After the New Year, Xu Deshan grew another year older, it seems that suddenly, Xu Deshan is also taller, plus Xu Deshan insists on running every day, his figure is stronger, standing with Xu Jing, if you don't know each other, you can't tell who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother.

Although this is the case, Xu Deshan is still the youngest one in the family, and he has to go to the old lady every day, Xu Caizheng, Zhang's Wang's, and even Xu Zheng Xu Jing to ask for peace, the school was too busy some time ago, Xu Deshan didn't touch the ground, so he ignored these things, and now that he is free, Xu Deshan also goes around everyone's room every day, at least to be lively.

But after two days in a row, Xu Deshan found a problem, Xu Caizheng, the Zhang family, and the Wang family were all in his house, but he didn't see the old lady for the past two days. Xu Deshan wondered in his heart, the old lady is almost in her prime, although her body is still quite tough, but in this cold weather, where can she go, can this old lady suddenly remember to swim in winter.

Xu Deshan found Xu Caizheng and asked about it, but Xu Caizheng touched his head, and he was a little unclear about it, only knowing that every day the old lady was accompanied by a maid, and she went out after eating in the morning, and she would come back at noon, and the same was true in the afternoon, it had been a while, Xu Caizheng also asked the old lady what she was doing when she went out, and the maid said that the old lady had recently become obsessed with Buddhism, and there were people in the village who worshipped Maitreya God and Buddha, and the old lady went to worship every day to pray for Xu's house. After all, the old lady, at such an age, the old nest is easy to be weak in the house, and now she has found a hobby, which is also very good.

Xu Deshan listened, his face was a little strange, and he didn't know what kind of taste it was, Xu Deshan hastily finished the class that day, and then went home to wait for the old lady to come back, and sure enough, it was almost time for lunch, and the old lady came back with the support of the maid.

The old lady is old, she has to eat something soft, and it is a little inconvenient to sit on the big table, so the old lady's meals are made separately and brought to her room to eat.

The old lady likes Xu Deshan to the core, after all, this child was left by herself, and now she is so promising, and she has a bright face, seeing Xu Deshan coming, she hurriedly greeted Xu Deshan, and asked the maid to move a stool for Xu Deshan and sit beside her.

As a junior, it seems a little rude to ask the elders what they think, but Xu Deshan is a child, and the privilege of a child is that he can be coquettish, as long as he can confuse the other party with his cute appearance, then even if the other party is angry, he can't send it.

Xu Deshan gave the old lady a big smile and asked, "Grandma, you miss me to death, I haven't seen you all morning, where have you been." ”

The old lady, don't you just like this feeling of being surrounded by grandchildren, not to mention that Xu Deshan is still her favorite one, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are busy these days, where can you take care of me, an old woman." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Where is it, aren't we also for the prosperity of the Xu family." ”

The old lady said: "I know, this year, you kid can be regarded as a god, I have heard it a long time ago, even our pacification envoy on Hebei Road favors you, and wants to ask you to become an official under him." ”

Xu Deshan smiled: "Where did you hear about it, this is nothing." ”

The old lady said: "Don't care if you have it or not, you have earned a lot of glory for our family this year, and Xuezheng will also teach this year, hey, you all have some things to do, poor my old woman, she is old, and she can only eat at home and wait for death." ”

Xu Deshan hurriedly said: "We have the ability, it's not that your education is good, our brilliance is not your brilliance." ”

The old lady smiled: "Your kid is good to say, but although I am old, I always want to help you, help, this is not, my Xu family wants to make a fortune, the gods are coming to help, a few days ago Maitreya Buddha also took a fancy to our family's feng shui, and wanted to recruit me into the religion and protect our family." ”

Xu Deshan hurriedly asked, "What is the name of the religion?" ”

The old lady said: "Why are you stupid, the one who worships Maitreya Buddha is naturally Buddhism?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "If it is Buddhism, what kind of Buddha do they worship?" ”

The old lady said: "It is the Maitreya God and Buddha in the heavenly realm." ”

Xu Deshan said: "What Buddhist scriptures are there in Buddhism?" ”

The old lady said: "Yes, yes, the leader of my sect has written a book of "The Book of Tears" and a "Book of the Five Dragons", which is an immortal classic. ”

Xu Deshan said: "I see that you go out early and return late every day, and go out for a day all at once, what are you going to do." ”

The old lady said: "Naturally, I went to worship the Buddha, I told you, our Dharma protector said, this Maitreya Buddha is not an ordinary Buddha, he is the most serious, the more you worship him, the more he can protect you, now our Xu family is also considered to have some family background, you are working hard, I can only go to worship the Buddha, for you to ask for a peace and wealth." ”

Xu Deshan opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he didn't want the old lady to worship this Maitreya Buddha again, but seeing the old lady's pious face, Xu Deshan knew that it was useless for him to say, so he could only knock on the side and say: "Even so, you don't have to go out so early, I see that your body has been tired and emaciated in the past two days." ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "No, you can't go late." ”

