After returning home from Ma Ainiang's small courtyard, Feng Shi looked very preoccupied.Seeing his wife like this, Zhen Shiyin inevitably wanted to ask a question.

After much hesitation, Feng Shi still told her husband about getting warning from Buddha in her dream. "Layman Ma still hopes that we can deal with it in advance so as to avoid those disasters."

After hearing what his wife said, Zhen Shiyin couldn't help but think of the dream he had in the study a month ago.There is also the monk who met on the street holding his daughter that day.They asked themselves to give up their daughter, but they refused. The two of them also said, "I am used to being spoiled and laugh at you as an idiot. Linghuakong is facing the snow. Just in case after the festive Lantern Festival, it will be when the smoke disappears."

Back then, I felt that these words were strange, but now Madam's dream is in line with what happened before.It is still possible to prevent the loss of the daughter, but how to avoid the fire.

You know, apart from my own house adjacent to the Calabash Temple, every household on this street is closely connected with bamboo fences and wooden walls.Even if I moved out early, if it really caught fire, wouldn't it involve many innocent lives.

Zhen Shiyin was worried about this matter.I just want to remind you one or two things, it is still uncertain whether others believe it or not.What I am most afraid of is being said that I am cursing others.

In order to prevent that disaster, Zhen Shiyin confessed that his wife must take good care of his daughter, and specially asked two maids to take care of her daughter.He also repeatedly told me not to take my daughter to the street.

Then he led his servants to gather up some flammable belongings such as calligraphy and paintings.Then several large tanks for water storage were added in the yard.Many flammable objects such as fences and flowers and trees were removed.In the end, a lot of loess bricks and stones were piled up under the wall of the house to prevent the fire from spreading.

Afterwards, I felt uneasy when I thought of the neighbors of the whole street.Zhen Shiyin talked about the fire on the pretext of asking the presiding master of the Gourd Temple to criticize the dream.He said again and again that he and his wife both dreamed about the fire, and hoped that the temple could take precautions against it.

However, according to the practice of criticizing dreams, dreaming of a fire is a sign of prosperity and fortune.Although the host never imagined that there would be a fire in his temple.But I thought that Mr. Zhen kept mentioning the fire today, and the Qingtai layman from Beijing also mentioned the fire several times.Thinking about the reputation of that Qingtai Layman, he should not be aimless.

So the presiding master was also concerned about this matter, and he also alerted the monks in the Gourd Temple.He emphasized again and again to be careful of fire candles and fireworks on the kitchen stove.

The Zhen family celebrated the New Year with apprehension, and soon came the Lantern Festival.Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi guarded their daughter all day long and never left.

Unexpectedly, at night, Yinglian was crying and wanted to go out to watch the lanterns.Huo Qi, the servant at the side, also said: "Miss is crying so much, why don't you ask the little one to take her out for a walk. Master, don't worry, nothing will happen to you if you keep it."

Zhen Shiyin didn't know that it was Huo Qi who had lost his daughter. Seeing the crying daughter, he decided to ask her to go out to play for a while.

On the other hand, Feng Shi was thinking that Huo Qi lost his daughter on the night of Lantern Festival in his dream.How could he agree to hand over his daughter to him?

After all, Zhen Shiyin still felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't bear to see her cry, so she said, "Since Yinglian wants to go out to watch the lanterns, why don't you take our daughter with you, Ma'am. If you want to bring a few more people, it will be fine."

Seeing that her master had spoken, Feng only left two or three servants to watch the house, and brought almost all the rest of the servants with her.It's not until the daughter is protected tightly.

Zhen Shiyin knew his wife's worries, so he didn't say anything about it.Soon the family tidied up and went out to look at the lights.

The family was surrounded by the crowd, watching the social fire lanterns together, when they suddenly heard the sound of crying and heroism not far away.After inquiring, it turned out that a child had been lost, and their family members were anxiously looking for it.

The Zhen family couple was terribly frightened, and immediately hurried home with their daughter in their arms.

At this time, Ma Ainiang was in a small alley, standing in front of two men with big sacks on their shoulders.In fact, she was also afraid of wrong at this time, but she was even more afraid of the master's methods.So now even though her legs are a little weak, she still firmly stops those two people and doesn't tell them to leave.

"Seeing how you are dressed as a monk, I advise you not to meddle in your own business." One of the men said viciously.

"Amitabha! Good, good." Ma Daopo said boldly, "The benefactor should not do such evil things. You must know that the law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good. I advise the benefactor to put down the butcher's knife."

Soon I heard the sound of someone approaching not far away, and it must not be one or two people.The two gangsters couldn't help being anxious, so they tried to beat Ma Ainiang unconscious.

Even if Xu Li doesn't want to see Ma Ainiang anymore, she can't just watch someone hurt her.So he immediately attached a diamond talisman to her body.

The gangster's hand hit Ma Ainiang's body, and it felt as if it was directly hanging on the wall.It hurt so much that he shook his hands and cried out in pain.

The other person saw his companion like this, and wondered if there was something weird about this aunt.It's just that the voice behind is getting closer. In this narrow alley, if the aunt doesn't get out of the way, I really can't walk.So impatient, he saw a brick and threw it on Ma Ainiang's head.

In fact, Ma Ainiang was scared out of her wits when the first person hit her.Standing there did not dare to move.

But now she was hitting herself because of that person, and she didn't feel it at all. Instead, the scoundrel looked injured and wondered.I saw a brick hitting me head-on.

