Chapter 46: The Old Truth

After coaxing Ouyang Lan to return to the bedroom, it was already dinner time, the sunset was still as before a layer of crimson, Jade had already prepared a light tonic meal, after Lin Yun'er used up, she went to the crape myrtle room to explore her situation, and then went back to the room to rest early, the night was very quiet, only the sound of summer cicadas in the mountains and forests could be heard, perhaps because the county lord had set up a tent in the back mountain in the past few days, many summer cicadas began to stop calling, which made the night in the forest more and more quiet. Lin Yun'er tossed and turned, tomorrow she will know the truth about killing the abbot and trapping her in the ice cellar, that child is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, which is a good age, but what? How......

During the next solar eclipse, the monk Huiliang arrived as scheduled, and Lin Yun'er set up a seat under the porch, and made him a pot of tea in the dappled sunlight.

At this time, Huiliang seemed to be much older, and when he saw him that day, he seemed to have just shaved his beard, but today he has a full beard, his face is dull, his eyes are also godless, and his old monk's robe is now full of wrinkles, as if he has never taken good care of it.

"The benefactor summoned the poor monk to come, it should be for the case a few days ago." Hui Liang took a sip of tea, "Presumably the donor already knows who the real culprit is." ”

He said extremely plainly, as if these things had nothing to do with him, Lin Wan'er sat down and said, "Master Huiliang is credible?" ”

Hui Liang put down the cup in his hand and smiled bitterly, "What about the letter?" What if you don't believe it? That child's life was too bitter. He paused, "Lord Huang Shi wants to hear the story?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Twenty years ago, there was a monk in the temple because he didn't know what to pick up and was driven down the mountain by the master to do a foot monk, how do you know that the monk met a robber on the way, almost died, and then met a tea lady to rescue, the tea lady was an orphan girl, no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, the monk planned to stay and take care of her for a while, but did not want to have feelings for each other, the monk knew that he had broken the precepts, he did not plan to return to the temple, how to know, two years later, the tea lady actually left a book and left him, the book was full of admonitions, teaching him not to forget the teacher's kindness, Finally, the monk straightened his robe and returned to the monastery, and personally confessed his sins in front of the master, saying that he had broken the vows, and the master personally shortened his arm to punish him, and then ordered him to copy the scriptures to atone for his sins. ”

He stopped, staring at the teacups on a few sons, unable to distract for a long time, Lin Wan'er said softly, "Master Huiliang is the monk in the story?" "This is the most ordinary story, I think there will be it in the book on the market, if it is in the future life, I am afraid that everyone will despise and dislike it, because it is too ordinary, too familiar. It's just that Lin Yun'er really heard such a story, and it really made waves in her heart.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Exactly." He paused, "What I didn't expect was that on the second day, I heard that Master had adopted two children, one of which he had adopted as a disciple, and the other had been sent to Wenjing Pavilion. ”

"What is that kid?"

"Yes, the child who was sent to Wenjing Pavilion is a poor monk." Hui Liang said, "Master layman has a younger brother, a Jiangyang thief, who was chased and killed and separated from his wife at that time, so he sent his child to the temple in the hope that Master would adopt him, and Master adopted him as a disciple. "It turns out that what Xiao Liuda heard is not all the truth, and Yuan Jie is not Long Wu's.

"So, the abbot should be his benefactor, why did he kill him?" At this point in the story, Lin Yun'er still didn't hear anything about the motive for killing the abbot.

Hui Liang swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know when, he learned about his background, so he came to the poor monk to question, and the poor monk told him everything. It's just that, somehow, he thinks that it was the master who ruined his life, making him fatherless and motherless in this life. Therefore, some different ideas came to my heart. ”

"The poor monk was punished, and he was persuaded, he seemed to be taught, so he didn't mention it anymore, he thought that the matter was over, but he didn't want to, he really went to do it." Hui Liang smiled bitterly, "Everything is the fault of the poor monk. ”

Lin Wan'er comforted him, "Master Huiliang doesn't have to blame himself too much, in this world, there will be right and wrong, and only when you pick it up will you put it down, if you blindly think about it, then there is really no right place." She paused, "I wonder who told him everything?" ”

"Since he was a child, he didn't want to make friends with people, and the poor monks didn't know it." Huiliang said.

Lin Wan'er said in a low voice, "And no matter who it is, he still knows after all, Master Huiliang mourns." ”

"The cycle of cause and effect, the poor monk has let go." After a while, Huiliang raised his head to look at the sky, then slowly got up, put his five fingers together on his chest, and sang a Buddha name, "Amitabha, today I said frankly to the donor, the poor monk instantly let go of a lot, and the time is not early, and the poor monk will leave." ”

Lin Yun'er also got up immediately and bowed goodbye, "Thank you Master Huiliang for clarifying your doubts and sending Master Huiliang to you." ”

Hui Liang stopped talking, turned around and put on monk's shoes, and walked towards the courtyard gate step by step, a gust of wind blew, raising his empty sleeves, as if all this was empty, Lin Yun'er saw him to the door, and only sighed in his heart. Hui Liang walked to the front of the Buddha hall and stood still, bowed deeply to the man in the Buddha hall, the man turned around and saluted him back, the shadow of the tree was mottled, what could not be kept was the endless bitterness in his heart, Hui Liang chuckled, turned around and walked away.

Lin Yun'er sat down immediately, and she sighed endlessly in her heart, all these grievances and grievances were just a thought, she couldn't tell whether Yuan Jie was too persistent or Huiliang was too selfish, or the abbot was too ruthless.

