 Chapter 379: Looking for Master Lin?

"I wonder if monks will come to our village." Although Hu Shi was gossiping, her hands were not slow at all.


Ye Muyu had heard about this before and thought it should be happening soon. "They should come. It's not suitable to stay in the temple for too long especially for those children who don't want to become monks."


"Madam is right."


It took about half an hour to peel all the pomelo skins.


Ye Muyu was about to start making honey pomelo tea. She bought the pomelos from the village and since it was already noon she planned to prepare the tea in the afternoon. Cooking dinner would also be a bit later than usual.


Ye Muyu and Hu Shi were busy in the kitchen.


In the village.


Chu Ziluo came out of the old house, holding some boiled peanuts in her hands, eating as she walked. These were given to her by Chu Liushi.


She had been diligent in going to the old house these past two days. Perhaps because her mother taught Granny and Aunt Zhang how to make pickled vegetables, she clearly felt that her treatment had improved a lot.


Even Chu Qingxiang, who was about to get married, was overly enthusiastic towards her.


"Miss, shall we go to the school to pick up the young master?" Nenya carried a basket of needlework tools. These days, Chu Ziluo and Chu Qingxiang spent their time doing needlework together.


Chu Qingxiang was busy making her own wedding dress recently.


Actually, most of the girls in Xingshui Village wore only red clothes when they got married. These could not be considered wedding dresses. Given the circumstances, being able to wear red clothes for marriage was already good enough.


Someone like Chu Qingxiang, who made her own wedding dress was considered slightly better off.


Being able to wear her own wedding dress for marriage was quite respectable.


Knowing Zhang's desire for face, she must have spent money to buy red cloth for her daughter to make the wedding dress herself.


Chu Ziluo nodded when she heard, "Yes, let's go. We'll head over."


As the two of them walked halfway, they saw a group of monks in brown robes coming from a distance.


"Miss, is someone coming over there?" Nenya curiously stood on tiptoe to look, but because they were far away, she couldn't see clearly.


It seemed that some villagers who were working in the fields had stopped the monks, and the people hadn't come over yet, they were still talking over there.


Chu Ziluo's curiosity arose, so she stuffed the peanuts into her pocket. "Let's go, let's take a look."


"Miss, please be careful." Nenya hurriedly caught up.


As they got closer, they heard villagers talking.


"Are you monks from Deming Temple?" The one asking was Mrs. Lin, who lived next door to the Chu family.


The one being asked was a middle-aged monk in a deep brown robe standing at the front. Behind him was a slightly younger monk and behind them were five children in matching coarse cloth clothes.


The older ones were about thirteen or fourteen and the younger ones were around ten.


This was normal. Children from temples generally had to be over eight years old to come down the mountain. It happened every five years, and for some who were not old enough, they would be delayed for another five years, reaching around thirteen years old.


This was also to take into account that these orphaned children could start working at the age of eight. In ordinary families, it was more preferable to raise a child who could work.


The leading monk said a sentence in prayer and then asked, "May I ask if Benefactor Lin Fuzi is present?"


"Looking for Master Lin?" Mrs. Lin was surprised for a moment but quickly reacted. "At the bridgehead over there, there's a school, and the master inside is Master Lin. Masters, just go over there."


"Thank you for your guidance, Benefactor." The leading monk led the others, including the children, towards the school.


Once the monks left.


The place immediately became bustling.
