The farmer was also panicked, and hurried to help.

Fortunately, according to the water, his movements were neat, and he pulled Ah Tian and ran outside the hall.

I heard a bang, and the Buddha statue really collapsed, and there was dust on the ground. The scattered wooden frame made a babbling sound, but it was known that this was a long-standing Buddha statue.

Then the farmer sighed at pity.

"Little monk, you have nowhere to chant now."

Shine on the water, but don't think so.

"The Buddha is in my heart, and it is the same everywhere I chant sutras."

"Then you gave me these rotten woods, and I went back to bring firewood, can I make it?" Hehe, my mother-in-law definitely likes it. "The villagers know that it is good to take care of the water. As long as there is water, I am willing to give it all.

Sure enough, Zhaoshui nodded.

The farmer happily untied his belt and bound the wood, put it in a basket, carried it on his shoulder, and went away merrily.

Ah Tian gasped.

"Brother monk, I'm ...... I'd better go. Although you are a monk, you are a man after all. If this continues, the villagers will definitely gossip when they see it. ”

Zhaoshui thought about it seriously, but shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows. After a long time, they will see the innocence between you and me. You don't have a home to go to. You're gone, it's nothing more than sleeping out and begging, how to make it? Zhaoshui brushed his sleeves, tidied up the Buddhist hall, took a look, and said to Ah Tian: "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"I'll wait for you to eat with you."

Zhaoshui followed Ah Tian into the stove room. On the low table, white porridge was steaming, and a plate of pickled wild garlic was added. Zhaoshui picked up the chopsticks and praised Atian's dexterity, but he just ate porridge. "There are a lot of wild vegetables in front of this temple and behind the temple, but the poor monks can't do it."

"I will. Brother monk, let's eat an egg. The snake you raised is really human, and you gave me a few wild eggs, which I boiled and put in the grass to warm. Ah Tian took out the egg, peeled the shell, and handed it to Zhaoshui.

Zhaoshui shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't eat five meats, along with onions, garlic and leeks. Not to mention eggs, even this poor monk with wild garlic can't eat them. ”

When Ah Tian heard this, his face turned red. "I forgot."

"Poor monks can't eat it, but Ah Tian can eat it." Drink porridge as usual.

Ah Tian frowned: "Brother monk, then where can you fill your stomach just by drinking porridge?" Do you have to work during the day, and at night you have to recite the scriptures and eat? ”

"Ah Tian, look at the beam."

Zhaoshui was tall, stood on tiptoe, and took down a bamboo basket hanging on the ridge of the roof. The calico was uncovered, and inside was a steamed yellow nest head. "The poor monk has this to eat, and you can eat it too."

Zhaoshui told Ah Tian that this was his own steamed wowotou, and the hazelnuts and chestnut noodles were made together, which was extremely fragrant. Ah Tian took a bite.

"It's delicious."

"In the past, the poor monk didn't know anything, it can be said that he came to his hands and bread to open his mouth, and he didn't know the suffering of the world, and he couldn't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and spring leeks...... "Zhaoshui stopped talking again, and didn't want to go on.

"Brother monk, then why are you a monk?" Ah Tian took a sip of porridge, his eyes were shining, and he was very curious. The monk's brother speaks softly, his previous family background must be good, right?

Zhaoshui stood up, with his back to Ah Tian, and his back was melancholy. "It's all in the past. The poor monk felt that it was better to become a monk. When you become a monk, the four are empty, you have nothing to ask for, you have nothing to worry about, it's really indescribable. ”

Ah Tian listened.

Brother Monk said reluctantly, this is obviously a matter of heart.

Ah Tian was enthusiastic, so he wanted to solve it with him, but he didn't know how to ask.

Just as he was hesitating, the water turned back again. "Ah Tian, this morning the poor monk will make a cage and build a thatched hut in the afternoon. If you're willing, you might as well help me cut some thatch and dry it. ”

"Hey."

Ah Tian is happy to work. After breakfast, I washed the dishes, took a sickle and cut it nearby. The big snake was out foraging for food and had eaten enough, curled up behind Ah Tian and took a nap, but Ah Tian was not afraid.
