Joe's Farming

After dinner, the two families went to the beach to watch the sunset.

It was not until the sky was full of stars that I slowly walked back to the inn from the beach, still feeling unsatisfied.

Qiao Yu remembered that he didn't go to Dragon Island last time, and wanted to take a look at it this time.

But I definitely don’t dare to bring my children with me, in case they encounter any danger.

After expressing this idea, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning unanimously opposed it.

In addition, the fishermen said it might rain in the next few days, so they had to give up again.

"The Daci Temple in Nanyang is very famous. Why don't we go to the temple tomorrow to burn incense and worship Buddha. We can also stay overnight in the temple, listen to Buddhist scriptures, eat vegetarian food, and cultivate our bodies and minds." Xu Yuan suggested.

Due to health reasons, Xu's father and mother almost always go to temples.

Xu Yuan and his friends had been to this temple last time. The environment was nice, quiet and peaceful.

Qiao Yu thought that if she couldn't go to the island, she could visit a temple and pray for her family's safety.

So, early the next morning, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng sent people to the North Pier to rent two boats, and asked Chen Han and others to transport the wine back to Taoyuan first.

The silver note was also exchanged for gold and given to Lucas.

After dealing with all these, Qiao Yu felt like he had completed a task and was relieved.

Gu Feng also invited Lucas to join him, and Lucas gladly accepted the invitation.

The temple was built on a mountain northeast of Nanyang City.

Qiao Yu has always wondered why most temples are built on mountains.

In other words, his physical strength is much better now than before, otherwise his legs would have been broken after climbing down like this.

What surprised him the most was that his three little ones were physically strong, after all, they ran around the village every day, but how come a young master like Xie Tianyu could do it without getting embarrassed or out of breath?

At first, Gu Heng insisted on crawling by himself, but in the end, he had to crawl while being carried by Gu Feng.

The two little ones in the Xu family were eventually taken care of by their two fathers, one each.

Qiao Yu was breathing slightly and walking parallel to Gu Feng and Lucas.

Finally, I climbed to the temple gate before noon.

This temple is obviously larger than the Funing Temple, and even the bell in the temple is louder than that of the Funing Temple.

The sound of the bell is simple and melodious, making people stop and listen quietly unconsciously.

Lucas didn't understand and didn't dare to say anything.

After the bells finished ringing, the group of people entered with other pilgrims.

The temple floor was all stone slabs, without a single leaf on it, very clean. I guess the monks cleaned it every day.

Qiao Yu recalled the martial arts movies he watched when he was a child, in which the Sweeping Monk was the most powerful master.

So he couldn't help but look around for the figure of the Sweeping Monk.

As a result, he actually saw someone holding a broom.

But it has nothing to do with the hermit masters.

I saw a young monk about fifteen or sixteen years old, chasing a young man out of the temple with an expressionless face.

Before anyone could react, Qiao Yu rushed towards them!

"Joel."

Gu Feng didn't care about anyone else and hurried to catch up.

Qiao Yu supported the person who staggered after being swept by the broom.

It was only then that Gu Feng recognized that it was Anren, a young man from the Yi clan whom he and Qiao Yu knew.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning also came over at this time.

The little monk looked at them, turned and left without any explanation.

"Anren, what happened?"

Qiao Yu helped the man up and asked hurriedly.

An Rengang was a little surprised when he saw him and Gu Feng, then he shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you."

There was a faint cry in her voice when she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was the little monk who was wrong just now.

Qiao Yu: "Aren't we friends? Can't we even say we are friends?"

When Anren heard this, the tears that he had been holding back suddenly fell out.

He wiped his tears with his hands and looked at Xu Yuan and the others.

Without even asking Qiao Yu to tell him, Xu Yuan said directly to them, "I'll take the children and Lucas to burn incense first."

Even Gu Heng obediently let Lucas take him away.

In the end, only Qiao Yu and Gu Feng were left.

"Let's talk in another place."

After not seeing each other for half a year, Anren's Dayan dialect has improved a lot.

The three of them stopped under a pine tree outside the temple.

Anren wiped his tears and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qiao Yu: "Bring the kids over to play. What about you? What happened just now?"

"It's my sister."

Anren mentioned that his sister looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Feng: "Qiao Er and I won't tell anyone."

Anren seemed to have a long psychological struggle before deciding to speak out.

"My sister is pregnant with a child. It was... a senior monk in this temple. But he refused to acknowledge her. He would rather my sister die than marry her."

Anren became angrier as he spoke, and his clenched fists were shaking.

This simple sentence is an explosion of information.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng were both stunned for a while.

Qiao Yu asked tentatively: "If no one marries your sister, will she die?"

Anren nodded.

"According to the rules of our tribe, if someone like my sister gets pregnant before getting married, she must be sacrificed to the mountain god, unless someone marries her. My sister is too stupid. When brother Amu came to propose marriage, she refused. If she continues like this, she will really die."

Anren said this and started crying again.

Qiao Yu felt uncomfortable listening to this. If you get pregnant before marriage, you must get married, or else you have to sacrifice to the gods. What a weird belief.

"Don't cry, let's find a solution together. What's the name of that monk?"

"Xuan Min." An Ren said through gritted teeth.

"Go back and persuade your sister first. Brother Gu and I will help you find Xuan Min."

An Ren said with some concern: "But I've been here for several days and he hasn't come out. Can you find him?"

"We have our own way." Qiao Yu comforted.

Gu Feng also said “hmm”, “Human life is at stake, Qiao Er and I will try our best.”

"We will stay at the temple tonight. You can come back tomorrow."

Qiao Yu added.

Anren thanked them again and headed deeper into the mountains.

Qiao Yu frowned and looked at Gu Feng: "Brother Gu, you said you are a monk, why can't you control your lower body? Is it so easy to break the taboo?"

Gu Feng shook his head and only commented: "High monk."

It's full of sarcasm.

Qiao Yu: "Bah, scumbag monk."

-

When the two returned to the temple, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning had already prepared a room for them to stay in for the night.

There were many pilgrims in the temple but few rooms, so they were only allocated three rooms.

So there are two beds in one room, which can accommodate four people.

Gu Heng was still young and could barely squeeze in with Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan.

Qiao Xing, Xie Tianyu, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang share a room.

Fortunately, I thought the temple was safer, so I only brought Dashuang and Xiaoshuang with me.

As for Lucas, he just came to watch the fun and would leave after eating the vegetarian meal.

Seeing that the young man did not come back with them, Xu Yuan did not ask any more questions.

Instead, Qiao Yu called him and Xu Ning aside and asked if they knew a monk named Xuanmin.

Xu Yuan: "You have heard of him too? I came here last time to listen to his talk, he really spoke very well, it is said that he may be the next abbot."
