Chapter 103: Man or Turtle (6) - Hope

Jia Huan smiled freely and said softly: "It's better to be a hungry ghost than a hungry ghost." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Tanzhe Temple has 500 stones of grain in stock. It is enough for the temple to be eaten by about forty monks for a year. Wendao Academy agreed to borrow only half of it, 250 stone of grain. The villagers are in good order.

At this time, how could the monks of Tanzhe Temple kill innocents indiscriminately?

Zhiwu was just angry in his heart, and he was going to scare Jia Huan, but when he saw that the threat was invalid, his face suddenly darkened. At first, he actually wanted to lend food to Wendao Academy. After all, Tanzhe Temple has dealings. His senior brother Zhichen and the mountain chief Zhang Anbo have a good personal relationship, and they have a good relationship with chess friends on poetry occasions. It's just that Senior Brother Zhichen refused.

And today, when he saw Jia Huan waiting for people to go up the mountain to grab food, the anger in his heart suddenly exploded. Whether to give or not is a matter of friendship. However, you bring someone up to rob it, what does this mean?

Jia Huan saw that Monk Zhiwu had a dark face, and was in a good mood, and joked: "In the first good place of Buddhism, the master opens his mouth and closes his mouth to say that he kills, and doesn't he pay attention to the image of a high monk in front of the villagers?" ”

Monk Zhiwu's face was a little darker.

Zhichen relieved the siege for his junior brother, diverted the topic, and clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha!" Jia Yuanshou is young and penetrating, which is really extraordinary. Zhang Boyu accepted a good disciple. ”

Jia Huan smiled and glanced at the round-faced old monk Zhichen, and went to fill a bowl of porridge again to drink.

Master Zhichen continued the topic and said, "The head of the Jia Academy said that there are 783 of you. I thought you had scooped the miners in the coal kilns of Xishan among the hungry people. The miners were outcasts, many of whom were outlaws.

I just ordered someone to count it, and there are only 500 of you in total. Thankfully. More than 30 years ago, the Yongding River also burst its embankment. There was a temple in Myofeng Mountain that took in a group of miners, and in the end all the monks of the temple were killed. Like hell on earth. ”

Jia Huan pondered for a few seconds and said, "Master Xie reminds!" ”

Master Zhichen sighed and said, "I can't do it without reminding you. This time, the Yongding River burst its embankment, and to this day, the villagers are estimated to be dead. Next, if there are victims, it must be hordes of miners.

Therefore, I do not agree with Zhang Boyu taking in the victims. No amount of food can afford to stop the miners. And with your Wendao Academy as a stronghold, they have the ability to go up the mountain to Tanzhe Temple. Our two families are now close to each other. ”

Jia Huan nodded slightly. Whether or not to save the villagers affected by the disaster depends on the individual's choice. To save or not to save, there is nothing to blame. The responsibility for disaster relief lies with the government.

He understood why Qin Hongtu couldn't borrow food with the letter from the mountain chief. Master Zhichen is worthy of being the host of the temple, with a thick face and a black heart. If this point of Wendao Academy is destroyed, Tanzhe Temple will be in absolute safety. However, Master Zhichen probably didn't expect that he would be able to organize the victims of the disaster and pounce on the mountain.

When Master Zhichen looked at Jia Huan's expression, he knew that Jia Huan understood his thoughts, and proclaimed the Buddha's horn, "Amitabha!" "Looking at the heavy rain in the compound.

Monk Zhiwu's face had eased a little at this time, and he said, "Head Jia, when do you plan to return the food from our temple?" ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "If the master can trust the character of our mountain chief, he doesn't have to worry about a few hundred stones of grain. I can't believe it, no matter how much I promise, it's useless. ”

Monk Zhiwu held a breath in his throat, half a sound, and said, "Do you mountain chiefs know about you coming to grab grain?" ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly and said, "It depends on the result." As he spoke, he said to Master Zhichen: "Senior Brother Ling has an upright temperament, and I am afraid that he is not suitable to take over the position of abbot." ”

Monk Zhiwu's face suddenly darkened again. He was fifty or sixty years old, and teasing and suppressing a nine-year-old child really made him a little depressed, and he was only one step away from becoming angry.

Jia Huan laughed, his mood flying.

Night shrouded Wendao Academy. Qin Hongtu has already brought back the news: Tanzhe Temple borrowed 100 stones. This news made the villagers and scholars who stayed in Wendao Academy rejoice.

In the side hall of the west wing of Minglun Hall in the center of the academy, the mountain chief Zhang Anbo and six lecturers lit a candle and gathered together to laugh and talk about borrowing food today.

Mountain Chief Zhang Anbo said with a smile: "With food, the situation in the academy will be stable. I really didn't expect Jia Huan to have such determination at a young age. He didn't tell me in advance, probably because he was worried that I would stop him, right? But how can the old man be a person who eats the ancients! ”

Fan Wenzheng said: How can a family cry all the way! Naturally, the six or seven hundred people of Wendao Academy could not sit still and starve to death. There is a way out. He was in favor of borrowing grain from Tanzhe Temple by forceful means. Of course, he did not approve of killing. If a person dies, there is nothing, but the grain is borrowed and repaid.

