Chapter 17: Burning Incense (3)

Fei saw Xia Ruixi looking at him, and squeezed his eyes at her, Xia Rui hurriedly opened his eyes and pretended not to see anything.

Ou Sishao ignored Xia Ruibei with a gloomy face, and went to pull Ah Ke and whispered, "Ah Ke, be obedient, let's go." Ah Ke's feet seemed to have roots, and he stood still, just glaring at Xia Ruibei viciously, as if he wanted to devour her alive. How unfair this world is, even in front of the Bodhisattva, there is too much resentment in his heart, and he urgently needs to find a place to vent it, Xia Ruibei just hit his knife.

Xia Ruibei didn't know what kind of psychology she had, and when she saw Ou Sishao ignoring her, she couldn't help but say anxiously: "Why are you all coming at me?" The person who made the incense was not me, it was my second sister, she ......"

"Shut up! You go back to the sedan chair for me immediately! The fourth aunt wife saw Xia Ruibei arguing with a few young men, without manners, and said such a thing, and made her own bottom clean, so that she couldn't pretend to be faint if she wanted to, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and asked the mother-in-law next to her to invite Miss Sanbiao to get into the sedan chair, thinking that when she went back, she would tell Master Xia that she would clean up this girl who had no rules and no brains, and let her know what rules and etiquette were and what was the duty of a woman.

Xia Ruibei couldn't help it, so she had to get on the sedan chair with a snort.

There was a lot of noise here, and Ruixi, the party concerned, thought that the opportunity to burn this incense stick was extremely disgraceful, and he hid in the shadows and stood with his back, embarrassed to turn back, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Mrs. Fourth Aunt thought that today's incident was also a little disgraceful to her family, and she didn't want to offend the Ou family, since she couldn't pretend to be in the past, it was better to make her words clear and say directly: "Nephew, since everything has been said about this, I will make it clear." This incense stick is indeed something my family wants to go up to, just because her father asked for a sign for her here a year ago, saying that if she doesn't come to this incense, she will be worried about her life. As a last resort, we had to be cheeky and bother to entrust people to do this. Although it is disgraceful, I also ask my nephew to be considerate of her parents' loving hearts, and not to be like us. If you have sinned, I am here to apologize to you. "It's really a blessing to say.

Xia Ruixi is a person, so naturally he has to follow the blessing.

Ou Sishao sighed and returned the salute: "The little nephew does not mean to blame." If you don't burn this incense, we may not be able to burn it, after all, there are so many people who want to burn it. "He brought Ah Ke to incense this time, and without the support of his family, he naturally couldn't call the name of the Ou family. Like many ordinary pilgrims, he had already lived in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but was suddenly asked to move out three days earlier. The others had already descended the mountain, and only they were generous and dead-faced, so they relied on these few days, and finally were swept away this morning. This made him deeply understand that he was nothing without the Ou family, and he couldn't even satisfy Ah Ke's small wish.

Mrs. Gu nodded: "The nephew is reasonable, your kindness, our family remembers it." Xixi, come here, your fourth brother Ou and this little brother say thank you. ”

Xia Ruixi was busy and deeply blessed. Ou Sishao waved his hand: "Second sister doesn't have to be like this. Hurry up. Ah Ke stubbornly twisted his head to the side in disdain. That Mu Fei touched his chin. He whispered a few words in the ears of the two of them.

Ou Si looked at Ah Ke inquiringly, only to see that Ah Ke pretended not to care on his face. But there was a glint of hope in his eyes. Then he turned back to Mrs. Fourth Aunt and gave a deep sigh, "Mrs. Wu." The little nephew has a reluctant request. ”

He realized that Mrs. Xia was thinking about how to make up for them. Seeing that he took the initiative to speak, he smiled: "The nephew doesn't have to be polite. As long as I can do it. Must do it. ”

Ou Sishao said: "There is no other." It's just that the mountain temple does not accept other guests now. If we come up again tomorrow morning. I'm afraid it's too late. We've come all the way. Even if it can't be incense. You can also burn two sticks of incense. Three sticks of incense. Madame, can you talk to the local monk in the temple? How many of us ......? ”

As long as you don't compete with Xia Ruixi, you will be incense. Then it's easy to say anything. The fourth aunt agreed with a smile on the spot. Xia Ruibei heard in the sedan chair that her second stick of incense was given to someone by Mrs. Fourth Aunt so easily. The silver teeth were crushed. I can't rely on anyone just thinking about this. Obviously in the morning, Master Xia told Mrs. Fourth Aunt that she was going to burn two incense sticks. The fourth aunt forgot so quickly. There is only Xia Ruixi's incense in his heart.

