Chapter 123: The Original Residence
Fools can hear it, I, a person with a bad brain, can hear it, uh, I don't mean I'm stupid, it seems that the old monk doesn't let the stupid little monk speak, it involves privacy. I can't be fooled with this kind of talk, and the roads are muddy and the ground is slippery, why didn't I see it!
As I walked, I was a little thirsty, so I put down my bag, took out the drink and drank it with a bang.
Then there was no word all the way, no one spoke, and the two of them just walked quietly with us. Although it is a small dirt road, it is quite hard to step on, or it is very comfortable.
"Dare to ask the abbot, how far is it?" Sister Linyin broke the silent atmosphere and asked the old monk.
"After crossing the river in front of you, walk a little further and turn right, that's where the old man lives." The old monk said.
River, I pad my feet and stretch my neck, where is it? Why didn't I get so far, I really want to see if the river is big, and if there are any fish?
Yun Ci also opened the conversation, looking quite excited: "Then is the place where you live a temple?" ”
"What kind of temple is there?" It was the little monk who answered Yun Ci's question, and he smiled stupidly, "Our senior brothers live in a few small earthen houses. ”
"Your senior brothers?" Or what Yun Ci said, "How many of you senior brothers are there?" ”
"Our senior brothers? Counting me, there are twelve of them, plus I only have seven brothers and sisters living here, and the other five have gone out to practice. The little monk replied.
As we spoke, we drove to the fabled river, but, however, ...... Isn't this a gutter! The visual width is about one meter, and the flow rate is still quite a lot, but no matter how old you look, it is a small ditch.
It's fun to have a little ditch like this, so I took it in stride and squatted down, hoping to see if there were any fish or shrimp or anything like that, but I was a little disappointed that no, the water was clear and there was nothing.
"Did you get the water from here?" I asked.
After listening to this, the little monk laughed: "It's true that we are monks, but we are also modern people, we have a pressurized water well where we live, and this water must not be edible, but you can also wash clothes and vegetables from here, which is more convenient." ”
My head was sweating, tsk, what did I think about, I was thinking a little too much.
After crossing the river, no, after crossing the ditch, it is a right turn uphill road, this is a very gentle hill, I looked up, at a glance I saw several houses in the middle of the hill, it was a very large open space, but this angle is not particularly clear.
"Abbot, is that where you live?" Yun Ci asked.
"Donor, exactly."
The house is very old, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thatched house.
We followed the abbot slowly to a large clearing, this clearing is bigger than I imagined, this is a clearing around the hill, that is, there is still on the other side of the mountain, but you can clearly see the traces of artificial construction, surrounded by a circle of bamboo poles, probably to prevent wild animals from coming in to eat, because I saw the vegetables planted, it should be spinach, the planting area is not small, there are three houses on the way up the mountain, one large and two small, one of them is smoking, cough cough don't think crooked, it is cooking smoke, it's supposed to be cooking, and the chimney on it I've only seen in books.
There were also a few people busy in the vegetable field, all young, probably the same age as me, that is, they were all wearing monk's clothes.
When the old monk went in, those people hurriedly came over and saw us, naturally you looked at me, I looked at you, and my face was full of confusion.
"Master, are you back?" One of them had more eyesight and took over the burden from the old monk's hand.
"Well, are you little junior brother back?" The old monk handed him the baggage.
"Not yet, didn't you tell him to find some mushrooms? I haven't been back yet. ”
Mushroom? Looking for mushrooms in the winter? Are there mushrooms on this day? I'm skeptical, huh?
"Well, let him continue to look for him when he comes back later, don't use it to see me, don't let him eat, let him come back in the evening." The old monk said.
I suddenly felt a chill, and it was really a "blessing for three lives" to have such a master on the stall.
The old monk turned around and gestured to us, "A few of you here, please, and then said to his apprentices, "Why should you go, let someone bring some tea to my room." ”
"Okay, master." A few people dispersed.
The old monk took us to the side of the hill, here are a few rooms, and there is wheat here, we followed him into a room, the outside looks tattered, the inside is very good, of course, it is limited to relatively, the inside is very clean, the first time I entered the room, I saw the Buddha statue, not big, very solemn, below is a few futons for meditation, the wear is a little serious.
Even if there is no decoration in the room at all, it is very bright, simple and clean, the old monk continued to take us into the side room, which is a table, with pen and ink on it, yes, you heard it right, it is pen and ink, not a ballpoint pen, not a pen, paper is also rice paper, the whole I feel as if I have crossed over, this kind of modern society has such a scene makes me feel very strange.
