Chapter Seventy-Six: The End of the World at This Time

On July 16, the weather became extremely unusual again.

Although it was still early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen, there was a wave of heat rushing invisibly.

By midday, the weather had become even hotter and hotter, and it was overwhelming, frustrating, but with nowhere to hide.

The heat wave is like a ghost, like a shadow, it follows wherever you go. Even if you throw a bucket of cold water over your head and get soaking wet, the heat wave can quickly evaporate the water in a very short period of time.

At the end of the day, you're still hot, or even hotter.

Even in the middle of the night, the cool breeze did not arrive as expected, but the heat wave during the day did not subside in the slightest.

The big moon came as scheduled, hanging high in the sky, illuminating people who could not sleep because of the heat. The villagers, who were upset by the heat, simply took bamboo mats and spread them directly in their yards, hoping to sleep peacefully in this down-to-earth way.

It's true that the yard is cooler than the house, but that doesn't mean it's cool enough.

It's just that, looking at the stars, looking at the moon, chatting about the sky, people who have tossed for a day can't resist sleepiness after all, and slowly fall asleep.

Although I slept sweating all over, I fell asleep in the end.

Of course, this also directly cheapens a large swarm of mosquitoes, which buzz excitedly, because they will be able to suck their fill tonight.

In such a moonlit night that people can't sleep, there are different feelings spreading.

Chenjia Village.

Like most of the villagers, Ye Feng was also extremely irritable by the heat, and he couldn't sleep at all when he lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Until this moment, Ye Fengfang regretted a little that he didn't buy a big wooden barrel in advance. If you buy it, then you can fill a bucket with well water at the moment and soak yourself in it and never come out.

Thinking about this, Ye Feng began to sigh again, at this time, what a beautiful thing it would be to have an air conditioner. He missed the feeling of blowing the air conditioner with a quilt wrapped in him.

So Ye Feng couldn't help but think that after the peanut harvest this year, he must design well and build a beautiful courtyard. Then, build two bathrooms at the connection to the backyard, buy a few barrels, one for each family.

Then design a garden and use it to grow flowers.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't sleep even more. As a result, I stayed up until midnight, but I still couldn't sleep, so after thinking about it, I lightly took a mat and pillow, spread it next to the stone table in the courtyard, and lay down quietly to watch the moon in the sky.

There is a glass of mint water on the stone table, and I take a sip from time to time.

There was no movement in Chen Jixing and Ye's house, thinking that the three of them were already asleep. Ye Feng suddenly became a little envious.

In fact, it was the same in his previous life, Ye Feng's sleep was not very good, and he would lose sleep from time to time. And the awakening is very shallow, and it is very easy to wake up. At that time, he could not help but envy those who could fall asleep as soon as their head was next to the pillow.

Some people say that you don't always think so much that you can fall asleep. In fact, if you think about it, this is not scientific at all.

If you can control yourself from thinking about things, who wants to think about it. A person who is full of worries, you make him not want to, it is tantamount to empty talk.

The moon tonight was simply terrifyingly bright, exactly the same as what Ye Feng had seen on the night he first arrived at the Nameless Temple. Looking at this moon, Ye Feng's heart swelled with inexplicable sadness.

In the previous life, I grew up in an orphanage, and I never found my biological parents until I came here. Actually, even if you look at the photos, or know a little clue.

It's okay if you don't see each other, you always have to know if they're doing well.

People are very different, but there is always one thing that is the same, that is, they all come out of the mother's womb, and they are conceived by the mother's hard work in October. It's not the Monkey King, who can jump out of the stone.

It's a pity, maybe he offended God, anyway, in his previous life, his old man didn't give Ye Feng this opportunity.

And in this life, he is also eleven years old this year.

According to the average life expectancy of people in this time and space, it is about fifty or sixty years old. In other words, the time left for him to find his parents is only forty or fifty years. And that's just theoretically available time.

It's not really worked, in fact, for many years. Just imagine, by the time he himself is fifty or sixty years old, how old will his parents be?

Moreover, birth, old age, sickness and death, natural disasters and man-made disasters are not at all out of people.

"When I sell peanuts this year, get money, and help my sister and brother-in-law build a big house, I will continue to go on the road to find my parents," Ye Feng thought in his heart.

I used to live in a temple and was too young. When I first came out of the temple, I was penniless and didn't argue anything. And by the end of the year, whether it was money or knowledge, he felt that he had it.

Help Chen Jixing's family build a house, and then leave as many potted plants as possible so that they can exchange some silver from time to time, plus the income of the Yaya Township Kitchen, Chen Jixing's family should be able to live a good life.

For more than a year, Ye Feng can only repay it to this extent.

