The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 26

It was still raining and muddy all the way.

Fortunately, both of them were wearing clogs, otherwise this muddy road would be really difficult.They went to dig potatoes in the vegetable field first, but because the potatoes were covered with mud, they had to wash them in the rain first.

Birming put the potato vines aside, "Come over here again when we get back, and take the vines back to feed the pigs."

Yingniang saw that these potatoes were quite big, and the thin skin on the top would fall off when she rubbed them lightly with her hands. They were very tender, "Birming, have you ever eaten potato pancakes?"

Birming shook his head, "Potatoes can also be made into pancakes?"

"Well, when we come back to collect the vine branches, we will dig some potatoes and go home. I will make potato pancakes for you to eat, that is, first steam them, grind them into mud, and then make them into cakes." Hungry.

Bo Ming thought it was delicious, "Why don't you make some for the master and brothers at noon?"

Ying Niang replied with a smile: "Okay, I don't know if my cooking is good or not, as long as they don't dislike it."

"How can they, they must like it."

The temple is located on the hill in the north. The hill is high and the road is very steep.Because of this, the villagers usually only go to the South Mountain to cut firewood, thinking that the North Mountain is too steep to carry firewood down the mountain.

Fortunately, there was no more thunder today, and the two of them grabbed the small thorns on the roadside, and it was not too difficult to get on.It was nearly noon when they climbed to the Foyun Temple on the top of the mountain.

Although the Foyun Temple is small, it is quite famous in this area, because there are more than a dozen towns in the surrounding area, and there is only such a temple.Usually, a few people come to offer incense every day to ask for a lottery, and some people will put some money in order to accumulate merit, but they are only a penny or a penny.Just like it rains today, there are three or five people coming.

Bo Ming led Yingniang to enter through the side gate. There were not many monks in this temple, and there were only twelve people including the master.The moment Birming stepped into the side gate, a group of monks surrounded him.

They just greeted Birming and didn't dare to talk to Yingniang.Even if they want to take a look at Yingniang, they just use their peripheral vision.

It was still Boming's elder brother who behaved generously. He clasped his hands together as soon as he came, "My benefactor, please come in and have a sip of tea. It's raining heavily today, so I'm afraid I have suffered a lot of cold."

Yingniang felt inexplicably wanting to laugh when she heard the words "female benefactor", but she still held back.She followed Birming in and drank a few sips of tea, then sat and stood aside, not daring to move around casually.Bo Ming talked about family affairs with the senior brother, and everything went well anyway.Eldest brother was vaguely envious when he heard it, maybe he also found it boring after staying in the temple for a long time.

Yingniang saw that there were ring scars on his head, and it seemed that he was destined to be a monk for the rest of his life.

After chatting with the senior brother for a while, Bo Ming took Yingniang to see his master.His master, named Kongxuan, was the abbot of the temple. He seemed to be extremely psychic, and he knew who it was when he heard Bo Ming's footsteps approaching his room.

"Birming is here." A vigorous and gloomy voice came from the room.

Ying Niang stood at the door and waited, while Bo Ming walked in lightly, knelt on a futon, put his hands together, and saluted his master, "Master, this disciple is not filial, so I only came to see you now."

Kong Xuan had kept his eyes closed just now, now he slowly opened them, looked at Bo Ming kindly, observed his face and complexion, nodded and said: "Well, it seems that you are full of energy and energy, just The qi and blood are a bit more prosperous. You have not been married for a month, and it is normal to have more qi and blood."

He stretched out his hand to pinch Birming's pulse again, and there was a little worry on his face again.

Bo Ming did not look directly at Kong Xuan because his eyes were slightly lowered, so he did not see his master's worried expression.Bo Ming said guiltily: "Master, this disciple has nothing to say, he broke the precept against meat and..." He couldn't say the words "precept against sex", his face turned red.

"You are no longer a disciple of Buddhism, you have to have ordinary desires, and you don't need to keep the precepts anymore. You have to do what you want to do. If ordinary people don't eat meat and suppress their emotions and desires, what does it have to do with Buddhist disciples? The difference. You can live your life with peace of mind, as long as you don’t do anything wrong and have a clear conscience. Seeing that you are living well, are in a happy mood, and don’t worry about anything, you will naturally be happy as a teacher.”

Bo Ming smiled slightly, and bowed again, "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."

Kong Xuan frowned slightly, "You brought the lady too?"

Bi Ming nodded shyly, and then called out to Ying Niang.Yingniang came in with her head down. To be honest, she was still a little nervous. Normally, Bo Ming praised his master so wonderfully that Yingniang was uneasy.His master wouldn't be able to see that she came here through time travel. Although the possibility of this is extremely small, she is still a little uneasy.The so-called wise men always have surprises.

Yingniang and Birming knelt side by side on the futon, lowering their eyebrows.

"May I ask if the benefactor can raise her head and let Lao Na have a look to see if the two of you are a good match." Kongxuan's voice was soft and kind, and Yingniang raised her head generously.

