Chapter 163: Is it you?
Runye looked at this scene, and his heart was suddenly pinched. Taro held an umbrella in his hand, and Runye snatched the umbrella and walked towards the woman in the wind and rain.
Just as he was walking towards Sanguan Temple, an old woman who also couldn't find shelter from the rain also came over. She took off her hat and draped it over the woman.
Runye walked up to the two men with great speed, and an umbrella covered them, sheltering them from most of the wind and rain.
The woman silently raised her head and looked up at Runye's serious and compassionate face. This countenance pierced her eyes, and at once it stirred up several layers of huge waves.
Runye was also taken aback when she looked at this good-looking woman, and when she looked at the child in her arms, it was hard to believe that this was a woman who had already given birth.
The characteristics of a typical Jiangnan woman are vividly reflected in this woman's body. Delicate, exquisite, gentle, coupled with her apricot eyes and peach cheeks, she is more like the flowers that bloom in spring and summer in the south of the Yangtze River. Yes, a married woman with a natural and mature charm attracts men even more.
Runye was surprised by this face, and she didn't know why it was throbbing.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally the woman realized that she had lost her manners.
"You are ......" she almost blurted out that this person was called "Rundao Chang", but now the only reason left was the only obsession in her heart.
Yes, Runye can't be like this, he will wear a Taoist robe. Holding the child and guarding the gate of Sanguan Temple, if he was really compassionate, he would have come out a long time ago, and he would not wait for his child to breathe before coming out. This man's eyes can't be removed from her, how can he still be the Taoist priest who broke off his love and wanted to be canonized by the emperor?
"Girl, get up."
Runye was not ashamed of his long gaze, he felt that he had not done anything unfortunate, so the best choice was to let the girl get up and bring her to Zhu Hongyu to change her clothes.
The woman got up and looked at Runye's face full of defensiveness. In this world, a man who openly looks at a woman is not safe. A long, long time ago, in the Red Willow Building in Jinling, she had seen many such men.
Zhu Hongyu sat in the pergola and was not shocked, she watched Runye bring the woman over, and also took the dead baby in her hands.
The woman held an umbrella, and Runye was drenched all the way.
"Coming back?"
Looking at the two people who were drenched, Zhu Hongyu cast more eyes on the good-looking woman beside Runye. There was an aura of too femininity about this woman, which made her a woman who couldn't help but look twice.
Looking at Runye again, looking at Zhu Hongyu, she showed a long-lost smile. Soon, the sensitive Vermilion noticed that Runye had changed.
Out of the sensibility of a woman, Zhu Hongyu wanted to sneeringly ask this woman what was going on, but when she saw Runye next to her, she also knew that if these two people saw that there was really something, they could only outwit and not attack.
"Let's go and change her clothes."
Runye said anxiously, with obvious panic in his tone.
Zhu Hongyu felt wrong when she heard these words. Runye is a person who is not in a hurry about his life and death, how can he say "go quickly"?
"Okay." Zhu Hongyu frowned, and waved his hand to let Taro come over, "Taro, it's not good for people here to change their clothes." You take this girl to my room and change her with the clothes I pressed under the box. ”
Taro hurriedly took the order, and she was good at reading people's eyes, and she could see the displeasure in Zhu Hongyu's eyes. Soon the woman was left behind, and Runye sat down as if relieved.
His clothes were covered with water, but he didn't care. Sitting on the arhat bed of Zhu Hongyu, he used to sit in vain, but now Runye is sitting in reality, holding a dead baby in his arms, this baby seems to be asleep, with his eyes closed.
Zhu Hongyu glanced at the child, and there was no wave in her heart.
She had seen more corpses, and more children had died in containers. But I have never seen a doctor who is obsessed with a corpse.
"Runye, give it to me, child. I'll find someone to settle it into. ”
Zhu Hongyu stretched out her hand towards Runye, but was rejected by Runye.
"No, you don't understand, leave it to me. I'm going to send this kid away. ”
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, she was uncomfortable.
"What? Want to send this child away? So...... Do you still have to do a ritual? ”
Runye nodded, and the clouds were light and breeze.
"Yes, of course I'm going to do a ritual for this child. Also, I decided to bring this woman to live in the temple. ”
"What!"
Zhu Hongyu was too surprised, but this time she didn't hold back the words of questioning in her stomach, but asked out all of a sudden, which made Runye startled.
"This is what I should do as a Taoist priest, what are you shocked about?"
Shocked by what? Zhu Hongyu really wanted to tell Runye that she was not shocked by anything, as a couple of men and women who had already confirmed their relationship, could she tolerate her boyfriend trapping a strange woman in the temple? Do you live together?
The rain in the sky was dripping, and Zhu Hongyu didn't quarrel with Runye because of this incident in the end, she knew that noisy was not her character, and it was more likely to put Runye into a more dangerous situation.
The most important thing now is to wait for that woman to come back, this woman does not have the shyness of an ordinary young woman in her eyes, let alone the simplicity of a rural woman, her face is indeed shocking.
It's not modern, it's not going to be good looking, and there will be a lot of suitors.
