"Master, I'll take a look."

Seeing that Xia Liang and Su Mei were so scared, Ya'er proposed to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian shook her head and went directly to the source of the voice, so frightened that Xia Liang and Su Mei hurriedly grabbed her: "Miss, don't go, that's a snake, what if it's a poisonous tongue?" ”

"Yes, master, don't go, let us go."

Ya'er also hurriedly persuaded.

Shen Lian was a little helpless for the three of them, but he still persuaded him: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'll take a look." ”

In fact, the reason why she had to go was because she heard a slight gasping sound just now, and she thought that someone had been bitten by a snake, so she had to go over to take a look.

The three of them couldn't persuade Shen Lian, so they could only go with them.

In the alley, an old monk was sitting against the wall, his robe was already a little broken, and he was still holding a cane in his hand, the most conspicuous thing should be the cauliflower snake that bit his leg.

Shen Lian is a medical student, and she also knows a lot about snakes, and at a glance she can see that this snake is actually a cauliflower snake, which is not poisonous, so the old monk will not be in danger.

The old monk lowered his head slightly, as if looking at the cauliflower snake, but he didn't make any movement.

This is also what makes Shen Pian puzzled, according to the thinking of ordinary people, shouldn't this snake be directly dragged up and thrown away? After all, it's not poisonous.

Even if the old monk didn't know this snake and didn't know if it was poisonous or not, his first reaction should be to expel the snake.

Xia Liang looked at the old monk motionless, and suddenly said with some concern: "Why doesn't this old monk move?" It can't be poisoned, right? Su Mei also nodded thoughtfully: "I don't know, but looking at his appearance, he really looks a little similar." ”

Hearing what they said, the bud next to him hurriedly said: "No, no, that snake is not venomous, it will not die, it is a very common cauliflower snake in the countryside, how can it be poisonous." ”

Shen Lian ignored the three of them, and looked at the old monk seriously, the snake was estimated to be full, and he didn't leave, just wandering around the old monk, like a ...... Thanksgiving kids? The old monk also raised his head, turned his head slightly sideways as if looking at the snake, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Amitabha." ”

"Doesn't this snake bite hurt?" Shen Lian asked subconsciously.

The old monk was not surprised when he heard the human voice, but said with a smile: "Of course it hurts." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lian was even more strange: "Since it hurts, why didn't you leave just now?" This cauliflower snake is not venomous, you can just shake it off. ”

This old monk is very really incomprehensible, but Shen Lian is very interested and wants to ask clearly.

The old monk looked at the snake and said for a long time: "It is difficult for this cauliflower snake to eat once, so I am willing to feed him with blood." ”

If it is a poisonous snake, you can use it to poison people and then enjoy the food, if it is a python, it is simpler, and you can directly put your mouth down, but the cauliflower snake is different, that is, there is no poison, and there is no python size, so it is destined to be the one who starves.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian was not curious, but she admired the old monk in front of her: "The master is really a person with a heart, if others see it, I am afraid that he will be killed directly, where would he think about this." ”

When ordinary people see a snake, their first reaction is not to kill it directly, where will they care if it can eat enough.

"That's why I want it to feed itself and not hurt anyone else, lest it kill you."

The old monk made a deportation gesture as he spoke, signaling the snake to leave.

The snake seemed to understand what the old monk meant, and left the alley in three steps and two turns.

"It's getting dark, donor, go back quickly, it's dangerous outside."

The old monk still had a peaceful smile on his face, which made people feel very comfortable to watch.

It is precisely because it is very remote here, and the four of them are all girls, so they have to be extra careful, but fortunately, there are no people on this road, so there is no danger to pity them along the way. 17

Shen Lian looked at the sky that had already darkened, and asked with some concern: "It's so late, I don't know where the master is going to rest?" It was a little cold that night, Shen Lian and they lived in the temple, but this old monk had no place to live, which made Shen Lian unconsciously a little worried.

Such a kind monk, Shen Lian naturally has good thoughts in his heart, hoping that he can be well.

"The world is so big, you can accommodate yourself anywhere, it's good for poor monks to be here, don't bother with girls."

The old monk obviously didn't want to trouble Shen Lian either, and hinted that he had stayed here for the night.

Shen Lian naturally heard the old monk's pity, and he didn't force him, so he turned his mind and asked: "Today's encounter can be regarded as fate, I don't know the master's legal name?" Which temple is the monk? Shen Lian has a good impression of this kind monk, and wants to write it down, maybe there will be fate in the future, and he will be able to meet him again.

The old monk shook his head and said in a low voice: "The poor monk's name is Huiming, but he is just an ascetic. ”

Dervishes are also called ascetics or ascetics, and dervishes have to endure severe suffering, such as hunger strikes, lying on a bed full of nails, walking on fiery charcoal, and other perverse things.

The main task of an ascetic monk is to meditate, to seek spiritual liberation and freedom from the suffering of endless samsara by reducing material life to the simplest level.

Because of this, dervishes have endured for thousands of years.

They are seen by many as "messengers of God" who come to the mortal world to benefit all beings.

As soon as he heard that Huiming was an ascetic, Shen Lian also had two more points of admiration, and even the three maids behind him looked at the old monk with two points more respect.

Hui Ming didn't seem to feel the changes in them, and still said lightly: "Donor, go back quickly, it's dangerous at night." ”

Shen Lian nodded, and just wanted to say goodbye, when he suddenly found that Hui Ming's gaze was a little hollow, and thinking about it carefully, Hui Ming didn't seem to be looking at them directly, even when he looked at them, his eyes didn't focus on them.

Shen Lian stopped, and Su Mei was a little puzzled: "Miss, what's wrong?" Why don't you go? Shen Lian didn't reply, but looked at Huiming seriously, and suddenly asked, "Master Huiming, take the liberty of asking, is there something wrong with your eyes?" Because she had not been diagnosed or treated, she was not sure if Huiming had a problem with her eyes, so she could only ask first.

"yes, it's out of sight at night."

Hui Ming didn't have any superfluous emotions when he spoke, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Shen Lian frowned and asked again, "What about the daytime?" "It's normal during the day."

Isn't that night blindness? Shen Lian also understood this symptom when she heard it.

"I heard that there is a man named Jiang Yue here, his medical skills are very good, he should be able to cure your illness, why don't you go to him?" Shen Lian said with some curiosity and some anger.

I thought that this Jiang Yue person was very good before, but it may not be the case now, if Jiang Yue is unwilling to treat this ascetic because he has no money, then she will definitely not want this kind of person.

Naturally, I look down on this kind of person.

"Not really."

Hui Ming quickly denied Shen Lian's claims.

It's dawn.

Shen Lian opened her eyes, dreamless all night, and slept very comfortably.

She got up and sat down, and took out the medicine slip from under the pillow again, pondered for a while, and was very proud of her plan, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

Just as he was about to turn over and get out of bed, the door of his room creaked, it turned out that Xia Liang, who had gotten up early, had just come back from fetching water outside, and saw that Shen Lian had woken up, so he hurriedly put the basin on the shelf and came over to serve Shen Lian and dress.

"You were tired enough yesterday, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shen Lian asked her a little distressed.

After these days of running, she is very fond of the most considerate and thoughtful maid beside her, and she runs around with her without a trace of resentment, and she is indeed a loyal girl.

In fact, although Xia Liang and Su Mei are maid slaves, whether they were in Shangshu Mansion in the past or in the current palace, how could their close maids ever suffer a little grievance? Which one didn't grow up pampered? If you take it out, others will not think that it is from a maid, but will only think that it is a lady of which family.
