Chapter 160 Four Rich Women's Businessmen 13

If Li Lingjing didn't mention it, Shi Xianyu might not pay attention to who lives next door.

But when Li Lingjing mentioned it, Shi Xianyu became curious. After all, she sometimes went in and out of mustard seed space. If there were some people who like to inquire about right and wrong, or gangsters living next door, she would consider changing her residence.

When Li Lingjing told her, she looked so serious. Could it be that some evil person lived next door?

Apricot tree is planted near the base of the wall. Now at the end of April, the apricot flowers on the tree have turned from red to white, and the trees are covered with white velvet like snowflakes. Several of the branches extend into the next yard.

Shi Xianyu looked up for a while, and finally decided to go up and take a look.

She is good at it now. Although she is not a martial arts master, she is also agile and agile compared to ordinary people.

I was afraid of stepping on the branches, so I stepped on it and jumped onto the wall - buzz! The branches bounced up! The pink and white apricot petals fell down, and a rain of petals sprinkled.

Shi Xianyu couldn't help but be stunned.

She saw a man sitting under the apricot tree.

I don’t know when I was there, wearing a sky-blue cotton gown, with handsome eyebrows, fair skin, and even pale snow. A few petals fell on his long black hair, highlighting his poetic and picturesque demeanor.

He just sat quietly among the colorful fallen flowers, looking at her with dark eyes, his thin lips slightly raised, and he faintly smiled.

Shi Xianyu came back to his senses and his cheeks became slightly hot.

She was somewhat embarrassed to see her climbing the wall. She glanced at the apricot blossoms on the branches, then reached out to break a branch, and explained embarrassedly: "I'll come up to pick flowers."

The man smiled faintly, didn't say anything, but gently swept down the petals on the book in his hand, then turned the heavy wooden wheelchair and slowly returned to the house.

Shi Xianyu turned around silently, jumped back to his yard, and the face of the man just now appeared in his mind...

"It's a pity..." She thought for a while and murmured to herself, "Strange, she should be a scholar, why did Li Lingjing react so much?"

She couldn't think of this, so she put it down for a while, found an empty bottle in the house, added some water, and inserted the newly folded apricot blossom branches.

——The shape of the apricot blossom is very similar to that of plum blossoms and peach blossoms. The interesting thing is its color. When the apricot blossoms are buds, they are bright rose-red. As the flowers slowly expand, the color will become lighter and lighter until they turn pure white.

Shixianyu believes that white is the most beautiful time for apricot blossoms in their lives, but it also means that they are about to wither.

She looked out the window thinking.

At this angle, you can see half of the apricot branches stretching out from the other side of the wall.

She remembered that moment again... The snow-white petals were flying, and the man under the tree was covered with the rain of flowers. He raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes passing through the breeze and fallen flowers, with a faint smile, a little alienated, but also friendly and friendly.

Although Shi Xianyu had not learned medical skills seriously, he followed Shen Xiao to identify herbs and learned some medical principles to a greater or lesser extent. The other party looked obviously insufficient in qi and blood. His pale skin color and slightly blue hair showed that he had been poisoned for a long time. Now it seems that he has become difficult to walk. It seems that he is... he is about to die.

Who would he be? Why would he rent this small courtyard in the temple?... Will he be a pilgrim from another place? Stay in the temple temporarily and take care of his health?

Shi Xianyu's questions were answered soon.

In the evening, the gate of the courtyard was snapped.

Although Li Lingjing had reminded him, Shi Xianyu still opened the gate fearlessly.

There was a middle-aged man wearing dark gray clothes outside. He said that middle-aged may not be accurate enough because his face was only about thirty years old, but he looked old and had a mustache.

The other party held a stack of pastries in his hand and said politely: "My name is Ding Er. My son and I have just moved here and lived next door. As the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. We will disturb us here for a long time. This is a snack brought from our hometown. I will send it to you for a try."

Shi Xianyu took the snack and said "Thank you".

Xue Ding said again: "We are new to us, and we don't know what the environment is here. Where do we have to go to eat and drink water on weekdays?"

Shi Xianyu said: "You can buy food in the vegetarian hall or make it yourself. There are many farmers at the foot of the mountain selling their own vegetables on the roadside, and there is also meat. You can buy water in the vegetarian hall, or go down the mountain to carry water by yourself."

After a pause, she reminded him again: "After all, there is a temple in front, so if you make meat, it is best not to have too much oil and meat smell."

Xue Ding smiled and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for reminding me, Taoist Master practices Taoism and is very clear about Buddhist precepts. I wonder how he lived in front of the Buddha?"

Shi Xianyu was slightly stunned, "This... you don't know. Tao and Buddha are actually neighbors, and they occasionally come to each other's doors."

Xue Ding: “…………”

"Where are you?" Shi Xianyu asked curiously, "Why do you live here?"

Xue Ding adjusted his expression again and said with a sad look: "This time, my son failed the exam, but he met the shameless thief who stole the money. Now he has no money to return home. Fortunately, the abbot is kind and allows us to stay here temporarily."

"Ah... Then you can't go home, what are you going to do in the future?" Shi Xianyu asked sympathetically.

Xue Ding shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, I can only take one step and look at it."

Xue Ding looked up and asked Shi Xianyu: "When will the Taoist priest live here?"

Shi Xianyu said: "I have a fate with this place. When the fate is gone, I will naturally leave."

Xue Ding's mouth twitched slightly, "...Then, Taoist priest, I'll go back and take care of the young master first."

"Well, go slowly." Shi Xianyu waved at him generously.

Xue Ding forced a smile and turned around and left.

When he returned to the yard, King Ning was reading a book in the room. He heard the sound of his return, raised his eyes and then looked back on the pages. He asked slowly: "Have the thing been sent?"

"I've sent it." Xue Ding walked into the house in a frustration. Her face was no longer as gentle and steady as before, but was full of irritability. "I didn't ask anything. I asked her why she lived here. She said that the two families of Buddhism and Taoism visited each other. I asked her how long she would stay. She said she would live until she was not destined to live."

Ning Yuan laughed silently.

"Young Master, I think this girl is very suspicious!" Xue Ding frowned and said, "Why did she live in the temple for no reason? She is so beautiful and strange. Could she be a female fairy?"

"Where are so many fairies coming from the bright world?" Ning Yuan asked with a faint smile, "Where is the other one?"

"The other one is easy to inquire, I've asked clearly." Xue Ding replied seriously, "The other one is the daughter of the Li family of the cloth merchant in the city, named Li Lingjing. She married the only son of the Xie family. Because she was unable to have children and was violent, she injured her husband several times. So she was kicked out of the house and sent to the temple to reflect on her mistakes. When she heard that the letter of divorce had been sent, the two families are now arguing over the dowry list, and it is estimated that there will be a result in the past few days."

Ning Yuan put down the book in his hand and thought, "One is a abandoned woman, the other is a female Taoist priest. It's interesting to live like this two people together..."
