A year later, Tongqing Temple in Tanzhou.
"Master, it's time to drink medicine."
Zhang Chusheng first knocked lightly on the door of the Zen room, and then cautiously shouted inside.
"I know, what kind of medicine is it this time?"
Hearing this, Zen Master Lingyou immediately ended his morning class today and looked helplessly at the slowly cracked door.
"This time it is to protect the kidneys and liver. Senior brother said it is good for your current physical condition."
Zhang Chusheng actually knew that Zen Master Lingyou didn't like to drink these medicines.
But unfortunately, the other person's body was indeed getting worse day by day, so he could only follow his senior brother's instructions and watch the other person drink it regularly and quantitatively every day.
"I drink medicine every day. Now I can hardly drink medicine more than I can eat."
Sighing helplessly again, Zen Master Lingyou stood up, pushed open the door, and took the bowl of medicine from Zhang Chusheng's hand.
"Where is your senior brother? He has only been back for a few days, why is he missing again?"
Hearing Zen Master Lingyou ask this question, Zhang Chusheng rolled his eyes and for a moment he didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. Did that brat go down the mountain again?"
Seeing Zhang Chusheng's hesitant expression, Zen Master Lingyou understood everything immediately.
"It's Sister Qing who came down the mountain, and senior brother went to look for her again."
Ever since Pei Wende and Xiaoqing returned to Tongqing Temple, similar scenes have been staged from time to time.
From being surprised at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it now, Zhang Chusheng didn't know how many times he had gone back and forth to look for his senior brother.
The only good thing is that there doesn't seem to be much conflict between Pei Wende and Xiao Qing.
This peculiar mode of getting along with each other, "you chase me and I run away", has become another manifestation of the tacit understanding between the two.
"Oh, what a bad fate!"
Sighing slightly, Zen Master Lingyou, who also saw all this, could only say this.
After all, Zen Master Lingyou had asked him everything about what happened to Pei Wende as early as the first day he came back.
"It's all the fault of that scoundrel Hui Ji. Sooner or later, he will poke a hole in the sky!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the evening, at the foot of Weishan Mountain, in Ningxiang County.
"I knew you were here..."
With a sigh, a young monk wearing a monk's robe and a rosary around his neck opened the door of the inn, and immediately saw a woman in blue shirt drinking wine not far away.
The young monk was probably the only one who could make the young monk put aside those pilgrims who asked for fortune-telling and go down the mountain to find someone immediately.
"I didn't bring much money with me when I went down the mountain this time. Let's stay together and wash the dishes for the store!"
Hearing the young monk's teasing, the shopkeeper, who had been waiting at the counter for a long time, was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head with a smile.
"Master is joking, how much are these wines worth?"
"As long as you open your mouth, I don't have any objection to Qing Niang even if she empties the entire wine cellar."
When he said this, the shopkeeper's voice paused briefly, and then said with slight emotion.
"After all, it was you who established the 'refuge camp' to take me in..."
"It was also with your help that I opened this inn, so I no longer have to live the hard life of not having enough to eat."
The shopkeeper asked himself that he was not an ungrateful person, so his help to the young monk was engraved in his heart and would never be forgotten.
"The shopkeeper is very polite, the young monk is just trying his best."
The young monk, or rather Pei Wende, clasped his hands towards the shopkeeper.
"Hmph, he's starting to look more and more like a real monk. He's even called 'little monk'."
I don't know whether it was disdain or really drunk. Xiao Qing snorted when he saw Pei Wende's standard monk posture.
"Well……"
Glancing at Xiao Qing with some embarrassment, Pei Wende quickly put down his clasped hands, and then walked towards him under the smiling gaze of the shopkeeper.
"Xiaoqing, you drank too much again."
Reaching out to help the oldest Xiao Qing up, Pei Wende, who had long been accustomed to his appearance, made a rare complaint.
"It's not like you didn't know the situation at that time. Do you think I was willing to end up like this?"
Pei Wende knew that with Xiaoqing's drinking capacity, if she didn't want to get drunk, some ordinary wine would never make her drunk.
"Speaking of which, how much did you drink this time?"
"If the inn hadn't told me you were here, I wouldn't have known you drank all the way here."
This restaurant was not the first restaurant that Pei Wende found along the way, so we can also know how much wine Xiaoqing drank along the way.
"And the sword..."
Pressing against Pei Wende's body, Xiaoqing just raised her eyelids slightly, and immediately put her whole body weight on the other person's body.
"I know, I know!"
He put Xiao Qing on his back and saw that while Pei Wende was complaining, he also didn't forget to take away the green snake sword that was leaning on the wine table.
"Shopkeeper, I'm troubling you again this time."
"I spent all my money at those restaurants in front. I'll bring you Xiaoqing's wine money next time."
No need for Pei Wende to say hello, the shopkeeper already waved his hand skillfully.
"It's just a little money for drinks, not worth mentioning at all."
"If master wants to ask me for wine money again, I won't entertain Qing Niangzi next time."
Facing the shopkeeper's kindness, Pei Wende finally had no choice but to leave the restaurant with a smile, and then walked back a little bit along the way he came.
"Well, you obviously don't have to come to me, I know the way..."
It seemed that he was really drunk, and he could only hear Xiaoqing murmuring softly on Pei Wende's back.
"Well, I really don't need to come to you."
Pei Wende couldn't help but smile when he heard the faint voice coming from his ears.
"But when I think about the fact that you might get drunk somewhere and then reveal your true colors and make a big fuss, I can't convince myself not to come to you."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Wende clearly felt his breathing quicken in his ears.
The next second, a clumsy but heavy head hammer hit Pei Wende on the back of the head, causing him to scream in surprise.
"Ouch! Are you serious?! Don't you know this hurts?"
Without responding to Pei Wende's exclamation, the sleepy Xiaoqing just adjusted herself to a position that was as comfortable as possible, and then fell into a deep sleep.
"You guy..."
It was obvious that he felt Xiaoqing's state. Although Pei Wende gritted his teeth in pain, he still muttered in a low voice.
"I really don't know who I learned these damn habits from. I don't remember the temple ever entertaining drunkards."
Without using any magical powers, Pei Wende just walked on the increasingly bumpy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he was enjoying this feeling very much.
As Pei Wende's back gradually receded, the setting sun lengthened his and Xiaoqing's shadows little by little, until they finally overlapped completely.
