"Uh, headache......"

When Ning Yi opened his eyes, his vision was blurry, and there was a faint smoke in front of him, so he subconsciously grabbed the surroundings and grabbed a corner of the futon.

This is...... Family?

He pressed his forehead hard, his limbs ached, and his left and right cheeks ached.

Feeling weak, he closed his eyes again, trying to remember what had happened last night.

Innocent City.

Cemetery.

Jade Lion ...... Blood Jade Pendant.

Sui Yangzhu.

Sui Yangzhu?

Ning Yi, who recalled it, instantly came to his senses and straightened up suddenly.

A lazy, hoarse voice came into my ears.

"Ning Yi...... Are you awake?"

The "sleepy" girl got up from Ning Yi's left, she yawned, rubbed her dark eyes, and muttered, "Brother...... I am hungry. ”

......

......

The sky was bright.

There are many temples in Xiling, mostly in the wilderness, especially in the area of Qingbai City, this piece is said to kill too much in the ground, the Bodhisattva kills the karma in the town, so many Buddhist temples are built, the age is long, most of them are dilapidated.

One of the widely spread taboos in Xiling is to stay in the Bodhisattva Temple in Qingbai City.

No one enters the temple.

Ning Yi has lived in the temple for more than ten years, since he can remember, he lives in the temple on the outskirts of Xiling, it is not terrible to enter the temple alone, in this difficult world has traveled a lot, only to find that the ethereal ghosts such as cows, ghosts, gods and snakes, if they really exist, I am afraid they are more friendly than people's hearts.

At least when Ning Yi lived alone in the temple, he never encountered any moths.

After picking up the girl, for the sake of safety and caution, Ning Yi specially walked for more than ten days on the snowy night road, and carried her to the ruined temple in Qingshui City, where she settled down.

Settled here for ten years.

The broken temple is not big, there is an ancient Guanyin Bodhisattva Buddha statue in the main hall, the backyard is cleaned and cleaned, and a bed, a broken table, and a stove can be moved.

Ning Yi squatted down to add fire to the stove and break the wooden branches.

He sniffed lightly, and the smoke wafted from the main hall to the backyard.

The incense in the shrine has been broken for a long time, and there is only one stick of incense left, and I have been reluctant to light it.

"Pei Fu, the last stick of incense, when you are going to send you home on the road in two days, please ask the Bodhisattva to bless you more, you just burn it?" Ning Yi continued to add firewood under the stove and sighed.

What happened in the suburbs of Qingbai last night is almost over.

After he passed out, thanks to the girl's cleverness, she saw that the situation was not right and dragged herself back all the way.

That Sui Yang Zhu seems to be gone, the blood jade chain is still there, it is not as valuable as Sui Yang Zhu, so if you sell it, you can change it for a coil, and you will not starve to death on the way to Tiandu when the time comes.

As for the picture in his mind at the end, Ning Yi was all a fart.

Thinking about it carefully, racking my brains, from entering the tomb to fainting, every detail is recalled.

Ning Yi couldn't figure out why his left and right cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped by Tie Pu more than a dozen times?

Could it be that there really is something unclean outside the city?

Frightened, Ning Yi silently recited a few Bodhisattva blessings in his heart.

"Ning Yi...... You were very scary last night, pale, unconscious, and didn't respond to dozens of slaps left and right. ”

The girl who was eating noodles with a big bowl of noodles had no manners at all, stared at her eyes, and muttered with noodles in her mouth: "If you die, who will cook for me?"

Ning Yi's eyes widened, and he finally understood why his cheeks hurt to death.

He was not angry to serve a bowl of noodles, he hurriedly ate two bites, and said vaguely: "Hurry up and eat, we will clean up after eating, and leave in two days, we can't stay here any longer, we will sell the chain, change the plate and wrap it, and I will send you home." ”

Pei Fu suddenly stopped talking.

Ning Yi continued to eat noodles.

The atmosphere quieted down.

Ning Yi raised her head and glanced at the girl, and saw her silently putting down the bowl, squatting on the bed, hugging her knees and looking at herself, and then lowering her head to eat noodles.

Ning Yi, who had eaten half a mouthful of noodles, suddenly raised his head again to look at Pei Fu.

He pointed to the noodle bowl and said, "Aren't you shouting hungry...... There's still half a bowl left, and you're not going to eat it?"

Pei Fu's voice was hoarse: "Ning Yi, why are you so kind all of a sudden?"

Ning Yi was speechless for a while.

