Chapter 29 Huai'an Temple is used to lock souls!
The car drove for about an hour, and Shen Lin felt sleepy after sitting there for a while, although he was frowning.
Shen Yunxiao just looked at his watch frequently.
"We're here." The driver reminded softly.
After Shen Lin woke up, he opened his eyes and looked out the window, and was dazed for a moment.
It was not as cold and desolate as imagined, but rather very lively. Perhaps it was because it was close to the end of the year, and it felt more like a temple fair.
Chen Lin pressed the window switch, holding the window with his slender white fingers, and looked up to find that there was a mountain behind this place, with layers of stacked steps in sight, and a sturdy Bodhi tree next to it, with red silk hanging on the branches, swaying in the wind.
So beautiful...
"You don't understand anything, so you think Lu Yuting is a good person..."
The car door was pushed open with a bang and then slammed shut.
Chen Lin looked around with his schoolbag on his back and found it very interesting. He had not been to the temple very often.
The housekeeper also got out of the car and asked, "Do you want more clothes?"
There was some wind around, but Shen Lin felt it was okay, so he shook his head. However, before he could say a word or two, Shen Yunxiao came over.
"Then I'll take my brother upstairs, and you just wait for him here." He said it quite bluntly.
The housekeeper asked calmly, "Will Xiao Shen come back safely?"
"nature."
"Will he not be kidnapped like he was at school?"
"He went back to his own home."
"Oh, a home where I have never had a hot meal."
"Who do you think you are—"
The situation was tense, Shen Lin's brain was blown up, he grabbed Shen Yunxiao and stammered, "Brother, brother."
For a time, there was silence.
Shen Yunxiao was about to leave with someone, but Shen Lin took off his schoolbag reluctantly, handed it to the housekeeper with both hands, and even said with a smile, "I'll be back soon."
Why?
Just a dog of the Lu family.
Shen Yunxiao still couldn't help but feel discriminatory.
After the two men left, the butler still looked unhappy, but after lowering his eyes and thinking for a while, he finally came to terms with it.
He just raised his hand and looked at the small schoolbag.
After considering it for a moment, I don't know what I was thinking about, and I smiled slightly.
Shen Lin always wore beads on his wrist, and he didn't take them off even after Shen Yunxiao said those things.
After all, it is given to you by others, so it is not very polite.
There are bluestone platforms on both sides of the steps, and occasionally there are some vendors, most of which are painted with Bagua diagrams and Five Elements diagrams, making it look like the real thing.
Shen Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity, but his expression that couldn't hide anything was immediately caught by the stall owner, who came up and called out, "That young man!"
"Come on, come on."
Shen Lin looked back in a daze and actually walked towards that direction, but was pulled back by Shen Yunxiao by his collar.
"What are you doing here?"
Why does he always seem to have no confidence? He believes everything others say. Hasn't he grown up?
"Let me take a look..." The boy was a little embarrassed, but he didn't go again. He just looked at the stall curiously.
But the matter was not over yet. Before Shen Lin left, the vendor started talking again, "Young man, meeting is fate. There is an evil spirit around you. You must get rid of it, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster soon!"
Shen Lin was immediately amused, he really heard such lines haha.
He just went over there just to hear what the other party would say. This mentality is similar to being curious about how many lies a scam phone call can make up. It's purely excessive curiosity.
Shen Lin didn't care at all and just kept walking forward.
But his wrist was pulled and he turned back to the spot. Shen Yunxiao walked over and scolded the man harshly, "How can you talk like that! Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Shen Lin was shocked that Shen Yunxiao was really angry, and tried to persuade him that "this is all fake", but the vendor was not happy again, thinking that this was ruining his reputation.
"Young man, don't talk nonsense. There are gods above your head. If you are disrespectful to gods like this, you will suffer great disaster. You are so well-dressed, why don't you solve your brother's misfortune?"
Shen Lin thought, how can you tell they are brothers? They don't look alike...
Besides, it’s not the case at all.
Seeing that there were quite a lot of people gathered around, some villagers from the foot of the mountain began to come over and scold him, calling him a swindler.
The man was so embarrassed that he hurriedly prepared to pack up and leave.
