No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 227 The reason to stay

Morning Lobby.

The seats in the hall were half full, and many new diners looked sideways curiously, attracted by a movement in a corner of the lobby.

But I'm not too surprised, I just think that the pair of men and women who are strangely matched but surprisingly pleasing to the eye are young couples quarreling, breaking up and reuniting.

"Sit down, senior brother."

Ouyang Rong pursed his mouth slightly, and looked sideways at the little junior sister who jumped out of nowhere.

Hearing this frightening casual remark, his right eyelid twitched violently.

sit?
Take your life and sit down.

His dark eyes rolled up slightly, looking at the felt hat above.

Xie Lingjiang seemed to have reacted, and silently retracted the plain hand that was holding the dog's head.

She sniffed again, then turned and walked to the table in the original corner, and took the monk's robes, night pearls and other things that were placed on the stool.

But the next moment.

Ouyang Rong, who wanted to sit down, ran away without saying a word.

Under the weird eyes of everyone, he rushed out of the lobby of Zaozhaiyuan, and ran like a rabbit running for his life towards Beitian Jiyangyuan.

Xie Lingjiang didn't even bother to go back, so he walked back to his original seat in the corner, bent down to pick up the monk's robe, the night pearl, etc., and patted the ashes along the way.

She turned back.

After seven breaths.

On the lawn 100 meters away from Zaozhaiyuan, a young man in soap suit was kicked and flew out like a rabbit.

The felt hats on his head were all detached from his head and flew three meters away.

"Ouch", Ouyang Rong fell to the ground.

Someone suddenly felt a little regretful, and climbed up hungry to eat the last pickled radish breakfast.

Ouyang Rong lay on the dew-covered lawn, rubbing his face with his hands, as if he was lucky that he didn't fall on the handsome face.

Good guy, the little junior sister's kick, the first time I met the junior junior sister mistakenly thought he was a thief who stole the senior brother's pearl, so the long legs gave a flying kick.

Ouyang Rong turned over, put his hands back on the ground, looked at Xie Lingjiang who was slowly approaching, biting his lips and squinting his eyes. He had a bright smile on his face, and he laughed and said:

"Hey little junior sister, why are you here too, haha ​​what a coincidence, you also eat breakfast."

Xie Lingjiang silently walked between Ouyang Rong's open legs,

stop,

squat down,

with arms around knees,

It seems to cover the squeezed and deformed bulging chest.

Her squatted delicate body leaned forward slightly, pursed her lips and sucked her nose, and stared at him sullenly:

"You run, senior brother."

Ouyang Rong immediately grimaced, and looked around, avoiding her sad little eyes.

"Why did Junior Sister come back early? Didn't it mean after the fifteenth day of this month..." he asked with a sigh.

Xie Lingjiang bowed his head, buried his pretty face in his knees, and stuffed the monk's clothes, Ye Mingzhu and other things into Ouyang Rong's arms without saying a word.

Ouyang Rong was taken aback.

Junior Sister Yuanzhong buried her head deeply, silently removed the skirt knife from her waist, and with a light "bang", she slapped the senior brother's chest with the knife and sheath.

"It's all yours, take it, don't think about it!"

Her fierce voice still had a bit of the soft crying sound from before, making her look fierce.

Like a kitten with the spirit of getting up and purring at its owner.

Ouyang Rong looked down at the things in his arms, hesitant to speak.

In the end, he turned his face away, looked towards Beitian Jiyangyuan not far away, and asked silently:
"How did little junior sister know that I would go there? Was it someone who reported it, or... did you leave me with some external sensation?"

The two squatted and sat together.

All eyes are on each other.

Xie Ling, Jiang Hongshang's clothes were wet with dew just like Ouyang Rong's soap clothes.

At this moment, she didn't care about these things, squatted down and hugged her knees, looked up at him, word by word:
"I won't tell you, but remember, no matter where you go, I can catch you, don't try to hide it from me... let's run away."

After a pause, Xie Lingjiang turned his face to the side:
"The kick just now was for Aunt Zhen and Grandfather, you... are you okay?"

Ouyang Rong frowned and nodded, looking serious:
"Something happened, this kick hit my Achilles' heel, my vitality was seriously injured, and the side leakage continued, someone needs to stop it..."

