The thatched hut surrounded by fresh air and mountains is simple and quiet, and occasionally there are one or two "chirping" sounds of small birds, which cut through the quiet sky, just like the cheers of enthusiastic mountain people opening their warm arms to welcome Huineng's mother and son into the mountain to live in seclusion.

The sunlight shone through the layers of branches and leaves of the big tree next to the hut, casting a gently swaying halo on the ground. Birds fly around the trees, chasing each other and singing beautiful songs.

Huineng and his mother weeded and caught insects in the vegetable field in front of the grass shed.

The two monkeys are now good friends with Huineng's mother and son, who are unhappy if they don't see each other for a day. After foraging from the mountains, they climb the big trees next to the tea fields and jump around.

After being busy for a while, Huineng and Li sat in front of the grass hut to rest, and the two monkeys were playing around them.

At the turn of the path, two figures suddenly appeared.

Liang Yaofu was followed by a middle-aged man.

"Uncle Yaofu, you're here." Huineng said softly and greeted him.

Liang Yaofu also saluted: "Ah Neng, aunt, hello! ”

After Liang Yaofu said hello, he pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced Huineng: "Ah Neng, I will introduce a friend to you." This is called Zhu Deyi. ”

"Zhu Deyi?" Huineng felt that the name was a little familiar, and was playful: "Good wishes...... Good luck ......"

Liang Yaofu said bluntly: "Zhu Deyi is Zhu Deren's younger brother who used to bet with me in the market town that 'which is bigger, mango or longan'. ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Deren's name, Huineng's brows furrowed.

Seeing Huineng's expression, Liang Yaofu deduced his thoughts and made his words clear: "Although he and Zhu Deren are two biological brothers, their temperaments are completely different. He had a problem that he couldn't solve, and he knew that you had solved my problem that day with your wisdom, so he came to me to see if you could do him a favor. ”

Huineng asked Zhu Deyi, "What do you want me to help you?" ”

"Alas!" Zhu Deyi sighed helplessly, "I don't know my heart. This matter has to do with my brother Deren. ”

"Ah, it's this Zhu Deren again?!" Huineng said to Zhu Deyi, "What happened to you and your brother?" ”

"You listen to me," Zhu Deyi told Huineng in detail about the cause and effect of this incident.

It turned out that Zhu Deyi's father divided the family property before he died in his seventies, two big houses, and one for each of the two brothers. The four jars of silver he had saved were divided into two parts, one for each of his sons, so Zhu Deyi also received two jars of silver. A few months ago, the old lady of the Zhu family proposed to Zhu Deyi, but a tornado blew and overturned the roof of Zhu Deyi's house, and a lot of tiles were blown away. In order to make it easier to repair the house, Zhu Deyi sealed the two jars of silver that his father had divided and handed them over to his brother Zhu Deren for temporary safekeeping, and then retrieved them after the house was repaired. After more than a month, Zhu Deyi's house was repaired. He and his mother went to Zhu Deren's place to retrieve the two clay pots, and prepared to take some dowry gifts for the woman. But when he took it back, he felt that it was much lighter than before, and he was suspicious, and when he opened the seal, the snow-white silver inside was gone, only a pile of stones the size of a fist. Obviously, Zhu Deren replaced Zhu Deyi's two jars of silver with stones. Zhu Deyi was angry, and asked Zhu Deren to reason with him and ask him to return the two jars of silver.

