Chapter 83

"Dong dong..."

There was another knock on the door.

Song You opened the door and saw that it was the nun just now.

"What's the matter, Master?"

"You eat dinner yet?"

"I'm not hungry, Master doesn't have to worry about it."

"There's still some gruel in the pot, if you don't mind, I'll make you a bowl, you can make do with it."

"I am grateful to Master for sheltering me from the rain, how dare I tire Master any more." Song You said respectfully.

"Don't think it's bad."

The nun glanced into his room and saw that he had taken out his wet clothes, felt and blankets and spread them on the floor, but she didn't intend to help him any more, she turned around and walked into the darkness.

After a while, she came back again, holding a big bucket bowl in one hand and a small thick bowl in the other.

"Just leave it after eating."

"Thank you Master."

Song You was still respectful, and took it with both hands.

The big bucket bowl is filled with porridge. Although the bowl is big, it is so clear that it will shake when you hold it.There was a plate of pickled vegetables in the small thick bowl, and what surprised him was that it was actually pickled cauliflower, that is, small rapeseed flowers that had been pulled out, and a little golden could be seen faintly in the dark.

It was indeed their dinner tonight.

The light was getting darker and darker, Song You ate in the dark.

It was the first time I ate pickled vegetables made of cauliflower. I didn't expect it to be extra sour and refreshing. Even the porridge became delicious.

"..."

Song You concentrated on eating, and did not hear anything outside the window.

The three-flowered cat pricked up its ears and looked to the next door.

Song You only broke her head once in a while.

These days, whether Taoist temples or monasteries, there are unscrupulous ones.

As for how unserious is considered unserious, individuals have their own opinions.

Some Buddhist monasteries do not concentrate on practicing Buddhist scriptures, go to loan sharks, do not abide by precepts, go to monks and wives, go to eat meat and drink alcohol, and call them diamond fence vegetables, water Suohua, Prajna soup and so on. I feel that these monasteries or monks are not serious.Some Taoist temples do not practice Taoist scriptures, but go to business, practice martial arts, and fight with others. Some people feel that these temples or Taoists are not serious.

But there are even more unorthodox ones.

Palaces and temples are originally places for pure cultivation outside the world, far away from the world, and often become places where filth is hidden, and even places outside the law.

There are often some wanted criminals hiding in it, or the gangsters use the banner of monks as a cover, but they are actually doing other things.Generally speaking, the situation of Buddhist temples is more serious than that of Taoist temples, but the main reason is that the regulations of Buddhist temples are more favorable for them to act. Essentially, these people are neither monks nor Taoists.

For example, some nunneries actually serve men.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Song You.

People took them in on a rainy night, no matter whether they were nuns or other people, as far as this matter was concerned, they were benefactors.

What's more, they gave me a meal.

"Suck it..."

Song You poured the last bit of sour pickled cauliflower into the porridge, stirred it and drank it in one gulp, then put the bowl and chopsticks on the window sill.At this time, the noise from the next door also stopped, and the rain was still falling heavily. Sitting cross-legged for a while, he dried the clothes slowly with his body temperature, and then lay down with the clothes on.

"The people next door stopped talking."

"Miss Sanhua, don't listen to this."

"why?"

"Sleep peacefully."

"The rain is falling harder and harder."

"yes……"

It's a pity that the mountain is full of Jiang Pu flowers.

Maybe it's really not worth listening to the night rain in March.

……

In the early morning, there is the clear sound of birds chirping outside the house.

Attracted by the barking from time to time, the sanhua cat got out of the bed and ran to the window to check.As soon as the bird's chirping stopped, it drilled back and continued to nest.I don't know how many times I crawled in and out like this in the morning. Anyway, Song You woke up when she stepped on it for the first time, but she didn't want to get up, so she lay on the bed for a while.

Until there was a sound from outside, it was a little messy.

"Remember to remember..."

"I've written it down many times, sir!"

