The side door of the temple was ajar, and Jian Taigu and his own children probed their brains in, and a small novice was cleaning the bluestone steps, and saw two people coming to the temple gate, but they just looked up slightly, and did not stop. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Jian Taigu came over cautiously and asked:
"Little master, may I ask how to go to the great monk of the vegetable garden of the temple?"
"The side path goes up the hill. ”
The little monk stared at randomly, and when he saw that it was the two of them in tattered clothes, he frowned and was full of impatience, and he couldn't help but spit out a sentence coldly between his words, and he was unwilling to say more than half a word.
"Thank you. ”
Men have long known it, but they have no bad feelings, and it seems that they have long been accustomed to it. After raising their hands to thank them, the two of them went down the root of the wall over there, and went straight to the mountain in the backyard of the temple, and there were many Buddhist stories painted on the red wall on the side, and there were many words to describe the story, the three children were curious, and the murals looked carefully at the past, and the mouth was still chanting slowly, so the footsteps gradually slowed down, and the father saw that he fell far away, and opened his mouth to shout:
"San'er, let's take a look in the future, at this time, I can still ask for a bite to eat. ”
"Oh. ”
The three children touched their stomachs, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hurriedly quickened their pace, and followed their father.
All the way uphill, San'er and his father were struggling to walk the ground, so when there was no food, where would they have a little strength? By the time they reached the large vegetable garden in the back mountain, they were already sweating profusely. San'er was panting for breath while looking around. They saw a vegetable garden, surrounded by a fence on all sides, and a small stone pool at the opening of one side, not far from where they stood. There is a pool of blue water in the stone pool, which is clear and can be seen. In the past, there were several monks' rooms, and there was a great monk, white and pure, who was taking a pu fan and walking slowly.
"Unasi, are you the person Zhou Mugen said he was?"
"Master, it's Xiao Ke!"
Sword Taigu bent his waist and said respectfully.
"What's the name of the baby?"
The monk looked up and down San'er, and suddenly asked.
"Xiao Kejian is too ancient, and the child's name is Jianchuan. ”
"Jianchuan, isn't the baby good, it's just too small. ”
"Buddha, it's not young, it's almost nine years old. San'er, quickly kowtow to Grandpa Buddha. ”
"Oh. ”
Jian Chuan agreed, bowed to the ground, and said loudly in his mouth:
"Grandpa Buddha is on top, boy Jianchuan kowtows!"
"Hehehe, okay, good, the baby can stay, but the year is not good, I don't have any guarantee for you. ”
"The master is already grateful for being able to take my son in, where do you dare to ask for any guarantee. ”
"It's so early in the mountain, I haven't eaten, there are steamed buns in the monk's room over there, so let's take them at home." ”
It was about the sword Taigu who was respectful, and the great monk liked it very much, and couldn't help but smile at the obviously hungry and deflated grandfather to invite food.
"Thank you, Master. ”
Jian Taigu hurriedly took San'er to the monk's room, and there were more than ten big steamed buns on the case, which were cold and stiff as if they were like earth and stones, but Jian Taigu, who was surprised, was full of smiles. Jian Taigu took one and gave it to San'er, while scooping up water with a bowl. The two of them stood on the side of the desk like that, and ate the steamed buns with raw water.
"Well, ahem, ahem!······"
Jianchuan Xu ate too quickly, and actually choked and kept coughing.
"San'er, slow down!"
Jian Taigu looked embarrassed at the great monk.
"The child is so hungry!"
The great monk waved his hand casually, but was silent.
For a long time, the great monk just kept smiling and looking at the two Jian Taigu masters, and when he saw that they had stopped eating, he spoke:
"Your baby Jianchuan can stay, but it is impossible to cut his hair in the temple for the time being, so take care of the vegetable garden with me, wait for a few years, or it may be possible. As for you, don't come here again. Otherwise, if others know that your family Jianchuan has parents alive, where is it possible to cut your hair?"
"Yes!" Swire understood. ”
A trace of sorrow struck, and Jian Taigu suddenly choked up for no reason. Holding back the tears in his eyes, Jian Taigu pretended to look back at his third son with a calm face, but the eight-year-old child was the time for his parents to seek joy on their knees, but now······
"San'er, in the future, I have to listen to Grandpa Buddha's words. ”
"Oh. ”
The sword Taigu suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to the great monk, then got up and walked straight away, and never looked back, even if it was to look at his own child again!
"Daddy!"
