Tang Gong looked at his wife's spirit tablet with affection, and silently closed his eyes.

took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from his arms, he carefully opened it, Zhu Zhen glanced at it, it was a jade bracelet that was broken in three pieces, Tang Gong looked at the broken jade bracelet, full of heartache, and whispered in his mouth, "Yu'er, Yu'er." ”

Zhu Zhen was standing at the door when a gust of wind came and blew her umbrella and hit the door. Tang Gong heard the voice and hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, "Who?" Who's outside the door? ”

Zhu Zhen knocked on the door and pushed the door open, "Master Tang, it's me, Zhu Zhen." ”

Tang Gong hurriedly put the things in his hand into his arms and said, "Zhen girl, it's you, it's such a heavy rain, why did you come to my side?" ”

Zhu Zhen stood the umbrella near the door and said, "I was in an irritable mood, and I came here unconsciously." Then I saw Master Tang you in the house, and the door was not closed. ”

"Oh, Zhen girl, hurry up and pat your clothes, sit down, my old Tang is alone, and I don't have any hobbies on weekdays, so I hide in the house."

"Master Tang, are you okay? I think you seem to have a lot on your mind. ”

"It's okay girl, today is my wife's third year's sacrifice day, talking to her, I wanted to drink some wine, but I wasn't in the mood all of a sudden. Just one person remembered the past. ”

"Master Tang, don't be sad, it's all over, I came to the Wu family and took care of you, I am very grateful, and I will be useful to Zhu Zhen in the future, so I will help you."

"Girl, come, that Fan really didn't let you eat, my food here is not in the way, eat as you like, when my wife is here, I love girls very much, and I am happy to see you today."

"This, this," Zhu Zhen was not embarrassed, looking at these meals, and remembering Chen Zilai in the Hantan Cave, he didn't speak, just lowered his head. In addition to missing his wife, Tang Gong also misses his daughter, Tang Yu. This jade bracelet belonged to his daughter Tang Yu, and it came to him for some reason, how many times did he want to return it to Tang Yu, but he never had the opportunity, and he would not return it in person, because Tang Yu hated him and hated him for three years.

Tang Gong looked at Zhu Zhen in front of him, and suddenly had an idea, that is, to ask Zhu Zhen to return the jade bracelet to Tang Yu, who was still in Qingtan Nunnery, on this day.

"Zhen girl, do you know that there is a Qingtan Nunnery in the eastern part of Weiyang Mountain, which is located halfway up the Weiyang Mountain, and the daily clear stream flows carefully, and the Qingtan Nunnery is quiet and peaceful."

"Master Tang, I know where? Isn't that the place where the women of Weiyang Mountain are cultivated? I've only heard of it and never been there. ”

"Zhen girl, tonight, my old Tang asked you to do something, you see?"

"Master Tang, you say, as long as you can do it, I will help you do it." Tang Gong took out the jade bracelet from his arms, put it in Zhu Zhen's hand, and said, "The things in this handkerchief belong to my daughter Tang Yu, I have a daughter, named Tang Yu, who left home three years ago and went to Qingtan Nunnery, I heard that she cultivated there and never came out, this thing is hers, I have never had a chance to give it to her, you see, can you help Master Tang return the things to her?" ”

"Master Tang, this, this is okay, it's just ,...... It's just that I was punished today, Fan really didn't give me a bite to eat, I was afraid, I was afraid that I would not be able to go to Qingtan Nunnery. ”

Tang Gong was very unhappy when he heard Zhu Zhen say this, "This Fan is really not treating people as people." Come to the girl, you carry the four steamed buns here in your arms, and eat them when you are hungry on the road. ”

As he spoke, he wrapped the steamed buns in paper. "Here, girl, take it."

"Okay, Master Tang. This Wu family compound, it's not easy for me to go out when I come, you see, how can I get out? ”

"Come, girl, Caidian at the door is an acquaintance of mine, I told him, let you out, go out, go east, go to the east cliff, there is a sign there, there is a path up the mountain next to the sign, follow the path all the way, you can see Qingtan Nunnery. When I arrived at Qingtan Nunnery, I told the host of Qingtan Nunnery that I was here to find someone, and she probably saw that you were a little girl, so she let you in. Remember, my daughter's name is Tang Yu. ”

Tang Gong asked Zhu Zhen to hold an umbrella, went to the cabinet in the room and took out half a bottle of wine, then put the two dishes on the table into the bamboo basket next to him, and led Zhu Zhen out of the door.

