"Thank you, auntie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the hands of the middle-aged woman, Yaozu, who took the egg, sat on the stone steps in the stele forest with the middle-aged woman. Three years seem to have passed in a flash, but now he and the middle-aged woman are also there, and they have known each other for three years unconsciously.
In the past three years, the middle-aged woman and this stele forest have become an indispensable part of Yaozu in the temple. Even sometimes he had to go to the Ape Cry Stream. He will also be alone when he returns, taking advantage of the twilight before it gets dark, to stay alone in this stele forest that has been familiar to him for three years.
For this aunt who is very good to him and will always bring him chickens to eat. Her identity... Although Yaozu still seemed to understand a little, he also noticed a difference from the senior brother he had asked, and from the penitent uncle who taught him the scriptures in the house.
Especially when Senior Brother Nian Lai, when he heard him ask about the word Dharma servant, the expression on his face, with a bit of greed, couldn't help but make him feel disgusted. It was because after he asked Senior Brother Nianlai, he didn't ask Senior Brother Nianlai again.
And the second person he asked about the word "legal servant", the penitent uncle in the house... But after hearing the word lawmaid, his face suddenly became cold and terrifying. It was as if it touched him, and he was very reluctant to mention it. On that day, I also asked him about the Dharma servant... Uncle Confess didn't say a word all day. Therefore, after asking Uncle Penitent about this matter on that day, he never mentioned it to him again.
However, it was because of the thought of Senior Brother and Uncle Regret that he was asked about his reaction to this matter. Since then, he has also dismissed the idea of asking others again. Although Uncle Busu in the house, he has a very good relationship with the three senior brothers and himself. But there was Senior Brother Nian in front of him, and he was in front of Uncle Liezi, and he was afraid that when he asked Uncle Busu and the three senior brothers, something else would happen. So he never asked anyone about this servant.
And for him, no matter the identity of his aunt, whether she is good or bad in this temple, she can't change that she is his aunt. And the reason why I am increasingly curious about my aunt's identity is because I want to relieve my aunt more.
He didn't just think about it once, when he was secretly separated from his aunt, he followed his aunt and found his aunt's residence in the temple. But for some reason, whenever this thought and the urge to find out came to his mind, an inexplicable fear would hit his heart. Don't dare him do that... He didn't know what he was afraid of. And in the past three years, he has been content with the status quo, and the place where he meets his aunt is still this quiet and uninhabited stele forest in the back mountain.
For him, this stele forest, which has never been disturbed by outsiders, is another home for him and his aunt in the temple. He didn't know what his aunt thought, whether it would be considered home. But for him: . This is his home... A home with an aunt.
"Auntie, you... I haven't been looking good lately..."
Eating the peeled egg in his hand, he looked at the middle-aged woman who was also looking at him. Yaozu, who has long been accustomed to being watched and eaten by middle-aged women, said to the middle-aged woman with some concern.
But my aunt's face has not been very good for a while. Although my aunt's face is usually haggard, she is also haggard and white. And at the moment, my aunt's face, which is often pale and haggard, seems to be more pale and haggard than usual... A little deeper. He couldn't help but worry about his aunt's body.
In the past, he was not, once or twice noticing his aunt's face, or elsewhere on her body. Bruises, large or small... Even if the aunt tries her best to hide it, she will sometimes be discovered by him.
Whenever he found that his aunt had more or less bruises on her body, he could only pretend that he couldn't see it. He knew that his aunt's cover-up was because he didn't want him to find out. He can only pretend not to know, but every time he sees his aunt who has bruises on his body and is found by him, he will feel an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
And the clothes that my aunt was wearing were still the same old clothes she wore when she first met her. Now this old clothes are a little older. There are also many traces of sewing on the surface of the clothes. But the aunt who loves cleanliness is clean and clean.
"Hehe, nothing. Is chicken delicious? ”
The middle-aged woman smiled and said to Yaozu.
nodded his head Yaozu, and then said to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, listen to what senior brother said... In a few days, the temple will open the menstrual test. My brother asked me to take the test as well. ”
The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, and through Yaozu's words, it really reminded her of something. It seems like... More than 10 years ago, there was a test in the temple. At that time, inside and outside the temple, all those who had monks in the temple, whether they were official disciples or registered disciples, participated in the scripture test. And at that time, she didn't miss out... In the mouth, the former monk heard something about the test at that time.
It was because of that test that a unknown monk became famous in one fell swoop. Not to mention standing out from the test, it was appreciated by the master of the temple. The former monk had not been seen in front of her. The man, it seems, is called... What a hoof.
"That's a good thing! Just listen to what your brother says, try it. Perhaps, it was really appreciated by the temple, and the temple master may not be appreciated! When the time comes, my aunt will be stained with you. ”
The middle-aged woman smiled half-jokingly at Yaozu.
