Chapter 12: Worshipping the Buddha
The place where Lu Yalan met Aunt Mu could already see the mountain gate, and several people talked and laughed and felt that they had reached the top of the mountain after walking for a long time - the fat lady introduced her husband's surname Mu, Lu Yalan called her Mrs. Mu, the fat lady did not allow it, and insisted that Lu Yalan call Aunt Mu, Lu Yalan also felt that this elder was kind and kind and got along very happily, so she changed her words.
"What's wrong with you, old lady, don't scare the slave!"
Lu Yalan had just finished the last step and had not yet stood in the open space, when a group of big men rushed over, Hongxing was startled and hurriedly blocked in front of Lu Yalan, but unexpectedly, this group of people squeezed Lu Yalan and Jia Ding away from Lu Yalan and Jia Ding, and circled around Mrs. Mu.
Lu Yalan tugged at Hongxing's sleeve to signal that Hongxing didn't have to block it, and asked the family to take a few steps back, "It should be a descendant of Aunt Mu's family." ”
Hongxing patted her chest: "I'm scared to death, this fierce and vicious momentum, I thought I had come to rob the road." ”
Lu Yalan made a gesture to hit her: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Mrs. Mu was carried on her back and looked farther than others, and when she saw a group of big men rushing over, she secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly signaled them not to scare others, who knew that these big-headed soldiers sent by her son did not know how to read people's faces at all, and only rushed up one by one, and the maid who ran behind understood it, but she couldn't hold so many reckless people. Mrs. Mu watched as this group of boys squeezed the girls into the corner a few times, and helplessly supported their foreheads.
Surrounded by so many big men, the family with Mrs. Mu on his back trembled with his legs, he didn't notice that this group of people had just called the old lady, but as soon as he lowered his head, he was surrounded by so many fierce and vicious people, and the family felt that his life was not long.
Seeing that the man's legs trembled and seemed to be about to throw the old lady to the ground at any time, the leading man said in a rough voice: "What are you doing, stand up quickly!" while signaling the brothers to take the old lady carefully. It was only at this time that the maid who ran last struggled to break through the crowd and came to Mrs. Mu breathlessly.
Mrs. Mu was placed on a bench for pilgrims to rest, and when she saw that the pilgrims around her were eager to stay away from them, and many people stood in the distance to watch the excitement, knowing that this was not the place to speak, she simply confessed: "Xiao Li, don't be a murderer, I was carried all the way by him when I went up the mountain, and I want to thank them." ”
The leading man grabbed his hair embarrassedly when he heard this, and apologized to the family member who carried Mrs. Mu, who dared to take it, and waved his hand again and again.
He followed the Lu family caravan to the north and south, and he saw a lot, but others could not see it, but he could see it, although this group of people was dressed as a short and a family, but their backs were straight, their eyes were shining, and there were thick calluses on the joints of their hands, this was not the hand that did rough work, this was the hand with a gun! If he hadn't seen that this group of people might have a human life on their hands, he would not have been frightened like this. He just regretted taking over the work of the second lady of the guard, and at this time, he was relieved to see that the leader was so easy to speak, and stepped forward to put on almost.
Mrs. Mu didn't care about a few over there, she beckoned Lu Yalan, who was waiting on the side, to come over: "I have a permanent guest house in the temple, and the first one in the southernmost part is, when you settle down, send someone to come and tell me, wait for a few days when my feet are good and take you around, there are many places worth going to in Qianyun Temple." Seeing Lu Yalan nodding, she continued: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's settle each other first." You have helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you, you accept this thank you first, and I will let my son come to the door to thank you. ”
Mrs. Mu took Lu Yalan's hand and put the emerald green bracelet on her wrist on Lu Yalan's arm, Lu Yalan hurriedly excused herself, helping Mrs. Mu was already handy, even if there was no her, I believe that the next person could rush over quickly, where is it worth such a generous gift.
Mrs. Mu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I have only one son in my family, who is as hard as a stone, and there is no one who can say intimate words. ”
Lu Yalan saw that Mrs. Mu's face was lonely, and her heart was a little loose, and she felt that this bracelet was too valuable, and she had only seen this kind of jewelry with this kind of workmanship and this kind of bottom material.
"You are knowledgeable, and the time to chat with you will pass in the blink of an eye, and as long as you don't dislike me for bothering you, I will go to you every day to bother you. It's just that this bracelet is too valuable for me to accept. ”
Seeing that Lu Yalan began to hesitate, Mrs. Mu immediately stepped up: "The elder can't give it away, how can the elder's gift to the junior be light?" Her white and chubby face was full of smiles: "Take it, the little girl looks good wearing this!"
Indeed, Lu Yalan's skin is fair, and she is the most beautiful among the sisters of the Lu family, and at this time, under the background of the emerald bracelet, her skin is as white as snow and delicate, so the dazzling bracelet has become a foil here in Lu Yalan.
Lu Yalan was a little shy, she had never received such a valuable and heartfelt gift: "Thank you, Aunt Mu, I will take good care of it." Take good care of your injuries, and I'll see you in a few days. ”
Seeing that the little girl's ears were getting redder and redder, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but smile and squint, she waved her big hand: "Although the life in the temple is a bit monotonous, there are a lot of interesting things, you get used to it for a few days, and when Aunt Mu's feet are better, I will take you to have a good walk!"
In addition to the red apricot, Lu Yalan felt such straightforward kindness for the first time, and couldn't help laughing.
After all, it is not a place to chat, and the two of them will settle down after a few words.
Lu Fu is also a regular guest of Qianyun Temple, and the family is familiar with finding the monk in charge and expressing his desire to stay for a few days, and Lu Yalan's guest house is quickly arranged.
