“…998, 999, 1000!”
After doing a thousand push-ups, Qin Feng jumped up from the ground nimbly.
After two days of rest, his physical condition has almost recovered.
Although his skin was still a little pale and his physical strength had not yet reached its peak, he was basically fine.
At this time, an old man who was reading a book in the shed nearby smiled and gave Qin Feng a thumbs up.
"Xiao Qin, you've recovered so quickly. Just two days ago, you were lying in bed unable to move, and now you're back to normal. Soldiers have different physiques than us ordinary people."
"Uncle, there are many people with my physique in the army."
"Okay, okay."
The old man smiled and nodded: "Only when young people are strong and healthy can we truly achieve a strong country and a strong army. When the people have faith, the country has hope..."
Qin Feng stayed here for two days and got to know everyone a little.
I know that the old man is a teacher, so he speaks in a very elegant manner.
After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.
Zhao Pengfei and Wu Jin both went out in the morning to help with disaster relief and reconstruction.
When they came back, Qin Feng had already prepared a large bowl of vegetarian food for them.
In temples, most of the time, the meals are vegetarian. Only new mothers who need nutritional supplements can eat meat as an exception.
Everyone can understand this because respect is mutual.
In addition, in addition to the free vegetarian meals provided by the temple, there are also many relief supplies such as snacks and biscuits, so there is no need to worry about going hungry.
Because there was no table, the three of them just found a place and ate while standing.
"Captain, I feel fully recovered. Why don't we leave after dinner?"
Qin Feng spoke as he ate the rice in his bowl.
Zhao Pengfei was a little surprised: "It's only been two days and he's all healed?"
Wu Jin smiled and said, "Squad Leader, don't you know what Qin Feng's physique is like? With the same injury, others would need to lie down and recover for a month, but he recovered in just a few days."
"Just now when I came back, I saw him carrying four bags of rice and walking briskly..."
Hearing this, Zhao Pengfei smiled bitterly: "Qin Feng, sometimes I really wonder, what kind of monster are you?"
"Maybe, recovering quickly is also a kind of talent." Qin Feng laughed casually.
Zhao Pengfei shook his head in annoyance. "That's not what I meant. I meant, why are there problems everywhere you go? Just like in that cartoon, Detective Conan."
"Besides, every time I narrowly escaped death, if you do that a few more times, I'll probably have a heart attack."
"Knowing you, kid, I feel like my lifespan has been reduced by ten years."
Qin Feng scratched his nose awkwardly. Before he could figure out how to explain, Wu Jin spoke first.
"Squad leader, that's not right. Wouldn't that make the company commander a jinx?"
"I think that's the correct explanation. Whenever there's danger, our people's soldiers are always the first to show up."
"So, it's not that Qin Feng appears that there's danger, but Qin Feng appears because there's danger."
"Fuck!" Zhao Pengfei looked at him in surprise. "You're full of jingles, kid. Are you planning on taking the college entrance exam?"
"Hehehe..." Wu Jin scratched his head embarrassedly.
Qin Feng also had a new respect for Wu Jin, so he nodded vigorously: "I think what Wu Jin said is very reasonable."
He continued, "Besides the firefighting incident, which of the others didn't we experience together? This proves that wherever there's danger, you can always see our soldiers, and they always manage to turn it into safety in the end."
Zhao Pengfei laughed: "Hearing what you said, it seems so. It can't be blamed on you alone..."
Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from a shed not far away.
Everyone seemed to put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered towards the place where the food was served.
"What's going on over there?"
"I do not know."
"Go and see."
The three of them gathered around with curiosity.
I saw Master Su Quan, who was serving food not far away, also looking confused.
"My dear donors, what's wrong? Is today's food not to your liking?"
"Master." At this time, a woman holding a baby in her arms and holding a cloth bag came forward.
"Thank you for your help over the past few days. You have opened your door and provided us with shelter, food and water."
"If it weren't for your help, our child wouldn't even be born safely. Please accept this gift."
"Amitabha, monks are compassionate. I just did what I could."
Master Su Quan shook his head and declined the kindness.
But the woman insisted that he must accept it: "Master, it's not a valuable gift, just a token of our appreciation."
After saying that, she opened the package in public and spread out the contents.
When the monks in the temple saw this thing, they were all shocked and bowed their heads and chanted "Amitabha" in unison.
