Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 304

It sounds a bit pretentious, so the child said nothing, just sat for a while and then left.

The master took her hand and walked her to the door.

It was a familiar yet slightly strange feeling, warm but rougher.

She was older now, her back bent and she walked with a limp, but she still had a kind face and would stroke her head and say, "You've grown so tall."

The child called her "Master", and all the words in her heart turned into tears and disappeared into nothingness with this sigh.

It was not until they were parting at the door that she said, "Master, come with me back to Suicheng. I'll make some more money and buy a house. Then we'll find a craftsman and ask for a statue of Yinggu. We'll continue to worship Buddha and chant sutras as before, okay? I'll buy you lots of Buddhist scriptures so you can study Buddhism. When I make more money, I'll rebuild the temple."

The child looked at the master with eyes full of anticipation.

Jinghui said with a smile, "No, Master is old and can't walk anymore. It's good here. Although there are no Buddhas to worship or scriptures to read, as long as I remember the words 'compassion' in my heart, I can practice anywhere.

Good boy, go by yourself. It's time for young people to explore the world. Eunuch Chen said that you are a capable person. Don't let God's gift go to waste. Make good use of it and take good care of yourself.

Master doesn't expect you to do anything great or become a god, he only hopes you can live a happy life."

"I am very happy when you are with me."

The child lowered his eyes and said dejectedly.

Master Jingneng laughed at her: "You are so old but still have the temper of a child. You only know how to act like a spoiled brat."

Nun Jingchi put her arm around her shoulders and roughly wiped the tears from her face. She said unhappily, "Why are you crying? It's not like we're parting forever. If I had known you were like a stickler, sticking to me and not getting rid of me, I would have taken you with me to avoid causing trouble for others."

When talking about this, the child felt a little guilty.

She didn't like the Liu family, not because they were bad, but because she didn't want to have a child for them.

So it caused a lot of trouble.

When her family finally severed their ties and they separated, she admittedly felt a little lost about the future, but she was also truly relieved.

It is always sad to see each other dislike each other.

The old nuns hadn't seen her for a long time, but from her expression, they could still guess that she must have done something terrible.

Jingchi could only sigh.

She is very different now. Her bad temper has subsided a lot. She even tells her children, "No matter what happens, we are all responsible. We can't put all the blame on you."

These were the true words of the old nuns. They left in such a hurry that they had no time to think carefully. Even though the child was extremely unhappy, they still did what they thought was good for her.

Later, I met many people and many things on the road. I saw children with both parents living like orphans, and I also saw the joy of mothers and daughters who depended on each other. Only then did I realize that some benefits are not necessary to see.

On the contrary, it is what is invisible that is most important.

It was time to listen to the child. She definitely wasn't sincere about wanting to become a nun, so what she really wanted to say was, "I want to be with you forever."

It's not that they completely didn't understand what she meant, they just thought that she would gradually forget, that that would be best for her, and they also thought... the temple was gone and she was no longer needed.

After all, old nuns are human beings, not gods, and they will make mistakes.

By the time they began to face up to the matter, it was too late to regret.

How many people in the world can protect women like Yinggu, regardless of gains and losses and without asking for anything in return?

They couldn't do it before, so they hope to be able to do it in the future.

The child shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. I did it all myself, and I know it was wrong."

It was she who brought back the dragon egg and it was she who let the pig run away. She never obeyed anyone and never appreciated their kindness. This had nothing to do with anyone. It was just because she was born an unsatisfied bad kid. Her master and the others didn't hold her hands or grab her feet, and she never did anything bad. How could she blame them?

The child did blame them, but she blamed them for not taking her away.

But actually... the child is just a disobedient apprentice, not their child, so why do they have to take her with them?

The old nuns don't think so.

"You are the child we raised. No matter what mistakes you make, if you get one point, we get nine points."

Jinghui said, "Everyone makes mistakes, and it's inevitable that people will criticize them. That's nothing to be afraid of. What's scary is being wrong but not daring to admit it. Have you ever admitted it?"

