Chapter 173: How Can You Eat Bunnies
The Thousand Buddha Temple is halfway up the Thousand Buddha Mountain, and in order to show the piety of the pilgrims, there are 1,000 stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the temple.
The Queen Mother devoted herself to cultivating Buddhism, and when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she got down from the carriage, and every year she personally stepped on this thousand-layer stone steps to the Thousand Buddha Temple.
Mama Liao followed the palace maid to support the Queen Mother, Lin Mumu and they followed, and the group marched towards the Thousand Buddha Temple.
There are a lot of steps in a thousand steps, Rao is Lin Mumu felt that his legs were weak when he walked down like this, and then looked at the Queen Mother who walked in the front, and walked all the way to the gate of the Thousand Buddha Temple without a pause!
Lin Mumu stood on the stone steps sweating profusely, looking up at the Thousand Buddha Temple hidden in a layer of mist.
Originally, she felt that the Great Buddha Temple was already very large, but in front of the Thousand Buddha Temple, the Great Awakening Temple was like a child standing beside the adult.
Lin Mumu took a deep breath, relieved the soreness on her legs, and then gritted her teeth and climbed all the stone steps.
Outside the Thousand Buddha Temple, a group of monks who had already received the news were already waiting outside the door.
A tall, peaceful monk wearing a robe walked up to the Queen Mother with his hands folded, he was the presiding officer of the Thousand Buddha Temple, Master Suiyun. "Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother let go of the hand that was holding her and returned to Suiyun to preside over a Buddha ceremony. "Amitabha, Master Suiyun doesn't have to be polite, all beings are equal in front of the Buddha."
"The Queen Mother is well versed in Buddhism, the poor monk is ashamed of himself, the poor monk has asked people to clean up the guest house where the Queen Mother lived in previous years, the Queen Mother please."
The Queen Mother bowed slightly, and was led into the Thousand Buddha Temple by Suiyun.
Lin Mumu and others also followed the Queen Mother into the temple.
The guest house was at the back of the temple, and the queen mother was taken into an independent courtyard, while Lin Mumu followed the palace maid to the row of guest rooms on the mountain.
"Doctor Lin, you have also been tired in the past few days, you can rest first, and the slave maid will bring you fasting food in a while."
"Then there will be labor."
The room is very simple, there is only one sleeping couch in it, and a low table is placed on the sleeping couch, and two futons are placed next to it.
Lin Mumu put her luggage in the cabinet and walked to the couch to lie down.
Although she had been resting at the inn for the past few nights, she was still tired enough, and not long after lying down, the palace maid came with a meal.
A plate of assorted tofu, a seasonal veg and a bowl of pumpkin soup.
Lin Mumu is hungry, but she has no appetite for these vegetables, she is the master of no meat and no joy, the Queen Mother is going to study here for a month, she won't have to eat these clear soups and little water this month!
The Thousand Buddha Temple is outside the city of Jingzhou Mansion, and she just wants to find an opportunity to go out and steal food!
After the palace maid withdrew, Lin Mumu pulled out the beef jerky that she coincidentally made for her before going out from the baggage, she tore up the beef jerky and threw it into the pumpkin soup to eat, even so, after a meal, she still felt that her stomach was empty as if she hadn't eaten.
"Hey, the next days will not be easy!"
"Doctor Lin is here?"
After eating and drinking, Lin Mumu was about to continue lying down, when a person came outside the door.
Lin Mumu turned over and opened the door of the house, and there was a palace maid outside the door.
"What's wrong? But the Queen Mother is looking for me? ”
"It's Mama Liao, the Queen Mother was frightened on the road before, and Mama Liao was worried about the Queen Mother's body, so she asked Doctor Lin to go over and take a look."
Lin Mumu nodded. "Okay, you wait." After saying that, she turned around and went into the house to carry the medicine box on her back
The palace maid went out.
The guest house where the Queen Mother lived was the best location in the entire temple, in the middle of the position.
After Lin Mumu arrived outside the Queen Mother's courtyard, the palace maid entered the door to report, and it didn't take long for her to let her in.
"Say hello to the Queen Mother."
"There's no need to be polite in this temple, get up."
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Lin Mumu straightened up, the Queen Mother sat on the futon, she changed into a simple monk's robe, the hairpin ornaments on her head were removed, and her long hair was only pulled into a round bun with a plain wooden hairpin.
Her eyebrows and eyes were faint, her expression was peaceful, and she really looked like a high-ranking monk when she sat there.
"Doctor Lin, the Queen Mother was frightened on the road just now, you can diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse." Mama Liao, who was standing on the side, said.
"Yes." Lin Mumu walked up to the Queen Mother and sat down. "Queen Mother, please."
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand.
Lin Mumu's fingertips gently landed on her veins.
The Queen Mother's face looked a little pale, her lips were also light, and she looked a little weak.
Judging from the pulse, the Queen Mother's body was unexpectedly good, and she didn't believe it when she first explored the pulse, but when she looked closely, she found that it was true.
The Queen Mother's health is good, how good is it, take her as an example, once she is seriously ill, her body may not be as durable as the Queen Mother.
"Doctor Lin, is the Queen Mother okay?" Mama Liao saw Lin Mumu's brows twisted slightly, and she couldn't help but get nervous after not saying anything for a long time, thinking that the Queen Mother was scared out of something.
