Chapter 227 A Small Request

After sending Chen Afu out of the meditation room, the old monk Wuzhi turned back to the cabinet and opened the box. He looked at it greedily, sniffed it again and again, and pulled his beard for a long time. He took out the green bird's nest, closed the box and put it in the cabinet.

He said to another monk, who was seven or eight years old, "Gui Er, I will close the door to make medicine for twenty days, and I will not see anyone... Oh, no, I will not see anyone for thirty days. I will make medicine for the first twenty days, and incense for the last ten days. The vegetarian food will be delivered to the door of the medicine room or the incense room. Remember, no one is allowed to disturb me. For that donor Li, let your eldest brother Gui Ling give him acupuncture tomorrow, and then ask him to come to our temple again in two months."

The little monk Gui Er bowed and agreed.

Chen Afu and others were sent out of Lingyin Temple by the little monk Gui Yi, and they got on the carriage and went to Yingxue Temple.

She could always hear the sobbing of Jin Yanzi in her mind. The little guy usually gave away the treasures in the space, and the leaves were measured in eye mucus, not to mention the more precious green bird's nest. Giving so much away is like taking out its heart.

But she had Qiuyue by her side, so she could neither go into the space to coax it nor communicate with it, and could only listen, which made her feel distressed and guilty.

It was spring at this time, and the green became more and more intense as you went up the mountain, and there were also clusters of colorful mountain flowers.

In the backyard of Yingxue Temple, several children were playing in the yard outside the Zen room, and their cheerful and crisp laughter broke the tranquility of the past. Lechen sat aside and watched, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

As she laughed, she vaguely saw another scene, a beautiful young woman sitting in the corridor making clothes for her husband, and occasionally looking up at the two children laughing and making noises in the yard.

The young and handsome husband came back, and the beautiful woman hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands and got up to greet him. The children ran faster. The daughter was already in the husband's arms, and the son was also led by the husband.

The husband walked up to the woman, smiled gently, and said, "Yun'er, I'm back."

That scene seemed so long ago, as if it happened in the last life. So much so that she often felt uncertain, was that beautiful woman her former self? Was that handsome man her former husband? Did she ever have a husband, children, and family?

A layer of mist covered Lechen's eyes. She quickly raised her hand to wipe it off, lowered her head to turn the Buddhist beads in her hand, and began to recite scriptures.

Suddenly, the children's shouts became louder.

"Mother..."

"Auntie..."

"Auntie Chen..."

With the shouts, the four children all rushed to Chen Afu at the gate of the courtyard, some hugged her waist, and some grabbed her skirt.

Chen Afu laughed, squatted down and hugged the four children in his arms, and said with a smile, "My dears, keep your voice down. This is a quiet place for Buddhism. We cannot disturb the tranquility of the Bodhisattva."

The children all put their fat index fingers to their lips, and "hushed" a few times, and their voices became quieter.

Chen Afu looked at Dabao, who was grinning, and thought of the bloody disaster that the old monk talked about. Her heart ached so much that she really wanted to tie him to her belt and let him never leave her.

She touched his little face and said, "Dabao, you have to be well, and don't let anything happen to you."

Dabao was a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "Oh."

Chu Hanyan said jealously, "What about Jie'er? Did Auntie forget Jie'er?"

Yang Qian said unwillingly, "And me, and me."

Yang Chao didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes showed that he couldn't forget him either.

Chen Afu touched their little faces again and smiled, "And you, you all have to be well."

Then, Chen Afu stood up and was surrounded by them and came to the side of Abbot Chen. He bowed to her and smiled, "Abbot Lechen."

Lechen stood up and smiled, "Afu, thank you, I like the plain clothes you made. I have to thank you more. Yan'er is more cheerful and smart than the last time I saw her. Ah, that's great. This child can surprise people every time I see her."

The little girl can make such rapid progress, not only because of herself, but also because of the generous Jinbao who was crying in the space.

Chen Afu smiled and looked at the little girl Chu who was looking up and asking for praise, touched her little face, and said to Lechen with a smile, "Sister Yan is very smart, and I like her more and more." He said, "My skills in making clothes are not good, and the stitches are not fine. I'm sorry to make the abbot laugh."

After chatting with Lechen for a few words, she got rid of a few little tails and hurried to the courtesy room. Locked the door and slipped into the space.

I saw the golden swallow lying on the ground, covering its head with its wings and crying, its body twitching.

Chen Afu squatted down, picked it up and held it in his palm, saying, "Baby, stop crying, Mommy is distressed by you."

The golden swallow put down its wings, its eyes were swollen from crying, its little pointed mouth was half open, its little pink tongue was still trembling, its tears wet the feathers on its little head, and it was still sobbing. She said, "I have lived for so many years, and I have never taken out so many things at once. It takes at least 20 years to weave a green bird's nest. It is not only time-consuming, but also consumes a lot of my energy. So much was taken away by the old bald donkey in a short time, umm..."

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Chen Afu felt even more distressed, held it in front of his eyes and said, "Oh, baby, you broke Mommy's heart. Stop crying, Mommy thanks you on behalf of Brother Dabao."

After saying that, he couldn't help but kiss its little pointed mouth once, twice, and three times. He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped its tears.

Jinbao stopped crying and stared at Chen Afu blankly with narrowed eyes, then turned into a look of admiration. It had been kissed twice by Chen Afu before, but both times were so fast that it ended before it could react. But this time, it finally felt what it felt like to be kissed and loved.

It looked at Chen Afu, stretched its neck and chirped, "Mommy, why do you feel so sweet? Kissing is so good, I like it so much, and I'm so happy. In the future, can you kiss your relatives more? Just like you kiss Stinky Dabao is just like Sister Yaner. Don’t worry, although her little mouth is powerful, it won’t hurt Mommy.”

What a child who lacks love. This little look, this little request made Chen Afu's heart as soft as cotton candy. From this moment on, she was no longer afraid of its pointed mouth.

Chen Afu raised it to his eyes and kissed it again, and said softly, "You are mommy's baby, and you will definitely not hurt mommy. From now on, mommy will kiss you more, just like her own child."

After hearing this, Golden Swallow smiled with her pointed mouth and put the tip of her wing into her mouth again, as if she was reminiscing about the kiss just now.

Seeing that it was healed, Chen Afu gently placed it on the ground and said, "Baby, rest well. Mommy can't stay here for long, they are waiting for me outside." After saying that, he stepped out of the space.
