The Buddhist child and the little boy came to Anping County. The Buddhist child asked, "Why do you have to come here?"
The little kid said, "Didn't you figure it out?"
Buddhist Son: ... again: "Why do you have to come here just for Zhang Baiyi?"
The little kid said, "We'll just sit there and do nothing else, as long as Zhang Baiyi can return safely.
Do you know how many people have scolded us for the fact that Yang Changfeng, Lord Yang, has no descendants?
If the last bit of blood of Twelve Lang is cut off again, we will be blamed again.
Moreover, these shining stars are closely linked to each other. I came here to make sure that all of them are better and don’t go out.”
The Buddhist disciple asked, "Master Yang, didn't Chen Yun's star still disappear?"
The little kid glared at him: "That was before I got here!"
The Buddhist looked at the pink ball and said, "Zhang Baiyi hasn't arrived yet? Why should we come first?"
The little kid said, "I'm a child. I have to eat and play. I'm a child, a child, you know?"
Buddhist Son: ...If I want to hit someone, I just want to hit the child.
The little kid said, "I want to eat that."
The Buddhist disciple followed his gaze and saw scallion egg pancakes, sesame sugar pancakes, and crispy meat pancakes.
"Which one?"
"meat pie."
The Buddhist child took the little kid's hand and came to the little girl's stall: "Give me three sesame sugar cakes and two meat cakes."
The two sat down and ate their own cakes. A ragged mother and son came to the cake stand. The little girl gave them a few cakes, arranged for them to sit in a corner below her, and gave them two bowls of water to drink.
Some people who were eating the cakes or waiting in line to buy them were saying, "This mother and son are so pitiful. The son has amnesia, and the husband has kicked them out."
"They said the mother and son were disaster stars, but in fact they just fell in love with another girl, and just after they kicked her out, her husband got a new wife."
"Is there a girl who can marry a man like this?"
"Of course not. His family is considered wealthy, and how do you know that the girl's character is not the same as his?"
Ma Jingling had heard about this pancake stall from her mother-in-law and wanted to come and see what the lively little girl looked like, who even her mother-in-law looked at her differently.
She sat at the stall, eating a meat pie. Tomorrow was a big day, so she hoped everything would go well. She hadn't been sleeping well these past few days, her mind too tense. She wanted to go out for a walk and change her mind.
Ma Jingling couldn't help but look at them for a while longer when she heard everyone talking about the mother and son.
Someone else said, "Didn't the imperial court issue an edict? Amnesia can be cured."
"If this decree had been issued earlier, would this mother and son have not been driven out?"
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the two of them have been hooking up for a long time. I'm afraid the girl is pregnant."
"It's rare for people with amnesia to be driven out. It's usually only the wealthy who get it. I think it's a disease of the rich."
"Someone was driven out. Over time, the truth will show. Have you heard? There was a wealthy family in our county where the father killed his own son."
"Because his son has amnesia?"
"No, on the contrary, it's because his son's lost soul is about to be cured. He was incomplete in the five elements, and after taking away one of his son's souls, he became a person with all the five elements. This person always thinks that from now on, he will become richer and more prominent, and that having all the five elements is a good fate.
Unexpectedly, his amnesia could be cured, and he had to return his five elements, so he killed his son and pretended that he had fallen into the water. The coroner found that the son had been thrown into the water after death.
After being arrested, this man said that he killed his son not for himself, but for their entire family. With a patriarch like him who possesses all five elements, their family will surely rise to greater heights.
Ma Jingling listened to all these discussions and without saying a word, he went to the little girl's stall and bought ten more meat patties, then placed them in front of the mother and son. The mother thanked him, and Ma Jingling smiled and sat next to them.
The Buddhist disciple said, "If she takes this wrong step, it may be difficult to turn back."
The little baby remained silent.
Ma Jingling looked at the mother and son quietly and asked, "Do you hate your husband?"
The woman said, “I used to hate him, but after hearing all this I feel that at least my son is still alive, and at least he will be fine in two days.
As long as my son is well, I have hope and expectation, and I will always be able to live a good life."
After a pause, he continued, "I still hate it, but I don't blame the heavens or the earth as much anymore."
Ma Jingling asked, "Where are you staying now? Do you and your son have a place to stay temporarily?"
The woman said, "Yes, we are staying in an inn now. We have already informed the head of the village and the government office.
I have also arranged for a high-ranking monk who can adjust the five elements to come to the inn to find us in a couple of days to check on our son. Then, the high-ranking monk and the people from the government office will accompany us home to adjust the five elements. After that, I will divorce that man.
"You were kicked out because you didn't want to divorce?"
"That's right and that's not right. I wanted to divorce him after my son's amnesia was cured, but he refused to let me. He couldn't wait even a moment and insisted that I break up with him immediately.
He said that whether I agreed to the divorce or not, I had to leave home immediately. He wanted to marry his beloved and didn't want us mother and son to be in his home and an eyesore to his beloved.
I wanted to fight for a small house for my son and me to live in, but he refused to share it. He said the girl he was going to marry didn't agree.
Then he threw a divorce letter at my son and drove him out. When my son recovered, I didn't recognize him because he divorced me. There were no grounds for divorce, so what right did he have?
