Throwing down the bear child of the Flower God[Comprehensive]

Chapter 33 ◇With a clear conscience

As soon as she heard Hua Ruling's words that day, Lingbi's eyes darkened and she passed out.

When she woke up, she was already lying on the couch, and Hua Manlou was rubbing her disabled right hand with a frown.

"A Bi is awake." Hua Manlou said with a faint smile.

Ling Bi sat up silently, suddenly felt dizzy in her head, and retched on her side.

Hua Manlou patted Lingbi's back without haste, and brought her a cup of light scented tea.

Ling Bi took a sip of scented tea, and suddenly asked, "Seventh brother, are there really gods in this world?"

"If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't." Hua Manlou reached out and stroked Lingbi's cheek.

Ling Bi stretched out her small hand, stuck it on Hua Manlou's big hand, and said with a bowed head, "Can Brother Seven accompany me somewhere?"

With a big hand, Hua Manlou said in a deep voice, "Okay."

It is said to be a place, but in fact, it almost ran through the whole city.For three full days, Hua Manlou visited all the local temples with Lingbi.

Taoism, Buddhism, and even various sects from foreign countries also went one by one.

Once he got to the place, Lingbi always knelt and kowtowed regardless, only saying the three words "I beg you" over and over in his mouth.Sometimes she shed tears, and sometimes she cried dry tears, but there was a hoarse cry in her voice.

Some foreign missionaries could not see their child crying or kneeling, so they tried to persuade her in blunt Chinese and explained to her the reason why she does not need to kneel.Lingbi didn't listen to the persuasion, but kowtowed fiercely.

For three whole days, Lingbi's forehead was bruised and purple, bleeding from knocking.

Huamanlou didn't stop her.

"If you kneel, Seventh Brother will kneel with you, and if you kowtow, Seventh Brother will kowtow with you."

This is the attitude of Huamanlou.

Three days later, Huamanlou accompanied Lingbi to bring back all the gods and sacred objects that could be brought from the local area, and set aside a room for Lingbi to use.

In the newly built quiet room, all kinds of god statues kowtowed and crookedly squeezed together.In the shrine stands Yuanshi Tianzun, Sakyamuni leaning against Amitabha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha on both sides, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva broke the jade bottle in his hand, and is lying in front of Allah.

Under a group of gods and Buddhas, Lingbi was kneeling on the futon with a cross hanging on her neck and tears on her eyelashes.After being stunned for a while, she suddenly kowtowed again, constantly chanting the names of the gods and Buddhas, occasionally uttering nondescript foreign words, or grabbing the Buddhist scriptures on the ground and stuttering to read a few sentences.

It was obviously a very funny scene, but anyone who saw it would feel sore in his heart.

"If I kowtow more, the gods in the sky will help me!"

Whenever Lingbi kowtowed and was about to faint, she would stop and say this to Huamanlou with her eyes shining with blood on her head.

At this time, Hua Manlou would always respond softly, and then stretch out her hand to comb her messy hair one by one.

In this way, in the middle of the night, Lingbi was exhausted physically and mentally, and passed out on the futon at once.Hua Manlou took out the wound medicine, and gently treated the wound on Lingbi's forehead, then silently picked her up and walked out.

When Hua ManLou put Ling Bi in place and walked out of the inner room, the entire family was there.

"How about my dear girl?" Although Hua Ruling was eager, she lowered her voice.Beside him, Mrs. Hua clutched a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes little by little.

Hua Manlou shook his head and sighed.

Mrs. Hua choked up and said: "How can my daughter's family kowtow like this, if it breaks the head, if it loses the face..."

The corners of Hua Manlou's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he said in frustration, "She just wants to do something for her brother, how can I have the heart to stop her?"

Mrs. Hua stopped talking.

At this time, the young master said coldly, "It's not an option if we go on like this, why don't we coax her with some good words first."

Before Hua Manlou could make a sound, Second Hua shook his head, and the third young master even said, "No, victory or defeat is unpredictable at this time. If we really lose, how can we explain it to her then?"

For a while, everyone was silent.

After a long while, Hua Ruling's lips twitched a few times, and said in a trembling voice: "If the matter really fails, it will be because father has harmed you, and when the time comes, you, you..."

