pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 27

Jing Ci didn't tell the nuns in the nunnery about Gao Chang's arrest, after all, before she left, she had to use Gao Chang's reputation to frighten a few people.

Not long after discussing with Zhan Huaichun, Jing Ci called the four nuns who had served the guests to her room, and told them directly that someone was going to redeem A Yu's body, and she would first let A Yu go back to vulgar life, and then warned them not to reveal their secrets. Especially the two younger ones, Mingrong and Minghua.

Qing Shi was slightly moved, Qing Hua was a little envious of the little nun's good luck, Ming Rong Ming Hua was completely jealous, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they dared not disobey Jing Ci's intention.

After passing the breath, Jing Ci immediately led the four of them to the Buddhist hall, and ordered Ming Rong to invite A Yu Ming'an to come over.Zhan Huaichun asked her to return to vulgarity tomorrow morning, but Jingci wanted to finish her work early and save her worries. Anyway, Zhan Huaichun will stay in the nunnery until the [-]th day, so it doesn't matter if Ah Yu returns to vulgarity sooner or later.

A Yu was chanting scriptures in the room, and when she opened the door, she heard Ming An asking Ming Rong what she was going to do, she saw Ming Rong glanced at her, and then walked straight ahead without saying anything.

A Yu didn't know why, so she didn't think too much. After closing the door, she walked behind Ming An side by side.

Entering the Buddhist hall, I saw Jing Ci standing in front of the incense table, with a futon placed in front of her.Qing Shi stood beside her, holding a wooden tray in her hand, on which seemed to be a strand of hair.

Neither of the two little nuns had seen such a posture before, and they both stared at their master curiously.

Jing Ci asked Ming An and Ming Rong Ming Hua to stand together, and then Su Rong ordered A Yu to kneel on the futon.It was the first time that the master was so serious, and A Yu was suddenly very scared. Looking at the master, the master was expressionless, and his eyes seemed to be a little relieved. A Yu couldn't understand, and knelt down in a complicated mood.After kneeling down, she heard her master say: "Mingxin, you broke the precept of meat first and then the precept of killing, and then violated the two major precepts. The Buddha will not tolerate you. Let you go back to vulgarity today. Go down the mountain."

Return to vulgarity, go down the mountain...

Ayu was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened. She was so anxious and burst into tears, she cried and begged the two of them: "Master and master, this disciple really knows his mistake, you can punish me however you like, don't you want me to go down the mountain?" ? Please don't drive me away, I will definitely think about it, Master..."

She doesn't want to serve the benefactor, don't want those cakes, she doesn't want anything, she just wants to be a nun here with peace of mind, accompany the master and the Buddha statue, and chant scriptures day and night.

"Master..." No one paid any attention to her. A Yu cried and moved to Qing Shi, hugged her leg and begged: "Master, I don't want to leave. I have been with you since childhood. I don't want to leave you. I want to be a nun. Master, please intercede with Master Grandfather for me, I really know I was wrong!"

She cried so heartbroken that she didn't notice the complex eyes other people looked at her, even if she saw A Yu, she wouldn't notice it, because now she only had one thought, to stay and continue to be her nun.

Jing Ci didn't bother to pay attention to this silly girl, turned her head to Qing Shi and said: "You are also master and apprentice after all, you should tell her a few words at the end. She was a monk when she was young and lived in our nunnery for so many years. I don’t know where to go, so I’ll give her another three days to think about where to go, and after three days, she must go down the mountain.”

"Okay, all of you go back, remember, from now on, there are only three disciples of the Ming generation, you and your sisters, and there is no Mingxin in our nunnery. If we see her in the future, we can only call her the benefactor."

Jingci spoke mercilessly, and Ayu's heart was broken when she heard it. She turned her head and stared blankly at the familiar elder leading the three senior sisters away at the same time until they disappeared at the door.Ayu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Qingshi's leg and cried bitterly: "Master, don't drive me away, this is my home, master, please help me, I don't want to leave..."

"Silly boy," Qing Shi sighed, knelt down as well, hugged Ayu into her arms, looked up at the Buddha statue on the right, and said slowly while patting Ayu's shoulder: "Don't cry, Ayu, it's time to return to vulgarity." Good thing, you don’t even know how much Master envies you. Don’t look at Master chanting scriptures all day long, but Master has never thought about becoming a monk. Master told you today that the greatest happiness for a woman is to have her parents love her before she gets married. Love, full of children and grandchildren... Master's family was in trouble when he was young, and he escaped alone, so he became a nun as a last resort, but you are different, Ayu, you have relatives at the foot of the mountain, and... you are now at the right age to return to vulgarity. Now that you can get married, do you still remember what Master told you about the wedding dress? You can wear red clothes after you get rid of the vulgarity. There is nothing to be sad about. If you miss Master, you can come up the mountain to see me at any time."

Her voice was soft, some were truthful, some were lies, for example, if she went up to the mountain to see her, since the benefactor was willing to pay a big price to redeem Ayu, he must value her in his heart, how could he let Ayu go back to such a place?After three days, she was afraid that she would never see this disciple who was as pure as clear spring water again.

Master's touch was as gentle as when he was a child, and Ayu leaned greedily in Master's arms, sobbing softly: "But I can't bear Master, I don't want to get married, I just want to be a nun. Master, it was you who taught me to recite scriptures, it was you Teach me to have a Buddha in my heart, why do I want to marry?" Ayu can't listen to anything now, and when she thinks that the nunnery doesn't want her, she panics and doesn't know what to do.

"Okay, okay, I'm not letting you go right away, go back to the room and think about it, think about what Master just said to you, and then go down the mountain after thinking about it, don't worry." Qingshi helped her up and wiped her face. Wiping tears, he stuffed the bunch of dry hair into the hands of his disciples, and said with emotion: "This is the hair left over from the year you were shaved, Ayu, don't shave your hair after you return to secular life, save it quickly, and wait for your hair to grow. Now, you can get married."

"Master..." A Yu turned around and called out.

Qing Shi left without looking back.

A Yu held her hair in a daze, tears streaming down one after another.

Master really doesn't want her anymore...

Ayu knelt down on the futon again, kowtowed to the Buddha statue, the top of her head touched the ground, and never wanted to get up again.

She kept kneeling in the Buddhist hall like this, and no one came to persuade her if she didn't leave by herself.

Before dusk, Xiao Ren went back and forth, and when he entered the wooden door of the nunnery, he happened to meet the figure kneeling inside.He froze for a moment, and quickly guessed what happened, and who the nun was inside.Walking to the entrance of Xiangtang, listening to her sobbing softly, Xiao Ren thought for a while, but still didn't go in, and turned to look for Zhan Huaichun.

"Did you buy something?" Zhan Huaichun just woke up and was still rubbing his eyes when he opened the door.

"I bought it." Xiao Ren handed him a package of things, sat down at the table, drank a glass of water, and sighed: "When I entered the door, I saw a little nun kneeling in the incense hall crying, I don't know how long she cried, Oh, you didn't see, when our annoying parrot died, Cancan didn't cry as much as she did."

Zhan Huaichun lost his mind when he spoke.When Jing Ci led the people to the front, he heard that everything was going according to his plan. He didn't think much, and closed the door to sleep. He also expected that the little nun would definitely cry, but he slept from noon to dusk. Could it be that she kept is crying?
"Okay, it's none of your business here, you go back, I'll take you out." After regaining consciousness, Zhan Huaichun got up to see off the guests.

Xiao Ren stopped him when he came to the door: "Have you thought about how to settle down for the little nun? Her parents haven't visited her on the mountain for so many years. It can be seen that they are cruel. Even if we send her back, they will He might not treat her well."

"Maybe they've been here, but she just doesn't know about it." Zhan Huaichun replied casually, but he didn't know too well, "I'll ask the old bustard again."

"Well, you have a lot of ideas, so I'll leave everything in the nunnery to you, and I'll help when I need to find someone." Xiao Ren was very relieved of him, seeing that it was getting late, he stepped out.

Zhan Huaichun sent him out of the nunnery, watched Xiao Ren turn around the intersection, then turned around, closed the door, and went directly to Xiangtang.

Ayu was still kneeling, she was born petite and a little thin, so she looked very pitiful.

"Why are you kneeling here and crying again?" Zhan Huaichun sat cross-legged on the futon next to the little nun, and gently poked her arm.

Ayu turned to look at him, she didn't want to get angry, but all this was done by the man in front of her, Ayu really didn't want to see him, got up to leave.

Zhan Huaichun was upset, he raised his hand to hold her hand, and asked coldly, "Did I offend you again? Why did you leave when you saw me?"

A Yu shook his hands vigorously, only crying but not speaking.

"What's the matter?" She was awkward, Zhan Huaichun lost his patience, pulled him down with a little force, and asked while pressing her shoulder,
Ayu's grievances that had been suppressed immediately surged up again, crying and scolding him: "It's your fault, you forced me to break the precept, now the master doesn't want me anymore, and I'm not allowed to be a nun..."

"Bastard, I'll ask her to judge!" Zhan Huaichun stood up abruptly, gnashing his teeth filled with righteous indignation: "I've already told her about this, it's obviously my fault, why is she still blaming you? I see her You're so old-fashioned, if she doesn't let you continue to be a nun today, I'll beat her up!"

"do not go!"

Ayu was originally afraid of him, but now that his eyes are so fierce, she was really worried that he would hit someone, so she grabbed his arm and said, "You don't need to go, Shizu, Shizu punished me, it should be..." In a word Before he finished speaking, he choked up again.

Ah Yu admitted.

No matter what, she did break the precepts, the precepts of meat, killing, and greed. Master should punish her. She shouldn't blame master, nor should she anger the man in front of her.After thinking it over and admitting it, Ah Yu lost all extravagant hopes, and knelt down blankly, looking at the door and weeping.She can't be a nun anymore, so where can she go?Does she have any relatives?she does not know.

She lost her mind, Zhan Huaichun couldn't bear it, he knelt down and asked her: "Do you really need me to seek justice for you?"

Ayu shook his head blankly.

Zhan Huaichun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, looked at her, and asked, "Then when do you plan to go down the mountain? Have you decided where to go?"

A Yu lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Master allowed me to stay for another three days, where to go, I, I don't know..." She cried even harder.

Her eyes were swollen, her shoulders were shaking non-stop, Zhan Huaichun couldn't help but soften her voice: "Well, you have served me for so many days, it's considered fate between us, and I'm the one who caused you to be sent down the mountain, then wait for you When you are ready to go down the mountain, you follow me to my house first, I will try my best to find out where your parents live, and send you back when the time comes, how about it?"

"Follow you?" A Yu looked up in astonishment.

"I live in the county seat. You can stay in my house until you find your parents." Zhan Huaichun said without hesitation. I found the little nun's parents before going home.

A Yu lowered her head, she didn't know whether she should go with him, but if she didn't follow him, where could she go?She doesn't know anyone.

"Don't want to go? Are you still angry with me?" The little nun hesitated, Zhan Huaichun was upset, someone gave her free food and living, why was she hesitating?
"Not angry!" A Yu quickly denied, and raised her head to meet the smiling black eyes of the man, she was embarrassed again, and lowered her head, "Then, I will trouble the benefactor." I am very grateful to the other party, if not for his shelter, She is literally homeless.

After finishing the little nun's side, Zhan Huaichun was in a good mood, and pulled her to stand up: "I'll go to the host to inquire about your life experience, you go back to the house and rest first. Don't worry, everything will be settled until you find your parents and relatives." Let me make the decision for you, it is an apology to you."

"Thank you, benefactor." Ayu's heart was in a mess, and she almost listened to what he said. He asked her to go back to the house, and she bowed her head and left.

Zhan Huaichun continued to stand in the incense hall for a while, and went straight to the point when he went to Jing Ci: "How did Ming Xin become a monk? Do you have relatives? I don't want to have someone come to pester her after I take her back."

Ayu's life experience Jingci had already prepared, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I picked up Mingxin in the mountains. At that time, she was already very ill. Most likely her parents thought her daughter was going to die. Throwing her into the mountains and resigning to fate, I was afraid that Mingxin would be sad, so I made up a better story, saying that her parents had no money to treat her and sent her to a nunnery. You see, they haven’t looked for their daughter for so many years, it must be I thought my daughter had died a long time ago, and besides, Mingxin has forgotten everything because of her [-]-year-old daughter, so if you change her name later, even if you bump into her parents in the future, they will have no evidence to prove that she is their daughter."

"Meet it in the mountains? It's kind of you to pick it up when you're terminally ill." Zhan Huaichun didn't really believe this.

Jingci leaned against the door panel and smiled: "I don't have such good intentions, it's good to have a good foundation. If she is born ugly, I don't care if she lives or dies."

Zhan Huaichun snorted, knowing that he couldn't find anything else, he went back to the guest room.

As the sky was getting darker, Ah Yu looked out of the window, went to the kitchen as usual, and prepared to serve meals to the guest room, but before she entered, Ming An saw her inside, and said emotionlessly while packing up the things in his hand: "You are now You are no longer a member of the nunnery, so you should think about how you plan to live after you go down the mountain, and you don’t need to take care of things here.”

A Yu was stunned at the door, tears came up again after she said it, turned around, and walked down the steps step by step, as if she had lost her soul.

Ming An looked at her back, his chest ached from jealousy.

What to say to return to vulgarity, the man must have redeemed her body for her. He went to such great lengths to not want to make her suspicious. He really cared about A Yu.

After A Yu's figure disappeared, Ming An withdrew his gaze, took the share from the guest room, and walked steadily towards the front yard.

She didn't know why the other party didn't go down the mountain immediately, but tonight was undoubtedly her last chance.
