Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 89 October, Qingyun Temple
On October [-]th, the herbal hall in Heishan Town.

Today was the day when Zhou Mingfeng and his son went to Qingyun Temple. Xu's illness became more and more serious, and there was a faint tendency to worsen.

Although Mrs. Xu tried her best to conceal her illness when Zhou Mingfeng left home, and pretended to be indifferent in front of him, but who is Zhou Mingfeng? Renesa didn't notice anything wrong before, but he reacted after going out.

Besides, the weather will be cold in a while, and Xu's illness will become more serious by then. In order to make his wife feel better, Zhou Mingfeng has to ask Master Ming'an of Qingyun Temple to help him this time, even in his heart. I made up my mind to do whatever it takes!
Before Zhou Mingfeng went out, he finally took the Buddhist beads he had brought from his father with him. If...he couldn't impress Master Mingchen with his words, then he could only take out his father's token, Zhou Mingfeng Looking down at the Buddhist bead in his hand, his eyes dimmed, and finally he clenched the Buddhist bead in his hands tightly. No matter how Master Ming'an thought about him, whether he wanted to repay Xu's illness, he would do anything for Xu's illness.

This string of Buddha beads is a token left by Master Ming'an to Old Master Zhou when he visited Qingyang County. If it does not violate the Dharma, he will not refuse.

This time when Zhou Mingfeng returned to Qingyang County, the conflict with his father was not only resolved, but the old man Zhou also specially gave him this string of Buddhist beads because he heard that he was going to Qingyun Temple to seek medicine, just in case Well, Mrs. Zhou also felt guilty about Xu's incident.

Zhou Mingfeng was filled with emotions for a moment, pushed open the closed door, looked up at the cloudless sky above his head, sighed, and stopped thinking about it.

Zhou Huaiyan had already packed up and waited in the backyard, Zhou Wei was among them. After Zhou Mingfeng came out, he first bowed to Zhou Wei and raised his hand, "Uncle Zhou, my nephew is going to Qingyun Temple with Yan'er. These days, my nephew Willful, I hope Uncle Zhou will include it."

"Oh, have you figured it out?" Zhou Wei shook his head and sighed, "It's a long way to go to Qingyun Temple. If you walk with Yan'er, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." Zhou Wei still disagrees that Zhou Mingfeng wants to go to Qingyun Temple on foot. Not to mention that Zhou Mingfeng is a grown man with good physical strength, but Zhou Huaiyan is a child who has not usually walked through like this. If there is any accident, what will happen? Zhou Wei is very worried about this.

"Uncle Zhou, it's a long story. My nephew went to Qingyun Temple to ask Master Ming'an for something. Although it was convenient to drive there, he was not sincere. That's why my nephew decided to go on foot. My nephew has made up his mind on this matter. Don't worry, Uncle Zhou," Zhou Mingfeng said in a low voice.

"Grandpa Zhou, Yan'er is fine, and besides, his mother's illness is also very worrying. It is also Yan'er's wish to go to Qingyun Temple this time." Zhou Huaiyan could tell that Zhou Wei was worried about himself, but his mother's illness was the root of his illness. It was because of him that he was so serious, so it was his duty to go.

"You..." Zhou Wei looked at the father and son beside him disapprovingly, but the two of them had already made up their minds, and the gesture of begging was even bigger, Zhou Wei had to lose in the end, turned around and was not there Look.

Zhou Mingfeng glanced at Zhou Wei's gesture of waving his hand, paused, and didn't say anything. He took Zhou Huaiyan and the two of them and left. Qingyun Temple is the main purpose of his visit to Heishan Town this time, and he must go there. , even if Uncle Zhou disagreed, he still went.

When the father and son both left, Zhou Wei turned around and looked at the empty yard. Zhou Wei just shook his head and smiled, and finally sighed again and again, and walked away...

Qingyun Temple is located on the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain outside Heishan Town. Zhou Mingfeng and his son walked out of the town and kept driving along the road to the south. The more they went in, the more trees there were, and Qingyun Temple was hidden among these trees.

The scenery around Qingyun Mountain is beautiful, it is autumn, the trees on both sides of the mountain are covered with a layer of golden clothes, the birds are singing, and the breeze is blowing, but it is a pity that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, the father and son have no intention of enjoying it.

The sun was hanging high, and although the weather was not as hot as before, the father and son had walked for a long time, and they also felt that sticky discomfort. Soaked, cuddled tightly on the body.

Zhou Huaiyan stepped up and down the steps made of stones, raised his head and looked up, and found that there was still a distance from Qingyun Temple. Although he was upset, his good education still made him persevere.

Zhou Mingfeng walked beside Zhou Huaiyan, although he looked like he was sweating profusely, but he was an adult, so he was naturally stronger than Zhou Huaiyan.

