Chapter 399: Puzzle Clearing
readx; The ancient temple was originally only developed for the villagers, the villagers will visit the temple every fifteenth day of the new year, and there are major festivals, and the rest of the time the temple is very quiet, but I don't know why, so many people came at once today, the abbot is old, like Qing Xiu, and the little monk is not satisfied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xing Yanyan understood them very well, so he said that he would not ask the abbot for a solution today, but since he came, he could help them clean the temple, which not only helped the old abbot, but also wanted to feel the baptism of the Buddha.
She thought that she couldn't force it, if the abbot was not happy today, she would have to find a chance to come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so she would simply help the abbot do something today, after all, the abbot was old, and it was not easy to do so much physical work, and if she really helped them, it would also reflect her sincerity.
The abbot did not refuse Xing Yanyan's kindness, and explained a few words to the little monk, so he asked the little monk to find a broom and give them a few. So Xing Yanyan, Lin Lan and Jingchen. Follow the little monk to help the abbot clean the courtyard, and the abbot walks into the main hall and keeps chanting the Buddha.
With the sound of real wooden fish, Xing Yanyan's heart also calmed down a lot, even if it was just a simple sweep, she felt that this place was very different, she thought that if her father could come over in person, he would definitely like this place very much.
It's a pity that the abbot doesn't like to bother, and she won't dare to bring others here easily in the future, so she should respect the abbot's preferences more.
It was evening when they had finished cleaning the courtyard, and they were ready to go back, but the abbot came out of the main hall, told them to stay, and thanked them personally, and asked them what they wanted to solve.
Xing Yanyan knew that it was their words and deeds that moved the abbot, and the abbot made an exception to receive them today.
Xing Yanyan was very happy, so he entered the hall with the abbot.
The hall is very simple, all the furnishings are very old, including the statue of the Buddha on the main hall is relatively small, not as grand as in the newly built temple before her, but the things exude the flavor of history, as if each object has its own unique story, and people's hearts can't help but be solemn and quiet.
The abbot asked her what she wanted to ask for. She didn't want to ask much, she just wanted to ask about her father's condition, and she didn't know what else she could do for her father in his old age, and she could make up for the filial piety owed for so many years.
The abbot was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Ling Zun has advanced lung cancer?"
Xing Yanyan was very surprised, is the heart really so magical, there are really many incomprehensible things in the world? But she understood the abbot's words.
The abbot said that he tasted a familiar smell of medicine from her, and the abbot knew how to heal, and he had been in contact with many patients treated by medicine or Western medicine, so he could roughly guess what kind of disease Xing Yanyan's father had, and when Xing Yanyan asked the question, his expression was browning, and the state of the whole person was very eager and expectant, and he was also very concerned about life and death and wanted to keep his father, so he could guess what her father's condition was.
The abbot's speculation was just speculation from reasoning, it was not so suspenseful, and the abbot did not pretend to be a ghost, Xing Yanyan had a little doubt, and he told her everything bluntly, which made Xing Yanyan more and more admired and convinced.
Xing Yanyan said: "I am very distressed, I don't know how long my father can live, and I don't know what to do so that my father can enjoy his old age without any regrets." ”
The abbot asked her what kind of person Ling Zun was, and Xing Yanyan said that she was a philanthropist and liked to do charity very much.
The abbot smiled, but he was relieved, he said: "Ling Zun has no regrets in this life, what he wants to do most now is to live the rest of his life happily with you, you don't need to worry, just do your best to accompany him." ”
Xing Yanyan didn't understand very much, so the abbot enlightened her, saying that her father had no worries about food and clothing all his life, and from how much ambition and pursuit he had to do charity, he should be a more happy and ideal person, and in his later years, he had found his daughter, his career was relatively smooth, and his successor had been selected, and he had no regrets. What her father pursued in this life, he should have worked hard to live through practical actions in his life, although he was sick, he was actually a happy person.
The abbot wanted Xing Yanyan to understand her father from a spiritual level, and after Xing Yanyan was enlightened, he also felt that his father was a happy person, so he was not so worried and depressed.
She added: "I am a very conflicted person, because of the previous experiences, I have a lot of hesitation in judging things, and I don't know how to follow my mind and really achieve what I want." ”
The abbot said, "You now understand very well that the confusion of the mind is a good thing, and since you understand it, you know how to solve it." ”
Xing Yanyan was puzzled: "I don't know how to solve it." ”
The abbot filled the teacup with water and moved to another table, but the water in the teacup spilled so much that only two-thirds of the water remained. When Xing Yanyan splashed all the way out, she couldn't help frowning, feeling quite a pity.
