Chapter 2 Did You Hear Me?

"Hey, Mommy? Did you hear me? Can't you hear me?"

"Excuse me, help me call Pan Jingru. ”

The sound is so familiar.

"Moses, I'm Jingru!"

"I'm at the gate of your factory. ”

"Ah, why didn't you say a word and suddenly ran over?"

"Before I finished speaking, you hung up the phone, and you don't have a mobile phone. ”

"How did you find here?"

"Oh, I'm Moses, a wise Jew!"

"You wait, I'll take a leave of absence, I'll go out!"

When Jingru ran out of the gate of the electronics factory, she saw the tall Moses at a glance, with wet hair sticking to his forehead. When Jingru rushed to Moses, she didn't know what to do.

In movies and TV series, the heroine is like a cannonball, throwing herself into the arms of her boyfriend, and the boyfriend picks up the beautiful heroine and spins it on the spot, 360 degrees, 720 degrees, and the heroine's skirt floats up like petals......

Hey, the dream is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

"You, you, have you eaten?" Jingru said one of the most common greetings in Chinese.

"No, I don't. ”

"When did you arrive?"

"Three o'clock in the morning. ”

"So early, are you stupid?"

"You hung up on me, there is only this train from Shanghai to Wenzhou. ”

"How did you know I was here?"

"As I told you, I am Moses, a wise Jew. Let's hurry up and eat something, my stomach is already unwilling. ”

"Okay, there's an early one over there, and the boss is quite real. ”

As they sat in the diner, Jingru watched Moses gobble.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. ”

"A full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry. ”

Jingru stared at Moses' chewing cheek.

"Of course I don't know, I wonder if you didn't eat dinner yesterday?"

"How do you know?"

"For I am the ...... of Moses, a wise Jew"

Jingru suddenly got stuck when she said this, because she wanted to say "girlfriend", but she didn't think it was appropriate, let's say it's classmates, they haven't taken a class together, they say it's alumni, it's only the last year of elementary school, it's only eight months to be exact. Because he met Moses on October 25 in the fifth grade because of the sprinkler truck, in June of the following year, Moses was admitted to a key junior high school, and the two were separated by a world. I think all the students of my alma mater, from the seven-year-old first-grade elementary school sisters with snotty noses to the old man and old lady who are about to go to the crematorium to climb the chimney.

"Because what are you of Moses, the wise Jew?"

Moses asked, stretching his neck and trying to swallow a bite of the meal he hadn't chewed enough.

"I am the ...... of Moses the Wise Jew"

"Say—ah—" Moses looked at Jingru's somewhat reddened face.

Jingru can choose a lot of nouns, but she doesn't want to choose, and she feels embarrassed to say the nouns she wants to choose.

"Say, what art thou Moses?"

"What do you say I'm the wise Jew Moses?" Jingru kicked the ball to Moses, and Moses was embarrassed.

"Thou art the wise Jew Moses' ......"

"I'm a wise Jew, Moses, what?," Jingru smirked and looked at Moses with an embarrassed expression.

"You're, you're, you're Moses' henchman!" Moses finally found the term to use in the fifth grade.

"The farts will follow you for a fifth grade, and then you will run away with your tail between your legs, and the farts will never smell your stinky farts again, unless your stinky farts can float across the Pacific Ocean and to East Asia on the east wind. ”

"How long do you want to follow?"

"How long will you let me follow?"

Jingru kicked the ball to Moses again.

"If you don't like my fart, you can follow me for as long as you want!"

Silence, both Moses and Jingru fell into silence, the silence of the heat waves, the silence of the stormy waves.

"Ass!"

"Hmm. ”

Moses broke the silence first.

"Don't you want to know how I found your address?"

"Like, how did you find it?"

"Because of the landline you use!"

Moses the Jew was wise. ”

"I'm not a Jew, I'm a false Jew at best. ”

"Then can Murong's mother be counted as a Jew?"

Murong Moses shook his head.

"It is very difficult to be a true Jew, to read every day, and to follow a strict diet, not to eat pork, not to eat bloody, not to eat milk with meat, and to stop all work as soon as the sun goes down on Friday. ”

"Aren't the Jews industrious, and why do they stop working on Friday as soon as the sun goes down?"

