This morning class lasts until 6 a.m. Then it's time for the meal.

I changed the sea green I was wearing, and then went to the cafeteria to eat. But when I arrived at the door, there was a special management person who didn't let me in, saying that the masters of Haiqing could only enter after fasting. I wanted to tell her that I had come here with my clothes on and after chanting. But when the words came to my mouth and I swallowed again, I didn't want to spend so much time with him, didn't I just wait a while? What does it matter? Besides, waiting a little longer won't starve people to death.

Finally waited, let me in.

I sat down, following the example of the others, closed my eyes and folded my hands, and recited the Amitabha Buddha name ten times. Only then do you start eating. This kind of dining scene is not like in your own home, where everyone holds their own chopsticks in a large communal basin and keeps using chopsticks to pick up vegetables. After finishing the dish, put the chopsticks in his mouth and smack.

To put it mildly, in the words of the old man of the Void Mage, it is full of spit stars, which is very unhygienic. This is not the case here, and everyone is holding a common chopstick or spoon and putting some vegetables in their rice bowls.

And, in addition, in the process of dining, no one gossiped. The order is kept very quiet, stupid, whoever finishes eating first will quietly pour a pot of water from the table into his bowl, pour some of it, shake it, and then drink it himself.

All of us finished eating, and it was there, about seven o'clock.

After a little rest, all the people who came here to volunteer. I started to change my clothes.

Why change clothes? Because I'm about to start carrying sand. All the sand in this East Tianmu Mountain is carried by volunteers step by step, there is no cable car or anything, in addition, all the Buddhist temples are also built by volunteers with heart, and there is no so-called person who builds a house.

Because I was new here, I didn't know about changing clothes, so I put on a relatively small amount of clothes, and went down on the bamboo building on my back.

Like all the others, I put down the bamboo building at the place where the sand was piled up, and someone put the sand with an iron shovel into the bamboo basket I carried.

Of course, as for how much you load, it depends on your own strength, that is, how much you can carry. Although, as a man, I rarely do this kind of manual work. Even so, I don't dare to say it, otherwise I'm afraid that this shovel master will say that I, as a man, can carry so little things?

Of course, this is my own imagination. There is no reason at all, it is unfounded, it is just based on one's own imagination. You, no matter how much you carry, as long as you do your best, no one else cares about you. Don't be afraid, if other people laugh at it, it's not for this shovel master's family, what does he care so much for?

A big bamboo basket full of sand, how heavy it is for me to carry it, I can say that I don't have to think about it, but since I put so much sand into it, I have to grit my teeth anyway, and I have to carry it to the mountain, otherwise, what do others think of me, I don't know, my identity is the principal of a traditional culture school, even if it is a normal man, my face is not hanging, so I have to grit my teeth, twist my nose, and carry the sand to the mountain.

That's what I say, but it's very simple to act. Needless to say, this is a mountain road, not flat land, and not taking a step is like walking on flat ground, the appearance of ten or so steps, and the physical strength consumed.

So, after a while I put the sand on some slabs along the way. These stone slabs are for the convenience of those who come and go, so that the person who carries the things on his back can put the things on his back at any time and rest for a while.

I know that if there is a first rest, there is a second rest, and it will be a long delay. So I gritted my teeth, I didn't dare to rest no matter what, even if I was tired, I wanted to say Amitabha, take a step, and come to the mountain.

Carry everything onto the big sand pile on the mountain, and at the entrance of the mountain there are a lot of drinks, including tea, mung bean soup, white fungus soup and lemonade. There are also some fruits, like apples, oranges, walnuts. Of course, it's more about dim sum . You can eat as much as you like, but you can't waste it.

Not only can't it be wasted, but not a drop of water on the mountain can be wasted, because this thing is carried by all the volunteers who have their hearts.

As I was about to go down, a very low girl caught my eye.

That's right, I didn't plan to talk to him at first, I came up with me, and the other senior brothers said hello to him, so that I could say a word to her.

According to the female brother, she is not yet 20 years old this year, and she has not yet graduated from the technical secondary school, so she took the opportunity of the summer vacation to come over and volunteer. I agree with him when he says this, because many people at his young age either use the summer vacation to have a good time at home, go crazy, and sleep. Or find a part-time job in a summer union, and use the opportunity of summer work to earn some for yourself, pocket money or living expenses.

And she is still choosing such a path at the age of spending money, a path with zero income. One can imagine how great his blessing was.

"You carry such a big back, can you carry it?" I asked the female brother.

She laughed before she spoke.

"In the beginning, I carried a half-bamboo basket like you. It was a week or two before I was carrying a basket full of bamboo. At the beginning, when I carried half a bamboo basket, I felt a little tired, but now that it has been a long time, I feel that I am not very tired when I carry a bamboo basket. ”

Listening to her say this, I know that no matter what kind of thing you do, you need experience, you need to accumulate, of course, this kind of physical work is even more so, if you just start to memorize, you must not be able to carry it, and you still have very little to carry it, and your body is very tired. It seems that I should step up my physical activity. Because since I graduated, I have rarely been on the basketball court, and I have never even touched the shadow of basketball.

After listening to this female brother's encouragement and enlightenment, I felt that I could not rest like this now, I should hurry up and work now, otherwise when will I be able to surpass her?

I didn't bother to drink water or eat some snacks, so I hurried back on.

When I came down, at this time, all the people were holding their breath and standing on both sides, with their heads bowed and their hands folded. I don't know why they are like this, but since they are like this, then I will follow the local customs and learn from them. When they are back to work, they are going about their jobs. I asked, why did you do this just now?
