Chapter 68: The Buddha Statue

The Mo brothers and sisters finished eating the baked cakes, and it was not too early.

Mo Xi was probably extremely sleepy, lying on Mo Qing's lap and yawning.

Seeing this, Lu Chunnian said: "The hour is not early, if you don't dislike it, please squeeze it with us." ”

As he spoke, he gave up the straw mat and invited the Mo family brothers and sisters over.

Levi suddenly slapped him on the arm and turned his head to wink at him.

Lu Chunnian didn't understand what it meant, and looked at Li Wei in a daze, with a puzzled expression.

Pei Yue hurriedly said: "Today we occupy your original position, let's leave." ”

Saying that, Pei Yue and Li Wei cleaned up together, planning to let go of the straw mats laid by the Mo family brothers and sisters.

Mo Qing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Don't bother, Xiaoxi and I don't sleep here at night." ”

Mo Yu also hurriedly said loudly: "Yes, yes, it's not early, don't you have to get up early tomorrow to go to Qingzhou?" Go to sleep, don't toss! ”

"Miss Mo......" Pei Yue said hesitantly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I slept on this straw mat, and my sister slept over there." Mo Yu pointed to the other side of the hall.

Pei Yue looked around after entering the main hall today, and there was nothing on the other side of the hall except for a bare table. He was worried that the Mo Qing sisters didn't want to sleep in the place where several of their big men slept, so he apologized: "I'm really sorry, we didn't expect ...... today."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's really okay." Mo Yu persuaded.

Without waiting for a few people to continue pulling, Mo Qing directly carried Mo Xi to the other side of the hall.

As soon as she raised her hand, a red silk flew out of her sleeve and hung between the beams, and she raised her foot to tap the table under the beams, and the whole person flew to the red silk.

Mo Qing hugged Mo Xi to find a good angle, and fell asleep on the red silk.

Lu Chunnian and Li Wei were dumbfounded.

Even Pei Yue and Pei Zhen were stunned.

I have always heard that there is a type of person who is light and can hang in mid-air for a long time, although Pei Yue has not seen it, he feels that the Mo Qing girl in front of him who can sleep in mid-air with only five feet of red silk should have some talent.

Pei Zhen touched the back of Pei Yue's hand, and Pei Yue bowed his head slightly.

It seems that this Mo Qing girl is hiding a lot of things.

Mo Yu has been happily and said in surprise: "I just said it, my little sister doesn't sleep here." Hey, let's go to sleep, let's sleep. ”

A few people fell asleep.

It was already the second half of the night, Pei Yue let Pei Xin sleep peacefully, and he came to watch the night.

He reviewed in his heart what Mo Yu said tonight.

Mo Yu is a sincere person, Pei Yue looked at his palm when he handed over the baked cake, his palm was full of calluses, Pei Zhen also said that he didn't have much kung fu, and he did seem to be an honest man who often did farm work.

When Mo Yu talked about the floods in Qingzhou that flooded the fertile land, he was indeed affectionate, and it didn't look like a fake, his identity should be real.

The problem is that this Mo Qing and Mo Xi, the two of them say that they are Mo Yu's sisters, but they are not similar in appearance, and they can't see any brother-sister friendship when they get along.

The rich and noble family has three wives and four concubines, many heirs, and it is reasonable that the friendship between brothers and sisters is not deep, but Mo Yu himself also said that he is a farmer, and his family will not be rich. has experienced natural and man-made disasters again, it stands to reason that this brother and sister friendship should be very deep, watching the three of them get along, especially Mo Yu and Mo Qing, it feels more like a master and a servant.

Mo Qing concealed her identity like this, and she didn't know what her intentions were.

Lu Chunnian seemed to have been infected with the wind chill by the wind during the day, he was a little breathless, and after falling asleep, his snoring gradually increased, and he also grinded his teeth, which was particularly prominent in this silent night.

Lu Chunnian himself fell asleep and couldn't wake up. Levi had been on the road for a day during the day, and he was also asleep at the moment.

