In the autumn half moon, the plants in the Big Buddha Temple begin to turn yellow, and the dead branches and frost leaves on the courtyard wall also fall more and faster.

In Li Ye's eyes, he always seemed unhappy enough, and the scenery on both sides of the mountain road behind the mountain was becoming more and more desolate.

After more than ten days of training, he has become much faster in carrying water in the back mountain, but the steward of the dining hall told him that it will get colder after autumn, and the water in the dining hall will be much less, and he only needs to draw four jars of stream water in the future.

Li Ye nodded, and his heart was merciful, and he let himself sleep and copy scriptures more often.

During this time, Mu Mu came to Xiaoqing and brought him some rice oil, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and two bags of tea.

Mu Mu brought him a few boxes of apricot blossom cakes, which made Li Ye very happy. I thought that in the future, if I was hungry at night, I would not need to cook porridge on the fire.

Mu Mu looked at the vacant room, frowned and said, "I moved in with Xiaoqing, how about staying with my brother for a few days?"

Li Yeyi, who was swallowing the apricot blossom cake, was stunned, waved his hand and said: "Stop, stop, I have to get up before dawn to practice, and I can rest in peace when the sun sets, what are you two here? Do you want me to tell my master about the loneliness of cultivation, and I want my sister to come over to accompany me?"

Mu Mu sat on the bed, shook his calves, looked at him with disgust and said, "If you are shy, Xiaoqing and I will go to find the old monk and grandfather, he likes me and Xiaoqing very much." ”

"Absolutely not, I'm half tired during the day, and I have to copy scriptures for my uncle at night, how can I have time to play with you? Li Ye sat on the edge of the bed regardless of Mu Mu, lay down on his own, and pretended to close his eyes.

Xiaoqing opened her mouth and said, "Li Ye, you haven't swept the floor in your husband's yard, why did you run to the Big Buddha Temple to sweep the floor?"

Mu Mu nodded "mmmm" on the side, and looked back at Li Ye who was lying behind him.

Li Ye, who had his eyes closed, sighed softly and said weakly: "There are 48,000 methods of Buddhist practice, which can you people in the world pay attention to?"

Mu Mu glared at him and shouted, "I don't understand." ”

"If you don't understand, go back and ask sir, I'm tired and want to sleep, you must know that I will get up before dawn, then you will both fall asleep. Li Ye said with a smile.

Xiaoqing looked at Li Ye with a tired face, and gently pulled Mu Mu's sleeve and said, "Mu Mu, let's go back, if you don't understand, ask Mr. and let him sleep for a while." We'll bring Xiaobai over another day. ”

Mu Mu angrily pushed Li Ye and pouted, "When I come back from Tianshan, my brother doesn't hurt Mu Mu anymore." ”

Li Ye's eyes opened, glared at her and said, "Besides, I don't care about you, I let my mother watch you practice the qin for two hours every day." ”

Mu Mu stuck out his tongue in fright, jumped out of bed and pulled Xiaoqing out, and said fiercely: "Mu Mu will roast a fat chicken next time and bring it here, and don't give it to my brother." ”

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "Go back and watch Xiaobai write, that guy is also a slacker." After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Xiaoqing pulled Mu Mu out and said as she walked: "It seems that what Mr. said is true, Li Ye came to the Big Buddha Temple to suffer." ”

Mu Mu frowned and said, "When you go back, you have to ask Mr. carefully, my brother has been suffering on the Tianshan Mountain for two years, and he will come back."

Go to the Big Buddha Temple to carry water and sweep the floor. ”

Xiaoqing followed and said, "Mmmm, let's go back and talk about it." ”

......

When the two returned to Zizhu Courtyard, Ye Zhiqiu hugged Li Xiaoxue, who woke up, and fed autumn pear syrup.

looked at Mu Mu and Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "You came back just in time, today's autumn pear sugar water is boiled a little more, and you each have a bowl." ”

Mu Mu washed her little hands in the basin outside the front of the hall, stepped forward and touched Li Xiaoxue's face and said, "I'm not in the mood today, I can't eat it!"

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned.

The gentleman sitting in front of the hall reading a book.

It was the first time they had heard Mu Mu say such words.

