On the second day, Su Li's whole person almost fell apart, and at first she was counting seriously, but her mind was in a mess behind her, and she couldn't think about anything else at all, but she was tricked by Chu Huai'an.

Unsure of Yue Yan's safety, where did she have the heart to do anything else?

In fact, when Yue Yan was rescued in Feiying Village, Su Li knew about it from Chu Gua.

Su Li was forced to ask by Chu Huai'an for a while, and then couldn't help but confess Chu Gua.

On the second day, Su Li overslept unexpectedly, and when she woke up, it was bright outside, and Qibao Hou was next to her to help her massage and rub her waist carefully.

Su Li covered her face embarrassedly, and lay down for a while before getting up.

After washing up and having breakfast, the next person brought the little girl, Su Li teased the little girl for a while, suddenly recalled what happened last night, and turned her head to look at Qibao: "What about the Hou Ye and the prince?" ”

"Lord Hou took the prince to the temple outside the city early in the morning to offer incense."

Incense?

A tense nerve in Su Li's brain was touched, and she couldn't listen to what Qibao said later, so she rushed out with her sour body, snatched the horse from the stable and ran out of the city.

There are a lot of temples outside the city, but there is only one Jinyun Temple with the most incense, and Su Li often went there with her second sister to offer incense when she was young.

Chu Gua has an ability that is different from ordinary people, and it is impossible to know whether this ability is good or bad, Su Li has always been worried that others will know about this and will treat Chu Gua as a monster and demon.

Hearing that Chu Huai'an brought Chu Gua to the temple, Su Li subconsciously felt that he was going to be unfavorable to Chu Gua, not to mention directly killing Chu Gua to get rid of the future troubles, and he would also throw Chu Gua into the temple and let Chu Gua be a little monk.

How hard life is in this temple, how can a child who is growing up in Guagua stand it?

Su Li couldn't bear it just thinking about it, and quickly whipped all the way to the foot of Jinyun Temple Mountain, lifted the skirt and rushed up.

There are thousands of levels on the mountain road, and the steeper the slope is, the more strenuous it becomes, after the mark of the dead flower was taken back by Yingjiang, although the scar on Su Li's face did not appear again, but all the problems in the previous body have returned, and after giving birth to a child, I still lost a lot of vitality with a lot of tonic medicine.

After running up for more than a hundred steps, Su Li had to stop and gasp, and her legs were a little weak.

Seeing her like this, the old woman who came to worship the Buddha next to her frowned and shook her head: "This Buddha pays attention to sincerity and fate, and the girl is so impatient, even if she has climbed to the top of the mountain, I am afraid that she will not be able to seek the Buddha's fate." ”

The old woman's voice was neither loud nor small, but it woke up Su Li at once.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, and she broke the river sacrifice ceremony there in Lizhou, but now she has Chugua, but she has to shake her belief.

If there really are gods in this world......

Su Li knelt down on her knees and kowtowed reverently.

This worship reminded her of many years ago, Su Liangxing had a serious illness, at that time even the imperial doctor was helpless, let the family prepare for the future, Zhao cried bitterly, grandmother was also grief, excited to fall ill in bed, the three of them sisters served in front of the bed day and night, one day grandmother was sick and confused, and muttered that if the body is good, I am willing to go to Jinyun Temple to pray for Su Liangxing in three steps and one knock.

They took it seriously, secretly went out of the house at night, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Jinyun Temple, which was really three steps and one knock, all the way to the top of the mountain.

Su Li was still very young at that time, and remembered that the eldest sister and the second sister were very good, although the Zhao family occasionally made difficulties as a mother-in-law, but the eldest sister would secretly stuff delicious and fun food to her and the second sister in private.

When I knocked to the top of the mountain that day, the sky was already dawning, and the monks in the temple were shocked to find that they were kowtowing and bleeding.

When the abbot heard that they were asking for life and death, he shook his head and said the words 'life and death, wealth and wealth in the sky' and wanted to let them go back, but Su Bangyue knelt on the futon first to worship the Buddha.

"The Buddha is above, the little girl Su Bangyue is here today, and she is willing to exchange her ten-year life in exchange for her father's health!"

