The mountain path, the afternoon sunset, the willows are green, and the grass is fragrant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A man and a woman, a monk and a layman, limping, walking and stopping.

……

"Brother monk, I don't know what your name is? Other monks have a Dharma name, what is your Dharma name? ”

Got rid of the pursuit of the Qian family, Ziyun suddenly regained her usual liveliness and stupidity, she was like a bird that broke free from the cage, and she had forgotten the pain and troubles in the cage just after flying two steps.

"My Dharma name is 'Zhiqing', and it was given to me by the old abbot!" Zhiqing saw that she remembered to ask her name, and she was inevitably a little disappointed, but fortunately, it was much more decent than taking the initiative to introduce herself.

"'Purple blue'? That's a good name! My name is Ziyun and your name is Ziqing, it sounds like a brother and sister! Ziyun screamed happily, like a lark in the mountains, and had long forgotten the pain in his feet.

"What, it's not 'purple', it's 'wisdom'! It is the 'wisdom' of 'wisdom'! Zhiqing gestured with his hand as he spoke, although he had not studied in the school, but he had studied many Buddhist scriptures with his master, and it was naturally easy to read and hyphenate words.

But Ziyun is different, she is a girl's family, she has never learned to read and read since she was a child, where can she distinguish between "purple" and "wisdom"? She heard Zhiqing explain to her on the side, and she also knew that she had made a mistake, so in order not to reveal her knowledge, she just nodded, as if she understood.

"Oh, I see, I thought we were brother and sister, I haven't seen my parents since I was four years old, and I don't know if there are any brothers and sisters in the family." Ziyun suddenly mentioned her family, which made Zhiqing also very curious, and when she asked her in the forest just now, she seemed to be very reluctant to tell outsiders about her life experience.

Ziyun lowered her cheeks secretly, and her bright eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, as if hinting that there must be an untold story behind her, but she didn't want to mention that memory to others.

Zhiqing seemed to see her thoughts, and felt that she must have missed her parents and family, but Zhiqing was still puzzled in her heart, if she didn't have parents and brothers, then who married her to Master Qian in Liujia Village? She can't marry herself, can she? No, it's definitely not, she must have some relatives or friends, just like me, the monks in the monastery are my relatives, and the master is my father, he worked hard to raise me and teach me to read and write, otherwise I would have starved to death in the wilderness.

"That's... Miss Ziyun, you said you haven't seen your father and mother since you were four years old, what is the reason for this? Do you know who your parents are? Where do they live? ”

Zhiqing still couldn't help but want to ask, because after all, this girl wants to go to the temple with her, so she must ask her origin clearly, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the master when he arrived in the temple.

Ziyun looked at the monk in front of him, although he had only known him for a long time, he had already developed trust in him, but he didn't know his own life experience, let alone how to explain it to him, "This, I don't know, I'll tell you when I have time later." Brother Zhiqing, thank you so much, you helped me get rid of those who wanted to arrest me, and you are willing to take me back to the temple, and when I find my father and mother in the future, I will definitely repay you! ”

"Hehe... These are nothing, we monks and others are within our responsibility, and we don't want others to repay them. You said you were looking for your father, so do you know where your father is? ”

"Hmm... Of course I know, my father and mother are in Luoyang, I got lost with my mother when I was four years old, and I was taken to Yangzhou by a trafficker, and later the trafficker sold me to... Sold to someone else. Ziyun subconsciously paused when she said this, she didn't know whether she should tell a young monk who had just met her life experience.

"Luoyang? Where is Luoyang, not far from Yangzhou? ”

"Luoyang is in... Luoyang... I don't know where it is, I heard people say that as long as I walk along the canal, I can get there, and when I save enough money in the future, I must take a boat to Luoyang to find my father! ”

Ziyun has always been an optimistic girl, even if her fate is so bumpy, even if she hasn't saved enough money, she doesn't even know where Luoyang is, but she still believes that she is a child with a father and a mother, and one day she can complete the task of reuniting with her father and mother with her own efforts.

In comparison, as a child who doesn't know who his father is, Zhiqing is not so lucky.

