Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The old monk Wu Zhi escorted Chen Afu out of the meditation room, then nimbly returned to the cabinet and opened the box. I greedily looked at it again and again, smelled it again, and tugged at my beard for a long time. Then he took out the green bird's nest, closed the box and put it in the cabinet.

He said to another young monk who was seven or eight years old, "Gui Er, I have to stay behind closed doors to make medicine for twenty days without seeing anyone... Oh, no, I won't see anyone for thirty days as a teacher. The first twenty days will be After making medicine, incense will be made in the next ten days, and the fasting meal will be delivered to the door of the pharmacy or incense making room. Remember, no one is allowed to disturb the teacher. That donor Li, let your senior brother Qi Ling give him acupuncture tomorrow , and then ask him to come back to the temple in two months."

The young monk Gui Er hurriedly bowed and responded.

Chen Afu and others were escorted out of Lingyin Temple by a young monk, got on the carriage and went to Yingxue Temple.

She could always hear Jin Yanzi's whimpering cries in her mind. The little guy usually gives away treasures in the space, and the leaves are measured in eyedrops, let alone the more precious green bird's nest. Giving away so much is not taking away its little heart.

But with Qiuyue beside her, she could neither enter the space to coax it nor communicate with it, so she had to listen, which made her feel distressed and regretful.

It is spring at this time, and the greener colors become more intense as you go up the mountain, with clusters of brilliant purple and red mountain flowers interspersed with them.

In the backyard of Yingxue'an, several children were playing in the yard outside the Zen room. Their cheerful and clear laughter broke the tranquility of the past. Liao Chen sat aside and watched, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

Smiling, she suddenly saw another scene. A beautiful young woman was sitting on the porch making clothes for her husband. From time to time she would look up at a pair of children laughing and playing in the yard.

The young and handsome husband came back, and the beautiful woman hurriedly put down her clothes and stood up to greet him. The children ran faster. The daughter was already in her husband's arms, and the son was also being held by her husband.

The husband walked up to the woman, smiled softly, and said, "Yun'er, I'm back."

That scene seemed so long ago that it seemed like it happened a lifetime ago. So much so that she often felt uncertain, was that beautiful woman her former self? Is that handsome man his former husband? Have you ever had a husband, children, or a family?

Liao Chen's eyes were covered with mist. She quickly raised her hand to wipe it off, lowered her head and turned the beads in her hand, and began to recite scriptures.

Suddenly, the children screamed louder.

"Mother..."

"Aunt..."

"Aunt Chen..."

Following the cry, the four children all threw themselves at Chen Afu at the entrance of the courtyard. Some hugged his waist and some grabbed his skirt.

Chen Afu chuckled, knelt down and hugged the four children into his arms, and said with a smile, "Babys, please keep your voice down. This is a quiet place of Buddhism. You cannot disturb the tranquility of Bodhisattvas."

Several children raised their chubby index fingers to their lips, "shushed" a few times, and their voices became softer.

Chen Afu looked at the grinning Dabao and thought of the bloody disaster that the old monk said. Her heart ached so much that she really wanted to tie him to her belt so that he would never leave her for a moment.

She touched his little face and said, "Dabao, you have to be well and nothing will happen to you."

Dabao was a little confused, but still nodded and said, "Oh."

Chu Hanyan said jealously, "Where is my sister? Has aunt forgotten my sister?"

Yang Qian said reluctantly, "There's still me, there's still me."

Yang Chao didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes said that he couldn't forget him either.

Chen Afu touched their little faces again and said with a smile, "And you guys, you all need to be well."

Then, Chen Afu straightened up and was surrounded by them and came to Abbot Chen. He bowed and saluted her and said with a smile, "Abbot Chen."

Liao Chen stood up and said with a smile, "Afu, thank you. I like the plain-clothed nun you made. I want to thank you even more. Yan'er is more cheerful and smarter than the last time I saw the nun. Ah, that's great. This kid can surprise people every time I see him.”

The little girl can make such rapid progress not only because of herself, but also because of the generous Jinbao who is crying in the space.

Chen Afu smiled and looked at Miss Chu who was looking up for praise, touched her little face, smiled and said to Chen, "Sister Yan is very smart, and I like her more and more." He added , "My skills in making clothes are not good, and the stitches are not fine, which makes the abbot laugh."

After chatting with Chen for a few words, she got rid of a few more little tails and hurried to Gong's room. He locked the door and stepped into the space.

I saw Jin Yanzi lying on the ground, covering his head with two wings and crying bitterly, his little body still twitching.

Chen Afu knelt down, picked it up and held it in his hands, and said, "Baby, stop crying. Mommy feels bad when you are like this."

The golden swallow lowered its wings, its eyes were swollen from crying, its little pointed mouth was half-opened, its pink tongue was still trembling, tears wet the feathers on its little head, and it was still humming and sobbing. Said, "I have lived for so many years, and I have never taken out so many things at once. It takes at least twenty years of hard work to weave a green bird's nest. Not only is it time-consuming, but it also consumes a lot of my energy. All of a sudden I've been blackmailed so much by the old bald donkey, huh huh..."

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Chen Afu felt even more distressed. He held it in front of his eyes and said, "Oh, baby, you broke mommy's heart. Stop crying. Mommy thanks you for brother Dabao."

After saying that, I couldn't help but kiss its little pointed beak once, twice, or three times. He took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped its tears.

Jinbao stopped crying and stared at Chen Afu blankly with narrowed eyes, then turned into a look of admiration. It had been kissed twice by Chen Afu before, but it was just once, so fast that it ended before it could react. But this time, it finally felt what it felt like to be kissed and loved.

It looked at Chen Afu, stretched its neck and chirped, "Mommy, why do you feel so sweet? Kissing is so good, I like it so much, I'm so happy. In the future, can you kiss your relatives more? Just like you kiss Stinky Dabao is just like sister Yan'er. Don't worry, although her little mouth is powerful, it won't hurt mommy."

What a child who lacks love. This little look, this little request made Chen Afu's heart as soft as marshmallow. From this moment on, she was no longer afraid of its pointed mouth.

Chen Afu raised it to his eyes, kissed it again, and said softly, "You are mommy's baby, and you will definitely not hurt mommy. From now on, mommy will kiss you more, just like her own child."

After hearing this, Golden Swallow smiled with her pointed mouth and put the tip of her wing into her mouth again, as if she was reminiscing about the kiss just now.

Seeing that it was healed, Chen Afu gently placed it on the ground and said, "Baby, rest well. Mommy can't stay here for long, they are waiting for me outside." After saying that, he stepped out of the space.
