Chapter 60: Becoming a Monk and Leaving No Home

"Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng, are you at home? Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng......"

At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, where the Taoist Temple of the Jade Emperor Palace in Haizhou City is located, in front of the door of a small farmhouse courtyard, a young Taoist priest is knocking on the door of the courtyard and shouting softly to the owner of this small courtyard.

With a "squeak", the courtyard door opened.

A middle-aged lady dressed in plain clothes appeared at the door.

"Oh? It's jade dust. Where are you going? He was holding a whisk and carrying a peachwood sword. Come in, come in and sit down, come in and have a glass of water. ”

The middle-aged lady turned sideways with a smile and greeted the young Taoist priest in front of the door.

"No need Aunt Feng, I just happened to pass by here when I went down the mountain. I'm here, I'm just here to ask Aunt Feng if she knows where Master Wuhua, Senior Brother and Guan Zhu have gone. It's been almost twenty days, why haven't you come back yet? ”

"Oh? Flowerless this little Ni... Isn't it on this mountain, boy? He hadn't come to see me in a while. Yuchen, when did you see him, give him a word, if he doesn't come to see Aunt Feng again, from now on, he will never be able to eat the dishes made by Aunt Feng and the brown sugar water boiled. Hum! ”

Aunt Feng stood at the door of her small courtyard, as if she was very angry.

"This? This Wuhua junior brother must have traveled all over the world with the master, and he hasn't come to see Aunt Feng for such a long time, Aunt Feng, don't be angry. It is estimated that they will be back soon, and I believe that as soon as Senior Brother Wuhua comes back to this mountain, he will immediately run down the mountain impatiently to visit Aunt Feng. ”

Wuchen saw that Aunt Feng seemed to be a little angry with Wuhua's junior brother, so he couldn't help but defend himself.

"Hehehehehe, Yuchen, Aunt Feng, why do I seem to care about you very much when I look at you?"

"No, isn't it, this? Yuchen just cares about the Lord. The Kanjo has been out for a long time, and the affairs of the Kanchu are now presided over by my Uncle Izumo, but there are some things that the Kanjo is not in the place of, and it is indeed not so smooth to do. ”

"Oh? yes. Yuchen, where are you going? ”

"Wuchen was about to go to the water curtain cave on the Huaguo Mountain, and someone from the yamen came yesterday and asked the Taoist temple to send someone there to do a ritual. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. ”

After Yuchen finished speaking, he sung in a low voice.

"Isn't the Water Curtain Cave being rebuilt? What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Aunt Feng frowned slightly, then raised her eyes to look at the jade dust in front of her, and asked.

"What exactly happened, Yuchen doesn't know too much. But since it's going to do something, there must be something unclean. Aunt Feng, Yuchen will leave first. ”

Wuchen bowed to Aunt Feng in front of him, and then turned to leave.

"Oops! Yuchen, when you see no flowers, let him come to me, and Aunt Feng will make him something to eat. ”

Aunt Feng looked at the jade dust that was gradually moving away, and shouted loudly.

"Got it, Aunt Feng."

Yuchen turned his head as he walked, and responded loudly with a smile.

"Wuhua, where did this little girl go? This rainy contemplation is really, where are you going to say hello to someone in the contemplation? These Taoist monks seem to be really homeless. ”

Yuchen was gone, and Aunt Feng stood at the door muttering and shook her head, about to close the courtyard door. But halfway through the closure, it stopped.

"It's really strange how things always happen in this Huaguo Mountain."

Aunt Feng stood in front of the door, frowning slightly, as if she was a little worried about something.

"It's not a big deal, Brother Yu is such a talented and capable person, there are not many things that he can't solve. But he hadn't been here since he had been here once before the Spring Festival. It's busy, right? I don't know how he's doing lately? Didn't you commit that old problem with headaches and tinnitus? ”

Aunt Feng stood in front of the half-closed courtyard gate, holding the edge of the door with her hand, and stood for a while, her face as if she was happy or worried. muttered to himself, and slowly closed the courtyard door.

…………

"Stop."

Wang Dayou stood in front of the door of the shed at the foot of Huaguo Mountain, as if he was suddenly startled by some sound, and he was stunned and came back to his senses.

"Oh? Big friends and little brothers. It's me, Lao Guo. Come on, take a sip of ginger soup. You don't need to be so serious when you stand at the door of this shed, I'll find you a stool later, and you can just sit down. ”

"It's Lao Guo, you don't have to mention these again. Since I am on duty, I have to look like I am on duty. But I, I was, I was a little distracted. Scold! Lao Guo, what are you in this barrel? ”

Next to the small post station at the foot of Huaguo Mountain, in front of the temporary shed in the open space not far away, Wang Dayou was standing at the door of the shed like a javelin.

"Ginger soup, the bucket contains the ginger soup that Old Wu Tou'er has just cooked, but it's hot. Yesterday, didn't Lang Zhong, who came to see these croppers, say that he should cook more ginger soup for these people to drink. Come on, come on, you also come to drink a bowl to relieve fatigue. ”

Lao Guo first put down the wooden bucket he was holding in his right hand, then gently put down a small bamboo basket in his left hand, and then took out a blue-edged porcelain bowl from the bamboo basket tremblingly, and was about to serve Wang Dayou a bowl of steaming ginger soup.

"No need, no need Lao Guo, you're so old, you can rest if it's okay. Look at your hands, why are they shaking so much? Aren't these things all possible to arrange a man to help with them? ”

"Old, old. Lao Wu Tou and I are both lonely and have no children and no daughters. In this life, I am going around in this Haizhou City on some errands. He used to guard the granary, to guard the city gates, and to be a jailer in the prison. Some of the things I did in bits and pieces, some of which I don't remember. Scold! For so many years, it's just a bit of a mouthful to eat. It's mushy and old, and before you know it, you're getting old. Fortunately, I met Mr. Feng Qian, who always remembered the old love; Thinking that Lao Wu Tou and I had no family and were lonely, I arranged for us to come to this post station at the foot of Huaguo Mountain to guard, and the two lonely old men could also be companions. I remember that at that time, Mr. Feng Qian was not ...... Hehe, big friend, look at me, I'm so old, and when I talk, I'm always babbling endlessly. Mr. Feng Qian is a good person, big friend and little brother, you just follow him and work hard, and you will definitely have a good future. ”

"Otomo didn't dare to forget Lord Feng's kindness"

Wang Dayou's whole body tightened, he stood straight, and arched his hand with a fist in the sky.

"Okay, well, young man Xiao is always good to learn about Entu, he is a good young man."

After Lao Guo finished speaking, he put the blue-rimmed bowl in his hand back into the bamboo basket on the ground beside him, lifted the bamboo basket tremblingly with his left hand, and prepared to carry the wooden bucket containing ginger soup with his right hand trembling.

"I'll come, Lao Guo. I'll help you slip this ginger soup in. ”

A strong and powerful puff fan grabbed the handle of the barrel, and Wang Dayou lifted the barrel containing ginger soup as if it were nothing.