Huineng: "Are you sure those two clay pots are filled with silver?" ”

Zhu Deyi's tone was very affirmative: "How can I remember wrong? My mother and father put it in with their own hands, and it can't be faked. My mother can testify to this on the spot. ”

Huineng: "Since your mother personally came forward to testify, how can that Zhu Deren deny it?!" ”

Zhu Deyi: "According to common sense, he should be undeniable. But the fallacies he cites make it difficult to refute him. ”

Huineng: "What kind of fallacy is he citing?" ”

Zhu Deyi waved his hands and said angrily: "My brother Deren said that when he gave him the two clay pots, it was indeed silver, but he didn't know how the silver inside turned into stone. ”

Huineng: "Silver can turn into stone, this is a strange thing that I have never heard of!" ”

Zhu Deyi: "When I questioned my brother Deren that day, he pointed to the sun and white clouds in the sky and replied, saying that things in the world are changing all the time, and the sun in the morning is in the east, and in the evening it becomes west. The white clouds in the sky are fine now, and when the wind comes, they will be blown away and become without a trace. ”

Huineng thought of Liang Yaofu's bet in the past from the other party's story, and was quite touched: "This Zhu Deren has a lot of, and a lot of crooked reasoning will come out of his mouth." ”

Zhu Deyi: "So, people from all over the country are usually afraid of dealing with him." ”

Huineng said to Zhu Deyi: "Since you know that he is such a person, why didn't you raise your vigilance at that time?" ”

Zhu Deyi beat his head with remorse: "At that time, even the gate of my house was blown down. During the repairs, my mother told me to take the two jars of silver to my brother for safekeeping, so that it would be safer at night. I think that I and Deren are compatriots, and my mother was present to testify. I didn't expect him to make such a despicable crosshand. ”

Huineng: "Won't your mother come forward to administer justice for you?" ”

Zhu Deyi was very helpless when he spoke: "My mother knew that these silver were related to my life, and scolded my brother Deren in front of me and asked him to return the two jars of silver to me, but Deren and his wife both denied it, saying that they had never touched the contents of the jars, and they returned the two jars to me without moving." ”

"Ah, the six relatives don't recognize it, and they value money more than flesh and blood, it's really too much." After listening to Zhu Deyi's speech, Huineng thought for a while and asked, "Didn't there be a respected township chief last time in the market town?" Why don't you come to him? ”

Zhu Deyi said: "I also went to the village chief, and when he heard my story, he immediately went to my house and rebuked my brother Deren, telling him to value the friendship of his brothers, but my brother Deren and his sister-in-law did not listen to it, and flatly denied that they had defrauded the silver, and pointed to the two clay pots, saying that he did not know how the silver turned into stone. ”

Zhu Deyi: "The township chief went out of the gate and told me privately that he had no way to subdue my brother Deren. ”

Huineng: "It's really no wonder that the township chief. ”

Zhu Deyi: "I heard people say that last time Brother Yaofu and my brother Deren made a bet in the market town, my brother won 400 Dougu by my brother's tricks, and he was almost bankrupt, but fortunately, you thought of a good way for Brother Yaofu and solved the crisis for him, so this time I came to you." ”

Liang Yaofu said to Huineng: "Deyi is an honest man, Ah Neng, if you can help, help him." ”

Zhu Deyi said with a pleading voice: "I originally planned to keep these two jars of silver for three purposes, one is to solve my life's major affairs, the second is to support my mother, and the third is to open a small grocery store, so that I will have a basic source for my life in the future." ”

Huineng: "It seems that those two jars of silver are indeed very important to you. ”

Zhu Deyi pleaded: "You must help me no matter what, and get back the two jars of silver from my brother Deren." I will thank you heavily. ”

Huineng waved his hand: "Since I can help you, you must not mention any reward." ”

Originally, now it was Huineng who took over the robes and golden bowls of the five ancestors, and hid in the mountains and wilderness during the refuge, and should not show his face. But he always has a kind to others, for others to eliminate disasters of great compassion, plus the hunt for him Sha Danju, blind head Han and other Dongchan Temple monks have left Xinzhou Longshan to return to the north, and claimed that the direction of the pursuit will be led to Jiangxi and other places, it is estimated that the new killer will not come back so soon, so, Hui Neng said to Zhu Deyi: "In this way, I will go to your house now, talk to your mother, see the situation on the ground, and see if you can come up with a good way." ”

"Okay, come with me." After wishing for righteousness, he took Huineng out of the grass hut and headed towards his house. I didn't want to meet Liang Yulian and Osmanthus on the way.
