Dream is King

  Aban is Ayi's older brother. They are brothers and sisters who were sent to the temple to practice, but their treatment is very different.

  Different from most of the local people, their faces look fair and round, and even Aban looks quiet and kind, a typical descendant of Chinese descent.

In the country of Xu, men must be monks before they can gain social recognition in various adult events such as military service and marriage. Therefore, almost all men will come to practice as monks for a period of time before the age of 20, but only for a short period of time. Most of them are in Around the age of 20, they came to practice Buddhism of the Dazhong School for a few months to several years. Only a very small number of people will continue to practice as a dervish for a lifetime. There are also some people like Aban who have come to repay the kindness of their parents since they were young, and come to the Buddha on behalf of their parents. In fact, after a few years, most of the little novices who have returned their vows will also return to the secular world and go to school.

This kind of Buddhist sect of Luguo belongs to Theravada Buddhism. Because there are hundreds of thousands of ethnic Chinese in the country, there is also what is called Chinese Mahayana Buddhism from China, which is called Huazong, but it is slightly different from some religions. It's just a fight to the death and the life is different. The various sects of Buddhism in the country basically coexist. Even in a large temple, it is common for monks of several sects to place orders.

  Because Master Tianlong is also said to be of Chinese descent, the proportion of descendants of Chinese descent like Aban sent here to practice is also very high. After all, they can also learn Chinese by the way.

However, beyond Bai Haonan's expectations, the Aban brothers and sisters are not poor children from poor families. Their family conditions are good, just because they made a wish before they were born that they must send their children to practice, and because the girl's status in the temple is too low, A Ban Cai came early with his sister.

The monks who loved to play football gathered together to laugh and laugh. After knowing that Bai Haonan was the new monk who boosted the income of the Chengde Box both inside and outside the temple during the day, it became even more enthusiastic and hilarious. Aban was completely invited by Bai Haonan. His translator explained that Bai Haonan was a foreign monk from Yuenan, and the passport also indicated that Wang Jianguo was of Vietnamese descent, and it was a matter of course that he didn't understand the language, so he could be called Lao Wang.

Originally, Bai Haonan generously asked the little nun Loli to take Ada back to play, but Aban explained that this was not allowed. In the temple, nuns are basically the same as orderlies. Don't mess with the elders. Hey, hurry up and send my sister back to rest.

It turns out that since the death of the last nun hundreds of years ago, there are no official bhikshuni or nuns in the whole country. There are only temporary workers who place orders in temples to practice as lay Buddhists. It is said that practice is basically doing sanitary laundry for temples. logistics.

   In this Buddhist country, which seems to be compassionate and peaceful, there is a big difference between men and women. This is the first time Bai Haonan has felt, and of course he will have a more shocking understanding of this issue later.

It is rare to find a translator who can speak Chinese. Bai Haonan is a bit of a treasure, and Aban obviously admires Long Pi, who has amazing golf skills. He also taught Bai Haonan this word. Master Tianlong is such a transcendent host, known as Long Po, Ai. Masters, mentors, and supervisors like Da are all called Azan, and Long Pi almost means senior brother, so the two who hit it off immediately became senior brothers. Bai Haonan also humbly asked Aban to be senior brother, because according to the The rules in the football team are not based on age. First come is the elder brother. Aban has been a novice for more than a year.

   So after applying with Ada, Aban moved in with Bai Haonan, which finally solved Bai Haonan's language problem.

However, after almsgiving breakfast the next morning, Aban had to go to the chanting class. Ayi, who was already busy washing a bunch of dishes, came to replace her brother as Bai Haonan's translator, but it was obvious that the bald little loli was more interested in the smirking cocker spaniel. Interested, so Tianlong Temple has such a scene. A tall and strong young monk wanders around in front, followed by a loli nun in pink robes a meter or two behind. He is still a little swaying when he walks, and he stretches his hand from time to time. Petting the fat dark brown dog beside him.

   A monk in the temple once questioned why this little nun was outside alone in the daytime. Ayidu stammered and explained that he was an interpreter for foreign monks, a football monk who only knew Chinese.

That's right, when there were hundreds of people in the queue in the morning, it was already spread that Bai Haonan was the monk who played football well last night, so the monks of the country who obviously liked football immediately gave him Nicknamed a football monk.

