Chapter 30: Forward

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily, and such a blizzard was not uncommon for Fu Zhangzhu, who used to live in the north, but for the county near the south, such a blizzard was rare.

Seeing that there was only one color left between heaven and earth, the old nunnery's brows were tightly locked, and the wheat seedlings that had just grown in the field were only afraid that they would freeze to death, and if the harvest in the field was lost, the next year's life would be even more sad. It has become a problem for these people in the nunnery to eat, and now they have to raise two more mouths, and life is even more difficult. Not only that, but Na Shui Jing also regarded Jingci Nunnery as a Puji Hall, and gave free medicine to those who saw a doctor, where could Jingci Nunnery continue to support.

Watching the patients who came to be treated, the old nunnery owner had a fire in her heart, and she decided to find Shui Jing to have a good chat.

This blizzard has been falling for two days in a row, and the overcast sky is full of dark clouds, and there is no sign of stopping.

"This snow is a disaster, but the impact of this disaster is unknown." Zhangzhu stood outside the door, looked at the sky, and said with some solemnity.

Bao Yan also said: "Yes, this blizzard is afraid that many people will be displaced, and then many victims will emerge." When the time comes, I only hope that the relief from above will be effective. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos. ”

Even a maid understands this truth. However, when it comes to disaster relief, Zhangzhu remembers the second cousin of the Xie family, the second cousin is not a military general, but a civil official, and the official residence is four. One year, he was also sent out for disaster relief, and later he was promoted two levels after returning to Beijing because of the disaster relief, but at that time, he happened to meet his uncle who won the battle, and the emperor was happy to reward the Xie family. However, this second cousin had just arrived and his life came to an end, and he died young at the age of twenty-seven when he became ill. The second sister-in-law took a daughter and became an orphan and widow. The second cousin was the smartest and most learned of their generation, but he still didn't live long. However, even if he escaped the death of the twenty-seven-year-old, in another year, the second cousin of the Xie family building will not be able to escape. The second cousin died a year earlier, and now it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, at least not to go through that kind of painful sadness and fear anymore.

"Go and recite a few volumes of scriptures and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the world with peace."

"Oh." Bao Yan listened to Zhangzhu's words very much, and sure enough, he went to the kang table and flipped through a scripture book, and read it sentence by sentence according to the words on it.

Zhangzhu had to pray that this blizzard would not become an obstacle for her to go to Shoufeng.

There was a brazier in the old man's house, and the owner of the nunnery sat by the brazier, accompanied by the water and moon in front of him, and at this time the door opened, and Shuijing walked in, and a thin layer of snow fell on the Guanyin pocket she was wearing. Before entering the door, Shui Jing shook off the snow on his pocket, and then crossed the threshold.

Shui Yue nodded and smiled at Shui Jing: "The wind outside is really blowing, it must be very cold." ”

"Yes, I remember that Zhongyang County has not had such a heavy snow for many years."

The old nunnery owner baked the fire and said, "When I was seven years old, it snowed like this, and it snowed for five days in a row, and many people froze to death. ”

Shui Jing said: "Yes, I have heard people mention the heavy snowfall in the twenty-first year of Ning'an, and it is said that there was a riot later. ”

Shui Yue said on the side: "Will it repeat the mistakes of the past this time?" ”

The old nunnery owner and Shui Jing didn't dare to answer, for the old nunnery owner, Ning'an twenty-one years was a catastrophe in his life, and she became an orphan that winter. It was useless for her to beg the gods, and the damned barbarians took her family with them.

"Master of the nunnery, do you have anything to do with me?"

The old nunnery owner glanced at her and said, "Of course there is something. In recent days, your actions have been too big, causing a lot of inconvenience to our nunnery, and we can't control you if you want to do good, but we also have to think about how much we can afford in the nunnery. The water is pure, we have to live. ”

The old man's words were also expected by Shui Jing, she pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I'm sorry, because of my willfulness, the nunnery master is embarrassed. ”

"It's good that you know, don't forget who took you in the first place, you can't add a burden to us, then I'll be very embarrassed."

"Yes, the nunnery master has taught me the right lesson, and I will pay attention to it."

I didn't expect that Shuijing was easier to communicate than I imagined, which was good and saved a lot of trouble.

"You're a smart man, so I won't say anything superfluous. By the way, you accepted Miss Fu as an apprentice, didn't you? ”

"No, although Miss Fu had this intention before, I didn't agree."

"She's probably a good apprentice, don't you just lack an assistant?"

Shui Jing said: "Miss Fu has no intention of staying with us for a long time, and I can't teach her anything else." ”

"Well, it's not quite your style."

Shui Jing thought that the master of the nunnery was proficient in Buddhism and cultivated to a high level. She hesitated and finally spoke: "Nunnery master, Miss Fu seems to be carrying some pain, that pain deeply binds her, so that she can't untie the knot, I can't cross her through the shallow cultivation, so I still ask the nunnery master to cross her." ”

The old nunnery owner smiled mildly and said, "You think too highly of me. If there is this Fu girl, I am only afraid of ...... Forget it, there's nothing to say, it's a good thing that she doesn't want to stay with us for long. ”

After Shui Jing left, Shui Yue said to the old nunnery: "Isn't that Fu girl just a widow, what pain can she bear." The death of her husband before she got married, this level of pain is nothing. ”

The old nunnery owner said, "How do you know?" Shui Yue didn't understand, but she knew that Fu Zhangzhu was a dead person, why was the person who was already dead still alive? This is the only thing that the old nunnery owner can't understand.

The blizzard finally stopped after three and a half days in a row, and after the heavy snow stopped, everyone in the nunnery, except for the old owner, devoted themselves to the snow removal business. The nearby land is all in the hermitage, but after this snowstorm, those wheat seedlings are afraid that they will not grow up. Lotus was very sad.

"I'm freezing to death, what will we eat next year?"

Bao Yan persuaded on the side: "Maybe it's good to wait for the weather to get warmer, maybe you won't be completely frozen to death." ”

I don't know if the wheat seedlings will grow into wheat in the future, but the young seedlings that have just been planted in the vegetable field are not good, and Zhangzhu took the hoe and the water master and they dug the ground again, ready to plant something again.

"Master, we've got a thief in the nunnery!" Fa Qing's voice came.

Shui Hua Shi was taken aback, into the thief? She hurriedly asked, "Where is the thief, have you caught it?" What did we lose? ”

Fa Qingdao said: "There are still ten steamed buns left in the morning, all of which are gone." ”

It turned out that I lost my steamed buns.

"Did the nearby villagers come to the nunnery because they had nothing to eat?"

Shui Hua said: "I don't know, but we don't have much food, so we must not take it lightly." ”