Friday is the Sabbath, and as soon as the sun sets, God has created man to work for five days, and it is time to rest. The Jews should learn from God, work five days a week like God, and then stop working and start resting like God. ”

"Understood, people who don't take a break don't actually work. ”

"People who don't take a break are not people. ”

"Seriously, false Jew?"

"God created man to make people live like God, that is man, strictly speaking, a person who does not rest, no matter how many reasons and excuses he has, in fact, he can work on donkeys and horses, not real people. ”

"We, the workers who have to work overtime every day, are not people?"

At least that's what the Jews think, people who work hard to earn money are always poor. ”

Jingru stood up and began to circle around Moses and look at Moses.

"What are you doing, with a fart?"

"I, a man who worked hard to earn money, saw the soul of Moses, the Jew, burrow into your body!"

"Okay, the wine is not enough, the meal is full, let's go, go out to visit Wenzhou. ”

Moses put his bag on his back, and the two walked out of the breakfast shop.

"Hey, fake Jew, please stay!"

Behind him came the shouts of a small restaurant owner.

The two turned their heads, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Fake Jews, you ...... money for food"

Both Moses and Jingru hurried to touch the money. Jingru moved quickly, quickly took out a few change bills from her butt pocket and handed them to the restaurant owner.

"Ten yuan is enough, welcome to the small shop. ”

Moses' hand was still in his bag looking for his wallet.

"How can I get you to pay?"

"When you come to me, I am the landlord, so I should invite you to dinner. Your wallet is estimated to kill a thief. ”

"When I took the train at night, I was afraid that I would fall asleep and my wallet would be stolen, so I hid my wallet in the back of my bag. ”

"It's wise, if you lose your wallet and you can't find me again, Moses, the wise Jew, will beg in the streets. ”

"Hehe, Jews cannot tolerate their fellow Jews begging for food, and Jews in difficulty can get help from their fellow Jews as long as they find a synagogue or a local Jewish community. ”

"Very well, Moses, for the sake of the lecture you gave me on Jewish culture, I will treat you to another meal at noon today. ”

"It's not suitable, it's not suitable, I invite you, I invite you. ”

"Well, you invite me at noon, the whole world knows that the Jews are the richest, and I invite you to go to a nunnery and monastery that many people have not visited. ”

"What?nunnery?monastery?"

"I can't tell you now, just follow me, it was discovered by a traveler who likes to ride, and few locals know about it. ”

Jingru stood at the fork in the road and didn't leave.

"Why don't you leave?" asked Moses.

"I don't know which way to go?" Jingru said in fear.

"You don't know which way to go? Haven't you been?"

"I've just heard from the donkey friend about the route, but the donkey friend doesn't seem to say that he will encounter this fork in the road. Jingru said embarrassedly.

"One leads to the valley and the other leads to the top of the mountain, so is the temple generally built on the top of the hill or in the valley?" Moses asked.

"I don't know, I'm not a monk. ”

"Of course you are not a monk, the monks are all men, and the female ones are called nuns. ”

"Then I'll go up and explore the way, and you're waiting for me here. Moses walked along the path that led to the top of the mountain.

"I'm going with you. Jingru chased after her from behind.

"Save your energy, do you understand? If it's not for this path, we still need to come back? Why is your face so pale, not normal?"

"The doctor said that I am a little anemic, and it would be nice to eat more nutritious food. “

"Then you still wait for me here, I'll set the route and climb with me. “

"I'm afraid of the big bad wolf. Jingru said embarrassedly.

"Hehehe, let's go, follow the fart, go the wrong way, you want to follow me?"

"That's the hardcore ass. ”

The two walked along the path to the top of the hill, and Moses, looking around as he went, sometimes crouching down to look at the footprints on the road, sometimes picking up the grass on the side of the road and searching for something.

"You can be a scout!"

"I'm reasoning about which way leads to the Heming Temple. Moses replied as he lay on the ground.

"Did you reason it out?"

"This road should not lead to Hemeian Temple. Moses got up from the ground and said.

"According to?"

