Chapter 22 The twenty-first round welcomes immortals in a small room

But when Yang Xingyuan and He Jianchen were reading "The Immortal Buddha Magazine", Wu Bibo burst out laughing.Don't know what he was doing.Yang Xingyuan said: "What funny thing did you see again, so happy." Wu Bibo said: "Look, there is a lot of wonderful theory in the column of this note. After all, I worshiped Lu Dongbin as my teacher in the underworld. He also followed Han Tuizhi and Liu Zihou to learn ancient prose. This is really beyond the reach of Taoists." Yang Xingyuan said: "Is this a miracle? It's even better if you look at this record. "Speaking, put the magazine on the table and let everyone read it together. What is written in the magazine is: On the seventh day of the seventh month of November, Emperor Fuyou came to King's Landing, and today's son specially invites saints from all religions from the East and West to gather for the purpose of reorganizing religious groups. The saints come together at the same time, it is very solemn, and the most revered holy gods and Buddhas are all in the same rank, you must be very respectful. There are three salutes, one prostration, two prayers, and three bows, because the etiquette and customs held by the saints of the East and the West are different. Manjushri descended first, Guanyin Bodhisattva descended second, Tathagata descended first, Master Zilu descended first, Master Ziyou descended first, the most holy Confucius descended. , The great sage Jesus descends. Mohammed, the Muslim saint descends. The emperor ordered, all living beings be quiet! Hereby the saints of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, respectfully invite the Western sage Jesus to preach the way. Jesus is shown in Latin, the most holy Confucius is the son of the master. , when I returned from studying in the Western Regions, I was ordered to translate it into English. There are many students who know English, so they can translate it into Chinese by themselves.

He Jianchen said with a smile: "This Lu Dongbin's magical power is really not small. He can invite the pillars of the Eastern and Western religions, but I don't know how big the social circle of the Elimination of Evil Society is. Come to these saints and teach them where to go." Sit?" Wu Bibo said: "Song Zhiwen worshiped Lu Dongbin as his teacher, and Ziyou went to the Western Regions to study. These dead ancients can really be liberated and reformed." He Jianchen said: "These strange news are really fresh. I think it will be very interesting if we can visit the club once." Yang Xingyuan said: "It's not difficult to visit, as long as someone in the club introduces you, you can go.

But to enter, you have to kowtow to the emperor's image. "He Jianchen said with a smile: "Whether Lu Dongbin is a god or not, he is always an ancient man.It is not condescension for us to kowtow to the ancients. "Wu Bibo said:" You said just now that the emperor's portrait was also drawn by Fuji? "Yang Xingyuan said: "If you want to ask about this matter, it will be more interesting. According to the people in their club, Lu Dongbin once told them on the altar, saying that at a certain time, I will take a real portrait and meet you.At that time, you can point your camera at the sky, and my image will naturally appear.After they got this oracle, of course they didn't believe it.On that day, everyone fasted and bathed, and the emperor asked the emperor to take a picture with fragrant flowers.I put the camera in the yard facing the sky and took a video.Strange to say, after the photo was taken, a shadow of a Dao outfit appeared on the dry board.At this time, the fellow members beside him couldn't help being elated, shouting long live three times, and kowtowed to the air like garlic.Later, when this photo was developed, it turned out that it was a man with an ancient sword on his back, a cloud brush in his hand, delicate features, long beard, and pretending to be a fairy. good.After seeing it, they became more determined and believed in the spiritual manifestation of the emperor, so they enlarged this photo and enshrined it on the altar. "Wu Bibo heard this, and couldn't help clapping his hands in amazement, and said:" Sure enough, I want to pay my respects.But I don't know which photo studio took this photo. "Yang Xingyuan said:" The secret must not be leaked, how could they use their hands in the photo studio, naturally it was taken by our friends sincerely and respectfully. "He Jianchen said: "I don't believe that aerial photography can take a picture of a fairy. "Yang Xingyuan said:" Fortunately, the magnified fairy statue is still enshrined in the altar of eliminating evil, which is a piece of evidence that the case is solid.To tell you the truth, I have been to this agency once, and the image is indeed an enlarged photo, which is not fake at all.Believe it or not, as soon as you see the photo, you have nothing to say. "He Jianchen couldn't help being happy when he heard this. He said: "Sure enough, such a spiritual manifestation is indeed a living Bodhisattva.I'd love to check it out.Since you have acquaintances in the agency, please try to introduce us to have a look, okay? "Yang Xingyuan said:" When outsiders go to visit, they have to go through their chief dean or Taoist leader in advance, and they can't decide whether to agree or not.After two days, I will write back to you again. "Wu Bibo said with a smile:" No matter what, please do your best. "Yang Xingyuan said: "There is a Yang Xuemeng, one of my family members, who often runs around Zong Dahai's place, and is also a member of the Elimination of Evil Society. If you want to introduce someone to visit, he can do it.Wait for me to talk to him in a day or two. "He and Wu said it was very good, talked for a while, and went separately.

