Chapter 168 Liang Jinlan's Shocking Secret

Chapter 180 Two, Liang Jinlan's Shocking Secret

Old nun Puyun has an eye for money, and all the disciples under her are cultivators who only have the color of gold and silver in their eyes, what a nunnery and a Buddhist pure place, Jin Xi can be considered to have learned the lesson, but she just uses it to fool those It's nothing more than the practice of ignorant village women.However, Jin Xi didn't understand a little bit, since this nun is a monk, what is the purpose of accumulating money like this?Building a nunnery?It is impossible that the gate of this nunnery is dilapidated like that.Serving the country and turning it over to the treasury?That's even more impossible, could it be that they are fake nuns, collecting money to support their family?

Jin Xi suppressed the many thoughts in her heart, took out dozens of pennies from the bottom of her sleeve, and first wooed the little nun in front of her.

The little nun took the dozens of coins, secretly happy, thinking that she will return to the vulgar and get married in the future, and there will be an extra sum at the bottom of the dowry box, so she hides the dozens of coins on her body, and smiles to Jin Xi: "The benefactor is a smart man." That poor nun will guide you a little bit." After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction behind Jin Xi, saying: "The almsgiver went from here to there, walked straight in, and was watching Go to the moon gate on the left and turn in, Liang Jinlan lives there, and that yard is the yard where Mrs. Puyun lives!"

The little nun's words were full of sourness.

Jin Xi was surprised, and asked: "Liang Jinlan is not a Buddhist, shouldn't she live in the hut in front of this? How could she live in Master Puyun's courtyard?"

Jin Xi still clearly remembers that the incident between Liang Jinlan and Yang Feng happened on the night of her birthday party, April [-]th.I decided to come to Qingming Nunnery to meditate and pray for the villagers. It was after Xiao Yaya washed the Nine Dynasties, that is, in mid-July.It's the end of September now, and Liang Jinlan has been in Qingming Nunnery for more than two months without knowing it!She can survive the more than two months of recuperation?Yang Shi and Liang Yulin also held their breaths and didn't think of a way to pick them up?The more Jin Xi thought about it, the more she felt a little strange, so she asked the little nun some more questions.

With dozens of pennies to ask for directions, it was convenient for the little nun to speak now. She quietly told Jinxi that Liang Jinlan came to the nunnery in mid-July, and Puyun arranged for her to live with all the nuns and do morning classes. Evening class, working together in spare time, a vegetable garden is planted in the nunnery, and wasteland is reclaimed on the hillside behind, where sesame seeds are planted, and crops such as soybeans and mung beans are lit.In the first two days, Liang Jinlan could barely follow her homework, but her little foot was sprained in the vegetable garden, and Pu Yun knew a little bit of medical skills, so I showed her that it was a broken foot bone. I have to stay in bed for a few days.

But this time lying down, whether the bones of the feet have been recuperated is the second priority. Liang Jinlan caught the cold again. According to Pu Yun, she is still very sick and can't stop the infection.With the great selfless wish of saving a life than building a seven-level pagoda, Puyun old nun moved Liang Jinlan out of the front hut and made room for Liang Jinlan in her own small courtyard behind the scripture building. Come to the house so that she can concentrate on recuperating.

For three meals a day, a nun named Qingping from the Zhaitang personally brought them to Liang Jinlan's room.

After sending the little nun away, Jin Xi said to Jin: "Auntie, although the second mother stopped you from disturbing Sister Lan'er's Qingxiu, but now Sister Lan'er is sick, and she is still so sick, we won't go there anymore I'm really sorry to see you! After I go home, I have to tell my grandma about the news of Sister Lan'er's serious illness!"

Jin Shi also nodded, and said, "Well, let's go!"

So, the two went straight to the small courtyard where old nun Puyun lived.The Qingming nunnery itself is not big, and there are only a dozen or so old nuns in the nunnery, including Ciyun and Puyun. Take care, now that the autumn harvest has just passed, Puyun sent all the nuns out of the nunnery for alms, leaving three or two to do daily work.Therefore, Jin Xi and Jin's searched for Puyun's small courtyard, basically they didn't meet anyone, and the two of them went smoothly, and entered the Moon Gate.

