Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Early the next morning, after the monks had finished their morning classes, Yun Qi went to the abbot brother and told him about the incident on the cliff, and then he arrested a few young monks and went to lay the kang for the senior monk.
It was originally against the rules, but the key point is that no one can stop what this little ancestor is going to do, and it is a kang for the old ancestor, so all the monks in the temple turned a blind eye One eye, pretending not to see, let them toss.
Yun Qi is very talented in making things, he draws blueprints, and then turns the little monks around to direct them. It seems to be a mess, each doing his own thing, but in fact it is orderly. In just an hour, a brand new big kang is ready. Appeared in the meditation room of the great monk.
The young monks dispersed one after another, busy with their own affairs: Kudu Temple is not small, but there are few people, almost no idlers, if there are, Yun Qi counts as one, and the big monk counts as half.
So Yun Qi personally set the fire to the highest level - the new kang needs to be burned like this for a few days to completely remove the moisture, so that it is easy to live in.
Yun Qi and the great monk were sitting on a small stool by the stove, one was holding a copper coin, the other was counting beads, betting on whether it would snow heavily or lightly tonight, occasionally throwing a few sticks of firewood, or throwing a few peanuts Go in, before you know it, most of the day has passed.
"Great master! Little master uncle!"
The little monk came running out of breath, screaming as he ran, looking very anxious.
Yun Qi didn't even bother to pay attention to him, this little monk was always on fire all day long, no matter what happened, when he came to him, he was as anxious as if his house was on fire.
The great monk said: "Don't worry, don't worry."
It's not that the great monk is so wordy that he has to say a sentence twice, but the word "Mo Ji" is the name of this young monk.
Don't worry: "Grand Master Grand Master, Junior Master Uncle, Master Pu Hong asked me to ask if there is much hot water here."
Yun Qi said: "Those three people have been rescued?"
Don't worry: "They have been rescued, but not three, but four. The ancestor said, they have injuries, and they are freezing hard. It is best to have hot water to soak...the kitchen also Burned some, but not that much."
Yun Qi has burned the kang here for a long time, of course there is a lot of hot water, but it is reserved for the monks who came back from saving people to soak their feet, but it is useless to say it, it will still be hot if it is taken out. Use those few first.He simply didn't say anything, got up and Mo Ji carried a large bucket of hot water to the guest room in the front yard.
As soon as he entered the front yard, Yun Qi almost turned his nose out of anger.
I saw a little monk by the well mouth in the front yard, with his sleeves rolled up high, holding a loofah, vigorously scrubbing a large bathtub. Judging from the amount of water splashed by the well, this bathtub has been cleaned many times. , the little monk's hands were red from the cold, and he sucked his nose from time to time, looking very pitiful.
Yun Qi dropped the bucket heavily on the ground, the little monk raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Yun Qi, he trembled in fright, ran over to apologize, and said in a low voice, "Little Master Uncle, Little Master Uncle, calm down, calm down...Pu Uncle Hong said, Minger, no, I will ask Brother Puhui to make you a new one later, bigger and more beautiful than this one!"
Yun Qi snorted coldly: "I said how to save people in a snowy day. There is not enough water in the kitchen. It is ready for co-authoring. People think it is dirty and won't use it, right?"
The little monk had a bad mouth, so he knew he was making amends, and he was afraid that people would hear him if he made a loud voice, so he wished he could jump up and stop Yunqi's mouth.
Don't worry, he put down the bucket long ago, ran to the door of the wing room, opened a crack in the thick curtain, got into a head, winked at the inside and wiped his neck.
Pu Hong, who was wearing cassocks and was drinking tea with Liu Qin and the others, apologized unhurriedly. When he walked to the door and took a look, he immediately helped his forehead, and first knocked on Mo Ji's forehead crisply and loudly: let He went to borrow some hot water, who asked him to recruit this little ancestor?
Hastily lifted the curtain and quickened the pace.
"Uncle Master! Uncle Master! Calm down!" Puhong said in a low voice, "Parents for food and clothing, parents for food and clothing! You can't entertain once in a year and a half, just pass by with patience! There are only a few bathtubs in the temple, just Uncle Shu, yours is the cleanest and most beautiful... Junior Brother Puhui is already making new ones for you over there, and the materials are being selected! If you don’t believe me, go to the firewood room to have a look.”
Yun Qi snorted coldly: "Using my things, you still think I'm dirty...Why doesn't she wash it herself? How old is Mo Xu? Don't you know how cold the water is right now?"
Puhong smiled wryly and said, "I'd rather wash it myself, but the monk is also a man, that female benefactor..."
Afraid of adding fuel to the flames, he hurriedly stopped and reminded repeatedly: "My parents, my parents! Please bear with me, uncle, just send them away in a few days!"
Naturally, Yun Qi would not take his anger out on Pu Hong, the monks in this monastery devoted themselves to cultivation, and all the mundane affairs were on him alone, and he was the one who suffered the most.
