Chapter 45 Arriving at the county seat
At the entrance of the vegetable market, people come and go, and the noise is endless.
"Why haven't you come yet......"
A teenager with a large travel bag on his back muttered in his voice, looking around in a somewhat anxious tone.
I looked at my watch, and it showed 16:37. Song Shuren sighed.
The clamor around was very noisy, because he hadn't seen his great-grandfather for several years, and Song Shuren's memory stayed on the last time he saw him.
I only remember that the sun was just right that day, and my great-grandfather was on a chair, wearing a white short coat, black trousers, hunched back, and a thin figure, smiling and watching them slowly leave, as if after that, he still said something, but time passed quickly, and he couldn't remember it.
This is Song Shuren's memory, and until later, Song Shuren never saw him again.
Now that he thought of being able to see his great-grandfather, whom he hadn't seen for many years, his heart was full of apprehension and joy.
"I don't know if you remember me......"
As soon as the words fell, he immediately answered his question.
"Probably not...... After all, he's so old......"
He was a little apprehensive, but on the surface he still looked indifferent.
"Why haven't you come yet......"
Song Shuren blew upward, and the few strands of hair on his forehead were blown a little flowing.
At this moment, the mobile phone rings.
Song Shuren was startled, took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, and found that the words "great-grandfather" were displayed on it.
It's coming!
He didn't know why he had mixed feelings, and his chest was a little sour.
"Hey ......"
"Shuren. On the other end of the phone, the old man's voice came out.
"Great-grandfather. ”
Song Shuren was calm.
"Where are you at the market now?"
He looked around and saw that there were no conspicuous buildings, and at a glance, he saw a small shop selling roast duck behind him.
"I'm selling roast duck. ”
He spoke briskly, a little impatiently.
......
*
The streets were bustling, everyone was dressed thickly, and the crowds seemed to be able to transfer heat to others.
Two monks, one large and one small, mixed in the crowd, although the monk's robes on their bodies were quite conspicuous, but except for the passers-by who would hurriedly glance at them, they could not stir up much waves.
"Senior brother. One of the little monks looked at a young monk beside him with a sturdy figure and a serious face with a pair of extremely bright eyes.
"I want to eat sugar gourd......"
With a gesture of his hand, he pointed to an elderly man not far away holding a pole full of sugar gourds.
"I've only eaten this thing once......
The little monk licked his lips with longing in his eyes.
The young monk was silent for a moment, silently counted the coins and paper money on his body, hesitated for a while, and finally felt a little unbearable when he saw the appearance of his little junior brother.
"You can only eat it once. ”
He said stiffly.
It's just that the little monk doesn't care about his tone, with this time, are you afraid that there will be no next time? Therefore, he snorted very happily, took 5 yuan from his senior brother, and trotted directly to the stall where he bought sugar gourds.
"Grandpa, bring me a bunch of ...... Senior brother!"
The little monk turned around and called out to the young monk.
"Will you eat?"
"No need. The young monk's tone was a little stiff.
"Oh well. The little monk pursed his lips, "Grandpa will give me a string, just this red one!"
"Give, 5 pieces. The old man's thin hand handed over a string of sugar gourds.
"That's just right. The little monk muttered and handed over the money.
......
The two walked all the way, looking around all the way, and at this time, a charming fragrance came slowly.
This fragrance seems to be embodied on the street, the aroma is overflowing, it seems to be able to hook the soul, although I have not eaten meat, but this obvious smell of meat, the little monk still smells it.
This wisp of aroma is mouth-watering.
The little monk was eating the sugar gourd, and his saliva was about to come down. I couldn't wait to lose the sugar gourd and immediately rushed to the small shop, but the senior brother on the side looked at him with fierce eyes, so he had to stop thinking about it.
A little unhappy to take a bite of the sugar gourd, the original sweet taste in the mouth is like chewing wax at the moment, the little monk's heart rushed to the small shop that exuded the smell of meat!
The little monk here looked at the food shop that was getting farther and farther away from him, but the young monk on the other side looked preoccupied.
He is older than a young monk and has a steady personality, and this time he went down the mountain, the master naturally gave him a heavy responsibility.
He is different from Yijing's ignorance, although he rarely goes down the mountain, but he also knows the disturbance of this red dust. In fact, this time the master said that it was for them to experience this red dust, and Yuanguang knew that this was just an excuse to cover up, and when they went down the mountain, the master and uncle personally told him that this time they went down the mountain because something happened in the underworld.
Although I don't know what caused them to go down the mountain, the fact that they were sent down is enough to tell that something big has happened.
Now the sects are uneven, many people avoid the world and no longer care about the world, so there are fewer and fewer practitioners, just like Baiyun Temple, there are not many monks in Baiyun Temple, there are only a few more than ten people in the whole temple, and there are only a few who can come in handy.
Glancing at the innocent little junior brother next to him, Yuan Guang sighed secretly in his heart, and was a little puzzled, after all, he knew that although the little junior brother had a spirituality for Buddhism since he was a child, he would not be able to do anything else, and it would be too early for him to go down the mountain to experience this time.
Sighing, Yuanguang didn't think about these troubles, his eyes glanced at it, and he just saw the little monk looking around in front of him, quite interested.
Yuanguang can also understand, after all, this road is dusty, every day is either in a hurry or in a hurry, and now that he has arrived at the destination, it is natural that the whole person is relaxed. He stared at the little monk with all his eyes, afraid that when he was interested, he wouldn't know where to run all of a sudden.
The two walked like this, and a pair of grandparents and grandchildren came to them.
The two grandparents and grandchildren, the older one looks thin, but this spirit is very full, and the other is a teenager, looking vigorous. The two of them talked and laughed happily, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Originally, Yuanguang didn't care, but when the two sides passed by, he was slightly stunned, because he felt an uncomfortable aura from the old man.
Moving his fingers uncomfortably, Yuan Guang quietly turned his head to look at the old man behind him, but this made his uncomfortable breath flash, making him a little uncertain. When he looked again, he didn't notice anything unusual about the old man.
Am I feeling wrong?
Yuan Guang felt a little strange in his heart, but his fingers suddenly became heavy and were pulled.
"Senior brother?"
He lowered his head and saw a look at him with a curious face.
"Senior brother, what are you thinking?"
"Nope. Yuan Guang's voice was a little stiff, "It's going to be dark soon, and we're going to find a hotel to stay in for a few nights." ”
He looked at the little monk who couldn't reach his chest, and said with a serious tone, "Remember to follow me." ”
"Got it...... the little monk replied obediently, but kicked the stone under his feet far away, just kicking a person's leg, causing the person to cry out "oops".
"Hmm!"
The little monk did something humble, and hurriedly opened his eyes, his eyes dripping and looking at the rock sugar gourd in his hand, as if this thing was delicious.
Yuan Guang didn't notice the small movements of his junior disciples, and was very carefully observing the surroundings to see if there was any place to stay for them for a few nights.
The place they came to was a small county town, because they heard from Master and Uncle that this was the former transit station of the water market, so they stayed here for a while to see if there were any clues.
Speaking of which...... What is going on in this world......
The sky was already gray, and looking at the lights around him, Yuan Guang sighed softly.
