Chapter 8: A Change of Heart
"Don't get in the way, go, I'll send you home first, and I'll wait until I see your grandfather!" Daoist Baihe shook his head when he heard this, and then took Chen Kexin's small hand and said.
"Grandpa Taoist, why are you called Maoshan White Crane, isn't the white crane the name of the bird, then can you fly, bad, I came out to get medicine for my grandfather, I don't know how I was deceived by that sister to the lake, it was you who saved me, grandpa said, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, but I don't have anything now, don't blame me!" Chen Kexin scratched his head tied with two pigtails between words, and was a little embarrassed.
"But don't worry, Grandpa Dao, when I grow up, I will definitely make a lot of money and repay you!" It seemed that he felt that what he said hurt the heart of the White Crane Daoist, Chen Kexin thought about it and said in a row.
"What a good boy, are you going to school?" At this moment, Daoist Baihe only felt that there was something soft in his heart that was touched by Chen Kexin, and after taking a deep look at her, he nodded with a smile.
"No, the school doesn't accept me, grandpa he supports me by picking up things, but now that grandpa is sick, I can support him, grandpa praises me for being amazing!" Chen Kexin didn't have the slightest worry about revealing the details of his family, he only felt that the White Crane Daoist in front of him was extremely worthy of his trust, so he said what was in his heart.
"What a good boy, when I get to your house, I will definitely see how your grandfather educated you so well!" The White Crane Daoist is extremely glad that he appeared here tonight and saved Chen Kexin, otherwise if something happens to her, in addition to her, the seriously ill grandfather at home may also be affected.
"That's right, my grandfather is good, by the way, Grandpa Dao, is your surname really Bai Baihe, why is it called such a strange name?" Chen Kexin smiled and narrowed her eyes, her smile was warm, and suddenly, she thought of the previous topic, whether it was a child's nature, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so she immediately asked.
"The white crane is my road name, my real name, I have long forgotten it!" The White Crane Daoist didn't take it to heart, just smiled, and rubbed Chen Kexin's little head again, for the White Crane Daoist who had never raised a child, he was particularly attached to this Chen Kexin, who thought of where it was.
"Dao number, is it the old fairy in the Taoist temple played on TV, the kind that can fly with a whoosh, I have watched Journey to the West, but then the TV at home broke, I haven't watched it again, but the old immortals on the TV are so powerful!" Chen Kexin jumped up happily, as if he felt that he had found the answer.
"Haha, that's too deified, but it's pretty much the same!" Daoist Baihe only felt that he couldn't keep up with Chen Kexin's thoughts, but after thinking about it, he still replied seriously, he was originally funny and witty, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, but he liked to have a smart and clever little girl to accompany him.
Over the years, the White Crane Taoist always felt too lonely, and the few apprentices who were accepted also had their own experiences and creations, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead in the accident a few years ago, and then they were forced to leave Maoshan, and then began to live a life without a fixed place, originally did not feel anything, just wanted to see more of the world, protect the world, and there is nothing wrong with being alone, but now in the face of this little girl, she has moved the mind of accepting apprentices again.
The long street was empty, the silent wind was swaying, and occasionally there were unburned incense paper ashes flying in the wind, following the side of the White Crane Road Chief, Chen Kexin did not have the feeling that he seemed to be followed by people when he walked at night before, he only felt extremely peaceful in his heart, one large and one small, under the street lamp, stretched the figure, and slowly walked through the night.
"Grandpa, what is your Taoist temple called?" Chen Kexin was much bolder than ordinary peers, and he had seen some strange things since he was a child, so he had already walked out of his previous emotions, and accompanied by the White Crane Chief, the conversation became more and more intense, of course, he did not forget to show the White Crane Captain the way on the way.
"Taoism, I used to live in Maoshan, and then I left, so I'll take a look around!" The White Crane Daoist secretly shocked those souls who didn't open their eyes, but he knew that the ghost door was wide open, except for some who were too resentful to be reincarnated and stranded in the world, most of them had already left after seeing their relatives and receiving the incense, so they didn't take action to calm the soul again.
"Maoshan Mountain, is that mountain very big?" For Chen Kexin, who lives in the plains, the concept of mountains is too illusory, and the only cognition comes from hearing others talk about the towering mountains, in fact, she has never even seen the real mountains and the sea, so she has been yearning to see it in person, which is the biggest wish in her small heart.
"yes, big, big!" The White Crane Taoist nodded, Maoshan is called the Shangqing Sect Altar by Taoists, and has the reputation of the first blessed land of Taoism and the eighth cave sky, how can it not be big, but it has been a long time since he left Maoshan to practice around, at this moment, he was reminded of a trace of sadness, and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"It's great, it must be beautiful, I haven't climbed the mountain yet, grandpa said I'm still young, and he will take me to climb the mountain when I'm older!" Chen Kexin's face was full of longing, with her age, she didn't know what kind of tiring thing it was to climb a mountain, maybe even if she knew, she would yearn for the mountains and mountains that could broaden her horizons.
"Maoshan is very big and there are a lot of people, but I've been away for a long time, and I have the opportunity to take you back to see, but I'm the only one left in our vein!" A touch of indescribable vicissitudes flashed in Bai Hezhen's eyes, and he said with a hint of joy, of course, he didn't blame Chen Kexin's inquiry, but there were some knots in his heart, no matter how long it was, it was always unforgettable.
"Ah, is Grandpa Baihe alone, how lonely it is, I have my grandfather by my side, and sometimes I still secretly hide in the quilt and cry, but unfortunately I still have to take care of my grandfather, or you live in my house, so that you can also be with my grandfather!" Chen Kexin raised his head and glanced innocently at the White Crane Daoist, subconsciously tightened his slightly rough hand, and after thinking for a while, he actually opened his mouth to hold it.
"It's okay, it's good if you have this filial piety, as for the rest, wait until I meet your grandfather and discuss it with him!" Baihe Daoist said again, he only felt that this little girl's thinking was really a little unable to keep up, this may be the generation gap, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was good to have such a little girl with him.
