The original tense relationship has eased a little.

Xu Dongang found a seat and sat down, and the violent cough just now made his face blue and his lips pale. He leaned idly on the backrest, his eyes half-closed.

Jiang Shen took out his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and slowly told a story.

Things are the same as they had speculated before, originating from two mutated weasels.

The first to discover these two weasels was Xu Ruyi. On that day, he bumped into the small county order in Shouling Mountain, and fled in a hurry, fearing that the villagers would report the news and have nowhere to hide, so he hid at the bottom of this canyon.

Here he found two dying weasels.

At this time, they have already mutated and become "citrus aurantium".

Xu Ruyi is not a heinous amnesty, on the contrary, he is softer than most ordinary people.

He took out the dry food he had brought with him and fed it to the orange.

He found that the citrus was slow, limp on all fours, extremely thin, and could not move in almost one place, and there was no food here except the stream.

Fleeing in a hurry, Xu Ruyi didn't bring enough food, he needed to find something to eat.

He decided to venture up the canyon and go to the bazaar to find some food.

When he went up, for some reason, a citrus clung to the hem of his clothes and wouldn't let him go.

Xu Ruyi asked if he didn't want him to leave, and he reassured them that he would come back.

Citrus just doesn't let go.

Xu Ruyi decided to go up with the orange, and the strange thing was that when he picked up the orange and hid it in his sleeve, the orange suddenly became well-behaved, did not move, and stayed in it honestly.

And the other mandarin was also quiet, lying on the ground, as if to say, I am waiting for you to come back.

After Xu Ruyi went up, he was afraid of being recognized, so he deliberately disguised himself. But no matter how he disguised, because he didn't have enough props, no matter how he looked at it, he was still a little monk. He only dared to act at night.

He didn't steal much, sometimes a white radish, sometimes two eggs, and occasionally caught two hares in the mountains.

Strangely, every time his actions went smoothly, he was never discovered.

Stranger things are yet to come.

That day, he went to the vegetable field as usual, wanted to pull a few radishes, and heard the old man who was keeping vigil talking there, which probably meant that the old monk on Shouling Mountain was critically ill, and he didn't know what evil he had done, so he took in a wanted criminal from the imperial court and offended the old lady of the county......

Xu Ruyi was stunned, this night, he did not steal white radish, but decided to go up the mountain to have a look.

The road to the mountains was very difficult, and the small county commander arranged many sentinels to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.

In order not to be discovered by them, Xu Ruyi hid and took a lot of detours, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the sky was already bright.

He couldn't get into the temple, and there were more people in the temple.

He had been hiding in the woods outside the temple, trying to find a way to get in.

He was worried about the old monk.

But at this time, the old monk was carried out of the temple gate by two officers and soldiers.

He heard an officer and soldier say that the old monk was harboring wanted criminals in the imperial court, and the crime was extremely heinous, and he paraded it through the streets.

Xu Ru looked at the old monk who had been to the Buddha all his life, had good intentions and was highly respected, and was treated as a prisoner, shackled, and taken down the mountain.

The old monk's legs and feet seemed to be a little unfavorable, and it was very difficult to walk, but those who were holding him didn't care so much, just like pulling an animal, just follow along.

The old monk was taken out into the street, and many people threw rotten eggs and rotten leaves at him - those ordinary people were forced by the small county order.

The old monk still has that open-minded expression, no sadness, no joy, and no embarrassment.

The officers and soldiers stopped in one place and shouted: "The traitor Xu Ruyi, stand up and confess, and we will release the old monk." ”

Let go of the old monk.

Let go of the old monk.

Xu Ruyi kept this sentence ringing in his mind, and he stood up, no longer hiding, and stood in front of the group of officers and soldiers.

"I stood up, and you let him go." Xu Ruyi closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at the old monk's appearance at this moment.

But he heard a sneer from the officers and soldiers in front of him: "Just you? Hahaha, if you tease us, we've heard fugitives who don't admit that they are fugitives, and we haven't heard of anyone taking the initiative to pretend to be fugitives. ”

Xu Ruyi felt very weird and didn't understand why they were laughing. Didn't they just want to catch themselves when they did all this, but they were indifferent when they stood in front of them.

So he said again: "I'll go with you and let the old monk go." ”

The group of officers and soldiers laughed even louder, and one of them waved at him: "Let's go, don't get in the way." ”

Even the villagers, looking at him, looked at him as if they were looking at a madman.

Those officers and soldiers waited for a day, a little impatient, and muttered: "Old monk, look, you are good to others, but people may not think of you, you are like this, Xu Ruyi is still greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not stand up." ”

"Let's go, I'm afraid he won't come today, and he will continue tomorrow." The other man waved his hand and was about to drag the old monk up the hill again.

Xu Ruyi was completely puzzled, what they wanted to arrest was indeed themselves, but they didn't arrest them when they stood in front of them.

He rushed up again and stopped those officers and soldiers: "I'm here, you let go of the old monk, don't embarrass him anymore, I'll go with you." ”

One of the officers and soldiers was impatient with him, and whipped him: "Madman, get away." ”

Xu Ruyi was whipped, was pulled aside, and fell to the ground, and he watched as the old monk was taken up the mountain like an animal by them.

Two lines of tears welled up in Xu Ruyi's eyes, it was he who hurt the old monk, he must save the old monk!

He struggled to get up, and by this time it was already dark, and the people around him had dispersed.

The whip was so hard that his skin was torn apart, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

Only a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was still standing there, holding an umbrella in her hand.

"Why don't you go?" Xu Ruyi asked her.

"It's going to rain, your wounds will become infected if they touch the rain." The little girl's voice was very good, she was dressed simply and elegantly, and there was a stubbornness in her eyes.

"I'm fine." Xu Ruyi staggered forward two steps, he didn't feel pain, and in his heart, only the safety of the old monk was in danger.

There is no longer himself left.

"Go back to my house, I'll help you bandage it, and then I'll accompany you up the mountain." The little girl held an umbrella and followed closely behind Xu Ruyi.

A thunderclap exploded in the sky.

Soon it began to rain heavily.

Xu Ruyi heard the sound of rain hitting the umbrella above his head, and then slipped to the side and fell to the ground.

Not an inch of his body was wet.

He turned around and saw the little girl standing outside the umbrella, which was very small, and she left it to him, and he was drenched in soup.

"Come home with me." The little girl wiped the rain that fell on her eyes, a little embarrassed, but those eyes were so bright and clear, with stubbornness.
