"stop."

Yun Qingyue stopped helplessly, looked at Li Chen and said, "My lord abbot, I walked in through the main entrance, so what's the matter?"

Li Chen snorted: "Who knows what kind of bad water your kid spends all day long... come to look for senior brother?"

"Yeah." It was rare for Yun Qingyue not to choke with Li Chen, the young monk next to her thought the sun was coming out from the west.

Li Chen glanced at him, and asked softly, "Because of longevity Gu?"

"How do you know... Hey!" Yun Qingyue said, "You don't know what's going on, right?!"

"Kid, keep your voice down, I didn't tell senior brother!" Li Chen whispered, "Is she really here?"

Yun Qingyue: "There should be no second person..."

Li Chen was silent, Yun Qingyue was about to ask something more, when Li Chen slapped him suddenly, startling the little monk next to her, Yun Qingyue didn't move her feet, raised her eyebrows, and took it with her right hand With Li Chen's palm, his figure didn't move at all.

Li Chen used the orthodox Kung Fu of the Buddhist school, which is known for its pure and strong internal force. He used half of his strength in this palm, but Yun Qingyue completely followed it. It was another "Vajra Finger" greeting, but Yun Qingyue didn't receive the move from the front, he bypassed the sharp edge of the Vajra Finger, and went to cut Lichen's wrist.

The two went through a few tricks, and Yun Qingyue said: "If you want to test me, these few tricks are enough, old man, what's going on? I'm angry."

"Senior brother insisted on teaching you Buddhist martial arts back then, and you really did a good job." Li Chen regained his momentum and said quietly, "Those things... I basically know everything, but... what you want to know, you should do it yourself Ask your brother."

The past is long, but it is a sinful fate...

Li Chen sighed.

……

Yun Qingyue found Quchen on the edge of a cliff in the back mountain of Xiuchan Temple.

The little monk in the temple said that Master Quchen would go to the cliff to study Buddhism for a while every day, and the time he went there recently was much longer than before, and Yun Qingyue didn’t even know that he still had such a a habit.

Yun Qingyue watched from afar that Qu Chen didn't even sit on a cushion, and sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, his shoulders trembled. Yun Qingyue was startled and thought the old guy was crying, so she ran over quickly: " old man..."

Qu Chen turned around holding a piece of watermelon, staring at Yun Qingyue in a daze: "What?"

Yun Qingyue: "..."

What was he thinking, how could the old man cry.

Quchen wiped his mouth, then took out a piece of watermelon from the big plate in front of him and handed it to Yun Qingyue: "You brat still knows to come to see me, the sun is so hot, come and eat a piece of watermelon, what are you doing sitting around. "

Quchen always only said "I" in front of Yun Qingyue.

Yun Qingyue sat down on the ground and took the watermelon: "You still sit under the sun knowing it's hot."

Qu Chen said: "No, I was sitting under the shade of a tree before, but the sun rose and the shade disappeared, so I was too lazy to move."

Yun Qingyue glanced at him: "Why don't you spit out the seeds when you eat watermelon?"

Qu Chen: "I learned from others before, and found it very convenient, because I'm lazy."

Yun Qingyue was really helpless towards this person.

He hesitated for a long time and didn't know where to start. Instead, Qu Chen looked at him, put down the watermelon and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, there is really a situation. The power of Master Yu Lin is not small. You actually know how to hesitate with me." , it’s nothing good for you to be like this since you were a child, say it! But if you make an old mistake and want to cheat on Hong Xing, I won’t protect you.”

Listen, what this 90-year-old man speaks is really human.

Yun Qingyue remembered what Yulin had said to him before Xiuchan Temple.

"Master Quchen of Xiuchan Temple is famous all over the world. As far as I know, there has been no one with higher Buddhist attainments than him in thousands of years...Qingyue, you should go and talk to him alone."

Yun Qingyue said: "I don't really know how to tell him..."

Before he heard it with his own ears, he didn't believe that Quchen and his father used a person who trusted him unconditionally when he was young, and then ran away.

Yu Lin said: "You know, because I can see that you treat him like a relative."

Yun Qingyue sighed, and just about to speak, she saw Qu Chen staring at him with a calm smile, with a look of seeing everything in her eyes.

"Qingyue, is she here?"

It is self-evident who this "she" is.

