The sun rises and the moon sets, and another night envelops Kaifeng City, due to the siege of the Jin army, the situation is more critical, there are very few entertainment activities in the city, a little bit of restaurant tiles have vocal music to come out, most of the city residents are after dinner, go to bed early.

Granny Yao is a native of Kaifeng, and her son was conscripted into labor not long before she encountered a military rebellion, and she was not outside, and her daughter-in-law hanged herself if she couldn't think about it. There are only Granny Yao and two young granddaughters left in the family, and the three grandchildren rely on Granny Yao to help people wash and sew and make some threads to survive. It's just that I'm getting older, my eyesight is getting worse and worse, and I'm a little dazzled when I do that needlework under the oil lamp, and I can't see more and more clearly.

But the two granddaughters are only four or five years old, and they have to rely on themselves to live, and the old woman can't let it go, so she can only hold her breath and find a way to raise the two granddaughters to adulthood. The Jin soldiers went south, surrounded the Beijing Division, the city cut off the connection with the outside of the city, and the way to live became more and more difficult to find, the price of grain became higher and higher, although there was the granary of the government pressing, but the price of grain on the market still rose by seven or eight percent, and the price of coal in winter rose two or three times. For a family like Granny Yao, who has little money left in the family, life in the city is becoming more and more difficult, and she can only eat one gruel a day to cheat her stomach.

Finally, the imperial court won the second battle, and Granny Yao looked forward to driving the Jin people back to the Yellow River. Granny Yao was so anxious that she only had a hundred or so wen on her body, which was just enough for a few pairs of medicine, and there was no way to take her little granddaughter to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for her eldest granddaughter. Who knew that he actually met a young man, although he was wearing a hat, he could still see at a glance that the man was bald. I often heard from neighbors that some idlers shaved their hair and pretended to be monks to defraud believers of their property, and the only few dozen wen left on their bodies were the life-saving money of their eldest granddaughter, and they said that they could not give it away.

But what happened next was much to Granny Yao's surprise, the bald boy actually planted a pear pit in the soil in front of the slave and himself, and the pear pit grew into a pear tree in a moment. After the pear blossoms bloom, the trees bear not pears, but exquisite food boxes. The slave was overjoyed to take three, and the bald boy signaled himself to take it again, remembering the sick eldest granddaughter of the family, and the hungry stomach of the family, Granny Yao was also no longer reserved, and the grandfather and grandson took a total of eight food boxes back. Now there are two on the table, and the others are put in a bucket by Granny Yao and hung in her own well, the weather is getting colder, so that it can be saved for a while, the things are eaten, and this exquisite food box is still sold for a lot of money.

On the table is a dry-roasted Yellow River carp, a turtle steamed sheep, the family Yao Granny made some porridge, helped the eldest granddaughter up, and the three of them sat together to enjoy two unexpected delicacies. When the slave went home, she had already told her sister about the adventures in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the immortal uncle in her mouth was the incarnation of the Bodhisattva in the eyes of Granny Yao, who came to rescue her family from a crisis.

After thanking Uncle Immortal in his mouth, the slave couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks to the dry roasted Yellow River big carp, gently sandwiched a piece of fish meat, and took a bite, the burnt fish skin and the fresh and smooth fish meat were mixed with the secret roast sauce, and he felt so happy with his anger, and his small mouth was like a motor, moving non-stop, and he had the posture of eating up the big carp in one breath. Granny Yao is to the eldest granddaughter to sandwich some mutton and turtle meat mixed in the porridge, the eldest granddaughter is sick, the doctor said that the main thing is still hungry, the body is weak, this is easy to get sick, turtles and sheep are to make up for the body, let the eldest granddaughter eat more. The eldest granddaughter smiled at Granny Yao and said, "Eldest mother has worked hard, you can use some too." ”

Granny Yao was happy today, and said in her mouth, "Okay! Okay!" Before the words fell, she heard the little granddaughter slave next to her shout, "Big mother, big mother! Look at it! What is this?" Granny Yao turned her head to look over, only to see that the slave's chopsticks were only holding a small oil paper bag, which was an inch long, a finger thick, and a little heavy.

Granny Yao took the oil paper bag in surprise, and felt that it was a little hard inside, so she put it on the table and opened it, only to see a trace of gold emitted inside, and Granny Yao was stunned. It turned out that the oiled paper bag was wrapped in a gold nugget, which weighed two or two. The slave spoke on the side, "The slave found it when he ate the middle of the big fish, it's not powerful!" Hearing this, Granny Yao hurriedly rummaged through another food box, and sure enough, a few chopsticks went down and took out another oily paper bag, which was still two taels of gold. Granny Yao's tears came down from the corners of her eyes, "It's amazing, my slave is so powerful." Come, come and follow Grandma to kowtow to the Bodhisattva outside. The three of them hurriedly left their seats and came to the courtyard hand in hand, kowtowing in the direction of the Great Xiangguo Temple. With this gold, the future life of the three ancestors and grandchildren can be regarded as guaranteed, and this Kaifeng City is saved!

This happened tonight in every family that got the food box. The gold was put in by Lu Xihua, and every food box is there, no matter whether you are rich or poor, as long as you get the food box, it is fate, of course, the two grandmothers and grandchildren of Yao's mother-in-law are the ones who take the most, and the others are just one box for one family. Lu Xihua didn't know that he had added a lot of loyal believers to the Great Xiangguo Temple that night, was this right or wrong?

Lu Xihua is in the Great Xiangguo Temple at the moment, the night is dark, and there are no tourists in the temple. Most places are quiet, and only a few remote parts of the temple are still lit up. The side door of the Great Xiangguo Temple can't block Lu Xihua, it's all wooden, Lu Xihua quietly dropped the door and walked lightly in the corridor. When they arrived at the hidden courtyard during the day, sure enough, there were still monks and prostitutes drinking and having fun, and several of them rushed back to their rooms, and soon there were indescribable voices inside.

Lu Xihua shook his head, walked from the side, and came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. At this time, the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall has been closed, but it is not difficult for Lu Xihua, entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, looking up, I saw three Buddhas sitting in the center of the hall, with a solemn expression, and the magic trick in hand. Two lanterns were hung high beside the pillars in the temple.

Lu Xihua smiled at the big Buddha in the middle, "Buddha, Buddha, do you know that these Buddhists of yours do not cultivate the rules, do not abide by the precepts, wantonly collect money, deceive believers, and are lustful and greedy. A good temple is made by them, you don't care?"

The Buddha was solemn and didn't say a word, and Lu Xihua said, "Buddha, let's settle the score." Today I helped you get back a believer old woman, who spent more than 30 taels of gold, and helped your novice get back his cow mother, who spent 80 taels of silver, these things, you have to pay me back, right? I am also ready to help Zhao Laoguan defend this Kaifeng city, so as to avoid the disaster of war in your temple, you also have to pay me back, it just so happens that I lack a weapon, boy, I have to make up my mind on your head. Please forgive your sins!"

After speaking, Lu Xihua bowed to the Buddha in the center, turned his head and looked around the main hall.
