Chapter 005
In the next few days, Lin Wan, who had little arms and legs, seemed to be trying to prove herself, and she really started to find something to do in the temple.
Although she really can't help much now, she can always find something within her ability and help sweep the floor and pick dishes.
When there is really nothing to do, I will sit alone in the back mountain and quietly watch the crowds coming and going at the foot of the mountain.
This kind of Lin Wan made everyone in the temple feel very distressed.
Wutong even had time to take Lin Wan's hand to go to the temple fair, and used the only copper coins he had on his body to buy some small things to make Lin Wan happy.
The temple fair makes the foot of Daqing Mountain more lively than the New Year.
In addition to the pilgrims who came to Chongfu Temple to incense, more people nearby were the people.
They either come to the temple fair with their own fields or with handmade products, just to take this opportunity to add some benefits to their homes.
The Ye family who was hit by Wutong that day was one of them.
The Ye family was not from Qingzhou Prefecture, but a refugee who fled from Shu to Qingzhou Prefecture five years ago.
Five years ago, a big earth shaking caused countless people in Shu to destroy their families.
Ye Damin originally had three brothers, and Ye Damin was the eldest, and the other two younger brothers lived separately after they got married.
The two younger brothers' house was directly hidden by mudslides caused by earth movements, and all the families were killed.
Because Ye Damin's family was far away from the mountains, the family was fortunate to escape, but their houses, property and land were not spared from being hidden in the mudslide.
In order to continue living with the family, Ye Damin and Ye Dafa decided to escape from Shu after some discussion.
Taking Ye Damin and Ye Daddy to sacrifice their lives to dig out of the mud, the family left Shu and headed north, and the hardships could not be expressed in words.
In the end, Master Huineng helped him to cut off the remaining pair of golden lilacs, bought a piece of hillside and finally settled a house in Hongfeng Village.
During that escape, Ye Damin and his wife lost their daughter Ye Tian, who was the second son Ye Zhan.
Since the Ye family settled in Hongfeng Village, every April, Ye Damin and his wife Wu would always take the temple fairs from the ground of Daqing Mountain and go to the temple fairs under Daqing Mountain to do handmade things.
Although the profits are not too much each time, it is also a benefit in the Ye family, and there will be unexpected gains, and gradually life will be restored...
This year, my family made plans and arrangements early, but the temple fair was nearly half, but the Ye family never became a temple fair.
The reason lies in Ye Shen, the youngest son of Ye Damin.
One day at the end of March, four-year-old Ye Shen accidentally fell into the water while playing. Although he was rescued in time, he was frightened and cold. He suddenly had a convulsion in the middle of the night. He didn't know how high the fever did not fade. The whole family's energy was on him, so no one had the heart to go to the temple fair.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, seeing Ye Shen's fever finally subsided, the person became much more energetic, and the whole family felt relieved.
Before going to bed, the family sat in the main hall chatting. Thinking of the shrunken purse at home, the debts owed outside and the food that had already come to an end, the Ye family's grandma Chen mentioned the matter of going to the temple fair.
As the head of the family, Mr. Ye glanced at his wife, drooped his eyelids and placed the wooden pole and cigarette blaster in his hand beside his mouth. After a long time, he raised his eyelids and looked at his son Ye Damin and asked: "It's really time to go to the temple. What are you planning to bring tomorrow?"
Ye Damin looked up at his father, and happened to meet the cigarette pole and shriveled cigarette pipe in his father Ye's hand. He had a strong sense of guilt in his eyes. Thinking of the distress at home, he felt a little moved. After he hesitating for a moment, he said, "I will bring bamboo and rattan embroidery products, and I want to pick more fruits... Well, I will pick the fruits of the two cherry trees in the backyard. Dad, do you think this is the case?"
"Okay, although the trees in the field have grown a lot of fruits this year, they are not as good as the two fruits in the backyard. Let's start tomorrow." Dad Ye paused for a moment and then put the cigarette gun in his mouth and sucked it.
There is no tobacco in the smoke gun, so it is naturally impossible to have smoke. Dad Ye is just a pleasure to talk.
