Lin Jianlan raised his eyes again, and saw that Dazhi was already empty, his lips were slightly closed and he muttered scriptures, no longer looking at himself, knowing that he would not reveal a word again.

He turned back silently, knowing that Dazhi didn't want him to blame himself for his biological father's past, but he still couldn't stop hating him and refused to make it clear, and suddenly heard the old voice behind him say: "The sword is a gentleman's weapon, and the donor has taken the sword as his name, refusing the villain's trip, and don't forget the gentleman's righteousness." ”

Lin Jianlan paused at the door slightly when he heard these words, and then opened the door, and saw that it was sunset outside the house, only to feel that the air around him was extremely hot, and he was entangled until he couldn't breathe.

In the twilight, the drums of the Temple of Mercy and Grace sounded, Lin Jianlan only felt that he had been hit hard in his chest and abdomen, and the dull pain was like a stinging pain like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart.

In the haze, Lin Jianlan felt as if he was burning in the fire, vaguely saw Dazhi also rolling in the fire, his eyes were full of hatred, two thin hands rushed towards him with fire, and grabbed his neck, he was simply suffocated and sultry, and suddenly felt that he hit the wall for some reason, a hot burst of pain, looking down, but it was Lei Kan who opened his mouth wide and was shouting, he couldn't hear the sound, he just wanted to dodge backwards, but his body was already a sea of fire. In his drowsiness, he felt a cold welling up from his forehead, which freed him from this purgatory, and his mouth was like a fountain of ice, with a little sweetness, and the spring water flowed to his neck, and everywhere he went, it seemed that the flames were extinguished.

He opened his eyes suddenly, but he couldn't see anything, a cold and soft hand stroked his forehead, and he felt that a cold thing was against his lips, but it was a spoon filled with water, because Lin Jianlan's lips were tightly closed, only dripping into his mouth, and most of them flowed into the collar along the corners of his mouth.

Lin Jianlan was silent for a moment, moved slightly, and said in a low voice, "Ah Xiu?"

The man beside him moved uneasily, and said with joy in his voice: "Young Master Lin, you didn't recognize the wrong person this time." Then he sobbed again.

Lin Jianlan knew that Wan Xiu was afraid that he was very anxious in his heart, sighed, and said: "Ah Xiu, don't you have to cry, haven't I woken up yet?" It's all I made you worried, I originally took you out to see a doctor, but now I have to take care of you a second time." ”

Wan Xiu sniffed and said, "An old abbot sent you back, the rules in their temple are very strict, and I can't go out to investigate, I don't know what happened, so I can only do this." ”

Lin Jianlan struggled to stand up, feeling that he had no strength, remembering what Dazhi had said before, there was a pain in his heart, and he said, "Is it the abbot of Tanzong?"

Wan Xiu said: "That's what others call him, he is very good, seeing me like this, he also took my pulse and told me to rest." ”

Walking to the door, Lin Jianlan gently opened the curtain, saw that the sky outside was already cloudy, turned around and lit the oil lamp, saw Wan Xiu's face haggard, and the eyes were a little black, and said apologetically: "Did you take care of me all night? You are weak, how can you stand staying up all night?"

Wan Xiu was stunned for a moment, gently wiped his fingers around the edge of the bowl, and said with a smile: "I'm not in the way." ”

Lin Jianlan turned around and sat down, he really couldn't speak, but he felt depressed in his heart, and he wanted to spit out this encounter, and after thinking for a long time, Fang said: "Ah Xiu, you know that Uncle Qing is my father-in-law, right?"

Wan Xiu nodded, and listened to him again: "I have never mentioned my biological parents to you, just because I have never met my father, he was far away from his hometown before I was born, and my mother also left me and my grandmother in order to find him, and they have not heard from me for more than ten years, and their life and death are uncertain." Now I hear my father's name in the mouth of an old monk in this monastery. ”

Wan Xiu was very surprised, her eyes widened and said, "No wonder your expression was so strange at that time, it's really a coincidence." Seeing that Lin Jianlan's expression was extremely painful, he immediately closed his mouth and said no more.

Lin Jianlan said: "However, after talking to the old monk, it turns out that my father is ...... He's not what I imagined, Ah Xiu, if the relative you've been looking for is actually a hateful person, what are you going to do?"

