed, you will be injured completely! ”

The blood in the whole body gathered in the heart, and the neck spasmed to the point of numbness. Zhang Jingchun paused, suppressed his uncertain emotions, and continued.

"My Buddha is compassionate, and it is often written in the scriptures that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. This white girl, what she saved today is not only a life, but also the lives of more than 200 refugees inside and outside my Jinming Temple, large and small! Good people who have done good deeds should not be buried! You shouldn't bear everyone's misunderstanding alone, on the contrary, it will make good people feel so cold! If everyone is like this, who will dare to stand up in times of crisis in the future? I know that the big guys believe in Jinming Temple from the bottom of their hearts, and they have always followed the teachings of the Buddha, these truths, it is impossible for everyone not to understand, but when everyone is in danger and worried about their own life and death, everyone chooses to retreat, ignores their own conscience, and bears the will of the Buddha! ”

Perhaps, like many people present, he recited countless scriptures for countless years and believed in the Buddha for nearly half his life, but in the end, he still failed to achieve stability for half his life, and finally ended up desolate and absurd for half his life.

Zhang Jingchun took a breath of cold air and tried to pull his throat to let the sound travel farther away, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Today, the abbot has made the cave a public court, and I want to avenge our good people! After the investigation of this temple, the case of the theft of the merit box in our temple has nothing to do with the white girl and her companions, and it is the internal responsibility of our temple to falsely accuse the innocence of good people! Here, on behalf of the temple, I would like to express my deep apologies to the white girl, and I hope that the big guy will not misunderstand her again, and give her a fair and innocent person! ”

The words fell, but the aftersound did not disperse, like an ancient bell, ringing over and over again, shocking.

Seeing that the abbot wanted to slap his palm at the white girl, the refugees could no longer be calm, and one by one they rushed forward to apologize: "Abbot, it is us who should apologize to the white girl!" It is because we only care about our own survival, let our selfish desires blind us, disregard the life and death of others, and mistake good people for evil people! ”

Her lowered eyes finally lifted, but those clear eyes had already been wet with tears, and they were hazy, just like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River gradually blurring the scenery of her hometown, and she saw it very sad.

When the truth in Zhang Jingchun's mouth was about to come out, she wanted to rush out of the cave and leave, but along the way, she walked too humble, humble to the dust, so humble that she didn't dare to think about how everyone reacted, disbelief and misunderstanding after learning the truth? Self-reproach and remorse? No matter which one it is, she is afraid that her heart will no longer be able to bear these overly heavy things, and she is afraid that she will completely collapse in the next moment!

But Zhang Jingchun has always held her trembling hand firmly in the palm of her hand, she can feel it, from beginning to end, there is a sure look, falling on her, never changed, with the warmth of the palm, again and again to bring her courage, encourage her, open the closed heart little by little, support her, bravely face the truth, the attention of everyone and those belated convictions!

Looking at the appearance of self-blame and remorse with tears in her eyes, she couldn't say a word for a while, if she said that in front of the hall of immeasurable merit, when she was pointed out by thousands of people, she seemed to be in the throat of Huang Lian, and it was difficult to say that she was suffering, then when she faced everyone again at this moment, she was even more bitter than Huang Lian, and the spasms invaded the whole body.

In her mind, the appearance of leaving is like a wave constantly surging, at this moment, she wants to rush to his side and tell her in person: Will leave, we have finally been wronged!

The thorn, which had been piercing the bone marrow for days, was suddenly pulled out of the flesh, and the pain and joy shocked her nerves over and over again!

"White Maiden! I've brought my baby to plead with you! ”

In the crowded crowd, a mother and son rushed out desperately, their voices carrying endless repentance. The woman pulled down the child and knelt down in front of her, "Bao'er, quick! Kowtow to this sister! Come on! "Ambiguous 43

The child gritted his teeth, tears flowed, and he couldn't stop sobbing, and his little body twitched.

Bai Bait was shocked in his heart, wiped his tears, and immediately stepped forward to help: "Why are you doing this?" Get up! Kids, get up! ”

She spoke in a hurry, her voice a little hoarse, but the woman grabbed her hand with tears in her eyes, and insisted on kneeling on the ground, blaming herself so much that she could not help herself.

"White girl, last night, Lang Zhong diagnosed, my Bao'er has poor bones, and she couldn't eat a full meal for a few meals, and she suddenly fainted yesterday due to hunger and weakness, not because she fainted after eating your roasted wolf meat! It's our family who has wronged you! We are blind and have a bad conscience, and you have forgiven us a lot! Sorry ......"

