"Mama Fan hid in the forest and cried, and after calming down, she came back." Chao Yan replied.

"Yes, got it." Shen Rouning waved her hand, spread out the pen and paper, and began to copy the "Lotus Sutra".

When you come to the Buddha, you always have to express your awe. It is appropriate to copy the scriptures.

During dinner in the evening, Shen Rouning met Mama Fan at Mrs. Shen's fourth. Mama Fan had already regained her composure, and greeted Shen Rouning peacefully and respectfully, and she couldn't see anything strange in the afternoon at all.

Shen Rouning responded, and then quietly finished the meal with Mrs. Shen and Shen Duanrong. She could ask Mama Fan, but she never asked Mrs. Shen Si. In Shen Rouning's heart, Mrs. Shen Si has a lot of pain in her heart, and she, as a daughter, doesn't want to take pleasure in revealing her scars.

After the meal, after rinsing her mouth and putting away the dishes and chopsticks, Mrs. Shen San came over and said a little apologetically: "...... If my younger siblings don't mind, I'll want to go back to the city tomorrow. Brother Bai was poisoned and frightened this time, and at this time he lost his soul and launched a high fever. The master of the temple is not a doctor after all...... I think it's better to go back and raise Brother Bai. ”

Her eyes were a little red, and she was obviously extremely sad and tormented.

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she said, "Brother Bai's body is important...... A return to Beijing is. ”

"It's ruining my younger siblings." Mrs. Shen San said apologetically.

"The incense has already been served, and the scriptures have been heard, so why not disappoint the fun. The child is important, and the third sister-in-law doesn't have to mind. Mrs. Shen's expression was still faint, but everyone was used to her like this, and they didn't feel too rude.

Mrs. Shen San said a few more gossips, then took her leave and left.

Hearing the movement, she went to the main hall again and sincerely prayed to the Buddha to bless Brother Bai for a speedy recovery.

After the third wife left, the fourth wife Shen instructed Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong to clean up and send the two away.

It's dusk.

Shen Rouning asked the monks in the temple, then asked Shen Roubing, went out of Lanruo Temple, climbed up the mountain for a while, and arrived at a small pavilion with a simple style built by the mountain, waiting for the sunset.

The sky glows as warm yellow as oranges. There were birds flying in the air.

The sun gradually ceased to be dazzling, turned into an orange-red ball, slowly sinking from the mountains and forests, and the figure of the bird became a silhouette in the background of the setting sun, which has a particularly moving beauty.

Shen Rouning and Shen Roubing didn't speak for a long time, until the sun really set on the side of the mountain and couldn't see it anymore.

"Let's go back." After a long time, Shen Roubing recovered from the shock and said: "If it's really dark and you can't see the road, how can you walk if you are one foot deep and one foot shallow." One foot in the air, then it is really dangerous. "She's the eldest sister, so she always thinks more.

Shen Rouning nodded.

The two of them walked out of the pavilion, went down the steps, and suddenly saw two people walking far away on the mountain road, a middle-aged man in front of him, wide and fat, with a white and easy-going face, walking slowly with his back hand, relaxed and casual. Behind him, followed by a young man, who kept hunching his waist and was very respectful to the middle-aged man in front of him.

Shen Rou stared at her and paused.

Shen Roubing also saw it and said in surprise: "It's so late, will anyone still come to offer incense?" ”

"Let's wait." Shen Rou condensed.

"It's fine." Shen Roubing hesitated for a moment and said, "When they enter the temple, we will go back quietly." She thought that Shen Rouning didn't want to bump into these two strange men.

Shen Rouning didn't explain.

These two people are obviously going to Lanruo Temple. At this time, the sun has set, the afterglow is not over, although it is not dark, but at this time, it always makes people feel weird. It is nearly an hour's distance from the capital, and whoever is incense is not coming early. Moreover, Shen Rouning instinctively felt that there was something strange about these two people, not like ordinary people.

The two men walked closer, and soon turned onto the mountain road to Lanruo Temple.

