Tao Jiusi got the message from Huayuntai, and set off early as Nanny Gui described.

Walking from the main road to the alley, and wandering through the alley for a while, Tao Jiusi finally found an inconspicuous doorway in a dead end, just like Nanny Gui described.Taking a closer look, Gui Zhai was written crookedly on it.

Nanny Gui has never been married and has no children. This yard was bought for the elderly when it was abandoned earlier, but it turned out to be a lot of accidents. Negative snow grows up.

The location of the house is remote, and there are few people around. Nanny Gui tried to rent it out for a long time, but still no one cared about it, so the house was vacant. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

Tao Jiusi took out the key and unlocked the door by moonlight.This lock was newly replaced by Grandma Gui, and it was still shining brightly, as if it was two centuries old from the decayed door.

Open the door and look again, the yard is not big, there is not much open space, weeds are overgrown, wild vines are intertwined, and the house is also old and precarious. It is estimated that its greatest contribution is to shelter from wind and rain.

But even though it was dilapidated, Nanny Gui kept the house clean and tidy inside and out, so that there wasn't even a place to stay.

Tao Jiusi lit a candle, spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to sit idle for a while.He also thought of Wei Lingxue walking in the middle of the night, probably hungry with his chest stuck to his back.So he planned to gather materials locally and prepare some food for Wei Lingxue.

Going around the kitchen, Tao Jiusi was overjoyed to see that Nanny Gui had prepared some commonly used condiments, and went to the weeds, rummaged for a while, picked up two large handfuls of wild vegetables, and returned to the kitchen satisfied. Then make a fire and stir-fry.

By the time Wei Lingxue arrived, there was already a curl of smoke and a burst of aroma.

Wei Lingxue's body is still weak, and he finally walked here, but his mood is surging.Suppressing the waves in her heart, Wei Lingxue asked Hua Yuntai who was following her: "How do I look energetic?"

Hua Yuntai nodded with a complicated expression, and Wei Lingxue couldn't wait to push the door open.

Tao Jiusi was coming out of the kitchen with two dishes of dishes, and seeing Wei Chengxue with all his hands and feet, everything was normal, the nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed, and the heart and liver that he was carrying also landed safely, as if he had never been as happy and relaxed as he is now .

When he was in a good mood, Tao Jiusi's tone became more gentle: "Your Highness, it's just in time for you to come. I have fried two dishes. Come and eat."

Wei Lingxue took a closer look and saw that there were two plates of steaming vegetarian dishes. The heat seemed to make his eyes moist.

Tao Jiusi touched him with his arm: "Don't stand around stupidly, eat with chopsticks."

Wei Lingxue took the plate, smelled the aroma of the vegetables, raised her head and smiled back: "Thank you, sir."

Standing at the side, Hua Yuntai looked at it, and suddenly felt that it was just two dishes of the most ordinary and unpretentious dishes in the world, but the little master's armor was softened, and it became a kind of gentle clothes, quietly worn on the body.

Wei Lingxue ate the food and asked curiously, "Sir, what are these?"

Tao Jiusi pointed to a plate: "This is horse tooth pan," and pointed to another plate: "This is shepherd's purse."

Although Wei Lingxue couldn't keep up with eating and drinking, he didn't want to eat wild vegetables. He was very curious about these two strange names: "Where did you find these, sir?"

Tao Jiusi: "They're all wild vegetables. I pluck them in this yard."

Wei Lingxue: "You still know these?"

Tao Jiusi's gaze was far-reaching: "Your Highness may not know that I am the adopted son of the Su family. I used to grow up in a temple. The temple where I live is very poor, and it is common to not have enough food. My uncle is afraid that I will be hungry, so he often takes me up the mountain. Picking wild vegetables and fruits. So I probably know all the wild vegetables and fruits that can be eaten."

Wei Lingxue entrusted Wei Nianqing to investigate Tao Jiusi's details. He knew that Tao Jiusi was adopted by the Su family when he was 12 years old.He once thought that the young master of the Su Mansion, not to mention the rich clothes and fine food, but also the food and clothing, should have suffered no hardships, but he never thought that Tao Jiusi would have so many days without enough to eat, no wonder he is so simple and frugal now .

Wei Chengxue wanted to hear Tao Jiusi talk more about the past, so he deliberately asked, "Why were you born in a temple?"

Tao Jiusi: "I was abandoned by my biological mother when I was born, and the old monk picked me up."

Wei Lingxue didn't know that Tao Jiusi had such an experience, and regretted asking about it, but she still couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is the old monk?"

Tao Jiu thought about the old monk, smiled slightly, and talked about a story about the old monk.

The old monk is not really called the old monk, but has a mysterious and unique dharma name called Qian Jiangyue.Tao Jiusi once asked, why do other monks have only two characters in their dharma names, but you have come up with an ingenious name called Qian Jiangyue.

The uncle also said: "Yes, you named me Ru Meng, why did you call me Qian Jiangyue?"

The old monk laughed and explained, "I can call myself whatever I want. What is long or short?"

After hearing this, the uncle nodded in admiration: "Brother, you have a good Zen skill," and then said unwillingly: "Brother, with such a cultivation level, why doesn't anyone come to our place to pay respects."

