The cave is not deep, almost at a glance; A small pyre, a small fire, and a little boy sitting on a stone beside him, wrapped in old rags, would not have noticed how beautiful the eyes on his dirty little face were, as long as no one came in to look at it......

The beauty of the peacock is well known, the peacock's eyes are full of affection, even after the transformation of the human form, it will still be like this, some things are deep in the bone marrow and cannot be changed.

However, he can hide it, hehe, because there is no child's eyes that are not clear and bright, as long as he pays attention to himself, he can cover them up.

Although I am not satisfied with the current look, the owner said that from now on, he will be able to follow her every day, see the various states in this world, and watch how the master starts from scratch step by step...... Think about it, what a thing to look forward to!

The first time I tasted the cheesy taste of red dust in person, although it looked simple and oilless soup in front of me, it was just a soup cooked with a few wild vegetables, a crab and a few shrimps thrown into a broken pot, but it was delicious.

Moreover, this welfare treatment is also good, you can snuggle in the arms of the master without any scruples, and sleep until dawn, such a good thing, but it is also the first time in thousands of years......

The light before dawn struggled to break free from the shackles of darkness, and the blue sky was still hazy and could not be seen very clearly.

The distant sound of the bell echoes in the ears, just like every morning at home, the sound wakes up the sleeping people.

In the cave, Mengfan, who had been holding a little boy in a protective posture, slowly opened his eyes, did he hear any hallucinations? What woke me up in my sleep was the bell of the Zen temple? Or, the Taoist temple also has to strike the bell?

No, I only heard that being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day is a 'monk', not a 'Taoist'.

Then, if you heard correctly, the place where this bell rings should be some distance from here, and I don't know how far it is.

Babble—

How can you not feel how cold it is?

Hee-hee...... master, you don't look at who the puppet is. But the master, even this dress...... It's ugly! 'Male peacocks love stinky beauty, and he is no exception. I don't know how long I can endure this sloppy appearance of myself.

Lowering his head and glancing at the little thing that was still in his arms, Mengfan replied in his heart: "Zhilu said that you are powerful, but sister, I will not let you take care of it all the time; Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to let you wear beautiful clothes in the world as soon as possible. ’

'I'm really looking forward to ......'

The clear river, in the crisp autumn morning mist, is particularly refreshing.

Mengfan, who was holding a little boy, stood on the shore and looked all the way over, there was a place suitable for taking water for a simple wash.

Fortunately, there are many willow trees here, so I broke a willow branch in my hand, used the rough part of the broken part as a toothbrush, and washed my teeth with clean water; Bent down to pick up the water, wash his face carefully, and then take out an old face cloth towel from the small bag to wipe the water droplets on his face and hands; He motioned for the little peacock to lean over and handed him another willow branch.

This little peacock has learned a lot, and he remembers the steps quite clearly.

"Sister, where are we going to find my mother?"

"Bao'er, my sister took you here to see if you can find your family, but my sister can't go too far from here, my sister came with a big brother, and the big brother entered the Taoist temple yesterday and hasn't come out yet." Bao'er, this name was called out of excitement.

This conversation is for those who have been following them in secret.

"I want a mother, I want a mother...... Woohoo......"

"Okay, good Bao'er, Bao'er doesn't cry, my sister will take you to your mother's ......"

Look at this reason, how above board? No matter what the reason for the mysterious person to keep her out of the Taoist temple and find someone to secretly follow her, it will not make people suspicious to look around the Taoist temple with such a reason.

Straightened up, looked left and right, and found a road that more people stepped on, and pointed to the village in the distance while heading into the mountains.

I don't know where the road leads.

The thin girl, with her short thick dress, holding a little boy of three or four years old, and a big dog with white dots around them, scurried around them for a while, and then behind them, which was very reasonable.

It's just that the face is very unfamiliar; I met an uncle who got up early to go up the mountain to collect firewood and an aunt who held a thick rope in her hand, who looked like a husband and wife, the two looked at each other inquiringly, looked again, and stopped: "Which little doll are you?" "It was the uncle who asked.

"Uncle, my house is far away from here, I came with my brother, and he is in the Qingfeng Temple over there; This little brother was picked up by accident, he said his surname was Lan, his mother called him Bao'er, he said his mother was gone, look, do you know him? ”

"Oh...... You're from afar......" To Mengfan's words, the firewood collector seemed to accept it easily, and glanced at the girl who was articulate and not afraid of life, and the person looked at the little boy beside her.

The aunt spoke: "Surname Lan? There is no such surname in these villages near us, looking at this dress, I guess which one is the baby who wants to eat, hey, pitiful, it must be that this child can't support him, so he threw this poor child on the side of the road...... It's pitiful, what a big baby is this, and it's still a male baby. ”

"Ah, he's been pestering me to let me take him to his mother, aunt and uncle, what can I do?"

"What else can I do? Little girl, why don't you take this child to the Taoist temple, let him have a hot meal first, and then let the masters in the Taoist temple help him to give this child a place to live. ”

"The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are not allowed, they are so fierce, yesterday only my brother was left to study in the Taoist temple, and I was not allowed to enter, and I lived in the cave with Bao'er for one night yesterday evening." Don't blame me for smearing you in front of the simple peasant family, if you want to play with me, you are ready to catch my sister's tricks.

"Ah, no, everyone can go in the Qingfeng Temple, and the master inside is very easy to talk to." The uncle's face was full of disbelief.

"Uncle, do you think I'm a liar? There, look, there's a cave over there, I picked up some firewood at the edge of the forest yesterday, caught a little crab in the river, caught a few shrimp, and cooked a wild vegetable soup to fill my stomach, and there was a broken pot in the cave. "Half-truths, half-truths, and falsehoods, make people have to believe it.

"Hmph......" The aunt was dissatisfied with her husband's maintenance of the Qingfeng Temple, she believed what she saw with her eyes, looking at the two little ones in front of her, the maternal love in her heart quickly flooded: "Child, don't worry, the Taoist priest in the Qingfeng Temple is not a thing, you go to the Baohua Temple two miles away from here, the monk master there will definitely take you in and give you a bowl of rice to eat." ”

Meng Fan smiled, and tried his best to tear away a sweet smile: "So, thank you God." ”

"No thanks, no thanks, go ahead, look, go that way, go all the way, just turn left at that intersection and keep going."

"Well, let's go, uncle and aunt will see you again!"

Smiling and thanking him, in the different looks of this couple who believe in Buddhism and believe in Buddhism, Mengfan carefully led the timid little boy beside him, and walked step by step towards the direction of Baohua Temple pointed out by the great god.

The person who secretly followed all night, at this time he was far away from the shadow, and listened to their conversation completely, anyway, no one saw it, he rolled his eyes by himself, prepared to go back, and asked the master, what should I do? Halfway through the test, everyone has to go to the monk's temple......
