Chapter 25 The candlelight in the cold night
Qingning was nagging in an angry tone for a long time, and her originally red cheeks also disappeared a lot. Chen Liang sat aside and listened to Qingning's speech. Seeing that his Taoist boy was much less confused, he felt relieved.
Perhaps, after pulling out the four tail hairs, Qingning needs to rest well to recover his body. He guessed that it might be the reason, so he kept this in mind.
"Nothing happened before, it was because you were too confused and thought about sleeping. You are still my Taoist boy, the number one Taoist boy in the world. Now, you just need to lie in the bed and rest well." Chen Liang breathed a long sigh, and a relaxed look appeared on his nervous face. "If you feel satisfied, you can sleep until tomorrow, until the day after tomorrow, and then sleep until you feel comfortable and get up."
Qingning was so happy that she smiled and had two crescent moons in her eyes. She didn't have to do anything, and she just lie comfortably on the bed and fell asleep. The stupid Taoist priest was caring for him by her side. She was so comfortable.
"Qing Ning will rest for another night, and we will go back to Jiangyang Temple tomorrow." Although she was so comfortable and Qing Ning wanted to stay like this, she still said so firmly.
No matter what, now is not the time to be greedy for comfort. I cannot become a hindrance and delay too much time for the stupid Taoist priest. When the matter of Tiandao is solved, I and the stupid Taoist priest will have a more comfortable life in the future. Qingning thought this way, stubbornly thought that it would definitely be for such a day.
Chuangshi was feeling a little uncomfortable and turned over. Qingning caught a glimpse of the pile of things scattered on the table in the house, the pile of food she brought from Anshicheng.
"Master Benny, all the food I bought in the city is still there? Master Benny, did you eat it secretly while Qing Ning was sleeping?" Qing Ning looked at the pile of food in a alert and said seriously.
Chen Liang could only shruggle helplessly about his own Taoist child's unreasonable words, saying that he did not eat human food at all, so how could he eat it secretly?
Qingning didn't believe it, and lay on the bed, pouting her mouth and insisted on getting up to check it out in person to see if there were any missing items.
There was no choice but to quickly take the things over and put them in front of Qingning, so that she could continue to lie on the bed and look around.
"Master Stupid Taoist, fortunately Qingning remembered to check it out. This thing is not complete, and there is obviously one pear missing. There were originally two pears in the pocket Qingning took, but now there is only one person!" Qingning finished counting the food and said angrily with his eyes bulging.
"Pear?" Chen Liang disturbed his head, not knowing what the apple was.
After Qing Ning's description, he roughly understood what the so-called "pear" was. Before, when he packed up the things that Qing Ning was throwing around, he only found one so-called pear.
"If you lose one, you will lose one. You can have a good rest first. When you have a good rest, you will buy it if you have the chance to do it later." Chen Liang comforted Qingning.
"No, that pear must be found. This is a very important thing." Qing Ning said willfully lying on the bed.
"How important is it?" Chen Liang asked seriously, but he still didn't understand why Qingning insisted so much.
"It's very, very important, so important that if you can't find it, Qingning will not be able to rest well all night." Qingning said willfully, insisting on finding the pear back.
After saying the willful words, she pulled the quilt upwards and buried her head in. As if she was about to be angry with Chen Liang, she had to wait until he found the pear before she could get out of the quilt.
Chen Liang finally discovered Qingning's willfulness, so he smiled helplessly. He reached out and touched her little head through the quilt, then got up and went out to retrieve the so-called pear.
Since she wants to be willful, she will do it today, and he thought about it like this.
As soon as Chen Liang got up and walked out, he heard a noisy sound coming from the house. It was the old lady who was the owner of the house who was talking to, but the sound was like a middle-aged man.
After Qingning was placed in the house, the old lady disappeared. Chen Liang only needed to confirm that she was safe and sound. As for what she was going to do during this period, it was her own business.
He had no action to listen to this noisy sound, but when he walked out, the noisy sound naturally flowed into his ears.
"Han Po, you have begged me for more than half a year and insisted on me helping you do this. Isn't this to make things difficult for me?"
"Xiao Yan, I also know that this matter is a bit forced to you. But recently I feel a little uneasy and always feel that something is going to happen, so I want to go to Baiyang Temple nearby and look at the Yuanyu Taoist. You also know that I am old and cannot go alone, so I will find you to accompany me."
"Han Po, you have kindness to our family, so no matter what you ask me to help, I can't agree to this kind of thing. You don't know the situation in the village now. I'm about to go into Anshi Academy to become a Confucian scholar. You don't know. How can I take you into the Taoist temple under this situation?"
"Since you young people went to school in the academy and the Taoist temples around the village were abandoned, I rarely went to Taoist temples. After I became seriously ill and started to weaken my body seven years ago, I have never been to that Taoist temple. But I haven't seen it for so long, and I always want to go there again!"
"Han Po, don't worry, you are in good health. We will continue to take care of you."
"But I always feel very nervous. I always want to go to the Taoist temple to worship and chat with those Taoists."