Doing as directed by the little nun who watered the water just now, went straight to the second west room, Jinxi knocked on the door of that room a few times, and the voice from inside was really Liang Jinlan's voice.

"Is it Little Master Qingping? Lunch is ready so early today? Come in, the door is closed!" Liang Jinlan said in the room, her voice was a bit lazy.

Are you really coming here to be a young lady?Jin Xi thought to herself, and made eye contact with Jin Shi, Jin Shi stepped forward, pushed open the door and entered the room immediately, Jin Xi followed closely behind.

The furnishings in this room are relatively plain and simple, except for the basic daily utensils, there is nothing fussy, unlike Liang Jinlan's fancy boudoir in the old Liang's house.When Jin Xi stepped into the door, her nose smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was faint, faint, could it be that she was really sick?

Opening the door is a bed, the curtains on the bed have been dropped, and a figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed is Liang Jinlan.Jin Xi was slightly taken aback, thinking that Liang Jinlan was reciting scriptures and meditating, but when she glanced at the thick layer of melon seed skins and peanut skins on the ground in front of the bed, Jin Xi realized it.

"Qingping, why are you so heavy-handed today? I can't bear to be frightened now. I'll tell your master to take care of your...skin...Huh?" Before Liang Jinlan finished the last word, she saw Jin rushed into the house in a hurry, and said loudly: "Miss Lan, I heard that the little nun outside said that you are sick, and the aunt is here to see you!"

"Ah?" Liang Jinlan exclaimed. She was crossing her legs and put down immediately. She fell to the side and grabbed the thin quilt to cover her body, only her face was exposed.

"Big, aunt, why are you here?" Liang Jinlan's voice showed her panic at the moment.

"Your grandma sent me to ask for a lottery for your aunt. I came in Xi'er's bullock cart!" Jin said truthfully, standing in front of Liang Jinlan's bed, looking straight inside through the curtain.

"Girl Lan, are you feeling better? Are you sweating because you're wrapped so tightly?" Jin asked kindly.

"Ah? Yes, I'm sweating! Auntie, tell me, girl Xi and Xi are here too? Where is she?" Liang Jinlan's voice this time was no longer just panic, but trembling.

"Sister Lan'er, I'm here!" Jin Xi smiled sweetly and stood up from behind Jin.

"What wind brought you here?" Liang Jinlan asked Jinxi angrily. Just now she was eating melon seeds with her eyes closed and didn't pay attention to the movement at the door. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jin's idiot rushing in. I was taken aback, so naturally I didn't pay much attention to the fact that there was a person behind her!
Jin Xi greeted Liang Jinlan who was huddled in bed through a layer of curtains: "It seems that the wind is blowing from the northeast today, um, it was the wind from the northeast that brought me here!"

"Go out, don't be an eyesore in front of me, I don't want to see you here!" Liang Jinlan stretched out a hand from under the quilt, pointed in the direction of the door, and the erhu rushed Jin Xi without saying a word.

Jin Xi smiled, stood there without moving, just smiled and said: "Sister Lan'er is so fickle, we came all the way to Qingming Nunnery to worship the Bodhisattva, my cousin is now practicing here, and it is rumored that she is seriously ill and can't get up Come to bed, as a younger sister, you must come to visit, or you will feel uneasy!"

"Hmph, don't cry like a cat and pretend to be kind here, are you deliberately watching my jokes? If it weren't for you, I'd be fine at home right now, why is this! Pooh!" Liang Jinlan said angrily.

"Cousin is wrong. What happened to you today is your own fault. The flower you left behind is the best evidence. It is better to say less about such slanderous words in the future!"

"What?" Liang Jinlan was shocked, then suddenly realized, and then horrified.She finally understood why the flower could no longer be found. It turned out that it was in Jin Xi's hands. Since Jin Xi had said such a thing, she had discovered the problem in the flower, and this reason... Liang Jinlan's arrogance suddenly fell by half. .

