Chapter 43: Providence
Meng Chuanxin said lightly: "Maybe, the woman she came into contact with was related to the man in black just now, so it would cause the other party to retaliate." However, even though we disagree with their actions, we can't let her be exposed to the wilderness. The disciples of Fuyunju are all people who believe in Buddhism, and they firmly believe that the soul returns to their homeland after death is a worthwhile life, so no disciple has ever been buried outside the residence after death. β
Meng Chuanqing looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Sister, don't you want to send her back?"
Meng Chuanxin nodded, "She has already opened her mouth to beg me... This can be regarded as her dying wish, and she must not be allowed to die with regrets!" Looking at Meng Chuanqing, there was a hint of resoluteness in her eyes, "A few of you go to the alliance leader's house! β
"No! I don't agree!" Meng said.
Meng Chuanxin was a little surprised by his reaction, frowned and asked, "Chuanqing, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Chuanqing glanced at the three women beside him and sighed, "I'm just not at ease." Since this disciple of Fuyunju is specially coaxing women to become monks, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger if you send her back like this? I don't want the news from the rivers and lakes a few days later that the eldest lady of Wulin Village has entered the empty door. β
Meng Chuanxin burst out laughing and said, "How is it possible? Is my concentration so bad? As long as I have no intention of becoming a monk, I will not waver no matter what they say, can they still force me to fail? Besides, I am still reluctant to be your younger brother, how can I easily cut my hair?"
Yan Shangci and Mai couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Meng Chuanxin smiling so happily. It was the first time they had seen her smile, and the woman had always been indifferent and sorrowful, and they thought she would never smile. It's just that they never thought that Meng Chuanqing's words could affect her emotions, maybe they will never understand how deep the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is, which no one or any emotion can surpass.
"But I'm still not at ease. You just said that they were so terrible, how can I let you go alone?" Meng Chuanqing said that he would not compromise anything, his kindness was based on the safety of the people around him, if he put his relatives in trouble because of his momentary kindness, he would rather be a selfish layman and be scolded by the world.
Meng Chuanxin knew what method to use to deal with this seemingly harmless but actually difficult brother, and said slowly: "Actually, there is no danger for you to go to the alliance leader's house? Do you think I won't be worried? It's just that sometimes, people are very helpless, knowing that the road ahead is full of dangers, but we still have to keep going. Because what we want is not a result, but an experience, an experience that makes us more mature and stable. Everyone's life needs to overcome many dangers and tests, whether it is to reach the top smoothly or fall halfway, it is the result of their own willingness to endure. So, I chose to move on, and if I was bound, it was all I had, wasn't it?"
Meng Chuanqing was like a deflated ball, lamenting, admitting defeat and bowing his head. His sister is very reasonable, and she talks about that kind of profound philosophy of life, which ordinary people can't understand. Just like Yan Shangci and Mai now, there is a big question mark on his head, and he can't find any words to refute it. After all, he has experienced too little, and he doesn't understand what vicissitudes are, maybe he should really go through something to make himself grow up as soon as possible.
"Okay! He looked at Yan Shangci and said, "Shangci, can you let Mai accompany my sister on a trip, the two of them will at least have a care when they are together." β
"Hmm. Yan Shangci nodded in agreement, and whispered in Mai's ear: "You must take good care of your sister, don't let the people of Fuyunju abduct her." The voice was small, but the siblings heard it and smiled at each other. In fact, what made Meng Chuanxin even happier was that Yan Shangci was more than a year older than her, but she was willing to call her sister, which shows that she has really given her heart to Meng Chuanqing.
Seeing that he had the opportunity to go far away, Mai happily tugged at Meng Chuanxin's sleeve and said, "Great! Miss, let's go and see together what kind of person this disciple of Fuyunju is, who can make countless men in the world bow their heads and cry." β
"Wheat girl, this is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, you can't be careless, you must not change your head bald!" Meng Chuanqing was not at ease, and told again.