Lu Yalan asked Hongxing to pack her luggage first, and she walked straight into the Daxiong Treasure Hall and knelt down and kowtowed reverently.
Pilgrims generally come to pray and make wishes, Lu Yalan worshiped the Buddha for a while, and heard a little daughter-in-law say, "Bless the Buddha and let the believer conceive a big fat boy, and the believer is willing to offer incense to the Buddha every day", and there are also old people who come to make a vow, "The Buddha has appeared, my son's illness is finally cured, I specially came to repay the vow, and I wish to live for ten years."
Lu Yalan eagerly wanted to worship the Buddha, but when she really knelt there, the people around her came and went, but she was a little dazed. She didn't know what to ask for.
Her husband, who was waiting for her, hated her, and she was not confident that she would meet someone better in the future. Her mother died young, her father had another family, and the old lady turned a blind eye to petty fights with a bowl of water, and she once begged her father to look at her more, but then she no longer asked for extravagance.
Lu Yalan thought about it, opened her eyes and looked at the Buddha in the incense, it looked down on the world with a smile, its expression was compassionate and peaceful, just looking at it quietly made people feel the urge to cry. Buddha, why did you give me this precious memory, and what do you want me to do?
Lu Yalan closed her eyes, and Zhao Dingsheng looked at her with disdain on her face and said in her mind, "People like you, the second aunt was too unbelievable when she was caught by her, and the old lady told her that the punishment was meaningful, and finally froze in the blurred figure of the girl.
I want to be like my little sister, and I want to be in charge of my life instead of being at the mercy of others.
The sunset is hidden in the mountains, the pilgrims gradually disperse, the incense ash in the incense burner is burned one after another, gradually the incense ash is more, the incense candle is less, a gust of wind passes, the Daxiong Treasure Hall is finally no longer hidden in the smoke, the solemn Buddha statue of the treasure is red by the sunset, and there is more breath of the world. After the monk finished cleaning, he waited outside the door without saying a word.
Lu Yalan opened her eyes, took the big salute seriously, and stumbled when she got up because she had been kneeling for too long.
"Amitabha! It seems that the donor has had an epiphany. ”
Lu Yalan found that the sun had set, and the wind blowing in the mountains into the hall made people feel refreshed, she pulled her skirt embarrassedly and saluted the monk: "Yes." Master is really sorry to delay your cultivation time. ”
The monk returned the salute: "The donor does not have to blame himself, this is also a practice." ”
Hongxing has been waiting outside the door, and when she saw this, she put on a cloak for the young lady. Lu Yalan thanked the monk again, and then left briskly.
The chubby little monk shook his short legs and ran over holding two vegetarian buns: "Host, eat quickly, it's still hot!" touched the little monk's bare head, took the buns and led the little monk away.
The Buddha still smiles at the world.
When she woke up, Lu Yalan couldn't help rubbing the quilt, and in the past few days, she walked around with Hongxing after copying the Buddhist scriptures, saw the famous Yunhai pine in Qianyun Temple, and tasted delicious vegetarian food, and occasionally went to Mrs. Mu to chat, although the guest house was not as good as home, she was also comfortable and relaxed, and just wanted to stay for a long time.
"Miss, come on, there are vegetarian tofu buns, tea-flavored vegetarian chicken, and spicy vegetarian beef to eat today!" Hongxing pushed open the door and solemnly placed the food box in her hand on the table.
Lu Yalan couldn't help but open the window and stretched out her head to look at the sky, and didn't sleep until noon.
Seeing this, Hongxing explained: "Didn't Mrs. Mu say yesterday that the water of the wishing pond in the mountain behind Qianyun Temple does not melt all year round, and it is always clear to the bottom, if you make a wish there and then take a handful of wishing water to drink the wish is easier to realize, we have to go and see what we say, I think that today is a good weather for travel, and now I can't have lunch when I set off, so I will make a few specialty dishes with the fire head master, and we will eat dim sum at noon, and come back in the evening to eat good." ”
Lu Yalan couldn't help laughing, Master Huotou is the master of Qianyun Temple, because the food is extremely good, everyone calls him Master Huotou, but the original name is rarely mentioned. Since eating the vegetables of Qianyun Temple, Hongxing has often drilled into people's kitchens, pestering others to make specialty dishes, and can't wait to eat five meals a day.
"You've arranged it, okay, let's go after eating. Don't be embarrassed to be the fire master of others, he still has to practice, and you can't let people do whatever you eat. ”
Hongxing came up mysteriously: "That monk is a monk of wine and meat, how do you think his dishes can make meat flavor? It's that he eats too much meat and wants to change the taste." I found out that he was secretly drinking, so I promised to make something delicious to cover my mouth. ”
Lu Yalan was silent for a moment and put down her chopsticks, and Hong Xing was a little at a loss when she saw that Miss's face was wrong.
"Your willingness to have a deep friendship with the firehead master shows that his character is very good, in this case, you should not use his secret to blackmail, this is not good. ”
Hongxing was a little aggrieved: "Miss, I didn't blackmail him, I saw that he was very happy, and he was not unhappy." ”
Lu Yalan breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Seeing that Hongxing shook her head, she continued: "When you return the food box later, ask the firehead master clearly, if you take special care of us every day because you don't want you to say it, then we can't do this." Plus, you take some extra money and go over to add incense. ”
Hongxing knew that there was something wrong and nodded silently, with some reluctance in her eyes.
Lu Yalan sighed: "If you make it clear that Master Huotou is still willing to do it, of course there is no problem." Let's just add more money for sesame oil. ”
"Hmm!"