Immediately Ma Ainiang closed her eyes, and said to herself, "My life is over." After waiting for a long time, there was still no pain, but the villain fell to the ground in response.

Xu Li didn't care whether she was afraid or not, and urged her to quickly rescue the child from the sack.She was about to open the sack tremblingly when she saw a group of people carrying torches into the alley.

……

After returning to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, Ma Ainiang really slowed down for two days before she got over the fear.

It wasn't until the two families who almost lost their children came to thank her with rich gifts and beating gongs and drums that she completely recovered.

It is estimated that Ma Ainiang also knew the master's usual attitude towards these gifts, this time Xu Li didn't need to ask, she directly put on an attitude that she didn't care about money and wealth.

When she couldn't refuse again and again, she took the initiative to go to the village outside the city to give out porridge and medicine.It's not until the money that others rewarded her is spent.

Xu Li was very pleased to see Ma Ainiang like this, no matter whether she acted like this because of her own deterrence or what.Anyway, she now knows to take the initiative to do good, which is progress.

Therefore, Xu Li ignored Ma Ainiang's behavior of secretly leaving behind some cloth and a few strings of rosary beads, which were very valuable at first glance, in addition to some food.

According to Ma Ainiang's pissing nature, she will not forget to make a name for herself after doing this.As a result, her reputation in the Gusu area has gradually increased.Coupled with her original reputation in Beijing, even some officials and wealthy businessmen gradually came to visit her.

Not to mention how Ma Ainiang became famous in Gusu again.As far as the Zhen family and his wife are concerned, they can't stop being afraid.As long as she thinks that her only daughter might be abducted by that kidnapper, her heart aches.After that, I couldn't help but feel lucky again, thanks to the advice of the Qingtai layman, I was able to avoid the pain of being separated from my own family.

This first disaster has already come true, fortunately my family took precautions in advance and avoided it.Then the next big fire must be prepared.

Next, the servants of the Zhen family went door to door along the Renqing Lane where the Gourd Temple is located, reminding them to be careful about the fire.

These neighbors are also local residents and have settled here for many years.Never had any fires.Therefore, except for a few cautious families, most of them expressed their gratitude to the Zhen family's reminder on the surface, but they didn't take it seriously when they went back.There are even people who are waiting to whisper a word or two behind their backs.

Also in order to avoid the fire as much as possible, Xu Li did not restrain Ma Ainiang too severely this time, and did not ask her to associate with others.Therefore, when people from all over the neighborhood came to visit her and accidentally mentioned the Zhen family, she made it clear that she should guard against fires.

Although at that time she put on a look of talking, it was because of her fame that people around her believed her.

In fact, over the years, although Ma Ainiang was forced by Xu Li, she still copied and recited a lot of Buddhist classics.And although she still has a greedy and selfish nature in her heart, she has indeed done good deeds for many years.Although she was forced every time, she did do it herself.There are still some merits accumulated in him.

Therefore, even when she was fooling people outside, she really looked like a master of Taoism.It's just that Xu Li knows her very well, and when she looks at her, she is prejudiced, so she thinks she is talking about it.

Anyway, Ma Ainiang tried her best to promote the idea of ​​fire prevention.

Especially on March [-]th, Ma Ainiang went to the gourd temple early in order to stop the fire in advance.She really didn't want to be punished by the master.So she lingered in the temple all day, until there was a noise from the back kitchen, saying that there was a fire, she also immediately got up and rushed over.

If it weren't for her fighting the fire, she really wouldn't be afraid of death.But when she faced those two villains before, she was afraid that she would not react.After the end, she still understood that she was safe and sound after being attacked twice by gangsters. Needless to say, it must be the master who protected her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being filled with gratitude.Although the master is strict with himself on weekdays, he still protects himself after all.

So today, when the fire broke out, she rushed over immediately.

In the end, the fire was burning in the kitchen, where not only the firewood was piled up, but also the big pot of frying oil was just around the corner.Therefore, the fire was very fast and violent for a while.

Just when these monks were anxious to put out the fire, Zhen's family also rushed to put out the fire.They were well prepared before, and they kept calling people's attention to the movement here.To arrive in such a timely manner.

Now there are enough people to fight the fire, and the fire is discovered in time.In the end, the fire was contained in the temple and extinguished without spreading outside.

Although a lot of the kitchen, apse, and several quiet rooms in the backyard of the Calabash Temple were burned down this time, fortunately, the front hall and some houses in the front yard were preserved intact.

It is worth mentioning that this Qingtai layman not only fought the fire with him.Even in order to save a young novice monk, he did not hesitate to be caught in a sea of ​​fire.Although the Buddha blessed her, she was not injured, but she was thanked by the monks in the whole temple.

The local government office also heard about it.Knowing that this Layman Ma is the Layman Qingtai of Qingtai Nunnery who has been praised by the Holy Master himself, the magistrate dare not also praise him personally.I just prepared a thick thank you gift to express my gratitude.

Only then did Ma Ainiang breathe a sigh of relief that she had finally completed what the master had told her to do.Inevitably, his eyes began to shine again when he saw the thank-you gifts from the officials and neighbors who came to express their gratitude.

But soon she calmed down.He also entrusted all the collected money to Zhen Shiyin and his wife, asking them to use the money on their behalf to help the poor.

And she herself was wearing the imperial-given Haiqing, and went out to wander alone.
