Lu Ya was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and looked at her watch.

Something strange.

This is not the time for massage, the child has just fallen asleep, and Mrs. has just drunk chicken soup, this time is supposed to be Lin Man's nap time, if Lin Man didn't talk to her, she wouldn't stay to disturb Madame.

So...... At this time, who will come to her?

"Go open the door."

Lin Man sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and pulled his hair back.

Only then did he lean on the pillow.

Soon, Lu Ya brought a small bean from outside.

A bare-headed, little monk in plain monk's robes.

This is the first time Lin Man has seen a little monk except when he came on the first day.

Looking at the little man who was not tall, but kept raising his hand, and looked serious, Lin Man's eyes suddenly became gentle.

They are still children.

Her voice was very soft: "Is there something wrong with the little master looking for me?" ”

"Yes."

The little monk said solemnly: "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, after all, you just gave birth to a baby, but this matter is really strange, I have some young children over there, and the master is not at home, so I can only come to you." ”

"What's going on?"

"Recently, things have been getting less in the kitchen, and I'd like to ask you to ask your subordinates if the amount of food has become too large, and there are too few things in the kitchen."

Speaking of this, the little monk's face was dyed with two red glows.

I seem to be very embarrassed.

"What's your name?"

The little monk was stunned: "My name is empty." ”

"Okay, Lu Ya, you go and follow the little master of Shikong to take a look, what's going on?"

"Okay, madam, you go to sleep first, and I'll accompany the little master to take a look."

When the little monk heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A smile suddenly appeared on the plain white face.

Lu Ya followed Shikong and left.

Lin Man leaned back on the bed, squinting at the blue sky outside the window.

The sky in the cotton market is always extraordinarily blue and extraordinarily far away.

Sitting on the top of the mountain, it is like being able to breathe the freshest air anytime and anywhere, and his mind has become extraordinarily open because of this distance, but as long as he thinks of Huo Yunzheng, who is still under house arrest at the bottom of the mountain, Lin Man's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness.

She must recover her health as soon as possible, and then go down the mountain to help Ah Zheng.

He had been hiding behind Ah Zheng for too long.

It's been so long that I've almost forgotten how I survived in the Lin family to maintain the glory of the Lin Group.

She closed her eyes.

The top priority now is to take care of your body.

Lu Ya followed Shikong through the layers of courtyards and came to another courtyard that they had never set foot in.

This is where Cheng Ming's subordinates, those little monks, live.

Chengming's transformation from a black person in the United States to a clear-minded Buddhist disciple was not smooth at the beginning.

The man who had seen the darkness, although he longed for the light, never exposed his heart to the light, because that would only make him look uglier, and he was banished to the cotton market.

met the old host of Lingyun Temple, a thin man who was already eighty-nine years old, named Kongyi.

Kuichi is a good old man.

He never asks about his past.

He only asked one sentence: "If I give you Lingyun Temple, are you willing to abandon the past?" ”

Cheng Ming was a little surprised.

Covered in blood, he looked as if a demon god had descended into the world.

He sneered, and his slender fingers gently touched his face: "Is a person like me, who is full of murder, still qualified to escape into the empty door?" ”

"The Buddha saves me, I save the world, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground."

"The Dharma cleanses people's hearts, and as long as your heart is bright, you are clean."

Cheng Ming pursed his lips and looked sad: "I will return to darkness one day, even if I am in the light now." ”

Sonichi was silent.

silently cleaned his wounds, bandaged them, and left tremblingly.

The next day, Kuyi's back became even more rickety.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looked at him lying on the bed and sighed helplessly.

He said: "I'm already old, eighty-nine years old, and I don't have long to live, are you willing to help me watch Lingyun Temple?" I'm not going to stop you from going back to the darkness, but I hope you can help me take care of the children in the temple before you go back, okay? 》”

Cheng Ming was silent for a long time.

"Why did you choose me?"

"Because ......" Kuichi took a breath: "I don't have time anymore." ”

Cheng Ming frowned.

He had seen too many deaths, but he had never seen a death of this magnitude.

He nodded: "I promise you." ”

Two days later. ，

Soraichi died.

In Lingyun Temple, only the host Chengming was left, and there were seven children.

Those children, the eldest is five years old, and the youngest is only two years old, and they are all fostered in the temple by some poor families at the bottom of the mountain.

"Have you always lived in this yard?"

Lu Ya felt the gaze around her.

From the moment she entered the courtyard, she felt a lot of eyes around her.

"Well, yes, the kids here are so young, we have to take care of them nearby."

Lu Ya looked at Shikong with a natural expression.

couldn't help but smile helplessly: "How old are you, and you still call others children." ”

Shikong glanced up at her.

Didn't speak.

I just pushed open the door to myself.

Lu Ya walked in.

In the next second, the smile on Lu Ya's face froze on her face, and she saw that in the small room, there were nearly seventeen or eighteen children sitting and lying on the beds up and down.

The youngest is still lying in bed.

Shikong stood beside her: "We are all abandoned children. ”

His expression was faint, and he raised his eyes to look at Lu Ya: "It's Master...... It gives us hope to survive. ”

He is not very old, but he has an indifference that no adult has.

