But then again, in which period did people really live a happy life?
Most of it is just joy in suffering.
Su Wu could probably understand why this master was unwilling to ask the local villagers to borrow even a pair of bedding, because borrowing a pair of bedding would cause a whole family to freeze in the cold night.
Replace the master with him,
He couldn't open his mouth either.
Sitting in the corner, Su Wu was lost in thought for a moment.
With his current physique, even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, he won't feel tired at all.
——Before obtaining the ‘Dragon Elephant Bodhi’ mantra seal,
Although his body is stronger than ordinary people,
But it is still within the scope of normal creatures.
Being strong makes you strong, but you still need to eat, drink and sleep.
After obtaining the Dragon Elephant Bodhi Curse Seal, the curse seal was incorporated into his own origin, and began to gradually allow Su Wu's body to develop to a level beyond that of ordinary living beings. Now, even if he does not rely on the two great Kalachakra Secret Mantras,
Living within the Kalachakra Mandala,
You can also achieve fasting for three to five days by yourself!
Su Wu came back to his senses,
Looking up,
He saw two pairs of bright eyes in the mattress, still looking at him timidly,
The mute girl was still half-covered by the quilt, curled up tightly, and shivering slightly from the cold.
"Sleep, sleep.
The master will come over to see me later, so I just told him." Su Wu walked over, asked the little boy to move to the middle of the mattress, covered the mute girl with a quilt, and tucked the corners of the quilt.
Looking at the two timid faces, he smiled and asked: "Do you have your own name?"
"My name is Gou Sheng!"
The little boy said, touching the mute girl next to him: "Her name is Mute!"
"..."
"After two or three days,
Master will also give you names,
You will also have your own real names by then." Su Wu spoke up after being silent for a moment.
"oh."
No matter whether it is a little boy or a mute girl, they are not keen on choosing a name.
They don't care what others call them,
If it's a title, it can help you eat one more meal.
Then they will become enthusiastic about this title.
After some conversation,
The two children were finally not so scared.
He curled up in the tattered mattress and fell asleep.
Su Wu sat back in the corner of the temple,
He also closed his eyes and rested.
When I wake up again,
It's already dark outside.
He was covered with the tattered quilt.
The two boys are no longer in the temple.
He looked at the lice and fleas crawling around in the cotton wool with some speechlessness. He stood up and lifted the quilt, and skillfully killed a few lice that had climbed up on his neck.
He turned and left the temple gate.
outside the bamboo forest,
The sound of the master banging the firewood pot was very lively.
Waves of aroma came from that side.
Su Wu walked through the bamboo forest,
On that flat piece of open space,
Sure enough, I saw the master waving a spatula,
Dog meat is being fried.
——While passing by the bamboo forest, Su Wu had already discovered that the two front legs of the dog in the forest were missing, leaving only a trunk hanging in the bamboo forest.
Two little boys were sitting next to a wood stove cooking vegetables.
The mute girl brought firewood from afar,
The little boy filled the stove hole with firewood.
The fire burns more and more fiercely,
The fat old man just immersed himself in stir-frying the dishes.
Without raising his head, he said to the second boy: "Go alone and call your brother up. It's time to eat!"
"Yes!" the little boy responded quickly, stood up from the pony, and
When he turned around, he saw a thin young man, Su Wu, walking towards him.
"elder brother!"
The little boy greeted quickly.
The mute girl also stopped what she was doing, looked at Su Wu, and then went back to moving the firewood.
Hearing the little boy's greeting, Li Yueshan raised his head and glanced at Su Wu: "Look at your dazzled look. Go wash your face and come over for dinner!"
"..."
Su Wu didn't feel that he was "obsessed with the sun".
But since Master said this,
It’s not easy for him to refute,
Then he went to the bucket next to the open space, scooped up a ladle of water, and washed his face.
Beside the firewood stove,
Master served four bowls of rice,
Spread steaming dog meat on top,
In the bowl in front of him, the rice was all sticking out. There were only two or three thin pieces of meat and some vegetable soup fat.
