Chapter 334 The Strange Little Monk
Chapter 334 The Strange Little Monk
So she looked confused.
After all, the little nun looked very thin, and chopping wood was really a difficult task for her, which made her feel pity for her.
"I heard this is a nunnery."
"But there are also strong nuns, fat nuns, and capable nuns..."
Chu Er only said one sentence, but Bi Tao couldn't help but retort.
Anyway, in her opinion, the skinny little nun shouldn't work.
"Where to go?"
Chu Er sighed secretly, thinking that the two maids beside Concubine Xian were both argumentative.
"Master, are you going?"
Bitao nodded subconsciously.
But she still thought that she might not be able to make the decision on this matter, so she quickly sought her master's opinion.
"Let's go. Since we are going to the back mountain of the Taoist temple to enjoy the flowers, we will naturally have to enter the Taoist temple later."
If you want to enter a Taoist temple, you naturally have to get along well with the people here.
There's no reason to be indifferent when you see a little girl chopping wood, right?
Shen Zhishu also got off Yan Chu's back.
The four of them walked towards the little nun.
As the distance got closer, the little nun stopped chopping wood, holding the axe in one hand and placing the other hand in front of her body, making Taoist hand seals.
"I am honored to meet all the donors. I wonder why you are here?"
The little nun had a cold expression on her face, and after briefly glancing at the four people, she showed no emotion.
Like an iceberg, so cold.
Although she was wearing a Taoist robe, her facial features were very delicate and her deep eyebrows and eyes were very impressive.
Shen Zhishu felt that he had met him once, and he was afraid that he would never forget it after this.
"What's your name, Master?"
She looked at her curiously. She was very petite, as if she could be hugged by one hand.
"My poor nun's name is Wangyou."
She lowered her eyes and head as a gesture of greeting.
Even the Buddhist name sounds nice.
"Master Wangyou, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry such a big piece of wood back. Why don't you find a smaller one?"
Even if she cut it down, it would be difficult for her to cut it down smaller with her strength. Even if she cut it down smaller, she would probably have to run back and forth more than ten times to carry it back. Why bother?
Wangyou raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly.
"How to chop wood is my business, so don't worry about it. If you want to burn incense, please go to the Taoist temple. If you want to enjoy the flowers, there is a small path on the left side of the temple that leads directly to the back mountain. You can go straight up."
But I have absolutely no interest in explaining to them.
After saying that, she looked at the axe and the tree in her hands, as if she was ready to take action again.
There is also suspicion of driving them away.
Such a personality?
Shen Zhishu looked back at Yan Chu in surprise.
If you don't reveal your identity, it seems like people don't care about you at all.
"Thank you."
But Yan Chu didn't seem to have such plans.
He immediately grabbed Shen Zhishu and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Then the sound of chopping wood came from behind.
She cut deep and shallow, but she was still trying, as if she was determined to cut down the tree.
How can all nuns be so stubborn?
Because they came to appreciate the flowers, they did not enter the temple and went directly to the back mountain.
But they didn't expect that they were not the only ones who came here to enjoy the flowers.
There are some people scattered here and there in the chrysanthemum field.
Moreover, most of them were young men and women, exchanging glances and looking extremely shy. I was afraid that they were either newlyweds or were discussing marriage.
Just glance at it.
Shen Zhishu suddenly felt that it was not appropriate for her and Yan Chu to come here, as they might be an old couple.
No one has the same emotions as others.
So appreciating flowers seems too coy and artificial.
But Yan Chu was appreciating the flowers very seriously.
Following her, he bent down and actually started picking flowers.
One by one, I picked all the beautiful ones.
Soon there was a bunch of colorful chrysanthemums.
"When you come here, you always have to bring some back as a souvenir."
He stuffed the flowers directly into her hands.
Shen Zhishu was a little surprised, and looking at the flowers in his hand, he felt inexplicably happy.
I even subconsciously looked at other people in the sea of flowers.
It seems that no one sent flowers.
"Thank you."
Although he could see the flowers everywhere, the feeling was very different when he held them in his hands.
All women like flowers.
Yan Chu smiled faintly.
A sentence flashed through his mind. It was what Su Rong said to him not long after they met.
So as soon as he entered the sea of flowers just now, he couldn't help but want to pick some flowers to make Shuer happy.
It turns out that some of what she said made sense.
And it seemed that other people were also inspired and followed suit, picking the flowers and giving them to their beloved women.
A sweet scent instantly filled the sea of flowers.
Later I stayed in the mountains for a long time.
Great view.
Then three nuns came from the back door of the Taoist temple, carrying baskets on their backs.
Stop where crowds gather.
Shen Zhishu and the others were far away and couldn't hear what was being said over there.
But you can see them taking out pot after pot of tea from their backpacks.
Passersby who came here took it with a smile and expressed their gratitude.
"The Taoist nuns in this temple are really kind-hearted."
"What are you thinking? There is no such thing as free tea. Besides, there are many tourists coming here every day. Even if the water is free, the tea, even the lowest quality, costs money."
Yan Chu interrupted her naive thoughts with a smile.
"Achu means that the tea costs money?"
Shen Zhishu was a little surprised.
Before Yan Chu could respond, those who had asked for tea nearby started paying copper coins.
And there were quite a few people ordering tea and queuing up to buy it.
Nuns serving tea came out from the back door one after another.
"Go buy a pot."
Yan Chu raised the corner of his mouth and looked with interest at the nun who was doing tea business in the back mountain.
Shen Zhishu looked at the hot tea beside them and did not object.
Indeed, she was also curious as to why these Taoist nuns were still doing business in the back mountain.
It didn't take a while.
Chu Er bought some tea and ran back quickly.
"Master, I have inquired about it. In addition to this chrysanthemum tea, there are also chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum pancakes, and chrysanthemum rice. If you like, you can make a reservation first and come to the temple to eat in an hour."
Chu Er also said that the chrysanthemum banquet is the specialty of the Taoist temple. During this season, many people will come to the temple to have vegetarian meals.
"Want to go?"
Yan Chu looked at Shen Zhishu.
"Go and see."
She was interested, but Yan Chu also seemed very interested.
About an hour later.
Led by the nun, they entered Room No. 1, named Xianpinyuan, a small courtyard built of bamboo and an open-air dining table.
There are chrysanthemums planted around the courtyard, as well as some green plants commonly found in the mountains.
The atmosphere is excellent.
Vegetarian dishes followed soon after.
The banquet was all chrysanthemums, and everything was adorned with chrysanthemums, even the cold dishes.
I don’t know how it tastes, but the presentation alone is very exquisite.
"I wonder who the chef in this Taoist temple is? He has such an idea, he is quite talented."
As they were talking, a nun walked slowly towards them, holding chrysanthemum cake.
"Thank you for the compliment, I am just trying something new. If you come here a few more times, you will find these vegetarian dishes just fine."
But I didn't expect that it was the little nun who could chop wood that I saw when I went up the mountain, Wangyou.
