Wang's little lady

Chapter 302 Making money from refugees

"It's not that you don't know how many things have happened since midnight today until it turns dark again."

"Can we really win the favor of the Buddha by just observing formal rules in critical moments?"

"Although I am a woman, I have also heard a saying that meat and wine pass through the intestines and stay in the heart of the Buddha. What's more, we are doing this for the sake of the mother's physical strength."

"It's to save lives, not to mention I'm not forcing you to eat it. If you can break the precept just by smelling it, it means you have only scratched the surface of Buddhism."

"At this rate, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the height of Qingyi Zhang in this lifetime."

The host and others were stunned by Hongdou's words. They opened their eyes and opened and closed their mouths silently. They didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although the other party's words are unpleasant, when you think about it carefully, they are not completely unreasonable. Therefore, the host did not think of how to refute.

Of course, Abbot Qing did not give the host and others a chance to refute, and continued:

"The living person is in the world, but the Buddha is in the heart."

"This matter has been decided, poor monk. Today, the lives of the mother and child are the most important thing. All other rules can be thrown away."

"If any consequences arise from this, the poor monk will bear the responsibility alone."

Abbot Qing Yi's tone was a little tough, and the host who was familiar with him knew that there was no room for negotiation on the matter, so he simply put aside his choice and returned to the room to chant sutras.

calmly!

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to challenge Abbot Qing, so they had no choice but to follow his instructions and make soup for Tan Captou and the others to make room.

No wonder the abbot asked them to set up two more simple stoves just now. They thought there was not enough hot water, so they were waiting here.

"Master Abbot, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I really am..."

Although Hongdou had been tough just now, they were in someone else's territory now. It would have been rude to make the decision without permission, and she was the one who lost her temper.

If they could find other locations nearby, they wouldn't just focus on temples.

Abbot Qing Yi had a gentle expression on his face. He didn't take Hong Dou's words to heart at all, and he even took it seriously.

"The little benefactor is actually right. If we really break the precepts because we smell the smell of meat, then it is indeed because the poor monks have not cultivated enough."

"Buddha loves everyone, regardless of gender, age or child, and treats them equally."

After the abbot finished speaking, he looked at Hongdou's face carefully, with a somewhat enlightened look on his face: "I think the girl and I are destined to be Buddhas."

"After this matter subsides, the girl is free on weekdays and can come to our temple to play at any time. The poor monk will definitely sweep the couch to welcome her."

Seeing the abbot's sincere tone, Hongdou felt a little embarrassed. How could she be related to the Buddha?

She is an ordinary person. She cannot abide by the Buddhist rules and regulations, nor does she want to abide by them.

As for playing?

Let’s wait until the family is settled later.

Half of the house and village in her town were destroyed by the earthquake, and she couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of the money lost.

This is something she earned with great difficulty after coming to this world. Just because of an earthquake, her family suddenly returned to before liberation.

"Thank you, abbot. After the town and home are calm, I will definitely visit you again to express my gratitude. I will also report the good deeds of your temple to the Yamen."

Abbot Qing Yi smiled kindly and said nothing more. Instead, he ordered the kitchen to cooperate with others to pack up the pheasant and cook it as soon as possible.

At this time, a loud cry suddenly sounded in the hall, followed by everyone's surprised voices: "It's born, it's born, it's a baby."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Finally, my family has no children. My son, you have a baby. Your wife has given birth to a son for you. You can rest in peace underground."

The old woman hugged the child and shouted directly to the enemy, her voice filled with joy, relief, and relaxation. Then she kowtowed to the Buddha statue:

"Thank you, Buddha, for your blessing. From now on, believers will bring their children here to offer incense on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month to thank Buddha for his kindness." Maybe it was the birth of a new life, or maybe she was infected by the joyful atmosphere in the hall.

The people who were hiding from the disaster outside and the monks who were a little unhappy just now couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Even the host, who was hiding in the room and chanting sutras, couldn't help but open his smiling eyes at this moment.

I don’t know if this one was a good start, but one after another children were born smoothly. Until midnight, one hundred and eight children were born in the temple.

It exactly corresponds to the One Hundred and Eight Arhats.

Qingyi broke the three precepts of blood, light, killing, and eating meat in the temple, and he was not uneasy at all, but after hearing that all the children were born safely.

After all, there is no regret.

Hongdou and others distributed the cooked chicken soup to each mother one by one so that they could replenish their bodies. At the same time, he discussed with Abbot Qing again.

Before the Yamen took over, these mothers were allowed to recuperate here. After all, the weather was cold and the children were too young to be exposed to the wind.

Abbot Qing agreed, and this time, the abbot and the monks did not refuse.

After solving this matter, Hongdou finally felt relieved, left some food and quilts, and took the people back to their original place.

The temple was indeed not large enough to accommodate more people. Since the Xie family had no one to give birth, they went back first to save some space for others.

"Sister, look, there are stars in the sky." On the way back, Brother Tuan suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.

"It's true, maybe the weather will be nice tomorrow." Granny Xie followed.

Although it was freezing cold in the middle of the night, Hongdou and the others felt particularly in good spirits, and even their steps on the return trip were much brisker.

"After tomorrow, there should be good news from the Yamen, and we will be able to return to our previous days soon." Hongdou said hopefully.

The speed at which the Yamen acted gave the people around them great confidence in the court.

It's just that at this time, everyone still doesn't know that sometimes, everything doesn't always go as planned.

At this time in Fengdu County, Jiang Huaizhi was frowning and looking at the letters brought back by his subordinates from around him.

"Damn it. We are all citizens and officials of Daqing. When Fengdu County was hit by the disaster, we should have worked together to overcome the difficulties."

"But these people actually raise prices and make money from refugees. It's really disgusting."

The more Jiang Huaizhi thought about it, the angrier he became. After saying this, he slapped the makeshift desk. Seeing this, the master on the side quickly comforted him:

"Sir, please don't make it too obvious. There are people around you. If you are noticed, my subordinates are worried about causing a disturbance."

Although Jiang Huaizhi was angry, he still listened to what others said, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

After all, he was too young and took things for granted. He just thought that it would be no problem for him to bring the money to buy the supplies he needed.

Who would have thought that those merchants would take the opportunity to increase prices, even by a lot.

Someone was sent to the Yamen for help, but the Yamen people actually replied that they could not interfere in business matters based on their status.

It's obviously an excuse from the Yamen.

But so what if you know, after today, if the Yamen does not have enough rescue items. Once the common people get into trouble, it will be really difficult to deal with it.

That's all, it's nothing more than losing some more money, and getting everyone to settle down as soon as possible is the big deal.

"Master, take the money and go there in person and bring the things back. As for the manpower, they can come if they are willing. If they don't want to, forget it."

Just need to survive these two days and wait until the court sends someone.