On the other side, in Ye's house, where there was no movement quietly, she was actually not asleep. The pregnant woman's body temperature was higher than the average person, and with such a hot weather, she couldn't sleep, and her whole body was sweating.

Chen Jixing fell asleep, after all, he was tired from working during the day. Ye got up, changed into loose clothes, and saw Ye Feng in a daze in the courtyard through the window dug out of the mud wall.

Time flies so fast, Ye Feng has been coming to this house for more than a year.

She knew Ye Feng's life experience, and she knew better than anyone else that one day, Ye Feng would leave this home and look for her parents. However, now that she, Chen Jixing and Qianyan have already regarded Ye Feng as a family, if they really want to leave one day, they are really reluctant.

She thought of her lost daughter Qianyu again.

Stroking her belly, she swore that when she gave birth to a child and settled down in the family, she must go to nearby places to walk around and continue to search for her daughter's whereabouts.

Looking at the moon, Ye cried.

Looking at the moon, Ye Feng cried.

Jumbo Zhai.

Because of the new design of the Ye shopkeeper's jewelry style, the jewelry used is beautifully cut, the price is fair, and there is no semicolon, Jumbo Zhai has recently set off a topic again and has become the best choice for ladies to buy jewelry.

Now, the ladies of Qingshan County are talking about this batch of fashionable jewelry after dinner. Since each piece of jewelry is unique, everyone is proud to buy one.

The other shops are not angry, after all, when the treasure house sank a while ago, they did not make less money.

Moreover, who let the family have such a "smart star" as the shopkeeper Ye. Innovation or something, not everyone can do it. Otherwise, Youmeizhai's business would not be so good.

However, what they didn't know was that the incomparably wise shopkeeper Ye in their eyes was already drunk at the moment. It was the first time in his life that he had drunk so much alcohol.

The wine entered the bowels and turned into lovesick tears.

Thinking of the past, Shopkeeper Ye couldn't help but have tears on his face. In the end, he even cried quietly. Whimpering, very sad.

Thinking back then, he was also young and proud. At a young age, he was selected for the show, and the people who came to compliment him in the village said that his future was limitless, and he would definitely be able to shine on the lintel of Ye's house.

But as a result, it has been tried and tested again and again.

Thought he didn't know?

Wu De, who was the last in the school every time, actually won the promotion, but it didn't matter, his maternal uncle was originally the county magistrate at that time.

But Wu Mingtang, who knew that cockfighting and drinking flower wine, was actually hit. Later, he learned that for this lift, Wu Mingtang's family did not pay a price. It is said that in order for him to be lifted, the silver given up by the family can be made of a person of equal height according to his size.

However, his family was the richest man in the area, and it was worth giving up the money.

He didn't understand it before, but when he became a shopkeeper, he suddenly realized that doing so was tantamount to making money with money and investing reasonably.

On the surface, Wu Mingtang's family spent a lot of money to get the lifting quota, which can be regarded as a hemorrhage. But so what? After he became a lifter, the Wu family no longer had to pay taxes for their fields. Moreover, there are many farmers who come to invest in the fields, and his Wu family naturally wants to receive benefits from it.

After a few years, the money spent will be earned.

What's more, it has also won the name of lifting people, and all of them are respected.

In a fit of anger, he abandoned Confucianism and business, took care of Zhenbaozhai well, and got a son, although he was unsightly. But so what, that is his son, his lifeline.

Originally, he thought that he wanted to teach his son well, and now that he has money, he must let him take the imperial examination and achieve what he failed to accomplish. Who knows, his son was abducted by Hanako.

Now, I'm still alone. And the person she loves is already the county lady who is high up and needs to kneel down.

That's fine, but what does it have to do with yourself? Now he has learned not to think about the impossible.

But where is the son?

Originally, he was already living with the idea that he was no longer alive, but half a year ago, tokens appeared one after another.

Where the hell is he?

Looking at the moon, Shopkeeper Ye cried.

Jumbo Zhai backyard

Xue Laohan and Zhu sat in the patio with the clown girl in their arms.

It was so hot that I couldn't sleep at all. In addition, their house is very small, and it is okay in normal times, but not tonight.

The three of them living in it are like a steaming drawer, and just sitting quietly is a stinky sweat, and it is better to sit in this patio to be cool.

The clown girl lying in Zhu's arms looked satisfied, and the life in front of her was something she had never dreamed of.

There is no more beating and scolding, no hunger and a full meal, no more frustration of the titular brother, and no more ridicule from his friends, who chase and call her a clown sister, ugly.

Xue Laohan and his wife are really impeccable to her, and they put her first in everything. So, I thought in my heart that when I grew up, I must be filial to the couple.

However, she knew that her godfather and godmother would one day leave here and go to the outside world to find their own son. What will she do then? Do you want to go along, or do you continue to wander on your own? She also thinks about her biological parents.

