Chapter 35: The High Monk

Xu Ruyi followed the little girl home, he stood at the door of the little girl's house and refused to go in.

In those days, if the little girl was alone at home, he would have insulted the little girl's reputation if he went in - although he was a monk, he was also a notorious fugitive in the village.

The little girl did not care about this, and dragged him into the house.

There was only one dog in the house.

The little girl entered the back room, changed into a clean dress and came out, and bandaged Xu Ruyi's wound.

There is a bronze mirror hanging in the room.

Xu Ruyi saw his face from the bronze mirror, which was a completely different face from before.

Weak, pale, and gray-faced.

It's like a madman.

Xu Ruyi touched his face, his heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, he also understood why those officers and soldiers didn't arrest him.

But myself, why did it become like this?

After eating the little girl's cooking, that night, Xu Ruyi and the little girl took advantage of the night to go up the mountain.

Xu Ruyi felt that it was useless for the little girl to follow, and wanted her to stay at home, but the little girl shook her head stubbornly.

"Why are you helping me?" Xu Ruyi was puzzled.

This little girl looks ordinary, but she dares to let a "madman" into her house and bandage his wounds, which is really bold.

"Because you're a good person." It seemed to be a meaningless answer, but it was very sincere in the little girl's mouth.

"Good guys? How can you see it? Xu Ruyi sneered, just because he was a good person, he helped him, I don't know if this will bring him a lot of trouble.

The little girl stopped, looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "Because the abbot is a good person, you have to save him, so you are also a good person." ”

The abbot is the old monk on Shouling Mountain.

Xu Ruyi narrowed his eyes, it seems that he is another person who has received the favor of an old monk.

The two of them came to the top of the mountain together and found a piece of forest to crawl up.

They want to rescue the old monk.

Xu Ruyi threw a stone at several officers and soldiers guarding the temple gate, jumped out of the forest, and shouted at them exaggeratedly: "You guys, are you a watchdog!" ”

Those officers and soldiers were humiliated, their faces turned blue in an instant, and they chased after Xu Ruyi.

The little girl took advantage of their distraction and slipped into the temple.

Xu Ruyi led them all the way to the halfway up the mountain, and if those officers and soldiers were lost, he would pop out another head and taunt them.

Just like that, they ran around Shouling Mountain for most of the circle.

Those officers and soldiers couldn't run anymore, sat on the ground panting, and scolded Xu Ruyi, don't let them see him again next time, they will be crippled directly if they see him.

Xu Ruyi estimated that the time was almost up, and he no longer cared about those officers and soldiers, and went into the woods, and after confirming that there was no tail behind him, he went all the way back to the little girl's hut.

Surprisingly, the little girl has not returned.

Xu Ruyi sat in the room and waited all night, but he didn't wait for the little girl.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Xu Ruyi understood that maybe the little girl would never come back.

The dog in the yard barked, usually at this time, the owner had already fed it, but today, the food bowl was still empty. It circled uneasily around the gate.

As soon as Xu Ruyi opened the door, he saw many officers and soldiers walking on the road.

The small county commander sat in a sedan chair and was carried back.

It wasn't until he left the village that Xu Ruyi saw that the people in the village breathed a sigh of relief: "This plague god is finally gone." ”

"Why did they leave?" Xu Ruyi felt empty in his heart, as if there was something he was most afraid of.

The man he held him looked at him impatiently, and recognized him as the madman from yesterday, and a poor man, so he said, "If they don't leave, do you still want them to stay here?" The old monk on Shouling Mountain died, and the old lady of the county could no longer use the old monk to catch Xu Ruyi, so he started to go back. ”

The old monk died.

The old monk died.

The old monk died.

Xu Ruyi sat on the ground dejectedly.

It was he who killed the old monk.

That...... What about the little girl yesterday?

Xu Ruyi ran to the mountain and the temple like crazy, and he saw the corpse of the old monk, his clothes were tattered and he was very embarrassed.

There are quite a few blood stains at the corners of the mouth.

Xu Ruyi gently pinched his cheek, opened his mouth, glanced at it, and suddenly burst into tears.

The old monk committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Yesterday at the bazaar, the old monk recognized him, and was afraid that he would do something stupid again, so he took the initiative to send it to the county master, so he committed suicide.

Xu Ruyi hugged the old monk's corpse tightly, the only person in the world who treated him well was lying in his arms coldly at the moment, never to speak again, never to smile at him again.

There will never be a person who will add a spoonful to him every time he serves porridge, and sneak around without being discovered by him.

Xu Ruyi held the old monk's body, walked to the back of the temple, asked him to sit against the wall, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for him.

The old monk looked like he was just tired of walking, and then fell asleep against the wall.

Xu Ruyi remembered that he still had a little girl who had not been found.

He went into the courtyard again, and found the little girl in the best house of the temple.

She was lying on the ground, ragged.

Xu Ruyi picked her up with a sheet, covered her body, carried her outside, and put her with the old monk.

Xu Ruyi looked at the two people.

Clam up.

It was dark, the moon was rising, and the sky was full of stars.

Xu Ruyi knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and walked down the mountain.

When he came up again, he carried two coffins.

No one knows how he got the coffin or how he carried it.

He carefully arranged the two coffins.

Put the old monk and the little girl in the coffin.

The lid of the coffin was covered and buried in the earth.

It is buried right behind the temple on the top of Shouling Mountain.

When the monument was erected, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask the names of the old monk and the little girl.

Looking at the two wooden tablets in front of him, he didn't know what to write for a while.

In this life, the only two people who have given him warmth, he doesn't know their names.

Xu Ruyi kowtowed a few more times and staggered down the mountain.

By the time he came back, it was already a year later, and he had already become a senior monk on this spiritual mountain.

Xu Ruyi was followed by a black dog, who was fat and strong by him, but for some reason, he had never been close to Xu Ruyi.

No one mentioned the fugitive named Xu Ruyi, the old monk who took in a person with a "wolf's heart and dog lungs".

People only know that there is a young abbot on Shouling Mountain, who is handsome, bodhisattva-hearted, and a living immortal.

All the people who mention him call him a high monk......