Xiaoqing looked at the appearance of her husband and Ye Zhiqiu, and smiled: "Mu Mu is angry with the old monk in the Great Buddha Temple, and it is also angry with Li Ye." ”

The gentleman frowned and said, "What do you say?"

Ye Zhiqiu pulled Mu Mu over and was about to ask her.

Mu Mu looked at his husband and said: "My brother has suffered for two years on the Tianshan Mountain, and this time he went to the Big Buddha Temple to carry water and sweep the floor, and I heard that he also had to chop firewood! ”

"My brother said that there are 48,000 ways to practice Buddhism, and said that I don't understand Xiaoqing, and I want to come back and ask Mr. ”

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, she was also stunned, she only knew that Li Ye went to the Big Buddha Temple to practice Buddhism, but she didn't know that her son was going to endure hardships.

Mr. frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that you and Xiaoqing have lived too comfortably over the years, do you want me to quit all the servants in the house, and let you three little guys do the work of carrying water, chopping wood, sweeping the floor, cooking, and cooking vegetables in the future?"

"Ye'er himself didn't complain, what are you doing behind him? I don't understand the Dharma and say to practice, isn't it in Ye'er's room in the "Dizang Sutra", which of the three of you has read it?"

"His path was chosen by himself, not by me and the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple. If you are able to live a worry-free life in the city, you must always have a grateful heart. ”

When Mu Mu heard this, he stretched out his tongue and hid behind Ye Zhiqiu.

"It seems that in the past two years, your state of mind cultivation is still not enough, just reading and writing is far from enough. ”

The gentleman looked at the two and said.

"Think about it, think about it seriously, think about the day Li Ye met you in Tianshan, and when did he be lazy? He suffered on Tianshan, and what was forced to do by others? What you see in your eyes is what Ye'er wants you to see, but it is not necessarily true. ”

"Practice well, practice seriously. Don't just look at things around you with your eyes, learn to see with your heart! After saying so much today, if you can't figure it out in the future, you will go to the Big Buddha Temple and practice with Ye'er. ”

"Let you all taste what is called the evening drum and morning bell, what is called smelling the chicken dancing, and what is called sweeping the floor and sweeping the heart!"

After speaking, the gentleman got up and left, and walked into his study with the scroll in his hand.

Li Hongsleeve, who heard the movement in front of the hall, ran out and asked with a grin: "What's going on, it's so noisy outside?"

Mu Mu pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Xiaoqing said with red eyes: "It seems that we said the wrong thing and made Mr. angry." ”

Ye Zhiqiu took out a silk scarf to wipe Li Xiaoxue's mouth, and sighed softly.

looked at Li Hongsleeve and said, "Mr. is angry for Ye'er's cultivation, and we all blame him." ”

Li Hongsleeve sat at the table, took a sip of Mr.'s teacup, and couldn't help laughing.

He said casually, "What happened to me? It turned out to be for that guy." You are also worried in vain, he is now invulnerable, even if he suffers some hardships, it is to hone his body. ”

"Sister, I didn't say you, although you are already a master of the Jindan realm, you can take a knife and cut it yourself? Xiaoqing, your realm is similar to mine, do you dare to cut you with a knife? Mu Mu, you don't need to say it, little brat." ”

After speaking, he looked at a few people with disgust, pointed to the sugar water in the pot and said, "Xiaoqing will serve me a bowl." ”

Mu Mu hurriedly came up, protected the bowl and said, "I'll come first." ”

Ye Zhiqiu pulled Mu Mu over and said with a smile: "It's all there, what is the family robbing? ”

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and laughed, carefully put three bowls on the table, picked up one and tasted it gently.

Ye Zhiqiu let out a long sigh and said, "We are all concerned about chaos, and we all want to have a happier night." ”

"My husband said, except for the New Year's holidays, you can pick him up, don't disturb his practice on weekdays, and the Big Buddha Temple will bring a letter back if there is something. ”

Li Hongsleeve picked up the sugar water, took a sip and said, "It's so sweet." ”

Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and walked out, and said, "What did you say sweet?"

Li Hongsleeve was stunned, slapped his buttocks, and scolded: "You little lazy pig, you only know how to sleep." Have you copied a thousand words today?"