Wheat patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry! I still have to accompany the young lady to get married! As long as I don't leave home, I will never let the eldest lady lose a hair." At this time, Mai changed his previous silence, as if he was a chivalrous woman, and he was arrogant, which made several people laugh.
Meng Chuanxin and Mai, one guarded the nun's body, and the other returned to the city to hire a carriage. And Meng Chuanqing and Yan Shangci continued to move forward and went outside the city to meet the alliance leader.
When the two arrived, except for Shu Yu, almost everyone who was supposed to arrive arrived. Seeing the two of them coming, Han Lingfeng was both happy and a little puzzled, and asked, "Yang Shaoxia, why are you two of you?"
Meng Chuanqing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, they have some personal matters to deal with, and it's inconvenient for them to come." He paused, and then said: "I'm just a hairy boy who has just entered the rivers and lakes, and I dare not be ashamed of the word young man, so the alliance leader doesn't need to call me like that, just call me by my name." He doesn't like this kind of overly polite and hypocritical title, which gives people a sense of oppression. Now that you're out of the cage, it's time to relax and be your truest self.
"Hehe..."Han Lingfeng said with a smile: "The young man is really extraordinary, since this is the case, I will call you Xiao Yang!"
At this moment, Nong Qiuyin in the crowd laughed out loud. Han Zhi, who was standing beside her, asked puzzledly, "Peasant girl, what are you laughing at?"
Nong Qiuyin looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him, his sweet dimples rippling on his face, and said with a smile: "It's nothing! I just happened to think of the little sheep raised in my backyard." β
Everyone suddenly understood the reason, and they all bowed their heads and laughed. Han Lingfeng was even more embarrassed, looked at Meng Chuanqing, and said, "I think, let's change the name!"
Meng Chuanqing's face was black, and he said in a deep voice: "What can 'oath' be better than 'Yang', it's even more ugly to hear when it is connected!" He is now beginning to regret why he chose this name at that time? Yang Oath, he didn't feel anything wrong at first, but now listening to Nong Qiuyin, it's really disgusting!
Yan Shangci saw that everyone had a strange expression, and he knew what they were thinking without guessing, so he was a little unhappy, and hurriedly spoke for his sweetheart: "The oath, the oath of the oath, is the embodiment of love and righteousness, and the continuation of love and loyalty, it can make countless infatuated people keep their promises for love, and they are fearless even if they die for that agreement." However, in the world, how many people dare to make an oath and keep their lives loyally? It is just an ordinary word, but how many people can understand its meaning?" Yan Shangci's clear eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Meng Chuanqing's body.
Meng Chuanqing looked at her with a little relief, after all, she still understood him. At that time, the meaning of his name was also this, and with his own zodiac sheep, he directly called "Yang Oath". At that time, he didn't think that there was a word called "homonym" in this world, so that it caused the embarrassing situation today. However, he has always been very open to things, so he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "It's okay, in fact, the sheep are quite cute, and I just treat you as praising me." β
He looked at the red-faced girl opposite, and said, "Your name is Nong'er, right? When you take me to your house to see the little sheep, I will compare with it, whether it is white or I am white." β
"I... I didn't mean that..."The girl was not too stupid, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she blushed and explained, "I didn't say you were a sheep..."
Meng Chuanqing looked at her embarrassment, as if she had bullied her, but before tears fell, she suddenly couldn't bear to worry about her anymore, so she raised her head and asked everyone: "Who? Which of you heard her say that I was a sheep? Why didn't I hear it? Brother Zhuang, did you hear it?"
Zhuang Fulou closed his mouth with a sword and looked up at the sky.
"Lao Tian, did you hear that?" Meng Chuanqing pointed the finger at the black-clothed young man again.
