I quickly got up and got dressed, and simply combed my hair, but Lin Jiangnan still came much faster than I expected.

A handsome little man's face, frozen puff. When I saw this face, the panic caused by the nightmare just now passed, it turned out that the face could not be eaten as food, but it could be used as medicine.

"Look at you like this, it's cold outside?"

"It's cold, it's windy." He said.

"Are you wearing autumn pants?"

"Wearing ......"

The weather that can make a 24-year-old man wear autumn pants shows that it is really cold. This is indeed a suitable day for eating hot pot.

Lin Jiangnan asked me why I didn't reply to the message just now, and I was sorry to say that I fell asleep.

"So early?"

"Sleepy!" I packed up my bag and asked him when I closed the door, "You came so fast, couldn't you be heading this way just now?" ”

"yes, yes." He nodded bluntly, "Didn't you sleep?" Why did you wake up again? ”

I laughed, "I don't wake up to call back and forth, what are you going to do?" Come up and knock on the door? ”

"Yes." He followed me to the elevator, the corridor of the old house was narrow and dim, his voice had a special texture in this environment, and he said, "Are you not in a good mood?" ”

"Nope." I answered him.

We went to Guijie to have a hot pot, and I ate this meal very slowly, very slowly, and I was afraid that it would end. I don't know when the nightmare that Cao Hui brought me will end, although I believe that it will pass one day, but at the moment I am really a little scared of being alone, especially at night.

I don't know if Lin Jiangnan can see it, he also accompanies me to eat very slowly.

Intellectually speaking, it seems that I shouldn't let Lin Jiangnan fill my difficult night, but when Xu Yijing is on a business trip and I don't dare to go home, only Lin Jiangnan knows the ins and outs of the whole thing. If I find another friend, I will inevitably have to be questioned, angry, and comforted, so I might as well go home and find my mother.

At this time, with Lin Jiangnan, I was relaxed.

I insisted on paying for this meal, Lin Jiangnan didn't refuse too much, I was very happy, and the guilt in my heart was slightly relieved, but it was only a little. I owe him a lot, not to say that a few meals can be converted.

It was late at night when I came out of the restaurant, and he drove me around the city of Beijing slowly, walking along Chang'an Avenue, passing by the moat, and looking at the dim Beihai White Pagoda in the night. The heating in the car was full, warm and dry, and I fell asleep while talking to him, and I slept very deeply.

When I woke up, the sky was already white, and the surroundings were barren, I looked around and found that I didn't know anything except Lin Jiangnan, and I couldn't help but be confused.

"Where is this?"

"On a hill in Mentougou." He pointed in a direction, "Down there is Tanzhe Temple." ”

"Why are you here?" I yawned and looked at him, "You haven't slept all night, have you?" ”

"Hmm. You fell asleep last night, I see that you sleep very soundly, I really can't bear to wake you up, but the parking will be cold, and it is not safe to sleep with the heater on the park, so I will drive aimlessly. He stretched his waist and arms slightly in his seat, "I felt that it was boring to see too much of the night view of the city, so I walked into the mountains." ”

"Oh, you're quite emotional." I gave him a thumbs up with sleepy eyes, "How is the night view in the mountains?" ”

"There's no night view at all." He looked out of the windshield and looked around, "Actually, I just saw the scenery around here." It was still dark when we got here. I don't know what road to point to in navigation, there is a section where there are no street lights, I can't see anything except the range of my own headlights, and I am not sleepy at all. ”

It was also exciting for me to listen to his description, especially when I thought that I was sleeping heartlessly in such a situation, and how relieved I had to be for him to sleep so deeply. I thought to myself, is this something to be happy for a grown male?

"Is it cold?" He asked me.

"Okay." I tightened the down jacket on my body, although the warm air was turned on in the car, but in the cold winter suburbs, I had just woken up, and the cold that emanated from the inside was difficult to be pressed by the hot air of the air conditioner. I reached for the warm air outlet, went to find the heat source, and asked him, "This mountain is also pointed to by the navigation?" ”

"No, it's too early and Tanzhe Temple hasn't opened yet, I see that there is a way here, so I opened it." He tugged at my arm and pointed ahead, "That's the east." ”

I may not have started my brain yet, or it may be cold and down again, I don't understand what he means, and said perfunctorily: "Oh, it's amazing, I can still distinguish between the southeast and the northwest." ”

"Look." He patted my arm again, his eyes looking ahead, "Sumi, look. ”

I followed his gaze, and as far as the eye could see, there was an orange morning light, and the sky was already surging with golden light.

"The sun is coming out." The two of us said in unison, he was stating, and I was emotional.

The last time I watched the sunrise was with Yao Feng, after the Spring Festival that year, we made an appointment in Huangshan, climbed the mountain side by side for several hours, hung up the heart-to-heart locks that belonged to the two of us, and then snuggled up to the cold Guangming top and waited for the sunrise. I still remember the way the glow burst out of the sea of clouds, like a miracle, beautiful and breathtaking. The camera was in my arms at the time, but I forgot to take a picture, but I still remember raising my head and kissing Yao Feng. Perhaps in my heart, I feel that our love is worthy of this miracle.

The sunrise on Mentougouye Mountain is far less than that of Guangmingding, not as breathtaking, but the sun is still the same sun. I remembered the saying, 'The people of today do not see the moon of the ancient times, but the moon used to be according to the ancients', and I feel that the sun is the same.

I can no longer find the sunrise that day, but the sun today has not been stingy in giving me light and warmth. The sun was still shining on me.

"It's the last day of 2015." Lin Jiangnan said to me.

