Ancient Buddhist Life

Hu Ziyi watched with a smile on his face as the two little guys returned to their former vivacity, and his worries eased a little, but he would never let go of those who hurt their brothers and sisters.

"Young Master, the Hu Clan's Ancestral Hall has arrived."

"Well, come down!"

Hu Ziyi looked at some ancient ancestral halls in front of him, and curled the corner of his mouth in disdain. For the original owner, this place was a dream place. Unfortunately, the third house of the Hu family was not favored by the elderly in the family, and it was impossible to enter on some important occasions of worshiping the ancestors. shrine.

"Hu Ziyi, what are you trying to do? You treat your grandfather and uncle like this, aren't you afraid of thunder?" The news about the Hu family has already spread in the village, and the elders of the three clans who rushed over upon hearing the rumors pointed at Hu Ziyi scolded.

"You don't know what I want to do? I personally visited you in the morning, so you don't know the reason for my visit." Thinking of the three clan elders who kept hinting that he would give gifts in the morning, otherwise he would be helpless, Hu Ziyi I couldn't help but sneered in my heart.

"You... This is treason. How can the centuries-old reputation of our Hu Clan's Ancestral Hall be ruined by you, a little bastard. You have no face and no future. How can the future of our descendants be ruined by your selfish desires." The more he talked, the more he felt that the elders of the three clans were reasonable, and he almost poked his finger in Hu Ziyi's face.

Hu Ziyi waved his hand to avoid the dangling hand in front of his eyes, and said with a cold face: "Old man of the three clans, can you represent everyone's opinions? The patriarch didn't say anything, who are you busy with this up and down monkey show?" ? Could it be bought by someone?"

Hu Ziyi's sharp eyes seemed to see through everything, and the old man of the three clans stammered nervously: "You...what are you talking about? You slander me like this, and you don't even think that I will nod and agree to your departure from the clan."

"Whether you agree or not has nothing to do with me, and it's not up to you to dictate the matter of my leaving the clan." As long as he thought of someone in the Hu family who came to do things for Hu Yi, the chill on Hu Ziyi's body could not be restrained from spreading out.

Standing behind Hu Ziyi, the father and son Hu Moxie couldn't help shivering. The three of them secretly glanced at Hu Ziyi, and secretly gloated in their hearts: "Little bastard, I let you show off, and I will see what you do later." .”

Several people with their own concerns looked at the two sides warily, until the belated arrival of the patriarch and village head Hu Yihu, the anxious relationship was slightly eased.

Before the patriarch arrived, a loud voice came: "Zi Yi, tell me if you have any grievances. As long as it is not your fault, I will support you."

"Thank you patriarch, I think you already know the purpose of my coming here. As for the specific reason, I don't mind talking about it here, but some people think the face of the Hu's ancestral hall is very important, or we should go in and say Let's do it." Although it can be inferred from the voices of Zixin and Zitong that the patriarch's son, Hu Qian, is here to handle affairs for Hu Yi, Hu Ziyi still has a good impression of the patriarch, and this old man is fairly clear about public and private affairs.

The shrewd patriarch patted Hu Ziyi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go into the ancestral hall and talk slowly. As for other unimportant people, just stay outside and go about your own business."

"Patriarch, how can you do this? It's hard to finish the work in the field and have a few days of free time. Why can't you let us big guys join in the fun?" Let them watch the excitement from the sidelines, and the bustling booing immediately started.

"Go to the town and find some part-time jobs to do when you are idle and panic. If you earn more money, life at home will be easier." If there are some trivial things at home, the patriarch doesn't mind them watching from the sidelines, but it is obvious that today Hu The affairs of the moxibustion family were not simple, and there was even such an unprecedented event as a family.

"This... Patriarch and us big guys staying here can also be a witness for you." Some people who were still unwilling to give up tried to think of various reasons to stay.

The head of the patriarch said in a serious tone, "Why didn't I see you so active when you were working? You usually push things around, but when you watch the excitement, you are all alive and well. It seems that it is necessary to arrange millet threshing for you next time when the farming season is busy. work, otherwise it would be a waste of your excess energy to keep it."