Listening to the eldest lady tell the truth little by little, Bai Bait only felt that the boulder pressing on his chest made a loud bang and finally landed! At that moment, the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably, and she sniffed, her lips trembled, and she almost lost her voice.

She held the calloused hands of the eldest lady and comforted: "It's great that the child is fine, you get up quickly, the ground is cold, at this time, take care of your body!" ”

pulled the boy next to the eldest lady and said worriedly: "The child is obedient, can you get up?" ”

"If you refuse to be our mother and son, what face will we have? The grace of a meal is reciprocated by a thousand gold. The words of our ancestors have been passed down for dozens of generations, and in us, they have become a gift of a meal, and a thousand knives have reciprocated. I'm afraid that when we go to the underworld, we won't have the face to see those fathers and grandparents again. ”

The woman shook her head repentantly, her eyes drenched in tears, without a hint of shine.

"Auntie, don't say it, get up!"

In the crowd, a strong man couldn't hold back his emotions and shouted at her, saying "white girl", and apologized.

"White Maiden! All mistakes are our fault, we should not jump to conclusions, bite to death, the thieves are you and your companions, we should not beat you to death with a stick because of this matter, in vain to give us wolf meat in the midst of trouble, let alone in the moment of danger, do not listen to your words of escape, but chase you with sticks, you risk death to come to tell you, but we ..... It is because of our own evil fruits that we have today's catastrophe, and those relatives who died are our best retribution! Now that we are living in this world, we are already ashamed, God will give us the retribution we deserve sooner or later, but before we die, we can still hear the white girl forgive! In this way, we will die blindly! ”

Her small body stood in the crowd, her eyes flashing with tears, and she couldn't help but look back around, the flickering torches continued to emit a dim light, and the little light illuminated their amiable faces, and everyone was silent, or wept with tears, or leaned against the wall in silence, or folded her hands, or knelt down to hide her face...... Every moment seems to be looking at relatives, they are all members of Qinhuai's small homeland, and it is a great honor to be fortunate to gather here today.

"Everyone... Fathers and fellow villagers, I don't know each other, forgive me for calling you in such a tone for the first time. Standing here today, I don't want to prove my innocence, I don't want to gain your trust, all I want is to see that each of you can escape from the werewolf's minions safely, and I don't want to see the bloodshed happen again, and I don't want to see anyone repeat the mistakes of the past. The deceased is gone, and we should be extra careful, and remember our lives! ”

"If you want to forgive or not, I want to say that I don't care if I forgive or not, I just want to tell you that since Bai Bait chose to appear by everyone's side again in this way and run for his life with everyone, it has already shown that I no longer care about those misunderstandings and mockery. I am very happy and relieved to be here with everyone, and nothing else! Finally, thank you for your understanding of a strange woman, thank you......"

Bai Bait didn't hesitate to say anything, and bowed deeply to the crowd. Heavy applause rang out everywhere, and a rare smile bloomed on everyone's face.

After that, the eyes that looked at Bai Bait were no longer apologetic, but more respectful, and that kind of awe-inspiring thing was deeply planted in their hearts when they couldn't help but lift it from their hands.

For her, perhaps, starting from the phrase "white girl" in everyone's mouth, the iceberg in her heart has already shown signs of ice dissolving.

The cave was dark, but the torches were bright, like a ray of hope, just as she saw when she looked back.

"White Girl ......"

Her universe was pitch black, and she groped her way with only a cane and an ear.

"Horses!"

"You treat me as a relative, respect me, believe me, but I failed to believe you when you were in the most difficult time, and treated me with a slap, I know that I have no face to appear in front of you, but every time I lift the palm, my heart is like a knife, I think, at that time, you also felt like this."

She, with her eyes open, stood opposite her, a distance not far or close, quietly speaking.

"Only when you have pain can you know how to repent, and in the end it is too late, and in the end you realize that you can do nothing but owe a word. I feel uneasy, I want to say to you in person after all, but you don't ask for any words of debt, simply, I don't even have the opportunity to stand in front of you. At this point, you don't have to say anything, just let me say thank you one last time! Thank you, our White Maiden! ”

"Mrs. Ma!"

"Let's call me Sister Ma!"

"Good ......" Her starry eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth squeezed out a smile of relief, and she called softly: "Sister Ma!" ”

couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and rushed straight over, hugging her tightly.

When she reached out again to touch the somewhat cold face, she thought, it must be a peerless face, that is the real peerless face.

Her hands were still so warm, just like her sister-in-law's.