Zhou Mingfeng noticed the unnatural blush on Zhou Huaiyan's face and the beads of sweat on his forehead beside him, and asked with concern, "Yan'er, can you still hold on?"

Zhou Huaiyan nodded, although his feet were numb, but because of his mother's illness, he gritted his teeth and could still hold on.

"Father, I'm fine." Zhou Huaiyan took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead carefully. After finishing, he smiled at Zhou Mingfeng, signaling that he didn't have to worry.

"That's good, Yan'er, we will be able to reach Qingyun Temple after a short walk." Zhou Mingfeng patted Zhou Huaiyan on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Well, don't worry, dad, the baby is fine." Zhou Huaiyan smiled, but unfortunately his lips were pale, which seemed a bit forced.

"...Well, let's walk slowly." Zhou Mingfeng took a deep look at his son, and then walked forward, but his pace slowed down. Zhou Huaiyan knew that this was to wait for him, and he walked more easily than before a lot of.

The steps of Qingyun Temple are uneven, so it is not very easy to walk. Zhou Huaiyan not only has to stabilize his body balance, but also pays attention to the movement under his feet. The more steps he walks, the higher the altitude. If you don't pay attention, you will roll down the steps.

The field of vision became wider and wider, and the Qingyun Temple on the mountainside gradually became clear. Zhou Mingfeng looked at the Qingyun Temple in front of him, and said excitedly to Zhou Huaiyan beside him, "Yan'er, look, we will be there soon." After Zhou Mingfeng finished speaking, he pointed to the Qingyun Temple not far away, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Father, it's really Qingyun Temple." Zhou Huaiyan's tone was also very excited.

The two of them saw Qingyun Temple, and when they walked, they naturally quickened their pace. When they reached the gate of Qingyun Temple, Zhou Huaiyan could still clearly hear the Buddha's voice coming from Qingyun Temple, and looked at the closed gate in front of him. , Zhou Huaiyan looked back at Zhou Mingfeng beside him.

At this time, Zhou Mingfeng didn't want to show such calmness in his heart. He raised and lowered his outstretched hand, lowered it and raised it, back and forth continuously.

"Father, what's the matter?" Zhou Huaiyan noticed Zhou Mingfeng's actions, and felt a little worried, so he asked the question anyway.

"It's nothing." Zhou Mingfeng lowered his head and smiled, then walked two steps quickly to the gate of Qingyun Temple, put his hand on the gate, and buckled the buckle on the gate.

The sound of the clasp was clear and melodious, and not long after, the gate of Qingyun Temple was opened from the inside.

A young monk who looked young came out of the door of "Amitabha Buddha". After seeing Zhou Mingfeng and his son, he lowered his head and clasped his hands together, and asked, "I wonder what the two benefactors came to Qingyun Temple?"

"Little master, we father and son are here to visit Master Ming'an, I don't know if Master Ming'an is in your temple?" Zhou Mingfeng also clasped his hands together in front of his chest in return.

"Uncle Ming'an is studying Buddhism in the monastery, but he doesn't see outsiders, so he doesn't know what the two benefactors are talking about?" The little monk said calmly.

"Is it really missing?" Zhou Mingfeng continued to ask without giving up.

"I really don't see you," the little master bowed his head and said.

Zhou Mingfeng stroked his beautiful beard after listening to it, and after a long time, he continued, "...Please pass it on for me, my little master. Next Zhou Mingfeng, this is Zhou Huaiyan, the son of Zhou Huaiyan. My father is from Zhouling of Qingyang County. Master Mingchen is old, and this time he came to visit because of his family's business." Zhou Mingfeng thought up a new set of explanations in his stomach, and after being questioned, he said it in detail. He was reckless before. If it wasn't for the token that his father gave him, perhaps he would really have no excuse to seek Master Ming'an today.

Hearing what Zhou Mingfeng said, the little monk's expression was obviously not as calm as before, but a little excited and puzzled, plus curious, "So it's the family of Master Ming'an's old friend, isn't it Jiehui's, two benefactors, please come in "Si" Jie Hui finished speaking, and then moved sideways.

"Master Jiehui, please." Zhou Mingfeng bowed his head and held hands, and then entered Qingyun Temple with Zhou Huaiyan one after the other.

Qingyun Temple is a Buddhist temple. After entering through the front gate, Zhou Huaiyan not only saw many halls enshrining Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but also the almost invisible sandalwood fragrance in the air.

Because the two had already stated their purpose of coming here, Jiehui naturally led them to the backyard, where monks from temples and temples lived, and famous masters like Master Ming'an also lived here.

"Two benefactors, in front of you is Master Ming'an's room. Master Ming'an is in retreat, and benefactors can go there by themselves." Jie Hui stopped in front of a row of houses, then turned her head and said to the two people behind her.