The few people who were lazy scratched their heads with a smile and said, "Patriarch, don't be angry, let's go." They said that they ran away quickly like the wind under their feet, and then they stopped. He stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

"You said that some great event happened to Hu Xiucai's family, and the patriarch opened the ancestral hall to solve the problem for their big family." The curious people, you guessed at each other.

A meticulous young man with clean clothes and haircut said in a moderate voice: "Hu Yilai's eldest son brought his younger brothers and sisters and made a fuss about leaving the clan. Even the patriarch was alarmed."

"Out of the family? Hu Ziyi, who usually looks silent, would actually cause such a thing. But I think this matter is probably unknown. There has never been such a thing in the Hu's ancestral hall for a hundred years. It is probably a thunderstorm." It's a little small, and it will be nothing in the end." An old man who looked a little older said slowly while stroking the beard on his chin.

"Oh, it would be great if I could witness all this with my own eyes, but it's a pity."

"Who says it's not? This eldest son of the Hu family's third family has been like a killing god since he hurt his head last time. He has treated all the young and old in Hu Xiucai's family in a submissive manner. I didn't expect them to dare to provoke this killing god." , it seems that the incident this time is quite serious, otherwise Hu Ziyi wouldn't have made a fuss about leaving the clan."

"This man! I'm used to being superior and looking down on anyone. It's not always clear." Some people who have long been disgusted with the Hu family's way of doing things said disdainfully.

"We're guessing here and we can't figure out why, why don't we go back and take a look?" The young man who spoke just now urged from behind.

"Is this feasible? The patriarch has always said one thing, if he finds out, we will be miserable." Some people who were a little moved by the instigation suddenly flinched when they thought of the majesty and principles of the patriarch.

Seeing that things are coming soon, the young people looked at these timid villagers who wanted to watch the excitement with some contempt, and continued to lobby and said: "Before the renovation of the ancestral hall, the back door of the former site has not been sealed. We can go from that place." Sneaking into the ancestral hall, so that we don't have to worry that the patriarch will find us, but also satisfy our curiosity."

After he reminded, the villagers finally remembered this forgotten door, and they discussed excitedly: "This little brother is right, let's go and have a look! Even if it is really unfortunate that it is discovered, we will find it in this way." There are many people here, and the patriarch won't make it too difficult for us if we want to come."

"Okay, let's go."

Excited, the people walking towards the ancestral hall in front of them with great interest did not notice the young man who urged them to go to the ancestral hall, looked at their backs with a proud face, and did not follow them to the ancestral hall.

"Mr. Hu, you have completed the task very well this time. The young master is very satisfied. He asked me to tell you that Hu Yilai's future troubles must not be left behind, otherwise there will be endless troubles. As for how to do it, it is up to you. As long as you If you can complete this matter again, you will take Hu Yilai's place in the future." A masked man in black appeared from nowhere, hidden behind the young man, and delivered orders in a cold tone.

The young man nodded and replied: "Understood, please rest assured, young master, I will definitely not disappoint his expectations."

"Okay, looking forward to your good news." After saying this, the man in black turned around and disappeared without a trace.

……

"Zi Yi, there are only a few of us here now. If there is anything we want to say, let's make it clear that I think it's better to forget about leaving the clan!" The patriarch gently persuaded Hu Ziyi, hoping that he could dispel the idea of ​​leaving the clan .

Facing such a sensible patriarch, Hu Ziyi changed his attitude of talking to the elders of the three clans before, and asked with a slightly tentative expression: "Patriarch, have you heard about Hu Yilai's life?"

"I'm still alive? Is this true?" the patriarch asked with disbelief.

"Really, he not only came back alive, but also climbed to the position of chief soldier, which can be said to be a glorious ancestor." The irony in Hu Ziyi's words, even if everyone wanted to pretend not to hear it.