Xiaobai was shocked when he heard this, and ran behind Xiaoqing in fright, patted his chest and said, "Master, can you not be scary." ”

Xiaoqing handed him the sugar water he had drunk half-drunk: "I drank half of it, do you want it?"

"Of course, why don't you drink it?" Xiao Bai confidently took the sugar water handed by Xiao Qing.

Li Hongsleeve pointed at him helplessly, shook his head and said, "You are a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, I really don't understand how Li Ye taught you on the top of the Tianshan Mountain." ”

Li Xiaoxue clapped her little hands and screamed: "Pig...... Pig ......"

Ye Zhiqiu glared at Li Hongsleeve and said with a smile: "You scold, don't take Xiaoxue badly." ”

Xiao Bai drank all the sugar water in the bowl, wiped his mouth, looked at Li Hongsleeve and laughed.

He said: "Master, don't you know, how can my brother teach me in the mountains? In addition to his own practice, he is copying scriptures, and the only thing that cares about me is cooking, washing dishes, and sweeping the floor, and I have never been hungry after staying with him for a year. ”

Xiaobai thought to himself that he couldn't control me if he wanted to, then I would still be a little white wolf, how would he discipline me?

Li Hongsleeve sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Thinking about Li Ye, it was really hard to live, and he finally went to Tianshan to practice, but he didn't expect to feed a greedy pig and pick up a greedy sister." ”

Ye Zhiqiu laughed out loud, lifted Li Hong's sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister, you are married, and you also know how to take care of your own mouth." ”

Mu Mu put down the bowl he had eaten, jumped in front of Li Hongsleeve, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me five gold coins." ”

Li Hongsleeve was stunned and glared at her: "Little wealth fan, when do I owe you money?"

Mu Mu looked at her reluctantly and said, "Just say that you don't give it or not, don't regret it if you don't give it to you." ”

Li Hongsleeve glanced at Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing twisted it and lowered her body to tease Li Xiaoxue.

Li Hongsleeve thought for a while and said: "I don't have it on my body, I owe it first, and I will go to the restaurant tomorrow to pick it up and give it later." ”

Mu Mu nodded, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Mother, you come to testify, my mother owes me five gold coins." After speaking, he clenched his fists and walked mysteriously in front of Li Hongsleeve.

He took her hand and said, "Remember to give it to me tomorrow." After speaking, he easily opened his little hand.

Li Hongsleeve felt that a hard object was stuffed into Mu Mu's hand, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, looked at Mu Mu and said, "Where did this come from?"

I saw a shining ruby, lying quietly in the palm of my hand.

Ye Zhiqiu was also very shocked, and glared at Mu Mu with Li Hongsleeve.

Mu Mu pouted and said, "Remember that you owe Mu Mu five gold coins." ”

Li Hongsleeve nodded.

"This is my brother to Mu Mu, saying that there were too many people on the day of the marriage, and he forgot to give the wedding gift to the master. Let Mu Mu give it to you today on his behalf, be satisfied!"

Mu Mu patted his chest and said, "You all have to be nice to me, my brother's things are Mu Mu's." ”

Li Hongsleeve put the ruby in his palm in the sun to look at it carefully, and muttered, "This guy is really amazing!"

Ye Zhiqiu glared at her and said, "You should be satisfied now, right? I am her mother, and I don't have the treatment of you as a teacher." ”

Li Hongsleeve put away the ruby, looked at Ye Zhiqiu, and blushed.

said softly: "Sister, don't be angry, I'll ask you for one when that guy comes back another day, see if he gives it or not." That Tianshan Snow Lotus is much more valuable than this gem, and he didn't give it to me. ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled. "Where would I argue with my own son, don't take it seriously. ”

Li Hongsleeves looked at Mu Mu, who was holding Li Xiaoxue to play in the garden, and shouted, "Mu Mu, come here, I want to check the contents of your bracelet." ”

Mu Mu hugged Li Xiaoxue and turned around and made a grimace, stretched out his little tongue, and said, "Mu Mu is naturally Mu Mu's, remember that you owe me five gold coins." ”

Xiaoqing picked up the pot of boiling sugar water and pulled Xiaobai to the kitchen, she was also afraid that Li Hongsleeve would come to check her things.

"The master took the gem to make a beautiful ring, and it was given by my brother for my husband. Mu Mu's voice came from the garden.
