I breathed heavily in the quilt, from the terrible fate of the chess piece to the feelings I cared about, if as a chess piece sooner or later I had to die, then why didn't I be happy before and live every day happily?

I asked myself, why can't I live and die with the great monk? Why can't you make a genuine choice within a limited scope?

I hesitated to be unsure of the Great Monk's intentions, and I wasn't sure if he was willing to live and die with me.

What if, he is willing?

I scurried out of the quilt, took the glass octagonal lamp from the cabinet, didn't even bring the hand stove, opened the door and ran out.

As soon as I passed under the porch and ran out of the courtyard, I saw the great monk standing there like a snowman in a white coat, motionless.

I stopped abruptly and stared at him, and he stared at me as well.

After standing for a while, the heat from my body dissipated, and I felt very cold, so I raised my hand and handed him the lamp and said, "The lamp will be returned to you." ”

The great monk looked at the lamp, took it and held my hand at the same time, looked at the sky, and said, "Go, I'll take you somewhere?" ”

As I was pulled by him, I asked, "Where are you going?" Is it far? ”

The great monk walked forward and replied in a deep voice: "It's not far, it's in the temple." ”

He followed him round and round, and at last came to a great tree, with yellow leaves swaying in the cold wind, and many lighted lanterns hanging from the trunk, the dim light melted the remnants of the snow, and the branches were wrapped with red ribbons.

I looked up and said, "What kind of tree is this, the leaves are mostly yellow in such a cold winter?" ”

The great monk smiled: "This is the laurel tree. ”

I pointed to the tip of the branch and asked, "Is there anything to say about the red ribbon hanging on it?" ”

The great monk took my hand and walked to the bottom of the tree, "That is the good luck before the Spring Festival, hang a red silk on the branch, and the wishes you make can come true." ”

I wondered, "Really? ”

The Great Monk nodded, "The higher you tie up, the first your wish will be discovered." ”

I said thoughtfully, "Then I'll try it too." ”

He turned his head and asked, "Where did the red silk come from?" ”

The great monk shook his head with a smile, took out two red silk from his sleeve, I took out one, turned around and climbed the tree without a lady's style, chose a branch that could see the rising sun and sunshine first, tied the red silk, and made a wish in my heart in front of the snowy night and bright moon.

I jumped down from the tree, the great monk just protected me, I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he hugged me tighter, I slowly tried to rest my head on his shoulder, and I could smell the faint sandalwood on his body at the end of my nose.

After a while, he whispered in my ear, "What did you wish on it?" ”

I laughed and said, "If you can't tell you, it won't work if you tell you." ”

After a while, he let go of me, took my hand, and said, "Look at your eyes are bloodshot, you must have not slept well last night." ”

I replied, "I didn't sleep well." ”

The great monk asked, "Why?" ”

I said, "Because I couldn't figure it out last night." ”

The great monk looked at me: "Now you have figured it out?" ”

I nodded, "I figured it out, how could I come out with you if I hadn't figured it out?" ”

Then, he looked at the great monk and asked, "What about you?" ”

The great monk stared at me, "I didn't sleep last night because I couldn't figure it out, but because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to figure it out." ”

I was wandering in my heart, whether to ask or not, whether that layer of window paper should be pierced?

The great monk tilted his head to look at me and said, "Just ask if you have anything to say, you have never been a person who talks a lot." ”

I made up my mind, took a breath of cold air, and asked the great monk, "I'm not sure what you mean." ”

The great monk was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

I replied, "Is it a superficial taste and a show?" Or hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son? ”

The great monk only frowned and looked at me for a long time, "Miao Miao, in your heart, am I so unworthy of your trust?" ”

I bowed my head and said, "I just want to make sure, you know, my life wasn't going well before, so I ...... It's also hard to give yourself up easily. ”

This day is also strange, just after the snow, the northwest wind blew, the sideburns left on both sides of me were blown up, the big monk helped me pull the neckline, said: "The wind is up, I will send you back." ”

I nodded, and he took my hand again and walked back, "Why are your hands so cold, why don't you wear more?" ”

I smiled: "I suddenly figured it out just now, and I was in a hurry to find you, so I didn't bother." ”

He didn't give up and asked, "Seriously, what did you just wish?" ”

I pursed my lips and shook my head, pretending to be profound, "I can't tell you." ”

The great monk sighed: "Even I can't say it? ”

I nodded and smiled, "No, but I can tell you that it has something to do with you, so don't ask, if it comes true in the future, I'll tell you." ”

The great monk said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, don't ask, I'll wait for the day when it will be realized." ”

My wish is simple and simple, but if it is difficult, it can be compared to the sky.

I promise: the world is peaceful.

Only when the world is peaceful, can I be well, the great monk can be well, the Jinsu Temple can be well, and the Taifu Mansion can be well.

Everyone is good, I am satisfied, I dare not ask too much, let alone extravagance, I want to get better day by day, take a step, look at a step, in short, for us now, it is good to live up to the sincerity and live up to yourself.

I raised my eyes to look at the moon in the sky, which was not perfect, and said, "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. ”

The great monk said: "People say that the full moon is lacking, and the water is full and overflowing, I think we are just right now." ”

I glanced sideways at the great monk, "You're a little bit of a good guy." ”

The great monk smiled and said: "What the princess said in Maolin last time, in fact, I agree with it, what is a lot of money, what high-ranking officials, what status and fame, they are all constraints, they are all passive, they are not important, and they are not what I want," and said: "Miao Miao, I can tell you clearly, these things are all I am ready to discard at any time." ”

I asked, "So what do you want?" ”

The great monk smiled faintly and said, "I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." ”

I sighed, "You know, the easiest is the hardest. ”

The great monk said: "I know, I was born because of the birth of the election was chosen, to the age of more than ten years, suddenly a holy decree changed all my life, overnight, the happy family is gone, childhood sweethearts are gone, even not myself, I must live according to that will, at that moment I know very well, from the moment I was born I involuntarily became a pawn under the imperial power, is the elephant? Is it a car? Or cannon? ”

I looked deeply at the great monk and said nothing, he is really my confidant, but the world is big, the imperial power is strategic, who is not a chess piece in it?

You are.

I am.

Jinsu Temple is.

The same is true of the Taifu Mansion.

Even Jianning and Sanye are.

I said: "It's a pity that I have always been a selfish person, if one day I am asked to be a victim of imperial power, I don't want to, let alone want to, but, do we have a chance to resist?" ”

The great monk smiled and said, "According to what you say, I am not angry. ”