It can be seen that Master Tianlong's arrangements for Bai Haonan have also been passed down to Aida. Everywhere you see him smiling and clasping his hands together, he really needs an interpreter. Compared to the seven or eight adult monks who can speak Chinese, all of them must be Aida. For Azan, who is so busy, it is indeed suitable for his two children to translate for him. Even if Ayi's translation is more like words jumping out, at least there is a transfer station.

   So by noon, almost the entire temple already knew the football monk and his dog.

  Aban came to help Bai Haonan as the speaker, so he could chat directly with the young monks more smoothly. Of course, the biggest disadvantage of this was that once again, Bai Haonan was lazy and didn't need to learn the language.

   But as Bai Haonan's third long-term place to escape, he already has a lot of survival experience.

Rather than being a duck and engaging in pyramid schemes, such unreliable things, if you focus on football-related aspects, it is the easiest way to make yourself rooted. Bai Haonan, who originally planned to spend his days in a temple, talked to Master Tianlong. , I'm still a little touched, and after witnessing the people's love for football in the country last night, I decided to take this as my stepping stone again, and it's obviously my first experience with a staff team in Rongdu, and my second professional career. The process of the football fitness center has benefited Bai Haonan, and he has accumulated useful work experience unconsciously.

   So after chatting with some young monks with the help of translators at lunch, and asking Ada for instructions in the afternoon, Bai Haonan finally walked out of the temple with a relaxed mood and asked Aban to carry out the inspection work together.

It seems that Master Aida also got an evaluation of Bai Haonan's arrangement from the big boss. With a stern expression, he reiterated the commandment not to approach women, and then returned Bai Haonan's mobile phone and money wallet to him. It came with a car key and a somewhat worn silver hatchback Civic. Bai Haonan judged that the lifespan of this car was longer than his professional football age!

Although most of the monks go out to walk barefoot, this time Bai Haonan proposed not to walk a short distance in the urban area. He decided to visit the villages and tourist attractions in various areas around the urban area. There are dozens or hundreds of kilometers. If you really want to walk, it will take a month or two to investigate.

   The little novice was obviously a little excited when he got into the car. Even though he was chanting the Buddha Face Buddha every day and dedicating himself to the Buddha, the child is still a child after all, and the excitement is still uncontrollable when he can come out of the splendid temple.

Bai Haonan is much more familiar with driving. Although the steering wheel here is generally on the right side, it is not an obstacle for an old driver like him. The two monks, one big and one small, drove the car through the gate of the temple with great enthusiasm. Tourists take pictures. Fortunately, the car is broken enough. Otherwise, it must be an eye-catching title such as "Shocked! Monk drives a luxury car" in China.

   On the road, Bai Haonan threw his mobile phone over to Aban: "Would you like to call home? If you need us, just step aside and buy a calling card. Do you know what card to buy?"

   I didn't expect Aban to have a principle: "Since I'm here to practice, I can't just call home..."

Bai Haonan expressed his admiration to the younger brother, and then began to discuss today's itinerary, as much as possible to watch schools and public football stadiums in the largest city in the north of the country, and fully understand the game level of these stadiums, because from the Among the young monks, Bai Haonan heard a fact that surprised him extremely. There were nearly 300,000 registered players in this kind of football that he had never taken seriously!

  How many registered players are there in one billion Chinese people?

   Former professional players are well aware of this number, but it is more than 600,000!

   This is a country with only one twentieth of the population of China!

In the club where Guixi Qiangniu stayed, Bai Haonan had already experienced the difficult living environment outside the so-called third-level professional league. Even if there were more than 20 teams in the third-level second-level league, they all lived like grandchildren, while others here There are more than 70 teams in the third-tier league, and they have done a lot of work. Even if there are more wins and fewer losses in China's competitions at all levels, how can others do it so well? Why is there such a mess in the country? Everyone shook their heads.

Just hearing this, Bai Haonan couldn't help but want to see his old line of work. Originally, he just wanted to form a team in the temple to cater to the idea of ​​Master Tianlong's new ideas, but now it is obviously worth him. Take a look around. These are the step-by-step words I learned when Glencore Fitness was planning to build.

