Chapter 24: Mother
I didn't ask anything about the medical skills of the palm beads. After the evening class that night, Shui Jing still called Zhangzhu to help.
As soon as Zhangzhu sat down, Shui Jing let her stretch out her hand, and she took the pulse.
"At present, your body has not recovered, so you should stay in the nunnery and recuperate. Today you suffered. ”
Zhangzhu didn't want to stay in the nunnery all day to eat and drink, and today she participated in two healings, at least she felt that her life still had some meaning.
"Mrs. Shi, I want to practice medicine with you, if there is anything that can help, please Mrs. Shi just speak."
"Yes, but not in a hurry. You take care of your body first. In addition, I have a collection of medical books here, if you are interested, please feel free to pick them up. ”
Palm beads said: "Yes." ”
Shui Jing gave Zhangzhu a bottle of medicine: "This is my own pill, you can take it and eat it, this medicine does not cure diseases, but it can help you regulate your body and allow you to recover sooner." ”
When I went out to see a doctor today, the two families did not take any water, and the mother's family gave Shuijing a large piece of brown sugar, and she accepted it, and she didn't ask for anything else. The water purifier is completely doing good, she has no medical fees, and she has not even taken the medicine money. How did she get the medicine in this room? Jingci Nunnery is poor, and everyone is doing penance.
"Master, you are a cultivator, and you have no other financial resources, so it is already very difficult to buy all these medicines. You don't have any money for consultation or medicine today, do you? ”
Shui Jing glanced at the palm beads and said indifferently: "Money is nothing but things outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, it doesn't mean much." I'm just using my own strength to help others, which can be regarded as a kind of practice. ”
The water purifier said so calmly, without a trace of falsehood, the palm bead secretly said that the water purification master can look at those things outside the body so lightly, but she can't, she needs money, she needs a lot of money. As long as you have money, you can do things conveniently.
"Mrs. Shi, can you accept me as an apprentice?" Zhangzhu raised his eyes and looked firmly at Master Shuijing.
Shui Jing also looked at Zhangzhu, she thought for a moment, and then readily rejected Zhangzhu's request: "No, I can't cross you." ”
"I just want to study medicine with Shitai." Zhangzhu didn't think about becoming a monk.
Shui Jing said again: "I'm afraid that there are not many things I can teach you, you are obviously more experienced than me in today's maternity affairs." I can't be your master. ”
"Master Tai......" Zhangzhu pleaded.
"There's no need to talk about it." Shui Jing insisted that she couldn't cross Miss Fu, and she couldn't teach Miss Fu anything.
Zhangzhu also said: "Actually, it's not just medical skills, there are many other things, maybe I can find the direction and answer from Shitai." ”
Shui Jing heard this, she looked at Zhangzhu again, Zhangzhu's face was cold, and she couldn't see any joy or sorrow, but her eyes were full of confusion.
Fu Zhangzhu is a widow, and now he has been abandoned by his mother's family and has become a helpless orphan. To say that the life experience is really pitiful, but everyone here, including the owner of the nunnery, no one has a bitter past behind them. Shui Jing did not untie the palm beads, and some outsiders couldn't untie them no matter how hard they tried.
"Miss Fu, what is the avenue you are pursuing?"
"Big ...... Boulevard? What about Shitai? ”
Shui Jing replied, "Kuanren." ”
"Do you have to be lenient with your enemies?" Zhangzhu hurriedly asked.
Shui Jing said: "The so-called enemy is just the opposite of himself, and his orientation is different. Forgiveness is a trait that a practitioner must possess. Miss Fu, you haven't answered my words yet. ”
"The path I'm pursuing is probably fairness." The Xie family has unjustly killed so many people, which is unfair to Zhangzhu, and what she diligently pursues is just fairness.
Shui Jing couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhangzhu's words: "If I want to say that the leniency I hold is too idealistic, then the fairness held by Miss Fu is even more foolish." There is no fairness in this world. For example, life, these lives are divided into high and low from the first birth, and the same people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. And how can it be fair? ”
Zhangzhu was silent when he heard such words, and because it was unfair, the Xie family lost so many lives in vain.
"But Master, you haven't forgotten the Buddhists' saying that all beings are equal, have you?"
Shui Jing was silent, there was a paradox in what she saw, her experience, and the teachings she believed, and because of the paradox, she was puzzled, so that she could not attain a higher way, and she could only be redeemed by practicing medicine.
Seeing that Shui Jing couldn't answer, Zhangzhu didn't embarrass the benevolent teacher in front of her. Before returning to her dormitory, she borrowed a book from Mrs. Purifier.
This discussion about each other's avenues ended with each other's disapproval of each other's pursuits. Fu Zhangzhu is still the same Fu Zhangzhu as before. She took the medicine given by Master Shuijing, and her vitality was gradually recovering. She had to get up as soon as possible, her weak body could only be a burden.
When the wound was not so painful, even if it was pulled, it would not rush to obvious pain, so she followed Faqing to do some hard work appropriately. For example, she helps dig the soil, plant, or chop firewood, harvest, etc., and when she has more strength, she will try to carry water.
Bao Yan was a little puzzled: "Girl, do you also want to do penance?" ”
Zhangzhu just said lightly: "Life is originally an ascetic, you can't be knocked down by yourself, it doesn't matter if you fall occasionally, you have to be able to stand up." ”
Bao Yan was even more puzzled, her girl was really different from before, as if she had changed people.
Zhangzhu tries to slowly recover his strength through some physical work, and can also make his body stronger. When her body was almost recovered, Zhangzhu still asked Mrs. Shui Jing that she was willing to follow Mrs. Shui Jing down the mountain to treat people.
Multiple helpers are always good, not to mention that the role of palm beads is not just as simple as helpers, palm beads are good at treating women's diseases, and water purifiers are too good at some other incurable diseases, and the two of them are improving each other.
Zhangzhu wanted to worship Shui Jing as a teacher to learn medical skills, but the master did not agree that time, and later thought that she would not stay here for too long, so he broke off the idea of continuing to apprentice. Now I follow the water purification master down the mountain to practice medicine, go to the village and visit the household, and see many experiences that I have not had before.
In the blink of an eye, she has been coming to Jingci'an for more than half a year, and her body has recovered no major problems, and her strength has recovered a lot. This body has basically adapted.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Zhangzhu took a stick and made a gesture, although the wound was healed, but the strength was still small after all, compared to Xie Ruoyi's physical fitness since she was a child, and her dexterity had also decreased. The force is lower than before, but it is enough for a girl to protect herself.
Now that my body has recovered, what should I do next?
But she doesn't have any money in her hands, no matter what she plans, no money can support her forward.
