As he spoke, he told the middle-aged woman sitting on the stone steps about what happened and saw in the courtyard where he returned after lunch and continued to be busy cleaning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As he continued to clean the courtyard, the bearded uncle who was in charge of the house walked into the courtyard with a strange man wearing something strange on his head that covered his face and could not see what he looked like.

He was accompanied by three senior brothers in the house. Each of them carried a number of things in his hands, or in his hands, or on his back. And when Uncle Zhai and the strange man walked into the courtyard house. The three senior brothers who came to the courtyard later also walked towards the house in unison.

But before the three of them could enter the house, Uncle Gong came out with the strange man again. This came out just in time, so that the three senior brothers who just wanted to enter the house were blocked out. As a result, the last one, who gave them grilled fish to eat at noon, stopped without paying attention to the senior brother in front of him, and almost crashed into the senior brother in front of him. Although he didn't hit it, he couldn't stand firm because he stopped in a hurry, and he almost fell to the ground with something on his back in the middle of the shake.

is still quick with his eyes, and when he sees the senior brother who is walking at the end, he is unsteady and is about to fall. hurriedly threw down the broom in his hand and stepped forward to help. This did not let the unsteady senior brother fall to the ground.

But Senior Brother Qishe's shaking that didn't stand firm made him shake out an oiled paper bag from the basket on his back. Seeing that the oil-paper bag had fallen to the ground, he picked it up from the ground and handed it to the dropped-off brother. What I don't want is... The strange man who was wearing a strange thing and couldn't see it suddenly spoke...

The man's voice was not loud, but it was nice. He, let himself take the bag, the thing that had just fallen to the ground. Although he wanted to refuse, but in the end, he still dropped something, and under the hint of Senior Brother Qishe, he silently accepted the thing.

When he finished cleaning the yard, the three senior brothers and the bearded uncle were still busy working back and forth in the yard. Either they come out of the house, or they go into the house again, or they go out of the courtyard and go back into the courtyard.

And the strange man who wore a strange thing on his head and could not see his face was always very leisurely, sitting alone on a stone pier in the courtyard, watching them go about and go in front of him. And in his hand he is holding a very strange and beautiful little green stick...

It wasn't until he walked out of the yard that he dared to sneak up on the oil paper bag that had just fallen to the ground and was given to him by the strange man. Only at the moment of opening, a sweet breath wafted out of the bag. Looking at the appetizing food in the oiled paper, I don't know what it is. Then he took a piece of it and ate it into his mouth.

His first reaction when he ate it was in his mouth was to think of the kind of thing called dim sum that his aunt had eaten for him when he first met him. But it's also delicious, and it's obviously not a snack. It's like fruit on a tree... But he didn't know what the fruit was. I just know that this is sweet in the mouth, with a strong smell of tree fruit.

But he only ate one piece and didn't touch it again. Instead, he re-wrapped the oiled paper bag and stuffed it back into his arms. Whether it is with the senior brother Nianlai, or the senior brothers who came with him, he will come back together. Or go back with Senior Brother Nianlai, in the small courtyard where they live. He never mentioned to his brother that the bag that the strange man gave him was a delicious thing but he didn't know what it was.

It's not that he deliberately hides it from his senior brother. It's just that he wants to take this bag of delicious food to his aunt who is waiting for him in the stele forest in the back mountain. Because his aunt was very good to him, not only did she help him with his cleaning, but also brought him chickens to eat from time to time.

"What do you say... There's something strange about that man... However, since the man was living in a house. I think it must have been in the temple, and I did something wrong before I was locked up in the house. ”

Listening to Yaozu's slow talk, I saw the description of the man who wore something strange on his head and couldn't see his appearance. The middle-aged woman also knew from Yaozu's words why Yaozu came today and the reason why she was so late. Thus I couldn't help but guess at the curiosity of the person who gave Yaozu and this bag of fruit.

Although she came to the monastery since she was a child, she never left this place. In this huge temple group, the farthest place to go is the forest of steles that few people come to in the back mountain. And this was also secretly brought by herself. If someone finds out, I am afraid that they will be punished.

But after all, she also came to the monastery to live for many years. More or less, you can know about the surroundings of the temple from many aspects. And the ape cry that Yaozu said is the place where she knows that the monks who are imprisoned in this temple and have committed sins are imprisoned.

Judging from what Yaozu just said, the man is going to live in the courtyard of the house. Since he is not a monk who guards the house, he can only be a sinful monk who is imprisoned in the house. But there was one thing she couldn't figure out... Since that man is already guilty.

