Chapter 150: Really a Bodhisattva, Caught Cheating Again
Shen Chuwei was mainly hungry. If she didn't eat meat tonight, she would feel very uncomfortable and couldn't even sleep.
That's why I thought of sneaking out to catch some wild game to satisfy my craving.
This is the back mountain, and it is difficult for sunlight to shine in during the day, so the snow has not melted.
She walked deeper into the snow and came to a tree. She took out a rope from her arms, tied a knot and placed it in the snow. She reached into her sleeve pocket and took out a vegetable and placed it in the trap.
After doing all this, she took the rope and retreated behind a big tree, then squatted down and began to wait for the rabbit.
Shen Chuwei has always had good luck. After a while, a gray wild rabbit hopped over and lowered its head to nibble on the cabbage in the trap.
Shen Chuwei seized the opportunity and pulled the rope hard. When the hare realized something was wrong and wanted to run away, it was too late. Its feet were caught by the rope and it could only struggle desperately on the ground.
"There's roast rabbit to eat."
Shen Chuwei put away the rope, grabbed the rabbit's ears, and walked happily towards the river. A warm voice came from behind her.
"Donor, what are you doing?"
Shen Chuwei paused and looked back, she saw a man standing behind her with a lantern in his hand. With the light of the lantern, she could see the face of the man, it was a little monk, the little monk who gave her hot water.
She held up the rabbit in her hand and said, "I'll roast it and eat it."
Then she added, "I'll grill it outside and not eat it in the temple. Should that be okay?"
The little monk asked doubtfully, "Are you hungry, benefactor?"
Shen Chuwei hadn't eaten much for dinner, so she was of course hungry now. She nodded vigorously.
Upon hearing this, the little monk took out an oil-paper package from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Chuwei, "I have a steamed bun here, you can fill your stomach."
Shen Chuwei looked at the oil-paper bag in front of her and immediately understood what the little monk meant. He wanted her to eat the steamed bun and let the wild rabbit go.
The little monk is as good as Tang Seng~
"But I want to eat meat." She didn't want to force herself to eat cold steamed buns.
The young monk paused, took two steps forward, put his hands together and continued, "Donor, although this is outside the temple, blood is not allowed."
From ancient times to the present, there have been many rules and regulations in temples.
Shen Chuwei didn't know what to say, she lowered her head and looked at the rabbit in her hand, "Okay."
As soon as she loosened her grip, the rabbit fell to the ground and ran away quickly, for fear that if she ran too slowly, she would become the meal.
When the young monk saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Chuwei retracted her gaze. Since she couldn’t eat the roasted rabbit, she could only eat instant noodles.
"Little monk, I don't want to eat steamed bread. How about you get me some hot water?"
The little monk nodded and said, "Please follow me, benefactor."
Shen Chuwei followed the little monk back the same way, watched the little monk close the door, then turned around and continued walking.
There is a small pavilion nearby with lanterns hanging around it, emitting faint light.
While Shen Chuwei was sitting in the pavilion waiting for the little monk, she took out a bucket of instant noodles from her arms, tore open the package, and put the seasonings in one by one, except for hot water.
The little monk was very fast and came over with a kettle of hot water in a short while.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The little monk put the hot water kettle on the table, and then put the lantern on the table to make the surroundings brighter.
"You're pretty fast." Shen Chuwei impatiently reached out to grab the hot water kettle, but the little monk got there first. She raised her head and looked at the little monk in confusion.
"It's too dark in here, let me do it." The little monk picked up the hot water kettle, opened the cork, and poured the hot water into the bucket.
He poured very slowly, fearing that he would pour too much.
Shen Chuwei knew that the little monk was afraid that she would burn her hands... With the dim light, she watched the hot water overflow the dough and hurriedly called out to stop, "Little monk, it's done."
The young monk stopped his hand immediately, put the cork on the bottle, and put the hot water kettle aside.
Shen Chuwei put the lid on neatly and pressed it with her thick sleeves to make the instant noodles ready quickly.
The little monk didn't say much. He just sat opposite quietly, looking at Shen Chuwei's actions with confusion.
Shen Chu raised his eyes slightly and looked at the little monk opposite him. Seeing that he was sitting properly, he asked casually, "Why do you want to become a monk?"
The young monk answered succinctly, "My family is all gone, so my master took me in."
Shen Chuwei stared at the little monk's bald head and felt it was a pity that such a handsome young man had to become a monk and leave the worldly world.
"Being a monk is actually pretty good. There are no worries except that you can't get married."
The young monk did not answer but asked: "Why did you go out alone?"
"Because you can't eat meat in the temple." Shen Chuwei ate secretly, but of course she couldn't say that she sneaked out without Xiao Jinyan's knowledge.
The little monk paused and smiled slightly. He gently reminded, "The back door is slippery at night. It's better not to go there."
Shen Chuwei knew that the monk meant well, so she nodded and said, "You can't kill animals near a temple. I can't eat meat even if I go there. I won't go there again."
While we were chatting, the instant noodles were ready.
Shen Chuwei couldn't wait to open the lid, picked up the fork and started eating the hot noodles.
Xiao Jinyan was reading in the room when he noticed that Shen Chuwei had been out for a long time and had not come back yet. He put down the book in his hand, walked to the door, opened it and asked Wei Chi at the door, "Where is Shen Liangdi?"
Wei Chi was in charge of the prince's safety, and Shen Liangdi was the prince's woman. He did not dare to look at her for long, although he felt that she looked familiar.
"I saw Shen Liangdi walking in that direction." He pointed at the bluestone path.
Xiao Jinyan walked out with doubts, along the bluestone road, asked the guard at the station, and found a small pavilion nearby.
He looked at the two figures sitting in the pavilion, and in the dim light, he recognized at a glance that Shen Chuwei was sitting there eating.
Opposite Shen Chuwei sat a monk, and the two were talking about something.
You haven't been back for so long, it turns out you were eating secretly here.
Doesn’t that monk know that he is a monk?
Xiao Jinyan walked towards the pavilion with a sullen face.
The young monk asked, "Is it because the vegetarian food doesn't suit your appetite?"
It was only half an hour before dinner, and the way Shen Chuwei was eating clearly showed that she was hungry, so the little monk asked this question.
Shen Chuwei was eating noodles and spoke incoherently, "Well, vegetarian rice is too light. It almost tastes bland in my mouth. Meat is so delicious."
The young monk had not eaten meat since he became a monk and had already forgotten the taste of meat. Seeing Shen Chuwei's greedy look, he smiled.
"This is the temple's rule. Once the donor leaves the temple, he can eat and drink as he pleases."
"I know, it will pass if you just bear it." Shen Chuwei said, but in fact, bearing it was the most painful, as if it was tearing your heart apart.
"Shen Liangdi."
A cold and deep voice came over. The voice was so familiar that even without looking, she knew it was Xiao Jinyan.
She even forgot to chew, with two noodles still hanging in her mouth. She turned her head to look at the entrance. Under the lantern, there stood a slender figure. The pale yellow light shone on the man's beautiful face, and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
Is this angry?
