Everyone is happy to celebrate the New Year, only Ansu is lonely and sad.

This year is the beginning of spring after the year, and it has been drizzling since the beginning of spring. Good rain! The rain gave Ansu the best reason not to go out.

Lying in front of the window, looking up at the drizzle falling in the sky, An Su smiled bitterly, could it be that the heavens also felt the anguish in her heart, and used this rainy weather to set off her sorrow?

Ansu came home crying and laughing that day, and grandma could see how old and dizzy she was. The two children must have had a conflict. But she didn't understand, how could a person as transparent as Jingming have a conflict with An Su? In the world of young people, her old woman really doesn't understand it anymore. After a while, the two children will be reconciled.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xiang Hui came to An Su's house again. Although the rain stopped, Ansu's mood was not clear. Grandma Jianyì The two of them go out for a walk, don't stay at home all day.

Although An Su was unwilling, seeing Xiang Hui looking at her expectantly, it was not a problem for people to sit in the house stupidly all the time. So, I put on a coat and went out with him.

Grandma chased after her and handed them an umbrella. An Su was troublesome and unwilling to take it. Xiang Hui took it and said with a smile, "Be prepared." ”

The two walked along the village road and met their neighbors to greet them, and Xiang Hui responded with a smile. An Su couldn't help but wonder, how could this still be like Xiang Hui on weekdays.

Xiang Hui said: "The people in your village are very enthusiastic. ”

An Su remembered that when his father and grandfather passed away, those people avoided their family, and couldn't help but sneer: "That's because you haven't seen their indifference." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Hui was silent, thinking that the ancestors and grandchildren were not doing well in this village. At that moment, he wished that he could grow up right away, grow up enough to take her out of here.

The two came to the small river at the entrance of the village. Although the surface of this river is only twenty or thirty meters, it is not wide, but the water is turbulent, and usually people in the village prohibit children from coming to the river, but she and Jingming have secretly come countless times. Of course, they didn't go into the water to play, they just sat on the shore and chatted.

Thinking of someone, no matter where you are, as long as you see the pictures related to the past, you will inevitably feel sad.

Ansu sat by the river, looking at the river in a daze.

Xiang Hui boredly picked up the small stones on the side, threw them into the river one by one, and counted them.

"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred."

When Xiang Hui threw the hundredth stone into the river, he stood up and tugged at Ansu's sleeve like a child, "Let's go for a walk on the side, it's boring to sit here all the time." ”

An Su smiled bitterly, these two people are really different. Jingming is happy and quiet, and Xiang Hui is happy. She and Jingming often sit together for a few hours, and the two of them can keep silent, and he has never said that he is bored. But now, the person who feels bored is willing to accompany her, and the person who has never been bored is not willing to accompany her anymore.

An Su sighed faintly, got up and walked with Xiang Hui to the river beach.

The river beach is full of pebbles, Xiang Hui smashed those stones with an umbrella from time to time, and bent down to turn it, looking very interested. Flip to the favorite and play with it in your hand, but you can play and throw it into the river casually. And so on and on, and never get tired of it.

Ansu's silence made Xiang Hui feel that she was visibly unhappy, and in comparison, he would rather she fight with him as usual. He didn't like this kind of Ansu, and he didn't like the two of them getting along like this, so he began to have nothing to say: "Are there fish in this river?" ”

Ansu nodded, "Yes." The creek we just passed into this river. In the past, my grandfather's ducks were driven to the creek, and the ducks would forage for food in the creek on their own. ”

Xiang Hui pretended to be very interested and asked, "Will the duck swim down the creek into this river?" ”

"No, it won't. When it gets dark, the ducks will go home on their own. Never lost. ”

Xiang Hui suddenly laughed, thinking that it seemed to be a very interesting thing. Laughing and laughing, suddenly his feet slipped, and with an "ouch" sound, he sat on the river beach.

Ansu watched the handle of the umbrella he held in his hand bend, which showed the great power, and there were stones everywhere underneath, and this fall was probably enough to choke.

Ansu reached out to help him, "Is it that funny?" ”

Xiang Hui grinned in pain, and it took a while to stand up with An Su's hand, rubbing his ass and saying, "I think it's funny when I think of you driving a flock of rickety ducks home." ”

"That's how rare and strange people are in your city." Ansu said, letting go of his arm.

Xiang Hui grabbed her hand, and he frowned, "Why is it so cold?" As he spoke, he took off his coat and put it on Ansu.

"No!" Ansu said as he ripped off his coat.

Xiang Hui couldn't help but hold it down, with a tone that could not be refused: "Clothed!" ”

An Su looked down at the clothes draped on his body, and then looked at Xiang Hui, who was so cold that he shrank his head, and couldn't say that he wasn't moved.

"Xiang Hui!"

"Hmmm! Is it still cold? As he spoke, he took An Su's hand and put it to his mouth and breathed, and kept rubbing it.