Of course, this was the inspection plan that Bai Haonan set up for himself. The hatchback car started to wander around the school near Tianlong Temple, only to realize that the seven- or eight-year-old Aban had not yet established a rich sense of orientation. Bai Haonan had to buy a local phone card and Ask the owner of the convenience store to help install the local navigation software on the mobile phone, and then re-plan the itinerary after buying a map. Don't rack your brains for speculation and communication on the roadside outside the convenience store.

This kind of unusual behavior feels very different after wearing the yellow monk robe. From the moment when a large group of monks and a small group of monks stood on the side of the road to buy things, tourists kept coming around to take pictures, and there were obvious differences. Female tourists who are familiar with customs came over and tried to take Bai Haonan or hold Aban for a group photo. At this time, even Bai Haonan felt a little embarrassed for these Chinese-speaking compatriots, and repeatedly emphasized that women in Lu country should not touch monks. In exchange, a group of tourists wondered if the monk spoke Mandarin well, and it was an aunt who wanted to debate with him why there was such an unreasonable custom and whether it was discriminating against women.

   Bai Haonan wanted to roll his eyes, and quickly pulled Aban back to the car to retreat.

  Who is talking with you about customs and why you do this, then why do you wear such heavy makeup when you are so ugly?

Bai Haonan resisted the feeling of going back and drove away. Aban admired China very much. He said that his wish after returning to the secular world was to study in China. He explained: "These Chinese tourists don't fully represent the Chinese..." But he still felt that his explanation was a bit speechless. Fortunately, the destination was coming soon. Turning the street, he saw that Aban had attended the school for two years, and pulled over to park. Later, the big and small monk walked to the school gate to explain that of course Ada was used to being left in the car, and as long as he didn't throw it on the street, the guy wouldn't panic.

Although it was a bit puzzling for the monk to ask to see the football field, the monk's status in the people's society made the gatekeeper immediately open the door enthusiastically and let go. Bai Haonan, who didn't know, was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Aban followed suit and reached out to solve the problem.

  When the two monks went to the football field, Aban whispered that this was the first time he prayed for blessings and recited sutras.

   As a result, it was just such an elementary school, and Bai Haonan couldn't help but sit on the wooden shelf by the side of the court and watch it for an entire afternoon!

It seems that in this turbulent life of escape, even if Bai Haonan kept using all kinds of jokes to distract his attention, his easily hidden heart was still a little hectic, until he saw the football field, there was a kind of inner peace. .

  How high can elementary school students play football?

Bai Haonan has never been to play football in primary schools in China. At least he spent most of his time in the sports school in primary school. I heard that teachers and parents in major schools are very opposed to children playing football when they have nothing to do. study.

   But in front of me, the playground is obviously full of children playing happily. Even though the rainy season has just begun, and there is a heavy rain for more than ten minutes in the middle, none of the children have left.

It is a kind of happiness that can be seen at a glance, the joy of running in the sun and the wind and rain, the full-court cooperation of shouting, the excitement of dribbling the ball, the regret of missing a shot, and being kicked by the opponent. , or the screams of falling down when running and rolling on the muddy grass, all seem to feel a real and free emotional catharsis.

Bai Haonan looked a little crazy. The raindrops didn't react to him, and he didn't even notice when the waterdrops disappeared. Instead, it was Aban who jumped up and said softly to the side, which aroused Bai Haonan to turn his head, oh, a man dressed in a small The long-haired young girl in a suit skirt is holding an umbrella, because she gave the two monks room to cover the rain, and the gray suit skirt on the girl is a little wet, especially the bottoming shirt exposed on the chest It was a little transparent when it got wet with water. The flower monk Bai Haonan flicked his eyes from there to judge the size and color before standing up with a smile and clasping his palms together, but he didn't plan to speak.

   In the end, Aban warmly introduced: "Mr. Song Na! He is Chinese! He is Chinese... um, Chinese of Vietnamese nationality!"

In terms of Bai Haonan's experience in studying women in a foreign country in less than two days, I don't know if it is because the light here is relatively strong, and Su Guoniu generally wears makeup a little bit, and the female teacher in front of her is no exception. , nose foundation, heavy eye shadow and eyelashes, the most obvious is the pair of thick black eyebrows and glossy pink lips, just like the beautiful dress of the night princess.

   Bai Haonan slandered a bit: "Damn, why didn't I have such a female teacher when I was in elementary school?"

   Then I realized that what Aban introduced was Chinese!

   I finally met a girl who can speak Chinese.

   Although it can be seen but not touched.