"Han Po, now everyone in the village believes everything said in the academy and regards that Taoist temple as an enemy. Just give up this unrealistic idea. I will give you another message. The fact that you have taken in the passerby during this period has been seen and prepared to report it to the village. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find out that the person has pressed the matter. In the future, don't take in the unknown Taoist again, otherwise you will definitely warn you."
...
Chen Liang was getting farther and farther away from the village, and the old lady's conversation with the young man became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely. After he left the village, he suddenly used the qi-seeking technique he had practiced not long ago and looked at the old lady in the distance.
Above the old lady's head there was a weak black flame, about one-eighth of the size of a fist. The flame was burning above the old lady's head, like a candle in the wind, and it was about to be extinguished at any time.
According to the results of the little Taoist technique of Qi-seeing Technique, this means that the old lady is dying and will die for one or two years at most.
Seeing this, Chen Liang did not do anything and continued to walk towards the place where Qingning threw away the things in his hand. When he arrived at that place, he tried hard to recall the shape of the "pear" that Qingning said, and then searched the place. After a while, when the sun set, Chen Liang finally found the thing in a hidden haystack.
When she went back, Qingning was still awake and looked much more energetic. She pulled the quilt up to cover half of her small face, leaving only the pair of black eyes outside. There was no angry expression or willful expression, and the little face showed an inexplicable strange expression.
Seeing Chen Liang pick up the lost pear, Qing Ning was so happy that she pulled the entire quilt down, revealing her entire little face, and quickly praised Chen Liang.
There was a meal on the table in the room, and the old lady called Chen Liang and the others to come. The old lady was old and naturally couldn't cook in person. These were said to be sent by the Yan family in the village.
Chen Liang would definitely not eat these worldly foods. He turned his head to look at Qingning on the bed to see what she planned.
A cunning look flashed in Qing Ning's eyes, and she quickly stretched out her hand and pressed it on her forehead, shouting loudly, and she was still a little dizzy. But she was a little hungry now. If she could eat something, she might be much dizzy. Next, she pulled the quilt and covered her blushing cheeks, deliberately complaining loudly: It would be great if there was a stupid Taoist priest, because the Taoist priest would definitely be able to serve her food and feed her.
Chen Liang smiled, wondering if his Taoist boy was really dizzy, but according to her words, he served the food and walked to the bed to feed her.
Qingning looked like a treacherous plan was successful, and she looked at Taoist Benny feeding her to eat with a smile on her face.
Now that I was so happy, Qingning lost her sleepiness when she lay on the bed. She couldn't chat with the stupid Taoist priest here, so she started chatting with the old lady in the room. She was curious and asked why the old lady was alone in the room and did not see her children.
"When I was young, I always helped the villagers to contact the Taoist temple. At that time, the Taoist temple was still prosperous, and I was the only one in the village, so I was always busy with the Taoist temple. At that time, the things were to contact the Taoist temple, be responsible for incense sacrifices, and help the villagers to communicate their wishes. I never had time to think about this matter. When the Taoist temple declined, my affairs gradually became less and I was no longer interested in it. I had been alone in dealing with the Taoist temple for most of my life, and all I thought about was the Taoist temple!" The old lady said slowly, and then told Qing Ning about the past.
Seeing that Qingning's spirit was about to recover, Chen Liang also felt relieved. He left Qingning and the old lady chatting about the past in the house, and he walked towards the big tree before.
Although it didn't rain tonight, Chen Liang always felt a little cold when he was lying on the big tree, which was even colder than when it rained before. But for him, as a Taoist, this was nothing. He looked at the candlelights in the village and fell asleep not long after.
"Silly Taoist Master, stupid Taoist Master, come down quickly..."
In his sleep, he heard the sound that seemed to be Qingning. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was exactly the case. In the middle of the night, Qingning got up at some point, holding the pile of things that Anshicheng bought, shouting at him in a low voice.
Chen Liang jumped down the big tree and walked towards Qingning curiously. When he arrived under the hut, he leaned against Qingning to see what she was going to do.
Qingning then put down the pile of things, then squatted on the ground and divided the food into person: "This part is from Taoist Master Stupid, this part is from Qingning. This part is from Taoist Master Stupid, this part is from Qingning. This part is from Taoist Master Stupid, this part is from Qingning..."
Chen Liang only noticed that the large amount of food that Qingning bought was two or two bags, and there was no separate existence.
"Master Benny will definitely not eat these things, so Qingning ate a lot of food in Anshi City. Some of them are delicious, some are very unpalatable. Qingning bought all these delicious foods, and bought two servings, one serving of Qingning and one serving of Taoist Benny." Qingning put a bunch of things in front of Shen Liang, put another bunch of things in front of him, and said very seriously.
The last one I got were those two pears. Qingning gave the pear that Chen Liang found as his own, and the rest was handed over to Chen Liang.
"Master Benny, do you know?" Qing Ning held the retrieved pear tightly in his hand like a treasure, and suddenly said softly, "People in this world say that pears cannot be eaten separately, and those who eat them will eventually separate. Qing Ning thought that Master Benny would also taste the taste of the world like Qing Ning. But no matter what, Qing Ning would never eat a pear with Master Benny."
