Be steadfast in being a passerby Verse 138
On the first day Li Shang returned home, he brought Li Jiujiu back. At the dinner table, Xin Shansi watched her gluttonous girl eat egg custard in large bites, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Dr. Li: "You still know her best." ”
"It's easy to feed." Mrs. Hong smiled at her great-granddaughter, "Did you say that great-grandmother said it?" ”
Li Jiujiu ate deliciously, was in a beautiful mood, and fluttered his two small arms. Xue Bingning was still a little worried: "After eating half a bowl of porridge oil in the morning and using egg custard in the evening, will she be swollen?" ”
Ye Mingli said: "It's okay, you can eat and bear." ”
A small half bowl of egg custard is in the stomach, and Li Jiujiu still feels that it is not enough. Li Shang sandwiched two steamed buns and gave them to her, and asked her to hold one in each hand.
The two roe deer that Jiang Cheng and Cheng Ye arrested yesterday have already been served on the table today. More than a dozen catties of meat, plus fish stewed tofu, sour cabbage, and steamed eggs, this meal can be regarded as very rich.
After using up a bowl of rice, Hong Huaqi saw that the egg custard had bottomed out, and asked the brothers at the table: "Which of you still wants egg custard?" ”
Hong Huali directly handed him the egg custard: "No one wants it, you can mix it with some rice and eat it clean." ”
"Gotcha." Hong Huaqi loves egg custard bibimbap the most, and it is slippery in the mouth.
After dinner, Hong Nanfeng walked around the courtyard twice and brought a small urn of water under the eaves into Lu Yao's house. In the corner of the wall is placed a diagonal remnant jar, which contains mountain stones, and scattered greenery is distributed on it. This is a half-made bonsai scene made by Shansi, and he and Brother Lu are very happy. Dip your fingers in water to add some wetness to the rocks.
When Lu Yaozu came back from outside, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Brother Hong squatting in the diagonal jar: "Isn't it very peaceful?" ”
"Yes." Hong Nanfeng looked at the miniature of the mountain in the tank, thinking of the people in the mountains, the ancient bells that seemed to be absent echoed in his ears, and his heart was the deep forest birds, and the flowing water...
"It's not the right time." Lu Yaozu stood behind him: "If it's summer, we can go into Shengran Mountain to find some stones with moss to build a bonsai in the middle of the pot." It's more secluded, and it's certainly better than that. ”
Yes, Hong Nanfeng was pleased: "In the future, when we walk around the tunzi, we can see who has broken porcelain." I think that this diagonal jar is much more elegant than the flower porcelain ornaments found at a high price. ”
In the west room of the main house, Xin Shansi sat on a small stool with Li Jiujiu, who was sleepy. Li Shang mixed the water, placed it in front of the two of them, took off Li Jiujiu's shoes and socks, washed his little feet, and sniffed: "Well, it doesn't stink." ”
"No, you make it clear..."Xin Shansi grabbed the girl's little fleshy paw and pointed at her father: "Whose little feet stink?" ”
Li Jiujiu propped up his eyelids and looked at his father, his little mouth still deflated.
"You don't understand, do you?" Li Shang bent his lips, and when he saw that his daughter was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, she hurriedly lowered her head and kissed her little feet like steamed buns: "It's not smelly, it's not smelly." ”
After cleaning up Li Jiujiu and putting it on the kang, Xin Shansi washed up and followed the kang. Xu Shi just ate the custard, and Li Jiujiu relieved his mouth after drinking a few sips of milk.
After three days of fine weather, the eaves finally stopped dripping. Sheng Ran Mountain started, there was no shortage of people at home, Cheng Yuliang and Qi Jian followed Jiang Cheng and Cheng Ye out together. After Li Shang consulted with his grandfather, he was ready to wait for the road to dry up before going to see the land.
At noon, the weather was warmer, and Fengxiao removed the curtains of several houses to let the room breathe and see the light. Lu Yao moved the diagonal cylinder out to dry.
