I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai
Chapter 187 Nature
Hei Shan glanced behind Cheng Yi'an, and said in surprise, "Didn't you bring the child out when you went out?"
Cheng Jin sighed, drank the tea in his hand, and said, "It's hard to say.
"What is it that stumps you? Although it is rare to be born with yin and yang eyes, it is not impossible to have a seal."
Cheng Jin rested his chin on the table: "It would be fine if it's just yin and yang eyes."
"What else?"
"Little Zhou Jia has double pupils."
"Double pupils?" Heishan's voice froze for a moment. No wonder he was surprised. People with double pupils have a hard life, but if they can grow up, they will be dragons and phoenixes without exception. "Did you tell that ghost?"
Cheng Jin nodded: "Of course, it doesn't make sense for me to hide this matter, but I'm afraid I can't send little Zhou Jia to the capital as planned."
According to his thinking as a modern person, double pupil is just the cohesive distortion of pupils, and has no other special meaning.But it was different in ancient times, folks regarded double pupils as a different kind, and they were ominous people, but at a higher level, those with double pupils had a precious life, and they were the signs of saints.
What's more, in this world of ghosts and foxes, Cheng Jin really dare not judge Xiao Zhou Jia's state by his own standards.
"I'm afraid I have to go to the capital again."
The news that there was an evil servant in the Lin family in Tianshui Town quickly spread throughout the town. The change of the evil servant was shocking. After the Niang case, offending the Chai family and the Jin family, it doesn't take long to withdraw from the ranks of rich households in Tianshui.
Cheng Jin did not forget the agreement with little Zhou Jia. Before going to the capital, he went back to Tangxi and asked Ah Cong to cook some vegetarian food that children like tomorrow. After sleeping for a while, he went to the capital at night.
Fu Chengshu was obviously waiting for the news, but the cat beside him was leisurely, fiddled with the little fur ball next to his paw, which showed that he was having a pretty good life.
Cheng Jin arrived at this time.
"Yi'an, why did you come in person? Something happened to Zhou Jia?"
Fu Chengshu was worried in his heart, and his face was not very good-looking. He had never been too serious in front of people close to him. At this moment, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he had already guessed the worst of the matter in his heart.
However, what he didn't expect was that the reality was much worse than he thought.
"Evil servants changing sons? Double pupils? Yin and Yang eyes?" Fu Chengshu couldn't hide his surprise on his face, but he soon realized that he might not be able to keep Brother Zhou's children by his side, "Does Brother Zhou know? "
Cheng Jin nodded: "I already know."
Pan Maomao, who was eating melons at the side: ...There is nothing so exciting in the drama, this child is really unlucky.
"What does he mean?"
"Zhou Taishi didn't say anything, but he had a very bad complexion at the time. He just said that he wanted to go back to the underworld, and then disappeared in a wisp of smoke." Cheng Jin took a sip of tea and said, "I will go back tomorrow. Go to Wanfu Temple."
If it wasn't for double pupils, everything would be easy, but double pupils...
"Yi'an, there's no way to hide double pupils in the world of ghosts and demons?"
Cheng Jin also asked Hei Lulu the same question, but unfortunately, although there is a way, it is not easy.
"No, people with double pupils have a very high fate. How dare an ordinary ghost demon use spells to cover it up? It will cost your life and merit. If it is a cat demon like me, it may take three to five days to cover it up, or even transform into a human body." I can't do it anymore." Maomao suddenly said, "Even the demon king can't afford this kind of consumption." Unless it's desperate.
So, there are only two options.
Either let little Zhou Jia stay in Wanfu Temple, with the blessing of Abbot Fuyuan and Hongfa, and his life should be peaceful and safe, or he can take over Zhou Zhou's family tree down the mountain. As for his future life, I'm afraid it will not be so smooth.
It's just that Zhou Jia is still young now, and he can stay in the back mountain of Buddhism innocently, as long as he goes out of the temple to water the flowers every morning, he can be happy all day long, but what about when he grows up?
No one can predict the future, so it is no wonder that Abbot Fu Yuan asked him if he believed in fate.
And at this moment in the underworld, Zhou Lin was kneeling in the judge's hall, begging the judge to point out a way.He is not a qualified father. His child has suffered a lot since birth. First, he lost his mother, and his parents were unkind, and then he was replaced by evil servants. Now he has double pupils and yin and yang eyes. He is still a father. Gone early, leaving the child alone.
But Buddhism is poor, and fathers always hope that their children can live better.
"Once a person dies, the things in his life are just like a passing cloud. Why should you cling to the past? You are a ghost now, and he is a human. Do you need me to explain to you again the truth that humans and ghosts have different paths?"
The magistrate was sitting high on the stage. He didn't face Cheng Jinshi's banter at this moment, but he was majestic, so that ghosts dare not look directly at him.
"But this is what I owe him. If I was alive..."
The judge directly interrupted Zhou Lin: "This is just your wishful thinking. People with double pupils have always been very assertive. How do you know that he is not doing well now?"
What's more, this little double pupil unexpectedly met Cheng Yi'an, who is a soul from another world that is rare in the ages, and the magistrate was looking forward to the wonderful reaction of the two of them staying together.