Later, the abbot poured two-thirds of the water and slowly moved it to the table, so that the whole process went relatively smoothly, and the two-thirds of the water was retained. Xing Yanyan's brows also stretched.
In the abbot, the old eyes revealed the clarity of the common people, and he said: "The result is the same, but the former will make people suffer from gains and losses, and feel irritable, while the latter has a great sense of achievement." Your confusion is just that you want to do everything well, but many things can't be done well by colleagues, but you should know how to make trade-offs. ”
Xing Yanyan was half confused and half understood. The abbot folded his hands together and said that he had solved the confusion of her heart. Xing Yanyan knew that the abbot had finished speaking and wanted to change to another person, so she had to reluctantly get up and leave.
She waited in the courtyard for Lin Lan and Jingchen to solve her doubts, but she kept touching her chin and thinking about the question mentioned by the abbot, and she still felt a little as she didn't understand, she wondered if she was really as the abbot said, did she want to catch too many results?
A lilac tree was planted in the yard, and the branches were full of flowers. They had just cleaned the yard, but after a while, a thin petal fell in the yard, and Xing Yanyan stared at the petals and sighed deeply.
They went back almost as soon as the sun had set, but they encountered a heavy rain.
The weather on the island has been very good these days, but a light rain began to fall last night, indicating that there may be rain for the next few days, and the weather on the seaside is unpredictable, and there is a lot of rain, sometimes without warning.
Xing Yanyan, Jingchen, and Lin Lan didn't think to bring an umbrella when they went out, and they were drenched halfway, so they could only go to the primary school in the village to hide from the rain.
The children were already out of school, it was raining again, and the school was empty. They stood in the hallway on the first floor of the school building to shelter from the rain.
The cold wind drifted in with the rain, and Xing Yanyan and Lin Lan shivered from the cold. Jingchen, seeing that the door of a classroom behind him was actually unlocked, and the door buckle was tightly fastened, so he tried to open it to really walk in, so he called Xing Yanyan and Lin Lan in.
The desks and chairs in the classroom were low, and there was nothing else except for some books, and it was probably a classroom in the first or second grade of elementary school. Because the stool was so small, they didn't sit on it, and ended up sitting at the desk.
Jingchen checked all the windows, closed them all if there was any leakage, and then closed the door as well, finally blocking the wind and rain outside. He turned to them and asked, "Do you still feel cold?"
The two girls shook their heads, and he was relieved to find a free desk and sit down.
Lin Lan looked at the rain outside the window and sighed: "Why is it getting bigger and bigger, when is this going to fall?"
"It's hard to say. Jingchen shook his head, "It rained for a long time last night, I thought the weather was bad this morning, but I didn't expect the sun to be on the morning when I got up, but it fell again at this time." ”
"Alas, that's it close to the sea, there's no choice but to accept fate, wait for the rain to stop and go back!" Lin Lan sighed.
Jingchen Xing Yanyan was worried that she was cold, she didn't seem to like to wear thick clothes very much, and every time he saw her in winter, he felt that she was wearing very little.
However, Xing Yanyan has been much better since she entered the classroom, she didn't tremble with her arms folded like standing outside, and she was looking down to play with her mobile phone, as if she was going to make a call.
Lin Lan sat beside her, so she held her hand and said, "Don't call, it's lightning and thunder outside, it's better not to call!"
"It's indoors, I'm worried about my dad......"
Xing Yanyan raised his head and just explained, Lin Lan said again: "It's not good indoors, your room, this rural classroom, it's also a little old, I'm worried about whether this lightning protection facility is done well, this island is so empty, the possibility of lightning is relatively high, for the sake of safety, don't fight, the rain will stop later!"
Xing Yanyan sighed, and could only put away his phone. Lin Lan was even more exaggerated, took out his mobile phone, and turned it off directly.
Several people waited for a while, but before the rain stopped, they heard someone outside the door cursing irritably: "Damn, this damn weather, how can you say that it rains, it rains, and my whole body is dirty!"
This voice is a woman's voice, and it is quite familiar, a few people were surprised, when they saw someone push open the door of the classroom and walk in, the three of them were stunned, Fu Yiying and Lu Xintou were holding an umbrella together, and hurriedly walked in.
At this time, the clothes of the two were wet, half of Fu Yiying's leather trouser legs were still covered with mud, and her ultra-high-heeled boots were also soaked in muddy water, which was dirty. Lu Xintou is no better than Fu Yiying, they share an umbrella, maybe because he takes care of Fu Yiying, he is more wet than Fu Yiying, and his leather shoes are also full of mud, the two of them were drenched in the rain, and they ran in the rain for a while before finding this place to hide from the rain.
I didn't expect them to come to the school too, and it was a coincidence!