Mrs. Hua said with tears in her eyes: "Listen well, if it is true in the future... then you will take advantage of the chaos and escape. Mother has already prepared properties for you in various places, and the crown prince has also prepared new identities for you."

The eldest young master's face was as frosty, "I will stay at home with you, and then let the third brother lead the rest of the people away. With me here, I can buy more time for them."

Mrs. Hua gritted her teeth and said, "You, you have to go too! Mother only wants you to live well!" Finally, she cried, "Mother knows you are filial, but you can't leave my good daughter-in-law like this..."

Seeing Mrs. Hua crying, Hua Ruling stretched out his hand to embrace her, and then took her hand and rubbed it carefully.

"She will stay naturally, and she decides this matter." The eldest young master's expression softened suddenly, "Husband and wife are one body, and they will never be separated wherever they go."

The third young master stepped forward to support Mrs. Hua, with a righteous face full of seriousness, "Husband and wife can't be separated. Could it be that the whole family can be separated when it comes to a critical moment? If you want to be loyal, do it together; if you want to be filial, it's easy for others." Everyone has a share, left and right is a family together, no matter whether you go to the top or the bottom, it's not just living!"

As he said that, the third young master raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if very proud, "Our family has been doing good deeds all our lives, I'm afraid everyone will be rewarded by then! If there is no way, we will be sent back here again, and the whole family will be land masters!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.Mrs. Hua wiped away her tears and gave the third young master a bad look, then stepped forward to pinch his mouth.

Hua Manlou stretched his brows, and said with a smile, "Parents and mothers are relieved, my son counts the affairs of the past dynasties in detail, and things will always turn around at the end." After finishing speaking, he turned sideways to Hua Ruling and his wife, and said firmly, " Until the last moment, we can't give up lightly. Regardless of life or death in the future, the Hua family has a clear conscience, so why would they frown!"

Huamanlou's words poured into everyone's heart like a warm current.For a time, a kind of pride was born in the hearts of every Hua family.

What about success or failure, life or death?Could it be that those court ladies and eunuchs who secretly fed the prince and princess, those little people who sacrificed their most precious lives without hesitation in order to protect the emperor's heir, and even didn't have time to leave their names in the end, didn't they have no selfish desires, no personal relationships? ?

Perhaps one day, the outcome of the matter is unbearable for the Hua family, but they do not regret it, not only because the prince and Lingbi are the descendants of benefactors, but also because the world has been dark for too long, and they don't want to live in a muddle-headed way. live.

They chose a righteous but most difficult path.Now that you have chosen, you have to grit your teeth and walk well.On this road, faith and courage will accompany them, and pain and suffering will always haunt them. No one can share them, and they cannot share them, until they give up everything that can be lost, have nothing, and have a clear conscience!

In the morning, when the sun rises.

The Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master stood on the porch, the two of them naturally stayed up all night.

The eldest young master looked at the sunrise from a distance, his brows and eyes were cold, and his lips were pursed in silence.

"What are you thinking, big brother?" The third young master asked him sideways.

The eldest young master said coldly: "I was thinking, why does God always keep his eyes open."

The third young master also turned his head to look at the scene, smiled for a while and said, "You are aloof, half-deaf and half-mute, what do you want him for!"

The eldest young master pursed his lips, and then slowly said: "Your sister-in-law said that if the family can get through this time, she will give birth to a child for me."

"A great happy event." The third young master grinned, and patted the eldest young master on the shoulder, "Brother, you have to take good care of it, there are not many opportunities to make sister-in-law let go."

The young master nodded, and suddenly coughed a few times, half embarrassed and half helpless: "But before that... she won't let me enter the room..."

The third young master coughed and his shoulders shook violently.He wiped the corners of his eyes, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law is mighty!"

The young master silently turned his face away.

While the two brothers were chatting and joking, Yueniang sneaked into Huafu quietly and brought new news about the prince.

As soon as Yueniang showed up, she took out the prince's token and revealed her identity.Although the Hua family had doubts about Yueniang's identity for a long time, they were a little surprised when they confirmed it now.

"How is the princess?"

After dispelling the doubts of the Hua family, Yueniang asked eagerly.

Mrs. Hua sighed: "Heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. Only the prince can be cured, and the good girl can be cured."

Yue Niang frowned, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, but suddenly she couldn't bear to say what the prince had entrusted to her.

