Chapter 19: The Buddha and the Devil

19, Buddha and Demons

The next day, after noon, Wang Yuanwai sat on the recliner and took a nap, the weather became hotter and hotter, he was sweating profusely while falling asleep, and suddenly wanted to eat something cold to cool off the heat.

"Ah Piao!"

As soon as the king shouted, Ah Piao, who was guarding the door, ran in, hunched over and smiled to flatter: "What does the master command?" ”

Wang Yuanwai touched the sweat on his mouth and shook his fingers: "Take a few fruits to relieve the heat." ”

"Okay." Ah Piao answered, the fart ran out of the curl, and within half an hour he came back with a basket of plums, the bamboo basket was still dripping with water, and he handed a plum to Wang Yuanwai, "I just fished it up from the well, but it's cool." ”

Wang Yuanwai took it and gnawed it, and Ah Piao found a fruit saucer, picked out the plums one by one and put them on the plate. Picking it up, I suddenly heard a surprise from Ah Piao.

"Sir, look at this!"

Wang Yuanwai was so frightened that he almost choked, swallowed the plum with great effort, and blamed: "What a surprise! What's there to see......" he said as he stretched out his fat-headed, big-eared brain.

This sight shocked his heart and liver, and there was a layer of broken gold under the basket!

"This, thisβ€”" Wang Yuanwai's hands trembled in disbelief, "what's going on?" ”

Ah Piao scratched his head, and he also looked uncertain: "The little one doesn't know what to do, and that's it when he fishes it out of the well...... When the plums were put in, there was no gold. ”

"Fished out of a well?" Wang Yuanwai's bean-like little eyes rolled, and he actually got up from the recliner, "Which well did you put it?" Take me there. ”

Ah Piao took the royal staff out to an old well in the side courtyard that no one cared about, he led the way in front, and said as he walked: "There are many people coming and going in the kitchen, and the villain is worried that it is not safe to put melons, fruits and plums there, and I heard that no one lives here, so I put them here." ”

If he hadn't said it, Wang Yuanwai really couldn't remember that there was such a barren little garden, he walked to the well and looked inside, the bottom of the black and secluded well, the water surface shallow light, as if it was not deep. Ah Piao scratched his head and looked honest: "They all said that this is a waste well and can't get water, but I thought about trying it, but I didn't expect that there was still some well water in it......"

After being reminded by Ah Piao, Wang Yuanwai remembered that there was such a well in the house that could not produce water, and it had been abandoned for many years. And this small garden used to be repaired to please a certain concubine, but Mrs. Wang was a fierce and jealous woman, and she later betrayed the concubine, and this garden was not cared for, and the people in the house easily did not come here, for fear of making Mrs. unhappy. Only Ah Piao, a stupid boy, is new and doesn't understand the rules, so he came here by mistake.

The past is like a wisp of smoke drifting in front of him, and Wang Yuanwai didn't have the heart to worry about the little concubine, but now his heart is full of yellow and clear gold, and he hurriedly supported Ah Piao to salvage: "How did you put it yesterday, do it again to show me." ”

Ah Piao put a few more fruits in the bamboo basket, let the back tie it to the well wheel, and slowly let it sink down. Only a faint sound of water immersion was heard, and the basket sank. After a while, Ah Piao lifted the basket up, it was wet, and then there were some fine gold dust in the cracks of the basket at the bottom of the basket, which was far less than the first time it was fished out.

Wang Yuanwai opened his chubby five fingers, pulled out the gold slag little by little, and did not let go of a grain the size of sand, he asked Ah Piao to continue fishing, and kept fishing. Later, Ah Piao simply jumped into the well, fished for two hours, and almost dug through the bottom of the well, until there was no golden light, and then he climbed out again.

"Old, sir, it's gone."

Ah Piao was so tired that he collapsed to the ground when he climbed up, sticking out his tongue and breathless. Wang Yuanwai used a handkerchief to pocket the broken gold, a fist-sized bag, and he was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed: "Not bad, not bad!" ”

After repeatedly confirming that there was no gold at the bottom of the well, Wang Yuanwai reluctantly took Ah Piao out of the small garden, and after returning to the room, he took out a small scale and weighed it, and the gold added up to six taels! Wang Yuanwai's mind turned quickly, and he calculated a shrewd account: six taels a day, one hundred and eighty taels in a month, and December in a year, that is......

Two thousand one hundred and sixty taels! Or gold!