The team starts again. Only this time a few more young men were added to the ranks. Xia Ruixi's soles of his feet are getting bigger and bigger. Sweat soaked on sunburned skin. The fire burns and hurts. The legs are also weak. Walk up and down. It's miserable. Wan'er said, "Miss." Shall I help you? ”

Before Xia Ruixi could speak, Ah Ke made a fuss and said, "Let people help you up?" Didn't go up on your own? Can a bodhisattva appreciate this? If you don't have this ability, don't think about incense? ”

The corners of Ou Sishao's mouth twitched, but he lowered his head and didn't speak, Xia Ruixi gritted his teeth and pushed Wan'er away, "I'll go by myself." ”

After holding on for a long time, Xia Ruixi's legs were as heavy as lead, basically stumbling, she couldn't walk fast, others couldn't walk fast, and the servants who followed her dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only sigh and vaguely express a little dissatisfaction. Ou Sishao and the others can obviously go faster, they don't have to wait for her, they don't go fast, and from time to time they have to stimulate Xia Ruixi with a few words, as if they deliberately stayed to see her jokes.

Xia Ruixi's face was ugly, she also wanted to walk like a fly, and be angry with these bastards, especially that damn Ah Ke, but her legs didn't listen to the command of her brain, so she had to swallow her anger, and she had to pretend that she didn't understand what people were laughing at her. Chun'er dug in the grass beside the road for a long time, dug out a half-human-high branch left by the predecessors when they climbed the mountain, wrapped it with a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Ruixi: "Miss, you just use it as a crutch."

It's better to walk. ”

Xia Ruixi nodded, his hand was just next to the branch, and Ah Ke's strange words came again: "Bah, fourth brother, why do you suddenly have an extra leg?" Three-legged? What is the three-legged one? Toad? No, the toad is four-legged. Guess what, what's the three-legged one? Guessed, the master has a reward. ”

The servants of the Ou family are also very angry in their hearts, they have been the ministers of the Ou family for generations, who does not look down on them, and now they are defeated in the hands of such a family that has never even been a petty official, so they have to be unconvinced. They all cooperated with Ah Ke and let out a low laugh: "The minions can't guess what the young master told the minions." ”

Xia Ruixi hated itchy, but his face was very thick, he pretended not to hear anything, clenched the branch in his hand, and sped up under his feet.

Chun'er cleared her throat and said to the tree, "Huh? Sister Wan'er, these crows in the trees are really noisy. ”

Wan'er was also dizzy, looking around: "Where are the crows?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Chun'er smiled proudly: "There! Look, there are several two-legged crows, croaking while jumping. ”

Xia Ruixi didn't stop, and burst out laughing. Mu Fei laughed even more vividly.

Ah Ke turned his head angrily and glared at Chun'er, who didn't see anything, was indifferent, and walked on his own. Ou Sishao frowned: "Ah Ke, it's almost." Ah Ke glared at Xia Ruixi stupidly: "Pampered." I can't walk even if I walk a little. The fourth brother is faster, and if he continues to grind like this, he won't be able to walk in the dark.

Without waiting for the others, he went to the front person in a huff.

Xia Ruixi finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple before the dark, and she almost stumbled, staggering, and stepped into the door with a golden star in her eyes. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the twilight is really beautiful tiles and white walls, hidden in a blooming peach blossom, if it is not for the big "Buddha" word, people have to think that it is a separate courtyard from which house.

The monk stretched his neck there and waited, and when he saw that the fourth aunt was dressed gorgeously and majestic, he went straight to the fourth aunt and wife: "The female benefactor and the poor monk thought that she would not come." ”

The fourth aunt said solemnly: "How can such a big thing be done child's play?" She pointed at Xia Ruixi: "Because she is delicate and walked up the mountain by herself, it is late." ”

Xia Ruixi blushed, and secretly vowed to exercise regularly in the future, otherwise, her body would not be able to run away in troubled times.

