Chapter 014: In the Shadow of the Swing
This scared Ah Tian even more.
Brother monk is in a nightmare, how to wake him up? Ah Tian's chest was tightly pressed against the water, burning and hot, making her heart tremble.
Ah Tian really had no choice, so he pinched his shoulder, Zhaoshui was in pain, and called out in his mouth, but he still didn't let go of Ah Tian, and still muttered in his mouth: "Ah Niang, are you angry?" If you are not happy, pinch or beat, and the child will not cry out for pain......"
Ah Tian sighed in his heart, and he couldn't bear to pinch it.
She let go, what to do? Is the monk's brother going to hug her all night?
Her face was flushed and she was dripping with sweat.
Although embarrassed, Ah Tian felt a trace of pity in his heart. Brother monk is missing his mother. Thinking that his aunt is no longer alive.
And what about yourself? His own mother is also under Jiuquan. I and my brother monk are all suffering people in this world!
"Shine on the water...... Wake up...... Open your eyes ......"
Ah Tian's heartstrings seemed to be plucked, and looking at the bald head of the water, he felt cute and pitiful.
In the end, this monk felt that something was wrong, and he also felt that what he was holding was not like A-Niang, he opened his eyes in confusion, and when he looked under the lamp, where was A-Niang in his arms, it was clearly A-Tian!
Zhaoshui was startled, hurriedly got out of the house, hurriedly put on the monk's robe, wiped the sweat and wiped the sweat, and felt guilty and guilty in front of Ah Tian, and kept talking about sins and sins in his mouth, chanting Buddha and making troubles, and his face was so embarrassed that he almost got into the cracks in the ground.
Ah Tian also lowered his head, not daring to look at the water.
Outside the window, the wind blew in, blowing the oil lamp flickering and extinguishing.
"Brother monk, you are in a nightmare, Ah Tian doesn't blame you."
Zhaoshui still feels sorry. "In the future, the poor monk will never be again. Yes...... No, this is already the second time, so where will it come from later? This monk couldn't get his words right, and he couldn't help but panic again.
Ah Tian felt that it was better for him to leave quickly.
I hope that when the sleep passes, when tomorrow dawns, the monk brother will forget.
Ah Tian turned around. "You sleep, I'll go sleep too."
"Okay."
Ah Tian entered the meditation room and turned out the light. In the dark, she was not tired again, and when she closed her eyes, she always remembered the pair of strong arms that Zhaoshui held him, as well as the exposed chest......
The smell of the monk's brother's sweat is also good. Ah Tian thought about it, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Early the next morning, Ah Tian got up and cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge.
After waiting for a while, the water still did not shine. Ah Tian was skeptical. No matter how late the monk brother sleeps, it is certain to get up early. Could it be that he is sick?
Ah Tian was not at ease, so he went to the Buddhist hall to see.
It was empty, and the water was not there. Ah Tian's heart was also empty. Where is Brother Monk? She went to look for it in the vegetable garden behind the temple again, but there was no one.
When he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw a monk leading a big snake out of the forest. Ah Tian smiled.
Zhaoshui saw Ah Tian unexpectedly, and he also stood on his feet, his eyes didn't have time to dodge, looking at Ah Tian smiling like a flower, the monk couldn't help grinning and laughing with Ah Tian. It's actually kind of silly.
The two looked at each other, motionless.
Na Zhaoshui realized the gaffe, and quickly restrained his expression, and was square and square: "Ah Tian, I came to the vegetable field early in the morning, but for hoeing?" Don't be busy, I'll just hoe. ”
Ah Tian shook his head. "Brother monk, I'm here to have breakfast with you."
"It's hard to worry about you."
When Ah Tian heard this, he felt that there was restraint in his words, so he chewed it, feeling a little uncomfortable, but it was difficult to say anything.
The two of them then returned to the temple one after the other for breakfast. The serpent also went to the neighborhood to feed.
After eating according to the water, he went to look for a hat, changed his shoes, and put a burden on his back. Seeing this, Ah Tian asked, "Brother monk, are you going out?" ”
"Yes. I'm going to a town and looking for someone. ”
"Looking for someone? How far away? Ah Tian follows you, and he can take care of it on the road. Ah Tian was quite reluctant, and his eyes were still there.
"You don't have to follow me. In the end, the road is bumpy, and it takes days and nights to come and go. I'll be back when I'm done. This morning, I went to a nearby village and told a few female monks who often come to offer incense, and if you are afraid, they will come and spend the night with you. "Shine on the water, let Ah Tian just rest assured.
In this way, Ah Tian really can't say anything.
Brother Monk still cares about her, she really can't ask for more.
Shine on the water and leave.
Ah Tian wanted to speak and stopped, standing in front of the temple and looking forward.
It was the rainy season. The air is dull and swallows fly low. Every now and then, there will always be scattered raindrops throughout the day. Ah Tian then remembered that the monk's brother didn't bring an umbrella.
This is going to be halfway through, the light rain turns into heavy rain, won't it be a soup chicken?
Ah Tian found an umbrella and followed the pace of the water, eager to catch up. She wanted to scream, but kept her mouth shut. Anyway, she followed behind, as long as she could see the back of the monk's brother, she was also happy.
This walk went from morning to noon.
Ah Tian was a little tired, but the water in front of him was still as strong as flying.
When he arrived at a cluster of willows in front of him, Ah Tian slipped under his feet, fell, and screamed "ouch" in his mouth. Zhaoshui was alert and immediately turned back, and Ah Tian quickly hid into the bushes.
