The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him
Chapter 979 Life is Hard
It's been really hard to quit being greedy lately.
In the past, in Hanyin Temple, his food was specially prepared for him by someone special.
Those exquisite imitation meals, although not meat-based, are more precious than meat-based dishes.
Even though he had been a little more restrained in his eating habits after the disaster, what he ate was still much better than what ordinary people ate.
But, now.
All the monks in their temple were forced to eat and live together, and they couldn't even eat white flour buns.
There were only two meals a day, each consisting of brown rice porridge with dry biscuits.
Not only him, all the monks living in the main hall are pale and thin.
After just a few days, her skin no longer looked as shiny and smooth as before.
Not to mention Jie Tan, even the lowest-ranking novice monk in the temple couldn't stand it.
Mrs. Tong and Tong Yue successfully met Master Jie Tan using only two roasted sweet potatoes.
Although many houses of the Tong family were forcibly taken away, there were still three left according to the population.
She and the women of the Tong family squeezed into one room, the men lived in another, and the remaining twenty-two servants were all crammed into one room.
After a few days of tossing and turning, they all looked unhappy.
"Amitabha, may I know what business the female donor has with me?" Jie Tan still acted like a high monk.
But Mrs. Tong knew his background well.
He took off a pair of gold-thread bracelets inlaid with gems from his wrists and handed them to Jie Tan.
"Master, you know that although our Tong family has some wealth, we can't withstand natural disasters and man-made calamities. We only have a limited amount of things with us. Although this pair of bracelets is not exquisite, they are worth a few taels of silver. I hope Master will not despise them. Take them as our incense money."
Mrs. Tong's words were very pleasant. The bracelet she mentioned was worthless and was worth about eight hundred taels.
Jie Tan looked at this thing. If it were any other time, he would definitely have accepted it. However, in this situation, he was a little hesitant to accept it.
He understood better than anyone that there is no reward without merit and there is no free lunch in this world.
Even the disaster victims have to work every day in exchange for wages. Currently, in the entire Hanyin Temple, only monks like them need to chant scriptures and pray every day and do not need to do other hard labor.
A few days ago, a disciple couldn't stand the hardship of their current life and insisted on causing trouble. As a result, before they even saw Song Qingci, they were taken care of by the Golden Eagle Guards guarding outside the hall.
Now this person has been assigned to work in the back room.
I heard that you have to work for ten hours every day before you can rest.
It's much worse than theirs.
"Master, do you dislike this bracelet?" Mrs. Tong asked anxiously when she saw Jie Tan didn't say anything.
"The donor has misunderstood. However, in these circumstances, any talk of adding incense money is simply nonsense. Amitabha."
Mrs. Tong didn't care about that. She just stuffed the bracelet into Jie Tan's hand.
"Master, did you know that the female devil has been organizing people to burn corpses these past two days?"
Tong Yue saw Jie Tan accept the things and said hurriedly, with a very ferocious expression on his face.
I really don’t know how to stop being greedy.
The main hall is now like a forbidden area in Hanyin Temple. No one will come here except the guards and the people who deliver food.
"Master, this female devil is so cruel and crazy, you must help her. She is burning corpses today, but who knows what she will do tomorrow? Maybe, she will dare to burn us living people tomorrow!" Tong Yue became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost lost control of his voice and was discovered by the guards.