Knocking on Mo Xu's head, he said, "It's enough to wash it clean. Are you trying to brush off the sawdust?"
Mo Xu rubbed his head and said, "Mo Xu promised the female benefactor to brush it a few more times, and monks will not tell lies."
Yun Qi hated iron but said: "Don't think that you are a monk if you shave your head, you are a fart!"
Mo Xu muttered: "Master promised Mo Xu that as soon as he arrives, he will officially shave Mo Xu."
Yun Qi had nothing to do with the little monk, so he turned around and went back to the backyard, explained to the big monk, and went to the woodshed to chop firewood.
Today, he burned the kang and burned all the firewood in the temple for a few days, but the nephew who was in charge of chopping firewood went to the mountain to save people today, and I am afraid that he is very tired at the moment.
Back in the wing room, Pu Hong found Gu Yaoqin standing at the window, and was taken aback for a moment, Gu Yaoqin smiled slightly, and said: "Master Puhong, that young man just now looks familiar, but he is the one who delivered the letter to the master yesterday?"
Puhong nodded yes.
Gu Yaoqin said angrily: "It really is him. Master shouldn't have stopped him just now. After all, he is kind to us, so we should see him."
Pu Hong smiled and said nothing.
Gu Yaoqin said again: "He is a handyman in the temple? What's his name?"
Pu Hong shook his head and said: "There are no servants in this temple, this is a lay disciple of an elder in the temple."
But no name was mentioned.
What is the difference between a lay disciple and a handyman?Gu Yaoqin smiled, thought for a while, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, and said: "Master, please give this bracelet to him, and I should thank him for his kindness yesterday."
But Pu Hong refused to accept him, saying: "He lives in the temple, if the benefactor wants to, she might as well go."
Gu Yaoqin tried to persuade him twice, but Pu Hong kept shaking his head, and said: "Several benefactors, the hot water room has been prepared, and you can take a bath and change clothes, so you can rest well... If necessary, you can tell Xu Er not to worry about it." My nephew, the poor monk still has something to do, so I will leave first."
He saluted the three of them together, turned around and went out.
Gu Yaoqin froze in place, smiled after a while, and said: "The masters of Kudu Temple are really putting on airs."
The two princes came to visit, but none of the old monks and great monks in the temple showed up. They only sent a disciple of the "Pu" generation who was only a little higher than the little monk who had not been formally ordained to entertain them. A disciple, the attitude is mediocre.
Liu Qin glanced at her, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and said nothing.
Their cousin was born as a concubine, and they go in and out of the palace every day, so they are deeply loved by the empress dowager. They should be well versed in the art of observing words and expressions, but why they became dull when they went outside, and they couldn't see that Master Puhong was still respectful and self-respecting. She became indifferent when she mentioned the "handyman".
Yun Qi is used to chopping firewood. It's not that the monks abused him, but because he wants to guess the riddle left by God. Calmness is the most important thing. If you want to be calm, the easiest thing is to do something for a long time. Monotonous and repetitive things, such as picking Buddha beans, such as chopping firewood.
Yun Qi chose the latter.
Picking Buddha beans is easy, but Yun Qi has always been deeply repulsed by this kind of worthless, purely mind-cultivating behavior - his time is not wasted like that.
When Liu Yue and others found him, Yun Qi was still chopping firewood.
Looking at the young man who raised the ax and dropped the axe, several people were a little dazed. It was not that they had never seen someone chop wood, but it was the first time they saw someone who could chop wood. It was so natural, casual and pleasing to the eye.
No matter how hard it was, the ax fell at will, and the thick wood split along the lines, as easily as tearing a piece of thin paper.
Even the voice is like cracking silk, with a bit of melodiousness.
Liu Qin sighed: "I didn't expect my little brother to be so outstanding in martial arts. I was blind before."
Yun Qi had spotted them a long time ago, thought they were just strolling around, he didn't want to strike up a conversation, and said without raising his head, "I know some martial arts, but the skill of chopping firewood has nothing to do with martial arts, practice makes perfect."
This sentence is not a lie, but the word "cooked" that makes perfect does not refer to chopping firewood - he has been competing with God for more than ten years, and sometimes he can see the sky and the earth. There are patterns, not to mention the wood - in his eyes, the patterns are thicker than his fingers, and they will naturally fall apart with an axe, just like the state of Paodingjieniu written in the book.
He said again: "You have injuries on your body, and you just took a bath, you really shouldn't come out to blow the snow and wind, and catch the cold carefully."
When you get sick, you have to find someone to take care of you, or even go down the mountain to buy medicine—it’s troublesome.
Liu Qin said with a smile: "Thank you little brother for your concern, but I have the kindness of saving my life. If you don't come to thank me in person, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Yun Qi finished chopping a few pieces of wood at his feet, then put away the ax and raised his head, he immediately laughed: Yo!Another acquaintance!
Don't worry about telling him earlier that they rescued a total of four people. Unexpectedly, the fourth person was also an acquaintance.
