Part 74 Concomitance
I thought I was going to a bookstore again...... It seems that Zhao Yilun and I have only been to the bookstore...... It was tedious enough, but this time the surprise came quickly enough, and we went to a temple.
Actually, I would say that I would rather go to church. There is a Catholic church near my hometown, which is small in size but striking enough. Occasionally, while eating, a deep, low bell would float in the distance, pulling my mind to the medieval West, which had nothing to do with me.
I learned English very late, I remember that I started when I was in junior high school, and I fell into it as soon as I came into contact with it, and the teacher humorously told about Queen Victoria's love, and since then I have been addicted to Western culture. To tell the truth, I wasn't a good student at that time, and I couldn't listen to any other classes, but I was as attentive as I was in English class. Since junior high school, whenever I see that church, I have the urge to join the church. Later, for various reasons, it was put on hold, and the church was only visited once, and in the dim light, people were worshipping religiously.
However, the temple in front of me is also good, and once in a while it is antique and changes your mind.
The little monks in the temple wore all gray robes, shuttling between the pilgrims without hurrying, and at first glance there was really a feeling of isolation from the world.
I haven't been to the temple a few times, and the only time I followed my grandmother to make incense and make a vow, and asked the host of the temple for two pieces of rice cakes to eat, which were sweet and soft. It wasn't a memorable taste, but I always remember it as a taste that belonged to my childhood.
When I thought of it, I stood on tiptoe to see if there were any rice cakes on a few cases not far away. The little master, who was too blatantly looking at it, came over with a smile on his hand and asked me, "Donor, do you want to eat?" ”
"Ah, is it delicious?" I reached out to take it with such enthusiasm, and the little girl, who looked like she was five or six years old, was also vying for food, babbling and stretching out her hand. Her mother was so sweet that she broke her teeth, so she dragged it to the side and put it on the incense.
I looked at her, and then at myself, and suddenly I felt that I was no different from a child, and the problem of gluttony was left over from childhood, and I guess I don't want to change it in this life.
I didn't care about anything else, so I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth to chew contentedly, and couldn't help but admire: "It's the taste of osmanthus, rustling and sweet, where did you buy it?"
The little master was choked by the question, and said with a smile: "Even the empty host did it, this can't be bought." ”
Zhao Yilun just said that he was going to find a host, and it seems that he should be talking to the little master about a person.
I wanted to take another bite, but I felt embarrassed and took my hand, but the little master stuffed the whole plate over. was treated so enthusiastically, I couldn't help but look at him twice, he looked quite delicate.
It is said that some monks now eat fasting and chant Buddha at work, and after work, they are no different from normal people. I didn't believe it at first, until I got the plate of dim sum and saw Zhao Yilun waving at me.
He stood with a man in a robe, who looked a little old, but not very old, and from afar he could tell that the man's eyes were bright.
I trotted over, probably because of the plate of dim sum, and Zhao Yilun smiled at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that they have finished talking, and the host said that there will be a Buddha in a few days, so there are relatively few people in the temple now.
I listened to his words and looked around, it was really not a lot. Suddenly, the host took it out of his robe...... mobile phone, picked up the phone. I was really stunned at that time, I just felt that the only thing that the monk could correspond to was eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and I naturally had curiosity when I saw a different one from the TV, so I stood on tiptoe and looked at the host who answered the phone.
Zhao Yilun knocked me on the head: "What are you looking at?"
I asked in a low voice: "Hey, did you say that there is a sewing pocket inside this dress, such a big mobile phone, I go to it is really big, what brand, can it be stuffed?"
Behind him was Zhao Yilun's smile: "Can you not be so excited?"
"Oh oh oh, what a pocket!" I exclaimed, seeing the host stuff his phone into his robe. But the exclamation was a little louder. He seemed to hear it.
Zhao Yilun grabbed my shoulders and turned around and lowered his voice and said, "What were you doing just now?"
"Nothing, just looked at what I could eat. ”
"No wonder you're so heavy. ”
As soon as his voice fell, I stuffed two large osmanthus cakes into my mouth, and complained vaguely: "I want a nun!"
More than 90 catties are so unbearable by him, it is better to gain weight.
He shook what he was holding, but he couldn't see what it was. He came and pinched my face again, and I coughed and almost choked to death.
"Guess what I just did?"
"Phuket. ”
"Eat quickly, I'll tell you when I'm done. ”
I suddenly regretted why I had put so much in my mouth, and I was embarrassed to eat it when he stared at me like this.
Tilting his head to divert his attention, his gaze crashed into a pool of green lotus leaves. It's the middle of June, and it's unfortunate that only scattered buds dot the green, and there are no lotus flowers in sight yet.
A crisp wind chime came from far and near, and with that sound, it was a tree covered with red silk.
I think of the blessing tree in my hometown during the Chinese New Year, and it is also such a dazzling red. The tree in front of me is much brighter than the blessing tree in my hometown.
When I got closer, I saw that the tree standing next to the side hall was a peach tree. April is the peak time for peach blossoms, and now it's June, and you can't find that floral fragrance.
The wind chimes rang in my ears a few more times, and the cozy meaning followed. The outside world is too noisy, and the tranquility at the moment is just right. Even though this tranquility was fleeting, I was greedy for it, and I was reluctant to return to my senses.
Suddenly, a pair of hands came from behind my back, and I almost threw the plate out of my hand. Zhao Yilun took the plate steadily, bent down and set it aside. He stood behind me, reached over again, and asked, "Guess what I'm holding in my hand?"
"Money, food?"
"Neither. He rested his chin on my shoulder, his clenched left hand slowly opened, and a deep red ribbon emerged.
Vaguely connected to the red ribbon was a sign made of mahogany with inscriptions on it, but I couldn't see it clearly due to the light.
He shoved the wooden sign in my hand, then took my hand and slowly lifted it up to reach the branch above my head that could hold the sign.
I tiptoed to the ground for some reason, and remembered that the words on the sign were always prayers and other things.
"Is this all the best or the best of the best?"
"You're cheesy, guess what's wrong. ”
As soon as he spoke, a warm snort sprayed over my head, tickling, susu. It had rained just now, and it was refreshing, but I was so hot that I simply shut up.