Lin Mumu came back to her senses and got up with an impermanent face. "The Queen Mother was just a little frightened, and I can prescribe a calming decoction for the Queen Mother."
"What kind of soothing soup to drink, the mourning family is very good, the sour plum soup you asked them to boil before is good, let's go and boil a bowl for the mourning family." The Queen Mother spoke lightly.
"Yes, the Queen Mother wants to drink the old slave, so let people boil it."
"The Queen Mother's body has always been weak, and Medical Officer Laulin has bothered during this time." Mama Liao personally sent Lin Mumu out of the hospital.
Lin Mumu really didn't dare to agree with this, the Queen Mother was weak, she could do a thousand stone steps in one go?! Her legs are still soft, okay?
Lin Mumu returned to his guest room, the sky was getting dark, the lights in the courtyard were gradually extinguished, and Lin Mumu also lay down on the couch after taking a bath.
When she came today, her spirit was tense for a while, and she met a pervert who was physically and mentally exhausted, and she fell asleep not long after she closed her eyes.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, Lin Mumu was awakened by the sound of the temple bells, because she slept early, her spirit was not bad.
The Queen Mother saluted the Buddha, and got up early in the morning to go to the Buddha hall in front of her to go to the morning class.
Lin Mumu stretched, and after a while, the palace maid came over with breakfast.
Lin Mumu looked at the food that was similar to yesterday, and instantly didn't even have the ** to hold chopsticks, Lin Mumu picked up a few mouthfuls of rice casually, and felt that her mouth was about to fade out of the bird.
"Huang Ying, have you ever been to the Thousand Buddha Temple with the queen mother before?"
Huang Ying is the palace maid sent by Mama Liao to serve Lin Mumu.
"Lord Huilin, the slave maid came once last year."
"What's the best place to go in this Thousand Buddha Temple?"
Huang Ying is about the same age as Lin Mumu, and I know what she means by asking, everyone is not very old and can't be as dedicated to Buddha as the Queen Mother, so when she came last year, she went to the back mountain to play with a few familiar palace maids in private. "Yes, there is a field of loquat not far behind the guest house
The tree was picked by the slaves and maidservants last year. ”
"Oh? And wild loquats? "There are wild fruits on the mountain, and there must be a lot of pheasants and hares.
Lin Mumu thought of the hare meat roasted on the fire rack, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
"However, it's better not to go to Doctor Lin?"
"Oh? How so? ”
Huang Ying frowned a little sadly. "Last year, the slave maid had a little sister who was more playful, and ran to the back mountain alone, and never came back, and then the guards went to find and said yes, saying that she was bitten by a wolf, so Doctor Lin must not go alone."
In the back mountain of the Thousand Buddha Temple, it is not surprising that there are wild beasts in the mountains and deep forests.
Lin Mumu said that he would not go, but his mind had already been hooked away by the roasted hare meat.
After lunch, Lin Mumu let Huang Ying go down to rest, she changed into a narrow-sleeved regular dress that was easy to move, and walked out of the guest room with things that might be used.
The room she lived in was right next to the temple wall, and behind the room was the back door of the temple.
She looked around at no one, then opened the back door and walked out.
There is a path outside the back door that leads to the back hill.
As soon as she walked out of the temple and walked in the mountains, Lin Mumu felt a cool mountain breeze blowing, she stretched her waist, it was quiet and comfortable here, and it was really a good place to retire.
She followed the path up the hill, and at the end of the path she saw a patch of wild loquat trees.
At this time, it is the season when the loquat is ripe, and the yellow-orange loquat hanging on the tree is really gratifying.
Lin Mumu grabbed a long pole on the ground and snapped a few times to knock down the loquat on the tree.
I picked up some large ones and put them in a small cloth bag I brought with them, and ate them while walking.
"Well, the wild ones are still the sweet, sour and astringent ones that are still uncultivated." The more I ate, the hungrier I became.
Lin Mumu didn't plan to go too deep into the mountains, just like Huang Ying said, he was afraid that there were wild beasts in the mountains, and it would be a trouble if he really encountered them.
With her previous experience in the mountains, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from her body and sprinkled it under several trees, and then found a secret place to sit down.
That's right, all she's doing now is waiting for the rabbit!
She took out the last piece of beef jerky from her body and ate it, keeping an eye on the changes over there.
After a while, a hare cautiously jumped out of the forest, jumped under the tree and sniffed the place where Lin Mumu had sprinkled the medicinal powder.
Lin Mumu looked at the approaching hare and licked her lips.
The rabbit originally thought that it had found some delicious food, but who knew that it approached and wrote the medicinal powder, and not long after it smelled it, it kicked its legs and fell to the ground!
Hey!
It's done!
However, Lin Mumu did not step forward immediately, but continued to wait in the grass until three rabbits came out to kick her legs, and then she ran out with a smile and picked up the rabbits on the ground.
"Blessed today!"
She found the stream water, took out a dagger, cleaned up the river rabbits, and directly picked up firewood by the stream and built a shelf to roast rabbit meat to eat.
When it was almost roasted, she sprinkled the powdered pepper and peppercorns on the rabbit meat, and the fragrance instantly filled her entire senses, and she felt that her soul was sublimated!
Looking at the roasted rabbit meat, Lin Mumu frowned and pursed his mouth. "Bunnies are so cute, how can you eat bunnies!?"
After speaking, when she opened her mouth to bite into the rabbit meat, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her and snatched the rabbit meat from her mouth!
