Several young people in the village rushed to hear the news, and one of them went to invite Lang Zhong outside the village, and the others took turns to carry Huineng back to Li Xiang's house.

Lang Zhong, who arrived in time, took the pulse for Huineng and said that it didn't matter, after all, it was indirect poisoning, and a few doses of medicine would be fine. However, three days later, Huineng was still unconscious, unconscious like a dead man.

Xiaolan had recovered, and she sat on the edge of Huineng's bed, weeping as she wiped his swollen black and purple lips.

Xiaolan's father, Li Xueru, was originally a rather personable gentleman, but at this time he was pacing back and forth restlessly. He said to himself: "How is this good, it's been a day, and after pouring so many medicines, why doesn't it work?" ”

Xiaolan burst into tears. Li Xueru said: "He is a great benefactor of our family, if he dies to save us, how can he be worthy of others......"

Xiaolan cried out loud "wow". She ran to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging in the hall, and saw Ya Niang kowtowing and kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, praying loudly in her mouth.

Xiaolan also followed her mother, knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, folded her hands, kowtowed, and prayed sincerely: "Guanyin Bodhisattva with great compassion and great compassion to save suffering, you are everywhere, and your magic power is boundless." Have mercy on me, little woman, and save my benefactor. As long as my life-saving benefactor comes back to life, I, Li Lan, would like to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake again! Bodhisattva, let me bear the sins I created in my previous life, don't burden others, this is a very good person......"

In the murmuring of Xiaolan and her mother, Chen, one of Hui Neng's little fingers moved slightly, and her eyelids twitched to open them. Li Xueru was overjoyed and shouted: "Thank God, the benefactor is awake!" Finally woke up! Huineng, Huineng! ”

Huineng's eyes opened a slit slightly, and he groaned. Xiaolan chanted "Amitabha", and bowed down in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After a few days, Huineng was finally able to get out of bed. Li Xueru helped Huineng, who was still weak, to sit on the chair and said, "Huineng, the little girl's life was saved by you, please accept Xueru's worship." ”

Huineng hurriedly grabbed Li Xueru, who was about to kneel: "Uncle Li, what are you doing here?" Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and human beings have compassion. I'm sure you'll do the same with me. ”

Li Xueru said: "No matter what, I still admire your bodhisattva heart of sacrificing yourself to save others. What's more, you saved my little girl, I ......"

Huineng interrupted him and said earnestly: "Uncle Li, this is really nothing, in life, if you don't even help your own kind, is it still a human being!" ”

Li Xueru held Huineng's hand and said, "Okay, don't thank you for your great kindness." Huineng, you are the little girl's life-saving benefactor, your great kindness, I will definitely want to repay it.

Li Xiang made tea, brought it up, and gave Huineng a salute to tea: "Benefactor, please drink tea." Huineng hurriedly returned the salute: "I don't dare to have Fourth Sister Lao." ”

Li Xueru laughed and said, "Don't be polite." Since Hui Neng calls you the fourth sister, Ya Xiang, you call Hui Neng your younger brother, and Alan, you call Hui Neng your elder brother. ”

Li Xiang happily called out to Huineng: "Brother, please drink tea." ”

Xiaolan's face was slightly red, and she snorted, "Brother Huineng, please take a seat." That day, if you hadn't rescued me, I would ......"

"Nothing. I happened to be walking by the river and happened to catch up. ”

Li Xueru joked: "Yes, coincidence is providence." This is probably fate, natural fate. ”

Xiaolan and Huineng were a little embarrassed by Li Xueru. Huineng bowed his head and ate tea. Xiaolan touched the corner of her clothes and changed the topic: "Is your body okay?" ”

Huineng said, "Okay, all right." ”

Li Xiang said: "If you are not good, my little sister will be completely finished!" ”

Huineng asked in surprise: "Sister Xiaolan, the snake venom on your feet has not been eliminated?" ”

Li Xiang said: "The snake venom is all sucked out by you, Brother Huineng." What I'm talking about is that during the whole day when you were in a poisoning coma, my little sister didn't eat or sleep, and stayed by your side all the time, constantly giving you cold compresses and wipings. If you wake up a few days later, she will not die of exhaustion, but she will have to cry to death. ”

Huineng stood up and said, "Thank you Sister Xiaolan for taking care of you during her illness." ”

Xiaolan's face was flushed, and she muttered in a low voice: "Don't listen to the fourth sister's nonsense." ”

"Am I talking nonsense? Whose eyes weep like red grapes? ”

Xiaolan was embarrassed and ran out of the living room in a panic. She came to the small pool in the courtyard and sat facing the water. The pool is as calm as a mirror, and a budding lotus is slim. Xiaolan's beautiful face is reflected on the water, pure, shy, and beautiful, comparable to flowers.

The human face and the lotus flower contrast with each other: the flower increases the human face and is three points white, and the person dyes the lotus flower a little ashamed. The wind is amorous.

Xiaolan seemed to sink into some kind of fantasy, and her eyes revealed a hazy longing, and her mind and body were intoxicated with great happiness...... A small bird flies through the air, leaving behind a string of melodious chirps. Xiaolan woke up from her dream, ashamed, and covered her red cheeks with her hands. Her hand slowly moved away, and the innocent face reflected on the water was still delicately red. She smiled silently and reached out to stir up the world in the water.

She walked into the kitchen, carrying a plate of fruit, and crept down the corridor to the door of the living room. In the living room, Daddy was chatting with Huineng.

Li Xueru and Huineng hit it off at first sight and chatted very speculatively. Li Xueru said with emotion: "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different. Oh, yes, we have a monk in our family, too! My sister became a nun in Zhuye Nunnery, not far from the village, and her name is weird, what is the name of the Dharma Hui Nun. ”

Huineng said: "In Buddhism, virtue is infinite, including endless virtue. It symbolizes the vastness and boundlessness of true Buddha-nature. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the teachings of Buddha nature."

Huineng said respectfully: "Where, I just listened to my mother say some Dharma, and knew some terms and stories. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely ask Master Fahui for teachings. ”

Li Xueru said: "My sister also often lectures to me. However, I still don't understand what is the use of studying Buddhism. ”

"Uncle Li, you said that you are not studying to govern the country and level the world, nor do you intend to pursue a glorious and wealthy career. So, excuse me, what do you still read these books all day long? ”

Huineng said as she pointed to an open book on the table. This is a book of "Book of Rites", and the opening chapter is precisely the chapter of "University".

Li Xueru said proudly: "Of course it works!" Let's talk about this "University", the article says: The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is determination, and then there is calmness...... Forget it, you haven't been to the school, and you won't understand if you say it. ”

Unexpectedly, Huineng said very sensitively: "I haven't entered the school, but I seem to feel something in these words you just read." ”

Li Xueru didn't believe it: "You can understand the Book of Rites. University"? You know, this is a big article about governing the country and leveling the world! Okay, I'll say a few more words, and you can hear what it means. 'Knowing and then there is certainty, being fixed and then being quiet, being quiet and then being at peace, being at peace and then being able to consider, and then being able to get after thinking'. ”

Li Xueru put down the book and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
