Chapter 246: Reuniting after a long absence
Happy and lively days pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, Orchid will be back tomorrow.
Xiangzi and Shuzhen said goodbye to everyone and rushed to the county seat early in the morning. Just after the willow river, Xiangzi seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Shuzhen: "I almost forgot it, Monk Guanghui brought me a message to go to the temple a few days ago." Otherwise, you go back first, and I'll go to the temple to have a look. ”
Shuzhen nodded happily and said, "Do you want to eat sauerkraut or spicy skin and pork at night?" ”
Xiangzi smiled happily and said, "Let's be spicy." ”
Xiangzi Lema traveled all the way south and arrived at the Thousand Buddha Cave. Seeing that the monk Guanghui had his eyes slightly closed, he was meditating there calmly. Xiangzi didn't dare to disturb, subconsciously glanced at the incense on the offering table, and quietly sat on the futon opposite.
Xiangzi was about to concentrate and adjust his qi, but he saw that Monk Guanghui's eyes were slightly open, and he said in a low and powerful voice: "Amitabha, you are finally here." ”
Xiangzi hurriedly got up and saluted, "I don't know what the master commands?" ”
Monk Guanghui stood up from the futon and said, "Let's go to the main hall first." ”
With that, he walked straight towards the newly built hall. Xiangzi silently followed behind him, and when he arrived at the door of the main hall, Monk Guanghui did not enter the main hall, but walked around the hall.
Xiangzi still followed behind him in doubt, bypassed the side wall, and saw a middle-aged woman behind the main hall who looked like a layman, scrubbing the window.
Although it is a back, it is enough to show the symmetry of the body and the neatness of the hands and feet. The most eye-catching thing is the thick black braid, which is aggrievedly stuffed in the monk's hat.
Hearing the footsteps, the woman saw that it was Monk Guanghui and hurriedly bowed. Monk Guanghui made an inquiry, and walked straight forward.
The woman had just turned around, but her gaze met Shoko's. The two of them took a step back in unison and looked at each other with a look of consternation.
After the silence froze, it was Xiangzi who first exclaimed happily: "Juanzi! Is that you? ”
The woman first froze for a moment, then rushed forward in ecstasy, grabbed Xiangzi's hands, and shouted with extreme excitement: "Brother Xiangzi! You're alive? ”
As he spoke, his body softened involuntarily. Xiangzi hurriedly dragged Juanzi and sat in the shade at the base of the wall. With an excited and happy expression, he said, "In the past two years, I have heard Master talk about you. Master has been looking for you, and I also said that it is a cold day, and I will go back to Dihua to find you. ”
Juanzi squeezed out the tears swirling in her eyes, looked at Xiangzi with grievances and grievances, and said, "Do you know? How have I been living since you were captured? They said you were dead, and I wandered around the mess all day, and I didn't find your body, so I just let the wild dogs drag you away. At that time, I had all my heart to die. ”
Xiangzi lovingly stroked Juanzi's shoulder and whispered: "I also escaped death, one leg and three ribs were broken, if it weren't for the treatment of the Guangzhi monk of Nanshan Temple, I am afraid that I would have died early." ”
Juanzi stroked Xiangzi's hand distressedly, and said emotionally: "It's really the blessing of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, so that you and I can still meet in this life." ”
Shoko smiled happily and said, "Let's find a place to talk about it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where Monk Guanghui went, and there was no one for a long time. So, he took Juanzi all the way to the back mountain.
Passing through the small gate of the courtyard wall, Juanzi asked eagerly and curiously, "Why are you here?" ”
Xiangzi sighed lightly and said, "I have lived in the monastery for a few months, and I have secretly come down the mountain to find you. I heard that you married the company commander of the company, but you never showed up again. Later, Company Commander Hu's people found me on the mountain, so they went to the monastery overnight and turned the monastery upside down in the name of searching for fugitives.
Fortunately, Master Guangzhi sent me in advance and hid in the vegetable garden in the back mountain. Otherwise, they will have to be arrested. Later, I saw them putting up notices everywhere to arrest me. There was no way, so Master asked me to go out and hide, and by the way, I sent a letter to Master Guanghui. Unexpectedly, this time it will be more than ten years. ”
Juanzi sighed lightly and said, "Life is really like a dream, and it will be seventeen years in the blink of an eye." I didn't find you, and I didn't want to go home to see the faces of those people again, so I went to Xi'an to join my uncle alone. I don't want to, something happened to my uncle's house, and the house was empty.
I had no relatives and no place to stay, so I had to go home. Unexpectedly, Bandao was robbed by bandits. During the fight with the other party, I suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain and fainted. When I woke up, I realized that I was two months pregnant. The bandit leader Wang Chong, who is a few years older than me and has no family, treats me very well. At that time, I had no other way but to agree to marry him for the sake of the baby in my womb.
Wang Chongren is really good, he loves the baby like his own, but unfortunately when the baby was two years old, he was betrayed by the enemy. In order to cover the retreat of our mother, I was shot to death. From then on, I became the leader of the bandits, and it was not until I met the master that I withdrew and returned to Xinjiang. ”
Xiangzi looked at Juanzi suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "Is that baby called Huzili?" ”
Juanzi glanced at him unexpectedly, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Did Master tell you?" ”
Shoko smiled happily and said, "The others are there for me." ”
When Juanzi heard this, she looked at Xiangzi happily, shook his shoulder a little out of shape, and said, "Huzi is there for you?" Oh, I'm still worried about how I can find his letter. ”
Xiangzi looked at Juanzi, surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
He smiled warmly at Juanzi and said, "Two years ago, when Master met me, he left him behind. ”
As he spoke, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took Juanzi's hand and said, "So, Huzi is our baby?" ”
Juanzi glanced at him coquettishly, and muttered sweetly: "It's not ours, who else can it be." ”
When Xiangzi heard this, he suddenly patted his head, and said with a nervous and frustrated expression: "This is bad!" Almost got into a big disaster. ”
Seeing Xiangzi's suddenly cloudy appearance, Juanzi looked at him suspiciously and nervously, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
While the two were talking, they had unconsciously walked to the small hut in the back ditch. Xiangzi sighed softly, Fu Juanzi sat under the elm tree in front of the house, pointed to the small thatched house in front of him, and told the story of his adventure with Shuzhen.
Before it was over, Juanzi suddenly exclaimed: "Huzi and Orchid are half-brothers and sisters!" ”
Shoko nodded shamefully and bitterly.
Juanzi looked surprised and painful, and said in a lost voice: "Amitabha! What kind of sin is this? ”
Xiangzi stood up abruptly, sighed lightly with self-reproach on his face, and said: "The matter has come to this, we have to try to let the two babies know that their life experience is important as soon as possible." ”
Juanzi looked anxious and melancholy and said: "I'm afraid that the doll is already in love, and I dare to say that it will hurt the doll." ”
Xiangzi secretly gritted his teeth, smiled bitterly and said: "If you should come, you must come, since Monk Guangzhi arranged for you and me to meet at this time, he has his own reasons." There are some things that can't be avoided, and we have to face them. ”
Juanzi nodded silently and reached out to take off the monk's hat. Suddenly, the two black and slender braids slid down like a spirit snake out of the cage.