Pei Zhen is a person who practices martial arts, and the senses of people who practice martial arts are different from ordinary people, and with such a person snoring like thunder lying next to him, he naturally can't sleep.

Before Pei Yue could move, Mo Yu, who had been lying down for a long time, opened his eyes.

Mo Yu suppressed his voice and said, "What's the matter, little brother? Can't you sleep because of the noise? As he spoke, he looked over to Lu Chunnian, and probed Lu Chunnian's forehead with his hand through Pei Yue.

"Your young master is probably blowing a cold wind, and the children of rich families are delicate and expensive, unlike us rough people." Mo Yu's words were ugly, but he didn't seem to care, and went straight to Lu Chunnian's robe with his hand.

Pei Yue and Pei Zhen were dumbfounded, not knowing what Mo Yu wanted to do, and they forgot to stop it for a while.

Lu Chunnian's robe was newly cut for him by the government this winter, saying that his biological mother made it for him by herself, and it was filled with the best cotton sent from Zhuangzi, which was light and warm to wear. Although the material is not too precious silk, it is also soft and skin-friendly.

Lu Chunnian cherishes it very much, and he wears it in his official robe on weekdays, and he is reluctant to take it off.

This time he was going to go far away, he didn't want to take it with him, but his biological mother was afraid that he would be homesick, so she insisted that he wear it and leave.

"The eldest young master of this embroidery building is different, the stitches of this dress are really powerful." Mo Yu sighed quietly.

Without waiting for Pei Yue and the others to react, Mo Yu pulled out a lump of cotton from Lu Chunnian's robe.

Mo Yu looked at the firelight, this cotton was snow-white and soft, and it was a good thing at first glance, different from the lumps of old cotton clothes on his body.

Mo Yu divided the cotton into three parts, one for Pei Zhen and one for Pei Yue. Seeing the two of them staring at him, Mo Yu explained: "Look at it, put this cotton ball into a ball, stuff one in one ear, and you can sleep in peace." ”

"Why is your young master snoring louder than me, a rough man, so noisy that people can't sleep. He is noisy with us, so let's get some cotton from him to plug our ears. ”

Mo Yu said as he formed the cotton ball, stuffed it into his ears, and then lay down.

Seeing that Pei Yue and the others were still stunned, Mo Yu said again: "Don't worry, I know that he is your master, I have nothing to do with the two of you, and I will not let your young master punish you." ”

Pei Yue was a little crying and laughing. He didn't know how to explain to Lu Chunnian when he woke up, his robe was torn and some cotton came out.

Pei Zhen learned from Mo Yu to stuff cotton into his ears, and after stuffing the cotton, the snoring was much quieter, and he could finally fall asleep.

Soon, Pei Zhen and Mo Yu both fell asleep.

That Mo Yu also snored, and the voice was indeed not as good as Lu Chunnian.

Pei Yue listened to the snoring of the two people in the hall one after another and fell into deep thought, according to Mo Yu's statement, Wu Daoquan had successfully entered Qingzhou for disaster relief.

Mo Yu said that the minister sent by the central government entered Qingzhou City half a month ago, opened a warehouse to release grain, and provided relief to the victims. A porridge stall was set up in Qingzhou City to give porridge to the victims every day.

In addition, the Qingzhou government also helped the residents of the city to rebuild their houses.

As for the people outside the city, the minister also sent people to visit the village door to door, count the damage caused by the flood, and said that they would report to the imperial court and exempt them from taxes this year.

As for Huang Yi'an, the Qingzhou Taishou who concealed the Qingzhou flood for his own selfish interests and ignored the people of Qingzhou, he has been arrested by the minister of the Qincha and locked up in the cell of the Qingzhou Mansion.

Everything seems to be in good order, both to appease the people and to arrest corrupt officials.

But why did Lu Chunzhi disappear?

