Senior Brother Fengyun saluted, "It's true that I've been running around for a day, and the children are hungry, so I'm sorry for you-"

"It's okay, then please go to the room behind the courtyard to eat."

After saying that, the monk led everyone to the house, and what caught his eye was several beds side by side, thinking that it should be the place where the monks used to sleep, but now he was left alone.

"Everyone, please." He said, and distributed the porridge to the disciples of Qingye Sect from the outside.

"Coarse tea and light rice, please have some." He said.

Senior Brother Fengyun was very grateful, "How can it be, it is not easy for you to think that we are true...... Dare to ask the monk's number? ”

"I ...... The poor monk has been here for a long time, and he has forgotten who he is, so why should he care about the Dharma name? "The man returned." It's not too early, the donor should finish the porridge and rest early, and the poor monk will retire......"

The monk was gone, and they sat on the bed, on the ground, or leaned against the door, holding a bowl of small white porridge and drinking, and there was nothing.

"Ah Ran, you can drink some." Wanqing looked at Xiao Lingran next to her, and the porridge in her hand didn't move.

"No, no appetite, it's not delicious at all." Xiao Lingran complained.

After the meal, everyone went to sleep in different rooms, and everything seemed to be going well.

In the evening, the others slept soundly. Only Xiao Lingran tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

"Hell, why can't you sleep-" Xiao Lingran was a little helpless, obviously it was so late but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Knock-knock-knock"

The familiar voice rang out again.

The voice...... Isn't that the one you heard during the day? Xiao Lingran thought to herself, and then tiptoed out of the room, looking for the source of the sound.

It wasn't until I walked to the door of a nearby hut that I realized that the sound was coming from inside. Like a thief, she quietly leaned on the window, her fingers dipped in saliva, and pierced the layer of window paper.

"All the negative karma created in the past was born from beginningless greed and hatred, born from body, speech, and mind, and I repent of everything now. ……”

"Is this guy still chanting here so late?" Xiao Lingran saw the monk sitting there chanting scriptures and thought.

"Who's where?" The man inside asked.

"I'll go, can I feel it?" Xiao Lingran was taken aback, and hurriedly learned to meow there "meow~meow~".

"It turned out to be a wild cat, it's just ......" The monk shook his head and said to himself, "It's not too early, let's stop here for today's confession." So saying, he put down the scriptures, lay down on the cot, and wrote them.

"Whew......" Xiao Lingran breathed a sigh of relief, "What kind of fame am I doing this big night!" She slapped herself on the head and turned to go to her room.

This time I lay in bed and fell asleep after a while.

"Flowey, Flowey—where did you run away from a dead girl?"

When I opened my eyes, the light was a little piercing, and my consciousness was in a trance, but I heard someone shouting in my ear.

"How did you get here? The old lady shouted that you didn't pay attention for a long time! A person suddenly appeared and met Xiao Lingran's eyes.

It was a woman, with her skin and neat hair, dressed in blue cloth and holding a basket in her hand.

"Huh?" Xiao Lingran made a puzzled sound, and looked around only to find that he had been lying on the grass, and there were a few old hens next to him.

"Well, why don't you get up and go home with me for dinner!" The woman said a little angrily: "It's stupid to sleep well, this girl is really ......"

I don't know what's going on, but it looks like she's talking about herself.

"How am I here?" Xiao Lingran was led by the woman, and she asked on the way.

"I'm going to ask you, play stupid with me now. That's it, Aunt Li next door sent a basket of bayberry to our family, you will go back to wash and eat later, you know? ”

Xiao Lingran didn't know what to think, so he naturally said "um".

The woman led her back to the village, why was this village so familiar? But Xiao Lingran couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Xiaohua, where did you go?" It was a teenager who spoke, as if he knew himself.

Seeing Xiao Lingran looking at him sluggishly, the young man was a little panicked, and hurriedly put his arm on her shoulder to look at it.

"Auntie, sister, what's wrong with her? Did you get some stimulus, why did you ...... stupidly?" the boy asked.

The woman pursed her lips, "Maybe I was scared by some beast when I was having fun somewhere." ”

"Harm, don't worry about this, she'll be fine in a while, you go and wash this basket of bayberry for your sister." The woman pointed to the basket that had been thrown aside, and instructed.

"Yes, I'll go." The young man didn't shirk at all, and quickly washed the bayberry and brought it to Xiao Lingran.

"Little flower, you taste it." The boy only took one to satisfy his hunger.

Xiao Lingran took a bayberry, and was stunned before he put it in his mouth, "Little flower? In her image, it seems that she is not by this name.

"Who is Xiaohua, me?" She pointed to herself.

