Buddhism

When Qing Mo and Mu Youfang woke up, it was already noon the next day.

After a good night's sleep, both of them were in better spirits, and both of them didn't mention what happened last night.Just cherishing the time together even more, they walked out of the room hand in hand.

Bright and clear sky, blue sky and white clouds, today is another good weather.

Basking in the warm sun, Kongqing and Zhizi sat on the stone table in the yard and played chess.Zhizi bit his finger and looked at Kongqing, who was talking to him while moving the black and white pieces.

The two approached them, Qing Mo looked around and didn't see Chi Tong, so he asked, "Where is Chi Tong?"

Mu Youfang didn't see Mu Chaosheng, thinking that he wouldn't go down the mountain in such a hurry, and asked, "Where is Chaosheng?"

Kong Qing stopped what he was doing, looked at the intertwined hands of the two, and said, "Chitong sent him down the mountain. It seems that his wife is about to give birth in two days."

"What?" Mu Youfang was surprised. No one told him that Mu Chaosheng's daughter-in-law was pregnant and was about to give birth.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you." Qing Mo smiled.

"How can you forget such an important matter?" Mu Youfang said helplessly.Mu Chaosheng is his blood relative, and he will soon have a nephew or niece. This is considered a big event, and Qing Mo actually forgot.

"It's only two days?" Mu Youfang reconfirmed.

Kong Qing nodded: "Yes."

"Since I came back, I haven't been back to Mu's Village. I have to go back and have a look. If the baby is really born, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it will be a great joy." Mu Youfang let go of Qingmo's hand and said a little excitedly.

Zhizi had heard of Mu Family Village long time ago, but he had never been there. He really wanted to go at this moment, so he said happily, "A baby is about to be born, so can we go and see it?"

"Of course." Qing Mo readily agreed.

They were all going, and it was boring for Kong Qing to stay in Lin Zhongyuan alone, so he simply followed them down the mountain.

Because of Mu Youfang's eagerness, Qing Mo used his spiritual power and Zhizi's assistance, and the four of them arrived at the foot of Yunshan Mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.After descending the mountain, in order to avoid frightening passers-by or causing unexpected complications, the four of them could only walk.

Zhizi was still wearing the orange clothes from yesterday, hiding his fluffy ears, and his hair was tied up for him by Kong Qing, it was fresh and clean.Looking at the delicate features, it is very flattering.Kong Qing changed into his usual plain long gown, which was still simple and elegant.Qing Mo and Mu Youfang also counted their daily uniforms.

Qing Mo and Zhizi didn't realize that the weather was hot and cold, but Mu Youfang and Kong Qing were a little bit afraid of the cold, and both of them wore a big cloak.

Although the weather was clear, it was still a freezing, windy winter day.So there were not many pedestrians on the road, and most people in this weather were nestling in their homes to enjoy the fire.

Before approaching Mu Chaosheng's home, Zhizi heard the cry of the baby, and he said excitedly, "The baby is born."

"So punctual?" Several people were surprised and excited, this was about to be the first newborn baby they saw.

They strode towards the door of Mu Chaosheng's house, but before knocking on the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.Chitong sensed their breath, knew they were coming, and came to open the door for them.

Mu Youfang went up to meet him: "Is the mother and child safe? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Adults and children are fine, it's a baby girl." Chitong replied, turning her body sideways to let Mu Youfang in.After Mu Youfang entered, Qing Mo and others also followed.

"It's a girl~" Zhizi raised his head and looked at Kong Qing excitedly.

Kong Qing smiled and patted his head: "What? Are you interested?"

Zhizi nodded: "I want to have a younger sister." The reason why Zhizi wanted a younger sister was because his mother told him that he had a twin sister, but due to the harsh environment, his twin sister was very weak. The younger sister did not survive in the end.

Everyone didn't know the reason, but they were all amused by Zhizi's earnest and eager expression.This baby is Mu Chaosheng's daughter, and she is an authentic human child. It's a bit funny that he, a monster, wants to recognize a human being as his sister so seriously, and thinks he is too naive.

Qing Mo folded her arms and joked: "This sister is not a toy, don't try to mess around."

"Hmm~mm..." Zhizi shook his head and retorted: "It's not for fun, I will take good care of her."

Kong Qing smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later, let's go see my sister first." No matter how much they talk and argue now, it's useless.If Zhizi wants to recognize this baby as his younger sister, he needs the consent of his parents.

They couldn't enter the delivery room, so they sat in the main room and waited. After a while, Mu Chaosheng brought out a baby tightly wrapped in red cotton cloth from the back room.The baby stopped crying and making fuss at this time, and lay quietly in it.Except for Chitong, the others all moved over.

"Wow, my sister looks a bit strange." Zhizi said bluntly, surprised and puzzled.

