Chapter 201: A life-saving favor comes to you? Nana panics. Is she blackmailing the monk?
Soon Nana came over with two drinks and a stack of cookies.
"Hey, are these porcini pancakes?" Jiang Nansun asked in surprise, pointing at the five or six small biscuits on the plate with her eyes wide open.
Nana explained with a smile, "No, this is a small butter biscuit that I made myself. Try it. It's a porcini pancake. You have to wait a while."
Jiang Nansun quickly thanked her, and when she saw Nana was about to leave, she quickly called out to her.
"What's wrong?" Nana asked Jiang Nansun curiously, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Jiang Nansun's face was a little red, but her best friend was about to come back from the bathroom, so she quickly asked, "Excuse me, is there a man named Chen An in the village who looks to be in his twenties, about 1.8 meters tall, and very handsome?"
When Nana heard this, her smile froze on her face, and countless questions popped up in her mind. Could this woman in front of her be the one Xiao Chen was talking about?
Nana quickly shook her head, wondering what she was thinking about. That girl was no longer around, and the ages were wrong. One was from Beijing, and the other was from Shanghai.
Seeing Nana shaking her head, Jiang Nansun felt a little disappointed. Her eyes suddenly dimmed and her lips pouted slightly.
Seeing Jiang Nansun's expression, Nana was stunned. Why did this expression feel so familiar? Wasn't she the same when Xiao Chen ignored her a few days ago? What was the relationship between this beauty and Xiao Chen? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is he to you?"
Jiang Nansun was originally very disappointed, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "Do you know Brother Chen?"
Seeing Jiang Nansun's reaction, Nana felt a little uncomfortable. Brother Chen, it looked like he had left her a debt of love. No, she had to ask clearly, "I do know him."
Jiang Nansun was delighted, and suddenly became a little embarrassed when she thought of something and asked, "Then where does he live? You should know, can you tell me?"
Nana was even more confused after hearing this, "Aren't you friends?"
Jiang Nansun shook her head in frustration, "Well, Brother Chen saved my life by the Erhai Lake."
"Ah." Nana suddenly realized who the woman in front of her was and was extremely surprised.
"That beautiful lady, can you tell me where he is?"
Nana spread her hands. "Xiao Chen is not in the village today. He went out early in the morning. It seems that he went to the temple. Do you have something urgent to talk to him about?"
"He's not here?" Jiang Nansun frowned, feeling a little annoyed. After thinking for a while, she looked at Nana and asked, "Beauty, it seems that you are very familiar with Brother Chen. Do you have his number? Can you give it to me? I just want to thank Brother Chen."
Nana shook her head instinctively, "I really don't know about this."
"Huh?" Jiang Nansun didn't expect to get this answer. She was just about to ask where Chen An lived.
"waiter..."
"Here it comes, here it comes." Nana had never felt that this line was so intimate, "Take your time with that."
Nana left quickly after saying this, feeling very complicated. This life-saving favor has come to her door, is there any need to explain the intention? No wonder Xiao Chen said that Hongdou had such a big reaction, it was really very stressful.
Jiang Nansun frowned and looked at Nana's back. She always felt something was wrong. Was this reaction a bit strange?
Zhu Suosuo came back from the bathroom and saw her bestie staring at the bar in a daze. She waved her hand in front of her eyes and joked, "What are you doing? Nansun, have you fallen in love with someone else? Don't you like me anymore? Have you started to like another beautiful woman?"
"Hate it, stop talking nonsense." Jiang Nansun glared at her best friend coquettishly and no longer thought about Nana's reaction. Knowing that Brother Chen was in this village, she didn't believe that she couldn't find him.
Chen An probably didn't expect that his actions would drive Princess Jiang crazy.
While drinking, Jiang Nansun recalled the situations of their several meetings and she actually discovered some clues. First of all, it was obvious from Brother Chen's accent that he was not a local. As for Xu Hongdou, she did not seem to be from the village either, no matter how she dressed.
Then the two of them are most likely here for sightseeing. In this case, we should be able to find them in the homestay in the village.
Zhu Suosuo felt a little strange. Was there something wrong with her best friend?
After Nana finished her work, she sat at the bar and secretly looked at Jiang Nansun from the corner of her eyes. The more she looked, the more helpless she felt. Not only was she younger and prettier than herself, but she also had such a good temperament. Her breasts were so big, wouldn't she feel uncomfortable? Tuntun also seemed to be pretty perky. Xiao Chen must like this.
And her speaking voice is also very pleasant, soft, gentle, clear and full of charm.