"Why do I see my cousin living a comfortable life here? I don't know how my second uncle and mother have given Master Puyun too many benefits. Let you hide here and say it's Qingxiu, but inside you are living a young lady. On such a comfortable day, the little nun can use it as a servant girl!" Jin Xi said.

"You are talking nonsense, I don't have it, I have a hard life! I sprained my ankle, got a cold, and I can't go out, and I don't have any parents around. I haven't seen the slightest smell of oil for months. Who can tell me It's miserable for me!" Liang Jinlan hid in the bed and said angrily, she felt wronged as she spoke, and wiped her tears inside through a layer of curtains, crying so hard.

From the moment Jin entered the door, she only heard Jinxi and Liang Jinlan talking to each other. Although she couldn't get in and couldn't understand what they were saying, she was sure of one thing, that is, this cousin The two are bickering!
What's more, Liang Jinlan was crying because Jin never thought that Jinxi was bad, on the contrary, she liked Jinxi far more than Liang Jinlan, because Liang Jinlan used to run on her with Yang in old Liang's house.At this moment, seeing Liang Jinlan crying, Jin became habitually afraid, thinking of going over to persuade her a few times, she took a step forward, and her hand had already touched the curtain.

"What are you doing? Get your stinky hands away!" Liang Jinlan yelled suddenly, picked up a fan from the pillow, and slapped the back of Jin's hand hard a few times. With a painful cry, Jin backed away A few steps away, she looked at Liang Jinlan who had shrunk back into the quilt inside the tent with a puzzled expression.

Jin Xi rolled her eyes, rubbed her toes on the layer of melon seeds on the floor in front of the bed, and said, "Is my cousin really sick and can't get out of bed? Why are these melon seeds all over the place? When I first beat my aunt, The crackling sound was so loud, so full of energy, who would have imagined a sick person who couldn't even get out of bed?"

Liang Jinlan froze for a moment, annoyed that Jin Xi had caught her again, gritted her teeth, and said, "It's fine if you don't believe me, anyway, I don't want to see you, you, you get out!" Jin Shi, who was at the side, said: "And you, get lost too!"

"My cousin made a mistake and did something that insulted the old Liang family and even smeared Jinjishan Village. Everyone couldn't tolerate it, so she said that she would come to Qingming Nunnery to lead her family to cleanse her sins and pray for everyone." Jin Jin Xi smiled lightly and said: "In my opinion, my cousin's cleansing practice really has no effect at all. She is arrogant, irritable, and even beats the elders. You have committed so many sins, what should you do?"

"You crow's mouth, you can go as far as you want, go!" Liang Jinlan yelled, angrily threw a pillow on her lower back out of the tent, and threw it at Jinxi, sending the pillow flying The moment she came out, Liang Jinlan's face was exposed to Jin Xi and Jin's line of sight, Jin Xi saw a thin and slightly pale face, indeed there was a look of displeasure after illness.

Jin Xi dexterously turned her side to avoid Liang Jinlan's pillow, and said with a smile, "I'm not a ball, how can I roll? If my cousin doesn't want to see you, then I'll just go, and I won't delay your recovery!"

Mrs. Jin was frightened by Liang Jinlan's angry appearance. Seeing that Jinxi was about to leave, she hurried towards Jinxi as if dying, and said, "She beats people, it's so scary, go away!"

Jin Xi was laughed at by these words, took Jin Shi's hand, and said: "Well, I'm also afraid, let's go!" After finishing speaking, the two hurried out of Liang Jinlan's room, and something flew behind them After coming out, Jin Xi didn't look back, only heard the thing hit the ground and made a clanging sound, presumably Liang Jinlan took off the bracelet on her wrist to use it as a weapon.

Jin Xi and Jin Shi went out of the Moon Gate, and within a few steps, they met a little nun carrying a food box, about the same age as Jin Xi, who was hurrying towards this side, the two passed each other, and Jin Xi Xi also smelled a faint smell of medicine on the little nun, which was the same smell as what she smelled in Liang Jinlan's room.