Shen Yunxiao's expression was not very good, but he still found time to say, "Don't believe this."
Seems a little distracted.
As Shen Lin walked up, he said slowly, "You are quite feudal and superstitious. There is no need to be angry. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Just work hard occasionally."
The man behind him was in a suit and tie, walking up the bluestone steps. He paused for a moment, raised his eyes and gave Shen Lin a serious look.
Inside Huai'an Temple.
——"The host is not here, so you need to make an appointment."
A young monk in the temple just said apologetically and bowed. Shen Lin looked curiously to see if there was a dot on the other person's head and tilted his head.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived here. We were already inside the temple, separated from the ticketed scenic area in front, so it finally seemed a little quieter.
Shen Yunxiao didn't seem surprised, he just asked politely, "Can you leave a quiet room for us?"
"Okay, okay, of course. Is it still the same place as before?" The little monk asked in front as he led the people there.
Shen Lin wondered if this string of beads had anything to do with it?
But I went anyway.
It’s a pity that the abbot can’t come...
The interior of the room is made of wood, with a small coffee table in the middle and futons on both sides.
Shen Lin knelt on the futon and looked at the tea table, finding it interesting. It turned out to be a chessboard. Did the teacups represent the black and white pieces?
"I threw your phone away. Don't you have any suspicion when he replaced it for you? He monitors you every time you go out. Do you think he is a good person?"
Shen Lin was greatly shocked, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he touched his pockets with both hands, empty?
"Are you still angry with me?" The other party said calmly, "But I didn't have a better solution at the time. The Lu family will not let this marriage go on for too long. I will take you back."
Shen Lin took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, "You stole my phone."
"You just had to tell me this."
Shen Lin was a little frustrated, but then he became serious, "Okay, let me change the subject. Was this Buddhist bead really worn by a dead person?"
"Why do you think Lu Shen didn't go to the old house in Linjing Mountain? His wife died there. Maybe he felt guilty about it."
Shen Lin frowned, he didn't know anything about Lu Yuting's mother, the book didn't explain it.
“Take it off quickly, Lu Shen is a lunatic, his son is also a lunatic, the dead cannot come back to life, this is used to lock the soul, do you think it is a good thing?” Shen Yunxiao looked grim, grabbed Shen Lin’s wrist, and pretended to take it off.
Shen Lin was distracted, and in a trance he suddenly pushed Shen Yunxiao away and protected his wrist.
“I…I…”
He didn't know what to say.
He is not Shen Ningan.
Shen Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then he took back his hand and said self-deprecatingly, "You came to my house when you were twelve years old. We have been together for more than seven years, and you don't believe me."
"How long have you and Lu Yuting been together? I said I would take you home, why don't you believe me?"
Shen Lin held his wrist with one hand. He didn't know why he felt dull and depressed. He felt so uncomfortable, especially when he recalled the details recorded in the diary.
He looked down at the beads on his wrist and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "You don't like me..."
Shen Yunxiao closed his eyes. "Do you think a verbal promise is so important? That's how he lied to you!"
He seemed to be extremely angry, but didn't want to get angry at anyone, so he stood up and walked away.
Shen Lin sat there in a daze until someone came and slapped him with pomelo leaves, saying it was to remove the "turbid air".
The boy pursed his lips and touched the beads again. He was "turbid".
*
After Shen Yunxiao walked out of the door, his expression became calm again. He just lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then glanced at the depressed person with his head down through the crack in the door.
Walked quickly.
Shen Lin waited here for a while, but still didn't see Shen Yunxiao. He panicked for a moment and left him there.
The little monk collected the banana leaves and was about to leave when he was stopped.
"Where's my brother? Is he gone?"
The little monk just shook his head and said nothing, looked at him with a slightly strange look, and then hurried away.
Shen Lin was about to leave immediately, but the wooden door was bolted and could only make a banging noise, which made him anxious all of a sudden.
Where is Shen Yunxiao?
"Brother, brother..." He called out a few times, but still no response.
Shen Lin felt aggrieved all of a sudden, and looked at the door for a long time, his chin slightly drooping.
