Chapter 4 Acquaintance (2)

For several days, Daohua and others did not appear again. Dao Yan carried water and food to the Morris father and daughter on time every day.

Fearing that Morris would reward him again, Dao Yan put down the new food box as soon as possible every time, took away the old food box, and then left quickly without staying for a moment.

Since the temple prepared high-quality fasting meals for Morris' father and daughter, and the quantity was sufficient, Morris's father and daughter often had a lot left, so Dao Yan chose some to eat with 'Tai Chi', feeling that it was a blessing in disguise.

On this day, after delivering dinner to the Morris father and daughter, Dao Yan walked to the back door of the temple with an empty food box. Suddenly, two figures burst out from behind the old locust tree.

Dao Yan was startled and slipped and fell to the ground, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Dao Yan and Dao Hong, and the two grabbed Dao Yan without saying anything, and dragged him to the firewood room in the temple.

As soon as he entered the firewood room, the pictures of Da Daohua and others bullying themselves here countless times kept pouring out of Daoyan's mind.

But this time it was different, after Dao Hua saw Dao Yan and Dao Hong pulling Dao Yan in, he seemed to be very angry, first yelling at them with an angry face, and then actually slapped each of them and drove them out.

Dao Yan didn't understand why this senior brother, who always bullied him on weekdays, was so partial to himself today, so he stared blankly at everything that happened in front of him.

Daohua smiled and pulled Dao Yan to his side, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Dao Yan hurriedly raised his arm to parry, Dao Hua saw his move, laughed, and continued to stretch out his hand, but for Dao Yan to tidy up the neckline that was pulled open on his monk's robe, and helped him dust off the dirt on his body.

At this time, Dao Yan and Dao Hong, who had just been driven away by Daohua, pushed the door back, each with two porcelain bowls in their hands, walked to the wooden table in the firewood room and put them down, and brought two more stools.

Dao Hua then pulled Dao Yan to sit on a bench, and Dao Yan looked at the four porcelain bowls on the table, a bowl of 'agate rolls', a bowl of 'Ruyi', a bowl of 'Eight Treasure Rice', and a bowl of 'Jade Pearl Soup' were all full.

If it had been a different place, even though he was a monk, he would have swallowed a lot of saliva.

But in recent days, because of the light of Morris's father and daughter, I have eaten a lot of these things. Moreover, Daohua had teased himself by putting anesthetics into his own meal before, so Dao Yan looked up at Daohua but didn't want to eat it at all.

Seeing that Dao Yan didn't eat, Daohua seemed to remember the past, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate the food in each bowl.

After eating, he signaled that there was no problem with the food in Daoyan's bowl, Daoyan shook his head, indicating that he was not hungry, and stood up and wanted to say goodbye.

Daohua was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to hold Dao Yan, and then smiled and asked Dao Yan to sit down, picked up a pen from the table, and wrote on the paper: Senior brother, I have something urgent, please borrow some money from me.

Dao Yan looked at it and took a pen and wrote: Senior brother, I have no money. Daohua continued to write: Master Mo rewarded you with a lot of silver taels, you don't go out of the temple, you don't know the people's suffering, a few of us borrowed money to help the poor people, you are a monk, it is useless to keep that lot of silver, it is better to lend us to give to the people.

Dao Yan continued: The silver tael rewarded by Lord Mo has been lost, and he has not been rewarded again. After writing, he stood up and was about to leave, Daohua grabbed Dao Yan's arm fiercely, with a fierce face, and wrote: Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink.

Dao Yan shook his head and said no, Dao Hua split his face is to knock Dao Yan to the ground with one palm, Dao Yan and Dao Hong erected Dao Yan from behind, the corners of Dao Yan's mouth were bleeding, and before he was about to fall into a coma, he saw Dao Hua take the paper and shake it in front of his eyes, and there was a bright big word written on it: steal.

In the dead of night, Dao Yan slowly got up from the ground, spit out blood, and then walked out of the firewood room, and returned to the monk's house to find that the door had been plugged in from the inside, and an inexplicable grief and indignation made him almost faint again, so Dao Yan walked to the mountain in a daze.

'Tai Chi' saw clearly that the person who came was Dao Yan and quickly ran out of the dense forest. Dao Yan knelt on the ground and held 'Tai Chi' in his arms, 'Tai Chi' saw that Dao Yan's nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the monk's robe was full of footprints and dust, so he struggled to get out of his arms.

The next morning, Dao Yan delivered food to Morris's father and daughter as usual, and it was still the girl in white who opened the door.

When Dao Yan came back with water, he found a delicate medicine bottle on the side of the water tank, and Dao Yan did not touch the medicine bottle until the water tank was full.

In the evening, when Dao Yan came to deliver the meal again, it was still the girl in white who opened the door, but she had already brought the old food box in her hand, and the girl in white took the new food box in Dao Yan's hand and handed the old food box in her hand.

Dao Yan didn't know what it meant, the girl in white had closed the tower door, so Dao Yan carried the food box to the 'Phoenix Well', and unfolded the note as she walked.

"The wound medicine is in the food box, and it is applied externally once a day." Dao Yan opened the food box and found that it was the medicine bottle next to the water tank.

Dao Yan opened the medicine bottle and sniffed it, the leisurely fragrance of grass came to his nose, and he picked out some of them and applied them to the wound, feeling extremely cool and comfortable, and a trace of sweetness slowly surged from the bottom of his heart.

Knocking lightly on the door of the tower, Dao Yan's chest was like a deer colliding, reaching out and touching his sleeve pocket, he carefully picked the fragrant leaves that he picked all night last night into a bag.

When the door opened, it was the girl in red who appeared, Dao Yan was stunned, looking a little flustered, and hurriedly hid the bag of fragrant leaves behind him.

The girl in red smiled and motioned for Dao Yan to come in, her smile as captivating as a blooming mandala flower.

Although he couldn't hear the sound of the piano, he saw the green smoke rising from the incense burner on the desk, and it seemed to be dancing with the sound of the piano.

Just when Dao Yan was fascinated by it, he suddenly felt that the bay leaf bag in his hand was taken away. Dao Yan looked back and saw that the girl in red was holding the bag of fragrant leaves and looking at him with a smile, Dao Yan hurriedly put down the food box, and at this time, the girl in white also got up and walked over to the two of them and said something to the girl in red with a slightly serious expression.

The girl in red still had a smile on her face, jumped up and down to the girl in white, stuffed the bag of fragrant leaves into her hand, turned around, and asked in sign language, Who is this bag of fragrant leaves for the two of them?

Dao Yan's shy gaze slowly moved to the girl in white, he looked at her so closely for the first time, and was surprised to find that she was so beautiful.

Dao Yan hurriedly lowered his head, made a gesture, picked up the old food box and ran out of the tower quickly.
