Lei Yue Longmen

When everything quieted down, Cen Zhuo's soul floated on the water, as if he also died once.Until a sticky tongue stuck to her face like a big rag, a fishy sweetness surged up in her throat, bounced like a cannonball, and plunged into the cold water.

The pleasure of drowning and suffocation poured into the whole body in an instant.Cold?It was indeed very cold. The turbid river water in the twelfth lunar month poured over the top of the head like iron juice, and soon covered the whole body.From the root of the hair to the tip of the toe, it hurts like frying.

At that moment, she realized that Gu Shan wanted to use cold water to wash away his sins.

It is not so much a kind of exoneration as a kind of punishment.

When she choked on the cold water and climbed ashore tremblingly, the dog was still standing on the boat, tilting its head, looking at her like a fool.This is really a great irony.

"What happened next?" Yingrou asked cautiously.

Cen Zhu glanced at her, knowing what she wanted to ask, and said seriously: "Later, I saw a dying wild boar on the bank. It could speak human language, or was it an authentic northern accent? It said that it was killed by a hunter. After chasing for three days and three nights, I was dying. I begged me to kill it with a knife, so as to end its pain. I asked it, since it wanted to die so much, why didn't it just wait for the hunter to catch up with it, and finish it with a knife. Could it still be afraid? Was it skinned, boned, and roasted to eat meat after death? It said that it is almost the same as being skinned and eaten now? The only wish is to go back to your own pigsty before dying, and it is best to die in your own pigsty , don’t give a piece of pork cheaply to the hunter. I said, you didn’t build your pigsty yourself. , you died in your own pigsty, and you died on the hunter's site, what's the difference? It said that its ancestors had saved? The hunter's life, this pigsty was earned by it. He wanted to help the hunter guard the house, just like the hunter's dog, but later he gradually realized that he was a pig and was born to be eaten. He didn't want to be eaten, so he could only show his kindness to the hunter. The achievement shows its fangs. It has only done one thing in its life, which is to protect the pigsty that its ancestors sacrificed their lives for, but it still cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered. I say, you don’t get eaten for yourself , went to kill others, causing chaos in the world, all the animals lost their places, and at the end they wanted to write off everything. How could there be such a beautiful thing in the world? It said, 'Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it', If it is guilty, the hunter is not innocent. It also said that if I promise it, it will repay my great kindness as a cow or a horse in the next life. I said, I have never killed a pig, never? For a pig Pigs violate my principle of not killing pigs. But I have a hunter friend who is very good at killing pigs. I can ask her to kill you. He suddenly became mad and said that I and the hunter are in the same group, and I would rather die No? Died in my hands. Then he bumped into the dagger in my hand, pierced his throat and died on the spot."

Yingrou heard her three-point truth and seven-point false story, couldn't help laughing and said: "It said that it would rather die than die? It died by your hands, and finally died by your hands. How can there be such a stupid pig in the world? No wonder you can't keep your own pigsty well."

"Now you underestimate it. It arched to the hunter's waist. If it weren't for the hunter? There are two pieces of tendon meat, who will win the deer? It's hard to say."

Yingrou nodded: "That's true. Let me see your tendon, how is the injury on your hand?"

"How can I be a sinew, you still? It's really flattering me."

Ying Rou smiled and said nothing, held her right hand, saw a bulging scar on the palm of her hand, running across the entire palm, couldn't help but gasped, "What's going on?" She remembered that before she left, There is no such scar.

"It's nothing." Cen Zhu shrank back unnaturally, as if explaining and covering up, "It was... accidentally scratched before."

In fact, this was the wound she made herself with a short sword when Pinghuling and Li Jingxuan ran away and met a tiger.At that time, I was only thinking of leading the tiger away, but I didn't care how much effort I used, which caused the wound to be too deep and left a mark.

"Blood a lot? Blood?"

Cen Zhu nodded, Yingrou's eyes suddenly moved, "Maybe it's God's will."

Cen Zhu blinked his eyes puzzled.

Yingrou explained patiently: "I heard from that lady that your hand has been separated from the body for too long, and the blood has been imprisoned in it, and it has become bad blood, which cannot communicate with the body to replenish, causing the nerves in the hand to be very nervous. Difficult to recover. Madam made blood-activating medicine for you before, hoping to help you restore circulation, but the effect was not satisfactory. Now you made an incision yourself to let out all the bad blood. In this way, the new blood You can come in, but it forms a circle.”

"Really?" Seeing that she was serious about it, Cen Zhu withdrew his palm in a daze, held it in front of his chin to watch, and soon fell into deep thought, "I seem to remember what you said. I'm making this opening." Before, for a period of time, I always felt that my right hand was swollen, and my five fingers were swollen like buns. After the bloodletting, I didn’t have this feeling anymore.”

