Water Margin people

Chapter 14 A Night Talk with Master Lu

To Sun Lei's surprise, there are even dinners in the temple. Of course, these dinners are specially prepared for the pilgrims staying overnight and the fire worker Tutuo who work.That is to say, they do not eat after noon. After noon, monks can no longer eat, but can only drink clear water.

Sun Lei has no interest in vegetarian food. Vegetables and tofu, plus two steamed buns, less oil and less salt, have no taste at all. Sun Lei gave up after only two mouthfuls. His stomach really can't accept it.

Sun Lei glanced at the fire worker Toutuo who was working next to him. These people ate the same fast meal with great relish.

Sun Lei left the Zhaitang, and several monks watched all this with a smile.

Sun Lei didn't know that today's fasting meal was changed. Fireworker Toutuo was doing odd jobs in the monastery, so the fasting meal was naturally crude. Sun Lei was a guest stayed by Elder Zhizhen and helped Wenshu Monastery to restore its reputation. The wing room should be the treatment of a big pilgrim, and the vegetarian food will be much more delicate.

Generally, the pilgrims who can stay in the monastery and live in the side rooms are the big patrons of the monastery. Every time they come, the sesame oil money is indispensable. The specification of the vegetarian meal is the highest in the monastery, and even the elders are not often able to eat it.

It's only because Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen are good friends, which made the monks want to get rid of these "scourges" earlier, so the fasting meal was changed.

There was nothing to do in Mount Wutai at night. Except for some lights in the main hall, the rest of the side halls were pitch-black, and there were no lanterns along the walls of the corridors outside. Sun Lei went back to sleep directly in the wing.

"Brother! Brother!"

Sun Lei was in a drowsy sleep when he heard a broken voice shouting outside the door, and he knew it was Lu Zhishen.

Sun Lei fell asleep for a while, and couldn't sleep for a while after being woken up, so he got out of bed and opened the door. When he opened the door, he could see Lu Zhishen's big copper bell-like eyes.

"Didn't you sleep in the middle of the night?"

Sun Lei looked at the moon above his head, and said a little speechlessly, why is this midnight disturbing people's dreams.

"Isn't the Sa family thirsty, brother give the Sa family a drink of the spring water in the bi gourd."

Lu Zhishen walked into the wing with a smile, without seeing anyone outside.

"You're thirsty, don't you go back to the kitchen to drink water? How much water in the well is not enough for you to drink? If you want to drink, just say so."

Sun Lei took the wine gourd from the table and threw it to Lu Zhishen. This guy probably has been thinking about it since noon, and his addiction to alcohol is really serious.

"Hey, Sajia is just like this one."

Lu Zhishen stopped making excuses, admitted it frankly, unplugged the gourd, and started drinking wildly into his mouth.

"By the way, Master Lu, is there anything to eat here? I'm already hungry, and the vegetarian meal at night is too bad, I can't eat it."

Sun Lei rubbed his stomach, he didn't feel it when he ate just now, but now he felt hungry after sleeping.

"The vegetarian meal is definitely not delicious. It's gone now, so we have to wait until morning."

Lu Zhishen answered while drinking.

"Looks like I'd better go down the mountain early. Eating vegetarian every day is worse than going to jail!"

Sun Lei rolled his eyes, it was getting dark outside, and it would take several hours until breakfast time, if it was like that every day, Sun Lei felt that he would starve to death on the mountain soon.

"Brother, isn't this going to jail!"

Hearing Sun Lei's words, Lu Zhishen seemed to have found a confidant, and sat down next to Sun Lei, thinking that he was a majestic promoted officer, who used to drink and eat every day, even when he was hunted and fled. There is wine and meat.After going up the mountain and leaving the house, there is no need to run away in fear, but the mouth and stomach will suffer.

"I'm surprised, you can't do without meat and wine, why did you become a monk?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen suspiciously. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a monk. He doesn't abide by the rules and regulations, and he thinks about drinking and eating meat every day. He is similar to Jigong, but he is a reckless and violent version of Jigong.