After comparing the whole thing, Nana was very disappointed. She was completely defeated...
At this time, Princess Jiang and Nana's beloved Chen An were watching the excitement in Gantong Temple. Master Ma spent a long time talking, but he still couldn't convince the two monks, one big and one small, in front of him. The reason was still because of the drone.
Seeing that Master Ma was helpless, Chen An did not stand by and watch, but tried to test him personally, "Masters, we are doing this to promote the temple, and it is absolutely not disrespectful to the Buddha."
"My two benefactors, you can take photos but not this." One of the monks used this sentence to deal with the two of them, with a serious expression and his hands clasped together.
Master Ma was speechless. Did these two people get confused while reciting the sutra? Why was there only this one line?
Chen An smiled and asked, "Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. Seeing that the two masters are so determined about this matter, there must be some reason. I wonder if you can tell us a little bit so that we can have an idea."
The elder monk glanced at the younger monk, who bowed and explained, "My two benefactors, this is not a deliberate embarrassment to you. It is because of a reason. Someone came here to film before, also using this kind of equipment. We did not stop them at the time, but an accident occurred and the equipment fell on the roof of the temple's main hall, causing quite a bit of trouble."
Chen An and Ma Ye understood what this meant immediately. You know, the cost of drones is not low nowadays. Ma Ye spent nearly 20,000 yuan on this one, and the cheaper ones cost several thousand yuan. Needless to say, they all knew what the conflict was.
Chen An clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "Two masters, if that's the case, then we won't force it."
"Thank you for your understanding." The monks put their hands together in return.
Master Ma was a little depressed, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was someone else's territory, and he could only be polite to them because they were monks.
Chen An changed the subject and said with a smile, "Master, we have come from afar to see your tea garden with our own eyes. Could you please give us some convenience?"
The big monk was stunned and was about to refuse.
However, Chen Anke did not give the other party a chance and added directly, "Master, Buddhism emphasizes accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to save the world. Can you bear to see the two of us come here with high hopes and leave disappointed?"
The great monk looked at Chen An with deep eyes, and said earnestly, "Your opinion is very clear, but your words are like swords, which can hurt others and yourself. You should soften their sharpness with peace of mind and compassion. I hope you can gain some enlightenment."
"Thank you for your teachings, Master." Chen An returned the greeting with a smile. Who said monks have no temper? The words were very sharp. However, the method of moral kidnapping is indeed effective. No wonder so many people like to use this method.
"Hui Tong, take the two donors to the tea garden for a look. Remember to pay attention to their safety..." the big monk ordered.
"Yes, Master." The little monk understood.
Chen An couldn't help but complain. If you were afraid that we would move around, you should just say it directly. Why did you pay attention to our safety? Do you think this is the Pansi Cave?
Upon hearing this, Ma Ye's expression was somewhat surprised. You know, most of the Gantong tea on the market now actually branched out from here. The real mother tree is actually only a small piece in the temple, but visitors are not allowed. He couldn't help but rubbed his hands. This first-hand information is estimated to gain some fans. When the time comes, he can make up a story and the show effect will be there.
The two followed the little monk's footsteps, circling around the temple and heading towards the back mountain.
Chen An naturally did not miss the opportunity. Relatively speaking, it was easier to get words from the young monk, so Chen An tried to find out the news indirectly.
The little monk was not very old, but he was quite talkative. It was obvious that he admired the legends of the temple very much. He told the two of them many stories along the way. Naturally, Uncle Ma recorded the stories and did not forget to take pictures of the surrounding scenery.
They walked for a long distance and were about to leave the temple. A small door appeared in front of them. There was an old monk meditating at the door. The young monk motioned for them to wait there, walked forward, bowed and whispered a few words, but the old monk did not respond.
The little monk turned around and waved at the two of them. Chen An and Ma Ye looked at each other and were both very surprised. Chen An even had a weird feeling. If he hadn't seen a towering cliff behind them, he would have even suspected that the two of them were going into the Sutra Library.
Pushing open a small door, the two followed the little monk out of the temple, only then did they discover that there was a different world here. They hadn't noticed it before, but at the foot of the mountain, by the courtyard wall, there were about a dozen lush tea trees, growing very well.
Master Ma couldn't help but get a little excited. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by the little monk, "Please be careful, donors."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master." Ma Ye was a little excited. He had heard along the way that one of the trees was nearly 600 years old. You know, the mother tree of Dahongpao was only more than years old. Although the value may not be comparable, for Ma Ye, it is extremely precious.