Yingrou smiled and said: "That's probably it."

Cen Zhu believed it in a daze, and was very emotional. Who would have expected that the cut she made at that time would save her own life later.Maybe somewhere in the world really has its own destiny.

"This is what you people from the Central Plains often say, it's a blessing in disguise." Yingrou calmed down a concern, and her words were much clearer.

But Cen Zhu remembered one more thing. This bulging feeling came after she was taken back to Daman Mountain by his wife for treatment after being shot by an arrow. Limb edema caused by injury, I never thought of other aspects, I don't know if it has something to do with this matter.Be sure to ask her the next time you see her.Having said that, since she went to the palace to reveal her identity that day, she hasn't shown up for a long time. I don't know when she will come back?

After a while, Yingrou looked at Cen Zhu thoughtfully, "Now, you don't have to bear the vengeance of your parents anymore, right? It's time to make good plans for your future."

Cen Zhu was stunned, showing a kind of resistance.These days she ate well and slept well on the mountain, accompanied by the sound of bells every day, climbed the mountain when she was bored, and talked Zen with Master at night. She lived a very comfortable life, so she didn't have to think about the future.If it wasn't for today's interest, she wouldn't even bother to reminisce about the past.

"I can't hide on the mountain forever." Yingrou persuaded patiently.

"Who said I hid?" Cen Zhu obviously forgot that he went to the mountain to hide quietly that day. If it was only a day or two, it would be fine. It has been almost half a month, and he stayed on the mountain. If she did not escape, Sakura Rou didn't really believe it.

"Why don't I go back to Lan Que with you?" Cen Zhu suddenly said something impromptu, but he didn't realize how big waves this sentence caused in other people's hearts.

There was a hint of surprise and shock in Yingrou's eyes, and she immediately covered it up, asking very softly, "What are you doing back to Lanque?"

Cen Zhu thought for a while, "Hmm—doing business? Or, opening a... small restaurant, in short, whatever you want to do." Her lack of plans just showed that she didn't really want to go to Lan Que, but just didn't want to meet To reality only.

Yingrou said lightly: "Okay, if you want to open a small restaurant, I will definitely help you and be the waiter."

When Cen Zhu heard her say this, he felt it was funny, "Being a waiter? Do you know how to do it? To be a waiter, you have to know how to yell, and you have to have the strength to serve the plate. You are so weak, you can't do it at first sight." .”

"You're young? I look down on people." Yingrou said unconvinced: "I can count as having traveled from south to north, and I may not lose to you in terms of qualifications and knowledge."

Seeing that she was getting serious, Cen Zhu nodded hurriedly, "That's right, in fact, you don't need to be a waiter, as long as you stop at the door of the store, there will definitely be a steady stream of customers coming. The business in the store is sure to make money."

Yingrou laughed, and seemed very satisfied with this evaluation.

The two talked and laughed for a while, but they didn't realize that the moon was in the middle.Yingrou really wanted to keep this night, but she knew that the time they spent together would eventually come to an end.

At this time, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and another whirlwind blew up, blinding Cen Zhu's eyes.Hurrying to protect Yingrou and go back to the house to hide, "Hey, is it going to rain?" But looking up, the moon is still hanging there, neither covered by dark clouds nor blown away by the wind.

Sakura Rouri took care of the wind-blown hair, "I don't know, the weather is always like this these days, it looks like it's going to rain, but it hasn't rained for a long time. It will be fine after a while."

Cen Zhu nodded, sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the temple became quiet again.Cen Zhu said with a smile: "Well, everyone said that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is blowing over the building, we were put together by it."

Ying Rou bent her lips and said: "It's so late, it's time to rest. Do you want to stay on the mountain tomorrow?"

Cen Zhu said "Yes" without thinking. To her, it doesn't matter what she does tomorrow, as long as she doesn't go back to the city.It suddenly occurred to him, or else he would go to the back mountain tomorrow to catch a rabbit and bring it back to raise, and call Shang Qingsong to go with him, anyway, he is more idle than himself.

"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow." Yingrou said suddenly.

Cen Zhu said "Huh?" and said unexpectedly, "What are you doing down the mountain in this weather?"

Yingrou: "I want to go down the mountain to make up some things for a long trip. Grandma's health is fine. I plan to leave in a few days."

Cen Zhu was caught off guard, and there was reluctance in his eyes.After thinking about it, "Then I will accompany you down the mountain tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, when Cen Zhu was getting ready to go out, he saw Yingrou walking over with his grandmother supporting him, and explained: "Grandma wants to go to the city with me, and see where Daddy was on the list back then." She might feel like this The request will? Inconvenience to Cen Zhu, I was a little embarrassed when I said it.

