There has been no rain for several years, and there is no rice in the mountain temple

"Master Xiao, just take this medicine once a day, and it will get better in about four or five days. Shanfa held a bowl of dark decoction, trembled and handed it to Xiao Shu, and almost spilled it.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shu took the decoction and put it aside, he noticed that Shanfa's movements were very unnatural, he couldn't stand steadily, he didn't dare to sit down, and there was a smell of medicine all over his body, which was obviously injured.

"Nothing. Shanfa smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said, "Drink this decoction while it is hot, if it is cold, the effect of the medicine will be poor, the first seat should come down, and the donor will go to Wuguantang with me to fast." ”

Xiao Shu saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask anymore, and pushed the little flower that was sleeping on the bed, "Wake up, eat, and if you sleep again, you won't be able to sleep again." ”

Dine?

Xiao Yuhua couldn't hear these two words even if he was asleep, his stomach was already vomiting, empty, he rubbed his eyes, and just wanted to speak when he was rushed to his nose by a strong smell of medicine, he didn't need to drink it, just smelling it and knowing how bitter it was.

Xiao Shuke didn't care about this, pointed to the bowl of blackened decoction and said, "Hurry up and drink it, I heard the words of the little master, the effect of the medicine is poor when it is cold, go and eat after drinking." ”

Xiao Yuhua squinted her eyes, frowned, picked up the bowl of decoction that she didn't know what it was, lowered her head and smelled it, almost turned her face bitter green, covered her nose and put the medicine back, and reluctantly said, "I'm not sick, my head is not dizzy, and my eyes are not dazzling, you can drink this medicine yourself." ”

"Little donor, you do have a cold, and your body is weak, you still drink this medicine, I specially put some sugar, it's not bitter, it just smells bad." Shanfa explained.

"Sugar?" Xiao Yuhua's eyes lit up, and she picked up the bowl of soup and medicine, stared at it suspiciously for a long time, or closed her eyes, pinched her nose and drank it, the sugar taste was not tasted, and the bitterness was not so obvious, but as soon as it entered the stomach, she felt warm all over.

"When are you going to eat?" Xiao Xiaohua felt even more hungry after drinking this medicine, her stomach was rumbling, and she immediately climbed out of bed and looked at the two of them expectantly.

"I haven't eaten for more than ten days, and I'm not in a hurry, but your stomach is screaming first, when is it, now. Xiao Shu stood up and nodded towards Shanfa.

It's okay to stay in the house, this out of the squatter room, the sun is scorching outside, there is no cloud, the cloud temple of the direct sun is like being roasted on the charcoal fire, the little flower is just said that the head is not dizzy and not flowery, only to be sunburned for a moment and it is a little unbearable, Wuguantang is not far from the squatter, but it also has to walk for a while.

"It's hot. Xiao Xiaohua shouted while supporting Xiao Shu, the dense sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing downward, and the sun shook so that his eyes couldn't open a little.

Xiao Shu reluctantly took off the red umbrella behind him and held it open, and the small shadow became the only pure land on this road.

Wuguan Hall is located on the left side of the main hall, the monks come and go frequently, on the one hand, it is necessary to wait for hundreds of mouths at the gate of the mountain to eat and drink, on the other hand, it is time to open the meal at noon, but these days the meal is getting less and less, the remaining rice and noodles in the temple are not much, not to mention that there are no pilgrims, even if you buy there is nowhere to go, several vegetable gardens in the back mountain have no harvest, it does not rain on this day, it is useless for you to ask, the spell is useless, several wells in the temple and the three waterholes on the Guanlan Mountain are also about to see the bottom.

The three of them walked into the Wuguan Hall, found a place to sit down, the hall said that it was not big, it was not small, it was enough to accommodate more than 100 people in the temple, but as soon as the hundreds of people sat down, although the room could not be sunny, it was not cool.

Shanfa just sat down, the whole back couldn't stop tingling, plus the stuffy room couldn't help but lose some appetite, looked around and said to Xiao Shu, "The little monk wants to get food for the master first, and then come to fast, the two of you can do it yourself, and the first seat of Xiaoyue should be almost there." ”

After saying that, Shanfa stood up, went to serve a bowl of rice porridge, said that it was porridge, and there was no difference between thin and soup, and took a few white steamed buns and some vegetables and left Wuguantang.

When I came to the meditation room, I didn't knock on the door, but I saw the abbot coming out of the meditation room with a frown, and Shanfa hurriedly put down the meal and saluted.

"Shanfa, you can eat after delivering the food, have a good rest, don't get tired. The abbot looked at the thin rice porridge and shook his head.

"There are two donors who come here to see the first seat of Xiaoyue, that Xiao Shizhu is a friend of the senior brother in the north and south, and the disciple brought them in on his own initiative, and asked the abbot not to blame. Seeing that the abbot was leaving, Shanfa hurriedly said.

The abbot's face sank, the Buddha beads in his hand clenched involuntarily, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where are they now?"

The disciple took them to the Wuguan Hall, where they were fasting. ”

The abbot didn't say a word after hearing this, and left in a hurry, Shanfa had known about the epidemic before, and knew what the abbot was worried about, at this moment, he could only pray, and don't do anything, otherwise let alone scold, even if he was beaten to death by the master, it would be difficult to eliminate the guilt in his heart.