After the meal, Xin Shansi slept for a long time, and was about to turn over the sewing basket when he heard a knock on the door and turned his head to look.
Lu Yao walked to the courtyard gate: "Who?" ”
"You can do the math." A male voice came from outside the door.
Obscure? Li Shang, who came back from the backyard, couldn't help frowning, why did he come? Lu Yao really wanted to go back and get the life ruler according to his words, and then open the door after calculating. But... Forget it, he can hold a boat in his belly, and adults don't remember villains.
The door opened, and Li Shang looked out of the door... The three of them blinked, their eyes did not linger on Meng Yao's body for long, and looked at the one standing at the front and the shortest.
Meng Yao glanced down, he didn't expect the little living Buddha to come so quickly.
Fan Qing looked at the woman who walked out of the main room, took off the wrapped cotton jacket with his own hands, revealed the small red robe he was wearing, untied his headscarf, raised his legs and stepped into the courtyard, steadily reached her father-in-law, folded his hands together, and bowed his head: "Fan Qing pays a visit to Senior Sister." ”
What? Xin Shansi couldn't turn around, her master had been dead for fourteen years, where could she be such a young junior brother? Looking at the little guy, is he five years old?
Why is your old man still standing and not going to explain to Uncle Xiaoshi? Meng Yao looked at his own master and uncle who was pestle in front of him, and the person who had taken Fan Qing to Demon Huilin early the day before yesterday had taken him by surprise.
In the huge courtyard, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle. Li Shang shifted his gaze to Meng Yao. Meng Yao cleared his voice, and seeing that the master did not react, he raised his hand and gently pushed: "You are talking." ”
The old monk entered the courtyard, walked to the right side of Fan Qing, and counted the strings of black beads with both hands: "Old monk Saruo, the teacher of Luo Lin, is your contemporary." ”
Looking at the monks' robes, they knew that they were from Xifolong Temple, Xin Shansi raised his hand and saluted: "Senior brother." ”
"Senior sister doesn't have to be polite." Saruo smiled: "Fan Qing is a newly welcomed living Buddha in the temple, three years old, and has been recorded in the name of Uncle Xuanling, second to you. I am here for his mentorship. ”
"Do you want the Thirteen Chapters of the Mixed Yuan Sutra?" Xin Shansi's tone changed.
"Yes and no." Saruo was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he said bluntly: "If you have excellent qualifications and temperament, it is best to practice the "Thirteen Chapters of the Mixed Yuan Sutra". The temple ordered me to take him into the Central Plains to find you, and it was indeed for the "Thirteen Chapters of the Mixed Yuan Sutra", but it was not to ask for it, but to ask you to teach him personally. ”
What? Xin Shansi lowered her eyes and looked at the little monk, let her teach? Li Shang was also a little surprised, Xifolong Temple handed over the little living Buddha to Shan Siyang?
Fan Qing's thick eyelashes lifted slightly, and he looked up, not evading the scrutiny of his senior sister.
There was no emotion in his eyes, but there was a pure innocence. Xinshansi's gaze left his eyes and came to his cheeks. The striking scar made her frown.
Doesn't my sister like him? Fan Qing's mouth pursed slightly, and the divine light in his eyes dimmed. He wanted to learn great kung fu so that no one could throw him away to feed the wolves.
Is he four feet tall? Xin Shansi didn't have the confidence to cultivate him into a talent, so she raised her eyes and looked at Saruo: "Senior brother, I may not be able to..."
"You made the scene in the tank?" Saro interrupted her refusal and pointed to the diagonal jar three paces away. For no reason, he intuitively felt that this ingenuity came from the little junior sister.
Xin Shansi looked at it and bowed his head: "Yes, but it's not done yet." ”
"The mountains are steep, and the wild pines sit in meditation." Saruo withdrew his hand and continued to twist the beads: "Senior sister is in such a state of mind, why are you afraid that you will not be able to teach Fan Qing?" He had seen it before he entered the courtyard gate. It was precisely because of this vat that he was settled.