Zhike monk took a closer look at Xia Ruixi, and saw that her sideburns were soaked with sweat, standing in the corner, although she tried her best to maintain a good standing posture, her legs couldn't stop trembling slightly, which showed that she really came up on her own. Then he put his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, this female benefactor is really not easy, last year there was also a female benefactor who wanted to come to the incense, climbed half of the mountain, couldn't move, and was still carried up in a sedan chair." With the sincerity of the female benefactor, the Bodhisattva will also have a little more mercy. He also said, "When the temple received the order of the nobles, it cleaned the house and prepared the meal, and everything was ready." Ask the donor to see if there is anything else needed, and the poor monk will go and prepare it immediately. ”

Mrs. Fourth Aunt nodded, and glanced at the mother-in-law beside her, who took out a sandalwood box from her arms and offered it with both hands: "Master, this is the incense that our young lady worships the Bodhisattva." ”

The monk thanked him, and ordered the little monk next to him to take it, and the little monk peeked at the silver ticket of six thousand taels, and couldn't help but smile. The monk only looked at the face of the little monk, and knew that it was a lot of money, and became more and more kind and respectful, and was busy arranging everyone's accommodation, and ordered the best vegetarian fast. In a blink of an eye, I saw a few people from Ou Si, and remembered that these people had been entangled here for a long time in the morning, and they were scolded by themselves, so why did they come with the distinguished guests at this time? couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

The fourth aunt and wife observed the words, and said with a smile: "This is my nephew, it's late today, let them bother here for a night, and then go down the mountain tomorrow morning after the incense, I don't know if the master can arrange it conveniently?" ”

The monk who knew the guest had originally listened to the arrangement of the Rui Wangfu, and asked him to arrange it, only allowing the Xia family to burn incense, isn't this crowd driving people out for the sake of the Xia family? Now that the Xia family has opened their mouths, what will he say? smiled at the moment: "Convenient, convenient." Immediately, he arranged for someone to lead Ou Sishao and others to rest and eat, and said to Ou Sishao: "Childe, the poor monk has offended a lot before, and I also ask Lord Gongzi not to worry about the poor monk." ”

Ou Sishaopi nodded with a smile, said goodbye to Mrs. Si Gu and followed the little monk.

Xia Ruixi was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he was dizzy, and when he saw that the exquisite fragrance on the table was no less than the vegetarian rice carefully cooked in his own kitchen, he couldn't control his saliva. As soon as Mrs. Sigu announced the start of eating, she took out the effort of eating in the cafeteria to grab food in college, and flew down two bowls of vegetarian rice and a bowl of soup, only to find that Mrs. Sigu and Xia Ruibei were staring at her tightly. Knowing that he was eating ugly, he showed his feet, and couldn't help laughing: "This meal is so delicious." I'm so hungry. ”

Xia Ruibei pouted and said, "No one is robbing you." The hungry ghost is reincarnated, ugly to death, this mountain climbing really makes you so hungry? ”

The fourth aunt and wife thought that Xia Ruixi had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never suffered this kind of hardship, and it was normal to eat more when she was hungry, so she didn't go to her heart and just lightly ordered: "No matter how hungry you are, you have to pay attention to your demeanor, chew and swallow slowly, what is the difference between you and that rough peasant woman?" Remember to be graceful and graceful at all times and in all places, you know? ”

"Yes, my aunt taught me a very good lesson. The niece will not do it again. Xia Ruixi bowed his head and made a small gesture.

Mrs. Sigu nodded: "You go to take a bath and clean your clothes, rest early, and someone will wake you up early tomorrow morning to burn incense." ”

Xia Ruixi retired, walked out of the door to see that there were no outsiders around, and the little monk did not see a single person in the temple in order to avoid suspicion, it is generally not allowed

When he came to the place where the female guest lived, he relaxed his body and mind, and collapsed in Wan'er and hummed: "I'm tired, I'm tired." ”

Wan'er is not pampered than Chun'er, and she is too tired to do it, where can she afford to support Xia Ruixi? But she didn't dare to say that she was tired, she gritted her teeth and helped Xia Ruixi, and her legs couldn't stop shaking: "Miss, didn't Mrs. Gu say that there is any good medicine for you?" The slave and the maid are coming. I'll give it to you as soon as you're done, okay? ”

How did Xia Ruixi know that Wan'er's voice was about to die: "You go, you go." ”

A mother-in-law came over and said, "Miss, how about the old slave come to help you?" Xia Ruixi smelled a large smell of sweat on this mother-in-law's body, wrinkled her nose and shook her head with disgust, hung on Chun'er's body and walked slowly to the small courtyard assigned to her.

