Chapter 11: Faith Collapsed
At the entrance of the lobby of the monastery, the middle-aged Taoist priest with a tired face stiffened, and the thumb of his right foot abruptly passed through the hole in the sneakers, embarrassingly naked, eager to cut out the three rooms and one hall on the ground, and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Donor, remember not to be impulsive, impulsiveness will create unfortunate ......"
The priest looked at Sima Bei, then at the middle-aged Taoist priest, frowned, and said, "Yang Bucheng, do you know this sister?" ”
"Dear Edward, I have some minor friction with this sister of yours, but it's not a big deal," Yang Bucheng brushed the dirty robe on his body, retracted the thumb of his right foot, and forced a smile, "Everyone is a friend, you help me talk about it, and I will find a way to bring Li Jing to your side to pray......"
When the priest heard Li Jing's words, the appearance of a gorgeously dressed woman immediately appeared in his mind, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, turned his head and comforted Sima Bei, "Sister, tolerance can make the world a better place, for the sake of me saving you and that child, don't worry about Yang Cheng anymore, he is a Taoist priest, and there is no great malice." ”
Sima Bei sneered, twisted his wrist a few times, came to Yang Bucheng's side, and said lightly, "One yard is one yard, no one can forgive the perpetrator for the victim......" Climbing Yang Bucheng's shoulder, he slowly walked into the lobby, "Don't worry, I won't have too much malice, at most I will be half dead, and I will definitely give you a breath!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a muffled sound of punches and kicks rang out in the hall of the monastery.
After three minutes and eighteen seconds, Sima Bei slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, sat down at the table with the fruit bowl with a big slash, patted the chair next to him, and raised his eyebrows at Yang Cheng, who slowly got up from the ground and had bruised eyes, and said, "Come, sit here, now we have no malice......
Yang Cheng bared his teeth and wanted to scold a few words, but under Sima Bei's cold eyes, he closed his trembling lips again, walked over with a bitter expression, sat cautiously, pinched a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, chirped twice, and hummed, "Rotten fruit is small, it is difficult to become a big material, it can only be a dish on the plate!" ”
The priest saw that Sima Bei's face was a little darker, and immediately snorted, sat opposite Sima Bei and Yang Bucheng, and said, "They are all brothers and sisters, forget about the past, don't take it to heart...... I have limited ingredients here, so I can only entertain everyone to eat these, don't be polite, eat with your belly open, it's not enough for me to get a little more, and only when I'm full will I have the strength to gossip. ”
Yang Cheng pursed his mouth, grabbed a large handful of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, suddenly caught a glimpse of the red juice on the priest's face, stretched out his finger and pointed at the priest's face, and said curiously, "What is on your face?" The anger is too big, and the nosebleeds are sticking to the face? ”
The priest was slightly stunned, wiped the red juice on his face with his fingers, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and said with a smile, "This is tomato juice, I accidentally splashed a few drops when I cut the fruit just now...... Do you want to taste it, it's sweet. ”
Yang Bucheng looked at the priest's outstretched fingers, rolled his eyes and said, "Dead open, I'm not a dog, I don't like to lick ......" glanced at Sima Bei next to him, coughed twice, picked up an unknown cucumber in the fruit bowl and handed it to Sima Bei, "It's all big men, a melon is a grudge!" ”
Sima Bei snorted coldly, glanced at the cucumber in Yang Bucheng's hand, shook his head and said, "If it's not ripe, don't eat it." ”
Just when Yang Bucheng wanted to say something more, a series of footsteps sounded at the door of the lobby.
The starfish with messy hair ran in with a roasted hare, came to Sima Bei's side excitedly, put the hare on the table, wiped the burnt black on his face, and said with a smile, "Wu Yesu, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I thought it was a little inconvenient to barbecue here, so I made a fire outside, and only brought it in after it was roasted......"
Sima Bei stared at the hare in front of him, sniffed carefully, pursed his lips and said, "Starfish, I have to say two words to you, how can you think so thoughtfully, you are too sensible......" Tearing off a rabbit leg and biting it hard, "Touched, I finally ate the hot one, thank you Wu Yesu!" ”
Haixing always felt inexplicably weird when he heard Sima Bei's words of thanking Wu Yesu, scratched his head, and smirked, "It's good to suit your appetite!" ”
Sima Bei tore off another rabbit leg, handed it to the starfish, and said casually, "Come, you can eat some too, don't be hungry, you are still developing!" ”
The starfish touched his bulging stomach and said with a smile, "I've already eaten it, this is for you, please enjoy it......"
Sima Bei sighed softly, and Yu Guang suddenly saw that Haixing seemed to be hiding something in his hand, and blinked his eyes and said, "It turns out that you also opened a small stove for yourself, then I'm welcome!" ”
Haixing noticed Sima Bei's gaze, immediately put that hand into his trouser pocket, smiled shyly, and didn't say anything, as if in order not to affect Sima Bei's meal, or to be attracted by the glass fish tank, turned around and walked away, came to the cabinet, stared at the two small goldfish in the fish tank, stunned.
Yang Bucheng looked at Sima Beida's happy appearance, and he was stunned.
