The days of interpenetration with Fahai [Faqing]

Chapter 21 Tooth Mark

That night, I had a nightmare.

In the dream, I saw the white-fronted tiger with dangling eyes that died at my hands again.The difference is that he is younger and more proud than my impression, perched on the top of a high mountain, looking down at the countless ghosts rushing into the crying and fleeing crowd, dragging a few out from time to time, killing them and offering them Sacrifice to him.

I was not among the group of frightened people, far away, as if I had been brought into a relatively safe dense forest by someone.I clearly don't know any of those people, but watching them keep falling down, I actually feel heartbroken, and the anger swirls straight to the top of my head, almost swallowing me.

I really wanted to save people, but I was pushed from behind and staggered. I could only turn around with tears in my eyes, and ran in the opposite direction, non-stop, non-stop.

"Brother, I'm afraid."

Childish voices kept coming from my ears. I looked down, and there was a little man in my arms, wearing a flowered padded jacket and tiger-toed shoes. I was too scared to open my eyes.I was thinking, I must protect him, but my arms were empty, the cotton jacket was missing, and there were no tiger-toed shoes.

Horrified in my heart, I turned my head to see——

The little man was snatched away by the grinning ghost, and was torn to pieces in an instant.

Not far away, a man in an official robe was thrown to the ground by the white tiger spirit.He struggled to turn his head to look at me, blood and tears flowed from his black eyes, his mouth was still opening and closing:

"Wende, run."

I woke up with a fright.

There are still familiar places in front of me, such as Buddha statues, scriptures, and futons.My inner shirt was already drenched in cold sweat. I was still in shock, but suddenly I felt relieved, clutching my chest, panting heavily.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Fahai's memory just now.He once said that he had a feud with the white tiger spirit, so what I saw in my dream was the scene of the tragedy that year, and what I experienced should also be Fa Hai's mood at that time.

He was so young at that time, not as tall as a clump of wormwood, and he had to face the blood of his relatives.No wonder the young monk hurried down the mountain because he was not good at learning skills. Probably because he wanted to avenge his relatives, and the urgency had become unbearable.

Fahai's slightly rapid breathing sounded from beside me. In the darkness, I leaned forward to touch him, but it was in vain.He was not in his original position, he must have moved around while he was drowsy and rolled off the futon.

It's really worrying, like a child.

I crawled over, half dragged and half hugged Fa Hai back to the small bed, and took his temperature forehead to forehead. He still had a fever, but it was much better than before.

Going back to my own futon, I felt so cramped that I couldn't fall back asleep.I sat there with my knees crossed in a daze for a while, and suddenly remembered that just before I woke up, I seemed to have been bitten by a tiger on my calf.The wound from the tiger's mouth was dripping with blood. At that time, the bones could be seen deep. I don't know if there were any scars left?

I carefully rolled up the trouser legs, only to see that the place where I was bitten in my memory left two rows of teeth marks, which are still clearly visible today.

I leaned over, opened my mouth, moved close to the tooth marks and made a gesture, and found that the horizontal row was three times as long as that of Fa Hai.Can't help sighing, the stinky tiger's teeth are really good, it's a good thing that he didn't bite him that day, otherwise half of his life would have to be confessed.

"What are you doing!"

Fa Hai's angry voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and before I could shut my mouth, he had rushed over and pushed me.I fell to the ground, grinning my teeth in pain, thinking about why Fahai was angry this time, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and I opened my mouth and shouted:

"You misunderstood me, I didn't touch your little brother! Really!"

All of a sudden, all the surrounding candles were lit up, reflecting on Fa Hai's face, flickering, making the embarrassing blush on his cheeks more obvious.

But his anger was obviously still there: "Monster, I really regret that I spared your life that day!"

"I regret it too." I echoed very sincerely, "I regret that I was nosy back then, otherwise, the rabbit still owes me a large carrot debt now."

Fahai snorted coldly, apparently dissatisfied with my comparing him with carrots.I rubbed my head and got up, and stared at him for a while, thinking that going on like this is really not an option.Leaving aside the monk's quarrelsome temper, just saying that he only allows me to be a vegetarian will seriously affect my appetite.

"Well, since you don't like me, and I don't like you, let's not stay together." I waved my hand decisively, "Until you find a way to change it back, you are Xiaoqing, and I am Fahai, let's go where each other should go. You go to my sister and continue to play her maid, and I go to Jinshan Temple and continue to be your monk. No one is allowed to reveal the truth. That's it. You are sick now. When you get better, we will leave the tower."

"I don't pretend to be a maid." He held his head high and said two words in disgust: "Shame."