Two days later, Yang Xingyuan took a little time to find Yang Xuemeng at the Republic Hotel.He happened to be at home. At this time, he was lying on the table with his pen and ink, and there was a pile of reference books next to him, and he was writing a poem.Seeing Yang Xingyuan coming, he put down his pen and hurriedly greeted him to sit down.Yang Xingyuan said: "You are the busiest person, how do you have such leisure time?" Yang Xuemeng said: "I can't do anything about poetry. Yesterday, Lu Zu made a few poems to help the chaos in the Elimination of Evil Society. We must reconcile the rhyme. The people present, after three or four hours, reluctantly handed in the paper. , are not very good. But this poem is going to be printed in "Xianfo Magazine", so it has to be modified to look better, so I took it back and remade it.

But the "Fairy and Buddha Magazine" is waiting to be printed, so I have to hurry up. "Yang Xingyuan said: "I'm here to visit your company. I have two friends who want to pay their respects to Lu Zu's real image, so I specially asked me to discuss it with you. Can you introduce them to have a look. "Yang Xuemeng smiled and said: "That's the thing, you journalists have sharp eyes and ears, so what else do you not know.Things in the world are always strange when you hear them, but they are normal when you see them. " Yang Xingyuan said: "According to what you say, the Bodhisattva's appearance is all fake." Yang Xuemeng said: "It's not fake." He refused to go on.Yang Xingyuan said: "Let me tell you, I also visited once, and I am really skeptical." Yang Xuemeng smiled and said: "You said you were a little skeptical, let me ask you, what do you doubt?" Yang Xingyuan said: "I hear Speaking of those who support the spirit, there are certain people, and not everyone can help. Then, isn’t this a big flaw?” Yang Xuemeng shook his head and said, “It’s not a flaw. It’s the same even if you invite strangers to help the spirit. I can help you out the words." Yang Xingyuan said: "Except for this point, I think they make sacrifices to the gods as if they are gods. I really have no other way to prove that it is not true." Yang Xuemeng said: "Not only you can't say it It’s fake, even people who run in the club every day, who can say it’s fake?” Yang Xingyuan said: “The one I believe in most is that photo of Lu Zu. I heard it was taken in the air in front of the public. , It’s really incredible.” Yang Xuemeng said: “It’s nothing unusual, I’ve already taken several photos like this. A few days ago, Zhang Xian came to the altar to give instructions, and he is willing to show people the real image. It will take about a day or two , is about to be implemented." Yang Xingyuan listened, jumped up with a smile, and said: "This opportunity is great.

In any case, you will take us to look up that day and see how it looks like. "Yang Xuemeng said: "If you are alone, I can still think about it. If you want to bring friends, you must first notify the club and ask the emperor's teacher for instructions. Whether it will succeed or not, I can't say for sure. "Yang Xingyuan said: "If it is for the sake of expressing the spirit, of course people are welcome to visit, so why do you need to ask for instructions? "Yang Xuemeng said: "Our emperor and teacher, all matters in the society, no matter how big or small, are all personal.In the first half of last year, for his old man's birthday, the repertoires of the performances were all personally ordered.When singing, two more gasoline lamps were lit on the stage, and the old man even ordered that the light be too strong to hinder the audience's eyes, so they should be removed immediately to save money.By analogy, you know that the emperor's teacher's hole is faint. "Yang Xingyuan smiled and said: "Lu Zu was originally a romantic and drunk person, since he drank and wrote poems without restraint, he must not be a layman when it comes to rhythm.

After watching the play, did you make a play review? "Yang Xuemeng said with a smile: "Although there are no drama reviews, there are a few criticisms.There was one who sang Zhengsheng, and one who sang Tsing Yi. The old man even gave each of them two discs of offering fruit. "Yang Xingyuan said: "Why are there so few rewards? "Yang Xuemeng said:" Is this too little?The whole foreign money donated by the members of the club is only a cup and a half of tea, and one or two pieces of fruit.Now that the whole plate of fruit is given out, it is worth twenty-four points of face. "Yang Xingyuan said: "Why don't you reward the opera singer with a few pennies? "Yang Xuemeng smiled and remained silent. Yang Xingyuan also felt that this question was inappropriate, so he let it go. He said again: "On the day when the fairy statue will be illuminated, please take me to visit. "Yang Xuemeng said:" To tell you the truth, it is today.If you are willing to kowtow, I can take you there, your dear friend is going, but you have to wait a little longer. "Because Yang Xingyuan wanted to see the statue of Zhaoxian, he agreed.

