At present, the soldiers are in chaos and the people are not living, if he flees in such a mess, he will either starve to death or freeze to death after coming down the mountain, and he will not have enough to eat at this time, how will he survive in the days to come?

His mind turned sharply, and his hesitant gaze suddenly drifted around, and by the light reflected in the snow, he could vaguely discern the scenery around him.

It's unfortunate or unfortunate, sneaking up on the Hundred Flowers Garden, which is a cold winter at this time, but this Hundred Flowers Garden is a scene full of spring, quite a chaotic flower gradually charming to the eye, but he has always been fascinated by the eyes and not fascinated by the heart.

He clearly remembered that at the foot of the east wall of the Hundred Flowers Garden, there was a hole in disrepair, which was usually blocked by a piece of Hunan bamboo, and few people found it, and this hole could just enter the Hall of Immeasurable Merit.

Everything seemed to be like the Buddha's guidance in the dark, allowing him to come to the Hundred Flowers Garden, hinting at his entry into the main hall.

In this way, with a sense of piety and in accordance with the Buddha's wishes, he entered the main hall step by step.

The golden Buddha light and the red candle flame are not good for you to shine, but you have to illuminate the merit box under the incense case in a colorful and brilliant way, constantly attracting his thief's slippery eyes.

In his heart and mouth, he recited such pious words as Amitabha, and the merit box was pried open by him.

Seeing so much snowflake silver, a pair of dim eyes instantly brightened, and without saying a word, after hurriedly scooping up a few silvers, he fled from Jinming Temple in a hurry.

When he returned to the green mountains and bamboo forest, it was already dawn in the sky, he locked the door, lit the candle and looked at it, his heart suddenly beat wildly, this time, he stole not a cent, but half of the snowflake silver in the merit box! As expected, it should be half of the savings of Jinming Temple, and the money for disaster relief and food is usually taken from there.

He clearly remembers that when the footsteps outside the warehouse were getting closer and closer, he didn't even open several granaries in a row and didn't find a suitable place to hide, just because the granary was empty and had bottomed out.

Obviously, there is not much surplus grain in Jinming Temple, which means that you have to take money from the merit box to buy grain and fill the warehouse.

Looking at the pile of snow-white silver under the candlelight, his heart seemed to be bitten by thousands of ants, forcing him to slap himself a few times in remorse.

Keep blaming yourself for being obsessed with it at the time?

Originally, I thought that I would only take a little bit, and if I took it, I would go down the mountain to find a place to stay, and I should not be found if I took only a little bit. Who knows, the black light is blind, thinking that the money is like falling from the sky, always thinking of taking more, taking more.

I never thought that I would steal more than half of it as soon as I stole it, and this time, it completely forced Jinming Temple to a desperate place!

He laid the silver neatly on the table, and sat in front of them all morning, until the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and the sky grew brighter, and the news of the theft of the Jinming Temple soon spread, and at the same time reached his ears.

After hearing the bad news, he immediately rolled up his baggage and stumbled out of the green mountains and bamboo forests.

He has to escape, he has to escape!

If this matter is found to be committed by him, when there is still a way to live, he will be bound to show the public, be scolded by thousands of people, and go down to the underworld, and he will also be beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell by the Buddha.

But his journey was not destined to be smooth, and on his way to escape, he found that there were refugees all along the way, and even several dying refugees fell under him to block his way, and begged in a drowsy manner: "Save the suffering elder, save my poor child, he has not eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water for three days and three nights." ”

For a moment, he suddenly felt that the burden behind him was so heavy that he was almost out of breath.

I really can't believe it, it's only been two days, and when he stepped on the road down the mountain again, the entire universe has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the scenes in front of him are unexpected.

Within three days, the temple will run out of food, and at that time, not only will the refugees who live on porridge die in pieces, but even hundreds of monks in the temple will starve to death.

When he left, he took away not only a bag of white snowflake silver, but also a large and small life.

He stopped at the three-way intersection, and after all, he still couldn't make a decision, so he found a trail and went around and returned to this green mountain and bamboo forest.

"Oh Mani Mani Bebe Coax, Oh Mani Mani Bebe Coax ......"

The fog locks the mountain, the mountain locks the fog, and a few Sanskrit sounds slowly float in the lonely green mountains and bamboo forests, which are lonely and even more lonely.

Zhang hunchback frowned and sighed, thinking of what was in his heart, he was really sad.

If he doesn't go down the mountain that day, he won't lose all the money for the refugees, if he doesn't lose the silver, he won't have a temple that can't go back, hiding in the green mountains and bamboo forests to live a timid life, and there will be no such things as follows.

Today's Jinming Temple must have been in a dire straits, and is looking for thieves all over the mountains, but who would have thought that the thief of thieves is the current abbot!

It's really funny, he will have a hunchback today, and that's all self-inflicted.

