"But miss, I'm afraid it's not good to leave you here alone." Lan Zhou looked worried.

"I used to come to this Guangyang Temple every three days, and I can say that I am as familiar as the backyard of my house. I will wait for you here, and nothing will happen. Good Lanzhou, your lady, I am so thirsty died."

Xu thought that the number of times I came to Guangyang Temple alone was indeed not small, but Lan Zhou finally couldn't get over my softness, so he got up and left in a hurry.

The reputation of Guangyang Temple has always been inseparable from the Marriage Tree, but when it comes to praying for blessings and safety for rich family members, Guangyang Temple is not the first choice.Because of this, Hong Fu and Lan Zhou, who did not follow me before, have never been to this Guangyang Temple.

While calculating the time it would take for Hongfu and Lanzhou to go, I quickly escaped from the back door of Guangyang Temple.

The back door of Guangyang Temple is a small path used by young monks to water the garden. Not many people know about it, and even fewer passers-by.I went down the mountain along this path to the pawnshop, where I pawned all my valuable jewellery, and exchanged enough banknotes for money.

Destination, Toyosu.

Father, mother, my daughter is sorry for you.

But the daughter had to go to her, and the daughter saved her.

Chapter 17 Chapter 17

Along the way, wherever I went, I asked around for news about the exile team.On the desolate and remote exile road where I was looking for Ah Li, at the most miserable time, I rode a bullock cart that creaked and sounded as if it would fall apart in a second, drank a stream full of mud and sand, and ate in the woods. The unknown wild fruit slept in a ruined temple with air leaks from all sides.But as long as I have the opportunity to live in an inn, I always tidy myself up and looking forward to seeing her in the next second.

On the way, I often stared at the changing scenery on the road in a daze, imagining what it would be like when Ah Li passed by.But thinking of the end, it is inevitable to imagine the blood-stained wrists rubbed in the wooden shackles, or the lifeless eyes when tripped by the branches, and then feel more heartache and anxiety.

This evening, I arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain.Lianhua Mountain is located in a remote place, so it is named after the Lotus Temple in the mountain.The only farm family at the foot of the mountain is headed by a barefoot doctor who earns his living by gathering herbs in the mountains and treating residents in villages ten miles away.Seeing that the weather is really not suitable for traveling any longer, I am seeking accommodation at the farmhouse.

It was a cold night in the mountains, and the hostess, Aunt Meng, boiled a small bowl of ginger soup for me to drive away the cold.I thanked Aunt Meng, took a sip of the hot ginger soup with both hands.Sitting next to me, Aunt Meng was mending clothes by the oil lamp, thinking that she would put away the bowl after I finished drinking.

"Aunt Meng, may I ask if you have seen a first-class deportation team pass by here recently?" I have formed a habit of asking for news about Ah Li all the time.

"Yes!" Aunt Meng raised her head when she heard the words, with a look of resentment on her face. "It was more than a month ago. Two officials were pushing a young man with an eye disease to pass by the foot of Lianhua Mountain. It rained heavily at night, and the three of them stayed at my house. The wound of the young man was soaked by the rain, and the wound deteriorated and festered. He has a high fever, and Lao Meng secretly gave him medicine in the middle of the night. Hey... a pretty and handsome child is tortured like that, and it hurts me to see it."

"Then where did they go when they left?" I felt distressed, and my tone became more urgent.

"Hey... Those two officers and soldiers are simply not human..." Aunt Meng squeezed the needle tightly in her hand, and recalled seriously: "The wounds on the little prisoner's body have deteriorated badly, and it rained heavily again. , I had a high fever since that night, and my condition got worse day by day. I'm afraid I won't be able to live for a few days. It rained for three days in a row. On the fourth morning, the two of them packed their bags and prepared to leave. , but Lao Meng and I didn’t see the little prisoner, so we stopped the two of them and asked, guess what they said? They couldn’t survive anyway, so they were thrown into the woods at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night, so we should go back early to pay errands! You said this Is it something that humans can do!"