"Ah float here." Wang Yuanwai waved to Ah Piao very "kindly", picked a piece of gold the size of a fingernail from the broken gold, and wanted to reward him, "You are very loyal and down-to-earth, this is your reward." ”

Ah Piao hurriedly made a grateful expression: "Thank you, Master for rewarding!" ”

But Ah Piao spread out his palm, and Wang Yuanwai regretted it again, he felt that this piece of gold was too big, so he looked for it again, and re-selected a reward similar to the melon seed kernel to Ah Piao, and did not forget to advise.

"This matter can only be known to you and me, and the third person must not know, understand?"

Ah Piao nodded: "The villain understands." ”

Wang Yuanwai held a handkerchief of gold and was happy alone, as if he had a treasure, he thought about going to fish and fish again tomorrow, every day, it won't be long before five hundred taels will come back.

After a day of hard work, Ah Piao was so tired that his back hurt, and after the king rested, Ah Piao stretched his waist and yawned, and walked to the small garden during the day.

This is the courtyard of the second entry of the willow house, the people in the family are enjoying the cool in the yard, Qianqian also learns from the king, lying on a rocking chair, pinching the mud golden plum fan in one hand, holding the watermelon in the other hand to send it to her mouth, she bites it in small bites, and eats both elegant and delicate. Xiaohe saw Ah Piao fall to the ground, and gave him a piece of watermelon with a smile: "Brother Piao, eat it quickly, I cut it." ”

Ah Piao caught it and quickly took a big bite, and the sweet cold melon went down to his stomach, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The watermelon is only delicious if it is frozen." ”

Qianqian covered her mouth and spit out watermelon seeds, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, and said obliquely: "The dead fat man didn't give you one when he ate the fruit?" ”

Ah Piao finished gnawing the melon and took another piece: "He? The plucking of the iron rooster is more rare than the flowering of the iron tree in a hundred years! There was no fruit, and the skin of the fruit was poured into a heap. ”

Master Lu was mixing a bowl of black things, like ink, but it was more viscous. He shook his head when he heard this: "It sounds like a rich and unkind person." ”

Xiaohe said: "It's not! I went out to buy vegetables, and the people of Xuzhou scolded the surnamed Wang, and the government increased the tax by three percent, and the dead fat man asked the tenant farmers to pay two percent more harvest, and let people not live? ”

Qianqian listened thoughtfully, and Ah Piao angrily smashed the melon skin to the ground: "The heart is too dark!" ”

"What are you afraid of, he has the ability to eat it, I have the ability to make him spit it out, and I don't even keep the old foundation." As Qianqian spoke, she caught a glimpse of a huge melon being eaten half by Ah Piao alone, and he reached out and wanted to take it, so she slapped it over: "Don't move!" This is the little monk's. ”

Ah Piao touched the back of his hand and complained aggrievedly: "I am a cow and a horse, and I won't let me ...... if I eat more melons."

"Even mine is for you to eat, and you are not satisfied?" Qianqian picked up the plate and walked to Miao Fan's room, shaking the fan gracefully, "My little monk Wenshu is so hard, I want to treat him well." ”

Ah Piao dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, still waving his teeth and claws at her back, Master Lu smiled when he saw this, but picked up the bowl of black paste and went back to the room. Xiaohe tugged Ah Piao's sleeve and secretly stuffed something in his hand: "Brother Piao, I also left two pieces for you, eat quickly." ”

Ah Piao suddenly laughed and affectionately touched Xiaohe's round face: "You are the most well-behaved!" ”

Since he stayed, he really couldn't find anything to do every day except to help with the cleaning and occasionally visit the store. Fortunately, this is a study, with a rich collection of books, and it just so happened that he also signed up for the autumn festival by mistake, and simply read the book, on the one hand, to pass the time, and on the other hand, to set a temporary goal for the aimless life.

He is a quiet person, zazen is very easy to enter, and the same is true for reading, and he soon blends with the ink fragrance in his hand, and he never stops reading a book until he finishes it.

The candle flame on the desk flickered, and the light dimmed and then brightened, and Miao Fan was distracted. He raised his eyes and saw Qianqian put down the scissors that cut the heart of the candle and pushed the candlestick closer: "It's too dark to hurt your eyes, you've been watching it for a long time, just rest for a while, come, eat watermelon!" ”

She is always enthusiastic and lively, never knows what is subtle and tactful, oh no, maybe she understands, but her gentleness and loveliness are all made to outsiders to see, is pretending, the real she is like this, she loves to laugh, loves to make a little temperament, is a headache little witch.