"A few of you, please sit down, the grass hut is ugly, the hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me," the old monk asked us to sit around the table, "take a short rest, the meal is almost ready, if you don't dislike it, you can eat something." ”
"Where, abbot, it's us who disturbed your purity" Oh, when did Yun Ci become so literate Zou Zou, "Also, we've eaten, we're not too hungry, so it's not troublesome, we'll walk around later, satisfy our curiosity, and leave, don't bother." ”
"Why bother, although the food here is not as good as the worldly big fish and meat, but it still has a unique flavor, eat some more, and let the old man show some landlord friendship." The old monk continued to persevere.
"Okay, okay, don't fight," I interjected, "just eat some, anyway, I've been exercising for so long after eating, I'll still be hungry if I have to walk later." ”
Linyin also said: "Okay, abbot, thank you, then we are welcome." ”
As he spoke, he heard someone knocking on the door, probably because his apprentice brought tea, which was quite polite.
"Come in." The old monk also sat down and sat next to me.
The sound of pushing the door sounded, and it was the little monk who had just taken the burden came in, coming in with four cups and a very large teapot, and bent down when he entered the door: "Master." ”
The old monk nodded slightly, did not speak, the little monk gently put the tray on the table, put the cups for us one by one, and then took the teapot and poured water for us again, and a faint incense rushed into my nose.
Put down the teapot and gently retreat.
"Thank you, thank you." Yun Ci has become a polite little girl at this time, it turns out that I really saw the wrong person, this Oscar for Best Acting Acting should be awarded to Yun Ci, where did her bullying energy go to my family.
"Here are some of the tea leaves that Lao Wei treasured, please taste them."
Cut, I haven't seen any tea, I'd like to taste it, picked up the cup, I blew on the hot air, and then tasted it gently.
I'm a person, it's a little ugly, it's a rich second generation who likes to pretend to be forced, I don't understand the tea, but I can still tell the difference between good and bad, and I can still tell the price range! This tea, if it's less than 2,000 pounds, I'll eat!
Linyin Beauty and Yun Ci also tasted it, Yun Ci did not have any change in expression, but the expression on Linyin's face changed.
Yun Ci said, "Abbot, this tea is very fragrant." ”
"Xiao Shi is mainly if he likes it, and when he leaves, he can bring some to the donor." The old monk said with a smile. Hehe, this old monk is quite rich, and he will give away things at this price, in fact, he wants to come too, and he has bought thirty or forty square kilometers, and this money is drizzling.
"This tea is not cheap, right?" I didn't say this, it was said by our beautiful Linyin.
"I don't know, the old man gave it to me by the person who asked me to stay in this place, but I really don't know the specific price." The old monk smiled and said, saying that he really didn't know, but I think ah, this is this old monk's deep pretense, they love to play this set, understand and understand.
The beautiful woman Linyin smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to taste the tea.
Yun Ci said, "Then what are you busy with all day? What else is there to do with work and cooking? ”
"Actually, there are a lot of things, chanting scriptures, preaching, going out to pick up something to eat." The old monk said.
"Then your life is really comfortable, away from the noise of the world, and enjoy the world's seclusion." Yun Ci looked envious.
"Hahaha," the old monk laughed heartily, "yes, no, how can living in modern society be truly otherworldly, how can it be truly away from the noise of the world, if it can, why should I let my apprentices go outside to experience it, besides, even if you can be like the donor said, you can stay away from the world and cultivate with peace of mind, but I think that such a cultivation seems to be indestructible, but in fact, it can't withstand the temptation." The old monk smiled and said his truth, but why did he tell us so much? I'd like to try it.
The old monk continued: "The old monk dares to ask if it were you, how long would you be able to endure the loneliness without the internet and electricity supply. ”
"You don't have electricity here?" I was amazed, "I can't really stay a day without my phone and lights." ”
Yun Ci hesitated for a moment: "That, abbot, you don't have electricity supply here?" ”
The old monk nodded: "Without electricity, there is no series of modern equipment, how long do you think you can stay?" ”
Linyin big beauty shook her head: "It's really unimaginable, it's okay to talk about it, if you really want to do it, I dare to say that I won't be more than three days." ”
I dare say I'm not more than a day, oops, why do you say so much, eat that? Rice that? I don't want to say I'm not hungry, but I'm really hungry.