San'er shouted, and the sword Taigu seemed to pause for a moment, but then accelerated his pace and hurried down the mountain. San'er could never forget the lonely back, trembled, and hurriedly followed the mountain path down the mountain path and disappeared into the temple.
"Daddy!"
The three couldn't help twitching lightly, and wept silently. In his young heart, he knew dimly at the moment that he was afraid that he would never see his parents and brothers again. He crawled on the ground and kowtowed a few times to the back of his father, who had gone down the mountain. The great monk was very surprised, but he looked at the child with interest.
Of course, San'er didn't know, but his father knew the scene of his kowtow clearly. The sword Taigu went down the mountain and turned around a house in the temple, and then secretly came back to look at San'er, just to see him kowtowing to the ground, the sword Taigu saw San'er's small body, kowtowing to the ground, suddenly his heart was like a knife, his anorectum was broken, and he couldn't help the deep sorrow in his heart like ice, almost crying bitterly, and suddenly turned around and hurriedly went down the mountain and wept.
From now on, it will be a life of one!
"Jianchuan, do you know that if you want to eat, you need to work?"
"Hmm. ”
"In the future, you will clean the courtyard and monk's room, and you will go to the temple kitchen to carry food for three meals a day, and the water tank here will always be full, and when the vegetable field is watered, you will bring down the water from the heavenly pond on the top of the mountain to irrigate. Do you know?"
"Oh!"
Jianchuan looked at the top of the mountain, and saw the white snow-capped peaks in the distance, one level at a time, from the desolate ridge gradually came to life, and then there were sparse grass and trees, jungles.
"It turns out that there is a Tianchi mile on it!"
The great monk glanced at the child, frowned, and said:
"Several people have drowned in the pool that day, what do you think of it?"
"Oh. ”
Jian Chuan stuck out his tongue and laughed.
There are six monks' rooms in the vegetable garden, one holds Buddhist scriptures, two are agricultural utensils and a sundries, one is a monk's bedroom, a kitchen, and one is vacant. The great monk pointed to the empty room over there and said:
"Jianchuan, that empty house has been packed up and gone to live in by itself. ”
"Oh. ”
So the eight-year-old Xiao Jianchuan began his family's hard livelihood.
Although there was almost no clutter in the empty room, the mess still seemed difficult for Jian Chuan at his age. There were a lot of firewood, buckets and other miscellaneous items in the room. Jian Chuan hugged them one by one and put them under the grass shed in the courtyard, and put them neatly. It was almost morning, and the house was clean. Two broken benches and a few broken planks, the wooden bed was propped up, and the straw mats were taken from the grass hut and spread out, and the animal skins of their own bodies became mattresses. Then Najianchuan cleaned the small courtyard again, took water from the water tank, and sprinkled the ground wet and spotless. The big monk in the monk's room looked carefully, sighed, and went to the mountainside monastery to have lunch.
"Jianchuan, come over for dinner. ”
"Oh!"
In the afternoon, Jianchuan knew that the water tank needed to be refilled, so he took the wooden bucket and went to the small stone pool to fetch water. Thirty or forty feet away and near a distance, a small half bucket of water, stop and go, to the water tank, stand on tiptoe, waste a lot of strength to dump into the tank. It took more than an hour for the tank to overflow. At this time, the baby was already tired, her face was flushed, and she was only panting.
In the evening, I heard the sound of the evening class under the mountain, and the sound of the monk's chanting attracted the curiosity of Jianchuan, and the great monk recited Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, and took Jianchuan down to the temple under the slope of the vegetable garden. A path was taken on a slope, and after walking for a while, I saw a row of several halls, and a large wooden shed where the monk usually ate. It was about the end of the evening class, and some monks came over in twos and threes.
"Master Huaxin, which woman gave birth to this one?"
A big monk who looked like a man smiled and joked about Jianchuan to the big monk who was in charge of the vegetable garden.
"Amitabha, how can a monk speak such foul language, aren't you afraid that the abbot will know about the punishment?"
"Hehehe, Master Huaxin, you have a woman who gave birth to a little monk, and you don't see the abbot and brother punish, why do you have to punish the poor monk for making a few jokes?"
The poor monk is innocent, dedicated to the Buddha, only doing good deeds, and never doing evil deeds!"
"Oh, why is Master Huaxin in a hurry? Hahaha······"
Another fat monk smiled.
"······Amitabha! How so?"
That Jianchuan just lowered his head and quietly followed the big monk to the stove.
