For Thailand, I believe that for most people who have not been to or know about Thailand, the biggest image of this country is the transgender people who look beautiful.

With the name originated from Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is "Thai ladyboy".

But locals and tourists know that it's hard to see transgender people on the streets of Thailand, except for nightclubs and some tourist attractions.

Of course, in addition to this, there are many Buddhists in Thailand, according to incomplete statistics, nearly ninety percent of the country's citizens are believers in Buddhism, even monks or nuns. Therefore, from large cities to small villages, there are temples of all kinds and sizes. This has also made Thailand a world-renowned "Buddha country".

The temple that took in Pa Song is located in the town of Dara in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the number of residents in this town is certainly not as large as the number of residents in the city, but it is about 30,000 or 40,000 people, and it is also a small and medium-sized town, and it is quite lively on weekdays.

Pa Song walked alone on the road in the village, and some villagers who believed in the Erawan Buddha on the side of the road would stop and stop when they saw him, and folded their hands to make a Buddhist salute to Pa Song as a sign of respect. If it was before, it is estimated that Ba Song would only nod his head, or even bow his head and just move forward.

But today is different from the past, Ba Song is going to meet someone, a person who makes him rejoice in his heart when he thinks of it, what kind of joy is it, to be honest, Ba Song only feels that his mouth is like being drugged, and all the words go to his throat but he just can't speak. Therefore, when he sees others bowing with him, Ba Song will also stop and bow back.

Because of this, it took Ba Song nearly an hour on the road to a puppet shop called "Truhlar Marionety", two kilometers away from the temple.

The owner of the shop, who had come to Dalla from the Czech Republic from the Czech Republic about two years earlier, was a girl who was only thirteen years old at the time, who happened to be the same age as Ba Song.

At that time, Ba Song was very much loved by the abbot because of his appearance, so when the temple opened the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival (equivalent to the Chinese folk Spring Festival) on March 15 of the Thai calendar every year, the abbot would bring Ba Song to the puppet shop to purchase the Buddha statues and dolls needed to decorate the temple. And Ba Song, with his appearance and taciturn attitude at that time—or with his bald image and identity as a monk—attracted the attention of the boss's daughter.

"Dad, look at that little monk master, it seems that he is a little malnourished." The girl quietly tugged at the corner of her father's clothes, pointed at Ba Song, and whispered to her father.

"Sida, don't talk nonsense." The boss's face suddenly showed some embarrassment, and then he hurriedly saluted the abbot with his hands together, and said with a smile in broken Thai: "Master abbot, I'm really sorry, my daughter is a little rude." ”

The abbot also returned a Buddhist salute and responded with a faint smile: "It doesn't matter, this little benefactor has a delicate heart, and he can notice the appearance of this monk's apprentice, which is really quite Buddha's fate." ”

"Haha, the abbot is so complimented by Sida." The boss saw that the abbot did not look to blame, so he felt relieved, knowing that more than ninety percent of the people in Thailand believe in Buddhism or are becoming monks, if some believers in the temple see the abbot angry, this is not good news for his business.

The boss who had a certain amount of heart stretched out his hand and gestured to a curtain next to the counter, and said to the abbot: "Master abbot, the four-faced Buddha puppet you customized some time ago is putting the finishing touches on it, do you need to take a look?" ”

The abbot nodded and said, "It's okay, this monk heard that the production of Prague dolls in the Czech Republic is quite sophisticated, so this time he bothered the donor to take me in to have a look, and I have gained knowledge." ”

Then he turned back and said, "Ba Song, you are waiting for me here, and you will come when you go for the teacher." ”

"Yes." It was supposed to be a respectful response, but it came out of Ba Song's mouth, but it was extremely bland, and even a little emotionless, like a set mechanical program.

After hearing the response, the abbot raised his hand and asked the boss to take him to see the puppet that was about to be completed, and then followed the boss into the curtain next to the counter.

The boss's daughter "Sida" also tilted her head, and her eyes flickered to look at Ba Song, who was bowing her head and eyebrows, and a glimmer of thought flashed in her eyes from time to time.

What everyone didn't know, or didn't notice, was that the moment the abbot passed by Sida's side, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up slightly, and his eyes were half-narrowed, and those who didn't know thought of his identity would only think that it was a motherly smile.

But if this look is seen by Ba Song, who is facing the ground with his head down, he will definitely shake his back and break out in a cold sweat! This expression is only revealed when the abbot entertains a client or wants to play with a prostitute!

This smile with deep meaning, as the abbot entered the room behind the curtain, only the abbot himself knew what the meaning behind this smile represented.

After the abbot entered behind the curtain, Ba Song silently walked to the door of the doll shop. For some reason, when he sees the delicate dolls on the shelves in the store, he thinks of himself, and thinks of the past five years, when he has been watched and even played with like a puppet.

