17. Mutual understanding
You are not, the little fat man is also a person who is attached to his homeland, he went around and chose several temples, and finally chose Huangjue Temple not far from his home and became a monk.
When he first came to Huangjue Temple, the little fat man felt that it was very fun to be in the temple, but after a few days, he felt very bored.
These monks meditate every day, eat fasting and worship the Buddha, and they are completely industrious and do not distinguish between the four bodies and the five grains.
Such a big temple, so many mouths, eating, drinking, and Lazar, someone has to take care of it.
As a result, those who had just entered the temple had to bear the burden of life.
Every day it was just dawn.
The little fat man had to fetch water, then he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and then he had to chop wood, and then he had to wash the clothes for his brothers and uncles.
The most infuriating thing is that in addition to these most basic chores, he also has to work as a cleaner, a storekeeper, an oiler, and constantly wipe the golden Buddha.
Every night, the little fat man was so tired that his back hurt, but his brothers and uncles did not understand him at all, but spoke ill of him and did not give him a good look.
Huangjue Temple's wine and meat style has always wanted to cover up, especially those monks who became monks earlier, when they eat meat and drink, there is basically nothing to do with the little fat man?
The only right of the little fat man is to smell the smell of meat from a distance.
Whenever there is a dead night, the little fat man will silently shed tears, thinking of his relatives who died one by one.
In fact, he misses his parents in his previous life more, and he still wants to go back to his previous life and live a well-off life.
But now that all of that is gone.
Although the days of the temple are not good, however, the little fat man is not willing to go at all, although it is a little hard here, at least he can eat well, although the senior brothers often bully him, but, compared with the landlord Liu De, the group of bald donkeys in front of him is much better.
For a 17-year-old boy, as long as he can eat well, it doesn't matter if he works hard.
However, this painful and happy life. It had just lasted for more than three months, and it came to an abrupt end.
It turned out that due to the continuous drought in the Huai River area, many squires were reluctant to come to the temple to give alms, and the elders and monks of Huangjue Temple had to let the disciples in the temple go out by themselves.
When people are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and the little fat man is naturally an unlucky person.
Because he was also bullied by everyone in the process of turning into a relationship.
Because, there are unspoken rules in all walks of life.
Even if it is a fate, just like the underworld collects protection money, everyone has their own sphere of influence.
Due to the large number of monks in the temple, whoever has a higher status, the area where he goes out to make a relationship is relatively richer, who has a better relationship with the big monks above, and who goes out to the place where the relationship is relatively denser.
In the same way, the little novice who does not have any background in the temple, and the place where he goes out to make a fortune is those barren places, poor and remote places!
The little fat man has just come to the temple for more than three months, and he is one of those little novices who has no backstage, and one of them, the place where he goes out to make a fortune, is naturally a place with bad conditions.
The location where the little fat man was assigned was in Huaixi, that is, Hubei, Anhui and Henan, which was originally the hardest hit area of the drought and locust plague, and the ordinary people were already struggling on the death line.
However, Lady Luck really began to favor the little fat man from this moment.
In the years of turning around, the little fat man's thinking has gradually matured a lot.
He wandered and begged for food, and he didn't know how many white eyes he had suffered, and he didn't know how many bullies he had beaten.
The boy had gold under his knees.
It is said that the little fat man can't stand this kind of shame, but he has to make his ears when he is ready to fly.
If he hadn't knocked on the door of an ordinary peasant or begged for alms, he would have starved to death.
However, during these difficult years, the little fat man's horizons were much broader, he learned about the geography, mountains, customs and customs of Huaixi, and also met many friends in his life.
It was during this time that he came into contact with a new religion, which is said to have been transmitted from Persia, and the people of Buyi called him Mingjiao.
The teachings of Mingjiao are to preach that people should believe in the future, that difficulties are only temporary, and that light is eternal.
On the one hand, in the process of begging, he honed the physical fitness of the little fat man, and on the other hand, it may also be the teachings of Mingjiao, which made him pour a bowl of chicken soup for the soul from his heart.
The little fat man gradually transformed from a weak big boy to a strong and resolute big man.
If you say that before he went out to make a relationship, the little fat man was still a stupid boy who was a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, but after more than three years of his career, his inner thoughts have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Thinking determines the way out.
For many people, when they think of a good idea, they often just keep it in words and don't put it into action.
However, the little fat man Zhu Chongba is not, he is a person with big ambitions.
He felt that living this life of begging was equivalent to walking the dead, and it was also a point of no return.
Now, he is still young, his legs and feet are also very neat, and he can wander dozens of miles in all directions, begging for half a nest and a bowl of millet porridge.
What should I do if I am old and my health is no longer good?
You can't always look at other people's steamed buns and say:
Come to the bowl.
You have to make a plan for your life.
This time, after returning to Huangjue Temple.
Just had a few days off.
The little fat man went out again.
The purpose of his going out this time is not simply to make a relationship, but to go out and go a little farther and have more life knowledge.
Since then, the place where he ran has become farther and farther, and the farthest time he wandered, he also ran to the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo regions.
For the next seven or eight years.
The corruption and incompetence of the Great Yuan court, coupled with natural and man-made disasters.
By the time of the 11th year of Zhizheng, the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Great Yuan Empire finally did not have a few happy days.
Because, in the first year.
The Yellow River has flooded many times.
Several provinces along the way.
Victims were displaced.
The government of the Yuan Dynasty forcibly conscripted 800,000 migrant workers for several years in a row to build the Yellow River embankment, especially in the 11th year of Zheng, the number of migrant workers recruited and transferred increased to 1.3 million, which made the common people complain and complain.
The common people really can't survive anymore.
The entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Huai River in a radius of several hundred kilometers, are full of wandering hungry people.
The people who fled in various places, instigated by some opportunists, gradually developed into armed forces.
Han Shantong of Fuyang, as the first person to eat crabs, was caught in half by the hairy crab of the Yuan Dynasty before he had time to taste it.
The rebel army was soon exterminated by the Yuan Dynasty government.