"But you don't have to worry too much, everything goes with the flow, which is the best fate."
Let nature take its course?
Zhou Lin is not stupid, of course he can hear the meaning of the last sentence of the judge, but does Jiaer really make good fortune every time he dies?
He didn't dare to think, and he couldn't think deeply.
**
On the second day, after Cheng Jin finished his official duties, he took the lunch prepared by Ah Cong and walked to Wanfu Temple outside Tianshui Town.
Hongfa was waiting at the gate of the temple earlier, his eyes were still wary, but compared to yesterday, he was much more kind.
"Master Cheng, please follow me."
The road to Houshan had already been walked once yesterday, and Cheng Jin soon saw the small thatched hut again. He still had afternoon classes to spread the Dharma, and although he was worried, he still didn't stay because of Master's words.
"Big brother, you're here~"
Cheng Jin looked at the little monk who only reached his knees in front of him, and shook the food box in his hand: "Yes, look what big brother brought you~"
"Sweet, I want to eat!"
It's not cold at noon in spring.A small table was set up outside the hut, and Cheng Jin cleaned the table before bringing out the vegetables and snacks in the food box.
Due to the rules of national mourning some time ago, Ah Cong's skill in making vegetarian food has improved by leaps and bounds recently.
Fresh fried tofu balls, hibiscus fresh vegetable soup, a plate of fried mushrooms, and a plate of shredded yam. At the bottom, there are two bowls of freshly ground sweet soy milk and a large portion of cat ears and osmanthus cake wrapped in oiled paper.
This is obviously for two people, but the little master Hongfa is very principled, so Cheng Jin can only save one in the food box, saying: "This is for your brother, remember to remind him to eat."
"Good!"
The little bald head is cute and cute. He eats round balls with a round head and a round brain. He looks very appetizing. But Cheng Jin came here after eating, so he is not greedy.
"Is it delicious? If it's delicious, next time big brother will give it to you."
Probably out of some kind of empathy, Cheng Jin felt that he was very kind to this child, even without Zhou Lin and his senior brother's entrustment, he would still do these things.
Life is not "ordinary", sometimes it is also a burden.
"It's delicious, and the elder brother will eat it too!" The little monk thought to himself, the elder brother is really an excellent person, and he is only a little worse than the senior brother. He looked at the dishes on the table and decided to eat less.In this way, when the senior brother came back, they could have another meal.
"Is this enough?"
Little Zhou Jia obediently put down her chopsticks and nodded, "I'm full, thank you big brother."
Cheng Jin saw that the boy was thin and small, and he wasn't sure how much he would eat, so he didn't try to force him any more. Just as he was about to tidy up, he saw the little monk slipping off the chair, and the patch on the hem of the monk's clothes was scratched in an instant because of the rapid sliding. up.
Before Cheng Jin called to stop him, the child ran into the house in a flash, and came out holding a flower pot in his hands after a while.Cheng Jin hurriedly took a few steps to catch it, it looked like he was about to fall.
"It's okay, brother said that I'm very capable and I won't fall."
...Cheng Jin silently put the flowerpot on the table.
Little Zhou Jia happily climbed onto the chair, and pushed the flower pot in front of Cheng Jin with great effort: "For your big brother, these are the flowers I planted, aren't they beautiful?"
Cheng Jin glanced at the green plants that didn't even have flower buds, and nodded against his will: "It's beautiful."
"Brother said the same thing."
Your senior brother is obviously perfunctory.
But, Cheng Jin looked at the flowerpot on the table: "Can I really accept it?"
"Of course, I don't give it away to ordinary people." Just like other senior brothers who would bully him in the temple before, he didn't even give away a tree leaf, humming.
It's quite a big kid, and I don't know how the abbot taught him.
"Then I'll accept it, and next time I come, Big Brother will bring you something fun."
Little Zhou Jia's eyes lit up obviously, it can be seen that he is still yearning for the outside world while staying in this lonely back mountain: "Big brother, what is it like outside?"
"It's almost the same as in the temple, and they are all human, but the people outside have hair." This statement is very Cheng Yi'an and very spiritual.
Little Zhou Jia reached out and touched his little bald head, and laughed: "Are they all as good-looking as big brother?"
Oh, what's going on, no matter if it's old or young, why are their mouths so sweet? Originally, Cheng Jin was in a normal mood when he came here, but now he felt inexplicably healed by a child: "Of course not , as good-looking as big brother, but very few of them."
Hongfa who just came back from lunch class: ...This benefactor is so shameless.
Little Zhou Jia was the first to see Hongfa, and he got down from the table very happily, and then successfully scratched a hem of his clothes, but he didn't notice it at all, and ran over happily and chirped: "Senior brother, brother, come and eat, big brother brought it The tofu is delicious, completely different from the ones made in the temple, eat it quickly."
Before Hongfa could speak, his mouth was blocked by a tofu ball.
Cheng Jin: Hahahahaha, little master, your concentration is about to collapse~
Cheng Jin sighed, drank the tea in his hand, and said, "It's hard to say.
"What is it that stumps you? Although it is rare to be born with yin and yang eyes, it is not impossible to have a seal."
Cheng Jin rested his chin on the table: "It would be fine if it's just yin and yang eyes."
