Chapter 92: Hollow (Addition)
Huang Zhen was silent, sitting there with his head down, Hu Dali and Du Lao couldn't open their mouths to persuade them, so they could only sit there, and there was silence in the backyard.
There was a light smoke wafting from the smoke in the kitchen, and the upright little monk really started boiling water and waited to make tea for a few people.
Huang Qi looked at Huang Zhen with a low brow, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the temple, Huang Qi raised his head, and deduced from this person's pace that it should be the old monk in the temple who had returned.
After a while, the footsteps gradually became clearer, Du Lao and Hu Dali, who had martial arts, were more intelligent, and they finally heard it, Hu Dali said to Huang Qi: "Childe, someone is coming outside, it should be that the master of the temple is back." ”
Huang Qi nodded and stood up, ready to go out to greet the old monk.
The old monk was carrying a medicine basket on his back, and he saw a black carriage parked at the entrance of his temple from a distance, and he was wondering why there were still people coming to the temple to offer incense during this time.
When he got closer, the old monk finally saw the carriage clearly, and at a glance, he felt that there was a low-key extravagance hidden.
He understood, this was probably a noble person passing by here, and he wanted to come to the temple for a few nights because of the lack of access to the road.
The old monk looked at the carriage on the side of the road, and walked towards the temple, and before he got close to the temple gate, a young noble son took the lead and walked out, and happily said: "Huang Qi has seen the master. He was followed by an old man and a strong man, and a little child, also richly dressed but bareheaded.
The old man and the strong man also followed the noble son to give a salute, only the child looked reluctant, but he also dragged on and gave a salute, but he didn't expect it to be more standard than the old man and the strong man.
The old monk hurriedly folded his hands and saluted back: "Old man is hollow, I have seen the prince and the benefactors. ”
Huang Qi was slightly stunned, because he thought of an old man.
used to be the first on the list, the "evil monk" empty letter.
However, the old monk in front of him is an ordinary person, and he should have nothing to do with empty letters.
"Donors, please. The Hollow Master took the medicine basket behind his back and held it in his hand, stretched out a hand to invite everyone, and then walked in front.
Huang Qi followed with the three of them.
The Master of the Hollow sent the medicine basket to the backyard and quickly returned to the main hall.
"The small temple is simple, and there is much inconvenience in the hospitality, so please forgive me. Seeing that everyone was standing in the main hall, and there was no place to sit, the hollow master folded his hands and said apologetically.
Huang Qiwen said: "The master is serious, but I came here today because the road ahead was blocked by the government and was not passable, so I want to spend the night in the temple, I am afraid that I will disturb the master for a few days." ”
The Hollow Master smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, the old man advises you, it's best to leave quickly, don't stay here, so as not to trouble your body." ”
Huang Qi's expression moved, this hollow master seemed to know something.
He asked tentatively, "Please also explain to the master, what is the specific trouble? Hasn't the government already controlled the plague blockade, how can there be trouble?"
The hollow master wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said helplessly: "It is said that this plague is extremely powerful, maybe it can be spread with the wind, how can the body of the son's daughter sit here." ”
As soon as Hollow said this, Hu Dali and Du Lao also moved a little, and they all looked at Huang Qi and wanted him to leave here. No matter how long it takes to return, it's better than staying here and making a dangerous mess.
Huang Qi knew that the Master of Hollow must know some inside story, he shook his head and said: "The journey is far away, the carriage and horses are tired, I hope that the master will take me in and stay for one night, and as for whether I leave or not, I will talk about it later." ”
Seeing Huang Qi's resolute attitude, the Hollow Master could only give up, and he said: "Since the prince insists on doing so, it is inconvenient for the old man to say more. It's just that the wing room in the temple is simple, and I hope that the son will not dislike it. ”
After finishing speaking, the Hollow Master also specially added: "The night wind here is quite strong, and there will be some strange noises when passing by, please don't pay attention to it when you hear it at night." ”
Strange noises at night?
Huang Qi already had some speculations in his heart.
At this time, the little monk finally walked in from behind with a wooden plate, on which were placed several teacups, and the top of the teacups was steaming.
"Donors, please use tea. The little monk put down the wooden plate and brought the hot tea to everyone.
Master Hollow smiled and said, "I know that you little fool is boiling water and making tea again, leaving the guests in the temple like this, and I don't know how to take out a chair for the distinguished guests to sit down." ”
The little monk grabbed Guangguang's head innocently, and hurriedly turned around to find a stool, but was grabbed by the sleeve of the hollow master.
The Hollow Master said to Huang Qi: "Let Gongzi see and smile, this is Lao Wei's little apprentice, and his law name is Mingxin." This child grew up with me in the mountains since he was a child, and his temperament is dull and unreasonable. In the past, the old man told him that people should remember to boil water to make tea, and whenever he came to a guest in the future, he only knew to run to boil water and make tea. ”
Huang Qi smiled: "The master said that he was smiling, I only saw a clear Buddha with a dust-free heart, but I didn't see the dull little monk in the master's mouth. ”
Seeing Huang Qi praising his little apprentice like this, although he knew that Huang Qi was saying flattering words, he was also extremely happy.
"Come on, come on, Mingxin, you go and clean up the idle wing room in the back for your distinguished guests. The Hollow Master said to the little monk Mingxin.
Huang Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Mingxin, and said to the hollow master: "The master only needs to ask the little master to take us to the wing, and we can clean it up ourselves." ”
The hollow master said: "It's okay, Mingxin, this kid is clumsy, let him clean up by himself I don't know when it will be, please come in." ”
Hu Dali walked out of the temple, pulled the carriage through the side door into the backyard and placed it, and then took all kinds of items needed from the cart.
Huang Zhen and Du Lao followed Mingxin to the wing room and helped clean up the wing, while Huang Qi sat in the backyard chatting with the hollow master.
"Good tea. Huang Qi finished taking a sip and put down the teacup in his hand.
The hollow master smiled: "Childe said that he was joking, but it is just a small wild tea from the back mountain, how can he bear the word good tea in the mouth of Childe." ”
Huang Qi shook his head and said: "The carefully cared for tea is always less special than the tea that survives tenaciously in the wild, of course, this is just my family's words, and the master doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
After thinking about it, the hollow master couldn't help but praise: "Childe is high, the world always distinguishes the price of tea from the variety, and it is the first time for Lao Gao to hear such a novel statement from Childe." ”