"Death spot? What is this?" Xie Lingjiang was taken aback for a moment, and his pretty face immediately revealed an eager expression. He stretched out both hands, and his eyes were distressed and self-blaming to check his body.

Ouyang Rong waved his hands, raised his head with a difficult look, and pretended to be relaxed and free-spirited:
"Don't worry, I happen to know that one person can block this dead spot. Junior sister, go and invite Master Shandao for me. He can rejuvenate me and heal me. I can hold on for a while. Go quickly, I will wait for you here... ..."

Xie Lingjiang nodded, "Okay."

Ouyang Rong lowered his head, sighed on his face, but was overjoyed in his heart, but then he found that the junior sister in front of him was motionless, still squatting in place.

Looking up, Xie Lingjiang looked at him with a straight face:
"Have you exhausted your vital energy from the death spot? Why isn't senior brother dead yet?"

Ouyang Rong stammered: "Where... how can it be so fast? Junior sister, don't be joking."

"That's fine, I'll wait until you finish leaking, hurry up." Xie Lingjiang nodded and said.

Ouyang Rong:?

You just wait for "Brother, I'm so damned open the champagne", right?
The corner of his mouth twitched.

Hey, the little junior sister is becoming less and less cute, not as serious and old-fashioned as before, cute and easy to deceive, and I don't know who led her to spoil her.

When Ouyang Rong was heartbroken, Xie Ling and Jiang suddenly asked:

"Eldest senior brother is a banished immortal who came to the world?"

Ouyang Rong was taken aback, "What exile immortal?"

Xie Lingjiang looked at the jade target white sandal knife that the elder brother pretended to be confused and slipped from his hand, pursed his lips, and asked softly:
"What's the matter with the purple air in the eyes?"

Ouyang Rong remained calm: "What are you talking about, Junior Sister?"

"It was said by the monk who stayed behind in the underground palace called 'Pure Land'."

Xie Lingjiang raised his finger and pointed to the monk's clothes, night pearls and other things in Ouyang Rong's arms:

"I just rushed there and saw the clothes you wore, as well as the precious luminous pearls that you gave me, all placed in a mess on the lotus pedestal in the center, I thought... thought that the elder brother had left."

Ouyang Rong immediately understood, no wonder the little junior sister looked like she had cried, with a haggard expression on her face...

But immediately, he was speechless again.

After finishing the psychological work for himself last night, it was already dawn when he was about to leave. Ouyang Rong heard the familiar morning bell ringing outside the underground palace.

He suddenly wondered if he should try the pickled radish from Zaozhaiyuan for the last time.

After all, you can't eat it anymore when you go back.

At least that's how he explained it to himself.

In fact, Ouyang Rong also understands that the most sensible thing to do is to immediately redeem the blessings of "Going Back and Coming".

If you can go back, give up and leave;
If you can't go back, you should give up your thoughts as soon as possible and make plans early.

However, if people can be absolutely rational, then there will be no complicated things in this world.

Before leaving the Meilin courtyard the day before yesterday, Ouyang Rong burst into anger talking to himself while watering the orchids.

Right now, as he is getting closer and closer to the blessing of "Go Back Come Come".

The original anger in my heart gradually cooled and dimmed like a hot red iron in water.

It was some kind of reluctance to leave.

The closer he was to the end, the more he subconsciously searched for the "last excuse".

Because people sometimes need such an excuse to let the mind rest temporarily.

Even if the excuse is clumsy and shoddy.

It is also in this kind of back and forth wandering that one can penetrate one's true heart and suddenly grow up at some point in the future...

So at that time Ouyang Rong withdrew his hand, temporarily took off his gray monk clothes, put on his soap clothes and felt hat again, climbed out of the underground palace, and went to the Zaozhai courtyard with ease, preparing to taste the delicious pickled radish for the last time.

It's just that Ouyang Rong didn't expect to run into Xiufa on the way, and was dragged by the little novice early in the morning to some scripture copying hall next door to investigate the abnormal noise incident of the Buddha statue on the spot.

So Ouyang Rong wandered around the scripture copying hall again, his chest stuck to his back from hunger, and his chattering hair let him go, and he went back to the lobby of Zaozhaiyuan to eat.