Xu Deshan said strangely: "Why can't you go late?" ”

The old lady said: "The Dharma protector said that the first ten people who go every day can each give out an egg, how can I go late." ”

Xu Deshan cried and laughed: "Do you have a crush on that Maitreya Buddha or someone else's egg, and with our family's current family background, do you still care about an egg?" ”

The old lady stretched her face and said: "You child, how can you speak, Maitreya Buddha is a supreme immortal, why is it like an egg in your mouth, sin and sin, let the Buddha hear it, don't blame you, don't apologize to the Buddha quickly." ”

The old lady said, seeing that there was a tendency to stop, in the face of the old man's nagging, Xu Deshan was really a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Slow and slow, grandma, I apologize, apologize, isn't it okay to apologize, so let's go, the next time you go to worship the Buddha, call me too, how about I go to see Maitreya Buddha in person?" ”

The old lady was overjoyed all of a sudden, and said: "This feeling is good, in this way, I will call you after dinner tomorrow morning, let's go together, sincerity is precious, sincerity is spiritual, if you also worship my teaching, our Xu family descendants will be able to prosper and soar." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Then I'll prepare, I don't know where we are going to worship the Buddha." ”

The old lady said: "You don't need to prepare, then the Buddha will be offered in Xu Protector's house." ”

Xu Deshan scratched his head and asked, "What is this Xu Protector......?"

The old lady said: "It is Xu Niu in the east of the village, people have Huigen, there is a source of blessings, the first to worship Buddhism, and is enshrined as the Maitreya Buddha protector of our area, and the believers in more than a dozen villages near us have to go to their homes to worship the Buddha." ”

Xu Deshan thought for a while and said, "Xu Niu, isn't he the scoundrel who wanders on the street all day long, how did he become a protector of the Dharma in a flash." ”

The old lady said: "Eh, don't you dare to say that, we don't mean to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, Xu Protector is a sudden epiphany, was selected by Maitreya Buddha, that day his home released colorful light, was taught by Maitreya Buddha "Five Dragons Sutra" and "Tears Sutra", now it is a hundred poisonous body, thousands of years of life, if you go further, you can live immortality, fly to the heavens." ”

Xu Deshan couldn't listen to it anymore, so he interrupted the old lady and said, "What, you will wait for me tomorrow, let's go together." Then she ran away, leaving the old lady unsatisfied, looking forward to the coming of tomorrow.

Xu Deshan has a lot of time now, a simple arrangement, and came to the next day, this day Xu Deshan woke up especially early, got up and washed his face with cold water, and then banged on Gao Mang's door, and called Gao Mang, who was yawning, to go for a run, this is already a daily process, Gao Mang felt that he was half asleep and ran with Xu Deshan, and after running a few miles, Gao Mang found that there seemed to be something wrong with today's situation.

Although they are all running, Xu Deshan ran before, mostly around the whole village, or along the main road, but today Xu Deshan ran around, he couldn't get around the east of the village, and he simply went around every alley in the east of the village three or four times.

Originally, when he returned to the house, it was still early, Xu Deshan was going back to read, and Gao Mang was going to go to sleep, but this time Xu Deshan stopped Gao Mang, came to his room together, and asked Gao Mang to sit down, Xu Deshan smiled and walked around Gao Mang a few times, and the laughing Gao Mang was hairy, and there was no trace of sleepiness.

Gao Mang has been with Xu Deshan for so long, he is too familiar with Xu Deshan, every time Xu Deshan shows this smile, someone is about to start to be unlucky, and this time, it is unfortunate, it seems that Xu Deshan is the only one in front of him, this Xu Deshan, will not hit himself with the idea, Gao Mang thought, and tightly covered his money bag.

Finally, Xu Deshan stopped and asked Gao Mang with a smile: "Gao Zhuangshi, you have been in the Xu Mansion for a few years. ”

Gao Mang suddenly became frightened and said, "It's been two years. ”

Xu Deshan said: "Then how long have you been following me?" ”

Gao Mang was about to cry, and said: "I've been with Xiao Gongzi for a year, Xiao Gongzi, why do you ask that, is there anything I did wrong, you don't want me to do it." ”

Xu Deshan said: "No, no, but you have been with me for so long, if I have any difficulties, you always have to help me." ”

Gao Mang hurriedly said: "This is natural, the little boy's business is my business, even if I go to the soup, I will not give up." ”

Xu Deshan said: "I don't need you to go to the soup, I just need to borrow something from you." ”

Gao Mang was taken aback: "The little boy won't want to borrow my head for use, this, this ......"

Xu Deshan rolled his eyes and said, "You have nothing to do with it, go and listen to the book again, what do I want your head for." ”

Gao Mang let out a long breath and subconsciously looked around, for fear that the next moment Xu Deshan gave an order, he would rush out a group of knife and axe men and kill himself.

Xu Deshan slowed down and said, "But, although I don't want your head, I remember that you seem to have a dagger on your body, you give it to me, and I will play with it for two days." ”

When Gao Mang heard this, his face froze suddenly, and he became even more ugly than crying. It turned out that Gao Mang really had a dagger on his body, this dagger was obtained by Gao Mang when he joined the army, exterminated bandits, and took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield.

