The little novice monk jumped happily down the mountain.

He was still just a child, with a naughty mind that was always restless. He would often wander off while sitting in the temple chanting sutras, and the large, patched monk's robes were very interesting to wear.

He had walked this mountain road countless times, and it was clear where there were rocks and where there were springs.

I wiped my nose and held the wooden bowl carefully.

After turning a corner and walking out of the bamboo forest to the lotus pond, the little novice suddenly stopped and looked at a sleeping "tiger" wearing a straw hat by the lake from a distance.

Suddenly, the little novice monk who had just been jumping up and down showed a surprised expression.

The most beautiful tiger in the village and town is not as beautiful as her. The young novice has never seen this tiger nearby. He wants to get close but dare not get close. He is afraid that the master will punish him when he finds out, but it is really beautiful.

The little novice monk, who was a little shy, hid behind the thick green bamboo and peeked.

Beside the pond, Bai Yujun was sleeping with his legs crossed and a smile on his face.

Originally, Bai Yujun was disgusted with the Western religion's large-scale invasion of Shiwanda Mountain to assassinate the Aoki Demon King. However, the little novice monk was just a child who knew nothing about it. He could not be hostile to him just because he was angry. Those monks could do such a thing.

Bai Yujun can't do this kind of thing.

After a long time, the little novice monk walked quietly to Bai Yujun.

Squatting beside him, he supported his chin with his palms and looked at Bai Yujun. His big eyes were full of curiosity, which was very interesting.

"Every child in the village has a mother, so where is my mother..."

The little guy was talking to himself.

"Gouzi's mother will make him taro cakes, which are delicious. If my mother were here, she would make them for me too..."

"My mother... must be very beautiful, even prettier than Ah Hua's mother..."

The little novice monk squatted in front of Bai Yujun and talked to himself.

Bai Yujun felt a little sympathy for this little baby. Just like him, he didn't know where his mother was when he was just born. Look, he thought the snake demon was his mother. If he turned into a snake at this time, he would probably leave a shadow on the child for the rest of his life.

Stretch and pretend to wake up accidentally.

The little novice stood up a little cautiously, neither running nor standing.

"Little bald head?"

Bai Yujun smiled and touched the shiny head.

Immediately, the little novice was like a little boy who was sitting in the back row of the classroom but was called on by the teacher to read the text. He stood there with shortness of breath, nervousness and fear, and his face was red.

"I...my name is Xiao Shitou, and I am a monk who makes orders..."

"Live in Zhuquan Temple..."

"My master's name is Hui Xian, and he asked me to go down the mountain to beg for alms..."

Bai Yujun couldn't help laughing. Look at the little guy. He was so nervous that he even shook his head. It turned out to be a young monk who was in charge of orders. Zhuquan Temple should be the temple in the mountain not far away. The monk's clothes on his body were torn.

Dong also walked all the way down the mountain to beg for alms, and it seemed that life on the mountain was not easy.

"Little rocks? Interesting name."

"My master picked me up next to a stone and named me Stone, saying it was easy to make a living."

Xiao Shitou's rapid breathing gradually subsided and he was no longer as nervous as before.

Begging for alms is not easy. How can I be full after eating those cabbage porridge? I reached out and pulled out a big carp from the fish basket soaked in the water and slapped it into the arms of the small stone.

"Here, eating fish is good for your health."

Little Shitou was startled and couldn't bear to see the lively carp.

"This...this can't be eaten..."

"Can't you eat it? It's delicious and fragrant. I'm sure you'll want to eat it every day after you finish it."

"It...it's still alive...let it go..."

"You really don't want to eat?"

"I really don't want to eat it. It's so pitiful. How about letting it go..."

"Since you said so, let it go. Release it yourself. Be careful not to slip and fall into the water. No one can save you if you catch a cold." Bai Yujun very generously left the fate of the carp to Xiao Shitou.

Maybe it will be a good story again in the future.

With the big carp in his arms, Little Shitou happily ran to the lake and squatted down carefully.

As soon as the carp was released into the water, the carp flicked its tail twice and quickly swam into the deep water and disappeared. The little stone chuckled, Bai Yujun shrugged, and the main ingredient that was originally intended to be boiled fish was let go.

"Little bald head, you let go of my lunch, are you going to give me a vegetarian meal after almsgiving?"

Bai Yujun scares Xiao Shitou.

"Ah? This... okay, I'll bring you a portion."

Xiao Shitou was a little embarrassed. It was already difficult to make alms in the first place. The villages and towns in the mountains were poor and they didn't have much money and food. But he had just let go of the carp and left people without food. He gritted his teeth and had to help with the alms.

"Haha~ I'm scaring you, don't worry, I have food to eat myself, go and beg for alms, don't be hungry."

"Well, thank you Tiger, uh... donor."

The smiling Bai Yujun was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the tiger meant. When he inquired carefully, he found that the small stone had run away. He was happily carrying a broken wooden bowl, as if he had turned into a full meal, and jumped away.

.

What a fun little guy.

The mood improved, the weather turned from overcast to sunny, the bright sunshine shone down, the green lotus leaves shed water drops and revealed their sharp corners, the frogs jumped on the lotus leaves again and croaked endlessly, everything was so peaceful.

Counting on tiptoes, I flew lightly into the sky to find a restaurant for dinner.

On the way, I heard that there is a famous local all-bamboo banquet. The soil and water support the people. Since you come here, of course you cannot miss such delicacies in the world. Since you are alive, you must live well. Try the taste of this all-bamboo banquet. Is it as famous as the legend?

Fly to a nice-looking town near the Bamboo Sea.

I found a restaurant that is said to have been passed down for generations. The restaurant is not big, not a two-story or three-story one. Attic buildings are only seen in larger cities such as county towns. Most ordinary small towns are divided into several buildings.

The house is an elegant and exquisite small bamboo house. The windows open to the sea of ​​bamboo, which is very nice.

The proprietress of the small shop personally served the dishes, bringing hot dishes with a unique aroma to the table.

An all-bamboo feast is made up of several dishes such as bamboo shoots and bamboo fungus, bamboo pickles, bamboo sea bacon, etc., which are extremely fragrant. Bai Yujun tried hard to swallow unconditionally, and it was extremely difficult to eat. Fortunately, the dishes tasted very authentic and delicious.

I have the urge to swallow the snake and the lettuce together, and I want to lick the plate clean.

Thank God for eating such authentic food in this age without pollution and chemicals.

The couple in the shop cook carefully and select the best ingredients to make delicious food. I remember when they were staying in the bamboo forest, they saw them going into the mountain to dig bamboo shoots as soon as the sky lightened up, and they worked hard to prepare the dishes.

After finishing the meal, drink a cup of tea and look out the window at the bamboo sea for a unique experience.

The key price is affordable, and Bai Yujun was very generous and gave her a piece of silver.

After dinner, I went out for a stroll and wandered around the town with my knife. Suddenly, I saw the small stones used for alms in the town. I went from house to house to alms with wooden bowls in hand, and kind-hearted people gave out meals to give alms.

Bai Yujun smiled, turned around, picked up the horizontal sword, sheathed it with both arms and walked out of the town.

As I was walking, I suddenly stopped.

"Oh, it's really a little stone that doesn't make the snake worry."
Chapter completed!
