The delicate-looking little monk touched the back of his head, then sat down beside Lu Ze with a smile and told him the story of his relationship with the temple:

"It's a coincidence. I grew up in this small county, and my parents died shortly after I was born, so I was raised by my grandmother. And as my grandmother gets older and older, she can no longer rely on hard work to support me, and her life is becoming more and more difficult to sustain day by day..."

"Didn't go to school?"

"If you can't eat, how can you have the opportunity to go to school."

I saw that the little monk replied with a smirk, and continued:

"Later, I tried to learn to hunt in the mountains to make ends meet, and although I didn't always catch good prey all year round, I didn't have a problem with food and clothing."

"That's going to be hard, I'm afraid."

"Of course. Early one morning I went hunting in the mountains as usual, and finally caught a hare. But just as I was about to go home satisfied, on the way down the mountain, I happened to meet several young monks, who said that they were from Qingyun Temple and persuaded me to let the hare go. ”

"Oh? And then what? ”

"Then I naturally don't want to, after all, this is the result of my hard work all morning, how can I give up so easily because of a few words from a few monks?"

"That's fine."

But they didn't give up because of my refusal or ignorance, but stayed by my side and patiently persuaded me all the way. And there was not the slightest reproach in their tones, nor did they force me to do anything, but enlightened me step by step. As a result, unconsciously... I was persuaded by them, and I think I was not sure that I had been moved by their sincere and well-intentioned persuasion, but I felt at ease at that time, so I agreed to let the hare go. ”

"It's a tie-in..."

"Well, it's a relationship. After that, I often went to Qingyun Temple to play with these little monks, and gradually learned about their spiritual life in the temple, and over time I longed for such a life. ”

"That's why you're a monk?"

"Is it that easy? Even if I wanted to become a monk again, my grandmother was strongly opposed, because I was the only male in the family, and the responsibility of continuing the heirs naturally fell on my head. ”

"What should I do?"

"Later, the abbot of the temple and the owner of the nunnery came to my house one after another to talk to my grandmother, and if it didn't work once, it would be two or three times, and in my memory, they came five or six times, and each time they patiently communicated with my grandmother. They showed my grandmother that I could get a corresponding financial subsidy every month for practicing in the monastery, and that I would be provided with accommodation and food, and that these subsidies would be enough for my grandmother to enjoy her old age in peace, and that she would be able to save some money for me by the way. What's more, practicing does not mean that you need to become a monk for the rest of your life, but only to study Buddhism and cultivate your body and mind first, and if you want to return to the world in the future, you can decide for yourself. ”

"So grandma finally figured it out?"

"Yes, she thinks it's not a loss in this way, haha, so she agreed."

"It's not easy, so what do you like about life here now?"

"Hmmm! Very much. ”

"That's good."

After listening to the story of this little monk, Lu Ze only felt calm and stable in his heart, this is the story of the relationship between this little monk and Qingyun Temple. And from the perspective of the monk's current appearance, it is obvious that the practice in the temple has made him a cheerful and simple excellent young man, presumably his grandmother or his deceased parents will be proud of him, right?

And fate, something that cannot be seen or touched, is wonderful, it often inadvertently planted the seeds of fate, and guides us to a wonderful and unknown direction.

Lu Ze also thought of his experience during this time, whether it was the hand in hand with Su Yue, or the acquaintance with the master and aunt, or even the fact that he came to this temple unconsciously, I am afraid it was all due to fate. But why fate pushed itself in this direction, Lu Ze didn't know anything at that time.

And the deep meaning behind it is impossible to speculate.

The night soon came, and a powerful typhoon followed, and the torrential rain beat the eaves with almost all its might. I heard that Master suffers from gout, so all joints of his body will suffer from pain at the same time in rainy weather. But even so, she insisted on continuing to purify her soul for Lu Ze.

And Lu Ze was grateful, but also did his best to repay their kindness. The next day, he heard that the barn was in disrepair and was leaking, so he braved the wind and rain early in the morning to follow the little monks to repair the barn, and was very busy.

Three days later, the typhoon finally passed, and the warm sun shone into the mountains again. Everything seemed to be rejuvenated, the mountains were filled with fresh air after the storm, and the birds were chirping softly among the trees. Seeing that the soul purification ceremony had all ended, Lu Ze was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, because this also meant that he would soon be able to meet Su Yue in peace.

Su Yue was also very happy about this, and looked forward to meeting Lu Ze as soon as possible.

In the evening, after the master instructed Lu Ze a few more words, when he came back, Su Yue was already lying on the bed in a daze, but she still asked with anticipation:

"What did Master tell you? Will we be able to meet soon? ”

"Ahh He didn't say anything, but he gave me a few words. ”

There was no hint of excitement in Lu Ze's voice, perhaps because he was too tired in the past few days. However, Su Yue couldn't help but ask:

"Then you say... When are we going to meet? ”

"Hmm... Or... Waiting for these things to be put on hold and dealt with? It's good to have an explanation with your parents. ”

"How long will you have to wait?"

"I don't know..."

"Hey... Luze, don't you want to see me soon? ”

Hearing that Lu Ze did not make any arrangements for the two to meet, Su Yue felt a little unhappy in her heart:

"Is it true that after staying in the temple for a long time, I have become pure-hearted?"

"Why, I'd love to see you, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that my promise to you hasn't been fulfilled yet, and when I go to you in this case, I'm worried that your parents will be uneasy."

"Didn't we already agree on this? We'll meet first, and then we'll take care of those things slowly. ”

"Well... I know. ”

"Then after you go down the mountain tomorrow, to be on the safe side, you should go to the hospital for a stomach check-up, and then we will meet next week."

"Okay, listen to you."

After the agreement was completed, Su Yue was relieved.

Isn't it just for the two of them to meet smoothly after such a long period of hard work?

Now that there is no more obstacle, of course meeting is the most important thing, Su Yue thought so.

Early the next morning, Lu Ze went with the fortune teller aunt to say goodbye to the master. This time she went down the mountain to go home, and it is said that her aunt would accompany Lu Ze throughout the whole process, although according to herself, because her elderly father was also in the city, so she wanted to visit. But Lu Ze and Su Yue still agreed that the aunt must have decided to send him back out of concern for Lu Ze.

After saying goodbye to his master, Lu Ze walked down the mountain with his aunt. Even in the face of farewell, the master did not change his face at all, and he still had that cold expression. But Lu Ze knew in his heart that Master's zealous heart and compassion were all reflected in her actions.

Just as Lu Ze and his aunt were halfway up the mountain, a short shout suddenly came from behind, it was the master's voice:

"Wait!"
