Chapter 83 Li Daguanren and the agile immortal(1/2)
Chapter 83 Official Li and the Sensitive Immortal
"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 wrong, Master?"
"Did you have dinner?"
"I'm not hungry, Master, don't worry."
"There's still some gruel in the pot. If you don't mind, I'll get you a bowl. You can make do with it."
"I can't thank you enough for master's shelter from the rain. How dare you trouble master any more?" Song You said respectfully.
"Just don't think it's bad."
The nun glanced inside his room and saw that he had taken out his wet clothes and spread the felt and blankets on the floor. She showed no intention of helping him and turned around and walked into the darkness.
After a while, she came back again, carrying a big bowl in one hand and a small thick bowl in the other.
"Just leave it alone after eating."
"Thank you, Master."
Song You still respectfully took it with both hands.
What was in the big bowl was gruel. Although it was a big bowl, it was very clear and would slosh when he held it. What was in the small bowl was a plate of pickled vegetables. What surprised him was that it was actually pickled cauliflower.
The small rapeseed flowers that were pulled off were faintly golden in the darkness.
I guess it is indeed their dinner tonight.
The light was getting darker and darker, and Song You was groping in the dark.
It was the first time I ate pickles made from cauliflower. I didn’t expect them to be so sour and refreshing, and even the porridge became flavorful.
"..."
Song You concentrated on eating and didn't hear anything going on outside the window.
The calico cat raised its ears and looked next door.
Song You only occasionally broke her head off.
These days, whether it is Taoist palaces, temples or nunneries, they are all unorthodox.
As for whether it is considered serious or not, everyone has a personal opinion.
Some Buddhist temples do not concentrate on practicing Buddhist scriptures, they go to usury, do not abide by the precepts, go to find monks' wives, eat meat and drink wine, and euphemistically call it weeds, water shuttle flowers, Prajna soup and so on. Some people
Some people feel that these temples 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 Taoist monks are not serious.
But there are even more unseemly ones.
Palaces, temples, and temples were originally places of purity and purity, far away from the worldly world, but many times they became places of harboring filth and evil, and even became places outside the law.
There are often wanted criminals hiding there, or criminals using the guise of being a monk as a cover, but actually doing other things. Generally speaking, the situation in Buddhist temples is more serious than that of Taoist temples, but the main reason is that the regulations of Buddhist temples are more conducive to their actions.
, essentially these people are neither monks nor Taoists.
For example, some nunneries actually serve men.
But these have nothing to do with Song You.
Someone took them in on a rainy night. Regardless of whether they were nuns or not, or someone else, for this reason alone, they were benefactors.
What's more, they also gave me a meal.
"Suck..."
Song You poured the last bit of 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 sound from the next door also stopped, but the rain was still falling heavily. He sat cross-legged for a while to use his body temperature.
Dry the clothes slowly, then lie down with them on.
"The people next door stopped talking."
"Miss Sanhua, don't listen to this."
"Why?"
"Sleep peacefully."
"The rain is getting heavier and heavier."
"yes……"
It's a pity that the mountains are full of ginger flowers.
Maybe you really shouldn’t listen to the rain on a March night.
…
In the early morning, there was a clear sound of birds chirping outside the house.
The calico cat was attracted by the chirping from time to time, got out of the bed, and ran to the window to check. As soon as the chirping of the birds stopped, he crawled back and continued to nest. He crawled in and out like this many times in the morning. Anyway, she stepped on the first one.
Song You woke up at that time, but he didn't want to get up and stayed in bed for a while.
Until there was a sound outside, some confusion.
"Remember, remember..."
"I've recorded it many times, officer!"
"Oh, isn't this Chengxi's debt that hasn't been recovered? I don't have enough money. Isn't it the same thing if I bring it with you next time?"
"Please, officer!"
"What to do? Is there anything I can do without you? Let go, let go!"
"It's not easy for us as officials..."
"What's not easy? Lying there and not moving? It's not easy to find money in the house. Let's just let go...you don't pay the tax. How can you handle it?"
"..."
Song You opened the quilt and sat up.
Put on your shoes and open the door to the yard.
There was no sun outside, but the cabin was too dark. I couldn't help but squint my eyes and look into the courtyard with difficulty.
A tall man with loose clothes and good fabric. A nun who was younger than the nun last night pulled his clothes and begged. There were several nuns standing beside him, including the one last night. Just facing this
He was a very arrogant man, and most of them looked helpless.
"Ouch!"
During the tug-of-war, the man saw Song You, his eyes lit up, he grinned, and said to the other nuns: "Your business is doing well, even Taoist priests are here!"
The nuns bowed their heads and said nothing.
At this time, Song You's eyes had gradually adapted to the light, but he did not speak, and just looked at the person lightly.
There are all kinds of things in the world, and there are all kinds of people.
The man still wanted to talk to him, so he said with a smile: "Sir, you are good at finding a place. The nuns here are better than the girls in the city."
Song You still didn't answer him.
The nun last night looked away.
Only then did the man realize that something was wrong, and his expression gradually stiffened: "I'm talking to my husband, but why is he ignoring me? Isn't it a little rude?"
"..."
"Sir, can't you speak well?"
"..."
"You Taoist priest! Why do you always look at the Sa family?"
"..."
The man's expression changed again and again.
Song You found it more and more interesting.
If you look closely at a person's expression, demeanor, and behavior details, you can actually see his heart and nature.
Human character is uncertain.
Personality can be divided into internal and external, real and fake, and sometimes changes due to time and environment.
Some people appear tough but are actually timid on the inside.
Some people pretend to be fierce, but in fact they are weak at heart.
Some people develop the habit of showing a certain personality during long-term interactions with the people around them. Over time, people around them and even themselves think that they are such a person, but in fact their nature is not like this. Once they leave their familiar environment
, the original shape will be revealed.
