Chapter 190 Shouldn’t you be happy that she left you?
"Since what?"
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Jiang Wan and the others were all very confused.
Especially the dining hall was empty, and I didn’t see many people eating there.
"I heard from fellow practitioners that our temple has been in financial difficulty since our master picked up many children and brought them home to raise."
Yayoi immediately waved her hands and explained, "I'm not saying that Master is bad at raising children, I was also picked up by Master.
It was the villagers at the foot of the mountain. They abandoned their first child at the back door of the temple. The master was kind-hearted and took the child back to raise him.
As time went by, those people who couldn't afford to raise children, or gave birth to girls, would throw them to our temple, and the master would accept everyone."
Yayoi looked angry when he mentioned the villagers. Although he was also abandoned here, he still could not forgive his parents for abandoning him.
"So that's how it is. We have misunderstood Abbot Mingde. He is actually a kind man."
Madam Song murmured, and Song Jiuli and others felt even more ashamed.
"Abbot Mingde is truly kind and benevolent. We admire him."
“…”
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."
Song Jiuyuan apologized for what he had just said, Mingde was indeed worthy of his respect.
Yayoi waved her hands in embarrassment, "You didn't understand the situation before, and misunderstandings are common. The abbot never cares about these rumors."
"What about the children who grew up in your temple?"
Jiang Wan was a little curious. Abbot Mingde looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old. The first child he picked up must have grown up by now.
Hearing this, Yayoi became even more worried, “Some of the men stayed in the temple to become monks, but some were sent down the mountain by the master, and the abbot said that they were still attached to the world.
As for the women, most of them returned to normal life, and the few who did leave the worldly world were sent by the abbot to a nearby nunnery.
The brothers all knew that life in the temple was difficult, so when they grew up they went out to beg for alms.”
The temple is not very popular. If it weren't for the senior brothers, they wouldn't even be able to afford food.
Seeing the wrinkles on Yayoi's face, Jiang Wan couldn't help but tease, "Then you must be very intelligent."
"How did the donor know?"
Yayoi's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Jiang Wan in shock. His master had said that he was quite intelligent, so he shaved his head in advance.
"I calculated it."
Jiang Wan had a mysterious expression on her face, causing everyone to burst out laughing.
Yayoi was a little confused and didn't understand what they were laughing at. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mingde not far away.
The distance was quite far, so he couldn't hear what everyone said clearly. He just walked over and smiled gently.
"How are the meals for the donors?"
"Oh, not bad, not bad."
Song Jiuchi sat down hurriedly, drank the wild vegetable soup in front of him in one gulp, and smiled at Mingde, but in fact he didn't even taste it.
Song Jiuli also quickly followed suit, and no one complained about the shabby breakfast anymore.
Jiang Wan quietly tugged at Song Jiuyuan's sleeve and whispered, "Song Jiuyuan, let's donate some food and incense money."
She has so many things in her space that she doesn't need this at all.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Song Jiuyuan's heart moved. Wanwan was so kind, he must support her.
The two of them also sat down and finished their own vegetarian meals. Mingde smiled and said:
"I have asked my disciples in the mountain to deliver the prescription to the foot of the mountain. Kong Wu will be able to drink the medicine soon."
Mingde regretted that he did not have enough money, so he could only get four doses of medicine first. The rest of the medicine could only be purchased after receiving their room fee.
"Very good, once you get the medicine, you can't stop."
Jiang Wan nodded. As long as Kong Wu followed the prescription she gave, he would definitely get better soon.
Upon hearing this, Mingde did not join them either. He wanted to lead his disciples in morning lessons.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and neither of them stayed. But after returning to the guest room, Jiang Wan asked Qingshan to take out their food.
She also asked Qiu Niang and Lu Shui to steam a lot of buns. While no one was paying attention, Jiang Wan secretly put some food out from the space.
When they were ready, Ren Bang and his team were about to set off, and he found Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan.
“Chen Ce and his wife are unable to move around easily, and I believe that the prince and princess will not let them escape.
So I would like to ask the prince and princess to take them away for a few days, and then return to the team when his wife is better."
He was in a hurry to get on with his journey, but he didn't have time to wait too long.
After coming here last night, he heard that Madam Chen had suffered another heavy bleeding, which was really horrible.
Besides, that family has a close relationship with the prince and princess, so he is willing to do them a favor.
"Okay, Brother Ren, you can go without worry, I will take care of them."
Jiang Wan was very satisfied with this. If Madam Chen continued to travel as fast as before, she would collapse sooner or later.
Ren Bang naturally trusted them. He paid the rent to Abbot Mingde and led the large group away.
Before leaving, Jiang Wan asked Qiu Niang to stuff a sack of steamed buns into their mouths, which made Mingde feel very sad.
His eyes fell on the steaming steamer and his Adam's apple rolled slightly because he was hungry.
The only remaining vegetarian meal in their temple was given to them. If I had known...
"Abbot Mingde."
Jiang Wan said with a smile: "We have steamed a lot of buns, please ask the children and the young masters in the temple to come and eat."
"What?!"
Master Mingde didn't expect Jiang Wan to say this, and his eyes turned slightly red with emotion.
"I would like to thank all the donors on behalf of the children. You are good people. Buddha will bless you."
"You're welcome."
Song Jiuyuan knew that Jiang Wan didn't know how to answer, so he took the initiative to call out to Yayoi who was stunned beside him.
"Yayoi, go call someone."
Yayoi subconsciously looked at Master Mingde, and only until Mingde nodded slightly did he excitedly run away with his legs stretched out.
Qi Chu also got up at this time. Looking at the yard full of food, she was a little dazed.
"Why did you get so much food today?"
She stretched lazily, causing Song Jiuchi to retort, "Of course it's for eating, you really can sleep.
It’s already noon and you’re just getting up.”
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Qi Chu snorted. She had a very sound sleep and felt that her body, which had caught a cold a few days ago, had almost recovered.
Jiang Wan smiled and explained for her, "Qi Chu is going to part ways with us today.
She wanted to go home to spend the New Year with her family, so I didn't call her so that she could get enough sleep before traveling."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiuchi opened his mouth in surprise, obviously not expecting Qi Chu to leave suddenly.
Mrs. Song, on the other hand, agreed very much and she held Qi Chu's hand lovingly.
"Chu Chu has thought it through. On such a good day as the New Year, your parents will definitely want you to be by their side."
"Well, I'll leave after breakfast."
Qi Chu was very optimistic. He ate some steamed buns casually and went to pack his luggage.
Looking at her back, Song Jiuchi couldn't help but mutter, "Liar!"
"Brother, don't you dislike Chuchu the most? Are you unhappy that she left you?"
Song Jiuli teased with a smile, causing Song Jiuchi to glare at her fiercely.
"Song Jiuli, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
"puff……"
Song Jiuli tried hard to hold back her smile. Not only her, but everyone else was also in a dilemma and was trying hard not to laugh out loud.
