Chapter 13 Xiaolian (Ask for Collection~)
Liu Yiyi was very angry and wanted to ask Qin Feng about the photo, but Liu Yiyi didn't want to ask, the matter had come to this, what was the point of asking?
I stood still.
I didn't approach you.
The sky woke up with the sound of gongs in the temple. ”
Liu Yiyi remembered Tagore's "I Want Nothing", and Liu Yiduo thought that Qin Feng had never approached him, and he had never approached Qin Feng. And not when she was already in love, but something like this happened.
The birds are free to soar in the sky, overlooking the vast land, maybe the birds are carefree, maybe the birds' worries have not been told to me, maybe not, maybe they ......
Lyui stood at the top of the hill with her head tilted slightly, her eyes closed, her arms outstretched, and her left foot taking a small step forward.
"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust."
Lyui was interrupted by the sudden voice, and withdrew her left foot, and turned her head to see an old man standing next to her.
I can't tell how old he is, he may be very old, he may be old, he is dressed very plainly, he has a ring scar on his head, he says he is a monk, but he does not wear monk's clothes, he says he is not but he has been ordained.
Lyui stood stunned, not knowing what to do or how to speak to the old man.
The old man spoke: "Little girl, would you like to listen to a few words from this old man?" ”
The old man's eyes revealed wisdom and the light that saw through all things.
Liu Yiyi subconsciously nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
"I don't remember how many years ago, where did I start? Let's start with the first time I met Xiaolian! That was before I was ordained, should I have been seventeen or eighteen? None of this is very important. That day there was a family in the temple to offer incense, I saw a little girl among them, very good-looking, very good-looking, she was Xiaolian, I hid behind the temple gate and looked at Xiaolian, Xiaolian also saw me, she smiled at me, very beautiful, very beautiful.
Then one day Master asked me to go down the mountain to help the villagers, saying that he wanted to hone me. So I went, and then I ran into Xiaolian, the youngest daughter of the family that I was helping with. Xiaolian is very lively, and also loves to play, every time I help finish the work, Xiaolian will take me to play, Xiaolian takes me to fish, monks talk about compassion, so I just watch from the side, we also saved a nest of birds together, as long as I am with Xiaolian, even if I sit halfway up the mountain and watch the sky, I can watch all day. ”
The old man looked at Lyui, and Lyui looked at the old man.
The old man made a backward gesture, and Lyui slowly took a few steps back and left the edge of the mountain.
The old man continued: "Then I was ordained, and I went to look for Xiaolian again, and Xiaolian took me to the depths of the mountains and forests, and she ran in front, and I chased after her, and suddenly, Xiaolian stopped.
Xiaolian walked up to me, looked at me and asked softly, 'Is it okay not to be a monk?' ’
I nodded and said, OK.
Xiaolian then asked me, 'Is it okay not to be an abbot?' ’
I still said, OK.
Then, Xiaolian was in my ear, blushing, and whispered to me: 'I will be your wife, do you want it?' ’
I excitedly said, yes.
That day, Xiaolian and I went deeper into the mountain and startled a flock of birds. ”
Silence, silence
Liu Yiyi waited for the old man to tell the rest of the story, but the old man stopped talking, and just looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile.
"And then?" Liuyi's eyes widened and he asked.
The old man paused and then said, "On the day I became my boss, Xiaolian also married someone else and moved away. ”
Lyui thought to herself: "This is really a sad story. ”
"No, it's a happy story." The old man said.
Liu Yiyi looked at the old man, his eyes full of shock, shocked why the old man was able to know what was going on in his heart.
The old man smiled, and then said: "Xiaolian chose to forgive, she forgave me, she forgave herself, and slowly I forgave myself. ”
Liu Yiyi nodded as if she didn't understand.
"Have you ever forgiven yourself?"
After the old man asked Liu Yiyi these words, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Liu Yiyi turned to look up at the sky again, and the sun hid behind the clouds for a long time and did not come out. Looking at the birds, they are still flapping their cheerful wings and flying. I saw the solemn temple down, still full of incense, and people came and went. I saw the big tree that didn't have half of its body, but it still took root and sprouted and flourished.
