The early morning time is also very short, the eastern sky is already white, and then it is not long before the outline of the morning sun appears, and the birds chirp and chirp in the woods, and after a while they all fly down to forage for food.

When the first light passed through the clouds, through the trees, through the windows, and reflected the earth, the bell of Hantan Temple rang.

"Don't think, don't think, wake up, the bell rings, and the door of the temple is about to open." Chen Busi opened his eyes and hurriedly got off the bed,

"No, hurry up and get my package, I'm going to the main hall at this moment." Without a measure, he took Chen Busi's package and handed it to him,

"Say, don't think, although the door of the temple is open, there may not be people who come to offer incense, and you still need to wait for a quarter of an hour. Don't be in a hurry. Also, what Deacon Yanqing explained yesterday is that he needs to continue to observe behind the palace and act when he sees the opportunity, because of his identity, he must not act recklessly. Chen Busi felt that what Deacon Yanqing said made sense, so he calmed down.

Then he walked to the door and pushed it open. At this time, Deacon Yanqing was outside, and Chen Busi saw Deacon Yanqing standing at the door, so he said,

"Deacon Yanqing, why do you only stand at the door and don't knock on the door to come in?" Deacon Yanqing said,

"When you opened the door, you just arrived, and you only stayed here for a moment." Deacon Yanqing walked into the house as he spoke, and then said to Chen Busi,

"Yu Qing has a lot of things to do today, so I won't come to see you off, I just told me to hand over some money to you, so that you can go out of Hantan Temple and live a good life." Then he took it out and handed it to Chen Busi.

Chen Busi looked at the money and was very grateful.

"In addition to Deacon Yanqing in my life, I still have to thank Yu Qing for presiding over it, if it weren't for his take-in, I wouldn't be alive today. Say goodbye to him for me, and if I will support myself and gain something in the future, I will surely repay him in the future. ”

"Don't say much, let me take you to the main hall, you will observe behind the palace, if you see your father and mother come to the palace to make incense, after the incense is finished, you will go out of the temple with the crowd, out of the Hantan Temple, and your family will be reunited." Chen Busi said,

"Okay, I remember." In this way, Buliang took Chen Busi out of the door and walked towards the main hall. Chen Busi, as usual, stared at the faces of the people in the hall.

But among the waves of people who came, they still didn't find their parents. Don't say to Chen Busi,

"Don't think, don't worry, look slowly, Deacon Yanqing has already said it, this is not bad. Now I'll go outside the temple and say hello to one or two. Chen Busi said,

"You go, don't measure." After a while, he walked out of the temple, walking up and down outside the temple, and from time to time he made a ritual to those who came.

After a while, an old couple appeared in front of him, this old couple was the couple who did not ask for eggs before, and today the old woman also brought her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, the family is harmonious and beautiful, it is really a happy family.

Buliang walked up to the old woman and saluted her, and then took advantage of the crowd to secretly put the two eggs in his pocket into the old woman's bamboo basket, and the old woman's family did not notice it, so they went into the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, pray for blessings and make wishes.

More and more people came from the east, and as far as you could see, the road up the mountain was full of people.

Among this crowd are Chen Ziqi's father and mother, and Widow Ding, who is pulling Lilac to this side, but Lilac doesn't seem to be very willing to come.

"Mother, if you have to call me to come to incense today, won't you just do it yourself?" Widow Ding was very angry,

"Damn Lilac, how old are you, it's about to be the age to find your mother-in-law's house, you know every day that you hang out outside, don't do some serious things, let you and your mother come to pray for blessings and make wishes today, but fortunately reluctantly, are you ready to make your mother angry to death, and then be alone for the rest of your life?" Lilac's hand was pulled by Ding's widow,

"Mother, my hands hurt, don't pull it anymore."

"If you don't pull it, you can go to the temple with your mother." Lilac is still reluctant,

"There are so many people, I'm a girl's family, isn't this okay?"

"What's so bad? Mother still has a thing on her mind today, that is, I made a wish to let you marry early. My mother will understand. ”

"Mother, how old am I, it's still early, it's early."

"It's not early, Lilac, look at you, this age and height, it's like a big girl's family, I'm at your age, it's not the east and the west, but I've found your short-lived father, my life, I look at people's faces everywhere, it's not that there is no man around, my mother will not have to rely on you to find a good man to marry in the future." Lilac has indeed grown up, grown into a big girl, and her appearance is not reduced by the appearance of the widow Ding back then.

Lilac couldn't screw it, so she had to follow Widow Ding forward. Chen Ziqi's father, Chen Wu and Yao Niang, walked behind, not far from Widow Ding, watching Widow Ding arguing with Ding, walked up to her, and said,

"Lilac Niang, Lilac is good, listen to your mother." Widow Ding looked at Yao Niang, Yao Niang was carrying a bamboo basket, and there was food in the bamboo basket, and said,

"Yao Niang has a heart. Zi Ji Niang, so many years, Zi Ji has not seen anyone, dead and dead, I think, this Zi Ji must be alive and well, living somewhere. Your second elder has been really sad for so many years, I hope that after today, pray for blessings and make wishes, and Chen Ziqi is still alive. Yao Niang listened to Widow Ding's words, silent and speechless, but what Widow Ding said was true, her son Ziqi is indeed alive, in Hantan Temple, which is the place where people can be seen today.

"Mother, my brother must be alive, because I have seen him many times in my dreams, and he told me that he missed his father, but he just asked him but didn't say where he was?" Yao Niang didn't say a word to Widow Ding, so she followed Chen Wu forward, which made Widow Ding feel uncomfortable.

