The elder looked at the woman and the boy in front of him, and gradually merged with the two children in his memory

"grown up."

His voice has a sense of otherworldliness, and it makes people feel comfortable when speaking.

"It's been eight years, thank you for the agarwood bracelet that you gave back then."

There was a faint smile on the elder's wrinkled cheeks, and he shook his head.

"It was instructed by the Buddha."

As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of the Buddha in the distance.

An Yuannian dragged the young man beside him to bow as well.

Believers only want their loved ones to be safe and healthy.

After all these years, she still wants to ask them to be safe and healthy.

The little monk restrained his playful appearance just now and stood behind the elder solemnly.

He lowered his eyes and returned to the way he had just entered the Buddhist gate in an instant.

"Elder, I came here today to discuss with you about our donation of incense money."

An Yuannian spoke to him respectfully.

The elder raised his hand to signal the main hall in front of him: "Female benefactor, the money for incense donation is in the main hall in front."

He treats every child here like his own, and he told her about Zhaocai just now.

The elder has raised 82 children in his life. From the beginning when he repaired and cleaned the ruined temple by himself, until he picked up an abandoned baby outside, there have been more than two of them in this temple since then.

He will bring the children abandoned by others back to the temple, and sell all his former family property to raise the children.

He never forced these children to stay in the temple to guard with him. Most of the children who came out of his hands went outside, leaving a very small number to stay in this temple.

The children who can get ahead will donate money to the temple. They repair the temple and improve the food in the temple.

They all love this home, but they also have their own little home.

The elder who has remained unchanged here for decades.

Some pilgrims here will entrust their children to the elders and never come back. Fortunately, these children have grown up very well in the hands of the elders.

They are kind, brave, patriotic, and lively... They have the best blessings of the Buddha on their bodies, and one of the trees hangs their peace charms.

The elders pray here every day for the children who have gone away.

"I want to donate some incense money for the children."

An Yuannian led the boy beside him to stand upright.

Even if these children grow up well in the hands of the elders, school education is the most important thing.

Each of them has different ideals, the elder can understand but his ability is only so small.

There was a flash of light in the elder's clear eyes: "Female benefactor, shall we go to the wing room to talk?"

He held out his hand in a please gesture.

An Yuannian shook his head and made a gesture of invitation to the elder: "Elder, please lead the way."

The elder smiled and led them to the wing.

The little monk in the wing poured hot tea and put it on the table.

"Please, two benefactors."

The elder stroked his white beard. He has basically remained unchanged for so many years.

Qi Yiheng put the hot tea in front of her: "Be careful of the hot tea."

An Yuannian waved to Qi Yiheng.

Qi Yiheng approached.

She whispered softly: "Do you want to know what I prayed for you back then?"

Qi Yiheng's eyes were sparkling and full of childishness.

"think."

"I discussed with the elder that you should go find the donation. If I agree that you don't find it, then you can't make any more plans for it. If you find it, I will grant you one wish."

An Yuannian raised his eyebrows with a confident expression on his face.

"it is good."

He responded, and the little monk took him away.

The elder looked at her and began to look serious: "Female benefactor, why are you bothering?"

An Yuannian wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "His life can't be all suffering, as long as he can block a little bit, I'm willing to pay any price."

"Oh, benefactor... don't regret it."

"not regret."

The moment she made a decision, she didn't regret it. She wanted to pull him out of the darkness. If she had to watch him leave this world, she would rather bear it by herself.

There has to be someone to face it, she still has a glimmer of hope, but he doesn't.

"It can be seen that the benefactor stayed and I wanted to talk about the benefactor alone."

The elder's face was full of impatience.

"I know, but he respects that I won't ask."

The elder looked at the door of the wing room regretfully, as if he was looking through the door of the wing room at the boy who had gone away.

"He will be sad."

The Buddhist bead in the elder's hand was spinning, and he closed his eyes trying to see a different fate.

But fate is so rough, and it is destined to have this calamity.

The bracelet in his hand broke, and the prayer beads scattered on the ground.

An Yuannian was startled and hurriedly squatted down to pick it up.

"Benefactor, don't pick it up."

There was emotion in his eyes.

An Yuan paid attention to help pick up the beads on the ground: "Elder, you can string them together again."

She put the beads on the teapot tray so that the beads would not roll off.

"Elder, let's get down to business!"

"it is good."

An Yuannian took out the contract she had prepared not long ago from her backpack, and every requirement in the contract did not harm the elders or even the temple in the slightest.

"Elder, I donate 5000 million in my own name for the growth, education, and life of important children in the temple. I will give 50 of this money to the temple every year. The increase in children in the temple will also increase the amount. 5000 million is not a dead number. As long as the children are there, I will continue to support them, even if I am gone."

The elder was also surprised when he heard the money. Many people donated over the years, but it was only enough to cover the food and clothing of the children. However, with the increase of children, the life of the temple was also somewhat unsustainable.

Children's education cannot be interrupted. He can only teach them what he knows as much as he can. Their life is broad and cannot be restricted by money.

For so many years, every child has been his child, and some of their biological fathers came to find them and followed them back.

"Thank you benefactor."

The elder supported the table with tears in his eyes, he wanted to bow but was stopped by An Yuannian.

"Elder, I have additional conditions."

The elder looked at her.

"First, only you can know about this donation. Second, if that child commits a crime that violates the law, I will stop funding him. Third, every batch of children must go outside to earn money. They also need to grow up. .”

Every condition An Yuannian said is very realistic, if the money is found out by others, even if it is paid in installments, there is no guarantee that anyone will be jealous.

Never underestimate the allure of money, something she learned early on.

She is not obligated to support so many children. After they turn eighteen, they will have to take care of their lives. Her money will help the younger children.

These children have no home, so the appearance of the elders is to give them a hope of life.