Cen Zhu smiled, "You have found the right person, no one is more familiar with the place on the list than me." After speaking, he winked at Yingrou, and helped the old lady to the mountain gate, where it had stopped long ago When carrying the small sedan chair with green curtains, the old lady's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she has to rely on the sedan chair to go up and down the mountain.Cen Zhu enthusiastically helped her into the sedan chair, fearing that she would be lonely and bored on the road, so he walked by the side of the sedan chair curtain to chat with her for a while, telling some things about the city in the capital, which made the old lady laugh constantly.One of the more reassuring things about her is that once she makes up her mind to do something, she will do it wholeheartedly, won't she lose her face halfway.Everyone talked and laughed along the way, really like a family traveling in mountains and rivers.

Before he knew it, he was halfway up the mountain, and there was still a long way to go down the mountain. The bearers stopped to rest, and Cen Zhu and Yingrou helped the old lady to rest in the gazebo by the roadside.

"There seems to be a little less people here today!" Cen Zhu glanced down the mountain, the mountain path was already full of people going up the mountain to worship the Buddha at this time.It is very rare that there are only two or three people scattered on this road today.

Yingrou was also surprised, "Yes, there are really few people coming to burn incense in the temple today?"

The old lady suddenly laughed and said, "Most? It's probably because Abbot Qinglian was invited by Master Jueming to give lectures at Wan'an Temple in the south of the city, and all the disciples probably went there."

Abbot Qinglian is a well-known eminent monk in Qixia Temple, with profound Buddhism and many believers.Usually, there are very few people who go out to give lectures, so every time they go out to give lectures, it will cause a sensation in the whole city.

"So that's the case. No wonder this Qixia Mountain is a lot cleaner?" Cen Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "Grandma went down to play because Abbot Qinglian left and couldn't hear the scriptures, so she was lonely and bored!"

When the old lady heard her joke, her serious face was wrinkled into a smile, "You clever-tongued little monkey, you know how to choreograph me, a blind old woman!"

"How dare I!" Cen Zhu laughed.Now the Jingzhe is over and the weather is getting warmer.I haven't felt it yet on the mountain, but I'm already sweating all the way down the mountain.Cen Zhu slapped her neck with the back of her hand, and saw a salesman coming up the mountain road, walking up the stone steps step by step with a heavy shoulder pole dangling at both ends. There were several bamboo fans inserted into the pole basket, she quickly stood up and walked. Go over and call him, "Brother, stay a while, I'll buy two fans."

The salesman was a middle-aged man with a strong body. Seeing him coming, he gently placed the basket on the stone slab for him to choose.After paying the money, Cen Zhu picked out the one he liked first, and fanned it against his neck. The cool breeze came, and it was really refreshing.He also called Yingrou to let her come over to pick one too.Yingrou didn't know much about it, so she couldn't figure out which one to choose. Cen Zhu picked out a round fan painted by Jin Chan for her, "This one, it's a good pair with my folding fan." The salesman accepted it. After paying the money, his eyes flicked around on them, and without saying anything, he picked up the pole and walked up the mountain again.

This mountain road was originally very spacious, and could accommodate three small sedan chairs carried side by side.But for the convenience of the old lady getting off the sedan chair, the bearers placed the sedan chair horizontally, which took up half of the mountain road.Because there are few mountain roads? Someone came, so there was no adjustment.Seeing that the salesman was about to pass, the bearers stood up naturally, trying to adjust the position of the sedan chair.Unexpectedly, when the car bar turned its head, it hooked the pole instead.The salesman was almost taken down, and in a hurry, the pole fell to the ground with a "wow", and a bearer beside him hurriedly helped him up, "Are you all right, brother?" He stretched out his hand to help him lift the pole , the salesman didn't even say no, stabilized his figure, changed his shoulder, and picked up the burden again, holding the leash behind his hand to prevent the rear basket from swinging, and said: "Thank you very much." Continued Went up the hill.

Cen Zhu and Yingrou looked at each other, then returned to the pavilion shaking the folding fan, "Do you think the voice in the basket is a bit strange?"

Sakura nodded.

"What do you think it looks like?"

Yingrou: "It looks like a dish. What do you think?"

"If it's really a dish, why don't you lift the basket to see if he dropped it like this? It must not be a dish."

"What would that be?"

Cen Zhu fanned his back with his fan, and said, "I hope I'm thinking too much!" Yingrou was thoughtful.