"Hmmm! I'll go! It's just that... This test was not held by the temple. Yes, it's from the Twelve Temples, Master Puyun.... He prescribes a test..."
Yaozu, who replied to the middle-aged woman's words, immediately told her that this test was not a matter of the temple.
"Is that him? ...”
The middle-aged woman was surprised after listening to Yaozu and was a little hesitant. Originally, she knew something about the name of this transcendent master in the Twelve Temples of Jinhong. Then from Yaozu's mouth, he learned the details of his encounters in the first two, "home".
Thinking that at this time, Yaozu's heart is more or less, because this person who opened the scripture test is the master of Puyun... couldn't help but remind him of his second uncle coming with his master. After all, this Master Puyun has an inseparable connection with the incident that made Yaozu lose and the second uncle and the master. Presumably, Yaozu is also because of this, in his heart...
"Yes, that's all in the past. Listen to my aunt's words, don't think about it anymore. ”
The middle-aged woman's cool palm gently patted Yaozu's small hand and comforted. Although she wanted to say something else to comfort her, she didn't know where to start. I can only say whatever I want.
"Hehe, your senior brother... At this time, afraid that some of them will be busy? ”
The topic changed as soon as the middle-aged woman suddenly asked Yaozu about her senior brother's thoughts. But I also want Yaozu to stop thinking about it deliberately, and let things go naturally if you don't want to think about it.
"Hmmm! Senior brother is diligent now! I've never seen my brother so diligent! Since last night the senior brother came back with a number of scriptures borrowed from the scripture pavilion. Senior brother has never been idle, and has been staring at the scriptures. When I woke up this morning, I always called my brother to get up. But when I got up today, my brother was already reading the scriptures at the bedside. When I went out after eating, my brother was still watching! ”
As soon as Yaozu heard the middle-aged woman mention the senior brother, he told the middle-aged woman about the abnormal behavior of the senior brother last night and today.
The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "He, this is also diligent." However, no matter how diligent he is, how many scriptures can he read in these few days? I'm afraid I can't even memorize a scripture. ”
Through Yaozu often mentioned to her about the thoughts, although I haven't seen it once in the past three years, this senior brother of Yaozu. But from Yaozu's continuous descriptions in the past three years, she gradually sketched a real Yaozu brother from her imagination.
For the promoter who bullied Yaozu at the beginning, let him come to the stele forest alone to wipe the long lamp, and happened to meet her by chance. She was really grateful to Yaozu's senior brother in her heart. After all, if it weren't for the day Nian who bullied Yaozu, let him come to this stele forest to wipe the long lamp... I wouldn't know Yaozu myself. It is precisely because of knowing Yaozu that she will become a frequent visitor in this stele forest.
As she talked about Senior Brother Yaozu, the middle-aged woman remembered something again, and asked Yaozu with a smile: "Hehe, your senior brother, often... Do you put down the Dharma card spiritual position and worship Master Feng Wat? ”
"Hmmm! Not long ago... Senior brother repented to Master Feng Wat again. ”
Yaozu replied after listening to the middle-aged woman's question. But I feel a little in my heart that I can't help but think of my senior brother. After all, I deceived Senior Brother Nianlai at the beginning, where is there any manifestation of Master Feng Wat? It's just an excuse to cover up the aunt helping him and wiping the long lamp in the stele forest.
But somehow, since then, I really believe in the apparition of Master Feng Wat. Whenever you encounter some trouble, you will think of the appearance of Master Feng Wat. There was also one after another, uninterrupted worship of Master Feng Wat.
And whenever the senior brother comes to worship Master Feng Wat, the senior brother will personally open the stove and cook. This has gradually become an unwritten rule and habit of reciting Senior Brother and always worshiping Master Feng Wat.
Seeing that the senior brother's belief was getting deeper and deeper, Yaozu also knew the truth of this matter, so he could only hide it in his heart and not say it. But every time he saw Senior Brother Nianlai, he was a little upset about his actions of respecting Master Feng Wat.
The middle-aged woman seemed to see what she was thinking at this time. So he reached out again and patted Yaozu's little hand lightly and said, "Don't think too much." Your senior brother, too, is scaring yourself. It's been so long, and he's still believing it. It's because of his own weak heart that he believes so. Then he smiled again: "You, it's better to memorize the scriptures that Uncle Regret asked you to memorize." But don't go back, it's bad if you can't memorize it. ”
"Hmm!"
Yao Zu responded to the words cautiously, took out a shabby scripture book from his bosom and read it. And the middle-aged woman still smiled at the corners of her lips, looking at Yaozu who was reading and memorizing the scriptures carefully, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
