31 Homesickness

The night is late, the low chirping of insects outside the window has gradually faded, Ding Si has never been sleepy lying on the bed, and the note he got from Du Qiuniang comes to mind from time to time, but he is puzzled, according to Du Qiuniang, the name drawn on this note should be a person's name, but what is this name? Thinking of later, Ding Si simply got up with his clothes lightly, lit the oil lamp, took out the paper again by the light, looked over and over, but couldn't see anything, was disappointed, suddenly heard a gentle knock on the window outside, Ding Si hurriedly put away the note, opened the window lightly, and saw Ni Hongshang blinking and smiling at him.

Without waiting for Ding Si to speak, Ni Hongshang put her index finger to her mouth, made a "shhh

Ding Si thought about it for a while, blew out the oil lamp, tilted his body slightly, and jumped out of the window.

The moonlight in the courtyard was like water, the red clothes were dressed in black, the hair was loosely pulled up, and a pretty face was listless, and he lowered his voice to Ding Si and said, "Ding Zhu, I'm sneaking out to chat with you again, you won't think I'm annoying, right?" ”

Ding Si only felt that the red dress was innocent, and he was not disgusted in his heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "Where will it be, Miss Ni has just arrived in the capital, it is inevitable that some places will not be able to adapt, since you are willing to find me, you will treat me as a friend, this is my honor, how can I get bored?" ”

Hongshang was overjoyed when she heard this, and couldn't help shouting: "Ding Zhuku, you are really a good person." ”

Ding Si smiled slightly, saw the bamboo bench under the grape trellis in the courtyard, walked over in a few steps, flicked it a few times, and motioned for Hongshang to sit down.

The two sat down, Hongshang looked up at the moonlight leaking from the grape trellis, and sighed softly: "Although the capital is lively, I still think Siling Mountain is good." ”

Ding Si knew that she was homesick, so he didn't answer, just listened to her quietly.

Hongshang really said to himself: "When we were in Siling Mountain, every night when we couldn't sleep, Baiyi and I would sneak out to Jingyue Creek to watch the fish, do you know that the fish also have to sleep at night, but when I chatted with Baiyi, they would wake up and spin dizzily, in Siling Mountain, we also raised a dog, Baiyi and I secretly raised, this time we came in a hurry, entrusted it to Uncle Zhang, I don't know how it is now......"

The breeze was blowing, there was a burst of flowers, Ding Si listened to the girl whispering softly, only to feel that his heart gradually calmed down.

Hongshang was completely intoxicated with homesickness, and after talking for a while, he sighed softly and said, "But Baiyi told me that since we are the Holy Maidens of the Red Lotus Sect, we have our own responsibilities, and we can't do whatever we want. ”

Ding Si hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice, "Miss Ni, hasn't the white clothes come back yet?" ”

Hongshang shook her head and said, "No, that's why I'm extremely bored." Although the Holy Aunt and the Sect Master were very kind to me, I always felt uncomfortable. Everyone in the church seemed to be busy, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to. After a pause, he said, "But the Duan Hall Master in the sect is a warm-hearted person, and every time he sees me, he talks for a long time. ”

Ding Si thought for a while, and then asked, "What did the white clothes do?" ”

Hongshang shook her head again: "I don't know, I heard that it is a very important matter, Baiyi didn't tell me, just asked me to take care of myself, she is done and will be back soon." But I think this is very mysterious, and I don't know if Bai Yi will be in danger. ”

Ding Si heard her say this, but his heart was in a hurry, and before he could ask, he saw Hongshang turn his head and look at him and said, "Ding Zhu, I see that you haven't rested so late, do you have any troubles?" I've been nagging you for so long, and I feel much better, if you have troubles, you might as well say it. ”

Ding Si looked at Hongshang's sincere eyes, and said slowly at the moment: "There is a case, we have to investigate it secretly, there is a person's name drawn on the paper, this name is very important to us, but I can't guess what this name is." ”

Hongshang sighed again and said, "Alas, it's a pity, if Baiyi is here, it will definitely help you." In Siling Mountain, she understood many things that others didn't understand. ”

Ding Si couldn't help asking, "Is Bai Yi very smart?" ”

Hongshang nodded: "Yes, Baiyi is very smart, although she doesn't like to talk, she is a very good person, she has taken good care of me since she was a child, and she is serious in her work, and Si Lingshan likes her from all ages." ”

The moonlight was bright, the night breeze was gentle, and the two chatted until the end, they both felt that the irritability in their hearts gradually faded, and their hearts were a lot more peaceful. ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up hurriedly, turned his body vertically, and disappeared into the night with a few jumps.

Ding Si saw her hurrying away, only felt like he was in a dream, he tiptoed into the window again, only to feel sleepy, and fell asleep after a while.

When he got up the next day, Ding Si saw that the time was not early, and was in a hurry to go to the yamen, when he saw his father walk into the room, and he was wondering why his father did not go to the yamen, and he heard his father say to himself: "Si'er, you don't have to go to the yamen today, I will go and tell Li Cheng that you accompanied your mother to Hongyuan Temple." ”

Ding Si thought for a while, and suddenly realized, it turned out that today is June 19th, which is the day of the enlightenment of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the folk, it is said that today's chanting Buddha, chanting, holding mantras, and releasing the Yin virtue accumulated by the birth is several times better than in the past, and the mother will go to the Hongyuan Temple every day to worship incense. He immediately agreed, but thought again: It's better to make an appointment with Xiong Tianlei, he has been tired recently, and he is at home alone, so he can also relax if he makes an appointment.

When his father walked back, he expressed his thoughts to his mother, Mrs. Ding agreed, Ding Si made an appointment with Xiong Tianlei, and the group rushed to Hongyuan Temple.

Hongyuan Temple is crowded with people, it is much more lively than in the past, Ding Si and Xiong Tianlei hugged Mrs. Ding on both sides, and knelt down in the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Ding Si looked at the solemn statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, smiled with flowers, and said secretly in his heart: If Guanyin Bodhisattva has a miracle, he will teach all those who do evil to be able to subdue the Fa, and return this Lang Lang Qiankun to justice. Thinking about Zheng Qiaoniang in a moment, her eyes were a little sour, and she hurriedly lowered her head and bowed sincerely. After getting up, he looked at Xiong Tianlei beside his mother, who also looked pious, folded his hands, and chanted words in his mouth, and couldn't help but put his eyes on the Buddha statue again, and saw Guanyin Bodhisattva lifelike, with a compassionate look on his face.
