The sun was about to set, and Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan reluctantly followed the crowd down the mountain. Returning to Fengmen Ao, I picked up the bamboo basket mountain herbal medicine and went straight to Houliang Village.
After returning to Lu Huilan's yard, Zhang Shaofei poured out the bamboo basket mountain herbs like last time and divided them into N portions according to the proportion of varieties.
Lu Huilan entered the room conspicuously and took out the Ganoderma lucidum, handed it to Zhang Shaofei, and said, "Brother Afei, how much of this Ganoderma lucidum is used as a medicine?"
Zhang Shaofei took the bag of Ganoderma lucidum, poured it on the ground, picked a red sandalwood-colored Ganoderma lucidum according to the proportion prescribed by the imperial doctor, and said to Lu Huilan: "Mei Alan, this is enough. Together with this mountain herb Take it to the kitchen and wash it with clean water. First put the Ganoderma lucidum into the clay pot and boil it over high heat. After boiling for about a quarter of an hour, boil it over a slow fire. After another quarter of an hour, put the washed mountain herb into the pot and use Let it simmer for a quarter of an hour and it’s done.”
Lu Huilan followed Zhang Shaofei's request and started to use detergents and pot washes. Zhang Shaofei gave serious instructions on the side, but she also had a different interest...
After Zhang Shaofei waited for Lu Huilan and her father to take the medicine, he chatted with Lu Xueru on the edge of the bed for a while. After talking about a pack of cigarettes, Lu Xueru said he wanted to get out of bed for a convenience. Before Zhang Shaofei could help him, he had already gotten out of bed and walked out of the room to use the toilet in the yard.
When Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan's mother met, they were overjoyed.
Zhang Shaofei happily walked into the kitchen and said to Lu Huilan who was cooking: "Alan sister, your dad can go to the toilet by himself! It seems that this Ganoderma lucidum is really effective!"
When Lu Huilan heard what Zhang Shaofei said, she was so happy that she threw away the fire stick in her hand, stood up, hugged Zhang Shaofei tightly, and said excitedly: "Brother Afei, thank you so much!"
Zhang Shaofei was unexpectedly hugged tightly by Lu Huilan. For a moment, the most primitive human love was activated...
He only felt the blood boiling all over his body, and his whole body felt like an electric shock. A wonderful feeling suddenly hit his whole body. He looked straight at Lu Huilan, swallowing his saliva, and his angular and handsome face suddenly turned red like Guan Gong. …
At this time, Lu Huilan was stared at by Zhang Shaofei's fiery eyes, and she also showed a flattering look. Her autumn-filled eyes were filled with the fire of love, and her pretty pink face flushed as red as a ripe peach... She just took the initiative to cater to and embrace her like this, unwilling to let go for a long time. Let your beloved do whatever you want, let fate do whatever you want! It wasn't until the firewood in the stove burned out of the stove door and reached their feet that they returned from the sea of love to their eyes...
Zhang Shaofei had dinner at Lu Huilan's house and saw that Lu Huilan's father was in great spirits, so he reluctantly stood up and said goodbye.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shaofei came to Lu Huilan's house and helped make medicine, doing this and that, just like a family.
For several days, Zhang Shaofei was like this every day.
It seems that Zhang Shaofei has forgotten Zhang Daocheng's words. At this time, Zhang Shaofei has fallen into the sea of love.
…
During this period, Wang Shaoxiang saw Zhang Shaofei always running to Lu Huilan's house when he had something to do. He would leave early and come back late. His face was radiant, as if he had found a treasure. From time to time, he would sing songs, and his behavior was a bit abnormal...
Wang Shaoxiang thought: Lu Huilan's father has recovered from his illness long ago and has gone to school to teach. Could it be Fei'er?
When Wang Shaoxiang thought of this, he pursed his lips and snickered, and murmured meaningfully: When men get married, when they get married, when they get married, they are inevitable stages in life that both men and women have to go through since ancient times. It seems that the Zhang family has something happy to do. Done, I have to save money quickly...
That night, as soon as Wang Shaoxiang saw Zhang Shaofei, he said: "Fei'er, there is no need to go to Alan tomorrow. Take this bag of fabric to the county town to explore the price. If the buyer pays one or two silver coins, you can sell it. "
"Auntie, why do you have to go tomorrow? Can't you do it in a few days?" Zhang Shaofei said reluctantly.
"Go if you are told. Why are there so many?" Wang Shaoxiang said in a strong tone without allowing any explanation.
"Okay, okay, okay, listen to grandma, I will go to the county town tomorrow to sell cloth and buy fragrant and crispy pancakes for grandma to eat." Seeing Wang Shaoxiang's strong attitude, Zhang Shaofei hurriedly changed his words to please his mother.
"Thank you for remembering your mother. Go to bed early and remember to sell cloth tomorrow." After Wang Shaoxiang finished speaking, he went into the room.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shaofei had breakfast, picked up the piece of cloth that Wang Shaoxiang packed in a cloth bag, and took it to Qiu County to sell it.
Entering the cloth and ready-made clothing market in the east of the city, Zhang Shaofei saw a stall owner selling ready-made clothes with a kind face, so he went up to her to inquire about the market.
Zhang Shaofei said to her politely: "Madam boss, I'm so sorry. I came from the countryside and want to sell this piece of fabric. I don't know where to sell it?"
The landlady was a kind-hearted person. Seeing that Zhang Shaofei was a talented person, smart and polite, she said, "You can sell it here."
