Lose the lights and spend another night

The days in Jingyu Nunnery were very quiet. After reading Buddhist scriptures with the abbot silently in my heart every day, I went to the wasteland in the back mountain alone to eliminate insects and water them.

Day by day passed, I counted the days agreed with Ying Sheng, the closer I got to that day, the more inexplicably uneasy I felt.

Will everything go well?

What is Yingsheng busy these days?

"Wangchen, master told me to go to the city to buy rice, will you go with me?"

Finally, I have waited for this opportunity, I can finally go for a walk around the city with my senior sister, and inquire about some news about Shen's residence.

I nodded, put down the small hoe in my hand, and pushed the small cart with my senior sister, and left Jingyu Nunnery.

The moment I stepped into Lin'an City, I couldn't help but feel a little stunned.Everything here is both strange and familiar. Every time I look at it, it can remind me of Yingsheng.

Lin'an Market is not far from Shen's residence, just two long streets away.

The closer I get to the market, the more excited I feel. I'm closer to Ying Sheng, if I can meet her by chance, how great would it be?I dream like idiots, hoping to pass by Yingsheng, even if I just take a look at it.But I know very clearly that Ying Sheng is the magistrate's daughter, how could he show his face to buy things in the street market on weekdays?

I shook my head and smiled self-deprecatingly, the senior sister patted my shoulder, "Wangchen, wait for me here for a while, I'll go over there to buy some needles and thread first, the clothes of several junior sisters are torn, I have to mend them at night .”

I smile and nod.

Senior Sister Shumei chuckled, "I'll be back soon, don't run around."

I nodded again.

The senior sister breathed a sigh of relief, I am more obedient in the nunnery on weekdays, so the senior sister is more relieved of me.After putting down the cart with me, she walked to the old woman selling needlework by the side of the road.

I quietly twisted the prayer beads around my neck, and sat on the small cart waiting for my senior sister to come back. I just wanted to calm my heart and stop thinking about those silly thoughts I encountered by chance.

"Be ahead! Catch him! Don't let him get away!"

Suddenly, there was commotion in the market.

I saw a man with dirty and gray hair frantically shoving passers-by in the market left and right, and ran forward in fear. Behind him, two men dressed as policemen were chasing viciously.

That must be a gangster, right?

I subconsciously made a conclusion, but I didn't want the man to suddenly lose his feet and fall in front of me.I stood up in shock and shrank back. The man looked up at me, and his eyes were locked on my face.

Surprised, yes, not just surprised.

He is so, so am I.

This man is none other than the father of Young Biao, Bai Zisheng!

The Bai family silk and satin village used to be the richest man in Lin'an, even if they moved away, they shouldn't have fallen like this in just a few years?

"Huanxi..." He got up in a panic and grabbed my hand, stuffed something into my palm, and said in a trembling voice, "I can't survive...but I'm not willing...please... ah!"

A shining simple knife pierced his chest suddenly, and Bai Zisheng let out a miserable cry, then knelt down.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound, so I could only clasp my hands together, hide the things in my palms tightly, and silently recite Buddhist scriptures beside me.

"court death!"

Pu Dao was pulled out from Bai Zisheng's chest, and Bai Zisheng fell down at my feet covered in blood.

One of the yamen servants raised his voice and said: "This man is a Jiangyang thief. He might hurt all the fathers and fellow villagers. I only have to kill him first. Please don't be afraid."

"I see……"

"Thank you, sir."

"Yeah, this kind of bad guy dies well!"

The cold eyes of another yamen servant suddenly fell on me, and he suddenly asked: "Little nun, what did he tell you just now?"

I looked at him in horror, shook my head violently, and could only make a "babbling" sound.

"A mute?" The yamen servant couldn't believe me.

"Junior Sister Wangchen is just dumb." The senior sister hurried forward and explained to me, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Lord Shen, the magistrate. Before Wangchen became a monk, he was Lord Shen's righteous sister."

"Miss Huanxi?" A familiar voice rang out.

I followed the sound and looked over. If it's not Cao Feng, who is it?

Cao Feng looked at me with distressed eyes. It must have been my nun's attire that hurt his heart. He sighed softly, walked over, and asked softly, "Are you scared?" take my hand.

I quickly shrank back and lowered my head heavily.

The senior sister hurriedly said: "Young master, don't be rude, we are all monks."

Cao Feng's face darkened, "A monk..." He took another deep look at me, then suddenly turned around and cursed at the two yamen servants behind him, "I told you to watch this big thief carefully, how could you let him run away? ?!"

"It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty..." The two yamen servants quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistake.

Cao Feng said in a deep voice, "Why don't you clean up this place soon?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Just as the two yamen servants lowered their heads to clean up the corpses, Cao Feng looked at me again, "Your name is Wangchen now?"

I nodded.

"Forget about the past..." Cao Feng said thoughtfully, "At least, you have nothing to do with the Shen family." After speaking, he asked again, "Do you still know this person?" Bai Zisheng's body on the ground.

Now that his face is covered in blood, how can he still look like he did back then?

I looked down again in horror, then retracted again, and shook my head again.

