Chapter 169 What are you busy doing at home?
When Master Decheng and his party sat down in the teahouse, the chief monk from the temple also happened to arrive at the old woman's house.
He got off the carriage and saw someone standing outside the yard gate. He also smelled the fragrance of flowers, and his heart sank suddenly.
The people arranged by the monk actually found out some things about the old woman's family.
But they all thought that the old woman's father had never returned and was most likely dead outside.
However, when the old woman was in the temple, she was clearly at the end of her life, but after she came back, she recovered quickly.
The big monk was a little curious, so when the old woman's son came up the mountain to invite him, he only hesitated for a moment and then agreed to follow him down the mountain.
When the big monk entered the courtyard and saw the old woman greeting him in the courtyard, his brows twitched involuntarily.
The old woman's condition was obviously much better now. When the monk heard the old woman say that she wanted to thank Buddha for her blessing, he could only pretend to be profound and said, "Donor, this is the blessing you brought with you."
The monk entered the old woman's yard, saw the flowers in full bloom, and examined them carefully: "Apart from the strong fragrance of the flowers, I can't see anything wrong with them."
He asked curiously, "Are the flowers in this yard meant to bloom?"
The maid next to the old woman shook her head and said, "A few days ago, the gardener came to take care of the branches of flowers in the yard. I took a look at it at the time, but I didn't see any buds on the branches."
The monk looked around and after getting the old woman's permission, he even went into her yard.
The big monk couldn't see anything wrong, and he asked about his daily life in the past few days with concern.
When listening to the old woman's story about her missing father appearing in her dreams at night, he asked carefully about what happened. Then he saw that some of the younger people surrounding the old woman had turned pale as the old woman spoke.
He sighed in his heart. The old woman's father was indeed not an ordinary man. His daughter said she wanted to see the flowers blooming in the spring, and the flowers were blooming in the middle of winter.
The love that parents have for their children is always profound and lasting.
The monk quickly said goodbye and left. When the monk got on the carriage, someone who was waiting outside the gate asked anxiously, "Does their family have flowers that have been cultivated into spirits?"
The monk got on the carriage without stopping for a moment. He did not open the window until the carriage was out of the city gate and looked in the direction of the city.
Today, the storyteller in the teahouse did not tell any stories. He just sat on the storytelling platform for a while, then found an opportunity to tell the host: "I won't come here these days."
The host smiled at the storyteller and said, "Sir, please come over. I will set up a quiet place for you to come up with a new story."
The storyteller naturally understood what the boss meant. He thought for a moment and then whispered, "Boss, the teahouse is too close to that house."
The host smiled particularly brightly: "We won't tell other people's stories by name, just tell us the legend of gods and monsters repaying kindness."
The storyteller nodded silently, took the reward from his boss, and then found a place outside the teahouse to listen to everyone talking about the old woman's life.
When Master Decheng and his group were leaving, the host specially greeted them: "In a few days, our teahouse will have a new story, a story that is worth everyone's attention."
Master Decheng directly decided on the positions for three consecutive days and said to the host: "Host, choose a good position for us."
The host nodded happily and whispered, "Our teahouse is doing brisk business. The Kitchen God will protect the safety of our guests."
After Master Decheng and his party returned home, Master Qiyuan said to Xia Yu, "I will watch over you while you sleep tonight. I'll see who dares to come."
Qicheng Zhenren followed and said, "Brother, let's go together."
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan and said, "You should be alert at night. If there is anything, you must speak up. Do you understand?"
Shi Zelan directly handed Shi Xiaoliu a stack of talismans: "Silent explosion talisman, which will make the things that want to harm you disappear without a trace."
In the evening, when Shi Xiaoliu closed the gate of the yard, he looked outside and found that the lanterns hanging at the gates of each yard were swaying in the wind.
He was a little surprised, and the lantern that he had originally wanted to carry into the yard was hung back up again.
He closed the courtyard door and whispered to Master Decheng, "No one took the lantern home, so I didn't take mine either."
Master Decheng sighed and said, "There are smart people on this street, we just need to follow them."
When Shi Xiaoliu returned to the backyard, he saw Shi Zelan sitting under the eaves. He walked over and whispered, "Why don't you go in and sleep?"
Shi Zelan pointed to Xia Yu's room and said, "I feel a little uneasy and want to sit under the eaves for a while."
After listening to Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lan, it's been a long time since we had a heart-to-heart talk under the moonlight.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, shall we sit on the rooftop? ”
“We don’t go on rooftops.
When I came back today, I felt the atmosphere on the street was very depressing. Let's sit under the eaves and talk. ”
"Yes, Aunt Liu lowered her voice when she spoke, and no one brought the lantern outside the courtyard gate into the courtyard.
After hearing this, Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu curiously and said, "I'll open the gate and take a look."
Shi Zelan was now accustomed to not using her spiritual sense to look into the distance. She went to the front yard, opened the gate, and saw the swaying lanterns outside the gates of the neighbors on both sides.
She said to Shi Xiaoliu who was standing at the courtyard gate: "Let's go for a walk on the street."
Shi Xiaoliu closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and the two of them walked lightly on the street, from the beginning to the end of the street. Seeing the lanterns hanging in every household, they looked at each other.
Shi Zelan took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Shi Xiaoliu: "We can stick the peace talisman and purification talisman on the lanterns to protect the safety of each family courtyard."
They walked from the end of the street to the beginning of the street, and then they returned home with peace of mind and pasted amulets for peace and purification on their own lanterns.
Shi Zelan felt much more at ease. She said good night to Shi Xiaoliu, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.
That night, the wind was strong and there was a faint sound of breaking in the wind, but the people on this street spent a very peaceful night.
When people who got up early took back the lantern, they felt that their own lantern seemed much brighter than usual after being blown outside all night.
At a time neither too early nor too late, Shi Xiaoliu went to get the lantern hanging outside the courtyard gate.
When Aunt Liu saw him, she smiled and said to him, "Xiao Liu, may the lamp spirit protect your safety. Don't bring lanterns into the yard at night these few days.
I didn’t see you and Xiaolan yesterday, and I didn’t have time to say hello to you. ”
Shi Xiaoliu laughed and said, "Aunt, I almost went to get the lantern last night, but I saw that none of you did, so I followed your lead."
"Xiao Liu, smart."
Aunt Liu couldn't help but praise Shi Xiaoliu, and asked, "What has Xiaolan been busy with at home these days?"
