After talking about serious matters, Dongfang Chunsheng joked with the two of them again, then felt a little tired and sat aside to rest.

Without the senior Dongfang Chunsheng around, Xia Qing and Death Shichen relaxed a lot. The two laughed and joked, but the quick-witted Death Shichen took advantage of them every time. Xia Qing finally muttered and sat aside to get angry. Stifling.

The dead man Chen was about to tease Xia Qing, but suddenly there was a loud shout in front of him, and everyone looked away in search of the voice. They saw Liu Yi, who had just gone to explore the way, running toward the crowd nervously and shouting. Liu Yi's red oval face was exaggerated. He was like a melon, with his mouth open, and two rows of white teeth neatly exposed. He ran and shouted, "Boss Xia, Uncle Chen, save me, ah ah, save me!"

Death Shichen thought that Liu Yi had encountered a fierce tiger beast, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and relaxed his mind. Two small yellow beads came out from the hilt of the sword and flew towards Liu Yi quickly. After checking, he immediately took it back and smiled. , shouted loudly, "Quick, quick, come to your Uncle Chen, your Brother Xia doesn't care about you, your Uncle Chen doesn't care about you!"

Invisibly, Shi Chen took a big advantage of Xia Qing.

"Old boy, watch the fight!" Seeing Death Shichen's face relaxed, and hearing that this old boy was taking advantage of her, Xia Qing waved her fists, shook her big head, and ran towards Death Shichen with her little eyes widened. .

Death Shichen had a wicked smile on his lips, and a monkey dodged. Xia Qing flew into the air and plunged into the snowdrift behind Death Shichen, causing a big somersault.

After several people laughed a few times, they focused their attention on Liu Yi, who was running over in a hurry.

I saw two big yellow dogs and a little bald dog biting tightly behind Liu Yi. The yellow dog barked loudly. The little bald man was holding a fire stick and yelling "Ula Ula", which made everyone laugh. .

It seemed that Liu Yi should have provoked the little bald man who was chasing after him somewhere.

In the past few days, Liu Yi, who has left his father, has been like a rabbit in the woods. Under the words and deeds of the "old and unruly" elders such as Dongfang Chunsheng, Xia Qing, and Shi Shichen, he has gradually become a little bit "less unruly" and has a different personality. He became more and more out of touch, and his usual ways became wilder.

I saw Liu Yi out of breath running to Death Shichen, circling around Death Shichen. The little bald head grinned regardless, chasing after Death Shichen as if he was nothing. The two big yellow dogs following the little bald head seemed to be a little acquainted with the situation. They squatted together and continued to roar and cheer for the little bald head.

One of the two little guys was chasing desperately, and the other was running desperately. The two of them were circling around the dead man, making him confused and confused.

Although Dongfang Chunsheng was past his sixties, his childlike innocence was still intact. He pretended to be serious and said to the deceased Shi Chen and Xia Qing, "The "Four People's Monthly Order" says: In December, on the twelfth day of the month, rice and wild geese are recommended. In the first five days, Kill pigs every day and sheep every three days. Xiaochen, Xiaoxia, look at this wasteland with dry grass, pigs and sheep are really nowhere to be found. Is it okay for us to kill two dogs to satisfy our hunger? "

"Hey! This junior is just thinking about it. Old man, which one do you want to eat first? The left one looks fatter. Although the right one is thin, the meat must be chewy and chewy." Xia Qing continued with Dongfang Chunsheng's words, her eyes forming slits. , rubbed their hands and bowed their waists, and walked towards the big yellow dogs with a wicked smile on their faces. The two big yellow dogs seemed to understand human language. They tucked their tails, stopped roaring, lowered their heads, and began to purr.

After hearing this, the little bald man stopped.

When everyone took a closer look, they suddenly felt novel. After taking a closer look, they were amazed again and again.

If Liu Yi's appearance can be considered outstanding, this little bald head is definitely outstanding.

This little bald man is about the same age as Liu Yi and has a similar build. But I saw him wearing sandals, rosary beads, and rags. Her complexion is fair and white, her mouth is like a pearl, her nose is like a hanging gallbladder, her brows are like plumes, and her eyes are filled with stars. It can be said that she is a great beauty!

"Child, you, are you a little monk?"

Dongfang Chunsheng restrained his teasing expression slightly, looked at the stubborn little bald man standing in front of the two big yellow dogs, and asked curiously.

"The host of Wanfo Temple in Wanfo Mountain is me!" The little bald man raised his voice, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked stubborn, but he already showed a sense of grievance.

Xia Qing's interest was not diminished, she still looked at the little bald head with a mischievous smile, and said to Dongfang Chunsheng playfully, "Old man, please ask him quickly if he is a Buddhist. I heard that the six roots of the ascetic Xiaoxian are pure. This thing is comparable to You’ve got a lot of dog meat! If you eat it, old man, won’t you live a long life?”

The little bald man's face suddenly turned pale.

"Haha! Little host, you can't take the joke I just made seriously!"

Seeing that the child was slightly frightened, Dongfang Chunsheng put away his childlike innocence and stepped forward to touch the little bald head of the 'little host', but the little man stubbornly flashed past him. Dongfang Chunsheng burst out laughing, "The dog is yours." , little host, don’t be afraid! We are just travelers in the mountains, not bad people.”

