The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On the tenth day of October in the 25th year of Hongwu, Cui Miao went to the abbot aggressively after breakfast, asking for an explanation for what happened last night.

Cui Miao looked displeased at Liao Chen who was blocking him, and said, "Get out of the way, the abbot must explain to the master what happened yesterday!"

Liao Chen insisted and said: "The abbot is doing morning class, it is not convenient to receive guests, please come back in half an hour."

Cui Miao questioned and said: "You push and block like this, don't you have anything to do with that thief? Could it be that you want to cover him?"

"Squeak", the door behind Liaochen was pushed open, and the abbot came out from inside, clasped his hands together, and said expressionlessly: "Amitabha, all benefactors, forgive me, I just finished my morning class, so I will give the benefactor a Confess. Clean up the dust and bring people up."

Liao Chen responded, "Yes, Abbot."

Cui Miao smiled arrogantly and said, "The abbot really keeps his word!"

"People in Buddhism, don't lie."

After a while, Liaochen came over with two young monks carrying a sack.

Cui Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said puzzledly, "Abbot, what do you mean?"

The abbot gave Chen a wink, Chen understood, opened the sack, and inside was a dead body, the body was soaked and swollen, especially the face was bruised and swollen, and the original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Ah!" Cui Miao yelled and hid behind Shen Qing, her face turned pale with fright.

Shen Qing frowned, looked at the abbot, and said displeasedly: "What does the abbot mean?"

The abbot clasped his hands together, looked at the corpse with compassion, and said, "Amitabha, it's a sin. Yesterday I led people to search the temple. I didn't want to chase him, but this little thief fell into the well. When I sent people to rescue him, he had passed away. "

Cui Miao hid behind Shen Qing, looked at the corpse on the ground with eyes open and closed, and said: "How long will it take for you to rescue this person from falling into the well? How can this corpse look like this?"

"To tell the benefactor, the well is extremely deep. In addition, it was late at night, and it took us a lot of effort to fish him up. That's why the corpse looks like this."

Shen Qing squatted down to check, except for some bruises, there was indeed no wound on the body of the deceased, Cui Miao pulled Shen Qing's clothes, and said in fear: "Brother, don't touch him, it's very unlucky, since this little thief is already dead , let's go."

Shen Qing stood up, and said calmly: "Since the thief is dead, then what happened yesterday will come to an end."

"Brother, hurry up, come to worship with me in the Buddhist hall, and go to get rid of bad luck." Cui Miao pulled Shen Qing, and said to the corpse: "If you are wronged, you have a debtor. If you want to be a ghost, you can find whoever you want to take revenge on. Don't come to me, after you go down the mountain, the master will burn paper money for you."

Shen Qing was dragged out of the abbot's yard by Cui Miao, the abbot stood on the ground with a gloomy expression, if it wasn't for the habit of dealing with things calmly that he had cultivated all the year round, it would have torn Cui Miao's heart.

"Drag people to the back mountain and bury them. Keep an eye on them. Don't take it lightly."

Liao Chen quickly responded and led his men to drag the corpse out of the yard.

After leaving the abbot's courtyard, Shen Qing looked around and said in a low voice: "There is no fatal trauma on the body, it looks like he was drowned."

Cui Miao sneered, and responded softly: "This old monk is so experienced, how can he make us suspicious, he just made some small mistakes, and then killed him ruthlessly, which shows how ruthless these people are, we must be extremely careful in our actions in the future."

Shen Qing nodded and asked, "Then what should we do next?"

Cui Miao smiled and said: "Go to the main hall to worship, add some sesame oil money, and go to get rid of bad luck."

Cui Miao and his group swaggered towards the main hall, and the young monks in the temple followed quickly. Liao Hai, the leader, saw the crowd entering the main hall, and followed them in two or three steps.Seeing Cui Miao kneeling on the futon and looking at him, Liao Hai couldn't help being taken aback, and then reacted, took a few sticks of incense from the table, lit them on the candle, and handed them to Cui Miao and Shen Qing.

Cui Miao took it, and said angrily: "There is no wink at all, the incense in Guangyuan Temple is not good, and it is not unreasonable."

The corner of Liao Hai's mouth twitched, annoyed in his heart, and desperately told himself that he was not as knowledgeable as him.

Cui Miao and Shen Qing knelt on the ground, closed their eyes, and raised their hands to burn incense above their heads. Their expressions gradually became pious, and they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the Buddha would bless them, that their lives would be smooth in the future, and that they could grow old together with those around them.

Xue Lu and the others also lit incense one after another, and then everyone stood up and was about to leave when Cui Miao, who was still alive just now, suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching non-stop.Shen Qing's complexion changed, he quickly hugged him into his arms, and shouted loudly: "Second brother is sick, hurry up and get the medicine!"

Everyone was startled and froze on the spot for a moment.

Xue Lu came back to his senses first, and said in a panic: "Take, take the medicine, I'll go right away!"

Seeing that everyone was about to gather around, Shen Qing roared with a gloomy expression: "Don't get close, spread out!"