Then he was caught by the junior sister who appeared out of nowhere.

Thinking about it now, he should have just left the Pure Land Palace on the front foot, and the junior sister arrived on the back foot, and the two just missed it.

It's just that he was dragged to the scripture copying hall, and was delayed for a while. When he returned to the early fasting courtyard to cook, he happened to be met by the little junior sister who was lost and left the Pure Land Palace.

Ouyang Rong couldn't laugh or cry.

He looked down at Ye Mingzhu, and put it back in his sleeve.

In fact, he deliberately threw this pearl on the lotus pedestal, and it did not drop it carelessly.

And this is not a luminous pearl, but a relic burned by eminent monks.

Ouyang Rong felt that this was returning the property to its original owner, so he brought it back to the underground palace and placed it there.

So when he was preparing for his funeral at the foot of the mountain, he did not leave this bead with Ye Weilai, Xie Lingjiang, or Su Gu'er and others.

Ouyang Rong raised his head again, and said solemnly:

"The monk in the underground palace is not a left-behind monk, but a crazy monk, his name is unknown... his name is Xiuzhen, and he is Xiufa's senior brother.

"Next to the underground palace is the Beitian Ji Nursing Home for the sick, disabled, and lunatics. Xiuzhen can't stay on the ground for a moment, and likes to run into the dark underground palace, saying that there is a pure land or something, and telling everyone who comes close.

"Master Shandao and Xiufa couldn't do anything about him, so they let him go.

"So, what Xiuzhen said, Junior Sister, don't take it seriously."

Xie Lingjiang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ouyang Rong. After a while, she nodded and said:

"No wonder. The monk also said that you are in the murals in the underground palace..."

Ouyang Rong nodded, "He really flatters me."

Xie Lingjiang looked Ouyang Rong squarely in the eye:
"However, senior brother explained so much, but he still didn't say why he suddenly resigned from office and went into seclusion without saying goodbye."

Ouyang Rong stood up, and Xie Lingjiang also stood up.

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and patted the weeds on the hem of his clothes:
"Can't it be that I'm tired, advocating Taoism and thinking of seclusion, learning from Tao Yuanming before, resigning from office, and returning to the countryside?"

Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "Senior brother's behavior style has nothing to do with Taoism's 'loneliness and inaction'. Are you not such a person?"

Ouyang Rong asked: "What kind of person am I in the eyes of my junior sister?"

"Sincerity and sincerity, unity of knowledge and action."

"The unity of knowledge and action?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head and laughed at himself:
"I can't afford to say that. If I really have the unity of knowledge and action, I won't know that I have to leave, but I still hesitate and use various excuses to delay my action."

Xie Lingjiang looked serious:
"Isn't this more indicative of the unity of senior brother's knowledge and action? Because even if senior senior brother has a hundred reasons for wanting to leave, as long as there is still one reason to stay, senior senior senior brother will be hard to let go. This is the true heart of a child." , there is no room for guilt."

Ouyang Rong smiled and asked:

"Then tell me, what reason do I have to stay?"

Xie Lingjiang picked up the skirt knife and held out his hand.

A skirt knife was placed horizontally between Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang.

Xie Ling Jiang raised his hand, motioning for Ouyang Rong to take the knife again, and the words in his mouth sounded quite secondary:
"Eldest brother, thousands of people in Longcheng County need you now! You need to stand up!"

Ouyang Rong laughed and shook his head: "Junior Sister, don't make trouble."

"I'm serious!"

Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath and said with a serious face:

"You almost forgot about it just now. I ran to find you in a hurry. I learned about a big event from the fairy Yucheng. I am in a hurry!"

Ouyang Rong was stunned, seeing the expression of the little junior sister, who seemed to be deliberately making excuses to keep him, so he couldn't help asking:
"What's the urgency?"

After a pause, he looked a little dazed and said:

"Wait, Fairy Yucheng is awake? Could it be that she confessed to the Liu family? That's fine, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, little junior sister, you can just take Liulang to seize the house, and I don't need to come."

Xie Lingjiang immediately shook his head and said suddenly:

"Elder brother, there is bad news, or worse news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"what?"

Ouyang Rong was taken aback.

　coming!Sorry for being half an hour late!