I didn't speak, and Lin Jiangnan didn't say anything more. I didn't know what he was thinking, and he probably didn't know what I was thinking, but we both sat in the car, facing east, intently watching the rising sun, and under the morning light, my heart was extremely warm and calm.

The two of us drove down the mountain, found a small restaurant nearby and had a warm breakfast, and bought tickets to go in after the Tanzhe Temple opened. There were very few people in the temple, after all, it was a weekday in the dead of winter, and it was the morning of the day before the New Year.

The scenery of Beijing in winter is bare, the mountains are bare, the trees are also bare, and somewhere someone sweeps the floor, making the sound of bamboo branches and brooms rubbing the ground, boring and quiet. The dead leaves left on the ground are swaying, and if there is wind, take a few steps, and stay there when there is no wind. The peace brought to me by the morning sun continued in this silence, and the nightmare of last night seemed to be far away.

After we walked past the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I pointed to the two huge ginkgo trees and said, "Look at these two trees. ”

Lin Jiangnan looked up and let out a straightforward sigh: "It's so big! ”

"It's more than 1,000 years old. Do you know what these two trees are called? ”

"Ginkgo biloba. The ground is full of ginkgo biloba leaves. ”

"No, I'm not asking about his tree species. These two trees have names. I pointed to one of them and said, "This is called the Imperial Tree." Then he pointed to another tree and asked, "Then guess what this one is called?" ”

"The Queen Tree? The Queen Tree? Concubine tree? ”

"No, this is called the King Tree."

"Worthy of the king?" He looked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" These two trees are not married? ”

"Ginkgo trees are dioecious, and two trees of different sexes bloom and bear fruit together. I don't know which unreliable ancients planted these two trees into male trees, two men. 1,300 years old, light grows leaves, does not bloom and does not bear fruit. I paced under the tree and looked up at two large trees.

Lin Jiangnan also paced over, "Two thousand-year-old singles." ”

"Not necessarily a single. Although it doesn't bloom and doesn't bear fruit, it doesn't have to be loveless. I smiled and said, "You see, one is the Imperial Tree, and the other I think it should be called the Imperial Eunuch Tree, the Prince's Tree and the like, which are relatively innocent." Now it's called the king of matching, matching, it's hard to say how to understand it, it's okay to understand it as a foil, and it's okay to understand it as a spouse. I tend to say that this is the love of two male ginkgo trees, not seeking to blossom and bear fruit, but only to stay with each other, which is touching. ”

Lin Jiangnan still looked up at the trees, and after listening to me, he said thoughtfully: "But these two trees look straight." ”

I laughed and walked slowly around the Imperial Tree, "That's 1,300 years of hard brothers." You say, will they already be fine? Every night, I ran out to walk in the West Mountain, picked up other trees on this mountain, and talked about which mountain I saw beautiful trees again. ”

Lin Jiangnan shook his head, "No." ”

"Trees don't grow into spirits?"

"Whether it is an animal or a plant that has become a refinement, most of the objects to be found are people, because those who can cultivate to become refined are all at the highest level in the same category, and they need to find a higher level to continue cultivating. It's like going to junior high school after graduating from elementary school, and there is no reason to go to elementary school after graduating from junior high school. He looked serious, as if he was really telling me a truth, as if he was studying humanities and social sciences in that goblin universe, and he had already obtained his degree.

And I really think he has a point. So we took out some legends and stories to verify this truth, and found that it was universal. When I looked back at my child, I couldn't help but sigh that the brain hole of science and engineering is really not the same place as the brain hole of our art students.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the bell rang, interrupting our inexplicable conversation. The bell whispered calmly and slowly in the temple, and we looked back at the end of the stone steps. In the sun, this two-storey building looks glorious and majestic, standing tall and looking down on us.

"Worship the Buddha." Lin Jiangnan said.

"I'm not a Buddhist."

"You are one of all beings." He picked me up and walked up the steps.

I don't know if Lin Jiangnan believes in Buddhism or not, anyway, I see that he worships very seriously, so I also worshiped seriously, and donated incense money, praying that the new year will be smooth and smooth, and no more bad things will happen.

When I walked out, Lin Jiangnan asked me, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Isn't it going to work if you tell you?"

"Then I won't ask." He smiled, and suddenly stopped and looked back at Pilu Pavilion. I also stopped and looked back, but I didn't see anything special.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Do you hear that?"

"What?"

Lin Jiangnan's smile deepened, as if there was sunshine in his eyes, warm and warm. He leaned in slightly and said, "Didn't you hear me?" The Buddha said, 'Okay.' ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and then I smiled and pushed him, "I'm going to give you a lot of power." ”

When I went down the mountain, I asked Lin Jiangnan to sit in the passenger seat to sleep, I came to drive, he looked at the road for me at first, but later found that there was nothing to worry about, so he fell asleep peacefully.

There were no cars on the mountain road, and I drove slowly, as if I was moving with the winding of the mountain road. The winter sun travels through the mountain cols, illuminating the bare mountains again.

I hummed a melodious and smooth melody quietly, the lyrics I could only remember a few words, I forgot the title of the song, and I couldn't remember who sang it. It suddenly jumped into my mind, like a dusty drawer suddenly being opened, and someone took out this melody and handed it to me, saying, "This suits your mood right now, sing it." ”

So I sang in my heart.

When I got home, I woke up at dawn

The trail is also less winding

Don't feel like you're driving

It was as if it was carried by the morning light

You hum that song all the way

I beat gently and gently

Whether it's listening to what you say or what accompanies you

It's never tireless......

I hummed silently all the way, drove the car, and took Lin Jiangnan back to the noisy city and the bustling world.