Reason flashed in Ye Damin's eyes again. His lifelong hobby was to smoke dry tobacco occasionally. For the sake of Ye Shen's illness, his father Ye forced the remaining tobacco to the barefoot doctor who had the same hobby as him.
Ye Damin's big hand on his knees couldn't help but tighten, and his heart became more determined to make the decision he made temporarily.
Some fruit trees were planted in the Ye family's yard and in the fields, most of which were cherry trees.
The two cherry trees in the backyard are Master Ye’s masterpieces. Mr. Ye has put a lot of effort into these two cherry trees.
This is the season when cherries are ripe. The two cherry trees in the backyard bear big and ripe fruits, so they should be able to sell for a good price.
"Tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday, and it has always been the day with the most people in the temple fair. If Brother Kan goes with you, he can help you." After a moment of silence, Dad Ye said again.
Brother Kan is Ye Zhan, the second son of Ye Damin. He is eleven years old this year. He is a lively, cheerful and clever boy. He is whispering something to his brother Ye Qing when he suddenly heard Dad Ye mention that he hurriedly stopped and sat upright.
When he realized that he could go to the temple fair with his parents tomorrow, he immediately became more and more handsome.
"I want to go too, I want to go too!" Suddenly a tender voice sounded, and the person who spoke was a boy about four years old, Ye Shen, the youngest son of Ye Damin.
Because I had just had a serious illness, my face looked a little pale, but I was in good spirits. My eyes were shining with a longing light and looked at Dad Ye and Ye Damin.
"No, your body is better, and you can't be affected by the cold anymore. My dear grandson, listen to my grandson, I won't go this time. I'll treat you completely well, and my grandson will take you alone!" The grandson of the Ye family hugged the little grandson who was swaying in his arms and vetoed him very firmly.
Ye Shen curled his lips and twisted his head away from the medicine that his mother Wu sent to his mouth. He pouted his mouth and looked at Chen with wet eyes and said, "My uncle said yesterday that as long as I no longer have a fever, he would take me to Chongfu Temple to fulfill his wish. I no longer have a fever today. Grandpa An said that I am already cured, why can't I go tomorrow?"
As he said that, crystal tears fell one after another.
"Oh, my good grandson, don't cry, don't cry." Chen was most disgusted by the little grandson, and hurriedly coaxed, persuaded and promised: "Is this good? Let's look at it for another day and make sure that my good grandson will no longer have fever and cough. The next day... The next day milk will take you there, and then the milk will buy you your favorite candied haws."
But Ye Shen, who used to love sugar, resisted the temptation from candied haws and insisted on going to the temple fair.
Dad Ye is also a person who loves his younger generation. He naturally loves Ye Shen, the youngest grandson, in his daily life. At this moment, when he saw his grandson's tears falling like broken pearls, he reached out to hug Ye Shen from his wife's arms and patiently persuaded him.
Ye Shen, who was always sensible and obedient, was not coaxed today. No matter how he coaxed him, he couldn't coax him well. Although he closed his tears, he stubbornly muttered to go to the temple fair, as if something bad would happen if he didn't follow him. Finally, Dad Ye made a decision when he felt soft and looked at Chen and said, "What did Lao An say today?"
Lao An is the barefoot doctor in the village. This time, Ye Shen was treated by this doctor An.
When Chen heard what Mrs. Ye said, he knew that he was soft-hearted. He couldn't help but look at his wife, but he truthfully repeated Dr. An's diagnosis without missing a trace.
"Since that's the case, you can take Brother Kun to the temple tomorrow and make a wish." Dad Ye made the final decision.
A few days ago, Ye Shen had a high fever and did not know the situation. He was about to fail. Chen went to Chongfu Temple to pray for the blessing of the gods. Although Ye Shen is not very good now, it is no longer a big deal. It is reasonable to go to fulfill his wish at this time.
Chen gave his wife a look again, sighed in his heart, but he didn't mean to refute her husband.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ye Shen immediately smiled, reached out to take the bowl of soup in Wu's hand and drank it all.
Everyone in the Ye family knew that Ye Shen was most afraid of taking medicine. When he saw him so "bold" he was stunned and almost dropped his chin.