Until there were messy footsteps outside the door, he warned impatiently, "This is the Lu family's territory, Shen Yunxiao has been kicked out, you stay inside honestly!"
Shen Lin was a little depressed and felt puzzled. He clearly didn't ask anything.
The noise outside the door gradually returned to silence...
Chen Lin could only sit on the futon again. Later he felt his legs sore and pounded his calves. Finally he was so tired that he fell on the coffee table. The incense in the room smelled so good.
My bones are so soft from sleeping.
The person briefly loses some consciousness.
But at the same time, in a quiet room next door with a similar route, a thin young man was knocked unconscious by someone who covered his mouth from behind. He was dragged out while struggling, looking very embarrassed.
Shen Lin felt his body was so heavy and he couldn't wake up. He seemed to hear some chaotic footsteps, but it seemed like an illusion.
——"Boss Lu has always been kind to you. Once you marry into the Lu family, you belong to the Lu family. People who are traitors are not good people!"
——"Don't struggle. Mr. Lu will come in person soon."
Chen Lin listened to the voice that seemed to be near but far away, and wondered in a daze, is this Lu Yuting Duwei?
Who is speaking……
About ten minutes later, Shen Yunxiao entered the room. Looking at the blindfolded boy and his arm with red marks from being tied, he frowned, but still gently embraced the boy. His voice was particularly trembling and worried.
"An'an? An'an? Don't be afraid."
Slender fingers pulled off the blindfold——
Shen Lin woke up when he smelled a cool and refreshing fragrance. The overlapping voices in his ears seemed to be still going on, very noisy.
He frowned, feeling hot and irritated.
The base of his ear was suddenly touched by a piece of ice, and Shen Lin involuntarily leaned over and rubbed it.
Until he gradually regained consciousness and his vision gradually changed from blurry to clear, he saw layer upon layer of silk curtains and a person sitting beside the bed, looking at him with lowered eyes and a smile.
Chen Lin suddenly froze, his cheek still pressed against the other's palm, and said woodenly, "Lu Yuting?"
The other party seemed to be very leisurely and elegant. He leaned slightly closer, and as their breaths intertwined, the voice of the person talking next door was still very loud.
Wooden houses have poor sound insulation.
Shen Lin didn't dare to look into his eyes, his eyelids drooped and his heart beat like a drum.
——The Lu family won’t want someone like you, a coward and a waste!
——Mr. Lu already has a lover, you are just a substitute...
Shen Lin was so confused that he couldn't move. How did he end up in bed after sleeping? When did Lu Yuting come?
"Listen." A steady voice came from above. Lu Yuting gently rubbed the corner of Chen Lin's eyes with his fingers, and increased the force with a sense of mischief.
Shen Lin couldn't stand the sandpaper-like touch. His eyes were covered with physiological moisture, and they turned red as if they were rouge.
He tried his best to use his brain and said, "It wasn't me!"
other side:"……"
Lu Yuting lowered his eyes and glanced at the man, raised his hand through Shen Lin's waist, lifted him up with one hand, put him in his arms, and said calmly against the man's neck, "Forget that you are not smart."
“I can’t hear it…”
The voices next door suddenly quieted down, and there seemed to be the sound of a door being opened.
Chen Lin lowered his head, watching Lu Yuting pinching the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his mind working at high speed.
Go to the quiet room - quarrel with brother - can't go out - someone outside the door said Shen Yunxiao was kicked out - feel very sleepy - sleep - half asleep and half awake - Lu Yuting appears.
ah?
What’s going on!
“You should be able to hear this.” Shen Lin felt his Adam’s apple being pressed, and his whole body trembled, and he was forced to say “hmm”.
But at this moment of panic——
The sounds from next door can be heard clearly.
——"An'an? An'an? Don't be afraid."
Shen Lin was stunned. Shen Yunxiao? Didn't he leave?
——"Who are you? Where is Shen Ning'an!"
——"You bunch of idiots, have you walked into the wrong room?!"
Shen Lin was horrified for a moment. What was he doing? Was he putting on a show?
There was a gentle breeze blowing past my ears, "Wife, my brother-in-law is a great actor... How would you rate him?"
