Chapter 73: The Confusion of Eternal Life (18)
"Fool, how could I have left you alone." Xinhai gently hugged Xia Yutong, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fainted like this.
When Xinhai opened his eyes again, he was already lying on his bed, surrounded by Xia Yutong and Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao looked at Xinhai apologetically, blaming himself in his heart, he wiped the tears that were about to fall, and said, "Master Xinhai, you are a good person. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have looked at you like that. You're kinder than those dog-like 'mothers,' and you're more deserving to be called human than they are." And me, and I ......"
Xiao Yao wanted to continue, but Xinhai shook his head and took his little hand with his hand, "Child, you don't have to say anything, as long as I can see your smile, I will be satisfied." ”
Xiao Yao cried and threw himself into his heart, and Xia Yutong touched his head lovingly. The warmth he had never felt in the orphanage, but at this moment he really felt it in the two of them.
The pain in his body did not stop Kokomi from saving himself, knowing that it was not safe for these orphans to stay with him, and that he would not be better cared for. So he dug out the letter that Kukai wrote to his junior brother back then, and he still vaguely remembered that when Kukai was there, he praised him as a junior brother, saying that he had boundless Buddha merit in his heart.
In the letter, he found the address of the temple in the sea of Xuhai, fortunately it was not far from here, and it was about a half-day walk away.
Although Xia Yutong wanted to persuade Xinhai to rest for a few days before making a move, but looking at Xinhai's sincere eyes, he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.
In this way, she accompanied Xinhai overnight, walked for half a day, came to the door of Haihua Temple, asked to see Master Yuhai, and entrusted all the orphans to him.
However, Xiao Yao and the three of them said that they did not want to leave Xinhai and Xia Yutong, they were willing to accompany them from now on, and they did not want to enter the more magnificent and silent Haihua Temple where they could eat and drink without worrying.
Xia Yutong couldn't resist him in the end, so he begged Xinhai to keep the three of them by his side. Although Xinhai was a little hesitant, looking at Xia Yutong's pitiful eyes, he suddenly had no idea, and fully complied with her request.
In this way, the five of them continued to return to the ruined temple on the mountain, and lived a simple and poor happy life.
The last autumn leaf slowly fell to the ground, and Xia Yutong mysteriously summoned Xinhai to his room. She suddenly put her face in front of Xinhai, took out a ruler, and measured the size of Xinhai up and down, left and right, and made him open his arms for a while, and made him turn around for a while.
Xinhai was confused, and before she had time to ask Xia Yutong questions, she was directly kicked out, closed the door and threw it outside.
It was a bit cloudy, but fortunately it didn't rain, and it wasn't very cold. Xinhai and Xia Yutong sat in the courtyard looking at the clouds, Xia Yutong suddenly put his mouth to Xinhai's ear and whispered, "Master Xinhai, I secretly hid something under the old locust tree in the mountain, and this thing is for you." You're going to dig it up while no one is around, right? ”
Xinhai looked at Xia Yutong with a confused face and asked suspiciously, "If there is anything you can hand over to me in person, why do you hide it under the old locust tree for me to pick it up?" ”
Xia Yutong's cheeks turned red, and he directly pushed Xinhai out, looking a little angry, "You are really a wooden fish head, I will let you go, you will go." There are so many whys. ”
"Oh." Kokomi scratched his bald head and looked around. He didn't see Xiao Yao and the three of them playing in the yard, and roughly calculated the time, it should be their nap point.
I think that there are some fewer herbs in this temple, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to pick herbs, and by the way, I will take back the things that Xia Yutong hid under the old locust tree.
Thinking of this, he put on his back the bamboo basket and walked alone into the forest.
Herbs were hard to find in late autumn, and it took him a lot of effort to find what he was looking for. After filling the bamboo basket with herbs, he walked in the direction of the old locust tree in the mountain.
He used a shovel to dig open the soil under the old locust tree and found a package from the soil. Before he could open the package, he saw thick smoke rising from the top of the mountain.
Fear and fear engulfed him, and he ran desperately with his package, ran as hard as he could, and ran as hard as he could, toward the top of the mountain.
However, when he reached the top of the mountain, he saw the Wang family with a team of fierce villagers standing in front of the ruined temple. The villagers held rockets in their hands, and the young people held torches in their hands, and they blocked the temple gate with huge stones, looking at the raging flames inside, laughing like evil spirits in hell, completely lost their personal appearance.
Xinhai roared and revealed his true body, shaking off the villagers who stood in his way one by one. The villagers looked terrified as they desperately shot rockets at him. The rocket pierced his shoulders and limbs, and then into his abdomen, but he still endured the severe pain, stepped on the boulder, jumped over the gate of the ruined temple, threw the package in his hand, and ran towards the raging fire.
Xia Yutong crawled on the walkway in front of the temple gate covered in scorched black. When she saw that she was desperate to rush to her heart, she just kept crying and said to him in an already hoarse voice: "Hurry up, hurry up...... Walk. ”
At the moment when Xinhai rushed into the temple, the beams on the top suddenly fell. It slammed into Xia Yutong's body, burning her entire body.
The raging fire burned vigorously. The rain doesn't rain when it should be, but God doesn't have mercy when he should be.
Is there a Buddha in this world? If there is a Buddha, then why doesn't it favor this kind and innocent person?
Kokomi roared loudly with sorrow, and tears flowed down like a waterfall.
He didn't overlook at the package, and he shuddered and opened it. I saw that inside was a white cotton jacket worn in winter, and there was a letter on the cotton jacket. The content of the letter was very short, very few, but it made Xinhai's heart like a knife, and it was almost difficult to breathe.
["Master Xinhai, we are all outcasts from the world. But because of the re-encounter, he has a new world.
I think that's what is called love, which is destined to bind us together and become each other's true family. Would you like to be my family? Together with Xiao Yao, they form a new family. ”】
"Fool, fool...... Say what to make a new family. We've been a family for a long time. Kokomi grabbed the dirt with his hands, and the sound of villagers cursing came from behind him.
