Chapter 33 The thirty-second Shi Jieao who steals meat

Last year, Jie Ao's junior brother Jie Ao was troubled by some rumors for a long time, and I don't know when it started. It spread among the benefactors. When Jie An heard the rumor, it was already several days later. When Jie An was chatting with Dr. Sha in the small town, Dr. Sha accidentally revealed the news. Seeing Jie Chen's surprised look, Dr. Sha realized that he had said something wrong. Dr. Sha told Jie Chen that this rumor has been circulating for more than a month. It is probably because everyone is out of face, so they just discussed it in private. No one challenged you to your face.

Jie Chen thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that in the past period of time, the benefactors in the town had behaved a little abnormally.Sometimes when Jie Anger and Jie Pride walked through the town, they would find those benefactors talking behind their backs. Jie Chen didn't feel strange at the time, because before Jie Chen often encountered situations where people talked about him behind his back.For ordinary people with hair and fashionable clothes, a monk with a bald head is somewhat mysterious.When Jie Chen walks by in front of people, they will inevitably find it novel, and then say "Hey, a monk walked by", which is quite normal.

So before, Jie Chen didn't think about why everyone would talk about it behind their backs.Thinking about it now, it turned out that what everyone was talking about was actually about Junior Brother Jie Ao stealing meat. Jie Chen asked Dr. Sha again, and found that Dr. Sha didn't know much about the details, and couldn't ask anything except the result of stealing meat. Jie Chen actually doesn't believe this kind of rumor. Although Junior Brother Jie Ao is more extroverted than the traditional monk and often says some unexpected things, Jie Chen knows that such a serious violation of the precepts must be a serious crime. won't do.

Jie Chen had to find an opportunity to inquire about this matter from Junior Brother Jie Ao. After hearing Jie Chen's question, Jie Ao, who was lying on the bed, almost fell off the bed. Junior Brother Jie Ao said to Jie Chen depressedly, how could there be such outrageous rumors! As for the source of the rumors, Jieao also felt that it was necessary to inquire, at least knowing the source would be easier to clarify. However, the way of inquiring still made it difficult for Jie Ao. As a monk, it is definitely inappropriate to ask the donors about the source of such rumors in a serious or fierce way.

Therefore, he adopted a more gentle way of quitting pride. Sometimes when chatting with the benefactor, he would ask a question on the sidelines, but the development of things later proved that this way of quitting pride was not ideal. Most of the benefactors who had heard about this incident had heard about it, and they couldn’t tell the whole story. Most of the benefactors also thoughtfully said that as a young monk, it doesn’t matter if you make some mistakes, the important thing is to know your mistakes and be able to correct them. And the worse consequence is that the benefactor, who was not aware of this matter before, also understood the whole process of the matter under the insinuation of Junior Brother Jie Ao.So at the end, Jieao no longer had the courage to continue asking questions.

One month after Jie Ao gave up on pursuing this matter, he unexpectedly found out the truth.A benefactor told Jie Ao that the first person to accuse Jie Ao of stealing meat was a benefactor who moved to the town from other places not long ago. He told other benefactors in the town that a young monk must have been stealing meat, because every time he Every time I pass by a butcher shop, I will stop for a long time, and this little monk's name seems to be Shi Jieao. When Jie Chen heard Jie Ao's retelling of what happened, he suddenly realized.Jie Chen knew that when Jie Ao passed by those butcher shops, he had to read a passage of scriptures for the dead animals as usual, and he would inevitably stop for a short while, being seen from a distance by unfamiliar benefactors, it was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.

And the whole thing is interesting to say the least.Jie Chen always thought that Junior Brother Jie Ao just encountered an unreasonable disaster, but in fact, thinking about it from another angle, it should be said that many things in the world follow the law of cause and effect. A source from which it arises and develops. There must be a reason for any prejudice and misunderstanding.
