This deep mansion compound was left by grandparents and grandparents.

The east and west side is the jungle of lofty mountains, there are ancient trees towering thunder sound temple in the north, the lotus lake with beautiful scenery in the south, the green tea forest in the middle of the mountainside is lush, it is located between the green mountains and green waters, and the nearby pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, towers, workshops and other buildings complement each other, constituting the natural natural taste and landscape aura of "small bridges, flowing water, people's houses".

The dean of the quadrangle is about 50 meters, the width is about 20 meters, and the total area of the open space reaches as much as 900 square meters, which is larger than a standard basketball court, and the left and right sides are brick and wood structure wings.

Then go inside, through the living room, the terrain rises slightly, it is a deep house brick and wood structure building, a large patio courtyard in the middle, give full play to the ventilation, light transmission, drainage role.

It can be seen that the grandfather's family was prosperous back then.

Nowadays, most of the rooms are empty, a few rooms are stacked with miscellaneous warehouses, only three rooms have some old furniture, that is, the bedroom of Grandpa and Ah Lai, and one room is specially prepared for visitors to stay.

Ah Lai walked into the courtyard and saw the majestic osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard at a glance.

This thousand-year-old osmanthus tree, Ah Lai has never seen it bloom, call it "iron tree", if it wasn't for the grandfather's timely dissuasion, he was so angry that he almost cut it down several times.

The age of this ancient osmanthus tree, according to the grandfather, has a history of more than 1,200 years, two people also measured with a tape measure last year, the tree is 18 meters high, DBH 4.8 meters, crown width 25 meters.

Judging from the exposed part of the ground, it is composed of seven branches tightly entangled around a main trunk, tightly seamed, forming a trunk more than 3 meters high, and quickly divided into many branches, the big one is as big as the basin mouth, and the small one is as thick as the bowl mouth.

According to the half-immortal who set up a fortune teller near the Leisheng Temple, he once came here and said that there are seven little girls in the future who are determined to follow Ah Lai's life.

Ah Laiquan joked and laughed it, but when he was a child, in order to avoid being disturbed by others, he liked to often hide in the tree to sleep, strange is a small problem such as a cold and cough, or physical fatigue and discomfort, sleep on the tree, wake up and get better, it feels very weird.

Grandpa explained that this tree has an aura and is handed down by the ancestors of the Lei family.

Fangfang and Alai played under this osmanthus tree when she was a child, and did homework together, and teased at this moment: "This is really an iron tree, I have been gone for so many years, and it has not bloomed yet, I have often dreamed for several years, and I heard the sound of its flowers blooming in my dreams, maybe I will come to ...... this time."

Ah Lai didn't say anything, and said in his heart: "Crow's mouth, you really think of yourself as a god." ”

Because of the death of Master Kong, Ah Lai and Grandpa Lei were in a heavy mood, if there was no such thing, Fang Fang would definitely hold Ah Lai's hand, and she was so happy that she was very happy, and now she saw that the two of them were silent, and they didn't dare to squeak anymore.

The three of them each thought about their own thoughts, and none of them wanted to say it.

For dinner, Ah Lai was not willing to eat, so he simply ate two bites, and then returned to the room alone, and a scene repeatedly appeared in his mind, Dean Li took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.

Hurriedly opened the duffel bag, put the box of cigarettes picked up from the mass grave, put it in a large bottle, closed it tightly, used the syringe brought from the hospital, inserted the plastic cap, vacuumed the inside, and then closed it with a candle, keeping this only evidence that could be used in the future.

Lying on the bed, I remembered the days with Elder Kong, bit by bit, like a movie, scene after scene switching, every time I went to the temple, Elder Kongkong prepared the freshest fruits, taught him to make exquisite vegetarian dishes, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and cabbage, learn to cook fasting, and cultivate hands-on ability from an early age.

When Ah Lai encountered a problem that he did not understand, the elder always took the trouble to explain, and the elder asked about the results of his studies.

Ah Lai often showed the good results of the school to the elders, and every time he saw the elders smiling happily, Ah Lai felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

During the day, I was tired of playing with the little monks, and I often came back and fell asleep on the wooden bed in the empty elder's meditation room, and when I woke up, I always found that I was covered with a blanket.

In the evening, the elders patiently taught themselves to meditate...... It's all connected.

In the lonely and lonely night, my mind was full of the figure of the empty elder, kind and kind-eyed, amiable, and the longing spread in my heart, and the elder had to leave forever.

Ah Lai thought, thought, tears flowed down his face and cried, crying so happily, the silent courtyard, the whole night was covered by Ah Lai's crying.

Alai cried for the first time since he was a child.

The crying alarmed the grandfather, alarmed Fangfang, who was sleeping next door, the two of them put on their clothes and came to Alai's bed, and kept persuading, Alai seemed to forget their existence, forgot the existence of this world, and cried incessantly.

Fangfang couldn't stop persuading Ah Lai, and when Grandpa Lei went to get the washing water, he roared sharply: "A monk is dead, and you are not related to you, is it worth your crying like a mourner?"

Ah Lai stopped crying and looked at Fangfang in front of him without saying a word, like looking at a stranger.

Seeing that Ah Lai was speechless, Fang Fang continued to shout: "I see that you have nothing to do in this life!"

Grandpa washed his face, and heard Fangfang shouting at Ah Lai, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Good boy, don't blame Ah Lai, he is an orphan, and his heart is bitter enough, and Li Kong, like me, is also his father." ”

Fang Fang said angrily: "I am also half an orphan, and my father still doesn't know who it is!

Seeing the two arguing, Ah Lai silently lowered his head, stopped crying, and continued to think about his smoky past.

Fang Fang and Grandpa Lei saw Ah Lai stop crying, comforted them a few words, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Early the next morning.

Seeing that Ah Lai didn't get up, Grandpa gently walked to Ah Lai's bedside, looking at the tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, and the side of the pillow was wet, knowing that Ah Lai had been sad all night, Grandpa had a heart-wrenching pain, and he didn't dare to disturb and let him sleep a little longer.

Fangfang got up early, and noisily asked Ah Lai to take her to the mountains and rivers, strolling, strolling, grandpa patiently persuaded Ah Lai to sleep quietly for a while, and he also had to go to Shuguang Primary School to take care of official business, and by the way, take Fangfang to see and play.

"Knock knock ......" At this time, there was a sound of knocking the door outside the courtyard door, and Grandpa Lei opened the door to see that it was Yayoi and Mile of Leiyin Temple.

The two of them clasped their hands together and said, "Amitofu"

Grandpa Lei hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The two of them replied at the same time, "Is Ah Lai at home?"

Grandpa Lei replied sadly: "Ah Lai thought about Elder Kong last night, cried all night, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night. ”

Yayoi and Miraku, when they heard that their eyes were wet, they looked at each other, and couldn't bear to say: "I have been ordered by the dust master, please come to Leiyin Temple no matter what, the host wants to see him, there is something important to discuss, and he is waiting in the temple." ”

Grandpa wakes up Ah Lai and puts on his clothes.

What did Ah Lai ask?

The two men just said, "Go and you'll know." He bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing that the two of them refused to tell the truth in front of them, Fang Fang blurted out and asked, "Is it because your temple has been noisy recently, what treasure has been stolen?" Ah Lai is not a real monk in your temple, what are you asking him to do?"

Ah Lai glared at her, and said in his heart: "Crow's mouth, I really want to tear you apart." "Hurry up and change your clothes and get up.

Yayoi, Miraku, led Alai up the mountain quickly.
