Chapter Twenty-Six: Have a Smooth Journey
Mu Qing wanted to leave early, but now that he was targeted, he was not in a hurry to leave.
Like the rest of her brothers, she got up every morning to ring the bell, and then the morning class, which was to recite the scriptures, and every time she was indiscriminate.
Then go to the good hall to have a fast meal, called "passing the hall", after breakfast, start to clean the distance, go to the back mountain vegetable field to pull weeds, pick vegetables.
In the afternoon, we went to the creek to fetch water, and it was a long mountain road to walk. And it's the kind of bucket with a pointed bottom, and it's hard to put it down when you're tired halfway.
"Senior brother, I'm so tired, can I take a break?" Mu Qing was carrying two buckets of water, and he had to put his arms flat and carry one in each hand.
"Who made you always run out on weekdays, and I don't know how much to practice, but now I know that I am tired and deserve it." Senior Brother Hui Zhiping looked effortless holding two buckets of water, and turned around and winked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing knows, this is for people in the shadows to hear.
"What's so fun about practicing, it's fun outside..."Mu Qing brought his stubbornness to the extreme.
"Little junior brother, you won't want to sneak out again! If you sneak out again, be careful that the master will punish you. The third senior brother Huide also teased Mu Qing.
"Alas! Little junior brother, this is a mortal heart, haven't you seen someone bring back a little sister? Hahaha..."Fourth Senior Brother Huili couldn't help but tease.
Mu Qing held two wooden barrels in his hands and kicked the fourth senior brother Huili's buttocks: "If you don't speak, you will die!" ”
The fourth senior brother Huili was not angry, and ran away laughing.
Senior Brother Huizhi shook his head helplessly, put the two pokes in one hand, took Mu Qing's bucket with one hand and said, "Let Senior Brother help you carry it!" Don't get tired of your little arms and legs. ”
Mu Qing hurriedly thanked her, she was begging for it: "Thank you, senior brother, it's better to be senior brother." ”
……
In the evening, I also have to recite the mantra of the past three times, and then I hit the bell to end the fatigue of the day with the bell.
Mu Qing found that these senior brothers, all of whom had unique skills, eating, sweeping the floor, picking vegetables, pulling weeds, striking bells, and practicing all the time, just like the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple.
……
Mu Chen has been in the house for two days, and he secretly went to the thatched house, so he couldn't hold it back, but the yogurt and juice taken out by his sister were so delicious, he drank more without holding back.
This morning, my sister gave him a set of skirts, looking at this pink Luo skirt, Mu Chen wanted to cry without tears.
Carrying the hem of his skirt and running towards the thatched house, he just turned a corner and bumped into a person.
Because Mu Chen ran too fast, the force of the collision was too great, so he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.
When he raised his head, he saw Gong Qingcang looking at him indifferently, and Mu Chen shrank his neck in fright.
"Big brother, I didn't mean to," Mu Chen's big eyes blinked, his face was innocent, and tears were about to come out.
If Mu Qing sees it, he will definitely applaud him, this kid is especially good at pretending to be innocent.
Gong Qingcang was unmoved, squatted down with a pull of his robe, and stared at Mu Chen with sharp eyes: "You are Mu Chen." ”
Mu Chen's heart was alarmed, he looked down at his skirt, and then remembered that he was a girl now, he couldn't recognize himself, he must be tempting, his eyes rolled and he cried.
The two legs kicked on the ground, reaching out and rubbing his eyes and crying: "Woo woo... You're the bad guy... You bullied me... Woo woo I'm going to tell my brother, woo woo..."
The corners of Gong Qingcang's mouth twitched, he wanted to test it, but as a result, this child is really timid, how can he feel like he is bullying a child?
Take a closer look, this kid is really in tears, it can't be pretended?
Look around, no one hurry up, if it gets out, he actually cried a child in the palace, does he want to be famous?
……
"Lord, I have found out, and I learned from Huili that Huixian is indeed their junior brother, but this kid often sneaks out, and the little girl is indeed picked up by her from Dahui, Dahui Mountain is not far from Jinan Mountain, and when I came back, I happened to pass through Jinan Mountain. There are many disasters in Dahui Mountain, and there are often abandoned children. Maybe the girl was discarded, and the details are still being investigated. Zi Rat secretly asked the pilgrims who often came to worship the Buddha, and they said that Master Fa Neng did have five apprentices. They didn't find anything special in their room. Ye Zifeng told Gong Qingcang the news he had found.
Gong Qingcang frowned and said nothing, he always felt that something was wrong? But I can't remember it for a while.
In fact, how did Ye Zifeng know that the Master of Maneng originally had five apprentices, and the nearby pilgrims knew about it.
However, a year ago, the little apprentice went up the mountain to play and was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the treatment was ineffective and passed away. Outsiders didn't know about this, and they thought that Master Fa Neng was still five apprentices.
……
Mu Qing returned to the monk's house, Mu Chen told her what happened today, Mu Qing rubbed his head and praised him for being clever, Mu Chen was praised by his sister in his heart.
Walked to the door to check carefully, and when she left, she sprinkled a thin layer of dust at the door, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look closely.
Sure enough, I saw that in addition to the footprints of myself and Mu Chen, there were also a pair of large footprints, which looked like the footprints of an adult man.
You don't have to think about it to know who has come, but fortunately, Mu Qing has hidden all the backpacks, and the packaging boxes that Mu Chen has eaten are also hidden.
This must have been someone who came while Mu Chen was in the thatched house, Mu Qing was even more cautious, and he even opened one eye to sleep.
……
It wasn't until the fourth day that Gong Qingcang said goodbye to the magic master, and a group of people descended the mountain in a mighty way.
After Mu Qing saw them leave, he deliberately stayed for another two days before bidding farewell to the senior brothers and Master Fa Neng and taking Mu Chen to prepare to go down the mountain.
A group of people sent her sister and brother to the gate of the temple, and Master Fa Neng said, "Do you really want to leave?" ”
Mu Qing clasped his hands together and saluted: "Master, the apprentice is also a last resort, I don't know when we will meet this time, thank you for the maintenance of the master, the apprentice will say goodbye." ”
Master Maneng sighed and said, "Alas! Amitabha! Good, good, good! My Buddha is merciful, do not do all evil, do all good, and always do good, although the blessing has not come, but the disaster is far away; Those who do not do good deeds will not be harmed, but the blessing will be far away. ”
Mu Qing thanked: "Thank you for the master's teachings, and the apprentices should remember." ”
Master Fa Neng took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Mu Qingdao: "Huixian, in this bag is a letter written for the master to the Duke of Zhenguo, if you meet him, if he is embarrassed with you, you will hand over this letter to him." He won't embarrass you after seeing it. If he doesn't embarrass you, burn it." ”
Mu Qing took the bag and pinched it, there was no paper in it, it looked like silk, it should be written in silk.
Mu Qing put it in his backpack and said goodbye to them all the way east.
"Senior brother, have a good trip!"
……
There were the voices of several senior brothers behind him, Mu Qing had also established a good friendship with them in the past few days, and several people were really a little reluctant to leave this special junior brother like this.
Mu Qingtou waved his hand without replying.
