At the Temple of Mercy and Grace, it seems to be a very normal thing to roll up your sleeves and pick up a rag.

After closing the temple, Afu will wipe every floor tile under the feet of the Buddha and every sea lantern in front of Guanyin.

She remembered the unbearable humiliation of Shuyu when he did rough work in front of the concubines at the beginning of the year, and she would feel that she was childish and ridiculous.

People have their own work to do when they live, so what is the high and low?

Sometimes, in the dead of night, she turned her head to look at the distant, silent golden body of the Buddha.

The Buddha smiled and lowered his eyes, which was the same look as Jinghe Shitai.

Afu tilted her head, maybe this is the so-called "compassion"?

This afternoon, Daddy and Auntie ran over in a hurry to take her home. It took Afu to persuade them to let her live quietly in this temple for a few days.

"Ma'am, haven't slept yet?"

As soon as Afu turned her head, it was Jinghe Shitai, smiling slightly, wearing a blue cloth robe, and walking slowly.

"Mrs. Shi, my girlfriend's name is Afu, Fu's Fu, you can call me Afu~" Afu smiled.

Jinghe Shi was too submissive to respond, and motioned for Afu to sit down on the futon in front of the Buddha: "I see that you often kneel on the ground, which is not good for your knees, but this brick floor looks soft, but it is actually very cold." After that, the chanting will come to this futon. ”

Afu said lightly: "I think on the brick floor, do you seem more sincere?" ”

Jinghe smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "It's all the same, the Buddha wants you to treat yourself better." ”

Afu nodded, hugged her knees, and looked up at the Big Buddha.

"I see that Master Xiang and Mrs. Xiang came over today, but you came to find Afu and you go home?"

Afu Ran: "It's too much for the teacher to see and laugh." I didn't have time to report to my family, because my father and mother were in a hurry. ”

"Why don't you see Pei Shangshu?" In the dark, Jinghe Shitai's gaze was like a warm candle flame, not sharp, but discerning.

Afu didn't want to hide it from her, to be precise, she didn't want to hide it from all the people in Chang'an City: "We are reconciled." ”

Obviously having accepted this fact in her heart, Afu's eyes were still shining with tears.

Jing He straightened the hair in front of her forehead and sighed softly: "This is the lesson that the Buddha gave you." Has Afu ever thought about why he was separated from him? ”

Afu's gaze sailed to the endless darkness: "I thought about it. At first I thought it was because of one of my childhood friends, but now I realize that he wasn't the problem, he just made it come to light. ”

The door of the Buddhist hall was open, and the autumn wind blew out Afu Qinglingling's voice.

Outside the door, Shu Yu stood against the wall with his hands crossed, quietly listening to the words of the person next to him.

"Shuyu is a very self-focused person. It's not that he doesn't understand the complex emotions of people, his own mind is very delicate, but he doesn't want to push himself and others, and it is selfish to say something ugly. Whenever I had some inner need, he would put it down to trouble and nonsense. ”

"My problem is that I didn't dare to show my true self from the beginning, I always endured, hidden, and held. The only thing I was sure of was that he loved my skin, and I thought that as long as I was like this, he would be good to me, so I allowed the weakness, shallowness, and savagery of my character to grow. So much so that Shuyu didn't think I was worthy of respect from the bottom of his heart..... But Mrs. Shi," Afu's voice became slightly excited, "I wasn't shallow and weak from the beginning, I grew up reading books and reading the Bible when I was a child, and Sister Pei picked me because she also took a fancy to my good hand..."

Jinghe said gently: "There is still a long way to go in your life, don't criticize yourself for the things in the past, you are so young, and your mind is so thorough, it is rare..."

Ah Fu said gloomily: "But I have missed it with him." ”

Shu Yu's fingers moved lightly, with whom?

Jinghe didn't ask, but said: "If you don't forget, there will be an echo, and there is never anything really missed." If there is fate, thousands of reincarnations will not separate two people. ”

She was so old that she couldn't help but yawn. Afu hurriedly said: "Mrs. Shi has always had a regular schedule and rest, I'm afraid it's time to sleep, right?" Go back and rest, I'll clean up this last bit and go to sleep. ”

Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Jing didn't stop her, said a few words to her, and walked slowly.

