143. What is the favorite?
Aban is Ayi's elder brother, and they are their own brothers and sisters who were sent to the temple to practice, but the treatment is very different.
Unlike most of the local people, their faces look much fairer and rounder, and even Aban looks quiet and kind, typical of Chinese descendants.
In the state of Zhu, men must have been monks in order to serve in the military. Marriage and other major events of adulthood have been recognized by society, so almost all men will come to practice as monks before the age of 20, but the length of time is just a short, most of them are before the age of 20 and then practice Buddhism for a few months to a few years, only a very small number of people will continue to practice as a dervish monk for a lifetime, and some are like Aban, who have come to repay their relatives since they were young, and come to repay their vows to the Buddha for their parents, in fact, most of them will return to school after a few years.
This kind of Theravada Buddhism belongs to Theravada Buddhism, because there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the country, so there are also from China called Han Mahayana Buddhism, then it is called Huazong, but with some religions slightly different sects to fight to the death is different, the various sects of Buddhism basically coexist, and even in a big temple there are several sects of monks on the list is also commonplace.
Because Master Tianlong is also said to be of Chinese descent, the proportion of Chinese descendants like Aban being sent here to practice is also very high, after all, he can also study Chinese by the way.
However, to Bai Haonan's surprise, the Aban brothers and sisters are not poor children from poor families, and their family conditions are good, but because they made a wish before they were born, they must send their children to practice, and because the girl's status in the temple is too low, Aban accompanied his sister in advance.
Surrounded by the monks who love to play football, they laughed together, and after knowing that Bai Haonan was the new monk who promoted the success of the German box inside and outside the temple during the day, he became even more enthusiastic and cheerful, and Aban completely became his translator at Bai Haonan's invitation, explaining that Bai Haonan was a foreign monk from Yuenan, and the passport also indicated that Wang Jianguo was a Yuenan Chinese, and it became a natural thing to not understand the language, just call him Lao Wang.
Originally, Bai Haonan generously asked the little nun Lori to take Ada back to play, but Aban explained very sensibly that this was not allowed, and the nuns in the temple were basically the same status as the orderlies, so don't mess with the master and elders, and quickly send my sister back to rest.
It turns out that since the death of the last nun hundreds of years ago, there are no official nuns and nuns in the whole country, and there are only temporary workers who practice in the temple as lay people.
In this Buddhist country that seems to be compassionate and peaceful, there is a big difference between men and women, this is the first time Bai Haonan has felt it, and of course, he will have a more shocking understanding of this issue later.
It's rare to find a translator who can communicate in Chinese, Bai Haonan is a bit like a treasure, Aban obviously admires Long Bi, who also has amazing ball skills, this word is also what he taught Bai Haonan, such a transcendent host of Tianlong Master is called Long Po, a master like Ida, a mentor, The big supervisor is called Azan, and Long Bi is almost the meaning of senior brother, so the two who hit it off immediately became senior brothers, Bai Haonan was also very modest to ask Aban to be a senior brother, because according to the rules of the football team, it is not according to age, first to brother, Aban has been a novice for more than a year.
So after applying with Ada, Aban moved in with Bai Haonan, which finally solved Bai Haonan's language problem.
But the next morning after breakfast, Aban had to go to chant and class, and Ayi, who had been busy washing a bunch of dishes, took over as a translator for Bai Haonan on behalf of his brother, but apparently the bald little Lori was more interested in the smirking cocker spaniel, so Tianlong Temple had such a scene, the tall and sturdy young monk wandered around in front, and a loli nun in a pink monk's robe was followed by a meter or two behind, and she was still a little swaying when she walked, and from time to time she reached out and touched the dark brown fat dog next to her.
A monk in the temple once questioned what this little nun was doing alone outside during the day, and Ayidu stammered and explained that he was a football monk who could only speak Chinese as a translator for foreign monks.
That's right, when the fate was turned into a relationship in the morning, there was already a queue of hundreds of people who were in line with Bai Haonan was the pending monk who played well with ball last night, so the monks of Zhuguo, who obviously liked football very much, immediately gave him the nickname of a football monk.
