Inside Lanruo Temple.

After Ning Caichen lit the fire, he made a simple bed by the fire, using door panels and other sundries.

After Ye Tai finished cleaning the Buddha statue, he felt that there was no more obscure divine thoughts, so he shook off the dust on his body with the immortal yuan and walked over.

Ning Caichen didn't notice his action of releasing the strong immortal yuan at first glance, but it made Yan Chixia more convinced, this is a Buddhist cultivator who has cultivated more than himself.

Mrs. Ye sat down and found that Ning Caichen had also helped herself, made a simple bed, smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a thank you.

The three of them were roasting on the fire, which should have been very warm, Ning Caichen, please always feel that around this Lanruo Temple, there was a gust of cold wind, so he couldn't help but rub his shoulders and said:

"Li Gongzi, do you think that this place is a little colder than other places in Guobei County?"

Yan Chixia smiled and said, "You are a weak scholar, and if you enter the wolf's den, of course you will feel cold." ”

"Wolf's den?"

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that when he and Yetai came, it was getting late, but he vaguely heard a few wolf howls.

But this cold weather has nothing to do with the wolf's den.

Ning Caichen pursed his mouth, looked at Yan Chixia and said: "Strange people, we have a fire, and there are groups of three or five, and the wolves don't dare to break into the temple to be demons, by the way, weird man, what's your name?" Why did you choose to stay here in the middle of the night, your martial arts are so strong, could it be that you are just like me and Li Gongzi, you are shy? ”

Yan Chixia did not shy away from saying: "A certain Yan Chixia has lived in this Lanruo Temple for more than half a month, but it is not because she is shy in her pocket, but to save people." ”

"Saving people?"

Ning Caichen didn't know why, and asked innocently: "Who to save?" ”

"You idiot!"

Yan Chixia said angrily: "It's really bold, a weak scholar dares to come to Lanruo Temple at night to stay overnight." ”

Ning Caichen felt more and more that this person had a strange temperament, do you think I want to come to this wilderness in the middle of the night, don't you tell you everything, it's because I'm shy.

Then he rolled his eyes, ignored him no longer, and looked at Ye Taidao: "Li Gongzi, I really didn't see that you are still a person who respects the Buddha and worships the Buddha." ”

Ye Tai roasted the fire and said with a shallow smile: "I used to be a lay disciple of Lingyin Temple, and it has become a habit to worship Buddha when I meet him. ”

"Lingyin Temple...... No wonder. ”

Yan Chixia muttered, remembering the behavior of the tree demon slapping the face of the Lingyin Temple some time ago.

It is also clear that Ye Tai's roots, the purpose of coming to this realm, and the reason for paying such respects to the Buddha.

Ning Caichen also nodded, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that Li Gongzi still has this identity, which makes Xiaosheng more at ease, I am a great Song Tongsheng, and the national spirit is added, and then Li Gongzi and this strange hero are here, even if there are really any demons and monsters, they don't dare to come to us if they want to." ”

This is purely a compliment, because Ning Caichen still doesn't believe in the existence of any demons.

If there really is, Yan Chixia is such a big living person, even if his martial arts seem to be quite strong, but when he encounters a demon with great magical powers in the mouth of the storyteller, he has lived here for more than half a month, how can there be nothing at all.

Yan Chixia rolled her eyes at him and said, "First, a certain family is called Yan Chixia, not a strange person, turtle grandson." Second, a certain family and this Li Gongzi are naturally not afraid of any demons and monsters, but you, if you raise a human position, it is better to say, just a child, no one will bury it when he dies! ”

Ning Caichen was leisurely, as if he was accustomed to this strange man's way of speaking, and said to Mrs. Ye: "Master Li, since everyone is a fallen person at the end of the world, I don't know what your plans are tomorrow?" Today, you have a meal in Xiaosheng, if you go back to the cold house with Xiaosheng tomorrow, it will be good to repay you, but the family is poor, only some coarse tea and light rice, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Although Ning Caichen looks stunned, he is not stupid.

This Li Gongzi was a lay disciple of Lingyin Temple in the past, and he walked outside all the year round, but he lived a more chic life than anyone else.

There must be force in the body, and maybe quite good!

And as a casual ranger, he just ran out of entanglements, and he was a weak scholar, acting alone at the border, which was indeed a little unsafe.

The last Jibao Zhai guy who knew some rough fist and foot kung fu was not hacked to death halfway.

In the name of repayment, I can just go all the way with him, and my personal safety can be guaranteed.

Although Mrs. Ye definitely wouldn't go with Ning Caichen, she suddenly asked as if she remembered something:

"Let's talk about the things of the peers, it's just that Brother Ning is a reader with poetry and books in his belly, but he doesn't hesitate to come to this border to collect debts while working and studying, is there any difficulty at home?"

Ning Caichen smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's not a secret, in the second half of the work and study, it is also a last resort, Ning's family has three or two acres of fertile land, but his wife has a serious illness in bed, and there is a fifty-year-old mother, so he has to go out to work and study, otherwise, he will ...... Alas, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to pay my wife's medicine and soup fees and the school's tuition fees. ”

Gee.

Yan Chixia glanced at Ning Caichen, and felt more and more that this kid was quite pleasing to the eye, he didn't abandon his bad wife, he wanted to support his family, asked to study, he had to go out to work and study, and he was a responsible scholar.

Mrs. Ye also nodded lightly, but did not say anything more.

Ning Caichen has a family, this is the real plot in Pu Songling's original book.

In fact, in many film and television dramas, he and the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian are only filmed, and the love story is singing, crying, and heart-wrenching.

Ning Caichen in the original book, but when his wife was seriously ill, he started a bad relationship with Nie Xiaoqian, and finally brought Nie Xiaoqian home, and when he saw his mother-in-law, his wife who was sick in bed was still coughing painfully in the next room.

Ning Caichen was in this situation, continuing Nie Xiaoqian as his wife, and when he was old, he also took a few concubines.

It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of life.

From a modern point of view, this is an out-and-out scumbag.

However, in ancient times, Ning Caichen was already a good young man with affection and righteousness.

In ancient times, there was nothing to take a concubine, since his wife was seriously ill, but he braved the wind and rain to go out, earning medicine and soup for his wife, and couldn't bear to spoil his wife, so he passed away, and after falling in love with Nie Xiaoqian, he also hid it from his wife, and didn't want her to know this fact when she was sick.

After all, if he weren't a kind person in his bones, Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian would not be so optimistic about him and help him.

It's just that in Mrs. Ye's opinion, his biggest criticism is the sentence "life is not the same".

You say that if you take a concubine, you will take a concubine, and if you continue the string, you will continue the string, but you always like to flaunt yourself, saying that in this life, you will never fall in love with other people.

When he said this, the promise was an attack of the literati's illness, and it came from the heart.

But after flaunting himself, after his wife was old and decrepit, and the husband and wife were in love, they began to take concubines again.

That's kind of something.

But this may also be a common problem of ancient literati, after all, even one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, Su Dongpo, doesn't he have a black history of giving his pregnant concubine to his friends to play.

Mrs. Ye asked this out of pure curiosity, not to belittle anyone, and after knowing the answer, she didn't have any reaction in her heart.

Ancient normal.

It does not prevent him from saving Ning Caichen's life when he was killed.
