Chapter 022: Luan Toad
Ah Tian is diligent in incubating silkworms, and the monk is more diligent in practicing calligraphy.
Niu Huang wondered at first: What is the relationship between the benefactor and Miss Atian? It looks intimate, but it is full of respect. After thinking about it for a few days, I suddenly understood it again. The benefactor is lenient and benevolent, if he can take him in a reckless man, why can't he take in an orphan girl who has nowhere to go? Besides, he is a monk, and he has long been pure. In his eyes, Ah Tian, who is as beautiful as a flower, is afraid that he is just like him, a skin.
But is it or not? The bezoar is unpredictable.
He was a bystander, looking at the benefactor's eyes at Ah Tian, that ...... It's clearly a man's eyes looking at a woman. In the past, Niu Huang also admired a dusty woman. He saw that the woman described her as the benefactor.
In the end, men understand men.
The bezoar ate a few meals of yellow-hearted sweet potatoes, and panicked in his heart: such a comfortable day was given by a benefactor. Whoever the benefactor likes is to bear the brunt of it, he has the obligation to assist in the fulfillment. The benefactor is a monk, and it is inconvenient to confess, so he will speak for him. It is also very easy for monks to return to the vulgar. As for getting married, it's a matter between morning and twilight.
As soon as he thought of his benefactor and Ah Tian Qingqing's appearance, Niu Huang smiled, smiled and sighed. After sighing, he said to himself: "That Ah Tian girl, but it is heartwarming. Even I'm hooked. ”
When practicing calligraphy according to the water, the bezoar will carry water for him.
The nearby villagers knew that the thief had been caught, and there was no hidden danger in Bishan. I also know that there is a bearded man in the temple, this woman and two men, and the gossip that was originally silent is even more crazy.
What's even more explicit, saying that at night, the man went into the temple and went with the monk to face Ah Tian. This kind of tinkering is one night, and only the lust of Ah Tian Lehe wants to die.
The villagers didn't believe these words. After all, looking at it coldly, Ah Tian is a decent woman, and her every move is quite regular. Probably more than that. Although I don't believe it, the people in the village are bored, and if you don't find something to talk about to pass the time, it will be even more difficult. So gossip, in addition to growing wildly, has also derived other rumors.
What's more, it is said that Ah Tian's stomach is in March.
The head of the village, Tian Wei, saw Ah Tian coming back from the mountains, and they all covered their noses and snickered.
Ah Tian is used to it.
People live for themselves, not for others.
As soon as he saw someone, Ah Tian stepped forward to greet him generously, his body was straight, and there was a smile on his face.
This made the people around him embarrassed, but took the initiative to ask: "Ah Tian, I picked a lot of mushrooms today." Yo, and these bamboo shoots, why are they so tender? How can you see all the good ones? ”
Ah Tian carried the basket and was happy, so he said: "Since you like it, auntie, how about I send you?" ”
When the elderly woman heard this, she recited Amitabha Buddha instead. "How? In the end, your days are also miserable. You follow that monk, and you can't get rid of meat every day, and you are very pitiful. Zhao Po and Li Po pretending to be ghosts are not good things. For example, let me tell you the matchmaker, the grandson of my distant sister-in-law's aunt and aunt looks like a talent, the family has good paddy fields, cattle, ponds and depressions, and as soon as you enter the door, you will eat pork at once......"
came again, and Ah Tian guessed that as soon as she opened her mouth, these aunts and sisters-in-law wanted to be matchmakers for her.
When he walked to the temple, Ah Tian thought: Why do women have to get married? Just like she is now, following the monk brother and living a clean and comfortable life, I don't know how good it is!
Of course, silkworm babies can also be carefully raised.
Ah Tian's heart was both happy and worried. There is not a single mulberry tree in this vicinity. I searched and searched, but I still didn't. She knew there was one at the bottom of the cliff. But if you go again, you will not be allowed to shine in the water.
The lotus village where he used to live was planted with mulberry trees, but Ah Tian didn't want to go back.
After thinking about it, she decided to go to Caisang Town. The monk's brother said that the name of Caisang Town does not live up to its truth. Famous mulberry but no mulberry. But she decided to try her luck anyway. After all, the bezoar said: maybe there are still a few. Twenty years ago, the town was so lush with mulberry trees everywhere that the roads were not smooth. Someone was annoyed, and a fire burned the mulberry tree clean.
This person was later arrested. He also said eloquently: There are no silkworms in the town, so why do you want so many mulberry trees? Even if it can bear fruit, it is just a mulberry fruit that does not slip away. It is better to burn it clean and plant peach and pear trees in the future.
On this day, Zhaoshui was attending meditation in the Buddhist hall.
Ah Tian put on a hat, carried a bamboo basket, and held a machete in his hand, ready to go on the road.
It just so happened that the bezoar was full and fine, catching toads in the vegetable furrow, and when she saw Ah Tian, she asked her where she was going? Does the benefactor know?
"I don't know."
Ah Tian just reminded the bezoar and quickly released the toad. Although this thing is ugly, it is life after all. All beings are equal, so why abuse them for the sake of preference?
The bezoar's face turned red. What Ah Tian said, he thinks is reasonable.
In Niu Huang's heart, Ah Tian is beautiful and kind.
