Chapter 20 Taboos
"Teacher, senior brother? You, you this, this, what, what's wrong? ”
Yaozu, who was a little at a loss, looked at a butt sitting on the ground, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at his senior brother and said.
"You! You! You! ”
Nianlai's eyes were still wide, and he looked at Yaozu in a daze. After saying your word three times in a row, the panicked look gradually eased. But through the fright just now, I broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, when he turned his head and looked at the junior brother who was pulling his clothes, what he saw in a trance was not his junior brother... Rather, it's an old man about sixty years old! Although he didn't see the old man's appearance clearly, he didn't know who that person was for some reason!
Therefore, he couldn't help but make his brain "buzz", and suddenly he felt that the hairs all over his body stood upside down! A person's name suddenly appeared in his mind... That's the master of the ancestral temple! If it weren't for the fact that he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and then Yaozu called him a few times. I'm afraid I'm still in a state of panic... I was almost scared to pee my pants!
"Teacher, senior brother... You, you're not, are you okay? ”
Yao saw that Senior Brother Nian was still sitting on the ground, and after saying "you" to himself three times, he didn't say anything more. Then he asked the senior brother again.
"Uh... No, it's fine! All right! Belch.. Hehe~ Just, I didn't pay attention just now. just, I didn't stand firm and fell to the ground~ Hehe, senior brother is fine! It's all right."
As he spoke, he immediately stood up. But then he turned his head to look at the spiritual position of the Dharma card placed on the table. As a result, he put his hands together again, and the Dharma card spiritual position of the master of the ancestral temple Zheng Feng Wat enshrined on the table, kept chanting in his heart... Lord, Guru begs forgiveness! Guru begs forgiveness! After the disciple Sun Nian comes, he must repent and reform himself! Repent and repent! Be sure to be kind to your junior and younger brothers! Please forgive me! Amitabha! Amitabha!
looked at the senior brother who was chattering again, facing the small wooden plaque on the table, and kept bending and chattering. Yaozu is really strange in his heart! I don't know why the senior brother is like this, and he keeps bowing to the small wooden cards on the table. Although he has not been here for a long time, he has never seen his senior brother like this in the time he has been with him.
And... What puzzled him even more. A plate of good dishes, hot dishes. They were also placed on a table covered with red cloth, in front of a small wooden plaque... Could it be that the senior brother let this little wooden brand eat it? But, but that little wooden card is not a living thing? How could you possibly eat the dishes on the table?
Although Yaozu didn't know what happened to Senior Brother today. But he, as a junior brother, only has the share of watching. I could only stand silently beside the chattering senior brother, looking at all this in front of me with a puzzled expression.
It took a long time to bow to the small wooden plaque on the table. Tired and sweaty, he let out a sigh of relief, and wiped his sweaty forehead with his hand as if he was relieved.
"Alright, alright! It's all right! It's all right! Walk! Let's go eat! Go eat! ”
Nian Lai finally faced the Dharma card spiritual position of Master Zhengfeng Wat of the Ancestral Temple, and finished repenting in his heart. Only then did he say to the person who was still standing beside him, with a puzzled expression. He didn't want to tell himself, the little junior brother who had been bullied by him since he came to the monastery to be under his control, why he did this.
Looking at the appearance of this little junior brother, you can see that everything he is doing now must have no idea at all. It also reassured him, this... Naturally, it's good to know it yourself! Even if one more person knows, in this temple it is equivalent to holding his own handle in the hands of others!
Although he is only a cleansing monk in a small monastery. That is, every day, according to the work ordered by the master, wipe this and sweep that. But he also entered this temple since he was a child, and when he first entered the temple, he didn't eat much and took his senior brother angry. For these in the temple, it is very clear that no one can do it. If anyone holds whom's handle in their hands, they may not be lucky one day!
Just like the offering table that I made for Master Zhengfeng Wat of the Ancestral Temple. It can't always be in the house. If someone else comes into the house and looks at it, I don't know what will go wrong.
beckoning Yaozu to eat, he first sat cross-legged on the futon next to the low table. With his bare hands, he grabbed the vegetables on the table, and after grabbing them into his hands. He casually put the vegetable in front of him and put it in an iron bowl containing grain. Then I stirred it with my hands and ate it mixed with grain.
And Yaozu, who was sitting cross-legged at the low table, also ate with his bare hands like Nianlai, the vegetables on the table and the grain in the bowl. The vegetables on the table today, although there is still not much oil and water. But in Yaozu's opinion, it is also delicious! A few kinds of wild vegetables dug up in the mountains, mountain mushrooms and other things, but the rice in the bowl is also sweet. The most important thing is Yaozu's senior brother, who is also a cook. A few wild vegetables and mountain mushrooms are also ingredients he picked in the mountains by himself.
"Yaozu... Today, my brother is in our house, and don't tell anyone about the small wooden table. Got it? ”
Eating the grain and rice mixed with cabbage seeds in the bowl, Nian Lai said lightly to Yaozu intentionally or unintentionally. He was also a close-minded man. Today, I saluted in the house, and only this new little junior brother Yao Zu knew about the spiritual position of Master Feng Wat in the ancestral temple.
Although his junior brother is busy wiping and cleaning all day long under his own orders. It is rare to be able to separate from the temple courtyard, and the monks have too much intersection. But I'm afraid just in case!
Maybe that day, his junior brother would meet a passing monk who was chatting with him. If you talk and talk about seeing him, and I pay tribute to Master Zhengfeng Wat of the Ancestral Temple today, and spread the matter of the Dharma card spiritual position, it will be very bad! It's already a matter of making it clear to my junior brother in advance. After all, the junior brother doesn't understand anything at such a young age, but he listens to himself very much. But whatever he said and commanded, it was done in full obedience.
As long as I tell him, don't let him talk about what he has seen today in front of outsiders. I'm not afraid that he will forget it on his hind feet, and take his advice as a deaf ear, and he is relieved of this!
"Hmmm! I, I know... Teacher, senior brother..."
Yaozu pulled the food in the bowl while nodding and reciting to his senior brother.
Nian Lai said with satisfaction: "Hmm! That's it! That's it! Eat more! There is not enough valley in the stove. ”
"Hehe~ Your senior brother? Did you really set up a small wooden sign on a table covered with red cloth? Also, in front of the small wooden card, put some prepared vegetables? ”
The middle-aged woman who peeled the egg skin in her hand with a chuckle couldn't help but ask Yaozu who was sitting next to her. She didn't want this senior brother to do such a ridiculous thing. I'm afraid it's really because of my hypocrisy and suspicion.
Originally, when she met Yaozu for the first time, it was just to make Yaozu less bullied by his senior brother, and she came up with such an idea for Yaozu. But this senior brother who doesn't want to be full of Yaozu really believes it! No, after Yaozu went back yesterday. His senior brother was still in the house, offering salutes and worshipping the Dharma card spiritual seat.
You don't have to think much to guess the reason why Ling Yaozu is puzzled, and he doesn't know why his senior brother salutes a small wooden sign with a written word. It is written on the small wooden plaque, which must be the Dharma name of the master of the ancestral temple of Jinlin Hongti Temple.
This senior brother of Yaozu really took what he taught Yaozu and what Master Feng Wat said completely seriously. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done such a ridiculous thing... But this is also a good thing, which shows that Yaozu's senior brother will definitely not be embarrassed by Yaozu in the future.
Thinking of Yaozu's senior brother, he looked pious and repentant in front of the spiritual seat of Master Feng Wat's Dharma card with a frightened face. The middle-aged woman sitting next to Yaozu couldn't help laughing even more.
"Give! Eat! ”
The middle-aged woman who peeled the egg in her hand smiled faintly when she handed the egg in her hand to Yaozu.
"Hmm..."
looked at the middle-aged woman who still looked tired, and her long hair that was a little messy on her head. Yaozu's heart couldn't help but feel some strange feelings. But it was for his aunt, whom he met in the monastery, who was a little unaware of it. But he doesn't know what he's worried about... It's just that every time he sees his aunt's tired face, he can't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"Auntie, aunt..."
"Huh? What the? ”
"I, I'll talk to, tell you, talk about senior brother, senior brother. You, you, you can, don't, don't, don't tell others. Teacher, senior brother yesterday, yesterday, but I told me. No, don't let me, I, I will, will last night, thing. Tell goodbye, someone else's..."
Yaozu took the peeled egg from the middle-aged woman's hand and said to the middle-aged woman. Not long after meeting his aunt at noon today, he told his aunt about the strange things that happened to his senior brother during dinner last night. Seeing that my aunt heard what she said about her senior brother, she couldn't stop laughing. I can guess what my aunt must know. Otherwise, my aunt wouldn't be laughing all the time.
But then he was a little entangled in his heart... After all, I promised my senior brother that I wouldn't tell anyone what I saw last night. But for some reason, when he saw his aunt who came with an egg, he told her about it.
Then he thought that something was wrong, so he told his aunt again. But I'm afraid that my aunt will tell others about this again...
"Hehe~ Auntie knows, this matter~ Auntie won't tell anyone! Eat it! ”
The middle-aged woman smiled and said to Yaozu. But he only felt that Yao was enough to tell her about his senior brother and not letting him tell others. Indescribable joy and joy in my heart! In my heart, I only feel that I am a good man, and everything I do is worth it.
Because, she is Yaozu's aunt.