Wan Xiu was stunned and said, "What did your father do?"

Lin Jianlan shook his head and said, "Elder Dazhi refuses to say it, but judging from his tone, I also know that my father did something extremely unfavorable to him back then, and it also involved many other people. If it were you, would you look for it again?"

Wan Xiu was silent for a while and said: "Lin Gongzi, I am not you, I have been cared for and loved by my parents since I was a child, I have never been able to understand your feelings, but I know that no parent in the world can ruthlessly abandon his child, he must have a last resort in what he does, why don't you ask clearly?"

Lin Jianlan hesitated for a moment, and Fang smiled bitterly: "Ah Xiu, I don't dare to ask, maybe my father really did something unforgivable, if this is the case, then what should I do? ”

Wan Xiu said: "I don't understand, this is fine, if you don't know, you will have a lot less trouble." But what about your mother? Are you looking for her anymore?"

Lin Jianlan said: "My mother...... Elder Dazhi said that he didn't know that my father still had a wife, and he didn't know if she had found my father. She only nursed me until I was weaned, and then left the house to find my father, and I used to complain when I was a child that she was so cruel to me and my grandmother, and now that I am older, I don't know whether I should admire her for being so affectionate to my father. Well, why are you crying?"

Wan Xiu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Lin Gongzi, I saved you that day, just because my father and mother did evil things to you, but you didn't care, knowing what plans my mother had secretly, you helped me in every possible way and took me out for treatment." You have such a good heart, naturally you can't accept what the elder said. If today passes, it is better to forget what you have said, but can you forget it? It is better to find your parents and ask you about the past than to be tormented every day, and then it is not too late to talk about it. You also said to me, 'There are no parents in the world,' and they gave you a life, and besides, ......"

Speaking of this, Wan Xiu suddenly stopped, bit his lip, and continued: "Besides, if he is no longer in this world, don't you want to inquire any further?"

Lin Jianlan was stunned, he listened to what Dazhi said, only when his father was afraid that he had already relied on some unscrupulous means to enjoy fame and wealth, but he never thought that his father might no longer be alive, and said secretly in his heart: "Yes, others are still hating him and have nothing to say, I have no qualifications to hate him, what do I say to forgive?" ”

Thinking of this, Lin Jianlan's heart was already very sour, and he secretly screamed "That's it", he had already made a decision, raised his head and said: "Ah Xiu, I want to ask the elder again, he didn't tell me about the past for my sake, but I am a son of man, but I can't be so confused." If I ask for more, he may tell me that I don't know, you should wait here for a while. Then he turned and went out.

The main hall is not far from here, walking on the road, although he fell asleep all night, Lin Jianlan still feels very tired, and he is still very hungry in his belly, thinking that Wanxiu has been waiting all night, he feels guilty, and he walked out of the courtyard, and heard the sound of morning classes in the side hall, there was no one around, only the sound of rustling cleaning came from the door, Lin Jianlan stepped out of the door, looked fixedly, the person who cleaned was Wu Chang, and hurriedly asked: "Little Master, there is an urgent matter below, may I ask where Elder Dazhi is now?"

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment and said, "Donor, they have already set off yesterday. ”

Lin Jianlan was shocked: "Yesterday, yesterday afternoon, he left?" said in his heart: "Could it be that Elder Dazhi really didn't want to reveal the slightest thing about the events of that day, so that he was in a hurry to set off?"

Wu Chang smiled and said, "No, they left early yesterday morning." ”

Lin Jianlan said "ah", stood at the door for a long time, it turned out that he had fainted, but a day and two nights had passed, and he realized that the boss with his mouth open, motionless, touched him and said: "The donor is it good? After you fainted the day before yesterday, you had a fever again, and you fell asleep all the time, thanks to your sister-in-law for taking care of you." ”

Lin Jianlan wondered, "My sister?"

Wu Chang said: "The female donor said that it was your sister-in-law, and asked me to put the food on the windowsill outside the house, and she ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Jianlan running away, and instantly turned the corner door of the west courtyard and disappeared.

