As the night deepened, fewer cars passed on the bridge not far away, and the lights of each house in the distance were gradually extinguished.

At night, in front of the stalls, it became darker and quieter.

The breeze blew, disturbing the white cloth on the stalls, sweeping down a few fallen leaves in the shade of the riverside trees and down the somewhat empty streets.

The street lamps lit by the river, waving dim lights towards the dark river,

Around the light, a few flying insects lingered.

In front of the stall, the man lost his mind, looking at the flying insects, his eyes were in a trance.

“...... Master, will you go overboard?"

Turning his head, the man stood in front of the stall and looked at the old monk behind the stall,

The old monk also stood up and looked at the man,

"Donor ......"

“...... My mother believed this...... Before, I just brought my mother home and buried her, and I didn't have any funerals. Can the master help my mother for me? ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk does know a few transcendent scriptures...... It's just that the old donor still needs the donor, the donor can live well, and the old donor has no obstacles, and he can live by himself without human degrees. ”

The old monk folded his hands and looked at the man and said.

When the man heard this, he fell silent,

“...... If you exceed it, how much does it cost? ”

Looking at the old monk, the man just said.

“...... Amitabha. ”

Hearing this, the old monk looked at the man, recited the Buddha's name, was silent, turned his head again, and looked at the white cloth on the ground.

"If the donor wants to exceed, he needs 529 yuan. ”

The old monk turned his head again, clasped his hands together, and said loudly.

"529 yuan ......"

When the man heard this, he repeated it, groping and rummaging around his body.

On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the old monk and the man, and didn't say much.

All around, it became quieter and quieter, except for the man rummaging in his pocket, and the sound of rustling sounded.

......

"529 yuan...... Just enough. ”

The man opened his clothes and trousers, pockets by pocket, and found out the money in each pocket.

The 500 yuan was brand new, and the 29 yuan was a little wrinkled, the man took it, pinched it in his hand, and after straightening it up, he was a little distracted, looking,

After another pause, the man handed out his hand and handed the money in his hand to the old monk,

“...... My family is in the 16th group of Xiahe Village, and after entering the village, I walked to the first turn, and the road was opposite my house. My mother was buried on the hill behind the house......"

The old monk looked at the man, reached out and took the money, and held it in his hand. The man withdrew his hand and said, his eyes were a little dazed, and he turned around,

The voice gradually subsided, and the man looked at the few flying insects that were circling the light under the street lamp, and then he paused again, and then lost his mind, and staggered along the river, and walked into the distance.

“...... Donor, sit down a little longer. ”

The old monk took the money in his hand, looked at the man who was staggering, and called out.

When the man heard this, he paused, but he didn't answer, he didn't look back, and just continued to walk into the distance.

"It's not too early, let's go home early. ”

Lian Ge turned his head, looked at the man, and said aloud.

“...... Go home, go home ......"

Muttering, repeating, the man seemed to be laughing,

"It's time to go home......

After saying another word, the voice gradually subsided, and the man's eyes were in a trance, and he staggered, and continued to walk away into the distance.

......

Watching the man gradually move away, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and looked into the distance,

The lights by the river are still on, waving a dim light on the river, and in the distant city, among the tall buildings, the lights have been extinguished many times.

A fresh breeze blew from the river, and in the distance, it became quieter and quieter.

......

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

Looking at the man in the distance, the old monk folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name before turning back.

"Lord Lian, this is the money for the meal before, and the money to buy this stall. ”

As the old monk spoke, he handed the 529 yuan in his hand to Lian Ge.

Glancing at the old monk, Lian Ge took the 529 yuan and put it in his pocket.

“...... Cheap donor. ”

The old monk withdrew his hand, paused again, looked at Lian Ge and asked out loud,

“...... The Lian donor asked the poor monk to calculate the fortune of the regular benefactor before, is it accurate?"

When Lian Ge heard this, he turned his gaze to look at the old monk, but he didn't answer, he withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance again.

Seeing this, the old monk was silent, then turned his head and followed Lian Ge's line of sight and looked into the distance.

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

......

Moving his steps, the man's eyes were in a trance, and he staggered a little, and walked forward along the river,

The dark river flows downstream on the side of the man, and the street lamps reflect the man's shadow by the river.

The shadows grew longer and shorter, and the sound of footsteps mingled with the sound of the river flowing.

......

When he walked to the bridge, the man paused, turned his head, and looked over the bridge.

In a trance, the man turned around and walked down the bridge, and then towards the bridge.

The pace staggered, and the man just walked distractedly.

Walking to the middle of the bridge, the man paused again and turned around.

......

It was late at night, and it had been a long time since a car had crossed the bridge, and it was becoming quieter and quieter.

The man stood outside the guardrail of the bridge, staring at the river below the bridge in a trance.

The street lamp on the bridge was on, shining on the man, but it could not shine on the river under the bridge, and the river looked dark and heavy.

A gust of wind blew, disturbing the man's clothes, and there was a sound of rustling,

Immediately after, the sound of rustling faded away from the bridge, closer to the river,

A whitish splash of water splashed in the dark water, and a sound sounded under the bridge.

......

Immediately after, another voice followed,

“...... Wait! Someone jumped into the river!"

A young man who was crossing the bridge, wearing headphones, and talking on the phone noticed that the man had fallen into the water,

First he shouted, and then he kicked off his shoes with both feet, and ran towards the place where the man had fallen into the water.

Quickly taking off his coat and throwing his phone on it, the young man jumped over the guardrail and jumped down the river.

On the surface of the river, another voice sounded.

......

“...... Ahem......"

Dragging the man who was already unconscious to swim to the shore, the young man quickly cleaned up the foreign body in the man's mouth and nose, and after confirming that the man still had a pulse to breathe, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the man while making an emergency call,

And the man who was in a coma woke up at this time,

Lying on his side, the man looked at the shore ground, his eyes were distracted and silent,

"Are you awake?"

The young man who had just finished the phone call noticed that the man woke up and was a little surprised,

"Big brother, I said you're good, what kind of river are you jumping, if something really happens, gritted your teeth and passed, big brother, you are older than me, you must have experienced more things than me......"

The young man looked at the man and said aloud,

When the man heard this, he turned his head to look at the young man,

“...... Big brother, this has experienced life and death, we want to start some things, you are like me...... Doctor Chang?"

As the young man spoke, he got up from the ground, looked at the man again, paused, and then looked through the street lamp, and couldn't help but call,

When the man heard this, he looked at the young man again,

"You're a twelve-bed patient......"

"Yes, yes, when I was hospitalized in the city hospital before, I lived in twelve beds, Doctor Chang, you still remember me. At that time, Dr. Chang, you gave me surgery, otherwise I would have been gone. ”

Seeing that the man remembered him, the young man answered with some joy, and then paused, looking at the man, his face couldn't help but show some hesitation,

"Doctor Chang, you are ......"

Looking at the young man, the man fell silent and sat up from the ground.

“...... You've had heart surgery, can you stay up late or stay up less in the future......"

"Thank you......"
