In late autumn, the dawn was getting later and later, and before the rooster crowed in the chicken coop, Grandma Li got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to start working again.
There was frost on the vegetable leaves in the fields, and the air was bone-chilling.
When the sky was getting dark, Lu Keming sat up from the bed, looked at Yu Youyou who was tucked into the quilt next to him for a while, and then got up and walked out of the room.
Granny Li was adding firewood to the stove, when she saw Lu Keming approaching, she said hello, "Xiao Lu, come over and watch the fire for me, I'll go to the field to order food and come back."
Lu Keming paused for a second, and looked at Granny Li silently.
"You just watch the fire, just shake it from time to time." Granny Li didn't even look at Lu Keming's expression, wiped her hands on the apron, gave a word of advice, and walked out of the courtyard gate.
The sound of the wooden door opening and closing sounded, Lu Keming looked at the smoky kitchen, and gradually frowned.
The burning wood made a beeping sound, Lu Keming stood there for a while, then walked into the kitchen.
The mud-built walls are blackened by years of stove smoke, and the layers of soot on the beams are the gentle and cruel traces left by time in this farmhouse.
Lu Keming squatted down, looked at the burning firewood in the stove, and hesitated for a few seconds.
He took out a pair of gloves from the storage space and put them on his hands, picked up a piece of firewood from the side, and threw it into the stove.
The fire in the stove burns more intensely.
After a while, Granny Li held a handful of vegetables in her hand, closed the courtyard door with one hand, and patted the frost on her body.
"The weather is cold, and several green vegetables have froze to death. This day is colder than usual...
She walked into the kitchen, put the vegetables in the basin, poured some frozen water into the basin, rolled up her sleeves and started washing the vegetables.
"When I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I have to quickly put up the shed."
Granny Li was washing the vegetables while muttering, seeing Lu Keming beside him who was silently igniting the fire, she said, "I think it will take some time for this road to be repaired, you young people help me build a shed. "
Lu Keming paused the hand holding the firewood, and nodded after a while.
When Anthony came, what he saw was their young master squatting on the ground, starting the fire in the ashes.
Anthony's face changed, and he hurried forward to take the firewood from Lu Keming's hand, and said nervously, "Master, sit down, I'll get it."
Lu Keming let go of his hand, allowing Anthony to take the firewood in his hand and sit aside.
Grandma Li was standing beside her washing vegetables, she smiled when she saw this scene, and joked, "It turns out that Xiaolu is still a young master."
"Of course, our young master's status is very precious." Anthony was not afraid of strangers, and he cheerfully picked up what Grandma Li said.
"But I think Xiaolu is quite quick at doing things. Do you young masters in the city still have to do housework?" Grandma Li finished washing the dishes, opened the lid of the pot and put the rice in the pot, and continued talking to Anthony.
Anthony's expression froze, and he carefully glanced at Lu Keming, who was not showing any emotions, smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject.
"Grandma, how old is your Ten Thousand Faced Buddha?"
"Wan Mian Buddha..." Grandma Li stopped what she was doing, thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "I don't remember clearly, but when I was young, Wan Mian Buddha was there. .”
"If you ask the older generation, they all say that they existed when they were young."
"This has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down for many years."
"So long..." Anthony sighed.
Lu Keming was listening to the conversation between the two in silence, but when he heard this, he frowned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Did Lijiacun come first, or Wanmian Buddha first?"
When he said this, Lu Keming kept staring at Grandma Li, as if observing his reaction.
"This..." Lu Keming's question made Grandma Li think for a long time, "The older generation never mentioned this matter, and I didn't pay much attention to it."
"However, Lijia Village has taken root here for nearly a thousand years and has never left. I think the ancestors probably built a Buddhist temple on the mountain, enshrined the Buddha, and then passed it on to us."
"It turns out that's the case." Lu Keming received Granny Li's answer, and he seemed to understand it, and then guided him with a deep meaning: "The Wanmian Buddha enshrined in the village is unique, and I have never seen it in a Buddhist house. Such a Buddha."
"Really?" Grandma Li started to work on the matter in hand again, and responded casually.
Lu Keming didn't get the answer he wanted. He rubbed his knuckles and chose a more direct question.
"It's the first time I've seen a Buddha statue with only eyes. What's so special about it, does mother-in-law know?"
"Only eyes?" Grandma Li seemed to be more surprised than Lu Keming, and repeated: "How come there are only eyes?"
Lu Keming's expression darkened at Grandma Li's surprised attitude, and his eyes were a little more inquisitive.
"Why is Grandma so surprised, shouldn't the Wanmian Buddha be like this?"
"That's not true." Grandma Li waved her hand, "The Buddha statue is so solemn that an old woman like me can't see it..."
It was the first time for her to know the appearance of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha.
The inquiry in Lu Keming's eyes suddenly dissipated, he stood up as if nothing had happened, and casually touched the folded corners of his clothes twice.
Here, Grandma Li was surprised for a while, then thought of something else, looked at Lu Keming and Anthony suspiciously, "No, how do you two know the appearance of Wanmian Buddha?"
The patriarch forbade them to see the Wanmian Buddha, let alone outsiders, how did these two young people know?
Lu Keming's expression remained unchanged, and he straightened the corner of his sleeve methodically.When passing by Grandma Li, she glanced at Grandma Li lightly.
The moment the two looked at each other, Grandma Li's eyes were in a daze for a second.It wasn't until Lu Keming walked out of the kitchen that Grandma Li realized it and patted her forehead.
"I just wanted to do something, why did I forget it in a blink of an eye... As people get older, their memory gets worse and worse..."
Grandma Li looked around, then put the washed vegetables in the basin into the sink and washed them again.
Anthony looked at Grandma Li's actions, feeling a little embarrassed, stepped forward to take the food from Grandma Li's hand, "Give it to me, I'll help you."
-
The morning sun slanted into the yard from the fence, and the frost on the small vegetable patch in the yard began to melt, turning into drops of dew and sliding down the lush green vegetable leaves.
Lu Keming stood under the eaves, quietly watching the smoke gradually rising in the village.
"It's really weird, it was broken yesterday, how could it be cured today..."
Fang Ziang, who came out to go to the bathroom, passed by Lu Keming, looked at the calf without any wounds, and kept mumbling.
Lu Keming folded his arms, turned around and stared at Fang Ziang expressionlessly.
"Fang Ziang."
