244. Descend the mountain

When I went back to the meditation room and lay down, my eyes were dry and painful, and I wanted to swear to God that I would reverse the current situation, but I could take him away, how could I heal his broken arm and the wounds in his heart?

I stayed up all night, and when the day dawned, I turned over and got up, I don't know if I felt a little dizzy, and as soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in my face, which made me shiver with excitement. I walked to the window of Xiaotong's room to see if he was awake, but when I saw that the room was empty, I couldn't help but be shocked, where did the person go? I immediately pushed the door in, and the battered wooden bed quilt was half on top and half dragged to the ground, and when I stepped forward, there was no temperature at all, and it was obvious that the person had been gone for a while.

Panicked, all kinds of bad thoughts swirling in my mind, I was most afraid that Xiaotong would sneak away at night when I was defenseless, then it would be difficult for me to find him again, because he would definitely avoid me and hide.

When I was anxious, one of the two guards left by Ah Ping quickly came into sight and told me that Xiao Tong had gotten up and swept the floor before the fifth watch, while the other person was watching. It should have been Ah Ping's instructions to them when he left, and I was relieved, but he was thoughtful.

After a brief freshening up, I went to find Xiaotong, and found him in the backyard of the temple, the empty yard was full of dead leaves, and immediately after sweeping, the leaves that were blown down by the wind fell to the ground.

Seeing me coming, Xiaotong only glanced lightly, and continued to sweep the fallen leaves. After watching for a while, it was obvious that it was inconvenient to have one arm, and to change a tool to change things, but he took the trouble to repeat those simple acts.

I dismissed the idea of stepping forward to help, first of all, he would not appreciate it, and secondly, the reality was already like this, and even if I regretted not doing it at the beginning, I could not go back to before the accident. I should not think about how to persuade him to leave with me, with my understanding of his temperament it is a matter of time, I am sure of this, otherwise he will not stay in vain, he just can't get over the knot in his heart for a while, and all the sorrow has nowhere to put it.

When he figures it out, he'll soften and he'll be able to listen to me.

What I should really think about is his future path and how he should arrange his future life. One thing I noticed was that Xiaotong's body seemed to be getting better, it was so cold at night and so cold in the morning, he was so thinly dressed except that his face was a little unhealthy and pale.

On the contrary, my nose was choked by the cold wind for a while, and my body shivered. A black fur shirt came up from behind, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Ah Ping, and I didn't even notice when he came.

"Have you eaten?" He asked with a frown after brushing my face.

I shook my head, but I felt dizzy after shaking my head, and I heard Ah Ping say in my ear again: "Come with me to eat, Xiao Yuan'er is also here." I was stunned, "Why did you bring Yuan'er too?" It's so cold on this mountain, he can't freeze it. ”

"When I went back, he kept clamoring to find you, cried all night and waited for me to answer before falling asleep, waking up early in the morning and waiting there, do you think I can not bring him?" Ah Ping paused after telling what happened, and said: "What's more, he has never been out of the house, and taking him out can also broaden his horizons." ”

"......" a one-year-old child? Broaden your horizons? It's too early.

Mindfulness turned and heard Yan Qi's voice coming from far and near, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yuan'er running crookedly, and when he saw me, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Lan, find, find!" "It means that I have finally been found.

was about to step forward, but in the blink of an eye, he found that Xiaotong had stopped what he was doing, and was standing in place looking over here, with a shocked expression, obviously unable to figure out how a little baby could come. In the moment of hesitation, Yuan'er hit my leg headlong, and unfortunately hit my knee that was hurt by Xiaotong with a broom yesterday. I checked it at night, my knees were black, I walked with pain, and then I was hit by Xiao Yuan'er frizzily, and the pain made my face pale.

Ah Ping's complexion sank, and when he came over, he scooped up Yuan'er from behind and held him in his arms, and Yuan'er stretched out his arms to me and looked very aggrieved. I didn't rush to "save" the bad boy, my afterglow has been observing Xiaotong's reaction, and I took advantage of this time to teach Yuan'er: "Xiao Yuan'er, he is your uncle, call him uncle." ”

The title of "uncle" is a new term for Xiao Yuan'er, and after hearing me say this, my eyes widened and I stared at Xiao Tong. But Xiaotong was shocked after listening to me, and asked me with a look of disbelief: "Who is he?" ”

Looking into his eyes, he asked back, "Who else can call your uncle?" ”

"You mean...... Have you had a baby? ”

"That's right," I nodded in agreement, "he's your nephew, Yuan'er, just over two months old." ”

Xiao Tong looked at Yuan'er in a daze, his expression was still a little disbelieving, but Yuan'er looked excited and curious after listening to my words, and fluttered and wanted to slide off Ah Ping's arms. Finally, as soon as his father's hand was loosened, he let him succeed, and when he slid to the ground, he ran away, and when he staggered to Xiaotong, he raised his head and shouted with a smile: "Uncle, uncle." ”

Xiao Tong was shocked, and it seemed that my statement was not as big as the impact of Xiao Yuan'er's "uncle".

He looked completely helpless and took a step back. And Xiao Yuan'er didn't feel the other party's retreat, and thought that Xiao Tong was playing with him, so he staggered over after laughing, and kept saying "uncle" in his mouth.

