Marrying into a poor family

On Guanyin's birthday, ladies and gentlemen gathered in the Guanyin temple, either burning incense or lighting lamp oil in front of the Buddha to protect their health.Or they offer long banners, which goes like this: "If you ask for a son, you will get a son."

"If you give birth to a child, you should bring the child to kowtow under the Guanyin Seat and take refuge in the name of Guanyin. This can ensure a long life." The monks of the Guanyin Temple explained after taking away Su's offerings.

Mrs. Su and Sangu agreed again and again, and then walked out.

The only ones who came out with Su today were Xiaolan and Xiaoju. Aunt Sang had a headache last night because of the wind last night, so she stayed at home to rest.

As for Zhang Laosan, he was guarding the carriage at the foot of the mountain and did not follow him in.

Just after leaving the main hall, San Gu leaned into Su's ear and whispered in a low voice: "There is an old nun at the foot of the mountain behind Guanyin Temple. It is said that he has opened his celestial eyes, and his fortune-telling is very accurate. He can see people's past and next lives. , do you want to go and have a look?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it really accurate? Have you calculated it?"

"I heard what people in our village said. I haven't calculated it, but those who have calculated it are very accurate." The third aunt whispered in Su's ear: "My sister-in-law also has a hard life. She just found this The old nun looked at it and gave her a solution, and now life is going smoothly."

"I don't know if this is true or not, why don't you go and take a look?" Su didn't do it for herself. She wanted to take a look. If it was really accurate, she would help her daughter take a look.

It would be a bit far if we go down the mountain from the front gate and then take a detour to the back mountain. Sangu suggested going down the mountain from the back and asking a girl to go to the foot of the front gate and Zhang Laosan to drive a carriage to the back mountain to pick them up.

The old nun and two young nuns lived at the foot of the back hill. The three thatched houses were kept neat and tidy.

When Su and others went there, they happened to meet a woman kneeling at the door with her baby in her arms, crying, and kept begging the master to save her.

Sangu pulled Su to prevent her from passing, and whispered: "Let's see first, is she so smart?"

Su Shi also felt this, so she stood aside and watched the excitement.

The door opened, and a little nun with fair skin came out. She said to the kneeling woman: "Master said that she can't take care of your family's affairs. Donor, please go back and find another way."

But the woman refused, holding the little nun's hand and not letting go, pleading hard to save her and her child. It really made everyone cry and saddened.

Su and Sangu couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and wished they could come forward to help and say a few nice words.

A compassionate voice came from the room: "Well, since you are here with me, it is also a fate. Come in and let me take a look first?"

As if she was afraid that if she took a step too late, she would lose this opportunity, the woman hurriedly rushed in with her child in her arms.Sangu and Mrs. Su wanted to go in and take a look, but they were stopped by the little nun and said, "Donor, are you here for something?"

Su didn't say anything, but Third Gu spoke up: "I heard that facial recognition is quite accurate here. We want to come and have a look."

The little nun looked at Su and Sangu expressionlessly, and just said: "Donor, wait a moment!" Then she entered the house and closed the door.

Although he couldn't see it, he could hear the intermittent sounds in the room.

The woman cried and said that the child, who was only more than a month old, kept crying day and night, and even a doctor could do nothing. Seeing that he no longer had the strength to cry, he was afraid that he was in danger.

Then, there was no sound inside. About half an hour later, the woman came out with the child in her arms, with a smile on her face. Before leaving, she kowtowed to the house and said that she had met the Living Bodhisattva and that her child was saved.

Xiaolan's eyes widened and she asked the little nun who sent her out: "Is this child okay?"

"Of course it's nothing." The little nun didn't practice enough, and her face was quite smug. After glancing at Xiaolan, she then looked at the third aunt: "Is it the donor who wants to see our master?"

The third aunt pushed Su Shi away: "No, it's not me, it's her. Please tell me, Master. She had a hard life in the first half of her life. Let's see if things get better in the future." The third aunt and Xiaolan were stopped outside. , Su went in alone.

The windows in the room were not big and had not been opened, so the light in the room was not good.

An old nun wearing a black monk's robe sat on the futon with his eyes slightly closed. A string of bodhi beads was slowly turning in his hand, and incense was burning in the incense burner in front of the table.

Mrs. Su had been exposed to some incense recently, and took a special look at the incense burner. She felt that she had smelled this incense somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.

Master Tai opened his eyes and pointed to the futon opposite: "Sit down!"

Mrs. Su quickly imitated the old nun and sat down cross-legged.

"I"

As soon as Su uttered a word, Master Shitai said: "You don't need to say it, I already know your purpose."

There was something strange and mysterious in the dim room. Su Shi said in surprise: "Ah? How does Master know what I want to ask?"

"You don't have a husband or a son, only a daughter." Master Tai said slowly: "You don't even have parents. Your life is too hard. If your daughter's life was not equally hard, there is no way she would be able to keep her."

Su Shi felt a chill running from her spine to the top of her head, and her whole body was chilled to the bone. So it turned out to be because of her hard life?
"Looking at your face, has your daughter ever suffered a disaster and almost lost her life?"

"Yes, even after the Spring Festival this year, she just fell into the water. She was not actually drowned, but she fainted for three days for some reason." Su's hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't help but tremble a little.

"That's it, alas!" After Master Tai finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and said nothing, but he moved the Bodhi beads in his hand faster.

This sigh made Su Shi breathless, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat: "Master Tai, what's wrong with my daughter?"

"It would really not be good if her temperament changes drastically after she wakes up."

Su was hit again, but Qin Xiang's temperament changed suddenly after she woke up.

Tears instantly filled Su's eyes. She changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling, and begged: "Is there a way to solve it? No matter what method, I am willing to give it a try."

Even if your life is shortened, even if you convert to Buddhism from now on, you can eat fast and chant Buddha's name all your life.

After a long time, Master Taifu opened his eyes again, and the light shone in the dark room: "Your daughter is also destined to live a life without a father, a husband, or children." After a pause, he added: "Life I was ignorant, then confused, then enlightened, grateful, and learned to be humble, and then I regained my life, but I had my own heart and did not dare to give in."

Su felt her head was buzzing and her whole body fell to the ground. After a long time, she managed to get up and kowtow to her master: "Please, the Living Bodhisattva, save my son. Please, the Living Bodhisattva, save my son?"

"It's not that there's no way to crack it, but this method is a bit difficult."

Su Shi can even risk her life now, so why should she be afraid of trouble?So I hurriedly cheered up and asked what I could do?
"Your daughter owed a debt in her previous life, and this is the case in this life. Only her closest relatives are willing to repay the debt for her, so that her life can go as smoothly as she wishes."

Su's eyes were filled with hope, and she nodded repeatedly: "I am willing. Living Bodhisattva, please tell me, how should I do it?"

The living Bodhisattva master's mouth slightly curled up, and he said the Buddha's name, saying: "Please come over here. Don't talk about this matter to a third person, otherwise, all the previous achievements will be wasted."
