Chapter 135 Lost in the Mountains
"Sister, is it enough to eat?"
Lin Yanzhi saw that the little girl was eating so happily even though she had split her chopsticks.
Even the rice grains at the corners of his mouth are not spared.
He thought she didn't have enough to eat.
The monks in Huguo Temple usually eat little. Every time they get a meal, no matter who they are, they only get a fist-sized amount.
Two or three slices of winter melon, four or five pieces of tofu, and not many bean sprouts.
The meal is small and the vegetables are vegetarian.
Even though everyone in the dining hall seems to have no complaints now, once the lights are turned off and everyone goes to sleep, they will all start to feel hungry.
The little girl only ate a steamed bun given by Chang Ge'er in the carriage at noon.
As I climbed up the mountain in the evening, my stomach started growling.
This bowl of rice is almost empty, but I still feel like I haven't eaten anything.
My sister lowered her head and touched her belly carefully, then raised her head and said with a smile: "I still want to eat."
She really didn't have enough to eat.
Lin Yanzhi asked the little girl for chopsticks and transferred the untouched half of the food in his bowl to hers.
If he uses her chopsticks, the food he eats won't have his saliva on it.
But the remaining rice in her bowl will be hers.
But he didn't mind.
"Eat it."
Lin Yanzhi is particularly concerned about this.
First of all, she is my younger sister.
Secondly, she was alone in the women's dormitory, and her three brothers couldn't take care of her, so they couldn't help but worry.
The kang in the living quarters of Huguo Temple was so high that Qiqi couldn’t climb up.
I don’t know if the little girl can do it on her own.
After eating, you have to wash your own dishes.
Lin Yanzhi still didn't let his sister do it and helped her wash the dishes.
At this time, it was completely dark.
The wind on the mountain is cold, and strange animal howls can often be heard in the woods behind the mountain.
There were no stars on the winter night. Looking towards the mountain behind, all I could see was pitch black. The sky and the earth merged into one color, and the shape of the mountain was invisible.
Who dares to go to the back mountain to steal food?
I can only find time to go there secretly during the day.
Just after one morning, the greedy little cats from the two academies couldn't hold back any longer.
We have to get up before dawn to chant scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures with the monks in the temple.
Breakfast only consisted of a steamed bun and a bowl of clear soup.
After eating their steamed buns, students over ten years old went into the mountains to hunt with their teachers.
Those ten years old and under were left in the temple to play by themselves.
Changger and Yanger were also not allowed to enter the mountain, so they took their two younger brothers and sisters to walk around the entire Huguo Temple.
He ran to peek at the abbot meditating, and then ran to watch the monks practicing martial arts.
I did everything I could see and play, and realized it was not yet noon.
The four little ones were already starving before the mealtime in the dining hall.
Several elementary school students from Yingtian Academy also shared the same feeling.
But they carried their bags in their arms and quietly went to the back mountain.
The four of them stood in a row and watched with their own eyes the people from Yingtian Academy sneaking into the mountains, wondering what they were thinking.
At this time, the young monks in the temple went back to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures.
Other monks were still cooking in the kitchen.
The teachers went hunting and would not be back until evening.
The entire Huguo Temple was empty.
It's the perfect time to sneak into the mountains and steal some food.
The two kids were inexperienced and when they saw the people from Yingtian Academy heading towards the back mountain, they had no idea what they were doing.
My sister pointed at the disappearing figures and asked, "Brother Yanzhi, are there any houses left in the mountains? Where did they go?"
Lin Yanzhi replied: "They went to steal food."
He lowered his head, raised his eyebrows with a smirk, and asked, "Sister, do you want to eat meat?"
The little girl understood immediately, "I know, Mom brought me instant noodles, I want to eat!"
The last time Chang Ge'er and Yan Ge'er went to modern times, they ate instant noodles.
Stunning!
But their godmother didn't let them eat too much.
Now when they heard that Qiqi and Xuxu brought instant noodles, their eyes lit up at the same time.
"Godmother brought you some instant noodles!" Lin Yanzhi squatted down and excitedly grabbed the little girl's shoulders. "Sister, can you share a bowl with me? I'll trade you some braised beef!"
The little girl held up four fingers and said, "Mom brought me four."
Shen Huaichang looked at his brother, "As expected, do you have one too?"
If only the younger sister brought four, they wouldn't have the heart to ask her for them.
My brother nodded and said, "Yes, Mom also brought us some sausages."
Lin Yanzhi was very excited. "I'll go to the dining hall to ask the young master for a pot of hot water. You guys go back to the dormitory to get some food. We'll meet in the back mountain!"
The four of them acted separately.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Back mountain.
In the deep winter, the grass behind Huguo Temple is withered and the trees are yellow. The jungle is no longer lush, with only bare tree trunks.
The four of them walked on the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground and went deeper.
If you are caught eating secretly, you will be punished by meditating and chanting scriptures.
"That's enough. We'll get lost if we go any further." said Chang Ge'er.
He and Yanzhi had been having an affair in this place for the past two years, and they were familiar with the area.
Further in, it is a strange place.
"Sister, take out the noodles." Lin Yanzhi asked Xu to open the bundle.
The water in the kettle is a little cold. If I don’t make some tea now, it will get cold.
But before the two kids could take out the instant noodles hidden in their clothes, they heard footsteps behind them.
There is also a conversation between the two.
"They must have come here to steal food. I'm going to catch them myself and take them back to see the Master!"
"Yes! Catch them! We will be the head disciple next year!"
From the voice, the four couldn't tell who it was.
I don’t know whether it is from Baima Academy or Yingtian Academy.
However, the position of disciple leader is usually held by students from the upper dormitory.
Yan'er and Chang'er had just been promoted to the inner dormitory and were not familiar with the people in the upper dormitory.
But no matter who they are, they can't be caught!
Yan'er and Chang'er looked at each other and immediately took the bags for their two younger brothers and sisters.
Chang Ge'er shouted, "As expected, run!"
The four of them ran deep into the mountains.
The two kids didn’t understand much, but as long as they were running in the mountains, they treated it as playing.
I'm so happy.
The four of them were in a panic and had no idea where to go. As luck would have it, they happened to meet three people from Yingtian Academy who had entered the mountain earlier than them.
The three people from Yingtian Academy were hiding behind a rock and gnawing on chicken legs.
Seeing the four people suddenly appear, both sides were stunned.
Lin Yanzhi didn't have time to figure out who they were. Feeling a sense of sympathy, he shouted to the three of them, "Run! Someone's coming up the mountain to catch us stealing food!"
When the three heard this, they hugged the roast chicken tightly in their hands and started running.
The Huguo Temple was built halfway up the mountain, with a whole mountain range behind it.
Because of the existence of the Huguo Temple, no one has set foot on this back mountain all year round.
When the two academies went hunting, they would not go deep into the mountains.
The seven people who stole the food and fled were so frightened that they lost their way while running.
Even more unfortunate!
It started raining!
The kettle in Lin Yanzhi's hand hit a tree trunk and broke into pieces while he was running away.
Now they couldn't find a way down the mountain, so they could only find a place to shelter from the rain temporarily.
"Don't be afraid, sister. I will definitely take you back!"
Lin Yanzhi took off his clothes and covered the little girl's head with them to protect her from the rain.
Shen Huaichang also gave his clothes to Ruqi to keep him out of the rain.
"There's a cave there!" shouted the people from Yingtian Academy.
Several others heard the sound and looked over.
It's not actually a cave, it's just an arc-shaped groove left after a stone loosened and fell off.
But it can hide from the rain!
