After eating, I was just about to sleep for a while, when I suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps outside, and my ears stood up.
You know, no one comes here at this time of the day.
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is a forbidden place in the temple, this is the rule I have set, no one is allowed to approach without permission, unless there is an emergency, is there something wrong I closed my eyes and stared, it turned out to be Zhang Ling'er's child walking here with a white-flour bun in his hand.
I was surprised, because the monks in the temple could only eat in the dining hall, and they could only leave after eating the food, so how could they let him bring the food out This kid must have seen that I hadn't gone to eat and was worried about it, so he secretly brought the bun out.
I sighed, pulled out the scroll, opened the door, and went out, closing the door behind me.
When Ling'er saw me, her eyes flashed with joy, and she raised the bun in her hand and said, "Abbot, are you tired when you don't go to eat, you see that I brought you a white-flour bun, you eat."
I deliberately sank my face and said coldly: "You are hiding food" Zhang Ling'er saw that my face was not good, the smile on her face faded, and she whispered timidly: "This is my share, I am afraid that you will be hungry, so I am not willing to eat."
And so it was.
I thought about it, took the bun, broke it in half, gave him the big half, and took a bite on the smaller half, and said, "Thank you, but not for example."
The child was happy again.
I motioned for him to eat it, and he swallowed it in the blink of an eye.
It seems that I am a little choked, and my little belly is not bulging, so I shouldn't have eaten enough.
So I locked the door, took him by the hand, and led him to the dining hall.
While stroking his head, he patiently taught him: "Ling'er, you must know that since you have entered the temple, you must abide by the rules of the temple, no matter what the reason, understand?"
He listened and nodded confidently, "Don't worry, I will, I won't embarrass you." ” I smiled and explained to him, "You can eat as much as you can in the hall, and you won't go hungry."
But remember, the food that is given to you is for you to eat, not your private property, and you can't take out what you eat without permission and make other arrangements, you know?"
"Oh," Zhang Ling'er blinked, as if she had realized, "But, abbot, aren't you hungry if you haven't eaten?"
I prevaricated, "I ate too much in the morning, and I'm still full."
Zhang Ling'er lowered her head, a little embarrassed.
I saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so I patted him on the head and said with relief: "Don't worry, in this temple, I am the abbot, how can there be times when I am hungry, but I still want to thank you for thinking about me."
When Zhang Ling'er heard this, she immediately became cheerful, and said crisply: "You're welcome, abbot."
You're so good to me, I think you're as you should, it's good if you don't get angry with me. ” While talking, I came to the dining hall and saw several monks cleaning up the table and cleaning.
When they saw me coming in, they all hurriedly put down their work, stood in good order, and saluted me.
I told one of them, "Go and make a bowl of soup for this child, and bring another bun."
This kid is new to the law, he doesn't know the rules, and he doesn't dare to squeak until he is full. ” The monk went down to prepare, and I led Zhang Ling'er to find a stool and sit down.
Unexpectedly, the child lowered his head, as if he had a condition.
I saw that something was wrong, so I lifted his chin to look.
It turned out that this kid's eyes were full of tears at some point, and in the blink of an eye, the bean-sized tears rolled down.
I held his little face with both hands, wiped away the tears for him with my thumb, and said softly: "What's the matter, why are you still excited?"
Zhang Ling'er whimpered for a long time and said, "Abbot, you are too good to me, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you in my life."
I smiled, "I don't want you to be a cow or a horse, you just need to be yourself." ” "Abbot, what I say is from my heart, in the future, I will be your person in life, and your ghost in death, I" I covered his mouth, this kid really dared to say anything.
I looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Live yourself, do you know, I took you up the mountain so that you can live like a person and a dignified person, not to covet anything in return from you."
Do you understand?"
Zhang Ling'er stared at me with a pair of big eyes, as if she understood or not, and nodded.
I let go of my hand, and at that moment, a monk brought soup and steamed buns, along with a small plate of kimchi.
I motioned for him to eat.
The boy picked up the bun, looked up at me again, and asked, "You really don't eat it."
I shook my head, and he snorted and gulped down the soup.
This kid is really hungry, Ba Cheng didn't eat in the morning I touched his head and said lovingly, "Eat slowly, it's not enough."
He nodded, and with a muffled "um" in his mouth.
I stood up, pinched his little face, and said, "I'll go back first, and when you're done eating, go back to the dormitory to sleep well, recuperate your spirits, and shave your face tomorrow."
He was about to stand up and see me off, but I held him down, and thinking of his trespassing into the Scripture Pavilion, I instructed: "The Scripture Pavilion is a place where the abbot stays, and it is punishable to go there without permission."
However, those who don't know are not to blame, and I won't punish you today.
But you have to remember that you can't mention today's incident to anyone, otherwise, let the monk in charge of discipline know, and I won't be able to protect you, you know?"
Zhang Ling'er looked at me and nodded a little blankly, "Got it." ” I stroked his head twice, tapped his skinny shoulder, and turned to walk out the door.

As soon as I was about to step out of the threshold, Zhang Ling'er behind me suddenly stopped me, "Abbot, what if I miss you?"
I was in shape, my heart was turbulent, and I was thrilled by a sense of responsibility that I had never felt like a father to his children.
I don't want him to see what I'm looking like.
I didn't look back, tried to hide my emotions, and replied, "We'll see each other often."
And he hurried away.
Back at the Scripture Pavilion, I sat at the table for a long time before my mood calmed down a little.
He took a few deep breaths before concentrating on the scroll.
As soon as the candle dragon saw me coming, he came forward with an anxious face and looked at me uneasily.
I knew that it must be inside and outside, I was in a bad mood, in a daze, thinking that something was wrong, but I couldn't get out, so I could only watch and be anxious.
I touched the bridge of its big nose, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that I met a child and remembered many things about my past, and I felt a little emotional, it's okay." ” I yawned, "I'm tired and want to rest, Candle Dragon, feel free." ” I fell asleep, and a large bed covered with soft bunks was instantly placed under me, just like the carved bed in the home when I was a child.
I muttered, "Three beds, almost the same as a dormitory."
Then he fell into a deep sleep. t1706231537:
