In order to buy things for Cheng Chuncai, Forsythia went out early in the morning. After all, their place was a bit far away, and they had to buy a lot of things. If they arrived late, they might not have any good ones left.
After Forsythia went out, Chengchun sat in the house for a long time and finally decided to go to the temple on the top of the mountain.
When climbing the mountain, Chengchun found that her physical strength seemed to be worse than before. By the time she climbed to the top of the mountain, she was out of breath. But before she reached the door of the temple, the little novice monk had already opened the door.
Door.
"Donor, master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chengchun responded and walked in.
It’s still the same wing, and it’s still the same old monk.
When she came in, the old monk was just sitting there. He didn't say anything when he saw her coming, and he still sat there.
Chengchun sat with the old monk for almost a quarter of an hour, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Master, I have to leave!"
The old monk slowly opened his eyes at this time: "Water or land?"
"Waterway!" Chengchun looked at the old monk, "Can't you figure out how I want to walk?"
The old monk glanced at Cheng Chun, and then said with a smile: "I'm not a fortune teller. What you do depends on how you will fare?"
Chengchun didn't say anything, just looked at him blankly.
"Don't take the water route!" The old monk picked up the teapot on the side and poured himself a cup of tea. "You are not suitable for taking the water route!"
"It takes a long time to walk by land, and we have to take the official road. I'm afraid of being found out!" Cheng Chun was a little reluctant.
"You still have to listen to what the old monk says!" The old monk looked at Cheng Chun, "Only the obedient children will have sweets!"
Although she was not very willing, she still agreed. It was not until later that she remembered the purpose of her coming today: "By the way, I actually came here to thank you. They said it was you who sent me the medicine that saved my life."
My life, although it’s not good to say this in front of you, but actually I don’t believe in the so-called gods and Buddhas, or the so-called causes and effects of past lives, but I think you are an old monk with good medical skills.
, so I still want to thank you!”
Huide looked at Chengchun for a long time and suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about finding your real parents?"
Cheng Chun paused: "My parents are very good to me, I don't need any real parents!"
Huide looked into Chengchun's eyes and finally smiled: "You hate them very much, but if one day you find that they have done nothing wrong and they just have no choice, what will you do?"
"There is no way? Who in this world would throw away a child?" Cheng Chun smiled bitterly, "There is no way, and Su Xubai has no way to protect me. So since there is no way to protect me, then he will do it from the beginning.
There is no need to provoke me, and the same goes for them. If they couldn't raise me, they shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place!"
Huide looked at Chengchun's stubborn look, and then poured a cup of tea for Chengchun: "The world is so big, the world is suffering, there are always unspeakable sufferings in this world, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of water, there is nothing you can do about it, little one
Girl, you are still young, and when you see the big world, you will understand that having no choice is the normal state of life."
Chengchun listened to the great principles Huide said. She listened carefully, without any disrespect, but she didn't really hear it.
Huide didn't stay with her, but just when he was about to leave, he said: "Go south, walk all the way, and you can go home! This is your way home, and it is also the road you are waiting for in life. You can choose whatever way you go.
It’s in your own hands!”
Chengchun didn't know why, but he still agreed.
On the way back, Chengchun stood on the path, looking at the scenery at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly asked: "Hongdou, did you hate it when your parents sold you?"
Hongdou paused, then shook his head: "If you sell me, everyone can live. If you don't sell me, everyone will die. There is really no way to sell me!"
Chengchun didn't speak, but walked slowly down: "Let's take the official route!"
Although Hongdou made a strange choice and why he suddenly changed his route, he still nodded: "Okay!"
Forsythia turned out to be an auspicious day in the zodiac. Either the weather was bad or the days were bad, so she didn't leave until the vernal equinox.
Chengchun combed her hair into a girl's bun, wore coarse clothes, and got into a carriage.
This carriage is going to the next town. When they get to the next town, they have to change to a rental car agency, then change to a carriage, and then go to the next town.
Sitting on the carriage, Chengchun opened the curtain and looked at the bustle outside, feeling a little emotional.
Hongdou sat there and took inventory of his luggage again uneasily, but he found a small baggage, which contained a letter and a banknote.
Cheng Chun quickly opened the letter, which was given to her by Meng Shaoqing. The letter said that he would send someone to drink first, and the officials in each town would say hello so that they could go as smoothly as possible along the way. As for the banknote, it would be regarded as hers.
money for the journey.
Chengchun felt a little uncomfortable, wondering what kind of virtue she had to be able to receive such care from him.
When leaving the city, officers and soldiers came up to check the fish tags.
Chengchun was a little nervous, but he still obediently handed over the fish tags he had prepared. The officers and soldiers looked at it carefully and then let him go!
After leaving the capital, Chengchun felt his heart drop.
"Girl, you take a nap!" Hongdou looked at Chengchun and said softly, "I'm watching from here!"
Cheng Chun shook his head: "I can't sleep. We came out early. Maybe we can go to the next town before it gets dark. Then we can find a better inn to stay for a while. We can go there again during the day tomorrow.
Find a car!”
"Okay!" Hongdou agreed with a smile, "We can finally go back to Jiangnan."
Chengchun also laughed: "Yes, it has been more than a year, and I don't know what Guoer looks like now. He must have grown a lot taller!"
Hongdou held her cheeks and began to think about the future: "When we return to Jiangnan, it happens to be summer, and we can pick lotus pods, catch fish, and make West Lake vinegar fish!"
"Have you ever been to the ground?" Chengchun looked at Hongdou and asked with a smile.
"Of course it happened!" Hongdou said quickly, "It's just that I was young at that time, and later I became a girl, and all I did was yard work!"
"Then let's go there. There is a lotus field on our village. I used to go there to pick lotus pods. The lotus pods there are so tender!" Cheng Chun couldn't help laughing when he thought of the past.
Hongdou looked at Chengchun's smile and suddenly felt a little dazed. She hadn't seen such a heartfelt smile in Chengchun for a long time: "Girl, you haven't smiled so happily for a long time!"
Cheng Chun paused, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Who says it's not the case?"