Seeing the figure of Xia Ruixi's master and servant disappear into the depths of the peach blossom forest, he pouted and said, "See?" Big Brother Mu? If you still say she's tough, I'll say she's pretending. Look at her like that, she can't climb on top of the maid and have people carry her back. Why did you say I was so angry? It's not that I'm impulsive, this girl's eyes are so hateful! She provoked me. Don't look at her for not being angry, it's much more hateful and insidious than her girl named Quack. ”

Mu Fei looked left and right: "The scenery here is good." I never get tired of it. Oh, by the way, Qing Jin, since the Xia family invited us here, we don't want to pay for this room and board, right? ”

Ou Qing smiled and said: "I see that the aunt of the Xia family is generous, and I am embarrassed to ask us again if I want to come to the monk to see Qian Yankai." ”

Mu Fei smiled: "So, the idea is mine, how about giving me the money you saved?" ”

Ou Qing smiled: "Okay, it's just a son, not much, is it enough?" If it's not enough, I'll let Fu'er take some more? ”

"That's enough." Mu Fei took a tael of silver handed over by Ou Qingjin's little servant Fu'er, "I have something to go down the mountain, see you tomorrow morning." ”

"Brother Mu, where do you want more?" Ah Ke hurriedly pulled Mu Fei's sleeve, and when he grabbed it, Mu Fei was already floating two feet away.

Ah Ke looked at the direction where Mu Fei disappeared, "Fourth brother, if only I had the ability of Brother Mu." ”

"What's so good?"

"I don't have to suffer from this filth anymore. I have a skill, where can I go? What can't you have? Seeing Ou Qingjin shaking his head, Ah Ke said unconvinced: "Did I say something wrong?" Brother Mu's skills are not good, huh? ”

"You're wrong. Ah Ke, your big brother Mufei's ability is good, not only because he has excellent martial arts, but also because of the strength of his heart. If you have self-confidence, you will no longer be furious because of an unintentional look and an unintentional word from others. Got it? ”

Ah Ke knew that he was saying that his reaction to Sister Xia Ruixi during the day was a little excessive, and he was extremely impatient, and said perfunctorily: "I know, I'm going to sleep." I'm going to have to wake up early tomorrow. ”

**Dividing Line**

After Xia Ruixi bathed three times, he changed into a light robe and lay on the couch to dry his hair. Wan'er took the ointment she asked for from Mrs. Sigu to wipe her face, Mrs. Sigu's ointment was white, with a faint mint fragrance, but after wiping her face, the effect was not as obvious as Mrs. Sigu said, and the sunburned skin still hurt. It's good to have sunburn cream, or it's wrong to have cucumber slices and cold compresses, but in this season, in this era, where can you find it? Xia Ruixi thought of the benefits of his previous life, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chun'er opened the sewing kit and took a needle, roasted it on the lamp, and squatted on the ground to pick up the blisters on Xia Ruixi's feet: "Miss, there are several big bubbles, one of them has been worn out, and a large piece of skin has been removed, and they are all bleeding." Luckily you won't have to walk tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to walk down the mountain. ”

Hearing this, Xia Ruixi lifted his legs, broke his feet in front of him and took a look, and a large piece of skin was removed from his left foot, revealing the pink tender flesh inside, and the capillaries were clearly visible, and some pale yellow serum was coming out. looked at the strange and scary, and couldn't help but gasp.

Chun'er took some medicinal powder and put it on her, put on clean socks for her, and said with a smile: "Miss is really, it didn't hurt when I cleaned it up just now, I didn't hear you snort, but it hurts when I clean it up now."

Wan'er saw that Xia Ruixi did not have a displeased look, and boldly leaned over and smiled: "Miss, it doesn't hurt, it hurts to watch." Scare yourself. ”

Xia Ruixi said: "Speaking of me, don't you have blistering?" Doesn't it hurt? ”

Chun'er shook her head: "The slave is used to it, it doesn't hurt." ”

Although Wan'er had a smile on her face, she was standing on the ground with her left foot and her right foot, Xia Ruixi understood it, knowing that she was not as good as Chun'er, she must be tired. Then he said: "I'm drying my hair, you guys also go wash and soak your feet, and come back when you're done, everyone goes to bed early." ”

Chun'er said: "Sister Wan'er go first, I'll guard here." ”

Xia Ruixi drove her away: "Isn't there still a mother-in-law guarding outside?" If something happens, I call them, go and come back quickly. ”

As soon as Wan'er and Chun'er went out, Xia Ruixi's eyelids began to fight, and her brain began to dizzy, so she simply pulled the bed thin quilt over her body at random, and fell asleep dizzily on the couch. was sleeping well, the door creaked, Xia Ruibei hurriedly walked in and pushed her violently: "You are still sleeping!" Can you sleep? ”

Xia Ruixi was startled, his heart was pounding, and he sat up suddenly: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
