Chapter 549 Her Master is Fooling a Child
Shu Yu happened to be looking at the child, and upon seeing this, her eyes narrowed slightly. She then waved to the child and said with a smile, "You're Little Stone, right? Can I ask you a few questions?"
She had heard the family call the child's name while she was inside the house.
Sure enough, Little Stone paused for a moment, hesitated, and then ran in. "Sister, is there a problem?"
Meng Yunzheng was also surprised, and followed back to the bedside, his questioning gaze falling on Shu Yu.
Shu Yu looked at the amulet hanging around Xiao Shitou's neck. She had only seen it from a distance before, but now that Xiao Shitou was standing right in front of her, she was certain that she hadn't misjudged it.
She looked up, smiled gently, and asked, "Little Stone, can you tell me who gave you this amulet?"
Little Stone looked down and realized that his lucky charm was sticking out from under his clothes.
He quickly reached out and carefully tucked it back into his collar.
However, he hesitated when asked by Shu Yu, seemingly unwilling to say more.
Meng Yunzheng asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shu Yu glanced at the little stone and replied in a low voice, "This is a peace charm from Dongqing Temple."
"Hmm?" But the peace talisman of Dongqing Temple that Meng Yunzheng remembered didn't seem to be like this.
Shu Yu realized what she meant and immediately changed her words, "It can't be said to be from Dongqing Temple, it should be said to be the amulet of the abbot of Dongqing Temple."
The abbess of Dongqing Temple has a habit of hanging a bead on her amulet. This bead is different from ordinary round beads; hers is gourd-shaped, making it very easy to recognize.
"You mean..." Meng Yunzheng suddenly looked up, so the Dongqing Temple Master really did come to the southwest, and even came to this Dafang Village.
Shu Yu wasn't sure yet, so she looked at Xiao Shitou and softened her tone, "Xiao Shitou, could you tell your sister if the person who gave you the amulet was a Taoist nun? About this tall, rather thin, with a mole on the back of her left cheek, and a kind-looking face. She also had a bamboo flute hanging from her waist?"
As she described it, Little Stone's eyes widened, becoming round and filled with surprise.
"Sister, how did you know?"
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Because I once had the same kind of amulet as you, which was given to me by that Taoist nun."
Little Stone immediately became happy, "So my sister is just like me, she has also received the blessings of the gods!"
Shu Yu, “…” Huh??
Blessings from the gods? How exactly does her master manage to fool such innocent and naive children?
She chuckled dryly, "Yes, then can you tell me... when did that master give you this blessing?"
Perhaps because he had a similar experience to Shu Yu, Xiao Shitou became less guarded and even started to talk freely. "It was two months ago. I was in poor health and used to get sick all the time. Those bad people even said that I wouldn't live for more than a few years. Especially two months ago, I was lying in bed and couldn't even get up. My dad was about to take me to see a doctor when the fairy godmother came."
Shu Yu sighed. Her master was truly amazing; he had already risen to the status of a fairy maiden.
“The fairy gave me medicine, and I felt much better. She stayed with me for several days, and I got better every day. Before she left, she gave me this amulet. For the past two months, I haven’t been sick again.”
Little Stone greatly admires the Abbess of Dongqing Temple. When he talks about her, he tilts his head slightly, showing great piety.