"This son is a mother, eight years old, a lot older, but I don't realize that my son is dead." Lilac was not happy when she heard the widow say that she was dead in her childhood.

"Mother, look at you, just now you said that the child period is still alive somewhere, and in the blink of an eye, she said that the child period is dead, if you let Yao Niang hear it, she will not cry bitterly."

"Okay, Lilac, my mother said the wrong thing, can't she say the wrong thing?"

"Mother, I believe that the child period is still alive." Lilac muttered to herself.

"Live, live, let's go, Lilac, if you don't leave, you won't be able to squeeze in." Lilac walked in front, Widow Ding walked behind, and the two walked towards Hantan Temple one after the other.

Standing in one place without a measure, looking at the crowd coming and going, suddenly, two big men walked out of the crowd next to him, it was Niu Ding and Niu Mao.

Niu Ding pulled Niu Mao and did not enter the temple door, but only found the back of a stone, and the two muttered and talked.

Feeling that something was wrong, he quietly approached the side of the stone. Niu Ding said to Niu Mao,

"Eight years ago, I didn't see the body of that kid in Chen Ziqi, I saw him jump off the cold pool, and he disappeared, and the two of us didn't think about it, but this thing seems to be a little strange. However, there is no longer a shadow of Chen Ziqi in this Weiyang Mountain. Today is the Zhengyuan Festival, but Chen Ziqi's father and mother are the first time to pray for blessings and make wishes in this Hantan Temple. Niu Mao said,

"The Chen family has been in the family for so many years, the son has died, and the son is gone, how can you have any intention to worship the Buddha and make a wish? Maybe I've figured it out in the past few years, and the truth that the living still have to live. ”

"Niu Mao, just your stupid brain, I just see things a little strange, the old man of the Wu family, Wu You, still let the two of us stare at it from time to time, and every once in a while, my brothers are indispensable to have some benefits, I think about my brother." Niu Mao said,

"You Niu Ding is Niu Ding, my Niu Mao is Niu Mao, only my Niu Mao is stupid, Niu Ding has a smart brain, and I Niu Mao will listen to Niu Ding."

"Niu Mao, the two of us pretended to have nothing to do today, and followed the crowd, only staring at Chen Wuyao Niang. If Chen Wu and his wife return home as usual, the two of us will stop this matter, remember. Niu Mao nodded,

"Listen to Niu Ding." I didn't know what these two people said, I heard it clearly, I panicked for a while, hurriedly turned around and walked back to the main hall, and went to the back of the hall to find Chen Busi.

When Chen Wuyao Niang walked into the main hall, Chen Busi saw it at a glance and was overjoyed. Look at Chen Wuyaoniang again, her hair is a little gray, Chen Wuyaoniang's eyes are dull because of the excessive grief for a long time, her face has been devastated by the years, and her back is not straight.

Widow Ding was also the first to squeeze into the temple, and then shouted outside,

"Lilac, lilac, dead girl, come in with me." Yao Niang glanced back at Widow Ding,

"Lilac Niang, be quiet, wait for some cloves slowly, Lilac is also a good boy, I'll come in after a while." Widow Ding also felt embarrassed by this shout,

"Zi Ji Niang, you go to incense first." Lilac also entered the hall not long after, Chen Busi looked at Lilac, almost unrecognizable, when he was a child, his round face was small, after a few years, he grew up and opened, under the black hair, a pair of smart eyes, Widow Ding will indeed clean up, and dress up her daughter is also fancy, which is lovely.

Chen Busi was carrying the package on his back, and was about to slowly follow the crowd to get closer to Chen Wuyaoniang, when he came in and said to Chen Busi,

"No, no, do you remember what you heard in Hantan Cave that day?"

"On the day? What is the elder Yu Maogong's words? I remember that Yu Maogong said to me that day, the Wu family found two people to end my life that night, so I listened to Maogong's words, jumped off the Hantan, and then swam south along the river, and I could find the Hantan Temple, and nothing else. ”

"The two people I met outside the main hall today must be the same two people on that day, and you must not recognize each other at this time. If the two of them notice something, I'm afraid your family will never see each other again. Chen Busi became nervous,

"No, what should I do?"

"You listen to me, don't think, wait for your father and mother to incense, if they can't see you, they must go home first, and when they probably return home, you leave from Hantan Temple, the way home is not long, it is not short, you should pay attention along the way." Chen Busi looked at his father and mother in the hall again, and his father and mother were really a few meters away from him, but he couldn't see each other immediately, and he was annoyed.

Chen Wu and Yao Niang put on incense, worshiped sincerely, made a wish, and then went out of the temple. Out of the palace gate, Yao Niang said to Chen Wu,

"Chen Wu, do you think Deacon Yanqing of Hantan Temple will deceive the two of us? Why don't you see the shadow of my son's period? Chen Wu said,

"Deacon Yanqing is a member of the Buddhist family, and the Buddhist family will not lie and deceive me as two irrelevant ordinary people, so there must be a reason why he did not let my son come out today."

"As long as my son is still alive, then Yanqing is our benefactor, and I will definitely come to the temple every once in a while to bring some benefits." Chen Wu said,

"Since I knew that my son jumped off the cold pool, he didn't see anyone alive or dead, and we never came to the temple to pray, but today I temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet. I really blame our husband and wife, if we could have come over every once in a while, maybe my family would have been able to meet as soon as possible. ”

"In that case, let's invite Na Yanqing to meet again another day and ask for an explanation." Yao Niang said stupidly.

After Chen Wuyao finished speaking, she walked down the mountain together.