Zhaoshui thought about it, and simply sat down on a rock, opened his baggage, and ate dry food. Then he went to the river with a bowl to get water, and drank it in large gulps.
Ah Tian brought an umbrella, but nothing else.
She was hungry. Looking at the water and eating the steamed buns, my heart was hungry.
After eating enough water, he continued on his way. At dusk, I finally walked to a bridge. After crossing this bridge, there is a place called the town of Caisang in front of you. The people who are not thoughtful to find according to the water practice in the ancient cave not far behind the town.
Ah Tian finally couldn't hold it anymore. She held on to the bridge pole and wanted to rest. Zhaoshui didn't know that there was someone behind him.
At this time, it was really raining in the air. The rain drops become the size of soybean grains. It hits the body, it hurts.
Shine the water went faster.
Ah Tian wanted to call Zhaoshui, but his throat was dry, he couldn't say a word, and his voice was hoarse, so he had to watch Zhaoshui go farther and farther, so that he couldn't see it.
It was only when it was dark that the pouring rain stopped.
According to the water, he entered Caisang Town, but there was no unscrupulous person in the ancient cave. The little boy guarding the entrance of the cave told Zhaoshui that the master had traveled far away, and you were unlucky.
Zhaoshui was very melancholy. He was concerned about Ah Tian, did not stay in the town, borrowed a lantern, and returned the same way.
When I reached the bridge, I saw a man lying there in the dark and hazy ahead. Zhaoshui was startled and thought it was a robber. When he was bold, he walked over, and when the lantern shone on, he was surprised by the water.
How could it be Atian?
He thought he was wrong.
"Ah Tian, Ah Tian ......" Zhaoshui helped her up, calling and calling, extremely nervous. Ah Tian heard it, but his body was limp and weak, so he only nodded his head slightly.
There are so many taboos in the water, kneeling on the bridge, holding Ah Tian in her arms, she is already soaking wet. looked at her forehead again, and it was really hot, and he was even more distressed.
If you have a belly in the water, you have to ask Ah Tian. Why didn't this stupid girl stay in the temple obediently, why did she have to sneak out with him?
Tonight, it seems that I can't go back to the small temple.
He carried Ah Tian on his back and carried a lantern, got off the bridge, searched and searched, and found a dilapidated house. The monk picked up some dead firewood, set up a fire, and roasted it.
Ah Tian was lying by the fire, although he was roasted by the fire, it was not relieved at all, and his head was even hotter.
She was groggy and began to talk nonsense.
I boiled hot water in a bowl and fed Ah Tian a few mouthfuls. Under the reflection of the firelight, Zhaoshui found that Ah Tian's complexion was very different, and many small red dots suddenly appeared on his face, which was a bit like a rash.
Could it be that Ah Tian has smallpox?
That's not good! Zhaoshui didn't have time to think about it, closed his eyes, took off Ah Tian's clothes, and then turned his back and put it next to the fire to roast the fire. The flames were blazing. He dried her clothes in the water, closed his eyes and rubbed them on for her.
"Ah Tian, I'm not blaspheming, don't blame me."
It's done. Zhaoshui extinguished the fire, and then carried Ah Tian on his back and returned to the town. He vaguely remembered that there was a white-bearded man in Caisang Town who was consulting smallpox, but he forgot the location.
After a few tosses, the sky will be bright.
At dawn, there were many residents in Caisang Town who pushed their windows and went out to clean, and they watched a young monk carrying a handsome girl on his back, running all the way. He looked anxious, and asked about the address of Whitebeard Langzhong whenever he met people, which aroused the curiosity of many people, pulled the sleeve of Zhaoshui's coat, and asked long and short questions.
In the crowd, there are still enthusiastic people.
One of them gave Zhaoshui the address, and kindly persuaded him: "You monk, do you know that you have broken the color precept by carrying a girl like this." You need to be vulgar! ”
Shōsui didn't want to explain.
The other person said kindly: "Monk, Na Lang is old, and there is only one hour a day to see a doctor, you need to go early, if it is late and the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, this girl is really going to become a pockmark!" ”
The onlookers all saw that Ah Tian was infected with smallpox.
Caisang Town is dozens of miles away from the small temple of Zhaoshui practice, but the folk customs are very different, very simple, and the treatment of people is also generous.
Zhaoshui successfully found Langzhong. has already missed the hour, and Lang Zhong doesn't want to entertain guests. I thought that Zhaoshui was a flower monk who didn't do his job, and I felt even more disgusted. I can't shine on the water, and if I think about it, I will report the name of an inconsiderate person. "The Taoist chief is an old man of the poor monk, and he has always had dealings with the poor monk. When the poor monk was twelve years old, he also had smallpox once, and he was still bringing the poor monk to the Taoist chief's house. Therefore, the poor monk and the Taoist chief also have a relationship. ”
When Na Langzhong heard this, he changed his attitude. He opened Ah Tian's sleeve, and Zhaoshui was even more shocked.
Ah Tian's arms, neck, and palms were already red and swollen. Ah Tian was even more painful, and his mouth was indiscriminate.
Lang Zhong told Zhaoshui: "Fortunately, you delivered it in time." If it's any later, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”
Zhaoshui was even more anxious, his heart beat violently, and his voice trembled: "Doctor, since it's timely, I think her symptoms are okay with her life, right?" ”