It's just that I wonder if they are also like her, missing her all the time? Or had you forgotten about her?

She thought of the time when she was in Lai's house before, Ah Hua Amei in the village was sold by her father and mother for silver because her family was poor. The kind of look in Ah Hua Amei crying and shouting that she was unwilling to leave, she remembered it for the rest of her life.

For a while, the heart was extremely conflicted. One moment is the scene of her biological parents looking for her everywhere, and the other is the scene of wanting to sell her when they don't want her.

Xue Laohan and Zhu began to miss their son again.

Xue Laohan held a straw grasshopper in his hand, which was his son's favorite toy. If he still wants to play now, he can make up a few days and nights for him, and he can make hundreds.

It's just that he was abducted at such a young age, and I don't know what kind of life he is living now, and I don't remember him and Zhu.

Since being taken in by Shopkeeper Ye, life has gradually improved.

Every time she eats meat, Zhu's heart aches because she always wonders if her son can eat meat. is still like a clown girl, who is yelled and scolded by her adoptive parents every day, and she can't eat enough.

Thinking of her son's beating, she trembled with anger.

She even prayed to the Bodhisattva several times that if she could be reunited with her son, she would rather die for ten years.

Now, several people eat and wear in Zhenbao Zhai, and they don't have to spend money at all. So, they saved all their money, waited for a certain amount, and then set off again.

Looking at the moon, the Zhu couple cried.

Looking at the moon, the clown girl cried.

The county government back house.

took off the hairpin ring, lay lazily on the beauty chair, enjoying the fan of the two maids. Looking at the two children sleeping on the bed, their faces flushed, their almost inaudible voices, and their faces happy.

The weather was too hot, and if it weren't for the ice basins in the house, the two children probably wouldn't have been able to sleep. It seems that tomorrow I will thank the child's grandmother, and she loves the child so much, so she sent her own ice basin to someone, and she was afraid of heating her grandson.

"Grandson ......" Gu Xixi couldn't help but think of the lost son, the son who couldn't see the light.

Ice basins? I don't want him to enjoy the coolness, as long as he is safe. Even if it's coarse tea and light rice, it's fine. She knew in her heart that she couldn't afford anything else except blessings.

Thinking of this, Gu Xixi felt a little guilty.

is also the child she gave birth to, why can these two people in the family eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, and when it is hot, the Qin family sends an ice basin to cool down, and when the weather is cold, he has his own fox fur to keep out the cold, but he has to wander outside, the sun and the sun are not hungry, and he eats the last meal and the next meal?

Moreover, now I don't even know if I am alive or dead. The dark guards have all come out of three groups, and there is still no news. The same people don't have the same life.,Is that what it means?

Looking at the moon, Gu Xi cried.

Nameless Temple, outside the temple.

Outside the temple, a large forest of apricots exudes a sweet and sour smell, and these apricots have already ripened.

Because they are wild, these apricots are sour and astringent, and they ripen very late, so even though they ripen in patches every year, that's all.

Day after day, they hung on the branches, let the wind and rain blow, and finally, slowly, they fell and slowly turned into dirt under the trees, and even the hungry birds would not look back to peck at them.

During the day, Xue Dan and Yin Ping took a big broom and carefully cleaned the fallen leaves outside the temple wall. Before Ye Feng left, Yin Ping was still a smart child. But now, his face has become the same as Xue Dan, with that faint expression that can't see joy and sorrow.

Although it was the height of summer, it could not stop the yellow leaves from falling. Compared to the green-eyed theme, these yellow leaves seem so incongruous.

That's why it is all the more necessary to sweep away and not let this sadness spread.

Sweeping and sweeping, the yellow, orange and orange apricots that were waiting to be picked in the branches attracted their attention. For eleven years, I have seen this scenery every year, but I have never had the idea of this moment. Because lately, there have always been inexplicable emotions to annoy them.

Moreover, often reciting Buddhist scriptures for a night does not work.

Xue Dan was okay, no matter what he thought in his heart, but the movements in his hands never stopped. It's just that maybe he's older, and he's been experiencing different emotions from time to time lately.

He actually started to feel homesick too.

It was gloomy, and he stopped, and stopped to look at the apricots on the tree. Sometimes, he really wished that he was one of these apricots, not only growing outside the temple walls, but even life was just a year's time.

Once a year passes, it is a cycle.

Where is life, endless, I don't know how many years it will take.

Thinking of this, Yin Ping suddenly began to envy Ye Fenglai, envy his bravery at the beginning, and envy his resolute departure. Perhaps, he has now found his biological parents and lived happily with them, right?

But what he didn't know was that among the three, he was the first to find his biological parents, and he was the happiest after all.

And Ye Feng and Xue Dan, because of their intertwined fates, and because they came through time and space, they were going to leave here and return to the original time and space after all.

