Bai Xiaoli has always liked to pick a place where no one is walking, so the two of them walked along the quiet path all the way, the more the road went, the fewer forks in the road, the road itself became smaller and smaller, and the more they went to the back, the shrubs on the path became more and more dense, and many places were about to cover the road.

The two walked one after the other, enjoying the scenery along the way, and talking with each other.

"Xiao Li, it looks like there are a lot of bushes in front of you, and it's a little difficult to walk, should we go another way?" Dong Chen's gaze looked forward over Bai Xiaoli's head, and at a glance, they were all shrubs that had spread to the road, densely packed together, and he couldn't see the road at a glance.

"Hmm......" Bai Xiaoli paused slightly, then pushed aside the plants on both sides and continued to walk forward slowly.

"Well, watch out for your hands, some of these plants are thorny and stinging." Seeing that Bai Xiaoli didn't seem to want to leave, Dong Chen had no choice but to smile helplessly and continue to walk forward.

He wanted to go to the front to open the way for Bai Xiaoli, but he didn't worry that Bai Xiaoli would follow him alone. After weighing the two phases, he still let Bai Xiaoli walk in front - after all, people are more at ease under their noses, and they can take care of it if something goes wrong.

The trail was so long, so long that neither of them could remember how many plants they had cleared and how long they had walked. I only knew that I was constantly pushing away the plants in front of me and walking forward......

Endless repetition.

Until, the plants in front of me gradually thinned out, and the road gradually opened up.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the space in front of the two suddenly opened up, and the oppression and crampedness they had felt in the dense jungle disappeared at once.

Bai Xiaoli couldn't help but take a deep breath, and continued to walk along the small stone road in front of him that had been cleared.

"Achen, it seems that there are people living here." Bai Xiaoli didn't look back, and naturally didn't notice it, because the change in her name brought surprise and joy to Dong Chen.

"Achen......" Dong Chen's lips squirmed up and down twice, chewing these two words repeatedly between his lips and teeth, the corners of his mouth were irrepressibly raised, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were smiles that could not be hidden.

It seems that the change of Jing Yuchen's title only took 2 days, and for Dong Chen, it was nearly half a month, but Bai Xiaoli was completely unaware of this.

Along this path, which was obviously cleared, the two walked all the way forward, and after a few turns, a temple with a red background and gold walls appeared in front of them.

The temple is not big, but it is not small, the main entrance enters, and at a glance you see a huge incense burner in a large open space in the middle, over a few wisps of sparse green smoke, and then the main hall. Next to it, the two side halls are facing each other, one on the left and one on the right, and the whole temple is silent, as if you can hear the sound of cigarette smoke rising.

"No one?" Bai Xiaoli's clear voice sounded, as if a stone had been thrown into the surface of a lake that was as flat as a mirror, causing ripples.

"Maybe it's out." Dong Chen looked around and said lightly.

"But, it's so quiet here, it's a little too quiet......"

But there was nothing but a deathly silence in response......

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly, Bai Xiaoli couldn't hold back his curiosity, raised his feet and walked forward, exploring the past one by one.

Different from the order of ordinary people, Bai Xiaoli did not walk to the main hall first, but walked towards the side hall on his right.

Carefully stepping over the high threshold in front of the hall, Bai Xiaoli raised his eyes and looked inward, and saw a tall Buddha statue sitting in front of him in the middle of the hall, and the electronic incense candle directly below was always on.

As soon as they entered the hall, the two of them felt that the world in front of them was much darker, and after Bai Xiaoli stood at the door and looked at the Buddha statue, he walked to the left and carefully admired the exquisite reliefs on the wall.

Each relief is a story, all living beings, the ups and downs of the bitter sea, and the thought of becoming a Buddha.

In an inconspicuous corner of the wall, a man was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a young girl in his arms, the girl's head was slightly deflected outward, her eyes were tightly closed, her face was serene, there seemed to be a tear hanging from the corner of her eyes, and her hands were hanging weakly on both sides, while the man was holding the woman's clothes with both hands, his head was raised, his mouth was wide open, and his expression was painful, as if he was crying.

"Man is born and dies alone in love, and goes and comes alone. Bittersweet and bittersweet, there is no substitute ......" Looking at the relief in front of him, Bai Xiaoli's lips opened lightly and murmured in a low voice.

"The sound is heard, and it has its own life and death. The void of all laws is an illusion. In fact, the flowers fall and bloom, the fate is born and the fate is extinguished, and in the dark, there is a fixed number, and it is impossible to ask for it. Dong Chen looked at Bai Xiaoli in front of him, and always felt that she was so close and so far away, obviously in front of him, but he couldn't catch it at all.

Dong Chen sees life very thoroughly, but everything is always said to be easy to do and sometimes difficult, he would never have thought that in the end, he was the one who fell into the deepest and most difficult to get out.

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into a dead silence, and between the two, a faint sense of resentment mixed with melancholy gradually dispersed, like a layer of mist, dense and unventilated, surrounding the two.

The atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Bai Xiaoli just stood quietly in place, as if looking at the relief, but his eyes were very scattered, there was no focus, his brain was empty, and the faces that were constantly intertwined in his mind finally melted into the darkness and turned into nothingness......

Dong Chen was standing behind Bai Xiaoli, his eyes locked tightly on the delicate person in front of him, his eyes were infinitely restrictive, and he seemed to be able to pinch out the water.

Even if I know it's a moth to the fire, I'm willing. Burn yourself out for you, turn into a glimmer of light in the night, as long as it can fall into your eyes, even if it is fleeting, I will not hesitate.

"Achen, why is it so good to me?" Bai Xiaoli turned his back to Dong Chen, his eyes were light, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

"Why? I've thought about this before, but I don't seem to know it myself. Probably, this is the so-called 'I don't know what to do, go deep'. Xiao Li, I think, I'm probably in love with you, then, you ......" Dong Chen pursed his lips a few times, and the remaining half of the sentence still couldn't be spoken, he was afraid, afraid that what Bai Xiaoli gave him was the result he didn't want to hear.

"I ......" Bai Xiaoli, who heard the meaning of the words, wanted to speak several times, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't know what to say, and he muttered for a long time before he said the word "I", and then he couldn't say it anymore.

"Let's go out and take a walk, this hall seems to be a little too depressing." Dong Chen chuckled, half-lowered his eyes to hide the loss under his eyes, and spoke lightly, still as warm as ever.
