Chapter Ninety-Three: Seeking Buddha
"What's there to do?" The Jinguang Temple was too crowded, and Xu Wenlan retreated halfway through.
At this time, as in modern times, it is important to burn a pillar of incense, although it is not as exaggerated as in later generations, and it will not be crowded in the middle of the night to line up to burn incense, but the degree of excitement is better than that.
Xu Wenlan didn't enter the temple, she already felt choked her nose and smoked her eyes outside, and when she entered the temple, she felt that she couldn't stand the smoky smell of the fire.
I don't know which foot was stepped on, and which one was stepped on the embroidered shoes, or which prodigal son took the opportunity to flirt with the little lady of which family, although the temple is a quiet place, but at this time there is no quiet taste.
It's noisy, and from time to time you can hear people arguing, either for squeezing a place or for other trivial matters, which is worse than a vegetable market.
Xu Wenlan came from the materialist era, and he didn't have any beliefs, and when he saw this, he wanted to retreat.
Bai Shengwen still squeezed in: "I want to burn incense for my father, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless him to get better quickly." ”
Seeing Xu Wenlan raise his eyebrows, he also smiled: "Mother said, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most destined for her, didn't you see that there is a mole on her eyebrows?" It is said that it is a Buddha mole, and it is only grown by the Buddha's fate. ”
Xu Wenlan thought about it, there is really a mole on Zhu's right eyebrow against the center of the eyebrow, that is, it is related to the Buddha?
Although he didn't believe this, Bai Shengwen was so sincere, Xu Wenlan couldn't object, and then squeezed in.
I finally arrived at the Guanyin Hall, but I didn't even have a place to go in, so I could only insert the burning incense in the generous incense ding outside.
Although he couldn't squeeze into the hall, Bai Shengwen knelt outside sincerely.
On a cold day, and there were no futons, he knelt in the snow and prayed sincerely.
Xu Wenlan stood beside him, looking fascinated, and then he knew what faith was.
She doesn't know what kind of belief it is to believe in Buddhism, and those Buddhisms don't know very well, although she doesn't classify Buddha as superstitious and scoffs at it, but in general, she still doesn't believe it.
But at this moment, looking at Bai Shengwen, who was frowning and pious, she suddenly felt very warm in her heart.
Perhaps, faith has nothing to do with whether the gods are effective or not, but only in the heart that we love our family.
At this moment, the noise seemed to fade away, the choking smoke became bearable, and the noisy voices, those who were exposing all kinds of bad habits, became lovely at this moment.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, Xu Wenlan also knelt beside Bai Shengwen, and whispered: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, please let my father get better quickly, let my brother go to school in the spring, my mother will be less bullied, and our family must move out quickly, we must bless us with a very happy and happy life......
didn't open his eyes, but the corners of Bai Shengwen's mouth turned up slightly.
At this time, a wave of people squeezed out of the Guanyin Hall.
A few servants surrounded a plump lady, and when they came out of Guanyin Hall, they happened to see Bai Shengwen and Xu Wenlan kneeling in the snow.
Immediately, a girl pointed it out to Madame, and Madame looked at it carefully, and there was an exclamation in her eyes: "What a pious little brother and sister, I don't know what I am asking for......"
Walking slowly, listening attentively, I just heard Xu Wenlan's repeated prayers: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must hear my prayers, I know that there are many people who ask you, but I said it three times!" Tell the important thing three times......"
I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.
The lady crossed Xu Wenlan, and she had already walked away, but she suddenly paused again, looked back at the two brothers and sisters who were still kneeling straight, pursed her lips, and whispered a few words to the round-faced girl beside her.
The girl looked at Erxiao, who was kneeling on the snow, and then beckoned a servant woman, pointed at Xu Wenlan, and whispered a few words before turning around and leaving.
When Xu Wenlan got up, she kept rubbing her knees.
Kneeling in the snow, your knees freezing cold. As soon as Xu Wenlan bent over, Bai Shengwen had already squatted down, first cleaning up the snow stuck to her pants, and then rubbing it heavily with his hands.
Although it couldn't warm up inside at all through the thick cotton pants, Xu Wenlan still felt much warmer.
Looking at Bai Shengwen with a smile, Xu Wenlan naughtily stuffed his hand into his pocket.
It's a pity, it's still too small, and she's become a little Lori, otherwise, how romantic!
As soon as the two of them squeezed out of the Jinguang Temple, someone intercepted them.
A woman in a blue cotton coat called with a smile: "This little brother, little sister, please come here, my wife has something to ask you." ”
The greeting was quite polite, but the strength and superiority revealed in the voice could not be concealed.
Xu Wenlan Dingqing saw the woman clearly, and then looked at Bai Shengwen.
That means, I don't know, you do?
Bai Shengwen shook his head and held Xu Wenlan's hand tighter: "Let's go find Erbao, he should still be there between the two." ”
As soon as he met Liu Chun'er's two-person drama troupe at the temple fair, Bai Shengwu stayed there to watch the excitement.
Before the two of them moved, the woman stopped her: "Little brother, don't worry, I'm not a bad person." Then he motioned for the two to look over there: "Our lady's carriage is parked there." ”
Turning his head to look at the past, it was indeed a carriage covered with green tarpaulin, and the cart was pulled by a double-headed horse, such a car is rare in Heishui County, and it is expensive if it is not rich.
Bai Shengwen hesitated, nodded anyway, and turned around with Xu Wenlan.
"Madam, I brought the people." The woman bowed and whispered back.
Someone lifted the heavy curtain and poked his head out.
It was a young girl, with a round face, smiling and beaming.
From behind her, a lady in a white cloak could be faintly seen, and nothing else could be seen clearly, but the big fur collar of the silver fox was really visible.
"The little brother and sister were really pious when they prayed for Buddha just now, and my wife sighed when she saw it, so I called you to come and ask, but what are the difficulties?"
It seems that this is a kind-hearted person, and I want to show kindness.
The two looked at each other, Bai Shengwen nodded, and motioned for Xu Wenlan to answer.
Xu Wenlan smiled slightly, stepped forward to give a salute, and said lightly: "This lady ......"
It was the lady who opened her mouth, but she did not talk to the girl.
In fact, Xu Wenlan was a little dissatisfied in her heart, even if she was kind, such a contemptuous attitude was still disgusting.
"My father has been injured and is recuperating from his injuries, so our brother and sister specially begged the Bodhisattva and begged her to bless my father to get better soon."
"Oh, I see!" As if sensing Xu Wenlan's dissatisfaction, the girl smiled, looked back at the car, and then smiled: "I see, since I am injured, I must need money to see the doctor, this, you take it, it is a little bit of our wife's heart." ”
The girl's hand lit up, but Xu Wenlan's eyes were flowered, and it was actually a whole ingot of silver as soon as she made a move, probably one or two, right?
Blinking, Xu Wenlan didn't say anything, just turned her head to look at Bai Shengwen.