After sitting for a while, when Yang Xuemeng finished writing the poem, the two of them came to the Evil Elimination Club together. When we arrived at the entrance of the Elixir Society, we saw a lot of cars and horses, which was very lively.Walking all the way to the inner courtyard, I saw a word about a foot in size written on yellow paper on the four walls, which said the words solemn and sincere. The surroundings were quiet, there was no sound at all, only the smell of sandalwood candle oil, It came in bursts.When Yang Xuemeng came here, he didn't even cough anymore.He led Yang Xingyuan to sit in a small reception room next to him.Said: "Wait here for a while, let me go into the altar to have a look, I didn't come, so don't go." He went into the altar after speaking.

Walking into the altar, I saw Cao Xiaofeng, the chief clerk of the society, kneeling in front of Lu Zu, kowtowing repeatedly.When Yang Xuemeng saw it, he guessed that the emperor must be angry, and he stood aside, not daring to make a sound.On the sand table over there, an order was issued, asking Cao Xiaofeng to donate 2,000 yuan to solve the drought in the surrounding suburbs.Cao Xiaofeng kowtowed his head three times and said: "If you go back to the emperor's teacher, I have been idle in Beijing for the past few years, and I have no income at all. Even if I have a little savings, it has been used up." Charity, but it is so dodged, how can we promote it? Fifty palms are punished, and those who think that they are not loyal to social affairs are admonishment! Order Wu Neng Wukong to execute the sentence, ten thousand." Cao Xiaofeng thought to himself when he heard that he wanted to slap his palm He was also a Dao Yin himself, how could he be insulted like this, he quickly kowtowed three times on the ground, and said: "I would rather go back to raise funds, and donate as much as I get." The ghost said: "Nonsense! Now even if you donate money, you have to give fifty palms." Cao Xiaofeng took a peek, and saw that the two supporters had serious faces, and they were not as relaxed as they used to be.I thought to myself: "Yes, a week earlier, I said something to them in front of the chief dean. Today they are taking revenge."

He kowtowed his head again, knelt straight, and said: "Please forgive me, Master." At this moment, chaotic pens were flying on the sand table, writing "Dada Da Da"!The two masters who were ordered to carry out the execution, the two gentlemen named Wu Neng and Wu Kong, had always been at odds with Cao Xiaofeng, so they walked over to Cao Xiaofeng and said: "The emperor is already angry, don't you still receive the punishment?" Take the ruler and come over, and start to do it.Cao Xiaofeng became anxious, jumped up and ran outside, raised his head to the sky, and shouted: "This is fake! This is fake! Don't play tricks on me like this, and make me puncture this paper tiger. Everyone doesn't like it." Nice." He said and ran away.At this time, Ge Ganchen and a group of members who were here all changed their colors, thinking that Cao Xiaofeng disobeyed the oracle and deviated from the scriptures, which is not bad!Ge Ganchen threw down his hat, and quickly knelt down in front of Lu Zu's god, saying that he was incapable of leading because of lack of integrity, and now he is kneeling here, asking the emperor to punish him.The priest said: "My son is not guilty, get up." Ge Ganchen knelt on the ground and said, "Cao Xiaofeng has done a lot of service in social affairs. I hope the emperor will forgive him once. My disciples will definitely teach him to come and apologize." These members, seeing Ge Ganchen couldn't get up on his knees, so he had to kneel down and intercede with Cao Xiaofeng.

Luan Shang commented: "Xiaofeng's crime is sincere and unforgivable. I beg you to forgive him for his first offence." Everyone kowtowed three times when they saw this instruction, and then they got up.The priest criticized again: "Li Youquan listens to the instructions." Li Youquan, who was standing next to him, hurriedly knelt down.The priest said: "Would you like to donate 1,000 yuan for disaster relief?" Seeing the situation just now, Li Youquan dared not say anything, and he believed in Lu Zu the most, and he would not disobey orders.He said: "Disciple Daoyu donated 1,000 yuan. Another 500 yuan was donated to subsidize the service personnel of the association." On the sand table, the pen flicked around and said: "Good! I know you are a great philanthropist." Chuan Tu Erliang, to reward meritorious service.He also commented: "I know that Yuzi Xiaoyin has a lot of Sichuan scholars in his possession, so I can give plums on my behalf. However, I can't help begging my neighbors to give it to him. Haha!" The Sichuan soil in Yu Xiaoyin's house is all old products from 1967, hidden in jars, sealed and buried in the soil.This is his own enjoyment, and