Punan Temple is located at the foot of Nanfeng Mountain, but a few miles is the largest six canal bank in the south of the Yangtze River, separated by a mountain, there is a crowded wharf, and this side is an inaccessible temple. Sure enough, in the hungry era, holding a few copper plates in his hand is more useful than any heavenly gods and Buddhas!

Coming to Nanfeng Mountain again, Yan Dui's mood at the moment is completely different, the past was innocent, the family is still there, the mountain is the mountain, and the water is water. Now that the family is gone, look at the mountains again, the grass and trees are withering, and then look at the water, lonely and cold.

When Yan Du and Shen saw that the novice had arrived at the gate of Punan Temple, they saw that on the long stairs of the temple, there was only one small novice sweeping the fallen leaves, and it was very deserted.

As soon as the little novice saw Shenjian, he was so nervous that his feet were slightly bent and he didn't dare to straighten up, as long as he collapsed, he would keep trembling, Yan Du carefully observed the little novice, only to see that he was about the same age as herself, and his body was thinner than her, highlighting two black and bright eyes, which looked particularly pitiful.

Why was he afraid to be cautious? Little Novice shuddered his bare head and caught a glimpse of the unkempt face of Twilight standing behind Shinmi, and as they looked at each other, she read the worry in his eyes.

"Shen Xing, you are just right here, take this little brother to the backyard to freshen up, his hand is injured, wait for him to pick out blood blisters, apply some mugwort ointment to bandage it."

Xiao Shami's eyes wandered, and he said resignedly: "Okay, be careful to see Senior Brother." ”

Seeing that he still had his same smile, he waved his hand to signal Twilight to follow the prudent walk to the backyard of the temple.

Yan Du silently followed Shen Xing's footsteps, now his legs are not shaking, but he walks extremely slowly, Yan Du looked carefully, and found that his right leg was a little sluggish, could it be injured? She slowed down and observed the Punan Temple all the way, and the deeper she went, the more she felt that this place was really inaccessible. The pilgrims didn't see two, and the monk's words were no one else except for these little novices.

She looked from the spacious front hall to the tattered backyard, thinking that her father had donated a large sum of sesame oil money to Punan Temple to renovate the temple a few years ago, and it seemed that he had only done superficial work.

The land of Buddhism is supposed to be bright and bright, and it seems that this Punan Temple also has another side hidden under compassion......

Shen Xing Shami took her to a small side room, got a pot of water, some ointment and bandages, and carefully wiped the charcoal ash from her hands.

"You're the little boy of a big family, right?" Shen Xing's big eyes were dark, and he stared at Yan Dui's hand and said.

The unburned part was smooth as jade, and the back of her dust-covered hand was wiped off, revealing her white skin like snow, even if the person in front of her was a man like herself, Shen Xing blushed a little embarrassedly.

Yan Du quietly looked at the little novice who was about the same age as herself, when she was freshly clothed and fed, it turned out that children of the same age as herself could already do so much rough work, ashamed!

She sighed deeply and said, "What kind of little boy is just an orphan without a father and mother." ”

When Shen Xing heard Yan Duan's words, he suddenly felt speechless, he hadn't heard those scoundrels on the street, scolding regardless of it, when the pilgrimage was extravagant, and no one could do it. What's more, they blame the court for corruption and the people's misery. In the end, those who scolded the court were either thrown into the wilderness or imprisoned, and the common people were afraid in their eyes and hearts, and they did not dare to complain of their bitterness, all of which were contained in their dry throats, their mouths hoarse, and their hearts numb.

In troubled times, there are many children like him.

Shen Xing silently helped Yan Duan to break the blood blisters and squeeze out the pus, he didn't expect this child called "Xiaobao" to be so enduring, if it was someone else, he would have screamed in pain.

"Xiaobao, if you hurt, just scream!"

Yan Du looked at her hands that had been bandaged with ointment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that she shook her head and said strongly, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Ten fingers connected to the heart, how could it not hurt, just gritted his teeth and pushed through again......

Shen Xing Xiao Shami wiped the dust on Yan Dui's face with a coarse cloth, and as the filth on Yan Dui's face became less and less, he became more and more surprised:

Xiaobao he, he was born so good-looking! A face is as white and lovely as porcelain jade, the eyes are as black and white as autumn water, and although the pair of heroic eyebrows are sparse, they add a bit of heroism to the whole delicate face.

"You're so good-looking, you're going to bring disaster." Little Shami looked at her with a little blushing and a little loneliness, his dark eyes still had childish innocence and unspeakable worries.

"Woe? Why do you say that? "Handsome and beautiful, why is it the root of disaster in the eyes of this little novice?

As if realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Shen Xing hurriedly widened his big dark eyes, kept shaking his head, and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from speaking.

Shrewd as twilight, she suddenly caught Shen Xing's desire to speak and stopped, she blinked her eyes, knocked on the side, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with your right leg?" ”

"My leg ......" seemed to mention his sadness, Shen Xing's crazy shaking head suddenly stopped, his weak body seemed to have uncontrollable emotions, I don't know whether it was pain or fear, his somewhat dry and skinny lips slowly said: "It's Shen to see senior brother......"

