Chapter 66: Joy
Not far from the courtyard, a small door is opened on the temple wall, which is convenient for the monks in the temple to come and go to this small courtyard on weekdays.
Jinyi came to Biyun Temple for the first time, but it was a little disrespectful to enter through the back door. The two walked back to the front on the mountain road, and Qiao Wei and Qian Mo only followed from a distance. Mingxin, who came with Sima Yulou, glanced at Qiao Wei, and walked away a little fearfully, as if she would come to pull her ears again. Qiao Wei chuckled and ignored him with a blank look.
This section of the mountain forest is full of plum trees, and the plum fragrance is far away. There was an occasional sound of birds and insects chirping in the forest, and it was very quiet, and the dead leaves on the soles of the feet were trampled on to the point of rattling. Sima Yulou laughed softly beside her, "Do we have to be so tense every time we meet?" ”
Jin Yi remembered the situation of fighting him in the boat that night, and she didn't feel a little funny. It seems that he has always been wary of him when he meets these few times, and he is inexplicably stunned.
Although I didn't see him many times in Meiju in the past, I didn't guard against him like this, so I smiled indifferently, "I didn't know your identity before, but I felt that the children of the rivers and lakes were already above board." Now that you are the prince of the world, I am also such a young lady, it is inevitable to avoid some suspicions. ”
"Therefore, when people are bound by this appearance, they will inevitably become not themselves." Sima Yulou sighed lightly, "When I was outside the Saiwai, I often walked in the open desert, and I was in a free and unrestrained world, and my mood was extraordinarily open. So I rarely stay in Jianye, because the world here is too cold and warm. ”
Jin Yi's expression showed yearning, and she looked up at him.
There was a hint of warmth in Sima Yulou's eyes, and he looked back quietly, "I understand what you want to know,...... But now you know that it's useless. …… There are still some details that I am still investigating, and after the New Year, I will be away for a while, and when I return, I will tell you everything I know. He was sincere, but his tone was very soft, "Now you don't want to ask, okay?" ”
Jinyi's long and thick eyelashes drooped, and she looked a little lost, as if she was helpless and worried. His broad and strong shoulders were close at hand, as if the surrounding mountain wind was shielded from her, guarding and embracing her.
She looked up and smiled gently at him, her purple eyes contained soft warmth, and she didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Sima Yulou's handsome face was full of tenderness, and he really wanted to caress her tender white and silky cheeks, but he caught a glimpse of the three people following behind him, so he had to put down his raised hand again.
He was in a good mood, and saw a green round plum hanging on the top of the high plum tree, he jumped up, and his feet gently borrowed on the branches, and took advantage of the light arc of the branches to climb high again, lightly stretched the ape arm, and copied the green plum in his hand.
He landed among the branches, looked down at Jinyi who was looking up, and threw the green plum in his hand to her, "Then." ”
Jin Yi raised his hand to pick it up, but he pulled the wound on his left shoulder, frowning slightly in pain, but he still took the plum firmly in his hand.
Sima Yulou hurriedly descended from the tree and held her arm with one hand, "Your injury still hurts?" His eyes were full of pity.
Jin Yi was a little embarrassed, the temperature of his palm, although it was separated by layers of clothes, she could still feel the slight heat, and she couldn't help but feel the pink haze on her face.
Sima Yulou gently stroked his hand on her shoulder, he didn't dare to use any strength, his fingers probed the bones of his shoulders slightly, the bone shape was normal, but it didn't seem to be swollen, his face was full of apologies, and he couldn't speak.
Jin Yi retreated slightly, although her left shoulder left his fingers, there seemed to be residual warmth, she pretended to be relaxed and continued to walk forward, "It's okay, it hurts very lightly." ”
Jin Yi and he walked quietly for a while, and neither of them spoke. The mountains are silent, and the fragrance of plum fragrance lingers on the tip of his nose, so he walks wordlessly in the winding path, and his heart is quiet and serene. She played with the green plum in her hand and sighed with some satisfaction.
It was rare for Sima Yulou to see her so satisfied and joyful, and he also felt happy in his heart.
"Do you often come to Biyun Temple?" Jin Yi asked him.
"Every year when I go back to Beijing, I always come a few times, play a few games of chess with my uncle, and go to the temple to ask for some tea." Speaking of the obscure monk, he had a slight grin on his face, "He is a very interesting monk, if you meet him later, you will definitely find it funny." ”
It was difficult for Jin Yi to connect the word "fun" with the word "monk", and looked at him with some confusion.
Entering the main gate, there are podocarpus trees planted on both sides, and the middle corridor leads to the front Buddha hall.
In the hall, the golden body of Shakyamuni sat upright, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, half-closed eyes lowered, and looked at Jinyi with kindness and compassion.
Qian Mo handed over the lit three-pillar green incense, Jin Yi knelt on the futon in the middle, holding the incense lightly, and silently prayed in his heart.
Sima Yulou stood behind her with his hands in his hands, just looking at it quietly.
The two came out of the hall, and Sima Yulou took her all the way to watch it, and walked into a garden full of tea trees behind the temple. There is a koi pond in the park, many auspicious carp dressed in red brocade swim around in the water, see a figure coming, have rushed up, as if they are used to being fed, the fish body is round and fat, and the appearance of huddled together is a little scary.
A corner of the monk's robe was exposed next to a rockery by the pool, and a deep and hoarse voice came: "...... You're about to eat this tea, and I'll let you go. ”
Sima Yulou took Jinyi, bypassed the rockery, and saw a fat monk sitting cross-legged on a big blue stone, wearing a gray monk's robe, holding something in his hand, and muttering to an old turtle in front of him.
"Foolish, what are you doing?" Sima Yulou called him with a smile.
Obscurity looked up, revealing a strange-looking face. The eyes are big and small, the big eyes are round and transparent, and the small eyes are delicate and slightly charming, but these two beautiful eyes grow on a person's face, but they look weird and permeable, the nostrils are facing the sky, the lower lip is thick, covering most of the upper lip, and the chin is raised high.
Jin Yi was really startled when she saw such a look, and glanced at Sima Yulou, who was smiling easily, "This is what you call fun......
When the foolish monk saw him, he smiled heartily and beckoned to him, "Come and see my tea turtle." ”
Sima Yulou stepped forward, Jin Yi stayed in place and did not move, this is the famous tea monk Master Xuanyu, but he didn't expect it to look so unbelievable.
Sima Yulou looked at what he was holding in his hand, it was the Cuiding Cloud Tea he had just given him, this tea was extremely precious, and the tribute to the court every year was only a dozen taels. Before returning to Beijing, he deliberately made a detour to Meishan and found Dayizhuang, which was specially designed to collect famous tea for the imperial court, and asked for three cans, but he was used by this idiot monk to feed the turtle.
The green-shelled old turtle in front of Obscure Fool twisted his head around, avoiding the tea pieces that kept poking in his hand, looking unbearable.
Obscure looked at Sima Yulou with a sad face, "You told me last year that the people of Taetea Village use tea to raise fish, and I have been feeding it tea leaves, and I want to raise it into a tea turtle as well." But it doesn't seem to like the fragrance of tea, and would rather be hungry for more than ten days than take a bite. ”
Jin Yi listened to his whimsical idea and shook his head speechlessly.
She has also heard of raising fish with tea, which is to mix the tea juice into the fish pond water, and gradually replace the pond water with tea, and mix it with tea in the fish food, and over time, the fishy smell of the raised fish is reduced, and the fish meat after cooking has the fragrance of tea, which is sweet and sweet.
