Xie Lingya was able to walk around on his own, so Shi Changxuan went back to class, but he still stayed in Xie Lingya’s room at night because he was not yet alive and kicking.
The contract of the newsagent store expired soon, so Xie Lingya hired someone to knock down the wall and asked Fang Zhe to design a gate. By the way, he also asked him to make a bed for Liu Lingtong.
Now, the beds of the Phytolacca God and Liu Lingtong were placed on the windowsill.
Xie Lingya fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes, he realized that for some reason, he and Shi Changxuan were sleeping in such a way that he was curled up facing Shi Changxuan, while Shi Changxuan had stretched out his arms to hug him.
This position was really too ambiguous. The two of them were holding each other while sleeping face to face… such that even Xie Lingya felt it was inappropriate. He had never noticed it before, but Shi Changxuan hugged him a few nights ago. Was he used to holding pillows at home?
Xie Lingya quietly pushed Shi Changxuan’s hand away and turned around.
At this time, Shi Changxuan’s hand came up again, but not as much, and because Xie Lingya turned his back, Shi Changxuan’s hand moved forward –
Xie Lingya quickly covered his bird!
…Holy crap, luckily he was very responsive!
Shi Changxuan didn’t hesitate and put his hand on the back of Xie Lingya’s hand.
Xie Lingya kept this weird posture, wanting to cry but not having any tears. What the hell was this.
He carefully continued to push Shi Changxuan’s hand, but he woke up Shi Changxuan. Shi Changxuan opened his eyes and saw Xie Lingya almost rolling to the edge of the bed. He didn’t think much about it, and he didn’t care where his hand was. He only felt it touching Xie Lingya’s hand.
“What’s wrong?” He held Xie Lingya back with his backhand, and even supported Xie Lingya’s waist. His voice was different from the clear and cold voice during the day, and there was a hint of sleepiness and hoarseness in his low voice, “Don’t fall.”
After saying that, Shi Changxuan closed his eyes naturally and continued to sleep.
Xie Lingya: “…”
Xie Lingya slept face to face with Shi Changxuan again, and Shi Changxuan’s hand was still on his arm – it was originally on his waist, so Xie Lingya put his hand under it.
He didn’t know if it was because he had been single for too long, but Xie Lingya’s ears felt a little hot when he heard Shi Changxuan speak. Maybe it was because Shi Changxuan’s voice wasn’t too loud or something. This… beauty was indeed gender-neutral.
Xie Lingya struggled a lot and returned to the starting point. His sleepiness also came to him. He simply didn’t care so much and continued to sleep.
….
The next morning, on the weekend, Xie Lingya went to brush his teeth, and Shi Changxuan helped him.
At this point everyone got up one after another and lined up to drink water.
Shi Changxuan silently poured water and squeezed out the toothpaste for Xie Lingya. After Xie Lingya washed up, he held another cup of hot water in his hand.
Hai Guanchao couldn’t stand it anymore. Although Shi Changxuan had gone back to class recently, his service to Xie Lingya had not changed as long as he was in the Temple – even though Xie Lingya had improved a lot.
This method of care still treated Xie Lingya as a paralytic!
Everyone had been amazed these days, only thinking that Daozhang Shi was really cold-faced but hot-hearted, but when they thought about Xie Lingya shielding him, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with repaying his kindness. But as time passed, Shi Changxuan still had this attitude, which made people feel a little numb.
And look at this guy Xie Lingya, it could be said that he had gone from frugality to luxury. The first two days he was polite to Shi Changxuan, but now he was used to it, as if he had been treated like this since he was a child. It was very convenient after all!
Hai Guanchao couldn’t help but say: “Daozhang Shi, you should let the patient do some things on his own.”
It was said that the patient’s shoulder injury and physical strength had improved by more than 50%.
Xie Lingya quickly said: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t mind.”
Everyone: “…”
Hai Guanchao: “What’s the use of you not minding!!”
“Look, Brother Hai only respects heroes for three days, I suspect that you will call me a sponge again, and you will vomit after eating it.” Xie Lingya appealed to the crowd, “My injury is not healed yet, that’s it. The world’s morals are really in trouble!”
Hai Guanchao: “…”
He wanted to explain what he wanted to say, but he heard Shi Changxuan put away the thermos cup and say slowly: “I don’t mind either.”
Hai Guanchao: “…”
Forget it, let these two continue to be gay, why be angry.
….
Xie Lingya had asked Zhang Daoting to bring the two big foxes back to the Taoist Temple from the veterinary hospital. After treatment, their wounds had healed. But after all, the wounds were quite deep, and the doctor’s advice was to let them heal before sending them back to the wild.
They were not allowed to continue living in the veterinary hospital. It was Xie Lingya who heard that the two kept making trouble there. After all, they were wild animals and could not stand living in a cage. Xie Lingya thought that the little fox must also miss them, so they should be discharged from the hospital.
Xie Lingya originally wanted to contact Tang Qi and ask him to say hello to the construction site, ask the foxes to “free range” for a while, and give them some food on the construction site, so that there would be no pressure to hunt.
