sheepskin for melon

"what!"

The neat and clear chant came from the flat ground behind the hall in bursts.

Since Chili became the abbot of Erfa Temple, the daily study of Buddhism has gradually turned into cultural lessons and exercises, and his morality, intelligence, physical beauty have been developed in an all-round way.

The cultural courses taught are different from those generally popular in the Yong Dynasty. They are mostly professional knowledge of cashiers and accountants. After all, he doesn't want these monks to take the imperial examination, but just wants them to work for him.

The monks in this temple are firmly tied to the temple, and they are ready-made reserve executives. He is going to make these people more professional, let these core personnel lead the peripheral personnel, and spread the booth bigger and bigger.

As for physical exercise, it was very necessary in ancient times. After all, ancient times was a place where it was very necessary to convince people with "reason".

It's just that learning boxing kung fu consumes a lot of calories, and it's not good to be a vegetarian all the time, so Chi Li went to ask Elder Yuanku for instructions. If he improves the food in the dining hall, adding a little meat and protein, does he have any objections?

Master Yuanku: ...

Although the Yong Dynasty did not prohibit monks from eating meat and marrying wives and concubines, it was just not prohibited, which did not mean encouragement. The truly virtuous monks also abided by the rules and regulations.

Isn't it a bit too much for a monk like Chi Li to relapse collectively with a monastery?There are no monks in a temple, but no ascetics. Is this reasonable?

It was the first time Master Yuanku knew what it was like to be speechless after living such an old age.

But since the new abbot took office, he has been doing business while helping the poor. He has also taken in a large number of refugees and orphans who cannot make a living, taught them how to make a living, and taught them to be humble and loving.

In a short period of time, the good deeds and the people he has crossed are innumerable. Perhaps the "human way" of the eminent monk crossing the river is the real way to help the world.

So Master Yuanku finally just recited the Buddha's name and let the abbot decide on his own. He himself is still going to persevere in penance. After all, Efa Temple can't have no serious monks!

Since then, a lot of meat and vegetables have been added to the dining hall of Erfa Temple. You have to ask those monks what they think, because they shave their heads and become monks because they can’t survive. , I don’t want to become a Buddha, I just want to eat meat.

Because of this new policy, Chi Li's status in the hearts of the monks in Efa Temple has suddenly become as high as that of the Buddha, which is better than any tricks to buy people's hearts, which no one expected.

Behind the adult monks punching and kicking, there were some "boy scouts" who followed suit with childish voices.

In ancient times, abandoned babies and orphans were definitely a common problem. Anyway, the cost of raising children in ancient times was not high. Chi Li was sent to the mountain after being seen by his subordinates. He works.

These white children are easier to teach than those adults. The development of Erfa Temple is getting bigger and bigger, requiring a lot of smart labor. These children will be the backbone of Erfa Temple in the future.

Lu Meiren's eldest son, Hui Rensheng, is tall and burly, so he naturally became the leader of this group of children, leading the group of children to practice every day.

Although he is only 13 years old, he looks like 33, older than his master Tan Yushu. Those children are very afraid of him, very obedient, and do whatever they ask. Huiren really doesn't know whether he should laugh...

Forget it, that's it.

Children in ancient times were not like today's children. They were exposed to an explosion of information since they were young, especially those children from poor families who were abandoned. Most of them were a bit stupid.

It was hard to teach this group of children to be uniform, and today the formation is messed up again.

Usually, the practice in the temple is basic boxing and legwork, to exercise the strength of the arms and waist and abdominal muscles. In order to have momentum, every time you punch, you have to make a loud "ha".

And after everyone finished "ha", there was always a soft voice, a slow "ha".

Huiren slowly shifted his gaze to the misfit in the team, and saw that he was dressed in a suit, which was obviously much more luxurious than the ordinary children around him, and he looked like the young master of a rich family.

Every time someone punches, he has to react blankly for a long time, and then slowly punches, and when someone kicks, he also kicks blankly, and then stumbles on the ground with a "pop" sound. on the ground.

Huiren: ...

puff--

But I can't laugh, this is Master's little nephew, I asked him to take good care of it before I came here, so I quickly stepped forward, lifted him up, patted the dirt on my body, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt from the fall?"

Li Ying let him pat his body, and it took him a long time before he said expressionlessly, "Thank you, Uncle."

Huiren: ...

"I'm not an uncle... I'm only six years older than you..."

Li Ying glanced at him, thought for a while, then raised her head: "I don't believe it."

Huiren: ...

How can you not believe it!

When he was doubtful about life, Hui Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, and jumped out to speak for his brother: "My brother is not lying, what he said is true!"

Li Ying glanced at him, turned his head expressionlessly, and ignored him.

Hui Xiao saw that he was ignoring others, so she curled her mouth: "Ah, brother, he bullies people!"

Huiren: ...

Why are you still crying!