Qianqian snatched the book from his hand and fed the watermelon to his mouth: "Eat quickly, eat quickly." ”

Miao Fan began to feel uncomfortable again, turned his face slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll come by myself." Taking the cold watermelon from her fingertips, he touched the back of her warm hand.

He eats, she sees. She likes to watch him eat, especially the things she gives him with her own hands, which makes her feel satisfied. She held her cheeks, looked at him motionlessly, and realized that he was so good-looking! The eyebrows are picturesque, plump and handsome, and the hair has grown up, and the hair color is jet-black and soft, and you can tie the crown when it is longer.

Qianqian's heart moved, and she found a comb and walked behind Miao Fan to comb his hair. Miao Fan was startled and made a gesture to stand up: "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't move!" Qianqian pressed his shoulder, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll comb your hair." Little monk, you've been shaved since you were a child, haven't you? Surely you haven't combed your hair, have you? ”

Miao Fan stiffened and sat down again, and lowered his eyes with a "hmm".

Qianqian chuckled: "I remembered a joke. It is said that there is a stupid man who wants to learn from others to do business, and then he buys a basket of combs and sells them in the temple, and everyone knows about it, and they all laugh at him for taking off his pants and farting - more than that! ”

Miao Fan was also amused by her: "Heh......"

"Funny, isn't it? I'm going to be a lot better, and it's related to you monks. Qianqian was always gushing in front of him, and asked playfully: "I'll test you, the monk plays an umbrella, what's the next sentence?" ”

"Lawlessness." Miao Fanzhi said, and answered honestly.

Qianqian waved her hand: "This is too simple, everyone has heard of it, let's start again." The old monk's hundred clothes, and then what? ”

Miao Fan thought for a while: "Patchwork together." ”

"Okay! I guessed this too, and I came back again. Five monks? ”

"Half-hearted."

"Monk looking in the mirror? Don't say I don't remind you, the mystery has to do with the comb just now. ”

"Hmm...... No count (bun) can be applied (comb). ”

Miao Fan is smart, and he didn't pass him when he said a lot of words, but because he said so many words, his face was not so indifferent, and his expression was bright and lively. Qianqian was very happy in her heart, bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with one.

"I'll test you again, if you can't answer, you have to promise me a condition." She smiled slyly, and said without waiting for him to agree, "The little monk and the big girl worship the church, what is below?" ”

Miao Fan was stunned, looked at her bright smiling eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Qianqian generously let him look at it, and at the same time looked at him without being shy, until he looked embarrassed and lowered his head. He stammered, "I, I...... I don't know what to do. ”

"You've lost!"

Qianqian clapped her hands and jumped happily, laughed and sat on his lap, and even hugged his neck: "Ah, yes, I am willing to lose the bet, little monk, you have to agree to my conditions." ”

Miao Fan sat on pins and needles, and when she wanted to get up, she pressed again: "What, what conditions?" ”

"Well, let me think about it." The more embarrassed he became, the more Qianqian wanted to hang his appetite, "You close your eyes first, and then I'll tell you." ”

Miao Fan obediently closed his eyes. Seeing that he couldn't see, she looked at him more unscrupulously, from his forehead to his eyebrows to his eyes, and then to the bridge of his nose, the tip of his nose...... The last glance fell on his beautiful lips.

"My condition isβ€”"

She was only halfway through her words, and Leng Buding leaned over and kissed him on the lips, Miao Fan noticed the heat on her lips, opened her eyes in shock, and subconsciously wanted to push her away.

She hugged him tighter, leaning her lips together, muttering vaguely, "I want you...... Kiss me. ”

He originally planned to push her away, but his palm was on her waist, but it was like being entangled in a spider's web, and he couldn't break free or shake it off, so he could only be willing to be bound by the web. Qianqian tasted the taste of his lips, with a light sweetness, she was not satisfied with this sweetness, so she took the lead in sticking out her tongue to break through his teeth. He bit hard at first, but at last he was outwhelmed by her fervent strength, and when she bit the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth in pain, and then her smooth and dexterous tongue got in, twisted his tongue and entangled it fiercely.

Gradually, his defense turned into offense, and he took the initiative to lean over and kiss him, and she put her arms around him and was pushed onto the table.

Miao Fan only felt that he was like a demon, even if the Buddhist scriptures sounded in his ears, he couldn't shake him in the slightest. In front of his eyes was a bewitching manju sawa, planted on the other side of sin, tempting passers-by who came and went on the Lechuan River, luring them into a hell from which they would never recover.

She is lust, she is evil, she is Moro. When he met her, he could no longer become a Buddha.