"Hey, I beat Zheng Tu to death in Weizhou. I hid in Tibet all the way. I ran all over the five roads in Guanxi and still couldn't escape the pursuit of the government. Until I fled to Yanmen County in Daizhou, the street was still there. Luckily, the arrest document of the Sa family met the old man Jin and Yuanwai Zhao. The public pursued him closely, and the Sa family had nowhere to escape. Yuanwai Zhao said that he and Tanyue from Wenshu Monastery could make the Sa family become a monk. The Sa family thought about it. Anyway, there is nowhere to escape, so why not just leave home to escape, then you will go to Mount Wutai and become a monk.”

"Brother, I don't know. It's really uncomfortable to be hunted down and hide in Tibet. When the Sajia hunted down the thieves, I thought the thieves were the same."

Lu Zhishen took a sip of the wine and said a little lonely, thinking that he, the governor of Weizhou, is also very prestigious in the local area, and he became a prisoner in a blink of an eye.

"Master Lu, do you regret it?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen, who was a bit lonely, and suddenly changed from a public official to a fugitive hiding in Tibet. This is indeed a big gap. It is not easy to be an official in this era, especially Lu Zhishen, who does not know a big character. the reckless man.

"Regret? The Sa family never regrets doing things! Let the Sa family meet again, and I will still kill Zheng Tu!"

Lu Zhi took a deep gulp of wine and said firmly.

"Then why don't you find a mountain to occupy the mountain and become the king? How about we go now, you will be the great king, and I will be the second king, howling against the mountains and forests, drinking heavily, and eating large pieces of meat, wouldn't you be happy?"

Sun Lei immediately said to Lu Zhishen that the first step in the rebellion was to form cliques, and Lu Zhishen was the first "accomplice" that Sun Lei fell in love with!
Lu Zhishen was so overwhelmed by Sun Lei's words that he forgot to drink, looked around at Sun Lei before asking.

"Brother, tell me, what kind of crime did you commit to beheading? Why is it that you go up the mountain and fall grass? Once you fall grass, it is a capital crime of beheading, which is much more serious than me who committed a murder case. I like this People who are caught in homicide cases are most likely to have their spines stabbed with gold seals on their faces, and then they will be sent to the far evil military state."

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei suspiciously, and now he was sure that Sun Lei had also committed a major crime.

"Brother, I will show you a clear path. I will ask the elders tomorrow to shave you and become a monk, so you don't have to be afraid of being wanted by the court."

Seeing that Sun Lei just rolled his eyes and was unwilling to say anything, Lu Zhishen persuaded him earnestly.

"Stop, stop! Who said I committed a crime, I just thought it was handsome, don't you think? Isn't it refreshing to gather mountains and forests, hoe the strong and help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor! It's much better than being a monk, Besides, I didn’t say that I want to be a monk, and I’m not used to eating vegetables and radishes every day! I’d better go down the mountain tomorrow to find some meat.”

Sun Lei interrupted Lu Zhishen. He didn't want to be a monk on the mountain. Although the Monkey King finally converted to Buddhism, he was forced to do so. Sun Lei couldn't bear the boring life of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha with radish and cabbage.

"Brother, you said that the Sa family is also hungry, don't forget to bring some more for the Sa family, why is this spring water so undrinkable, it is gone in just a few mouthfuls! Brother, bring more spring water up the mountain, definitely Bring more!"

When it came to wine and meat, Lu Zhi became interested and told Sun Lei seriously that he still had to copy the scriptures to make sure that he would not be able to go down the mountain in the future, so Sun Lei could only bring some wine and meat up, and he repeatedly emphasized that there must be more.

"Damn it, you're done drinking now, I haven't had a sip yet!"

Sun Lei glared at Lu Zhishen who was holding the wine gourd and fell down, and this guy didn't let go of the last drop.
