Chapter 71

The second day was the Great Court Meeting, and the whale bell in the temple rang just after the fifth watch.Yifu got up from his sleep, opened his eyes blindfolded and wanted to take a look at the sky outside, but he saw a figure kneeling by the window first.

Yifu woke up immediately after dozing off, rubbed his eyes and called out to the shadow: "Xiaobai?"

Yao Bai raised his head from the picture album, and responded softly: "Yes."

Yifu didn't know if he didn't leave last night or came early this morning.On the way back from the back mountain yesterday evening, he ran into his senior brother who was looking for him. Yao Bai probably didn't want to meet his senior brother, so he disappeared when no one was looking.Maybe it's just hiding, maybe it's gone.The senior brother asked him to stay in his room until late at night for the affairs of the court meeting, and fell asleep as soon as he left.

There was no light in the room, and the dark blue color came in from the windows.Yifu fumbled over to light the oil lamp, the dim yellow light shone on Yaobai's face.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" The window was wide open, and as soon as he floated, he was wearing a thin linen, and the morning breeze was blowing a bit cool.He shivered, and went back to the bed to dress.

The dawn was fast, and Yifu was called away soon.Before leaving, he saw that Yaobai had flipped through the picture album many times, and went to the bottom of the bookshelf to find many books and brochures and gave them to him.

"When will you come back?" Yao Bai asked while standing by the threshold holding the album.

"Soon." Yifu said quietly, "I'll sneak back when I'm not busy. What do you want to eat, I'll bring it back to you later."

"Roast rabbit."

Yifu: "...there is only vegetarian food in the temple."

"Forget it." Yao Bai turned around and walked into the house, saying with disgust: "I don't like steamed buns and vegetables, so don't bother."

After Fu left, Yaobai sat in front of the window and read a book, of course he only looked at the pictures as usual.Sometimes there would be footsteps coming in from outside the courtyard, and Yao Bai didn't know if it was a flutter, so he would put down his book and go to the courtyard to read.

The Grand Court of the Stone Temple is very grand, and the sound of chanting from the front hall can be heard across several courtyard walls.The little monks who walked past the door were in a hurry and looked very busy.After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't find a chance and slipped back.

After a while, Yaobai wandered around the yard, only to find that the only room in the yard was facing the gate.There is a small door in the corner on the left side of the courtyard door, which leads to another courtyard.So right now, this yard is actually lived alone by Yifu.

There are low corridors built under the other three courtyard walls, and two of them are full of things. Yao Bai only knows the corn hanging on the wall, and the rest have either never seen it, or those who have seen it cannot be named.Yaobai studied everything in the past and concluded that these things are all edible.

The westernmost low porch is facing the water, nothing is put there, only an old small case with a few bulging coarse cloth bags randomly strewn on it, he has seen Yifu throw the contents of the bags into the pond.Yaobai poured some dry, earth-colored millet grains into the palm of his hand, and threw them into the water as soon as he floated. Immediately, golden, yellow and orange carp emerged from the bottom of the water, chasing after them with their mouths open.After eating, they wagged their tails and squeezed to the shore, swimming back and forth under Yao Bai's feet, refusing to disperse.

This is much more fun than fishing, Yao Bai fed one after another, and emptied three cloth bags in one go.After a while, Yaobai realized that something was wrong. A few small fish seemed to be unable to swim very well, as if something was dragging them under the water. , staring at a pair of swollen eyes motionless.

Yaobai stood silently for a while, very puzzled, wondering if it was fast asleep or something else was wrong.Finally, I reached out and poked the upturned fish belly, only to find that the belly was abnormally fat, bulging and almost bursting out of the skin.

Yao Bai blushed, "Did you die?"

Although he doesn't have a good impression of those who practice Buddhism, it's too unethical to kill people in Buddhist temples in broad daylight.Yao Bai quickly fished out the fish.Fortunately, the carp didn't die completely, and it came back to life after spending some spiritual power.

Yao Bai was about to put it back when the courtyard door creaked suddenly.He glanced back, thinking that he must have come back.Coincidentally, the carp was startled when it heard the door rang, and slithered to run, but its sharp fins slipped on Yao Bai's palm.

Yaobai let out a "hiss", spread his hands and saw that his palms were covered with blood, the culprit had already wagged his tail to escape the water.

It wasn't Yifu who came in, but Senior Brother Yifu who had met once.He first glanced at the room with the door wide open, and then turned his head to see Yao Bai standing on the porch.

Yao Bai held his own bloody hand and looked at him silently.

Yiyuan's expression changed instantly, maybe even he himself didn't understand why, "It's you."

He recognized Yao Bai as the child of a certain pilgrim whom he met yesterday.Yiyuan realized later that his tone was not enthusiastic, not even cold, but a faint and imperceptible guard.

"Are you injured?" Yiyuan asked, but he didn't intend to go up to help him.

His face was ugly, he took a few steps in the direction of Yao Bai, and then stopped on the spot without warning, as if there was a weight tied to the sole of his foot.No one knows what Yiyuan is going through, even he himself is not aware of it - the consciousness belonging to Yiyuan tells him that it is a weak child, and now he is injured and bleeding, and needs help.The other half kept warning him: Don't get close, the other party is very dangerous.