Crying is contagious, especially when a group of children are together, everyone immediately cries together.

Chi Li and Tan Yushu watched from the side, speechless.

Then Chi Li sneered: "Look at your nephew and apprentice, none of them are worry-free."

Tan Yushu was embarrassed, like hey, but——

"Brother Chi, that's yours too."

If it was before, Chi Li would have denied it immediately, but since Tan Yushu confessed to him, Chi Li softened involuntarily, and in the end he just snorted coldly, did not say anything else, and acquiesced.

Tan Yushu couldn't help laughing immediately, brother Chi is really cute!

Leaning towards Chi Li: "Brother Chi, what should we do now?"

Chi Li folded his arms and said expressionlessly: "Of course I let them solve it by themselves. It's the worst thing for an adult to intervene in a fight between children."

So as soon as Li Ying came, he and Hui Xiao got into a fight.

On the dining table, the brightly red scrambled eggs with tomatoes are the children's favorite. As soon as they come up, they are eager to grab them with their chopsticks.

Hui Xiao moved quickly, and quickly picked up a piece of tomato and egg. Li Ying was slow to react, and when he stretched out his chopsticks, they were already gone. Hui Xiao looked at Li Ying proudly.

Li Ying held up the chopsticks in a daze, Hui Ren couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him the eggs in the bowl, Li Ying slowly took back the chopsticks, and thanked: "Thank you, Uncle."

Huiren: ...

He is really not an uncle!

Hui Xiao was feeling proud, when he saw his elder brother pick up an egg for his enemy, curled his lips, and burst into tears again.

Huiren: ...

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll give you this persimmon, okay!"

"I don't want it! You are all bad people, woo woo woo!"

So he brought them along, and the dining hall was full of crying again, and the culprit, Li Ying, was holding the vegetables in his mouth unmoved, and it was Huiren who hurriedly coaxed each other.

Tan Yushu watched secretly from the side, and slowly turned to Chili: "Is it really okay? But Huiren brings two bear children, it looks so pitiful..."

Pond: ...

Why are children so troublesome?

In order to prevent the two from continuing to fight, Chi Li made a wise decision to let Li Ying and Hui Xiao sleep together to establish a friendly and harmonious relationship.

After knowing the news, Hui Xiao cried again, but in the end, he hugged the quilt aggrievedly and lived with the "enemy".

Once in the room, he snorted angrily, "You are not allowed to talk to me!"

Li Ying glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her head without saying a word, playing with her own fingers.

Hui Xiao, who was ignored, twitched the corner of her mouth, and began to cry again.

Outside the house, Chi Li and Tan Yushu squatted under the window with cats on their backs, and each stretched out a finger to poke a hole in the window paper.

Tan Yushu whispered: "Brother Chi, is your idea really reliable? What if they fight?"

Chi Li snorted coldly: "Those two bastards, a little idiot and a big crying bag, do they look like they're going to fight?"

"The abbot is right."

Chi Li pinched Tan Yushu's face triumphantly: "Just know!"

Tan Yushu: ...

Brother Chi, it wasn't him who spoke just now...

Chi Li squeezed and squeezed, but also realized that something was wrong. When he turned his head, he saw Kong Wu's powerful Huiren squatting on the other side of him, watching him pinch Tan Yushu's face with a dazed expression.

Pond: ...

A slap on Tan Yushu's face: "Mosquito."

Tan Yushu immediately cooperated: "Wow, really, what a big mosquito!"

Huiren looked confused, and said weakly: "But abbot, don't monks don't kill?"

Chi Li turned to look at Tan Yushu, can't mosquitoes be killed?

Tan Yushu: ...

As if hey, he immediately raised his hand to look at the void: "Oh, it's flying again! The master must have used the merciful palm, first knocking out the mosquito with the wind of the palm, and waiting for a while without any damage, so as to prevent it from hurting people and sucking blood. , and spared his life again, how wonderful it is!"

Huiren's eyes widened slowly, there is such a miraculous palm technique in the world, it turns out that the abbot is also an unborn martial arts master!

With an excited expression on his face, he wanted to apprentice, but Chi Li covered his mouth: "What are you doing here?"

Huiren blinked, Chi Li put down his hands, and rubbed Tan Yushu's body. Why does a 13-year-old child grow a beard?

Seeing his skillful movements, Tan Yushu fell into silence, why use his clothes to wipe?

On the other side, the innocent Huiren didn't notice the dog Swinging between them, and whispered: "I'm a little worried, so I came here to have a look."

Chi Li looked at him numbly with a dead face. Is it really reasonable to match a burly man with a "male mother" personality?

With this outsider, Chi Li and Tan Yushu had no choice but to be honest, staring at the window hole with a look of lovelessness.

After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the room were finally turned off. Tan Yushu put one ear close to him and listened carefully. After a while, he heard the breathing inside calm down, so he nodded to Chili.