This was in ancient times, and such a face was innocent of its sins.
Zhu Hongyu didn't want to judge her because of her face, but since it had already been committed on her, there was no chance to sit still.
"Since you are so merciful, why don't you open the door of your Sanguan Temple and everyone respects you?"
Runye was silent, as if the topic of vermilion jade was a dead knot.
He didn't know why he said this after seeing this woman, why he had to make such a decision.
"I just saw that she was young and had a dead child, and she was still single, and I thought about asking her family to come and pick her up. You see, although there are tens of thousands of people at the gate of Sanguan Temple, there are still a few people who are single like her. ”
Runye's words were very flat, as if the decision made in the vast space was correct, and he felt that this decision was wrong and did not want to change it.
Zhu Hongyu heard this meaning.
"That's right, you're right, I think since you encountered it, you should deal with it well. After all, you are a monk and have compassion. ”
Zhu Hongyu intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the "monks", suggesting that he should not forget the precepts.
Runye didn't doubt it, after all, Zhu Hongyu had no objection to this matter, but agreed with his approach.
The torrential rain poured down, but after an hour of rain that had been held all night, it was the end of the crossbow, and it could no longer exert its power.
At the door of Zhu's house, Taro came with a woman wearing a vermilion jade shirt, and saw the bright clothes shining brightly. From far to near, this way has attracted the attention of countless people.
Everyone in the square looked at her, young and old.
Zhu Hongyu was no exception, but wherever she looked, she paid more attention to the gaze of Runye next to her.
Runye seemed to be enchanted, staring at the woman motionlessly. This look was delicate and treacherous, which made Zhu Hongyu feel very uncomfortable. Yes, every hour, every minute makes her feel uncomfortable.
"You're here."
When the woman walked up to the two, Runye greeted the woman almost immediately. And this she looked at Zhu Hongyu with a cautious gaze, and looked at Runye with a smile behind her.
"Thank you for this great good man, the two nobles are healthy and auspicious."
Zhu Hongyu listened to this woman's accent and knew that she was not from Ganzhou.
"What do you call a girl?"
To Zhu Hongyu's greater surprise, Runye actually asked the woman's name. He never asks for someone's name at an unnecessary moment. It's the same for both men and women.
"The slave's name is Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu? Zhu Hongyu looked at this woman, from "Ankang and auspicious" to "Zhang Yu", it was not like the words that a peasant girl could say.
Either she is a rich lady who has read a book, or she is the wife of a big family in the city, otherwise this woman's background is definitely not from the right path. But this name has no appeal, and Zhu Hongyu can't tell how this is better than ordinary women.
Runye looked at Zhang Yu and asked as planned, "Where does the girl's family live?" Do you have any relatives at home? ”
Zhang Yu smiled, this smile is not more than a point, not less than a point, it is very beautiful and moving.
"The slave family is the wife of Zhou Ren, a wealthy merchant in Yunmeng Town, who died of cholera a few days ago. My child is a widow. ”
A wealthy merchant in the city? Zhu Hongyu was sure that this was not a Ganzhou accent, let alone Yunmengzhen.
A wealthy businessman marries a wife from a foreign country, and this wife is still well-read, and it is difficult for people to believe that they come from a wealthy family.
Zhu Hongyu, who felt that something was wrong, naturally showed politeness to the girl, and asked, "Who else is there from the girl's mother's house?" Otherwise, we won't be able to send the girl home. ”
Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Hongyu with some vigilance, as if he saw the truth of Zhu Hongyu's suspicion of her. It is undeniable that Zhu Hongyu's caution at this time is unqualified in Zhang Yu's eyes.
"The family has also passed away, and I can only go back to the house in Yunmeng Town. Although she is Zhou Ren's widow, the family's property is enough for me to live. ”
Zhu Hongyu continued to maintain her smile, even if her face was about to freeze with laughter.
Runye looked at Zhang Yu in a trance, and still didn't mean to return this woman's dead child to her in his arms.
"This son." Zhang Yu's voice became much softer when he saw Runye, "Does Childe also like children very much, so he has been holding the children of the slave family?" ”
Runye looked at Zhang Yu, and after a long time, he finally exchanged the dead child for her.
Zhu Hongyu looked at the two of them and decided to be a bystander.
The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and only by figuring out the origin of this woman can they give her a fatal blow.
"Everything in this world has a predestination. Don't be sad, girl. ”
Runye comforted the girl in a flat tone and philosophical words. The two of them chatted with "pre-determination" as a breakthrough. Among them, Zhu Hongyu didn't say a word, just watching the play.
Gradually, Zhu Hongyu could see that the woman was extremely affectionate to the child she was holding, and would subconsciously shake the child from time to time, as if the child was still alive. When she didn't talk about her dead husband, she was not so sad, but showed a pleasant appearance.
In the end, Runye suddenly asked Zhang Yu: "Since your home is empty, why don't you wait until you make a funeral for your child before leaving?" ”
Zhang Yu looked at Runye in surprise, and her familiar and dexterous eyes seemed to know Runye's identity.
"Chief Rundao, is that you?"
