Chapter Thirty-Seven: Two Visits to the Thatched House

The weather in late July is still hot, but as soon as the rain falls, a cool breeze will follow, and there will be a burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness.

Zhang Yuan saw that the rain was dripping and unhurried, it seemed that he would have to wait for a while, and he didn't want to delay it any longer, so he and Zhang Cao went to Dashan Temple with an umbrella.

About five miles from Zhang Yuan's house to Dashan Temple, except for a section of bluestone road, the others are sandy dirt roads, the rain has not been long in coming, the dirt road has not yet begun to be muddy, I am afraid that the road is slippery and difficult to walk when I come back, Zhang Cao and Zhang Yuan wear white leather boots, Wuling They are straw shoes, Zhang Yuan is his own umbrella, Zhang Cao, just walking, the healthy servant stretched out his arm to play an umbrella for him, and he only wore a bamboo hat to cover the rain.

Zhang Cao asked, "Jie Zi, how do you say we should fix that Yao lawsuit?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Yao Litigation Stick has not changed his reputation, it is not good to rectify him in a grand manner, you have to use strange soldiers, first inquire about Yao Litigation Stick's habits, as well as the evil things he has done before, and the people he has offended, as long as it is about him, the more you know, the better." ”

Zhang Cao comprehended: "I understand, this is called knowing each other and knowing oneself, and then what?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Understand first, then then." ”

Zhang Cao said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, I'll let the people inquire." Remembering another matter, he said: "I have ordered someone to send the telescope to Hangzhou to be repaired, and there are many skilled craftsmen in Hangzhou. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "In Xiao Wu's pocket." ”

Zhang Cao said: "Why don't you wear it, and let that Liu Zongzhou see it fresh." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Then I'll give it to you, if you put on glasses, Mr. Qidong won't recognize you, so you will worship under his door with me." ”

Zhang Cao smiled: "Do you want to be driven away by him twice, I can't wear those glasses, and I will be dizzy when I wear them." ”

……

Talking all the way, I arrived at Dashan Temple early, the square in front of the temple was much deserted on a rainy day, there were few vendors, and there were few pilgrims, Zhang Yuan looked around, and didn't see the fallen girl who sold oranges in a bamboo basket, thinking that she should take some time to go to Sandai Street to see her, and those lamas were only afraid that they would go to her for trouble once they were released.

A few people went around to the back of the temple, Zhang Cao pointed to the row of thatched huts and said: "That's it, you go by yourself, otherwise the poor sour will see you and me together, and I'm afraid that I will drive you away immediately." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Hey, it's really here, I haven't seen anyone since I came here before." ”

Wu Ling said: "Young master, the door over there is still closed." ”

Zhang Cao's little servant Fu'er ran over to look first, looked at the crack in the door, and ran back and said, "Childe, I don't see anyone, there is no one in the five houses." ”

Zhang Yuan said abruptly: "Could it be that Mr. Qidong's school hall has moved away?" ”

Zhang Cao said: "It's hard to say, maybe the poor acid can't accept the students, so he has to leave." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Just ask the monks in the temple." "I went back to the front hall with Zhang Cao, and I met the middle-aged monk I had seen in the back mountain, and this monk seemed to have a lot of status in Dashan Temple.

"Master, may I ask, where is Mr. Qidong, who has set up a museum in the back?" Zhang Yuan asked respectfully.

The middle-aged monk also recognized Zhang Yuan, and said: "Amitabha, Liu Tanyue teaches every day, and he rests, and today is July 24, and Liu Tanyue went out to visit friends early in the morning." ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "I came the day before yesterday and said that I was also double, no wonder I didn't see anyone." He said, "Thank you, Master, then I will come back tomorrow." ”

Zhang Cao said: "It's like Liu Bei Sangu thatched house, you think he is Zhuge Liang, according to me, I will find another master, there are people who write well in Baguwen, Liu Qidong is just a little famous." ”

The middle-aged monk also knew Zhang Cao, Zhang Rulin's grandson, the student who asked Liu Tanyue to drive away a few days ago.