With a babbling sound, the door of the side room was pushed open, and I saw Shen Jian walking in with some fasting food, and walked in with a smile, Shen Xing, who heard the sound of opening the door, trembled all over, closed his mouth, and quickly cleaned up the ointment on the table.

Shen Jian didn't even look at the tail of his eyes, and stared straight at Yan Duan, who had cleaned his little face, and suddenly the smile in his eyes became even stronger.

This reminded Yan Du of the past, a group of merchants from Tubo came to the house, that day my father set up a banquet in the house, and the merchant leader was very happy to entertain him, and ordered his subordinates to bring a basket, but she didn't open it for a long time, she couldn't hold back when she was young and naughty, so she stepped forward to open the basket, but was frightened by the contents and fell to the ground, and looked at it, a yellow-skinned and black-striped python was staring at two eyes, moving slowly in the basket.

Seeing that she fell to the ground, everyone present couldn't help laughing, she was still wondering, can such a dangerous thing really be served in the hall, but her father picked her up and asked her to touch the python's head. Seeing her father's peaceful appearance, she had the courage to touch it, only to see that the big python was like a clingy kitten, and it was still spitting out letters, and flatteringly let her pet it to her heart's content.

Daddy explained to her that this was a non-venomous Tubo yellow python, and when it opened its eyes, it would not have the intention of attacking people. But when it squints, its crooked slits like a laugh, it's time to be wary, it's actually aiming at your lifeblood, ready to open its fangs and kill with a single blow.

How many people in the world, with dirty thoughts, how beautiful the smiles on their faces, they are the pit vipers who lure you into a dead end, and they are the "good people" who step on your flesh and blood to extract benefits.

Yan Du vigilantly stared at the fasting meal in Shen Jian's hand, all this was another interpretation in Shen Jian's eyes, Xiao Bao this guy is hungry!

He didn't expect this new little beggar to have such a look, he looked like a little boy, but he had been mixed in the beggar pile for so long, only Xiaobao, the usual milk name, probably because the family was ruined, this is the best, no family came to him, the group of small wastes in the broken temple will forget him in two days, and there is no worry about selling it anywhere, you can call a good price......

I saw him put the hot meal on the table, and said to him with a smile: "It's almost dark, Xiaobao is hungry, right?" I specially picked out some good dishes for you, hurry up and eat. ”

She exhaled deeply, as if she was particularly grateful, and her two black and white apricot eyes looked at Zhai Fan in surprise, nodded deeply, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Shen Xing, who was packing up his things on the side, saw the familiar bowl of rice, the snow-white rice on the bright white blue and white porcelain bowl, which is this rice, this is the rice on the road!

With the panic in his heart, Shen Xing's breathing became more and more urgent, and the bone in his right leg that was broken by Senior Brother Shen Yan ached faintly, blaming him for not being "cautious" enough, and he tried in vain to ventilate the message to let the child sneak away, but unfortunately it was just in vain, the child who was eroded by hunger, where could he resist not touching a bowl of clean rice!

One by one, the sleeping children were put into the hands of traffickers, locked up in the boats of the docks, and walked on the roads from which they would never return home.

Yan Du seemed to feel the nervousness of the little novice, and knew that there must be something greasy in this bowl of rice, so she pretended to be innocent and asked Shen Xing, "Don't you eat Shen Xing Shami?" ”

"He's eating out!" Shen Yan rushed to help him answer, smiling unabated, and at the same time making a look at Shen Xing to get out quickly.

Shen Yan sat opposite Yan Dusk, gently pushed the fasting rice on the table in her direction, and gently urged: "Come, eat quickly!" ”

It's not good, he's going to stare at himself and eat! What should I do now?

Knowing that there was something wrong with the food, she couldn't show suspicions. Yan Dusk's heart is flustered at the moment, biting the smiling pit viper, spitting out a fatal and gentle letter, Daddy, how is she going to solve it?

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Yan Du remembered that at this moment, in the eyes of Shen Jian, he was not the reserved young master of the Yan family, but a poor beggar who was mixed in the beggars!

I saw that she hurriedly nodded gratefully, picked up the big bowl of rice, stood up, rushed to the corner of the room, turned her back to Shen Yan, and didn't use chopsticks, just lowered her head and ate it.

Beggars begging for a little food are not in a hurry to devour it on the spot, but to quickly pick a safe corner before they dare to swallow it. Because, in the process of eating, it was found and snatched away by other beggars, not only could not eat, but also might be beaten.

Shen Yan looked at Yan Duan's poor back indifferently, that kind of lowly behavior was almost like a dog, and he couldn't help but despise it in his heart, this kind of goods can't be sold to big families, but his face is still worthy of the appetite of some dignitaries.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan felt that he didn't need to stare at the dog, so he walked out of the room silently, and at the moment the door closed, Yan Du spit out all the food in his mouth, and his back slowly straightened, standing straight between heaven and earth, his eyes flashing with a firm and cruel light.
