The morning market started early in Little Town.
Before dawn, vendors had already set up their stalls full of vegetables, seafood, and various goods that dazzled the eyes.
There were also breakfast vendors by the roadside.
People from the surrounding villages came for the morning market, taking advantage of the break of dawn to enjoy a bowl of steaming rice noodles that would dispel the morning chill.
Around six o’clock, The Fat Chef’s shop door opened, and a young lady in white clothes slowly walked out.
An old granny with a basket was passing by.
...
What was initially a casual glance turned into a gasp of surprise when she saw the young lady.
“Have my old eyes gone blurry?”
The young lady appeared to walk on lotus petals.
In the faintly blue dawn, she brushed away the chill, a gentle warmth radiating from her.
Even the bone-chilling cold wind seemed to grow a few degrees warmer as it passed her.
“Granny Hayes, long time no see.
How have you been?”
“Ah…”.
The granny dropped her vegetable basket, covering her mouth in disbelief.
The young lady crouched down, picking up the scattered vegetables and returning the basket to Granny Hayes.
“Master…
Master Aubree Groove?
Is it really you?”
Aubree Groove gave a gentle smile and said, “It’s me.”
Granny Hayes, with her clouded, tear-filled eyes, managed to utter, “Master Aubree Groove, you’ve come back.”
“Yes, I’ve returned.”
More and more people gathered around them.
Old men leaning on crutches, men and women in their fifties, middle-aged women in their thirties, they all surrounded Aubree Groove, expressing their longing and respect.
In their eyes were pure devotion and trust.
“Master Aubree Groove, I’ve missed you so much.
When you were not here, it felt like something was missing.
Now, finally, you’re back.”
“Master Aubree Groove, you won’t leave us again, right?”
“How would that be possible?
Master Aubree Groove is the daughter of a wealthy family in Pethkids.
How could she stay here, in such austere conditions?
She shouldn’t have to endure that hardship again.”
“That’s right.
Master Aubree Groove is a kind soul, and good people deserve blessings.
You should carry on enjoying your well-deserved comfort at the wealthy family.”
“Master Aubree Groove, please come to my home for breakfast.
I’ll make you your favorite aromatic rice noodle dish and glutinous rice cakes…”
“Oh, Master Aubree Groove, how come you came out of Madam Capris’s house?
Did you stay there last night?
How could you stand those hard beds?
You should stay at my place.
My daughter-in-law’s new room has a proper bed, they’re out working, and you could have their room.
It’s the best of everything.”
“You’re welcome to stay at my place, Master Aubree Groove…”
As more people flocked over, the heart-warming chatter nearly engulfed Aubree Groove.
Lidya Linggo stood at the doorway, her mouth agape at the sight before her.
“So, Miss, you have such a terrifying influence in Four Seasons Town.”
Seeing the spectacle before them, Peter Aria and Anton Cook looked quite shocked.
Despite being surrounded by a crowd and enduring the loud voices that could give anyone a headache, Aubree Groove’s expression remained gentle and patient.
She responded to everyone’s concerns, “Thank you all for your kindness.
I’m staying comfortably at Madam Capris’s house.
Don’t worry about me.
I’ll be in town for a few days, and you’re welcome to visit if you need help with anything.”
Everyone’s enthusiasm did not diminish, but they knew it wasn’t appropriate to surround Aubree Groove like this.
Aunt Ledger took the lead in dispersing the crowd.
“Let’s leave her be, let’s not bother Master Aubree Groove any longer.”
Only then did everyone reluctantly disperse.
“Aunt Ledger.” Aubree Groove called out to her.
Aunt Ledger was the one who had offered her son and daughter-in-law’s room.
She approached with a gleeful smile upon hearing Aubree Groove’s call.
Aubree Groove glanced at her forehead and said, “This morning, come to Madam Capris’s place, and I’ll help you with a pulse diagnosis.”
Aunt Ledger voiced her surprise and joy, “That’s great, Master Aubree Groove.
I will definitely be there.”
Master Aubree Groove excelled not in her understanding of Buddha’s teachings but in her medical skills.
She was a true disciple of the Empty-headed Master.
Her teachings brought inner tranquility, and her medical skills alleviated physical pain.
This was what truly made her a Bodhisattva.
Aunt Ledger left happily, hurrying home to prepare breakfast for her husband.
Aubree Groove continued her walk around the morning market, receiving excited greetings from both pedestrians and stallholders alike. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Peter Aria and Anton Cook followed behind her without any attention given by the crowd.
Despite being a famous star and a handsome man, they were completely ignored.
Not only did they not find it uncomfortable, but they were also astounded.
The astonishment was for the young lady leading the way.
Here and now was the most genuine her.
