"Ye Tan, what a coincidence!" Seeing Ye Tan get into the car, Zhou Qingying was also very surprised, and hurriedly asked Ye Tan to sit next to her: "Where are you going?"
"I plan to visit Grandpa Sun." Ye Tan said, "I plan to go home tomorrow, so I thought of visiting his old man today."
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Zhou Qingying heard Ye Tan's words and said with some annoyance: "My mother has always said that she would invite you to my house for dinner. I have been so busy these days that I have never made time. , I happen to be going to visit Grandpa Sun, why don’t you come to my house for a light meal tonight."
"That's so embarrassing, so I won't go." Ye Tan felt that he was not familiar with the rest of the Zhou family, so there was no way he would be embarrassed to visit.
"Come on." Zhou Qingying smiled and said: "My mother has been talking about it. You don't know how much my mother loves to eat the bottle of pickles you gave me last time. She keeps nagging me to treat you well. "
"If Auntie likes it, I will send two bottles to Auntie when I return to Northeast China." Ye Tan said with a smile.
"No, no, it's not easy for you there, don't bother." Zhou Qingying said hurriedly: "Come to my house tonight, my mother will be happy to see you coming."
"Okay, then I'll bother you."
"That `s a deal."
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to Jinyuan Temple.
Jinyuan Temple was as deserted as ever. When she arrived at the gate of Jinyuan Temple, she saw that the door was closed tightly, so Zhou Qingying patted the door.
After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. Ye Tan and Zhou Qingying couldn't help but murmured. Could it be that Lao Suntou was in the backyard, so they didn't hear the knock on the door? Or maybe I didn’t hear it during my nap?
After a while, Zhou Qingying patted the door again, but there was still no response.
Suddenly, Tuanzi said to Ye Tan: "Xiao Tan, Grandpa Sun is sitting on the futon in the room, and he seems to be asleep."
Fell asleep?
Listening to Tuanzi's words, Ye Tan felt something was wrong. Even if the backyard was far away, even if he was asleep, the sound of knocking on the door so frequently was not quiet, so he shouldn't be able to hear it, right?
"Sister Qingying, how about... let's go in and take a look ourselves?" Ye Tan suddenly thought, isn't Grandpa Sun feeling unwell?
To be honest, Ye Tan is still a little worried about Lao Suntou staying alone in Jinyuan Temple. After all, he is already sixty or seventy years old, and his legs and feet are not stable. If someone bumps into him, There was simply no one to help.
"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Zhou Qingying came over today. On the one hand, she came to visit Lao Suntou. On the other hand, she also wanted to persuade Lao Suntou to return to the city. According to Lao Suntou's situation, she helped If the Public Security Bureau catches a trafficker, it can take care of him and give him a private room.
No matter what, it's better than staying alone in this temple.
Ye Tan and Zhou Qingying were both familiar with the matter of climbing over the temple wall, and they climbed into the Jinyuan Temple in three attempts.
The temple was very quiet, without a sound. Ye Tan and Zhou Qingying looked at each other and hurried to the backyard.
There was nothing unusual all the way from the main hall to the backyard. When entering the backyard, it was also very quiet.
Tuanzi hurriedly said to Ye Tan: "Xiao Tan, there is no one else in the backyard except Grandpa Sun. He is still sitting on the futon without moving."
"Grandpa Sun should be in the room." Ye Tan couldn't believe that she already knew where Old Sun Tou was, so she said to Zhou Qingying, "Let's go to his room first."
With that said, Ye Tan walked towards Lao Suntou's room. She walked a little eagerly. According to Tuanzi, Ye Tan doubted whether Lao Suntou had fainted due to some sudden illness. This place is close to the hospital. It was too far, but she had a small Huan Dan in her hand, and she secretly dissolved the Xiao Huan Dan in water and gave it to Lao Suntou to drink. It should be okay.
When Zhou Qingying and Ye Tan came to Lao Suntou's room, they saw Lao Suntou sitting cross-legged on the futon, wearing a clean white robe. All his white hair had been shaved off. He gently put his hands on his hands. In front of the belly, with his head hanging down, as if he was asleep.
"Grandpa Sun." Seeing the old Suntou like this, Ye Tan felt a little anxious and hurriedly called out softly before stepping forward.
"Ye Tan!" Suddenly, Zhou Qingying called Ye Tan suddenly, held Ye Tan's shoulders and said, "Don't come forward yet."
After saying that, Zhou Qingying stepped forward and squatted in front of Lao Suntou, looked at Lao Suntou's face, frowned, and then touched Lao Suntou's wrist and side of neck.
Seeing Zhou Qingying's action, Ye Tan's heart skipped a beat: "Sister Qingying..."
Zhou Qingying sighed and stood up, her voice a little heavy: "Ye Tan, Grandpa Sun has gone."
"How could it be!" Ye Tan couldn't believe it. It was clear that Grandpa Sun was still fine when she left last time. Although his legs and feet were not good, he was very energetic and did not look like he was ill at all.
"Grandpa Sun has indeed gone." Zhou Qingying sighed and said again, and then looked around. Due to professional habits, her first reaction when encountering this situation was to check the surrounding situation to initially determine the cause of death of the deceased. .
Seeing that Zhou Qingying's attention was not focused here, Ye Tan quickly took out a small Huan Dan, not caring whether it was soluble in water or not, and directly stuffed the Xiao Huan Dan into Lao Suntou's mouth.
Tuanzi said regretfully: "Xiaotan, it's useless, Grandpa Sun has no life fluctuations in his body."
Nowadays, Tuanzi's energy is still low. To sense a person's life energy fluctuations, he can only feel it if he is close to this person. Therefore, just now, Tuanzi could only see Lao Suntou sitting cross-legged on the futon, but he was not aware of Lao Suntou's situation. Nothing.
After hearing Tuanzi's words, Ye Tan frowned, looking at Old Suntou's calm face, he still couldn't believe it: "How could this happen?"
"Ye Tan, come and take a look at this." Suddenly, Zhou Qingying said to Ye Tan.
Ye Tan turned around when he heard the sound and saw Zhou Qingying holding a piece of letter paper and about to hand it to her: "This letter is placed next to the Buddhist niche."
Taking the piece of letter paper, Ye Tan read it roughly, feeling a little sad.
It turned out that this letter was Lao Suntou's suicide note. He wrote in the letter that he had become a monk at Jinyuan Temple since he was a child. He devoted himself to Buddhism and being kind to others, but he had no choice but to associate with human traffickers and watched helplessly as the traffickers harmed so many people. In his opinion, his behavior is an accomplice of the human traffickers. In the past few years, he has seen so many people being trafficked, and there is nothing he can do. Now, the traffickers have finally received the retribution they deserve, and no one will be trafficked again. He should go to Buddha to atone for his sins caused by these human traffickers.
The reason for leaving this suicide note was to tell the person who discovered him that he committed suicide and was no different from others.
