The two walked slowly towards the back mountain, and a cute little novice came over and stood in front of the two: "The two female benefactors are polite, the master asked the little monk to bring a message to the two, if you want to find the shepherd, please go to the abbot." ”

Xiao Shami was wearing a yellow monk's robe, his two little short legs were not as high as the threshold, they were round, wrapped in the same black and white belt of the senior brothers, and he still couldn't see the waist-body, he put his hands together, and ten meat sockets were recessed into the back of his hands, wanting to be poked.

Lu Yalan couldn't help but want to tease him when she saw the white and tender child chanting the Buddha's name with a serious face: "Does the little master know where the abbot lives?" She wrinkled her face and made a look of embarrassment: "I don't know the road very well, can I trouble the little master to lead the way?"

The little novice was a little embarrassed, because Uncle Huotou asked him to go to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of green onions, and Uncle Shi also left him a few hot steamed buns for him to hurry over and eat. Send the female benefactor back and then go to the kitchen to the bun to get cold.

Lu Yalan looked at the chubby tender doll with a dilemma on her face, and she coaxed the fat doll: "It's such a little master, in fact, I have been to the abbot's master's residence, but I don't know the way, and I can only remember it if the person who knows the way lets me kiss it." ”

Lu Yalan looked at the fat cub expectantly: "Is the little master willing to help me with this?"

When Xiao Shami heard that there was a solution, he didn't have to be embarrassed, and jumped up happily: "Okay, okay!" After reacting, he pretended to be serious: "Cough." Buddhist disciples are compassionate, and since the female benefactor needs help, the little monk should help him. ”

Lu Yalan couldn't laugh, she was afraid that the fat doll would react if she was teased, so she was busy and accepted it: "Then thank you for your help." After speaking, he couldn't wait to hold the child's chubby little face and kiss the big earth.

The child's face was white and slippery, and in a trance, Lu Yalan seemed to have eaten a mouthful of slippery water tofu.

The child didn't know that he was being taken advantage of, and asked with a serious face: "Does the donor remember it now?" Lu Yalan silently covered her chest, feeling a little pain in her conscience.

She nodded, full of gratitude, "Thanks to the little master, I remembered." ”

Xiao Shami, who thought he was secretly relieved, asked expectantly, "Can the female benefactor find the abbot's residence?"

Lu Yalan nodded, so the child happily left, and after walking a few steps, he thought that others couldn't see it, so he ran up.

Lu Yalan's eyes lit up in the back, so cute!

Hongxing was so envious that she couldn't do it, and condemned: "Miss, how can you bully such a cute little master!"

Lu Yalan also felt a little embarrassed: "It's not that the little master is too cute, I can't hold back for a while!"

Hongxing let go of this matter and sighed instead: "But Miss is much more lively than before." ”

Lu Yalan was stunned: "Really?"

"Yes, Miss, you wouldn't have dared to do such a deceitful thing before. ”

The speaker has no intention of listening, Lu Yalan recalled her behavior in recent days, she was coquettish to Aunt Mu, she didn't hide her emotions at all to Master Yuan, and she was still playing with Buddhist scriptures and red apricots, she couldn't help blushing a little, she didn't realize that she was becoming more and more naïve.

Lu Yalan complained a little about Hongxing: "Hongxing, you are really, since you found out, why didn't you tell me, I was laughed at by Aunt Shepherd." ”

Hongxing looked at her young lady's shiny cheeks, and said seriously: "But I think the current young lady is very good, happier than before, healthier than before, and has more friends than before." ”

Lu Yalan was stunned for a moment, and showed a big smile: "You're right, I'm really not as bitter and hateful as before." If the monasteries are all living like this, I don't think there's anything terrible about being a nun. She thought for a while and said, "However, I won't be so reckless in the future, it's one thing to not want to be bullied, it's another thing to fight back, and it's very stupid to gamble your life for the sake of anger." ”

As the two spoke, they had already walked to Master Yuan's residence, and Hongxing stepped forward and knocked on the door, and quickly got Master Yuan's permission.

The fragrance of tea in the quiet room curls, the mist of hot air wafts out from the teacup around the whole room, but also blurs the faces of the people in the room, Mrs. Mu and Master Yuan sit opposite each other and drink tea quietly, the whole quiet room is full of Zen. A door is like separating the mortal world from Elysium.

No one greeted her, and Lu Yalan didn't care, she quietly walked to Mrs. Mu and sat down, Master Liyuan poured hot tea for her, she pursed her lips and smiled, and she didn't make a sound, just enjoying the rare purity with the fragrance of tea.

The shadow of the sunlight through the window gradually lengthened, and I don't know how long it took, Lu Yalan was almost intoxicated by this atmosphere of physical and mental innocence, and Master Yuan spoke: "Master Lu is here to resign?"

The master said a question, but his tone was firm, Lu Yalan was not surprised, Master Yuan's Buddhism was far-reaching and famous, and it was not unusual to see that she would go down the mountain tomorrow.

"Yes, my family sent someone to pick me up, and I am going to go home tomorrow, and I have come to thank the master and the aunt for taking care of me these days. ”

When it comes to resignation, Lu Yalan is still a little depressed. These days have been very pleasant in the mountains, there are no unguardable little calculations, and there is no need to guess whether others have something to say, and they have also met two elders who take care of themselves very much, Lu Yalan feels that all the previous days are not as easy as these days, and she is more and more reluctant to think that she will not know how long she will have to wait for the next meeting.