Not only was Mu Chaosheng not angry when he heard this, but he laughed out loud. He patiently explained: "All newborn babies are like this. When she grows up a bit, she will be almost the same as you." After getting along with him a few times, he really likes Zhizi, so he doesn't mind Zhizi saying that, it's just that Zhizi is young and doesn't know how to be curious.

The baby's face is so small and red.Zhizi didn't dare to touch it, fearing that he would hurt this fragile little life because he didn't know how serious it was.He stretched out his hand desperately, touched the red cloth wrapped in the baby, and suddenly realized with a smile on his face, "That's it!"

"Yes!" Mu Chaosheng agreed with a smile.Zhizi smiled so much that he showed his canine teeth, and the baby lying in the red cloth probably felt curious, so he followed suit and grinned.

"You see she smiled at you." Mu Chaosheng lowered the daughter in his arms a little, so Zhizi could see her smile more clearly.

Zhizi was even happier, pulled Kong Qing and said: "She smiled at me, smiled at me~" Zhizi's heart was filled to the brim, and he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that was lost and regained.

The little baby was lying on the soft red cloth, grinning silently, which made everyone feel really funny and laughed.

"Have you chosen a name?" Mu Youfang asked.

Mu Chaosheng was a little rusty and not very good at holding babies, so he bent slightly to hold his daughter firmly. "I thought about a few names before, but now I don't think it's suitable. You read a lot, why don't you choose one."

Mu Youfang wasn't very familiar with Mu Chaosheng's daughter-in-law, Liu Shi, so he was afraid that she would think about it, so he said, "How good is this, my siblings might like you more."

"Nonsense, although I can read, I'm not as proficient as you. Qianqian is very happy to be named as a Tanhua." Mu Chaosheng's wife's full name is Liu Qianqian.

Mu Youfang smiled modestly. There is no need to evade the words. He thought for a while and said: "Ten days of bad wind and three feet of snow, heavy frost is all over the world. Who will ask for the safety of the plum blossoms. The jade skin seems to be shaved. It’s very cold in Zhengnai. How about calling it Shuangnai? It means tenacity and unyielding, peace.”

"Very good, very good." Mu Chaosheng didn't quite understand the full meaning of the poem, but the word Shuang Nai sounded like a good word with cultural background and special.It sounds much better than the one he took before, and he is very satisfied with the one Mu Youfang took.

"Oh, good girl, you have a name. It's called Mu Shuangnai. How about calling you Nainai?" Mu Chaosheng teased his daughter, and the little baby giggled twice under his teasing. Sound, seems to respond to the name is very satisfied.

After Mu Yuyu settled Liu Qianqian, she came out from the inner room and was not surprised to see them all there. She walked towards Mu Chaosheng with a smile on her face and said with a smile: "The newborn baby is very delicate, I will hug her first Go into the back room to rest, and after a while, it’s not too late for you to take a good look.”

"Yeah, got it, let's go in." Mu Chaosheng let go of his daughter to his sister.Mu Yuyu is a woman who has given birth to a child, and she is much more skilled than Mu Chaosheng in picking up a baby.

After all, this is also Mu Youfang's first niece, Qing Mo secretly digs out in her "treasure bag".I want to choose a suitable gift for this newborn niece, but the most hidden thing in his possession is real gold and silver. He doesn't know the other things and is not rare, so it is meaningful to give at this time It is obviously inappropriate to send real money directly.So he continued to search with a depressed face, hoping to find something to give away besides these "vulgar things".

Chitong sensed something was wrong with him, and asked calmly, "What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for a suitable gift for this newborn niece." Qing Mo said distressed.

"It's hard for you to still have such thoughts." Chitong laughed.Looking at him like this, he didn't find anything good.Chi Tong also knew that, according to Qing Mo's usual behavior, he didn't care about anything other than real money.

After digging for a while, Qing Mo still couldn't find anything else, so he asked Chi Tong for help, "Chi Tong, do you have anything suitable? Let me use it first, and then pay you back with something else."

Chitong thought for a while, he seemed to have obtained a silver bell before, and this silver bell is not a mortal thing, it has the effect of calming the soul.A newborn baby's mind and soul are fragile, so if this bell is used to calm it down, it can be regarded as a treasure that can be used.He searched for it and took it out to Qing Mo: "This is called the soul-suppressing bell. If you want to wear it for her, you must drip her blood on it, otherwise she won't be able to use it."

Soul-suppressing bells are commonly used by human beings, and they have the effect of calming the soul and ensuring safety.If it is used by people with magical powers such as warlocks, they know how to activate the power contained in him, and it also has the effect of soul-stirring.

The soul-suppressing bell appeared in Qing Mo's palm, it was a delicate and small bell, and Qing Mo transformed into a red string to string the bells together.After finishing, he smiled and said to Mu Chaosheng: "This is a gift for my little niece, I hope you can accept it."

There is a custom in their place where newborns are born and loved ones give gifts when they meet, so Qing Mo winks and flatters her a little.How to say this baby was born, Mu Youfang was very happy.

