The Ji Ridge is lush and the Dragon Palace is lonely.

The building is watching the sun in the sea, and the door faces the tide of Zhejiang.

The osmanthus falls in the moon, and the fragrance floats outside the clouds.

The tower is far away, and the wood is far away.

The frost is thin and the flowers are even more prosperous, while the ice is light and the leaves are not withered.

The age of old age is still different, and searching for trouble and turmoil.

When you enter Tiantai Road, you will see Yudu Stone Bridge.

Lingyin Temple is located in the foot of Lingyin Mountain between Feilai Peak and the North Gaofeng in the northwest of West Lake in Hangzhou. It is the most incense-popular ancient temple in Jiangnan. It has a history of more than 1,400 years since its establishment and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The spring of the previous year, Emperor Kangxi visited Lingyin Temple for blessings during his third southern tour and personally mentioned the plaque of "Yunlin Zen Temple".

It is late July, and a few more days will be the Christmas of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, also known as the leader of the Netherworld in Buddhism, is the Bodhisattva in charge of the Yin sect. His Christmas is a wish to support the 100,000 lonely souls, because there are countless pilgrims from all over the world who come to do good deeds and do rituals.

The beggar who brought Cao Yong to Hangzhou, surnamed Xing, was originally a rascal rogue in Suzhou. He made friends with several brothers and ranked second among the crowd. Under the guise of begging, he made some impure money. All kinds of Buddhist birthdays in Lingyin Temple were never pulled out. Not only did he kidnap children, but he also picked up the lonely pilgrims to make money and kill them. He still had to change places after committing a crime.

The second day after Cao Yong arrived in Hangzhou, he began begging in Lingyin Temple. His health was not good, but after a few days of hard work, he went around for thousands of miles, but his legs were broken, and he had a high fever.

Xing Er placed Cao Yong on the only way to the West Lake to Lingyin Temple, and knelt aside. He rubbed his eyes with his sleeves. Ginger was applied to the cuffs, making his eyes red and swollen, echoing the sick child lying there, and it looked like a father and son who was in trouble.

The adults cried pitifully, and the child looked miserable, which made the pedestrians who came to worship Buddha feel kind-hearted. In one day, there were six or seven taels of silver in total for copper coins and broken silver.

After sunset, Xing Er returned to his nest, and the other brothers also earned a lot. Lao Qi bought a packet of steamed buns and threw them on the ground. It was a meal for several children a day. These children were tools for their money fraud, so they could not die just like this. Except for Cao Yong, who was unconscious with a high fever, the other children crawled over like puppies and grabbed one or two steamed buns with their dirty hands.

The thugs left two, and the others took the money they begged for today and went to gamble. There was a little boy about the same age as Cao Yong in the house. His face was dirty and dark. The one he broke by those people was his right arm, his left hand was still intact, protecting two steamed buns, and staying next to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong was burning and talking nonsense, but his throat couldn't make any sound. He opened his mouth and closed it up, looking strange and pitiful. The child was soft-hearted and thought that Cao Yong wanted to eat, so he tore up a small piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Cao Yong was confused and could not swallow it. The little boy took another big bowl, soaked the steamed buns in cold water, and put them into Cao Yong's mouth bit by bit.

Although Cao Yong was sick, he knew he was hungry and swallowed it randomly.

After eating their own steamed buns, the other children stared at the little boy's hand. The little boy glared at everyone and pinched his waist: "Do you want to fight?" His eyes widened, like a little rooster who was about to fight.

The other children seemed to have suffered from this boy and did not dare to be arrogant, so they had to smack their lips and swallowed and spit.

The boy fed Cao Yong and ate most of the steamed buns, and ate the rest by himself.

Cao Yong ate and slowly woke up, and a severe pain came from his legs. Although he had been a human being for two lifetimes, he had never suffered such pain, and his nose and tears were flowing out. He closed his eyes, and was extremely angry, swearing that if he escaped from here, he would definitely kill these rogues with his own hands. He began to hate Gu San and Cao Yin again, one of whom was greedy for money and the other was a fool. Suddenly, he felt a coarse cloth on his face gently wipe away his tears. He opened his eyes and a dark little face appeared in front of him.

When the boy woke up, he felt a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head with the unbreakable hand. Cao Yong remembered that someone had just fed him food, and saw an empty bowl next to the boy, and there was something like batter left in it. He knew it was him and was very grateful.

Although he woke up, Cao Yong had only one feeling, which was the pain. He thought that he might be a cripple or a mute in this life, so he wanted to die like this. However, why did he be willing to die like this? His previous life was short enough, and he had only lived for so few days in this life.

No, I have to live, Cao Yong raised his arm and touched his forehead. He was burning very hard. If he wanted to find a way to save himself, those ruffians would not be able to count on.

Seeing Cao Yong's movement, the boy stretched out his dirty little hand and touched his forehead: "Oh, it's burning a lot!"

Cao Yong's throat was so dry that he made an act of drinking water. The boy was clever and filled most of the bowl of water to feed Cao Yong.

Cao Yong's tears were about to come out, and he felt that the child was even more close to the old lady at this moment. After drinking the water, Cao Yong patted his forehead again. The boy must have taken care of the patient, threw a piece of rag with water and placed it carefully on his forehead.

