Chapter 011: Two Mandarin Ducks
Zhaoshui only looked forward to sending Ye Laoluo and Zhao away, and when it was dark, Ah Tian would come back.
"Not in your temple, where is that? You can't go wrong with this dress. The old snail was vicious, and after a few clicks, all the rosaries he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
This monk is upright in the end.
If someone else is replaced, just say that the two of them are wrong. I don't know how many clothes of the same material are there in this world, why is it Ah Tian's? According to the water, it can be said that this is left by other female pilgrims in the rain.
"The poor monk doesn't know."
Lao Luo was even more angry, and his mother-in-law looked at the valuable things in it, looked around, the four walls were empty, and even pulled her throat and said: "This is a poor monk, what kind of evil trick did he use to hook that shameless little slut?" ”
Zhaoshui straightened the placket of her clothes and lowered her eyes: "Her clothes have fallen, but the person is gone." ”
"Gone?"
"But he was gone. A poor monk is a monk, how can he take in a single orphan girl? Although the small temple of the poor monk is broken, it is only for cultivation. But the poor monk has seen your daughter, and he has given her food. Seeing that her clothes were dirty, he also took out the clothes of an elderly female pilgrim and exchanged them with her. She walked in a hurry, but forgot to take her clothes, and the poor monk was helpless. ”
After speaking, Zhaoshui said again.
The monks don't speak, and Zhaoshui has broken several cases for Ah Tian.
Although Zhaoshui is honest, he still knows how to be flexible.
"Really?" Zhao didn't believe it.
"Ah Tian is indeed not here. The two donors should go and have a look elsewhere. Zhaoshui deliberately pointed to the southwest in front of the temple, "You should go there and look for it." ”
The old snail frowned, as if he believed it or not. The Zhao family twisted his eyebrows, collected Ah Tian's clothes, and said to himself: "Although this clothes are torn, I can cut a few uppers." ”
"Donor, let's go." Terusui calmly recited "Amitabha" again, while bending down to pick up the rosary on the ground.
In front of the temple, the cauliflower snake rushed in with its head up and crossed the threshold.
It seems that if Ye Laoluo and Zhao don't leave, the snake will also be angry.
"Oops...... Where did such a scary snake come from......" Zhao Shi coldly met the snake's eyes, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted.
Ye Laoluo was also very frightened.
"Monk, you ...... They let us go, and they instigate a snake to bite us. Could it be that you are a demon monk in the mountain? ”
Zhaoshui smiled slightly and didn't say a word.
The snake was very cooperative, and stretched out the letter again, wanting to lick the neck of the old snail.
Zhao grabbed Lao Luo's arm: "Let's go, hurry up......"
The two of them crawled away from the ruined temple with a roll, almost dripping with urine and feces.
Seeing that the two of them were walking away, Zhao Shui took a long breath. And the serpent went to the vegetable patch.
After about two teas, Ah Tian returned with a basket.
"Brother monk, I dug up a good treasure, what do you see?" Ah Tian was happy, his voice was crisp, he came in, and took a thing in his arms to Zhaoshui.
It was a clear and crystalline jade plaque, the jade plaque was inlaid with gold and gemstones, and there was a silver wire knot at the bottom, shining dazzlingly under the sun.
When he saw it, his face darkened. Then his eyes shifted, and he only looked in one direction outside the temple, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Brother monk, what the hell is this?" Ah Tian couldn't put it down.
"But a useless thing. Now that you've dug it up, put it back. ”
For the jade plate, Zhaoshui didn't want to look at it again.
Ah Tian was very ignorant. "Brother monk, do you really want to put it back?" She was very reluctant. It is so good-looking, where it is hung in the temple, it is also a dazzling ornament.
"Hmm."
"Then I'll bring it and put it in the meditation room, okay?"
Ah Tian is afraid that this object is buried in the vegetable furrow and may be stolen. After all, there is no fence to cover it, and villagers from above and below the mountain can pass through.
Zhaoshui said gently: "Ah Tian, put it back." The four major monks are empty. To me, this jade plaque is no different from the soil in the ground. ”
Ah Tian nodded: "So this is called a jade plate?" She wondered, how could the monk brother have such a thing?
However, even as the water ordered, Ah Tian still ran back to the vegetable furrow and buried it in its original place.
Na Zhaoshui closed his eyes and sighed, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
Ah Tian returned, and according to the water, he took the burning stick and cooked rice. Ah Tian cooks at the desk. The rice is coarse wheat rice. The dish is a few pickled cucumbers and two pieces of old tofu. But Ah Tian cut the cucumber finely and sprinkled it with coarse salt; Mix the tofu well, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and put them in a bowl one by one.
The meals were all ready, and Zhaoshui sat down with Ah Tian to eat.
The big snake in the wooden cage came out, touched his head according to the water, and fed it water.
"Brother monk, in a while, I will teach you to grind tofu. You grind like that, it's just a cost of beans, and there is a lot of slag. ”
"You can grind tofu?" Zhaoshui put down the chopsticks and instructed the big snake to return to the cage.
Ah Tian smiled: "I will do more." Spinning, weaving, embroidery, sewing clothes, making shoes...... The croppers will do it, and I will do it. Ah Tian spread out his hand and let Zhaoshui look at the calluses in her palms. It's all done by doing. Since I was five years old, I don't know how I survived. ”
I looked at the water, but I felt distressed.
"Ah Tian, it seems that you have really suffered a lot." He sighed, "It's a pity, the poor monk temple is small, and you live here, and you are also suffering with it." ”
"No, no, no, Brother Monk, Ah Tian doesn't mind. Compared with at home, Ah Tian only felt that this was heavenly. "When he saw that the porcelain bowl of Zhaoshui was empty, he served him a bowl for him." Brother monk, you recite scriptures in the morning and evening, and you have to work, so you must be full. ”
Zhaoshui said "um", and sure enough, he ate with his head bored.
After eating enough water, Ah Tian poured him tea again.
When she saw that the tea leaves were roasted from poplar leaves, she said, "Brother monk, I can make tea." Grass tea leaves and tea will be. Your tea leaves must taste bitter when soaked in water. ”
Shine water does not deny.
"Poor monks love to drink bitter tea."
Zhaoshui told Ah Tian not to be busy anymore, and to rest this afternoon.
In front of her, Zhaoshui did not mention that Ye Laoluo and his wife had come.
He believes that it is better not to mention this matter, so as not to disturb Ah Tian.
But he was wrong.
At noon, after taking a break in the water, continue to chant.
Ah Tian still couldn't stay idle, holding a basket and picking the wolfberries in the corner. Goji berries are a good thing, making tea, cooking rice, and eating them as fruits.
The more Ah Tian picked, the happier he became.
Drive...... Drive...... Drive...... There seemed to be the sound of clattering horses' hooves in the distance, mixed with the sound of clattering.
The sound spread louder and louder from far to near the temple.
Ah Tian is just wonderful, and he carries the basket to look outside the temple.
Although the water recited the scriptures as usual, the hand holding the wooden fish was loosened and the scriptures were closed.
He also heard the sound, frowned, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, or straightened the monk's robe, stood solemnly in front of the temple, folded his hands, and made a gesture of greeting.
