Liang Jian was very embarrassed to be asked by Master Zhikong, after all, he had not come to see Master Zhikong once for so many years, and he couldn't get over it in terms of etiquette. People often get caught up in their egos and forget about people who don't have much use in the near future. This is also a very helpless thing, because everyone's time and energy are limited.

Now that he was asked by Master Zhikong, Liang Jian thought that in the future, he would set aside some time every month to regularly contact important people in his life, not for any too utilitarian reasons. Just because everyone used to be such good friends, they shouldn't just lose contact, such as Zhang Qiang at the top level, Gao Chenghan at the provincial and ministerial level, friends at the prefectural and municipal levels, and adoptive parents who are in the same province as themselves, and I haven't seen them for a long time......

Liang Jian's thoughts drifted a little far. Master Zhikong didn't interrupt him, just sat cross-legged across from him, waiting quietly, his hands in the wide monk's robes, and smiling.

"Governor Liang, I'm going to see the temple environment, once here. Niu Da knew that Liang Jian and Master Zhikong might have a deep talk, so he took the initiative to withdraw.

Liang Jian drifted back from his thoughts, and said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Master Zhikong, I'm sorry, I'm distracted. ”

"Why be embarrassed. Master Zhikong said with a smile, "Master Liang, I can think of Lao Ke and come all the way to accompany Lao Ge to be in a daze, Lao Ge is very happy, why be embarrassed." ”

"But I really haven't been here for a long time. Liang Jian still felt sorry.

"If you have fate, you will see each other, and if you don't have fate, you will be separated," Master Zhikong said, "This is the normal state of life." This is true for every grass and tree, and the same is true for every life and the world. What's more, Lord Liang, isn't he already here at this moment? Isn't that great?"

Liang Jian listened to Zhikong's words containing Zen, his apologies gradually disappeared, his self-blame dissolved, his mood became quiet and open, and his view of life quietly changed.

Then, Liang Jian talked about the changes in his life and his position over the years, time passed, the trees outside the meditation room quietly fell leaves, and before he knew it, it was almost time for lunch.

Liang Jian said to Master Zhikong: "Master, in addition to coming to see Master Zhikong today, Liang Jian also brings a greeting to one person. ”

Master Zhikong calmly asked, "Which benefactor is it?"

Liang Jian said: "This friend of mine is named Bi Hua, I wonder if Master Zhikong can remember?"

Master Zhikong said: "We met thirty years ago, and we never forgot each other all the way in our lives. If Lord Liang encounters him next time, help me bring him a word: While Monk Zhikong has not yet passed away, come and see Lao Gu as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Master Zhikong's words, Liang Jian somehow suddenly shed tears and splashed on the futon.

Until a long time later, Liang Jian couldn't forget the four seemingly casual verses of Zhikong.

Liang Jian hurriedly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and said to Master Zhikong, "I will definitely bring the words." ”

"It's not early. Liang Jian got up and said goodbye, "Master Zhikong, I'm going back." ”

Zhikong also stayed for a short time, accompanied Liang Jian to stand up, and went to the open space outside the meditation room.

A ginkgo tree, overgrown with green fruits.

Master Zhikong picked up one of the fruits from the ground and handed it to Liang Jian.

Liang Jian was puzzled for a while, and took it very puzzled.

I only heard Master Zhikong say: "Last time, another benefactor also came to visit the old man. ”

That's right, Master Zhikong sold Liang Jian before, but now he talks about it himself. Liang Jian asked, "Who is that benefactor?"

Master Zhikong said, "It doesn't matter who the benefactor is. Importantly, she asked the old man a question. She asked, she always felt that what she was doing now was not what she should have done. What she does best, she is not qualified to do now. She was so distressed that she didn't know what to do?"

Liang Jian faintly felt who Master Zhikong was talking about. But he didn't break it, but asked, "So, I don't know how you, Master Zhikong, answered her?"

Master Zhikong said: "I said at the time, I can't answer this question. However, in this world, there must be someone who can answer her. ”

Liang Jian asked, "Who is the person who can answer her?"

Zhikong Master He Shiyi smiled and said, "Master Liang, this person is you." I'll give you this question now. ”

It turned out that Master Zhikong gave Liang Jian the ginkgo fruit, which meant to transfer this question to him.

Liang Jian hid the ginkgo fruit in his trouser pocket.

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he also bent down to Master Zhikong: "I know, Master Zhikong." ”

When going down the mountain, Liang Jian was both relaxed and heavy.

Relaxed, because many doubts in his mind have been solved, and heavy, because he still has a lot to do. However, Liang Jian said to himself that a meaningful life should be both easy and heavy.

Niu Da opened the car door for Liang Jian, and Liang Jian looked back and looked at the mountain temple. At the entrance of the temple, the old monk Zhikong was still standing there, and he joined Liang Jian again. Liang Jian also said goodbye again.

Liang Jian no longer hesitated and sat in the car. The car went down the mountain and drove in the direction of Ningzhou, the provincial capital.

The Jingzhou-Ningzhou Expressway is only about 40 minutes, and it is expected to reach the provincial government in more than an hour, so Liang Jian said, let's eat in the province.