When Jin went to the front, she suddenly complained of a stomachache. Jin Xi led her to the toilet. After thinking about it, she felt that there were some doubts that needed further investigation, so Jin Xi found an excuse to ask Jin to go directly to the Guanyin Hall for sending her son later. , while I quietly turned back to Puyun's courtyard, walked around to the back of the west wing, and stuck under Liang Jinlan's window to listen.

Eavesdropping is a science, a skill, and a pleasure. Of course, this skill can't be used casually, it should be used on the person who should use it. Jin Xi should regard this as her own God's perspective.

In the room, listening to the sound, Liang Jinlan should be enjoying lunch, maybe because of the tossing just now, she was so angry that Liang Jinlan couldn't eat after a few mouthfuls, so she angrily ordered Qingping to clean up the dishes.Qingping gave up after a few words of persuasion that didn't work, and then, it seemed that Qingping took out a bowl of medicinal soup, brought it to Liang Jinlan, and persuaded her to drink it.

"Qingping, go and tell Mrs. Puyun to give me a strong, ruthless shot. I don't want a small bowl of such a bitter soup every day. The teacher clearly has that strong medicine." Well, how long will it take me to avoid future troubles forever, I won't drink!" Liang Jinlan was complaining.

"Benefactor Lan, your situation is no different than that of others. If the month is younger, our master can get it off with a strong medicine, but when your mother sent you here, benefactor, it has been nearly two months. If you take a strong medicine at that time, it will still be the same. It's done, but the benefactor, you accidentally sprained your foot and then caught the wind and cold. The teacher said that if you used the strong medicine at that time, something would go wrong. I didn't expect this delay, and the month was delayed. Now, it is Never use that strong medicine!" Qingping said calmly.

"But now that I look like this, isn't there something wrong? The teacher told me to drink this medicine, and I have been drinking it for three days. My body is a little bit red, and I can't be clean after tossing to death. Just now, my damn hall I don't know how I found this place, but luckily I hid under the blanket and didn't come out, if she saw me like this, it would be a joke!" When Liang Jinlan mentioned Jinxi's name, her voice was full of enthusiasm Resentment.

"Benefactor Lan, you should listen to our teacher. She has medical skills, and she personally prepared this medicine for you. It is the right medicine for you this month. You have to take it slowly, don't rush it. Come, the soup has cooled Hurry up and drink!" Qing Ping whispered to Liang Jinlan inside, his voice was extremely low, but Jin Xi's hearing was excellent.

Liang Jinlan must have compromised. There was no voice in the room, only the sound of gurgling. After a while, Liang Jinlan should have finished drinking. When she handed the medicine bowl back to Qingping, she still reminded her: " What about the dregs?"

"Benefactor Lan, don't worry, Master and I often do these good things for pilgrims to expel troubles. We have our own rules. I will bring you the dregs of the medicine every day, and when I go out, I will bury the dregs of the medicine in you." Under that pine tree behind the house, no one will see." Qing Ping whispered, Jin Xi squinted her eyes, hearing this, although she is not very old, she is still very experienced in doing these things with Pu Yun.

What a Puyun old nun, Jin Xi yelled secretly, thinking you were just collecting money and looking down on others, I didn't expect you to be so capable, the dignified place of Buddhism was turned into a private clinic by accident, and you even received medical advice. Aborting someone privately?The best! The best!
Liang Yuzhong fulfilled her wish, and Sun Yuxia received Puyun's personal blessing. Although Jin's family was a little frightened and unhappy with Liang Jinlan, she was confused and forgetful, so she came out of the nunnery and went to the maple forest. Back outside, except for Jin Xi, everyone's eyes and faces were full of joy.

At the foot of the mountain, where Jin Xi and the others parked their ox carts and horse carts, Wen Ding was already waiting there.

From time to time, pilgrims descended the mountain in twos and threes, and there were small vendors on both sides of the road buying all kinds of incense paper and firecrackers. Standing there, Wending undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.The few women walking in front of Jin Xi and the others had met in the nunnery before. They came from Fenglin Town, and two of them came here to pray for marriage for their daughters.

