Meng Xiuyuan did not stay in this temple for long.
After confirming that all the animals had been killed, he rushed home with little Gesang in his arms, whose legs were weak due to fright.
Although the old lama seems to have traces of "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" on his body, if you search in detail in this temple, you may find traces of its secret book.
But after Meng Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, he still gave up.
First, although he has learned some Tibetan during this period, and oral communication is almost no problem, he cannot understand Tibetan at all. After all, the little Gesang family was born as a serf. How could he have the opportunity to read and write? Meng Xiuyuan also
There is nowhere to learn.
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't understand the countless scriptures and classics written in Tibetan in this temple, so naturally he couldn't tell which one he needed.
Furthermore, Meng Xiuyuan did not think that the old lama was just bluffing when he said that some disciples would come to attend the Dharma assembly and avenge him after he died.
When considering things, it is natural to think of the worst. This is a big lesson Meng Xiuyuan has learned since his career in the world.
Moreover, in this snowy area during the Yuan Dynasty, these lamas had a transcendent status and had great power. The old lama he killed today was very skilled in martial arts. It was obviously true as Tashi said originally. He should have had a high status originally.
It was only in his later years that he devoted himself to spiritual practice and lived in seclusion here.
All of his eunuchs were killed by Meng Xiuyuan, and the Tashi family living nearby, as low-status serfs, would certainly not be able to escape their involvement.
If you wait too long, a large number of officers and soldiers may surround you, and it will be really difficult to escape.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan's pace became faster and faster. Although it was not as desperate as when he came, the speed was already lightning fast.
Not long after, Meng Xiuyuan returned to the shabby house with little Gesang in his arms.
"Gasang!! Is it really you, Gesang..."
Since Meng Xiu left, Yang Jin has been kneeling at the door of the house, staring in the direction of the temple. In his heart, he prayed for all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas by name. He only hoped that his daughter could come back alive, with less arms and less legs.
It doesn't matter.
I just saw Meng Xiuyuan running back from a distance. Although I was excited, I was so sad and desperate before that I could hardly believe it. I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from making a sound.
Now that he really saw his daughter appear alive in front of him, Yang Jin finally couldn't help but scream in surprise, staggered and wanted to stand up and rush towards his daughter, but because his legs were already numb, he fell down again.
On the ground.
"Mom..." Seeing this scene, little Gesang hurriedly jumped out of Meng Xiuyuan's arms and fell to the ground in two steps. He called his mother in a slurred voice and threw himself on her body.
Little Dawa, who was standing at the door with her mother, saw this situation. She didn't know why the two of them were crying. She was just happy to see her sister back. She shouted "Sister, Sister" and wandered up to them.
Next to them, they smiled and hugged each other.
When Meng Xiu saw this scene, his heart felt warm. He wanted to urge them to pack their things and flee, but at this time, he couldn't bear to interrupt them.
At this time, Tashi, who was lying in the house, heard the noise outside, climbed up from the bed, and walked out of the house step by step with difficulty.
"Gelsang...Hey, you..."
When Tashi saw her daughter return intact, her eyes were subconsciously happy at first, but then she quickly turned sad. Due to her weakness and excitement, she tripped over the threshold of her house when she went out and fell to the ground.
Seeing her husband fall, Yang Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but unexpectedly he pushed him away.
When Tashi raised his head again, his expression when he looked at his daughter was very complicated:
"How could you come back, Gesang... How should you explain to your masters..."
Little Gesang and Yang Jin, mother and daughter, were stunned when they heard what Tashi said. They felt a little unbelievable that he would say such a thing. But after a while, they seemed to understand Tashi's concerns and were speechless. , but the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried harder.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you have to explain?!
I have killed all the lamas in that temple. They are just a bunch of beasts. With me here, what are you afraid of them doing?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard that Tashi actually said such words, he frowned and couldn't help but say.
Tashi was instantly stunned by Meng Xiuyuan's angry rebuke. He froze on the spot with his eyes wide open. After a long while, he said in disbelief:
"Master Dalaiba is dead?! How is it possible? He is a more distinguished master than his master, and he is famous in Sakya City..."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard what he said, he became increasingly unhappy and interrupted decisively:
"Okay, you are still talking about guru not being a guru...
You should pack your luggage now. There is too much noise this time. You will definitely not be able to live here any longer. You must leave immediately and flee eastward.
Remember, only bring the food and clothing you need on the road. Don't bring these rags from home, as they will delay your journey.
You have to keep walking eastward until your whole family can no longer understand what the people around you are saying, and the clothes you are wearing are different from anything you have ever seen before, then you can find a place to stop, do you understand?