Cao Feng said, "Bai Zisheng, the head of the Bai family's silk and satin village, don't you remember?"

I looked at him in astonishment.

Cao Feng explained: "This man's old age and death of his son were greatly stimulated, and he moved away with his family in order to avenge Mrs. Shen's family. In recent years, he has colluded with robbers and intends to wash Shen's house with blood. I saw it through first and reported it to the court. , Asked soldiers to destroy the thief's nest, and took them all down one by one. I didn't expect him to escape halfway, and chased him all the way here, so he had to kill him on the spot."

After so many years, how could Bai Zisheng still have such evil intentions?

I felt very embarrassed, but the thing in my palm made me hesitate, should I give this thing to Cao Feng?

Seeing the seriousness on my face, Cao Feng asked suddenly: "But where did he hurt you?"

"Wang Chen, it's getting late, let's buy things quickly, and go back early." The senior sister always felt that Cao Feng caring about me so grandly would make me lose my reputation and make people feel like a disciple of Jingyu Temple. It's really not good to have such a close bond with the imperial court official.

I nodded, clasped my palms together and bowed heavily to Cao Feng, then followed my senior sister and pushed the small cart away gradually.

I should be glad that Cao Feng did not follow.I also didn't dare to look back at Cao Feng, I also know that I have become a nun, and I don't want to get in trouble with anyone except Ying Sheng.

After returning to the Jingyu Nunnery, I quietly put away the thing, and after helping my senior sister put away all the things, I came to the wasteland in the back mountain alone.There is still some farm work to be done today, and it would be good for me to finish it sooner before night falls.

At sunset, the setting sun shone goldenly over my vegetable garden.

I straightened up and looked at these vegetable leaves, feeling at ease.This is my first transaction with Yingsheng, and I hope to get a better harvest.

"Huanxi—"

Is it Yingsheng? !

Suddenly hearing the sound of yingsheng in the field, I felt a little unreal.

"Huanxi, what's wrong with you?"

When the real touch appeared on my shoulder, I turned around with a smile—the setting sun shone on Yingsheng's smiling face, before I could hold her hand, she stretched out her hand to hold mine.

"I heard about the murder that happened in the street market today. I was really afraid that something might happen to you, so I came here to see you. Are you scared?" Ying Sheng looked up and down at me worriedly, his eyes filled with worry.

I looked at her suspiciously, wondering how could she know what happened to me today?

Seeing that I was fine, Yingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, she continued: "Master Cao came to the house today, after all, he killed a gangster on the streets of Lin'an, so he should tell dad about it."

I turned over her palm and wrote slowly——did he say who the big thief was?

Yingsheng nodded, and said solemnly: "I didn't expect it to be uncle... let alone he has the intention of harming us..."

The world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

There are some things we just can't figure out.

Ying Sheng let out a long sigh, and continued: "But it's good that you're fine."

I nodded with a smile, looked at her with nostalgia, and suddenly felt lucky that I met such a terrible murder in the afternoon, and this was the only way to get to meet Yingsheng.

Ying Sheng blushed suddenly, "You... what are you looking at?"

I smiled, lowered my head and wrote in her palm—the so-called Yiren.

Ying Sheng's smile grew stronger, she took my hand and looked at the vegetables I planted, and said with a smile: "Are these grown by my Huanxi?"

I nodded.

Yingsheng looked at these expectantly, "If it's cooked, remember to give me some to eat."

These are our entanglements...

I was a little hesitant, but Yingsheng raised her eyebrows and said: "Isn't it planted for me to eat?"

I shook my head hastily.

"Then... I want to eat this more..." She suddenly looked around with vague eyes, and after confirming that there was no one around, she suddenly kissed me on the lips.

Why don't I want to eat this?

My heart sank, but I was afraid of being seen by others, so I froze in place like a deer.

When Yingsheng reluctantly let go of my lips and tongue, my cheeks were already flushed, and I lowered my head in embarrassment.

Yingsheng happily held my hand, and said softly: "I hope my tranquilizing pill will be useful, Huanxi, you won't have nightmares at night."

How can it be useless?

I stretched out my hand to stroke her hair on the sideburns, and gently stroked her cheek. I was so nostalgic, and I just wanted to keep this moment of reunion.

Yingsheng covered my hand and said with a smile: "Huanxi, if you continue like this, I really can't bear to leave..."

Why am I willing to let you go?

Yingsheng took a deep breath and stared at me fixedly, "I can't stay outside for too long, I'm relieved to see that you're okay, Huanxi, take good care of yourself, can you hear me?"

I nodded heavily, and before I could write out my instructions, Yingsheng scratched the tip of my nose and continued to smile: "I will take good care of myself, don't worry."

I nodded again, suddenly thinking of the thing that Bai Zisheng handed me today.

Yingsheng saw that my expression changed a bit, she asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

I took out that thing from my sleeve, it was a crumpled little ball of paper, and I handed it to Yingsheng.

Ying Sheng accepted it in confusion.

I took advantage of the situation and wrote slowly on the palm of her other hand——It was given to me by my uncle today.
