Chapter 22: Are you coming or not?
Anjing Temple is located on Huayan Mountain.
When the first ray of light in the morning breaks through the clouds and shines on the top of the mountain, the bell rings, awakening the new day.
Old Master Ji took Chu Feiyan and a group of black-clad bodyguards up the mountain early.
In front of the temple.
Master Liaoran warmly welcomes the guests.
"You are worthy of being a master. Your Buddhist teachings are so profound that even my grandson has been converted by you!" Old Master Ji stomped his cane and said with a bad look.
Chu Feiyan supported the old man and said in a accusatory manner, "You old monk, can you be a human being? My brother is in his prime, how can he become a monk with you!"
Although he looked calm and smiled nonchalantly, he was actually very panicked inside.
He looked at the burly men in black standing in a row behind the old man and felt unsure. Could it be that they were really here to demolish his temple?
He turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, pretending to be deep and thoughtful. "Buddha is merciful. Mr. Ji is smart and very much like his father."
This statement has profound meaning.
Intelligence means that your eldest grandson has a normal mind, is a normal person, and has the ability to make self-judgment.
He is very much like his father, which implies that your family genes are like this, you are stubborn and he cannot be educated!
The old man snorted and walked towards the temple.
Several people sat quietly, the old man drank tea leisurely, and chatted with Master Liangran from time to time.
Chu Feiyan walked around curiously. It was his first time here and he didn't know what was so interesting about a shabby temple. His brother came here often.
I heard that his uncle also came here often three years after his aunt passed away.
Is there really a Buddha in the world? He doesn't believe it.
Half an hour later.
Assistant Xiao Zhao came in to report, "Boss Chu, everything has been arranged. The bodyguards have already practiced seventeen different plans from all directions and methods! We will ensure the mission is completed!"
Chu Feiyan nodded, "Very good!"
"Grandpa, just watch carefully. I guarantee that my brother will never be able to escape this time!"
Everyone takes their positions and waits for the target to appear.
Chu Feiyan's eyes were shining and he was very excited.
This gave him the opportunity to deal with his brother.
Thinking of his brother being tied up, his blood started boiling and he didn't feel bored at all staying in the boring temple.
Several people waited from morning to noon.
After a quick lunch, we continued to wait.
The sun was high in the sky until the afternoon.
The sun sets.
No one came.
There is a big scene today. Laran was afraid of something happening, so he ordered the temple to be closed long ago, and no one else will come.
Everyone waited for a whole day, from being on high alert at the beginning, to sitting all over the place and finally to being very uncomfortable.
Are you coming or not?!
The old man dozed off in the chair. He didn't sleep well last night and got up early this morning, so he was really sleepy.
After a while of sleep, I opened my eyes and asked, "Are you here?"
Chu Feiyan replied weakly, "No."
"Not here yet?"
"No?"
“…”
Seven o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was almost completely setting behind the mountain.
Everyone was already exhausted from waiting.
The old man woke up from his sleep and said, "Ran Ran, did you two meet today?"
"Yes, old man. Mr. Ji said he would come back in three days." Liao Ran was also very puzzled. Mr. Ji was always punctual and never late for the agreed time to come to the temple. "How about I call and ask?"
Old Master Ji glared at him angrily, "Can you rush him? What if he forgets and doesn't want to do it anymore? Wouldn't it be bad if you rush him?"
He nodded in agreement.
"How about I call my brother and find out what's going on?" Chu Feiyan suggested.
The old man nodded.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered. Just when Chu Feiyan was about to give up, the call was connected.
Chu Feiyan excitedly glanced at the old man, silently said "OK", and then pretended to be casual, "Hey, brother, what are you doing? Have you eaten?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was cold, "What's the matter?"
The lie came out of his mouth, "Oh, it's like this, Grandpa said he missed you. I'm in Jingyuan with the old man now. There's a table full of delicious food. I wanted to ask you, do you want to come back and eat with us?"
Ji Feizhi glanced at the empty hall, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"
He came to Jingyuan at six o'clock, but after waiting for an hour, the old man didn't come back, and Chu Feiyan was not there either.
Where did this kid go to make trouble with the old man, and why did he call to deceive me?
"Of course! They are all my favorite dishes. Why, are you coming or not? Are you still working overtime at the company, brother?" Chu Feiyan asked tentatively.
"Come." Ji Feizhi agreed, "We'll be at Jingyuan in half an hour."
Looking at the hung up call, Chu Feiyan was dumbfounded.
His brother, do you agree now?
He just said a few nonsense words, why did his brother agree?!
"Hurry up, Grandpa, tell Uncle Zhang to prepare dinner! We should hurry back, maybe we can still make it! If my brother knew I lied to him, he would break my legs!"
The old man's eyebrows twitched, "I heard it!"
Play it on the loudspeaker, everyone can hear it!
They are here to tie someone up today, and the ropes are ready. Why are you telling me this?
The crowd came in a mighty force and left in a hurry.
Come and go in a hurry.
Le Ran watched everyone leave and sighed, "Ah..."
Jingyuan.
Dishes have been placed on the dining table one after another.
Without the old man's notification, Chef Zhang had already prepared the meal.
After all, the eldest young master is back, so whether the old man and the others come back or not, they still have to cook.
Chu Feiyan came back with the old man. Seeing the man sitting at the dining table with a serious expression, his scalp tingled. "Brother, you're back... When did you come back..."
You won't find out that he lied, will you?
"Just got back."
"That's good..." He touched the frightened little heart.
"It's only been over an hour."
There was awkwardness in the air and a silence.
“......?” Chu Feiyan.
Old man, "......"
"Let's eat, the food is getting cold." The old man quickly changed the subject.
The atmosphere at the table was strange. The three of them buried their heads in their food and no one spoke.
The small Bodhi leaf on the old man's shoulder betrayed the two of them.
The two went to Anjing Temple. Ji Feizhi knew the truth but did not expose it.
His original intention of returning to Jingyuan tonight was to explain everything to his grandfather so that he wouldn't worry.
Perhaps, there is nothing wrong in releasing the beast in your heart.
In one's lifetime, it's okay to be selfish once.
"Grandpa, if I did something wrong, will you forgive me?" Ji Feizhi put down his chopsticks and spoke suddenly.
Grandpa Ji slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at his grandson kindly. "No matter what you do wrong, you have grandpa here."
As long as you don’t bring up family matters, it’s no big deal even if the sky breaks!
Ji Feizhi's heart moved slightly, and he picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it into the old man's bowl, "Grandpa, you have high blood lipids, eat more green vegetables."
Chu Feiyan's eyes moved stealthily between the two of them.
There was another silence.
"I won't mention what happened that day again." Ji Feizhi said lightly.
The old man was so excited that his chopsticks fell on the table. He quickly picked them up, his brows full of joy, and put a piece of meat into his eldest grandson's bowl, "Good! Eat your food!"
His eyes were wet and he secretly wiped away the tears.
He glanced at his grandson again, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, "Eat it all! Eat!"
Chu Feiyan was confused, but he seemed to understand the gist of it, that he didn't have to tie up his brother anymore.
That’s great, his brother is still his brother.
