Chapter 405: The Mystery of His Origin
The family returned to Beijing like a tour, and it was already two months later when they arrived at Huguo Temple.
Yelang and his wife have four children, in the eyes of many people, they are a family of six, each handsome is pleasing to the eye, and the way this family gets along is even more envious of many people, especially those ladies who fight with the concubines all day long.
Song Xingchen came to Huguo Temple, asking to see Master Mingchao, and having that string of Buddhist beads is the best pass.
After greeting for a while, Song Xingchen chuckled and said, "Master don't have to be taboo, there are no secrets between us and our couple, so master take us to meet that little friend." ”
"In this case, the two benefactors will come with the poor monks." Master Mingchao just smiled and led the way.
The group walked through the small courtyard where Master Ming Chao lived, and came to a thatched house in the back mountain, Master Ming Chao motioned to a few people to wait a while, and went in to say hello to the people inside.
Soon, Master Ming Chao pushed a teenager in a wooden wheelchair out.
Song Xingchen and his wife were obviously stunned when they saw the boy, and even the child looked at the boy in a daze, because they looked too similar.
"Mother, this uncle and my uncle look alike!" Song Jifu pulled Song Xingchen's sleeve and whispered.
The young man's originally dull eyes lit up with starlight after seeing the child, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but because his legs were not good at walking, he fell directly to the ground.
"Are you alright?" The boy ran over and helped the boy and asked.
"Who is your father?" The boy asked excitedly.
"Xiao He." The boy replied.
"Are you really the son of the eldest brother? What is your name? Where's your mom and dad? How did you get out of that woman's hands? The boy asked excitedly.
Xiao Tong's arm was scratched and hurt, but he didn't shout out, and the moment he saw the boy, he seemed to have determined that the other party was a blood relative.
This feeling that blood is thicker than water, the child does not know how to express it, as if he was born with automatic judgment.
Master Ming Chao obviously expected this situation a long time ago, so he made a gesture of invitation to Song Xingchen and the others, and led them to sit in the pavilion more than a hundred meters away.
Knowing that Master Ming Chao had something to say, Song Xingchen asked Song Jifu to practice martial arts with a small wooden sword on the side, after all, children are easy to say the wrong thing, and some things are not suitable for more people to know.
"Xiao Hai has lived in Huguo Temple for nearly a hundred years, and his appearance has not changed much, at least after the poor monk knew about his existence, he has always been like this." After Master Mingchao finished speaking, he carefully paid attention to the expressions of the husband and wife, and saw that they did not have any surprised looks, so he knew that they already knew the identity of the little boy.
"Master, do you know why Xiao Hai lived in Huguo Temple?" Song Xingchen asked, feeling that he was a little abrupt, so he simply explained that he took in the child, "I don't want to be involved in this matter, and I also hope that the child can live a simple and happy life, if it is inconvenient, the master can not answer my question, I only hope that the master can respect the child's decision, let him decide to stay for himself, and ask the master to keep the secret of the child's life experience." ”
"Amitabha." Master Mingchao shouted a Buddha verse, and then said with a smile: "Female donor, please rest assured, the monks don't care about the affairs outside the party, Xiao Hai and Xiaotong go or stay, they have their own decisions, and now their uncles and nephews can be reunited, which can be regarded as the poor monk fulfilling the last wish of the ancestor." ”
"Thank you, Master." Song Xingchen returned the salute.
"Why did Xiao Hai come to Huguo Temple, the poor monk didn't know the details, he only knew that Xiao Hai was the savior of the ancestor, and he had protected Xiao Hai for nearly a hundred years with Huguo Temple, and had been trying to find his relatives and cure his legs, but he had not been able to complete Xiao Hai's wishes. Now the arrival of the female benefactor can repay this kindness for the Huguo Temple, and the Huguo Temple will definitely remember this kindness. Master Mingchao stood up as he spoke, and said, "It's time for the poor monk to do the evening class, and then let someone arrange the accommodation of a few donors later." ”
"There's Master Lao." Yelang got up and replied.
Xiao Hai and Xiao Tong, the uncle and nephew, had not finished talking about the old days, and Song Xingchen and his wife were not easy to disturb, so they took the three children to wander slowly in the bamboo forest, stepping on the bamboo leaves and strolling in the afterglow of the sunset, which was pleasant.
Xiao Hai has been waiting for more than a hundred years in Huguo Temple, and his heart has long been as silent as water, thinking that he will never see his relatives again in this life, and he will die here alone, and his revenge will not be avenged.
But he didn't want to have the opportunity to see Xiao Tong, and even the enemy was captured alive.
It's just that thinking that his dearest brother and eldest sister-in-law who treated him like a mother have been dead for many years, Xiao Hai's emotions are still difficult to control, after all, a farewell is yin and yang, and such a heavy blow is too painful for him.
"Uncle doesn't cry, my father and mother told me that being alive is the best, and they will be happy to watch it from heaven." Xiao Tong wiped Xiao Hai's tears with his sleeve, although his eyes were red, he still said strongly: "My sister also said that men don't flick when they have tears, and when they can control their tears, they will grow, and they will have good luck in the face of life with a smile, and they will be happier." ”
"Xiaotong, you tell Uncle that Song Xingchen is really good to you? Did she ask you for anything? Or do you want to know what's going on on our side? Xiao Hai calmed down and asked with suspicion.