Thinking about it this way, then only Huixin could be born to the lady who married Long Wu. Time passed, and she didn't know how Long Wu would feel if she knew the truth, but if she didn't tell him, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

At this time, Xiao Wu was passing by with a wooden barrel, and she stopped him, "Where is Long Wu?" ”

Xiao Wu stopped, put down the barrel, and saluted, "Back to the lady's words, Longwu is not here these days, the slave thought, he should go to recuperate his injuries, that day the slave looked at him covered in blood." ”

Yes, that day, at the gate of the Shoulu Courtyard, she had a glimpse of the situation in the courtyard, Long Wu was dragged out, maybe he was tortured, and then he stayed in the courtyard for seven days, with his character, I am afraid that he is hiding in a corner to heal himself. Lin Yun'er sighed lightly, not everyone can control the affairs of this world, just let it be.

She got up slowly, but met the neatly dressed Ouyang Lan walking from the corner gate of the backyard, she lived in a tent in the back mountain, if she wanted to enter the Buddha hall, she had to enter through the corner door of the backyard, only to see that her dress and head and face seemed to be extremely formal, not like normal clothes.

Ouyang Lan stopped by Lin Yun'er's side, and she asked Lin Yun'er, "Shan'er, is the master here?" She is different from the laughter and innocence of the past, now she is so upright, she really has the appearance of a county lord, there are three golden hairpins on the left and right of her head, each of which has a gold tassel falling, looking extremely solemn, Lin Yun'er thought, this is only the county lord's dress.

Lin Yun'er looked in the direction of the Buddha hall, Master Fang seemed to be cleaning the Buddha hall, and now she should be chanting the scriptures and worshiping the Buddha in the meditation room, she said, "About not in the meditation room." ”

Ouyang Lan gave her an unprecedented thank you gift, which made Lin Yun'er look at Yingge beside her very flattered, Yingge stood with her ears and eyes, nose and nose, and looked very respectful, and Lin Yun'er returned the salute according to the routine.

Ouyang Lan was extremely unaccustomed to reaching out to cover her mouth and said, "After many days of bothering, you should come to visit." ”

Looking at her extremely uncomfortable appearance, Lin Yun'er wanted to laugh very much, but she still held back, she flashed around and said, "Mrs. Shi is an easy-going person, just let the county lord have his mind." Immediately, she motioned for Ouyang Lan to come over.

Seeing Ouyang Lan's back, she turned around and thought that she was going to go to Ziwei's room to take a look, after so many days, it was time to wake up, and she hadn't walked to the door yet, Jade came out of Ziwei's room with a smile, looking at her expression, afraid that Ziwei was awake, and sure enough, she heard Jade say, "Lady, Ziwei is awake." ”

Lin Yun'er lifted her skirt and walked to Ziwei, which was the best of all the news she had heard in the past few days, but when she arrived at the door, she heard Ziwei urgently asking Imperial Doctor Zhang, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, tell me quickly, how is my lady?" ”

"Don't panic, little lady, give your wrist to the old man first. Don't move. Imperial Doctor Zhang patiently admonished.

But Ziwei protected her wrist to death, "If the imperial doctor doesn't say it today, then the slave won't look at it." Where the lady is, the slave and maid are there. ”

This said that he was almost so angry that Imperial Doctor Zhang blew his beard, he stretched out his finger and pointed at her again and again, "You little lady is so rude, but the old man is the imperial doctor appointed by the sage, and the medical virtue is in the body, how can you say that you won't see it if you encounter illness?" ”

Lin Yun'er smiled lightly and walked in, "Okay girl, don't embarrass Imperial Doctor Zhang." ”

As soon as she heard this, Ziwei suddenly sat up, her eyes full of tears, "Lady, the slave is not dreaming, right?" It's good you're okay! ”

"yes, we're all right." Lin Yun'er said patiently, "Hurry up and let Imperial Doctor Zhang show you, if there is something missing, I won't want it." ”

Ziwei cried and laughed, "That's not it, if the slave maid is missing something, she has to follow the lady to death." As she spoke, she obediently stretched out her hand.

"You girl, blame the lady for worrying, the lady has come to see you since she woke up, if you are still so willful, the old slave will give Mrs. to remove your position as the big girl." Jade also said on the side.

"What?" Ziwei was surprised and delighted, "Madame actually let the slave maid be a big maid?" She turned to Lin Yun'er, "Lady, is it true?" ”

Lin Wan'er nodded with satisfaction.

I thought she would hold back her tears, but she didn't want to, she cried more and more, and her tears were like water opening the floodgates, and she couldn't hold them back. Imperial Doctor Zhang stroked his beard, withdrew his hand to check the pulse, and said to Lin Wan'er expressionlessly, "Lady, your slave is fine. ”

Lin Yun'er, "There is Lao Zhang's imperial doctor." ”

"The old man is going to prescribe a prescription, the old man is old, he can't hear the cry, if the old man stays for a while, I'm afraid this house will be flooded by your slave." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and hurried out of the house.

Looking at his sturdy back, Lin Yun'er smiled, this Imperial Doctor Zhang is still an interesting old man.

Hearing Imperial Doctor Zhang's arrangement, Ziwei immediately stopped crying, she wiped her tears, and wanted to get out of bed to thank her, but she didn't want her legs to be a little numb. Lin Yun'er immediately stopped her movements and said, "Let's get out of bed in a few days." ”

"Lady, you're so nice." Ziwei couldn't help but want to cry again, but she still stopped her tears.

Jade hurriedly said, "Okay, the lady is tired, don't disturb the lady to rest, you take care of it, and serve the lady well in the future." ”

"Whoa!" Crape myrtle responded crisply.