This Cai Dian is also forty or fifty years old, but he looks very old, and his movements are faltering, his left leg seems to have been seriously injured, Cai Dian has no children and no daughters, and he lives alone in the small house at the door all day long, living like a dog, fortunately he has something to eat, and he will not live on the streets.

Tang Gong knocked on Cai Dian's door, and Cai Dian answered, "Who?" This heavy rain. ”

"Brother Cai, it's me, Tang Gong, who opened the door." As soon as Cai Dian heard Tang Gong's voice, he immediately limped over and opened the door.

"Steward Tang, it's you, it's raining so heavily, and you still came here."

Tang Gong took out the wine from his arms, "Accompany my brother to drink less today, come, Zhu Zhen, bring out the dishes." Cai Dian glanced at the little girl in front of him, "Say, it's the girl of the Zhu family, right?" The words of Master Wu that I heard the day before yesterday said that a person named Zhu Zhen was coming over, and when she entered the gate of Wu's house, she was not allowed to go out every day, so she probably offended this Wu friend. ”

"This, this is Zhu Zhen, the girl of the Zhu family, I won't go into details, it's all a matter of the previous paragraph, I want to have a drink with your brother today." "Haha," Cai Dian laughed.

"Tang Gong, Tang Gong, don't you know that I know that today is the three-year memorial day of your deceased wife? It's too underestimating me Caidian, haha. Come, open the wine, drink. ”

Zhu Zhen carefully put the food on a small table, and after listening to Cai Dian's words, she thought that it was difficult to go out. Tang Gong opened the wine, and the aroma of the wine immediately overflowed, filling the entire room.

"Yes, yes, that is, you have to drink such fragrant wine from Steward Tang."

"Haha," Tang Gong smiled slightly. "It's been three years, it's time to pass, people have to look forward, don't linger on the past, there is no hurdle that can't be passed, unlike me, homeless and mouthless, no worries, just like that, dead, lying in the bridge hole, ants and cockroaches can also eat a full meal, don't you say?"

Tang Gong heard Cai Dian say this, and pretended to be angry and said, "Cai Dian, Cai Dian, you have to remember, who pulled you out of that water pool, your life was picked up by my Tang Gong for you, and I will live well in the future." ”

Cai Dian knew in his heart that if it weren't for that night, the heavy rain, he might have been drowned in the soil a long time ago, and let insects, rats and snakes bite him. "Steward Tang, look at my leg, I'm lame, I can't work anymore, I live like a dog every day, hey, don't say it, it's better to die than to live, and eat with you." Come on, eat, come on, girl, you can eat too? ”

Zhu Zhen looked at Cai Dian and was also very pitiful, and hurriedly said, "Master Cai, thank you, I have eaten." Cai Dian picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, wiped his mouth, and said to Tang Gong, "Steward Tang, you came here by yourself every day, and today you brought a girl over, are you waiting for me?" Tell me what you mean in your heart. ”

Tang Gong saw that Cai Dian really understood, so he had to bite the bullet and tell him what he thought. When Cai Dian heard this, he also made a mistake in his heart, and said, "This, this is not easy to do." After hesitating for a while, he said, "My life is all your Tang Gong's, you can let Zhu Yatou go out, it's a big deal to be kicked out of the Wu family, isn't it?" ”

When Tang Gong heard this, he felt that Cai Dian had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly said, "I, Tang Gong, promise you, I didn't come here to let you let Zhu Yatou go, Zhu Yatou is done, and she will go back tonight, and she won't come back to talk about my Tang Gong." Tang Gong patted his chest.

"Okay Steward Tang, take advantage of the early days, hurry up and let Zhu Yatou go."

"Okay, Caidian, Caidian, maybe I'm going to open my mouth."

The rain outside the door was still falling, the sky was dim and abnormal, Tang Gong still muttered in his heart, afraid that something would go wrong with this girl. But the concern in his heart has not diminished at all, he only thinks about his daughter Tang Yu, and hopes that she will get back what belongs to her as soon as possible and reduce the guilt in her heart.

Zhu Zhen was carrying four steamed buns in her arms, looking bulging, and Cai Dian was embarrassed to ask when she saw this. Instead, he led Zhu Zhen out of the house, took out a key from his waist, opened the door, and when he left, he specially instructed her, it was raining outside and the road was slippery, so she must be careful under her feet, and she went to Qingtan Nunnery for about five or six miles, held the umbrella in her hand tightly, and came back quickly when she was done.

Zhu Zhen looked at Cai Dian, nodded, opened the umbrella, and quickly disappeared into Cai Dian's eyes.