"When you come to live in the temple, Master's heart will be impetuous."

Shikong's eyes turned red: "We are scared, Master will leave." ”

He couldn't forget it.

That year, he was four years old, and his elder brother was not dead.

He hid behind the door, listening to the presiding voice in a trembling voice pleading to the bloodied man.

"Please, take care of them, before you return to darkness."

"So, you want to leave with him?"

Lu Ya was silent for a while, and suddenly raised her eyes and asked.

Relieved.

"Is that okay?"

"Can I leave with Master?"

"We, who are weak and can only survive on Master's alms, are we really qualified to leave with Master?"

Lu Ya looked at the appearance of Shikong.

Squinted his eyes.

Didn't you come to investigate the lack of ingredients in the kitchen? How did you suddenly rise to the height of life?

But......

"I guess so...... After all, the young master and the little princess were born, and they always had to escort the team. ”

Lu Ya narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly the thief laughed like a little fox.

Anyway, I have to go to the orphanage to select children to run for members of the escort team, so it's better to take this group of children away directly, Mingming...... You can directly change your identity and become a trainer of the escort team.

Think so. ，

Lu Ya actually began to think about the feasibility of things.

But......

"I'll talk to him when Chengming comes back, now let's go to the kitchen and have a look."

Shi Kong's tender face stiffened.

Only then did I remember the reason why I called Lu Ya over.

Hurriedly turned around, with a hint of loneliness on his stiff back: "Ah, okay, I'll take you to the kitchen now." ”

Then Lu Ya followed Shikong to the kitchen.

Strictly speaking.

The kitchens of the little monks are not large.

At least it can't be compared with Linman's newly renovated, all-encompassing, top-of-the-line kitchen, and it even looks a little old.

But it looks very clean.

It can be seen.

These kids are very protective of this kitchen.

"It's here, there will be less food every day, and we don't eat anything important, but ...... After all, the supplies here can't be compared with the mountain, a little less, naturally some children will go hungry. ”

Shikong pursed his lips bitterly.

Since Lin Man went up the mountain, even their own supply channels have been cut off.

They could only wait for a certain number of dishes to be allocated to them by Lin Man's weekly purchase.

But lately there have been fewer meals and a little more.

He sighed helplessly: "I haven't eaten enough for three days. ”

Lu Ya: "......"

When they don't know it, these children's lives are so hard.

She rubbed her bare head: "I'll have someone send you some supplies right away, as for which little mouse is making trouble here, we'll slowly observe, don't worry." ”

Shikong breathed a sigh of relief: "We don't have anything, I'm just worried that someone will be bad for Madame." ”

Lu Ya lowered her eyes and glanced at the air.

Pretty smart.

has evolved from a female benefactor to a lady.

Is this child really only nine years old? How do you feel so wicked?

"Baby, our people like smart people."

Shi Bai's little face was full of indescribable innocence: "What is the donor saying, why can't I understand it?" ”

Lu Ya became angry and became a pufferfish.

Are today's kids so hard?

Turned around and walked away in a huff.

Shikong looked at Lu Ya's back, and his dark eyes were full of indescribable obscurity.

"Big brother."

Suddenly, a small light bulb-like head poked out of the kitchen door.

He leaned over with a smile: "What did you say to that big sister?" ”

"It's nothing, it's empty, go inform them, don't go out casually in the afternoon."

"Okay, big brother, I'm hungry, I want to eat."

As he spoke, he licked his tongue.

Shikong looked at his dark eyes full of expectation, and suddenly softened: "That's it, you eat, there will be supplies delivered in the afternoon." ”

"yes, long live Big Brother."

Shikong smiled and walked out of the kitchen with his feet raised.

Hu Kong looked at the back of Shi Kong, then turned around and opened the pot, and there were a few steamed buns and vegetables in it, which were reserved for the evening.

He pulled the convenience bag out of his bosom.

put three steamed buns in it and packed a lot of vegetables before turning around and sneaking away.

Soon, the sky went out of the temple through the back door of Lingyun Temple.

With his hat, he walked directly to the grove not far away, and finally stopped at the door of a tree hole.

He knocked on the trunk of the tree and whispered, "Sister, sister, I've brought you something." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of a thin rope inside.

Soon, a slender figure crawled out of it.

His hair was messy, and his fair face was covered with blood.

She was so embarrassed that her eyes lit up when she saw the empty door, and she hurriedly crawled towards him, grabbed the contents of the bag and began to eat it in a big gulp.

Hu Kong hurriedly reassured: "Sister, you eat slowly, I brought a lot." ”

"Thank you, Gunaka."

The woman's voice was a little hoarse.

Dark eyes stared intently at the hollow.

His blank face suddenly turned red, he touched his cheeks embarrassedly, and looked at the woman with hopeful eyes: "Sister, how long does it take for your legs to get better, can you really take me to see my mother?" ”

The woman was stunned: "Of course, I just twisted my foot, okay, I'll take you down the mountain and find your mother." ”