The four people lined up in order with Li Yueshan at the front, followed by Su Wu, the little boy, and the mute girl, and sat down.
They all picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
It doesn't matter who moves the chopsticks first and who moves the chopsticks last.
before meals,
Li Yueshan lit the pipe pot as usual,
Suck the cigarette holder,
Watching the three children gorge themselves,
The eyes are satisfied,
A little sad again.
There is a saying that "a half-grown boy will eat me to death." What's more, now Li Yueshan has to raise not only one and a half grown-ups, but also two boys with equally large appetites?
He rubbed his chest,
He pressed his palm against something hard on his chest.
It was a jade Buddha that his master and his wife gave him before she died.
'You should still be able to sell it for some money...'
After touching this jade Buddha, Li Yueshan felt at ease.
Smoking half a pack of cigarettes,
eat a bowl of rice,
Smoking after a meal.
Bata, bah,
Swallowing clouds and puffing smoke,
The smoke obscured his face,
He looked hesitantly at Su Wu who was going to wash the dishes, and then at the two "Little Doudings" who were busy moving the benches. He hesitated for a long time, until he saw Su Wu walking over and sitting down.
The master then made up his mind: "...Wu?"
"Hmm? Yeah!" Su Wu nodded.
"tonight,
Otherwise, why don't you go for another run?
Take this little guy with you." He pointed at the little boy and then at the mute girl and said, "The little girl is timid and may do bad things. You take him to deliver rice tonight so that this little guy can get familiar with her.
Little girl, just stay here and help me light the fire."
Before Su Wu could speak,
The fat old man's eyes were full of apologies: "Logically speaking, you went there last night, and it wasn't your turn tonight - but who makes you older than them and have the experience of running errands again?
You take him with you,
He can..."
Li Yueshan and Su Wu whispered: "His chance of survival is always higher."
Then, he added: "When you come back this time,
Master, I will officially name you as senior brother!
From now on, you will be the senior brother of our Yinxi lineage!"
I can tell,
The fat old man was also very confused,
I was not willing to let Su Wu take risks anymore.
But I feel sorry for the two little beans.
"Master..."
"ah?"
"I can go alone tonight as usual."
"That won't work, that won't work!
Children must exercise. Our Kitchen God Sect cannot develop only by relying on one lineage.
Take him with you, take him with you!"
Seeing that the master insisted on this, Su Wu nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will take this child with me."
"Very good, very good."
The fat old man grinned,
He coughed violently a few more times.
…
As the first watch approaches,
Su Wu and the little boy were ready to go.
Master Li Yueshan told the little boy over and over again: "Follow your senior brother. He will know the way to go after he has passed by once. Just follow him. Look for this person. The others will be your dead biological father."
Mom climbed out and asked you to follow them,
You pretended not to see it!
Do you remember it?"
"Remember!" Although the little boy was a little scared when doing something for the first time, he was more curious and eager to try.
"right,
Do not be afraid,
If you are afraid of trickery, trickery will eat you.
You are not afraid of tricks,
able to calm down,
Then you can always find a way to control the trick!" Looking at the look on the little boy's face, Li Yueshan smiled - he doesn't look like a timid person, although he is not as precious as the big disciple.
But it’s not bad!
He checked the food basket Su Wu was carrying again.
He patted Su Wu on the shoulder: "Come back tomorrow morning, master will stew a chicken for you to eat!"
"chicken?
Where did it come from?" Su Wu asked the master with a smile.
The little boy next to him also had bright eyes.
"Hey hey hey..."
Master smiled proudly,
He turned around and pulled open a cloth bag from under a square table.
He took out a fat pheasant with its claws and wings tied up, and it kept poking its head.
"How about it?
Ha ha!
Master caught it in the wild forest in the south while you were sleeping!" The fat old man burst into laughter.
Su Wu also had a smile on his face: "Master, you don't rest day and night.
