Chapter 73
Lan Yun'er assassinated the current patriarch of her clan and caused his death by poisoning, which is a capital crime punishable by law. And because she was in a delirious state at the time, she could be considered a victim, and there were many good-hearted people.
Helping her plead for mercy, her father, Senior Brother Zhang, had no choice but to throw her to the "Faxing Temple" to repent.
In order to prevent the girl from being disturbed by outsiders or from sneaking out, Senior Brother Zhang locked her in the small courtyard where Yu Wen lived and asked her to copy scriptures every day. Moreover, several young monks were sent to guard the outside of the courtyard around the clock to patrol.
This daring daughter was strictly guarded and guarded against death.
Senior Brother Zhang first threw his daughter into the "Faxing Temple" to repent, and within two days he kicked his second son Lan Ze out of the house for no reason. His approach seemed a bit exaggerated, but no one dared to stand up and object.
Although Lan Ruo did not object, she felt that what he did was too much, so she angrily accompanied Lan Yun'er and moved into the temple. Only senior brother Zhang and his eldest son Zhang Zhiheng were left in the family.
Lan Yun'er was originally kept in the study room of her home by her father to memorize (Song poetry). Even if she couldn't go out and hang out every day, at least the living environment was comfortable, and she was treated like an aristocrat with fine clothes and fine food, but living in a temple was very different.
.
She only had tea, plain noodles and vegetarian dishes every day, and she had to copy scriptures. Memorizing (Song lyrics) at least gave her a poetic imagination, but copying scriptures was much more boring. She didn't know many rare words and there were so many strokes.
It was also difficult to write, which made her feel extremely depressed.
Lan Ruo was afraid that her daughter would really suffer from depression if she continued like this, so she got a white kitten 'Xue Tuan'er' for her to play with. The cat's fur was all white. Although it was not a very expensive breed, it looked
She is very cute and lovable. After Lan Yun'er got this playmate, her mood improved a little bit.
The yard they live in is a common building structure of six bungalows in rural areas in southern Liaoning. The middle is temporarily divided into two independent spaces. There are people walking around in that half of the yard occasionally every day, but the number of comings and goings is very small and always.
Very quiet.
Lan Yun'er goes out to walk her cat after completing her copying task every day, and is also very curious about the residents in the yard next door. Logically speaking, people who can live in the temple for a long time should have a close relationship with the Lan family.
And they had lived in it for almost a week, and they could only see a few novice monks serving tea and meals coming in and out every day. The owner of the room over there had never been seen. So she was even more curious about the yard.
In the past two days, I have been thinking about finding an excuse to go and take a look. Maybe I can find something more interesting. It is more interesting than facing a dumb cat every day, right?
But her mother, Lan Ruo, was determined not to allow her to harass him next door, saying that the man was doing a very important job that not only required a lot of time but also required a very quiet working environment, so he could not be disturbed by outsiders.
It was obvious that Lan Ruo not only knew who lived next door but also knew that person very well. Since she was so familiar with him, why couldn't he go there often and chat? Lan Yun'er didn't understand.
Lan Ruo has been worshiping Buddha and chanting sutras in the temple during this time. All matters in the company have been handed over to her eldest son Zhang Zhiheng. She just took this opportunity to find a reason for herself to retire. She is currently in the main hall and in the temple
The monks attended evening classes together, and Lan Yun'er took "Xiao Xue Tuan'er" out for a walk alone.
'Xue Tuan'er' felt bored after playing in the yard for a while, so she called Lan Yun'er 'meow...meow...' twice and then jumped over the partition in the middle of the yard and took her to the next door. Lan Yun'er hesitated for half a minute.
He quickly chased the cat and passed by.
Although there are flowers and plants planted in the yard, no one regularly prunes and takes care of them in late autumn, so the broken branches and leaves look quite desolate.
With the door closed, you could see the light inside. 'Xue Tuan'er' nimbly ran to the window sill and called out 'meow' to the inside. Maybe it was also curious about the mysterious figure inside. Lan Yun'er was anxious.