It stands to reason that if Huang Yi'an, the Taishou of Qingzhou, has been imprisoned in the cell of the Qingzhou Mansion, there should be no resistance, then how could Lu Chunzhi, who came with Wu Daoquan, disappear? Obviously, this Wu Daoquan is still sitting in the Qingzhou Mansion to help the victims.

Unless, Lu Chunzhi found something terrible, and the other party was afraid that Lu Chunzhi would report it to the imperial court, so he tied up Lu Chunzhi.

Thinking of this, Pei Yue's heart jumped. That Huang Yi'an has already gone to prison, if Lu Chunzhi disappeared because he really found out something, then I'm afraid Huang Yi'an is not a real big tiger.

In this way, there are all kinds of forces entrenched in this Qingzhou City, and Lord Li Wei once said about the Qingzhou Salt Field, this is probably a tough battle.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.

Huang Yi'an, as a party guard, has an official position two levels higher than Wu Daoquan, since he can be caught obediently, maybe this Wu Daoquan is not clean.

If this Wu Daoquan is really in the same league with the forces behind Qingzhou, then Lu Chunzhi's disappearance may not be able to do anything with him.

It seems that this trip to Qingzhou is a tough battle.

Early morning.

When Lu Chunnian woke up, he was the only one left on the straw mat.

Lu Chunnian looked at the empty hall and panicked. The fire in the temple was extinguished, and only the charcoal that had been burned out was still emitting white smoke.

Luckily, the luggage is still there.

Lu Chunnian breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly got up.

Pushing open the door of the hall vigorously, he saw Pei Yue and several people surrounding the side hall.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chunnian walked over with his arms crossed.

Pei Zhen, who was standing at the outermost, gave him a place, and then he saw that the chest of the Buddha statue in the side hall was broken, and the two kittens were cautiously poking their heads out.

"When I saw that the fire was extinguished, I wanted to come to this side hall to find some wood, but I found that there were two kittens in the belly of this Buddha statue." Mo Yu scratched his head happily, and he smiled innocently.

"No wonder I heard a noise when I came to this side hall last night to look for wood, and I thought it was a mouse from somewhere, but it turned out to be two kittens." Pei Zhen said.

"The Buddha statue hides all beings in its heart. Unexpectedly, this forgotten broken Buddha statue actually became a shelter home for these two kittens. Pei Yue sighed, he never believed in gods and Buddhas, but when he saw this Buddha statue with low eyebrows and a smile and a compassionate face, and saw these two thin kittens, he also felt a little awe.

Levi said, "A broken god can also save the world." People in the world always say that the mud bodhisattva is difficult to protect himself when crossing the river, but the bodhisattva is a bodhisattva, even if he is in the quagmire, he will not hide his light, and he will not lose the faith of all sentient beings. ”

Mo Xi whispered: "Sister, how can they eat when they live in the belly of the Buddha statue?" ”

Mo Qing didn't speak.

The people present also knew that in such a cold weather, even if the two little ones had a shelter from the wind and rain, there would be no food to eat, and the cat would not live for a few days if it went on like this.

If you meet someone who is about to starve to death, you may become someone else's ration.

Pei Yue took out a piece of baked cake and carefully placed it on the chest of the Buddha statue, trying to lure the two kittens out.

The two kittens were very vigilant, smelled the aroma of food, and trembled out their heads, and when they saw that there were people around them, they quickly got back into the Buddha statue.

Pei Yue called softly: "Meow-meow-"

It was so funny. Pei Yue is a well-known humble gentleman in the capital, he has always been polite, gentle as jade, and no one knows the sons and brothers in the capital. Later, Pei Yue even won the three yuan, and Lu Chunnian also went to see it when he rode a horse on the street, and he secretly sighed that this Pei Yue was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people.

When Pei Yue entered Dali Temple, he became Lu Chunnian's top boss, and he became an example for Li Wei to learn from.

Such a beautiful person actually learned cat barking here.

Lu Chunnian couldn't help but sneer, attracting everyone's attention, Lu Chunnian hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, Pei-accompany, we are here with Ah Yue, I'm afraid it will scare the kitten." ”