"Lao Mengsan and I rushed to the woods to look for someone before we had time to fight. After a night of heavy rain, we searched all around and found a place with faint blood and rags, but we didn't see anyone. Later In the past few days, Lao Meng and I have searched several times, but we haven’t found anyone. There are also many wild beasts in this mountain, I’m afraid it’s... Hey girl, don’t cry!” I.

Did I cry?

I reached out and wiped my cheek, which was full of tears.

"I'm fine, Aunt Meng." I forced a smile on my numb face, but from Aunt Meng's more worried eyes, I could see that her smile was not very pretty.

"Does the Lotus Nunnery on the Lotus Mountain accept nuns?"

"It's accepted...but girl..." Aunt Meng seemed eager to persuade me, but she couldn't find the right words.

"It's okay, Aunt Meng." The firmness in my eyes eventually made Aunt Meng helpless and silent.

"I'm going to be here with her."

Chapter 18 Chapter 18

12.

I didn't sleep all night, and I went up the mountain with my packed luggage at dawn. Aunt Meng wanted to see me off, but I declined.

I stepped slowly on the path up the mountain, every step was gentle and solemn, as if I was stepping on her heart.

you are here.I thought to myself.

you are here.I can't see you, so every eye I see here is you.

My eyes, red and swollen like walnuts, started to cry again, which hurt a little, so I didn't raise my hand to wipe it.On this deserted mountain road, I finally couldn't help the choking in my throat and burst into tears.

With tears in my eyes, I went all the way to the gate of the nunnery, and explained my purpose of coming to the little nun who guarded the nunnery.The little nun looked at me in surprise and curiosity, and led me to a large hall, where she told me to wait, and then left to find the abbot.

During this waiting time, I tidied up my somewhat messy bun, rubbed my eyes that were still wet, and wanted to put on a look of peace of mind: I heard that monks pay attention to the purity of the six roots, and see through the world of mortals and the like.However, such whitewashing is really better than nothing for me who has almost collapsed emotionally.

The little nun from before led a benevolent middle-aged nun to the hall. I knew that this was the abbot of the Lotus Nunnery. I tried my best to maintain a calm appearance and blessed her.

"Poverty nun Huijing is the abbot of this lotus nunnery. Donors don't need to be polite." Master Huijing smiled at me with a kind face, with the unique compassion of Buddhists.

"The benefactor is so sad, it must be something bad happened. The benefactor doesn't need to be too sad. The so-called prosperity is a cycle of cause and effect. When you are at the bottom, there is often vitality everywhere."

"The believer girl wanders all over the world, has no family, at the foot of the Lotus Mountain, and loses her care. She only wishes to escape into Buddhism to find life."

"Benefactor, your six faculties have not been fully exhausted, and the worldly relationship has not yet been resolved. The poor nun cannot shave you."

The fate of the world is not over... I kept repeating this sentence in my heart, and I only felt sad and ridiculous.Will I have any other fate?In the unknown future, let go of Ah Li, forget about Ah Li, and have an unfinished fate with someone else?If I interpret it this way, I even look down on my future self.

"The believer is willing to abandon the unresolved mortal relationship and be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng."

"I will introduce someone for the benefactor, the benefactor will wait for a while." The mistress still had that detached expression, whispered a few words to the little nun beside her, and the little nun went out.

I gradually calmed down in the sound of the teacher's wooden fish, but my head was empty and I didn't know what I was thinking.Not long after, the little nun came back. She carefully supported a layman with hair and stepped over the steps of the temple gate.

I entered a state where I couldn't think even more, but my chest was throbbing more violently.

"Benefactor, someone is here. After you meet her, if you still insist on becoming a monk, I will ask her to shave your hair for you."

I watched her getting closer and closer, and looked at the face that appeared in my mind every night, and finally couldn't help rushing over and hugging her.

"I found you, Li."