With grateful eyes, Zhang Shaofei bowed to the landlady and said, "Bosswoman, will that hinder your business?"
"No, don't worry, just put it here." The proprietress said as she moved an empty space on the table where the ready-made clothes were displayed.
As soon as Zhang Shaofei took out the piece of fabric from the bag and put it on the table, the landlady's eyes lit up. She quickly picked up the piece of fabric and admired it carefully. She kept praising: "Good cloth, good cloth!"
The proprietress couldn't help but admire her, which attracted many merchants and passers-by to watch.
Among them, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper happened to be passing by. From a distance, he saw the piece of cloth held by the landlady, attracting many people to watch, and they couldn't help but walk towards it.
The shopkeeper's surname is Wang. His boss is in the cloth business. He and the proprietress of this stall are regular customers. When I arrived at the stall, after greeting the proprietress, I saw that this piece of silk was not silk and satin. It was more exquisite than silk and satin. When it comes to silk fabrics, it doesn't matter whether it's 3,721 or 3,721. The price is only 3 silver coins.
The proprietress looked at the shopkeeper coquettishly and said, "Shopkeeper Wang is really discerning. As soon as I put this on display, you bought it."
Shopkeeper Wang said jokingly: "This is business. Zheng Ye is quick and slow." After shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, he took the piece of cloth and left.
After Zhang Shaofei thanked the proprietress, he also went to the "Wangji Cake Shop" in the south of the city and bought two tempting pancakes.
The sun has risen to the middle of the sky, leaning lazily in the sky, watching the cotton-like white clouds drifting around under my feet.
Zhang Shaofei bought pancakes at the "Wangji Cake Shop" in the south of the city, bought a few kilograms of rice at the rice shop, and then walked home.
When he walked to the edge of the village on the south bank of the county seat, suddenly, a gray hare limped out of the grass in front of him and screamed, running desperately towards the hillside. Then, a fox with brown fur moved its hooves and chased after him.
Seeing that the injured hare was doomed, a feeling of compassion arose in Zhang Shaofei's heart. He held a bamboo pole for carrying firewood and chased up the hillside. When I reached the top of the slope, I saw that the fox had bitten the tail of the hare, making a shrill cry of struggle.
Zhang Shaofei rushed forward, shouted loudly, picked up a branch from the slope, and hit the fox hard.
The fox was startled, opened its mouth, and ran away quickly, into the bushes on the left, and escaped.
The hare looked back at its savior, then, dragging its injured body, jumped and escaped into the two-foot-high grass.
Zhang Shaofei went up to the top of the slope, and the mountain wind blew, and there seemed to be the sound of reading aloud. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance and saw lush trees on the mountain and birds singing happily. Amidst the forest, a gray tile roof was exposed.
"Where is this?" Curiosity drove Zhang Shaofei along the trail and up the mountain.
As soon as Zhang Shaofei got there, his life completely changed.
Passing through the woods, a temple suddenly came into view: the blue-gray walls were mottled by wind and rain, and a layer of dark green moss appeared at the foot of the wall.
This temple is called "Zenhui Temple". In recent years, there has been war and chaos, and the incense has not been popular. The temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and some places have become ruins.
Following the rising and falling sound of reading, Zhang Shaofei came to Chanhui Temple.
From outside the broken wall, he saw a middle-aged monk standing on the pulpit, holding a scripture and reciting.
He is the abbot of Zenhui Temple, and his name is Zen Master Huiming. He is not tall but stocky, with a beard about three inches long on his chin, and is wearing a gray tile-colored monk's robe.
In front of Zen Master Huiming were more than twenty monks sitting on shabby futons.
Zhang Shaofei felt strange. Then he stood outside the broken wall and listened carefully.
After Zen Master Huiming led his disciples to recite a Buddhist scripture, he turned to the monks and explained Buddhism: "Buddhism is divided into Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. Hinayana is about saving oneself. It does not care about the sufferings of all sentient beings in the world, and seeks to be alone. But Mahayana is about saving all sentient beings, and what it seeks is to benefit the world. Mahayana Buddhism was brought back by Sanzang in the Tang Dynasty when he traveled west to Tianzhu..."
After Zen Master Huiming explained a passage, he picked up the scriptures and asked his disciples to recite the scriptures after him.
Zen Master Huiming read to the scriptures: "This is what I heard. At that time, the Buddha was in the country of Savatthi, only in the Garden of Solitude, and with the great monks..."
Zen Master Huiming read a paragraph, and his disciples followed him.
…
Zhang Shaofei became interested in these scriptures. As he walked towards Taizhen Village, he recalled the scriptures that Zen Master Huiming taught his disciples to recite.
After returning home, Zhang Shaofei happily told Wang Shaoxiang the story of selling cloth, took out the three pieces of silver and pancakes and handed them to Wang Shaoxiang.
At night, after Zhang Shaofei took a shower, he lay on the bed and recalled the scriptures he heard at Chanhui Temple during the day, so he started reciting them alone, and the more he recited, the louder the sound became.
Wang Shaoxiang finished the chores at home and sat in the next room doing needlework.
At night in the mountain village, except for the occasional frog drum, it seems particularly quiet.
Suddenly, Wang Shaoxiang heard muttering intermittently.
"What is this sound?" Wang Shaoxiang listened carefully to identify it.
"...Buddha said: Subhuti, they are not sentient beings, they are not non-sentient beings. Why..."
Wang Shaoxiang finally recognized that it was the sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, and it came from Zhang Shaofei's room next door.