no one except his old lady wants to get involved.Somehow Lu Zu found out about this matter, and he admired the emperor's spirit so much, he kowtowed three times on the ground, and said, "I would like to send Li Youquan two liang of Sichuan soil as ordered. "The jishang said: "Haha! Immortals don't need this." Yang Xuemeng saw that Lu Zu had calmed down, and when Yu Xiaoyin got up, he knelt down and said, "I have a friend Yang Xingyuan who wants to come inside the altar to pay homage, but now outside the altar Waiting for the order, can you let him in?" The sage said: "Yes." Yang Xuemeng thanked Lu Zu, and went outside to invite Yang Xingyuan. Yang Xingyuan was waiting impatiently, and complained: "Why have you been in here for so long?" Yang Xuemeng said: "Just now the emperor came up with a topic about chanting snow, and he did it just now, and restricted the use of Jiujia rhyme, so he had to hand in the paper on the spot. Driven me to death. I just finished it. "Yang Xingyuan said: "When you write poems with gods, you must have done a good job. Read it to me. "Yang Xuemeng said: "If you don't have time at this time, you can go in with me. "Yang Xingyuan followed him through a large courtyard. Above it was the altar of immortals. The doors and windows were painted resplendently and resplendently. On the altar, there was a statue of Lu Zu, embroidered and hanging down, and the bells were ringing. The purple steel stove on the incense table was burning. It is covered with heavy sandalwood, surrounded by cigarette smoke. There are many scriptures, jade porcelain and antiques on all sides, together with plums, peaches and begonias, just like the flowers grown in the greenhouse. I feel that there is a special world in this room. The people in the altar are wearing long robes Jackets are all respectful and respectful, and they speak in a very low voice, which is really a bit mysterious. When Yang Xuemeng brought Yang Xingyuan in, he first taught him to kowtow to Lu Zu. When things came to an end, Yang Xingyuan resisted To save face, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he knelt down on the cloth cushion in front of the incense table, kowtowed three times, got up and bowed again. But he always felt that he hadn't played this tune for a long time, as if he didn't do it well. It's very suitable. Yang Xingyuan kowtowed his head and stood aside. He saw a large plaque hanging above the statue of Lu Zu. On it was inscribed four large characters "unification of five religions". On the right side of the plaque was inscribed a line of large characters that read "Shangfeng Zanhua Purdue rescued the catastrophe and rescued the great emperor, and also conferred the compassionate Supreme Buddha of Infinite Life, the five religions belonged to Allah, and supervised the aftermath of Huayang's floods, droughts, military disasters, and Chunyang Daojun." He thought: "I only know Lu Zu was one of the Eight Immortals, but unexpectedly he had many part-time jobs.However, this unification of the five religions is very inexplicable. In China, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are called the three religions. Now two religions are added for no reason. Where did they come from?Could it be that Jesus is also included? "It's inconvenient to ask this question at this time, I just keep it in my heart. I saw that there was already writing on the sand table over there, and there was an ink pen and yellow paper next to it, and someone recorded it respectfully. It turned out that Xiaohe Immortal came to the altar, and he criticized:" Zhang Xian performed fishing on Taohua Island in Zhejiang Province this morning, and in the afternoon he went to Putuo Mountain to invite the Compassionate Master to go to Gushan to explore plum blossoms.At this time, I have probably arrived in Hangzhou, and I should come to the altar in an hour. "At this time, a person made a bow to the sky, smiled at the sky, looked at the sky and asked: "Xiao Hexian said so, he must have come from the sea, have you arrived at Gushan? " The pen was on the sand table, pointing here and there, dancing up and down for a while, and someone was still transcribing it.When I looked at it, it said: "Yeah! The area around the lonely mountain is full of lost mountains, and the snow is fragrant into the sea. It is really a wonderful scene in the south of the Yangtze River. When I met Lin Hejing, a scholar, he leaned against a tree and chanted slightly, and the Qing Dynasty was not yet over. "Yang Xingyuan saw what the ji said, so he planned to test the immortal family. He gently said to Yang Xuemeng: "This immortal, since he came from Gushan, why don't you ask him to write two plum blossom poems? " Yang Xuemeng tugged at the skirt of his clothes, then shook his head slightly, as if to express his request to break the law.Seeing this, Yang Xingyuan didn't feel