Chapter Ten Can't Hide
But Gao Qiu only took two steps, and when he was just walking side by side with the little monk, his clothes were grabbed by someone.
Gao Qiu looked down and saw a chubby little hand holding his clothes. The owner of the hand was the little monk beside him. "I said, are you looking for trouble? I was hit by you, I don't want to hold you accountable and leave directly. Why, do you still want to hold me accountable?"
"No...no...no! Donor, do you know where Daxiangguo Temple is?"
Maybe he was very familiar with this sentence, and the young monk didn't stutter at all when he was asking for directions.
"Daxiangguo Temple? Go south, where is the south city!"
There was no holiday at all, so it was no problem to point the little monk in a way. After pointing to the south, Gao Qiu wanted to go over to the little monk and go back to his home.
But this time he didn't even raise his foot, so Gao Qiu's body stopped again because a carriage was parked beside him.
The curtains on the side of the carriage were lifted up, revealing a beautiful face. It was Li Shishi who sent Gao Qiu home today. "Haha! I didn't expect to meet the young master here. The young master said he wanted to treat me to tea before. I wonder if it's now?"
"Ahem! Then what, don't we talk about another day? You've only seen one day." Facing women, especially women who are obviously not easy to mess with, Gao Qiu was afraid of it. After defending her, she casually pulled the little monk aside and added again: "By the way, this little monk is lost. I want to take him to find a way. It's really inconvenient today. Look at what we'll do next day?"
"Look for a way? Then just ask me? There is really no street in Bianliang City where I have never turned. Come on, get in, where I want to go, I will take you there!"
Li Shishi's face was filled with smiles, as if she was deliberately embarrassing her mouth, and she raised the corners of her mouth as if she was deliberately looking at Gao Qiu.
"Then what, he is a monk, it's not very convenient."
At this time, except for the little monk behind him, he was a flower monk wearing a loyal and generous skin, Gao Qiu had no other way.
"Then...that..."
The little monk stood behind Gao Qiu, seemed to be a little moved and started shouting.
"You are a monk! What about 'this', 'this'! Shut up!"
He used some strength to grab the little monk's arm. Gao Qiu didn't want to hurt the little monk, but wanted him to shut up.
"No!" The little monk shook his sleeves, broke free from Gao Qiu's palm, folded his hands together, performed a Buddhist ceremony to Li Shishi, and then said, "The little monk has a letter here. The master asked me to send it to an old friend in Tokyo. Since the donor is knowledgeable, please help me deliver this letter. I wonder if the donor can help me?"
"I'll go! You're so skillful!"
If you didn't know that the little monk had no need to lie to him, Gao Qiu would really think he was teasing him.
Unfortunately, the young monk handed the letter to Li Shishi directly, but Gao Qiu didn't see what was written on the envelope clearly, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. After all, everyone has the heart of gossip!
After taking the letter from the little monk, I didn't know what Li Shishi saw, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If it were someone else's letter, I wouldn't be able to deliver it, but I must help this person's letter. The little monk, just teach me!"
"Thank you...thank you...thank you!"
It took a lot of effort to say thank you. The little monk didn't plan to say anything else after the word "donor".
"Okay, it should be. Are you grateful?" Li Shishi waved his hand, obviously not taking the matter to heart. He turned his head to look at Gao Qiu, and Li Shishi smiled, "Haha, Mr. Gao, the little girl has something to do now and can't be invited to have tea again, so... will we see you another day?"
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Gao Qiu, who wanted Li Shishi to leave immediately, didn't care about too much at this time, so he nodded quickly.
However, Gao Qiu ignored it. He had never told Li Shishi who he was, but how could Li Shishi know that her surname was Gao?
However, Gao Qiu was unwilling to think about it. After saying goodbye to Li Shishi, he relaxed. But just as he turned around and was about to leave, the fat monk grabbed him.
"What? What are you going to do?"
I just used the little monk to block a "catastrophe". At this time, Gao Qiu was not too arrogant, but the impatientness in his heart could not be suppressed.
"Donor! You...you just said that you took the monk to...go...go...go...go to Daxiangguo Temple!"
The little monk still stuttered, but it was not easy to be able to say a complete sentence.
"You little monk is really a monk who jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements. Do you think it's appropriate for me to be a worldly person?"
In theory, Gao Qiu could not refute this little monk, but in terms of tricking skills, Gao Qiu was better than most people in this era.
"Amitabha, donor, go back on his word. This is a violation of the precept of lies. I hope the donor will think three...three...three...three!"
