Wang's little lady

Chapter 301: But your mind is not distracted?

Abbot Qing Yi stood behind the host and looked at everyone outside the gate, especially Hongdou who had just said something, with a look of compassion on his face.

He said gently to Hongdou: "Send all the mothers in, don't delay."

"Abbott, no, it's really inappropriate. I..."

The abbot wanted to stop the abbot's behavior, but since the abbot could come out in person, he had already made his decision. The abbot gave his attitude:

"What the female donor just said is right. If I, the Buddha, can save all living beings, how can I care for all living beings if I can't even accommodate a woman who has children."

"It's because we are narrow-minded." After saying this, Abbot Qing clasped his hands together and said Amitabha.

Hongdou didn't care what the monks discussed privately. Anyway, the other party told them to go in, and it seemed that the host respected the abbot.

Naturally, they must seize the opportunity to go inside, otherwise what should they do if they regret it later?

The women and family members who were accompanying them, led by Meng San and others, quickly ran towards the temple without daring to delay for a moment.

"Master Abbot, please help us make some room. These women have been in labor pains for a while and will give birth tonight."

"Our doctors and manpower are limited, so we have to arrange them in one place for easy care. I'm sorry to bother you all." After Hongdou came in, he spoke directly to the abbot.

Since there is someone more capable of taking charge, she naturally wants to discuss it with someone more capable of taking charge.

Abbot Qing did not shirk after hearing this, and immediately arranged for monks to clean up the hall.

Move other evacuees to other places.

The host was even more opposed after seeing this, saying how could it be possible to give birth in front of a Buddha statue. The bloody smell caused by childbirth is filthy and disrespectful to the Buddha.

However, Abbot Qing ignored it and directly arranged for monks to help accommodate the mother who was about to give birth. In addition, he also brought some family members to boil hot water near the kitchen.

I found some wooden boards so that the women could lie down, and worked with Hongdou and the others to separate each mother with thick cloth to avoid panic and mistakes during the process.

In fact, not only the abbot, but also many other monks in the temple were dissatisfied with the abbot's actions.

In a pure place of Buddhism, such practices are against one's identity.

However, Abbot Qing was the highest-ranking person in the temple, even surpassing the abbot at one time.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, the movements of their hands did not stop.

Everything was ready, and hot water was being brought in one after another. Because of the urgent situation, we could not find the stable woman, so the person who had given birth to the baby had to step in.

Including Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie were also helping everywhere. Danhong, Ah Mao, Juhua and others went to the kitchen to carry water and deliver things.

Dr. Sun is even busier, especially for premature mothers and reincarnated women, who have more or less abnormalities. Dr. Sun tries his best to use the existing medicinal materials to prescribe medicine.

Hongdou originally wanted to follow Granny Xie to help but was pushed out.

"What are you, a grown-up girl, doing looking at this? You really can't help but go help your husband take care of the children."

"Or you can help Dr. Sun prepare medicine to keep an eye on the fire. If Sanqi isn't around, Dr. Sun will definitely be too busy. Anyway, he's stuck here."

The Xie family has done enough, how can they let a big girl like their granddaughter help a woman give birth to a child?

Hongdou saw that Mrs. Xie really couldn't help, but she couldn't sit still, so she had to help Dr. Sun prepare the medicine.

Fortunately, Dr. Sun didn't dislike her.

Brother Tuan knew that he was young and could not do these things, so he followed Xie Yi and Mr. Xu sensibly with Xiaobao.

The other men will be fine now. Capt. Tan secretly told Abbot Qing that he wanted to take people to the back mountains to hunt some pheasants or something like that.

Come back later to make soup. Everyone can drink some warm soup to replenish their health. Qingyi paused after hearing this.

But when he heard the screams coming from the lobby and the hot water flowing in and out, Abbot Qing glanced at the Buddha statue in the middle of the lobby and finally nodded.

The host looked at the direction Tan Captou was leading the people and had a bad feeling in his heart, but he felt that he was overthinking it.

"Abbott, what is this messenger doing in the back mountain?" The host couldn't help but ask. But Qingyi knew that if he spoke out, the host would definitely stop him.

So he kept it secret for now: "Go and do what he should do."

After Qingyi finished speaking, he simply shut up to avoid making more mistakes and wait until someone actually brought the things back. There will inevitably be another debate.

Then he ordered the monks to temporarily build two simple stoves outside the kitchen, and took two separate pots to boil water.

Maybe it will be useful on its own later.

The host couldn't find anything out by asking, so he simply stopped asking. Out of sight, out of mind. Since he was from the Yamen, he might have led someone to check for unusual things around him.

In the lobby, under the Buddha statue, mothers were suffering from the pain of childbirth, wailing constantly. The monks in the temple had to chant sutras.

I am asking for Buddha’s blessing and forgiveness.

"Hold on, big sister, the baby's head is coming out, work harder." An older woman said to a woman who was about to give birth.

"Don't worry, you've already given birth to one, we must be fine. Breathe in, breathe."

"God, this is our family's only hope. Buddha bless you." An old lady knelt down and prayed to Buddha.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mr. Tan returned from hunting with his men, holding a few pheasants in his hands. The faces of those who accompanied him couldn’t help but be happy.

After giving birth, the people inside can drink some chicken soup to replenish their health.

It's just that they were happy, but the host's face looked a little bad. The speculation that flashed through his mind just now turned out to be true.

And the abbot also knows?

"Abbott, how can this be done? This is really, really disrespectful to the Buddha. We are vegetarians in the temple."

"As soon as the chicken soup is simmered, the smell dissipates. Isn't that breaking the precept? Absolutely not, absolutely not."

Abbot Qing Yi looked at the host and said gently: "That's not for us, it's for the mothers to replenish their bodies. Buddha will forgive us."

"But, abbot, we have broken the precepts. From now on we can still serve the Buddha with a face." The host looked anxious.

Other monks also came out to stop him at this time. It is against temple rules for a woman to give birth in a temple, and now she even has to cook meat here.

Abbot Qing could only try his best to appease everyone in the temple, "We are here to save people. The Buddha is watching us, how can he blame us?"

"It is precisely because we are messengers of the Buddha that we should act in accordance with the Buddha's purpose."

At this time, Hongdou, who was boiling the medicine, couldn't bear it any longer. At the critical moment of fasting and chanting Buddha's name all day long, he discovered that these monks had learned some pedantic ideas.

No wonder Master Qingyi can be an abbot, but these monks cannot be, their Taoism is shallow.

My Buddha's compassionate words are all reflected in their mouths.

"Masters, don't you just chant sutras all day long and never let your mind wander?" Hongdou came over and said something, and by the way, he rescued Abbot Qing.
