258. Tianqing Zhongren
Feng Yuanzhi collapsed, looking around, there was only a small wooden table in the simple house, and an extremely old bed, Feng Yuanzhi pushed open the door, and saw that there was a middle-aged nun sweeping the floor not far from the door, and one after another of the dead yellow leaves were swept together, and the autumn wind blew, blowing the freshly swept dead leaves, one by one to the corner of the yard, and a few pieces were blown to the feet of Feng Yuanzhi.
After the nun swept the corner back, she walked to Feng Yuanzhi's side and swept back the few pieces at her feet, and looked up to see that the girl who the man had brought in yesterday had woken up.
The middle-aged nun raised her palms, "Amitabha, donor, you're awake." ”
Feng Yuanzhi recalled that when she first came here, before the door was knocked, she was already unconscious, her hands were folded, and she said, "May I ask this master, how did I enter Tianqing Temple?" ”
The middle-aged nun said: "Yesterday you fainted at the gate of the temple, and the host saw you fainting on the ground and carried you back with me. ”
But Feng Yuanzhi seemed to vaguely remember who she was carried in, and her mind was still a little drowsy, Feng Yuanzhi helped her head, maybe it was just because she was unconscious and hallucinated.
Feng Yuanzhi's face was haggard, she raised a pair of tired beautiful eyes, and folded her hands to thank the middle-aged nun.
It's autumn. The autumn wind is blowing cooler and cooler, getting bigger and bigger, blowing away the fallen leaves that the nun has just swept away again, the nun took the broom and walked to sweep the fallen leaves back, and after sweeping for a long time, the nun leaned the broom against the trunk, one hand supported the tree and the other hand supported the waist, her face looked very tired, the nun coughed a few times, Feng Yuanzhi walked over and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
The nun sighed, lamenting that her body was not as good as before, when she was young, because of the death of her parents, she lost her desire to live, committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and was rescued by the abbot, speaking of which, the abbot was her savior. After rescuing her, the abbot enlightened her day by day and gave her hope of survival, and the abbot not only saved her life, but also saved her heart.
When I first came to Tianqing Temple, Tianqing Temple was quite lively, there were many nuns, there were many pilgrims, and there were many people living nearby, but later the Longmen Knife Bureau appeared, the place was mixed, there were many people who came out of it with knives to rob and kill, and ransacked the homes of the people in this vicinity, and then all the people in the vicinity moved away, and the nuns in Tianqing Temple also returned to the vulgar, so that now it has almost become a barren land, and there are only a dozen nuns left in the temple.
The nun sighed, sweeping the floor when she was young can be easily done, but after a few decades, her body is not as good as before, and she is powerless to do things, if she is given another chance to be young, she must live well back then, and she will not commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake, even if her father and mother are no longer alive, but they must all hope that they will live well, and when they reach the marriageable age, they will become biological children with their beloved men, and it is a kind of happiness to teach their husbands and children at home every day.
The wind gradually became smaller, Feng Yuanzhi took the broom and swept it up in the yard, and when the dead branches and fallen leaves in the yard were cleaned, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and the cold also came, Feng Yuanzhi helped the nun into the house, and the nun thanked her, and sighed about the past. When she decided to become a nun, the abbot persuaded her several times, the dust is not over, there are still worries in her heart, not suitable for monkhood, but she insists on leaving home, now I think back, if she did not choose to become a monk back then, she may have lived the life of a husband and children that she dreamed of living since she was a child, although the monk cannot be said to be a bad life, but in fact, the earthly life is more suitable for her.
Feng Yuanzhi asked her why she had not chosen to return to vulgarity for so many years.
The nun seems to have opened the floodgates of memory, stayed in Tianqing Temple for a long time, and had feelings with her sisters, she also has a special feeling for Tianqing Temple, and the abbot is her life-saving benefactor, the abbot is not in good health, she wants to take good care of her.
The nun coughed several times, she persuaded Feng Yuanzhi, she was just like her back then, the thought of earthly things is not over, don't make up your mind to become a monk and practice.
Soon after, the abbot brought a bowl of porridge, and heard from the other nuns in the temple that they saw the girl awake and helped sweep the floor in the courtyard, so the abbot wanted to come and see it, and brought porridge to fill her stomach, and the abbot was followed by a nun who brought water, and the nun said softly: "Girl, you are awake, wash your face." ”
Feng Yuanzhi said softly: "How can I bother you so much, I'll just come by myself." ”
The nun behind the abbot blurted out, "The son next to you saved us, he ........."
At this point, she was interrupted by the abbot, who told her to go down to work first, and the nun hung her head and withdrew.
Feng Yuanzhi was in a trance for a moment, feeling that they were deliberately hiding something from her, what kind of son, and how did he save them........
Feng Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, and asked the host what the nun said just now, and what he meant by saving people.
The abbot raised his eyebrows and told Feng Yuanzhi that in fact, that son was passing by Tianqing Temple a few days ago, and saw that some people from the Longmen Knife Bureau who ran out to kill people with knives came to Tianqing Temple with the intention of killing them, so he drew a knife to help them and rescued them.
Feng Yuanzhi secretly wondered, obviously the nun was talking about the son next to her, how could it be the son who came a few days ago.
