This was originally a wasteland, but after weeding and ploughing the ground, vegetables were finally planted with the efforts of the four masters and apprentices. Otherwise, you can only drink white porridge every day, and you can't even see a little vegetable leaf.

Once, when Ye Feng saw the pumpkin seeds drying in the dustpan, he wanted to secretly grab a few to relieve his hunger, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, before it was enough, Xue Dan didn't know where it floated out and coughed lightly.

So when he passed by the place where the pumpkin seeds were dried this time, Ye Feng didn't even look at it, otherwise Yin Ping would say to him again, "This is used to make seeds".

Obviously they are both young people, I really don't know why these two people can be so self-disciplined and volunteer to act as the eyes of the old monk.

These vegetables are the most common cabbage, and it is estimated that they should be called woad in this time and space. In addition, there are some greens or something, naturally, and there are one or two things that Ye Feng doesn't recognize.

It's just that the function of these dishes is to cook them with porridge, and there is no other purpose. Ye Feng sometimes felt that he was afraid that he would have to drink all the porridge in this life.

So he secretly swore that when he went out in the future, the first thing he would do was to eat fragrant and spicy food, and never drink porridge again.

After planting vegetables and watering, I began to go to the meditation room to "study" again. In fact, learning is just to say it nicely, and in layman's terms, it is to recite the scriptures.

When he first came over, Ye Feng always hoped that he could take a hot bath after labor, and even simply take a shower. After all, although the weather is not hot now, it is still sweaty and uncomfortable after labor.

And now, he realized how naïve his ideas were.

Bathe? Yes, but you can only pick up a bucket of water and wash it in the latrine. The point is that there is no sprinkler head, so you can only wet the towel and wipe it on your body. And there is no shower gel, and there is no soap.

In its place, there is a strange pancreas.

Just this pancreas, Ye Feng felt that there must be something wrong with this old monk. Don't tell him he can make his own soap.

So, I didn't even think about it anymore. It's just that I patted the dust all over my body, and went on a "date" with those scriptures that I couldn't understand at all.

In the morning, I listened to Master's lectures, and now I read by myself.

After a year, he really didn't know what he had learned. Originally, I wanted to see what the world is like from the book, which dynasty and generation, what human customs and things are, and so on.

It's a pity that these are all scriptures, and there is nothing but the essence of Buddhism.

Think about it, the monks pay attention to the four major emptiness, away from the red dust, and their knowledge mainly comes from Buddhist scriptures.

If there is everything in the Buddhist scriptures, then how can the monks achieve the four major emptiness?

Therefore, people like Ye Feng don't like Buddhist scriptures. It is conceivable to let a person like him, who is accustomed to seeing the world of flowers, read Buddhist scriptures and recognize it from his heart.

His heart is not yet like ashes, how can he comprehend it?

He thinks he has the world in mind and has a lot to do. He will continue to volunteer to help abducted children and women find their way home.

He also wants to help others help themselves and help him find his biological parents.

However, reading Buddhist scriptures is not without gain.

Some classic Buddhist scripture stories, he finally knew the source. For example, it was short-lived, only for Vetha; For another example, at the Lingshan meeting, the Buddha smiled at the public case...... These are also the only things that Ye Feng is interested in and can remember.

For Yin Ping and Xue Dan, these are all golden rules, because no matter which passage the master says at will, they can naturally pick it up; But for Ye Feng, this is just a story, the truth needs to be verified, and that's all.

Regarding Ye Feng's carelessness, the master didn't care at all at all.

His purpose was not to train a few people into some kind of high monks, not to mention, even if he wanted to focus on cultivating, this person would not be Ye Feng, but Xue Dan or Yin Ping.

For a child like Ye Feng, he knew in his heart that this temple would not be able to close him sooner or later. It's just that. The time has not yet come, he just wants to go with the flow.

