Chapter 93: See You Again in This Life

Shang Zhen'er stumbled into the door, and saw that her mother He Maihua was anxiously looking out of the door, so she suddenly threw herself into her arms: "Mother......"

He Maihua panicked and hurriedly asked, "Zhen'er, what's wrong?" Zhen'er, don't scare your mother. Shang Zhen'er saw that her father and brother were there, so she calmed down, wiped the tears on her face, turned around and shouted outside the house: "Master, come in and drink saliva." Only then did everyone realize that there was a young monk standing outside the gate.

The monk was dressed as a walking monk, carrying a medicine bag made of canvas, holding a bamboo cane as tall as a person, looking particularly spiritual and neat, hearing Shang Zhen'er greet, he stepped into the door, clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, I am really a little thirsty, please make it convenient for the donor, there is a labor donor." He bowed to the people in the room.

Shang Zhen'er brought an enamel teacup that she usually uses, poured a cup of herbal tea from the teapot placed on the square table in the hall, added a little hot water, and then handed it to the monk. The monk took it with both hands, drank it in one breath, wiped the foam on his mouth and said, "Amitabha, thank you, donor, after a day's drive, my throat is smoking." ”

The young monk glanced at the people in the room, and saw Shang Zhen'er's family looking at him inexplicably, before he opened his mouth to explain: "Your young lady met a wolf, maybe she was a little frightened. It's okay, I have some medicine here that can be used. ”

It turned out that when it was approaching the evening, Shang Zhen'er made a few wedding dresses for her employer's daughter, packed up the handicraft belongings she had brought with her, and prepared to come back the next day to do the rest of the work. After having dinner at the employer's house in Wangjia Village, I hurried out of the house.

Shang Zhen'er walked out of Wangjia Village and got on the main road, it was just getting dark. Wangjia Village and Shangjia Village are only separated by a hill, so she thought about taking a shortcut, so she didn't take the big road under the mountain she usually walked. I thought to myself that as long as I climbed a small hill, I would soon be home. This mountain road is also often walked by himself, and besides, there is a big black dog with him, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Where could she have thought that as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

Shang Zhen'er had just climbed to the top of the hill when she saw two black shadows flash, and the two wolves quietly flew out of the grass. The black dog screamed and took the initiative to rush forward and bite a wolf. The wolf was so fierce that when he turned around, the black dog was bitten by it. The wolf shook it hard, and the black dog was defeated. The other wolf squatted aside, with two glowing green eyes, staring at the frightened Shang Zhen'er.

Shang Zhen'er was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, watching the wolf approach her step by step. The black dog protector, who had been injured, was heartbroken, and quickly got up and pounced forward, and after the two wolves were stunned for a moment, they bit the black dog left and right. The black dog desperately entangled with the two wolves, desperately biting.

Seeing that the black dog was invincible, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Shang Zhen'er, and the figure holding a bamboo cane quickly swept towards the two evil wolves. Strange to say, the two wolves saw the sweeping bamboo cane, and after catching a glimpse of the man's agile figure, they immediately ran into the woods, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shang Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the seriously injured black dog was trembling on all fours, lying motionless beside her, and the eyes of the two dogs were full of horror. She lovingly touched the black dog's head and rubbed the blood on her hands.

Shang Zhen'er looked up and saw a young monk in dark gray monk's robe and leggings tied in front of her, and wanted to stand up and speak to express her gratitude, but she was frightened because of her mental tension just now, and she couldn't use any strength.

The monk smiled and said, "These two wolves are always scurrying around in the North Mountain, they are my old opponents, and they have been scared by me, don't you see them scared away when they see me?" It's okay, don't be afraid. Shang Zhen'er felt a little magical at this time, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, master, for saving me." ”

The monk handed the bamboo cane in his hand to Shang Zhen'er, Shang Zhen'er pulled the bamboo cane in the monk's hand and stood up with strength, only then did he feel a severe pain in his ankle and it was difficult to stand firmly. The monk looked at it and said, "It should be a broken foot, you stand still, I'll show you." As he spoke, he bent down and reached out to touch it, and then pressed and pinched it hard, and Shang Zhen'er felt back to normal after the momentary pain.

Shang Zhen'er looked at the monk and said, "Master is really a god, thank you for coming to the rescue." I seem to have seen you somewhere. ”

The monk smiled and said, "I am the monk Huiji of the Banshan Temple, if you have ever been to the Banshan Temple, you may have seen me, it will not be surprising." It's just that I've been practicing medicine outside for many years, and my days in the temple are less. ”

Shang Zhen'er remembered that she had indeed seen Huiji in the Banshan Temple. On that day, Shang Zhen'er went to Banshan Temple to burn incense and pray for his mother He Maihua, and Huiji was also like now, carrying a medicine bag and holding a bamboo cane, when he was about to go down the mountain, the two looked at each other at the mountain gate, and Shang Zhen'er recorded his figure.

