Chapter 124 (1/2)
How can that work!
The Taoist said that both must go. It's useless to go alone.
Wu's headache was torn by nightmares. When he heard this, he couldn't agree.
But she cried: ”mother also wants to keep your sister, but the old lady said, what can mother do? I can't ask Xi'er to disobey her elders? My Xi'er is the most filial. I can't do such a thing, so I have to endure it as a mother.”
Then he covered his face with a handkerchief: ”my Xi'er, the temple is poor. How can you stand it when you go!”
Hearing this, Chu Xi's face was black and white, and she even forgot to wipe her tears.
Fortunately, mother Cao urged that the time had come and it was time to set out on the road. Wu was reluctant to let go.
Looking at the weeping eyes of the Wu family, Chu Zhi chuckled. I hope their mother and daughter will have such deep feelings in the future.
Chu Xi knew that Chu Zhi had just deliberately embarrassed her.
On the way, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage and keep pace with Chu Zhi.
She lifted the curtain and sneered, ”don't think I don't know what you're up to. Chu Zhi, wait for me. I'll make you cry and beg me!”
Chu Zhi didn't even give her a look, and Chu Xi's face turned blue.
Mother Cui said, ”can you see, miss? Now five girls don't pay attention to you more and more. It's better to start than to be treated like this by her.”
Chu Xi drooped her eyes and said nothing.
Mother Cui was worried: ”what are you hesitating about, girl? If today's place and people are harmonious, and so many people help you, you're still afraid of her...”
Chu Xi suddenly looked back, and mother Cui swallowed the remaining three words ”farmgirl”.
”... a little girl without support?”
”I know what to do.”
Mother Cui was relieved.
But Chu Zhi waited for several days, but Chu Xi didn't move.
Dong Er couldn't help asking, ”girl, can you guess wrong?”
”Just wait,” Chu Zhi said.
”Oh.” Dong'Er said, ”just now the little monk in the yard said that the flowers enshrined in the three treasures hall are gone. Ask Miss, are you still going today? She also said that Miss Liu has gone to pick rootless water.”
The monks in the temple received a letter from the Chu house. Knowing that the two girls came to pray for their relatives in the house, they asked them to go to the back mountain every day, one to pick flowers and the other to pick rootless water. They can accumulate merit and virtue by worshipping them in front of the Buddha every day.
Chu Zhi put down his pen and handed the copied Dharma Sutra to the little monk outside: ”please understand, little master.”
Huiwu was an eight year old child. Seeing Chu Zhisheng's moving face and amazing appearance, like the flying Fairy on the mural, he couldn't help blushing and stammered, ”yes, yes.”
Seeing him so shy, Chu Zhi couldn't help laughing.
In recent days, for convenience, the temple has sent a little master of enlightenment.
Understanding, clever and sensible, they have great wisdom at a young age, but they are easy to be shy.
Now, seeing Chu Zhi smile, it looks like a hundred flowers bloom, ice and snow melt, and it looks like a mountain stream and clear spring. Huiwu quickly held the Scriptures and turned and ran away.
While running, he said in his mouth: ”empty is color, color is empty, empty is color, color is empty...”
Dong Er, who was so funny, couldn't help laughing: ”little master Huiwu is really cute.”
Chu Zhi took Dong'Er back to the mountain and passed the meditation room. Little master Huiwu ran again.
”Benefactor Chu, benefactor Chu...” the little meeting caught up and said, ”elder martial brother just said that the west mountain is doing something and asked you to go to the east mountain.”
”OK, I see.” Chu Zhi smiled and handed out his handkerchief. ”Little master, your head is sweating. Wipe it quickly!”
Understanding blushed and stepped back, ”no, No.”
