Chapter 56 Worrying about the country and the people
Ye Caitang only had two clothes that could see people, and he didn't want to wear them to go to the deep mountains and old forests to drill caves, and when he came back, he scraped them one by one, so when everyone was ready to set off the next day, they saw her change back into her previous clothes.
She used to be a person who cared a lot about her image, but now she can't help it, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, and not everyone who crosses can quickly get into trouble.
Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang on the horse, and his disgust was overflowing.
"You ......" Xia Yue pointed at her: "Why did you change into this dress again, are you planning to go to Nanshan to collect firewood?" ”
"Your Excellency." Ye Caitang said: "You won't be such a superficial adult who looks at people by dress, right?" ”
The words are blocked by you, what else can I say? Can I admit that I am superficial?
Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang calmly for a long time, and said slowly: "No, I'm not." ”
Ye Caitang was relieved.
"Come on." Xia Yue stretched out his hand to Ye Caitang.
Although Ye Caitang's back was still a little painful, she made up her mind at this time that she must learn to ride a horse as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be really inconvenient.
By this time, it was starting to get a little hot, but it was still cool in the mountains.
Nanshan was on the outskirts of the capital, and it was almost noon when he arrived.
Xia Yue and Xie Zhi have both been to Nanshan, but they have not seen any meditation nunnery here, Nanshan is very large, there are many temples, if a nunnery is hidden in the mountain, unless someone leads the way, it is indeed difficult to find.
"Ask a fellow." Xia Yue said: "It's just right, go to the villager's house for a meal." ”
At the foot of the mountain, there are more than a dozen families, cooking with smoke curling and cooking.
Wang Tong and Liu Sha asked several families, and sure enough, someone knew about Jingxin Nunnery.
"Mrs. Ruhui of the Meditation Nunnery is a kind monk." The peasant woman welcomed everyone into the courtyard: "Last year, my man went to the mountains to collect medicine, accidentally fell and injured his leg and couldn't move. Otherwise, you might be eaten by wild beasts. ”
Sounds like a helpful monk.
This is just right, everyone is trying to understand this Ruhui Shitai, and now the king gives money and eats a meal at the villager's house.
The peasant families in the mountains were not rich, and the money given by Wang Tong was enough for them to earn a year, and the peasant women were very happy and did their best to prepare a lot of food.
The vegetables grown in their own fields, radish balls, bacon, salted fish, treasured dried mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, although there are no big fish and meat, everyone is hungry, and they also eat deliciously. Ye Caitang even felt like he had before, looking at his clothes, he was very emotional.
After eating, the peasant woman gave directions in great detail, and also prepared a bag of dry goods, please bring them to Mrs. Ruhui along the way.
Wang Tong said: "It seems that this Ruhui Master is really a compassionate cultivator, and we are afraid that this trip will be in vain." ”
Ye Caitang did not agree with Wang Tong's words.
Many seemingly compassionate people will also do shady things. She has seen many murderers who recite Buddha, and they need the Bodhisattva's forgiveness more than ordinary people, and they are more afraid of going to hell after death.
But Ye Caitang just said: "How can you run in vain, I saw a pheasant just now." ”
Ye Caitang is such a good girl who tells the truth and does real things.
Jingxin Nunnery is indeed hidden in the depths of the mountain forest, although the road pointed by the peasant woman is the nearest road, but all the way over the mountains and mountains, when it is almost dark, finally in the col not far away, I see a shabby nunnery.
The nunnery was built on a slope in the middle of a mountain col, with a small courtyard and only four rooms in total.
In the sunset, you can see patches and patches of clothes hanging in the yard, drying vegetables and dried beans...... This is really a very poor place to practice, and this wise master looks like a master who is really a master outside the world.
Ye Caitang said: "The nunnery is full of female dependents, will it be bad for so many of you men to come over now?" ”
If it is an injured villager, the nunnery will definitely leave someone to recuperate. But there are so many people who can't stay if they want to, and it's too cruel to drive people out in the mountains in the middle of the night, which is embarrassing.
Besides, they still have things in their hands.
"Just find a place to spend the night nearby." Xia Yue waved his hand: "What do you think, are you going to barbecue meat in the courtyard of Jingxin Nunnery?" Do you think that monks really don't beat people? ”
Ye Caitang shrunk his neck, the Buddhists still have to fight to defeat the Buddha, if they are in a hurry, they will probably fight.
Fortunately, the weather was not cold and the wind was not strong at this time, so in order to prevent the smell of barbecue from wafting into the meditation nunnery and defiling the Buddha, they deliberately found a place downwind and leaned against the water source.
It was probably because of the great movement of the people, and the wild beasts avoided it first when they smelled it, and they didn't see any big guys along the way, but they only caught three pheasants, caught a hare, and the bread that the peasant women enthusiastically let them carry, which was enough.
The place was cleared, Wang Tong and Liu Sha carried pheasants and hares to the water's edge to clean up, and Ye Caitang and Xie Zhi picked up firewood around.
Xia Yue is an adult, no one dares to call, standing on the edge of the cliff comfortably, pretending to gaze around deeply.
Fortunately, the moon is bright tonight, and the mountains are not very dark, Ye Caitang has not picked up firewood in the past few years, and he is a journeyman, so he doesn't find it difficult.
Just picking it up and picking it up, I heard a snort.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhi hurriedly said, "Are you okay?" ”
Ye Caitang lifted the hem of his clothes depressedly and looked at it: "It's okay, it's hooking the branches." ”
So she was right to insist on wearing her own rags, which were coarse cloth and strong and toss-resistant. The two pieces that Xia Yue bought for her, I'm afraid they will all be broken if they can't get here.
Soon picked up a pile of firewood, and Wang Tong and Liu Sha also brought back the packed game.
A fire was lit and the fire quickly burned.
Ye Caitang sat by the fire, a little sad while putting firewood in it.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yue thought that she was sad because she had torn her clothes during the inspection, and comforted: "In my opinion, you should have thrown away this dress, go back and compensate you for one." ”
Ye Caitang sighed: "My lord, I want to say that I am sad for the hardships and hardships of the lives of the people all over the world, do you believe it?" ”
……
Ye Caitang is very sincere, but everyone really doesn't believe it.
But it doesn't matter, the only way to solve your worries is food.
Soon Ye Caitang gnawed on the chicken leg and came back to life.
At this time, Xia Yue, who had been standing on the edge of the cliff, suddenly said: "Come and see, there is a situation in the nunnery." ”
They chose this place very cleverly, and although they lit a fire, they could see from above, but they could not see from below. The people in the meditation nunnery would not have thought that someone would spend the night here, and they would not pay attention to it.
Ye Caitang and a few people hurriedly walked over, and saw the door of the nunnery room open, and a person with a torch walked out of it.
The man stood for a moment, out of the way.
Another person came out, and the man was still carrying a person on his back, after all, he couldn't see clearly from a distance, but the man didn't move, and seemed to be unconscious.
Wang Tong said: "I don't know if anyone is injured or sick, my lord, do you want to help?" ”
Xia Yue waved his hand, and before he could speak, he saw the person holding the torch in front of him pick up a shovel from the wall to dig the soil, and then walked out of the door of the nunnery together one after the other.