Shu Yu waited for her figure to go away, lifted a breath, came to the door lightly, turned his head sideways and looked in slightly.

Afu was still kneeling on the futon, a small figure, looking up at the golden Buddha more than eight meters high.

She was fascinated, her long hair was untied, and she hung down on the back of her head, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

Shuyu admits that she is right.

He himself seems to know that all the high-sounding accusations and defenses are from the selfishness in his heart.

He knows how to be good to a person, nothing more than to know her wishes everywhere, to pave the way ahead of her, even if she walks on his back, as long as her steps are light and her feet are happy.

But he always couldn't convince himself, why should he be nice to someone?

In this life, he is called to treat each other with all his heart, but Ah Niang and the eldest brother, who really have the moonlight wind in their hearts, even if they are big sisters, he will keep a few points.

Before, he thought that in the face of the delicate and supple Afu, he would involuntarily be good to her, but obviously, he always fell into the circle of selfishness uncontrollably.

He was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to repay equally, and afraid that she would not be worthy of his heart-wrenching treatment.

If it is A-Niang or the eldest brother, they will definitely slap their hands and smile: they are all pure and kind people who do not ask for anything in return, where can there be so many twists and turns.

Contemplatingly, Shu Yu didn't realize that Ah Fu had finished his work and walked out, staring at him patrolling in front of the door like a lightning strike.

"Uh..."She was a little embarrassed, "Second Master, the temple door has been locked, who are you?" ”

Shu Yu didn't blink, and said nonsense: "I..... I came this afternoon, and before I could go out, I was locked inside. ”

Ah Fu pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll send the second master out." It's cold at night, and if you wander outside all night, you have to catch a cold. As he spoke, he held up the lantern and led the way.

The more peaceful and natural Afu was, the more Shu Yu was beating the drums in his heart.

As the temple gate gradually became visible, a strong sense of unwillingness burned in his heart: I hope that there is no one in the gatehouse, no one in the porter, no one in the porter, no one in the porter....

The wish made at the feet of the Buddha really worked, and the gatehouse was really empty.

Shu Yu watched Afu tiptoe up and look in from the low window, looking disappointed at the key on the table at a loss, and a smile hung on the corner of his lips.

Just the low wall of this temple gate, with both hands, even turning over five, seven or eight, otherwise how did he get in?

But he couldn't say that, and Shu Yu said regretfully: "Alas, the temple door is closed, and it seems that I am going to sleep in this open space all night." ”

Ah Fu said "Huh", compared the height of the low wall and asked, "Husband..... Second master, this wall is not high, otherwise... Try to flip it out? ”

Shuyu performed professionally and was "terrified": "How can this work! The holy land of Buddhism, how can it be made! ”

Afu nodded yes, and Shuyu took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Alas, besides, I received a cool breeze at Yumen Pass, and my waist... The legs are not very good. ”

Men can't say that the waist can't work, let's talk about the legs.

Ah Fu said with concern: "Didn't the second master look for someone from the Tai Hospital?" ”

Shuyu's words are true: "I haven't had time yet." ”

At night, the two lanterns at the entrance of the temple glow a warm red light, bathing the two from head to toe.

Afriley neatly lowered her long hair, looking like she was married for the first time, and Shuyu couldn't help but look a little foggy.

Cutting off the root of love, Afu is now deaf and clear-sighted, immediately avoided his gaze, pulled his hair to one shoulder, and turned his head to walk towards the temple: "Second master, come with me, I remember that next to my residence is an uninhabited empty room, which can be used for the second master and clothes to sleep for one night." ”

Shu Yu thanked him for his kindness on the surface, but he was depressed in his heart.

No one lived in it, but there was no empty room, and the room was now full of miscellaneous items, and there was only two feet left in between.

Ah Fu didn't want to squeeze into such a cramped space with Shuyu, so she walked out in a panic, tripped on the threshold without paying attention, and threw herself out.

As soon as Shu Yu turned his head, she was still kneeling on the ground, and he hurriedly went over to hold her arm: "It doesn't matter, right?" ”
