Chapter 10: Zhu Zhen braved the rain to save her child
Zhu Zhen looked at Tang Yuhong's red eyes, and felt that her heart was still full of pain.
"Sister Tang Yu, mentioning this makes you even more sad, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay Zhu Zhen, you see that I'm not very good here, my heart is soothed, I fade away the dust, and gradually forget it." Tang Yu stroked his nose with his hand.
"By the way, Sister Tang Yu, the place you mentioned, the sea of wisteria flowers, I know, Chen Ziqi and I have been there, it is indeed very beautiful, let me indulge in it. It's just that I haven't seen anyone, but the flowers are still blooming brilliantly. ”
"Really? Zhu Zhen, what a coincidence, it is true that ordinary people can't find it there, and I don't know how you got in? It seems like a wonderland. Tang Yu listened to Zhu Zhen's words and felt very incredible.
"By the way, Zhu Zhen, the tea will be delivered later, you can quickly drink some hot water to warm your body, and go back quickly while you are now." I'll keep the things, and you go back and just tell Tang Gong that I received the things, and I don't need to say anything else. By the way, Zhu Zhen, I see that you are a child, and your waist is bulging, what's going on? ”
When Zhu Zhen heard Tang Yu say this, she also felt embarrassed, so she took out a few steamed buns from her arms, and then said to Zhu Zhen, "Don't hide it from Sister Tang Yu, in addition to coming over to deliver something to you today, I also plan to go to Hantan Cave in the west to send food to my little friend Chen Ziqi, because he was forced by the Wu family to stay alone in Hantan Cave for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide, if he has anything, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”
"The Wu family, it's the Wu family again, is the Wu family so powerful that they want to torture a baby to death? Tang Gong is still managing housework for the Wu family, doesn't his heart hurt? Speaking of the Wu family, Tang Yu still felt a burst of hatred in his heart.
"No, Sister Tang Yu, this matter has nothing to do with Master Tang Gong, he doesn't know why. Moreover, I was also reduced to the Wu family to take care of his family's Wu Shide. It's also a bad fate. ”
The rain continued tonight, and the road of Weiyang Mountain was full of water, and the water rolled down the eaves to the ground, and the splashes could float on people's faces.
"Zhu Zhen, do you know that this is more than ten miles to Hantan Cave, this big night, the rain is getting heavier, aren't you looking for death? Forget it, don't let yourself in before anyone arrives. After speaking, the female companion in the nunnery carried tea into the room, and Tang Yu said, "I'm sorry for you, Shijun." The tea will be put on the table, I will warm the girl here, you have to go and get busy beforehand. ”
The waiter put the tea on the table, and without speaking, he left. "Zhu Zhen, Sister Tang Yu doesn't allow you to go there, it's really a long way there, and it's raining at night, girl."
"No, Sister Tang Yu, I must go, if I can't go today, it will be even more difficult in the future." After speaking, he was ready to get up, and then stuffed the steamed bun into his arms again, "Sister Tang Yu, I'm leaving, I have to go." With that, he turned to leave.
"Zhu Zhen Zhu Zhen, don't worry, drink some tea and then leave?"
"No need, Sister Tang Yu, thank you." Then he went out, held up an umbrella, and walked outside. "Zhu Zhen, you are really a tough girl, okay, I'll open the door for you. Remember, if you go back tomorrow, I'll ask someone to send me a letter, and if there's anything wrong with you, I'll not be at ease. Thank you for today."
"Okay, Sister Tang Yu, don't worry, I will come to see you in the future, goodbye Sister Tang Yu." Zhu Zhen glanced back at Tang Yu, she was still so beautiful, so memorable.
Zhu Zhen already felt that it was very difficult to walk when she went out, and besides, there was a little wind in the rain, and the people who blew it were cold. However, the belief in her heart supported her, and she believed that although the road was long, as long as she took firm steps, she could cross the wind and rain and walk towards her destination.
The journey of more than ten miles seems to have been a century, and the farmers in Weiyang Mountain have all slept, and only a few people have lit up the faint lamps.
At this time, there was probably no one walking on the road, and some people may be left except for her, but the homeless people are all nestled in the bridge cave and asleep. The flowing water at the entrance of the Hantan Cave was flowing, Chen Ziqi was also lying flat on the stone slab with his eyes closed, and the firewood was still burning, and the crackling sound sometimes startled him for a moment, and then he curled up his body again.
The sound of the rain outside has been drowned out by the sound of running water, which is really fast, and it really lives up to its name. Chen Ziqi thought of Yao Niang, Zhu Zhen and Lilac. But did they think about him as much as they did? Chen Ziqi looked at the firewood, sat upright, and silently counted how many times the firewood was blown.
