Chapter 11 Silkworm Baby

Zhang Xiulan looked at the sister-in-law who walked away, and her intestines were also repentant, and she said a few words to Li Cuihua and was about to leave.

Li Cuihua didn't let her go back empty-handed, but still cut a pound of pork for her.

Zhang Xiulan was suddenly a little embarrassed, she didn't remember how long she hadn't been on the door of this uncle's house, and when she came today, she was actually a little shocked, especially when she looked at a few children in tattered clothes, she actually regretted it.

"Sister-in-law, your family has a large population, you can keep this meat and eat it yourself!" Zhang Xiulan shirked for the first time.

Li Cuihua pushed it over again, "If you want to take it, take it back, and take it back to relieve the children's hunger, big spring, don't boil it." ”

Zhang Xiulan blinked her somewhat sour eyes, took the meat, and walked away with her head down.

Meow Meow saw her mother staring at the back of her second aunt in a daze, and asked in a milky voice, "Mother, do you like the second aunt?" ”

Li Cuihua touched her daughter's head, and she didn't think she could understand, so she muttered a few words casually, "Your second aunt is not bad, when she moved out with your second uncle, it was better than our family, it was driven out by your sister-in-law with a kitchen knife, and there was no place to stay." It was also your second aunt's mother's family who paid for two earthen houses, and then they had a home.

Your second uncle is a person who doesn't care about anything, and that family is all supported by your second aunt, otherwise, it would have broken up long ago. ”

Seeing that everyone was gone, Miao Dahai went down to the ground with his three sons.

Li Cuihua didn't go to the field in the afternoon, so she marinated the leftover pork at home, saving some and eating it for several months.

Outside the fence, there are Miao Le and Meow Meow brothers and sisters left.

Miao Le held a stick in his hand and continued to dig out the ant nest next to the root of the tree, and Meow Meow was beside him with his hands on his cheeks and looked into the distance.

The ant nest was all smashed, and Miao Le was really bored, so he leaned on the root of the tree and asked, "Meow, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, although their village is at the foot of Daming Mountain, few people run to the mountains for a living.

The reason is nothing more than that I am afraid that I will accidentally violate the ban and dare not enter the mountain easily.

Meow Meow thought about it for a long time, but she didn't have a good idea, and when she heard the fourth brother calling her, her big eyes blinked, and she asked glutinously, "Fourth brother, did you thank the Buddha when you ate pork?" ”

"Huh? What? Thanks to the Buddha? Miao Le sat up in fright and asked in surprise.

Meow Meow nodded seriously, "Yes, we picked it up next to the Jokhang Temple, it must have been given to us by the Buddha, shouldn't we be grateful?" ”

Miao Le scratched his head, remembering that at that time, such a big wild boar crashed into him and died, isn't it very evil, maybe it is really blessed by the Buddha?

Meow Meow saw that the fourth brother believed it, and made persistent efforts, "Yes, the hands of others are short, and the mouths of eating others are short, we have to kowtow to the Buddha!" ”

Miao Le was a little entangled, "But my mother said that the mountains are too dangerous, and I am not allowed to take you again!" Find out again, my mother is going to pick my skin! ”

Meow Meow sighed deeply and pouted, "Anyway, I'm going, Fourth Brother, you can do it yourself." ”

Of course, Miao Le is not afraid of any Buddha to blame, he is worried about his such a cute girl, what if he falls or encounters some beast?

The last gritted his teeth, "Good! I'll go with you tomorrow! Keep it a secret, though! ”

Meow Meow nodded happily, and the two little tuggers on her head trembled, stretching out her little fingers, "Pull the hook!" ”

In this way, Miao Le was fooled by his sister to go up the mountain again.

Early the next morning, as soon as Miao Dahai and the others left, the Meow Meow brothers and sisters closed the courtyard door and secretly went up the mountain.

The mountain air is particularly fresh in the early morning, and Meow Meow takes a deep breath greedily.

Soon, the brother and sister arrived at the temple, because it was still early, and the pilgrims had not yet come, only a few monks were cleaning the courtyard.

When I saw the two children come up, I knew that they were nearby villagers when I looked at their clothes, smiled at them in a friendly way, and continued with the work in hand.

Meow meow kowtowed to the Buddha decently, put incense on it, and was extremely pious.

One is to pay tribute to her dead self, and the other is to pay tribute to the little girl who never appeared in her dream again.

In contrast, Miaole is much more sloppy.

Hurriedly inserted the incense into the incense burner, pulled Meow and left, "Okay, let's go back quickly!" ”

"Hey, hey, fourth brother!" Meowth leaned back and grabbed him.

Miao Le looked back at her.

Meow Meow wrinkled her little face and covered her little belly, "Fourth brother, I want to go to Gongfang." ”

Miao Le hurriedly let go of his hand, "Then you go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for you here!" ”

"Hey!" Meow Meow answered crisply, stepped away from his short legs, and ran out.

Miao Le looked at his sister's small figure and raised his little chin proudly: The current sister is so cute!

Meow meow along the high walls of the temple and wander to the backyard.

She originally remembered that there would always be some manual work in the temple that needed to fold sacrificial supplies, and if she could take some home to do, she and the fourth brother would also have some income.

As long as there is silver, it can make money, not as it is now, pointing at the rooster and laying eggs.

But I didn't see anyone to inquire about.

I was about to return the same way, when I suddenly saw a monk in the courtyard next to me, bringing out a round bamboo dustpan from the house, one after another, a total of more than a dozen.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

The monk was fiddling with the contents of the dustpan, when he heard a small milk voice asking, and after looking around, he realized that there was a little man standing under the dustpan.

Not as tall as his thighs, dressed in coarse cloth with patches, he looked like a child from a poor family, but he was born with red lips and white teeth, fleshy cheeks with baby fat, and a pair of big watery eyes.

It's just that these little thin arms and legs are a little malnourished at first glance, which makes people feel pity.

Looking more closely, the monk was stunned.

Meow Meow saw him staring at herself, and for some reason, she was a little flustered.

Before she could speak again, the monk saw the monk with his eyes closed, his hands folded, and reciting a few words of Buddhist language that she did not understand.

In her previous life, her kind parents died early, leaving only her and her young brother with heart disease, so she did not believe in Buddhism, nor in life, but only in herself.

But after crossing over, she had to believe it.

After the monk recited a few words of Buddhist scriptures, he returned to his original appearance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and patiently told her, "Amitabha, the little donor is early, the poor monk here is a silkworm." ”

"Can I take a look?" Meow meow pads her little feet and tries to stretch her neck.

"Yes." The monk smiled, took one of the bamboo dustpans off the rack and placed it on a low stool on the side.

At first glance, Meow Meow was also startled, and she had goosebumps all over her body when she saw the big white meat insects.

But he still asked seriously, it was nothing more than where this thing came from, how to spin silk, and how to feed it.