Before Yun Qingyue could answer, Quchen said softly: "I know, I don't want to see her, she will definitely look for me all over the world, but she would never have thought that after so many years, I would actually return to the place I used to hate the most, Zen meditation. Temple, but after wandering around for so many years, she still came, and finally saw that jade pendant... I am finally ready."

But he didn't know whether it was Xu Ning that Qingyan said was ready, or Quchen now.

Yun Qingyue said: "Old man..."

"That jade pendant was gifted to his best disciple decades ago by Master Huidu, the former abbot of Xiuchan Temple. Master Huidu... is both my master and my ancestor." Quchen said, "Later, I brought back this jade pendant and gave it to you."

Quchen stroked the head of the child he had grown up with, showing a rare gentleness, and sighed: "It's all fate."

"Do you know everything about Chang'an recently?"

Qu Chen nodded, and Yun Qingyue asked again: "Then why didn't you see her? Are you really afraid that she will take revenge on you?"

"I wish she would kill me sooner." Qu Chen looked at the sky and said, "It's a pity that I can't die so early..."

……

June 21st, the great heat, even at night, the town is still very hot.

At the foot of Yuelu Mountain, deafening applause came from the theater building in Wangcheng from time to time. The troupe in this theater building is well-known throughout Changsha, and the theater was overcrowded.

Seeing the little girl who was only eight or nine years old sitting alone on the steps of the back door of the theater, almost everyone went to listen to the opera, and those who couldn’t hear it all gathered in front of the theater, hoping to hear the music , she was the only one here, holding half a big watermelon with difficulty, as if she was waiting for something.

When the little girl was drowsy with the sound of frogs, the back door was suddenly opened. The little girl was startled, and a boy with a hostile face came out. When he saw the little girl, he frowned and waved her away: " Why is it you again?! Go, go, don’t sit and block the door, it’s fine if you haven’t been beaten up, dare to come!”

The little girl picked up the watermelon and said innocently: "Brother who sings the opera, I have watermelons. I'll give you the watermelons. Can you let me listen to the opera? I promise I won't get in the way or take up space!"

She raised her hand and swore like a little adult. The angry young man wanted to say that everything was over for today, but when he saw the watermelon, the young man said, "That's it... then give me the watermelon, I'll go in Let me ask you."

Little girl

His eyes lit up, and he believed his words: "Thank you brother!"

The boy hugged the watermelon and turned to close the door. When he returned to the backstage, he shouted at his brothers: "Come here, I have watermelon to eat today, come quickly!"

A group of teenagers rushed up to share the watermelon, and one of them said, "Senior brother, where did this watermelon come from? It's so sweet!"

"Just that day, that little girl who sneaked in and wanted to listen to the show without paying," the young man said triumphantly, pointing to the back door, "I found out today, this little girl is not only dumbfounded, but also stupid! I said the watermelon Let me let you in, she will believe it, and she is still waiting! Well, this watermelon is considered the ticket price of last time."

The young man's status in the theater troupe is quite high, and all the teachers and brothers compliment him, but no one thinks of the little girl who was deceived.

One person said to a young man who was standing beside him and didn't come up to share the watermelon: "Senior brother Xu Ning, come and eat watermelon! Why are you standing there?"

Xu Ning didn't move, and frowned, "Senior Brother, you are lying."

The young man froze for a moment, and said, "Cheating? Who did I lie to? This is the ticket money from last time!"

"You know who you lied to. The little girl didn't hear a word last time, so why did you pay for it?" Xu Ning said in a calm tone, with a bit of arrogance, he stepped forward to pick up the remaining half of the watermelon, "Don't eat it, I'll go back."

Xu Ning is the most important disciple of the troupe master, the troupe has no children, maybe the whole theater troupe will belong to him in the future, no one dares to confront him, just now when Xu Ning made a sound, the quiet room could hear a needle drop.

The face of the young man who had been held up all the time turned pale, and when Xu Ning went out, he let out a "bah" and said viciously: "You're an actor with no parents, why are you pretending to be noble with me!"

……

Xu Ning opened the door, and the little girl was still waiting there. When she saw him, she jumped up happily, pointed at him and shouted: "I know you, you are also a little brother who sings well, you are, you are..."

That was the first time Xu Ning looked at Qingyan, he sighed and said, "Xu Ning."

He has a bad temper and has a young and mature temperament. Even if he just said a name, it would sound thorny to strangers who don't know him.

"Brother Xu Ning!" The little girl shouted, "Can I go in now!"