Shang Zhen'er didn't expect that the second time they met, Huiji would save herself, so she said with some fear: "If it wasn't for the master just now, I might have died." ”

Huiji said indifferently: "It's also a coincidence, I've been in Wangjia Village for the past few days, treating Uncle Wang in the east of the village, and Uncle Wang is almost cured." I went to the mountains early this morning, found some medicinal materials, and prepared for Uncle Wang in the evening, and prepared to go back to Banshan Temple, which is also the road I often take. When I went up the mountain, I saw you in the back, but I was afraid that I would inadvertently scare you, so I kept some distance from you and followed behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the top of the mountain, I met those two wolves again. ”

After Shang Zhen'er calmed down, she walked around, and her ankle was completely painless. She remembered her mother's long-paralyzed leg, and wondered if she could ask Huiji to try to show it: "Master Huiji, when my mother was working in the mountains five years ago, she accidentally fell and injured her leg, and then her right leg was paralyzed, and I don't know if there is any way to cure it." ”

Huiji looked at the dark sky, thought for a while and said, "I'll send you down the mountain, by the way, take a look at your mother's leg, there must be medicine, whether you can stand up again, you have to look to know." ”

After listening to what Shang Zhen'er said, the family regarded Huiji as Zhen'er's life-saving benefactor. Huiji said very calmly: "Amitabha, the monks have compassion, so you don't have to worry about this little thing. She may have been frightened, I've got some medicine here, drink it once tonight, and I'll be fine again tomorrow night. ”

Huiji carefully touched and kneaded He Maihua's two legs with his hands, and after about a quarter of an hour, he said affirmatively: "Amitabha, the eldest mother's legs can still be cured." Just be patient and take herbs for more than half a year. He Maihua said hopefully: "As long as I can cure my waste leg, the master will let me take medicine for a lifetime, and I am also willing." ”

Shang Xiaohu saw that Huiji was not vain in his words and deeds, so he also said gratefully: "If the master can cure my mother's leg, I must go to the Banshan Temple to burn high incense, I heard that the Banshan Temple is going to be rebuilt, I will do my best to donate money and materials, if I need carpentry, I will do volunteer work, even if I have a good relationship with the Banshan Temple, our family will not treat the master badly." ”

Huiji re-packed his bags and said: "Amitabha, if it can be cured, it is also the creation of the eldest mother, so you don't have to worry about it, let alone worry about Huiji." If you want to be grateful, do good deeds always. Huiji will go up the mountain tomorrow to collect medicine, if you successfully pick a few medicines, I will come over the day after tomorrow to start treating my aunt. ”

Listening to Huiji's words, the family was overjoyed. Lao Shang looked at the dark night outside the house, looked back at Huiji and said, "It's midnight, the master will stay here for the night, and it's not convenient to go back to the temple." Huiji thought about it and agreed, and Shang Xiaohu gave up his bed to Huiji.

Early the next morning, Huiji carried the medicine bag and bamboo cane into the mountain, collected more than a dozen kinds of herbs, and then returned to the Banshan Temple. It took another day to refine the plaster, and then went to Shangjia Village with the medicine bag on his back.

After more than three months of meticulous treatment by Huiji, He Maihua felt that her right leg had obvious strength, and although she could not stand, she could move flexibly. After another three months, she was gradually supported by others, until she was able to stand up completely, and after a few more days, she really returned to normal.

Huiji saw that He Maihua's right leg had healed, so he took out a bag of black pills the size of walnuts from the medicine bag and said, "Amitabha, there is no need for external treatment, take this pill every ten days in the future." After eating, you can completely heal. Amitabha, Huiji is also leaving. ”

Lao Shang asked gratefully, "Is the master going back to Banshan Temple?" Huiji said with a gloomy expression: "Amitabha, I can't go back, Huiji is going to travel far." As he spoke, he picked up the medicine bag and held the bamboo cane, and left Shangjia Village without looking back, and no one in the Shang family noticed the tears in Shang Zhen'er's eyes. By the time Shang Zhen'er chased her out of the village, Huiji had already gone away.

Not long after, He Maihua found that something was wrong with Shang Zhen'er's body, and after questioning, she learned that her daughter was pregnant with Huiji's child. He Maihua was at a loss, she also knew that Huiji was a very good person, but he was a monk after all.

Shang Zhen'er looked at her father and mother with tears in her eyes, and told the secret in her heart: "Don't blame Huiji, I hurt him, not him." I was willing, I was looking for him, I wanted to keep him. I hid from Huiji and went to the temple to ask Huiji's master to return Huiji to the vulgar, although I said a lot, Huiji's master listened to my request, but he always closed his eyes and remained silent. ”

The day after Shang Zhen'er went to Banshan Temple to ask the old monk to let Huiji return to the world, Huiji told Shang Zhen'er: "I'm leaving Banshan Temple, leaving Beishan." Buddhism has the precepts of Buddhism, and the master has the rules of the master. Where I'm going, I can't be sure. You have to take care of yourself, and we won't talk about anything else. ”

Shang Zhen'er said with tears in her eyes: "Huiji knew that I went to his master, but he didn't mention anything, just let me take care of myself, he couldn't do anything." This matter is completely my own initiative, my mother must not blame him, and my father must not blame him. It was I who hurt him, so that he had to leave the Banshan Temple and had to leave the North Mountain. ”
