Chapter Ninety-Four: I'm leaving
The abbot Lao Nun searched every bronze mirror in the temple, but in fact, the owner of the mirror had no nostalgia for it. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info nuns usually share the same bed in pairs, and those moaning or frolicking on the night of the meditation room become the only pleasure of life in Ganye Temple.
There was once a nun named Mingjing who wanted to get into Mei Niang's quilt and was kicked down by Mei Niang. Mei Niang pushed the spring-hearted nun out of the door, and she said:
"I hate your tricks, you can't do it."
Clear-eyed and sneering:
"You think you're clean, you're clean and you'll go to the heavenly womb, aren't you still kicked into the nunnery after a few years of charming?"
Mei Niang was angry, she was talking in her mouth, and she lowered her head and hit Mingjing's face:
"If the Son of Heaven doesn't want me, I can't take your turn to spoil it!"
Mei Niang slammed Mingjing against the door frame, still angry, and bit her shoulder hard.
The screams of Ming Jing alarmed the whole temple, and many nuns opened the windows to look this way, and they saw Mei Niang's face radiating a cold air of grief and indignation in the moonlight, and the deadbolt in her hand seemed to be waiting for all the violations.
"Martial artists are going crazy". The ladies of the old palace whispered.
Based on their understanding of martial artists, they believe that arrogant and conceited palace people are the most likely to go crazy, and martial artists should be an example.
Since then, no one dares to climb on Mei Niang's meditation bed, but no one has spoken to Mei Niang anymore, and the nuns in the Ganye Temple have very tacitly isolated Mei Niang.
"Mingkong, you go to the backyard to chop firewood, and finish chopping those dry firewood today, otherwise you won't have to eat tonight."
Since she came to this Ganye Temple, she has this understanding of this Dharma name, and the abbot Lao Nun gave an order while glancing at Mei Niang with disgust.
Obviously, the presiding nun was also disgusted with her, just like the other nuns.
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she knew that the presiding nun was rectifying her again, and splitting wood was the hardest and most tiring work in this Ganye Temple, especially for women who had never done physical work in the palace, but she didn't dare not do it.
It is not a simple matter to pick up a few pounds of axe, and after a while, Wu Meiniang's arms were shocked by the axe handle, and there was a blister on her hand, and she began to be a little unable to hold the axe.
But now only an hour has passed, looking at the mountain-like pyre, Mei Niang's heart is stunned.
When will it be finished?
Why is the presiding heart of the Buddha's constant companion so vicious? Mei Niang couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and worked with her head bored.
At sunset, the afterglow of the sun turned the entire temple with a layer of gold, and the original mountain-like firewood pile has been reduced by more than half.
Although she couldn't finish it all, the temple still sent her something to eat, after all, these women were the concubines and palace maids of the emperor, in case the nun died in the temple, the abbot Lao Nun would not be able to explain to the palace.
Although Lao Ni is evil, she has also been a host for more than ten years, and she still has this awareness.
Wu Meiniang was so hungry that she didn't have time to wipe off the sweat and tears on her pretty face, and ate everything in one go, she found herself able to eat so much for the first time.
The moon had risen, and the moonlight was like water sprinkled all over the monastery, and the lights had been extinguished in several rooms, and the sound of Mingjing playing and wheezing with a nun could be heard in one room, and in the others, there was a slight snoring of a nun.
In the middle of the night, when all the firewood was finally chopped, Mei Niang let out a sigh of relief and threw the axe on the firewood stack that was taller than her, and she felt that her arms no longer belonged to her.
Back in the room and looking at the blood blisters on her hands, she remembered the promise that Li Zhi had promised her, and she believed that everything would be fine.
The next day, Wu Meiniang's life was not much better, although she was no longer chopping wood, but she had to wash the clothes for the nuns of the entire Ganye Temple.
This is simply torture for Wu Meiniang, who can't even lift her arms.
Mei Niang gritted her teeth, and wheeled the wooden pestle to beat her clothes repeatedly and mechanically, as if the clothes were her enemies in her previous life.
The presiding lady saw in her eyes that there was a flame of hatred about to burst out.
Lao Ni was shocked, and the wooden fish in his hand almost fell to the ground, and since then, Lao Ni has never arranged too heavy work for her.
After three months, Mei Niang was able to adapt to life here, but only she knew the pain.
When she is free, Wu Meiniang always thinks of Li Zhi, like smoke The past comes to mind, Mei Niang suddenly remembers her age, thinks of inside and outside the palace walls, year after year, she is already a twenty-five-year-old twilight beauty.
"Mingkong, why are you not going to work here?"
Mingkong, Mingkong, Mei Niang hates this name very much, this is not to make her give up all the past, but she can't do it, she still feels that Mei Niang is more suitable for herself.
Wu Meiniang knew that she had made a mistake again this time, so she hurriedly got up and said, "I'm sorry senior sister, I'll go to work." ”
This Mingjing entered the Ganye Temple earlier than Wu Meiniang, so Wu Meiniang called her senior sister.
Every time she saw Wu Meiniang being lazy, Mingjing would not hesitate to stand up and accuse her.
"Mingkong, I know that you are a talented person, and I am just a palace maid, but don't forget, this is Ganye Temple, not a palace, and there are not so many servants serving you masters, so please do more yourself."
Mingjing said with words, but he couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes.
Looking at Mingjing, who hated herself, Wu Meiniang was a little helpless, she knew that a woman's jealousy was the strongest, so she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and left quickly. When Wu Meiniang was about to leave, Mingxin continued:
"The host said, you have performed well for a while, and after you finish the work at hand, you can rest for half a day in the afternoon."
"Hmm"
Wu Meiniang looked at Mingjing with some puzzlement, which made her a little flattered, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
Wu Meiniang has been in the palace for ten years, she has seen all kinds of people, although she feels that something is wrong, but she still hides her inner thoughts.
Wu Meiniang guessed correctly, there was indeed a problem in this matter, the host never let her rest at all, these were purely the stumbling blocks of the Ming Jing Envoy.
But fortunately, Wu Meiniang did not go to rest, but helped a person who came out of the palace with him to work, when Mingjing brought Shi Tai to catch the lazy, Wu Meiniang was chopping firewood with her partner.
"Mingkong, you're done with your work?"
The abbot Lao Ni was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Mingkong, who didn't look like a person who could do coolies, had actually become the best at this time, and often helped others to do things, among them, her popularity was the best.
"Master, Zi'er and I finished my work together in the morning, so I came over in the afternoon to help Zi'er chop firewood together, so it should be faster."
Wu Meiniang explained, she glanced at Ming Jing standing aside from time to time.
Seeing Mingjing standing there eager to eat herself, Wu Meiniang felt funny, and said in her heart: "This little girl is still too tender." ”
After listening to Wu Meiniang's explanation, the abbot Lao Nun didn't ask any more, but simply said:
"Then you two should work slowly, and don't delay things."
Wu Meiniang has been in Ganye Temple for more than a year, and at this time she feels that she has been able to adapt to life here, even if she has more labor, she can bear it. But she just isn't reconciled, she still has a mother and a sister waiting for her to take care of.
I'm going to get out of here someday!
She is still confident in herself.
