The pier ferry in the early morning looks like a shark with its mouth wide open.

A boat was parked on the shore, and a few workers were preparing to sail, and they all seemed to be out of spirits.

In the distance, an ox cart pulling goods slowly approached the pier, and then a man in a black cloak rushed over and helped an old man on the ox cart down. The two looked at each other, hugged their heads and cried together. group.

The cloak slipped off, it was Ruan Xiaodie.

"Daddy! I knew you were still alive when I saw those strings. God knows, we've made it through!"

The old man was also weeping, turned around and knelt down to a figure on the bullock cart: "Thank you, benefactor! Living Bodhisattva! The old man will be your cow or horse even after he dies in the underworld!"

The man in the car had no expression on his face, instead he was a little cold and said, "Hurry up and get on the boat, we won't be able to leave any later."

Ruan Xiaodie was a little worried: "Grandfather, although you told me to buy a train ticket as a mist bomb, but this... can I really leave Hezhou City safely?"

The man in the car said again: "The captain's opium has been destroyed by the commander. There is no need to investigate this ship again. No one will suspect an empty ship. After you get on the ship, find a chance to get off the ship and don't attract attention." .Go to the cities in the northwest, which are not within the scope of the commander's authority."

"Yeah. But..." Ruan Xiaodie was a little hesitant, her pretty eyebrows twisted together, "Grandfather, are you really okay? If something happened to Dongchuang and we left, what can you do..."

"This is not something you need to worry about," the man breathed out across his hands, "As long as you don't show up in Hezhou City again, nothing will happen to you. Also, you don't need to call me benefactor, I have me for helping you." the goal of."

Ruan Xiaodie glanced at the man gratefully, she knew that these words were to reassure her not to feel guilty or uneasy.She was soft-spoken and powerless, so she could only kneel down and kowtow heavily, extremely firm.

"Xiao Die will definitely do what En Gong told me!"

Supporting her father, Ruan Xiaodie left in a hurry.

Since then, Hezhou City has lost a graceful singing voice and a pair of dexterous hands.

---------

Hezhou City hasn't changed much in the past few days. Wang Ronghuo's death is still a mess, but the murderer can't be caught, and the higher-ups keep urging him. Wang Ronghuo's body can't be buried, and it's frozen in the freezer.

Originally, when this story spread, the most surprised and astonished person was the military commander. The military commander was extremely suspicious of Duan Yelin's and Wang Ronghuo's personal grievances.

Duan Yelin explained a few words at first, but later he didn't bother to answer, and simply asked Yuan Ye to explain the ins and outs to his father.

Strange to say, ever since Yuan Ye handed in some suspicious evidence in the Dudu's case, Juntong stopped urging Duan Yelin to catch the murderer, and instead rushed to let him close the case.

And when they asked the military command to return the evidence for filing, they found that the gold hairpin was missing from the mailed items.

This story became more and more unbelievable.

While Duan Yelin was tossing back and forth between Jun Tong and Xu Hang, he went to Faxi Temple to offer incense leisurely.

Faxi Temple is actually the temple with the least incense in Hezhou City. It is located on the mountainside, and the mountain road is difficult to walk.However, Xu Hang feels that the scenery here is the best, and the Zen master who recites the scriptures is the most knowledgeable, unlike those laymen at the foot of the mountain who only care about making incense and money.

Before he could enter the door, the little novice who was sweeping the floor put his palms together and said, "Blesser Xu, come here and be safe."

He hasn't been here for three months. Before, he would come here once a month, light the lantern, chant the Great Compassion Mantra, and meditate for half a day.

"Is Master Changling here? I want to ask him to recite scriptures for me today."

"It's unfortunate for the benefactor today, the female benefactor has already been ordered." The little novice pointed to a woman under a tree in the distance.

Xu Hang looked over in a blink of an eye, and there was a woman in black standing under a bodhi tree ten meters away from the gate of the temple.

She is tall, and her body is tightly wrapped, and her graceful figure can be seen.On her head was a large foreign-style top hat, half of her face was covered, and the black veil hanging from the top hat could not cover her scarlet lip makeup.

She was smoking there.

It's rare for a woman to smoke, especially one who smokes so beautifully.Her neck was held high, and the word elegant was written on the smoke rings she exhaled. From her slightly raised chin, it could be seen that she was an arrogant woman.Her arrogance is not the noble and elegant kind of black swan, but the kind of opium, which is very aggressive.

Finally she finished smoking, twisted the cigarette butt on the tree trunk, threw it on the ground, stepped on her high-heeled leather shoes, and stepped into the soil.Then he walked to the side of the flowing water spring, drew water with a ladle, rinsed his mouth, and then walked into the temple.

After lighting the ever-burning lamp, Xu Hang passed by the chanting room and glanced at it, and saw the woman wiped off her red lips at some point, took off her top hat, and sat in front of Master Changling, listening to him chanting.Her eyes, her sincere eyes, are as touching as a disciple of the Buddhist family seeing the Tathagata who saves all living beings.

This well-behaved and docile appearance is completely different from just now.

What an interesting and strange woman.

Xu Hang has always been not very interested in strangers, but for some reason, this woman always gives him a feeling, as if he has seen this face somewhere, but he just can't remember it.

Xu Hang waited until the sun was rising before he could talk to Master Changling.

Master Changling was originally an abandoned baby, who was picked up and adopted by the previous abbot. He is only 26 years old now, but his knowledge of Buddhism is quite astonishing.He has a quiet personality, and Xu Hang comes frequently, so the two are old acquaintances.

"Benefactor Xu," Changling brewed a pot of tea for him, "The last time the temple was repaired, it really cost you money."

Xu Hang resigned: "I have asked you to chant scriptures for so many years, and I am obliged to you. Money is nothing but external possessions."

"Today, it seems that you still have sorrow between your brows. Haven't you been freed from your troubles?" Changling's heart is like a mirror. Although he doesn't know why Xu Hang is trapped, he knows that Xu Hang's heart is like a ravine. Bottom.

In the distance, the rustling sound of the sweeping monks sweeping the temple could be heard. Xu Hang smelled the fragrance of tea and felt that this place was very comfortable.However, this kind of comfort is only a short-lived escape. He knew that he had no way to save himself, so he asked: "Buddhas always say, to repay grievances with virtue, and to be a man should be forgiven. But I can't do it. I'm not reconciled. There are still many things, master, do you think I am right or wrong?"

Changling clasped his hands together and replied, "Do you know the meaning of 'contentment'?"

"Master, do you want me to stop when enough is enough?"

"No," Changling stretched out his finger, dipped it in the tea, and wrote these two words on the table, "know, know, foot, foot. You must always know where your feet stand, Don't be too high-minded, and don't belittle yourself, always know where the next step is, and that's enough."

Xu Hang stared at the two words on the table until they evaporated and disappeared.

He never had a higher heart than the sky, and never underestimated himself, but he never knew where his feet stood.

It turned out to be the case.