Yaobai saw his strange behavior with his own eyes, and didn't know why for a moment.It was only when he caught a glimpse of the blood on his palm that he suddenly realized: Yiyuan is more sensitive than ordinary people. If he smells his own blood again... he will immediately cover the blood with spiritual power behind the handle and heal the wound.

The blood energy was gone, and the fierce battle between heaven and man on Yiyuan's side eased down, and he stood there in a daze.

"Are you looking for Yifu?" Yao Bai sent him away: "He's not here."

Yiyuan took a long while before speaking again, "Does it matter if your hands are there, there should be medicine in the floating house, I'll take you to bandage it."

Yao Bai didn't move, "Thank you Xiaohe...Little Master, I can handle it myself."

Yiyuan was uncomfortable staying here, and couldn't help but want to turn around and go out several times. He endured the frizz and discomfort in his heart, and said, "Let me take you there."

Yaobai insisted that he didn't need it, and Yiyuan no longer finally gave up, saying: "Then I'll go first, and when you come back, tell him to come to the front hall to find me." He suddenly remembered that this child seemed to be called Xiaobai, and before leaving the house Suddenly, he asked, "Xiaobai, what's your last name?"

At the last sentence, Yaobai was taken aback by the question, the protoss don't use surnames, they only have one name, so they replied, "My name is Yaobai."

Yiyuan followed up and asked, "Did you come with your parents?"

Yao Bai was in a hurry to send him away, so he nodded and said, "That's right."

"Okay, bye."

Yao Bai obediently waved at him, "Goodbye, little master."

As soon as Yiyuan came out, the doubts in his heart increased instead of diminishing, he always felt weird, but he didn't know what was weird.Walking to the entrance of the alley, Yiyuan's figure froze suddenly, and cold sweat scrambled all over his back - he remembered clearly that the child's right hand was obviously covered in blood, but it was intact when he waved to him just now.

-

Yaobai didn't dare to feed the fish anymore, so he could only go back to the house bored.After a while, the courtyard door was pushed open again.Yao Bai didn't go out this time, he just looked out from the window.

It was none other than Yifu who came in this time.He turned back and closed the door, walked a few steps and then stepped back to close the latch.

Yao Bai lay on the side of the window watching.His eyes were sharp, and he saw that Yifu was still holding something in his arms. He was familiar with that thing. The yellow-white thin paper was bulging, and there were a few rings of oil spots sporadically oozing from it.Yao Bai hurried down to pick him up, and sure enough, as soon as Fu entered the room, he could smell the smell of barbecue.

Ever since he recovered from his injury, he was either busy chasing Mangtian or nesting at the top of Huawen Liushan and didn't want to see anyone, so he didn't care about eating and drinking in the human world for a long time.Yaobai stared straight at the oiled paper bag, very happy, "It's so good, you are really good!"

Yao Bai peeled off the paper twice, and there were three fat and big roasted chicken legs inside.He took a few bites before remembering to ask: "Didn't you say that there are only vegetarian meals? Where did you get this?" Then he thought of a possibility, puffed up his cheeks and asked in astonishment: "Isn't it you who caught and killed now?" Bar!"

Yaobai was astonished, but he couldn't hold back his joy, thinking that the little monk would not hesitate to break the precepts and kill animals just to get him food, and all precepts and Buddhist principles were put aside.He has a much more conscience than Wen Bufan in his previous life.

Yifu smelled on his body and was changing clothes behind the screen. Hearing this, he interrupted Yaobai's dream honestly: "It's just that there are a lot of shopkeepers gathered on the mountainside. I want to try my luck, but I don't want to return It's really for sale."

Yaobai let out a dejected "Oh" after hearing this, and was very disappointed, the chicken legs in his mouth were not as delicious as before.

"Your senior brother just came to look for you." Yao Bai said into the screen, "Let you go to the front hall."

"Understood." Yifu responded with his mouth, but his movements were still unhurried, and when he came out, Yaobai chewed all the bones and scum.

Yifu soaked the changed clothes with soap locust powder, and lit sandalwood all over the courtyard and house.Yao Bai, who was full of food and drink, was lazily flipping through the picture album, watching him coming in and out busy, and finally couldn't help but began to urge, "It's okay, you don't have any taste, you should go."

Finally, he wiped the small case in front of Yao Bai back and forth twice to ensure that no oil stains were left on it, "My master is old and his eyes and ears are disabled, but his nose is better than a dog's nose."

If it's not a big deal to be scolded, it's not good if Yao Bai is so tired that he can't come again.

Yao Bai conveniently opened the window a little wider, and while he was cleaning the table with his head down, a beam of sunlight slanted into the window, hitting the side of his face just in time.Yaobai took a look, and suddenly found that there was a small black spot in the place under Yifu's eyes out of thin air.He has the eyes of a bird, and when he seldom sees it wrong, it is clearly a mole.It's just that the traces are extremely faint, and if it is not illuminated, it is almost invisible.

Bai couldn't help tightening his hands, and the paper sizzled when he pinched the ground.How could this happen, how could Yi Fu suddenly have Wen Bufan's features?He was beating drums in his heart, he guessed that Yifu would look a little like Wen Bufan when he grew up, but it's only been a few days?

Yaobai suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was brewing somewhere he couldn't see.