Shanfa took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and sent the meal into the meditation room.

The precepts motioned for him to put the food on the table, stood up, glanced at Shanfa, and asked casually, "Sit down, how is the injury?" ”

"The disciple is fine, the master is in the way. "The good law is warm in my heart, although the master is strict and old-fashioned, but if you really want to talk about it, he is also the person who cares about the disciples the most, but this time he is really angry, the most obedient disciple on weekdays actually talks like this, but don't look at the scars behind the good law, in fact, the precepts are very serious, just some skin injuries, and it will be fine after two days of cultivation.

"If there is no way to do it, you can go down the mountain and find a place to live. The precepts glanced at the good law and said while drinking the thin rice porridge.

"When there is no cure?" Shanfa was shocked when he heard this.

"What if you can heal? The rice and noodles in the temple support half a month at most, good law, don't worry about other things as a teacher, but your temperament will inevitably suffer when you go down the mountain, you have to learn from the north and south, he is very weird. A subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If the disciple doesn't go down the mountain, the disciple will accompany the master on the mountain. Shanfa stubbornly shook his head, he grew up in the temple since he was a child, only knew how to eat fasting and chant Buddha, chant scriptures and practice martial arts, the red dust under the mountain did not care, the grievances of the rivers and lakes did not touch, and the idea of going down the mountain had never appeared in the mind of Shanfa.

"Haha, do you wait for death on the mountain with the teacher?" The precepts smiled, but he didn't bother to persuade him anymore, his apprentice was sometimes an elm head, and he couldn't get out of it anymore if he decided that he couldn't get out of it at all.

"The disciple believes that there is always an end to everything, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and suffering can always come willingly. "The good Dharma has always been very optimistic, and in his own words, although the rain is wide and does not moisten the grass without roots, if he even gives up, then the Buddha will not be able to get through it.

"Hungry, you eat these steamed buns, if you don't have enough, go to the fasting room, take care of your injuries, don't bother to be a teacher again." The precepts sighed, and when he had finished drinking the porridge, he stood up, sat cross-legged on the futon again, and said no more.

The monks in the fasting room can't eat enough these days, and the same is true for the good law, the food they get on weekdays is not enough to fill their stomachs, and only the elders of the precepts will give an extra one or two steamed buns, although the weather is hot and some have no appetite, but the empty stomach is also very uncomfortable, looking at the white flowery steamed buns can't help but swallow saliva, he looked at the precepts and slightly stiff body and said, "The disciple is not hungry, just go to the fasting room to serve a bowl of porridge." ”

After that, Shanfa took the porridge bowl and left the meditation room, and the steamed buns were still left on the plate.

In Wuguan Hall, Xiao Shu drank light rice porridge, and when he saw Xiao Yuhua gobbling up and his mouth was full, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry, and no one is robbing you." ”

Xiao Yanhua glanced at him and said, "You think I'm the same as you, I haven't eaten or drunk for more than ten days, and I haven't done anything at all, but I'm a normal person." ”

"Hero, you call this ungrateful, do you understand? You really don't want me to be hungry, and it's not all left to you. Xiao Shu grabbed the steamed bun in front of Xiao Zhaohua unceremoniously.

"Give me back, don't you have it?" Xiao Yuhua glared at Xiao Shu, and reached out to grab it.

"One is enough, I haven't eaten or drunk for ten days, and if I have to eat, I don't need to eat more, otherwise it would be abnormal in someone's eyes. Xiao Shu stood up, holding two steamed buns in one hand, and pressing Xiao Zhaohua's head with the other, no matter how he jumped, he couldn't reach it.

"It's not that you have to come to this ghost place, I came with you, besides, you already knew that you didn't have enough to eat, why did you buy more in the first place?" Xiao Yuhua shook off Xiao Shu's hand angrily and sat down angrily.

"Isn't it just two steamed buns, it's all for you, the hero has to save Li Min when he is full, you don't need to say much, I understand. Xiao Shu smiled and threw the steamed bun to Xiao Yuhua.

"Count your acquaintances!" Xiao Yuhua didn't bother to care about Xiao Shu's ridicule, now it is important to fill your stomach, everything else can be put aside first, and it is not too late to settle accounts after autumn.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. Xiao Shu asked casually.

Xiao Hua was stunned for a while, he really never told Xiao Shu his name, Xiao Shu has always jokingly called him a hero, but the name of this thing, he himself is about to forget, no one has ever called his name, he is always called Huazi, stinky beggar, fool, wild dog and so on.

Suddenly, Playful stuck out his tongue at Xiao Shu and said with a smile: "It turns out that name, I can't remember it clearly...... Why don't you choose a new name, what do you think it's a good name?"

"Do you still need to think about it, just call it a hero, anyway, you are determined to be a hero. Xiao Shu said disapprehantly, he didn't believe that people could forget his name, and he was obviously reluctant to say it.

"This name is too stupid, how can anyone call it this kind of name, do you have a brain for Xiao to ask for food?" Xiao Hua retorted angrily.

"I think it's called a hero, how majestic it sounds, and it directly indicates its identity, the thief is frightened when he hears it, and he retreats, killing two birds with one stone, how good. Xiao Shu spread his hands and said.