The priest was also salivating for a while, pointed to the rabbit's buttocks, and said softly, "Sister, can I taste some?" ”
Sima Bei laughed, ripped off a piece of meat from the rabbit's buttocks, put it in front of the priest, and said heartily, "Of course! You give it a melon and fruit, and I will repay it with rabbit meat! ”
The priest glanced at the rabbit meat in front of him, made a cross on his chest, prayed silently, and then quickly grabbed the rabbit meat and fed it to his mouth, and sighed, "The rabbit is so cute, you really have to eat it in your stomach to be worthy of it!" He looked sideways at Yang Bucheng and blinked a few times, "I really admire you as Taoist priests, you can't eat meat, you can't drink alcohol, the Lord said that you want us to enjoy all things in the world......"
Sima Bei wondered, "No, Taoist priests can eat meat and drink bars, I have seen Taoist priests marry wives and have children before!" ”
The priest smiled slightly, "Taoist priests are also divided into factions, and the Zhengyi Sect can have no taboos, but Yang Bucheng is a true disciple, and the rules are strict, so he can be regarded as half a monk." ”
Yang Bucheng stared directly at the rabbit in Sima Bei's hand, and said sincerely, "Actually, I'm not a true disciple, I'm a liar." ”
Sima Bei and the priest were stunned, looking at Yang Bucheng with a puzzled face, and even stopped chewing rabbit meat.
Yang Bucheng coughed lightly, pointed to the rabbit meat in Sima Bei's hand, and said, "I'm not a Taoist, I can be your sister, and I can enjoy all things in the world......
The priest frowned, tilted his head, and stared at Yang Bucheng as if he had known each other on the first day.
Sima Bei pursed his lips and continued to bite the rabbit meat in a big gulp, and said vaguely, "What I hate the most is liars!" ”
Yang Bucheng swallowed his saliva, "Then I'm not a liar or a Taoist priest, can I be your sister?" ”
The priest's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Yang Bucheng in surprise, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly smelled a scorching smell, turned his head to look at the starfish who had been silently watching the goldfish, and asked, "Where did you make the fire just now?" ”
Starfish looked confused and pointed to the left side of the lobby, "It's just under the small window over there...... There's a lot of firewood there, and it's easy and fast to bake! ”
The priest looked at the flames that suddenly floated to the window, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and his face turned ugly, and said, "It's also convenient to cook us, and it's fast!" ”
As if to confirm the priest's words, the fire suddenly grew larger, and the wall on the left side of the lobby was suddenly covered with flames, and thick smoke gradually spread.
Yang Bucheng and the priest glanced at each other, immediately jumped up from the chair, rushed out of the lobby with an arrow, took off his clothes, soaked in the basin under the wall on the right side of the lobby, and then quickly ran to the left side of the lobby, beating the burning pyre and the wall.
Sima Bei also dragged the starfish holding the fish tank in his arms and rushed out of the lobby, glanced at a certain wooden barrel next to the door, quickly picked it up, strode towards the fierce fire, struggled to splash the water in the barrel, and shouted, "Let one go......
When the priest saw the barrel, his eyelids jumped, and he exclaimed, "Don't mess around! That's wine! It's still 52 degree liquor! ”
Wow!
The priest's words were still half a beat slower, and when the last word fell, a whole barrel of liquor was poured on the fire!
Rumble!
The fire grew so out of control that it spread to the roof of the monastery.
After a while, the entire monastery was on fire, and even the priest and Yang Bucheng brought basins of cold water one after another, but they could not extinguish it.
The priest looked at the slowly falling cross on the roof of the monastery and said, "Faith, it has collapsed! ”
The fire burned for a long time, burning the dark sky red.
Everyone on the island looked in the direction of the monastery at this moment, whether it was the villagers of the Good People Village or the residents of the Bad People Village, their faces were full of shock, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Damn Edward, in order to brush up on the sense of existence, he actually set the house on fire!" ”
The priest who was cursed by everyone wanted to cry without tears, his face was aggrieved, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look behind Sima Bei, and said angrily, "What about that unlucky child? ”
When Sima Bei heard this, he looked back, and sure enough, he found that the starfish had left at some point, looked around, suddenly squatted down, kneaded some wet soil somewhere, and explained with some embarrassment, "Xu is afraid that we will blame him, so where did he run to hide...... It's too unsafe at night, I'll look for him, and you can dissipate your anger, after all, he's still a child! ”
After saying this, Sima Bei turned around and walked quickly to the forest in the distance, followed the water stains sprinkled on the ground by the fish tank, and disappeared into a vast forest mist.
In the middle of the fog, the starfish came to the barbed wire wall with the fish tank in his hand, looked at a red-clothed man with a cloak on the other side of the barbed wire wall, and suddenly grabbed the two small fish in the fish tank, passed through the barbed wire hole, and handed them over.
The red-clothed man with his hair crooked his neck, stretched out his wrinkled right hand, and took two small goldfish that were jumping around, and they were fed directly into his mouth and crunched.
Starfish stood stunned, watching the man in red chew and swallow the little goldfish, as if this was not the first time he had seen such a scene.
After the man in red swallowed the two little goldfish completely, he exhaled a cold breath, took out an ear from his coat pocket, and gently placed it in the starfish's hand, and was about to raise his head to say something, but suddenly like a frightened animal, he suddenly turned around and jumped into the depths of the grass.
Starfish looked down at the ears in his hands, felt out what he had put in his trouser pocket earlier, put them together, and muttered, "It's a pair......"
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the white fog.
Sima Bei came to Haixing's side panting, and just wanted to say a few words of relief, but suddenly saw the two bloody ears in Haixing's hands, his face turned pale, and he said in shock, "Haixing, whose is this?" ”
Starfish tucked both ears into his trouser pockets, put a finger to his lips, and just whispered a word, "Shhh......hh