The abbot asked her to wash her face first, and she was in a coma for a day, maybe her consciousness was not fully awake, she washed her face and drank the porridge, so she had a good rest and rest, and she didn't have to hear the wrong words, Feng Yuanzhi seemed to be able to hear the meaning of the words, and the son she heard next to her was actually just that she heard it wrong.
Seeing Feng Yuanzhi's dress, like a young lady from a large family, usually this kind of young lady is followed by a personal maid when she goes out, and the abbot asks Feng Yuanzhi why she came here alone.
Feng Yuanzhi told the abbot of the recent death of his mother's illness, but the abbot repeatedly emphasized that Tianqing Temple would no longer accept newcomers.
It's like knowing that Feng Yuanzhi wants to cut her hair as a nun in the morning.
After the abbot left the room, the middle-aged nun got up, helped her waist, and said, "Girl, I'm leaving, we are watching your horse well, and when you are well-groomed, let's go home quickly." ”
The middle-aged nun walked out of the room, Feng Yuanzhi followed out, the autumn breeze was cool, and the cool breeze gradually drifted in the drizzle, adding to the cold, the nun shivered, curled up, Feng Yuanzhi returned to the room, there was an umbrella in the corner, opened the umbrella and walked to the nun's side to block the rain for her, but only to know that the umbrella was broken.
The two walked to the small pavilion to take shelter from the rain, and the nun told her that it was not safe and that she should not come again.
Feng Yuanzhi asked the reason, and the nun said that in recent years, the situation of the Longmen Knife Bureau has been unstable, and many of its disciples have escaped without permission, robbing and killing people in order to seize gold and silver treasures, and in recent days, the director of the Knife Bureau has taken a fancy to the land of Tianqing Temple and wants to rob it to build another house. If it weren't for the fact that they had been here for a long time, they had a deep affection for this place, and they were reluctant to leave, so they fled early in the morning to save their lives, and the nun told Feng Yuanzhi that she was still young, unlike some people who run around and work hard for food and clothing, but they can live with peace of mind and live well, don't leave home so early.
The problem that Feng Yuanzhi didn't understand came again, since she woke up, the people in Tianqing Temple seemed to be deliberately running for one purpose to communicate with her, that is, don't be a nun.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the tile on the roof of the temple fell and shattered with a "pop", followed by the breaking of this tile, and several tiles fell down together, which startled Feng Yuanzhi, but the nun looked calm and said lightly: "For so many years, I have been used to it." ”
Feng Yuanzhi asked, why don't you find someone to repair it, and the nun sighed that if she had that silver, she wouldn't be so poor in the temple, and she wouldn't have a good dress to wear in autumn. Feng Yuanzhi looked at the clothes she was wearing, and the thin ones really couldn't keep warm.
I drank the porridge not long ago, and I didn't have much rice, which is probably the reason for the poverty.
This middle-aged nun, like the abbot and other nuns, is all thin and thin, Feng Yuanzhi frowned, although her father's official is not very big, but she has lived a rich and worry-free life since she was a child, and she never thought that there were these people in this world who lived so hard.
The original intention of coming to Tianqing Temple was to cut her hair for a nun, but now she has changed her mind, the life of the people in Tianqing Temple is so difficult, she decided to help them, and after being away from home for so long, it is estimated that everyone in the family is looking for themselves to find crazy.
When the rain slowly subsided, a few nuns brought in old ladders to clean up the tiles on the roof and the broken tiles that had fallen to the ground. The cold wind and cold rain blew the leaves on the tree to the ground, the middle-aged nun walked over to clean the ground, and Feng Yuanzhi also followed to help, but the middle-aged nun seemed unwilling to let her help, and told her that if she was well, she should hurry home and not suffer here.
Feng Yuanzhi bowed her head slightly and rode away.
Su Lianlian originally said that she would go to the bank of the Luochen River to find her, but after going to the bank of the Luochen River, she searched all the corners there, but she could not find any trace of her, and was severely reprimanded by Fengjiang for this.
On the way back to Fengfu, Feng Yuanzhi rode a horse on the streets of Gyeongju, along the way men and women, young and old, attracted by her beautiful face, and several sons also rode horses to follow her in order to keep up with her, until they followed Fengfu, they knew that this was the first beauty, no wonder even if the face was haggard, it was so charming.
The first time Feng Yuanzhi returned to Fengfu, she went to Feng Jiang to ask for her guilt, Feng Jiang couldn't help but sigh, the stubborn daughter finally learned to take the initiative to admit her mistakes, in the past, I am afraid that she left Fengfu without permission for several days, and reprimanded her in every way, she didn't know where she was wrong, or even if she knew her mistakes, she would never admit her mistakes.
Feng Yuanzhi told Feng Jiang what she had seen and heard in Tianqing Temple, and bluntly said that she wanted to help them.
Feng Jiang promised her to help the nuns of Tianqing Temple. Feng Yuanzhi's master came here yesterday, but he didn't see Feng Yuanzhi here, just drank a few sips of tea, and then went back to his home.
This master teaches Feng Yuanzhi swordsmanship, martial arts, Feng Yuanzhi has been smart since she was a child, she learns quickly, but she is very naughty, her master just likes this kind of apprentice the most, and taught her what she has learned all her life.
