The boss was unhappy and said, "What illegal trade only trades in two sets of monk's clothes? ”

That's right, I wondered, "So what did you give him?"

The boss said impatiently: "Oh, it's some Buddhist bracelets or something, sent from Yiwu, I helped him process it, it became a special ornament of the Kumari Temple, every year I will bring some to this monk, the monk's family is more difficult, my mother set up a stall near the temple square to sell, sell the jewelry to foreign tourists to earn a meager income, this time as a reward I asked for a set of monk clothes, because you and I asked him for an extra set, people are not happy, I spent a lot of lips and tongues." ”

I muttered, "There are a lot of Chinese tourists who come to Nepal to visit, and you wholesale them from China and sell them to Chinese tourists.

The boss said: "Look at your vision, what's so strange about this, everyone does this, how is this a pit person, other monks are also people, they always have to support their families, the economic situation here is grim, the whole country is poor, not to mention monks, even the princes and grandchildren are not as good as the middle class in China, what are you doing so much, do you want to see the goddess Kumari, don't you see pulling down and returning the clothes to me." ”

I didn't say anything, the monk's clothes here are relatively wide, and I can cover my head, which is very convenient to hide my identity.

I changed into my monk's robe, tucked the gift into the wide monk's robe, and walked around with the boss to the back of the square, where there was a lift to the temple, guarded by two monks.

I couldn't help but ask: "Boss, why do you work so hard to take a photo of an advertisement, and now that the retouching technology is so advanced, don't you know how to use computer synthesis? Honestly, what is your purpose?"

The boss said helplessly: "I said brother, please don't ask so much, I don't ask much when you see what your purpose is, our ultimate goal is to meet the goddess Kumari, that's enough." ”

The boss said this, undoubtedly admitting that he had another purpose, and since he said so, I was embarrassed to ask more, but asked him what his name was.

The boss said: "Zhang Xingchao, Yiwu people, what about you?"

I replied, "Luo Hui, a native of Wenzhou. ”

Zhang Xingchao was pleasantly surprised: "Yo, not only compatriots but also fellow villagers in Zhejiang, fate." ”

I smiled and didn't take a stubble, we approached the elevator with our heads down, Zhang Xingchao saluted to the guarding monks and said something, and the two monks quickly let us into the elevator.

We touched the temple of Kumari, I did not have time to admire the magnificence of the temple, and towards the terrace in front of me, I saw the goddess Kumari up close, and I saw her sitting in a wheelchair-like portable shrine, dressed in gorgeous religious clothes, her feet painted red, wearing special jewelry around her neck, religious patterns painted with red and yellow paint on her forehead, and heavy eyeliner around her eyes, which at first glance looked like the smoky makeup of a star performance.

The goddess Tina of Kumari is still childish, she is a teenage girl at all, and I was surprised that she was worshipped as a god, but this is a traditional habit of others, and I can't denigrate it.

Zhang Xingchao and I had to hide in the corner and wait patiently, after more than two hours of long waiting, the ceremony was finally over, and ten lucky believers were also selected, waiting for them will be tomorrow's more solemn blessing ceremony.

Goddess Kumari was lifted up by the monks, and the worshippers who knelt down in the square let out cheers to see off Goddess Kumari.

We blended in with the monks, surrounded by the goddess Kumari and sent into a side room, and when all the monks dispersed, Zhang Xingchao and I sneaked into the side room.

The goddess Kumari sat at a large table and read a book, there were many books on the table, most of them in English, but I saw a few Chinese books in these English books, such as "History of Chinese Buddhism", "Diamond Sutra" and other classics related to Buddhism, and the most surprising thing to me was that there was a "Journey to the West".

Goddess Kumari sensed that someone had come in, and turned her head, and when she saw us, she was stunned, Zhang Xingchao quickly knelt down, and dragged me to kneel down together, I had to reluctantly kneel.

Goddess Kumari came back to her senses and asked in Nepali, Zhang Xingchao lifted his monk's robe and revealed his face, and Goddess Kumari immediately rejoiced: "Uncle Zhang, is it?!

I was stunned for a moment, how did the goddess Kumari speak Chinese.

"Tina, Uncle has come to see you. Zhang Xingchao got up and said.

The goddess Kumari was so excited that her feet almost landed, and Zhang Xingchao immediately reminded: "Don't land on your feet, so as not to violate the taboo." ”

The goddess Kumari remembered something at this time, so she had to turn around and sit upright and ask, "Uncle Zhang, is my mother Devi okay?"

Zhang Xingchao sighed: "The situation is not optimistic, it may be dying, but she really wants to see you, so I took the risk and slipped in ......." ”

The two of them chatted as if no one was around, completely treating me as air, and I couldn't say in a hurry: "I said Boss Zhang, what the hell is going on." ”

Only then did the goddess Kumari notice me: "This gentleman is ....... ”

Zhang Xingchao said: "This is my Chinese friend, he has something to look for you, so I brought him here, his affairs will be talked about later, your David's mother has little time, first fulfill her wish." ”

Zhang Xingchao took out his mobile phone as he spoke, initiated a video call with chat software, and then handed it to the goddess Kumari, who was very excited, tears rolled in her eyes, and soon the face of a Nepalese woman appeared in the video screen, looking like she was in a hospital in the background, this Nepalese woman's face was very haggard, and she was inhaling oxygen with an oxygen tube on her nose.

"Mother Devy....... Goddess Kumari choked up and spoke Nepali.

Zhang Xingchao motioned for me to step aside with him and not disturb their chat.

After retreating into the corner, I said, "Boss Zhang, can you tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Xingchao then talked about what's going on, this woman named Devi is the mother of Goddess Kumari, he rented Devy's house when he first came to Nepal more than ten years ago, and took good care of him, a Chinese, so Zhang Xingchao is very grateful.

Devi's husband later fell ill and died, Tina was only three years old at that time, but she didn't expect Tina to stand out soon to become the goddess Kumari, Devi was happy and sad, happy that her daughter was given a sacred mission by God, sad that her daughter was her only relative, and she was reluctant to let her daughter leave her side.

After Tina entered the temple to live, Devi was like losing her soul, and over time, she fell ill and collapsed.
