The wind is blowing.

The first cold snap from Siberia this winter prematurely arrived in southern Korea, which has an oceanic climate.

The team members thought that they could follow Li Ruzhu's plan and follow the path on the bank of the river at the foot of the right side, walk to the end of the river before dark, and then spend the night in a mountain village at the end of the river.

However, everyone had just walked halfway according to the scheduled journey, and with the howling northwest wind, the sky and the earth suddenly turned gray, and a blizzard suddenly came. The goose feathers and snow particles continue to hit the person's face, and the pain is like a pinprick in the face.

The team members had to squint their eyes, wrap their winter clothes tightly, and walk forward with difficulty.

In less than half an hour, the mountains and fields were already white. The peaks in the distance and the feet in the near distance are all covered in snow.

The team members walked on the snow, and there was a "creaking, creaking" sound under their feet from time to time.

The thicker and thicker snow slowed down the pace of the team. It seems that according to the predetermined plan, it is impossible to reach the end of the creek before dark.

"Ouch, I can't even lift my feet. I haven't eaten for a day! Shi Tianji complained as he walked.

Indeed, everyone has been busy saving people all day, and they still haven't eaten a drop of rice!

The sky was getting darker, and the mountains and trees in the distance were completely hidden in the dense snow.

The frozen river at the foot of the foot on the right has long been covered by heavy snow, leaving the team members who can rely on the only reference for moving forward.

Luo Shiyin looked around, except for the white snowfield, there was no village hut to see. As night approaches, the first problem now is to solve the problem of food and shelter for the team members.

Luo Shiyin motioned for everyone to stop, and then walked up a higher soil slope and looked around again. This time, Luo Shiyin finally found something that could solve the food problem of the team members, and he saw a large group of elk coming from the bank of the small river in front of him, and the deer herd was coming from the lower reaches of the small river in front of him, led by the head deer.

"Shi Lang, take out your rope and lend me it?" Luo Shiyin walked down the high slope and said to Shi Lang.

Shi Lang's rucksack contained ropes for climbing.

"My lord, what's the use of borrowing it?" Shi Lang untied his backpack and took out the rope, and asked casually.

"Use it to find food for everyone." Luo Shiyin took the rope, tied one end of the rope to a dead tree on the shore, and tied the other end into a fist-sized ring buckle and placed it on the snow.

"Let's go, everyone follow me and hide." Luo Shiyin stood up and motioned for everyone to hide with him behind the high slope where he was standing just now.

Although everyone couldn't figure out what the commander was doing, they still followed the commander up the high slope and lay down in the snow.

"My lord, I'm almost faint from hunger, and let me lie down in this ice and snow." Shi Tianji, who was lying on the high slope, couldn't figure out where the conductor was singing, and he began to complain.

"Shhhh Luo Shiyin motioned for everyone not to make a sound, and at the same time comforted Shi Tianji in a low voice.

A herd of elk braved the snow to come this way. The squad members finally understood the purpose of the command to set up the buckle.

Close, close. Everyone held their breath and exhaled. Finally, a well-proportioned doe was caught in a rope noose, and she tried to break free from the rope that held one of her hind legs, but the more she broke free, the tighter the noose on her legs became, and she had to struggle desperately in place. There was a commotion from the deer, and the elk scattered in panic from the place where they had set up a trap under the high slope.

"Chong, there's venison to eat!" Shi Tianji was the first to get up from the snow, jumping happily and running towards the covered elk.

The others also stood up and ran towards the elk.

When the covered elk saw someone running towards him, he immediately rushed to the east, and at last he broke free from the noose, but at the cost of breaking the bone of his lased hind leg at the knee joint, leaving only the fur to be connected. The elk endured the pain, limped and dragged a broken leg and fled to the hillside to the north. Stains of blood were left on the snow.

Shi Lang hurriedly untied the rope and followed the other team members in hot pursuit after the elk.

Everyone followed the trail of blood up a hill. Eventually, the blood disappeared on the back wall of a small courtyard. By this time it was completely dark.

"It looks like the elk jumped into the yard." Shi Tianji pointed to the blood stains on the wall and said to everyone.