comfortable asking, so she just kept silent.After a while, a servant came in and said: "Yihua Photo Studio, you have come in with a photo frame." The Taoist chief Zong Dahai said: "Just ask him to carry the camera mirror into this Buddhist altar. As for taking pictures, we know that ourselves.They are full of vulgarity, don't offend the gods. "The servants promised several yeses, and retreated. The people in the photo studio put the mirrors and all the things for taking pictures in the yard, and then retreated. At one time, two members of the commune came to the yard. Li, inspected the photographic equipment, shook their heads and said: "It's not very clean. "Chief dean Ge Ganchen said:" Since it is not very clean, how can I take pictures for the gods?It can be carried inside to remove the dirt with sandalwood water. "The two of them took the camera equipment together and went to another room. The community members here are still here to invite the spirits. After about half an hour, the sand table has been approved. The eight immortals Zhang Guolao has already descended to the altar. The head teacher and Taoist priests here all knelt down and asked: "The disciples have obeyed the emperor's teacher's order and are going to take pictures for the old fairy, can we just take pictures?" "The priest said: "The old man traveled to the three mountains on the sea and came here a thousand miles away, and that's why.The mirror is placed in the courtyard, facing north. After a few days, you can see that the dragon bell I painted is old.Ha ha! "After the approval of the shaman, everyone was busy for a while, and the camera was set up in the yard facing the north. Except for the shaman, everyone stood respectfully in the yard, waiting for the fairy family to take pictures. After a while, Zhang Guolao commented on the shaman: "I am already in front of the mirror, so I can take pictures." The shaman saw the instruction and greeted the outside. A phase.The community members who were watching and taking pictures next to them still came into the altar to talk with the altar immortals.Ge Ganchen then ordered the servant to call in the person from Yihua Photo Studio and ask him to verify the glass plate and take it back for washing.The person who took the photo knew that there was a picture of a fairy on it, so he put on a serious look, took the wooden box with the glass pieces, and took it away.Yang Xingyuan saw all the above situations, and there seemed to be no flaws at all.I thought to myself: "Could it be that the fairy portrait is taken away?" With this question in my heart, I still can't quite believe it.After a while, he resigned as a member and came out, and Yang Xuemeng sent it to the gate.Yang Xingyuan said: "The photo taken today is of Zhang Guolao. This old man is always riding a donkey. Is there a donkey in this photo?" Yang Xuemeng said: "Why not? Yesterday, when the little crane fairy came to the altar, he was there. The approval is clear, and it is said that he is riding a donkey backwards. After three days, the film will be developed, and you can see it later." Then they parted, and within a dozen steps, there seemed to be a donkey flying behind them. Running out of the gate of the Elixir Society, he is very handsome with black hair and two white ears. There were many people chasing the donkey, and the donkey ran past Yang Xingyuan. It happened that there was a cart in front of the donkey, which blocked the donkey. A few people caught up and caught the donkey.Next to him was a man in short clothes, panting like a cow, raised his whip, and lashed the donkey.He scolded: "You bastard, you have to run to take a picture, and you have to run again when I give you delicious food. You really don't know how to flatter you." Yang Xingyuan saw this man talking to the donkey, and laughed all the way back.Three days later, he deliberately went to Yihua Photo Studio to see Zhang Guolao's photo, hoping to see it first.The photos had just been packed at this time, and the Chueshe hadn't taken them away. The photo studio thought that Yang Xingyuan was from the Chueshe, so they really took out the photos.Yang Xingyuan took a look, and there was indeed an old man with a white beard riding upside down on a donkey. The donkey was also covered in black hair and had two white ears, so he didn't need to look carefully.I still asked the photo studio to save the photos, and then went home by car. When the car walked to Yingying Xie Street, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Master Yang!" When Yang Xingyuan looked back, it was Li Yun's aunt, A Mao, who nodded and smiled at him, but the car was still pulling. .Amao said: "Let's go slowly (oral abuse), why are you so busy?" Then he chased after him.Yang Xingyuan had no choice but to stop the car and get down.Amao said: "Two days ago, I wanted to call you, and I was afraid