Not long after the news that Xu Qingmo was unconscious came out, one after another bright lanterns were lit on the street. Huide stood on the bridge, looking at the people who opened the doors and hung up the bright lanterns from time to time, with a soft look in his eyes.
Autumn rain always comes as soon as it comes, and it falls pattering on the ground. The little novice monk who came over held an umbrella for Huide: "Master has not been back for so long, the host is getting anxious!"
Huide smiled, then took the umbrella from the little novice monk, walked to the position of the long-lit lamp, and used the umbrella in his hand to block the surrounding rain. The little novice monk didn't know why: "Master, that is our umbrella!"
"Well, that's General Zhou's ever-bright lamp!" Huide's expression was still indifferent. He put down his umbrella and covered the little novice monk with his sleeves, "Okay, let's go back!"
The little novice monk didn't know why and kept looking back at his umbrella.
Huide moved forward slowly: "Everything has a cause and effect. What she wishes is great love. A long-lasting lamp is the small love of the people. Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it!"
The little novice monk raised his head blankly: "Buddha's love is great love!"
Huide paused and touched the little novice monk's head: "Yes, Buddha loves all living beings and all living beings are equal!"
The little novice monk still didn't know, but he stopped asking and just followed Huide forward obediently.
It rained heavily in those days, but it failed to extinguish a single ever-burning lamp. Everyone carefully protected the ever-burning lamp.
"Eternal lantern? She is just a woman, how can He De let the people light the eternal lantern for her?" Xie Suxian was claustrophobic. When he learned that the people lit the eternal lantern for the unconscious Xu Qingmo, he sneered for a long time, "Such a heavy rain, no matter how good it is, Even the ever-burning light will go out!”
The boy beside him didn't say anything, he just stayed by Xie Suxian's side quietly.
And when the emperor and empress in the palace knew that the people lit everlasting lanterns for Xu Qingmo, apart from being surprised at first, they just sighed: "During the war at the border, Xu Qingmo saved the country from danger. This is the reward from the people. She deserves it!"
The Queen looked pale when she thought of seeing Xu Qingmo a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "She probably suffered from this old disease when she was in Northern Xinjiang. In such a cold place, even men can't bear it. She A little girl, who has stayed in that place for so long and has to march and fight, originally thought that everything was over, but she didn't expect that something happened on her wedding night!"
After listening to what the queen said, the emperor knew that the queen was really distressed. He stretched out his hand and took the queen into his arms: "The people's wishes, she will be fine!"
The queen sighed deeply and didn't speak for a long time.
After Mrs. Xu learned about Xu Qingmo's accident, she knelt in the ancestral hall and prayed over and over again.
Everyone is praying, and now they can do nothing but pray.
Meng Hetong just stayed by Xu Qingmo's side, holding her hand and refusing to go anywhere. No matter who it was, he never left even half a step, just guarding her.
"Master Hou has been without food or water for so many days. What will happen if he continues like this!" Yusheng was anxious outside the house, "I'm really scared, really scared..."
"What are you really afraid of?" Qu Lian, who had not slept for several nights, walked to Yusheng's side with red eyes.
"I'm afraid that if our girl is gone, the Marquis will follow us, right?" Hua Ying said coldly.
This was the most taboo word nowadays, and Yu Sheng naturally did not dare to say it, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
"No one can do anything at the moment. Only Master Huide said that there is a chance in these seven days. There is nothing we can do except wait!" Qu Lian looked at the two people in the room with some dejection.
Suddenly a little girl ran in: "Sister Huaying, there are many people outside the mansion, and they are all crowded at the gate of the Hou Mansion!"
"What happened?" Hua Ying frowned. At this time, in the Yongchang Hou Mansion, except for a lady who eats fast and chants Buddha's name, there really is no one who can make the decision. Nothing can happen again!
"I don't know, they didn't say anything, they just stood outside the Hou Mansion!" The girl shook her head, her face full of confusion.
Hua Ying thought for a while and walked into the rain curtain holding an umbrella: "I'll go take a look!"
The Hou Mansion is quite large. When Hua Ying walked from the backyard to the gate, more and more people were gathering at the gate. It was raining continuously. As soon as she walked to the gate, she saw that the gate was crowded with people holding umbrellas. People, those people just stood there, men and women, young and old, each holding a lamp in their hand.
It was raining heavily, and everyone held it carefully.
"They are all here to deliver everlasting lanterns!" The boy on the side said softly, "They are all for the eldest lady. I hope the eldest lady can wake up soon!"
While they were talking, a child suddenly ran up and hugged Huaying's legs: "Sister, sister, I remember you. When the general got married, you were beside the sedan. You must Recognize General Xu!"
The little girl lost two front teeth and her words leaked when she spoke, making it difficult for her to speak clearly.
Hua Ying felt that her teeth were sore, and it took a while before she said, "Yes, I recognize General Xu. Do you have anything to say to General Xu?"
"My mother said that because General Xu won the battle, I was able to study in school. Because General Xu won the battle, I ate one more egg like my elder brother!" The little girl looked up at Huaying, "You can help me Tell General Xu? I like her the most, even more than my mother!"
Huaying, who could still hold back her tears, felt tears dripping from the corners of her eyes. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, but her heart was throbbing with pain. She had to hold it back for several days. The sadness and helplessness finally defeated her.
The little girl's mother quickly came up and pulled her away, hurriedly apologizing to Hua Ying.
After a long time, Hua Ying recovered. She knelt down, looked at the little girl in front of her, and said softly: "Okay, I will tell General Xu and tell her that there is a little girl who likes her very, very much!"
The little girl smiled. She was still young and had just started to learn about sadness. She just saw Hua Ying crying and carefully reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she found a piece from her pocket and hid it. The already somewhat dirty candy was handed to Huaying: "Sister, if you don't cry, you won't cry after eating the candy!"
Huaying looked at the piece of candy and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
One after another, the ever-bright lanterns were delivered to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and gradually lit up the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion from the gate along the corridor. Mrs. Meng said, these are the common people, using their goodwill to accumulate blessings for Xu Qingmo, they must let these The light stays on.