Xiao Tong didn't understand Xiao Hai's intentions, but he still replied honestly: "My sister is very good to me, my sister's family is also very good to Xiao Tong, I play with other children at my sister's house, and I have everything they have." When my sister promised to rescue me, she told me about the conditions, but in the end she didn't ask me for anything, but I took the initiative to give her a lot of things, and it was useless for me to keep them anyway. ”
Xiao Hai's eyes gradually became deeper, obviously classifying Song Xingchen as someone with an ulterior purpose.
Not seeing Xiao Hai's face, Xiao Tong continued: "My sister also helped me bury my father and mother, and locked up that old woman forever, so that she could no longer hurt Xiao Tong. In fact, my sister is also a poor person, Xiaotong has now met my uncle and has relatives, but my sister came to this world alone, these are all harmed by the old witch! ”
The little boy clenched his fist angrily, and when he mentioned the old witch, hatred would arise.
Xiao Hai asked, "What's going on, you talk to your uncle." ”
Xiao Tong didn't have any defensive thoughts, so he told Xiao Hai what he knew, because he didn't understand the meaning of soul crossing, so he could only say what he remembered.
After listening to Xiao Tong's words quietly, Xiao Hai was silent for a moment before saying, "Go and invite that sister over, Uncle has something to talk to her alone." ”
"Okay." Xiao Tong nodded in response, but before leaving, he said: "Sister is a very good person, uncle, don't bully sister." ”
Although Xiao Hai felt uncomfortable, he still nodded in response, his nephew naturally couldn't be handed over to the bad guys to bring.
When Xiao Tong found Song Xingchen, she was coaxing the little guy to sleep, the energy of the dragon and phoenix siblings is very strong, and the biological clock is surprisingly consistent, so there is no one around to take care of them, and it is really difficult to coax them to sleep.
When the little ones fell asleep, Xiao Tong said that Xiao Hai wanted to see Song Xingchen.
"No, unless I go with you." Yelang refused without thinking about it, and said precautionarily.
Song Xingchen said with a smile: "Don't worry, if we are also worried about the situation of the children, not to mention that they are the only blood relatives in this world, they will be fine." ”
Under Song Xingchen's gentle gaze, Yelang had no choice but to watch him leave.
In fact, it is not convenient for Yelang to follow the two children, Song Xingchen, who has space in hand, is still capable of protecting himself, but it will be very troublesome to add their father and son.
Thinking of the old witch, Yelang was very uneasy, but he also knew that when he encountered an opponent like the old witch, only Song Xingchen could fight the other party, and he had no way to resist.
When he came to the hut, Song Xingchen nodded to Xiao Hai in a friendly manner, and he was not annoyed when he saw Xiao Hai's calm face.
"I know you're worried that I have other intentions for the child, but if you're not at ease, you can leave the child behind, or you can leave with us, so that you can protect the child nearby." Song Xingchen said straight to the point: "I think you must have asked Xiaotong, if you have something about me, you should also know my origin." Just as I don't know what your world is like, and I can't explain to you what my world is like, let's just take it as our own secrets, after all, we can't go back to our own world, and the most important thing is to live well now. ”
"You really don't have any other purpose for the child?" Xiao Hai asked distrustfully.
"A child is not a child in the real sense, even if he has not been in contact with the outside world for many years, he should be much more mature in this year, and he should be able to feel whether he is sincere or not." Song Xingchen restrained his smile and said seriously: "I don't know what it's like for you to wait here for more than a hundred years, but I know that my life is only a few decades in a hurry, so I don't have time to waste on those things that don't matter." Not to mention that I can't practice your exercises here, even if my current spiritual power can attack others, what benefits can it bring me? ”
After a pause, Song Xingchen smiled bitterly: "Piff is not guilty, although the spiritual attack is higher than the force value of this world, but it is not inexhaustible, unless I expose my secrets, but I alone can avoid other people's swords and arrows, but my relatives cannot, and I can't selfishly isolate them from the world forever for their own selfish desires." Therefore, the best thing to do is for me to live the life of an ordinary person and always guard my secrets. ”
Xiao Hai was silent, just looked at Song Xingchen fixedly, as if in such a look, he could see through the other party's inner thoughts.
Xiao Hai lowered his eyes for a long time, and the hand holding the armrest loosened and said: "You're right, we can't go back to the past world, and living the present life is the most important thing." ”
"Thank you for figuring it out, it's best for kids." Song Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xiao Hai would have undue attachment, which would hurt Xiao Tong, "I will help you heal your leg in the next few days, but I am not sure if my method will be effective, so I can only try." ”
"You can." Xiao Hai said with a solemn expression: "Maybe you don't believe it, you have the blood of the Xiao family flowing in your body, and you are more pure than me and Xiaotong, otherwise the space will not recognize you as the master, and the string of Buddhist beads will not fall into your hands." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Song Xingchen asked puzzled.
"It's a long story, and it starts with that old woman who hurt our family." Xiao Hai's eyes were empty, looking into the distance, and he fell into memories.
Song Xingchen was suddenly a little nervous, but she didn't ask anything, she believed that Xiao Hai would tell her everything when she was willing to speak.
Perhaps, there are other reasons why she came to this world, even if she knows, she can't change anything, but Song Xingchen still wants to know how many secrets she has as an orphan.