Hu Yihu glanced at the patriarch, stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Zi Yi, aren't you happy that your father is back? From what you say, your father has become a high-ranking official. Isn't it the end of all your hardships? Why are you still making trouble?" The matter of leaving the clan? You have to know that once you leave the clan, all the glory and wealth of your father will have nothing to do with you. Moreover, if you brothers want to go into official careers in the future, they will also be criticized by everyone."

"It's better to be irrelevant. He is worse than a beast like this. A father who sells his son for glory. I would rather he die on the battlefield. That way at least he is still a person in our hearts and not inferior to a beast." When Hu Yi mentioned it, he couldn't restrain his temper. Hu Ziyi said angrily.

Hu Ziyi's hatred for Hu Yilai made Hu Yihu, who didn't know the situation, a little confused. He looked at the patriarch full of doubts and asked him if he knew what was going on.

The patriarch, who was also unaware, shrugged helplessly, expressing that he was helpless.

Hu Mo, father and son, who were left aside and ignored, struggled with all their strength, trying to attract everyone's attention.

Hu Ziyi's intentional letting go, soon everyone noticed the three father and son Hu Moxie, and the elders of the three clans who were at odds with Hu Ziyi were the first to put eye drops on Hu Ziyi in front of the patriarch, accusing him of all kinds of wrongdoing and unfilial piety.

Hearing what the elders of the three clans said so swearingly, the patriarch didn't immediately question Hu Ziyi, but asked people to untie Hu Moxie, father and son first.

As soon as the rags from the mouths of the three of them were taken off here, Hu Mo said with a full face of grievance: "Patriarch, at this age, I still have to be treated like this by a junior, tell me how this makes me have the face in the future." The village lives on."

"Okay, let's talk about what happened first. Is he really still alive and has become the commander-in-chief? Also, what conflicts did he have with Zi Yi, and why did he have to leave the clan. "The patriarch, who had no time to chat with him, diverted his attention forcefully.

Hu Moxie, who was a little unhappy with the patriarch's attitude, couldn't help feeling superior when he thought of having the son of a general soldier, and said triumphantly: "First of all, this child is indeed alive, and he is the grandson-in-law of General Song. He is promising, he will return to Xi Town this time, just to take our family to the capital to enjoy the blessings."

"Really? This is a great thing. Why didn't you inform us these old things earlier, so that we can visit him next time. He is the first military officer of our Hu clan to be in the general army." The elders of the three clans fawned Said.

The fluttering Hu Moxie listened to everyone's praise with his chest upright, and he didn't take Hu Yilai's current situation seriously at all, because in his opinion, as the grandson-in-law of the current general, there is no possibility of being convicted.Officials protect each other, even those who are not officials know it.

Looking at Hu Moxibustion who is still immersed in the dream of his son being a high official, Hu Ziyi sneered and said: "Mr. Hu, why didn't you say that your good son sold his own son to ask for his own future? Oh, that's right. , and the fact that Hu Yidong and Hu Yilai harmed Zimei together, could it be that you have forgotten it? Why is it possible that you have amnesia and only remember the good things but not the bad things?"

Hu Moxie, who had no words to refute, stared at Hu Ziyi angrily, and kept jumping in his heart to insult Hu Ziyi in various ways, but he was bullying and afraid of being tough, so he dared not point at Hu Ziyi's nose and curse, otherwise he was very afraid that Hu Ziyi would be merciless snapped his fingers.

In the eyes of everyone, Hu Moxi's silence was tacit consent. They were so shocked that they couldn't believe what they heard. You must know that in the eyes of the villagers, Hu Yilai is a good old man who allows others to bully him. To be so ruthless and ruthless for the sake of the future, she even gave up her own children.

The patriarch still didn't believe it, so he asked, "Is this a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Because of Hu Yilai, Zitong and Zixin have not recovered yet. If someone with good intentions rescued them, they would have been bought somewhere by that unscrupulous person." Hu Ziyi said At the same time, his hands were constantly soothing the backs of the two younger brothers, hoping to relieve their nervousness.

"This..." Having found the patriarch who continued to question without saying a word, he could only keep silent.