that your master would not answer, so I was looking for a nail?" Yang Xingyuan smiled and said, "Are you still looking for me?" Amao said: "Yo Don't say that anymore, I've been sick for several days." When he said that, he held up the medicine bag in his hand and showed it to Yang Xingyuan.Yang Xingyuan said: "Who's sick?" Amao said: "Who's sick? Lao Qi is sick. It's been five days in total. For the first one or two days, he could barely move around, but on the third day he couldn't get up. Because it was really inconvenient for business, I moved to the small house that day. Lao Qi told me several times, please go around. I think the small house is in a mess, so I didn’t dare to invite you because I was afraid that you would think it was dirty. "Yang Xingyuan said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you get sick? What kind of disease is it?" Amao said: "I have a fever all over, and we just fell asleep like this. We don't know what the disease is." He pointed his hand to the east and said, "There were not many houses in the past, and they were our small houses." Speaking of this, smiled.He said again: "We dare not invite you. If Mr. Yang is willing to reward you, you can stop by and see Lao Qi. It's better for me to treat her than to take a dose of medicine." Yang Xingyuan hesitated for a while, and thought: "Go ahead. The two sides have already fallen out, so it’s a bit embarrassing to go; why don’t you go? Have a little more patience.” Amao said: “It’s okay to go and see such a friendship! Do you still remember her childish temper? "Yang Xingyuan was more and more embarrassed by what she said, so I had to follow Ah Mao. The coachman pulled the cart and followed slowly. When I reached the door, it turned out to be a small narrow door, half-opened and half-closed. Ah Mao pushed the door and walked in front, followed by Yang Xingyuan. It was a small yard, with many dilapidated old things piled up under the eaves on both sides, and under the corridor of the upper room, there were piles of firewood on one side, coal pellets on the other, and brooms. The dustpan was smashed into the coal stove frame and piled up. When Yang Xingyuan walked into the yard, Ah Mao had already stepped into the house, and Wuxi's third child had already greeted him. He said, "Hey!Master Yang is here, this is really unexpected, the room is very dirty. "At this time, the people living in the east and west wing rooms were unknown, probably neighbors. Seeing such a young man walking outside, they all looked at him with grimaces.Yang Xingyuan was very embarrassed, and walked into the room with two feet and three feet. Inside the main room, there is a picture of three stars hanging on the top, and a painting table below, for incense burners, candlesticks and the like. There are many gold and silver papers hanging on the wall. The painting table covers a square table with teapots and rice bowls on it. A pile of soy sauce bottles. There is an old cupboard on the side, a white stove, and packed pomegranate trees and oleanders, and the room is almost full.I only felt a greasy smell, which was very smelly from the fire in the white stove.Amao lifted the old white cloth door curtain on the left, and said, "Come in and sit down." Yang Xingyuan walked in, and at a glance saw a half canopy bed above it, covered with a light red old Huasige quilt, half covered by Liyun Body, hair scattered all over the pillow.She turned sideways, wearing a water-red velvet tight, with one hand exposed, and half of her snow-white arm resting on the head of the quilt.At the foot of the quilt, there is another thin blue silk quilt and some lint clothes.There was a tea table beside the bed, on which was a plate of pickles, a pair of chopsticks, and an empty bowl with some porridge left in it.At the foot of the bed was a square stool on which another roll of clothes had been piled up.Yang Xingyuan had no place to sit down, so he stood in front of the bed for a while, then sat next to the edge of the bed.Amao shouted: "Lao Qi, Master Yang is here." Yang Xingyuan shook her hand and said, "Don't call, she's asleep, let her go."Yang Xingyuan saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her eyes felt bigger, her face was snow white, where was there any color?Even the lips are white.The sideburns on both sides of her were scattered over her face.When she saw Yang Xingyuan, she raised her hand to straighten her hair and put it behind her ears. Yang Xingyuan put both hands on the bed, leaned over and said to Li Yun, "Old Qi, how are you?" Li Yun looked at him, nodded slightly, and slowly raised his head Pulling Yang Xingyuan's shirt sleeve with one hand, it took a long time before he said softly: "Why are you here?" Yang Xingyuan pointed to Amao and said, "I heard her say you were sick, so I came to see you. "Amao interrupted and asked: "Ah, would you like