I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times

When Lin Zhao was about to go to bed at night, he found a secret letter under his quilt.

It says:

Aiqing, you live a comfortable life, but I have a headache recently! Recently, she had an illegitimate child, and the traitor stared at her, which was very troublesome. I have arranged for someone to come to you, I hope you can share my worries for me.

The next day, he picked up a child who was two or three years younger than Bu Er at the door.

The child was pink and jade-carved, and looked very cute, but he had a stinky face.

"Here." He handed over a token.

Lin Zhao pursed his lips, this is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor.

Lin Zhao put his arm around his shoulders and led him through the door.

She wanted to reach out and touch his head, but was dodged at the first touch. The child raised his stinky face, his eyes were full of accusations, as if to say, "Don't move my head."

Lin Zhao smiled maliciously. I'm sorry, but he will move his head today. Not only will he move his head, but he will also shave off all his hair.

In front of the Maitreya Buddha statue in the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

With tears in his eyes, the child was pressed to his shoulders and knelt on the futon, watching his hair fall out little by little.

The wet silk cloth was wiped over his head, it was cool.

The child finally couldn't help crying loudly. After crying, he was still embarrassed and kept his mouth shut.

Lin Zhao wrung out the veil and wiped it all over his face, wiping away his tears and nose, which made him feel very uncomfortable and struggled.

Shantong brought a plate of hawthorn candy, and Lin Zhao stuffed it into his mouth, successfully calming down the child.

Lin Zhao bestowed the Dharma title "Not Tired" on the child and his peers.

However, this Dharma name did not have the magic power as expected, and Buti is definitely the first thing that worries him the most in the temple.

In the first few days, he was quite safe, and even when Lin Zhao said that he would be happy and that he didn't have to do any work, he stubbornly retorted.

"Thank you for taking me in. Regardless of my young age, I think I can do the work in the temple."

When he said this, he still had a stinky face, as if he didn't agree with Lin Zhao's underestimation of him.

Seeing that Buer is not much older than him and can work in the farmland, he thinks he can do it too.

But self-confidence can be sure.

However, he really arranged work for him. Within a few days, he came to Lin Zhao again, crying and saying:

"Abbot! Being a monk is too tiring, can you stop asking me to weed!"

Lin Zhao smiled kindly.

Sure enough, he is a child, and he thinks it out as soon as he thinks it out.

"No, since you have come to the temple, if you choose to work, you must persist to the end."

When I was not tired, I suddenly lost my brows and drooped my eyes, and became sluggish, like a wilted grass.

"How about this, you follow Bu Er to weed the fields every morning this month, and welcome pilgrims in the Palace of Heavenly Kings next month."

Hearing this, the wilted grass immediately straightened up and became radiant again. Bulei clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Zhao in gratitude.

Lin Zhao smiled kindly.

It looks as cute and angry as a boy under the seat of Buddha, so it must be very popular with pilgrims.

Poor Buti, who doesn't know that he is about to usher in the fate of being touched.

He still doesn't know how much he will miss the days of weeding with Fuji in the future.

The first person in the temple to quickly get acquainted with Bulei is not Buse, who has the highest charisma value, but Shantong.

Shantong can make all kinds of delicious food, which child can escape the temptation of delicious food?

On the first day he came, Shantong made soft and delicious rice cakes.

As usual, the brothers divided the freshly baked ones, and the rest were sent to the squatter's dormitory.

I'm not tired. I'm a small person with a big belly. He quickly finished his portion.

He licked the cake crumbs on his fingers with relish, and tapped his mouth, feeling that he hadn't eaten enough.

Wu Liuliu's eyeballs turned around the table, and saw that there were still a few pieces left on the plate of Senior Brother Fuji.

Fuji has always been reluctant to eat all the delicious food at once, maybe it is the habit of hoarding that he learned from the old abbot.

The same is true for the rice cakes I got today. As usual, keep a few pieces and eat them after finishing the work, as a reward for myself.

He cleaned the picked Chinese cabbage and put it into a basket so that it would be more convenient for senior brother Shantong to take it directly when he fried the cabbage with vinegar for dinner.

He scooped up some well water to wash his hands, and then walked to the table, preparing to enjoy the rewards that were reserved for himself as usual.

I don't know when I get close, take a look! The plate was empty except for some white pastry crumbs.

Buer's chest rose and fell, and he clutched his little heart, feeling an unspeakable pain.

who? Who moved my rice cake?

A few characters quickly flashed through Buer's mind.

The first one to veto was Senior Brother Shantong. Brother Shantong will not be greedy for this pastry.

The second person who vetoed was Senior Brother Changmao. He was on duty in the bell tower today, and his share of rice cakes was sent by Senior Brother Shantong.

The third person who vetoed was the abbot. Although the abbot was greedy for delicious food (Lin Zhao: ...Is this how I look in your eyes?), he would never eat the rice cake without saying hello.

The fourth veto is Buse, who has gone to alms for alms and has not returned yet.

The fifth veto is lay pilgrims, who don't come to the backyard very much, and don't sneak a few pastries.

Then... there is only one left, don't get tired!