Mrs. Mu put down the teacup and patted Lu Yalan's hand: "Good boy, don't worry, we won't break off contact." ”

Seeing Lu Yalan looking at her suspiciously, Mrs. Mu blinked mysteriously: "You saved me, my family has to thank you." In a few days, when my son comes back, I will ask him to come and visit. ”

Lu Yalan was stunned, there have been a lot of messy things in the past few days, Mrs. Mu said at the gate of the mountain that day that she wanted her son to come to thank her had already been left behind by her, and now when she mentioned it again, Lu Yalan felt like a lifetime, feeling that it was a long time ago, "Aunt Mu really doesn't need it, the bracelet you gave me is already very valuable, there really doesn't have to be so solemn." ”

Seeing that Lu Yalan hadn't come to her senses yet, Mrs. Mu couldn't help but say more clearly: "My son is a few years older than you, and he is still unmarried, it's not that I boast, my kid has been a matchmaker since he became a boy, well, the threshold has been broken by the matchmaker." The monks don't speak, and they don't believe you to ask the master. ”

Lu Yalan didn't pay attention to Mrs. Mu's vague words, and it wasn't until this that she understood Mrs. Mu's intention of mentioning her son three times and twice in front of her.

Lu Yalan believes that Mrs. Mu's son is very good, and only if she doesn't pay attention to everything can she raise Mrs. Mu's kind and generous and childlike character, she didn't expect such an adventure to go up the mountain, Lu Yalan was so shy at first that she couldn't do it, and a faint layer of powder floated on her jade white cheeks, but she quickly calmed down again.

She endured her shame and said in a low voice: "Aunt Mu, don't say it anymore, it's not my turn to make decisions about marriage, besides, besides, it's ......"

"Besides, you have been divorced, and you have a loss of honor, I am afraid that you are not worthy of my son. Mrs. Mu directly said Lu Yalan's unfinished words.

"Aunt Mu!" Lu Yalan raised her head suddenly, her eyes under her bangs were slightly red, and there was a faint flash of water, and her cheeks, which were reddened just now, had now turned pale, and she didn't know whether she was angry or anxious, Lu Yalan's voice was loud and fast, and only she knew the caution and inferiority complex hidden in it.

Mrs. Mu knew that she was divorced, and Lu Yalan was no longer surprised after she was surprised. In Yancheng, the Lu family's every move has attracted a lot of attention, and the news of her divorce has spread quickly or slowly.

She did not deliberately conceal her identity when she intersected with Mrs. Mu, and if Mrs. Mu intended to get married, it would be enough to inquire clearly these days.

It's just that being divorced by her childhood sweetheart is a scar in Lu Yalan's heart that has not healed, and it can't be touched easily, which will be said directly, although Lu Yalan understands in her heart that Mrs. Mu has no malicious intentions, but she is still a little angry.

Mrs. Mu sometimes looks like a child, full of inquisitive interest in everything around her, but this will make her a wise elder, and she looks softly at the junior she admires: "I have gone through many ups and downs in my life, although I do not praise the affairs of others, but what I want to tell you is that women are naturally weaker than men, and it is always the man who holds the initiative between men and women, but we cannot be arrogant and impose crimes that do not belong to ourselves on ourselves." ”

Lu Yalan glared at Mrs. Mu until her eyes were sore, until tears flowed out of her eyes, she still stared at Mrs. Mu stubbornly, as if this would keep her from collapse. Mrs. Mu gently hugged Lu Yalan and sighed: "It has never been your fault that you have been dismissed. ”

Lu Yalan couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell like heavy rain, she buried herself on Mrs. Mu's shoulder, smelling Mrs. Mu's fresh and soft body-fragrance, which was the smell of her imaginary mother.

Lu Yalan only sobbed silently at first, her whole body was like the waves on the sea, and the tears quickly soaked through her clothes, but she bit her lip and didn't make a sound, which made people feel distressed.

Feeling Mrs. Mu gently caressing her back, just like a person who is used to being lonely, once someone stretches out his hand, the defense line will collapse instantly, Lu Yalan, who has never been treated like this, finally collapsed, sobbing turned into a small cry, and then turned into a howling cry, Lu Yalan didn't know what she was crying about, but she felt that suddenly there was an endless grievance: "Hiccup...... Never hiccup ever somebody.... Hiccup told me about these hiccups ......"

She was crying and hiccuping, looking a little embarrassed and funny, but no one in the room laughed.

Hongxing also quietly reddened her eyes, she knew that although Miss had not mentioned the divorce after she woke up, in fact, Miss had always kept it in her heart, and no one could touch it. Today, Mrs. Mu is relieved, and thinks that it will be much better for the young lady to come. Hongxing handed Mrs. Mu a grateful look.

Lu Yalan kept crying, she didn't know how long she had been crying, and when she stabilized her mood and raised her head, she found that the quiet room had been lit.

Lu Yalan didn't dare to raise her head, she said embarrassedly: "Aunt Mu, I stained your clothes, and the master, I'm sorry, I didn't know to delay you for so long......"

A warm hand was placed on the back of Lu Yalan's hand, Lu Yalan finally stopped talking nonsense, she looked up, and saw the gentleness and kindness in the eyes of Aunt Mu and Master Yuan, the uneasy nerves relaxed at once, and the tears that were finally stopped were about to overflow out of her eyes, and her rare childish flat mouth: "Why are you so good to me?"
