But the good times did not last long, as a heavy rain in the village caused mud and rocks from the mountain to wash down the mountain, burying all the villagers and the village below."

At this point, the teacher wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with the corner of his clothes and continued: "Later, those who were lucky enough to survive in the village moved away. The temple was also destroyed by the mudslide, and no one came back. The monks in the temple

Those who left have passed away, and my master and I insist on staying here just to fulfill Mrs. Sang’s instructions."

Si Nan was a little sad when he heard this, but he couldn't help but be curious, "Why are you so insistent on fulfilling Mrs. Sang's instructions? You can definitely leave. This is a remote mountainous area, and it will take a long time to go down the mountain to buy things."

"

"Mrs. Sang is kind-hearted. Every time she passes by this temple, she comes to offer incense and donate money for sesame oil. After learning about the accident in our temple, she also immediately sent many items, quilts, food, etc. to our temple. If

If it weren't for Mrs. Sang, we might not be able to survive. Later, when the master passes away, I will stay here alone and wait for you."

Si Nan and others were also extremely moved when they heard this. In order to repay their kindness, they spent their whole lives. They looked at the jade pendant, then continued to bow deeply to their teacher, and then turned and left.

When passing by the hall, they saw Xiao Mingjue still beating the wooden fish obediently. They also bowed to Master Guanyin with their palms clasped together, and heard the master and father who were walking together looked at Mingjue and said: "Amitabha, dear donors, Xiao Ming

I thought he was an orphan I saw outside the temple. His parents left him outside the temple gate and left. I took him in, but I am too old and I am afraid that he will leave one day, so I also

I can't bear for him to stay in the mountain and suffer, so please take him down the mountain and find someone to take him in."

Si Nan looked at the cute little Mingjue and then at the senior teacher's father who couldn't bear it, and agreed: "Okay."

"Thank you all the donors."

"With a little effort..."

"I won't leave, Master, I won't leave, don't drive me away." Xiao Mingjue rushed out and hugged his master and shouted.

The teacher's father also had tears in his eyes: "Mingjue, you will only suffer hardship if you follow me."

Xiao Mingjue hugged his master tightly: "Master, please don't drive me away, please. It was master who saved Mingjue. Master, you are my only family. From now on, Mingjue will not be lazy, he will chant sutras and clean well."

In the courtyard, it’s too hard for the master to be alone.”

Youdao is a man who has tears in his eyes. Si Nan and others couldn't help wiping their tears when they saw this scene. Seeing Xiao Mingjue like this, they also persuaded him: "Master, you'd better leave Mingjue here so that I can do it for you."

A companion."

The teacher's father hugged Xiao Mingjue, wiped his tears, and nodded. Seeing this, Xiao Mingjue laughed happily. The old monk also laughed and knocked his head: "Since you are staying, go quickly.

Just recite sutras, don't be lazy."

"Yeah." Xiao Mingjue jumped happily and walked away.

After the teacher sent Si Nan and others to the gate of the temple, he said: "Amitabha, my donors have been sent here, so please go slowly."

Everyone also saluted and said goodbye. After walking a few steps, Si Nan thought of something, turned back, took out his purse, walked to the teacher who was about to close the door, and stuffed it into his arms: "Master, this silver