She then followed and took Xue Tuan'er down from the window sill. She didn't want to disturb the man and get him scolded again and cause trouble for her.
However, she was still curious when she saw the scene inside through the window. The decoration inside was designed like a study room. Next to the desk in front of the window was a young man wearing a monk's robe who was working with his head lowered. He looked focused.
Although a little dull, she is also quite cute.
Lan Yun'er had never peeked at another person at such a close distance, especially a strange young man. After taking a few glances, she hurriedly hid by the window and couldn't help but blush.
Cheng Nan was startled by the sudden "meow" sound outside the window. The blade of the carving knife in his hand cut his finger, and blood instantly overflowed and dripped on the wood in his hand.
"Ah?" Cheng Nan was startled and hurriedly pulled his sleeves to wipe it. It didn't matter if he was injured and bleeding a little. He was worried about contaminating the sacred object that Yu Wen had bought with his own life. If all his previous efforts were wasted because of this, he would
How to face Uncle Wen who is under Jiuquan?
The blood dripped into the wood and quickly seeped into the wood as if it was melted into it. Cheng Nan wiped it hard for a long time but it still had no effect. He couldn't help but sighed and complained secretly, "It's all my fault. Why am I so stupid?"
”.
Lan Yun'er originally thought that her cat was the cause of the trouble. The man inside would definitely rush out and scold them for harassing them for no reason. At least he would reprimand her as an uninvited guest or make her apologize. Who knows who that guy is?
She actually reflected on herself in a self-pitying manner. This was the first time she had met such a person.
"Oh...Uncle Wen, am I too stupid..." Cheng Nan randomly found a tissue and wrapped his bleeding finger, and sighed sadly, "It would be great if you were still here...".
Lan Yun'er hugged the cat and quietly hid outside the window and eavesdropped. She had just gotten into trouble and she could hide herself without saying a word or showing any trace, but the cat didn't understand such a profound truth, so Xue
Tuan'er let out a very dissatisfied meow and jumped out of Lan Yun'er's arms.
Only then did Cheng Nan realize that there was someone outside his window. He quickly looked up and saw Lan Yun'er chasing the cat and jumping across the window. The disciples taught by Senior Brother Zhang all had very good kung fu skills, even Lan Yun'er.
Characters like Ze and Lan Yun'er who are unable to endure hardships and are unwilling to study and practice are much better than the children of other branches of the Lan family.
Lan Yun'er's dexterous body and graceful posture made Cheng Nan's eyes light up. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent all his energy and thought on carving this work every day. It was almost like being "blind to what is happening outside the window".
No matter the flowers blooming or falling outside, or the storm, rain or snow, it has nothing to do with him.
He just wanted to finish carving this divine object as soon as possible and give it to the young master Lan Tianxing to fulfill Yu Wen's expectations and instructions for him. But the rather clever "Beautiful Cat Catching Picture" just before his eyes made him
The calm heart without distracting thoughts was unexpectedly a little throbbing.
Cheng Nan looked at Lan Yun'er chasing the cat away with a knowing smile on his lips. Before that, he had always had a focused attitude and wanted to conscientiously complete the work assigned to him by his master.
I have always been stuck in this misunderstanding and raced against time.
But the cat meow just now gave him a sudden feeling of enlightenment and finding his direction. It seemed that everything in the world was sentimental, because no one was sure what would happen at a certain moment, and it was precisely these uncertainties that created the consequences.
All things in the world are sentient.
I have been with Yu Wen for ten years. Although he is not a monk, he has been exposed to some Buddhist concepts, so I can understand such a coincidence at this time.
Cheng Nan sighed and then picked up the carving knife and wanted to continue working, but as soon as he lowered his head, his heart skipped a beat. The spot he just wiped seemed to have changed a lot, and the looming thunder patterns on it were covered with traces of light.
