Mrs. Jiang believes in Buddhism and goes to Baptist Temple every five years to pray for blessings and fast for a month.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

On this trip, the old lady traveled with the ladies of the big house in Jiangfu, including the little lady of Jiangfu, sixteen-year-old Jiang Chu.

The carriage swayed, Jiang Chu held his chin and looked out the window, Manyun Temple was remote, halfway up the mountainside, and after a while they had to get off the car and walk up the mountain.

If it weren't for her mother's insistence, she wouldn't have come.

The road ahead was muddy, and the subordinate helped the old lady to get out of the carriage.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can already see the roof of the temple.

"Grandmother, how long will it take?" Jiang Chu asked.

The old lady looked up, "Don't worry, it's almost there." ”

Jiang Chu sighed and looked down at the dirty shoes, these are my new shoes.

When they arrived at the temple gate, the abbot led his disciples to stand in front of the door to greet them.

The old lady folded her hands and nodded at the sexual holder.

"The old lady has worked hard all the way, and the temple disciples have prepared a meditation room, please come with me."

The old lady nodded, "Trouble." ”

Jiang Chu came to the temple for the first time, and he was curious about everything, looking east and west.

She ran to the side of a little monk, "Little master, little master, do you have a pond here?" ”

The little monk smiled, "Miss Jiang, yes, it's in the back mountain." ”

Jiang Chu nodded, "Houshan, I know." ”

The old lady and a few girls were resting in the meditation room, and Jiang Chu asked the little master to lead her to the back mountain.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

The little master stood at the entrance and said, "Little donor, remember not to go into the water without permission, the pond is deep." ”

Jiang Chu waved his hand, "Thank you, little master, Miss Ben knows." ”

The environment behind the mountain is very good, the path is paved with pebbles, and there are many exotic flowers and plants planted next to it.

Jiang Chu folded a flower and pinned it to his ear, and jumped into the depths of the back mountain.

Hey? Someone?

By the pond sat a bare-headed gray-clad master who was meditating.

Jiang Chu walked over quietly.

..........................................

Sensing that someone was coming, the monk opened his eyes and stared at the lotus flower in the pond.

Jiang Chu also sat cross-legged beside him. "Little master, why are you here?"

The monk lightly opened his thin lips and said, "Meditation." And there was no more to it.

Jiang Chu bit his lip, "Little master, what's your name?" ”

"Xuanqing." With that, he closed his eyes and refused to speak to her again.

Jiang Chu was afraid of making people unhappy, so he also followed his example and closed his eyes and meditated.

She is an impatient person, and from time to time she opens one eye to look at Xuanqing.

When her feet were numb, she lowered the steps, and her shoes were a little wet.

The lotus flowers in the pond are blooming just right, and you can see one or two wells, all say that it is rare to see the lotus in a hundred years, but I didn't expect that the temple here is very common.

The sun was about to set, and there was a shouting in the distance.

"Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, the old lady asked you to go back." Jiang Chu hurriedly stood up.

Xuanqing heard the voice and opened his eyes, "Master Xuanqing, will you always be here?" ”

Xuanqing's Adam's apple rolled slightly and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Jiang Chu smiled and waved his hand at him, "Goodbye, Master Xuanqing, I'll come to play with you tomorrow."

She turned her head and ran, ran two or three steps, and then turned back, "That's right, my name is Jiang Chu, Da Jiangdong goes to Jiang, Chu Chu is moving." ”

After Jiang Chu left, Xuanqing stood up and walked towards the meditation room.

Jiang Chu, Jiang Chu. It's a good name, but it's a little more out of character.

Irritable .......

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Dinner is a very common boiled cabbage, a dish of Wei Cai, and gruel.

Jiang Chu couldn't eat it without a few bites, it wasn't that she disliked the food in the temple, she just wasn't used to using wax outside.

Today, the moon is exceptionally round, and the meditation room is very quiet, except for the chirping of cicadas and frogs.