"Oh, it's not that the debt in the west of the city has not been recovered. I don't have enough money, so it's the same when I bring it with you next time?"

"Please, officer!"

"What to do? Can I miss yours? Let go!"

"It's not easy for us, officials..."

"What's so difficult? Lying there without moving? It's not easy to find money at home. Let go... You don't pay the tax, so why not?"

"..."

Song You lifted the quilt and sat up.

Put on your shoes and push the door to open the yard.

There was no sun outside, but the hut was too dark, so I couldn't help squinting my eyes for a while, trying to look into the courtyard with difficulty.

A tall man in baggy clothes of good material.A nun who was younger than the nun last night pulled his clothes and begged, and there were several nuns standing beside him, including the nun last night.It's just that facing this ruffian man, most of them are helpless.

"Ouch!"

During the struggle, the man saw Song You, his eyes lit up, he grinned, and said to the other nuns: "Your business is doing well, even the Taoist priests are here!"

The nuns bowed their heads and remained silent.

At this time, Song You's eyes had gradually adapted to the light, but he didn't speak, just looked at this person lightly.

There are all kinds of people in the world.

The man still wanted to have a conversation with him, so he said with a smile: "Sir, you know how to find a place. The nuns here are better than the girls in the city."

Song You still didn't answer him.

The nun looked away last night.

Only then did the man realize something was wrong, and his expression gradually became stiff: "I was talking to my husband, why did he ignore me? Is it a little rude?"

"..."

"Sir, can't you speak?"

"..."

"You Taoist priest! Why are you always looking at the Sa family?"

"..."

The man's expression changed again and again.

Song You felt more and more interesting.

A close look at a person's expression, demeanor, and details of behavior can actually reveal his heart and nature.

Human character is uncertain.

Personality can be divided into internal and external, as well as true and false, and sometimes it changes due to time and environment.

Some people are tough on the outside, but they are timid on the inside.

Some people pretend to be fierce, but they are actually cowardly.

Some people have developed a habit of showing a certain character in the long-term relationship with the people around them. After a long time, the people around them and even themselves think that they are such a person, but in fact, their nature is not like this.Once you get out of your familiar environment, you will reveal your true colors.

The nature is difficult to change, but what most people show is not the nature, but hides the nature deeply for various reasons.

Just like this seemingly vicious and tyrannical official in front of him——

When I saw Song You here at first, I thought this Taoist was the same kind as him, and when I was in a good mood, I wanted to make a few jokes, thinking that the other party would probably agree with me.

Later, I saw this Taoist staring at me, even if the other person didn't say a word, there was no emotion in his eyes, but because of his guilty conscience, he quickly felt that the other person was not only ignoring him, but also contemptuously offending and insulting himself , as if he heard words scolding himself from the eyes of this Taoist, and the scolding was very dirty.

This saves Song You's effort.

Because even if Song You really scolded him, it would definitely not be as severe as he imagined.

So the official tore his clothes angrily, broke free from the young nun's hand, and strode aggressively, as if he wanted to come over to embarrass Song You.But after all, Song You was not someone he knew well, not someone he was sure he could handle, so when he took a few steps closer and saw Song You still standing there looking at him without any fear, He stopped, not daring to turn against him, he verbally threatened a few steps away, and left here with a flick of his sleeves.

The nuns did not dare to stop him this time.

Song You looked at it lightly.

Presumably this official is used to being domineering, but in fact his nature is not tough. This kind of domineering is not only a habit formed by the people around him for a long time, but also the ability he relies on to survive.

Dealing with Xiaomin, this kind of domineering can make it easier for him to achieve his goals, and he will gradually get used to it. Habits lead to domineering, and domineering deepens habits.

But it didn't change his heart.

But he actually knows right and wrong, and knows that his behavior is despised by others, so when others don't speak, he also feels that others are scolding him.

In essence, the heart is still lost.

Song You looked away, and saw the helplessness of several nuns, and the side face of the master who took him in last night, but at this time his expression had become respectful, and he saluted:

"Thank you to the masters for taking shelter from the rain, and thank you to the masters for the meals."