Even Master Su Quan had a very complicated expression on his face, and he also lowered his head and silently chanted "Amitabha".
Qin Feng clearly saw that it was a piece of cloth.
To be precise, it should be a piece of colorful cloth.
On top, there are densely packed patches made of various fabrics.
Zhao Pengfei and Wu Jin looked at the somewhat worn cloth and the reaction of the monks in the temple and were really confused.
"Qin Feng, what is this? It doesn't look like a blanket, and it doesn't look like a robe."
"This is called a patchwork robe." Qin Feng explained, "It's also called a merit robe. It's made of a hundred pieces of cloth."
"It not only symbolizes the monks' asceticism and spiritual pursuit, but the ancients also believed that wearing it could ward off illness and disasters and bring longevity."
"So amazing!" The two of them widened their eyes. They almost thought it was just a piece of rag. "How come we've never heard of it?"
"Someone has worn it before, and if I tell you, you all know it." Qin Feng kept it a secret.
"Who?"
"Living Buddha, Jigong."
hiss.......
The two of them suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The image of Teacher You Benchang holding a fan, wearing tattered clothes, and walking unsteadily suddenly appeared in my mind.
They never dreamed that this seemingly ordinary piece of cloth would have such profound meaning.
However, Master Su Quan's character is completely worthy of this patchwork robe.
He was able to go against the crowd and save pregnant women from danger in times of crisis.
In order to save people, he even broke the three precepts of not shaming, not killing, and not eating meat, saving thousands of lives.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a living Buddha.
With the support of everyone, Master Su Quan finally put on this patchwork robe.
At this moment, the four words "compassion" seem to have been concretized.
"This is a truly enlightened monk!"
Qin Feng sighed and was also happy for the mage.
But then, the crowd in front of him seemed to be cut in half, making way for a path.
Another woman holding a baby came to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng recognized her. She was the pregnant woman whom Qin Feng had saved with his life.
She also took out a package and presented it to Qin Feng with gratitude.
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, thank you for risking your lives to rescue us from the building. Thank you also for saving my life and my child's life at the last moment. Your great kindness will be forever unforgettable to me and my son."
As she spoke, she opened the package, and inside lay a military uniform quietly.
Judging from the three-star captain rank on the collar and the degree of wear and tear on the cuffs, Qin Feng judged that it should be his.
However, he remembered the clothes after they accompanied him through the disaster relief work and the days of burial.
It has been torn apart by stones and steel bars and should be completely unwearable.
But now it looks like it was sewn up by a pair of skillful hands.
But just as Qin Feng took it with gratitude.
But I found that it seemed a little heavier than before.
He unzipped his camouflage uniform and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Only then did I realize that this suit of clothes was not simply sewn.
Its lining is also covered with colorful patches of various fabrics.
This is also a patchwork quilt!
Qin Feng never dreamed that he would receive such an honor in his life!
This patchwork coat, which represents the recognition and wishes of the common people, is far more precious to him than any military medal!
Qin Feng was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. When he raised his head again, Master Su Quan had already come to him.
"Disasters are merciless, but love exists in the world. What I have done is a drop in the bucket in terms of earthquake relief efforts. It is insignificant, not even one ten-thousandth of what you have done."
"Donor Qin, thank you for your selfless dedication. I also thank the thousands of soldiers who are on the front lines of disaster relief. We feel safe knowing you are protecting our country."
Then, he clasped his hands together, murmured "Amitabha" in a low voice, and bowed slightly to Qin Feng.
The other monks in the temple also put their hands together and bowed to Qin Feng and the other two.
The people present had solemn expressions and serious eyes.
If there really are Bodhisattvas in this world, they might look like soldiers!
......
Half an hour later, Qin Feng and others finished packing up.
After bidding farewell to Master Su Quan, I am about to embark on my journey home.
Sitting in the car, I touched the military uniform in my hand, which carries the wishes and blessings of the people.
Qin Feng's eyes were filled with tears, and his belief in serving the motherland became more and more firm.
Protecting the people and defending the borders, this is the meaning of his military service!
"Let's go."
"Ah."
The car started slowly and drove onto the street.
The patchwork clothes in Qin Feng's hand seemed to have some kind of sensitivity.
Soon, the three of them received an unexpected surprise...
