Bandit Reborn

Li Long is internally deficient and externally tainted. After taking two medicines for a while, he is almost back to normal. At the end of June, the results of the government examination came out. Li Long got a result at the end of the crane test, and his name was above 'Sun Shan' ,second last.Although his ranking was not good, he passed the exam after all, and now his illness is completely cured.

The college examination is held every three years, and one subject was just taught last year, so Li Long is very lucky, he still has two years to enrich himself.

Li Chengkui brought his three sons to visit his husband with a gift of thanks.Li Longfu has passed the test, and he can just read at home in the future. Li Hu has also completed the most basic reading requirements, so he doesn't need to go to school from the second half of the year. Only Li Huaixi, the youngest, is left at home.Li Chengkui was a little worried, so he took the opportunity of thanking the teacher and wanted to ask Mr. again.

Mr. Li was also very happy that Li Long passed two tests. He stroked his goatee and said to Li Long, "If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me. I have nothing to do in these years. The scientific research is still a matter of learning." Know a thing or two."

Turning to look at Li Hu, Mr. raised his hand and patted him on the head, "Simple-faced and slippery, he is a material for business. Now you are happy, no one will beat you again." Li Hu Hehe smiled, really happy.

"But what will Huaixi do in the future? It seems to be more than five miles from my house to my school. Let such a young child walk this distance by himself? Also, why is Huaixi so thin recently? I heard that your house I have won another daughter, so do you want to favor one over another?" The gentleman has a bad temper, and when he was abducted to Li Huaixi, he suddenly lost his temper with Li Chengkui.

"Ah? No, no! You have wronged me. This child may have started suffering from summer again recently, and he doesn't like to eat anything. We are also in a hurry. This time, I just want to ask Mr. to take care of me. He is young, so I'm afraid he will be bullied by older children." Li Chengkui hurriedly explained that although he was not a disciple of his husband, he was nervous when he saw him, which was caused by blind worship of scholars.

"Oh, so that's the case. I misunderstood you. You don't have to worry about Huaixi in the school. If I look at him, nothing will happen to him." The husband also saw that Li Chengkui is a good father. After saying a few words, Li Chengkui was very flattered.

Li Huaixi was listlessly sitting next to his father. He hadn't boxed in the yard for three days, and he couldn't eat the food these days. He didn't feel any discomfort, it was neither painful nor itchy, but he just felt that he was about to die. , He wanted to go to his grandma, but his mother said that the uncle's house was busy with farm work now, and I was afraid that if he went, he would make his aunt look down, so he didn't go.

On the way back, Li Huaixi glanced at the direction of the county seat. Now that the flood season is here, there are a lot of things to be busy in the yamen. Lin Yichen has not shown up for many days. From tomorrow onwards, he will go to school by himself. Li Huaixi looked up Looking at the gloomy sky, I suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet, which was a bit unusual.

At this time Li Hu gave him a hand, and Li Huaixi saw his mouth opening and closing as if he was talking to him excitedly, but he couldn't answer, because he was suddenly surprised to find that he couldn't hear, not at all. Seeing that Li Hu in front of him became more and more blurred, Li Huaixi smiled bitterly and fell down, thinking that this was just a dream, his gas was turned off properly, and when he woke up from the dream, he was still Meng Guangqing covered in scars.

Li Chengkui's house was in chaos, and Li Huaixi collapsed on the road without any warning. He fell into a coma for three days and showed no sign of waking up. Several doctors came and went, poured medicine, administered acupuncture, and tried all kinds of prescriptions and folk remedies. Over and over, but there is no way.

Grandma came back on the fourth day, and when she came back, she didn't have time to scold her little daughter, so she stood by Li Huaixi's side in disheveled clothes, and called twice every once in a while. Trauma, but with eyes closed like that, the whole family gradually had an ominous premonition.

On the morning of the sixth day, Li Huaixi's breath became weaker and weaker. The old doctor invited from the city shook his head before leaving, "Let's prepare for the funeral."

His mother fell down when she heard the words, and the grandma put down her grandson, and finally came over and gave her two big mouths, "I told you to watch him, what have you been doing all day?! Where is the golden bell on Huaixi's waist? Where did it go?" ?! Your daughter’s life is fate, but I’m Huaixi’s?! The child is still alive, why are you pretending to be dead?! The doctor can’t do it, you can find me a car, and we go to the temple, kowtow to me Both are willing, or you can prepare two coffins for us, and our mother and I will go together! You and your family can live in peace and happiness!"

"Mother, I didn't, I didn't! This child has been doing well, and he gave Si'er the bell himself..."