Yuan'er pounced directly when he was only a foot away, and hugged Xiaotong's knees, and at the same time startled Xiaotong, and let go of the hand that was holding the broom. I was shocked, and the broom fell towards the top of Xiao Yuan'er's head!

The feet instinctively ran over, but the distance away was a little far, how could this timely reaction be in time. Just when the broom handle was about to hit Yuan'er's head, Xiaotong suddenly reached out to block it, and opened it and fell to the ground, making a snapping sound.

I was still stunned, but Yuan'er didn't seem to hear it, because he found that Xiaotong's left sleeve swing without an arm was pulling and shaking there. Seeing Xiaotong's face change, he bent down and pushed Yuan'er away in the next moment, and although Yuan'er could walk, his feet were still unstable, and he sat directly on the ground by being pushed like this.

He was not frightened, and turned his head to look left and right, probably feeling a pain in his butt after a while, and no one was going to help him, so he finally cried.

Ah Ping was just about to step forward but was stopped by me, I wanted to see Xiaotong's reaction, maybe Yuan'er would be the key to being able to persuade him. Ah Ping paused as soon as he glanced back, shook my hand and stood aside safely, I couldn't withdraw it if I wanted to.

Xiaotong was stunned after seeing that he pushed Yuan'er to the ground, and when he saw Yuan'er crying loudly, he was even more helpless, and he stretched out his hand to help him, but when he saw that he only had one arm, he retracted it again. A few times he glared at me in embarrassment and chagrin, "Why don't you take him away?" ”

I replied expressionlessly: "People are made to cry by you, and you are naturally responsible." ”

Xiao Tong was so angry that he turned around and wanted to leave, but the hem of the monk's robe was grabbed by Xiao Yuan'er's small hand, just now when he raised his eyes and glared at me. I'm not worried, Xiaotong's reaction has already told me that he can't push Yuan'er away again. Sure enough, he turned his eyes and looked down at the little dot on the ground, and finally slowly squatted down, grabbed Yuan'er's little hand holding the monk's robe, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

I mentioned it just now, maybe he didn't pay attention to it, or maybe he wanted to listen to Yuan'er answer in person, but Yuan'er only grinned stupidly, and drilled into his arms, actually wanting to climb into Xiaotong's uncle.

I am also curious about this state, Xiao Yuan'er has never seen Xiaotong, how can she hug you as soon as you meet? I still remember that when I came back and saw this kid for the first time, he ignored me, and it took me time to play with him to get closer.

If it weren't for Xiaotong, I would definitely be pantothenic.

However, at this moment, he was worried about whether Yuan'er's move would make Xiaotong embarrassed, and he only had one right hand. But after a while, I found that I was worried too much, because I knew what he was going to do after a long time with Yuan'er, but Xiaotong didn't understand it, and was overturned by Yuan'er's crawling and crawling, so a funny picture appeared.

Xiaotong fell to the ground, Yuan'er thought he was playing a game with him, so he climbed up without hesitation, and finally sat on Xiaotong's chest to grab the hairpin on his head. Seeing this, I have to come forward, or Xiaotong will be bullied by Yuan'er, the little devil, and he stepped forward to pick up the little devil and asked Xiaotong on the ground: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

He rolled over from the ground, shook his head, and hurried away without saying a word, forgetting to even take the broom on the ground.

Xiao Yuan'er didn't know what was going on, only that the game object she had just found was gone, and she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of Ah Ping's walk in confusion, shouting "Ahhhhhhhh

Ah Ping glanced at Yan Qi, Yan Qi immediately understood that he stepped forward to pick up Yuan'er on the ground, the child's heart was uncertain, and he was attracted away as soon as he said a few words, and happily followed Yan Qi away. Seeing their backs disappear behind the corridor, only me and Ah Ping were left in the backyard, and he went straight in and asked, "Do you want to use Yuan'er to make your brother change his mind?" ”

I shook my head, "Xiaotong's attitude has softened, and Yuan'er is just speeding up the process." You won't be able to use it tomorrow because we can go down the mountain together in the evening. ”

I'm not talking big, and at sunset, the group left the mountain temple, and a young man in monk clothes walked in the middle of the group. If you look closely, you can see that there is no scar on the boy's head.

This was found when I broke into the host's room last night and snatched a quilt to cover Xiaotong, not that you can be called a monk if you shave your hair and put on a monk's robe, and the ring scar is a sign that represents whether a person really enters the Buddha door, it means breaking off all kinds of obsessions in the world. And Xiaotong is not hot, it can be seen that he is still obsessed with the world, even if he is called the Dharma name, he does not forgive.

I figured it out when I stayed up all night that night, if I don't forgive, I won't forgive, I don't ask him to forgive me, and it's not compensation to take him away, he is my brother, and the sisters and brothers can't talk about compensation, my father and mother are gone, and I should take care of this brother for the rest of my life. Yes, for a lifetime.

As for how Xiaotong was willing to loosen his mouth and go down the mountain with me, that was the entanglement between him and Yuan'er, anyway, Yan Qi was also a thief, and took Yuan'er to look for Xiaotong in the temple, and he went smoothly in the evening.