Everyone quickly stopped in their tracks and looked at Shen Qing in a daze, only to see that he squeezed Cui Miao's chin forcefully, forcing him to open his mouth, and put his palm into Cui Miao's mouth.Cui Miao bit Shen Qing's palm fiercely as if losing consciousness, her teeth sneaked into Shen Qing's palm, and blood flowed out instantly, but Shen Qing seemed to be unconscious, and whispered softly in Cui Miao's ear: "Da Lang, It’s okay, it will pass soon. It’s okay,,,,,,”

After a while, Xue Lu ran in from the outside in a panic, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, handing it to Shen Qing, panting and saying: "Master, the medicine. The medicine is here!"

"Old horse, get water!"

Ma Qiang responded, took off the water bag from his waist, handed it to Shen Qing, and said: "Water."

"Pinch Second Master's chin."

Xue Lu quickly responded, stretched out his hand to pinch Cui Miao's chin, Shen Qing took out his palm, put a pill from the porcelain bottle, put it into Cui Miao's mouth, and gave him another sip of water.After taking the pill, Cui Miao, who was still twitching just now, slowly calmed down.

Shen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, picked Cui Miao up, and said, "Go back to the guest room, the second master needs to rest, and no one should disturb him!"

Everyone 'hula la' went away, leaving only Hai and others who couldn't recover for a while.After he came back to his senses, he ordered: "Go, watch outside the courtyard, their every move will be under your monitoring, do you understand?"

The little monk left at the sound, turned around and walked towards the abbot's yard.After learning what happened to Hai Jiang just now, he told the abbot in detail.

The abbot was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Just watch, as long as they don't mess around, don't bother, if there are any changes, don't have any worries."

After going out to sea, the abbot closed his eyes, and the sound of wooden fish sounded again.

In the courtyard where Cui Miao and others lived, Ma Qiang and Chen Hu were guarding the gate, Wang Cong and Wang Cai were guarding the gate. Shen Qing carried Cui Miao into the guest room and put him on the bed. Xue Lu followed closely behind and closed the door. Alright, when he came to the bed, Cui Miao, who was pale just now, happened to check Shen Qing's bitten right hand carefully.

Cui Miao looked at Shen Qing distressedly, and said, "Brother Xue, bring some wound medicine."

Xue Lu responded and took the golden sore medicine from the package, and some gauze.Cui Miao took it, and carefully treated Shen Qing's wound, and said distressedly: "Master Hou, does it hurt?"

Shen Qing said in a warm voice: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit of skin."

"If not, I'm afraid those people won't believe it, so they can only wrong Lord Hou."

"I know. Don't worry, this little injury is nothing compared to your injury."

Seeing that both of them were fine, Xue Lu interjected: "Master Hou, Cui Miao, next time we will make another move, please let me know in advance, I'm scared to death by you."

Cui Miao smiled and blinked, and said, "Didn't Brother Xue cooperate very well?"

Xue Lu said angrily, "I searched for a long time before I found that bottle of medicine!"

When Cui Miao heard the word 'medicine', her complexion changed suddenly, and she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.That bottle of medicine was a tonic made by Wang Zhizhong for Cui Miao. It was specially made into pills and placed in a porcelain bottle for easy carrying and taking. He also told Shen Qing to let Cui Miao take one pill every day.

Cui Miao said with a wry smile: "Next time someone else will act, this medicine is so bitter that I want to die!"

Shen Qing frowned upon hearing this, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Da Lang!"

Cui Miao quickly agreed: "Mmm, Master Hou is right, I take back what I just said."

Xue Lu looked at the two of them, a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his eyes.

For a whole day, the arrogant and domineering old man lay quietly on the bed, and the young monk who was guarding outside the courtyard suddenly became quieter, and he was not used to it.

Liao Hai came to the little monk and asked, "What's going on inside?"

The little monk replied in a low voice: "Brother, since they entered the courtyard, they have never come out except for lunch at noon. It is very quiet inside. It seems that the old man is seriously ill."

Liao Hai nodded, and said: "Keep an eye on it. If there is any situation, please notify me as soon as possible."

"Brother, don't worry, we will take turns to watch, and we promise that nothing will go wrong!"

In the middle of the night, the little monk outside the courtyard began to feel sleepy, yawning one after another, and suddenly smelled a sweet smell, and then lost consciousness.

Ma Qiang and Chen Hu carefully helped the two young monks under a big tree outside the courtyard, cleaned the ground, quietly came to the door, imitated two meows, and then two figures came out of the courtyard .

Cui Miao instructed in a low voice: "The Mixiang is only effective for half an hour, you guard the gate well, we will definitely come back before dawn."

"Don't worry, Qianhu, we will guard the door and wait for you to come back."

Cui Miao didn't delay anymore, and Xue Lu walked carefully inside the temple, avoiding the young monks who were watching the night, and came to the entrance of the main hall.The main hall was brightly lit, but there was no one on duty inside. Cui Miao and Xue Lu looked at each other and left quietly, arriving at a remote place.Cui Miao said in a low voice: "There are strangers here, but the door is still wide open. It seems that the main hall is not where the entrance is. Let's look elsewhere."
