Chapter 46: The Dharma is Boundless
He carried her aimlessly in the wilderness, it was very dark, and he could only faintly see some paths by the moonlight shining through the clouds, he looked at her drooping head and arms, his heart was in despair, his head was blank, he walked forward at will, walked, and unconsciously came to the broken temple again, he carried her into the temple, the ground was very dirty, he took off his coat, spread it on the ground, and put her body on it.
I sat beside her and hugged her knees tightly, looking sideways at her face, still so beautiful, just bloodless and pale. He looked up at the huge Buddha statue for a moment, and suddenly, like all ordinary people, he began to believe that there might be great, transcendental, compassionate, miraculous powers, powers to overcome all suffering, to save all lives, and yes, he, a college student who had been working to dispel superstitions and respect science, suddenly began to believe in the boundlessness of the Dharma.
He knelt in front of the Buddha statue and kept kowtowing, clasped his hands together, and prayed sincerely: "Buddha, I know that I have committed the heinous sin, I know that the love affair between us is against human morality, and if you can save her, I am willing to go to the eighteen layers of hell." Even...... As long as you can save her......" He frowned and looked back at Ruojun, two lines of hot tears welled up in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth in pain and said: "As long as she can come back to life, I am willing to separate from her, and there will be no more thoughts in this life and this life." ”
After saying "dong dong dong", he kowtowed to the dilapidated Buddha statue three times, expecting a miracle to happen, time passed minute by minute, he knelt beside her, holding her hand, he felt that he was simply crazy, how could he be highly educated, how could he believe in a clay fetus sculpture like those ignorant village women?
He looked at her face carefully, from her hair, to her forehead, to her eyebrows, to her eyelashes, her nose, her lips, not even a shallow mole on her face, her chin, her neck, her neck, her neck! His eyes suddenly stared at her neckline, he found that her neckline was very narrow, it seemed to be tightly stuck on her neck, and there was a string of pearl necklaces on the outside, this discovery made him stunned, how could he be so careless, most of the clothes would tighten when exposed to water, which hindered her breathing even more, he quickly untied her necklace, opened her neckline, simply untied her blouse, and then re-squeezed her abdomen and chest to give her artificial respiration.
"Ruojun, wake up, wake up!" He kept shouting.
Finally, I don't know if it was the Dharma Boundless or the credit of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, when Ruikang pressed her stomach again, she suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water and began to cough incessantly.
Ruikang almost cheered excitedly, and quickly hugged her, let her face down, patted her on the back, and asked her to spit out all the pool water in her body.
She coughed again and again, gasping for breath, and finally returned to the world.
Zhou Ruikang laughed excitedly, "Ruojun, Ruojun, you are really alive, alive!" That's great! I thought you were dead, but I was going to die with you. ”
She groggily muttered, "Where am I?" Am I dead? ”
He hugged her tightly, laughed and cried, and said, "No, no, you are not dead, we are in the ruined temple." ”
"Broken temple?" She looked around with glazed eyes, and then stared at him for a while, she felt that her mind was confused, "Ruikang? How are you? ”
"Of course it's me, I'm the one who fished you out of the lotus pond. You don't remember? He laughs.
"Lotus pond?" She looked confused and squinted at him, "What about Ryan?" ”
His heart sank, how could she ask Ryan? Maybe it was because she had been in the water for too long, or maybe it was because she had been in a coma for too long, so she was confused for a while? Her confused eyes and reaction made him a little disappointed, but after all, she was alive, and he was still very happy and happy. He took her hand, his eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "Ruojun, now that everyone knows about us, we don't have to sneak around anymore, they don't agree, they don't agree, I will take you away, let them object, let's go to the south, I'll go to find a job, let's form our own home, okay?" ”
She looked at him strangely, retracted her hand, frowned slightly, looked confused, shook her head, and said, "Ruikang, what are you talking about?" What's our business? What to go to the South? How can this be? What about Ryan? ”
He was stunned for a moment, as if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head, what happened to her? Why did she keep asking Ryan and be so cold and unfamiliar with herself?
"Ruojun, what's wrong with you?" He asked with a frown, reaching out to touch her face.