"Let's go, go to the front door of the courtyard and have a look." Luo Shiyin urged.

Everyone walked along the fence on the west side of the courtyard to the gate of the courtyard located on the south side.

"Knock knock!" Shi Tianji impatiently stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

With the sound of the door opening, an elderly nun dressed in monk's robes stepped out of the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to do when you visit our temple on a snowy night?" The old nun clasped his hands together and looked peaceful.

It was only at this time that everyone suddenly understood that the small courtyard in front of them was a nunnery, and they saw the three big characters "Yuanshuan" written on the lintel.

"We grabbed an injured elk and let it run. We chased it here and found it fleeing inside. We're going to go in and catch it and eat its flesh. We've been hungry all day. Shi Tianji hurriedly went in to catch the deer, so he said anxiously.

"Amitabha, why should a few donors be hard pressed by a small elk!" Old Ni looked sad.

"But let's ......" Shi Tianji was about to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Shiyin's opening, "Master, we are passing through here, and we encounter heavy snow, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. At this time, it is getting late, and I don't know if I can borrow your nunnery to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning. ”

"A few donors, please come in." Lao Ni glanced at the people in front of him, and saw that there were two women accompanying him, so he motioned for the team to enter the door.

As soon as the team entered, they found the wounded elk, which was lying quietly on the ground of the house on the west side of the courtyard, slowly chewing on the grass handed by the two young nuns, its wounded leg had been bandaged. Through the light in the room, you can clearly see the red blood stains on the bandaging of the elk's injured leg.

"Dear benefactors, everything in the world has spirituality, and this elk, for example, our simple rescue for its wounded leg immediately dispelled its hostility towards people. You see it's so peaceful and lovely. I don't know how many donors feel after watching this scene? Old Ni stopped outside the door of the Westinghouse, pointed to the elk grazing inside, and asked the team members beside him.

"Master, we also know that Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings, so we chased and killed it out of helplessness." Luo Shiyin looked at the old nun's gaze with a guilty face.

"Have you ever thought about it, in this barren mountain and wilderness, the snow is raging, if it weren't for it leading you to this original library, even if you eat this elk, although you can fill your stomach, you can't escape the fate of freezing to death in the barren mountains and snow.

"Whenever sentient beings encounter tribulations, the compassionate Avalokiteshvara goes to the incarnation to help. For the donors who are trapped in the barren mountains and snow, isn't this elk the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva? The old nun was kind and gave a lecture to the team members.

"Master, what you just said is like an enlightenment, and it has inspired the stone seal." Luo Shiyin This is the first time since entering the dynasty to call himself a stone seal, Lao Ni's words made his heart produce a cool and comfortable feeling, he couldn't help but fold his hands, respectfully saluted Lao Nun.

"The donor was able to understand the teachings of Buddhism, which made the old nun deeply gratified. Everybody, please come with me. As he spoke, the old nun led them to the dining hall on the east side.

"A few donors, please sit down, and I will ask them to bring some food to a few of them." After the old nun finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

The hall is small in size, and there are several simple wooden tables and stools in it, which are used by the nuns in the nunnery to eat. On the only wooden pillar in the dining hall, a pair of couplets are engraved: "How many people in the world know that rice is boiled with rice?" Please look at the Buddha on the seat, but you can only recognize Tian Zixin."

The team members sat down.

After a while, three young nuns brought food to everyone and placed it in front of each of the team members.

Although it is a coarse and light meal, everyone who has been hungry for a day still eats with relish.

When the team members were eating, the old nun had already asked the nuns in the nunnery to make a room for the men.

After the meal, Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang and others went to the cleaned room to rest under the guidance of Lao Nun. Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing were arranged to sleep in the same room with the nuns in the nunnery.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, when the team members were preparing to have breakfast, the shadow of Zhuqing was gone.

Li Ruzhu hurriedly went to find the old nun in the nunnery.

In the chanting room of the west side hall, Li Ruzhu found the figure of Zhuqing. At this time, Zhuqing was already wearing monk's robes, kneeling on his legs, and his hair had just been shaved by the old nun in the nunnery.