"The little girl Su Zhaoyue is also willing to exchange her ten-year life yuan for her father's health!"

Seeing that the eldest sister and the second sister were kneeling, Su Li also wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Su Zhaoyue: "Sister, don't kneel, everything is borne by me and the eldest sister, if something really happens to us in the future, we still need my sister to be filial to her father and grandmother." ”

At that time, they were all pure, not so much love and hate, and not so much jealousy.

Kneeling is really kneeling, and the head is really knocking, and every word of the oath is from the heart, without the slightest adulteration.

Although Su Li later learned that Su Liangxing's illness at that time was not as serious as they imagined, the coachman was actually deliberately arranged by the Zhao family, otherwise just the three of them would not be able to get out of the gate of Shangshu Mansion at all.

The monks of Jinyun Temple personally escorted them back to the city, and the eldest lady of Shangshufu climbed up to Jinyun Temple at a young age to pray for her father's well-being for her father, and the rumors of her filial piety moved the world for a while.

Su Liangxing miraculously got better, and the first emperor treated the eldest lady of Shangshufu differently and gave her the position of the crown prince's concubine.

Their filial piety is just a scene carefully planned by adults for power.

Su Li was ignorant at that time, but she still remembered that when the news of the first emperor's marriage came out, Su Wanyue cried at home several times.

She is the daughter of Shangshufu, and she has had her own pride since she was a child, and she can't tolerate deception, let alone what she wants to exchange for deception.

But the decree has been given, there are some things, she can't do it!

Thinking of many old things in the past, the more Su Li kowtowed, the more peaceful her heart became.

Whether it is her, the second sister and Su Bangyue, because she was born in this era, because she is a woman, from the very beginning, her fate is destined to be dominated by others.

The identity of the crown princess is noble, and the favor given to her by the emperor is also enviable, but no one has ever asked her if she wants it.

Chu Huai'an lives arbitrarily, what can give her is freedom, Chu Lingzhao was born as a prince, and what can be given to her is the grace that is the envy of thousands of people, she chose grace, but her heart has always longed for freedom.

From the current point of view, she is not wrong, the only mistake is that she should not turn her unwillingness into a vicious scheme to harm others.

Su Bangyue is dead, and all her faults should be wiped out.

Su Li knelt down and bowed sincerely: If there are really gods in this world, I sincerely hope that Guagua, Guagua, can grow up safely and happily.

Su Li stumbled all the way to the top of the mountain like many years ago, her forehead broke the skin, a little painful, and the sprinkling monk who was guarding the top of the mountain saw her like this, and shook her head helplessly and sighed: "All dust is vain, why bother obsessing......"

In the eyes of these monks, everything is empty, and sentient beings cannot understand the truth in it, so they will struggle in the sea of suffering.

"Amitabha." Su Li wiped the blood from her forehead and saluted the monk: "Master, I have come to find my husband and son." ”

"Donor, please come with the poor monk." After speaking, the monk led Su Li into the gate of the temple.

Jinyun Temple was given a golden plaque by the first emperor before, after the death of the first emperor, the Buddhist scriptures recited for seven days and seven nights by the monks guarding the body, and now ordinary people can't come here, so there are not many people in the temple.

Walking into the temple, the reassuring smell of incense came from all directions, Su Li unconsciously relaxed her body, and the sound of chanting came from the hall.

"The person the donor is looking for is in front, go."

The monk stopped, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for Su Li to go by himself, Su Li thanked him, and heard Chu Gua's laughter from the chanting.

He still doesn't know how many twists and turns he has experienced at a young age, he always likes to laugh, and Su Li can't help but smile.

Jinyun Temple incense is vigorous, there are dozens of monks chanting in the main hall, the abbot is still the one back then, wearing a red robe and a golden robe, sitting under the golden Buddha with kind eyebrows, extremely compassionate and benevolent.

Su Li stood quietly outside the door without making a sound, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Chu Huai'an sitting behind the abbot.

He wore a light gray regular dress today, and the clothes were plain and clean, without superfluous ornaments.

He has always been a believer in gods and Buddhas, but now he is sitting calmly in this hall, and he seems to have become the most devout believer.

Su Li's eyes were a little hot, and about a quarter of an hour later, a monk took Chu Gua out of the side hall, Su Li saw that the hair on the top of his head was shaved, and subconsciously took a step forward, and his eyes touched Chu Huai'an's back and stopped.

The monk handed Chu Gua to the abbot, who didn't know what to do, and grabbed the abbot's silver beard to play.

The abbot was not angry, holding Chu Gua and gently scribbling the scriptures, as if he was telling the Buddha all his life in detail.

I don't know how long I said this, but another monk brought a mahogany tray.

"Lord Chu."

The abbot called, Chu Huai'an got up and walked to the abbot's side, and pulled out a dagger from his waist, the dagger was shiny, illuminating Su Li at the door clearly, Chu Huai'an turned his head to look at Su Li.

Looking at each other, both of them could see the broken wound on each other's foreheads.

All the doubts in his heart turned into warm currents and poured into his heart, it turned out that he didn't regard Guagua as a demon, it turned out that he didn't want to hurt Guagua.

She should believe him, he was so good to her, how could he break his promise in this matter?

Su Li walked into the main hall, came to Chu Huai'an's side, and bowed to the abbot: "Excuse me the abbot, I am looking for my husband and my young son." ”

"What does the benefactor ask for?"

"Pray for the safety of my young son, and I will have no worries for my life!"

Su Li replied, her eyes were moist and calm, and Chu Huai'an grabbed her hand quietly.

The abbot nodded, showing a charitable smile: "These old men have seen many good people and believers, but it is the first time to see the two donors so heart-to-heart, and it is also a rare good fate." ”

The abbot sighed, and Chu Gua, who was held in his arms, also laughed stupidly.

Su Li smiled back and turned her head to look at Chu Huai'an: "Husband, what did you want to do just now?" ”

She rarely called him like this, Chu Huai'an's eyes changed color when he heard it, he turned his head to ignore her, raised his hand and cut a knife on his left index finger, and the red blood beads instantly gushed out and dripped into the small bowl on the tray next to him.

"What is this?"

Su Li asked in a somewhat nervous tone, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to help Chu Huai'an wrap the wound.

"This son is born with yin and yang, and is easily infiltrated by evil spirits, purified by the blood and Buddha water of his loved ones, which can protect his mind from evil influences."

After listening to the abbot's explanation, Su Li grabbed the dagger in Chu Huai'an's hand without hesitation, and also slashed on his left index finger.

The two drops of blood fell into the water, and the few drops that Chu Huai'an had dropped before were in a ball, like a five-petal flower.

The abbot recited a few words to the bowl of water, and then picked it up and fed it to Chu Gua.

After drinking, he put a string of Buddhist beads made of sandalwood on the tray on the hand of Chu Gua, the string of sandalwood looks a little old, and there is a bead in the middle that looks like jade and not jade, like stone and not stone, no matter how you look at it, it is not ordinary.

"This is the relic of the previous abbot after his death, but this son can be protected to grow up to the age of fifteen, after the age of fifteen, the two benefactors need to let him travel away from home alone, and do a good deed every day to repay the kindness of this relic."

"Alone?"

Su Li shouted, he was reluctant to get up before it was time to separate, and the abbot nodded solemnly: "This son is born different from others, the female benefactor can't always protect him by his side, and there are some things that he always needs to experience and experience to know what it's like." ”

The abbot spoke earnestly, and Su Li also knew that he was reasonable, so he could only nod and thank him: "Abbot Xie nodded." ”

"It's all Buddha's fate!"

The abbot sat down with his hands folded and continued to chant, and the other monks followed suit, as if Su Li and Chu Huai'an did not exist at all.

Su Li and Chu Huai'an thanked each other again, and then left with Chu Gua in their arms.

I don't know if the water has the effect of helping sleep, and Chu Gua fell asleep when he left the main hall, Su Li and Chu Huai'an walked side by side down the mountain, and no one spoke first.

When she walked to the fast mountainside, Su Li stopped and whispered: "Chu Huai'an!" ”

Chu Huai'an hugged Chu Gua and looked back at her.

