Chapter 277: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (4)
For several days in a row, Shi Qi was woken up by the smell every morning. It was not that she was too lazy to clean the house, but that she had to work all day and had no energy to clean up.
Fortunately, she recovered some strength and her waist felt much better.
She didn't know about other places, but the East Garden of Nan'an Temple was definitely the hardest place. If you were not careful, you would go hungry for several days. Except for Huikong, the head nun, all the nuns in the East Garden suffered the same hardship. Not only was there endless work to do every day, but there were also countless beatings and scoldings. Her waist healed, but she had many more scars on her body.
This is not entering Buddhism, this is clearly a prisoner in prison.
Well, she is indeed a sinner.
After attending morning training as usual, Shi Qi was sent to work again.
In addition to washing clothes and chopping firewood, there was something new this time.
"Really... do you think I'm just a few dozen people?" Shi Qi's mouth twitched slightly. He put his hands on his waist, looked at the dozens of wooden barrels in front of him, and then looked at the septic tank next to him, feeling quite powerless.
Her task in the morning was to move all the feces to the backyard. I don’t know if she could tolerate it, but she actually felt that it didn’t smell that bad compared to her house?
Shi Qi shook his head and resigned himself to his fate before starting to work.
She understood one thing: no matter whether she was working or doing something, she couldn't show off her abilities too much, otherwise...she would be the only one who would be tired.
The greater your abilities, the more tasks you have, and the more expectations and demands others have of you.
But… it’s not okay to not show it at all.
Harm, how to behave in society is a science.
Shi Qi had just picked up two buckets of manure and was carrying a pole to go out to clean it up when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure sneaking towards the grove on the back hill.
Huikong?
Didn't she go back to the house? Why is she here again...what is she doing in the back hills?
Could it be that...she has some unknown secret?
Shi Qi put down his burden and followed quietly.
She found a relatively secluded place to hide, and through the cracks in the rocks, she closely watched Huikong's movements.
Sure enough, after a rustling sound, another person appeared in her sight.
A man!
There is no such plot in the original text. She should have discovered it by accident. But after seeing Huikong act like a little woman when seeing a man, Shi Qi seemed to understand something.
She remembered that when she first arrived at the temple, someone told her, "Keep your mind pure and desire few, and all things are empty."
Even Huikong usually looks superior, and has a cruel look that blocks his heart and love.
Shi Qi understood and smiled.
So she was meeting her lover here...
Then she would have something on Huikong! In this way...would life be easier in the future?
Thinking of this, Shi Qi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
She is really smart.
Bald: I don’t know whether he is smart or not, but he is indeed extremely outstanding.
Even though Huikong was excited, she did not forget to look around carefully and vigilantly. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, she hugged the man shyly: "You bastard, how long have you not come to see me? I hate you!"
Shi Qi was stunned. She never thought that someone as ruthless as Huikong would speak like this.
The man was very tall, and Shi Qi couldn't see his face clearly because his back was facing away. Compared to Hui Kong's tenderness, the man's tone seemed neither cold nor hot: "Well, I've been busy recently, so I was delayed for a few days."
Huikong was not angry, and hugged the man tightly, with a look of attachment: "When will you take me away? Are you really going to let me stay in this broken temple for the rest of my life?"
The man paused for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as you do what I tell you to do, I will definitely take you away. From now on, we will live together and fly away together, isn't it wonderful?"
Huikong smiled shyly and pounded the man's chest: "You bastard, you are the only one who talks nonsense."
The man smiled heartily, his hands wandering restlessly on Huikong's body: "Okay, it's been a long time since I last saw you, my beauty, let me kiss you a few times..."
When Shi Qi saw this scene, he was surprised. Huikong did have a secret.
Who is this man? And what is Huikong going to do?
It didn’t matter to her what Huikong was going to do to help the man. Shi Qi still felt that the fact that a nun had a lover was more threatening.
Let’s take a closer look, the exciting scene is about to begin.
Shi Qi smacked his lips and came back to his senses, then crouched down and tried to continue looking through the cracks in the rocks.
"Hiss..." Shi Qi's foot was suddenly tripped by scattered sharp stones, spraining her ankle. She gasped in pain.
Huikong was alert instantly: "Who? Who is there?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Shi Qi simply limped out from his hiding place: "Master Huikong...it's me."
The man must have known that he was discovered, so he fled out of the temple. Huikong was alone at this time, his clothes were slightly disheveled and his face was flushed.
Huikong straightened his monk's robes and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Shi Qi paused, rubbed his ankle, and said fearlessly: "Then why is Master Huikong here instead of chanting in the ancestral hall?"
Huikong clenched his palms and gritted his teeth: "You... heard everything? How much did you see?"
Shi Qi smiled faintly: "There seem to be quite a lot of things that you should and shouldn't listen to, things that you should and shouldn't see."
Huikong's eyes became colder and colder, and he sneered: "What? You want to report me? Do you think... anyone will believe it?"
Report? She was the only one saying this, so of course no one would believe her.
"No, no, no, look at what you are saying." Shi Qi shook his head, "I just want Master Huikong to agree to a small request of mine."
Huikong had already begun to calculate how to deal with Shi Qi's body, and replied coldly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Shi Qi: "Don't punish us at will in the future. Also... I want to take care of my own meals in my own courtyard in the future."
The hierarchy here has not been eliminated. Except for high-level managers like Huikong, their food is worse than the previous level. Here at Shiqi's place, it is a blessing to have a steamed bun that is not hard in a day.
If she continued like this, malnutrition would be a matter of time, but she had no intention of abusing herself.
Huikong didn't expect Shi Qi to say that, and was a little stunned: "Just... just like that?"
When Shi Qi discovered that she was secretly meeting a man, something that could easily destroy her, he actually... just made this request?
That shouldn’t be the case. She often suppresses and bullies Shi Qi.
Shi Qi must want her to let down her guard so that he can blackmail her into doing something in the future!
Oh, do you think she is stupid?
Shi Qi saw Huikong’s stiff expression and felt confused. This was the first time she had made such a request. She just wanted to have a better life in the temple. Was it... too much?
No way, she didn't even report her, so is it impossible for me to make a small request?
Shi Qi saw that Hui Kong was still cold and hard, and smiled guiltily: "If you think these two requests are too much, just cut one off, and don't hit us..."
The more Shi Qi acted like this, the more abnormal Huikong felt it was.
She was even more certain that Shi Qi was going to ask for a high price in the future and then kill her! Why didn't she realize this man's evil ambition earlier!
Yes, she was a female official in the court before, and she was indeed very resourceful and scheming.
It's okay for her to agree now, it's better than having the matter leaked out.
Anyway...if there is anything unusual, she has plenty of ways to get rid of Shi Qi.
"It's okay, I'll do as you say. I promise that I won't hit you at will, and you are responsible for your own meals. If I find out that you have other thoughts... you know what I mean." Huikong's expression eased a little, and he raised his eyes and stared at Shi Qi.
Shi Qi smiled knowingly: "I understand, we just take what we need, Master, don't worry."
Shi Qi didn't feel relieved until Huikong left the back mountain.
Phew, that’s great, at least I can be a little free.
"Oh! Whose dung bucket is this? It's placed in a mess again! Qingxin! Where are you hiding and being lazy again!" A voice from the other side of the yard pulled Shi Qi back. Only then did she remember that she had not finished picking up all the dung.