"Master Jiehui, I wonder if there is a guest room here to rest? The dog is too tired, please trouble Master Jiehui." Zhou Mingfeng went to see Master Ming'an, and Zhou Huaiyan naturally didn't have to follow him. It would be impolite to wait at the door, so Zhou Mingfeng Asked directly.

Jiehui nodded and replied, "Of course there is, it's not a lot of trouble, little benefactor, let's go with the poor monk." Jiehui spoke to Zhou Huaiyan, and then said to Zhou Mingfeng, "Zhou benefactor, the poor monk is in the front lobby , if you and your uncle hate things, you can go to the front yard to find the poor monk."

"Trouble, Master Jiehui," Zhou Mingfeng said.

"Amitabha, goodness, goodness, benefactor Zhou, you don't need to be polite, go quickly, the poor monk will take the little benefactor to the guest room." After Jiehui finished speaking, she turned around and led Zhou Huaiyan to the guest room...

"Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock"

"please come in"

Hearing the voice from inside, Zhou Mingfeng quickly pushed open the door, "Amitabha, Master Ming'an, we've been away for so many years, long time no see." Zhou Mingfeng clasped his hands together and bowed his head to Master Ming'an who was sitting on the futon.

"It turned out to be benefactor Zhou. I wonder how old benefactor Zhou is doing recently? It's been more than ten years since we last said goodbye." Master Ming'an was chanting scriptures on the futon, watching the people who came in from the door, and got up with beads in his hand .

"The last time I went home, my father is fine, Master Cheng Ming'an is thinking about it," Zhou Mingfeng replied with his head bowed.

"The poor monk has no tables and chairs here, only a stone bed, so I had to see the benefactor Zhou standing." Master Ming'an had a compassionate expression on his face.

"Where is it? I took the liberty to interrupt Master Ming'an's retreat." Zhou Mingfeng shook his head.

"No, it's just a study of Buddhism." Master Ming'an shook his head and smiled, and then asked with a compassionate face, "Benefactor Zhou brought the token of old benefactor Zhou here to ask for something. I'm afraid it's going against the benefactor Zhou's entrustment." Master Ming'an looked at Zhou Mingfeng, and seemed to see through Zhou Mingfeng with his gentle but wise eyes.

Zhou Mingfeng smiled helplessly, and then directly took out the Buddhist beads that his father had given him before, handed it to Master Ming'an, and said in a deep voice, "Please come out of the mountain, Master, and go to Linfang County to take a look at your wife's condition." When the string of Buddha beads was handed over to him, he probably thought of today's situation, and he forced it.

There was no movement on the other side for a long time, knowing that Master Ming'an reached out to take the beads, shook his head and sighed, "Amitabha, Amitabha, why is Donor Zhou so persistent? The poor monk once asserted that the poor monk was unable to recover from his wife's affairs. Why did Donor Zhou come again? "

"...Master, I'm next..." Zhou Mingfeng's expression suddenly dawned, and the plastic frame was filled with sadness.

"Amitabha, reincarnation of cause and effect, this is what the poor monk said to Mrs. Xu back then. Since Mrs. Xu agreed back then, she had expected the situation today. Donor Zhou...why are you doing this?"

Master Ming'an made it clear that his old voice hit Zhou Mingfeng's chest.

"Also invite master to come out of the mountain!" Zhou Mingfeng bent down and raised his hands.

"...In that case, I will go to Linfang with the benefactor tomorrow." Master Ming'an clasped his hands together.

"Master Lao..."

"It's okay, benefactor Zhou, please go back." Master Ming'an directly opened his mouth to see off the guests.

When Zhou Mingfeng came out, he was a bit out of his wits. Seeing his father's absent-minded look, Zhou Huaiyan was worried, but he didn't ask. He knew that his father was in a bad mood.

The father and son returned to the herbal hall at night, and Zhou Mingfeng told Zhou Huaiyan the news that he would return to Linfang with Master Ming'an tomorrow, but he wanted to keep Zhou Huaiyan.

"Yan'er, Dad never told you that Uncle Zhou wants to take you in as a disciple. If you agree, you will naturally stay in Heishan Town. Besides, your mother's condition is also serious. Dad has no time to teach you medical skills when he goes back. Now with Uncle Zhou's words, Yan'er can stay and study medicine...Of course, if Yan'er wants to go back with father, it's fine." Zhou Mingfeng explained everything, and then waited for Zhou Huaiyan's answer.

"Since this is the case... the son is willing to stay in Heishan Town, mother. The son is not filial and cannot be loyal." Zhou Huaiyan listened to Zhou Mingfeng's words, lowered his head and thought carefully, and finally said through gritted teeth.

"It's nothing, your mother won't be angry." Seeing his son nodding, Zhou Mingfeng felt relieved, it's good to stay here, otherwise he won't be able to take care of him when he goes back.

After the father and son finished talking, Zhou Mingfeng went to talk to Zhou Wei again, and then left early the next morning...