"Because on this road, there is nothing else to discard except a few mineral water bottles and green vegetable leaves. Mineral water bottles, it is impossible to tell whether they were discarded by locals or outsiders, but green vegetable leaves, which should be discarded by locals, perhaps, there is their vegetable patch in front. It's impossible for outsiders to carry vegetables up and down the mountain. But it should be returned immediately and taken the other way. ”

"The evidence is woefully insufficient. ”

"Return immediately. Moses said in no uncertain terms, and went back.

"What if we go wrong?"

"Wrong, turn back!"

"Come on, let's go back and forth on this road this day. ”

"If you're my real hardcore ass, right or wrong, just follow me. ”

"Hey, you think you're the real Moses?"

The two of them turned back and walked down the path that led to the valley. Moses was not at ease, so he did not go, but observed the path. In the grass of his sheep intestine path, he found a ball of toilet paper and kicked it with his foot, revealing a pink condom inside. Moses turned around and shouted at Jingru, "It must be that tourist attraction ahead." ”

"Conceited, arrogant, self-serving. What if it weren't for that tourist attraction?"

"I'm conceited, I'm self-serving, but I'm not arrogant. ”

"Hey, why don't you admit to arrogance?"

"Because of arrogance, these two words are said together. ”

"Arrogance is stinky together, arrogance is stinky together, your Chinese is taught by the physical education teacher, right?"

"No, my PE was taught by my Chinese teacher. ”

"Isn't that just a physical education teacher teaching Chinese? Write a Chinese character, missing arms and legs. ”

"I bet this road is the one that leads to that tourist attraction, because I see what tourists throw at it. That thing, it shouldn't have been thrown by locals. ”

"What's that?"

"Well, can't tell you. ”

"What's it, tell me, what's there?"

"Girls are not suitable. ”

"Why are you still beautiful?"

"Let's go, if you make a mistake, I'll carry you back. ”

The girl's curiosity was aroused, Jingru turned her head and trotted towards the grass that Moses had just scouted, and after a while, her pretty little face turned from white to red, and she slowly walked back with a red face.

"What do you see?" Moses asked with a wicked smile.

"Isn't it just a balloon? Jingru pretended to be well-informed and didn't care, the purpose was to cover up those two words, one was embarrassed and the other was embarrassed.

They actually came to the legendary tourist attraction, which was actually two dilapidated monasteries no more than 100 meters apart. The leaves fall all over the ground in front of the door, and there are large plaques hanging above the gates of the two temples, the one on the left is called "Hemei-anji", and the temple on the right is also hung with a plaque: "Hemei-ji Temple".

Jingru and Moses, standing between the gates of the courtyard, looked up at the plaque to the left, and then looked at the plaque, and the two of them repeatedly chanted the names of the two temples, "Heming Temple" and "Heming Temple".

Moses asked Jingru, "What does the name "Heming-an" and "Heming-an" mean?"

"What do you mean?" Jingru asked Moses with a bewildered look.

"Shall we go in and ask the abbot?" said Moses.

The two walked into the gate of Heming Temple, the courtyard is also slightly dilapidated, in the tall Daxiong Treasure Hall, only the old abbot knocked on the wooden fish and chanted the "Great Compassion Mantra", the sound of chanting the "Great Compassion Mantra" lingered back and forth between the Liang Yu of the empty Daxiong Treasure Hall. Jingru and Moses, who were still arguing just now, had already entered the Mahavira Treasure Hall and were immediately shocked by the majesty of Jingmu.

Moses cautiously walked up to the abbot, "Excuse me, abbot." ”

The old abbot opened his wrinkled eyes slightly, "If there is any problem, please tell me." ”

"Abbot, can you tell us about the origin of the name "Heming-an?"

The abbot glanced at the young man and woman and nodded slightly.

"A long, long time ago, on both sides of a river in the capital, there were two official eunuchs, two mansions across the river, chickens and dogs smelled each other, the ancestors of the two families were feuded, several generations of people did not get along with each other, the small river between the two mansions, by the people of Beijing, jokingly called the "small chasm", a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a certain hour, two old and dead houses at the same time came out of the baby's cry, a family gave birth to a boy. Another family gave birth to a girl at the same time. When one child weeps, the other will cry. In a certain month, there was an epidemic of typhoid fever in the capital, and two babies were infected at the same time, and they went to the imperial doctor's mansion in the capital for treatment, and the two babies were crying all the way. ”

The feud between the two families is well known, and even the servants of the two families ignore each other. ”

"What kind of feud is between the two of them?" Jingru asked.

