Volume 1 Chapter 10: Cultivation is Difficult

Slowly waking up from my meditation and feeling good today! There is a feeling of being close to the mountains and forests, close to the heaven and earth! But I still don't feel the aura, and there are often pictures in my heart where Xiaoni is caught in the air, Huahua suddenly flies away from her side, and her mother talks to herself!

Grab a knife and close the door! Sang Lin walked home, it was not dark when he got home, and his mother was actually cooking! Sang Lin silently went to help, except for the sound of his mother chopping vegetables, there was no other sound at home! It's quiet! This silent silence is terrifying!

The next morning, before dawn, I walked to Qingfeng Town, how resolute the former mulberry forest seemed to be walking in this vast mountain, and how lonely and helpless the current mulberry forest was walking in this quiet mountain stream! The horizontal knife in the hand gives people a feeling that no one is close to them!

When I came to the town, I walked directly to the Masashiro, and the guard guard saw Sang Lin and stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Sang Lin hugged his fists and said: May I ask if Lord Haojiang of Jiangmen is here? I'm Sanglin, and I'm looking for Master Jiang if I have something.

Oh, you're the tiger hero? Then you enter.

Sang Lin thanked him and walked directly into the Yamen of the Li Zheng Division, and saw Jiang Men Hao in the hall, hugged his fists, and saw Master Jiang,

Jiang Menhao saw that it was Sang Lin and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: Brother Sang Lin, I heard what Liu Lao said about your family! You okay?

Sang Lin hugged his fists and said: Lord Xie Jiang is worried! Kid is good! I am not satisfied with Lord Jiang, I came to ask Lord Jiang to help me.

Jiang Menhao asked curiously: Brother Sanglin, please say,

Sang Lin said directly: Master Jiang, my father disappeared three years ago, and my mother, sister, and my mother-in-law are the only ones at home! But now my sister and mother-in-law have been arrested! My mother is also sick now! I want to ask Master Jiang who has a girl like my sister in this neighborhood, and I will accept her as a righteous sister, and I will not worry about eating and drinking from now on. If I have my parents, I will give three taels of silver as their family payment, and I only need them to help me take care of my mother! I'm so focused on practicing!

If in the future, Lord Jiang will never postpone any matter that needs to use my mulberry forest.

Jiangmen Hao nodded and said: This is a good thing, there are too many poor families in ten miles and eight villages, if you can give them food, it will be great! This year, the snow is heavy, and there are people who have frozen to death! It's a pity I can't do anything about it! You come in and wait, and I'll do it."

Jiang Men Hao went outside and went out with eight servants, and Sang Lin sat in the house and waited, and about two hours later, he brought in six little girls who were dressed thinly, and one of them even wore a dress! My face is blue from the cold! There are two skinny bones who are both hungry!

Sang Lin asked: What is this?

Jiang Menhao said helplessly: They are all orphans! My parents are gone!

Sang Lin looked at the six little girls in front of him and asked, "How old are you?"

One is older, fifteen, two twelve, two ten, and one is nine!

Jiangmen Hao said: Brother Sanglin, if you can, I hope you can bring them back! I don't have any money to help them now! If they go on like this, they're all going to starve to death!

Sanglin nodded and said: Lord Lizheng, although I, Sanglin, am not a great good person, but I am not a person who cannot be saved when I die! Let me ask them.

Sang Lin asked: "Are the six of you willing to go home with me, and you will have enough food and clothes to wear every day in the future, but I want you to take good care of my mother, can you do it?"

The six little girls all nodded together and said, "As long as we can eat enough, we can beg the adults to take us in!"

Sang Lin hugged his fist to Jiangmen Hao and said, "Master Jiang, I'll go back to practice!" In the future, as long as you can use my mulberry forest, you can send a message, and I will be there immediately.

Jiang Menhao is also a cheerful person, nodded and said: Go, go back and practice hard! Hope you can find your sister and mother-in-law.

Sang Lin nodded and looked back at the six dirty little sisters-in-law and said, "It's noon, I'll take you to dinner." I'm buying you clothes. Let's go!

Sang Lin took six people to the inn to take a bath and eat, and then changed into cotton jackets for each of them and bought new shoes! After buying a few more sets of clothes and quilts, I took them back.