Lao Tian glanced at Nong Qiuyin and said lightly: "I only heard her say that she has a sheep at home, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." β
Meng Chuanqing asked the others one by one, and everyone was very interested in helping Nong Qiuyin to exonerate himself. Meng Chuanqing cast a comforting look at her, and said with a smile: "It's you who think about it yourself, no one hears it at all!"
"Really... Really?" flashing the big watery eyes, the girl's newly disappeared dimples reappeared on her face.
Such an innocent girl, no one can bear to make her sad, just looking at the innocent bright smile on her face, I feel that it is a kind of enjoyment, no matter how big the troubles will disappear.
"That's right!" Meng Chuanqing suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about the Shu Yu brother who was born at the same time as me, on the same month, and on the same day?
Nong Qiuyin said sweetly: "Yes, he is my brother, but..." she looked up at Han Zhichu, frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that he would come to me soon?"
Nong Qiuyin ran out of the hut in anger for a while, and bumped into Han Zhizhi head-on. The naΓ―ve girl was already easy to deceive, and she was angry, so she was deceived by Han Zhichu in a few words.
Han Zhichu smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't worry about the peasant girl, he should be there soon." β
At this moment, I heard someone shouting from a distance: "Nong'er!" Who else could Shu Yu be?
The boy rushed over, panting slightly, obviously consuming too much internal strength. Seeing that Nong Qiuyin was safe and sound, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "Nong'er, it's okay if you're fine, go back with me!"
Nong Qiuyin ran to Shu Yu and hugged him tightly, "Brother... I'm sorry to worry you, I'll never leave you again. She turned to look at Han Zhizhi, also with an apologetic face, and said, "Han Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I can't go to your house, I want to be with my brother." β
Han Zhichu looked surprised and exclaimed, "Peasant girl, you just promised me!"
Nong Qiuyin ignored him anymore, took Shu Yu's hand and prepared to leave, at this time, Mai Changfeng, who had not spoken, spoke: "Master Shu, please stay, I sincerely invite Gongzi to go to the alliance leader's house as a guest, I don't know if Gongzi is willing to go with him?"
Shu Yu glanced at him and said coldly: "I don't like to go to other people's homes as guests, just as I don't like others to come to my house as guests." Immediately, in the surprise of everyone, he changed a gentle smile again, and said to Nong Qiuyin very gently: "Nong'er, let's go back! β
Mai Changfeng still persuaded without giving up: "Doesn't Shu Gongzi want to get acquainted with these opponents of yours? Yang swears that Yang Gongzi was born at the same time as you in the same year, month, and day, don't you think it's very fateful?" Mai Changfeng always had a way to persuade Shu Yu, and he didn't show a trace of disappointment from beginning to end, at least when Han Lingfeng and Han Zhizhi heard Shu Yu say that he didn't want to be a guest and showed a disappointed look.
Shu Yu hesitated for a while, his eyes swept over Lao Tian and Zhuang Fulou one by one, and finally locked his gaze on Meng Chuanqing's body. I don't know why, when he first met him at the lion dance stage, he had an inexplicable affection for this boy who was born at the same time as him on the same year, month and day, as if he had the blood of his relatives on his body, which always reminded him of his mother. Therefore, he kept staring at Meng Chuanqing for a long time.
Meng Chuanqing also looked at him with a smile, "What I said is that it is indeed very fateful, and it would be a pity if we didn't become brothers." β
Shu Yu asked, "Are you going?"
"It's hard to resist hospitality!"
"You like to be guests at other people's homes?" said with a hint of confusion.
"I don't like to go to other people's homes, but with so many friends around, wouldn't it be a waste of fun if I didn't go?"
Shu Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Okay, I'll go too!" However, I don't like others to spoil my fun, since I was invited to go, you have to entertain me." β
Shu Yu's nod made Han Lingfeng and the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief, for them, the four of them agreed to be guests was only the first step. And the next step, which is definitely the most crucial step, will determine the path of everyone. Several people had their own thoughts and went to the alliance leader's house together, but they didn't know what was waiting for them?