Wan Er smiled, Xin Shan thought and said: "Putting the scenery in the jar is just a little joke of mine, and it doesn't explain anything." ”
"You can put the scenery in the jar and construct it so empty, it is enough to show that you have a world in your heart." Saruo looked at the little junior sister: "Fan Qing will not let you down." ”
Meng Yao, who was still standing outside the courtyard, turned his head and motioned to Bard, who was three feet away, to put Fan Qing... Uncle Xiao's luggage was brought in. Bard immediately took the burden that had been placed on the seat and sent it forward.
After taking the hand, Meng Yao entered the courtyard, closed the door with his feet, and strolled to the back of an old man and a young man: "One of you is a belt, and two of you are also a belt." Uncle Fanqing will be four years old after the New Year, and he can take care of himself when he washes and eats, and he doesn't need to spend a lot of energy..."
"Do you just use the tube to wash and eat when raising children?" Xin Shansi glared at Meng Yao and looked down at her master's little apprentice: "How did you come to the Central Plains?" ”
Fan Qing replied: "Walking." ”
The voice was soft, Xin Shansi looked at his frostbitten hands, and couldn't help but feel pity, but she still couldn't make up her mind, and turned her head to look at Dr. Li.
Li Shang couldn't help laughing and proposed, "Do you want Lu Yao to calculate a hexagram?" ”
Such an important matter should be left to him to decide? Lu Yao was serious, waiting for the words of his nephew and daughter-in-law.
Ignoring them for now, Mrs. Hong and Grandma Li went into the kitchen to make tea. Man Xiu picked up a few dim sum and put them on a plate and placed them on the table in the hall.
Xin Shansi looked at him from all sides and nodded: "Give me and my junior brother a hexagram." After speaking, he asked, "Is Buddhism taboo this?" ”
Saruo said with a smile: "Xifolong Temple is not too taboo. "Fortune telling, and asking the Buddha for a lot, is no different from him.
Lu Yao glanced at Meng Yao, turned around and went back to the house to get the life ruler, took three coppers and came out, stood between the senior sisters and brothers, and asked, "Which of you will throw it first?" ”
Fan Qing looked at his senior sister: "The elders come first. ”
"Yes." Xin Shansi didn't care, took the copper, and threw it away at will after Lu Yao unfolded the life-breaking ruler. Lu Yao stared at the copper settled, pinched a few knuckles, picked up the copper on the broken ruler and handed it to Xiao Fanqing, while his left hand sank.
Fan Qing followed the example of Senior Sister, held the small fist of copper and came to the top of the ruler and spread his five fingers. Behind him, Meng Yao looked at the broken wooden ruler that Lu Yao was holding, and his eyes were dark.
When the copper settled, Lu Yao pinched his fingers, and soon his expression became complicated, and after calculating, he glanced at his nephew, put away the copper and the life-breaking ruler, and said: "There is a fate of master and apprentice, but there is no name of master and apprentice." ”
"And then?" Li Shang is not blind, and his eyes are still very good.
And then... Lu Yao snorted and turned to face his nephew and daughter-in-law: "You have a deep relationship with him," put his hand behind his back, "We have to teach him well." ”
Meng Yaojue, this is something that doesn't need to be thought about at all. Fan Qing's identity is clear, as long as he can grow up, he can be the master of half of the West Folong Temple. If Kung Fu is like his master and sister, then the other half of the West Folong Temple, he will also do it. Of course, the premise is that the heart is right.
Li Shang looked at Lu Yao's face and tasted what he said.
Okay, Xin Shansi raised her hand and scratched the back of her neck, and said to her little junior brother, "I'm very strict. ”
"A strict teacher makes a high apprentice." Saro agrees with the strictness.
"If you are not afraid, you will work hard." Xiao Fanqing made a very solemn guarantee.
Xin Shansi nodded: "Okay, you stay." ”
With a decision, Feng Xiao stepped forward to take over Fan Qing's luggage, led him to the east wing and south room, and found an empty suitcase to come out: "You organize all the luggage into the suitcase." ”
"Okay." Fan Qing was very happy to be able to stay and learn martial arts, and folded his hands: "Fan Qing will be disturbed in the future." "This is what my brother taught him before he came.
