Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

Time flies, Lin Jue looked at the bowl of birthday noodles in front of him, smiled happily, rubbed the little monk's head, it was still as smooth and shiny as before, but it was no longer three-headed, and a little childish.

"Brother, this is made by the younger brother himself, you can't just watch and not eat!" The little monk put his hands together and said.

Lin Jue looked at the little monk, and then at the birthday noodles. It was a very simple bowl of birthday noodles, with only a few green vegetables floating on the noodle soup. Lin Jue took a sip of the soup, which was only boiled in clear water, and there was no chicken soup. Gravy, but Lin Jue felt that this was the most delicious noodle soup he had ever drank in his life.I am eating plain noodles, very light taste, slightly salty.

Seeing that Lin Jue ate up all the noodles, the little monk touched his head and smiled happily: "Senior brother is used to the little monk's noodles, and the little monk is very happy."

Lin Jue's tears welled up in an instant. Who would believe that the son of the governor of Shanxi, who passed the examination of Juren at the age of 11, celebrated his 17th birthday in a temple with a young monk accompanying him Woolen cloth?

And it has been a year since the 16-year-old date between him and Shi Ziwei, Lin Jue has faded away from the youthful innocence, and is full of the kind of sunshine that only belongs to young people.However, a year ago, Lin Jue became the disciple of Master Puye and became the only disciple who practiced with hair. He also had another name, Xuanling.According to Master Puye, Lin Jue is full of aura, but it is a pity that the six sense organs are not pure. If he can devote himself to the Buddha, he must be a rare holy monk. Lin Jue can only laugh at such an evaluation.

Counting the days, he has already stayed in Qingquan Temple for two years. Except for the first half year, there was still news from Beijing urging him to go back. In the past year and a half, he has lived almost isolated from the world, only Lin Xiang occasionally sent some When the news came up, there was only a letter from the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, saying that they wanted this and that.Master Kong also assigned some homework and asked him to write a few articles and send them back for him to read.

Sighing, Lin Jue shook his head. On such a happy day, what do you think about these things?The past two years have been really easy. I only need to deal with the common things at home and write a few articles.

Looking at the little monk, Lin Jue pinched his little nose and said, "I've already finished drinking noodles, don't think that you have bribed me, you don't have to do morning class today, go to morning class now."

The little monk shook his head following Lin Jue's hand, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit Lin Jue's finger in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Hmph, the little monk's nose is not for you to pinch casually."

Lin Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to beg for mercy: "The villain knows his mistake, the great monk should spare the villain."

The little monk let go of Lin Jue's hand, and ran away laughing.

Lin Jue looked at the saliva on his right hand, smiled helplessly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean.

Just when Lin Jue was thinking about what gift to return to the little monk, he saw the little monk running back quickly. Lin Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise, and mocked: "Is there a dog chasing you? Or is it a monk?" , what are you doing running so fast?"

The little monk supported the table, panted slowly, out of breath, and said, "Someone is looking for you, it seems to be a big deal. Hurry up and go to the master's room, I'll wait for you there!"

Lin Jue was taken aback, what's the big deal?What major event can have anything to do with me now?Lin Jue hurriedly walked to the abbot's room, thinking about who would come looking for her as she walked.From the impossible Lin Ruhai, Shi Ziwei to...

Seeing Mrs. Du and Father Lin walking around in the room, Lin Jue was extremely surprised. In the past two years, Lin Jue would occasionally visit the Lin family when he went down the mountain, and he got to know him a lot. At least, his little brother would know What is he now.However, apart from fulfilling his vows, Du Shi rarely went up the mountain.Seeing them at first glance, Lin Jue was very surprised.

"Jue'er, you have to help mother!" Mrs. Du rushed over to hold Lin Jue's hand, weeping uncontrollably.

Lin Jue patted Mrs. Du's hand, helped Mrs. Du onto the chair, and looked at Father Lin who was restless: "Father, what happened?"

Father Lin looked at Master Puye in some embarrassment. Master Puye chanted the Buddha's name and retreated with the young monk.

Father Lin sighed deeply, before saying, "Lin Yu is gone."

Lin Jue's body shook, and she almost subconsciously connected this incident with herself. She pinched the palm of her hand fiercely and said hoarsely, "Why did it disappear?"

"Look for yourself!" Father Lin knelt down, pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Lin Jue.

The above is very simple, with only one line of big characters: If you want Lin Yan, you can exchange it with Lin Jue.Don't let others know, otherwise, it will cost Lin Yu's life.

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Mrs. Du: "Mother, don't worry, since you are looking for me, I will definitely send Lin Yu back safely. Tell me in detail what's going on first."

