After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"Wait a minute, big sister." Wang Yugui held her back, looking at the broken melons on the ground, frowned, "You watch here, I'll borrow a broom to sweep this, otherwise, others might step on it and slip!"

"Oh, brother, you are right, why did I forget, hehe" the elder sister nodded and smiled after hearing this.

Wang Yugui ran to Caiji to borrow some cleaning tools, cleaned the floor, and then left with his eldest sister.

When Wang returned home, she saw her eldest sister carrying a large watermelon. She was surprised and said, "Hey, Gui'er, why did the nunnery give you some watermelons?"

"Haha, mother, what are you thinking about? We bought this ourselves. How can the nunnery be willing to give us a big watermelon?" The eldest sister laughed when she heard this.

The second sister was very happy when she saw them buy watermelons: "Oh, big watermelons, I love them!"

As he said this, he hurried to fetch water from the well and put the watermelon in to cool.

When Wang heard that they bought it, she asked hurriedly, "Oh, why did you think of buying a watermelon? This big watermelon must cost a lot of money, right?"

"Mom, I don't have much money. We haven't eaten watermelon this year, so let's buy one to try." Wang Yugui smiled.

In fact, it's not just this year. There was a severe drought last year and there were no watermelons for sale outside. Since he traveled back to ancient times, he has never eaten watermelon.

Wang frowned slightly: "The melons sold now are all first-harvest melons, so they must be expensive. It would be better to buy them after a while, then they will be much cheaper!"

"Hey, we have plenty of pears at home, why spend more money to buy watermelon!"

The eldest sister stuck out her tongue and dared not speak. Wang Yugui smiled and said, "Mom, I wanted to eat watermelon, so I bought one!"

"It's too hot. Eat some melons to cool off. It's better than getting dizzy from the heat and having a heat stroke. It's more cost-effective to see a doctor. Haha!"

The second sister nodded and smiled, "Yes, brother is right. Last time, sister Jin fainted from the heat, and she asked the doctor to prescribe medicine. It cost a lot of money, enough to buy several big watermelons, haha."

"Yeah, now that you mention it, it's true, haha." Wang also laughed after hearing this.

The eldest sister sighed: "Hey, actually we bought two watermelons, but one of them was hit by that damn Mr. Zhang San on the way!"

"Ah? Sister, what's going on?" The second sister asked hurriedly after hearing this.

Wang was also surprised: "Is it the third son of Mr. Zhang's family? How did he break a watermelon?"

"Hey, mom, this is what happened..." The eldest sister told them about what happened when she was hit on the road.

After hearing this, the second sister was so angry that she cursed Mr. Zhang San, but Wang was quite calm: "Oh, forget it!"

"Mr. Zhang San didn't hit me on purpose. If he doesn't want to compensate, then don't do it. Let's forgive him. It's no big deal if we eat one less melon. Why get angry?"

"Well, you are right, mom. I didn't expect him to pay me back. I just wanted to reason with him. Haha." Wang Yugui laughed.

……

After dinner and a bath, Wang Yugui and his family sat in the yard and ate watermelons chilled by well water. The watermelons were sweet and cool.

The next day was Wang Yugui and his elder sister’s last day at Shuijing Temple.

In the afternoon, after Wang Yugui finished painting the last portrait of his master, he asked his eldest sister to invite Master Nianshan over.

After seeing the portrait of the master painted by Wang Yugui, Nianshan nodded and said, "Amitabha, very good, very good!"

"Painter Xiao Wang really draws portraits quickly and well."

However, she didn't seem to want to pay the balance.

He sat down and looked at Wang Yugui: "I heard that Master Wang also painted a portrait of my disciple Jingyin?"

"Ah, yes, Master, I just drew a picture of Master Jingyin." Wang Yugui nodded.

I wondered, how did Nianshan know about this? Did Jingyin report it to her?

"Alas, I have lived to this age in vain and have never painted a portrait. I am not even as good as my apprentice," Nianshan suddenly sighed.

When Wang Yugui heard this, he understood that Master Nianshan also wanted a portrait of her!

Wang Yugui laughed and said, "I originally wanted to draw a portrait of the nun, but I was afraid of disturbing her practice, so I didn't dare to disturb her."

"Since Master is here today, let me draw a portrait of you as well!"

"Amitabha, this is not a problem, right?" Nianshan smiled and said the Buddha's name.

Wang Yugui smiled: "No trouble, Master, please sit down and be natural, don't be nervous!"

"Oh, Painter Xiao Wang, our small nunnery has limited money. I am not a good painter, so please save some money," Nun Nianshan suddenly said.

Wang Yugui smiled and said, "Master, this is a gift from me to you. Please don't ask for money."

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Master Nianshan laughed.

Wang Yugui smiled and said, "It's okay. Master, I should paint a portrait to express my gratitude since you are taking care of my business!"

Oh, if I don’t draw a portrait for this teacher today, it will be difficult to get the balance.

"Amitabha, I'll have to trouble Painter Xiao Wang," Master Nianshan said with satisfaction.

Soon, a sitting portrait of Master Nianshan was completed. After seeing it, Master Nianshan expressed her satisfaction and asked Wang Yugui to paint a standing portrait of her.

After the two portraits were completed, Master Nianshan took out ten taels of silver and paid the balance to Wang Yugui.

Master Nianshan took advantage and was in a good mood. She personally took Jingyin to send Wang Yugui and his sister away from Shuijing Temple.

"Master, please stay. We brothers and sisters will take our leave now." Wang Yugui walked to the door of the nunnery and stopped.

Nianshan nodded and said: "Amitabha, I won't see you off in the distance."

"See you guys later, take care!"

"Teacher, all the young nuns, please take care of yourselves. Goodbye." The eldest sister also bowed and said goodbye to the nuns.

Just as Wang Yugui and his sister turned around and stepped out of the threshold of Shuijing Temple, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the foot of the mountain. A team of yamen runners rushed up and everyone was startled.

The man in the lead was none other than Captain Liu, whom Wang Yugui was familiar with.

Wang Yugui hurried over and said, "Captain Liu, why are you here? What happened?"

Captain Liu looked at Wang Yugui without saying anything. He waved his hands left and right and said, "Surround Shuijing Temple. No one in the temple is allowed to leave!"

The yamen runners obeyed the order and immediately dispersed and surrounded Shuijing Temple.

Nianshan was shocked and hurried forward to ask, "Amitabha, why did this official surround my Shuijing Temple?"

"You are Nun Nianshan, right?" Captain Liu looked at Nun Nianshan and took out an official document: "Following the orders of the County Magistrate Hai, Shuijing Temple is temporarily closed! There is an important case that needs to be investigated!"

Nianshan said hurriedly: "Amitabha, this small nunnery is a pure place of Buddhism, what important case do you need to investigate?"

"Master, don't panic. It's just a temporary closure. Once the magistrate investigates the situation, it will be unsealed," Captain Liu said loudly.

When the nuns in the nunnery heard that the yamen runners were going to surround Shuijing Nunnery, they all ran to the gate of the nunnery.

Captain Liu shouted at the nuns again, "Who is Jingyin?"

Jingyin, who was listening from behind, shuddered with fear. After a moment's pause, he came over and whispered, "Little nun Jingyin!"

"Master Nianshan, Master Jingyin, please come with me to the government office," Captain Liu said, and then he shouted to the nuns behind him, "Everyone else, stay in the nunnery, don't panic, and don't go out!"