some porridge?" Li Yun looked at her and shook her head.Amao said: "Make some lily powder and eat it, okay?" Li Yun said: "Don't want it." Amao said: "Ah, do you want some tea?" Li Yun frowned, turned around and said : "Ouch! It's so annoying!" Yang Xingyuan laughed when she saw that she was still such a child.At this time, Wuxi's third son had already gone to get some tea, but Ah Mao met Li Yun's setback and left too.Yang Xingyuan held Li Yun's hand and said, "Oh! Why is it so hot?" Li Yun turned over and lifted most of the quilt, exposing her tight red body outside the quilt.Yang Xingyuan quickly dragged the head of the quilt, gently covered her, pressed the quilt head again, and said: "You are not fooling around, how do you take off the quilt when you have a fever? If you have a cold, it's okay." !" Li Yun stuck her face out of the quilt, forced a dry smile, and said, "I can't cover it." Yang Xingyuan saw that her cheeks were slightly red, and when he touched her, it was as hot as a fire.Then he asked: "This disease is not serious, what kind of doctor did you ask to see it?" Li Yun shook her head, Yang Xingyuan said: "You are really childish." Having said that, she turned her head and saw that there was no one in the room.Said: "You have no relatives here, if you don't take care of yourself, others won't take care of you much." This sentence moved Li Yun's mind, she curled her mouth, and suddenly burst into tears.Yang Xingyuan asked softly: "Aren't they asking you a lot?" Li Yun saw and asked, sobbing more and more, shrinking into the quilt and crying.Yang Xingyuan patted the quilt lightly and said, "Don't cry, they don't know what's going on when they see it?" As he spoke, he lifted the quilt, and saw Li Yun covering her face with her hands, lying on the pillow and dripping tears.Yang Xingyuan said: "It's my fault. One sentence made you cry." When she said that, she only heard footsteps outside the door, Yang Xingyuan hurriedly covered her again and patted her twice.Seeing Wuxi's youngest came in with a teapot in his hand, he said to Yang Xingyuan, "Look! She fell asleep and told the guest to sit aside." Yang Xingyuan said, "It doesn't matter! We didn't just meet each other in a day or two." The youngest in Wuxi said: "Isn't it? Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to invite you in to sit in such a dirty room." Then, he took a towel, wiped a teacup, and handed Yang Xingyuan a cup of tea.Seeing her being so polite, Yang Xingyuan had no choice but to deal with her for a while.Because I still have something to do, I have to leave.When Li Yun heard that he was going to leave, she stuck her head out of the quilt, looked at Yang Xingyuan, and waved at him with one hand, Yang Xingyuan walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and held Li Yun The hand said: "I didn't plan to come to see you today, so I didn't spare time. I don't have anything to do tomorrow morning. I'll come and see you early, okay?" Li Yun frowned and said: "No! I don't!" When she said that, she held his hand and refused to let go.Yang Xingyuan had no choice, so he sat for a while, talked a lot, and agreed to come tomorrow morning, Li Yun just let him go.Yang Xingyuan walked out of the room, came back again, and asked Li Yun, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Li Yun shook her head on the pillow a few times.Yang Xingyuan went to the bed again, held her hand and said, "I'll buy you some candy and raisins, okay?" Li Yun's eyebrows were about to wrinkle, a little impatient, and suddenly she forced a smile at Yang Xingyuan, nodding slightly. nod.Yang Xingyuan just left. Early the next morning, after Yang Xingyuan washed his face, he took a car to the Xiangchang Candy Company to buy more than one yuan of candy and a large box of raisins, and then went all the way to Cherry Xie Street.He ran into a flower seller on the way, and suddenly his heart moved, and he bought two more pots of half-bloomed rouge plum blossoms.When we arrived at the door of Liyun's small house, we asked the coachman to bring the plum blossoms in first, and then went inside with a large bag of candy and raisins.Amao held a mouthwash bowl in one hand and a toothbrush in the other. He was going to the door to rinse his mouth. He said with a smile: "Master Yang, good morning! Yang Xingyuan nodded with a smile and asked: "Lao Qi woke up Already? "Amao frowned and said: "Last night, I made a fuss all night, and I didn't sleep until dawn, which made Mama very tired.When I got up just now, she went back to her room to sleep. "Yang Xingyuan was much happier when he heard that Wuxi's third child had fallen asleep, so he stepped lightly and walked into Liyun's room. Looking at the bed, it was covered with two quilts, and only some fluffy hair was exposed on the pillow. He But without disturbing Li Yun, he put down the candy and raisins, and