Wending was standing not far from the intersection where he descended the mountain, holding a horsewhip in his hand, with a tall and straight figure, as graceful as a jade.

Liang Yuzhong raised his hand, and was about to say hello to Wending over there, when the women in front suddenly said something, which made Liang Yuzhong and his group give a pause.

"Look quickly, that young man is really handsome, like someone walking out of a painting!" The women walking in front of Jin Xi and the others were talking in low voices. They were all women from peasant families, not those noble wives. their upbringing and modesty.

"Ah, it's so beautiful. I've never seen such a handsome man. Hey, if my daughter can marry such a son-in-law, I'll wake up from my dreams with laughter! Speaking of which, such a handsome man, How could you like those country girls in our family? It's useless to think about it!" Another woman covered her mouth and smiled, and the companions who came together started joking.

"It's your daughter who married a man, not you. I think you are happy. If you really want to wake up laughing in your dreams, your man will not have to grab you and beat you up. He will say that you are having a dream, and you will wake up laughing in your dream... It's not like you two haven't had such a hard time..." The women of the farmers were full of wildness, and soon the topic changed from Wending, and the gang started booing.

"You murderer, do you have a reason to bury me like this? You don't want a man? I don't know whose family was watching melons in the watermelon field on that summer night, and even on the cool bed in the melon shed. Do it once, it's so loud... My god, the villagers who went to put water in the cotton field heard it all, why are you so hungry and thirsty if you don't want a man?"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, laugh at me about this again, don't laugh at me, you won't be much better, that time..."

"Okay, all of you, calm down, we are here to worship the Bodhisattva, and we have just walked out of the door for a few miles, so we are not afraid to offend the Bodhisattva!" One of them seemed to be a little older. After some exits to smooth things over, the women stopped and talked about other parents' short stories and came out of the maple forest.

The warm afternoon sun shone down from above his head, and he was bathed in the mild late autumn sunlight, his handsome facial features seemed to be coated with a soft golden glow.Black horse with a mysterious aura, black hair dancing in the wind, elegant and handsome, with a jade-like smile on the corner of his mouth, looking towards Liang Yuzhong and them, his eyes passed everyone calmly, and finally It landed on Jin Xi who was walking at the rear.

Jin Xi listened to the women's jokes just now, and seeing Wending standing there smiling at her from a distance, her heart was warm and proud, and she also raised the corners of her mouth at him far away, showing Yan Yixiao.

When they got closer, Wen Ding and Liang Yuzhong exchanged a few words, and then got into their carriages and horses, and Jin Xi got into an ox cart.

When the cow was resting at the foot of the mountain, it once had an unpleasant conflict with a cow in a bullock cart next to it. It took a lot of effort for the shop assistant who guarded the cattle cart to pull the two big guys apart, so this meeting Zi Jinxi's bull has not calmed down yet, with scarlet eyes, sticking out its hooves, as if the boss is not happy, and the master is going to strike at any time.
Liang Yuzhong cherished the cattle and was reluctant to fight them, so he reasoned with the cattle on the sidelines. When Jin Xi got on the cattle cart, the cattle slammed, and the back of the carriage suddenly moved, almost knocking Jin Xi off. Fortunately, Wen Ding With quick eyes and quick hands, he was supported from behind.

"Dead cow!" Jin Xi cursed with a smile, stood up straight, took the whip in Wending's hand, and pointed it at the angry cow at home, and hit the whip loudly, loudly and crisply, and Liang Yuzhong said, "Don't... …' As soon as he said it, the whip fell, Liang Yuzhong was taken aback, looked again, and he was relieved, the whip Jinxi was on the ground, and it didn't even fall on the cow.However, the bull was frightened, staring at Jin Xi with his eyes snorting heavily, but he didn't dare to make any further moves.

"Don't bully you, you bully back. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. It's just a fight. As for throwing your temper at us like this? It's useless!" Jin Xi grabbed the bully by the nose. , reprimanded loudly.