"Brother Zhiqing, I see that you are not a few years older than me, why do you want to be a monk? Don't you marry a daughter-in-law? ”

"Huh? Marry a daughter-in-law? Amitabha, why are you marrying a daughter-in-law, I don't marry, my master didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and I won't marry either! Zhiqing replied categorically.

"So how many years have you been a monk? Is it good to be a monk, can't you eat meat? ”

"This... It's okay, I've been a monk for sixteen years, and I've never eaten meat, and anyone who eats meat or not can survive, so why eat meat! ”

"I've been in office for sixteen years! Don't you have hair on your head when you're born? That's pathetic! ”

"What's... Let's talk about something else! Don't keep talking about whether it grows hair. By the way, haven't you been hiding in that woods all along? You must be hungry, right? I still have food in my baggage! Zhiqing listened to him always ask why he was a monk, how did he know why, anyway, he has been a monk since he can remember, and the people around him are monks.

"I'm really hungry when you say that, I was picked up by someone from the Qian Mansion in a sedan chair early in the morning, and I haven't eaten anything!"

"That's right, I have fried cakes and snacks I bought from Shifang Town in this baggage, which were originally brought to my junior brothers, if you want to be hungry, I'll give them to you to eat first!" Zhiqing felt that she would no longer talk nonsense, ask this and that, so she took off the burden on her body and found a clean stone on the side of the road to sit down.

Ziyun had already seen his bulging baggage, which was originally a piece of blue coarse cloth, and two hemp ropes were tied to the corners, and Zhiqing had always carried this burden on his back and never left his body, as if there was some treasure in it.

"Your baggage looks bulging, you have bought so many delicious foods!" When Ziyun saw that this burden was indeed not small, he dared to love that this monk had gone down the mountain to buy goods, and the monk in this mountain was really greedy.

"It's not all food, it's some scriptures and my clothes!" Zhiqing untied the burden as he spoke, and sure enough, Ziyun was disappointed.

There is a paper bag at the top of this baggage, which looks boxy, it should be the bag of dim sum that Zhiqing said, under the paper bag is a torn monk's robe with patches, and there are several tattered and old scriptures wrapped in the clothes, and there is a hanging copper coin next to the scriptures, and the hanging money is not a full string, it should have been spent by him to buy snacks.

"Come, this paper bag is a snack, if you want to eat hungry, we have to hurry."

"Ah, that's it, I won't eat it, I'll leave it to your juniors and disciples to eat!" Ziyun saw that there was not much dim sum, and the fried cake was only about ten yuan, it seems that these monks are not gluttonous ghosts, if they eat this dim sum, then Zhiqing's junior disciples will definitely not have enough points, and if someone can't share it, how can he complain about him?

"It's okay, they're all my good brothers, they won't blame me, besides, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be hungry, let's eat some first!" As he spoke, he handed him the bag of fried cakes.

Ziyun looked at the fried cakes in front of her, golden and crispy, and a few jujubes embedded in the surface of the fried cakes, this kind of fried cakes she had eaten in Jiangdu County, sweet and crispy when she entered, and soft and sticky teeth when biting, it was her favorite snack.

"Brother Zhiqing, you are really a good person, but... I can't eat these snacks, you bought them for your junior disciples, they must like it when they see it, if I eat it, won't I disappoint them, you better wrap it up, I'm not very hungry! ”

"Hehe, it's okay, they're all little slanderers, they haven't seen anything delicious, I'll buy them some next time, you can eat first!"

Although Ziyun was hungry, he didn't want to affect the relationship between their brothers because of himself, and besides, he had already caused trouble to others, and wouldn't it be too polite to eat the snacks that others bought.

"These snacks are not my favorite to eat, I don't like to eat these, you better leave them to your junior disciples, didn't you say that Poria Mountain is not far from here, let's continue to hurry, when we get to the temple, I will follow you to eat fast!"

When Zhiqing heard that she didn't like to eat these snacks, she had no choice but to wrap the snacks and put them away in the baggage, showing a little loss on her face.

Ziyun was afraid that he would be unhappy because he rejected his good intentions, so he had to say something else to change the topic, fortunately Zhiqing was only a half-old child, where to take these things to heart, the two of them still talked to me, talked and laughed, and walked towards Poria Mountain not far away in the golden sunset.