At the beginning, the little monk said something very smoothly, but at the last sentence, he began to stutter again.
Looking at the young monk's excited appearance, Gao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his hand and pressed it on the little monk's mouth, and said, "Okay! I didn't expect that you, the little monk, would be so smooth when you were playing the game. Even if I was afraid of you, don't say anything. Let's go to Daxiangguo Temple quickly. I will go home after taking you there!"
"Thanks……"
Seeing that Gao Qiu was relieved and was willing to take him to Daxiangguo Temple, a smile immediately appeared on the little monk's face.
However, before the little monk could thank him, Gao Qiu raised his hand again to block the little monk's mouth, "Okay! Don't stutter with me here again? With this time, we have arrived at Daxiangguo Temple now, do you know?"
"good!"
It was straightforward and neat, the little monk did not look like he was stuttering just now.
"Hey? You... are right, and there is really nothing to stutter if you say a word."
I was a little uncomfortable with the little monk's happy answer. Gao Qiu wanted to ask, but then he thought about it and figured it out again.
Daxiangguo Temple, originally named Jianguo Temple, was built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was named Daxiangguo Temple by Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty. At this time of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also a temple respected by the royal family. It has been expanded many times and now it should be regarded as the largest temple in the world. In other words, Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, Tokyo is actually the activity center of Buddhist personnel across the country.
Every year when I come to Tokyo Bianliang from other places, there are countless monks who hold orders at Daxiangguo Temple. However, for the normal development of the temple, half of the monks who come from outside are not allowed to hold orders in the temple. Unless there are monks with serious teachers, it is difficult to spend the night in Daxiangguo Temple.
Gao Qiu didn't care about the origin of the little monk at all, so after he took him to the door of Daxiangguo Temple, he started walking home alone.
You know, although Daxiangguo Temple is considered to be in Bianliang City, it is only in a relatively remote place in the inner city, and it is still quite a short distance from the truly prosperous place. If it is next to it, it would be fine to walk here alone. After all, Daxiangguo Temple is full of incense and has a large number of people, so nothing can happen easily. But now it is getting darker now, with Gao Qiu's body, it is really unsafe to wander outside alone.
Finally, he walked back to the door of his house before dark. Before he could breathe evenly, Gao Qiu was stunned again. Next to the door of Gao Qiu's yard, there was a carriage parked. Whether it was the style of the carriage or the coachman curled up in a ball, Gao Qiu was too familiar with it - this was Li Shishi's carriage!
I have already walked to the gate of my yard, and it is already evening. Gao Qiu has no place to go if he doesn't go in.
He swallowed with difficulty, and in line with the principle of "stretching the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife", Gao Qiu pretended to be brave enough to push open his own courtyard door.
The courtyard is not big. In Tokyo Bianliang City, such a courtyard is actually comparable to a courtyard on the side of the Second Ring Road of the capital in later generations. Of course, unlike the courtyard, the use of this small courtyard is now in the hands of Gao Qiu alone. The gate of the courtyard is south, and the kitchen is on the east side, three main rooms are in the north, two wing rooms are in the west, and the toilet is in the northwest corner.
As soon as Gao Qiu entered the yard, he saw Zhang Qian and Wu Song squatting at the door of his room with their hands in their arms, muttering and not knowing what they were saying.
While Gao Qiu saw Zhang Qian and Wu Song also saw Gao Qiu. However, for some reason, neither of them said hello, and walked carefully to the gate of the courtyard wall and approached Gao Qiu.
"I said, what's wrong?"
After Zhang Qian and Wu Song made the atmosphere so tense, Gao Qiu became cautious and lowered his voice and asked.
"What's wrong? If you don't know what's wrong, we won't know even more."
Zhang Qian shrugged his shoulders, his face full of helplessness. If it weren't for the little money given by Gao Qiu at noon, he and Wu Song would have gone to the yamen to find someone to have a meal now.
"No, Zhang Qian, this is wrong! Young Master, how do I treat you? You touch your conscience. Now that something has happened, are you just sitting there without paying attention?"
It was obvious at a glance that Zhang Qian was perfunctory, and Gao Qiu was immediately unhappy, but he didn't dare to speak loudly even if he was worried about the two people in the house.
"Sit down and watch? Young Master, if it's other things, whether it's going to the mountain of swords or the sea of fire, if I, Zhang Qian, frown, I will not be raised by my father and mother. But for this matter... Young Master, I would like to advise you, you should ask for blessings!"
Zhang Qian curled his lips, but did not take Gao Qiu's words to heart.