And the master doesn't care anymore, Yin Ping is naturally too lazy to care. As for Xue Dan, this is not his business at all, and of course he will not care.

But this is not surprising.

Many times, the beliefs you worship and fight for all your life may be worthless in the eyes of others. Didn't someone say that the honey of A, the arsenic of B.

I have to say that the differences between people and people really start with values in many cases.

After class, after a short rest, several people began to chop wood.

The firewood had been cut back from the forest a few days ago, and it was almost dry by now. A few people took small axes and began to chop. Three and a half sizes, some of them have strength.

While chopping wood, Ye Feng wondered, how did this old monk avoid his tracking and contact the outside world?

Could it be that I forgot this memory?

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said to Yin Ping: "Erping, have you ever seen Master go down the mountain?" "I think Yin Ping and Xue Dan know. And Yin Ping has a little friendship with himself in the end.

Without thinking about it, Yin Ping said, "No, why did you think to ask this?" ”

Seeing that Xue Dan was chopping wood seriously on the other side, and he shouldn't have heard or cared about what they were talking about, Ye Feng continued: "You think, Master must have gone down the mountain." Otherwise, where did the rice we eat come from? Also, you see, this little axe can't be conjured out of thin air, right? By the way, and the pancreas for bathing...... You say, don't you? ”

"Master is in the temple every day, and Xue Dan and I have never seen him go out." Although he was also interested in the question that Ye Feng said, he really had never seen Master go down the mountain.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was very disappointed. Even an "old man" like Yin Ping has never seen it, so Xue Dan may not have seen it, so don't ask.

It seems that it will take a lot of effort to get out of here.

"Then you didn't think about going out?" After a while, Ye Feng asked again. This time, Yin Ping was stunned.

Strictly speaking, he hadn't thought about it.

Get out? Where to go?

"I don't know, isn't it good to say like this now?" Yin Ping asked rhetorically.

Well, Ye Feng admitted, he failed again. A person who doesn't even know the world, but only knows what is in front of him, can he convince the other party to follow him on an adventure?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's mood suddenly became worse, and he began to work hard, venting his dissatisfaction on those firewoods, and chopping hard.

Yin Ping thought that Ye Feng had figured it out and began to work hard. It's better to do that than to react negatively. He always felt that Master and Xue Dan were a little dissatisfied with Ye Feng.

After chopping firewood, Ye Feng went to the backyard of the temple alone, where he sat in a daze. Of course, this is what Yin Ping and a few of them saw. In fact, Ye Feng was there planning an escape route.

If he wants to stay here for the rest of his life, he will die of death.

Finally staying up until the sky was getting darker, coupled with the protest of his stomach rumbling, Ye Feng knew that he could finally have dinner.

Meditation and meditation after dinner were relatively easy for Ye Feng. First, you can think about some of your own things, miss the past, and think about how to go next.

No matter how bad it is, he can still sleep--- he can now be able to sleep without being noticed, and just sit with his back straight and sleep.

When I first came, I was very impetuous, and when I closed my eyes, I thought about some messy things, and the more I thought about it, the more sad I became. Gradually, he learned that this was useless, and he was tormented. Gradually, I began to think about the way forward. From the initial confusion, to the gradual clarity, and then to the current firmness.

He knew that he would never live here like this for the rest of his life. In his Ye Feng's life, not to mention that he must have a career, he should not always be by the side of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

It seemed that after a long time, Ye Feng opened his eyes.

There was a sound around him, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, Yin Ping and Xue Dan had already gone out with their things. Sure enough, it was pitch black outside, and it was already bedtime.

Ye Feng once again admired his two roommates, did they have a clock built into their heads? And it's a bell that never goes wrong!

In modern times, Xue Dan may really be suitable for a military camp - who doesn't like such a self-disciplined person who obeys and upholds the rules everywhere?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng suddenly thought that there must be a military camp in this time and space. Well, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely suggest that he go to the barracks, and maybe there will be something else - if he listens to his own advice.

