"What? You said you are my sister?"
Glancing speechlessly at Hui Ji who was snickering behind Pei Hui, Pei Wende asked as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, I am your sister!"
Taking the trouble to answer Pei Wende's various questions, Pei Hui planned to reach out and touch the other person's head while talking.
However, Pei Wende had no affection for his sister who appeared out of nowhere.
I saw him taking a step back quickly, avoiding the outstretched hand in time.
"Wait, let me figure it out first..."
Continuing to glare at Hui Ji, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, Pei Wende first carefully looked at the woman in front of him who called himself "Pei Hui", and then calmed down and said.
"Are you saying that I am not actually an orphan, but that my father is the former Shang Shulang Pei Xiu?"
"Then he was demoted and sent to Tanzhou during this period, so he suddenly thought of a son like me and wanted you to take me back to recognize him?"
The tone was not sharp, but Pei Hui still heard the gun and stick in Pei Wende's words.
Thinking about it, he left his son with a monk for sixteen years, and then suddenly remembered that he still had this son when he was banished.
what is this?
We cannot share wealth and honor, but we must share hardships?
Or is it that Pei Xiu, who is middle-aged and depressed, happens to know that the son he abandoned sixteen years ago is in Tanzhou, so he wants to find a son to take care of him in his old age?
"Looking at it this way, the old man may really have this idea."
"After all, my eldest brother is rebellious and romantic, so he is obviously not a suitable candidate for retirement."
Seeing this situation, Pei Hui nodded without hesitation.
"So, if it were you, would you go back?"
Bui Wende is not a native of this era. His soul comes from the 21st century and he does not have any pedantic ideas about "blood relatives cannot be abandoned" or "parents' orders cannot be violated".
In Pei Wende's heart, if one insists on distinguishing one from another, cultivating kindness is definitely better than generating kindness.
If it were Zen Master Lingyou who often quarreled with him, Pei Wende might have restrained himself a little.
But facing the "biological father" who abandoned him since he was a child, he didn't have a good attitude.
Not to mention, it is not yet certain whether this "biological father" is true or false.
He doesn't think those "abandoned protagonist's counterattack" scenes in movies and novels will happen to him.
What falls from the sky is not necessarily a pie, but may also be a trap.
"..."
This time it was Pei Hui's turn to be silent.
Because before coming here, she had never thought about what to do if Pei Wende didn't want to go back with her.
After all, no matter what, even if Pei Xiu is demoted and exiled to a ghost place like Tanzhou, he is still a wealthy official. After all, it is better than living as a monk in this deep mountain and old forest for the rest of his life, right?
"You mean, you don't want to go back with me?"
Either as if he couldn't believe his guess, or simply wanted to confirm it, Pei Hui asked after being surprised.
"Yes, I don't intend to go back with you."
Pei Wende decisively broke Pei Hui's illusions and said without leaving any room.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead and get busy."
Then, without waiting for Pei Hui to react, Pei Wende picked up two buckets of water and walked around the other party towards the front yard.
He has not completed his task today, but he has no time to fool around with this woman who claims to be his "sister".
As for asking Huiji to carry water for him?
Pei Wende had never thought about such a thing. Carrying water by himself was a kind of spiritual practice. He did not intend to disrupt the trajectory of his past life because of an outsider.

"Look, I'll just say it!"
"No matter how nice that kid looks on the surface, he actually has more ideas than anyone else in his heart."
When saying this, Huiji put down the luggage she was carrying and thought of the various exchanges and conversations she had with Pei Wende during this period.
Although Huiji never treated Pei Wende as an ordinary person from the beginning.
But in the process of communicating with Pei Wende, Huiji was surprised to find that the other party's opinions were not like those of people who lived in temples all year round.
On the contrary, Pei Wende seems to have a set of thinking logic and behavioral rules that are completely different from this era.
"is that so?"
Pei Hui couldn't help but tilted her head, and murmured in a "cute" gesture that was completely inconsistent with her style of painting.
"Huh?"
Immediately realizing Pei Hui's abnormality, Hui Ji opened her mouth and was about to say something, but the other party quickly returned to her mature style.
"It seems like things are a little more troublesome than I thought."
In Pei Hui's memory, her impression of Pei Wende still remains at the stage of that infant baby.
Although Pei Hui herself was only a four or five-year-old girl at that time.
But because of his precocious wisdom, he knows many things that adults may not notice.
For example, the newborn Pei Wende was not liked by the elders in his family from the beginning.
After the full moon, he was "sent" directly to Zen Master Lingyou by Pei Xiu. "I" once burst into tears because of this incident.
"If you really want to take Pei Wende back to recognize you, you'd better change your identity and attitude first!"
The extremely intelligent Hui Ji is not stupid, so it is impossible not to see the "unruly" that Pei Hui deliberately pretends to be.
"Rather than deciding for Pei Wende how he should go about his life in the future, maybe another way is the real solution."
When Hui Ji said this, her eyes revealed deep nostalgia and nostalgia.
Because in Pei Wende, Hui Ji seemed to see her former self.
They were also sent to live in temples when they were young, and when they grew up, they were taken home by their elders to get married...
It's just that Huiji chose a more radical approach at that time, using "breaking ambitions" to force her parents to stop interfering in her life, and she has always been with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng ever since.
Hui Ji now only hopes that Pei Wende will not make the same mistakes as herself and eventually break up with her family.
"Another way?"
Glancing at Hui Ji thoughtfully, Pei Hui didn't know whether he heard it or not. He only hesitated for a moment and continued to direct the other party to carry her salute.
"Don't think you can be lazy just like this, there are still so many things to move over there!"
As a result, the next time gradually passed as Huiji helplessly carried the luggage.
As a key figure among them, Pei Wende had already poured the water from the bucket into the tank in the front yard, and then walked straight towards Zen Master Lingyou who was still meditating in the Main Hall.
Pei Wende didn't believe it. Without Zen Master Lingyou's acquiescence, Huiji would have listened to the instructions of an outsider so honestly.
