Today is March 13th, and there are not many days left before the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of April. Before Xiao Nuan entered Beijing, Du Tong also discussed with her to hold a big bathing Buddha festival to earn a wave of incense money, and now he is not busy arranging in Nanshan Pass, but he came to the capital.

Now there are only Zhizhen and Yuantong left in Zhenqing Temple, and it makes people worry when they think about it. When he got closer, Xiao Nuan just lifted the car curtain, and Du Tong, who was on the side of the road, immediately clasped his palms together and saluted and said hello, "The county lord is well, and the little monk should return to Beijing to do business at the behest of his ancestor." It's a blessing to be able to meet the county lord here, and it's a blessing. ”

His ancestor was Hui Qing, the presiding officer of Yongfu Temple, so Hui Qing's months-long retreat and meditation were over? Xiao Nuan was very surprised that he could come out alive, "Are your master and junior brother okay?" When you come to Beijing, can the two of them be left in the temple? ”

Du Tong was very happy to see that Xiao Nuan was worried about his master and junior brother, "Thank you for your inquiry, master and junior brother are well." A few days ago, the little monk recruited three destined people from Jixian County to shave, two of them are the cooks of Tianxianglou, the master and the junior brother eat no worse than before, and my junior brother's little face is round again. ”

Tianxianglou is the best restaurant in Ji County, and the chef's craftsmanship goes without saying. But the real master of Tianxianglou, the third master, the cook of Tianxianglou is of course the third master's people, and they entered the Zhenqing Temple in order to meet the Zhizhen master and apprentice nearby, and even ......

The rest of the one, I'm afraid it also has a background.

Thinking of Yuantong's situation, Xiao Nuan felt uncomfortable, but she still forced a smile and said, "That's very good." ”

Du Tong discussed with Xiao Nuan, "I wonder if the county lord will have a car back to Nanshan Pass here in the next few days?" If there is, the little monk wants to take your car back as soon as possible after seeing the ancestor, and it will be more stable to take your car. ”

The vehicles and ships used by Aya Luo Nishang to transport goods were all escorted by dart masters. Xiao Nuan turned her head to look at Green Butterfly, and when she saw Green Butterfly nodding, she said, "There is a car on March 16, Du Tong wants to bring things back, and I will vacate two carriages for you?" ”

Du Tong revealed two snow-white squirrel teeth, "Then the little monk will pack some useful things and take them back, thank you to the county lord." ”

When Dutong left, Xiao Nuan leaned on the couch in the car, and depressedly wanted to go back to the city to clean up Cheng Wujie's shop!

March 16 happens to be the Qingming Festival, the day to sweep the tombs.

On this day, Emperor Jianlong, who had just presided over the palace test, took his sons and the descendants of the Chai family to the mausoleum to worship and worship the tomb; People in the city take their families out of the suburbs to sweep graves; The lifters who had just finished the exam were like birds out of the cage, and they went out of the city in groups to relax. In this endless stream of pedestrians, the shoulder-carrying Dutong is particularly eye-catching.

Xu is a few burdens are too weighty, and when Dutong walked into the fourth village, every step was heavy.

The horse team that delivered back to Jixian County has begun to load, and the team steward has already received the orders of the county lord, and when he saw Du Tong, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the things in his hand, and said politely, "You have worked hard all the way, can you go into the house and have a cup of tea?" ”

Du Tong smiled and said, "The little monk went to thank the county lord and came out, so as not to delay everyone's trip." ”

That's the best, the steward hurriedly led Du Tong to the door of the main courtyard in Zhuangzi, and handed over Green Butterfly to take him in to bid farewell to Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan asked her mother to take her sister out early in the morning, and she stayed at home and waited for her to come.

After Du Tong entered the house, he raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Nuan only had her henchmen Green Butterfly and Rhubarb beside her, so she knelt down and touched the ground with her head, "County Lord, the little monk's master let the little monk enter Beijing, and after seeing you, I will say a few words to you." ”

Sure enough, she guessed correctly. Xiao Nuan raised her hand calmly, "Dutong, get up and speak." ”

Dutong didn't get up, and he refused to raise his head, "Master said that my junior brother Yuantong was thrown at the gate of the temple when he was less than a month, and the master took him into the Buddha gate, and I and my father raised him. Master taught him to distinguish between good and evil, and to understand giving and giving. Yuantong is a monk, he is good and indisputable, with compassion as his heart, and with the idea of helping the weak and helping the world, no matter how the situation changes in the future, Yuantong will not fall into the devil's path and bring disaster to the world. If that day comes, my master hopes that the county lord will be able to make a way out without endangering you and your family. ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes were red when he heard this, and his mood was heavy, although Master Zhizhen was trapped in the temple, he also saw the situation clearly, so he sent Du Tong into Beijing. It is really difficult to grasp the scale of not endangering the family.

Seeing that Xiao Nuan was silent, Du Tong continued, "County Lord, the little monk has been by the master's side for nineteen years, and he has never seen him beg for help, please be sure to read my master's heart for my junior brother, and don't blame him." ”

"Actually, according to the little monk, you shouldn't have brought you this sentence to make you embarrassed. Unlike the master and disciple who grew up in Buddhism, the little monk's hometown was hit by a disaster at the age of six, and the little monk became an orphan at the age of eight begging along the street, seeing all the ugliness of this world and suffering from human indifference. When he was fifteen years old, the little monk couldn't get up after being beaten in order to grab a piece of leftover bread, and fortunately he was picked up by the master when he was about to die, otherwise the little monk's bones would have been ...... by wild dogs No, the wolf chewed it clean. ”

Seeing that the rhubarb beside Xiao Nuan erected his dog ears, he quickly changed his head, "You have taken your family to survive the hard days, and the difficulties are no less than that of the little monk." What's more, you are still in the Dao Gate now, don't say that Buddhism and Taoism are not mutually exclusive, that is, there is no such relationship, for the safety of your family, and then consider the relationship between King Sheng, you should not meddle in our affairs. If the little monk is in your position, he will not even refuse directly. After all, you can't burden so many people around you for the sake of my junior brother. ”

"But my master said that the only chance for Yuantong is here, so let the little monk go on this trip. For my junior brother, who is only eleven years old and has never even killed a chicken, fights for this line of life. Dutong kowtowed three more times, "The county lord is not embarrassed, the little monk has left." ”

After saying that, Dutong stood up and walked out.

Let him say both things, Xiao Nuan sighed, "You go back and tell your master, Xiao Nuan will do her best, but ......"

Du Tong knelt on the ground with a "poof" again, kowtowed to Xiao Nuan three times, and choked up, "Don't blame Du for talking a lot, Du Tong has no ability at all except for this mouth." No matter what happens in the future, with the words of the county lord today, my master and apprentice will be grateful to you for a lifetime. ”

Dutong always said that how well his master treated Yuantong, and how unbearable he was, why not himself. For the sake of his master and Yuantong, Du Tong was busy inside and out, always rushing to the forefront. Because he was an orphan before, he was rescued by Zhizhen and returned to the temple to survive and have relatives, so he was grateful and cherished, and depended on them for his life, working tirelessly for them without asking for anything in return.

He looks like himself. Xiao Nuan thought that if she was in the position of Dutong, she was afraid that she would come here to beg for someone in a low voice, fighting for her relatives.

Yuantong's vitality, shouldn't it be in Chai Yanting, how could it fall on him? Xiao Nuan felt that her shoulders were so heavy.