"I don't listen to you! Get out of here! Are you looking for a car? If you don't find a car for us, I will carry my darling grandson to the Bodhisattva!" The old lady was anxious and trembling. I went to hug Li Huaixi, but I didn't hug him twice. The old lady hasn't slept in two days.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go, I'll find a car!" Li Chengkui left the house with red eyes, but Li Huaixi was notoriously ill, and the nearby carriages were unwilling to pull them, fearing that it would be bad luck for the child to die in the car.Li Chengkui had no choice but to go to the temple with his son in his arms, when a carriage stopped beside him, and the county magistrate's young face appeared in front of him, "How is Huaixi? I ​​heard he is ill."

Li Chengkui looked at the large carriage of the county magistrate, and quickly knelt down, "My lord, please help Huaixi, he is going to die, he is really going to die, can you take us to the temple? Huaixi hurry up No more!"

Lin Yichen was taken aback, "Uncle Li, you are not kidding me, this is no fun!"

Li Chengkui was about to cry, the county magistrate must be confused, "My lord, Caomin dare not make fun of his own child's life, Huaixi really can't do it!"

Lin Yichen looked carefully at Li Chengkui on the ground, and suddenly became furious, "Then why don't you hurry up?!"

Hearing this, Li Chengkui quickly got up from the ground. He didn't dare to sit in the carriage, and sat down next to the coachman. Lin Yichen urged, and the coachman raised his whip, and the four fast horses started to run, and they arrived at Li Chengkui's house in a short while.

Lin Yichen got out of the car faster than Li Chengkui, and he didn't care about the taboos inside and outside the house, and rushed to Li Huaixi directly. He wanted to hug Li Huaixi and leave, but seeing Li Huaixi's appearance, he lost all strength.Li Huaixi on the bed was so skinny, only skin and bones remained, his originally white skin became like paper, his breathing was so weak that he could barely feel it, and he was not at all angry. This was not the Li Huaixi he knew at all.

Lin Yichen carefully touched the little person on the bed, it was still warm, which made him regain some strength.Lin Yichen separated from the crowd, picked up Li Huaixi, walked towards the carriage, and whispered in Li Huaixi's ear, "My little white fox, didn't you say you came to repay your kindness? What are you doing now? Pretending to be dead is not fun, you Open your eyes and look at me, will I accept you?..." But his little white fox didn't answer him, Lin Yichen burst into tears as he spoke.

Li Huaixi was laid flat on the cushion in the carriage, Lin Yichen looked at him without blinking, the carriage passed by the wasteland by the river, Lin Yichen glanced out, suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

There was not room for too many people in the carriage, and finally only Li Chengkui and his grandmother got into the carriage. Li Chengkui was still sitting with the coachman, and his grandmother sat in the carriage and watched over Li Huaixi, dabbing some water on his chapped lips from time to time. The water and rice have not been taken in for two days.

The carriage rushed all the way, and it took half an hour to arrive at Jingtan Temple, the most incense-filled temple in the north of the city. The old abbot inside is over [-] years old, and he is a well-known eminent monk. here.The temple is built on the top of the mountain, and the carriage only reaches halfway up the mountain, and then there are bluestone steps, and the people who burn incense have to walk by themselves.

Li Chengkui got out of the car and took Li Huaixi over to hold him in his arms. His breath was weaker than before, and his chest could hardly be seen rising and falling. Li Chengkui put his face on his younger son's, "Son, hold on, dad will take you!" Go to the Bodhisattva, beg him to be merciful and merciful, and return your soul back."

There are more than 200 steps. Li Chengkui walked up the steps step by step with his son in his arms. Lin Yichen walked behind with his grandmother. The old lady was also very weak, but she insisted on walking up the mountain by herself.

Today is not the right day for offering incense, and not many people came to burn incense. Li Chengkui carried his son all the way to the main hall, and knelt down with a plop, "Bodhisattva, please save my son, save my son!"

The little novice who knocked on the wooden fish was taken aback. People often come to the temple to ask for blessings from the Bodhisattva, but it is rare to see such a child with a dying child in his arms. So he quickly stood up and went to the back meditation room to find the abbot.

The old abbot came to the main hall leaning on his Zen staff. He has practiced for many years, and this kind of thing has happened to him a few times.

"You can take him to my meditation room, and let the old monk take a look."

This sentence was tantamount to the sound of nature in everyone's ears. Li Chengkui hurriedly hugged Li Huaixi and followed the old abbot, and his grandmother followed closely behind with a sigh of relief.

Lin Yichen didn't follow in right away. Before he went in, he knelt down and kowtowed sincerely, "Bodhisattva, please rescue him. If he is safe and sound, I, Lin Yichen, will reshape your golden body for you, and I will never break my promise! "

In the meditation room, the old abbot asked Li Chengkui to put Li Huaixi on the bed, gave Li Huaixi his pulse and nodded, "This child has no other symptoms except some physical weakness. This is a departed soul, and solid medicine cannot cure it. Go out Come in three hours later and prepare some soup, he will drink it later."