The girl took out the ancient order from her waist, and there was a broken petal carved on it, and the tip of her nose said sourly: "From Xiling to Tiandu, 108,000 miles away, you finally have a chain now, after selling it, we can live a stable life, buy a hut in Qingbai City, and don't have to sneak around anymore...... If you sell it as a plate, you are not afraid to send me to the imperial capital, and when the time comes, you will find out that this token is fake, my identity is fake, and there is no 'Uncle Xu' in the top three of the Great Sui Dynasty who will come to Xiling to find me, and Luojia Mountain has never had me as a disciple at all......"

"When the time comes...... Will you leave me behind?"

Ning Yi lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.

The boy did not speak.

The fire in the stove was beating fiercely, and the sparks were rolling.

......

......

Ning Yi picked up Pei Fu ten years ago.

He will always remember the day when the snow fell in Westridge.

A middle-aged man in tattered clothes came to the ruined temple, holding a sleeping girl, who was covered in blood, and put the girl down in the Buddhist shrine, leaving this ancient order.

Ning Yi didn't know how to practice, he didn't know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was, but he knew that this man was much stronger than the so-called "cultivation masters" he had seen in Qingshui City.

On that day, the outside of the temple was surrounded by water.

At the same time that the middle-aged man stepped out of the door of the Bodhisattva Temple, his sleeves were raised, the sword qi was reversed, the Buddha statue in the temple collapsed, and the heavy snow and waterfall outside the temple were scattered, the particles were distinct, and the upside down trembled.

The sword weapon is open, hiding the murderous aura of the sleeve, and it is no longer hidden.

The sound of killing continued for a whole day and a night.

When all the noisy sounds dissipated, until there was no more sound, Ning Yi went out to investigate, and found that within a radius of ten miles, the ice and snow melted, and there were corpses everywhere, including monks, black and white clothes, blood dried up, and they had already died.

The grass bends its waist, and there is no life.

No matter what, staying will only cause trouble, so Ning Yi fled all the way with the sleeping girl on his back, and stayed away from here for ten days and nights.

He guessed in his heart that the man covered in blood was the "Uncle Xu" who Pei Fu had been thinking about the top three of the Great Sui that he had mentioned, but it was such a miserable situation...... If the person surnamed Xu is alive, how can he pass a day and a night and fail to return?

It's already a lot of bad luck.

Ning Yi remembered that when she first came to this temple, the seriously ill girl was extremely obedient, waiting quietly, not crying or making trouble.

At that time, Pei Fu was not Pei Fu, he was quiet like a wooden doll every day, his face was pale, he stared at the outside of the temple in a daze, didn't say a word, and didn't eat a grain of rice.

But he didn't know that the person he was waiting for would never come again.

After being hungry for three days, the girl took Ning Yi's food, and after gobbling it up, the first thing she asked Ning Yi was.

"Is it useful to make a wish to the Bodhisattva?"

"Useful...... It's very smart. Ning Yi, who was also young, couldn't bear it, and comforted softly: "Trust me." ”

After half a ring, the little girl knelt in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, holding incense with difficulty with both hands, her upper body was straight, her thin body was shaky, her lips were biting out blood, her eyes were still clear, and she trembled: "Bodhisattva, I know that my father and mother, as well as Uncle Xu, are still alive...... They're just busy, they're putting me here, and one day, they're going to pick me up, right?"

Someone in the temple left an after-incense, and it was all lit by Ning Yi at that time.

In front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, incense was burning and there was no sound.

The girl knelt in front of the Buddha statue all night and fell asleep for a long time.

Ning Yi listened to the trivial words all night.

At that time, Ning Yi had no home.

He thought at the time that if he had a home, then he would definitely cherish it.

Now he has.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Ning Yi picked up a white-washed rag, wiped the corners of Pei Fu's mouth with gentle movements, and said with a smile: "Oh, you have to laugh, you have to be happy, I will buy a brand new dress later, and when I send you back to Tiandu, I can't let others laugh at us." ”

"Don't blame your parents for not coming to you......"

"Xiling has had a hard time in the past ten years, if the people of Tiandu treat you badly in the future, then I, then I...... Then I'll take you back, buy a big house, give it to you, and order you a lot of noodles every day, and never make you hungry again. ”

Pei annoyed and laughed, choked up, "I don't want to eat noodles." ”

Ning Yi also smiled.

The two of them amounted to the amount, and the young man said: "I'll send you back, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles, and then far...... Don't worry. ”

The sunlight of the broken temple poured in, and fourteen-year-old Pei Fu smiled so happily for the first time.

She snorted heavily.
