Chapter 109 Siblings

  Hearing that the two children wanted to go to the back mountain for a stroll, Liu Zhihua looked at the sun, but it was still early.

   "It's okay to take you there, but you must obey mother's orders. If your father finds those two girls on the way, we won't go." Liu Zhihua discussed with them in advance.

   "...um." Jiaojiao pouted and nodded.

   Erya reluctantly said: "Okay."

Seeing that the two little girls were unhappy, Liu Zhihua smiled and nodded their foreheads, and coaxed softly: "Mother shouldn't take you to run around, if we go far away, you should worry if your father comes back and can't find him." gone."

   "Mother, why don't you take my little sister to the back mountain to see the peach trees, and I'll go find my father." Erya said sensiblely to her mother.

"no."

Liu Zhihua refused without even thinking about it, and tightened Erya's hand and said: "You don't worry about going to mother alone, what if you lose it, your father is such a big person, you can't lose it, our mother has to be together three times , the big deal is to delay the return journey.”

  Jiaojiao nodded. Although my sister is smart, she is still a child. She said in a waxy voice, "Sister is important, let's take our time, don't rush."

  Liu Zhihua heard about it, kissed her sweetheart in a rare way, and said with a smile: "My dear baby is right, the safety of my sister is the most important thing."

  Hearing about mother and younger sister's concern, Erya shyly grabbed the shofar braid, pursed her lips and raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Well, then I won't go to see dad."

   "Okay, you all be good, my mother will take you to see the peach tree in a while, oh, my mother was taken away by you, there is no peach blossom in this season, and the peach tree fruit is not yet ripe..."

  The three mother and daughter walked towards the back mountain while talking.

   After walking for a long time, I met a tall monk.

  Liu Zhihua hurried forward and asked: "This master, you came from the direction of the back mountain, but did you see the two girls?"

  The monk's face was light, and he looked at the mother and daughter three times, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

Liu Zhihua didn't notice the abnormality of the monk, but explained with a smile: "The two girls came with us. We were ready to go back after worshiping the Buddha, but we couldn't wait for them to show up, so we wanted to look for them. Master has seen it?"

   "No, the back mountain is the residence of Buddhist disciples, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please come back." The monk said lightly.

"But just now the monk outside the door said that seeing them coming from the back mountain and not returning for so long, they must have entered the back mountain. Please let us go in and look for them, Master." Liu Zhihua spoke kindly to him discussed.

  The man's expression remained indifferent, "Idlers are not allowed to enter."

   It was the first time that Liu Zhihua met such a difficult-to-talk monk, and she immediately blushed and had a thick neck.

   "Benefactor, these guests are Master Xuyi's guests, please leave now."

Suddenly, a monk came out from the back of the mountain. Compared with the younger monks, he was older and had a more mature and stable face. The monk robes he wore were washed white, and the style was slightly different from ordinary monk robes. blue.

  Liu Zhihua remembered his appearance, it was the monk who followed Master Xuyi that day when he first saw him, his face became a little excited, and he softly called out: "Master."

  The tall man known as the benefactor didn't say much when he heard it. Seeing that they knew each other, he turned around and headed back towards the mountain.

  The monk didn't say much when he saw this, he walked over and nodded with Liu Zhihua, put his palms together and explained: "This person is a practitioner with hair in the temple, and his temper is a bit cold, but he is not a bad person. It is true that outsiders from the back mountain of the temple are not allowed to enter."

  Liu Zhihua hugged Jiaojiao and nodded to express her thanks, and said with a smile, "Thank you, master, for helping us out. If you don't let us in, we won't go in. Don't be embarrassed."

  The monk clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk is gone. There are many trees in the back mountain and there are only a few houses. If the benefactor is really in a hurry to find someone, it's okay for the poor monk to let you go in and have a look."

Liu Zhihua's eyes lit up when she heard this, she nodded quickly and said: "Master, I really came here to find someone, if it's not convenient, you can help me find out, those two women came in our carriage, the master is of medium size, The veil covers the face, and there is a fat little girl next to her who looks very festive, with a mole at the corner of her mouth."

  Seeing how detailed and earnest she was, Ji Le never doubted her, but he had never seen the woman in the description, and because the abbot was in seclusion, he took care of things in the temple on his behalf, so he had no time to find someone for them. I can only say: "Benefactor, since this is the case, then you go in and look for it yourself, and it is better to avoid houses when you pass by the house."

  Liu Zhihua nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, thank you Master."

   In this way, the mother and daughter entered the back mountain.

   Jiaojiao felt the spiritual energy, so she asked her to walk in the direction of the spiritual energy, "Mother, go this way, mother, go further ahead..."

   After finally getting to the bamboo forest, Jiaojiao heard someone on the nearby tree with keen ears.

   "Mum~ I'm so tired, Jiaojiao wants to drink water." Jiaojiao asked people to stop on purpose.

Liu Zhihua patted his forehead, and panicked: "Hey, what can I do, mother left the water bag on the carriage, why don't we go out, we haven't touched them all the way, maybe your father has already Found it."

  Jiaojiao shook her head, "Jiaojiao wants to rest."

   Seeing this, Liu Zhihua had no choice but to put her daughter on the ground, and looked around to see if there were any wild fruits that could quench her thirst.

   "Mother, there is a beautiful red courtyard in front of you." Arya pointed to not far away and shouted.

  Liu Zhihua looked at it casually, and then sighed, and said in surprise: "It's true, it's the first time I've seen such a gorgeous house wall color."

  Walking along the way, the houses they saw on the way were all gray without exception. When they suddenly saw such a bright courtyard, they would really take a second look.

  Jiaojiao also looked over, the first thing she noticed was the cat lying on the wall, even though it was wrapped in green leaves, she still recognized Meow at a glance.

  Suddenly, Meow Miao jumped up and quickly slipped away.

   Immediately afterwards, Jiaojiao heard familiar voices, the voices of Liuliu and the older sister who was in the carriage just now.

   "Fourth sister, people who are used to idleness don't like to see guests, so don't come next time."

  The man's cynical voice was slightly lazy.

   "Xiao Liu, the more you are like this, the more the fourth sister will come next time. Treat me as a guest today, maybe tomorrow you won't remember who I am."

  The woman's voice is soft, and she speaks very skillfully and neatly.

   "No delivery."

   "Xiao Liu, I think back then when you broke Dad's favorite luminous cup, Fourth Sister was whipped to protect you, and she wore a veil for three years..."

   "...Fourth sister, I can't take you out."

   "That's right, Fourth Sister came all the way to visit you, it has nothing to do with parents, don't be impatient..."

  Following the woman's chatter, there was only a squeak, and the gate of the courtyard was opened from the inside.