Cao Yong was already numb from the pain, and felt much more comfortable on his forehead, and fell asleep again in a drowsy manner. Seeing that he was asleep, the little boy curled up beside him and closed his eyes.

Jiangning, weaving house.

It had been ten days since Cao Yong's accident. Cao Yin was so anxious that he had a lot of white hair on his temples. After the land tracking was fruitless, he and Zhuang Chang thought about whether Gu San had gone by water. They inquired in detail and found out that at noon that day, a man who was about the same height as Gu San went to Suzhou with a sick child.

Cao Yin personally led his men to Suzhou and found out in various pawn shops and gambling halls, but only found some clues. Cao Yong's accessories were redeemed, and he also knew that Gu San had won money in the casino, but the clues ended here. It was not until a few days later that Gu San's body floated out of the pond that he knew that Gu San was dead. The Li family also got news that the servants of Cao and Li families were guarding the courtyard, searching for Suzhou's urban and rural areas like nets, but they still found nothing, and Cao Yong's whereabouts became a mystery.

Li was worried that his son was already ill. The old lady was still hiding the face, just thinking that her grandson was at the home of Suzhou's mother-in-law, and she would talk about it several times all day long.

Zhuang Chang knew that Cao Yin had nothing on the surface, and was very anxious in his heart. After all, he was the only son who had been raised in his thirties. He was determined to use the power of Tongzhengsi, but he knew that Cao Yin was in a straightforward manner and would never agree to such favoritism. He secretly mentioned this matter in a secret complaint to the emperor. When Emperor Kangxi visited the southern tour, he had met Cao Yong, and of course he knew that Cao Yong, the legitimate grandson, was the lifeblood of the old lady of the Sun family. Even if he didn't look at Cao Yin, he would also care about it for the old lady of the Sun family.

Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou.

Or it was really "the old man couldn't starve to death," Cao Yong's fever slowly subsided. He laughed in his heart. It seemed that people could not spoiled. This little body was in Jiangning Weaving Mansion, and he could lose his life if he was exposed to heat. When he was disabled in Hangzhou, he was still alive. He lived a good life with half a bowl of water every day.

The wound at the broken bone was ulcerated and inflamed, and bloody and bloody. Two or three days later, Cao Yong actually saw white maggots on the wound, and he was so disgusting that he almost vomited out. However, thinking about the introduction he had read in his previous life that eating rotten meat would help relieve the wound, he let these little things arch everywhere until he felt the flesh hurt and took them away.

Day by day, the life of a beggar is boring. What Cao Yong can do is lying on the ground without moving. His eyes become sharp, and he looks at the pilgrims coming and going, and his heart is secretly planning. His throat is still unable to speak. It seems that he cannot ask for help.

One of the begging children died. I heard that they were holding the pilgrim's thigh for help, but they were kicked away like a rag. That night, the thug pulled out the child's tongue in front of the other children, and then beat him to death with sticks. The body sank into the West Lake.

Cao Yong knew that if he didn't run away in the hands of this group of people, even if he didn't die, his legs would be disabled. When there was no one at night, he used the fire under the stove to write the blood of his wounds to write the words of help in his clothes. Next, he wanted to find a truly kind person to ask for help. This person should not be too weak, otherwise if he was timid and afraid of things, he would be in vain.

When he first arrived in this world, Cao Yong was still lucky, thinking that he could live a few years of stable life with the big tree of the Cao family. He had been on the throne for more than 20 years before the Cao family was sent off. He was not even worried about the rise and fall of the Cao family. The experience of these ten days made him realize that it was better to rely on himself than anyone else, and he also realized that in ancient society, human life was as low as grass. He picked the title of Prince of the Weaving Mansion, and he was no different from the children in the same room, and they were all weak and powerless.

The child who cared for Cao Yong was named Aping, and his accent was from the person near Hangzhou. Cao Yong had difficulty in legs and feet, so every day Aping snatched steamed buns for him to eat and fed him water. Cao Yong looked at him and thought that Cao Song was all his cute little brothers, thinking that if he could escape the danger smoothly, he would definitely repay him.

Not to mention Cao Yong, just talk about Gu Na, who was living in the Cao family next to Zhuang Chang, and learned about his father's death as soon as possible. Zhuang Chang was very smart and did not want him to resent the Cao family because of his father's reasons, so he did not hide the real cause of Gu San's death. Gu Na heard that his father died in a gambling state, and did not shed tears at all, but said that he was shedding the blood of that man and always had to bring him three days of filial piety.

After returning from Suzhou disappointed, Cao Yin met Gu Na once. In addition to informing his father's burial place, he also said that he would send him to a school in another place. He is not a saint, and it would be fine if his son returned safely. If he was really surprised, how could he watch his enemy's son wandering in front of him in a peaceful state? Gu Na was just silent. Zhuang Chang was waiting for news from Beijing, so please don't be impatient.

Li lives in Cao Quan's mansion, and she burst into tears day and night, and her eyes were about to cry. Zhao Jia took care of her, and the two sisters-in-law's unhappiness disappeared. Cao Quan saw that the eldest son's house was in a difficult situation, and his only nephew was unaware of his life and death, so he whispered to his wife that if Cao Yong really had something to do, he would adopt the eldest son. Although Zhao Jia was reluctant to leave, he saw that Li was really pitiful and reluctantly agreed.