They rested in the pavilion for a while, and were about to go on the road.The evil wind rose again, brushing over the treetops in the mountains and forests, making a rustling sound.The originally cloudless sky suddenly darkened.Cen Zhu covered his face with his sleeves, and looked up at the sky helplessly, "Isn't it? It's going to rain again? Don't play around like this!"

Ying Judao: "I don't think it's like this time, it seems that it's really going to rain. Otherwise, let's go back to the mountain and come back tomorrow."

Going back is always a disappointment. Cen Zhu saw that she seemed a little disappointed, and thought for a while, "It's windy now, and it's not safe to go back to the mountain to sit in a sedan chair. Let's wait a little longer in the pavilion. If it's still the same as before, what can I do?" If the wind does not rain, we will continue to descend the mountain. If it rains, we will go back to the temple before the rain becomes heavy. I reckon that if it does rain, the rain will last for a while? How many days." Everyone agreed, and Cen Zhuo said to the old lady again: "Grandma, it's windy now, you should take shelter in the sedan chair first, close the curtains, and let's wait for the wind to stop before going down the mountain."

The old lady nodded hurriedly, "That's fine." At her age, she was most afraid of causing trouble to young people, but now that Cen Zhu was thoughtful, she accepted it with relief.It's just that when he got into the sedan chair, he suddenly muttered: "It's really impossible without Abbot Qinglian sitting on this mountain." Yingrou was puzzled, but Cen Zhu laughed, and thought to herself that the old lady probably thought of this terrible weather. He regarded it as a demon, and then regarded Abbot Qinglian as the great god of suppressing demons.If there are monsters in the mountains, it's a good time to pick.

The evil wind blew for half an hour before it finally stopped. The wind was really strong for a while, so Cen Zhu and Ying Rou sat side by side on the side of the sedan chair to shelter from the wind. When the wind stopped, both of them were in a panic.Seeing that there were still leaves on her hair, Ying Rou couldn't help but help her pick them off.Cen Zhu pounced on him, regretting, "I should have prepared a cloak."

Looking up at Shi Ai, the hair bands were blown off, and the hair swelled around the face like a stone lion with fried fur.She couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh and fell to the ground.Shi Ai was extremely angry, and took a hard look at her with deep eye sockets.

Cen Zhu laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, "I said Miss Shi Ai, why don't you hide for a while! I knew you were still standing there, so I dragged you here together."

Shi Ai didn't want to talk to her, Tsing Yiwei's rule is to protect the safety of the owner at all times, anyone can hide, but she can't hide.Yingrou seemed to be quite helpless for her devotion to duty, took out her handkerchief and made a hair rope for her, and tied her hair up briefly.

"Tin-plated Li Yaoni!" Shi Ai suddenly said something blue.Cen Zhu thought he was scolding her, and his expression was suspicious and weird.This guy is too naive, he bullies her because he doesn't know Lan Que well.

But Yingrou's face changed in an instant, and she also muttered a sentence of Lan Que, which was relatively simple. Cen Zhu heard it clearly, and she asked, "Where is it?" Shi Ai pointed to the direction, and the two looked into the forest together went and saw nothing.

"Princess, for your safety, Shi Ai must send you back to the temple immediately." Shi Ai continued to emphasize in Lan Que language.

Ying Rou hesitated: "Yes? No? Is someone hunting here?"

Shi Ai shook his head, "No? It's human blood, very strong? There's more than one person."

"What's wrong?" Cen Zhu saw the two of them looking? Mysterious? Secretly, he didn't know what they were talking about.

Ying Rou had no choice but to tell her the cause and effect: "Shi Ai's sense of smell is different from ordinary people, she just told me: there is blood in the forest."

"Flesh?" Cen Zhu was startled, and looked in that direction, but saw nothing.

"It was very windy just now, and it may be far away."

Cen Zhu thought about it for a while, and said decisively: "Qixia Mountain is a sacred place for Buddhism, no one would go hunting on it. Shi Ai is right, for the sake of safety, we must leave here immediately, but? Not going back to the temple, but going down the mountain."

Yingrou: "Are you afraid of meeting that salesman?"

Cen Zhu nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, his basket is probably filled with weapons. If it is really a weapon, it means that they have a lot of people? There is a high chance of setting up an ambush. The mountain is very dangerous now."

"It may not be safe to go down the mountain. Since they can set up an ambush on the mountain, they can also set up an ambush down the mountain." Shi Ai said.

"That's right, but if they set up an ambush in advance, then our going down the mountain is already a fact under their control. If we return rashly, maybe it will arouse suspicion. If we go down the mountain easily, it seems that nothing happened. It didn't happen, it would be? Safer. They weren't targeting us after all."

"Then who are they targeting? Who?"

"I don't know either. It's just a hunch that things won't? It's that simple."

The author has something to say:
