"Quick! Don't let her run away!"
"Catch up! Grass, this bastard, catch her, I have to kill her!"
On a June day, even at night, it was a little hot and dry. At this time, it was raining finely and lightly. The whole weather was indescribably hot, making people feel stuffy from the heart.
Outside the city, on the path leading to Qingling Temple, in the woods next to it, a plain-clothed woman stumbled and ran. The embroidered shoes had already been dyed with a lot of soil, but she didn't care at all. There was a flash of light.
The two big men who were chasing her, saw that she was about to run to the avenue, their expressions changed, and they just wanted to rush her back to do business. There are many dignitaries on this road who went to Qingling Temple for incense. If she was allowed to do this Running out, I'm afraid I won't be able to take her back.
"Quick! Quickly chase!"
The woman in plain clothes also heard the swearing words coming from behind her. She turned her face slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes almost imperceptibly. Before the two big men caught up, she ran directly to the road that used to carry the sedan chair and was walking. On the road of the carriage, one of his feet was unstable and he fell straight out.
"what!"
She cried out in pain, her voice was subtle, but with a charming vibrato at the end, it went around gently, which was pitiful.
She was covered in plain clothes, with only a simple silver bracelet on her white wrist, and only one hairpin was left on her hair, which was scattered in a mess, and she fell beside a carriage. The fingers that were as white as jade were now stained with some muddy smudges.
The carriage stopped.
She propped herself up with one hand, raised her face, a strand of hair was scattered around her mouth, tears were dripping from her long and curled eyelashes, and there was a trace of scratches on her delicate face, which seemed to be flawless. She looked at the carriage, her eyes As soon as the light lit up, it was like encountering a savior, and the two lines of clear tears suddenly fell, begging bitterly:
"Please help me, Lord!"
Her voice was soft and thin, but the trembling sound fascinated people's hearts, her eyes were as clear as water, only her eyes were red, so she couldn't wait to hold her in her heart and cherish them.
The boy who was driving the carriage looked at her, a little confused, and asked the people in the carriage for instructions. After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the person with his head sticking out had a good face, but he was not yet the age of the crown. He narrowed his brows and looked a little unstoppably simple. At a glance, he knew that he grew up under the protection of his family.
He was dressed in splendid clothes, looking at the weak girl who could be blown away by a gust of wind on the ground, surprise and amazement floated in his eyes, he murmured for a while, and then he reacted with a blushing face and said:
"Who are you?"
Luo Ran half-kneeled, she held the handkerchief in her hand, wiped the corners of her eyes, and cried and said, "The little girl is from Jiangnan, and my father is a doctor. Last month, my father died unexpectedly, and my mother could not bear it for a while and went with her father, leaving her little daughter alone."
"The little girl buried her parents and her parents, so she wanted to go to Beijing to seek refuge with her aunt. However, when the little girl just left the city, she encountered a gangster. He wanted to bring the little girl into Beijing to sell and sell it to the traffickers. , son, please save the little girl!"
The young man was not very involved in the world. Hearing her poor background, he felt pity. He looked sideways, and indeed saw a figure swaying in the woods. He suddenly gave birth to a heroic spirit of saving beauty. He frowned and solemnly greeted her. said:
"Don't be afraid, girl, there are still such evil things happening at the foot of this capital, girl, please get up, my son will not let you have an accident."
Luo Ran's tears still couldn't be stopped, but the handkerchief covered the corners of her mouth. She stood up, but fell to the ground like a weak willow supporting the wind. I helped her, her ears and cheeks were red, but she didn't know it, she just asked her:
"Girl, are you okay?" The voice was soft, as if afraid of scaring her.
Luo Ran stood up leaning against him, and smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you son, little girl is fine." Those watery eyes looked at him like admiration, and suddenly made the son feel proud, and he couldn't help but treat her One more point.
He saw that the clothes on her body had been soaked by the fine rainwater, showing her exquisite figure faintly, his face flushed, he quickly let go of her, climbed onto the carriage, took out a fox fur and put it on her, right Shang Luo Ran's grateful eyes, blushing and looking away, said:
"You are weak, don't get caught in the rain."
Luo Ran's crystal tears seemed to come out again, so the young master asked in a panic, "What's wrong? But where does it hurt?"
She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, lowered her head blushing, and said shyly, "It's okay, it's just the rest of her life, I'm crying with joy."
At the end, she said again: "Thank you, son."
Qi Yan nodded randomly, then waved his hands and said, "No, no."
Qi Yan thought of something again, and said to Luo Ran: "Girl, Chang'an is going to Qingling Temple. Would you like to go with Chang'an? After returning to the mansion, Chang'an will arrange for you."
Luo Ran bit her lip, looked at Lin Zi behind her with some fear, grabbed Qi Yan's sleeve in one hand, nodded and said, "Thank you son, the little girl is willing."
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and helped her onto the carriage. If he hadn't been going to Qingling Temple to pick up his mother today, he would be more willing to bring her back to the mansion. Qi Yan didn't know what to think, and his cheeks flushed.
There is a lot of space in the carriage, which is more than enough for two people. Luo Ran sits on the side and is a little restrained. After Qi Yan got in the carriage, he held a book as if to cover it up, but Yu Guang often leaked from the side of the book to Luo Ran. body.
After the two were seated, the carriage continued to drive forward.
When the two big men in the woods saw this, they scolded and left in frustration.
There was silence in the car, but Qi Yan felt that he couldn't read the book in his hand, and his eyes always drifted to Luo Ran involuntarily. Luo Ran seemed to notice his eyes and moved a little uneasy.
After a long time, Qi Yan suddenly put down the book in his hand, coughed lightly, and asked her with a blushing face: "My surname is Qi, my name is Yan, and the word is Chang'an. I haven't asked the girl's name yet."
Luo Ran raised her head slightly, with a soft smile on her face, and whispered softly: "The little girl's name is Luo Ran, and the son can call me A Ran."
Qi Yan's face turned even redder, and he shouted "A Ran" in his heart, some dared not meet her eyes, and murmured for a while before saying, "A, A Ran doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Chang'an. "
Luo Ran bit her lips, her face was dyed with a red glow, and her voice was even softer: "Chang'an." It seemed like a gust of wind was blowing in Qi Yan's heart, making his earlobe red as if it was about to drip blood.
He nodded his head with bright eyes, and replied, "Yeah."
Luo Ran seemed to be shy, lowered his head and stopped talking, but began to organize the plot in his heart:
This book is more interesting. It is still similar to the ancient times I went to before. The male protagonist is actually a monk, and the female protagonist is the direct daughter of a merchant. Since she is the only child in the family, I have loved her since childhood. How can I think of a daughter The Lord accompanied her mother to Qingling Temple to give incense once, and a heart fell on Master Xuan Yi of Qingling Temple.
The male protagonist Xuan Yi, the disciple of Qingling Temple in the capital, is also a concubine of the declining Dejinghou Mansion, but his mother died in childbirth while giving birth to him, so he was also sent to Qingling Temple, where he shaved his hair at the age of seven. A monk, cold-hearted and cold-hearted, wants to dedicate his life to the Buddha.
This book is a tragedy. The heroine went to Qingling Temple to recuperate on the grounds of being ill. In fact, she wanted to get close to the male protagonist Xuan Yi. Although she persevered, the male protagonist was devoted to the Buddha, but she was also the female protagonist and the male protagonist. The Lord was naturally moved by her, and the two had their first time in front of the Buddha, which also disturbed the male lead's mind.
According to Yiluo Ran, it was because the male protagonist didn't hold on to it, so he felt guilty about the Buddha. After being confused, what followed was the male protagonist's life of remorse. He became more and more silent, studying Buddhist scriptures every day, and treating women The Lord naturally cools down.
The heroine also seemed to know that she couldn't shake his heart to serve the Buddha at all, so she left the stage sadly. Because of the mother's love, perhaps because of the male lead, she gave birth to that child, a boy, and the female lead, like the male lead's mother, died in childbirth.
The child grew up under the care of his maternal grandparents, and the child also knew his own background. When he became an adult, he entered Qingling Temple just like his biological mother. He wanted to see what kind of person his biological father was. It can make his mother think about her until she dies.
When the male protagonist saw his face carved out of the same mold as his own, he instantly understood his origin. The already stable Dao heart also had cracks at that moment. They did not recognize each other, and the male protagonist was just like him. As I wish, I dedicate my life to the Buddha.
So the ending of this book is that the heroine dies, the hero gets hurt, and then it ends.
And she Luo Ran is really a passerby. In the original text, her fate was to be sold into a brothel. In the original text, she did not appear, but was only classified as a woman who had tried to seduce the male protagonist.
As soon as Luo Ran recovered from the plot, the carriage had already stopped at the foot of Qingling Temple.
Qi Yan got off the carriage first, and then reached out to help her. Luo Ran seemed a little shy, and finally got off the carriage with his hand, but just after getting off the carriage, she pulled out her hand, lowered her head, and followed behind Qi Yan.
Qi Yan didn't feel that something was wrong, he looked at her more and took her into Qingling Temple.
Qingling Temple is the largest temple in Fengguo. There are countless people who come to offer incense every day. It is only because Master Huiming, the host of Qingling Temple, is highly respected, proficient in Zen theory, and profound in Buddhism.
Qi Yan quickly found his mother, who was a noble lady with some servants behind her. She looked at Qi Yan lovingly, and when he caught a glimpse of Luo Ran, he paused slightly and asked:
"Chang'an, who is this?"
Qi Yan blushed and said hesitantly, "Mother, this is a girl saved by the boy on the road." He told his mother the life experiences that Luo Ran said.
There was no pity in the woman's eyes, but her eyes were slightly cold. She was not Qi Yan, and she did not have that kind of pity for Xiangxiyu. Looking at Luo Ran's weak and uncontrollable appearance, she only thought that she was looking at Qi Yan who was deceitful and dedicated to honor. That's it.
Without showing any thoughts on her face, she still asked Qi Yan with a smile, "Then what are you going to do with this girl?"
Qi Yan took a look at Luo Ran, and seemed to notice that she was a little uneasy, turned slightly to block her, and said quickly, "Mother, I plan to bring her into the mansion first."
The woman's expression changed slightly. She had previously disclosed the news to the prince that she wanted to betrothed the county master to her family. Before that, she must not go wrong. She thought to herself, then chuckled lightly:
"Enter the palace?"
Qi Yan didn't feel anything wrong, and nodded again and again.
The woman's eyes fell on Luo Ran, her voice faded, and she asked her, "Do you know what it means that you entered my mansion with Chang'an?"
Qi Yan's face turned red, and he glanced at the woman pleadingly. The woman frowned slightly, but remained indifferent, turned her eyes away, and stared straight at Luo Ran.
Luo Ran's body trembled lightly, her white fingertips twisted together, she walked out from behind Qi Yan, lowered her head, only showing the top of her hair, and whispered: "Back to Madam's words, little girl... I know."
The woman's eyes were slightly cold and she said, "Since you know, then Mrs. Ben asked you, would you like it?" Her voice was cold, but she didn't give Luo Ran a choice.
Qi Yan could also hear what his mother meant, and his brows knitted together immediately. He glanced at his mother disapprovingly. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by the woman's horizontal eyes.
Luo Ran bit her lip. She was not stupid. She could hear the disgust in the woman's words. She was born beautiful and concealed some loftiness. At this time, her eyes were red because of the woman's tone. Holding back the teardrop and not letting it fall, she said in a low voice:
"The little girl knows that she is not worthy of the son, and thanked the son for his kindness."
Qi Yan was in a hurry and stepped forward to explain: "No no no, you don't, you, you, I..."
Qi Yan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, so he could only shout, "Mother!" He looked at the woman with burning eyes, and didn't understand why he didn't want to accept Luo Ran, who had always followed his mother.
The woman looked away, for Chang'an's bright future, it would be fine if it were an ordinary woman, but looking at Chang'an's reaction, she would not let this woman stay by Chang'an's side.
The woman looked at Luo Ran, and her tone softened because of her knowledge: "If that's the case, what are you going to do?"
Luo Ran raised her eyes uneasily, looked around, and said with some embarrassment and hesitation: "I don't know, Madam, can you let the little girl stay in this Qingling Temple?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, staying in Qingling Temple? It's not that the request is too difficult. It can even be said that the request is too simple. She can't help but feel a little soft-hearted at this time. Maybe this woman is really what she said. The woman said:
"Do you child know what it means to stay in this temple?"
Luo Ran bit her lips and said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, the little girl knows, but, with this appearance, where else can the little girl go other than here?"
The woman was dumbfounded. She didn't want Luo Ran to enter the mansion, but was it because of her excessive appearance? I don't want to care about her, if she is caught by those scoundrels again... A trace of sympathy flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she said:
"Okay, Mrs. Ben will tell the abbot that you are my niece from a distant room, come here to hide, and leave when you have a home in the future."
Luo Ran was wearing Qi Yan's fox fur, tightly covering the veil with one hand, with a grateful face, and couldn't help crying: "Thank you madam."
The woman turned her face away and couldn't bear to look at it. No matter how pitiful she was, she wouldn't let her stay by Chang'an's side.
Looking at Luo Ran's appearance, Qi Yan was so distressed that he wanted to intercede with his mother, but he didn't know what to say. Do you have to let Luo Ran enter the manor with him? What do you do when you enter the government and enter the government? Qi Yan blushed and dared not think about it.
The woman immediately went to the people in the temple and let Luo Ran stay, and the matter was settled.
Luo Ran only breathed a sigh of relief at this time. According to Qi'er's news, she decided to fall under Qi Yan's carriage in order to stay with the male protagonist Xuan Yi in this Qingling Temple.
A little monk took her to a side room in the backyard. The little monk was not very old when he suddenly saw a young woman with such an outstanding appearance that he lowered his head and did not dare to raise his eyes to look more closely. He muttered "Amitabha Buddha".
Luo Ran followed him into this side room. The room was not too big. There was a dressing table and a bed, separated by a screen. There was a table outside. Apart from that, there was nothing else. There was nothing unusual about this bad situation, so he smiled softly at the little monk, folded his hands and asked:
"Dare to ask the little master's name?"
The little monk hurriedly waved his hand: "The donor is more polite, and the little monk's Dharma name is forgetting. Since the donor has arrived, the forgetting will leave first, and then go to receive other donors."
"I'm sorry to forget about the little master." Luo Ran smiled at him with bent eyelashes. She was still wearing that plain clothes, but it made her weaker and more pitiful. She bit her lips, her cheeks were a little pink, and she supported her. He hesitantly asked:
"Missing the little master, can you tell the little girl, where can I get hot water?"
Nianwang looked at her and understood what she meant, and said with a blushing face: "Go straight on this path, turn left, and you will reach the kitchen, where there is hot water."
Luo Ran said thank you to him before letting him go.
When no one was there, she put down the things in her hand. It was a bag of silver that Qi Yan had just given her. She didn't want it, but Qi Yan forced it into her. His mother also asked someone to prepare some clothes for her. .
At this point, Luo Ran lived in Qingling Temple. After half a month, she figured out the route of this temple, and also knew where Xuan Yi lived and his work and rest time.
For example, he gets up at 90 every day, goes to the main hall to start morning chanting, eats breakfast at 12 hours, and then meditates, and only after Shenshi does he leave the main hall and return to his own residence, where he lives in a separate courtyard farther away from her. .
If Luo Ran wanted to go to the back mountain, he would have to pass through his courtyard, and if Xuan Yi went to the main hall, he would also pass through her courtyard, but Xuan Yi usually took another path, avoiding her encounter situation.
Luo Ran's daily meals are delivered to the room by the monks in the temple, so they don't eat with them, and there is one less chance of contact, and the daily meal for Luo Ran is the memory of that day.
Luo Ran knew through Qi'er that Xuan Yi would go to the bamboo forest in the back mountain to read Buddhist scriptures after leaving the main hall every day. Luo Ran raised the corners of her lips lightly, and it had already been delayed for half a month. She should contact the male protagonist. .
However, she didn't act rashly, because Xuan Yi is really cold-hearted. It can be seen from the fact that he knew that the heroine had given birth to a son for him. , Of course, this can also be said that he is scumbag, in short, if you want to enter his heart, it is not so easy.
Luo Ran took out the bag of silver that Qi Yan gave her before she left, opened it, and raised her eyebrows. It was too sincere. Except for some broken silver, it was all silver notes, and the denomination was not small. This Qingling Temple is enough for her to use it for several years.
What's more, in fact, she was not short of money, especially in ancient times. After all, she could not be without a bit of convenience when she was doing tasks. At least the matter of money, Qi'er would always solve it for her. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart. , Every world, Qi'er did his best to help her.
Qi Yan has also come to see her, and she often comes. Today, Qi Yan is here again. When he came here in the past, he was in a good mood, but he seems to be in a bad mood today. He and Luo Ran stood on the road leading to the bamboo forest. On the trail, Qi Yan looked at her for a long time, his eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything.
Luo Ran naturally knew why he was. He should be marrying the county master, so that's why he did this. After all, he never concealed his thoughts. Luo Ran narrowed her eyebrows. She was wearing a long white dress with just the right hem. to the ankles, revealing her delicately embroidered shoes.
She looked at Qi Yan worriedly, and asked hesitantly, "Chang'an, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Yan shook his head with a forced smile: "I'm fine."
Luo Ran bit her lip, knowing that he didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask any more, stood beside him and lowered her head.
Qi Yan looked at her, suddenly a little impulsive, and wanted to ask if she was like him, if she liked him
"Aran!" As soon as he blurted out a syllable, he quickly closed his mouth again. He knew that his mother would not agree to let Luo Ran enter the house, so why should she be embarrassed
Luo Ran raised his head and asked him in confusion, "Chang'an, what's wrong?"
Qi Yan looked at her charming face, and finally shook his head bleakly, took a breath, stopped looking at her, turned to look at Qingzhu beside him, and asked her as if nothing had happened:
"Are you used to being here?"
A slight smile appeared on Luo Ran's face, and he whispered softly: "Everything is fine, don't worry about Chang'an, just..."
She frowned, which made Qi Yan feel pity, and quickly asked, "Does A Ran feel a little inconvenienced?"
Luo Ran shook his head, and seemed a little disappointed and said, "I'm a little bored here, and I don't know what to do to pass the time on weekdays."
She paused, looked at Qi Yan who was a little anxious, and said with her eyelashes bent, "Can Chang'an play a piano with me?"
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a piano, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
The two walked together in Qingling Temple for a long time, it was getting late, Qi Yan should go back, but when he left this time, his eyes kept falling on Luo Ran and he refused to take it back.
Luo Ran still sent him away with a smile on his face, but he suddenly stopped, hugged her, she was slightly stunned, and then struggled to push him away, she frowned, her eyes were slightly watery, and she said :
"Changan, what are you doing?"
Qi Yan also knew that he was a little rude just now, he closed his eyes, cupped his hands apologetically and said, "Aran, I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Seeing him like this, Luo Ran couldn't get angry anymore, bit her lip, didn't open her eyes and didn't look at him, and didn't speak.
Qi Yan narrowed his eyebrows, and finally took off the jade pendant he had been carrying with him and put it in Luo Ran's hands. Looking at Luo Ran's puzzled expression, he only said slowly, "Aran, if you have anything to do in the future , then came to me with this jade pendant."
Luo Ran held the jade pendant in one hand and seemed to understand what he meant. His eyes were a little red, but he still smiled reluctantly: "Are you not going to come again in the future?"
Qi Yan didn't answer, but his answer was self-evident.
Luo Ran looked at him with mist in her eyes. Seeing his face seemed a little sad, she quickly wiped away her tears and smiled: "I will remember Chang'an, don't worry about Chang'an, I'm here, it's fine."
The servant behind him suddenly stepped forward to remind Qi Yan that Qi Yan's steps that he had stepped forward suddenly stopped, no longer stepped forward, and took a deep look at Luo Ran, as if to keep her in mind, then turned and left, no stop.
Although he didn't come anymore, he promised Luo Ran the qin to send her, but he arrived at Qingling Temple the next day. Luo Ran looked at the qin, his fingertips trembled slightly, and after a while, he returned to calm and stroked lightly. The strings locked the jade pendant that Qi Yan had given to him in the cabinet on the dresser.
