Yu Jun

Chapter 3

Wu Jin watched the two brothers and sister go away, breathed a sigh of relief, rushed to Xuezhai for class, ran home after class to take care of her father, and went to sell cakes at night.

The pain and high fever tormented Wu's father, causing him to lose weight in a short period of time. Wu Jin went back and forth at school, home, and Yuhua Street, and quickly lost weight.

On February [-]th, Xiongshan Temple sent a letter, asking Wu's family to settle wages and compensation.

The family couldn't live without anyone, and her younger brother couldn't walk that far, so Wu Jin took nineteen days off, wearing short brown cloth shoes, a warm shirt, and two baskets of pancakes, and went out before dawn. Selling cakes along the road, leaving the state capital, going north along the Yuxi River, walking for more than half a day, and arriving at Xiongshi Gorge at noon.

Today happened to be the birthday of Avalokitesvara, and many pilgrims from Xiongshan Temple traveled here without hesitation, and bought all the cakes left by Wu Jin.

Wu Jin picked up an empty basket and carefully walked sideways along the path beside the East Cliff until he reached the gate of Xiongshan Temple. He put down the basket on his shoulder, washed his face and hands with running water, patted the dust off his clothes, and took off his dusty turban. Entering the mountain gate, I first heard a burst of noise, followed the sound, and saw the little girl named "Ah Kuo".

Ah Yao took a stone and knocked on the red stone on the rock wall, and touched it curiously, but none of his entourage, companion, or elder brother was seen.

She was wearing a gray jacket, with two ordinary buns tied with a red string, and the gold collar was hidden in the skirt, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of nobility, which was very eye-catching.

Wu Jin thought that her elder brother should be nearby, so she lowered her head slightly, and wanted to enter the mountain gate, but she saw the grandmother Huang from Shishi Street rushing up with a bag of dates, and stopped in front of Ah Yao.

"The old man is bold, why did the little girl come to worship Guanyin alone? Where is your family? Are you hungry? Come and eat a jujube."

Seeing that Ah Yao was really looking at Zaozi on tiptoe, Wu Jin didn't feel the slightest bit defensive, and quickly shouted: "Ah Yao!"

Ah Yao's eyes turned from the jujube and landed on Wu Jin, and she grinned with white teeth: "Wu Jin."

Wu Jin picked up the empty basket and stepped forward, squeezing between Huang Po and Ah Yao: "Grandma, are you here to worship Bodhisattva today?"

The old lady Huang gave Wu Jin a deadly look: "Brother Jin, do you recognize this young lady?"

Such a good daughter would be a big fortune wherever she sold it, but she was disturbed by Wu Jin.

Wu Jin nodded: "Yes, I'm about to send her off."

Huang Yapo said sharply: "As expected of a student in the state school, I know such a rich and noble family, my brother will get rich in the future, don't forget the poor neighbors."

She still had a stomach full of harsh things to say, but Wu Jin was full of uprightness, and the obscene words were scattered, and the dirty words were scattered. It was useless to say anything, so she shut her mouth embarrassingly, and went elsewhere.

Seeing her walking away, Wu Jin turned around and asked Ah Yao, "Where is your brother? I'll take you there."

Ah Yao proudly raised her two long eyebrows: "Brother is at home, I came here on a donkey myself."

Seeing her beaming face, Wu Jin secretly thought it was not good, she might have sneaked out, but she still didn't give up, and asked, "Then what about the girl who came with you? Where's the nanny?"

He didn't know girls from rich families, but he only knew that girls would never go out alone unless they got lost.

Ah Yao looked up at him: "They're all at home."

Wu Jin was helpless, and seeing that it was still early, she said, "Follow me first, and I will send you back after I finish my wages."

Ah Yao was also tired from playing, followed him into the mountain gate, and said as he walked, "My name is Mo Lingfeng, you can't call me Ah Yao."

Wu Jin nodded: "I call you Miss Mo."