Have I ever forgiven myself?" Liu Yiyi thought about this sentence in her heart, and said secretly: "It's so difficult. ”
Liu Yiyi turned around and went down the hill and returned to the Ziyuan Inn, the boss was not there, and it was the proprietress who was sitting at the front desk.
"Little girl, are you back? Where did you go today? Happy? The proprietress asked with a smile.
"I went to the mountains and had a look." Lyui replied.
"Is there anything fun?" The proprietress asked again.
"There's nothing fun about it, it's just that the scenery is great." Lyui replied with a smile, and Lyui felt that she was a lot lighter, and her heart.
"That's good, it's good to see the scenery."
As long as Liu Yiyi enters the Ziyuan Inn, her mood will be much better, and Liu Yiyi herself doesn't understand why. Ryui also likes to chat with the boss and the hostess.
Suddenly, Liu Yiyi thought of something and asked, "Auntie, how did you and uncle meet before?" ”
"Introduced by the family." The proprietress said.
Lyui smiled.
The proprietress looked at Liu Yiyi, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face was full of anger, and she said in a deep voice: "What? What did that old thing say to you again? Let's see how I clean him up when he comes back. ”
"Uncle didn't say anything, just said that you were chasing him at the beginning." Lyui said.
The anger on the boss's face disappeared, and she said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, who is chasing whom, he came back from the army, his family introduced him, and when he met, I felt that both parties were okay, plus I was also a little injured in my heart at the time, so I married him." ”
"Hurt a bit? What hurt? Liu Yiyi asked suspiciously.
"Oh, look at my mouth, I will say everything as soon as I say it, and you are also a girl, I am very comfortable talking to you, and I will say everything unconsciously." The proprietress said a little embarrassed, glanced at Liu Yiyi, and hurriedly said, "You, you've been out for a day, hurry back to your room to rest." ”
Liu Yiyi blinked, didn't speak or move, just stood there and looked at the proprietress with a posture that if you don't finish, I won't leave.
The proprietress saw that Liu Yiyi had no intention of leaving, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Hey, you little girl won't listen to my story today, won't you leave?" Forget it, it's my fault that I leaked my mouth. Sit and listen! ”
"Hey...... Thank you Auntie. Lyui said with a smile, and then sat down on the stool behind her.
The proprietress glanced at Liu Yiyi, and then said with a smile: "When I was a child, my family lived at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain you went to today was not far from the temple, and the monks of the temple would go down the mountain to help us work in those years. ”
"And then?" Liu Yiyi asked a little eagerly, Liu Yiyi thinks this can't be such a coincidence, right? It can't have something to do with the old man today, right?
Seeing Liu Yiyi's eager expression, the proprietress paused, as if she had a lot of courage, and said, "Don't go around talking nonsense?" ”
Liu Yiyi nodded obediently and obediently.
"I fell in love with the little monk who helped our family. He promised me not to be a monk or an abbot, but in the end he still became his abbot. The proprietress looked a little mournful, and her tone was a little sad.
"Don't you hate him?" Lyui asked softly.
"Hate what hate! He was originally going to be the abbot, but he was young and ignorant at that time, thinking that as long as they liked each other, they could stay together for a lifetime, but then they slowly understood that people, after all, they are living in the world, and some things still can't be changed. ”
After the proprietress finished speaking, she smiled at Liu Yiyi.
Lyui couldn't see what was in the smile.
Liu Yiyi guessed correctly, the little lotus that the old man on the mountain said should be the proprietress in front of him.
"Okay, after listening to the story, let's hurry back to the room." The proprietress said.
Liu Yiyi nodded obediently and said, "Auntie asks you a question at the end." ”
The proprietress said helplessly: "Okay, what do you want to ask?" ”
"What was your name when you were younger?" Lyui asked with a smile.
"It's a bit of a bad name, you're going to laugh when you hear it."
"I promise not." Lyui said and made a sworn gesture.
"When I was a child, everyone called me, Xiaolian!"
