Chapter 26: Worship
Although the trouble of the ghost spell was solved, because the main business of worship had not yet been done, they returned to the Taoist temple through the mountains and forests after a short rest.
On the road, Leng Yue has always been depressed, and whatever Xia Qi and Chu Mengqi say to him, he bows his head and is silent, like a child who keeps blaming himself for doing something wrong.
After returning to the Taoist temple, Leng Yue habitually cleaned the Taoist temple inside and out, and then went to his master's cemetery with Chu Mengqi.
Xia Qi did not go to join in the fun, but chose to be a quiet beautiful man and honestly stay in the Taoist temple to rest.
Lying on the somewhat damp bed, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Xia Qi quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept this night, and when Xia Qi woke up, he found Chu Mengqi standing in front of the window of the house, stretching out a hand to touch the rain falling from the eaves.
"Didn't you follow the cold god to worship, when did you come back?"
Although Xia Qi said this on his lips, he secretly scolded Chu Mengqi in his heart for appearing quietly like a little ghost every time.
"It's been hours, well, you slept like a pig, of course you didn't feel it."
Chu Mengqi turned her head and glanced at Xia Qi, looking at her expression of wanting to get angry, Xia Qi didn't have to guess to know that she must have been deflated by Leng Yue.
"Didn't the cold god come back with you?"
"How could his stinking and hard stone come back so early, and he sent me back not long after we got there."
"It's more in line with his character, after all, no one would leave a crow with a crow."
"You stinky scoundrel, who do you say is a crow!"
Chu Mengqi heard Xia Qi scolding herself, so she walked over to the bed angrily.
"Don't sit down, I didn't say it's you, what are you anxious about."
Xia Qi is not afraid of Chu Mengqi, not to mention that it is impossible for them to fight, even if they do, with his current strength. Chu Mengqi was no longer his opponent.
Sitting up from the bed, Xia Qi ignored Chu Mengqi's anger, opened his two arms and teased Chu Mengqi:
"Come here and hug me."
"Hug you big-headed ghost! Sooner or later, it will make you look good. ”
Chu Mengqi glared at Xia Qi viciously, and his steps to come over and teach Xia Qi a lesson also stopped. Xia Qi smiled triumphantly. He also got out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and glanced out the window where it was still raining lightly.
"You stay here and look after the house, I'll go out for a walk."
Xia Qi suddenly became interested, explained to Chu Mengqi, and took out two apples from the duffel bag. Walked out leisurely.
"you, you'd better not let me see you again!"
Chu Mengqi roared at Xia Qi, but Xia Qi didn't even look at her, and went out of the yard directly.
"Stinky scoundrel, see if I don't give you all your fruit to eat!"
Coming out of the yard, breathing the fresh air of the mountains, and feeling the coolness of whispering and moistening all things, Xia Qi suddenly found that the Taoist temple of blue bricks and red tiles behind him matched the willow forest path in front of him. Under the background of rain and fog, it is like a beautiful picture, and it has a unique artistic conception.
Walking along the path towards the back of the Taoist temple, after a few steps, Xia Qi saw an orchard full of wild grass because it was untended.
I think that when Leng Yue was young, he should have sat under the fruit tree in a daze.
"It's pretty nice here, it's quiet and comfortable, there's no pollution, and there's no bustle of the bustling city."
Xia Qi felt that if he lived in such a place since he was a child, he was afraid that he would also become like Leng Yue. Simple, quiet, and difficult to fit into today's urban life.
People are like that, they have experienced a lot. The more you experience, the more you will see your outlook on life.
still remembers his impression of Xu Tianhua at the beginning, he only felt that Xu Tianhua was extremely hateful, without the slightest human touch, and it was difficult to understand why a person would be so indifferent to life.
However, after a series of brutal events, when he himself was promoted to director. He suddenly realized that Xu Tianhua was not responsible at most, but it was not as unbearable as he imagined at the beginning.
This is the position has changed, the angle of seeing things has changed, so the view has become different from before.
He hated Leng Yue very much at first, and he thought that Leng Yue was very pretending, and felt that they were not all the way at all. But after knowing Leng Yue's growth environment and gradually understanding Leng Yue, his original idea was completely gone.
"It seems that that sentence is really true, if you have not experienced his life, you are not qualified to comment on his present."
After Xia Qi finished talking to himself, he shook his head with a smile, feeling that he was in the area of quality, and he was afraid that he would improve from now on.
In front of Master Leng Yue's grave, the ashes of three long incense sticks burned out fell to the ground, and a cool breeze blew, blowing and shaking the offerings placed in the basin slightly.
Leng Yue knelt in front of the grave, the rain had completely soaked his clothes.
I don't know if it's tears or rain and dew on my face.
"Master, I feel like I've changed now, I'm not the same person I used to be, and I don't feel like I'm following your teachings."
Leng Yue's voice was hoarse, as if the tomb in front of him was not a tomb, but his master himself was standing there, staring at him with a majestic face.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound of the cold moon was gradually drowned out in the wind and rain, and the originally dry dirt under his legs had turned into mud, but his back was still straight, and he would not leave this night.
When Xia Qi ran into the house like a chicken in soup, Chu Mengqi was leaning on the head of the bed, and her two little white feet moved gently.
Seeing Xia Qi coming in covered in water, Chu Mengqi raised a little foot and pointed to the door:
"Do not take off your clothes in my sight, but take off your neighbor, lest you stain my eyes."
"Are you embarrassed to say me? Who told you to eat my apples, don't you know that it was my ration for these two days! ”
"Don't worry, I've left some for you, enough to eat when you lose weight."
Chu Mengqi said, and put another strawberry in his mouth.
"I think you need to lose weight, and you're really excited to eat."
Xia Qi walked over and snatched the bag of strawberries directly, and then put them in his duffel bag.
"Stingy!" Chu Mengqi muttered and pursed her lips.
"Willing to eat and buy it yourself."
"You are so stingy and destined to be lonely for the rest of your life."
"You mortal knows a fart, have you ever heard of the Red Fruit and Vegetable Elf? You can only eat red fruits and vegetables, and you can't eat fireworks in the world. ”
"Yes, yes, great fruit and vegetable elves, can we have a good chat and not brag?"
Chu Mengqi glanced at Xia Qi uncomfortably, and then changed the topic and said:
"I think we need to talk about the future." (To be continued.) )