Not tired, young and greedy, is the most likely candidate to take his rice cake.

He was not tired after finding it, he was squatting on the ground rolling millet.

"How can you steal my rice cake?"

"I, I don't have one..." Buti's eyes flew all over the place, but he didn't dare to look at him, his ears were flushed red.

"Don't do this in the future, tell Senior Brother Shantong what you want to eat."

"...Understood." It's embarrassing not to be tired, and it's not that he hasn't eaten good food, but he doesn't know why he is so greedy for a few rice cakes.

Maybe it's because senior brother Shantong's craftsmanship is too good.

After Lin Zhao knew about this, he made Bulei and Brother Changmao stay on duty at the bell tower for half a day.

Brother Shantong sent him into the bell tower with a basket of food.

Buti couldn't wait to open the basket to see that there were gold and silver millet cakes and sour plum soup.

He himself took a gold and silver millet cake and bit it in his mouth, and sent the basket to Senior Brother Changmao's nose.

Brother Changmao was reading the scriptures, but he didn't notice that a little Douding also came up to accompany him. Now that the food was delivered to him, he didn't look tired.

Brother Changmao has experience in playing with children, and he quickly became familiar with Bulei.

Telling stories for a while, and holding him up for a while to see the pilgrims coming and going in the temple, making him feel that it is quite interesting to be on duty in the bell tower.

Not Tired likes Senior Brother Changmao very much, but in his heart, Senior Brother Shantong will always be number one.

No, after following Senior Brother Shantong's **** for a while, he got a piece of mille-feuille.

Wander around for a while and watch Senior Brother Shantong grind soybeans.

Go again the next day, and you will get a bowl of cold sweet bean curd!

In addition, there are roasted potatoes, roasted taro, fried rice crackers, jelly bean sticks...etc.

Under the temptation of all kinds of pastries and snacks, Bu Tier soon became the second person familiar with the kitchen, and also learned how to make a fire.

Although it was just throwing firewood into it according to Senior Brother Shantong's order.

He will also help chop garlic and choose vegetables!

Helping senior brother Shantong to light the fire is also delicious. When the firewood in the stove is finished, senior brother Shantong will throw a few potatoes and some chestnuts into it.

Go out and help Brother Fuji to water the farmland, and when you come back, pull out the black charcoal ashes, take out the roasted potatoes and roasted chestnuts inside, and you can eat them deliciously!

Baked potatoes and roasted chestnuts are sweet and glutinous, very delicious!

And when everyone eats together, their mouths are darkened, and the palms of their hands are also darkened, which is too pleasant.

The second person in Bulei's heart is Buse, and he succeeded in occupying this position by relying on his ability to play as soon as he came back from alms.

At noon, when the heat was hottest, Buse took Buerbuti and Xiaomi to the water stream behind the temple.

Water streams flow down from the rocky riverbed above and converge into pools below.

There are trees growing on the stones on the left and right sides. The trees are very lush, but only a few branches protrude above the water pool.

The afternoon sun fell on the water, reflecting golden light.

After Buse led them to the water stream, he jumped directly into the pool, so happy!

Not tired anymore, I also cautiously followed into the water, soaked in the water, only one head was exposed, feeling that the skin was wrapped in the gentle and cool water.

Xiaomi turned around in a circle, made a sound of "Wow", and jumped into the water after running for a while.

Water splashed everywhere, splashing on Bulei's face, he laughed loudly and scolded Xiaomipi.

Buer followed the last water.

The water pool is not deep near the shore, so if you are not tired, you can touch the rocks at the bottom here, and occasionally small fish that are not afraid of people pass through your fingers.

Buse is paddling in the center of the pool, which is about 1.4 meters deep.

I am not tired of playing by the pool for a long time, and I am a little ready to move, wanting to go to the center of the pool.

Without color, he went ashore directly and got into the dense bushes. Not long after, a piece of plantain tree trunk was brought from nowhere, thrown onto the pool, and floated up.

Bu Er and Bu Tier just lay down on it and stepped on the water, holding their breath from time to time and going down into the water.

Xiaomi learned to swim without a teacher, paddling around, sticking out his tongue happily.

After returning home, Lin Zhao still inevitably reprimanded him.

Although it was a summer afternoon, there was still a risk of getting cold after returning from the dense forest with a wet body.

After taking a hot bath, they were urged to stand under the sun for a while, holding the freshly brewed **** tea made by Senior Brother Shantong in their hands.

Don't feel tired and feel happy in the temple! I completely forgot how reluctant I was when I first came.

Of course, if there weren't those bold pilgrims passing by and pinching his face.

Whenever this time, he very much hoped to follow Buse down the mountain to seek alms.

This opportunity is coming soon.

One day, the abbot asked the three of them to ask for alms, specifying the location and route.

First go to the village, then to the manor, and finally to the forest farm.

Before setting off, they brought a lot of dry food and drinks.

Dry food includes steamed buns, flower rolls, millet cakes and roasted sweet potatoes. They drank sour plum soup, linden tea and boiled well water.

Carrying a small basket on his back, he was not tired and completely regarded this almsgiving as a play.