It was already agreed and he was just waiting to pick them up.
During this period, Xie Lingya also asked someone to take the little fox to the hospital to visit the patients. Even so, when he opened the cage, the little fox still jumped in and hugged his parents.
But the big foxes patted the little fox on the head and drove it out: No one should enter the cage on their own initiative, not even if his parents were inside. What if it was a trap?
“You can move around in the yard but stay away if anyone comes. Don’t trample the vegetable patch.” Xie Lingya warned, and then told Zhang Daoting, “We will send them away when people from the construction site come down to purchase things. They will be here for a while. Don’t worry about it.”
Zhang Daoting looked at these three foxes and was quite surprised. This was the first time he saw such spiritual wild foxes. No wonder Senior Brother Xie said they had the potential to become spirits.
Look at their interactions with each other, and the way they remained motionless when Xie Lingya ordered them, and then nodded at the end, they were very humane.
The three foxes originally followed Xie Lingya’s orders, but slowly, they heard Liu Bohe reciting sutras and ran to his door. They didn’t dare to go in, so the three of them lined up in a row and lay outside the threshold to listen.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan saw it. They looked at each other but did not stop them. It was a good thing for living beings to have the heart to follow the Tao. It seemed that Xie Lingya’s lecture on the “Eternal Peace Sutra” on the mountain last time, really made them enlightened.
Liu Bohe was concentrating and didn’t notice the foxes listening.
Instead, it was Zhang Daoting who was followed by several photographers that reluctantly walked to the backyard to water vegetables. The photographers did not go to take pictures of him watering the vegetables. Instead, they discovered a room where a Taoist priest was chanting sutras. There were three foxes lying at the door, with their buttocks sticking out in neat rows.
This picture was so interesting that the photographers raised their cameras to freeze the scene.
The slight sound of the shutter disturbed the three foxes. They noticed that someone was coming and quickly jumped into another room.
The photographers sighed with regret. Naturally, they couldn’t open someone’s door without permission. They all checked whether they had taken the picture well and asked, “Do you raise them here?”
Zhang Daoting said, “My senior brother rescued them on the mountain. They had been sent to the veterinary hospital for treatment and will soon be sent back.
“I thought they were raised by you. How amazing are these foxes?” said a photographer who came here for the first time.
Generally speaking, even if the foxes were waiting for food, they could all join in and listen to the sutra was already amazing. What’s more, this time, the fox family was really listening to the sutra…
Even they themselves could not believe it from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhang Daoting laughed twice: “It’s indeed curious.”
No one knew what animals were thinking, whether they could understand human music, dance and other arts, or even chanting sutras.
The photographers were interested in the foxes and simply stayed in the backyard, hoping to see the foxes coming out again. They also took photos of Zhang Daoting watering the vegetables.
But after a while, the construction site vehicle had arrived.
Xie Lingya came out after receiving the call, “Where are the foxes?”
The foxes came out of the room after hearing his voice, and the photographers immediately secretly took pictures.
Xie Lingya also saw them. He knew that Zhang Daoting was now going to become a well-known Internet celebrity model among photography enthusiasts in Diyang City. If they didn’t come to take photos of Zhang Daoting, how could he say that he was a Diyang person who was interested in photography.
“The car is here and they are leaving.” Xie Lingya didn’t care and bent down to hug the foxes.
But the foxes, who had agreed long ago and nodded obediently, dodged away and squatted on the threshold.
Xie Lingya’s body was still a little weak and he didn’t catch him. He was stunned for a moment, then took two steps to continue hugging the little fox.
The fox came around again and scratched the threshold.
Xie Lingya walked over and pinched the back of the fox’s neck, “What are you doing?”
The foxes didn’t dare to really run away, and make Xie Lingya angry, but when Xie Lingya took action, they also expressed their unwillingness and twisted hard, even scratching the back of the neck. It didn’t work, and the claws were still scratching on the ground, scratching and pulling, leaving messy claw marks on the thin moss on the ground.
While the little fox was being held, the other two didn’t run away, they just hugged the threshold, as if they wanted to stay.
Xie Lingya: “…”
He knew in his heart that they wanted to stay and listen to the scriptures. It was fine if they were in the mountains. But they were in a big city. He was afraid of being reported. Look at the many photographers who were taking photos excitedly next to him. It was inconvenient to say some things, so he said implicitly: “I’m taking you home, let’s go soon.”
Xie Lingya called Shi Changxuan together, picked up the three foxes, and smiled at the photographers and sent them outside.
Those photographers were particularly touched, “These animals are so humane. They like you, they like this place, and they don’t want to leave.”
What do you like? Xie Lingya lowered his head and whispered: “Don’t behave like an out-of-school child!”
The foxes looked at Xie Lingya pitifully.
Xie Lingya: “…I will invite you to come and listen to the scriptures when I hold events in the future, okay?”
Even human believers did not come to listen to the scriptures every day. When the foxes heard this, they were satisfied and licked his hand.
And that night, another photo post about Baoyang Temple quickly became a hot topic on the local forum.
