Chapter 304 Reclining Buddha, candied haws
At the foot of Mount Sumeru, there is a town of reclining Buddha.It got its name because there is a reclining Buddha about a hundred feet to the west of the town.This reclining Buddha temple is very strange. There are Buddhas and temples, but there are no monks and nuns.When they went to Mount Sumeru before, Wang Er and Zhang Xiaofan didn't have time to visit here.Now that the great vengeance has been avenged, I have come down the mountain to enjoy leisure, so I come to this temple to take a look at the famous reclining Buddha.
The reclining Buddha stands horizontally in the north-south direction, lying on the north pillow, facing east sideways, with one arm resting on the pillow and one right leg standing upright, looking very lazy and comfortable.
The "couch" under the reclining Buddha is two feet high, and the height of the Buddha lying down is three feet (calculated based on the height of the raised knees), and the length is fifteen feet. Cracked.On the body of the reclining Buddha, some traces of repairs can be clearly seen. The new and old paint makes its color look a bit weird and fancy.
It seems that in order to protect the reclining Buddha, the reclining Buddha was enveloped by a sixteen-foot-long hall.
……
"The villagers say that this reclining Buddha has a history earlier than that of Tianyin Temple..." Zhang Xiaofan untied his knot, and obviously became much more cheerful.
"Look at him, his expression is serene, his heart is not restrained, and he is not stagnant. This Buddha statue is introverted, just like the Mona Lisa."
"What is the Mona Lisa?"
"Oh, that's a painting...it's a painter named Leonardo Da Vinci—oh, it's a painting drawn by the painters. That painting..." Wang Er smiled and told Zhang Xiaofan Let's take a look at the world famous painting "Mona Lisa", and also popularize Da Vinci, the awesome character by the way.Zhang Xiaofan was amazed when he heard it, and said sincerely: "This Da Vinci is really amazing!"
Wang Erdao: "That's right...that's a generation of wavers. Let's go, Xiaofan, it seems that my target has appeared..."
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback, he didn't understand why, and asked: "What?"
……
Wang Er smiled, pointed to his ears, and explained: "When a person is calm, the five senses are intelligent, when the spirit is calm, there is wisdom, and wisdom is able to observe..." Then, imitating the voice of a little girl, he said: "Grandpa, Why do we come here, the people here are so poor...I want to eat candied haws...Grandpa!" Another old man's voice: "Eating too much candied haws will lose my teeth!" The little girl: "Bad grandpa, don't you give it to me? If you buy candied haws, they won’t cheat you for you..."
"..."
Zhang Xiaofan had an unbelievable expression on his face, looking at Wang Er with surprise in his eyes.This is simply too incredible.
Why can't he hear anything himself?
Only the surrounding noise.
……
Wang Erdao: "Listen to the movement, there should be several miles away from here, and we won't be here for a while. Let's go, let's get ready to sell candied haws!"
What do you mean by "there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it"?This is!He just got off Mount Sumeru, and with the idea of meeting the grandparents and grandchildren, the grandparents and grandchildren took the initiative to send them to their door—unfortunately, this town is too small, not to mention the sellers of candied haws, even those who sell sesame seed cakes. Less than one... When Wang Er heard that the little girl wanted candied haws, his heart moved and he had this idea.
Zhang Xiaofan said "ah", and asked, "Second Uncle, what is candied haws?"
"Candied haws are just...forget it, you'll know when you make it!"
Don't look at this thing as simple.If you haven't seen it, it's really hard to describe... Anyway, I have to start work, so there is no need to give Zhang Xiaofan a direct idea.Wang Er took Zhang Xiaofan out of the reclining Buddha's hall, found a shop to buy some candy, and bought some fruits - most of them are local seasonal fruits, and some are hawthorn and crabapple.Because the town is not big, I only bought a few of everything... But, it is enough to deal with a small ring.
It's just a five or six-year-old little girl's film, and she can't eat much!
Then, the two used some money to borrow the kitchen of a family.Wang Er boiled the sugar, and specially added some sweet and sour fruit pulp, which made the color and taste of the sugar extraordinarily attractive.Zhang Xiaofan helped with cleaning and putting on bamboo sticks... After a long while, a thick wrapped stick was filled with candied haws.
"Carry it!" Wang Er directly handed over the physical work to Zhang Xiaofan, and took Zhang Xiaofan out leisurely.While wandering leisurely in the street with square steps, from time to time, he would say "sugar - gourd"...
These three words are full of cadence and rhythm.Sounds like a professional.
……
Zhang Xiaofan carried the candied haws on his shoulder with his left hand, and grabbed a bunch of them with his right hand. When he took a bite, the candy was crispy, and the flesh was sweet and sour. It was the first time he tasted candied haws, and he felt that this candied haws...that's what happened.But he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Senior sister must like this sweet and sour taste." When the young man thought of these thoughts, his heart felt dark... In order to get revenge, he left Qingyun, but now he can't go back.As the second uncle said, how can there be so many best of both worlds in this world?
This town is really poor.
The cries of candied haws attracted many children, but no adult was willing to spend a lot of money to buy a bunch.
However, a group of greedy children surrounded the two of them and followed them all the way, unwilling to disperse.A woman dragged away a crying child by force, beating and cursing, and the child begging for candied haws while crying.Zhang Xiaofan felt a little unsteady, so he wanted to take a bunch and give it to the child, but he raised his hand, and was stopped by Wang Er.
Wang Er asked him: "There are so many children, you gave this one, will you give the others? These candied gourds, even if they are distributed by each person in a bunch, it is not enough. What about those who can't get it?"
Zhang Xiaofan said: "But..."
"You can give it to him in private, don't let him say anything, and don't let other children know." Wang Er pointed out.
"I understand." Zhang Xiaofan nodded.
Wang Er asked, "What do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaofan said: "Give it in private, other children won't be jealous."
……
The two wandered all the way to the intersection where Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan would definitely pass, and stopped there.Insert the candied haws pole on the ground, it is obviously hard ground, but it is like tofu, and it is submerged by one-third. The two sat on the stone under the tree at the entrance of the village, and then they did not say a word. Shouting "candied haws", "sweet and sour candied haws", "..." In the distance, two figures, one large and one small, appeared, Wang Er pointed his chin, and said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Look, here we come." But he whistled naturally, and when the tune changed, it became a saliva song——
It's the song about candied haws being sour or sweet.It's completely out of feeling, on a whim.And when he heard the cries of "candied haws" from afar, that little figure became excited all of a sudden, expelled the exhaustion from walking all the way, and ran away holding Zhou Yixian's hand...
"Grandpa, candied haws..."
Zhou Xian: ...
