Chapter 390: Animals
Su Wen went back and rested for a day before coming out of the room.
As his Dharma cultivation deepened, his recovery time became shorter and shorter.
I used to feel a little tired when I came out after a day of rest, but now I don't feel that way at all. But it's impossible to think about it again in a week.
After Su Wen woke up, Dao Ji came to leave.
"Dao Ji Dade, you want to go down the mountain?" Su Wen was surprised.
"Now that the mountain is closed, there is nothing to do in the temple, I am just about to see what this rolling red dust has become now." Dao Ji said: "Although I have heard some things from others, and I have seen some of them on what you call TV, I have not seen it clearly with my own eyes. ”
"In that case, I'll let someone accompany you down the mountain." Su Wen said.
Dao Ji waved his hand: "No matter how big the world is, you can go there, and the abbot doesn't have to worry." If it's all right, I'll go. ”
"Then I'll give Senior Brother Daoji some money, and if it's useful on the road, you can also be around, and if you see someone in need, you can also help one or two." Su Wen was afraid that Daoji would refuse, and said something that could be used to help people, but he didn't expect Daoji to still shake his head.
"This can help people, but it can't help people's hearts." Dao Ji shook his head and said, "I'll go down the mountain." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to Su Wen and strode away.
For Daoji, Su Wen is full of respect. Seeing him abandon foreign objects and leave like this, he could only shake his head.
Today's society is very different from his time. Even the poor are mostly free of food and clothing, but people's hearts are more indifferent, and the heart of prevention is much more serious.
But despite this, Su Wen believes that there is nothing wrong with Daoji's society after more than 1,000 years.
The wisdom of the great monks cannot be underestimated.
Especially people like Daoji, who have been in contact with the lowest level of the folk and left all kinds of legends.
It's just that I don't know if the legend of "Jigong" punishing evil and promoting good will be spread in this world in a few years.
With Daoji's character, it's not impossible.
He had just come to this world, but he had questioned Su Wen, and he was very different from everyone else.
After Dao Ji left, Su Wen didn't pay much attention. In fact, he didn't know where Dao Jihui was wandering, and he couldn't pay attention to it.
I still practice in the temple every day, teasing the little beasts, or go to the construction site on the first floor, and watch the shelves of the main hall be erected, and the walls are completely capped, and the roof tiles are started.
After the day of Suwen**, the number of lay people who came to the temple to seek Buddhist explanations began to increase again. Every day, a few people come up, and some pilgrims often come up, or there are patients who come to seek medical treatment.
Many of them were pilgrims whose physical condition had deteriorated after the closure of the mountain, and Su Wen knew what was going on, and it was not easy to stop them, so he let them go. Every day, the mountain gate is a false side door, if someone wants to come up, it is arbitrary.
In this way, more and more news was learned, and the flow of people in the temple began to increase again, and there were more than 100 people every day, although it was also a lot, but it was much less than at the beginning.
Moreover, the people who came were more familiar with the laymen and pilgrims, and they did not have any impact on the temple.
After all, since the day the mountain was closed, a sign has been erected at the foot of the mountain to close the mountain, blocking most of the pilgrims and tourists.
These days, the monks in the monastery are also waiting, waiting to see if the rats will steal anything, and see what the effect will be after the abbot gives the rats a lecture and says those words.
One day, two days, three days, five days passed, and nothing was missing from the hall and the storehouse.
Xingxin Xingming also deliberately put a Zen cabbage in the corner of the wall, and when he looked at it again the next morning, it was still the same as when he put it there, no less at all.
The crowd finally determined that the rats were really smart, and that they had really stolen anything from the temple as Su Wen had said.
From this day on, a little bit of vegetables and nuts will be placed in the temple every day on the wall outside the hall. Although it is a bit unpleasant to have a litter of mice, this is an agreement between Suwen and them.
At the same time, they also found that this was true not only of the rats, but also of many of the animals in the temple.
Whether it's Forrest Gump or Squirrel Rabbit, a lot of things are told to them, and they may not understand. But after a demonstration, they will basically understand.
Sometimes you can even see a very humane performance in them.
Like, grinning.
Another example, rolling your eyes.
Also, contempt.
These emotions that belong to human beings, they can all be seen and felt in these animals.
At first, they thought it was fresh, and they enjoyed interacting with the animals.
For example, if you give a nut to a squirrel, you will exchange it with it, and the squirrel will take out a similar size from its own food storage and exchange it, which is very interesting, like a child.
But by the same means, when they go to tease the fox, they usually get a look of contempt.
This is the difference in IQ between animals.
And the crows of the mountains, the most intelligent of these birds. Someone first fed them some vegetable leaves, and then handed them a note to be sent to the monks patrolling the fields behind the mountains.
It was just an attempt, but they actually did. Picking up the rolled paper, he flew all the way to the area of the monks patrolling the fields in the mountains, and then threw the note on the ground and shouted at them, "Wow! "Call.
At the same time, every day after school, the children return to the temple immediately after school and play with the animals in the temple.
For example, playing children's games with them, such as airplane grids, can usually be learned by these animals after a few lessons.
They also played hide and seek with animals once, but only once. Because after the animals were hidden, they didn't find any of them.
And Su Wen was also nearby at the time, and he had already found those animals running to the mountains, leaving those stupid children to continue the search.
At the same time, the monks in the temple also practiced harder.
After all, after seeing so many miraculous things in Su Wen, how could they not be envious? There is no need to ask the means, one or two percent is enough.
After a few days, the rice on the mountain was all good.
Su Wen asked people to buy some sickles, ropes, etc., and led everyone up the mountain to harvest early in the morning.
Harvest all the rice and carry it back to the temple with a rope.
It took three full days to harvest and transport all the rice.
However, there were still many scattered paddies in the field, and the monks wanted to pick them up, but Su Wen stopped them.
Scattered in the ground, leave these to the little beasts on the mountain.
And so the people were reaping there, and in the midst of the harvested fields many birds and rodents were gathering the fallen rice.
According to the last statistics, about 30% of the rice harvested by the temple was lost, and most of it was stolen and eaten.
But there is no way to do it, after all, there are not enough people in the temple, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are too smart.
Next year, Su Wen plans to arrange more manpower and use more farmland to drive away birds and beasts, but at that time, birds and beasts that have improved their intelligence may be more difficult to deal with.