This tall man standing beside Gu Yaoqin with an indifferent face was Gu Yaoqin's personal bodyguard in his previous life. His name was Chen Qun. He had a mysterious origin and extremely high martial arts.
In his previous life, Yunqi had heard people mention that this hero Chen Qun and Chen Daxia, Bo Yuntian, had saved his life by Gu Yaoqin, so he repayed him with his life. Never die.
Thinking about coming here, this hero Chen first blocked the pursuers for them, and then got away to search for them. He found these few under the cliff... Judging by his appearance, he was injured much more seriously than Liu Qin and Liu Yue. It is really not easy to go down to the cliff to find someone.
In the past and present, this Miss Gu family seems to always come across some good things, which is really enviable luck.
He smiled and said: "Now you have thanked me, and I have received it, so I can eat and sleep... Hurry up and go back and rest!"
It's better to go back and nest, and don't cause us any more trouble!
But Gu Yaoqin gave him a gentle smile, and said: "Although I thanked him, I haven't thanked him yet... This jade bracelet should be regarded as a thank you gift, and I hope you don't want to despise meagerness."
Hand over the jade bracelet to Chen Qun, signaling him to send it to Yun Qi.
Yun Qi picked up the jade bracelet to play with it a few times, then threw it to Chen Qun casually, and said: "It's too meager. If I hadn't left you something to keep you alive yesterday, and brought someone to rescue you today, you would have died by now Huang Quan. A mere bracelet, how can it save your life? How about this, I don’t despise your shallow appearance, just stay by my side and be a girl!”
Gu Yaoqin was stunned for a while, but couldn't react for a while: "You..."
Make her a girl?Let her be a girl for this handyman?Ask her, Gu Yaoqin, to be a girl for such a handyman?
ha!Ha ha!It's... just... ridiculous?ridiculous?arrogance?Incredible?Whimsical?Toad wants to eat?
All these words added up are not enough to describe her mood.
Isn't this kid a lunatic?
Make her a girl?Does he even know who she is?In the whole big dive, how many people dare to talk to her like this?
Chen Qun stepped forward even more, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"You don't want to?" Yun Qi said angrily: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, let alone the great kindness of saving a life? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to be a girl alive, and never let you be a cow." Horse, go through fire and water, but still not satisfied? Hmph! What an ungrateful person!"
Gu Yaoqin was furious for a while, she never expected that she would face this kind of humiliation because of her kindness, she came to thank this little handyman in person, but she still couldn't get angry.
With a helpless smile on his face, he said: "The grace of saving life should be repaid with life, but I am not alone, and there are parents who grow up at home, waiting for me to go back to fulfill my filial piety... If the little brother really wants a girl, After I go down the mountain, send a few well-behaved people up the mountain to serve my benefactor, okay?"
"Who doesn't grow up without parents?" Yun Qi shook his head and laughed, and said: "There are so many people in this world. If she saves someone with a steamed bun and a few herbs, she will feel that the other party deserves to smash her to pieces and smash her to pieces. A lifetime is not enough, if someone saves her, rewarding her with a few taels of silver would be considered the most benevolent and righteous... Human nature is greedy and shameless, there is nothing more shameless than this."
The smile on Gu Yaoqin's face couldn't be maintained any longer, she frowned and said, "What the hell are you talking about? How have I ever been smeared and smashed to pieces?"
Yun Qi ignored her, looked at Chen Qun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you staying by her side with a stern face, are you trying to prove that you are more noble than her?"
Before they could react, he turned to Liu Qin and said, "The basket of things yesterday was worth about seven or eight taels of silver, but it's not easy to carry it up the mountain. If you feel sorry, just give me nine taels."
Liu Qin touched his body and said with a smile: "I was in danger the day before yesterday, and I don't know where I lost my purse. How about I owe the nine taels of silver first? I'll pay it back when we see you next time, or, little Brother, if you have the opportunity to be in the capital, you will come to my house to ask for it, how about it?"
Yun Qi glanced at him, shook his head and laughed, and said: "That's all." He gathered the wood on the ground into a bundle, carried it on his back, turned and left.
The dignified fourth prince, no matter how down-and-out he is, will not be unable to take out nine taels of silver, but he would rather owe it than really use that mere nine taels of silver to repay the life-saving grace.
Watching the boy's back go away, Liu Qin turned around and saw Gu Yaoqin's pale face, which seemed to be on the verge of falling, shook his head and said, "You don't have to be like this, cousin, that boy is just joking."
He smiled again, and said: "Naturally, I will repay the kindness of saving my life, but... if he asks me to be his servant, I will not agree."
Gu Yaoqin smiled, her smile was as bright as a peony in bloom, she nodded and lowered her eyebrows, and said softly, "Thank you fourth cousin."
Liu Qin glanced at Liu Yue, who was silent from beginning to end, and said, "We should go back too. What the young man said was that you shouldn't come out to blow the snow after just taking a bath. troublesome."
Only then did I remember that I forgot to ask the boy what his name was.
