Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are significantly fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road. The weather that has been hazy for a long time is also rare to show the sun today, which is very precious. According to local custom, we will go to the temple on this day to pray for blessings. What is different from previous years is that in the past, it was the three of us who took Liu Yuxi together, but this year there are only me and Liu Yuxi.

Tianmin Temple is not a well-known temple in the country, with an area of seven or eight acres, as well as a cramped layout, which even looks a little shabby. However, although the temple is small, the incense is prosperous.

Originally, there were certain rules and procedures for blessing, but today's blessing has become a bit of a "fast food culture" with the changes of the times, and only some necessary steps remain. Those who slaughtered chickens, slaughtered cows, chanted scriptures, and so on were omitted. The old man in the alley would sigh at this every time. It doesn't matter to us young people. For us, praying is more of a remembrance of our ancestors and a kind of cultural inheritance. Regardless of whether it is good or not, the activity of praying for blessings will always remind us of our bits and pieces between the green bricks and tiles of this temple, and recall our green years.

Although the weather was good, the cold wind still drilled into the human body through the cracks. Liu Yuxi wore a pale yellow windbreaker today, which looked fresh and intellectual. But in such weather, it looks a little thin, and after a while, I sneezed several times.

"When you worship the Bodhisattva, you have to kowtow twice. "I'm serious.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yuxi rubbed the tip of his red nose.

"Bless you for wearing less and not catching a cold!" I took off my scarf and put it on Liu Yuxi, "The boss is not small, and he won't let the Bodhisattva worry about it, sin and sin!

Liu Yuxi's face flushed: "Dead wood!" reached out to pinch my waist.

It's a small gesture she used to punish me for saying the wrong thing, and after many years, she does it the same as before. And I, in fact, had a feeling of being flattered and forgot to avoid it.

"Oops!" Liu Yuxi didn't hurt when she pinched it, but I pretended to be in pain and cried out. My left hand gripped her squirt around my waist. The cold little hand seemed to inject a hot spring into my heart, and I couldn't say it, "If you pinch me again, you'll be on you!"

"Afraid of you?" Liu Yuxi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at me with a smile, "I'm afraid you're a coward!"

Before I could figure out the meaning of her words, Liu Yuxi pulled out her hand vigorously: "Let's go, are you here to pray for blessings?" Two pieces of red glow flew up her cheeks, and a gust of wind blew through her hair, beautiful like the rebirth of Luoshen, I was a little crazy for a while!

As soon as you enter the temple, it feels like you have entered a bazaar. It is really a sea of people, and I have to feel that China is indeed a large country with a large population. People held incense candles and lined up to flock to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. At this time, there was no room for feet in the square in front of the temple, but people were still slowly moving forward. But the amazing thing is that there are really a lot of people who squeeze in.

Fortunately, Liu Yuxi and I are not devout Buddhists, so it doesn't matter if we are a little farther away from the Daxiong Treasure Hall. We stood at the end of the crowd and listened diligently to the prayers of Venerable Delin for the year.

Of course, we can't hear what Gen Delin is saying. According to the practice of the past, it was just to thank the heavens and the earth and the country, and pray for the peace of the country and the people.

Following Venerable Delin, we chanted the Buddha's name and then bowed three times to the Buddha. Then everyone began to pray.

Liu Yuxi glanced at me and found that I was also looking at her, her face turned red and she glanced at me white, closed her eyes, folded her hands and began to make a wish.

My heart fluttered, and I felt the urge to immediately take her into my arms. Looking at the Buddha in the middle of the hall, he looked solemnly at the sentient beings, and secretly said, sin!

Ring the bell!

The bell rings one hundred and eight times to get rid of the troubles of the world, and it is called "eight hundred bells" in Buddhism. The noisy crowd was quiet at this moment. The bell is mellow and long, mellow and loud, like a handful of dust sweeping away the dust in people's hearts.

I don't know how many times it has been hit, and the quiet crowd suddenly exploded. I didn't know what was going on, but I saw the people close to the main hall retreating one after another.

Three loud bangs irritated my eardrums.

Influenced by police movies since I was a child, I immediately thought of gunshots. I subconsciously threw Liu Yuxi to the ground, I don't know if it will be useful to do this, but I don't want the beautiful woman to be hurt a little.

"Don't move!" I pressed Liu Yuxi's body to straighten up, and slowly raised my head.

The crowd around them, squatting or lying on their stomachs, all came to a standstill. The only one standing was a man in black. The hideous face looked murderous at this time.

"Don't move for me!" The man in black raised his pistol with a hole in the black hole, "Whoever messes around, I'll send him to the West Heaven first, anyway, the monks here can chant the scriptures, and they will go straight over!"

