Chapter 26: In the Temple of Confucius (9)
Shen Bingxue exclaimed, retreated behind his mother, and looked at it intently, the person who came was in rags, his hair was unkempt, and he was holding a cane in his hand, it was actually the beggar uncle who had saved him outside the gate.
The beggar was still wearing the cotton clothes and shoes given by Shen Bingxue, his eyes stared at Mrs. Acacia, and there was an indescribable look on his face: his mouth was slightly open, as if he had a lot to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
Acacia Shi Tai had already jumped up from the chair, looked at the person in front of him, hesitated in a dream, and rubbed his eyes, but who was not the person who was entangled in enmity?
The two looked at each other silently for a long time, and Mrs. Acacia's eyes noticed that the man's clothes were in tatters, his nose was sour, and he was almost about to roll down tears, so he hurriedly turned around and quietly wiped it away, before he turned around and said, "You...... You may be seated. When he said these words, he seemed to have used all his strength.
Shen Bingxue watched from the side, feeling extremely strange in her heart: "It seems that my mother and the beggar uncle know each other." Yes, when I was at the house of the Heroic Wind Dart Bureau, didn't Uncle Beggar say a few times that I was like my mother? Uncle Beggar and Uncle Beggar obviously knew my mother. Suddenly, his heart was touched, and he shouted in his heart: "That's right, that's right, in the past few months, I have traveled thousands of miles, and I can always turn evil into good fortune, and I must be a beggar and uncle secretly protecting each other." Otherwise, how can you be so lucky every time. Pity me for being a big idiot, but I haven't noticed it. I also vaguely felt that the reason why the beggar uncle followed secretly and never showed up was because it was much safer and more convenient to protect secretly, but also because he could follow him to find his mother. Therefore, not long after he arrived at the Acacia Temple, the beggar uncle also arrived. I'm afraid he also arrived a long time ago, but he didn't show up.
The beggar didn't sit down, and said astringently, "Sister Si, are you okay?" Before he finished speaking, his face was already slightly red. Acacia Shitai said: "I ...... I ......" suddenly lowered his head, clasped his palms and said: "Lord Qiao, I have now taken refuge in Buddhism, and my Dharma name is Acacia. This sentence is almost word by word, and when you say a few words, you need to pause, and it is extremely difficult to speak.
The beggar shook his head, took out an object from his bosom, held it in his hand, and said, "Sister Si, give this thing back to you." Why did you throw it away?"
The thing is square, and it is the evil box that was thrown out of the window by the lovesick master.
Shen Bingxue sighed, surprised, and said, "Uncle beggar, you ...... How did you pick up the evil box?" couldn't help but look at the window where the beggar uncle jumped in, which was on the side of the cliff, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the beggar uncle was hiding under the cliff outside the window of the Junction Hall before, so as soon as the evil box was thrown out, he caught it? I secretly admired it in my heart.
Acacia Shitai felt a pain in her heart, and said, "Why does Master Qiao Shi pick it up again?
The beggar turned a deaf ear, paced around the house, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I am glad to see you again today." I never imagined that you would escape into the empty door for more than ten years. Alas, what is the point of my painstaking pursuit all these years? What is the value of those grievances and grievances? It is all empty, empty, empty. Hahaha! Why do I have to swear to each other like this?"
This beggar is none other than Shen Zhenfeng's senior brother Qiao Dian. Qiao Dian and Shen Zhenfeng both served as first-class guards in the palace more than ten years ago. Shen Zhenfeng was in charge of the West Palace guards, and Qiao Dian was in charge of the East Palace guards. At that time, Qiao Shen and Shen were both well-known figures in the palace. Later, the two fell in love with the lovesick teacher at the same time, and the brothers and sisters were gradually incompatible because of love, resentment, and resentment. Later, there were accidents in the palace, and Shen Zhenfeng and his wife escaped. Qiao Dian didn't know the inside story for a while, and he was even more jealous, how could he bear this sulking when he was young and vigorous, so he disappeared mysteriously in the palace. Since then, there has been one more beggar on the rivers and lakes, and there is one less famous master in Ouchi.
Qiao Dian has been working hard for more than ten years, miserable wind and rain, sleeping in the open air, looking for and seeking, going through hardships, looking for Shen and Li, but she didn't expect to find the queen mother of lovesickness, but she was unexpected, she has been hiding in the empty door, and in an instant, she only feels that the world is translocated, everything changes color, a bitter love, full of tenderness, twenty years of bitterness, all turned into flowing water. Originally, after Qiao Dian witnessed the tragic destruction of the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau, his old hatred for Shen Zhenfeng had gradually faded, and at this time, he saw that the former Italian person was already dressed in a nun costume and a vegetarian Buddha, and finally all thoughts were lost, and his deep hatred for Shen Zhenfeng disappeared completely.
Acacia Master understood the hidden meaning of Qiao Dian's words, and obviously forgave Shen Zhenfeng, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Master Qiao." ”
Qiao Dian said: "What is a 'donor'? I am not a donor. I will not give charity to any Buddha god. ”
Acacia Shitai said: "Xue'er, this senior is your uncle, surnamed Qiao, and he is a famous master of the Great Monument Gate on the rivers and lakes." Your father is his younger brother. ”
Shen Bingxue only then realized that this beggar uncle was actually his uncle, and it was the first time he heard the big stele gate or something, and he thought: "Mom said that the big stele gate is very famous, but I have never heard of it, Fang Gongzi said that I was lonely and unheard, and I was really not wrong." Suddenly, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, afraid to show his mother and Uncle Qiao.
Acacia Shitai and Qiao Dian both sat down, and Acacia Shitai said: "Brother Qiao, you have been traveling around the rivers and lakes all these years and have suffered. ”
Qiao Dian said: "Where, where." We are each other, each other!hahaha!" said and laughed loudly, and more than ten years of depression were swept away in the laughter, only to feel that the mind was suddenly open-minded and the mood was extremely comfortable.
Acacia Shitai said: "In the past few months, thank you for taking care of Xue'er. At this time, of course, she understood that the person who had secretly protected Shen Bingxue for months must be Qiao Dian.
Qiao Dian laughed and said, "No, it should be that I thank her for her cotton clothes and shoes." For more than ten years, no one has ever cared about me except Xiaoxue. This gift of clothes, I Qiao Dian will never forget it for the rest of my life. As he spoke, he smiled and squinted at Shen Bingxue. Shen Bingxue was both ashamed and happy in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head, her face was dizzy, and in the twilight, under the candlelight, she looked even more beautiful.