"Zhuqing, don't!" Li Ruzhu shouted and was about to rush into the prayer room, but was stopped by two nuns standing at the door. He had to stand in place, watching the bamboo green in the room successfully complete the shaving ceremony.

After a while, the old nun walked out the door.

"Mage, why did you shave her?" Li Ruzhu asked puzzled.

"Miaochen came to me last night and told me about her previous suffering, and insisted on cutting her hair to become a nun. It seems that she has a relationship with the Buddha. Old Ni said. Miaochen is the name that Lao Ni just gave to Zhuqing.

"Yes...... Mage, he's going to have to talk to me about it! Li Ruzhu still wants to save all this.

"Donor, you are what Miaochen said about her bead brother. Last night, he told me about the past of the two of you, too. She said that her heart had completely died from the moment she was humiliated by the Japanese soldiers for the first time. She wanted to completely forget about the past. Lao Ni said indifferently.

"So what should I do?" Li Ruzhu was a little anxious.

"Donor, everything starts and dies from fate. Miaochen's ability to cut off all the troubles of the past and devote herself to cultivation shows that she has made up her mind to destroy all the dust in the past. Why should the benefactor disturb her purity for the sake of his own obsession? The old nun stood still, as serene as an old monk in his meditation.

"Mage, isn't there room for manoeuvre?" Li Ruzhu felt that the matter was irreparable, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Amitabha, Miaochen has escaped into Buddhism, and the natural dust is gone." The old nun folded his hands and lowered his eyes.

"Can I take one last look at her?" Li Ruzhu said to Lao Ni in an almost pleading tone.

Lao Ni didn't speak, just moved his body to the side to make way for Li Ruzhu.

Li Ruzhu stabilized her mood and walked to the door of the chanting room.

In the midst of chanting, Li Ruzhu saw Zhu Qing with his hands folded and reverently kneeling in a group of nuns.

Although Zhu Qing's eyes were slightly closed, she seemed to sense the lost and helpless eyes of Li Ruzhu standing at the door, her shoulders couldn't help but shake slightly, and two lines of tears slowly dripped down the corners of her eyes.

Standing on the snow in front of the door where the snowflakes fell, Li Ruzhu's heart was like a knife, Zhuqing's tragic experience was not unrelated to himself, in a sense, it was his long-term non-return after leaving, which caused Zhuqing's subsequent series of painful experiences, and now all this is irreparable, it will remain in his heart forever, and become a pain that can never be erased from his heart.

The heavy snowfall overnight submerged the entire Harashoan in a thick layer of snow, and the snow in the yard was knee-high.

After breakfast, Luo Shiyin not only thanked and said goodbye to the old nun in the nunnery, but also asked her how to get out of the snow-covered Xiaobai Mountain Range as soon as possible, he knew very well that it was very dangerous to travel in this vast snowy wilderness without being familiar with the road conditions.

"Walking in this vast snow-capped mountain is not only difficult, but also dangerous, so donors may wish to stay in this original library for a longer time, and it will be safer to walk after the snow melts in the mountain." After listening to Luo Shiyin's inquiry, Lao Ni suggested.

"I am grateful for the warm hospitality of the Venerable Master last night, how can I linger in the nunnery and disturb each other. Besides, if we have something urgent, we must get up immediately, and I hope that the master will give me some advice. Luo Shiyin said to the old nun.

"In that case, I can't force me to stay. If you want to get out of this small white mountain range in this vast snowy field, you need a guide to ensure safety. Old Ni said.

"Mage, please." Luo Shiyin listened attentively.

"Several donors descended from here, all the way south, and when it was dark, they could reach a valley called Heifengkou, and there was a village in the valley called Yanpingli, and there was a hunter in the village named Tiehutou, which everyone called the living map. If you ask this person to be your guide, you can get out of the snowy mountains safely. It's just that...... It is said that this iron kettle head is cunning by nature, and I don't know if he is willing to help. ”

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me, I'll be on my way here." After listening to Lao Ni's introduction, Luo Shiyin opened his mouth to thank him.

"Thank you, Mage, for your hospitality!" Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and others also thanked Lao Ni and said goodbye.