"I heard Qibao say that you brought Guagua, thinking that you were going to hurt Guagua, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you like this."

Chu Huai'an stiffened his face and didn't speak, his expression was serious.

Su Li jumped up and hugged his neck, and softened her voice to be coquettish: "Husband, I was really wrong, don't you get angry with me, okay?" ”

“……”

"You worked so hard yesterday, my waist still hurts, don't worry about me, okay?"

Su Li blinked her eyes and flattered, stood on tiptoe and kissed the wound in the middle of Chu Huai'an's forehead.

She still has a wound on her forehead, and she makes this scoundrel appearance, where can Chu Huaian still care about her.

"I knew I had back pain and ran out?"

Chu Huai'an said with a straight face, his tone was already full of concern, Su Li frowned and covered her knees: "Oops! It hurts! After kneeling so much, the old knee injury must have recurred. ”

"I'll see!"

Chu Huai'an bent down to look at Su Li's legs, and Su Li took the opportunity to hold his neck and turn it on his back: "Don't look at it, husband, you carry me back, my feet won't hurt at all!" ”

“……”

After hesitating for a while, Chu Huaian raised his hand and patted Su Li's buttocks, three points helpless and seven points spoiled: "Don't take it as an example." ”

"I promise there will be no next time!"

Su Li lay on Chu Huai'an's back and swore firmly, Chu Huai'an didn't bother with him anymore, holding her with one hand and carrying Chu Gua down the mountain with the other.

"Husband, after you go back, you can teach Guagua to practice martial arts, in the future, he will walk the rivers and lakes alone, and he has no martial arts to defend himself, what if he is bullied?"

"Okay."

"You can also teach Yue'er a little martial arts, so that even if we are not there in the future, she will not be bullied."

"Okay."

"Why don't you think about it and just say yes? What if my mother objects? Yue'er is a girl's family, what should I do if I can't find my in-law's family after dancing with a knife and a gun? ”

"I can't find the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion to support her for a lifetime!"

Chu Huai'an's tone was full of anger, a little bit of gnashing of teeth, Su Li couldn't help laughing: "I just mentioned it casually, why are you so angry when Yue'er is looking for her mother-in-law?" ”

“……”

It was almost evening when I went down the mountain, the weather was getting cooler, and the sunset would dye the sky with a large area of brilliant sunset, with the help of the gentle evening breeze, Su Li leaned into Chu Huai'an's ear and whispered: "Husband, otherwise let's give Yue'er another brother, so that there will be two people to support her for us in the future." ”

"Okay."

Chu Huai'an replied habitually, and after going down a few steps, he suddenly paused: "It's not good." ”

"Why?"

Su Li was surprised, she originally thought that Chu Huai'an would agree to this matter.

"If I say it's not good, it's not good! I don't need to talk about it anymore! ”

Chu Huai'an sternly refused, carried Su Li down the mountain quickly, and after going back, he personally pressed Su Li to do wormwood fumigation on his knees, and massaged it again before stopping.

The news that the two of them went to Jinyun Temple to seek Buddha for Chu Gua soon reached the ears of Chu Liu, and Chu Liu was distressed and relieved, and finally completely dispelled their prejudice against Chu Gua.

Because of the injury on her head, Su Li was forced to stay at home to recuperate and couldn't go out, and on the second day, Zhang Zhizhi threw herself into Su Li's room with a pair of eyes that were swollen like walnuts, crying miserably, and for a moment, Su Li thought that Gu Zhi was drunk and disorderly, ruining the girl's innocence.

"Don't just cry, tell me what's going on, and I'll help you with advice."

Su Li rubbed her eyebrows and said, her brain hurt from crying.

Zhang Zhizhi cried breathlessly, looked at Su Li with tears in his eyes, and finally threw out a thunderclap: "Gu Zhi is going to get married!" ”

“……”？？

Gu Jiong wants to get married? With whom?