Just when they were turning, Shen Rouning finally let Shen Rouning see what was strange-

The middle-aged man had a smooth skin like a woman's face, and he didn't have a little beard. Jiangnan literati are a place of scholars, people are so elegant, adult men have extremely neat and good-looking beards that are trimmed and maintained, and very few people make their chins bare.

Even if the chin is bare for other reasons, the blue fibrous roots on the chin are always missing.

It won't be like a woman.

That is to say, he is a eunuch in ten likely.

It turned out to be a eunuch...... Shen Rouning took a closer look at the little boy's posture and pursed her lips slightly.

After seeing the two of them turn around and be out of sight for the time being, Shen Rouning and Shen Roubing also continued to walk down. When they got on the fork in the road, they happened to see the two people stepping into the mountain gate of Lanruo Temple, and they were welcomed by the monks.

"It's really to Lanruo Temple." Shen Roubing said: "I thought that no one in Lanruo Temple wanted to come." She didn't want to do it a second time.

It was difficult to find anyone even to draw lots, and he refused to say a few words of good wishes after receiving incense and silver...... It is estimated that no one wants to come again and again for such a temple.

"As long as this mountain gate is still there, there will always be pilgrims coming." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "Let's hurry up, we have to pack our luggage." By the way, I copied a sutra and wanted to enshrine it in front of the Buddha to show a little bit of my heart...... What about you? ”

"I copied one too." Shen Roubing said: "It's just that I copied it when I was okay at home in the past." I brought it this time. Before we leave tomorrow, let's go to the master together. ”

"Yes, okay." Shen Rouning nodded.

The two people led the maid into the mountain gate, but they didn't see the two people just now. I think I was led to the main hall. Shen Rouning looked towards the main hall, but couldn't see anything, so she didn't stay any longer and went back to the meditation room.

She didn't know that the two people were not in the main hall just now, but in the meditation room where the abbot was presiding. The white-faced middle-aged man sat cross-legged with the abbot master, and on the kang table in front of him, there were two teas.

"Just now the miscellaneous family passed by the main hall,......" the middle-aged man smiled and lengthened his tone, and asked, "Are there pilgrims?" ”

"The mountain gate is open, and there are still some pilgrims from time to time." The abbot master of Lanruo Temple is in his fifties, his law name is Juexin, his eyebrows and beards are white, his expression is indifferent, and he has the wind of turning outside.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man seemed a little interested and asked, "It seems that the pilgrims have stayed in the temple?" Which one is it? ”

"It is said that it is the Shen family. The two female donors, leading several small donors, prayed for peace and success. Master Juexin's tone was indifferent, as if nothing was worth hiding from people, so he would not be displeased because of the middle-aged man's questioning, and said: "It's a pity that a little benefactor was frightened by a snake while playing in the mountains, and they will leave tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Jia......

The middle-aged man rolled this surname in his heart, and didn't think of any wealthy dignitaries with the surname Shen, so he didn't ask any more questions, and beckoned to the young man behind him.

The young man bowed forward, took out an apricot cowhide envelope from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the middle-aged man with both hands. The middle-aged man took it, put it on the table in front of him, and pushed it in the direction of Master Juexin.

"This is three months of incense silver allocated by the master." The middle-aged man said cautiously: "The master should not have forgotten what the master meant...... It is enough for Lanruo Temple to have a master to worship, and it doesn't hurt to have occasional people, but the master doesn't want to see this place. ”

"It is rare for the masters to study Buddhism here with peace of mind, regardless of the world, and without having to suffer for a living, and I hope the masters will cherish it."

"The old man understands." Master Juexin folded his hands and bowed.

"In that case, we won't bother the master too much, and we'll go back." The middle-aged man got up from the futon, bowed his hand to Master Juexin, and said, "It is customary for the miscellaneous family to put incense on behalf of the master, and to make it convenient for the master." ”

Master Juexin promised again.

When the two arrived at the main hall, it happened that Mrs. Shen San was still kneeling in front of a Guanyin statue and praying sincerely, and the middle-aged man seemed to pay attention to her appearance, and found that she didn't know her, so she didn't look too much, and was led by Master Juexin, and went to the side hall to worship the vajra seat, restrained her expression, and bowed to the ground.
