At this moment, Wu Juying also came to the lobby. She was carrying a bag of fresh fruit, pushed it to the isolation window, and said to a doctor who was wearing white inside: Please bring this fruit in for my two children to eat.
The doctor said: It's not necessary. During the isolation period, the patient has arrangements for everything he eats.
Wu Juying had no choice but to take down a net bag of fruits and stared into the window anxiously, but she could not see her two children. She then said to the doctor on duty at the window: Can you call my two children out and let me take a look?
no! The doctor answered with his hands behind his back.
I looked out the window and it was all I needed to see my two children. Wu Juying begged persistently.
well! Why can't you explain clearly? The doctor complained, turned around and said to Wu Juying: Do you understand this is an isolation area? If you want to see someone, you must get permission from the leader, change clothes, and wear a mask.
Wu Juying was about to go find the leader, but she saw Li Gui walking in circles in the hall and saying strange things to himself. The ghost of a dead bird was haunting the two children.
Wu Juying frowned, wondering if Li Gui had hunted too many birds and caused the two children to suffer from evil spirits?
At this time, she said goodbye to Li Gui with a bag of fruit in her hand, walked out of the hall by herself, walked through the bustling downtown, and walked straight towards Chenghuang Street. But when I arrived at Chenghuang Street, I asked many people, and they all said that there used to be a Chenghuang Temple here, but it was moved, and I don’t know where it was moved. Asking the young man why he couldn't figure it out, he planned to ask a mother-in-law who was holding a grandchild. The mother-in-law's forehead is like a pine cone, with many wrinkles, but her eyes are bright, making people feel that she is very smart.
Wu Juying approached her and said politely: Old man, I want to ask you something.
The mother-in-law put her grandson on the ground, turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
Let me ask you, where has the former Chenghuang Temple on this Chenghuang Street been moved?
We moved to the hillside south of the city. How come you didn’t know?
I haven't been there, so I don't know.
Wu Juying was very grateful to the mother-in-law, and found that her grandson was looking at the fruits in her net bag without blinking, so she took out two apples, handed them to the mother-in-law, and said, give them to your grandson!
Alas, no need! The mother-in-law was polite and took her grandson to leave. The grandson refused and said, "Grandma, I want to eat the apple." The mother-in-law didn't take the apple, so Wu Juying gave it to her grandson.
Thank you! The mother-in-law looked at Wu Juying and said.
Old man, I should thank you for telling me the address of the Chenghuang Temple.
Wu Juying left Chenghuang Street and came to a street in the south of the city. She looked towards a series of mountains not far ahead, but there were many houses dotted on the mountains, and she didn't know which house was the Chenghuang Temple. She asked strangers and pedestrians, but most of them didn't know. They also said that I'm not from here, so you should ask other people.
Wu Juying was a little disappointed, but she did not give up. She saw many people gathered in front of a store, and there was also an old woman with a cane. When she saw this old woman, she thought of the old woman on Chenghuang Street, which naturally increased her sense of trust.
Wu Juying leaned over and took out an apple from her net bag and handed it to her: "Old man, this is very sweet. Try it!"
The old woman glanced at her but didn't take the apple. She just said that my teeth were not good. Just as he was about to walk on crutches, he turned to her again and asked: "This young man, what do you want from me?"
One thing is like this. I asked many people but they didn’t know where the City God’s Temple is. I wonder if you know. If you know, please tell me.
oh! The old woman tapped her crutch on the ground, then raised her crutch and pointed at the crowd: Look, the man wearing a long robe and a bun on his head is Taoist Master Lin. He is preaching to people. Wait for him. After you finish speaking, wouldn’t it be clearer if you ask him again?
Wu Juying stepped forward and thrust the apple into the old woman's hand: Thank you.
The old woman still repeated the same sentence: My teeth are not good, you can keep it for yourself!
Then thank you. Wu Juying said politely, put the apple back into her net bag, approached the crowd, and became one of them. She focused her attention on Taoist Lin who was preaching.
Taoist priest Lin is tall and tall, handsome and handsome, with a kind face. He is teaching the good teachers in "The Jade Calendar" to everyone, praising the extremely virtuous practitioners mentioned in the book, and also talking about karma and retribution. case.
At that moment, Wu Juying was so excited that she got out from the crowd, carrying a bag of apples, and then knelt on her knees in front of Taoist Lin. Everyone was confused as to why this woman was like this.
Wu Juying kept claiming: Please ask Taoist Lin to help my child.
Taoist priest Lin said, "Get up and tell me. What happened to your child?"
Wu Juying stood up and handed him a bag of apples: Director Lin, I have nothing to thank you for.
Taoist priest Lin took the gift and put it down again, and said to her: "What's the matter?" Say it!
Wu Juying's voice suddenly became sad: My two children have contracted bird flu due to long-term eating of bird barbecue. Can they be saved? Lin Daochang.
Taoist priest Lin stroked his black beard and said to everyone: This is retribution.
Mr. Lin, I know this is retribution. I just want to ask you whether your two children can be saved?
Hard to say.
Taoist Lin picked up the apples in his net bag, took them out, and distributed them one by one to the listeners. In the end, they were all distributed, even to himself. Wu Juying said: I gave the apple to you.
Don’t you believe in cause and effect? It is better to give food to others than to give it to me. Doing good to others is good to yourself. Taoist priest Lin held the empty net bag in his hand and said that your two children have contracted bird flu. You should first repent and take action after repenting.
Mr. Lin, can you teach me how to repent? Wu Juying was extremely anxious and said that my two children were now quarantined in the hospital, and even if they wanted to repent, they would have no chance.
You are the child's mother and can repent on your child's behalf. Taoist priest Lin said with certainty.
Some onlookers were eating the apples distributed by Taoist Lin. Since it was sent by Wu Juying, the onlookers also expressed their gratitude to her. They said almost in unison: Director Lin, please teach this woman how to repent for her child!
good! I will teach her, but before things work out, I can only tell her privately and ask her to do it.
At that moment, Lin Daoren approached Wu Juying, bent his palms into a tube shape, leaned close to her ear and spoke with airflow. Wu Juying nodded and finally said: Director Lin, I will do it, thank you very much.
Wu Juying left and went directly back to the village. She found 10 bamboo fence workers and asked them to make 10 bird's nests in one day. She paid 5 yuan each.
The next day, 100 bird's nests were made, and Wu Juying also paid. He also invited 10 boys, each paying 5 yuan, to place their own 10 bird's nests on big trees in the forest. This process took another day. Wu Juying was led by 10 boys to the mountain to check one by one, and no one was missed.
The 10 boys were rewarded and went out of the mountain. Wu Juying knelt under the black locust tree where Li Gui had hunted the gray-winged bird. Sometimes she looked at the half-broken bird's nest above, and sometimes at the newly installed bird on it. Looking at the nest, I muttered silently: Gods of heaven, earth, mountains, trees, grasses, and birds, please bear witness. I am repenting for my husband who hunts birds, and my two children who are addicted to eating bird meat and barbecue. , please forgive them!