Ye Jiaolang smiled mildly and said: "If you don't put on a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, the old Zhichen of Tanzhe Temple will not be willing to let go." The old monk was very slippery. Of course, after this flood, we have to thank the masters of Tanzhe Temple. ”

He added: "It's a pity that most of my bottle of good goose top red was fed to the dogs." ”

All the speakers laughed.

Someone stroked his palm and said, "You have also done a good deed, lest that beast enter the mouth of the wine and meat monk." "The speakers still have resentment in their hearts about Tanzhe Temple's refusal to borrow grain at the beginning.

Obviously there is a reserve of food, why don't you want to give a thing or two? Jia Huan had to force people to come to the door and put on a posture of not hesitating to fight, so he was willing to take out food. Wendao Academy can't afford to pay back two or three hundred silver for food?

Luo Jiaolang, who followed Shizi up the mountain and witnessed all the passing by today, leaned back on the chair tiredly and smiled with a short beard. The feeling in my heart is: happy, refreshing, and worthwhile.

In fact, today's situation is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Fortunately, Jia Huan succeeded! Otherwise, bloodshed will be inevitable. At that time, it will be impossible to determine whether it is right or wrong. It's just about survival.

Now, naturally, they heard that the Taoist Academy had a reason: the two families have an old one, and you have surplus grain in Tanzhe Temple, why don't you lend it? Moreover, the academy is a salute before a soldier. The mountain chief's handwritten letter was not able to borrow grain first, and the next day the "army pressed the border".

In the hall of Myeongron Hall, the lights are bright. The damp rain seems to be kept out.

Luo Xiangyang, who stayed in charge, raised the earthen bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, congratulations for Jia Yuan!" "They're late to dinner, it's almost late.

Everyone raised the porridge bowl one after another, and the mood was flying, "Congratulations for Jia Yuan!" ”

The College has finally overcome the difficulties!

The crowd was enthusiastic about today's "borrowing grain". The most exciting thing is, of course, with less than 500 people, making a noise of more than 500 people. Senior Brother Gongsun, they plan and operate well.

At this time, Gongsun Liang and others were tired after a day's work, ate early, took a bath, and went back to the dormitory to rest. Minglun Hall was on duty by Luo Xiangyang, Qiao Rusong and others.

Qiao Rusong sat behind the desk and said with a generous smile: "Junzi Luo, when the academy is stable, you can also take time to pay attention to the situation at home." ”

Jia Huan's trust in Luo Junzi is more than him. Therefore, the person in charge of staying behind is designated as Luo Junzi. But he was not resentful. Working together to tide over the difficulties is the top priority.

Luo Xiangyang was originally slightly chubby, and Jia Huan sometimes jokingly called him a chubby brother, but at this time his belly had completely lost weight. Drinking porridge, he said with a smile: "

Brother Qiao didn't know. Here in the western suburbs of the capital, the Yongding River twists and turns. But it is impossible to say that the river can flood the entire western suburbs. My hometown has long been flooded by heavy rains, and my family has already moved to a village far away from the river. Life is harder, but it's not like our academy, which is isolated from the town. There is no food. ”

Qiao Rusong smiled and said slightly excitedly: "In this way, as long as we can send the news out, there is hope to get the government's rescue." Now we have enough food. Personnel should be sent to explore the surrounding area. You don't have to go to the capital, you can go to a village or town. ”

Luo Xiangyang thought about it and said excitedly: "This is a feasible way." We wrote to Brother Jia to discuss. ”

The next morning, the smell of porridge seemed to waft through the air.

In the academy, in the No. 12 dormitory of the inner house, Wei Yang came down from the team carrying grain from the mountain chief, ate and returned to the dormitory.

There was a faint fragrance of women wafting in the dormitory. Although Wendao Academy is isolated from the town, there is no shortage of firewood and hot water is provided. The two beauties in the dormitory were clean. One of them was still wearing a veil.

Four people in the same dormitory. Jia Huan has not been back since presiding over the disaster relief. The bed was taken up by the two beauties.

Lin Xinyuan, who was talking to the two beautiful girls, turned around and arched his hand, "Brother Wei is back." I heard that the academy already has food..."

Wei Yang yawned and waved his hand, he was almost exhausted, and it was rare to talk to Lin Xinyuan, "Brother Lin is better to go out and do things to earn rations." What is the reason for guarding my sister and concubine every day? What is the use of a bowl of porridge a day? According to the rules established by Brother Jia, the academy is safe. ”

After Wei Yang finished speaking, he didn't care what Lin Xinyuan's reaction was, and fell asleep. In extraordinary times, he can't pay attention to cleanliness. (To be continued.) )