While thinking wildly, Ye Feng fell asleep on his pillow. He finally lay down in bed, which also heralded the end of the day.

In his dream, he dreamed again that he had returned to the place he had dreamed of going back to for half a year, the small apartment he had rented.

He quickly cleaned the house, wiped the table with a rag, watered the pothos that had not been watered for half a year, fertilized the orchids whose leaf tips had yellowed due to lack of fertilizer, and cut off the withered parts of the leaf tips.

After doing this, I washed the cheap but practical electric smoker, poured water into it, squeezed three drops of my favorite orange blossom essential oil into it, and plugged it in...... He finally lay down on his little bed, and the room was filled with the scent of orange blossoms.

Finally, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

This smile is so warm, so beautiful, so contagious, even though no one can see it in this dark night.

The dream has finally come true, whether in a dream or not.

That night, he slept especially peacefully.

The next morning, Ye Feng woke up regularly. Seeing that it was dark in the room, and Xue Dan and Yin Ping hadn't gotten up yet, Ye Feng suddenly felt relieved.

Thinking about the sweet dream last night, Ye Feng sat up from the bed all of a sudden, quickly got dressed and began to wash. Finally, one day, he can also get up on time and wait for his two friends after everything is ready.

Instead of waiting for him every time like before.

He also hated the behavior of causing them to be punished together because he was late, and it was not that he was unwilling to change, but he thought that his behavior could be exchanged for the master's reflection.

Logically speaking, when a manager sees that his subordinates are deliberately against him, or behave negatively, and resist softly everywhere, he should conduct self-reflection, or talk to the person concerned.

It's just that, now it seems, this is impossible. Because the old monk didn't seem to care about anything, as long as the three of them showed up every day.

After Ye Feng washed up, Xue Dan and Yin Ping got up and started washing. Regarding Ye Feng's abnormality, Xue Dan just glanced at Ye Feng a few more times, and then began to do his own thing.

Yin Ping, stepped forward and patted Ye Feng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why did you get up so early today?" ”

Ye Feng said: "I went to bed early last night, so I naturally woke up early in the morning." Go wash up, and if you're late today, you can't blame me. ”

And just like that, the repetitive life begins again.

It's just that after the morning class and breakfast, the monk called a few people to him and said, "Go down and prepare, and we will go into the mountains to chop wood in a while." ”

When they all dispersed, they went into the firewood room to get the axe, and then followed the monk to the woods to cut wood. Opening the back door, the master and apprentice walked towards the depths of the forest.

Last time I followed my master to chop wood, Ye Feng also paid attention to this road. It's just that the road seems to be in the middle of the jungle, without any references, and it is not known where it leads. Anyway, no matter how Ye Feng used what he had learned to discern, he couldn't draw any useful conclusions.

However, since he had another chance to come out, he naturally had to brace his spirit to observe and prepare for his escape in the future.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that he doesn't need to run away at all, his opportunity will come soon. And this observation is indeed very useful.

It's only mid-February, so most of the trees in the forest haven't budded yet. It's not easy to tell which branches are dead and which are alive, because they all look the same.

If the master didn't follow, Ye Feng would be able to cut it indiscriminately. Anyway, it's all firewood, whether it's dry or wet, take it back and put it in the yard, but it can be burned in ten days.

But his master said that everything has a spirit, so even if he chops wood, he can only chop dry branches and go back.

In this regard, once when he was away, Ye Feng said to Yin Ping: "It's just that he is hypocritical, isn't it just firewood, and he has to divide the dry branches or not." Don't eat vegetables if you have the ability, that dish also has life. ”

Who knows, before Yin Ping answered, Xue Dan, who was standing next to him, heard it, so he retorted: "You didn't listen carefully when Master preached, but now you are saying something ignorant here, it's really ......."