After calming down a little at the door, Lin Jianlan gently pushed the door open, and saw that Ah Xiu was already asleep on the edge of the table, a lock of broken hair was a little sweaty, hanging down from her forehead, and on her lap was the scroll that she never left her hand, which was slowly slipping down.

Lin Jianlan hurriedly stepped forward quietly, took the book in his hand, but felt familiar, there was no name on the book, opened it and looked at it again, he was stunned, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, this book he had repeatedly searched for in the books returned by Wanxiu, but he had not found it, he had given up, but at this time he saw each other again, after taking away the alienated dry pear blossom, he looked intently, but there was a poem written on the page:

Send the knights

Baiyi River has passed, watching the battle on the shore.

The film body is shocked, and Xiuyun is stabbed obliquely.

Fighting wine is fortunate to invite each other, talking and laughing about winning and losing.

Always cherish the chivalrous ambition, and now watch the chivalrous travel.

Don't ask about the reunion, put the long pavilion of regrets.

The handwriting is the same as the small order on the inside of the book cover, it is the book of poems that Lin Jianlan's father gave to his wife, and it turned out to be in Wan Xiu's hands. Seeing that she usually doesn't let go of the scroll, it is obvious that she loves it very much, Lin Jianlan gently put the book on the table, but saw Wan Xiu move, slowly raised her head, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and after reading the poetry book on the table, she suddenly became embarrassed, and said: "Lin Gongzi, I, I didn't mean not to return your book, just read it for a few days." ”

Lin Jianlan gently rubbed the skin of the poetry book and said, "This is something that my father gave to my mother. ”

Wan Xiu said nervously: "I didn't know that this was a relic of your parents, I don't know if there was any damage." ”

Lin Jianlan shook his head lightly and said, "Fortunately, you keep it for me, this collection of poems is in my hands, and I have to read it for a while every night, hoping to see my father's shadow from it." After a pause, he added: "Uncle Qing has read a lot of books that my father left in Liaodong, and told me that he is a man full of talent. At the time of composing this collection of poems, although he lived in the countryside, it was also clear that his ambitions were very ambitious. ”

Wan Xiu snorted: "He...... I also have a deep affection for your mother, and there are many poems written to her. Then he hung his head.

Lin Jianlan didn't notice that her expression was slightly shy, and he just stared blankly at the poetry collection and said: "Yes, Elder Dazhi said that he deliberately concealed that he had a family, so there were people who fell in love with him, but it seems that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless." ”

Wan Xiu was moved by this last sentence, and said secretly: "Lin Gongzi's father is so affectionate to her mother, it is really enviable, but the woman who is in love with his father also makes people feel sorry for her, the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and she is not the only ......one in this world" was thinking about it, and listened to Lin Jianlan said: "Ah Xiu, since you are awake, your illness can't be delayed here for too long, we should also go on the road, if you are tired, can you rest in the car?"

Wan Xiu was stunned and said, "Shall you leave now?" Can Lin Gongzi ask that Great Wisdom Elder about it just now?"

Lin Jianlan smiled and reproached: "They are already gone, you are really, after two nights, how can you get it after staying up like this?" After saying that, he packed up the items in the house and put them in the car, Fang asked Wan Xiu to cover his head and face, gently carried him to the car, and was about to put down the curtain of the car, when his sleeve was held by Wan Xiu and said: "Lin Gongzi, if you send me to the doctor, you won't be able to go to the elder, and if you lose where they are, how can you go to your father again?"

Lin Jianlan said: "What's the matter? I'll ask the monks in the temple to find out where they are going, and when you are cured, it's not too late to go." After that, he took out something from his arms and said, "This is still Ah Xiu's custody for me, and the long-distance journey will relieve your boredom." ”

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, Lin Jianlan shouted a few times outside, the carriage started slowly, and after a while, it stopped again, and he asked: "Little Master, do you know which temple Elder Dazhi they are going to send Elder Dazhi to settle down?"

The monk said, "This ...... The little monk didn't know that before leaving, the abbot instructed everyone not to mention even the fact that Elder Dazhi had practiced here for a year. ”

Listening to the voice of the novice who delivered the meal yesterday, Wan Xiu felt very guilty when he heard it, hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and said loudly: "Lin Gongzi, you ask this little master which direction he is going, let's chase after it quickly, maybe we can catch up." ”
