"This is not my mother's string..."That's right, this string of Buddhist beads is the only thing left after her mother's death, that is, the string of Buddhist beads, but, how could it be in his hands? Lan Xue was shocked!

The old Taoist priest smiled, then handed the string of Buddhist beads to Lan Xue, and said, "Your mother does have a string in her hand, but I gave it to her, and this string is mine." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You gave it to my mother?" Lan Xue was surprised again, what does this old Taoist priest have to do with his mother? Why would you give your mother a string of Buddhist beads, and that Buddha beads are definitely not ordinary.

But the main thing is that this is a Buddha bead, and the old man in front of him is a Taoist priest... Isn't that strange? And her mother has never been to the Taoist temple, in her memory, her mother went to Buddhist temples!

"That's right, I gave it to your mother." The old Taoist priest said very casually, but Lan Xue listened to it casually, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Real person, are you very familiar with my mother?" In fact, since she was a child, she didn't know much about her mother, and her family didn't talk to her about her mother.

In her limited memory, she only followed her mother until she was six or seven years old, and at that time, her mother always took her to the temple to worship the Buddha and incense, which was very religious, but she was still very young, and her memory was only these.

As for her mother's death, she didn't see it with her own eyes, and her family wouldn't tell her, so until now she doesn't know how her mother died, which is also a heart disease she has always had.

So she has always only hidden it in her heart and doesn't talk about it to outsiders, which is also a not-so-beautiful secret for her.

But today, with the appearance of this string of Buddhist beads, and with the words of the old Taoist priest, the secret deposited in Lan Xue's heart has finally been awakened together.

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Familiar, not to mention familiar, I have a master-apprentice relationship with your mother!" ”

"Master and apprentice?" Lan Xue was stunned, master and apprentice? Is the relationship between his mother and the old Taoist priest a master-apprentice relationship? It made her a little messy.

"Hmm." The old Taoist priest nodded, and said slowly as if he had fallen into a memory: "Speaking of which, it was more than thirty years ago, at that time, I was still a little Taoist priest sweeping the floor in the Taoist temple..."

With the old Taoist priest's narration, Lan Xue gradually became clear about all the things about her mother.

That's a story that happened more than thirty years ago.

More than 30 years ago, the old Taoist priest was still a little Taoist priest who did not understand the world, because he was an orphan and grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, so although his life was boring, he was also free, and he had to do things every day very regularly.

Get up every morning and recite the Tao Te Ching and the Book of Changes ten times, then start to clean the Taoist temple, then eat, take a nap after eating, start practicing after taking a nap, and then prepare dinner, eat, and recite the Yellow Emperor's Neijing before going to bed...

Living like this, year after year, day after day, is also very regular, but on that day, his life completely changed.

The old Taoist priest remembered clearly, it was a rainy day, there was a light rain in the sky, and after taking a nap, the little Taoist priest practiced in the courtyard, but before he started, he heard someone knocking on the door, and couldn't help but wonder how to open the door.

You must know that their Taoist temple is a small Taoist temple, and there are only two people in the Taoist temple besides themselves, the master and the senior brother.

And the master and brother went out a few days ago, and they won't come back for a year and a half, so this Taoist temple is just him, not to mention people, even beasts are difficult to see.

Now that someone is knocking on the door, he can be sure that it is not the master and them, but he still goes and opens the door.

The door was opened, but there was no figure in sight, and he was puzzled, but suddenly he felt someone pulling his pants, and hurriedly looked down, only to see a little girl in tattered clothes standing in front of the door, a dirty little hand was holding him tightly, and a pair of clear eyes flashed with longing and expectation.

At that time, the little Taoist priest was so old that he rarely saw anyone other than the master and the senior brother, because there were really few people who came here to burn incense!

So after seeing the little girl, the little Taoist priest felt happy from the inside out, not for anything else, just because finally someone could accompany him! Otherwise, it would be very boring to live here alone for a year and a half.

So the little Taoist priest didn't dislike the little girl's dirty, picked her up, looked at her pure and bright eyes, and asked softly, "Little doll, are you here to find food?" ”

The little girl looked straight at the little Taoist priest with a pair of bright and bright eyes, and nodded after a while.

The little Taoist priest was happy, he didn't say a word, and walked into the kitchen with the little girl in his arms.

When he came to the kitchen, he took out a few white flour buns left in the cauldron, which he had left for himself to eat at night.

But he didn't care, so he took two white-flour buns, squatted down and handed them to the little girl.

The little girl looked at the little Taoist, then at the tempting white-flour steamed bun in his hand, and then in the little Taoist's very surprised gaze, she saluted the little Taoist, and then picked up the two white-flour steamed buns and ate them.

The little Taoist priest could see that the little girl must be very hungry, but she still ate slowly, and it did not make people feel that she was hungry after not eating for several days, but it was worthy of a very ladylike feeling.

Despite this, the little girl was really hungry, and she ate the two white-flour buns bigger than her two fists in a short time.

The little Taoist priest hurriedly poured a bowl of water and handed it to the little girl, who saluted politely again, and then took the bowl and drank it.

A bowl of water was also drunk, but the little girl still looked at the two white flour buns left on the table.

The little Taoist priest understood, smiled, and picked up the remaining two white-flour buns and handed them to the little girl.

"Let's eat!"

The little girl looked at the little Taoist priest seriously, and then saluted again, but this time, she only took a white-flour bun, and then said, "Thank you!" ”

The voice is crisp, like a yellow oriole crying softly, it is very beautiful, the little Taoist priest suddenly closed his mouth happily, this little guy is simply too cute.

This time the little girl really ate very slowly, because there were two white flour buns at the bottom, so she was not very hungry, and after eating another white flour bun, the little girl drank half a bowl of water, and then wiped the corners of her mouth and ate her fill.

"Full?" The little Taoist priest asked with a smile.

The little girl nodded very politely, and then looked at the little Taoist priest again, looking very seriously, and only after a while did she say crisply: "Brother, can I live here?" I can do laundry and cook, I can clean, I can do anything, can you let me stay? ”