Now the matter of abolishing the crown prince is a certainty. Even the only Qingliu among the eunuchs, who has been favored by the emperor for many years, is an upright eunuch Huai En, who has been favored by the emperor.

This time, the prince seems to have really reached a desperate situation.

"The decree of abolishing the crown prince... will come within ten days," Yueniang said with difficulty, trembling her fingertips, "The crown prince told you not to worry about him, it's better to leave early!"

Now, the prince knows that he has no way out. Although he is not afraid of life and death, he has arranged a good place for everyone around him.But what he didn't know was that the Hua family had already talked about it at this moment, and after hearing such words, there was no fluctuation in his heart.

"I will accompany the prince until the last moment." Hua Ruling said firmly, "If anything happens, we will do our best to protect the princess."

Yueniang choked up and bowed deeply to the Hua family.

When the news reached Lingbi's ears, she was kowtowing in the quiet room until she was in a daze.

As soon as Huamanlou opened its mouth, the crowd of gods and Buddhas fell apart in an instant.The head and tail of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva separated instantly, and the head carved from white jade rolled down to Huamanlou's feet.

Ling Bi pulled down the cross on her chest, tightened her fingertips, and pinched the cross into several pieces.Blood oozed from between the fingertips and dripped onto the sawdust.

"Liars, they are all liars!" Lingbi looked dazed and trembled all over, "These gods are all liars!"

Seemingly feeling puzzled, Ling Bi stepped forward and lifted the Bodhisattva's head, and slammed it on the ground.

The pieces of white jade were firmly inserted into Lingbi's palm, she clenched her hands tightly as if she didn't realize it, blood flowed from between her fingers, and fell into a piece of white jade pieces.

Hua Manlou suddenly started to move, he half-kneeled on the ground, forcefully opened Ling Bi's little hand, and carefully removed the fragments that had pierced her palm.

Lingbi hugged Hua Manlou, put her head on his shoulder, and cried heartbreakingly.

After that day, Lingbi was extremely silent.The blood in her eyes made everyone who saw her startled and distressed.

I want to be with my brother forever, she thought, wherever my brother goes, I will go there.

She secretly hid a dagger and carried it with her even when she fell asleep.She has made up her mind that if something happens to her brother, she will kill herself immediately to accompany him!

Huamanlou didn't know what Lingbi was thinking, but she didn't reveal it.These days, he always guards Lingbi all night long, just in case she won't think about it for a while, and she will do something stupid.After a few days like this, Lingbi's complexion was as usual, but Huamanlou's expression was haggard and dejected.

Now the matter of the crown prince has gradually spread around the world, everyone is talking about it in private, on the one hand they feel sorry for the crown prince, on the other hand they hate Concubine Wan Gui.

Because the prince has done a lot of good things for the people in the past few years when he participated in politics, the people are very convinced of him, and many people praised him for being a wise king in the future.

Now that Mingjun is about to be persecuted to death in the future, the ordinary people in the market have nothing to express except a few words of regret.

Perhaps, only when the fire burns on themselves, they see more than just a cottage and a few acres of fields.

When Mr. Zhou knew about this, he hadn't seen Lingbi for a long time.Although he didn't know Lingbi's identity, he did know the relationship between the Hua family and the prince.

The little prince who rescued him back then is actually so foolish today, no one knows what Mr. Zhou is thinking at this moment.

After a sleepless night, Mr. Zhou decided to go to Beijing to face the saint.

He didn't know how important the friendship from many years ago would be in the emperor's heart at this moment, but he knew that there were some things he had to do, and he had to admonish the emperor face to face, just like countless civil servants and generals were doing.

When Mr. Zhou left, Ling Bi was not given away. She quietly hid in the corner, watching Mr. Zhou bid farewell to everyone one by one, watching Hua Laoer weeping, and watching the old man with white hair with raised beard staring and waiting for a while. , after confirming that Lingbi would not appear, he lost his temper and got on the carriage with a whimper.

On the ten-mile long street, the spring breeze was smooth, and the falling flowers fluttered all over the sky, and then fell gently to the ground.The horse stepped on the flowers, and the wheels also crushed on the petals, wrapped in several layers of fragrance and galloping away.

It should have been a good day.

The author has something to say: Prince, after passing this last hurdle, the throne will be yours!

Lingbi is still just a child, so she can't help her brother at this time.It was this powerlessness that made her realize her weakness.