The only difference is that Ba Song is a flesh and blood person who can eat and drink, and the dolls on the shelves are just lifeless things waiting to be bought.

Ba Song, who felt sad in his heart, but felt powerless to resist, could only stand silently at the door like a humanoid stand, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, Ba Song felt a tap on his shoulder, and then a crisp thrush-like voice sounded in his ears: "Little monk." ”

Ba Song, who was standing in place in a daze, was frightened by the force coming from his shoulder, but after hearing the voice, he reacted, and it turned out that it was the shopkeeper's daughter named Sida who slapped him in the back. Ba Song turned around, folded his hands and said softly, "Little benefactor, what's the matter?" ”

Sida didn't speak, but put a hand in front of Ba Song, spreading her palm to reveal what was in her palm. Ba Song fixed his eyes and saw that the thing in the palm of Sida's hand was a packet of Taro cod shreds. This is a well-known snack in Thailand, which can be purchased in the global chain of 7-Eleven convenience stores, as well as in large supermarkets and street shops. Of course, Ba Song said that he did not know if there were such in other countries.

Ba Song is not a stupid person, of course he knows what Sida means when she hands him this bag of snacks, but for Ba Song, who is wary of outsiders, whether the other party has good intentions or not, Ba Song is not willing to accept it.

So, just when he wanted to refuse, he found that Sida suddenly stuffed the bag of shredded cod into his folded hands, and then Sida took two steps back, and her immature face was filled with a simple smile that only belonged to a child: "Seeing that you look malnourished, I will give you my favorite snack to eat, don't thank me." ”

Ba Song's words of refusal that were about to break out of his teeth were suddenly choked back: "Uh......"

What's going on?

Ba Song snorted for a while: "Little donor, this ......"

Unexpectedly, Sida's originally smiling face suddenly wrinkled, and she actually put on a posture of wanting to cry: "Okay, my favorite things are in your hands, if you dare to give them back to me, I will tell the big monk that you bullied me!" Tell him to punish you! ”

Hearing this last sentence, Ba Song's body trembled slightly, and the words in his mouth were also held back. Indeed, if Sida went to sue the abbot, the abbot would definitely punish him, but Ba Song could think that the abbot's punishment would definitely be to play with him!

At this moment, Ba Song fell silent and stopped talking. And his first impression of Sida was reduced to an extremely low freezing point.

Seeing that Ba Song didn't speak, Sida only thought that her threat had an effect, and suddenly smiled again: "Hehe, that's right, so we are friends." ”

As the saying goes, "the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention", I saw Ba Song's eyes widen slightly, his lips opened a few times, and finally asked with some surprise: "Friend?" ”

"Yes, friend." The smile on Sida's face was even worse, "A friend is someone who can share with each other and be happy together!" That's what my mom told me. ”

Ba Song looked at Sida's immature but innocent and lovely face in a daze, and then looked down at the bag of cod shreds sandwiched between his hands, and unconsciously, a warmth suddenly flowed out of his numb heart.

From childhood to adulthood, except when the abbot took him in, Ba Song looked at the abbot's motherly smiling face, and only then did he have such a situation. But after the abbot had done such a heinous thing to him, Ba Song's young heart had been so traumatized that he never thought he would ever feel it again.

I didn't expect that today I would have this feeling again because of the words of a girl I had never met. Ba Song was speechless for a long time, he was thinking, thinking about why such a bloody scene occurred, and now that he was forced to choose a compromise.

"My name is Tu Lun." The ghost is like a god, Ba Song said softly.

The girl smiled, "My name is Prasda." ”

On that day, Ba Song did not remember how he returned to the temple, he only remembered that he seemed to have talked with the girl for a long time and talked a lot.

It was also from that day that as soon as Ba Song had the opportunity to leave the temple, he no longer stayed in his own monk's dormitory, but went directly to the doll shop and stayed with the girl.

This situation lasted until today, two years later.

At this time, Ba Song, who was already fifteen years old, and Prasda, who was also fifteen years old, had become quite close in the past two years. This was the first time he saw her that year, and he didn't expect it, but Ba Song attached great importance to this relationship, so he did that.

The absurd rumor that led to him becoming the "reincarnation of Long Po", if Ba Song knew that the abbot was suspicious of him, he would definitely praise him for his good brain while being on guard.

Yes, Ba Song used the "Gu" knowledge that he had already learned to the mature stage to make the Gu worm that only existed in legends and could not be recognized and explained by science!

However, the current Ba Song didn't know that the abbot had thought of this, nor did he know that behind a big tree in the distance, the abbot was staring straight at his back!
