Chapter 42: Lonely?
The back door of the Guanyin Temple.
"Damn, it stinks so fucking home. If you want to be big and small, if you want small, you will come big, is this fucking right with Lao Tzu? β
"Smack"
As soon as the sound of the jar shattering, the man's scolding voice followed.
"Fuck, it's eight lifetimes of blood mold!"
"Bang"
"Click"
"Dada-da-da..."
The sound of small stones rolling on the ground became quieter and quieter, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer. As soon as Shi Zhongtai tightened his breathing and was about to welcome the drunken man opposite, he heard the sound of the wooden door opening.
"Squeak"
"Ah, quietly, it looks like it's all asleep. Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten here yet, and he doesn't even have anything to stutter, so he went to bed to rest, a group of white-eyed wolves, and he didn't look at which one brought the incense in this temple. β
"Raised by a son of a bitch, a good little lady doesn't do it, come here to worship the Buddha, worship and worship I don't know which one to worship, hehe, or Lao Tzu is the most capable."
Then there was a string of triumphant laughter, Shi Zhongtai leaned against the wall, looked at the man in the short shirt who had walked far away, and couldn't help frowning, the hand touching his chin involuntarily touched back and forth, and even the upturned jaw was thinking deeply about something.
"Master, why did you come here, the little ones have been looking for you, and they almost ran to the foot of the mountain to start all over again."
Hearing Tuesday's voice behind him, he glanced at it nostalgically for the last time, Shi Zhongtai turned around with a grin, and said to Tuesday with white smoke on his head, "Aren't you in good health, and it won't take much effort to go down and run up again!" You can also exercise, your son-in-law must be very willing. β
"Adults really love to laugh, even if it's a scud, the little one can't bear to toss back and forth." Tuesday peeked at Shi Zhongtai, and saw that he was looking at himself with a smile, and continued with a smile, "If the adults are willing to watch, the small ones will go back and forth immediately, so that the adults can be happy." β
"Hehe, in front of your son-in-law, I haven't seen your mouth play so slippery! Why did you get to me, you're a ghost. β
While laughing and scolding, Shi Zhongtai returned along the same road. Let him go through the back door, he doesn't want to, maybe where the cloud has gone, it is estimated that it is really the same as the man said, and he can't even stutter.
"Hey, hey"
Tuesday scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and carefully explained, "Adults speak fiercely, but they are actually very kind-tempered. My son-in-law is different, he usually disciplines his subordinates very strictly, and when he looks at it, he is very scared, so he naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of his son. β
"Am I kind? Haha, you're not afraid that I'll tell your son-in-law everything you said, then you won't be able to eat and walk away. β
Tuesday was worried in his heart, but his face was still cautiously smiling, "Your lord, you have a kind heart, and the little one knows that you won't do that." β
"You're a clever ghost."
didn't say anything more, Shi Zhongtai twisted his stiff neck, reached out and stroked it gently, stretched his waist as he walked, and finally crossed his hands over his head, looking at the dim and red scenery in front of him, and suddenly a feeling of loneliness floated in his heart for no reason, not only physical loneliness, but also spiritual loneliness.
"Tuesday, where are you from?"
"The younger one is the son of the Zhou Mansion."
"The family has a child, so you and Kang Ren can be regarded as growing up bare-buttocks together?"
"The little ones don't qualify." Tuesday said with a smile, and then added, "The younger one is two years younger than Childe, and he was sent to Childe by the master when he was six years old, and he has been following Childe ever since, and it has been more than ten years." β
"More than ten years? How many people have more than ten years! Shi Zhongtai held his head in his hands and looked at the sky with his neck up, "Tuesday, you, have you ever felt a little lonely in your heart, it is a kind of emptiness, loneliness, and loneliness for no reason." Do you have one? β
"The little ones don't know."
"Huh"
With a self-deprecating smile, Shi Zhongtai stopped talking, and the guide gradually changed from Shi Zhongtai to Tuesday.
"My lord, the wing room has arrived."
"Knock Knock"
"Come in."
"Squeak"
"Your Excellency, please."
Shi Zhongtai glanced at him angrily, and then walked in with lazy steps.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few hours, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhou's shelf to be a lot heavier!"
Zhou Kangren put down the brush in his hand and glanced at Shi Zhongtai, who was not out of shape and sat without sitting, "Master Shi's mouth is like a knife, it's really ruthless!" The words in his mouth were ruthless, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, "But the two-hour mountain road took nearly four hours in the hands of your master Zhongtai, and it really has you!" β
"Knowing that I have just recovered from a serious illness, you still take me up the mountain, are you not afraid of any accidents?"
Zhou Kangren walked to Shi Zhongtai and sat down, and glanced outside, "I'm very scared if you have an accident, but if you can't solve Mrs. Mingxiu's case, then I can't save you no matter how worried I am." After that, he added with a wicked smile, "I forgot, although I can't save you, isn't there another one in the palace?" β
"Fuck your uncle!"
scolded him angrily, but Shi Zhongtai didn't talk about going up the mountain again. However, seeing that Zhou Kangren was still laughing secretly, Shi Zhongtai was so angry that he had to drop a hammer on the table.
βDuangβ
"I'm hungry, I've climbed the mountain for a long time, and I can't eat a bite, right?"
"Hahahaha..."
Seeing Shi Zhongtai like this, Zhou Kangren couldn't help it, holding his stomach and patting his thighs and laughing. Shi Zhongtai's cheeks were red from laughter, but he couldn't say anything.
Niang Xipi, this little white-faced meal really has to be eaten, and you have to eat it if you don't eat it! Ma Madi, the next time I see that guy, I have to make it clear, otherwise what about Lao Tzu's reputation, she doesn't want to marry, then I can't follow and not marry!
"Childe, the master in the temple is here."
"Oh, good, good." After sorting out his emotions, Zhou Kangren ordered, "Let them come in." β
"Whoa"
The one who came in was a sister-in-law, who looked very delicate and lovely, with a slightly pointed face and a pair of big black eyes, but she was very good-looking. However, he wears a soap-gray hat on his head, which adds a bit of a refined appearance.
"The two donors are polite."
"I don't know why Master came?"
"When the abbot heard that the two benefactors were coming, he specially sent Qing Shui to make amends. In the past few days, the abbot has been repairing the customs behind closed doors, and he asked the two donors to forgive him for the inconsiderate hospitality. If the donor has any needs, just tell Uncle Yun Jing, and when Uncle Yun Jing is busy, it is the same with Qing Shui. β
Listening to this oriole-like voice, there was no need to wait for Zhou Kangren to speak, Shi Zhongtai preemptively said, "Little Master's name is Qing Shui?" β