Zhang Yuan said: "No matter whether Mr. Qidong is willing to accept me or not, I always have to see him, and I will come by myself, and I don't need to be accompanied by the third brother." Heshi said goodbye to the middle-aged monk and suddenly asked, "Master, how did the three lamas who were harassing in the back mountains last get sent to the government?" ”

The middle-aged monk shook his head and said: "How else can it be released, these lamas have some doorways, and they will be released immediately, and the small temple will inevitably be disturbed by them in the future." ”

Zhang Yuan was shocked, and it was released the day before yesterday, and the bluffs were afraid that they had already found Sandai Street, so they had to rush over there immediately to take a look, so they said: "Third brother, let's go, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter." ”

Zhang Cao also said goodbye to the middle-aged monk with a solemn face, and said, "I wish the master to attain the attainment of the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara as soon as possible. Then he smiled and turned away, and when he walked out of the hall, he laughed.

Zhang Yuan knew that "Anuttara Sambodhi" meant supreme wisdom and perfection, how could mortals prove supreme wisdom and perfection, if they attained perfection, they should go to the Western Elysium, the middle-aged monk ignored Zhang Cao's blessings, obviously did not want to be reborn in Bliss.

Out of the mountain gate of Dashan Temple, the rain stopped for a while, and the gray clouds were very low, and there would be heavy rain soon.

Zhang Cao asked, "Jiezi, what is your urgent matter?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I have something to do with Sandai Street, do you want to go with the three brothers?" ”

Zhang Caoqi said: "Strange, what is the matter with you going to that degenerate area, if you look for prostitution, don't go there, hehe, I will take you to a good place to ensure that you are as happy as a horse in your dreams." ”

If the previous Zhang Yuan had been messing with Zhang Cao, it was estimated that he would have been a loser who ate, drank and gambled, and he couldn't compare to Zhang Cao having so many belongings.

Zhang Yuan said: "If you don't go, then I'll go by myself - Xiao Wu, go." "With Xiao Xi Nu Wuling carrying an umbrella to the north of the city.

Zhang Cao followed up again and said, "It's okay on this rainy day, let's go with you, hey, Jiezi, what's the matter with Sandai Street?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Looking for a fallen girl, I saw her being bullied by three lamas behind the temple, so I helped her, but I didn't expect the three lamas to be released." ”

Zhang Cao let out an "oh" and asked, "That fallen woman is beautiful?" Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to answer, he smiled and said: "It must be a beauty, if it is an old woman, then you must be too lazy to care." ”

It was really helpless to meet such a clan brother, Zhang Yuan said: "If it is an old woman, I will also care, and the old woman will bring out a daughter who is like a flower and jade when she goes home." ”

Zhang Cao laughed and said continuously: "Jie Zi Jie Zi, why didn't I find you so good before, and I laughed to death." ”

The rain fell again, much heavier than before, the hem of Zhang Yuanqing's shirt was splashed with countless small mud spots, and the white leather boots were also flooded, but fortunately, it didn't matter if it got wet in this weather, it wouldn't catch a cold.

When a few people walked through the street paved with stones in Zhishui Lane, Xiao Xi Nu Wuling suddenly approached Zhang Yuan and said: "Did the young master see it, on the left, there is a mud stove in front of the door, and the one leaning against the door is Granny Ma, who has been to our house." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard that it was the old woman who told him the matchmaker, he turned his head to look, he only heard his voice before and did not see him, but then he saw the appearance of this old woman Ma in her fifties, her face was full of wrinkles, and her yellow teeth were exposed.

Zhang Yuan quickened his pace, and only looked back when he walked to the mouth of Zhishui Alley, but saw Mrs. Ma standing in the rain on the alleyway, and there was a seemingly young girl beside her.

"Who's that girl, Cowgirl?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and walked out of Zhishui Alley.

Sandai Street is in the north of Zhishui Lane, there are three small streets, forming a "∩" shape, there are about four or five hundred households, before reaching the mouth of Sandai Street, you can see the sewage flowing sideways, the road is also potholed, two rows of dilapidated low houses stretch out one by one to the depth of the street.

Zhang Cao stopped and said: "Jiezi, I won't go in, you can go in and find someone by yourself, I'll drink tea here and wait for you." He said to the servant who gave him an umbrella: "Nengwang, you go with Jie Zi and protect him." ”

There is a teahouse at the mouth of Zhishui Lane, Zhang Cao took the little girl Fuer into the teahouse, and saw Zhang Yuan, Xiao Wu and Nengwang from the window walking into the dilapidated Sandai Street with umbrellas.