"Shameful?" I nodded, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't pretend, but you must explain to Xu Xian that I am not a demon, and neither is my sister."

"A monster is a monster." Fa Hai said contemptuously, "Xu Xian will not know, unless he is too stupid. Besides, he has been to Caishikou, and the neighbors around him know it too. Even if you go back, they will never tolerate it." you."

Isn't he just too stupid.

I didn't say this, in order to maintain Xu Xian's image in front of outsiders.

"Whether he knows or not, you have to tell." I insisted, "I will help you. What I say should be more credible. Don't worry about it, neighbors. I asked about it when I went to buy medicine. He has moved away with my sister, to Suzhou City. I think no one will recognize me there."

Fa Hai took a deep look at me, as if gloating a bit: "Your sister, I don't want you anymore."

"Nonsense." I bit my lower lip and said bravely, "It's because I didn't want to cause her any trouble, so I haven't contacted her all this time. She went to Suzhou as a way to delay the attack, to avoid the limelight. She knew I would go find her." Hers, so it must have left a mark along the way, and I will understand when I see it."

Fa Hai didn't answer, his eyes were cold. Under such eyes, it seemed that all the thoughts he tried to hide were invisible.

I was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at him, so I hugged my knees, buried my head in the crook of my arms, and changed the subject:

"By the way, I have to teach you how to do Xiaoqing. Otherwise, my sister can tell it at a glance."

Before he finished speaking, Fa Hai pulled his head up and pulled him up.I figured it out, as long as I had any suspicion of contacting his little brother, Fa Hai would immediately find out, and then mercilessly kill this suspicion in the cradle.

That being the case, why not eunuch himself and hide the little brother where no one can find him?

Anyway, I won't be able to use it in my life.

I couldn't hide my words in my heart, so I immediately told Fa Hai about this once-and-for-all move, but in return he gave him even more contemptuous eyes and attacks.

Next, I taught him the tricks of playing me, that is hardworking, dexterous, and smiling.In return, he also reluctantly told me the secrets of being a monk, that is, chanting scriptures, meditating, and catching demons.

I rubbed my chin and thought about it, and thought I could do it except for the last one.

Compared with being a monk, being Xiaoqing is actually very simple. I taught Fahai my signature smile and let him go to practice by himself.As for myself, I went to the bookshelves full of scriptures, took out one, and flipped through it.

Not long after, I felt someone tap my shoulder, wiped my saliva immediately, and opened my eyes with difficulty, only to realize that I had fallen asleep leaning on the bookshelf before I knew it.Fahai smiled at me, that smile made me suspect that I was looking in the mirror, so I immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Good smile!"

He closed his smile, glanced at me faintly, shook his head, and began to sort out the scriptures on the bookshelf that seemed to never be finished.No matter how you look at it, it looks like a sarcasm, and I can't help but feel angry for a while.

"What do you mean? Look down on me? Well, Master Qing will tell you today. If you don't finish reciting these broken scriptures today, I will take your surname!" I suddenly stepped on the wooden chair, provocatively Wiping the tip of his nose, he said aggressively.

However, anyone can brag, but keeping promises can only be done by a gentleman.

I am not a gentleman, especially in front of a pile of broken scriptures, I would rather be an unfettered snake.

"I didn't say it, but these scriptures are so boring! Also, why do you have so many broken rules? Why are you strictly adhering to the precepts, and why are you not eating after noon? It gives me a headache just watching it, let alone following it."

My hands were fine at first, I put one hand between my cheeks and turned the pages of the book with the other, but at this moment, I was tossed by a pile of scriptures that could only be torn and bitten, and I could only handle them lightly.The top of the monk's head was bald, there was no place to insert a finger, and my hands had nowhere to rest, which made me even more annoyed.

"It's so annoying to memorize so much! Oh, don't study, don't study!"

"My last name?"

"I will take your surname," I said with a chuckle, and bowed flatteringly, "Listen, Zen master, from today on, the younger one will be called Faqing."

"My surname is not Fa." Fa Hai suddenly turned his head away, held a candle and walked to the depths of the sutra shelf, leaving only a more profound back view for me, "Fa Hai is the name given to me by Master. Ordinary family, the surname is Pei."

"Pei? Pei Qing? It sounds like he's better than Faqing. Well, it's not bad, so I'll accept it reluctantly."

His back paused, and he seemed to nod: "Very good."

As if I had received a pardon, I straightened up, stretched my waist, snapped my fingers, and strode straight towards the brightening sky outside Leifeng Pagoda.

After being tortured by the scriptures for so long, I can't wait to go roll in the grass, and then hide in a place where there is no Fa Hai, and have a good sleep with his little brother who has no future.