"It seems that the ancestor of the baby boy's family was in charge of Dali Temple during the period when he created a judicial injustice case for the baby girl's family, many people were executed by Ling Chi, and the corpses were exposed for three days, and the female relatives were exiled to the border to become military prostitutes, and the ancestral grave was dug up and exposed to the sun for many days. ”

"And what happened later?" Moses interjected.

Later, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and rehabilitated Zhaoxue, but the feud between the two families has been difficult to resolve for a hundred years, and they have never interacted with each other. ”

"What does that have to do with our Heming Temple and Heming Temple?"

"The two male and female babies who were born on the same day, the same day and the same year in the same year, when they grew up, met in the bookstore, fell in love at first sight, and made a private decision for life. ”

"The result?"

The result, of course, was strongly opposed by the family. ”

"And then?" asked Moses and Jingru in unison.

Later, in a fit of rage, the young man escaped into the Buddha's gate, came to the place where you stood, and devoted himself to the Buddha. ”

"Where's the girl?"

"After a lot of hardships, the girl finally found a young man who had become the head of the temple here, and of course the young man was already middle-aged. ”

"Is that host still vulgar?" Jingru asked eagerly.

"Although the earthly world is big, the worldly people in the earthly world are too small-minded, how can they be accommodated?"

"Is the girl married?" asked Moses.

The girl built a small nunnery with branches and thatch, and everyone did not know the relationship between this beautiful and erudite nun and the young erudite presiding officer, and at the Buddhist scripture debate meeting, the wonderful debate between the two caused a shock in the Buddhist circles at that time, and the small nunnery and this small monastery became famous, and for a time became an important place for Zen learning on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It was also at this Buddhist scripture debate conference that the learned nun shook hands with the learned host for the first time, and after the debate, the learned male host gave the bronze bowl of the Dharma instrument that had followed him for many years to the learned nun, and the nun gave back a beautiful bronze bell in the nunnery to the male host. For a time, many Buddhist disciples have joined the two of them, and several Zen disciples trained by the two have later become famous masters of Zen. ”

"It seems that you can't give a bell for a gift!" Moses asked, puzzled.

"How can a man in the world understand?"

Jingru pinched Moses' arm with her hand, "That's the bell of love, false Jews, you Jews can't understand Buddhism." ”

The old abbot continued to close his eyes and narrate: "The nunnery and the monastery have become the two schools of Zen Buddhism, Yin and Yang, and they have been fighting each other for more than ten years in Zen academics. A few years later, both of their disciples were already leaders in the Zen world. On the wall, the two masters left the same admonition to their disciples: "The Buddha loves people, and people love people, without love, without Buddha, and without people!" ”

"Where have the two masters gone?"

"I don't know what to do. ”

"What happened later?" asked Jingru with her cheeks on her cheeks.

A few years later, when the disciples tidied up the room of the female Zen master, they found the copper of the female Zen master presented by the male host in the Nanmu box, and took it out and put it on the table, and the next morning, a disciple suddenly heard the sound of the sound of the sound faintly coming from the female Zen master's Zen room, and the disciple was overjoyed, thinking that the female Zen master had traveled for many years and returned in the middle of the night, but when he walked to the door of the meditation room, he found that the door was still hung with a rusty lock. Listen intently, and the sound of screaming comes out. The disciple thought that something was wrong with his ears, so he called two eight or nine-year-old nuns to come and listen, but the sound of screaming stopped abruptly, and the two little nuns heard nothing. ”

"It's a hallucination, or an illusion. Moses said with a frown.

The disciple was still puzzled, because he had clearly heard the faint sound of screaming coming from the meditation room. He often ran to the door and window of the meditation room to listen, and finally one morning the disciple heard the sound of screaming again from the meditation room, and she shouted that someone, but that day she was the only one left in the nunnery, because everyone came to the opposite temple to listen to the quadrennial Zen debate competition, and the only answer to her was the Buddhist music of the bells and drums of the temple not far away. ”

"What the hell?" muttered Moses.

