People came into the courtyard, but the old monk didn't get up; he just looked up at the person who came in.
A little girl, a little girl who knows martial arts, a little girl who is interested in the scriptures in her hands.
Seeing the old monk scrutinizing her, Liu Shiyue didn't hesitate and gave him a faint, harmless smile.
Then he said very politely, "Greetings, Master. I've heard that you have some osmanthus seeds here. Would you be so kind as to give me some?"
Liu Shile was never one to beat around the bush; she would get what she wanted first and then talk about other things.
The old monk immediately found the little girl quite interesting.
He clearly became interested in the scriptures in his hands, but instead asked for the seeds.
Most importantly, what she wanted was the seed of the Double Osmanthus tree, which was the most prestigious tree in the temple.
He loved flowers and collected all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees in the temple, as long as they had seeds.
"The little girl likes plants?" The old monk asked curiously. Shouldn't a girl this age like to dress up?
Liu Shile smiled and shook her head, "Compared to other things, plants are the cutest."
After all, I've been dealing with plants for so many years, and they've even sustained me. How could I not like them?
The old monk nodded slightly, said nothing more, and simply told her to wait before returning to his room.
After a while, he took out a large bag and said with a smile, "These are all seeds. Little girl, take them all."
The circumstances are different now, and the old monk doesn't think these seeds will have any use in the temple.
It was rare to encounter someone bold enough to love plants and come asking for seeds, so I simply gave her all of them.
Liu Shile didn't expect the old monk to be so generous, giving her a big bag of things. Could this be considered owing the old monk a favor?
She also hoped to have the opportunity to learn the scriptures from this old monk.
She received so many books last time, almost all of which contained this kind of writing. If she could learn how to write them, she would have another way to pass the time.
One downside of small cities is that libraries don't have many books.
For most of the semester, Liu Shile spent most of her time in the school library.
She had almost finished reading all the books in the library, so for the next year or so, she would have to figure out how to pass the time on her own.
So she took the large bag of seeds but didn't leave. Instead, she asked the old monk about the words in the scriptures.
The old monk was taken aback. He thought the little girl was interested in the scriptures, but it turned out she was interested in the words on the scriptures.
His scripture is one of the oldest books in the temple, and it was well preserved even during the war.
That is the oldest Sanskrit script, so not many people can understand it.
Let alone outsiders, even the monks in the temple don't all understand it.
The old monk also had disciples, but unfortunately their aptitude was very average, so they found it very difficult to learn these scriptures.
Although the girl in front of him was just a young girl, the old monk was still delighted.
Instead of speaking like an old fogey and saying he wouldn't tell outsiders, he seriously started communicating with Liu Shile.
Liu Shile has a photographic memory, but he doesn't recognize this Sanskrit script.
When the old monk explained it to her, she understood instantly.
So the old man and the young boy taught each other and learned together, almost forgetting the time.
It was only when the young monk came in to bring his master food that the two were awakened.
The old monk apologized and then asked the young monk to take Liu Shile to eat vegetarian food, which Liu Shile did not refuse.
She hasn't finished learning all the words in one of the scriptures yet; she has to continue studying after she finishes eating.
However, she didn't forget that she wasn't alone, and she told the old monk, feeling quite embarrassed.
The old monk was not surprised and simply told them to go ahead.
Liu Shile, who was following the young monk, understood that the old monk probably held a high position in the temple.
Otherwise, given how popular the vegetarian food at the temple is these days, people like them who didn't make reservations in advance wouldn't be able to get a meal.
When Liu Shiguo met up with his two older brothers and took them to eat vegetarian food, he was very surprised.
He had originally planned to take his younger siblings to eat vegetarian food, but when they arrived, they said there was no more available that day.
As a result, her sister directly led them into the private room in the backyard?
The private room was quiet, and Liu Shiguo couldn't help but ask, "Lele, how did you do that?"
Liu Shile didn't hide anything, only saying that she liked the two osmanthus trees in the temple, so she asked someone for seeds.
Then she met an old monk and they hit it off immediately. She asked the old monk for advice, and then he invited her to eat vegetarian food.
"Second sister, you don't mean you want to become a nun, do you?" Perhaps it was because his eldest brother gave Liu Shiping confidence, so he spoke without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiguo and Liu Shihua both frowned and scolded, "Shiping, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Your second sister is just very studious; you should learn from her and never forget to study, understand?
Their sister is so beautiful, she'll get married and have children in the future, why would she become a nun?
This Shi Ping is so insensible, how could she talk about her own sister like that?
Liu Shiping shrank back as the two men yelled at him. He responded verbally, but he didn't really care.
That's true. If a young woman asks a monk for scriptures, what else would she want to do if not become a nun?
I must say, the vegetarian food here is really delicious; even someone like Liu Shile, who loves meat, really enjoys it.
The vegetarian tofu, in particular, was absolutely amazing; it almost made Liu Shile swallow her tongue.
Not only her, but even Liu Shiping, who looked down on vegetarian food the most, ate until his belly was round and he kept burping.
After finishing her meal, Liu Shile didn't rest. She told her two older brothers and made an appointment with them before running back to find the old monk.
The old monk had only given the little girl a casual lesson because he noticed her interest in Sanskrit.
However, after discovering that she had a photographic memory, he had the idea of taking her on as a disciple.
It's a pity the little girl is a little girl, not a little boy, otherwise I could have really taken her in as a lay disciple.
Despite the regret, the old monk did not hold back and taught the little girl Sanskrit for a long time.
When she left, the old monk gave her a booklet.
Liu Shile didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the gifts and thanking the old monk, she left with the book and seeds.
After waiting for her second sister for half the afternoon, Liu Shiping was in a bad mood.
So he looked at his second sister and thought neither her eyes nor her nose were eyes or nose.
If his older brother hadn't been there, he probably would have thrown a tantrum.
Liu Shile didn't let anyone know about the booklet. She knew some things about the future by looking up some history on her old-fashioned phone.
If people find out, she'll be in trouble when things get old and worn out.
Therefore, there are some things that she only needs to know herself, and others, even her closest brother, don't need to know them.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married daughters return to their parents' home. The eldest sister and her husband arrive carrying large and small bags, but leave empty-handed.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my eldest brother left home and returned to the capital. He will be very busy with work this year, and I estimate that he won't have time to go home for the next few years.
That's why I was able to stay for so long this time.
Liu Shiguo had a very fruitful trip home this time.
First, his hands were fully recovered; second, the hidden injuries on his body were healed; and third, his skills had greatly improved.