"Don't be afraid!" I squeezed Liu Yuxi's hand, and she curled up in my arms with a pale face. Who would have thought that the Chinese New Year's Eve would encounter such a drama.

There were a few girls around who were scared and cried.

"Chen Zhijun, I know you're in the crowd, you come out for me!" the man in black paced towards me, "Do you know how hard I worked to find you? Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity?"

Chen Zhijun: I was shocked in my heart. More than ten years ago, this name was equivalent to "Chen Haonan" in Y City. I just heard that he went to the provincial capital to open a company. However, the legend about him has always been the talk of the underworld in Y City and even the common people after dinner. The chicken boy has mentioned it to me many times. Is that Chen Zhijun? He's here today?

I looked around and looked for the legendary "Chen Haonan"!

The eyes of the man in black swept around the crowd: "You can't run away, you come out obediently, I'll give you a good time." Otherwise, I'll do it with the woman next to you!"

The anger on the face of the man in black became more and more intense, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Chen Zhijun, I saw it! About forty years old, with a black trench coat and a white scarf. The hair is combed in the slightest. Squatting on the ground, holding a woman in white fur in her arms. The woman had her back to me and couldn't see the woman's face clearly. However, Chen Zhijun's expression was calm, as if he was constantly soothing the emotions of the woman in his arms.

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color did not change, Chen Zhijun, it is difficult to find you!

At this time, Chen Zhijun was only five or six meters away from me.

The man in black was getting closer and closer to Chen Zhijun, twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters。。。。。。

The cold air in the cold wind seems to be mixed with gunpowder, and it may be ignited at any time.

"Scar, long time no see!" Chen Zhijun finally stood up slowly, without a trace of panic in his eyes.

Scar Boy smiled coldly: "Boss Chen is Boss Chen, and I still have the same demeanor at this time! ”

"If there's anything we can sit down and say. ”

"Do you think I can still sit down with you and talk to you like this today?" Scarboy's gun was aimed at Chen Zhijun, "I'll give you a chance now, you can tell me how to talk well now!"

"You let us go now, and I'll keep you from dying. Treat it as if nothing happened today. I, Ah Jun, will do what he says!" Chen Zhijun was full of energy, and every sentence was sonorous and powerful.

The muscles on Scarboy's face shook: "My Scarboy has a rotten life, if it weren't for Boss He, I wouldn't know which rotten ditch I would have died in." When Boss He died, I swore to kill you. Today, I didn't think about going back alive at all, I just asked the Buddha to bless me to avenge my eldest brother today. Hahaha!"

Scarboy's voice trembled a little, it was the kind of trembling of excitement: "Thank you Lord Buddha for your blessing!

Three meters! The distance between me and Scarboy was a little nervous and excited. That's enough distance for me to put Scarboy down, and he's facing away from me. But this was the first time I had ever met a gunman, and the thought of the black muzzle of the gun made my hair stand on end!

Lord Buddha, bless! I prayed to myself. At this time, I really hope that there are gods and Buddhas in the world.

Picking up the incense pot on the ground, I threw it with all my might, and said loudly: "Pick it up!" This shout not only distracted Scar, but also hoped that Chen Zhijun would seize this opportunity and make time and space for me.

Scar Boy obviously didn't expect someone to do something behind him at this time, and he was startled. Before his face was completely turned around, his head was smashed by the clay pot, and the blood mixed with the incense ash in the clay pot instantly confused his eyes.

Chen Zhijun was stunned for a moment, but the true colors of the subsequent years of fighting were revealed. Such a good opportunity, he will not let go. Immediately, a run-up knocked Scarboy down. Both hands pressed the hand holding the gun tightly to the ground.

I knew I couldn't show mercy at this point, so I leapt up and kicked Scarboy off the hand holding the gun. With a howl, the gun-wielding hand finally let go of the gun. And I was relieved.

Next, it was a lot simpler, and many people also participated. Scar was tied up tightly under the power of the people, waiting for the arrival of the police. It's just a pair of vicious eyes staring at me, hating to tear me apart.

"Young man, you're very bold!" Chen Zhijun stretched out his hand, "Chen Zhijun, get to know me." ”

"Shen Luomu!" I also stretched out my hand.

Chen Zhijun's hands are thick, and the crisscrossing scars on the back of his hands remind me that this is a man with a story.

"Thank you!" Chen Zhijun squeezed my hand and nodded solemnly to me.

I also nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Buddha, I have to pay a few more incense sticks when I go back!"

Liu Yuxi came to my side at some point, and held my left hand with her right hand. The sweat of my palms soaked into my hands and penetrated into my heart.

I really still love this woman!

The bell of prayer ended leisurely at this time.

The sun is still there, the cold wind is still there, and the beauty is still there.

It dawned on me that today was a good day.

Today, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!
