Chapter Seventy-Three: The False Monk's Deception
I saw a monk who said kindly: "Donor, the temple is being renovated, and only by donating incense can you engrave your name on the merit tablet." ”
Erya asked curiously, "What does it mean to donate incense?"
The monk took out a booklet and opened it for Erya to read, pointed and said, "Donor, please see, these are all incense donated by people who do good, and there are a lot of them in Zhangjia Village!"
Ling Luo also leaned in to take a look, the booklet was densely filled with names, followed by the number of donations. Fifty, hundred, five hundred and even a thousand.
Erya is also looking, the names on it are indeed from Zhangjia Village, and there is a lot of money in the back.
Didn't you say that you don't want money? Why do you still donate money, Erya muttered in her heart.
"Donor, this is a good deed of immeasurable merit. We don't need money, just what we need to repair the temple, and we hope that the donor will generously fund it!" said the monk quickly.
"Master, since it's a donation of incense, it doesn't matter how much money you have, right?" Ling Luo said on the side.
The monk looked embarrassed, listening to this tone is not right, no one has asked this for so long.
"Donor, it doesn't matter how much money you have, it just represents your heart. The more sincerity you have, the more money you have, and the greater your merit. ”
Ling Luo took out a piece of money from his pocket and said, "There are two masters! I didn't bring so much money with me in a hurry today, and I don't pay tribute at all, I hope the master will accept it!"
The one that I said was sincere and touching.
Chen Linlin looked at Ling Luo in shock, thinking that this was too stinging, so she took out a dollar and said it so heartfelt.
Wu Tian wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and it was time to come out with internal injuries. Brother, this trick is really wonderful!
A monk hurriedly answered: "Thank you to the donor, the little monk is grateful." What a disturbance!" said he took the money and was about to leave.
"Master stays!"
Ling Luo said: "Master Trouble, make a note on the booklet, and our names should also be engraved on the merit tablet. ”
When the two monks heard this, they almost didn't vomit blood, and when they saw two cars parked outside, they came in, thinking that they must be a big family. I didn't expect to give only one dollar, and even the cost of the Guanyin statue was not enough.
Now that the performance has reached this point, it is necessary to continue the performance, and a monk said, "Whose name does the donor want to engrave?"
"Engrave Zhang Dagui's name!" Ling Luo said.
The monk immediately wrote down his name and reluctantly wrote a word on the back. Walking out of the yard, I added two zeros to the back. This number can't be seen by others, otherwise they will have to pay to death if they donate like this.
Back in the house, Erya asked, "Big brother, it's not appropriate to do this, right?"
Ling Luo waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind, the master has said that it doesn't matter if you have more money or less, just do your best." ”
Rural people pay attention to visiting the door, and there is nothing to do after the farm work is done at home, so find a good person to sit on the hot kang and talk about gossip.
The noble family belongs to a rich and noble family, and the two of them are popular in the village, and there are always a lot of people.
A few rural women walked into the courtyard while talking: "Is Xiaojun's mother at home?"
Xiaojun is the son of a nobleman, and in the countryside women are called like this, with a husband or son. used to call Erya a member of the noble family, but after having a son, he called Xiaojun's mother.
Erya shouted, "At home, at home." With a smile, he greeted him and led a few people into the door.
"Oh, where did this come from?" a fat woman asked with a smile when she saw Ling Luo.
"Your noble friend, from the coast!" Erya said proudly.
"Oh, this girl looks really smart!" the fat woman said when she saw Chen Linlin at a glance.
"People are from the city, so they are naturally good-looking!" Erya said.
Ling Luo and the others retreated to the side, leaving a few people to play the idle article. They were all discussing the matter of the two monks.
Saying this, Ling Luo was secretly surprised in his heart. All of these families donated money, and the least of them donated fifty. And according to them, as long as the monks enter the house, almost none come out empty-handed. More or less donated some.
After thinking about it carefully, Ling Luo nodded again and again. This trick is high.
In his opinion, these two monks must be liars. How can any monk use this method to turn his fortune into a relationship? It is nothing more than flaunting the banner of a monk to swagger and deceive, taking advantage of the awe of the common people.
There are gods in the head, and the rural people basically believe in this. When in doubt, throw it out. I don't feel deceived, I spent some money and didn't be wronged, and I even knew that it was nothing if I couldn't engrave a merit monument, at least I got a statue of Guanyin, didn't I?
The rural people are loud, and Zhang Dagui was finally woken up. After waking up, he said sorry to Ling Luo a few times, and then he realized what had happened.
"Didn't I tell you? We don't believe in gods. Fortunately, there are brothers here, otherwise you might not have given much to others. Zhang Dagui said in a loud voice.
Erya has always given face to her grandfather when there are many people, and she did not refute and argue, she directly lowered her head and did not speak.
"My sister-in-law is also kind-hearted, and she didn't lose anything and made a statue of Guanyin. Don't talk about sister-in-law!" Ling Luo explained.
Dagui originally wanted to say a few more words to show the domineering of men, but he didn't speak when he heard Ling Luo say this.
"Big brother, let's go back first. Tomorrow you arrange for us to come back. Ling Luo said.
"If you want me to say that you can live at home, why do you spend that unjust money in a hotel?" Dagui said.
"Brother Gui, it's inconvenient for us to have a lot of people, and there is Linlin here. The next time I have the chance, I will definitely stay at home. ”
Dagui was helpless and said, "Okay, there is indeed some chaos at home. When we move to a new house, we will definitely pack up, and when the time comes, we will definitely have to stay. ”
"Cheng Cheng Chengcheng, I will definitely listen to my brother when the time comes. Ling Luo said with a smile and began to pack his things.
Dagui and Erya sent the three of them to the gate, and Chen Linlin drove Ling Luo and waved goodbye. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw the two monks getting into a Jetta car. It turned out that these two dervishes were not bitter at all, and their mounts were all four-wheeled.
Ling Luo sat in the co-pilot and said, "Drive slowly behind and follow them!"
"Brother Luo, what do you want to do?" Chen Linlin said, turning her head. She always drives like this, and when she talks to others, she used to turn her head and not look at the road. Ling Luo didn't know how many times he had told her.
"Look at the road!" Ling Luo instructed.
Chen Linlin snorted, looked ahead and drove steadily.
"What can you do, expose the two fake monks!" Ling Luo said with a smile.
"Are you saying those two monks are fake?" asked Chen Linlin in surprise.
"You just knew?" Ling Luo and Wu Tian said with a laugh in unison.
Chen Linlin frowned, thinking to herself, could it be that they had already seen it? It seems that her experience is still too shallow!
A speeding car followed the Jetta in front of it far away and slowly drove into the county!