Chi Li took out something from behind and stood up abruptly. Huiren was in a daze, when he saw his master stand up, took out a set of various tools from his arms, and pried open the door in two or three strokes.

Huiren: ...

His master seems to be a scholar too, why is he so skilled at sliding doors and picking locks!

Tan Yushu: ...

Good student, don't look at it that way, your master just loves to study.

When he was in Qingzhou, there was a mixed bag of good and bad in the garrison. Of course, there were also small thieves who "eat just the right ones."

The door opened a crack quietly, and the two people shone the light down and walked in quietly.

Huiren was stunned, what is this for?

Immediately followed, the abbot raised the object in his hand, and under the dim light, it showed that it was a kettle.

Puzzled, the abbot tiptoedly lifted the teapot and poured it quietly on their mattresses.

Huiren: ...?

Feeling a little uncomfortable from being wet, Li Ying who was sleeping outside turned over, and a group of people hurriedly retreated.

Tan Yushu quickly restored the door lock to its original state, then ran to the side of the house with his long legs, poking his head to see what was going on outside.

Huiren followed with a dazed expression on his face. Who could tell him what these two serious-looking adults were doing?

Chi Li and Tan Yushu leaned up and down at the corner of the wall to watch, while Huiren stood behind them watching with a dazed face, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear what they wanted, so the two could only shrink back listlessly .

The three squatted in the corner, staring at each other, gradually tired, and dozed off.

Until the next day, a scream woke everyone up.

Chi Li and Tan Yushu suddenly woke up with a jolt, Chi Li leaned on Tan Yushu's back, and the two of them looked out together.

Huiren: ...

It turns out that everything yesterday was really not a dream...

In the room, Hui Xiao looked at the wet mattress under him in horror. Could it be that this situation is...

With a curl of his mouth, he burst into tears.

Slowly, Li Ying also felt the strangeness under her body, got out of bed calmly, and then looked at the bed in doubt. If it was bedwetting, why is this water mark so strange?

Turning his head and looking elsewhere, there are a few drops of dust on the ground that are very different from the surrounding ones, like the traces of water droplets, and there are some messy footprints beside them, which are the footprints of adults. Follow the traces to the door, and there seems to be a new one on the latch. scars.

Going to another place, there are three holes on the window paper, Li Ying slowly stretched out his finger to poke a hole beside it, blinked his eyes, and concluded that these three holes were poked in from the outside .

Li Ying said slowly: "Last night, three monsters entered our room."

Hui Xiao was so sad because of the bed-wetting incident, hiccupped when he heard this, and soon cried even harder: "I'm going to tell my brother! You're scaring me!"

"Not to scare you, we didn't wet the bed at all, it was the monster."

Hui Xiao hiccupped again: "Really?"

Li Ying said blankly, "The pants are dry."

Hui Xiao was taken aback, and quickly realized that the two of them had a conflict yesterday, so they didn't take off their clothes to sleep. If they really wet the bed, their pants would definitely be wet first, but now only the outside is wet, not the inside. It's really a monster peeing. !

But soon, Hui Xiao started crying again: "But others won't believe it, you will be laughed at when drying the quilt."

Liying: ...

"Then you say I peed."

Hui Xiao hiccupped again, and looked at him in a daze: "Why...why..."

Li Ying said slowly, "I'm not afraid of laughing."

Hui Xiao opened his mouth wide, at that moment, the guy who was hated at first suddenly became radiant.

The door opened suddenly, and Chi Li and Tan Yushu stood up all of a sudden, leaning against the wall in a serious manner.

Hui Xiao and Li Ying slowly walked over with the quilt in their arms, seeing them, Hui Xiao's face flushed immediately, and he pulled Li Ying to run quickly.

One inattentive, Li Ying fell to the ground, Hui Xiao saw it, immediately stopped and pulled him up, blushing and said: "A man should do things while the other should, so I won't push everything on you."

For some reason, Li Ying was full of tears, and Hui Xiao suddenly became nervous: "Why are you crying? Did you hurt from the fall?"

Li Ying's eyes were clouded with tears, and the three monsters turned into Uncle Thirteen, Hua Hua, and Uncle Kindness!Huixiao can't see them, only he can see them, it's scary!

……

Huiren was watching the two children walk past him, but his younger brother didn't even look at him, and just ran with Li Ying. How could their relationship become so good overnight?

Chi Li stretched his waist, walked over with Tan Yushu shoulder to shoulder in a decadent manner, and said listlessly: "Let me just say, the friendship that has wet the bed together is the strongest."

"Brother Chi has such a deep understanding, did he wet the bed when he was a child?"

"Fart! I don't wet the bed!"

"I was wrong... I was wrong..."

"Hmph, my arms are sore!"

"Brother Chi, shall I rub it for you?"

"It's sour here too!"

"Come here!"

……

Huiren stood alone on the spot, looking at the distant figure...

Is there something wrong?