Kong Xuan said with a pleasant face, "Well, it's a good match. Boming is lucky to marry you, and he must be blessed in this life. Boming, when your teacher said that you could marry a beautiful and capable woman after you left the secular world, it seems that it was not a slap in the face. Lie. Your wife is a smart and pure woman, you should cherish it."

Boming looked at Yingniang and smiled, then respectfully said to his master: "I will keep it in mind."

In fact, Yingniang was a little embarrassed to hear Kong Xuan's evaluation of her, and felt that she deserved it.

Bo Ming said again: "Master, I dug a lot of new potatoes from home, I will make them for you, okay?"

Kong Xuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm lucky today as a teacher."

Bo Ming happily came to the kitchen with Ying Niang. Hearing the master's affirmation of Ying Niang, Bo Ming was very happy in his heart, and his gestures were filled with happiness.

Boming is very familiar with the stove house. The brothers all take turns to cook. He used to cook with a brother every three days.Today is the turn of the two young monks, only about ten years old.

Birming let the two of them play beside him, and he and Yingniang came to cook.

"Senior Brother Six, you seem to have grown stronger. You must have broken the meat precept and ate meat. Is the meat delicious?" A young monk asked after swallowing his saliva.

Bo Ming only ate it once, and after recollecting it, he said, "It's not bad, it's just that it tastes good because it's eaten less. If it's eaten too much, it should be the same as eating green vegetables."

Ying Niang laughed beside her and said, "Little Master, don't worry, this potato cake is as delicious as meat."

The little monk became interested, "Oh? The meat tastes like potato cakes? Then can you make more."

"Okay, make a pot!" Yingniang poured out a large pot of potatoes, and the two little masters also came to help rub off the potato skins.

At this moment, a new question popped up in the little monk's head, "Senior Brother Six, you married a lady, have you broken your sexual precepts, and you want to sleep in the same bed with your lady at night?"

Bo Ming froze, touched his bald head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Children are not allowed to ask these things, and as Buddhist disciples, don't ask about mundane matters."

The little monk stuck out his tongue, "What's so mysterious, isn't it just sharing the same bed? It's not interesting to spend a hundred years on the same boat, but it takes a thousand years to sleep together. I just want to see my biological parents one day. "

Bo Ming didn't say anything more, because this little junior brother was picked up by his master outside, and he was most likely abandoned by his parents on the side of the road, but he still yearned wholeheartedly to return to his parents.

For this lunch, Birming and Yingniang made enough portions, a pot of green vegetables, a pot of roasted potatoes, this is what Birming is best at, and potato pancakes made by Yingniang, three full pots are placed on the table, monks look rejoice.

It's just that when everyone is sitting at the dinner table, they eat very politely, no matter how much they like to eat, they dare not make mistakes. Buddhism pays attention to no desire and no thoughts, and eating is just for them. If they are greedy, it is a crime. A bogey.

Kong Xuan didn't sit at the same table with the disciples, he ate alone, and Bo Ming sent it over with a tray.

Kong Xuan ate very comfortably, but he didn't eat much, and he didn't make any comments on the taste of the food, neither greedy nor read.

After putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Kong Xuan said thoughtfully: "Bo Ming, you had a serious illness back then, and you have basically recovered in the past ten years. However, as a teacher, I hope you can come here every few months. Go to the temple and check your pulse for the sake of your teacher, so as to prevent the recurrence of old illnesses."

Bo Ming nodded and said: "Yes, master, as long as the disciple is free, he will definitely visit the master. It's just because I have done a part-time job recently, and I have to work at sunrise and return at sunset. Up the mountain."

"It's okay, as long as you remember to come, it's a merit for you to support yourself by working hard. It's just... soon, your Xue family may encounter some setbacks. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. When you encounter problems, you must be calm and calm. It’s good to see through everything.”

Bo Ming nodded deeply, "I must keep this in mind."

In the afternoon, Bo Ming talked about the old days with his brothers and sisters. Seeing that it was getting late, he went down the mountain with Ying Niang.

When she came to their vegetable field to dig potatoes, Yingniang suddenly raised her head and asked, "Bo Ming, you have stayed in your master's house for so long, what did your master tell you?"

Bo Ming paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a warning to me not to be arrogant or rash in everything in the future, and to be a good person."

"Oh. It's enough to dig these. Let's go home quickly. The sun has already set." The two put potatoes and vine branches into baskets and hurried home.

At this time, the rain has stopped, and the setting sun shines on the vegetable field, which looks very refreshing and green.

When they got home, Yang Sanniang was already busy making dinner, so Yingniang hurriedly washed some potatoes to make potato pancakes.

The whole family enjoyed the meal because there were potato pancakes.Even the pigs at home ate happily. Just now, Birming chopped up the potato vines and poured them all into the pig trough.

The new chicks who came on credit at home were also well fed, because Yingniang secretly sprinkled some sorghum rice for them to eat.
