The thunderstorm turned from small to heavy, and there was no shelter from the rain except this temple. Fang Jiayin coughed and said, "I have been to this temple once in the spring. There are only two monks, an old man and a young man. They are very kind. Now,

I'm afraid I'm going out."

Uncle Ma followed, "This is a temple, where the Buddha saves all sentient beings. We are in trouble now, so going in to rest for a while does not count as trespassing in a private house."

After that, Ma Sanshu turned his eyes to An Ziyuan, who was supported by two followers, and asked him to express his position. An Ziyuan said gently, "It's okay to stay down, but Mrs. Lin is seriously ill and can't be exposed to the rain anymore. In the spring, I will leave the door."

Open it, let's go in and ask Buddha for trespassing."

Fang, who had no strength to speak, nodded to everyone and thanked everyone. An Fengchun cut the lock with a knife and pushed open the mountain door.

This is a temple with two entrances, inside and outside. The door of the main hall in the middle is open, and the temple is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people in distress. The temple is not spacious and tall, and the statue of Guanyin does not have a golden body, but it is clean and tidy, and you can see that the temple is

The monks did not neglect Buddhist services.

Seeing this kind-faced Guanyin statue, Lin Ruyu thought of the Guanyin statue in the ruined temple in Wusha Town. Wusha Town has been flooded, and she wonders whether the ruined temple can withstand the impact of the flood.

Because they were in such a state of embarrassment, everyone went outside the palace gate to apologize and thank Bodhisattva for his blessing, and then began to look for a shelter from the rain and a resting room.

There are small courtyards on the left and right sides of the Guanyin Hall, and there is also a small courtyard behind the hall. In the courtyard, two monks' robes, one large and one small, are hanging to dry. It can be seen that this is the residence of two monks.

Shen Ge stepped forward and moved the bamboo pole with the monk's robe under the eaves.

Pretentious! An Ziyuan glanced at Shen Ge, put on a gentle smile, and said, "The two small courtyards on the left and right of the main hall should be dining rooms. Mrs. Lin and her family live in the east courtyard, and we live in the west courtyard. What do you think?"

"

Although there are only four people in Mrs. Lin's family, there are two female dependents among them. It is very reasonable for them to occupy the same courtyard. Fang Jiayin and the four of them have no objection.

Fang and Lin Ruyu thanked everyone and helped each other to the east courtyard. There were three main rooms in the east courtyard. Lin Ruyu helped her mother into the main room and found that there were two fairly spacious bamboo beds in the room.

The quilt suddenly opened up and smiled.

After letting her mother and A Heng sit at the table to rest, Lin Ruyu braved the rain and entered the small kitchen on the west wall of the courtyard, intending to boil hot water for the family to drink and wash themselves.

Although there was no firewood, rice, oil, or salt in the small kitchen, there was an iron pot that was not rusty and two large bundles of dry firewood.

As soon as Lin Ruyu put down the bamboo pot lid, Dafu walked in quickly with a bucket of water and a fire fold.

Lin Ruyu happily took the fire certificate, "Brother, where did you find it?"

Lin Dafu, who was also wearing wet clothes and with muddy feet, replied naively, "Brother Shen gave it to me."

The flood started ten days earlier. If it weren't for Shen Ge, their family of four would not have been able to escape this disaster. How lucky she was that she got to know Shen Ge in Wusha Town.

Lin Ruyu asked with a smile, "Brother, can you use fire to fold zizi?"

It is shameful to say that when Lin Ruyu was in the Lin family in her previous life, the things used in her boudoir were all exquisite. Although she could recognize the ones in the temple as fire folds, she didn't know how to use them.

"Yes." Dafu, who was used to doing rough work, took the fire stick, put firewood and dead leaves into the stove, and lit the fire.

Lin Ruyu took off the cooking broom hanging on the wall and scrubbed the large pot twice, poured water into it and heated it, then used a gourd made by cutting a big-bellied gourd in half, scooped up water and scalded the two pots found in the main room.

Then put the hot water in the pot into the wooden basin, and then pour the water that Dafu just brought into the pot. "Brother, take this basin of hot water into the Xili room, mix it with cold water and wash your hair and body."

Just soak the dirty clothes in the mud and soak them in the basin. I will take this basin of water to clean my mother and A Heng."

Dafu wanted to help Lin Ruyu carry the basin, but she stopped him, "I can carry it. Brother, take a shower and rest. Leave the rest to me."

Lin Dafu's injuries on the soles of his feet and limbs have not healed properly, and he received several more scratches this morning. He is just resisting the flood on the poplar tree and rowing hard on the fishing boat. He is only fifteen years old.

Now, it was her turn to take care of them. Lin Ruyu entered the house with a basin and found that her mother had taken off the dirty clothes on little A Heng, and the little guy was wrapped in a quilt and snored as he slept.

Seeing her daughter come in with water, Fang endured dizziness and walked to the table, "Jiaojiao, mother, let me wash it for you."

Lin Ruyu put the heavy wooden basin on the ground and said with a smile, "My daughter will wash my mother first. My mother has a wound on her head. If she doesn't wash it off quickly and change into wet clothes, she will catch cold and get high fever."

After these two disasters, her daughter had grown up in just a few days. Fang's eyes were red, and she raised her cold hand to touch her daughter's warm face, but she didn't hold on any longer, because she really couldn't hold on any longer.

She had to get well as soon as possible so that she could take care of her two children and repay her benefactors for saving her life twice.

After helping her mother cleanse herself and shampoo her hair, Lin Ruyu helped her mother dry her hair with dry sheets and brought her a bowl of warm water.

Fang felt sorry for her daughter, so she first let her drink half the bowl, and then drank the remaining half, "Okay, Jiaojiao, please take a quick wash, don't catch a cold."

Lin Ruyu agreed, "Mother, rest for a while while my daughter goes to fetch water."

Seeing her mother lying down, she fell asleep soon after. Lin Ruyu covered her with a quilt and touched A Heng's forehead to confirm that he didn't have a fever. Then she picked up the dirty clothes they took off and walked out quietly.

In the back room, he walked through the main room and asked in a low voice, "Brother?"

Hearing the snoring in the room, Lin Ruyu lifted the curtain and saw Dafu lying on the bed, shirtless, asleep. Lin Ruyu felt pain just looking at the old and new wounds on his soles and limbs.

She entered the house quietly, struggled to pick up the tub filled with dirty water and dirty clothes, and went out to wash clothes in the pouring rain.

After rescuing her mother and A Heng last night, Lin Ruyu saw that they were still wearing the same clothes as the day they were robbed, so she bought them two changes of clothes at the clothing store in Haolian Village. When she escaped from the boat this morning, she

I brought out a change of clothes. Dafu was also a good boy who was diligent and thrifty, so he also carried his baggage on his back.

Although the clothes were wet by the flood, they could be worn after being washed and dried. Lin Ruyu was very satisfied that her family had survived the monstrous flood and could still have clothes to change and a house to shelter from the rain.

Lin Ruyu set up a small fire in the open space of the kitchen, put the washed clothes and shoes on the firewood set up around the fire, and quickly dried them.

Then, Lin Ruyu used the pot lid as an umbrella, held it on her head and ran out to close the courtyard door and unbolt it, then ran back to the kitchen and closed the door with the pot lid on her head, untied the hair tie on her head, and cleaned her long hair in the kitchen.

The dirt on your hair and body.

After she cleaned herself up, her change of clothes was also dried. Putting on dry and warm clothes and holding a bowl of warm water, Lin Ruyu squinted her eyes in comfort.
