Chapter 307: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you

While Shen Wan was marinating the meat, she said, “I told the abbot that I need to give you some nutritional supplements.”

Children are in the period of growth, and it is not good for them to eat coarse food every day.

She gave a few of the kittens a quick checkup and found they all had varying degrees of anemia and malnutrition.

Especially this Liaochen, he was so thin that his bones were visible and his face was pale.

If this continues, his body will completely collapse.

"No!" Liaochen's face turned pale with fear, and he quickly clasped his hands together, "What a sin, what a sin! Monks can't eat meat!"

He didn't want to eat, but the other little monks were staring at him eagerly.

"Can you guys be more promising?" Lechen got really angry when he saw the useless looks of the little ones. "We are monks!"

A young monk pouted and said aggrievedly, "But I don't want to be a monk. My father used to be a butcher. When I grow up, I want to be a butcher and eat meat, too!"

In fact, most of these children have never thought about becoming monks. The reason they come here is simply because they are homeless.

When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she burst out laughing: "That's a good idea, I like it!"

Not to mention her, even Shen Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with being a butcher.

If there were no butchers, would people eat the pig hair along with it?

"What's good about that?" Lechen said anxiously, "Killing is a sin!"

Looking at his serious little look, Shen Wan smiled and looked at the other little monks: “Okay, it’s a sin!”

"Let him become a Buddha, and we will eat together."

Upon hearing this, the little monks became happy.

Shen Wan strung the marinated meat with wire and then put it on the fire to roast.

Soon, the aroma of meat filled the cold air.

"It smells so good!" Several little eyes sparkled and their saliva flowed down with greed.

Shen Wan sprinkled the roasted meat with sesame before handing it over, and warned: "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth."

Several little monks hurriedly took it and started to eat it voraciously without caring whether it was hot or not.

When was the last time you ate meat?

They have long forgotten it.

They only remember the steamed bread mixed with bran and the wild vegetables that were hard to swallow.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, Lao Chenqi's eyes turned red.

"I'll tell Master!" He curled his lips and started crying in grievance.

Shen Wan smiled and said, “It was your master who asked me to bring you out to eat.”

"Actually, if you really want to become a monk, I won't stop you, but you can't stop others from not wanting to become a monk either."

Liaochen retorted, "But we are already monks."

Xie Mubai didn't say anything, but reached out and took off the sand hat on his head.

As soon as she saw the bald little head, Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed Ran Qiu: "Look, there's a fake monk here!"

Ranqiu looked at it and smiled secretly.

"What fake monk? I am the real one!" Lechen got anxious and defended himself with a pale face.

Shen Wan poured some more porridge for the little ones and said with a smile: "Your master has a scar on his head. Do you have one?"

After hearing this, Lechen touched his little head with a puzzled look on his face.

"What does having incense scars have to do with being a monk?" he asked in confusion.

When these words came out, Ling Xiaoxiao almost laughed out loud.

"Ouch, I can't take it anymore, my stomach!" She leaned directly on Shen Wan and said with a smile, "Sister, please rub it for me, my intestines are about to break from laughing!"

"If a monk doesn't have a scar on his head, what kind of monk is he?"

Seeing her leaning on someone else in such an ungraceful manner, Black Hawk's face turned a little ugly.

Xie Mubai didn't give her a good look. He grabbed the girl and pushed her hard.

Afraid that she would fall, Black Hawk quickly reached out and hugged her.

Ling Xiaoxiao became angry and embarrassed.

She pushed Black Hawk away and immediately complained to Shen Wan, “Sister, why is my brother-in-law so fierce? Does he have a tendency to violence?”

hateful!

If he dares to push her, she will make his life difficult!

How could Shen Wan not know what the villain was thinking?

Needless to say, this guy is jealous again.

"Okay, don't bother with your brother-in-law." Shen Wan smiled and handed her all the newly grilled meat, "I'll apologize to you on his behalf, okay?"

"All this is for you, not for him!"

After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao became happy.

She took the skewers and started eating happily with Ranqiu.

Seeing that Black Hawk didn't have any, Ran Qiu hesitated for a moment and then handed over a string.

Black Hawk glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao and shook his head.

"Female donor, I'm really not a monk?" Seeing that they ignored him, Lechen became a little anxious.

As Shen Wan grilled the meat, she said, “Strictly speaking, not really.”

"But as long as you have Buddha in your heart, it doesn't matter whether you have those incense scars on your head."

“But do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.”

"I won't force you to eat meat, and you can't force others not to eat it."

"Besides, your fellow apprentices are not monks to begin with. Eating meat is not against the precepts at all, so you have no right to force them."

Upon hearing this, several young monks nodded vigorously.

Liaochen bit his lip and said unconvincedly, "But we still have to be monks in the end."

"That may not be the case." Shen Wan handed the roasted meat to the villain and Black Hawk, "If your master really wants you to become monks, why didn't he let you take the precepts for so long?"

"Besides, look at how skinny they are. If they are given more nourishment, do you think their health will improve?"

"It's cold now. If something unexpected happens, how can you bear it?"

Although this statement made some sense, Liaochen did not accept it.

He wants to listen to his master and become a monk.

However, he did not force anyone else, but just held the bowl of rice porridge silently.

"Eat less!" Seeing the little ones eating too much, Shen Wan hurriedly stopped them, "If you eat too much, you won't be able to digest it and your stomach will hurt."

After hearing this, the little monk begged: "Good sister, please let me eat a little more!"

"After you leave, I'll have to eat vegetarian food every day again."

Looking at their skinny little appearances, Shen Wan thought for a moment: “Sister will leave some fish meat for you and put it here.”

"It's cold now, so it won't spoil easily."

"If you're hungry, come and eat, but don't eat in the temple, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the little ones became happy.

“Sister is so nice!”

"Yes, sister must be the reincarnation of Bodhisattva!"

Listening to the praises of the little ones, Shen Wan smiled and said, "Just keep blowing it. If you continue blowing it, I'll forget my last name."

Before I knew it, it was already late.

Shen Wan placed the remaining fish in a cellar in the dilapidated house, and then returned to Mituo Temple with the few little ones.

“By the way, do you know where the Changlu Salt Field is?” After returning to the room, Shen Wan looked at the villain.

She was not familiar with the terrain here and had no choice but to ask him for help.

Xie Mubai understood and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble for Shen Yizhou?”

Shen Yizhou was an imperial envoy. If something happened at the Changlu Salt Field, he would be held responsible.