"What are you going in for? Today's show is over long ago. You don't even know you were cheated. Why are you so stupid?" Xu Ning was full of disgust, and stuffed the remaining watermelon to the little girl, "Take the rest and go home. , as a lesson.”

The little girl said disappointedly: "Oh..."

Xu Ning originally thought that she should leave, but the little girl was just lost for a while, and then happily said to him: "Brother, is watermelon delicious? It must be delicious, because Dad is not willing to give it to me ..."

"..."

Why are you so stupid?

Xu Ning recalled that when the seniors and brothers were chatting, they said that the reason why this little girl sneaked in was not because the family had no money, but because her own father died, and her mother took her to remarry. Not on this little oil bottle.

Xu Ning managed to gather some patience, and said, "I didn't eat it, so you go home and steal the watermelon out, does your father know? Go back and get beaten!"

The little girl blinked her eyes wide, and quickly grabbed Xu Ning's sleeve: "That's right! It's not good to be discovered by father! Then brother, let's destroy the 'evidence' quickly, so that my father does not find out! Brother, look, this watermelon is so sweet! Sweet, I even used the well water at home to live!"

Xu Ning was already thirsty just after singing, and after listening to it like this, he became even thirstier, but he didn't know where the strength came from: "I won't eat!"

He is always like this, he can't control himself to say hurtful words at every turn, so the brothers actually don't like him, and he knows it too.

Just as he flung his sleeves back, he was caught.

"What are you doing again?!"

The little girl who was scolded smiled at him.

A few minutes later, the two of them sat on the steps and wiped out the remaining watermelons.

While gnawing on the watermelon, Xu Ning became even angrier.

The little girl was so fast that she ate her own in a short time. Xu Ning looked at the melon seeds she vomited and said, "Why don't you vomit the seeds?"

The little girl wiped her mouth: "I see that the uncle next door doesn't spit out the seeds, he said it tastes faster this way!"

Xu Ning: "Isn't this just lazy? It's fine, we've finished eating the watermelon, you go home! I want to talk about it after watching the show."

The little girl fell silent, twisting the corner of her clothes and staring at the ground, as if she wanted to make a hole in the ground.

Xu Ning understood after thinking about it, and said, "Why? I didn't think about it when I picked up the watermelon, but now I'm scared. I have no place to keep you here, so go back!"

"Then... brother, I'm leaving."

"Come on."

"I'm really leaving!"

Xu Ning stared, just about to call her, but found that he still didn't know her name: "What's your name?"

The little girl said: "Both father and mother call me Sanmei."

"Don't even have a famous name?!" Xu Ning was really helpless, so he had to say, "Sanmei, you want to talk about it after listening to the play, go home now, immediately!"

Isn't it dangerous for a little girl to stay outside at night?

"Well, then it's settled! Whoever repents is a puppy!" The third sister jumped up and grabbed his hand and shook it a few times. It was an agreement. She ran home and shouted to Xu Ning, " Goodbye brother!"

Xu Ning stood up, watching the figure of the third sister who was finally persuaded by him to disappear into the vast night.

He didn't know that watermelon was the sweetest one he had ever eaten in his life.

He didn't know what would happen tonight—every time Xu Ning thought about it in the future, if he could go back, it would be fine...as long as he can protect this silly girl, it doesn't matter if he is selfish, anything is fine, as long as he is not she……

But now Xu Ning doesn't know anything.

He doesn't know anything.

The temperature on his hands gradually dissipated, Xu Ning looked at his hands, laughed at himself, and went back to the room.

The theater troupe had no home to go back to, so they rested in the courtyard behind the theater building at night. Xu Ning was a disciple of the troupe master and had his own separate room.

He didn't know what happened, he went back to the house without eating, looked at the dark room and didn't even turn on the lights, didn't wash his face and change his clothes, just poured wine on the bed, "Maybe it's the problem of the watermelon he ate." He said Think, "It's making my stomach sick."

Thinking about it, Xu Ning covered his head with the quilt in annoyance, because he knew in his heart that he was just deceiving himself, thinking that he could ignore the jealousy in his heart.

Even if she is scolded and punished by her parents, it's great, she can still go home with her third sister, and her parents.

He is different from the orphans in the theater troupe who were born without parents. He obviously has parents and a family. He lied to everyone, telling them that his parents had passed away long ago, but he couldn't lie to himself.

His mother was buried under the loess, so what about his father?

Where is that person now... killing people?