Xue Dan hadn't learned to swear people, and he probably couldn't learn it, so he was stuck in the real sentence.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was not annoyed, feeling that it was rare for this nerd to talk so much in one breath, it was really rare, so he asked with a smile: "I really didn't listen carefully when Master was preaching, it was because I didn't like to listen to these things. If you study carefully, then you can tell me why you can only cut dry branches when you cut wood, but when you eat vegetables, you have to cut them when the vegetables are fresh? ”

Ye Feng just wanted to tease Xue Dan, because this question was difficult to answer. Therefore, even if Xue Dan didn't answer anything, Ye Feng wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

However, I heard Xue Dan reply: "All sentient beings and the like, if they are oviparous, if they are viviparous, if they are wet, if they are incarnated...... The appearance of people, the appearance of all beings, and the appearance of the long-lived, that is, non-bodhisattvas. ”

Ye Feng had a headache when he heard the Buddhist scriptures, so when Xue Dan finished reading, he said expressionlessly: "You are chanting the scriptures, I don't understand." ”

Xue Dan didn't think about how to explain it in words that Ye Feng could understand, but Yin Ping was serious, and wanted to relieve Xue Dan, so after thinking about it, he said: "If the monks don't eat meat, it doesn't mean that flowers and plants are lifeless......"

When Ye Feng heard this, he almost collapsed. He just wanted to talk about the master's gossip, but he didn't know that these two people were so serious that they poured out everything they had learned to explain to him.

Since then, even in front of Yin Ping, Ye Feng has become restrained, and he no longer dares to publicly accuse the monk of not being right.

Seeing that several people were chopping wood very seriously, Ye Feng raised the cloth bag in his hand towards the two of them and said, "You guys continue to chop, I'll go over there to pick up some fungi." It had rained the night before, so I think it's a lot. By the way, you don't have to wait for me, I want to pick up more mushrooms, and the porridge will taste better. ”

Ye Feng knew that every time they cut wood, they had to cut it for more than an hour. Just come back within this time.

He knew in his heart that it was impossible for several people not to wait for him, and they didn't come out together and go back together. Therefore, this is just a vain statement, just in case, to make an excuse for yourself.

Moreover, Ye Feng's words can't stand scrutiny at all. After all, this season, where do the mushrooms come from?

However, even Xue Dan did not object, and Ye Feng didn't know why.

In this way, Ye Feng took the cloth bag and looked at the position of the sun, Ye Feng cautiously walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

After adjusting his position with the sun as a reference, Ye Feng simply argued according to the method of "going up to the north and going down to the south, left to the west, and right to the east".

Having made a difference, he walked in each direction. As a result, there is no end in sight to the frustrated discovery.

In this way, the forest is very large.

But it also shows that even if you run away in the future, you can't go in this direction.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Ye Feng carefully began to look for things in the forest. In this search, he really found some food.

The first is the fungus. He didn't know the trees growing in this forest, but the fungus was non-poisonous. If you run away in the future, you will inevitably spend the night in the woods.

So, what to eat when the time comes?

Although this fungus is not hungry, it is better than not eating at all. What's more, this fungus is relatively lightweight, very easy to carry, and maybe it can really be satisfying at a critical moment.

So, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he picked a lot at once.

The second is the bird's nest, and he finds many along the way. I don't know what kind of bird actually started laying eggs in this season. After digging twenty or thirty nests, he got twenty eggs.

Seeing that there was no one around, he smashed one of them and ate it raw. It was the first time he had eaten meat in more than a year since he came to this plane.

Feeling that it was not enjoyable, he knocked it into his mouth again.

Then there's a fruit that looks a bit like a kiwi. However, this is supposed to be the fruit of last year, and at the moment there are still some hanging on the trees, which are basically dry.

Ye Feng picked one and identified it carefully, looked at the tree again, and felt that it was a wild kiwi nine times out of ten. He graduated from an agricultural university, and he still has this basic common sense.