Walking on the road, Sang Lin asked the fifteen-year-old girl: What is your name?

Back to my lord, my name is Liu Camellia, I know you, you are what they call the hero of fighting tigers

(According to normal logic, the mountain people at that time had no culture, either called, spring flowers, or cauliflowers, or dog-tail flowers)

Let me tell you, my sister was captured by bad people, and now my mother is still talking to herself every day because she can't see my sister, don't make a fuss when the time comes, take care of her, I asked you to take care of my mother, do you understand?

Camellia, do you understand? You are the biggest here, you have to take care of them, ask me to take care of the family, I want to practice! I don't have time to take care of my mother.

Camellia nodded and replied: "Understood, I will definitely help you take care of your mother."

Sang Lin said at this time: Also, since I promised to accept you as a righteous sister, you have to call me brother, my mother is your mother, and you have to call your mother when you return home, understand?

A few little girls agreed to know.

You're all surnamed Liu, right? From then on, you will be called Erya, you will be called Sanya, you will be called Siya, you will be called Wuya, and you will be called Liuya.

When I got home, it was almost dark, and I just arrived at the door of the house and saw my mother waiting for the mulberry forest in the yard.

Why did you come back, Heiwa? Who are they?

Mother, they are all my sisters-in-law, I brought them back to help you cook!

Sang Mu nodded! Oh! Let's all go inside and eat.

Sanglin's house: a room for mothers, a room for mulberry forests, a room for Ni and Huahua, a room for kitchens, a sheepfold, a toilet, and a yard.

At night, Sang Lin added two beds in his room overnight, Camellia quickly spread a thick quilt, Sang Lin said to the six people: You three people sleep in one bed for the time being, the next room is my sister Sang Xiaoni's room, and now my mother often goes to talk to herself at night and talk to Ni! Therefore you cannot go and live, but live in this house, and I will build you a room later.

When Sang Lin got up the next morning, he saw Camellia helping his mother cook, Erya was burning the fire, two were sweeping the floor, and the two were tidying up the house! Twittering about something! Now the mulberry forest feels less deserted! As soon as she walked to the kitchen, Camellia shouted: Brother, are you up?

Sang Lin said with a sigh: In the future, add more firewood to the stove at home, and cut some if there is no firewood! This will be your home from now on, you have to arrange it well, and tell my brother if you lack anything.

Several girls are very sensible, leaving a seat empty for Xiao Ni when eating, and seeing Sang Mu calling Ni to eat, and picking vegetables and calling Ni to eat, there is no fuss! Sang Lin nodded! Now I am finally relieved! It's very good to see it at the end of the day!

The next morning, Sang Lin packed up his things, called the camellia and went up the mountain! When he arrived at the mountain house, Sang Lin said: Camellia, I will practice here in the future, you go to the town tomorrow to buy more steamed buns, and put them outside for food and water! Or I go back to eat by myself, and the reaction is that the little things can't bother me! These are twenty copper plates, you put them on your body, and buy them if you lack anything. If something big happens at home, come and call me immediately, do you understand?

Brother, I see. Then I'll go back to take care of my mother.

Well, there you go, then.

Mulberry Lin added firewood to make the house warmer, picked up the "Taiyi True Scripture" and looked at it, read it seriously over and over again until after reading it five times, put down the book, and pondered, Ni and Huahua had been arrested! It is impossible to get it back without strength, and now that my mother has someone to take care of, I am also relieved! It's time to drop everything and practice.

Sit cross-legged, slowly let go of all distractions, pranayama, body, heart, slowly into the quiet, there is no wind in the mountains in winter, it is very quiet, the mulberry forest gradually quiets, the mind begins to enter a hazy, the sound of the breeze in the mountains, the crackling and burning of firewood in the house, the crawling sound of insects crawling out of the snow to find food outside the house, this is not heard with the ears, but felt by the heart! It's amazing! Mulberry began to feel a little bit of light on the firewood, a little bit of light on the trees around the house flying around like fireflies, a little bit of silver light fluttering on the snowflakes on the ground, and a little bit of light dancing in the air.