But in Ah Tian's heart, Niu Huang is a lonely man who can go anywhere. It's been a long time, and it's the feeling of the neighbor's big brother. The background is similar to hers. Or maybe even more sorrowful. On this, Zhaoshui once asked, but the bezoar either kept silent, or left Gu to talk to him.
Zhaoshui also understood, and he stopped.
"Won't you tell your benefactor?"
Ah Tian smiled. "Don't tell. He was in meditation. Besides, I'll be back soon. ”
"Then I'll follow you." The bezoar volunteered.
Ah Tian shook his head. "I know the way. By the way, aren't you going to dig a pond? Hurry up and dig it, this season is suitable for planting lotus roots. I think that in autumn and winter, let the monk brother eat crispy and sweet lotus root. Besides, lotus flowers are treasures. When the lotus seeds are ripe, peel off the lotus heart, and you can also make tea soup. ”
Ah Tian is a delicate person, which has been accumulated through long hours of labor.
The monk's brother can't live a hard life all the time. She had to do her best to keep the neighborhood around the small temple lively and lively. She is a peasant girl, so she has to give full play to her strengths. Fruit trees of various colors are planted behind the temple. The pond was dug up, and lotus root was planted with water chestnut, and Ulva was planted with mushrooms. I couldn't eat it, so I went to the market to exchange money, and it was a good harvest.
She originally wanted to raise fish and shrimp, but when she thought that the monk's brother was a monk, and since he raised fish, he would inevitably kill and blaspheme the Bodhisattva, and the monk must have been angry. So, it's better to grow vegetables. Eggplant, leeks, cucumbers, greens, spinach, pumpkin......
Of course, what she attaches the most importance to is silkworm raising. If the silkworms are raised, then they can get the silver of white flowers. Thinking of this, Ah Tian seemed to see the silver swaying left and right in front of her, and she grinned.
Ah Tian thought for a moment. "If you are pleased, watch the worms for me. Just look, can't touch. ”
The bezoar agreed.
Ah Tian went to Caisang Town. Today's wind and sun are beautiful, Ah Tian asked all the way, and his voice was hoarse.
There was a white-bearded old man who told Ah Tian that there was a family surnamed Rong in the east of Caisang Town, and there might be mulberry trees in his house. Ah Tian thanked excitedly.
Unexpectedly, after passing through an intersection, I saw a group of white horses speeding up, and the people on the horses were very rampant, and they saw a girl in front of them, but they still jumped over with a whip. No, because the road was narrow, the horse and the man passed over the head of Ah Tian.
Ah Tian couldn't dodge and was greatly frightened.
It almost happened, she was trampled to death by the horses!
As soon as Ah Tian stood still, the people on the horse happened to come down as well. This man was dressed in royal blue satin, red hat and boots, and exuded wanton magnificence and pride. He is also white-skinned, tall, and from a distance, he can be regarded as a beautiful son. But when I got closer, I saw his three white eyes, even his eyebrows, and high cheekbones, which was still disgusting.
The man looked at Ah Tian.
Ah Tian turned around, he was not injured anyway, and when he met a strange man on the road, he still walked quickly.
Unexpectedly, the man stopped her, and with a pair of lewd eyes, he looked at Ah Tian again and again.
"Tsk, where did the little lady come from, she is so handsome! Sure enough, since ancient times, the folk have been outstanding. Uncle, I have taken a fancy to you, tell me, which family are you, I will send a few taels of silver over and bring you to my house! ”
As he spoke, he was about to throw away the basket on Ah Tian's back and drag her onto the horse. The strength was so fierce that Ah Tian's eyebrows tightened and his arms hurt.
"What are you doing? I don't know you, let go! ”
Ah Tian felt remorse in his heart. The security of the Great Cloud Country is not good. In broad daylight, there was really a gentleman who robbed the people's daughter, and he knew that this was the case, so Niu Huang said that he wanted to follow him, and let him follow.
At this time, not a single passer-by passed.
Ah Tian was really scared.
If this person really wants to do misdeeds and do whatever he wants, then he can't fight.
What to do, what to do?
Ah Tian was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Hahaha...... Little lady, I can't imagine that you are frowning, and there is a bit of a sick Shih Tzu taste, it is too much to meet my uncle's wishes! Looking at Ah Tian's pink neck and ruddy lips, this person had the urge to hug obscenity.
Ah Tian resisted desperately. shouted: "Someone, someone...... Help......"
"Little lady, how can you call for help? Sure enough, she is a yellow flower girl, and she is afraid of a man. You don't know, it's men who can make women happy in this world. When you taste my uncle, I'm afraid that you will stick to me every day, take the initiative to give me a hug, and please me in vain......"
Ah Tian really didn't want to hear it.
She was so eager that she kept silently thinking in her heart: Brother monk, if you can appear in front of me like a fairy, it would be good.
The man had already forced her to mount her horse, clamped her arm with one hand, and was ready to ride back to the city.
Ah Tian took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit him hard.
The man was in pain, stopped his horse, raised his hand to Ah Tian's face, it was a slap, and he scolded in his mouth: "You stinky girl, my lord has taken a fancy to you, that's your blessing." You don't know the identity of the master, but the master is ......"
Before the words fell, I heard a rapid shout from behind: "Luan Toad, let her go!" ”
Ah Tian froze. Listening to this voice, could it really be ...... Brother monk?