Mu Chaosheng didn't know the doorway inside, and saw that it was a small bell, which was considered exquisite and small, so he accepted it.Seeing that he accepted it, Qing Mo said: "If you want to wear it for your little niece, you must remember to put a drop of her blood on the bell, otherwise don't wear it, lest she will not be able to suppress it."

As soon as Mu Chaosheng heard this, he knew that this was not a mortal thing, and even though he had already accepted it, it was not easy to return it, so he thanked him immediately and put it away.

Zhizi wanted the newly born Nai Nai to be his younger sister. Seeing that Qing Mo gave him a meeting gift, he also touched his body and took out a gold leaf. It was given to him by Chi Tong, and he himself was reluctant to use it .

He leaned in front of Mu Chaosheng and lifted the gold leaf: "This is for my younger sister, as a gift for meeting."

Everyone laughed out loud when they saw this, Zhizi insisted on recognizing the newborn Mu Shuangnai as his younger sister.

Mu Chaosheng is a simple farmer, the gold leaf is also very precious, Zhizi is still a child, he is hesitant to accept it.

His hesitation made Zhizi think that he didn't like it, so he frowned and said, "This is the only valuable thing I have, don't you like it?"

Zhizi looked disappointed and sad, Mu Chaosheng quickly waved his hands and denied: "It's not true, it's just that this thing is very precious, it's a great gift for us farmers." Gold leaves are really valuable, Mu Chaosheng worked diligently as a farmer for most of his life and didn't save any money, so he was a little embarrassed to accept it.

Kongqing could feel that Zhizi sincerely wanted to recognize Nai Nai as his younger sister, so he took the gold leaf from Zhizi's hand, stuffed it to Mu Chaosheng, and said with a smile: "You can keep it, if you don't accept it, he will accept it." I thought you wouldn't let him be called Sister Nai Nai, I'm afraid it would make you sad."

Zhizi nodded in agreement, with a look of sincerity and anticipation.

This is the end of the conversation, and Mu Chaosheng can't delay it.He smiled at Zhizi and said, "Do you want to recognize Nai as your younger sister? It doesn't matter, as long as you like, you can call her younger sister." Seeing that Zhizi was so caring, Mu Chaosheng also agreed to let his daughter call him brother statement.

After being affirmed, Zhizi nodded happily: "Yeah."

Mu Youfang gave him his name, Qing Mo gave him a bell, and even Zhizi gave him a gold leaf.Kong Qing touched himself up and down, but couldn't find anything, he was even more embarrassed than Qing Mo.At least Qing Mo still has real gold and silver, and he really has nothing left except for the string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck and his plain clothes.

Chitong needs jade to make pills in containers and bottles, so he has collected a lot of unpolished jade.Sometimes when he sees a suitable jade by chance, he will buy it.Seeing Kong Qing's predicament, he dug into his "sleeves" and took out two jade bracelets.He originally wanted to refine the pair of fine jade bracelets and use them as containers for pills, but it came in handy at this time.

He stuffed two jade bracelets to Kong Qing, and asked Kong Qing to do the favor by himself.

Kong Qing looked at the jade bracelet in his hand and thought for a while, this jade bracelet was obviously worn by adults, wouldn't it be inappropriate to give it to a newborn baby?

Seeing Kong Qing's concerns, Chitong said silently: "The incident happened suddenly, and I have nothing else suitable. However, you can give one to her mother to show your concern. The other can be kept as her own." Bar Mitzvah."

This is not a good way, Kong Qing had no choice but to send the things out.To say without embarrassment or embarrassment that it was given by Chitong is considered a care.He was originally a poor monk with nothing, so he couldn't take credit for it.

The jade bracelet given by Chitong is a high-quality jade, which is much more expensive than Zhizi's gold leaf.Looking at the gift in his hand, Mu Chaosheng didn't know what to do: "It's costing you all. This child, Nai Nai, is a lucky one. He was able to receive such a generous gift when he was born. It's really thanks to your love."

Qing Mo waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, I haven't prepared for this matter yet, and I'll make it up when she's full moon." After all, Nai Nai is also his niece, how could he let Chi Tong and the others compete? Going down, so he decided to wait for Nai Nai's full moon, and then give Nai Nai another big gift.

Mu Chaosheng refused with a smile: "Enough is enough, there is really no need to spend any more."

"How can it be said that it is a waste of money, Nai Nai is also my niece, of course I should pay attention to it." As he spoke, he put his arm around Mu Youfang's shoulders, announcing that he was Nai Nai's half relative.

"Let him go. We are all very happy about Nai Nai's birth." Mu Youfang blocked Mu Chaosheng's refusal.

Qing Mo has always been a person who will do what he says, and Mu Chaosheng also knew that no matter how much he refused, he would not be able to stop Qing Mo, so he stopped talking immediately.Everyone happily started talking about other topics.