It can be seen that Master Tianlong's arrangement for Bai Haonan has also been passed down to Ada, and everywhere I saw him smiling and clasping his hands, he really needed a translator, compared to the seven or eight adult monks who could speak Chinese, they all had to be Ada's very busy Azan, and it was indeed appropriate to let the two children be his translators, even if Ayi's translation was more like words jumping out, but at least there was a transfer station.
So by noon, almost the whole temple already knew the football monk and his dog.
Aban came to help Bai Haonan as a microphone, so that he could chat with the young monks more directly, of course, the biggest disadvantage of this is that once again Bai Haonan's chicken thief's laziness does not need to learn the language.
However, as the third long-term place where Bai Haonan fled, he already had a lot of survival experience.
Rather than being a duck, Engaging in pyramid schemes, these unreliable things, if the main direction of attack is placed on football-related aspects, it is the easiest way to make yourself take root, Bai Haonan, who was originally going to live in the temple, talked to Master Tianlong, and was still a little touched, plus after witnessing the love of the people of Zhuguo for football last night, he decided to take this as his stepping stone again, and it is obvious that the first time he led the experience of the staff team in Rongdu, and the second time he engaged in the process of a professional football fitness center, Bai Haonan has gained and accumulated useful work experience unconsciously。
So after chatting with a number of young monks with the assistance of a translator at lunch, and asking Ida for instructions in the afternoon, Bai Haonan finally walked out of the temple with a relaxed mood and asked Aban to carry out the inspection work together.
Master Ida also seemed to have received an evaluation of Bai Haonan's arrangement from the big boss, and reiterated the precepts of not approaching women and the like with a stern expression, before returning Bai Haonan's mobile phone and banknote wallet to him, and also attached a car key, a somewhat worn silver hatchback Civic, Bai Haonan judged that the life of this car was longer than his professional age!
Although most of the monks go out barefoot, but this time Bai Haonan proposed not to walk a short distance in the city, he decided to go to the various villages and tourist attractions around the city to see, the preliminary estimate of the journey is tens of hundreds of kilometers, if you really want to walk, that is a month or two of investigation time.
When the little novice got into the car, he was obviously a little excited, even if he was chanting the Buddha every day and wanted to dedicate himself to the Buddha, but the child was a child after all, and he could not control the excitement of being able to come out of the splendid temple.
Bai Haonan is much more familiar with driving, although the steering wheel here is generally on the right, but it is not an obstacle at all for an old driver like him, a large and a small monk drove through the temple gate when they attracted a piece of tourists to take pictures, fortunately the car is broken enough, otherwise it must be "shocked! Monk drives a luxury car" and other eye-catching titles in China.
Driving on the road, Bai Haonan threw his mobile phone over to Aban: "Do you want to call home?"
I didn't expect Aban to have principles: "Since I'm here to practice, I can't just call home......
Bai Haonan expressed his admiration for the little brother, and then began to discuss today's itinerary, as much as possible to watch schools and public football fields in the largest city in the north of the country, and fully understand the level of competition in these stadiums, because from the young monks, Bai Haonan heard a fact that surprised him extremely much, this kind of football that has never been put in his eyes by him, others actually have nearly 300,000 registered players!
How many registered players are there in a billion Chinese?
Former professional footballers are well aware of this number, but more than 600,000!
This is a country with only 20 times the population of China!
In the club where Guixi Morning Glory stayed, Bai Haonan has already experienced the difficult living environment outside the so-called third-level professional league, even if the more than 20 teams in the third-level second division league live like his grandson, and there are more than 70 teams in the third-level league here, even if China has more wins and fewer losses in the face of the state of Zhu at all levels, but why can others do this so well, why is it so messy in the country that everyone shakes their heads.
Just hearing this, Bai Haonan couldn't help but want to see his old profession, originally he just wanted to form a team in the temple to cater to the idea of the Tianlong mage to make a new meaning, but now it is obviously worth him to go around to investigate, this is the step word he learned when he was preparing for the construction of the Canon Fitness Center.
Of course, this is Bai Haonan's inspection plan for himself, the hatchback car started to walk around from the school near Tianlong Temple, only to find that seven or eight years old Aban has not yet established a rich sense of direction, Bai Haonan had to buy a local phone card and ask the owner of the convenience store to help install the mobile phone with local navigation software, and then buy a map to cooperate before re-planning the trip, Aban also has to adapt to the ability to read maps, Bai Haonan can read the map but does not recognize words, so the two have to rack their brains on the roadside outside the convenience store to speculate and communicate.