"Mother, it's over, sister, she's so stupid!" The boy wailed.

The woman shouted, "What nonsense! After saying that, he began to shake himself desperately, thinking that Xiao Lingran had said something evil, so he would be like this.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she pretended to recover her memory, "A-Niang, don't shake it, my brain is going to shake stupidly." ”

"Look at it, my method is still effective." The woman looked at the boy as if she was very proud.

Let's take one step at a time, Xiao Lingran thought.

Lunch is all peasant dishes, and it is not a rich family, and a plate of meat on a table is considered a luxury. Xiao Lingran looked at the table full of green, and he couldn't put down chopsticks.

"Girl, what's the matter, picking up vegetables?" The woman looked at Xiao Lingran and said, seeing that she was still unmoved, she simply put it in the bowl, "No, you eat the most sweet and sour shredded potatoes, eat more." ”

In this way, she lived here for a few days, and she almost knew the rules of life here. During the day, the men are busy with farm work, and the women cook at home with the children, sewing and mending, and the eggs are different from her family.

When her husband died, a woman with two children, not only farming during the day, but also cooking for the children, it was really not easy, but this woman didn't want to remarry, saying that she was afraid that the children would be wronged.

So Xiaohua, that is, Xiao Lingdye, has nothing to do during the day, herds the cattle, feeds the chickens, ducks and pigs, and helps sew and mend at night to do some needlework. As for the elder brother, he wanted to help with the farm work, but his mother didn't let him, but wanted him to go to school.

"Men are ambitious in all directions, where is there anyone who does these jobs every day, how can there be a way out after not studying?" Mother always favors her brother, hoping that he can block the pillars of the family and make himself beautiful.

But Xiaohua was locked up at home, without any choice, and her mother felt that she owed a lot to her.

"A-Niang, A-Niang-"

I don't know how many days have passed, Xiao Lingran has actually gotten used to being here, as if she was really living here.

"What are you doing in a panic, kid, what can't you say?" A-Niang was sitting on a small chair in the middle of the yard rubbing her clothes.

"A-Niang, I got out of school early today, and on the way back, I heard that a group of businessmen came to the village." Amu recounted.

"Merchant? We can't afford to buy any good things they sell, so what does he do? A-Niang muttered.

Amu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "A-Niang, you misunderstood me, this group of merchants passed by our village and just wanted to promote their goods to us, and I heard that some of them will be given away for free this afternoon!" ”

Seeing what Amu said, A-Niang couldn't help but feel a little moved, this thing that doesn't need money, don't want it in vain!

"Do you know what you're sending?" She asked.

Amu shook his head, "I don't know, I was in a hurry, and I ran back to tell you before I finished listening." ”

"Okay, I'll check it out in the afternoon when I have time." A-Niang replied.

At this time, Xiao Lingran came back from herding cattle, "A-Niang, what are you going to do in the afternoon?" ”

"Oh, I'm going to see the excitement in the afternoon, I heard there are prizes." When A-Niang saw her daughter coming back, she immediately smiled from ear to ear.

"I'm going to see it too!" Xiao Lingran said with a jump.

"Okay, okay, anyway, you're almost done today, just go with your brother, let's go together!"

"Okay—" Xiao Lingran staggered into the house, ready to clean up first.

……

"Everyone come and see, the uncles and aunts in the village, the big brothers and sisters, don't miss it when you pass by - only this once, it's free!"

"Eh, mother, look, this is it." Amu heard the shouting from afar, and hurriedly led his mother and Xiao Lingran over.

"What are you giving here?" A person said the question that everyone wanted to ask, and at first glance, it turned out to be the aunt who sent Yangmei.

"That's a good question, we're sending this today." As he spoke, the merchant brought out a jar of wine.

"This is what we're going to sell somewhere else, authentic plum wine!" The businessman's expression was proud.

"That's it? What did I think! "The people down there were a little disappointed.

"Fellow, it's not right for you to say that, my wine is a tribute wine, and it will be sent to the palace when the time comes, don't talk nonsense here if you don't buy it."

As soon as these words came out, the others began to scramble for the free wine.

"Well, how about I give you a taste first?" As he spoke, the merchant handed out the cups, and each scooped up a spoonful of wine.

"Auntie, I brought a cup, you can taste it." Amu said.

"No, no, you can drink it yourself." The mother said with a smile.

"Would you like to try it, sister?" Amu looked at Xiao Lingran and asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Lingran did not refuse to come.

"No way!" The mother stopped her at once, "What kind of wine the girl's family drinks, leave it for your brother to drink!" She looked at Xiao Lingran and said.