Mo Lingfeng looked at the murals, touched the arhat, walked into the Guanyin Hall with Wu Jin, and saw someone rolling a lottery in front of the Guanyin statue, she grabbed Wu Jin's clothes and said, "You also take one."

Thinking of her father's injury, Wu Jin moved her heart to ask for a spiritual lottery. After the people in front had finished drawing, she stepped forward and kowtowed, then shook the lottery container, and silently recited "Please save the suffering and rescue the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to guide my father to overcome the difficulties", and there was a crisp "da" , a bamboo stick fell from inside.

He picked up the bamboo stick, and before he could read it, Mo Lingfeng's little head came over to read the signed document with him.

"Playing in the Bibo Pool, surrounded by a net in the dark; I have no idea to turn out, and I am destined to go to the Spring Pass to suffer alone."

Sign down.

When Wu Jin saw this signature, she didn't need to undo it, and she didn't know it was good. There was a trap and a catastrophe. Immediately, her heart sank, and her expression also darkened.

Suddenly, Mo Lingfeng reached out and took the lottery from his hand, and threw it back into the lottery holder: "Shake again."

Wu Jin was taken aback: "What?"

Mo Lingfeng shook the stick vigorously, and said in an uncompromising tone, "Shake again."

Wu Jin couldn't help but laugh, but Mo Lingfeng stared at him very seriously, as if he would not leave without shaking it once, he laughed and shook the stick with a "bang bang".

There was another sound of "da", and a bamboo stick reluctantly fell to the ground.

Mo Lingfeng quickly grabbed the bamboo stick in his hand, and took a closer look, it was the one with the best stick, so he gave it to Wu Jin.

"If you are not far away from Taitai, a gentleman comes out of the mountain; if you encounter good news from a tiger and a rabbit, it is not difficult to make up your mind while you are busy."

Several women who came to worship Guanyin couldn't help laughing, and one of them said: "The lottery drawn again will not be allowed, and the Bodhisattva will blame you for being dishonest."

Mo Lingfeng raised his head and asked: "If you want to get the lottery, of course you have to shake it until the end. I am so determined, why does the Bodhisattva blame me?"

The woman laughed, and another person said: "If you ask for it in this way, it is not a spiritual lottery, and the master will not release the lottery."

Mo Lingfeng tugged Wu Jin hard, pulled him up, and walked forward with his head held high: "We can read, and we can solve it ourselves."

Wu Jin quickly put the spirit lottery back into the sign holder, picked up the burden, and walked into the temple.

There were many pilgrims today, so Wu Jin managed to find a monk and explained his purpose of coming. The monk sent the two of them into a meditation room and asked them to sit here and wait for the guest monk to come by himself.

Wu Jin put the burden on the corner of the wall, sat upright in the chair, her back was neither slumped nor bent, her eyes were not wandering, her gaze was always on the door, and she could only watch Mo Lingfeng's movement from the corner of her eye.

Mo Lingfeng knelt on the chair, stretched his arms to pick up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and drank it, the tea was brewed at some time, it was cold from his mouth to his heart, and his stomach let out a long cry of hunger.

She didn't feel cold after walking around outside, but as soon as she sat down, she immediately felt like she was going to catch a cold, so she got off the chair and started to look around.

Wu Jin has been paying attention to her movements, seeing that although she can't sit still, she doesn't look around, so she is distracted thinking about her homework, thinking and waiting.

An hour passed, before the zhike monk arrived, the sky suddenly changed, the air in the room invaded, and the sun was covered by thick clouds outside, in an instant, it was dark.

The wind gradually picked up, blowing the caves on the rock walls whimpering, Mo Lingfeng walked to the door, the sleeves of her wide sleeves were filled with the wind in an instant, and she sneezed against the wind with a gigantic sneeze.

Wu Jin quickly stepped forward and pulled her behind her. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw the Zhike monk trotting over.

"The benefactor has been waiting for a long time." The Zhike monk closed the door, glanced at Mo Lingfeng, saw her pair of red phoenix eyes, dignified and majestic, thought: "The eyes are the seedlings of the heart, this little girl has good eyes."