This huge Weiyang city is like a projectile land in this Weiyang Mountain, and hundreds of families in the city seem quiet and peaceful in the middle of the night in the rain.

Chen Wu sat in the room, Yao Niang opened the door, and from time to time walked out of the door to look out, feeling very anxious. The fuel lamp was blown by the wind, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, Chen Wu said many times in his mouth, Yao Niang, don't always dangle like that, walking around and seeing your eyes are spent.

Yao Niang said, "Chen Wu, isn't it your son in the emotional child?" A child, so young, to bear such a sin, it's not that you old Chen Wu doesn't have great ability, and he is raised and browed. If my son's son has a good life, this family will be left to you, and I will die with my son, and the men in the family are really unreliable. If you can live peacefully and steadily during your childhood, you old Chen Wu must cover him tightly for me, is it easy for me to give birth to a son after so many years? ”

Chen Wu doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and at this time, he hopes that he can get drunk. "Yao Niang, Yao Niang, the child period is my son, so I'm not worried in my heart? You didn't even cook food on this day, if we starve to death, how will we live after the child? ”

Yao Niang didn't do anything all day, she didn't even eat a bite of food for a day, and she didn't think about giving Chen Wu some food to eat, feeling that she was wrong, and she felt a little guilty in her heart. Then he glanced at Chen Wu, and was still about to go into the kitchen to find something for Chen Wu to eat.

"I'm going to starve you to death if I don't eat for a day, damn Chen Wu, I think my son will not eat for three days, how can he live? And the Wu family, they must have sent someone to keep an eye on us, and they can't even get out. ”

Chen Wu wasn't very hungry, but it wasn't a way to see Yao Niang doing it so anxiously. "Hurry up, I'll bring something to find the elder Yu Maogong, and ask him to go to the Wu family to intercede, this Wu family will not cause a child to die." Yao Niang listened, was silent, and went into the kitchen alone.

Zhu Zhen held an umbrella and walked eastward, the water on the gravel road almost submerged her knees, the stones under her feet passed between her legs, under the dim sky, some faint lights of the house in the distance loomed, except for the sound of ticking water and the sound of water flowing between her feet, accompanied by her own powerful wheezing sound, the sound of her heart beating strongly, there was no other breath to hear.

From time to time, she touched the jade bracelet wrapped in the handkerchief in her arms with her hand, afraid that she would accidentally leave it somewhere. This stretch of road would normally take an hour or two to reach, and in the rain of the night, she seemed to have no end in sight.

The strength in her heart was not only to complete the task given to her by Tang Gong, but also to have a firm heart that she was going to Qingtan Nunnery in Dongya, and after handing over the jade bracelet to Tang Yu, she would also go to Hantan Cave in the west of Weiyang Mountain, where Chen Ziqi was, she would take the steamed buns in her arms to him, so as not to let him bear the physical hunger and fear in his heart alone.

Zhu Zhen's mind is very clear, and Chen Ziqi blames himself for being implicated because of this, and blames himself for being competitive.

When Zhu Zhen walked to the East Cliff, her stomach was already rumbling, she knew that she was too hungry to lift her strength, she leaned on the stone under the East Cliff, rested for a while, and saved her strength. But after resting for a while, there was no improvement in the slightest, she had to dig out a steamed bun with her hand, took out a steamed bun, stared at it for a long time, and then broke half of it and put it in her mouth.

Because she knew that if she didn't eat something and accumulate a little strength, she would definitely not have the strength to finish her own business.

Zhu Zhen only ate half of the steamed buns, and carefully put the other half of the steamed buns back into her arms. She touched the handkerchief again, touched the jade bracelet that had been broken in three pieces, she didn't understand in her heart, what happened to the broken jade bracelet?

When he arrived at the East Cliff, Qingtan Nunnery was halfway up the mountain a few hundred meters, and Zhu Zhen thought that as long as he cheered up, he might be able to climb this mountain and go to this Qingtan Nunnery all of a sudden.

The ancient sycamore next to Cheongdam Nunnery is in full bloom, the water of Cheongdam trickles finely, the more you go up, the more the raindrops are slower, the more you go up, the more you feel a piece of peace, Cheongdam Nunnery seems to be not eroded by pollution, there is not a single leaf that has fallen in front of Cheongdam Nunnery, it is said that the ground of Cheongdam Nunnery was first washed by the clear stream and formed, and over time it is like a mirror, which can afford to reflect the beauty and ugliness of people, and also to reflect the evil and good thoughts of people.

When Qingtan Nunnery came into view, Zhu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the closed door of Cheongtan Nunnery, and rested on the side.