"Master Huaxin, you have brought two children this year, and if this continues, my temple will not become a beggar's nest!"
Seeing Xiao Jianchuan shrinking behind his senior brother, the great monk was very dissatisfied.
"The baby before, Senior Brother of the Discipline Hall took a fancy to it, and accepted it as a disciple, and he is no longer a person in my vegetable garden. This child is really hard, his father and mother are gone, just let me meet, what do you say? Besides, the abbot and senior brother have allowed me to have three people in the vegetable garden!"
"Oh, ah, my brother always has a lot of excuses. ”
There were a lot of people eating at the entrance of the hall, and a few little monks lined up in front, I don't know who pushed a Jianchuan, Jianchuan squeezed forward, but knocked a little monk into a stumbling one.
"Hmm, who is it?"
The two little monks in front of him pointed back in unison, and they were pointing at Jianchuan.
"Be careful!"
The little monk said.
Jian Chuan was just nervous and didn't dare to say a word. It was his turn to fetch food, and he carried it in the rice basket and hurried back. The little monk suddenly stretched out that foot, and Jian Chuan didn't have time to avoid it, so he fell down and threw the lunch box far away. It's a pity that his dinner with the great monk is gone. The big monk was a little angry, but he just glared at the little monk fiercely, but he didn't say anything. It's just that the gang of monks begged.
"Senior brother, this child hasn't eaten for a day, so he can't starve to death, right?"
"One meal per person, if you throw it away, you won't have it!"
"It wasn't him who threw it down, it was the bad boy who made it bad!"
"Wait! If you have any leftovers, you will eat them, and if you don't, you will go back hungry. ”
It was easy to wait until the end, Jian Chuan got some leftovers and a few big steamed buns, and went back with the big monk. The two ate silently opposite each other.
"Jianchuan, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden by others! If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you have to be stronger than others. You know what?"
The monk taught Jianchuan a lesson while eating, but he didn't say that he would be ruthless when he met those boys in the future!.
"Hmm. ”
"You don't know why your Buddha grandfather and I fell into the errand of taking care of the vegetable garden! I was also a senior monk in the big temple before, and I also lived in the main hall to preach the scriptures, and I was sought after by good men and women, and I also used to speak the decree of the law. It's just that when I was a disciple, I offended the current abbot brother, and later gained power, and naturally there were many people around me, so of course I was ostracized. Now that he is committed to this lowly work, he has been bullied by such ugly people from time to time. Even the brothers who were kind to each other before have become strangers. It's really indifferent, and the world is hot and cold!"
"Oh. ”
Jian Chuan replied, not knowing if he knew the meaning inside.
"Ah, what am I talking to you about this?"
The great monk sighed, put down the dishes and chopsticks and left. Jian Chuan eaten, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed them carefully, cleaned them up, and then went to his monk's room. A little soybean oil small lamp flickered and sprinkled a room of dim light, reflecting the small shadow of Jianchuan suddenly grand, almost covering half of the room. He got on the broken wooden bed, stared at the bean light, and suddenly choked up, and wept sadly.
"Mom must have mended the broken lamp at this time, and she was nagging and complaining about Daddy. And the two elder brothers must have caught the lice in the ragged clothes under the bean light. I wonder if the stone is already asleep, or maybe he is so hungry that he cries. Now that I don't have a spare meal, there must be extra food at home, and the two brothers will definitely not be hungry anymore. ”
Jianchuan thought like this, although he almost didn't have any words to say, but his father knew that his own child was the most intelligent Jianchuan. Even so, his weakened body and bones are the least likely to survive this year of famine. So I thought about it again and again and sent it to the temple.
Life and death depend on the destiny of heaven!
Jian Chuan lay alone on the wooden plank and straw mat in the wind-leaking monk's room, a piece of animal skin half-covered on his body. The night in the mountains was cold, and a gust of cold wind blew in, waking the child up cold. The eight-year-old boy just curled up tightly, trying to cover the whole body of the hide. Jian Chuan casually looked sideways, and suddenly his eyes widened, facing the deep blue night sky framed by the half-open wooden lattice window. Through the window, you can see that beautiful night, the stars are shining, the half-curved crescent moon is sinking in the west, almost setting the mountain peaks on that side. There are a few pine and cypress trees looming under the stars, but not much. There were a few coughing sounds from the monk's room not far away, presumably the great monk couldn't stand the cold in the mountains.
Lonely!
This is how Jian Chuan felt at this time.