Zhu Zhen spent most of the night in Hantan in the west, and the wetness on his body was not only wet by the rain, but also the sweat on his body, the sound of the water in Hantan drowned everything, and a river of several meters was blocked from the outside of Hantan Cave, and ordinary people could not pass through. Zhu Zhen shouted loudly across the river towards the Hantan Cave, and shouted over and over again. The sound of running water and rain drowned out her voice, and she could barely hear herself. So he squatted down against the trunk of a tree, discouraged for a while.
After a long time, Zhu Zhen stood on the other side of the river and shouted to this side, "Sub-period, sub-period." ”
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the eastern sky, and Zhu Zhen sat on the ground in fright, even her buttocks were wet.
Chen Ziqi also heard this thunder, got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, the rain at the entrance of the cave rolled down like a waterfall, Chen Ziqi looked out from here as if he opened his eyes, and listened to the direction where the thunder came.
At this time, he noticed a small figure on the other side of the river, vague, but very definite, there was a man there. Chen Ziqi looked at it carefully, as if it was a woman, and shouted loudly, "Which one is on the other side of the river?" Which one is on the other side of the river? Chen Ziqi's voice was bright, and his shouting was clear and powerful.
Zhu Zhen hurriedly got up when she heard the voice, "Ziqi, is it you, Ziqi, I'm Zhu Zhen." Chen Ziqi heard Zhu Zhen's voice vaguely through the rain, and was overjoyed, "Zhu Zhen Zhu Zhen, is it you Zhu Zhen?" It's so late and it's raining so hard here, why are you here? ”
Chen Ziqi did not cover it, and approached the river step by step, and his body was wet in an instant. "Ziji, I brought a few steamed buns, I let you eat such a big sin, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold on, so I came over."
"Zhu Zhen, I can do it, and I'm not afraid."
"Ziji, listen to me, I can't get to you from here, I'll go to your side, throw the steamed bun over, you must hold it firmly, this is a steamed bun that can save your life." Zhu Zhen also said in a powerful voice.
"Okay, Zhu Zhen, thank you." Zhu Zhen looked at the river, the distance on the other side seemed to be very far, and with his weak physical strength, he might not be able to throw it there. This was terrible, so she first took out the half of the steamed bun and threw it tentatively towards the opposite bank, half of the steamed bun seemed to be a little lighter, fell down a meter away from Chen Ziqi, and then washed away along the flowing water.
Chen Ziqi began to shout, "Zhu Zhen Zhu Zhen, if you use a little more force on your arm, it is already very close, only more than half a meter away." ”
Zhu Zhen took out all the steamed buns, wrapped them tightly with paper, took a head rope on her head, made it solid, and then shook it hard, and the steamed buns were actually thrown over the shore. Chen Ziqi picked up the steamed bun and carried it in his arms, and he was very happy and very grateful.
"Great, Zhu Zhen, I've got the steamed buns, you go back quickly, when I go out, I will definitely let my mother make a bunch of steamed buns, and then we will eat together, I will let my father go to your house, and then say that you will allow it to me." Ha ha. ”
"Chen Ziqi, who is going to marry you? I'm here to save you, remember to live well. Zhu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
"Ziqi, then I'll leave?" Zhu Zhen turned around and whispered, probably no strength, Chen Zi expected that he would not be able to hear it. And Chen Ziqi was also watching Zhu Zhen leave at the entrance of Hantan Cave.
There is a herring in the water of the cold pond churning the water waves, sometimes jumping, sometimes sinking down and swimming away.
Zhu Zhen was indeed tired, and she didn't go far back before she leaned against the trunk of the tree next to her and sat down. Hunger rushed up, and the strength to walk seemed to be gone. She didn't know if she could rush back, and she was sad in addition to hunger.
Yu Maogong, the elder of Weiyang Mountain, has also been very sorry and pity since he learned that Chen Ziqi was put into Hantan Cave. Yu Maogong lives near Hantan Temple, not very far from here, this day and night of rain, let him feel extremely worried, the Wu family is powerful, bullying people are short, and he has no ability to resist, seeing that some people in Weiyang Mountain are oppressed by him, they are powerless. He only felt that he didn't have the ability to rescue Chen Ziqi, so he had to think about it, and then prepared to wait and see from time to time in the past two or three days, hoping that Chen Ziqi could live well, even if he couldn't do anything, he could give him some faith and give him some strength to live.
This night, Yu Maogong couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he went into the firewood room to get a hat, put on a hat, and walked to the Hantan Cave.
Tang Yu of Qingtan Nunnery in Weiyang Mountain pushed open the door, and saw that the rain outside the door was getting heavier and heavier, and he was anxious for a while, worried that something would happen to Zhu Zhen. She took out the rain-proof cloak from the room, tightened her head, and went to the room of the nunnery, Hu Amei.