The old lady had turned off the lights. Jiang Chu lay on the windowsill, looked at the sky and smiled.

Master Xuanqing is really good-looking, even better than Brother Yun, but his temperament is colder. I've been there for so long that he has only said three words to me.

She rubbed her eyes and lowered the window.

After a while, the meditation room darkened and the monastery calmed down.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

The next day, Jiang Chu was woken up by the bell, rubbing his eyes, and was led by Mrs. Jiang to the Hall of Light to recite scriptures.

Sitting cross-legged behind the pillar, drowsy by the scriptures, his brain is lower than the other.

Seeing that she was about to reach the pillar in front of her, a warm hand held her head.

Jiang Chu raised his head, glanced at the person who came, his face was full of surprise, and was about to speak, Xuanqing put his hand against her lips, signaled her not to make a sound, sat cross-legged beside Jiang Chu, closed his eyes, and began to recite the scriptures, still holding a string of round Buddha beads in his hand.

finally survived the early repair, and after Jiang Chu greeted the old lady, he followed Xuanqing to the back mountain.

Neither of them spoke along the way, almost suffocating Jiang Chu.

As he walked, Xuan Qing suddenly stopped, and Jiang Chu almost hit his broad back without paying attention.

"Huh? What's wrong with Master Xuanqing. Xuanqing didn't speak, squatted down, and stretched out his hand.

A palm-sized gray cat came out of the grass and ran to Xuanqing's hand.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Jiang Chu blinked, "Is this cat raised by Master Xuanqing?" ”

Xuanqing smoothed the cat's hair, "No, I picked it up." ”

"So, can I hug it?" Xuanqing turned around and handed the cat over, which didn't seem to want anyone to touch it. Climbed up his shoulder along Xuan Qing's arm and looked at Jiang Chu with a wary expression.

Xuanqing raised his hand and flicked the kitten's head, and the cat shook its head and barked.

"It's afraid of being raw, so it's good when it's cooked." Jiang Chu withdrew his hand with some disappointment, "Okay." ”

Xuanqing's meditation room is a wooden house, a bamboo bed, a quilt, and a wooden table.

Everything is single, and at a glance you know that he lives alone.

"Sit." Xuanqing put the cat on the bamboo rack and took some dried fish and fed it to the kitten's mouth.

Jiang Chu sat on the bamboo chair, propped his head, and shook the jade spike rope in his hand.

"Little Master Xuanqing, aren't you bored in the back mountain? Why do you live here alone? ”

Xuanqing fed the cat's hand, and the cat raised his head in surprise and licked the master's hand before he continued to catch fish.

"Quiet." Jiang Chu thought that he had too many problems, so he quickly covered his mouth.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Xuanqing sighed, touched the cat's head, and turned around.

"I said, I like to be quiet."

Jiang Chu put down his hand and smiled: "Oh, that's the case." ”

She stood up with her hands behind her back, walked over to Xuanqing, and stuck her head in front of him.

"Aren't you bored, then?" Xuanqing glanced at her, pushed her head away, turned around and left.

"Not boring."

Jiang Chu sighed, "This wood is really unkind." The lotus canopy in the pond grew just right, and Xuan Qing pulled up his trousers and walked down.

Peel off the lotus leaves and pick the lotus pods.

As soon as Jiang Chu came down the steps, he was coaxed back by Xuanqing.

"The mud is dirty, the water is deep, don't come down, help me pick up the lotus pod on the shore."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Chu retracted his feet, the pond was not big, and he could see Xuan Qing's exposed upper body when he stood on the shore. When Xuanqing went ashore, he was still holding a lotus in his hand.

Jiang Chu greeted him, "It's a good-looking and Dilian, what did you pick it for?" ”

Xuanqing raised his eyes to look at her and stuffed the lotus into her arms: "Send you." If you don't like it, throw it away. Jiang Chu took the lotus flower in his hand and found that the small thorns on the stalk had been repaired.

When did he pick the flowers, and there was still time to fix the thorns.