Dongfang Chunsheng had a kind look on his face, Xiao Jianliu hesitated for a moment, then simply threw the fire stick, pointed at Liu Yi with a grin, and cried out, "This bastard, he said I'm young!"

It turned out that everyone was about to leave the Lingyuan Mountains today. There were no wild animals on the edge of the mountains. They also heard that the last mountain in the Lingyuan Mountains was ahead. Liu Yi was in a natural condition, so he took the initiative to explore the road and climbed to the top of the mountain. Wanting to feel the wonder of the white mountains and snow-covered pines from a high place, Liu Yi saw three shabby houses on the top of the mountain. Liu Yi approached out of curiosity and happened to see a little bald man standing facing the wall.

Going out for the first time, although Liu Yi was apprehensive, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he bravely walked closer. At first glance, he saw that it was a little bald man about his own age who was peeing against the wall. Liu Yi saw the little bald man's belongings. Son, he unconsciously said, "What a small thing!"

Humiliating a man's little brother is tantamount to a big slap on the face of an upright man, which is unacceptable to anyone, including the monk who is supposed to cut off his emotions and desires.

As a result, the two of them staged a 'big scene' of chasing each other in the vast snow-capped mountains.

"Boy, you're talking trouble out of your mouth! Hahaha!" After hearing what happened, Xia Qing burst out laughing.

"Little host, every thought is for the sake of love... Haha! Hahaha!" Looking at the tearful Xiao Mianliu, the dead man wanted to try something, but in the end he couldn't hold back his smile. , the same as Xia Qing's smile is called "the sky is dark and the earth is dark".

When Xiao Jianliu saw this, he pressed his lips and started to cry loudly as his eyes were filled with shooting stars.

Dongfang Yu had always been quick-tempered, so she was a little impatient when she saw this. She stepped forward, glared at the round bald head, and said, "Papa pa pa pa" three times, and scolded, "Why are you crying?" , a man, a true man, crying in front of heaven and earth, how shameless!"

This time, the little Minliu who was sitting on the tree stump was beaten into a daze. He looked straight at Dongfang Yu and twitched without making any sound. Two big yellow dogs came up his legs, one on the left and one on the right. Licking Xiao Mianliu's little face, as if comforting her.

"Little host, these two people are mentally retarded, don't mind. Don't take it to heart, Liu Yi's unintentional words. I will apologize to the young host on behalf of my descendants!" Dongfang Chunsheng pointed at the dead Shi Chen and Xia Qing slightly cupped her hands, giving Xiao Mianliu a step forward.

Xiao Mianliu stood up and returned the salute, held his head high and said, "That's pretty much it!"

Dongfang Chunsheng wandered away all year round and often stayed overnight, so he looked at Xiao Mianliu kindly and said warmly, "What is the name of the little abbot? I see that it is getting late, and I hope that it is convenient for the little abbot. I will go there later." Would you like to stay in your temple for one night?"

Xiao Jianliu's wonderful eyes shone brightly, "The poor monk appears, senior, if you don't mind the coldness of this lowly bed, I will be happy to do so!"

When he heard that he was staying the night, Shi Shichen stopped joking and asked curiously, "Xiao Yixian, I have been traveling around the world all year round. Why haven't I heard that there is a Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple here?"

"Three broken houses, with earthen tiles and mud walls, and not even a Buddha! They are as small as him."

Liu Yi interjected at the right time. He had his nose pressed up and looked carefree. There were elders taking care of him here, which caused him to completely let himself go. He didn't have the composure of his elder brother from the 'Fifth Elementary School' or the welcome from Wangbei Tower. The guest's dexterity.

"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! I, I will fight with you today!"

As soon as Xian picked up the fire stick, he started to chase Liu Yi again. Liu Yi ran away, followed by two big yellow dogs. Dongfang Yu took off his tiger skin coat, held up his tiger head cloth hat, and chased after him happily. The big yellow dog, the little guy was full of energy and ran towards the three broken houses.

The adults laughed happily, walked slowly and quickly, and followed closely behind, and the group arrived in a short while.

Liu Yi was right. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is just three huts on the top of the mountain. There is not even a Buddha statue in the house, nor is there even a place to worship the Buddha and burn incense.

However, although the three huts are extremely simple, they are well taken care of by Xiao Yixian. The main entrance of the small courtyard faces south, and the main hall faces the main entrance. There are two wooden couches in the main hall, four or five straw futons, countless miscellaneous books, and there are many books in the side room. There are some sundries and food, and the other is a bedroom, which is clean and tidy.

The sun sets slowly, and the stars move in the spring and autumn. The group of people took a nap for a while, and then night came.

After Yi Xian informed them, everyone waited patiently in the main hall.

After a while, yellow rice, fried soybeans with peppers, fried cucumbers with fungus, and a bowl of cabbage and mushroom soup with some acyl vinegar were served to the table with great affection. In addition, each person also had a frozen pear.

This made everyone who had not eaten for half a month enjoy the food and praise it again and again.
