The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 552 The Daughter of the Grassland

In the early morning of the next day, in the inn beside the official road in Xianshan Mountain, Xiangzhou.

"Hey, where did Brother Pei go? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Sitting bored on the bench in the hall, Ah Yue, who propped her chin with her hands, muttered in a low voice.

Ever since Pei Wende found out about sneaking out last night, Ah Yue hasn't slept well for most of the night, and even got up early today.

"Hey! Did you get up so early today? Is the sun coming out from the west?"

As soon as he went out, he saw his daughter's listless appearance, Zou Qiwu deliberately asked in a slightly teasing tone.

Since leaving Weishan, Ah Yue's mood has fallen into a long-term depression.

As a father, Zou Qiwu naturally knew his daughter's reluctance, but after all, the two of them were not frequent visitors of Weishan, and it was impossible to stay in Tongqing Temple for a long time.

Especially after Pei Wende chose to recognize relatives, it was only a matter of time before the father and daughter returned to Chang'an.

But what Zou Qiwu never expected was that on the night of his arrival in Chang'an, Pei Wende killed a flood dragon and manifested the Buddha's Dharma image in full view of everyone, causing the whole county to stay up all night.

On the second day, Pei Wende directly rejected the invitation from the Pei Mansion, and did not come to recognize relatives as originally planned.

Zou Qiwu didn't know what happened that night, the only thing he knew was that it seemed that Pei Wende's return home to meet his relatives was over?

Whether it's Pei Hong or the old man of the Pei family...

They seemed to have acquiesced to Pei Wende's approach, and just wrote his name on the genealogy, and ended this crude recognition ceremony hastily.

In this regard, Zou Qiwu can only guess that this is inseparable from the visions of "two snakes over the river" and "Ming Wang appearing in the world" that occurred later.

Later, when Zou Qiwu took Ah Yue on the journey back to Chang'an, Pei Wende suddenly proposed that he would also go to Chang'an with the two of them.

Although the excuse Pei Wende used at the time was that he was worried about the monk Huiji who was now in Chang'an.

But Zou Qiwu vaguely felt that this must not be the real reason.

Being able to make Pei Wende put down Zen Master Lingyou of Tongqing Temple, and follow his father and daughter to Chang'an in a hurry, probably something big is about to happen in Chang'an!
For this reason, Zou Qiwu took Ah Yue to rest in Changsha County for another two days, and when Pei Wende returned from Tongqing Temple again, the three officially set off for the journey to Chang'an.

"Dad!"

Facing Zou Qiwu's ridicule, Ah Yue just rolled her eyes angrily.

Although the time spent in Tongqing Temple was not long, those few months were the best memories of Ah Yue in her life.

This is not only because Ah Yue has learned a lot of knowledge that she would never have access to in her life, but also because she rarely meets a group of friends who can laugh and play.

Needless to say, Zhang Chusheng, who studied with him and was ahead of him in everything.

Although Ah Yue hated that guy who liked to pretend to be stupid, he had to admit that he was much more talented than herself in all aspects.

The atmosphere of mutual competition and mutual comparison not only greatly stimulated Ah Yue's enthusiasm for learning, but also made her unknowingly develop a certain strange affection for that silly boy.

In addition, the three civet cat brothers who are elusive and haunted are also Ah Yue's best playmates during that time on the mountain.

Those three brothers are innocent and innocent, they will believe no matter what Ah Yue says, and they will come up with some interesting ideas to share with Ah Yue from time to time.

Even though most of the time, Ah Yue simply followed the civet cats and three brothers into troubles, but those experiences made her feel an unprecedented joy and presumptuousness.

Even the cold-faced and warm-hearted Xiaoqing, the serious but caring Pei Wende, and the often hard-spoken and soft-hearted Zen Master Lingyou all left a deep impression on Ah Yue.

In contrast, Ah Yue felt a headache when she thought that after returning to Chang'an, she would have to accept the daily study and work arrangements arranged by a large group of old-fashioned people.

"Father, after we go back this time, can you stop arranging those messy courses for me?"

"When I think of returning to Chang'an, I have to get up at the right time, and then recite the Four Books and Five Classics, practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, my head hurts."

Hearing Ah Yue's complaints, Zou Qiwu greeted the little girl next to him to prepare breakfast for him, while turning his head and showing a gloating expression at her.

"This girl, she has lost her heart in just a few months."

"Don't forget, your mother arranged those courses for you, and I'm just in charge of the arrangements."

"If you don't want to be forced to stay by your mother's side after returning to the grassland, you really don't have to study those courses."

When he said this, Zou Qiwu's tone paused for a moment, and then he looked at Ah Yue whose face was almost wrinkled together and said with a smile.

"Haha, it just so happens that I can take this opportunity to get rid of your 'burden', so that you won't cause me trouble all day long."

Her eyes widened angrily, Ah Yue had no choice but to end the topic with a whimper.

Because as Zou Qiwu said, on the issue of Ah Yue's education, no matter how big the opinions of the father and daughter are, they are not as good as what Ah Yue's mother said in the grassland.

Unlike Zou Qiwu who doted on his own daughter, Ah Yue's mother was the female leader of a prairie tribe in XZ, and she was a genuine strong woman.

"I really don't know what my mother thinks..."

"As a child of the grassland, she actually intends to raise her daughter to be a lady of the family?"

Just as the father and daughter were bickering every day, the door of the inn was slowly pushed open.

squeak...

Accompanied by the sound of an old wooden door turning, Xiaoqing, dressed in a green suit and holding a long green snake sword, appeared at the gate.

"Sister Qing!"

Noticing Xiaoqing's figure immediately, Ah Yue immediately jumped up excitedly from the stool.

"..."

Frowning slightly, Xiao Qing, who was not used to such intimate contact with people, immediately reached out and held Ah Yue's head, killing the other's intimacy in the cradle.

"Sister Qing, where is my elder brother Pei? Why didn't you see him come back?"

Not minding Xiaoqing's attitude at all, Ah Yue just curiously looked behind Xiaoqing, but didn't see Pei Wende who was inseparable from her.

"He has something to do, and he won't be back for the time being."

After briefly explaining the original, Xiaoqing cast her eyes on Zou Qiwu who was also curious.

"Pei Wende still has some matters to deal with for the time being, and it is estimated that he will stay here for three to five days..."

There was no need for Xiaoqing to continue talking, Zou Qiwu immediately nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Stay a few more days, just stay a few more days!"

"It just so happens that we are not in a hurry. It is a good choice to take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a while and recover from the fatigue of the long-distance travel."