"My son is saved?! Thank you abbot, thank you abbot!" Li Chengkui was so happy that he thanked the abbot repeatedly. The old abbot waved his hand at him, and sat on the futon and recited scriptures by himself.

The abbot's calm and unwavering voice reassured the three of them. At this moment, grandma couldn't bear it any longer. Lin Yichen helped her out of the Zen room, and she sat on the steps when she went out, "It's okay."

Lin Yichen called a young novice monk, "Master, please go down the mountain. My coachman is waiting below. Let him go back to the city to get some light chicken soup. My surname is Lin, and there is my family's crest on the carriage."

The little novice promised and ran down. There is only one family in this county named Lin with a carriage and a family emblem, and that is the family of the county grandfather. These monks are not unworldly, they have more eyes than ordinary people.

"My lord, thank you so much today, otherwise my grandson would have died." Grandma regained her strength, and then remembered to thank the magistrate.

"You are too polite. You are Huaixi's elder, so don't be polite to me. You sit here for a while, and I will let them tidy up the two guest rooms. You can also rest for a while. I am afraid that Huaixi is not suitable for traveling these days. Lawton, I’ll make some arrangements.” There are also guest rooms in the temple for pilgrims to rest, but like inns, they are divided into different classes, Lin Yichen does not want Li Huaixi to be wronged, and his heart is still beating now, he I want to find something to do for myself.

"Here, my lord, we are very grateful that you can send us here, how dare you bother you to do these things, I will just go." Li Chengkui hurriedly stopped by.

"It doesn't matter, Huaixi and I have always been rude, so you don't have to." Lin Yichen looked up at the closed door of the meditation room, and left in a state of anxiety.

"Cheng Kui, go back and tell your daughter-in-law so that she won't worry, and bring me Huaixi's things, and I will take them away as soon as Huaixi is well. I still have a few pension funds. It is better to raise a child." I can afford it." The old lady got angry, and when she saw the magistrate left, she immediately lowered her face.

"Mother, aren't you slapping me in the face? Since Huaixi called me daddy, then I have to support him. I'm a little busy these days, and I don't take care of him, but I really treat him as my own son." Look, you can't do this." Li Chengkui squatted under the big tree in the yard, and answered the old lady with his neck stuck.

"I can't do this! But go back and ask your wife, how many times has she seen Huaixi since your little girl was born?! Is Huaixi an ordinary child? This child sleeps with his fists clenched, I can't wait to shrink into a small ball. The day you got married, Huaixi began to be afraid that one day his mother would abandon him, so he guarded the old house and refused to go with his mother. This child is greedy, he Not greedy for anything else, he is greedy for pets!

Cheng Kui, mother knows you, you are Huaixi's good father, and your own father may not be able to do what you do, mother is angry with her daughter, this silly girl is incompetent to be someone's mother! "

Li Chengkui couldn't refute it. The old lady told the truth, but she also complained for her daughter-in-law in her heart. The youngest daughter in the family was born with many disasters. In the past few months, she only drank milk and took medicine. The scholar was tired and fell ill, and the daughter-in-law was busy with one end and the other after finishing her work. How could that carefree temper care about what the youngest son was thinking, and fell asleep every night when she was so tired.But it's useless to talk to the old lady, the old lady only loves this one in the room, even if you have all kinds of hardships, if something happens to Li Huaixi, the old lady will never forgive anyone lightly.

After a while, Lin Yichen came back, "The guest room has been arranged, grandma, you can go and rest for a while, I will guard here."

"Where can I lie down? I'll just wait here. After a while, my dear grandson will be able to see grandma at a glance after waking up. Hey, it would have been better if I hadn't left back then, and I wouldn't have made such a fuss." After the wife and daughter and son-in-law lost their temper, they blamed themselves again.

Li Chengkui squatted under the tree without saying a word. Although the abbot said very firmly, he didn't see his son wake up, so he didn't dare to go back and report to his family.

The three of them stood guard outside the meditation room minute by minute. The sound of chanting inside never stopped, and no one spoke anymore, and the heart that had been suspended all the time began to tug again.

Li Huaixi in it is also very hard. He feels that he is having a long, long dream. The dream is chaotic, and he can't see anything clearly. He keeps walking towards a light. Although he doesn't know what the end of the light is, but It was better than the blackness around him, but it was about to end, when suddenly a force pulled him back, and then he saw the face of an old monk.

The old monk smiled kindly at him, "Are you awake? Just wake up. Almighty Lord, the past is the past, and the path in this life is different from the path in the past. Don't worry about gains and losses, just follow fate."

Li Huaixi stared blankly at the old monk, his physical condition did not allow him to speak, but two large characters rolled across his eyes like an advertisement—'Superior'!