"The rain has stopped, let's go."

"It's just that I don't know who it was just now?"

"What did you ask him for?"

"Oh, I didn't mean to offend the masters." Song You quickly bowed his head and saluted, "I just saw that the official's luck is not good, I am afraid that there is some disaster in the near future, although I have no way to resolve it, but I want to take advantage of it to find He said to see if he could find some money."

"Don't think about it, that's Li Daguan who is well-known in the city. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he supports Daxian Lingmin. Even if there is a disaster, it will not be your turn. If you really look for it, you may suffer some hardships."

"What is Sensitive Immortal?"

"You are a Taoist priest from outside, don't ask more questions."

"Then thank you for the reminder."

"Pack up and go."

"Thank you, masters."

"Don't thank us, you don't think our place is dirty for your practice." The nun said last night, she took a look at Song You, "If you really have some skills and really want to thank us, don't make up your mind. Hit that Li Daguan, he is not easy to mess with, as long as we clear our karma during the usual time of burning incense and worshiping God, so that we don't go to hell."

"Master was joking." Song You lowered his head again, "Where is hell in this world? Even if there is hell, Master neither steals nor robs, but is kind-hearted. If you want to go to hell like this, then hell will be worse than hell." The human world needs to be bigger to hold the world’s people.”

As soon as these words came out, the nun couldn't help being taken aback.

As if something was touched in her heart, she couldn't help turning her head to look at the Taoist's expression. It was natural but strange to see no slightest contempt on his face. She opened her mouth to speak, hesitated to speak, and finally remained silent.

The morals of the world cannibalize people, how can the world be as one wishes.

The nun waved her hand and urged again and again:
"We don't have anything to eat here, so we won't let you have breakfast, let's go."

"I'm grateful for the overnight stay, and the food last night was extremely delicious, so I dare not ask for more." Song You saluted again, and said respectfully, "I'll clean it up here."

After speaking, he turned around and went back to the hut.

When he came out earlier, the three-flowered cat followed him out. He stood there, and the three-flowered cat was sitting at his feet. He looked at Li Daguan, and the three-flowered cat also stared at Li Daguan. Following him back to the house, he seemed to be extremely spiritual.

While tidying up, he read:
"Sensitive Immortal..."

Song You felt a little strange for a while.

It seems that the boundary of Pingzhou is not only the legend of many immortals, gods and ghosts, but also the connection between immortals, gods, ghosts and human beings.I just don’t know whether these so-called fairy gods and ghosts often deal with mortals, which creates this extraordinarily strong atmosphere of fairy gods, or whether this extraordinarily strong atmosphere of fairy gods prompts more people to come into contact with fairy gods, ghosts, and attracts more fairy gods. Gods, demons and ghosts come to meet mortals.

"Taoist, what did you say?"

"It's nothing."

Song You continued to pack his things.

After a moment.

The cat stood at the feet of the Taoist, and its little feet stepped on the ground that was still stagnant, making it dirty.The Taoist put the still wet quilt on the horse's back, said goodbye to the masters, and went down the mountain.

The road was muddy after the rain and the descent was slippery.

A Taoist takes one step at a time, and a cat takes one step at a time.

Fortunately, the road is not long.

There were already passers-by on the main road below, and when they saw him coming down the hill and wearing Taoist robes, they couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Song You didn't care, just went down the mountain.

Walking out for a while, looking back, the nunnery on the top of the slope has been washed clean after a night of heavy rain.

There seemed to be a figure at the door.

The secular gaze is sometimes a sword that hurts people. Although these nuns are kind, they are also humble and sensitive in their hearts.Although she really helped him, she was also afraid that he would despise them.

How could it be?

The Bodhisattva never helped Song You at all, but they really took him in for a night.

By the way, there is another dinner.

It's a pity I didn't have breakfast.

The sauerkraut made of cauliflower is really delicious.