Soon it was night, I don't know if it was because it was too hot or because I had something on my mind, Xue Dan and Yin Ping couldn't sleep a little.

Moreover, for the first time, Xue Dan and Yin Ping thought of the same thing, that is, biological parents, home, these warm and incomparably distant terms.

Looking at the moon, Xue Dan burst into tears.

Looking at the moon, Yin Ping cried.

What they didn't know was that the master had already seen all this.

Nameless Temple, inside the meditation room.

The wise monk sits on a futon, chanting sutras and meditating.

The moonlight was excellent, illuminating the room brightly, and Xue Dan and Yin Ping could still be seen through the window. Although there is no blood relationship between several people, but day and night, eleven years, even if they are mud bodhisattvas, they can also deal with a little incense, not to mention that they are still living people, flesh and blood people.

Just by listening to the footsteps, he could tell whether it was Xue Dan or Yin Ping.

Wisdom is the Dharma name given to him by the master, and it is the most distinctive one among his many apprentices. Because of this name, he was happy for a long time.

He thought that the world within the temple walls was different from the world.

The outside world, fireworks and dust, things gather in kind, and people are divided into groups. Whatever it is, it is always necessary to treat it differently.

But here, all beings are equal.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and later events turned out to be not at all.

When he was a child, he was sent to the temple in tears because his family was poor and his parents were afraid that he would not be able to support himself, but he didn't want the temple to be a paradise on earth, and he suffered a lot.

And those friends of their own, they are rich in clothes and food, and they never worry about food and clothing. If you and your little partner are reversed, you will definitely be able to make a career, but that little partner may not be able to live better than your current self.

Therefore, when facing Ye Feng, Yin Ping, and Xue Dan, three children with completely different personalities and different family backgrounds, he wanted to prove his point.

So, in a panic, before Ye Feng left the Nameless Temple, he exchanged the tokens of Ye Feng and Xue Dan.

Because, Yinping's identity is just an ordinary well-off family, and the births of Xue Dan and Yinping are simply very different, one is a rich and noble family, and the other is a poor farmer.

He wanted to see what the two who had swapped identities could live.

However, at the moment, he regretted a little, he didn't know where he would take his two children by doing this. If he could turn back time, he wouldn't have done it, and he would have put the two children in their place.

He had already made a big mistake by doing this, and it was not what a monk should do.

It's so hot tonight that it disturbs his mind, and it's useless to recite the scriptures. So, he took out the rosary with a bead that had been split into a lotus flower, walked to the main hall, knelt in front of the Buddha and began to chant the sutra.

The Buddha is still like that, but he is already old and has made mistakes that should not be made.

As a result, as I read and read, a sound suddenly sounded in the quiet hall, which seemed to be Sanskrit and like a flying immortal outside the sky, ethereal, like a dream.

Then, the Buddha beads in his hand, which were next to the lotus-shaped one before, were split in an instant, both of which were lotus-shaped.

Looking at all this, the wise monk smiled.

Everything is providential.

Xue Dan, who had tears in the corners of his eyes, and Yin Ping, who was crying quietly, didn't realize that the master had arrived in front of them at all.

When they found out, the two of them were busy getting up and saluting, but they were hurriedly held down by the wise monk.

"Sleep well, I'll go and prepare dry food and wrap for you. Tomorrow at dawn, you will go down the mountain. By the way, you don't have to quit or do anything, just leave. ”

"Master, why is that? We, we don't want to go ......"

"In vain, you have been studying as a teacher for so many years, and you still ask why. Where are there so many whys in this world? In short, the fate of master and apprentice between you and me in this life has ended, and this is the end. Amitabha. ”

After speaking, regardless of the ghostly expressions of the two, they left and walked towards their meditation room.

Neither of them slept that night.

Early the next morning, the two went to the main hall, and saw two identical packages on the table. With the package and the things they had packed before, the two went down the mountain together.

The whole universe, just one earth and one moon, is unique.

This time and space is exactly the same as a human being, a name.

Therefore, what Ye Feng saw was also seen by Xue Laohan and his wife; What Xue Dan saw was also seen by Shopkeeper Ye and Gu Xixi; What Yin Ping saw was also seen by Kang and Yin Liren; And what the clown girl saw was exactly what Chen Jixing and Ye saw.

Therefore, although each person sees the moon in a different place, and each person's feelings are different, they are bathed in the brilliance of the same moon.

And each person's thoughts, through endless thoughts, are transmitted to the moon from afar, and through the brilliance of the moon, they shine on each other.

Although some fates are chaotic and reversed, those fates that have been artificially exchanged cannot be returned to in their lifetime. This has to be said to be a great pity.

However, they who have been separated for many years will soon see each other.

The end of the world, at this time.