"The pure land of Buddhism, do not lie, ghosts always live in people's hearts, and there is no place for ghosts to live in the universe. The abbot's face suddenly became serious.

"Is it true that this time I heard myself chirping again?"

"This time it's true that I heard the sound of the ringing in myself, it's true!"

"What happened later?" Jingru asked.

Later, everyone in the nunnery heard the sound of self-congregation, and everyone panicked, some people thought that the female Zen master might have disappeared and might no longer be alive, and the soul of the female Zen master had returned to the nunnery to defeat the Buddha. The timid nuns left the nunnery one after another, and the host had also asked the gods and men to do it many times, but they were helpless and still sometimes screamed. One by one, the gods walked away. The nunnery gradually left only the old host. ”

"What a pity!" Jingru said regretfully.

More than 20 years later, a young man came to this temple and this nunnery, donated a sum of gold and silver, rebuilt this temple and this nunnery, and made only one request, the temple was renamed Heming Temple, and this nunnery was renamed Heming Temple Nunnery. The plaque you saw on the lintel was hung by the young man. ”

"Can we go and see the bell that the Zen master gave to the temple?" asked Moses.

"Of course, please come with me. Jingru and Moses followed the abbot to the Bell Pavilion. The paint had been peeled off, a corner of the pavilion had collapsed, and only the small bronze bell hung from the beam.

"May we strike the bell a few times, abbot?" asked Moses.

"It's better not to hit the bell, donor. ”

"Why, Abbot?"

"If you hit the bell of this temple, you will have to listen to the opening of the temple. The abbot sighed as he stroked the bronze bell.

"The abbot is really discerning. Moses exclaimed.

"The monks do not accept praise, if you are persistent, I will follow your wishes, and this bell has not been rung for many years. The female donor can ring the bell here, and the male donor will follow me to the nunnery. ”

"I want to go and see the one that I can ring, abbot, please, let me go with me. ”

The abbot shook his head and said nothing, leading Moses to walk away quickly, and when he reached the gate of the temple, the abbot turned his head and said, "Female benefactor, please strike the bell three times in three minutes." Don't bump too much, remember!

The abbot led Moses out of the bell pavilion, out of the temple gate, and towards the opposite side of the temple hermitage.

Jingru looked at her watch and began to carefully examine the bell and pavilion. The red pillars of the pavilion with peeling paint are like the pillars of many tourist attractions, and they have become the exposure platform for love vows: "So-and-so came here to visit", "So-and-so, I love you, the sea is dry and the stone is rotten", "I love you, God knows, why don't you know?", "So-and-so, I love you, do you know?", "My dear, where are you? I must find you! Without you, what is the meaning of this life?" ......

Jingru suddenly remembered that she was going to ring the bell, so she hurriedly hugged the wooden pole of the bell with both hands, and slammed it towards the bronze bell, when-dang-dang-the melodious bell floated in the quiet valley, as if calling for something, as if looking for something.

Jingru had heard the bell before, but it was all from the speaker, and now she heard the real bell, she obviously felt that the bell was more shocking than the sound from the speaker, Jingru even suddenly understood why in today's popularization of audio CDs, some people still have to go to the concert hall to enjoy the symphony, it turns out that the sound coming out of the speaker is actually not the real sound of the instrument playing, but the distorted sound.

Because most people's ears have never heard a real symphony, so the so-called hi-fi audiophile audio played in the high-fidelity CD record is considered a symphony, in fact, it is not at all, just like the vitamin AD pills prescribed by doctors to patients, in fact, it is not a real vitamin at all, the capsule is only a vitamin-like, with the effect of vitamins, but it is definitely not a real vitamin, and the music broadcast by the world's most expensive audio is always distorted.

The bell faded into the valley, and the abbot and Moses returned on the fallen leaves.

"Do you hear the bang?"

Moses pretended to smile lightly.

"Did you hear that?"

"Secrecy!

Moses put his finger to his mouth to stop Jingru from continuing to ask.