Rubbing and rubbing, Xiang Hui looked at An Su's eyes becoming softer and softer.

Not far away, there was a low chanting sound.

Ansu knew that it was the monks of Myohoji Temple who came to the river to release the animals.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and it is so familiar. An Su muttered along, "All the bad karma created in the past was caused by beginningless greed and hatred. Born from the body, speech, and mind, all sins and obstacles are repented......"

Xiang Hui listened to it on the side, and he asked An Su: "What are you reading?" ”

"Confession."

An Su looked at the monks who had been released, and his eyes began to search for the familiar figure involuntarily, and asked silently in his heart, "Is he here?" ”

Her feet began to walk uncontrollably that way. Even if it's just a glance, a glance.

Xiang Hui grabbed her, "Where are you going?" ”

An Su said without looking back: "I'm going to see the senior brothers release the life." ”

Xiang Hui had no choice but to follow behind, muttering in his heart what was so good about the release.

The chanting grew louder and louder, and Ansu watched as the monks poured buckets of fish into the river, walking faster and faster, and their steps became more and more messy. Seeing that she was about to arrive, her feet slipped, and with Xiang Hui's "be careful", she fell heavily on the river beach, and the clothes she was wearing also fell to the side.

I don't know if it was the sharp pain in the palm of my hand, or the frustration, Ansu lay on the river beach and cried.

The monks who were being released looked back and saw that it was An Sudu who showed concern.

Xiang Hui hurriedly ran over, squatted down anxiously to help her up, and complained distressedly: "Why are you so careless?" What do you do when you go so fast? ”

Helping Ansu up, Xiang Hui picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and put them on her again. Only then did he realize that An Su's hands were trembling, so he grabbed it and spread it out. I was startled when I saw that both palms were scratched and bleeding. "Look at you, your hands are hurt like this." Xiang Hui looked at her hands angrily, not seeing her eyes staring at her in a daze.

He's coming, he's really coming.

Jingming in the crowd also saw An Su, and his expression was still faint. But no one noticed that his body was trembling slightly.

A senior brother walked over briskly and asked An Su with concern if his injuries were serious.

Ansu cried and didn't speak, and kept shaking her head.

Seeing An Su crying so sadly, Xiang Hui thought that her wound was painful. Help her tighten her coat and say softly, "Let's go back to the medicine quickly." As he spoke, he gently led her away.

The release continued, and Jingming looked back at the figures of the two leaving, completely forgetting the scriptures to be recited.

When she returned home, the grandmother saw her granddaughter's hand hurt like this, and she nagged while looking for iodine tincture and cotton wool.

Xiang Hui took the medicine and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, let me come." ”

He looked at An Su and saw that she was still in tears, and said distressedly: "It will hurt a little, I'll try to be as light as possible, you can bear with it." ”

An Su never said a word, and let Xiang Hui give her medicine. Xiang Hui gently blew on the medicine as she gently applied the medicine, hoping to alleviate her pain. At this moment, Ansu can no longer feel the pain in her palm, and the pain in her heart has far exceeded this. In the past, when she bumped and touched it slightly, Jingming would be very anxious. But this time, looking at her bloody hands, he actually just looked at it lightly. It seems that he is really free from greed, and even his heart has hardened. It turns out that the pain on the ** does not alleviate the pain in the heart.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the school has already opened.

The gauze on Ansu's hands has been removed. Looking at the scabbed wound, the wound in her heart cracked bigger and bigger. I remember he once said that sweeping the floor is also sweeping the heart. Did he sweep her out of his heart like dust? So what? Isn't it? In his opinion, she has become an obstacle to his cultivation, so he will stay away.

On the day I went back to school, my grandmother went up in the morning, saying that there were many people who came to pay their respects and relieve their misfortunes, and she wanted to go to the room to help.

Ansu packed all her things and waited at home. She refused to let Xiang Hui pick her up, she was holding on to a glimmer of hope to see if Jingming would come to her and go back to school with her. But she didn't wait until noon from morning to noon, but waited for her grandmother who had been in the mountains in the morning.

It was already afternoon, and the grandmother entered the house with a bamboo basket and found that her granddaughter was still at home. "Didn't you say you'd go back to school this morning? Why haven't you gone yet? ”

"I'll go later."

Grandma took a bag of things out of the basket and found a bowl to fill it. She asked Ansu, "Have you eaten then?" If not, I came over to eat, and I came back from the temple with eight treasure rice. ”

An Su had no appetite, grabbed a few mouthfuls of eight-treasure rice, picked up his things and prepared to go out.

Grandma remembered something and told Sù Ansu: "I saw Jingming in the temple today, and he didn't go to school." I heard Master Jingtang say that Jingming seems to want to officially shave as a monk. ”

The four words "shaving and becoming a monk" are like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting Ansu's three souls and seven souls and losing three souls, leaving only seven souls.
