Du Ruo nodded.

Although the woman recognized the wrong person, she didn't leave, and still said very seriously: "Yujiao is sick, and she has been thin and out of shape in only half a year, all of them are bones, and she comes out to bask in the sun when the weather is good, and she usually doesn't even go out of the door." I thought I saw her just now, which was weird. ”

Du Ruo nodded again.

Then the woman said, "What are you doing sitting here?" ”

"I'm looking for a place to live, I wonder if my aunt knows where there is a house for rent on the street at the right price?" Du Ruo asked.

"I don't know, I don't live on the streets, and I don't do business on the streets."

Du Ruo nodded.

"What are you looking for a house for? Where did the fight come from? Are you on your own? She looked her up and down, puzzled.

Du Ruo was on guard in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I'm waiting for someone here, he should be almost there, I'll go first!" With that, she stood up and walked away.

After some distance, she looked back and saw that the woman was no longer there.

The good shops on the street are all taken away, the big business and the small business are lively and deserted, and the rent of the shop in the middle is the most expensive, and the more remote the rent, the less, but it is much higher than that of Gunan Town.

Du Ruo walked through another street from beginning to end, and when he was dizzy and tired, he decided to stay in an inn for one night.

Before going to bed, she packed her package and found that Su Mingyang had secretly stuffed the one or two pieces of silver into her package at some point. She tied the package again, changed into clean clothes, picked up the medicine bowl that the innkeeper had helped to boil, and drank it in one gulp before falling asleep.

In the next two days, Du Ruo finally found an affordable rent house that was suitable for her.

The house is at the end of Yi Street, it has not been inhabited for a long time, with a shop in front, facing south, and a small yard in the back.

The left side of the shop is next to a teahouse, the teahouse is very clean during the day, and at night there are people talking about it, talking about the excitement and excitement, the voice is louder, and Du Ruo listens to it really clearly.

On the right side of the house is a deep alley, diagonally opposite is the Qinglou, not only noisy during the day, but also lively at night, warblers and swallows, often the door can not be cut off. She saw several men with rat heads and rat brains coming in a hurry, hurrying away, looking around as they walked, which made people very uneasy.

Because the house has not been inhabited for a long time, the yard is overgrown with dead grass, the windows and corners of the house are full of cobwebs, and the table is covered with a thick layer of dust.

It took her two whole days just to clean up the yard of the house, and she put countless basins of water in front and back, until the tables, chairs, and window sills were wiped clean, and although the things were broken and old, they were all spotless.

Du Ruo tried to keep himself busy and not think about those things.

Even so, once I stopped, sat or lay down, I couldn't help but see all kinds of scenes in front of me, and my heart ached over and over again.

At first she was just an outsider.

But slowly, unconsciously walked into the play, and witnessed and experienced a lot of things.

In the evening of the first day, she moved a stool to sit in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and when she heard the sound of talking from the teahouse, the tea guests let out all kinds of sighs and sighs while discussing.

The prosperity of the embroidery village, full of exquisite embroidery, the people of the Meng family...... Overnight, it's all gone!

They said that after the fire, all the members of the Meng family died, dozens of corpses were pulled out of the ashes and carried into the yamen, and officers and soldiers searched the embroidery village and found more than a dozen boxes of belongings.

It is said that this case was hugely implicated in Wei Guogong, Meng Yuanzhou secretly worked for Wei Guogong, uploaded and distributed trade routes were basically unimpeded, opened iron ore smelting weapons and sold them to neighboring countries, and smuggled goods with several small countries in the south that were forbidden to trade by Chu State, making countless huge profits.

Located in a corner of Fengling County, the honeysuckle building is full of countless gold, silver, jewelry, jade, antiques and curiosities, all of which are stored in the huge wealth that Wei Guogong has accumulated over the years. The honeysuckle is all over the house and is under the care of his goddaughter Qin Rui, doing business is actually a big pretense, avoiding people's eyes and ears and confusing everyone!

The Meng family has been used as a tool to make money over the years, probably because they can't bear Wei Guogong's inexhaustible greed, and they want to resist, but they can't fight against Wei Guogong, who has all hands and eyes, and it's too late to stop. In desperation, he burned down the embroidery village and died in despair, collecting all the evidence before he died and handing it over to the government to reveal everything.

After General Gao He led his troops to arrive, he took down the honeysuckle all over the building in one fell swoop, confiscated all the gold, silver and jewelry in the building, and dug out a real gold mountain with a length of five meters and a depth of five meters from under the ground, which was neatly stacked with brilliant gold bricks.

The beautiful and graceful Boss Qin, who was the goddaughter of Wei Guogong, was put in prison.

When the officers and soldiers rushed in to get people, it is said that she was lazily sitting on the couch and eating melon seeds, and the melon seed skin was thrown to the ground. Seeing the officers and soldiers coming in, she was dazed for a long time, and when she learned that all the people in Xiuzhuang had been burned down, she fainted unsteadily.

Hearing those words, Du Ruo suddenly remembered that when she first went to the Honeysuckle Building, she saw Meng Yuanzhou from the stairs, and he asked her: Why are you here?

