Chapter 221: Half-Raw Melon

Returning from the battlefield inexplicably, it is difficult to sleep at night, and there is a strange disease that is almost "evil", no matter how you look at it, it has a bit of a traumatic stress disorder PS meaning.

After a long while, Master Xuyun came to hear from him, and he finally finished solving the matter at hand.

Although Zeng Jiuyan still wanted to continue chatting with Bai Yi, as soon as he heard that the master was coming, he was afraid that Li Fengyu would be plotting to mess around outside for a while, so he got up and said goodbye to Bai Ling's brothers and sisters.

"Forget it, it just so happens that one of our friends has also gone missing, so let's go out and look for him now." Zeng Jiuyan arched his hand and said, "Let me stay and listen to the Dharma sermon, it's better to take a knife and give me a good time." ”

"Jiuyan, be cautious." Zhang Jingzhen reminded in a whisper behind him, "This is the temple after all."

Zeng Jiuyan covered his mouth, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it." ”

He looked at Bai Yi, "When are you free on weekdays, I'll go to the Tai Hospital to play with you!" ”

Bai Yi laughed, "Don't come, the work in the hospital is so heavy, I got Bai Ling's letter today, so it's easy to change shifts and sneak out of a trip, and I take a break every fifteen or two days every new year on weekdays, and I stay at home and am too lazy to go out." ”

"What's so fun about staying home!" Zeng Jiuyan waved his hand and looked at Bai Ling, "What about you?" Are you also free on the fifteenth day of junior high school? ”

"yes, it's fine." Bai Ling replied, "It depends on whether the concubine will allow me to take leave, but when I am twenty or twenty-two this month, I have to go to the Tai Hospital to start lecturing."

"Okay!" Zeng Jiuyan was very happy, and directly interrupted Bai Ling's words, "Lecturing is a chore, it's not good to rest and have fun, how can people stand it all the time?" ”

Bai Ling really wanted to remind the little marquis in front of him to see that Anhu's five-day break had just passed. For the ancients, who could only rest for two days a month, this was already a long golden holiday.

Zhang Jingzhen obviously thought of this as well, and couldn't help but laugh softly.

"On the fifteenth day of this month, I will take you to see the cruise ship on the west side of Anhu," Zeng Jiuyan patted Bai Yi on the shoulder without saying anything, "Since Bai Ling is going to prepare for a lecture, I will see if there is time when the time comes, you must come!" ”

β€œβ€

Bai Yi's expression was confused, what misunderstanding did you have about me? I'm very busy, too!

Bai Ling sighed lightly, "Little Hou Ye, go and find the friend you lost, he has been alone for so long, maybe he is in a hurry." ”

"No, we were in a hurry at first," Zeng Jiuyan said with a smile, "but after thinking about it, after all, it's such a big person, and it's okay to go around by yourself." ”

Chen Yicong, who walked to the north gate of Donglin Temple, sneezed violently at this time.

After Xuyun came, the brothers and sisters of the Bai family all saluted respectfully, and several people sat on the ground in the middle of the tea room, and the young monks came to make tea.

The aroma of tea gradually surged, and this wave of aroma reminded her of the new tea she tasted in the Chengqian Palace. Looking at the movements of the tea maker and the silver utensils, she suddenly felt that this place was really full of wealth.

Bai Ling came this time, one is to visit the truth of the West Guest House, and the other is to verify the grievances in Qinglian's mouth.

Now that she has seen the void clouds, she does not intend to let go of the opportunity to seek verification from here. Bai Ling first talked about his own prayer for the concubine in the imperial garden, and then talked about the experience of the mind during this period of time, during which he attracted several side eyes from Master Xuyun, quite a little surprised and full of admiration, and then frequently praised Bai Ling for his own spirituality in the comprehension of Buddhism, and he is really a person with Buddha fate.

If he had met such a kind old abbot on weekdays, Bai Ling would probably have accepted this kindness.

It's just that Qinglian's story is preconceived, coupled with the wealth and nobility revealed in Donglin Temple, Xuyun's vanity and praise from beginning to end have not entered Bai Ling's ears.

Bai Ling smiled lightly, lowered his head to drink tea, and suddenly covered his stomach with a little discomfort.

"What's wrong with the little benefactor?"

Bai Ling smiled a little embarrassedly, "In the temple, is there still a meal today?" I went out too early in the morning and didn't have time to eat. ”

Xuyun laughed, stretched out his hand to summon the little monk who was waiting at the door, whispered a few words to him, and then stood up on the low table, signaling Bai Ling and Bai Yi to follow him out.

Today's Donglin Temple dining hall is not a person, the little monk who trotted over before has come to report the letter, and when Bai Ling they arrived, the fire has risen in the stove, and after a while, two dishes of side dishes and red beans and rice were served, "Vegetarian assorted and half raw melon, the donor uses it slowly." ”

In the vegetarian mix, the carrot and mushroom winter bamboo shoots were cut into thin strips, and it seemed that some spinach and daylily were mixed in it, and some sesame oil was drizzled.

Looking at another plate of half-raw melons, Bai Yi frowned slightly, "Isn't this just fried bitter melon?" ”

Xuyun sighed, looked at the plate of side dishes, and said softly, "Half-raw melon, this is the name that my junior brother who died in the West Guest House yesterday came up with." ”

Bai Yi tasted it again, "I feel that this bitter gourd has not been processed enough, and the bitterness is too heavy." ”

Xuyun laughed, "This is the essence of the half-raw melon, donor." If a person tastes bitter gourd, half of his life will pass. ”

This sentence-like judgment made Bai Ling suddenly stop her chopsticks, although she had never seen this Master Hui Shi, but today's few small things were spliced together, and this person's appearance suddenly came alive in Bai Ling's heart.

Isn't a person who travels in all directions and is so trusted by the people Bai Shijun who doesn't marry a wife and has no children? No, he should live a much more transparent life than Bai Shijun, and it can be seen from the way he left the string of Buddhist beads to General Shen Lao that it is a pity that he has never heard the name of this person before, otherwise, I really want to get to know him.

Bai Ling put down his chopsticks, folded his hands, and whispered to the fried bitter gourd in front of him, "Master go all the way." ”

She has never eaten bitter melon, but after listening to Fang Cai's words, she still reluctantly tasted a few pieces, and when the bitterness that penetrated the core of her tongue stirred her to doubt that life was really reluctant.

Xuyun smiled again, "Bai Si Yao doesn't like to eat at an age, so don't be reluctant. ”

Is it small?

Actually, it's not small.

If you count the seven years she has been here, she is already thirty-three years old, thirty-three years old, can she count the first half of her life?

But maybe age doesn't count that way.

Bai Ling suddenly remembered the story of the Scottish fairy tale Peter Pan, who had been living in Neverland for many years, but he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Therefore, some people later used the term "Peter Pan syndrome" to describe those adults who do not want to grow up, and if they do not solve the new problems that come to life one after another, aging will not bring any mental maturity.

She had lived to be twenty-six years old, and she had experienced the pain of twenty-six years old, so her mind slowly grew to twenty-six.

If she is always traveling, always spending her girlhood in all kinds of bodies, maybe she will be like Peter Pan, not only physically, but also mentally will never grow old.

Then she will probably never taste this bitter melon, but is this a good thing or a bad thing?

After eating the fast, Bai Ling put the bowl and said softly, "Just now, my brother and I saw that a lot of vegetable gardens have been cultivated in the back mountain, are those all taken care of by the masters in the temple?" ”

"Exactly." Xuyun replied.

"I wonder if the master will be able to take the two of us to have a look." Bai Ling said with a smile......
