Chapter 30 The Liu family came to make trouble again
It was already afternoon when Amber returned from the blacksmith's shop, and when she returned, she went straight to her room.
Zhu Hongyu was reading, and she still read the book "Incense Medicine", but she was so full of thoughts in her heart that she didn't read a word.
"Sister, I see that you have been reading this book for several days, aren't you tired?"
Zhu Hongyu closed the book and said, "Of course I'm not tired, I think it's very interesting." I think it's fun to make incense. ”
"Interesting?" Amber opened the book and read a few lines that were boring.
"Yes, this book talks about how to make incense, what incense is used by Taoist priests, what incense is used by monks, what incense is used by women, what incense is used by men, and what incense is used by children. And how to configure it is also very clear. Seeing this book opens the door to a new world. ”
Amber seems to have heard something.
"Sister, how do I think you bought this book for...... Rundao long? ”
Zhu Hongyu smiled awkwardly and asked, "Hehe, what does this have to do with him?" ”
"Because only he can use these, who of us can use incense?"
When Zhu Hongyu heard Amber say this, she thought about it, and it was really like this......
Oh my God, isn't it time to eat?
"Gee, it's getting late. Amber, you go and call Runye to eat, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook. ”
"Okay."
Zhu Hongyu fried two dishes, and porridge was boiling in a small casserole on the side.
After a while, Amber pushed the door in and said, "Sister, Master is gone." ”
"Huh? Have you looked for it? Maybe it's in the backyard garden. ”
"I've found it, I've found it all, every room, every corner, Sanguan Temple is not big, it's really not in the temple!"
Only then did Zhu Hongyu remember what happened with Runye today, and she didn't know where she had gone.
Vermilion unbuttoned her apron and walked out the door, looking at it was getting late.
"Sister, what now? Why don't we go out and find it together? Master never goes out of the temple gate at this time. ”
Amber really wants to take her younger siblings out to find someone, but it's not too early, and it's the season of the plague again.
"Amber, you and your brother are having dinner, and I'll go find Runye."
With that, Zhu Hongyu walked out of the temple gate and began to search aimlessly. The alleys between the houses were deserted everywhere. She walked through every alley, and she disappeared in the night.
Walking and walking, seeing that she had reached the foot of the mountain, Zhu Hongyu thought that it would be better to go into the mountain to find it.
So he borrowed a torch from the hunter's house at the foot of the mountain and went up the mountain road. There are places on the mountain road covered with mud. Zhu Hongyu shone with a torch, and there was only one footprint on the mountain road.
She followed the footsteps, but she had not gone far when she saw a fire burning beside the lake at the foot of the mountain. When I got closer, it was really a night.
Indeed, if Runye is in a bad mood, he will also find a place where no one is around, just like ordinary people.
"Hmph, it's a big night, let me find it."
Runye heard Zhu Hongyu yelling at him, and hurriedly stood up, looking at Zhu Hongyu and really didn't believe it.
"Y-How did you find me?"
"Who can you go to in this village? I can only run to a place where there is no one, and I often bathe in this lake. I said come and look, and I did. ”
Runye sighed, watching the moon shadow reflected on the lake, sparkling, and remembered some unpleasant things.
"Sigh what? Can you tell me a little bit about it? ”
Zhu Hongyu sat down next to Runye, and the two of them did not speak for more than ten minutes.
"Today's incident is that I was rude."
"It's okay, what's the matter! I really didn't take it to heart, and I don't know what I did wrong, but you can tell me clearly. ”
Runye shook his head and said, "No, it's not your fault. It's my fault. When I came here at the age of twelve, I was told to break off my love and lust, and I lived my whole life. Now...... It seems that it can't be done. ”
Zhu Hongyu didn't know what to say, listening to the meaning of Runye, it was not voluntary to be a Taoist priest.
"That'...... What did you do before the age of twelve? What about your parents? ”
Runye was also helpless, because in his memory, there was no such memory.
"They seem to be dead."
Zhu Hongyu asked tentatively, "It seems to be dead...... I'm sorry. But...... Can you tell me your story? ”
"Twelve years ago, my master went to the mountains to collect medicine. It is to follow the mountain path of this mountain and go down into the valley. He said that when he found me, I fell in the valley. There was a carriage next to it, and in the middle of it was a man and a woman, both dead, probably my parents. Seeing that I was still angry, Master carried me back. When I woke up, all I remembered was my age and my name. The rest, there is no memory. ”
Zhu Hongyu sighed, thinking that Runye would be blessed if he didn't die, and also thinking that he had no parents at such a young age, which was really pitiful.
"Later, when I was homeless, Master asked me to become a Taoist monk, and I followed him."
Zhu Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Then you always have relatives at home, right?" Didn't look for you? ”
Runye shook his head and said, "Master said that I am the son of a big family, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets hidden in the wreckage of the carriage. After I woke up, Master took me to report to the official, but the county official didn't pay attention to me, and let us go back after taking the case. ”
Only then did Zhu Hongyu know that Runye's life seemed to be poor, but he was actually an invisible rich man.