The tone was as if he was the master there, but he and Qin Rui addressed each other with quite formal respect. At the time, she didn't suspect him, but now that she thinks about it, something is wrong.

Since the honeysuckle is full of buildings to create gold, silver, jewelry and other things, it is inappropriate to be located in Gunan Town, she went twice, it was deserted, the first time there were a few people hanging out, the second time I didn't see irrelevant people, it can be seen that the business is doing, but the business is unknown whether it is good or bad. Meng Yuanzhou told her that there would be big orders from time to time, and she believed it.

She didn't know the details of the case, and she didn't specifically inquire.

The people sitting in the teahouse next to it were gone, and the night was really clean, and Du Ruo recalled the situation with Zhou Ning's mother-in-law.

Every time she felt uncomfortable in the Song family, she ran to her to hide, sometimes for a day.

She cut embroidery patterns, or learned embroidery, or sewed clothes, while Granny Zhou Ning sat on the other side and was busy with herself. When she is free, she will come over to help her spin and cook.

The two couldn't talk a few words, but she also felt comfortable, and treated her as a relative in her heart.

The rice wine brewed by her mother-in-law is also really delicious, and now she has nowhere to find it if she wants to drink it.

As for the Song family, everything about the Song family, she deliberately didn't think about it, her head hurt when she thought about it, and her chest was very tight.

When the play was finally finished, the storyteller slapped the wood, and the listeners departed, and she sat there in the middle of it.

She thought she was happy to decide, but when it came to this day, she realized that people's emotions are not just cut off, but accepted when they say they are accepted.

She paid a month's rent for this shop, and she didn't have any money on her.

The next day the door was locked, and Du Ruo went from the city to Qingyang Temple.

Fortunately, all the money earned was put in Master Zhenluo's place in advance, and he was asked to help keep it. If not, when she left that day, Song Jinhua opened her package and carefully flipped through it, and she would definitely turn it over for her.

When I arrived at Qingyang Temple, the wide ground in the temple was clean, and there seemed to be a lot of people who came to offer incense. The incident that happened in the temple more than half a year ago seems to have been forgotten.

She was led into a monk's room by a monk, and Master Zhenluo was sitting cross-legged in the room reading the scriptures, and when he saw that it was her, he looked up and looked at her with a smile.

"Master Zhenluo." She folded her hands in a salute.

"You're here?" Master Zhenluo's voice was loud.

"Well, sorry to keep you waiting." She sat down, emotion.

"Go and fetch the silver that the benefactor has deposited here." Shinra said to the monk standing next to him.

The monk answered.

"I wonder how the female benefactor is now?"

"It's kind of a jump out of the cage, although it's unclear when things are complicated. But no matter what, I don't think I'll give up on living well. Du Ruo said.

"Amitabha."

"Thank you Master Zhenluo, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't think I will come in the future, so I can say goodbye to the past."

After all, what happened to her in the temple before, she didn't really want to recall.

"May the benefactor have a worry-free and safe future." Mana Road.

After Du Ruo got the silver, he stood up, saluted him again, and walked outside.

Master Zhenluo got up and walked outside the door and watched Du Ruo leave.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his room, the monk next to him whispered a few words to him, Zhenluo bowed, stepped down the steps, and walked towards the front hall.

The Buddha hall temple of Qingyang Temple is very grandiose, the hall is full of incense all day long, the Bodhisattva Arhat Buddha painted on the wall is in different forms, the auspicious clouds are surging in the meantime, solemn and solemn.

Zhenluo walked into the side hall, looked at the back of the green shirt sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle, showed compassion, and looked up at a Buddha statue hanging in the middle of the main hall.

Incense was burning on the Buddha platform, and the smoke was filling, making the Buddha statue even more insignificant and solemn.

Zhenra walked up to him, said 'Amitabha' in his mouth, and bowed to him again.

"Master Song, have you ever eaten fast in the temple?" Mana Road.

In the past few days, he has come every day, either walking around the halls to admire the murals, or sitting down without saying a word and looking at the Buddha statues, not knowing what he is thinking.

Seeing that he looked tired, his eyes were hollow, his lips and tongue were dry, he must have been sitting here for a long time.

"If the Buddha can overcome all the sufferings in the world, why doesn't he cross me?" Song Ju'an asked, he was sitting there, although he was talking to Zhenluo, he still looked up at the Buddha statue.

Zhenluo's gaze followed his gaze again, and said: "There are many sufferings in the world, the world is full of sorrows, all living beings, the Buddha cannot be crossed, and the donor is better than self-ferried." ”

Song Ju'an sneered, as if mocking.

"All sentient beings have become Buddhas, and all sentient beings are confused and upside down and do not become enlightened, but if they can give up their delusions and attachments, and turn into enlightenment, they can be liberated." Zhenluo said slowly.

"Who is the person who painted the Buddha statue?" Song Ju'an asked.

"Please forgive Lord Song for not being able to comment."

"If you don't say it, I know that the person who painted it is my wife, and she won't let you tell anyone."

Zhenluo was surprised for a moment, but he didn't say anything else, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