Why do you still bring fruit points? Even if this sin monk was a person of considerable status in the monastery. But when he entered the place where he was imprisoned, I am afraid that no one would bring such a thing. And...

"I, I don't, don't know. That, that person is, is it not closed, locked in, there. But, but I, I look, watch, that, there, the big, bearded uncle. Follow, with the three senior brothers. Yes, to that person, polite model, appearance. That, the man, too, doesn't look like he's been, he's locked up there. ”

After listening to the middle-aged woman's guess, Yaozu also said what he thought. In fact, he also had his own guesses about the strange man who couldn't see his appearance. Although he had also wondered if the man would be locked up in the yard that he cleaned.

But when he saw the busy back and forth in the courtyard, the bearded uncle and the three senior brothers, who were not diligent in and out. And the weirdo who sat on the side like no one else, watching the bearded uncle and the brothers busy. He dismissed the man's suspicion that he was locked up in the courtyard.

After all, he was before coming to this third home. The last days of his stay in the second house were spent in a dark house. There he learned about the death of his second uncle from his master. Even the master, who is usually very good to him, changed his name from Pestle Foot to Master Yaozu for him. He also died in the house after seeing the man who came to talk to him, the man who had sent him to this third house.

Yaozu, who had been imprisoned in the house, because of everything he had experienced, also concluded that the strange man was definitely not a sin monk who was imprisoned in the house. But for no reason, living in such a place where people are detained... Yaozu was still puzzled.

"Auntie, auntie. You, why, why don't you eat? ”

Yao saw that the middle-aged woman was always holding it, and she didn't pick up the bag of delicious things in her hand and eat it. Then he urged the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, but then reached out and pulled Yaozu: "Come!" Sit down and eat together! Before my aunt came, she had eaten enough. This bag of fruit snacks, my aunt can't eat it herself. ”

As the middle-aged woman greeted, Yaozu, who was also sitting on the stone steps, shook the egg in his hand and said, "I, I'll eat this first, this first." Auntie, aunt, too, hurry up, eat quickly! This, this thing, but, it's delicious! ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and picked up a fruit point from the oiled paper bag and handed it to Yaozu. Yaozu shook his head and refused: "Auntie, aunt first, eat first." I, I'll eat again. ”

Seeing that Yaozu was very serious, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but feel a warm heart. So he smiled and said to Yaozu: "Okay ~ good ~ good ~ Then, aunt you have one ~ This is always okay, right?" ~”

After eating the fruit point that was handed to Yaozu. The middle-aged woman handed the oiled paper bag in her hand to Yaozu again. Seeing that the middle-aged woman had eaten the fruit, Yao Zu reached out from the oiled paper bag and picked it up and ate it into his mouth.

When the two of them ate one by one, the fruit in the oil paper bag, the sky gradually became completely dark. Only a slight touch of the sky was left, as if it was still struggling and didn't want to disappear. The two of them are big and small, but they also talk to each other from time to time, but they are not leisurely.

Yaozu, who was sitting on the stone steps eating fruit snacks, looked at the faint halo that finally disappeared at the edge of the sky. In his heart, he only felt that he really wished that time could stop at this moment, so that he could stay in the forest for a while longer. But he also knew that it was dark and he couldn't stay in the woods any longer.

If you let the senior brother be in the yard and wait until you don't see you go back, maybe you will find the forest. If you let my brother see himself, the secret in the woods...

"I, I want, I'm going back..."

"Huh? I haven't finished this bag of fruit snacks yet. ”

When the middle-aged woman heard that Yaozu was leaving, she was also a little reluctant in her heart. Looking at the uneaten fruit on the stone steps, the bag was still uneaten. So I want to keep Yaozu and let him finish the fruit before leaving.

Yaozu shook helplessly, and said with his little head: "No, it won't work." I, I promised, brother. Yes, early, go back early. Division, senior brother now, now. Yes, it should be there, waiting, waiting for me to go back, go back, eat, eat. ”

Listening to Yaozu's answer, the middle-aged woman nodded slightly. Immediately, the fruit that had not been eaten was re-wrapped and handed to Yaozu.

But where is Yaozu willing to take it? Seeing that the middle-aged woman wanted to return the uneaten fruit points to herself. When even shook his head and refused: "I, I don't, don't." This, this is, give, for my aunt. Auntie, aunt, you, you keep it for yourself, keep it for food. I, I'm gone! ”

Yaozu said but didn't wait for the middle-aged woman to answer, so he got up and ran in the direction he came. Looking at Yaozu who was gradually running away, the middle-aged woman smiled faintly: "Silly foot..."

Immediately, she carefully put the remaining fruit points from the bag that Yaozu gave her into her arms.