The child said nothing.

"We are too old to go back. If you can still go back, remember to make amends. If you can't make amends, at least don't make the same mistake again."

The old nuns like a saying very much, which goes: Everything in the past is like death yesterday, and everything in the future is like birth today.

But how can this be done?

Can't we just forget everything we've done?

That is not seeking a future, but just hiding aside cowardly, unwilling to stay in the old days, and unable to step into the new life.

"Good boy, go ahead. Your life is your own. No one can help you. Don't do it for anyone else. Only you can fill in what's missing in your heart. No one else can help you."

Jinghui poked her chest and pushed her forward.

The child didn't understand what she was saying.

I walked forward a few steps following the force, and when I turned around, my master was still standing there, with his hands clasped together and chanting the Buddha's name.

She seemed to have said everything, yet also seemed to have said nothing.

Is there really something missing in her heart?

what is it then?

The children couldn't understand why. As the carriage went farther and farther away, their figures shrank into a tiny dot. Their heads were shaved so cleanly that they were still reflecting light.

The child stopped the car, ran back, and tugged at his master's sleeve, saying, "Master, you really won't leave with me? I don't know when we'll see each other again."

Jinghui was shocked and said, "How could that be? We are in your heart, aren't we meeting you every day?"

Children won't buy this.

She looked at the children who had stayed in the temple but were hiding, their heads exposed, looking at them and said, "Is it because of them?"

"Not at all."

“Are they better than me?”

"You are you, why compare yourself with others?"

"Because... everyone likes good kids."

"Well, that's true. Most people are like that," Jinghui said, without refutation. "But how can things go so smoothly?"

If you raise a child, she must be well-behaved and sensible. She will listen to everything the adults say and be lively. She can be clever and likable, and never be naughty. The family does not need to worry about her. She is fair and cute when she is young, and very beautiful when she grows up. She can earn money to support the family, and can fry, stir-fry, and cook at home. She can do everything. When she reaches the age of a flower, she will find a good husband. Her parents-in-law will treat her as their own daughter, her husband will love her, and her children will be filial to her. Everyone she meets says that her children are exactly the same as she was when she was a child, and they will definitely be right when she grows up.

The family saves worry and outsiders are envious. Who doesn’t want a child like this?

But is it true?

Maybe.

Jinghui and her friends also met a monster along the way. It was a dough figurine that looked like whatever shape it was made of. No one knew which wandering ghost possessed it, but it became a monster. Even the child was just a monster that crawled out of her belly.

Although he is very young, he acts like an adult and is quite lucky. He brings home some good things every few days.

As for the family, they benefited from it and almost treated the mother and son as reincarnated gods.

Later, someone exposed them, and the mother and son ran away, leaving only a dough figurine's skin on the ground. The immortal master who exposed them cried out in dismay, repeatedly saying:

"It's bad, it's bad! They've already tasted the greed and evil in people's hearts, and they won't stop easily. I'm afraid they'll hurt more people!"

She flew over a cloud to chase him, but was dragged down and beaten by her own family and husband's family, who were filled with rage. They told her to compensate for her good daughter, good wife, good granddaughter and good baby.

The immortal master had no money and didn't want to hurt anyone, so he was finally beaten to death with one leg broken, one eye gouged out, and thrown into a pit of rocks.

The old nuns had to work very hard to pull her up.

She still didn't understand why those people refused to listen to her even though they had seen it with their own eyes.

All the benefits those two monsters provided them were obtained by sucking the luck of others.

The purpose is to foster their greed and evil thoughts and savor them. This is harming people. Why don’t they understand?

The old nuns were speechless. After a long silence, they said to her, "Perhaps it's not that they don't understand, but the greed in the heart of the human heart is endless. The monster is harming people, and it's also true that they have gained benefits. How can they give up so easily? Besides, they have been talking for so long, they must have developed feelings for her."
