Lu Ze immediately stood up straight, and nodded to the fortune teller seriously, listening carefully to her instructions.

"First of all, the meditation room in the temple is not a place for others to enter, but your situation is different from others, so I arranged for you to stay in the temple these days. However, the temple is divided into two places: the monk temple and the nunnery, these days you will stay in the meditation room of the monk temple, you can come to the nunnery to meditate during the day, and my teacher will purify your soul for you every day. ”

Soul Purifying ......

Although it was not the first time Lu Ze had heard this word, it was an incredible thing to have an old nun purify his soul in such a fairyland-like temple, and it felt magical just thinking about it.

"During the Soul Purification period, you need to meditate in the meditation room, close your eyes and meditate, and no matter what happens during this period, you should not talk to the teacher."

"Well, I see."

Lu Ze nodded obediently, but in fact, he was confused at this time, and he didn't know what the so-called pure soul was.

"It's almost noon, so I'll take you to the meditation room for a short rest and dinner later."

I saw the fortune teller aunt walking towards the inner courtyard of the nunnery while motioning for Lu Ze to follow her steps. Lu Ze followed the fortune-telling aunt into the inner courtyard of the nunnery with full curiosity, although it was daytime, the courtyard was extremely quiet, and only the chirping of insects and birds in the forest could be heard.

On the way, they met a few young nuns who were busy preparing lunch, and they nodded slightly with the fortune teller aunt and Lu Ze who passed by, and Lu Ze immediately nodded to them when he saw this, but he didn't raise his eyes for fear of offending them.

After a while, the fortune teller led Lu Ze into a quiet meditation room. The Zen room is small but clean and tidy, and the simple wooden furniture all reveals a rustic atmosphere.

"You can rest here for a while, and I'll help prepare lunch, which will be delivered to you later."

I didn't expect the fortune teller aunt to be so polite, which made Lu Ze feel a little unhappy in his heart, so he hurriedly said:

"Auntie, I can cook too, I can help."

"Your kindness is appreciated."

I saw that the fortune-telling aunt politely rejected Lu Ze's kindness, and then explained to him unhurriedly:

"The temple stipulates that there is a distinction between men and women. On weekdays, the nunnery meals are prepared by the nuns in the temple, and men and women are not allowed to eat at the same table. ”

"Ahh That's right, that's sorry for you. ”

Lu Ze touched the back of his head in embarrassment, he didn't expect that the rules in the temple were so strict, not only could men not participate in cooking the nuns' meals, but even men and women could not eat together at the same table. No wonder the fortune teller said that she would bring lunch for herself in a while, it seems that this is not polite, but the rules of the temple.

After that, the fortune teller aunt nodded to Lu Ze and left first.

Right now, Lu Ze is alone in the meditation room, so he has the opportunity to take a good look around. On one side of the meditation room, there is a white mattress and futon for guests to rest, and in the corner there is a small old-fashioned boiler that is supposed to be used to boil water. The rest, except for a wooden table and a few futons, are made of wood without any decoration, and look quite quaint.

Because this meditation room was not a place to stay at night, it was only a place for the master to temporarily rest for his soul, so Lu Ze sat down on the futon next to him and did not pack his luggage.

After about 30 minutes, I saw the fortune teller walking from not far away with two wooden bowls, one large and one small. Seeing this, Lu Ze immediately got up and trotted over to take the two wooden bowls, and the fortune teller told Lu Ze that if he didn't have enough to eat, he could add more, and said that he would come back later to take back the dishes and chopsticks, and then left.

After Lu Ze thanked the fortune teller and watched her leave, he returned to the meditation room with two wooden bowls. The large bowl contains half of the white rice, the other half of the fried greens, cucumbers, fungus and potatoes, and the small bowl contains the loofah consommé.

It seems that he can only eat some vegetables these days, which can be described as a special practice for Lu Ze, a "carnivore". But seeing that his stomach was already rumbling, Lu Ze began to gulp down the food in the bowl.

The vegetables are fresh, the rice has a slight sweetness, and the hot soup is light but refreshing. It doesn't seem to matter much if you don't eat meat, Lu Ze sighed from the bottom of his heart after eating his fill.

After a while, the fortune teller came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked if Ke Luze had eaten enough.

"Thank you, Auntie. The vegetables here are fresh and the diet is light, so it must be good for your health in the long run, right? ”

"Needless to say, we grow our own vegetables, which is self-sufficient and indeed healthier."

"No wonder it's so fresh!"

"But your stomach hasn't healed yet, so don't eat small, frequent meals."

The fortune teller said with concern, pointed to the back mountain outside the house, and then said to Lu Ze:

"If you have time now, come with me to the back mountains to pick a wild fruit, the juice of which is ground to help your stomach recover."

"Ahh Okay, no questions. ”

Unexpectedly, the fortune teller aunt was so worried about her body, and Lu Ze only felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

He followed the fortune teller all the way to the mountain behind the nunnery, and there was a different scene in front of him. Different from the fairyland-like atmosphere in the front yard, the back mountain reveals a kind of human fireworks everywhere. The fields of vegetable patches are fertile and the green vegetables look fresh and juicy, and a few little nuns are busy picking them in the fields. The firewood room on the side was full of grain, and a few small wild dogs were playing happily at the door.

The fortune teller led Lu Ze in the direction of the back mountain, through a small dense forest, and came to a small hillside overgrown with wild grass. It's the middle of the afternoon, the sun is hot, and if you just stand there for a while, you'll be sweating profusely.

But the fortune teller didn't seem to care about the scorching heat of the scorching sun, although Lu Ze found that her forehead and neck were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and even her skin was slightly red from the scorching sun. But she only bent down and rummaged through the weeds for a red fruit, and when she finally found a bunch of red fruits, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Seeing the fortune teller aunt working so hard to find wild fruits everywhere for herself, no matter how hard and tired she was, she didn't say a word, Lu Ze's heart was suddenly moved. In the face of a stranger like oneself to be able to do such a thing without expecting anything in return, it takes a lot of heart and compassion.

So he immediately ran forward to search for the red wild fruit with the fortune teller, and the two of them silently searched for nearly two hours in the overgrown weeds before leaving.

After returning to the temple, the fortune teller didn't even bother to rest, and immediately cleaned the wild fruits she had picked repeatedly, and then crushed them to boil the juice. After being busy for nearly an hour, I saw the fortune teller put the wild juice into a bowl and handed it to Lu Ze, and instructed him:

"Come on, you'll feel better if you drink it. If it works well, I'll do it for you tomorrow. ”

"Well, thank you, Auntie, for your hard work."

At this moment, a thousand words could not express Lu Ze's inner gratitude to his aunt, this stranger who was not related to him by blood, was actually thinking about his own safety all the time, Lu Ze had never seen such a compassionate person before.

Although she is silent, she is quick and thoughtful in her actions, which all make Lu Ze grateful.

So in a blink of an eye, he thought of his mother...