Su Li was stunned, Zhang Zhizhi opened the chatterbox, and complained vigorously: "He really has no conscience, I squatted in prison for him, I was afraid of him, he was good, and when I was wrongfully imprisoned, I secretly went to order a wedding robe!" How could there be such a ruthless man as him in this world! ”

"Unjustly imprisoned? What crime have you committed? ”

Su Li couldn't keep up with her thinking, and Zhang Zhizhi was even more aggrieved when she heard it: "It's not the one surnamed Zhao, I'll testify, he said that I trespassed on Dali Temple, so he locked me up!" As a result, I just heard those prison bosses talk to each other, saying that he is simply a fake public servant, and he thinks I am noisy, and I am afraid that I will annoy him! ”

Su Li: "......"

This is kind of like his style.

Silently stuffed Zhang Zhizhi's heart, Su Li returned to the topic: "You said that Gu Zhi is going to get married, who is the bride?" ”

It's okay that Su Li didn't ask this, but when she asked, Zhang Zhizhi collapsed again.

"Ah Li, why don't you tell me that Gu Ji likes Lord Renxian? Woo woo, now the whole city is watching my jokes, how am I going to go out to meet people in the future!! Wow~~"

"You mean that Gu Bing is going to marry Lord Renxian?"

Su Li grabbed Zhang Zhizhi's arm, her voice couldn't help but rise, and she let out a trace of excitement, but Zhang Zhizhi closed her voice instead, only looking at Su Li and shedding tears: "Ah Li, you really know." ”

"I know, but I don't know much, and even if I told you beforehand, would you give up easily?"

At that time, the situation of Gu Zhi and Yue Yan was unknown, and she rashly dissuaded Zhang Zhizhi, and she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, so it was better to just go with the flow.

Zhang Zhizhi was speechless, although Su Li didn't persuade her, but Wen Ling didn't know how many times she had persuaded her bitterly, how could she have listened to half a word?

"But he can't turn his head and marry someone else, isn't this a stab in my heart?"

She has always been very aggressive, this time she is really sad, Su Li also knew that she was serious, and took a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears: "People like him, where do you know how to care about other people's feelings, it's better if you put it down earlier." ”

Zhang Zhizhi held a handkerchief and snorted: "I thought he wouldn't like me, but I didn't expect his sweetheart to be alive, he would be so gentle to feed his beloved, and he would be so careful to prepare for the wedding for his beloved, he was cold to everyone, but in front of his beloved, he was so gentle that he couldn't speak!" ”

It's often this gap that hurts the most.

Su Li has experienced it, so she understands Zhang Zhizhi's current feelings better than others.

"Isn't his dedication to one person just proves that you have a good eye and don't love the wrong person?"

"But the person he loves is not me!"

"Then you don't want to continue to like him, it's good to change someone else."

“……”

Zhang Zhizhi didn't know how to refute, so he held back for a while and cried again: "Ah Li, I can't talk about you, but I've ruined my reputation now, who will like me, my father and mother will definitely find a crooked melon and split jujube to marry me......"

When she cried, she became childish, and Su Li was angry and funny: "What kind of person are you ruining your reputation?" At the beginning, I was kidnapped by mountain bandits and lost my innocence, and I was poked in the backbone and scolded by the people of the whole city, but now I am not doing well? ”

"Yes...... But you and Hou Ye are childhood sweethearts, and Hou Ye really loves you. "She doesn't have such an affectionate bamboo horse.

"This has nothing to do with childhood sweethearts, I want to tell you, you are a good girl, you must meet someone who is very sincere to you, and doesn't mind what kind of reputation you have and what kind of background you have, that kind of person is worthy of you and his life, you know?"

"Ah Li, did you survive those days by saying this?"

"It's not." Su Li shook her head: "I only believed this sentence after marrying Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Zhizhi: "......"

Why didn't I feel comforted, but instead I was hit with a critical blow?

"Madame, ma'am!" Qibao ran in from outside in a panic: "Your Majesty wants to kill Master Gu!" ”

"Which Lord Gu?"

"It's Lord Gu Ji, Master Hou and General Lu have already rushed into the palace!" Qibao said anxiously, Su Li was about to rush out subconsciously, walked to the door and turned his head to look at Qibao: "Who did you listen to this news?" ”

In this case, since Chu Huai'an entered the palace alone, he would never let Qibao send a message to worry her!
