The fire burned for a long time, staining almost half of the sky red.

When the sky-high fire was finally slowly extinguished, a faint morning light had already shone through the dark eastern sky, shining on everyone's pale and tired faces.

I was almost unsteady on my feet, and Pei Yuanxiu was always behind me, letting me lean into his arms.

I thought I was already very weak, but what I didn't expect was that when the enlightened monk was cremated, it was Yan Qinghan who lit the fire who fell first. When the attendants he brought with him rushed up to help him, his face was as white as paper, and even his breathing was weak, and the people in the temple arranged for him to go to the Zen Monastery of Enlightenment, where he boiled medicine and administered medicine, and he was busy all day before he finally woke up.

Those light-colored eyes slowly opened, and although the color was light, they were unexpectedly bright, and immediately reflected the figure of me sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at him.

Then, a faint smile appeared on the pale face.

"Are you awake?"

“……”

"Your situation seems to be stricter than when you were a child."

“……”

"Haven't you been cured all these years?"

Yan Qinghan lay quietly on the bed, looked at me for a while, turned his head, and glanced at a few attendants who had been waiting there, and those people immediately surrounded him.

They seemed to have been prepared, there was a small dish of green salt on the tray, a white marble round cup containing lukewarm water, he reluctantly got up, leaned on the head of the bed and rinsed his mouth with green salt, spit the water into another white porcelain cup, and then two more attendants came to seal the hot water and towel, and carefully scrub his face.

After doing this, he turned his head to look at me again, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Life and death are life and wealth, and there are some things that I don't want to force anymore." ”

I don't know why, seeing what he did just now, and listening to his words again, I want to laugh.

However, in today's Central Plains, the so-called famous families left behind, the genealogy can be traced back to several generations at most, and the Yan family has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs in Xichuan.

So, I digressed the topic and asked, "Then why did you come this time?" ”

He took the handkerchief handed by the attendant and wiped the corners of his mouth, and when he heard this, he looked up at me as if he wanted to laugh: "Light, my father has passed away." ”

“……”

"I'll see him off and pick him up."

“…… Pick him up? ”

"He is a member of the Yan family, shouldn't his bones enter the Yan family ancestral hall?"

When these words came out, I was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "But he is a monk." ”

"Of course I know that he has been practicing for decades, and he is already a great monk of Tianmu Temple," he said, looking into my eyes and said calmly: "Since this is the case, then we should understand that what he left behind is just a stinky skin, and even he does not hesitate to care, so why care where he is buried and where he is enshrined?" ”

Looking at his faint eyes, I suddenly felt that I couldn't say many of the things I wanted to say before.

After a long silence, I withdrew from the monastery with a pale face.

On the fourth day, I heard that the old monks in the monastery had agreed to let Yan Qinghan take away Zhengjue's ashes, and only take the robe he wore before his death as his bones, and enshrine them in a stone pagoda in Tallinn.

Hearing the news, Pei Yuanxiu said to me: "That cousin of yours is a very skillful person. ”

“……”

"Not everyone has the ability to take the bones of a temple abbot away."

At this time, I was packing up the salute we were going to take away when we left Tianmu Temple, and I just folded a small piece of Li'er's clothes, looked back at him, smiled faintly, and said, "The people of the Yan family have always been very skillful. ”

When he heard this, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.

I smiled faintly.

When we had all our things packed, an attendant came in and took our things out, and in a moment the room was empty.

And as soon as they went out, the other people were all ready.

Everyone walked out together.

I slowly walked up to Pei Yuanfeng and said, "How did you deal with the real thing?" ”

Pei Yuanfeng turned around and saw that it was me, nodded his head, and said, "I left a few people here, waiting for news at any time." Yan Gongzi means that there is no need to investigate this matter further. ”

"That's what he said?"

"Hmm."

I thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." ”

After speaking, we have walked to the gate of Tianmu Temple, as soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I heard a commotion outside, and Li'er's laughter, I hurriedly looked up, but saw the fearless monk lifted Li'er high, and then suddenly put her head down, almost fell to the ground, and suddenly lifted her up. Li'er has grown so big, probably hasn't played like this before, screaming excitedly.

As soon as she turned her head to see me, she immediately said happily: "Mother! ”

The fearless monk also saw me, hurriedly put Li'er down, and walked in front of me: "Miss! ”

I looked at him in amazement.

I wasn't surprised that he was playing so crazy with Li'er, but I saw that although he was still wearing a monk's robe as usual, he had a blanket on his shoulders, and his face also swept away the gloomy look he had when he knew I was leaving, and looked at me with a smile, and I asked, "Uncle Fearless, are you—"

"The Sprinkle family will go to Chengdu with you."

"Huh?" I was taken aback: "You come with us." ”

"Hmm."

