After the meal, Xiangzi came to the stable and looked at her beloved chrysanthemum green horse in a daze. In a trance, Juanzi stood quietly behind her.

Seeing Xiangzi's distraction, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Can't bear your BMW? ”

Xiangzi smiled and said: "For more than ten years, it has never left me, and I left it abruptly, and I was really reluctant to give up." As he spoke, his face showed a hidden pain.

Juanzi smiled indifferently and said, "If you are reluctant, you can bring it back to Dihuabei, besides, there must be a horse over there." ”

A sentence reminded the dreamer, and Shoko suddenly slapped his thigh with excitement and said, "That's right!" If you take the car and I'll ride back, I can just go to Aomine Mountain. ”

Juanzi pretended to be displeased and pouted and said, "Roar, you can ride a horse?" I still want to shake me, I think it's beautiful! ”

Xiangzi hurriedly said with a warm face: "Aren't you afraid of your hard work?" More than 300 miles, it's not a joke, if you don't get it, you have to spend the night in the wild, and there are wolves on the road, aren't you afraid? ”

Juanzi turned her head with disdain and said, "I've even been a bandit, and I'm afraid of a wolf, I haven't suffered anything in those years, isn't it just a long road, look at what I said squeamish." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he said with a relieved look: "If you don't have to work hard, then it's so decided." Pick up the picks first, and pick a good horse from the eldest brother along the way. ”

Shuzhen heard that Xiangzi and they planned to ride back to Dihua, but at first they nagged that it was too hard, and then let Juanzi ride a snowball. Seeing her anxious and sincere look, Xiangzi smiled at her warmly and said, "Don't argue about this, you can't do without snowballs, just like I can't do without chrysanthemums." The eldest brother has a horse, and he doesn't go to war, so he can ride it. ”

Shuzhen's eyes turned red, as if she was swallowing something, she twisted her head to the side, and said in a hard voice: "As soon as I mention that you are leaving, my heart is ......" and sobbed as she spoke.

Xiangzi was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know how to persuade for a while. Juanzi happened to come out of the house and saw Shuzhen looking miserable. Then he stepped forward with a smile, put his arm around Shuzhen's shoulders and said softly, "Look at you, why is the girl here again?" Didn't you say that when we cleaned up that head, we would take you over to live with us? Just a day's journey, it looks like you're parting from life and death. After the interval, we will come back to see you, and besides, there is Hu Zili. ”

Shuzhen raised her sleeves and wiped her face, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "You see I don't know what's going on, I know the truth, but I can't help but want to cry." ”

Juanzi gently rubbed Shuzhen's shoulder, sighed, and said sincerely: "After all, you have lived together for more than ten years, and you are naturally a little reluctant to separate suddenly."

As he spoke, he scratched Shuzhen's nose lightly, and said with a sly face: "Or, just leave him to you?" I don't have the patience you have to serve him. ”

Shuzhen twisted her shoulders and smiled and said, "What did the eldest sister say, I just felt empty in my heart for a while." It's okay, it'll be fine after a while. Besides, the tiger and the orchid are enough for me to keep busy. ”

Hearing that Xiangzi and they were going to ride back to Dihua, Zhao Xiaotian turned his mouth aside and said mockingly: "You can figure it out, it's not good to sit comfortably after putting down the car, and you're looking for that sin." It's not ten days and a half a month on the road, really! I don't know what I thought. ”

Seeing his disdainful and somewhat mocking expression, Xiangzi shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "The main thing is that I can't give up the chrysanthemum green, and besides, I also need to use horses over there." ”

Zhao Xiaotian still looked disdainful and muttered: "What kind of horse is rich, don't suffer that sin." ”

Xiangzi smiled heartily and said, "Even if I look at the scenery along the way, I still want to see the wolf baby I saved back then." ”

Zhao Xiaotian snorted with cold air and muttered, "I'm afraid I'll die of old age a long time ago." ”

Zhao Xiaotian didn't approve of Xiangzi and them riding a horse, but he still put his best jujube on the horse, washed it with oil, and prepared a new saddle for Juanzi to ride. He also prepared leather clothes and dry food, and all the articles for the road.

Xiangzi and the two of them ran on their horses for a while, and laughed for a while, and before they knew it, they had crossed Ganhezi and turned into an almost extinct ancient road.

The green hills are still there, and the green grass is evergreen. The stones of all colors on the side of the road still set off the desolation of the wilderness. The difference is that the same scenery is the same person, but at this time, Xiangzi's heart feels an inexplicable affection.

Shoko dismounted by a small river, and he looked at the big poplar tree by the river with an excited and complicated expression, and stared for a while. Self-deprecating to Juanzi, who was playing in the water, said: "I was surrounded by four wolves under this tree back then, and it can be said that I died nine times in my life." When the she-wolf I rescued was relieved, I suddenly felt that everything is so beautiful, the world is a big family, and there is love in return. ”

Looking at Xiangzi's dreamy expression, Juanzi smiled gently and said: "Animals are spiritual, and eggs were always thrown in the village that year, and later it was found that it was a big green snake that was making trouble." At that time, the brothers were about to die with shovels and hoes, but I just couldn't bear it. I persuaded everyone to let go. Oddly enough, no eggs have been lost since. ”

Xiangzi washed his face with the cool river water, looked up at the sun that was already red and soft on the treetops, and muttered, "It seems that I am going to spend the night here tonight, and there is no one to walk another day." ”

Juanzi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Okay, just get a taste of how you felt back then." ”

Xiangzi glanced at Juanzi with a side face and said sadly: "I'm not afraid of being eaten by wolves." ”

Juanzi pouted and smiled a little innocently and said, "You have a she-wolf friend, what am I afraid of." ”

Xiangzi smiled and said, "Don't say it, if it weren't for that she-wolf to save me in time, I'm afraid I would have become a pile of bones by now." Things in the world are so funny and impermanent. ”

Seeing Xiangzi's sighing and sighing look, Juanzi smiled gently and said: "Ten thousand laws are born, maybe you and that wolf had a good relationship in the previous life, and this life will be re-interpreted." In short, the law that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil will not change. ”

Xiangzi glanced at Juanzi warmly, reached out and tucked the leather jacket on Juanzi's shoulder, and said softly: "You have lived in the temple in the past few years, but you understand a lot of Buddhism. Personal cultivation is also very different from before. ”

Juanzi smiled lightly and said meaningfully: "That's, as the saying goes: does the environment change people?" Not to mention being smoked by the Dharma all day long. ”

As night falls, the green hills in the distance seem even more lofty. A few sparrows that had returned late hid in the depths of the poplar trees, whispering tentatively.

Juanzi was wrapped in a warm leather jacket, listening to the rustle of leaves and the occasional birdsong, but there was a sweet and cozy feeling.

Xiangzi hugged Juanzi closely, but the scene of that night lingered in her mind, and her dark blue phantom eyes still lingered like a dream.