"It's been twelve years, and I don't want to go to my relatives anymore. Because I have had a very happy life in the past 12 years, most of the time I am very comfortable. It's just that now I have a problem. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? ”
Runye looked at Zhu Hongyu and said, "If a person has a terminal illness, what should you do?" ”
"Terminally ill? If he is terminally ill and there is no possibility of cure, I will let that patient fulfill all his wishes. ”
"His wishes are like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, but they can't be touched?"
"Then ......," Zhu Hongyu thought for a moment, "I will let him let go of his obsession." Some wishes are unattainable! Think something practical. ”
Runye let out an "oh" and never spoke again, his eyes full of disappointment.
The person who was terminally ill was him, he was a lovesick disease, and he was a doctor of medicine.
His wish is nothing more than a beautiful day, and Zhu Hongyu's years, months, months, days, and so on.
But he knew that Zhu Hongyu was the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, which was an unrealistic wish. Because as soon as he entered the Xuanmen, his household registration was put into an "empty register", and he couldn't give Zhu Hongyu a name.
That's it, Zhu Hongyu has figured it out, how can he not figure it out.
From today onwards – let go of obsessions.
"Am I ...... What was wrong? Zhu Hongyu asked cautiously.
Runye shook his head, because this beautiful scenery was really ironic.
"No, let's go."
Runye stood up and patted the soil behind him, Zhu Hongyu didn't know what she had done wrong, and she was very unhappy to follow Runye.
Oh my God, this Runye is really anxious to die, these days are particularly abnormal, especially today, what does he have to say? She really couldn't guess!
"Really, not?"
Zhu Hongyu followed behind Runye, like a child who had done something wrong. The two of them went down the mountain one after the other, and Runye's mood was still depressed and difficult to let go.
Liu, who had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a day, felt that her body seemed to be falling apart, and Li Zheng sentenced her to go to the ancestral hall every day to kneel, how could she hold up an old bone. Then Ma and Zhu Jinchan went to Zhao Lizheng's house with gifts to intercede.
Zhao Lizheng finally relented, saying that Liu's age was also pitiful, when did he lose money to Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Hongyu lost his anger, Liu didn't have to kneel.
Ten taels of silver is definitely a large amount for Zhu Jinchan's family, and it does take time for their family to raise money, so the Liu family knelt in the ancestral hall for nearly a month, and only half of the silver for this compensation was gathered.
On this day, Liu fell asleep on his knees in the ancestral hall, and it was already late when he returned home. Runye and Zhu Hongyu went down the mountain one after the other, and Liu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhu Hongyu and Runye walking together at a glance. Liu hurriedly looked around, trying to find a witness, but there was no one.
Liu didn't rush up to startle the snake, but only watched Runye and Zhu Hongyu walk in the direction of Sanguan Temple, and the thief's eyes stared at the two all the way, until the two turned a corner and disappeared.
After returning home, Liu rushed through the door as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Oh, that's terrible!"
Ma was serving the food in the kitchen, and when he saw his mother-in-law come back, he was excited.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"What about us, we don't have to lose money to the Zhu family, I just saw Zhu Hongyu and that Taoist priest walking together!"
"Really?" Ma Shi looked out at the dark sky, "Oh my God, this is really a big ugly thing that is against customs!" Are the two of them still together so late? ”
"If you want me to say it's not!" Liu sat on the wooden bench with his buttocks, and he didn't sigh or get angry, adding a lot of joy.
From the pot came a full bowl of water, and drank it all.
After Ma Shi figured it out, he said, "Mother-in-law, I don't think it's too late, let's go and call Zhao Lizheng now." Two people go out to fall in love so late, and they can't have a room this night? Let's catch one by one! ”
Liu thought about it, but vetoed Ma's meaning.
"I don't think I really can call Zhao Lizheng about this."
"Why?"
"I think Zhao Lizheng seems to have trouble with our family, so let's bring someone over first, and then send them to Zhao Lizheng's house after the charges are confirmed."
Ma felt that it was just right, if they could confirm Zhu Hongyu's crime, they would not have to pay compensation. That's a whole ten taels of silver!
"Okay, mother, I'll call someone!"
Zhu Hongyu and Runye went back to the temple, Zhan Ao and Amber both ate and went back to the house, Zhu Hongyu lit a hot meal in the kitchen, and after the porridge was heated, she ate with Runye, and just finished drinking the porridge and was about to clean it up, she heard a noise outside the door.
Runye put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Don't come out, there's something." ”
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"Just now you and I walked all the way, I saw your grandmother staring at us all the way, I didn't expect people to come so soon."
Zhu Hongyu really didn't expect that her grandmother was so good, why did she come to make trouble again.
Before she could warn Runye, the person disappeared. Zhu Hongyu could only peek through the door.
A group of people had already entered the door, led by Liu and Ma, and they were followed by a group of people, obviously Zhu Hongyu's style last time. It's over, it's going to be a big deal this time.
Runye stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Lizheng.
"Runye, I heard that you walked with the woman who didn't leave the pavilion at night, is this serious?"
"Seriously."
Everyone present was silent, as if stunned.
"Who is this person?"
"Vermilion."
