Chapter 275 Bless the girl safe and healthy

Monkey rejected the restaurants I suggested from Ms. Zhu, saying that since it was a celebration, he would make a meal by himself, and then drive out to catch the first stick of incense at dawn.

I thought about the bad things that happened this year, and immediately nodded in approval of this proposal.

The two of us went out to the big supermarket, discussing where to go to say goodbye while buying materials.

Houzi didn't really have much idea about Shencheng, he just jokingly mentioned that when they were with Boss Lu, every year on New Year's Day and the first day of the new year, Boss Lu would go to pay their respects. Xiang, and got into a fight with someone.

When I heard him say that, I thought of the small temple of Grandma Dong*. That place is very spiritual, and there are few people, so there should be no fights over the top incense.

I told the monkey about the place, and the monkey nodded, then took some snacks from the supermarket shelf.

That night, the monkeys were the main ones, and I helped. The two of us made six dishes and one chicken soup.

Of course, I am mainly responsible for watching the fire of the chicken soup and picking some green vegetables...

When it came to picking vegetables, I was distracted by the monkeys cutting meat and fish. I threw the old leaves into the vegetable basket and the young leaves into the trash can.

It's really not my fault!

It is really a monkey cutting vegetables, that is an art!

That kind of fresh pork, every time I cut it, I can only cut it into a big piece, and he can cut it into shreds. I asked the chef in the vegetable market to cut it up for me. Throw it in the oil pan, but he can cut the fish into pieces like flowers.

Once thrown into the oil pan and fried, it really becomes a flower.

He poured some kind of sauce on it again, the aroma made me drool even before it was cooked.

Waiting for him to finish frying all the dishes, I'm bleeding to my chest.

Braised pork that is shiny and not greasy in the mouth, sweet and delicious squirrel fish, fish-flavored shredded pork with superb taste, fried pork with pepper that is so fragrant to the stomach, hot squid, and a small plate of dried celery.

Uh, it was supposed to be shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables, that, because I was not careful at the time, I replaced it with dried celery.

But dried celery is also very delicious!
That meal was really the best, fullest, and happiest meal I had since I was born.

The six dishes, even the chicken soup, were cleaned up by the two of us.

Then we packed up and drove the Beetle out of Shencheng.

Eating snacks and talking all the way, after ten o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the small temple.

The small temple has been closed, and the lights are dark. I was hesitating whether to knock on the door. It happened that there was a layman inside who opened the door and came out to dump things. That layman also helped me when I was doing things here last time. I recognized it at a glance. out of me.

Knowing that I wanted to come to say goodbye to the New Year, I led the two of us in and let us live in a small room next to it.

He also told us that we would get up for morning class at five o'clock in the morning, and then we would ring the bell to let us take a break and get up on time.

I said hello repeatedly, and after sending that layman away, I turned around and fell on the bed in the room.

In other words, it can't be called a bed, it is an earthen kang that occupies most of the room, on which a layer of cotton wool and extremely simple sheets are laid, and the quilt is just a piece.

After I fell down, I sat up again.

Well the bed was hard and damp and cold.

The monkey looked at me and smiled, and asked me to get out of the way. After touching the bed, he took out an electric stove from his backpack.

I sat on the head of the bed and watched him find the plug and plug it in, then spread out the quilt, and use the electric stove to bake it little by little.

I really had a full meal at night, and I was talking to monkeys and eating snacks while driving all the way and didn’t sleep at all. Now I’m sitting like this, and I’m so sleepy that I nod my head.

At the beginning, I was able to talk to the monkey without saying a word, and as I talked, I fell down.

The monkey caught me, took off my coat, and hugged me into the half-dried quilt, and then he also took off his coat and got in.

In a daze, I only felt that he had covered the two of us with our coats on top of the quilt, but even so, it was still a bit cold.

I subconsciously pressed my body against him.

The young man put it on his hot body, and then fell asleep like that.

I seem to have heard the monkey whisper a bad girl, and I seem to have heard him say a silly girl.

Or, he didn't say anything, it was just my dreamlike auditory hallucination.

Anyway, I just fell asleep like that, hugging his waist and clinging to his chest.

Until he pushed me awake.

I rubbed my eyes, seeing that it was still dark outside, I took my phone and checked, it was not yet five o'clock.

The monkey didn't know where a pot of hot water came from, and said to me: "Wash your face, everyone here is up, and it's morning class later, ring the bell at 05:30, and say that as long as you are sincere, here's asking Peace is very spiritual.”

I groaned, and only after washing my face did I fully wake up.

Now I didn't have to be urged by the monkey, but instead urged him to go out together and found the lobby.

This small temple is actually closed to the public, and the laymen who came were all acquaintances. We came here suddenly, and there were no seats, but the layman gave us two futons in the corner of the main hall.

We imitated those people and knelt on the futon. We didn't know how to make gestures and chant scriptures, we could only put our hands together to make a gesture.

I was still afraid that the monkey didn't know the rules, so I opened my eyes and looked at him halfway. The monkey was kneeling more formally than me, with its back straight, its head slightly lowered, its eyes closed, but its lips were moving slightly.

I turned my head slightly to get closer to him, pricked up my ears to listen, and only heard intermittent sentences: I wish... bless the girl to be safe and healthy.

Although it was only half a sentence, my heart didn't feel agitated. Seeing his eyelashes move, I hurriedly turned around, knelt up straight, and closed my eyes.

Then, in the sound of chanting sutras that seemed to have a meditation function, he wriggled his lips lightly, and said very, very softly: "Please bless the Bodhisattva, bless Brother Houzi to be healthy and safe, and go smoothly, don't suffer any more, and bless those who treat me Good people, bless Lu Li, bless Miss Zhu, bless Wu Gang, they are all healthy and safe, bless me to be safe and smooth this year, and don't be fooled again!"

After I read it three times softly, I kowtowed three times very reverently.

At 05:30, we went to ring the morning bell with the people in the temple, and then went to offer the first stick of incense.

At dawn, we left the temple, went to find a hotel in Nanjing, and had a good catch-up sleep.

When I woke up in the afternoon, I saw that there were missed calls on my phone, and there were several messages wishing me a happy new year.

Two of them, one belonged to Lu Li and the other belonged to Lu Lingguang.

Lu Li's message was very simple, happy new year, but Lu Lingguang asked me where I was?Said to have dinner together.

I also replied to Lu Li with a happy new year message, and then replied to Lu Lingguang, I'm out on vacation, I'll talk about it when I get back.

Monkey and I had been eating, drinking and having fun in Nanjing for two days before returning to Shencheng. When we got home, I gave the lotus dzi, which symbolizes all perfection, to Monkey, and asked him to wear it with him to keep him safe.

Then, I sent a message to Lu Lingguang, telling him that I was back.

Lu Lingguang asked me to meet that evening.
