I was so patient, I don't know how many times I waved the shovel, a pot of hot dishes finally appeared in front of me as I wished, I picked up the chopsticks and carefully tasted the hard-won fruits of labor.

"Phew!" I took a sip hard, salty to death, but after looking at the time, it was too late to do it again, and the Taoist priest of my own family was okay to say, but if the believers outside didn't understand, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the Taoist temple?

My brain was spinning rapidly, first think of a way to round the past today, I really had no choice but to add water to the pot, a good pot of dishes, and I made it into soup.

Such a meal of chickens, flying dogs, and jumping dogs, after a lot of hardships, was finally served on the table.

The sweat on my face mixed with black ash left a mark on my face, which made me a little itchy, and wiped my face indiscriminately, so I squatted next to the stove and let it go for a long time.

Well, let's do this today, and talk about it tomorrow.

The exhaustion of the day made me drowsy, I washed my face so-so, and went directly back to the Zhenqian Courtyard to sleep, strangely, Xuanhu did not come to see me.

Not long after I fell asleep, I was woken up in my sleep, I rubbed my eyes, and then I saw that this person was Xuanhu.

Xuanhu pulled me up from the bed: "Get up and cook." ”

I said helplessly, "What time is it, what am I cooking?" ”

Xuanhu had a cold face: "Do morning classes at four o'clock and eat at five o'clock, if you don't do it now, will everyone be hungry together?" ”

I looked up at the watch on the wall, and my God, it wasn't even three o'clock. I'm holding my breath in my heart now, no matter what, I can't admit it, don't I just don't sleep? Anyway, it's the pill again, just do it!

Thinking of this, I quickly put on my clothes and went straight out.

When I arrived at the room, I realized that it was not easy for a Taoist priest to eat, and the first thing I had to do was not to cook, but to fetch water.

Two buckets like water tanks and a pole were my only tools, and I put them on my shoulders and went out through the side door towards the mouth of the river.

Two water tanks are filled with water on the shoulder, at least 100 catties, and the road behind the mountain is extremely muddy, plus in the late autumn morning, there is some thin ice on the road, and it is difficult to walk.

Moreover, as long as the flat shoulder is carried on the shoulder, it is easy to not put it down, and if you are not careful, it is easy to lose your balance before and after, and you will choke on.

I gritted my teeth, my feet were extremely careful, step by step, and finally arrived at the Taoist temple, when I was relieved to unload the two buckets, but found that my shoulder was surprisingly painful, I lifted my clothes and looked, good guy, just such a little road, actually put the blood on my shoulder.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself: I didn't think I was still a tender meat with fine skin.

After repeating it several times, he finally filled the large water tank in the Taoist temple, and then made a series of the same actions as yesterday, chopping wood and chopping vegetables......

Most of the day, I was wandering around the stove, and it was in this kind of boring day, unconsciously, that I spent a month, during which no one from the master, Xuanhu, or even Yu Lan came to see me.

And the Taoist temple has long been back on track, everything looks so orderly, only I can't get back on track.

At first, I was still thinking about what the master and Xuanhu said, but later, I didn't want to, and there were a few times when I was in a trance that I should be like this in my life.

During this period, whether it is chopping wood and carrying water, or living and cooking, my skills are becoming more and more skillful, I can't even split the wooden pier at the beginning, and now I can easily break through one tree stump, and the pace of carrying water is becoming more and more steady, carrying two buckets of water on my body, walking under the wind at my feet, without any ambiguity.

I suddenly found that I had become accustomed to, and even started to enjoy, this life. In fact, it's good to get used to it, and if you can't get used to the surrounding environment, you're competing with yourself.

But just when I was enjoying myself, Xuanhu found me again.

One autumn afternoon, Xuanhu pushed open the door of the room and patted me who was making a fire, standing in front of me with a slight smile on his face.

I hurriedly stood up and arched my hand and said, "I've seen Master Xuanhu." ”

Xuanhu hammered my chest hard: "Well, it's a lot stronger." ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Xuanhu continued: "Don't do it, come with me." ”

I shook my head, "No, I'll delay dinner." ”

Xuanhu smiled: "Let's go, you don't have to worry about dinner at night." ”