"Don't bother." Feng smiled at the little man, and the appearance of his son slowly appeared in his mind, and he touched the scar on Fan Qing's cheek.
Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, did not dodge, looked at the adult who wrinkled his brows like glass, and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Picking at the scar with his nails, Feng Xiao frowned slightly: "You pack your luggage first." "If you want to get rid of these scars, you have to break them open and grow them again. The medicine for the preparation of soothing ointment is not easy to obtain. But... Listening to the sound of conversation outside the house, he turned on his heels and walked to the bookcase.
Xin Shansi was asking about the scar on Fan Qing's face, but Saruo did not hide it, and told Fan Qing about his abduction in detail.
After boiling the tea, Mrs. Hong walked out of the kitchen and gave the old man who was standing behind her granddaughter a look. Hong Nanfeng understood and said, "Don't stand outside, you go into the house and sit and talk." ”
It was her rudeness, and Xin Shansi turned sideways to ask.
Saruo did not greet her, but went up the steps into the hall. Lu Yao was about to follow, but his shoulder was grabbed, he turned his head to look and asked, "Fortune telling?" ”
Meng Yao glanced at Li Shang, who was watching from the side, and said to Lu Yao: "You have a hexagram of three taels of silver..."
"It's not." Lu Yao corrected: "If you use the fortune ruler to calculate, it is a hexagram of 100 gold. ”
"Yes." Meng Yao just wanted to see the legendary "half-foot breaking wood and measuring the robbery" and withdrew his hand.
Lu Yao turned around and handed out the three coppers: "What do you want to count?" ”
"Fate." Meng Yao picked up the copper in his palm. Li Shang had no intention of leaving, holding his arms with both hands, watching the play.
Lu Yao took out the life-breaking ruler, pointed his eyes, and unfolded the ruler. Meng Yao threw the copper coin, and didn't care where the copper coin fell, and turned his head to look at Li Shang: "You won't have paid attention to the rumors outside recently, right?" ”
"I'm very quiet, and no one has come to the door to eradicate evil." The corners of Li's lips hooked slightly: "Is Qinfeng Building still going well?" ”
Meng Yao smiled: "The idea that Uncle Shi gave me is very good. He looked back at Lu Yao, who was pinching his fingers, "The treasures and jewels of the eleven families have all been transported to Demon Huilin, what do you think about this?" ”
Li Shang shook his head: "No." ”
"Then I'll take care of it." Meng Yao said: "After disposing of it, I will send your share." ”
"Okay." Li Shang has no opinion.
"There's one more thing..."Yu Guang saw that Lu Yao stopped calculating, and Meng Yao turned his head to look at him: "When Figure 8 and Figure 6 disbanded Qinfeng Tower, I told the people of Qinfeng Tower that you would detoxify them." ”
"Got it." Li Shang said: "In two days, I will let Fengxiao set up a card in Shengran Mountain." Tomorrow at the beginning of spring, I will build a medicine house at the foot of Shengran Mountain, and relieve the blazing love of ten taels of silver, and the poison next to it will be priced. ”
At the foot of Shengran Mountain, build a grass house? Meng Yao chuckled: "The Li family in Tanzhou is indeed shrewd. ”
"The prince has won the prize." Li Shang let go of his arms: "We, ordinary people, are full of just wanting to live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life without worrying about food and drink for a few days, and we have no other lofty ambitions. ”
It's a good time to live happily, but it's a pity that I don't have a chance with him. He was born with Meng Yao, and he was already destined to fight, so he blinked lightly and motioned for Lu Yao to speak.
"You want a fortune teller?" Lu Yao confirmed.
Meng Yao nodded: "Yes." ”
Lu Yao lowered his eyes and looked at the three coppers on the life ruler: "Your life is in the 'phoenix' body." ”
"Phoenix?" Meng Yao was puzzled.
"This phoenix is still a fake phoenix."