In fact, the old monk’s temple is poor, mainly due to the fact that the location is too far away and the roads are difficult to walk. In contrast, everyone prefers to go to the Quanming Temple outside the county, where there is a direct official road, not to mention how convenient it is.

So no matter how special the old monk’s Dharma name is, it’s useless to talk about Zen. When people mentioned this, they only said that there was a mountain in the suburbs of Anning County, and there was a dilapidated and small temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple. With a baby boy I don't know where to pick it up.

As for the name of the old monk and the name of the temple, no one cares about it.

When Tao Jiusi said this, he found that Wei Lingxue was staring at him straightly, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes, and he couldn't tell what it was.Stretching out his hand and waving it twice in front of Wei Lingxue, he said, "Are you fascinated by listening to these old stories?"

Wei Lingxue was taken aback, and shook his head lightly: "I was thinking about what kind of person the old monk is, and what kind of place Anning County is."

Tao Jiusi lowered his eyes: "The old monk passed away a long time ago, and now the temple is also burned down."

Seeing him sad, Wei Lingxue felt as uncomfortable as someone poked with a small needle densely. She wanted to cup Tao Jiusi's face and comfort him, but after hesitating again and again, she chose to squeeze her chopsticks tightly.

Tao Jiusi was silent for a while, raised his head to meet Shang Wei's gaze, pretended to be relaxed and said: "By the way, I will go back to Anning January after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Your Highness, please be careful and learn the new by reviewing the past. Wait for me to come back and check my homework."

Wei Lingxue looked away unnaturally, and said softly: "Okay, I'll let Mr. Hua follow you, his skills are almost unrivaled in Weiguo."

Tao Jiusi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm going back to my hometown, not to Longtan and Tiger's Cave, so I don't need to bother Mr. Hua. Besides, He Yunxi will go back with me."

Wei Lingxue frowned: "He Yunxi, who is it?"

"It's a friend I grew up with. He is also in the capital now. He will go back to Anning with me." Thinking of He Xiyun, a sincere friend, he couldn't help smiling.

Tao Jiusi: "Speaking of it, it was a coincidence that I met He Xiyun. My uncle once went to Quanming Temple to place orders under a pseudonym, and when he came back, he described it as unattainable like a royal temple. The old monk refused to accept it and took me to Quanming Temple. I did not expect to catch up with the Quanming Temple Dharma Assembly, and the old monk was not willing to be an audience. Halfway through the Dharma Assembly, he got up to debate with others. I forgot all about it. I was so hungry that I saw a child next to me stealing an egg. I had never seen meat food at that time, and it smelled really delicious... Then guess what? Not only did I hold back my craving, but I also The child reported it to the Buddhist monk in the temple."

Tao Jiusi smiled faintly: "This child is He Yunxi."

After Wei Lingxue heard the story, she inexplicably put on a straight face, and said coldly, "Sir, let's go to class."

Tao Jiusi was still immersed in the memory, and was suddenly interrupted by Wei Chengxue's cold words. He was very surprised, and thought to himself that the child's face changed so quickly, but he still opened the book as he said.

Tao Jiusi sometimes talked eloquently and sometimes persuasively, and before he knew it, he was already in the sky.

Tao Jiusi yawned, looked at Wei Chengxue with a spirited face, thought twice, and asked again: "Your Highness, yesterday..."

Wei Lingxue was reading a book with his head down. Hearing Tao Jiusi's question, the blood in his whole body stagnated immediately, and his face paled visible to the naked eye.

Wei Lingxue clutched the book hard, as if clutching an enemy he had finally captured, and said ruthlessly, "Sir, don't worry, I'll make him return it double sooner or later."

Tao Jiusi didn't dare to think about the shocking inside story behind this sentence, and he didn't know how to comfort the injured boy in front of him.But seeing Wei Lingxue's viciousness gradually accumulating, he always felt that he should say something.For example, the sky is going to send you a big task, which makes you difficult; for example, bear with the calm for a while, and wait for a while for your sky to be high and the sea to be broad.But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Wei Nexue had suffered too much, and he was too different from Wei Rongyu.

Tao Jiusi decided to grab Wei Chengxue's bloodless hands, and said with difficulty but firmly: "Your Highness, no matter what happens to you, you can tell me, Jiusi will do everything possible to help His Highness."

Wei Lingxue's hands were cold and thin. Tao Jiusi seemed to feel the pain and torture the owner of these hands was going through.He clenched his hands tightly, wanting to share some of the other's pain.

The moment Wei Nexue was caught by the hand, he suddenly realized that his world had cracked at some point, and there was a gust of spring breeze, and a ray of warm sun was passing through the gap, traveling around the whole body, and he couldn't help but let go of the hand holding the book strength.After a long time, he said in a shy voice, "Sir, it's getting late, I'll take you back."

Seeing his calm expression, Tao Jiusi felt relieved, pretending to be serious and said, "I'm going to have a back pain tomorrow night, don't forget to study hard, don't just rely on your good memory to cram."

Wei Chengxue laughed and said, "Sir, when did I hold Buddha's feet temporarily?"

Tao Jiusi: "..."