Men, born with no resistance to women and violence, Gao Mang regards this dagger as a treasure, always carries it on his body, and easily does not take it out, in order to be afraid of being seen by others, but after all, Gao Mang is following Xu Deshan, in a year's time, how many secrets of Gao Mang are known by Xu Deshan, if Xu Deshan lets Gao Mang do some rough work, Gao Mang doesn't care, but now that Xu Deshan has the idea of this dagger, Gao Mang is a little distressed.

Gao Mangdu's face suddenly cried again, and said: "Little boy, you are so young now, what are you doing with a dagger, accidentally injuring yourself again, besides, you are all scholars, you can't dance knives and guns, if you have anything, don't you ask me to go." ”

Xu Deshan said with a look of disgust: "Look at your stingy appearance, isn't it just a dagger, what does it matter if you borrow me to play for two days, it's not that I won't return it to you, besides, your dagger is nothing more than made of stainless steel, what's so strange, you see that he is sharp now, that is not used yet, after using it a few times, it will be the same as an ordinary dagger, and when there is a chance in the future, I will build you a real magic weapon, and it will not be too late for you to be proud." ”

Gao Mang had already understood the power of Xu Deshan's words, and was immune to the sugar-coated cannonballs in Xu Deshan's words, only to hear that Xu Deshan was going to use the dagger a few more times, and he was immediately unhappy, and shouted: "No, no, I am usually reluctant to use it, and I gave it to you, you won't use it to chop branches and play." ”

Xu Deshan said: "That's not something that only three or four-year-old children do, I'm five years old, and I won't be so boring anymore." ”

Gao Mang said: "This, Lord Xu will not agree to you to play with a dagger." ”

Xu Deshan said directly: "If you don't tell him, just say it, depending on the relationship between the two of us, you give it or not." ”

Based on Xu Deshan's usual performance, Gao Mang was of course not worried about Xu Deshan using the dagger to do anything dangerous, but because of Xu Deshan's usual performance, Gao Mang was very suspicious that Xu Deshan might break his dagger, Gao Mang was in a dilemma, and finally ruthlessly, gritted his teeth, and finally took out the dagger in his arms, and played with it in his hand very reluctantly for a while, before he was reluctant to give up, as if he was looking at the last side, and handed it to Xu Deshan.

To tell the truth, the appearance of this dagger is really good, Gao Mang has no wife and children, this dagger is his only ideological sustenance, most of the savings in the past two years have been spent on this dagger, and the dagger is equipped with a snakeskin sheath, but Xu Deshan took the dagger, took it out of the sheath at will, and slashed it on the table next to him with a knife, and suddenly left a deep trace on the table, Xu Deshan saw that he was proud, and put the dagger away with satisfaction, and put it into his arms. And Gao Mang over there was so distressed that he was about to shed tears, at the moment when Xu Deshan slashed to the table, Gao Mang had the heart to reach out and put his hand under the dagger, all of a sudden, Gao Mang regretted that he gave the dagger to Xu Deshan, Gao Mang really had the heart to snatch the dagger, and then beat Xu Deshan to the ground, and then stepped on 10,000 feet, giving his weak heart and dagger a comfort.

First look at Gao Mang's appearance, waved his hand to drive Gao Mang away, and he hid the dagger, and after eating, he went straight to the old lady's house, at this time the old lady had also eaten, and was waiting for Xu Deshan to come, seeing Xu Deshan coming, the old lady complained: "You said you, I asked you to come earlier, you came so late, now it's okay, my egg must be gone." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Don't worry, our family is not short of that egg, it is important to worship the Buddha, the heart must be pious, you won't go without this egg or what." ”

The old lady said: "Yes, yes, that's it, it's good to be sincere, then let's leave immediately, it's not too late." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Grandma, you slow down first, this is my first time going, I'm a little nervous, what should I do." ”

The old lady said: "My little baby, you will also be nervous, I thought you would not be afraid of heaven and earth after seeing the pacification envoy." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Where, I used to meet people, I went to see the Buddha for the first time, not a level, where can I not be nervous, I don't know what to do when I go, people don't let me in." ”

The old lady said: "It's all this one, what are you nervous about, although my Buddhism is sacred, but my grandson is not an ordinary person, where can I not let you enter the door, if he doesn't let you in, see that I don't have to beat him with a stick." ”

Xu Deshan said: "That's good, that's good." ”

The old lady said: "Then let's talk about it, I will bring you in and ask you to worship Maitreya God and Buddha, accumulate merits, you must be obedient, after entering, you are not allowed to run around, you are not allowed to make trouble, and you are not allowed to do anything rude in front of the gods and Buddhas, otherwise the gods and Buddhas will blame you, and I will not be able to protect you." ”

Xu Deshan nodded again and again: "This is nature, this is nature, grandma rest assured, I have my own measure." ”