She shrank back, this action pierced his heart deeply, and he suddenly felt that she had changed, and sure enough, she trembled and said, "That's it...... Not good. ”
She looked down and found that her blouse was open, her face flushed with shame, and she quickly buttoned up her clothes with a trembling voice, and asked, "Why are we here?" We...... What was done? ”
"Hah! What did we do? He stood up, and he was crazy for her all night, turning his face with everyone, kowtowing to the clay statue, in exchange for such a sentence? He was angry: "You don't think I raped you!" ”
"I ....." She staggered to her feet, and he tried to help her, but her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, but she took a few steps back like a viper, preferring to hold on to the wall rather than hold his hand.
He didn't understand what the hell was going on, could it be that after choking on a few mouthfuls of water, he would lose his memory? He pinched his temples, stepped forward and grabbed her and said, "Ruojun, do you remember how you fell into the water?" Do you remember what we said yesterday afternoon in the wilderness? Do you remember our Hell's League? ”
"Overboard? Why did I fall overboard? Wilderness? Infernal Alliance? What are you talking about? I'm scared of you like this. She trembled and looked at him in horror, her eyes misty. We shouldn't be alone, mom and dad are going to be angry, I want to go home, where is Ryan? ”
"Enough, enough!" He yelled at her, he was very angry, very disappointed, one night he cried for her, laughed for her, completely collapsed for her in front of the whole family, in exchange for her amnesia, no, he didn't believe she would have amnesia, she must be pretending, he looked at her trembling against the wall, and the anger came up, what kind of bullshit is this? How could such a ridiculous thing happen? He rushed up, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her on the lips, and she stared at him with wide eyes, panting for air and struggling.
"Smack----! A loud slap, Ruikang's face was hot, she hit him, she actually hit him? He was stunned, staring at her dumbfounded, tears rolling out of her eyes, looking at her hands, trembling and saying, "I ..... me...... We can't do that. I'm your sister-in-law. ”
He stared at her, grabbed her wrist tightly with one hand, for a long time, and suddenly, he felt that he was so ridiculous, so pathetic, what was his love for? Is it just for this slap, for this "sister-in-law"? He let go of her abruptly. He frowned deeply and said loudly, "Do you want to go home?" Want to see your husband, right? ”
She looked at him in horror, her body trembling, and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"What about me? You don't know me? Don't remember me? Is everything between us gone? No, Mei Ruojun, you can't be so cruel. You can't play with me like this! He roared at her, shaking her desperately, he forgot that she had just come back from the ghost gate, and he was anxious to speak: "You died for me, but you woke up and wanted to return to the eldest brother, what tricks are you playing?" Do you know that if you sway from side to side like this, you will kill our two brothers! ”
Mei Ruojun's whole body trembled because of his anger and roar, and he shook violently, his already unconscious mind felt even more dizzy, his eyes were dark, his whole body was weak, and he fainted again.
He was shocked, hurriedly hugged her, listened to her chest, fortunately, this time he just fainted, and there was no worry about his life, he regretted his recklessness, but he was really crazy, and now, if she does not stand firmly with him, then the two of them will really lose their efforts, and everything will become a ridiculous farce.
There were miscellaneous footsteps in the distance, and a little fire flickered in the woods, needless to say, it was the Zhou family who sent someone to arrest them. The footsteps are getting closer and closer, the fire is getting brighter and brighter, Ruikang's heart is getting heavier and heavier, he is unwilling, unwilling, he pulled Ruojun's arm with a crying voice, and pleaded: "Ruojun, open your eyes, look at me, say you love me, please, say!" Say you love me. He held her face, almost crying, "As long as you say a word, I will take you away, and we will fly away." ”
She woke up in a daze, lying in his arms, but her eyes looked at him blankly, although tears were pouring down her cheeks, but he couldn't tell whether her tears were because she loved him or was afraid of him.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, he had already seen the leader Zhou Gui, he couldn't stay any longer, he couldn't go back to face the questioning of the second elder of the Zhou family and the disappointed and condemning eyes of the eldest brother Ryan, so he had to say anxiously: "Ruojun, listen, I don't care if you really forgot everything, but from now on, remember that I love you." He didn't care whether she refused or not, he forced a deep kiss on her lips, sighed, put her in the corner of the wall next to the temple, turned around and ran quickly into the wilderness, and disappeared into the weeds that were as tall as people.
