”I'm not eating anymore, Brother Liang, I'm pouring everything out, don't cry anymore.” I had never seen anything like this before. The older men were crying so hard that they didn't even make a sound. It really made me feel at a loss for what to do.
”It's all wasted …” All three of us had a bowl of white rice soaked in water in front of us. Luckily, I don't really care about what I eat, as long as I can eat my fill, I can tell that Brother Liang is really sad, and only stopped twitching after crying for half a day.
When I saw that Brother Liang's mood had returned to normal, I dared to speak to him. ”Brother Liang, what mission did you and Yin Kong come out for this time?” Brother Liang said, ”Yes, according to the usual practice, Master did not allow us to go out for a few days. There is a family that was sent to settle some matters, and thus we were allowed to come out. It is not far from here, so after today's matter is over, I will come over to your place to see if you are here.” And a fast. ” Yin Kong continued.
Speaking of Brother Liang's master, I have only heard him say it before, but I have never seen him in person. However, I can see that Brother Liang's reverence towards Old Buddhist Abbot is obvious, ”Oh, I saw him yesterday when I was walking out. That family on the other side of the street, they seem to be very powerful.” ”No, the one two streets away won't tire me out.”
After saying that, I remembered that they were indeed from two different families. ”That's not too lucky. In such a close location, there are two different families hosting a funeral at the same time. The atmosphere these few days isn't quite right.” I sighed, and Yin Kong said: ”It's not just two families, but three families, and another family also died.”
Three families? How could it be such a coincidence? The three families being so close together all encountered troubles in the past few days, and it was rather inconceivable. I asked the Brother Liang, ”Brother Liang, have these three families come looking for you yet?” Furthermore, Yin Kong and I are tired, so we thought of resting for a few days before going back to his house to take a look. Since we've seen it, we can help a single person out. ”
The Brother Liang looked like a monk made of meat and wine, but in reality, he had the kind heart of a buddha. The two of us knew each other because he gave Ye Mei superhuman kindness, and there were very few people who would have such kindness.
The person who said it didn't have any intention to it, Brother Liang and Yin Kong didn't seem to have any thoughts, but I somehow didn't understand, could it really be such a coincidence? A strong sixth sense told me it wasn't that simple.
Brother Liang, who were those two families?” I asked, and Brother Liang said, ”The first family was a pregnant woman with a child in her womb, two lives were lost, the second family was an old man. When I went there, I felt some resentment, but today, after three days, the resentment has been resolved, and the old man left with a heart attack at night. He must have had some unfulfilled wish, or perhaps he left too suddenly, someone he wanted to see, the third family …” The third family is a baby, just a few months old. ” ”He cut in.
Brother Liang does have some cultivation experience, but he didn't see anything special about it. It might be just a coincidence, since there's no such thing as absolute power in the world, but I still felt a bit uncomfortable. The surroundings were lifeless for a few days, and there weren't many people walking around.
Haozi, if you have nothing better to do today, come with me. There have been a lot of people praying in the temple these few days. Master said that it was the day of a certain Earthly Immortal's celebration. ”Brother Liang said,” I found that he ate quite cleanly, without a single grain of rice in his bowl.
”That's right, that's right. Come with us. There's a lot of people.” I don't know why, but it might be because of the young and lively Yin Kong, but I realized that the Brother Liang is becoming more and more stable.
”Mm, fine, when are we leaving? You two must be tired.” I see that Brother Liang's eyes are a little tired, Yin Kong said: ”I'm not tired, let's quickly go back, there's no point waiting for a few more people.” Brother Liang said lightly: ”It's alright, I'm not too tired.”
After greeting Senior Sister, Brother Liang Yin Kong and I walked towards the temple. After walking past two streets, I saw that one of the houses had its doors tightly shut, and could vaguely see white cloth fluttering inside. That should be the family that held the funeral, right?
”Let's go, it's going to be dark soon.” Yin Kong urged her to come and grab my hand. I promised to turn my head and quicken my steps, but when I turned my head, I saw something on the roof of that house from the corner of my eyes. I looked again, and saw a black bird flying far away. The crow, perhaps, disappeared in a flash.
”Brother Hao, when we get to the temple, I'll ask my master to give you a big red packet.” Yin Kong said, and I said, ”There's no need for that, right? How can I ask for his red packet?” ”It's alright, Master gave a lot of people red packets.” The Brother Liang replied, ”That's not called a red packet, it's a prayer for peace.”
After walking for a while, we finally arrived. The temple door was bustling with people, and it was indeed busier than usual. The three of us walked through the crowd.
Aiyo, I'm sorry.” That person wore a large cap and his face was covered with a veil. It was obvious that he was a woman, so he didn't say anything. He only nodded his head slightly, accepting the apology and soon disappeared into the crowd.