I will stay here to block any pursuers who may come.
Maybe their attention is only on me and they won’t pay attention to you..."
While Meng Xiuyuan warned the confused-looking family of four, he wanted to take out some money from the baggage to use to settle their future lives.
But midway through the words, Meng Xiuyuan thought about it and felt something was wrong, and then changed his words:
"Forget it, let me take you with me. It's too dangerous for the four of you alone."
Meng Xiuyuan thought that the four members of Little Gesang's family were born as serfs and had never traveled a hundred miles in their lives. It would be unrealistic for them to escape on their own.
In the snowy area of this day and age, it is said that "there are wild beasts in the mountains without owners, and there are no people in the mountains without owners." No matter who the four members of Little Gesang's family are seen, they will definitely recognize them as runaway serfs.
Just the four of them walking alone, there is a high probability that they would be caught by other serf owners within two days of running away.
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said these words, little Gesang's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked very happy. She quickly stood up and wanted to go into the house to pack her things. But as soon as she walked to her father Tashi, he suddenly grabbed her tightly. .
"You can't leave!" Tashi lowered his head and his voice was hoarse.
"Huh?" Meng Xiuyuan looked at him in surprise, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"We can't leave, hero, we can't leave!"
When Tashi raised his head again, his face was already full of tears. The tears and the blood from the wounds on his face flowed down together, really like crying blood:
"If we leave, we will be runaway slaves! If we are caught, not only will our eyes be gouged out and our hands cut off, but we will also be demoted to the lowest level of Lansheng!"
Our family has been in the family for hundreds of years, and it was not easy for me to become a Chaba in my generation. As long as I respect my master and pay taxes on time, my descendants will all be Chabas in the future.
But if we escape and are demoted to Langsheng, then not only will we become Langsheng, but our descendants will also be Langsheng!
In which generation will they be able to have the luck like me again, to be promoted to Chaba by their master with mercy...
Hero, we can't leave!!
Master, haven't they always wanted little Kelsang? It's hard to find a girl like Kelsang who was born mute and fair-skinned. If you give it to them, the masters will definitely be angry.
I will go along with you. If you let me die too, it won’t matter if I die. It won’t matter if you let those masters and Buddhas peel off my skin and extract my bones!
As a family, we can never become Langsheng again!!!"
Tashi looked crazy at the end. He walked up to Meng Xiuyuan on his knees and grabbed his shirt tightly with both hands.
Meng Xiuyuan heard the words and heard the hidden meaning. He felt anger rushing into his brain instantly. His body shook and he shook off Tashi's entanglement, and grabbed his collar with both hands:
"Did you know earlier that those lamas wanted little Kelsang? Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Don’t you know what they are going to do with Little Kelsang? Do you know that I almost didn’t make it?!”
Seeing that her husband was being beaten, Yang Jin on the side quickly stopped him and begged for mercy:
"Hero, please don't hit Tashi, he is going to die.
It's not that we don't want to tell you, we just don't dare.
And we thought that as long as you could cure Kelsang's mute disease, the masters would not want her.
Who knew that I could be cured at the first sight, but something suddenly happened..."
Immediately, even little Gesang came up to protect her father and looked at Meng Xiuyuan with pleading eyes. It was obvious that even she herself knew about this.
Meng Xiuyuan took a deep breath, and only then did he think everything through.
It turned out that their family had long known that little Kelsang was being targeted by those lamas.
When they first met, the reason why they knelt on the ground and begged Meng Xiuyuan to stay and treat little Kelsang's mute disease was because they felt that those lamas only wanted mute girls, and as long as the disease was cured, little Kelsang could
Survive.
But out of fear of those lamas, they never dared to tell Meng Xiuyuan about this reason.
Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan had mixed emotions in his heart. First he felt a little depressed, and then he just felt that people like Tashi and Yang Jin were really pitiful.
Poorly ignorant.
After such a long period of contact, Meng Xiuyuan could feel that their natures were full of kindness. The reason why they became like this was because they were born in such an environment and it was an inevitable trend.
Born as serfs, they never thought that there would be other choices in the world.
Meng Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, then pulled Tashi's clothes to make him stand up, stared into his eyes and said:
"Calm down and listen to me.
If you don't leave now, there will be no chance of survival. No one in the family of four will survive, and there will be no children or grandchildren.
I will take you eastward, to a place where your master can no longer find you.
Although it's a troubled time there, I can't guarantee that your family will live well.
But at least there, your family still has hope of living, and is no longer Langson or Chaba.