hurriedly brought in two pots of plum blossoms and put them on the mirror stand. At this time, Amao was lighting up the fire in the stove in the yard. Yang Xingyuan was sitting alone in the room, cold Yes, I didn’t take off my hat or my coat, but I just walked around the room. I got up early in the morning and didn’t drink tea or eat snacks. I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. After a while, Ah Mao walked in and smiled. Said: "Master Yang is afraid of the cold? "Yang Xingyuan said:" It doesn't matter. "Amao pointed to the bed and said: "I don't think there is anyone who treats her like this.She is well, but thanks a lot. "Yang Xingyuan said:" Thank me for what? I didn't spend anything. "Amao said:" Mr. Yang, what you said is really saying that we, the people who live in the house, don't know what is good or bad at all. "Yang Xingyuan was about to speak, but Li Yun snorted, stretched out a thin hand from under the quilt, and shouted: "I want tea. "Auntie took down the warm kettle hanging on the wall, poured half a cup of boiled water, and put it in front of the bed. Li Yun raised her head, saw Yang Xingyuan at a glance, and asked: "When did you come?" "Yang Xingyuan said:" It's been an hour since I came here. "Li Yun said to Amao: "He didn't take off his coat, probably because he was afraid of the cold. "Speaking of which, he let out an ouch, and put his head down again. After a pause, he said, "You also brought fire in." "A Mao stood in front of the bed with half a cup of boiling water in his hand, and said, "Don't you want tea? "Li Yun said:" You put it down, let's make a fire first. "Amao really put down the teacup and went out to make a fire. Yang Xingyuan took off his coat, took the teacup to Liyun's mouth, and said, "I'll pass it to you, okay?" "When Li Yun heard about it, she raised her head slightly, and Yang Xingyuan brought the teacup to her mouth. She pursed her lips, took a sip, and fell down with another ouch. When Yang Xingyuan saw her illness, she was really sick. Shen Zhong said, "Lao Qi, your illness is not serious. I'm afraid the irrelevant doctor you hired may not be able to see it well. I'll take you to the hospital, okay? "Li Yun hummed, and didn't make a sound for a long time. Yang Xingyuan said: "Are you afraid that your mother won't agree?It doesn't matter, although I can't afford much money, I can still afford the medical expenses of a hundred and eighty. "Li Yun hummed and shook her head:" No. "Yang Xingyuan said:" No, why don't you make a sound? "Li Yun said:" At home, I still have Amao and Muma with me.When I went to the hospital, I was left alone, which made me even more uncomfortable. "Yang Xingyuan said: "In the hospital, family members can also go, ask Amao to accompany you. "Li Yun said:" Are there any foreign doctors? "Yang Xingyuan said:" In the hospital, there are some with foreign doctors, and some without foreign doctors.But your disease is not easy to diagnose and treat. I plan to send it to a foreign hospital. "Hearing this, Li Yun shrank back in the quilt and said: "I'm afraid, I won't go! " Seeing her childlike temper, Yang Xingyuan was both funny and pitiful.At this time, Ah Mao came in with a white stove that was raging.After putting down the stove, she smiled at Yang Xingyuan and said, "Master Yang, what are you thinking about? The clothes are wet. "Yang Xingyuan came to realize that he was looking at the window, only thinking about Li Yun's illness, and forgot to put down the teacup in his hand, holding it casually, boiling water flowed out, and a large piece of his lapel was wet. Amao smiled and said:" Lao Qi, get well soon, Master Yang is out of his mind because of your illness. “杨杏园倒闹得怪不好意思的，将茶杯放在茶几上，伸着手站在白炉子边烘火。停了一会，他便把糖果匣子打开，送到梨云枕头边，说道：”你吃不吃？ “梨云把头略微点了一点，他便拣了一粒玫瑰色的，送到梨云嘴里。梨云吃了一粒，杨杏园拣了一粒碧葡萄色的，又要递过去，梨云摇摇头，哼着望里一翻身，不多大一会，又翻转来，闭着眼睛，迷迷糊糊的睡了。杨杏园看着梨云的脸，越发的瘦了，皱着眉对阿毛道：”这是怎样好？ “这句话，梨云又听见了，眼睛复又睁开来，叹了一口气道：”哎哟！救苦救难观音菩萨，快点保佑我好罢。哎哟，姆妈，我难过煞哟。 “杨杏园禁不住便坐在床沿上，伸手去替她理一理额角上的乱发，说道：”你耐烦一点罢，慢慢的就好了。 “说时，指着镜台上的两盆梅花道：”我替你买来的，好不好？ “梨云勉强笑了一笑。杨杏园便折了一小校，上面有两三朵花，两三朵花蕾，递给梨云。梨云在被里伸出瘦手来，接过去，凑在鼻子上闻了一闻，放在枕头边，闭着眼睛，昏昏沉沉的又睡了。停了一会，杨杏园看见她真睡着了，便穿起大衣要走。阿毛正要说话，杨杏园指指床上，又摇摇头。杨杏园走出来，阿毛送到外边屋子里，才说道：”老七这病，有六七分沉重，我看要快点想法子才好。我的意思是送到医院里去为妙。她的姆妈醒来的时候，你可以告诉她，若是大家都愿意，这笔款子，归我负责。 “阿毛笑着一一的答应了。 这日杨杏园回来之后，偏偏事情接二连三的来，忙得不能分身。晚上在报馆里正编稿子，阿毛忽然打了电话来，说是七小姐的病，现在不好得很，请你快来看一看！杨杏园听见这话，把电话机挂了。回头一看长桌子上，稿子又是一大堆，坐下去一句话也不说，一阵风似的，就把稿子编好发下去了，便匆匆忙忙地到樱桃斜街来。到了门口，他下车就敲门，这时已经快一点钟了，门关得铁紧，半天也敲不开。 好久，好久，只听见门里，一阵拖着鞋子的声音，接上就有人说道：“谁呀？老二吗？半夜三更，又不知道在甚么地方灌了黄汤回来，这样惊天动地的乱打门。”杨杏园一听是个山东汉子口音，心里一想说：“错了吧？”这时，那人已经把门开了，隔着门里面，星光底下，露出一个大院子，心里不觉说一声糟了。但是事到如今，退也退不了，只得说道：“劳驾！你们这里有一家姓吴的江苏人吗？”那人气愤愤地道：“俺这里都是山东人，谁也不姓吴！这半夜把人家在炕上轰起来，是……” 杨杏园道：“那末劳驾得很，晚上看不清门牌，我问错了。”那人一声不言语，砰的一声，把门关上。杨杏园碰了一个大钉子，自己未免也好笑起来。倒是他的车夫认得，说再过去三家才是呢。两个人在暗地里走到那门口，杨杏园又仔细看了一看大门，觉得对了，这才敲门。一会儿门里有人问道：“啥人？”杨杏园听出是阿毛的声音，便答应道：“是我。”阿毛一边开门，一边说道：“杨老爷，这是怎样好呢？七小姐恐怕是不中用了。”杨杏园大为一惊，急向里走，要知梨云如何，下回分解。