"But—people in the temple, are you—"

The fearless monk smiled: "This is what the abbot uncle told me before leaving, how dare they stop it." ”

"What?" I was shocked again: "Second uncle? What did he tell you? ”

"That night, after the eldest lady saw Uncle Shi go back, Uncle Shi called me back again, asking me to take care of the eldest lady more, especially not to let people hurt you," he said, he laughed, touched his bald head and said: "The Sprinkle family forgot about this before, and after Uncle Shi passed away, the Sprinkle family remembered, isn't this just to let the Sprinkle family follow the eldest lady?" ”

I couldn't help but feel a throbbing in my heart.

After a while, he said a little hoarsely: "Second uncle, let you take care of me more?" ”

"That's right."

"So, what else did he say?"

The fearless monk thought about it again and said, "Uncle Zhengjue said that the eldest lady is a capable person, her personality is too strong, but her feelings are too fragile, and such a person is the most vulnerable to injury. If you want to remember the family, you must take care of the eldest lady more. ”

“……”

Listening to his words, I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, and stood there stupidly.

The character is too strong, but the feelings are too fragile?

Is this what the enlightened monk thinks of me?

I can hardly believe that my elder, a second uncle who had only a few faces when he was a child and only saw him once in sixteen years when he grew up, would make such an evaluation of me, and every word was pierced into my heart like a needle.

I don't know if it's because of the pain in my heart, or some irreparable regrets, I just feel that my eyes are getting hotter and hotter, and my eyes are getting redder and redder. ”

I glanced down at her and reluctantly swallowed my tears: "Mother is fine." ”

"Is my mother going to cry?"

"It's not."

"Why are the mother's eyes red?"

"My mother is happy."

"Huh? Why are you so happy? ”

Looking at her stupid look of breaking the casserole and asking the end, and looking up at the childlike smile of the fearless monk, I only felt full of happiness in my arms, and the haze and heaviness in my heart before were also swept away at this moment.

At that moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was Liu Qinghan and Yan Qinghan, and the two of them walked out together.

As soon as they saw the two of them, the expressions on the faces of many people here sank.

Although Yan Qinghan is the son of Zhengjue, and the temple arranged for him and the people he brought to go to the Zen monastery where Zhengjue lived before, I know that in private, Yan Qinghan moved to Fu Badai's previous residence and lived with Liu Qinghan.

For a few days, I didn't know what they were talking about.

I don't know how much Liu Qinghan will know.

These days, I have hardly seen them, and I have not asked for any news about them, Liu Qinghan's memory is restored or not, how much he will know about the past, it is indeed a big thing, but after experiencing this incident of the enlightened monk, I feel more and more that some things may only have to wait for God to arrange, or perhaps, God has already arranged it, all we have to do is to accept it calmly, do everything better, and let this matter develop as much as possible in a good way, and that's it.

While thinking like this, the two of them walked out of the gate of Tianmu Temple and walked in front of me.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the spiritual position held in Yan Qinghan's arms.

I frowned slightly, and before I could speak, he coughed lightly twice, and then said to me and Liu Qinghan: "The three of us are in the same door, should we see each other?" ”

“……”

“……”

Liu Qinghan and I were both stunned for a moment, and looked at him at the same time.

He continued, "But it's not convenient for me right now. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Qinghan and I both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

I thought for a moment and said, "Light Han ......"

As soon as the words came out, both of them looked up at me, and I was stunned for a moment.

Liu Qinghan didn't say anything for a while, Yan Qinghan lightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said: "The master came up with this name, and it was really embarrassing for the two of us, and he kept making jokes back then." So, light, how about you call me by my nickname? ”

“……”

"In the past, you used to call it."

“……”

I hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Ah Qi." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Qinghan glanced at him.

At this moment, I couldn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around me, and said, "Aren't you going to take the second uncle back to the temple and bury him in the ancestral grave?" ”

"Not bad."

"The ancestral tomb is in the West Mountain."

Yan Qinghan said lightly: "You seem to have forgotten the rules of the Yan family, after the death of the family, they must first worship in the main house for seven days." ”

My heart thumped.

"You, you want to take the second uncle back to Chengdu, the main house?"

"This is my responsibility as a child." He said, glancing at me: "Light, you won't, don't you want to let your father go back to the main house to worship, right?" ”

I shook my head: "Of course not. ”

Not to mention that even if Yan Yizhi is a concubine, he still has the right to go back to the main house to be enshrined and buried in the ancestral grave after death, even if he doesn't, I, as a junior, will never dare to point fingers at his posthumous affairs.

It's just—

I subconsciously turned my head and looked at Yan Qingchen, who had been sitting quietly in a wheelchair and looking at us silently.

Yan Qinghan, want to go back to the Yan family's main house?