What I didn't expect was that I was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. The traffic flow of Ningjing Expressway is also one of the best in the country, so I can only wait patiently and move forward at a slow speed. At this time, they were all a little hungry. Xiao Fu said: "Governor Liang, there are instant noodles in the car, and I have prepared hot water, if you want to satisfy your hunger, you can eat some first." ”

Liang Jian said: "Let's wait a little longer, I see that the car in front of me is moving." ”

The convoy with a long queue was really moving.

About half an hour later, they saw a car accident in front of them, and one of them turned out to be an ambulance from the hospital. Other social vehicles have made a detour. The speed of the car that passed around was noticeably faster, apparently because the ambulance had collided with another vehicle and blocked the traffic.

When they got closer, they found that the wheels of the ambulance were twisted and could not move. The social vehicle that collided with the ambulance, the left door was completely dented, the wheels were damaged, and it was clear that a tow truck was needed.

Liang Jian and the others were going to follow the car in front of them and went around together. But they found that a man was stopping the car, with an extremely anxious look on his face, as if begging the car to stop.

However, on the one hand, the car in front of me was anxious because of the traffic jam and wanted to leave immediately, and on the other hand, it was probably worried about getting into trouble, so none of the cars stopped.

When Liang Jian and their car approached, the driver, Xiao Fu, wanted to avoid it. However, Liang Jian told him that after driving over, he would stop at the side.

Xiao Fu said: "Governor Liang, the ambulances are all there, let's leave it alone." Liang Jian said: "The ambulance can't be driven anymore, and it is estimated that the man is really in a hurry." Niu Da will go down and have a look. Niu Da agreed, and rushed down to see as soon as the car stopped.

After a while, Niu Da came to report: "Governor Liang, there is a sick woman in the ambulance, and it is her husband who stopped the car on the road. Because they were seriously ill, they were transferred from Jingzhou to Ningzhou Provincial Hospital for surgery, and they all made an appointment. However, I didn't expect the ambulance to collide with other cars, which delayed the time, and it was almost time for surgery, so the man was very anxious. Although the ambulance in Jingzhou has notified the hospital to send it to another ambulance, the car is not so fast. Even if I came, I couldn't get up for a while because of the traffic jam. ”

Liang Jian said: "You go and ask, can you use our car to send it? If you can, use our car to send it over first." ”

Xiao Fu said, "Governor Liang, isn't this okay? Your car will be dirty." "As a driver, Xiao Fu has to make sure that the leader's car is as clean and tidy as possible.

Liang Jian said to Xiao Fu: "You listen to me. If the car is dirty, it can be washed, but if there are no people, there will be no more. ”

When Niu Da heard Liang Jian say this, he no longer hesitated, and ran to the back to ask again. Soon he came back and said, "You can send it in a car, but you can only have one family, a patient and a doctor inside." ”

Liang Jian said: "Then let them use it." We'll wait on the road. Liang Jian also told the driver, "Xiaofu, this is a political task for you, and it must be completed well, and the patient must be sent to the hospital quickly and steadily." If the hospital cancels the surgery due to time issues, you should also let me know as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Fu saw that Liang Jian said so seriously, so he said, "Yes." I followed Governor Liang's instructions. ”

Xiao Fu is a driver in the army, and his skills are very good, as long as he drives seriously, he will definitely be able to drive faster and more steadily than ordinary drivers.

At this time, the man from the ambulance rushed over and gratefully took Liang Jian's hand: "Thank you so much, you are a good person." ”

Liang Jian said, "Hurry up and ask the doctor to move your wife to this car." "Thank you, thank you. ”

Liang Jian's chauffeur drove away with patients, family members and doctors, leaving Liang Jian and Niu Da on the highway. Yesterday's heavy rain was exchanged for today's clear skies. Vice Governor Liang Jian and Secretary Niu Da were exposed to the sun for nearly two hours on the highway and starved for nearly two hours.

In the meantime, the driver called and said that when they arrived, it was still about ten minutes later than the time scheduled by the hospital, and the hospital said that it would not do it. Liang Jian asked Niu Da to call Li Rui and asked him to solve the problem in the hospital. For Li Rui, this was not a difficult task, the matter was quickly resolved, and the operation was successfully completed.

At this time, the highway was also opened. Liang Jian and Niu Da got into the car of Jingzhou Hospital and went to the provincial government.

The driver of Jingzhou Hospital, I hope that Liang Jian and Niu Da can leave their contact information and thank them in the future. However, neither Liang Jian nor Niu Da said it, and Liang Jian was worried that someone would think he was hype.

The driver remembered that the place where they got off the bus was the provincial government, and he felt that Liang Jian's appearance was somewhat familiar. He reported the incident to the relevant leaders of the hospital.

Back in the office, Liang Jian took out Master Zhikong's ginkgo from his pocket and put it on the bookcase shelf behind him.

The cafeteria was obviously out of food, so Liang Jian had to ask Niu Da to go to the commissary to get a few packets of instant noodles to satisfy his hunger. Li Rui came in to report the matter, and saw Liang Jian and Niu Da eating instant noodles together, and felt very incredible.

Liang Jian asked, "Secretary-General Li, do you want to have a bowl too?"

Li Rui's stomach was full, but when Governor Liang asked, he said, "I listen to Governor Liang, so let's have a bowl." ”