"Ouch!" He was lying down well, and I don't know who threw something in his face.

There is some slight tingling sensation. He raised his hand and touched his face, a tepid and slightly silky sensation touching his fingertips. I opened my eyes impatiently, only to find that it was bird poop! I sniffed it closely, and it still stinks.

Hearing the sound of birds calling from the depths of the thick shade overhead, Zhang Hunchback was so angry that he immediately propped up half of his body, reached a small stone from the ground, and threw his head at the dead birds, "Bang! You damn bunch of shit - "360 Literature Network

Frightened by the angry voice, the birds sprang out of the bamboo tops and flew away with a bang, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few dead leaves to fall from the air without hurry.

was so angry that his teeth itched, and suddenly, something seemed to fall from the sky, and with a "poof" sound, it slammed on his head, "Hey! ”

Zhang hunched back and suddenly collapsed on the stone and cried out in pain, lifting his finger to test the edge of pain, and it was another heart-piercing pain!

Then I began to feel pain, while secretly rejoicing, fortunately it was just a swollen small bag, fortunately there was no blood, if I saw blood at this time, it was not a sign that there would be a bloody disaster today, and I was going to be unlucky?

Thinking of the bad things again, Zhang Hunchback couldn't help but buzz and cry, only to feel that he was really wronged, looked up pitifully at the depths of the green shade, and muttered sadly: "Even you make fun of me Hunchback, don't you?" ”

In the vast green mountains and bamboo forests, there was no response, not even the cries of birds, and they seemed to have completely flown away.

was rubbing his forehead, and I don't know where a voice or two came out, if there seemed to be nothing, from far to near.

"Abbot? O abbot, ...... abbot."

There was a tall and thin monk in the south, and if he was wearing a green shirt instead of a mud-colored robe, he would be thought to be made of bamboo.

"Is it there? Abbot? Keeping calling cordially, the little monk turned his eyes, and finally found the figure of the abbot on a big stone, and he ran over happily, "My good abbot, it turns out that you are here!" ”

Zhang Hunchback thought he was hallucinating, squinted his eyes and confirmed again and again, and found that someone was really coming!

Afraid that something bad would happen, he immediately got up from the stone, pointed to the little monk, and asked in a panic: "You, you, how do you know that I am here?" ”

This is his hunchbacked private place, and no one knows about it!

"Doesn't the abbot run here often?" The little monk touched the back of his head and replied without embarrassment, he was not surprised at all by this question.

What the! Often???

Zhang hunched back and held up a pair of eyes wide, and suddenly felt a little incredible.

The little monk approached and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh?" Abbot, why is there a big bag swollen on your forehead? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Zhang hunched his back and helped his forehead, and hurriedly prevaricated.

The little monk suddenly became uncalm, and immediately looked so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Oh abbot, what time is it, why are you still here! The temple is bursting with a pot! ”

Zhang hunched back and asked in a low voice: "In the temple, what's wrong in the temple?" ”

Seeing the abbot's absent-minded look, the little monk suddenly cried out, "Oops! Big deal, big thing! Say no more, come with me! The two elders are waiting! ”

Hearing him mention the two old monks, Zhang Humpback began to feel uneasy in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Elder Sun, Elder Tang?" They waited... What are you waiting for? ”

"Naturally, I'm waiting for you, the abbot!" Several flowers and plants under his feet were trampled to death, and the little monk was in a hurry, so he had to explain: "The temple has been robbed!" It's a serial theft that has never been done before! The elders told me to come back to you for interrogation! ”

Interrogate!??

"So...... Two elders, both! Got it all? Zhang hunched his back swallowed and said with difficulty, the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop coming out.

"Isn't it! The elders have spoken, and this matter must be severely punished! The little monk straightened up, and said with horizontal eyebrows. Turning his head, he found that the abbot's shoulders and hands were shaking violently, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Abbot, what are you shaking?" ”

It's over, it's over, it's dead! He was found out before he showed up, and it seems that those old monks have ironclad evidence!

Zhang Humpback suddenly regretted it, he hesitated to go down the mountain at the beginning, and now the old monks have come to arrest people!

No, he wants to run, he must run!

He staggered to his feet, grabbed the little monk's hand with his backhand, and said tremblingly: "Since the two elders are waiting, then there can be no further delay." Let's go, let's go now! ”

"Oh no!" As soon as he took a step, he suddenly shouted, "No! I also left two pieces of clothing behind. Come, look, there's a little bamboo hut over there, you go to the little bamboo hut over there to help me clean up, go quickly! ”

The little monk looked in the direction of the abbot's finger, and was suddenly a little confused, thinking to himself what clothes would he accept at this time? I was about to turn my head and say something to the abbot, but who expected - the abbot ran away!

"Huh? Hello Abbot! What are you running? ”
