The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 28 Busy
The thunderstorm changed from small to large, and there was no shelter from the rain on the mountain except this temple.Fang Jiayin coughed, "I came to this temple once in the spring, there are only two monks, an old and a young monk, they are very friendly people, I'm afraid I'm going out now."

Uncle Ma followed, "This is a temple, the Buddha saved all sentient beings, we are in trouble now, going in for a rest is not considered trespassing."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Ma turned his gaze to An Ziyuan who was being supported by two attendants, asking him to make a statement.An Ziyuan said gently, "It's okay to fall down here, but Mrs. Lin is seriously ill and can't get in the rain again. In spring, open the door, let's go in and ask the Buddha for trespassing."

Fang Shi, who had no strength to speak, nodded his thanks to everyone, An Fengchun drew a knife and cut off the lock, and pushed open the mountain gate.

This is a temple with two entrances inside and outside. The door of the main hall in the middle is open, and the hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves suffering.The hall is not spacious and tall, and the Avalokitesvara statue does not have a golden body, but the hall is clean and tidy, and it can be seen that the monks in the temple have not neglected Buddhist activities.

Seeing this statue of Avalokitesvara with benevolent brows and kind eyes, Lin Ruyu thought of the statue of Avalokitesvara in the ruined temple in Wusha Town.Wusha Town has been submerged by floods. I don't know if the ruined temple can withstand the impact of the floods.

Because of their embarrassment, everyone apologized and thanked the Bodhisattva outside the hall, and then began to look for a shelter to shelter from the rain.

There is a small courtyard on the left and right of the Guanyin Hall, and there is a small courtyard behind the hall. In the courtyard, two monks' clothes, one large and one small, are drying. It can be seen that this is the residence of two monks.

Shen Ge stepped forward and moved the bamboo pole on which the monk's clothes were hanging to the eaves.

Hypocrisy!An Ziyuan glanced at Shen Ge, put on a gentle smile, and said, "The two small courtyards on the left and right of the main hall should be fasting rooms. Mrs. Lin lives in the east courtyard, and we live in the west courtyard. What do you think?"

Although there are only four members of Mrs. Lin's family, there are two female relatives among them. It is very reasonable to monopolize one courtyard. The four of Fang Jiayin naturally have no objections.

Fang Shi and Lin Ruyu thanked everyone, and supported each other to the east courtyard.There are three main rooms in the east courtyard. Lin Ruyu helped her mother into the inner room of the main landlord, and found that there were two fairly spacious bamboo beds in the room.

Let mother and Ah Heng sit at the table to rest, Lin Ruyu braved the rain and went into the small kitchen near the west wall of the courtyard, intending to boil hot water for the family to drink and wash.

Although there is no firewood, rice, oil and salt in the small kitchen, there is an unrusted iron pot and two bundles of dry firewood.

As soon as Lin Ruyu put down the bamboo pot cover, Dafu walked in quickly with a bucket of clear water and a torch.

Lin Ruyu happily accepted the booklet, "Where did you find it?"

Lin Dafu, who was also in wet clothes and had muddy feet, replied, "Brother Shen gave it."

The flood happened [-] days early, if it wasn't for Shen Ge, the four of them would have been unable to escape the disaster.How lucky she was to meet Shen Ge in Wusha Town.

Lin Ruyu asked with a smile, "Can big brother know how to use fire?"

I am ashamed to say that when Lin Ruyu was in the Lin family in her last life, everything used in the boudoir was exquisite. Although she could recognize the things in the temple as fire pockets, she didn't know how to use them.

"En." Dafu, who is used to rough work, took the fire bag, put firewood and dead leaves into the stove, and lit the fire.

Lin Ruyu took off the cooking broom hanging on the wall, scrubbed the cauldron twice, poured clean water into it and heated it up, and then used a gourd with a big belly to cut it into two halves to scald and scald the two pieces of water found in the main room. Then put the hot water in the pot into the wooden pot, and then pour the clean water just brought by Dafu into the pot, "Brother, take this pot of hot water into Xili, mix it with cold water and wash your hair and body. Soak the dirty clothes in the basin, and I will take this basin of water to wash my mother and Aheng."

Dafu wanted to help Lin Ruyu carry the basin, but she stopped her, "I can carry it, brother, wash it up and rest, leave the rest to me."

Lim Tai Fook’s foot and limb injuries have not yet healed, and this morning he added several scratches. He resisted the flood on the poplar tree and rowed hard on the fishing boat. He was only 15 years old.

Now, it's your turn to take care of them.Lin Ruyu entered the house with a basin in her hand, and found that her mother had taken off the dirty clothes on little Ah Heng, and the little guy was snoring while sleeping under the quilt.

Seeing her daughter bring water in, Fang endured the dizziness, walked to the table, "Jiaojiao, mother will wash it for you."

Lin Ruyu put the heavy wooden basin on the ground, and said with a smile, "Daughter washes for mother first, mother has a head injury, if you don't wash it quickly and change the wet clothes, you will catch a cold and get high fever."

After these two catastrophes, her Jiaojiao grew up in a few days.Fang's eye circles were red, and he raised his cold hand to touch his daughter's warm face, but he didn't insist anymore.Because she really couldn't bear it anymore, she had to get better as soon as possible so that she could take good care of the two children and repay the kindness of the benefactors who saved their lives twice.

After washing and shampooing her mother, Lin Ruyu helped her dry her hair with a dry sheet and brought her a bowl of warm water.

Fang felt sorry for her daughter, so she let her drink half of the bowl first, and then drank the remaining half, "Okay, Jiaojiao, wash up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Lin Ruyu responded, "Mother, rest for a while, my daughter is going to fetch water."

Seeing her mother lying down, she fell asleep not long after. Lin Ruyu covered her with a quilt, touched Ah Heng's forehead, confirmed that he did not have a fever, then picked up the dirty clothes they had taken off, and walked out lightly. Inside, through the main room, asked in a low voice, "Brother?"

Hearing the sound of snoring in the room, Lin Ruyu raised the curtain to look, and saw Dafu lying on the bed naked and asleep.The old and new wounds on the soles of his feet and limbs made Lin Ruyu feel pain just looking at them.

She entered the house lightly, struggled to pick up the wooden basin full of dirty water and clothes, and went out of the house, braving the heavy rain, to wash clothes in the kitchen door.

After rescuing her mother and Ah Heng last night, Lin Ruyu saw that they were still wearing the same clothes as the day they were robbed, so she bought them two replacement clothes at the tailor shop in Hao Lianzhai.When she escaped from the boat this morning, she brought a change of clothes with her.Dafu is also a good boy who is diligent and thrifty, and he also carries his burden on his back.

Although the clothes were all wet by the flood, they could be worn after being washed and dried.The family survived the torrential flood, and they still had clothes and a house to shelter from the rain. Lin Ruyu was already very satisfied.

Lin Ruyu set up a small fire in the open space of the kitchen, put the washed clothes and shoes on the firewood set up around the fire, and quickly dried them.

Then, Lin Ruyu used the pot cover as an umbrella, put it on her head and ran out to close the courtyard door and unbolt it, then ran back to the kitchen with the pot cover on, closed the door, untied the hair tie on her head, and cleaned her long hair in the kitchen. muddy hair and body.

By the time she cleaned herself up, the change of clothes was dried.Putting on dry and warm clothes, holding a bowl of warm water, Lin Ruyu narrowed her eyes comfortably.

In the west courtyard, Shen Ge, who had been washed clean with cold water, came to An Ziyuan together with Fang Jiayin and Ma Sanshu.