This kind of very common behavior, after wearing the yellow monk's robe, it feels very different, from a large and a small monk standing on the side of the road to buy things, there are constantly tourists around to take pictures, and there are obviously female tourists who do not understand the customs and habits to try to pull Bai Haonan or hold Aban to take a photo, at this time even Bai Haonan is a little embarrassed for these compatriots who speak Chinese, and repeatedly emphasized that women in the country can not touch monks, in addition to a group of tourists curious about this monk Mandarin is good, that is, an aunt wants to debate with him why there are such unreasonable customs, whether it is discriminating against women。
Bai Haonan wanted to roll his eyes, and quickly pulled Aban back to the car to retreat.
Who would discuss with you why you do this, and why do you look so ugly and wear such heavy makeup?
Bai Haonan couldn't help but feel scared back, and drove away, Aban admired China very much, saying that his wish in the future was to study in China, which was also the expectation given to him by his parents and even his grandparents, so Bai Haonan also had to explain to him: "These Chinese tourists do not fully represent Chinese......" But he still felt that his explanation was a little speechless, fortunately the destination was coming soon, and when he turned the street, he saw that Aban had studied in school for two years, and after pulling over, the monk walked to the school gate to explain, of course, Ada was used to being left in the car, as long as he didn't throw it on the street, this guy wouldn't panic.
Although it was a little incomprehensible for the monk to ask to see the football field, the monk's status among the people of the state made the gatekeeper immediately open the door enthusiastically and let him go, and he quickly took off his shoes with his hands folded and knelt on the side of the road in the hope of getting a blessing, which made Bai Haonan, who couldn't say a word, slightly embarrassed, but fortunately, Aban reached out to solve the problem in a similar way.
When the two monks went to the football field, Aban whispered that this was also the first time he had prayed for blessings.
As a result, just such a primary school made Bai Haonan involuntarily sit on the wooden shelf on the sidelines and watch for a whole afternoon!
It seems that in this kind of upheaval and fugitive life, even if Bai Haonan keeps distracting himself with all kinds of jokes and stimuli, his heart is still a little busy, and he doesn't feel a kind of peace from the heart until he sees the football field.
How high can elementary school students play football?
Bai Haonan has never watched playing football in primary schools in China, at least he spent most of his time in sports schools when he was in primary school, and I heard that teachers and parents in major schools are very opposed to children playing football when they have nothing to do, and they have to focus on learning.
But the playground is obviously full of children playing football happily, even because it has just begun to enter the rainy season in the country, and there is a torrential rain of more than ten minutes in the middle, no one has left this time.
It was a kind of happiness that could be seen at a glance, the joy of running in the sun and in the wind and rain, the cooperation of the whole court with loud shouts, the excitement of dribbling the ball, the regret of missing a shot, being kicked by an opponent, or falling down while running, rolling on the still muddy grass, all seemed to feel the real free emotional catharsis.
Bai Haonan looked a little stupid, and there was no reaction to the raindrops hitting his body, and he didn't notice that the water droplets disappeared, but it was Aban who jumped up and spoke softly to the side, which aroused Bai Haonan to turn his head, oh, a long-haired young girl wearing a small suit skirt was holding an umbrella, because the space to cover the rain was given to the two monks, the gray suit and skirt on the girl's body were a little wet, especially the undershirt exposed on the chest was stained with water, and it was a little transparent。
As a result, Aban warmly introduced: "Teacher Song Na Chinese......Chinese! Well, it's a Chinese from Yue Nan!"
In terms of Bai Haonan's experience in foreign women in less than two days, I don't know if it's because the light here is relatively strong, and the makeup of the girls in the country is a bit heavy, and the female teacher in front of her is no exception, with obvious blush on both cheeks, foundation on the wings of the nose, heavy eyeshadow eyelashes, and the most obvious is the pair of thick black eyebrows and shiny pink lips.
Bai Haonan was a little slandered: ", why didn't I have such a female teacher when I was in elementary school?"
Then I realized that Aban's introduction was in Chinese!
I finally met a girl who can speak Chinese.
Though it is to be able to see it and not to touch it.