After thinking about it, I picked some of them, and I thought it was an alternative fruit.

In this way, when the cloth bag was almost full, Ye Feng began to walk back.

I have to say that his time estimate is very good, and when he goes back, he has already chopped enough firewood. Xue Dan and Master had already begun to carry firewood back, and only Yin Ping was waiting for him in place.

It seems that the old monk still doesn't worry about him, afraid that he will run away.

It's just that no one came to look for him, and he was very sure that Ye Feng would not dare to escape easily. Also, with such a large area of primeval forest, a child about ten years old may not be able to escape.

Seeing that Ye Feng was back, Yin Ping stepped forward and said, "Why have you been gone for so long?" What is this, swarthy. ”

Ye Feng put the dried kiwi fruit and bird eggs at the bottom, so Yin Ping could only see the dried fungus.

"I don't know what it is. I didn't pick up mushrooms, so I picked up some of this and came back. When you say that, I think this thing is weird. It's okay, I'll just throw it away when I get back. ”

He won't throw it away, it's the rations he had during his escape.

When I get back, it would be perfect if I could steal a little more salt and hide it. It's just that the salt was hidden by his master, and he didn't see it once.

However, when the porridge is boiled, there will be a taste of salt, indicating that there must be salt in the temple.

In this way, Ye Feng and Yin Ping began to carry firewood back.

When carrying firewood, Ye Feng had an extra heart, and carefully sandwiched the cloth bag in the middle of the firewood, if he didn't pay attention to it, he wouldn't be able to find it.

On the way back to the temple, I met Xue Dan and Master who had returned.

Seeing that Ye Feng and Yin Ping were obediently carrying firewood, neither of them spoke, and continued to walk towards the pile of firewood. It's a bit too much today, and I need to move it for at least half an hour.

When he returned to the temple and arrived at the firewood room, he saw Yin Ping standing waiting for him, and after thinking about it, Ye Feng said, "I still have to go to the latrine, you go to carry firewood first." I think I'll cut a lot today, so I'll have to go a little faster. Don't worry, I won't be lazy, I'll catch up when I go to the latrine. ”

Yin Ping thought about it, Ye Feng got up early in the morning, and thought that he had figured it out, so he didn't doubt him, and said to Ye Feng: "Then hurry up, Master just asked you where you went, but I said that you picked up dried mushrooms, but you can't be lazy anymore." ”

With Ye Feng's assurance, Yin Ping left first.

Seeing that Yin Ping was gone, Ye Feng pushed the firewood away, took out the cloth bag, and hid it again, and then walked to the back door.

Spring is approaching, so the rain is starting to increase. Otherwise, he really wanted to hide this cloth bag outside the temple. With the cloth bag outside, it is always more convenient to escape, pick it up and continue walking.

And now hiding in the temple, there is a detour to the firewood room when leaving, which is indeed a little inconvenient.

In this way, in order not to make people suspicious, Ye Feng worked very hard when carrying firewood, first, he moved a lot, added and added, until he couldn't bear it before he set off. The second is that they walked faster than Xue Dan and Yin Ping, and they moved back and forth several times, and the four masters and apprentices moved all the firewood back to the temple.

After resting for a while, it gradually darkened. Seeing this, Xue Dan went to the kitchen with his master to cook, while Ye Feng and Yin Ping stayed in the firewood room and stacked the firewood.

Today, the firewood cut is all dead branches, and it is not thick, so there is no need to chop it again, just pile it up.

By the time it was time to eat dinner, Ye Feng was so tired that he didn't want to speak, so he quickly ate a good meal and went to bed.

In order not to be late tomorrow morning, he decided not to sit in the yard in a daze anymore.

Since you want to run away, you have to do a good job. When they all felt like they were starting to figure it out and do everything they said, that's when he ran away.

The author has something to say: In order to let the male protagonist get out of this hard life as soon as possible, I will send two chapters today. Happy to all!