Hu Amei, the owner of the nunnery, was sitting on a stool with her eyes closed to recuperate, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, she walked towards this side, and then knocked on the door twice, Hu Amei said casually, "Please come in." ”
Tang Yu lifted the cloak, and Hu Amei said, "It's Ayu?" Ayu, is there something urgent about coming to my room late at night? Tang Yu was hard to say, but at this time she had to say, so she said to Hu Amei, "Nunnery master, you see, the rain outside the door is heavier, and it is dark, I am worried about the girl just now, because the girl is stubborn, and when she left, she told me that she was going to Hantan Cave in the west, where there is a little friend of hers, locked there, she is going to bring him food, so late, I am afraid that something will happen to a little girl on the road." ”
When Hu Amei, the owner of the nunnery, heard this, she also felt that it was very difficult to do, because she knew that the women in the nunnery were not allowed to go far away, but when she heard Tang Yu say this, she felt that the matter was urgent, and the girl had to walk more than ten miles and then return, which ordinary adults could not do.
Hu Amei didn't speak, but felt a little helpless. Tang Yu said again, "The master of the nunnery, the Buddhists also say that saving people's lives is better than Futu, and that girl suffered a disaster because of my business, if she is really so difficult to get through, I will not be at ease for the rest of my life, what is the use of practicing in this nunnery?" ”
Tang Yu begged again and again. Hu Amei saw that Tang Yuru was as firm as she came, and she couldn't shirk it, so she had to agree. He also said, "As the owner of the nunnery, I have repeatedly broken the vows, according to the rules of the nunnery, you need to fast and fasten for seven days when you return to the nunnery, do you have to think clearly?" ”
Tang Yu said, "Nunnery master, when I come back, let you dispose of it, I have already thought about it." ”
"Alright then, let me come." Hu Amei, the owner of the nunnery, went to get the key as she spoke. "Thank you, Master Nunnery, I, Tang Yu, am grateful for your merits in this life." Tang Yu said respectfully to Hu Amei.
After all, the elder Yu Maogong was old and very slow to act, but he still felt that he should go to the Hantan Cave to take a look.
So he walked for a while, rested for a while, walked for a while, and rested for a while. When he saw a figure under the tree in front of him, he quickened his pace, reached Zhu Zhen, shook Zhu Zhen vigorously with his hand, and said, "Hey, girl, girl, wake up." ”
Zhu Zhen leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed her eyes, she was so tired that she had some difficulty standing up. She opened her eyes, looked at the old man, and said, "Old man, why did you come here?" ”
"And what about me, girl, why did you stay here and fall asleep when you saw such a heavy rain? If you drench like this, you'll probably not see the sun tomorrow. Zhu Zhen said in a weak voice, "Old man, I'm too tired today, I can't walk, I want to rest here for a while, but I can't get up." ”
"Girl, get up, and I'll send you home." Yu Maogong pulled Zhu Zhen up.
"Thank you, old man, okay, let's go." Yu Maogong held Zhu Zhen with his hand, and Zhu Zhen took difficult steps.
Tang Yu walked out of the nunnery alone, because he was young, he walked relatively fast, although the water on the road was muddy, but Tang Yu still walked on a normal road. Tang Yu is tall, with long legs and legs, and a white hat, like a vigorous white horse, galloping on the road full of rain. I don't feel tired either.
She walked along the road to the west, not daring to stop at all, and observing as she walked, for fear that Zhu Zhen's figure would be missed as far as her eyes could see.
Yu Maogong walked slowly with Zhu Zhen, and kept asking her during the period, "Where is the girl?" Zhu Zhen didn't tell him her name. just said, "I'm going to Wu's house in Weiyang Mountain, what I'm doing there is to wait for people, and I must return to Wu's house tonight." Otherwise, Xu was severely beaten. ”
"Wu family? Is it the Wu family again? As an elder in this area of Weiyang Mountain, I don't have the slightest right to speak. Let his Wu family hurt the heavens and do all the bad things here. Alas. When Yu Maogong heard the Wu family in Weiyang Mountain, he was dissatisfied.
"You are Yu Maogong, the elder of Weiyang Mountain here, right?" Zhu Zhen listened to Yu Maogong's words and asked.
"Yes, girl. I am Yu Maogong. ”
"Elder Yu Maogong, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I might never be able to open my eyes to see the grass and trees in this Weiyang Mountain, and I won't see the rising sun tomorrow."
"Girl, my old man walks slowly, and his strength is insufficient, and if he is tired of walking, we will sit down and rest for a while."
"Okay, Elder Yu Mao."
"Girl, just call me Mao Gong."
"Okay, Mao Gong."
Tang Yu walked most of the distance, but he didn't see Zhu Zhen's shadow, and he became anxious. She shouted as she walked, "Zhu Zhen Zhu Zhen." Shouting Zhu Zhen's name over and over again.
Zhu Zhen asked Yu Maogong to stop, ready to rest, and then leaned on Yu Maogong and slowly closed his eyes. Yu Maogong didn't notice it, thinking that they were tired of each other, so he didn't bother Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen was probably sleepy to a certain extent, dizzy, and fell asleep.