Father Lin let out a long sigh and said, "I thought so too. Lin Yu disappeared yesterday. He went to the Six Arts School yesterday afternoon. Then, I didn't see him back at night, so I took someone to look for him. He finally found his book boy Lele in a haystack. At that time, Lele was in a coma. He just woke up before my mother and I went up the mountain. This piece of paper was found in Lele's arms."

Before Lin Jue could speak, Mrs. Du held Lin Jue's clothes tightly and cried, "Jue'er, he is your real brother, you must save him."

Lin Jue's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. He just looked at Mrs. Du's face and advised, "Since you said you are looking for me, then it's easy to handle. I think Mrs. Lin's complexion is not very good, maybe Maybe you haven't slept all night, or sleep first to refresh your spirits. When you wake up, maybe Lin Zhu will come back."

Mrs. Du didn't realize that Lin Jue had changed her name unknowingly. Hearing Lin Jue's words, he felt his heart suddenly relax. Once he relaxed, he felt a little tired.

Lin Jue smiled slightly and asked the little monk to take Mrs. Du to rest in his room.

Watching Mrs. Du leave, Lin's father patted Lin Jue's shoulder and comforted him: "Your mother is too nervous, you must not be angry with her!"

This action instantly made the relationship between them much closer. Lin Jue shook his head, but smiled silently.

Lin Jue looked at the sky and said, "It's been about six hours since Brother Yu disappeared. Since we can't let other people know, then we can't turn to the government for help, so we can only let them come to us. From Lin Jue It shows that I still know a little bit about me. I am staying in Qingquan Temple safely and securely in Jiangnan, and it cannot be obstructing the way of Jiangnan people, but it can only be people from Beijing."

Father Lin nodded, and looked at Lin Jue with relief, "That's right, before I went up the mountain, I asked my family members to inquire about the foreigners who came to Gusu these days."

Lin Jue raised her eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the paper. It was clearly written so that no one else would know.

Father Lin smiled wryly, and said, "If it was possible, I wouldn't want to gamble with Brother Yu's life, but Brother Yu is my son, and you are also my son. No matter how sensible and mature you are, In my opinion, it's just a child. I can't put you in danger just because of Brother Su. "

Lin Jue sniffed, and it was rare to be moved twice in one day.Some clumsily changed the subject, racking their brains to think: "Since they are foreigners, and they are starting from Brother Yu, then there must not be too many of them. If there are really many people, they can come to the mountain and take me away directly." There are not many people, so it is impossible to monitor the Lin family all the time. You and mother have come up the mountain, and I am also on the mountain. The possibility of them paying attention to the Lin family is very low. From this point of view, let the guys go to investigate the affairs of foreigners , as long as you are careful, it can be done.”

"We have done everything we can, and now we can only wait." Father Lin yawned and stayed up all night, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

After Lin Jue and Lin's father analyzed it like this, the strings in their minds were no longer tense, and they persuaded: "Before the robbers don't send any news, you should go to sleep first."

Father Lin thought about it and agreed.

Seeing Lin's father resting in his room, Lin Jue sat on the stool and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the little monk pushed open the door nervously and looked at Lin Jue with concern.

Lin Jue waved and called the little monk to come forward.The little monk nestled in Lin Jue's arms, tilted his head, and asked curiously, "What happened? Can I help?"

Lin Jue hugged the little monk, tried to calm himself down, and said: "Xuankong, I need someone to help me, send me a letter, can I trust you?"

The little monk stood up straight and nodded solemnly: "Monks don't tell lies."

Lin Jue leaned close to the little monk's ear and whispered: "What I want to say is so important that I can't write it down on paper. You can only remember what I said by yourself. Unless you see Guanqi, it is My book boy, no one else can talk about it. No one else must be present when talking to him."

The little monk bit his lips, and continued to listen to Lin Jue's instructions: "The vegetable farmer who comes up the mountain to deliver vegetables every day belongs to me. He will come in a while, so you..."

After listening to Lin Jue's words, the little monk whispered Lin Jue's words again, and then said loudly: "You won't be with me today?"

Lin Jue also followed him and said loudly: "I'm really sorry, I still have things to do. Why don't you go find other senior brothers to accompany you!"

The little monk opened the door and hurried away.

Knowing that the little monk should be relatively safe this time, Lin Jue's heart was still raised.In the past two years, the person closest to him was Xuan Kong, and he really didn't want to see the tragedy happen to the little monk.

While Lin Jue was waiting anxiously, Master Puye knocked on the door, and the voice seemed to flow into Lin Jue's heart like a spring, calming him down instantly.

"master!"

Master Puye looked at Lin Jue lovingly: "Xuan Ling, I have been trying to save you for the past two years. Tell me today, did I succeed?"
