Chapter VII Asking for Signatures
"Thank you, ma'am. "Thank you, mother. The two said at the same time.
Linglong glanced at Xiao Yi, and didn't ask, why didn't she tell the truth to her father and mother.
"If you want to fish now, sit next to us, and don't run around any more. Master Li looked at Linglong and Xiao Yi and said.
Linglong and Xiao Yi glanced at each other and nodded together.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi continued to catch his fish, and Linglong was a little tired, so she leaned on her wife and fell asleep.
Linglong let out a giggle from time to time, and I don't know what kind of sweet dream she had. When the lady saw Linglong like this, she couldn't bear to wake her up, and gently stroked Linglong's hair. So much so that later, they got into the carriage and didn't let Linglong wake up. Maybe the children are more able to sleep, and they actually slept directly to Zhongming Temple.
This Zhongming Temple is not very famous, so there are not many pilgrims who go up the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha. However, it is located in a very good location, and when this temple was built, a lot of bamboo was planted, and it is now surrounded by bamboo forests. Although the temple is not very prosperous, it is different from the general scenery, simple and special, the temple is not big, but it can accommodate more than hundreds of people.
When I first arrived at the gate of the temple, there was a little monk who was sweeping the ground with a broom, and after entering the gate, there were several child monks watering flowers and pruning branches, and everyone showed a calm and calm face on their faces.
When a monk saw Master Li's family coming, he immediately greeted him.
"Master Li, you haven't been here for a long time, is the old woman okay?"
"The abbot is concerned, and the family is well. Master Li clasped his hands together and bowed to the monk.
"Today I brought my wife and children here to pray to the gods to keep my family safe. ”
"Master Li is so sincere, he will definitely be seen by the gods, please follow the old man to this side. ”
The abbot brought Master Li's family and Xiao Yi into the main hall and left.
Master Li urged Linglong to pray to the gods with his wife, but this kneeling was the time for a stick of incense, and Linglong couldn't hold on to half a stick of incense. I heard that there was a fortune teller in the side hall, so I pulled Xiao Yi and looked for it.
"Go out and turn right, and the second room is. Linglong said in pieces. "It should be here, is the fortune teller here?" Linglong's milk voice was milky, and she was a little cautious, for fear of making a mistake.
"Here, I'm the fortune teller, guests come in. A powerful voice came from inside the room.
Linglong pulled Xiao Yi and gently pushed the door open and went in.
"Please be seated, what are you?" the fortune teller did not ignore Linglong because of her young age.
"I want to. Linglong hesitated, thought for a while and said, "I want to settle the marriage." ”
"Okay, please say your birthday, and then draw a lot. The fortune teller pointed to the stick next to him.
After Linglong said his birthday, he drew a lot and handed it to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller took the sign, took a look, and wrote from the wordless side of the bamboo stick, "Nothing is there, good beginnings and good ends." After writing it, I returned it to Linglong.
Linglong glanced at it, but didn't know what it meant, and asked the fortune teller how to interpret it, the fortune teller shook his head and said, "You will understand in the future." ”
Linglong thought to herself, something, so mysterious, won't it fool me. Forget it, we'll see it later. Linglong put the bamboo skewer into the sachet she carried, and then looked at Xiao Yi, as if to say, it's your turn, hurry up and calculate.
Xiao Yi shook his head a little helplessly, and sat down where Linglong had just sit. The fortune teller looked up, there seemed to be some shock in his eyes, and his eyes rolled, as if he had something to say, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
"Guest, what do you want to count?" the fortune teller repeated.
"You can test a word for me, 'Fu'. ”
"Okay, please say your birth date and draw a lot. ”
After Xiao Yi finished saying the eight characters of his birthday, he also drew a lottery and handed it to the fortune teller.
The fortune teller took the sign and wrote, "There is a reward." Then he handed it to Xiao Yi.
After Xiao Yi took the sign, he handed the fortune teller a few copper plates, thanked him and left with Linglong.
This time Linglong is even more puzzled, the fortune teller seems to know Brother Xiao Yi, but Brother Xiao Yi doesn't seem to know him, and the fortune teller is also a little weird.
Linglong looked up at Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao Yi, do you know that fortune teller?"
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
"But I think he knows you. ”
"Yes, maybe I look like his old friend, little fool, what do you think?"
"No, I just think the fortune teller is a bit weird. ”
Xiao Yi didn't speak again, just smiled.
After Linglong and Xiao Yi finished calculating, they saw that Master Li and Mrs. Li also happened to come out of the main hall, so they greeted them.
Then Master Li took them to chat with the abbot for a while, and when he felt that it was getting late, he hurried back with his family and Xiao Yi.
At night, Linglong lies in bed.
What does the words on this signature mean?"'Nothing is yes', I don't have a marriage, but in the end I have it, is that what does it mean? Then what is the final outcome between me and Brother Xiao Yi? 'Good start and good end' does it make me a good person? But what is the connection between this and the marriage I am talking about? Alas, Mom, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand, I'm so tired!" Linglong's thoughts became more and more chaotic.
"Can't you say something that is easy to understand? Do you have to fix all these things that you don't have, and you are unfathomable? Hmph! I feel like a big liar!" Linglong turned over, put the skewer under the pillow, and went to sleep.
Meanwhile.
Xiao Yi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, 'there is a report', the person is no longer there, what to report? But I feel that things are really not so simple, everything is found to be reasonable, but there is always something wrong. One day, I will find the truth of the matter, even at the cost of my life.
In the days that followed, Xiao Yi came to accompany Linglong when he was free, but Linglong was not satisfied, and hoped to see Xiao Yi more often. She didn't want to study, but in order to stay with Xiao Yi, she went to study in the school with Xiao Yi. This matter also solved a drudgery for Master Li, and there was no need to let Linglong go to study hard, and everyone was happy.
In addition to daily reading, Xiao Yi also teaches Linglong carving when she has free time, but every time she teaches, Linglong is absent-minded, and the ghost knows who she is facing nymphomaniac. After teaching for a long time, Linglong can only carve some small flowers and grass gadgets. But Linglong didn't feel anything, but felt very proud. Xiao Yi saw Linglong's appearance, so he had to give up, anyway, the coming days are long, Xiao Yi will teach slowly.
Ten years later.
"Brother Xiao Yi, come on, how about this lantern, tonight's Lantern Festival, I want you to accompany me to put lanterns. ”
"Okay, but don't go home too late. ”
Ten years have passed, and the young man has grown up and has a good demeanor, if you only look at the appearance, the bewitching color will definitely be mistaken for a playboy. But as soon as I heard the conversation, I was so humble and gentle, and there was no transgression between the words, which was really a waste of this good skin.
The lawless and naughty little girl has also grown up, although she is getting older, but the stinky temper is getting bigger and bigger, except for Xiao Yi, no one can convince her. Of course, the immaturity of childhood has faded, and the exquisite face is still amazing. It's really a matter of looking at the city, and then about the country. He has just turned 16, and there are already dozens of people who have come to propose marriage.
In order to better play with Xiaoyi, Linglong always dressed up as a man to go out, but avoided the men in the city, but the woman threw herself into her arms one after another, which was really a headache for Linglong and Xiaoyi, who wanted to have a good time.
"Brother Xiao Yi, then you choose a few lanterns, these are the ones I chose. Linglong looked at Xiao Yi and said.
"I don't have much to ask for this, so let's do it, you can choose what you have chosen, and give me one more. Xiao Yi picked up a lantern and looked at it.
It's been like this since I was a child, alas, it's really not a bit assertive. Linglong was a little helpless, but helpless, and nodded at Xiao Yi.
