Chapter 16: Who Are You, My Tablemate?

Knowing a person starts with knowing someone one by one, which is Chen Wen's teaching.

The day before school started, Liang Chen woke up from his dream, his left hand clutching the black thermal underwear on his chest, as if he wanted to keep something. He dreamed of parting, and Xue Ji smiled and waved under the green minibus he was going home on, saying goodbye.

It just so happened that I was going to get together with Qiu Nan and Xue Ji today, but I had such a strange dream, if Zhou Yin knew that it was inevitable to make a big fuss, and then seriously asked her brain about the prediction of this dream. Looking at the chat record with Xue Ji on his mobile phone last night, Liang Chen shook his head a few times and cleared his chaotic thoughts.

The reason for the party is that Du Ruo celebrates the beginning of his career, the purpose is unknown, and Qiu Nan always pulls up Liang Chen's tiger skin - in order to let Liang Chen see Xue Jiao, but Liang Chen can see Xue Jiao every day after the start of school. Du Ruo knew that Liang Chen couldn't fool him, and he couldn't fool Liang Chen. On the day of the Lantern Festival, Du Ruo told Liang Chen very bluntly that he was going to invite Qiu Nan to dinner, and he would take you and Xue Ji by the way.

"Are you going to cheat now?" Liang Chen's tone was like that of a judge interrogating a prisoner, and he asked coldly.

Dai Xiao already knew Qiu Nan, and Qiu Nan also knew Dai Xiao early, although the two didn't know each other, but there were always some good idlers passing on some rumors, and she was only one last time away from acquaintance. No matter how I break up with Dai Xiao in the end, whether it is because of Qiu Nan or not, in the end, I will put on the hat of a scumbag, and I may not be able to take it off until I die. But I just think of Qiu Nan as a very good friend of mine, just talk a few more words, give more gifts, and spend more time than other female friends. And then what! Anything else? Did I say I like Qiu Nan? I even deliberately kept a physical distance from her. Du Ruo said this seemingly impassioned explanation with some anger, as if he had been wronged.

"When you go to court, your words are a forced interpretation of personal subjectivity in the face of ironclad evidence, just like duckweed on water, without foundation. But as your best friend for more than ten years, I still choose to believe you, after all, Watanabe-kun is not also in love with Midoriko, but he also loves the dead Naoko! Liang Chen smiled meaningfully, he wanted to warn Du Ruo that if it weren't for Dai Xiao's "death" of this love, he would have a way to destroy Du Ruo's love.

Liang Chen had some remorse for pulling Dai Xiao into the bitterness of this love, although without him, Du Ruo might also be with Dai Xiao. But Liang Chen always has the Buddhist reincarnation of cause and effect, this love finally started because of his matchmaking, and he had "karma", when facing Dai Xiao, Liang Chen always seemed to carry a huge cross, with a natural sense of guilt in his heart. Occasionally, at night, Liang Chen would create another parallel space, Du Ruo did not be with Dai Xiao after meeting Qiu Nan in high school, only at that time, Liang Chen slightly felt that the shackles on his body were opened.

When drinking milk tea, Liang Chen was a little distracted, he was creating another space and thinking about another Liang Chen who was free from cause and effect. Xue Ji called him several times, and Liang Chen returned to reality through the cave wall of time and space. Xue Ji asked him what he was thinking, and when the word Dai Xiao almost flew out of his mouth, Liang Chen fought fiercely between his teeth, and instantly replied with a smile that it was nothing.

"Why do you want to tell me the story of the Pilu Cave after school starts?" Xue Ji asked with some curiosity.

"When you're bored in art class, it's time to listen to stories, and you think about whether it's more delicious to eat snacks after class." Liang Chen replied.

Du Ruo took a sip of milk tea, as if revealing the secret of magic, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, Liang Zi just wants to leave some topics to retain your curiosity, which is his main means of making female friends." ”

Du Ruo did not forget to emphasize the words "female friend", as if Liang Chen was the scumbag in the romance drama.

"Mr. Lu Xun once said: Only silence is the highest contempt for slander, and he doesn't even turn his eyes." Liang Chen said to Xue Jiao, "When the time comes, you will know if you have experienced it in art class or computer class, and then endure it until the second week, and you will find that it is a kind of enjoyment." ”

"You seem to have said the same thing as me, looking for the smell of apples." Qiu Nan punched Liang Chen's defense to the sky, and Du Ruo couldn't help laughing.

"Liang Zi, I didn't expect you to be such a person, hey! The human heart is unpredictable! Xue Ji said with emotion.

"Qiu Nan, you touch your conscience and say, isn't it wonderful." Liang Chen asked pretending to be innocent.

"A psychopath comes to a conclusion in a psychotic way, and a materialistic scientist would not believe it."

"That's not what you asked!" Liang Chen said: "I'm asking you if that description is wonderful. ”

"The reprocessing of art is simply the gustatory nerve at the tip of the tongue that transmits the taste to the cerebral cortex." Qiu Nan said somewhat casually.

Liang Chen gave a thumbs up, "I have nothing to say, any explanation is a pale word, I still go to jump the Yangtze River to prove my innocence." ”

"Why don't you go to Tazi Mountain now! Let Liang Zi wash away his sins. Xue Ji said.

Qiu Nan and Du Ruo said they had no opinion, Liang Chen thought about objecting, seeing that Xue Ji was looking forward to it so much, Liang Chen choked back after eating some popcorn when the words of refusal came to his mouth, and nodded in agreement.

Tazi Mountain doesn't seem to have changed anything, but the big red lanterns on the arched small door of the farmhouse in the old place on the mountainside are gone, the mother-in-law selling incense wax paper candles on the bluestone steps is less, and the fortune teller is gone, but the big characters in the three cursive characters of Pilu Cave are still so bright red.

Entering the long and narrow layout of the Pilu Cave, under the cliff on the right hand side is the main cave, the Pilu Buddha sits on the lotus platform supported by two wrestlers, and the eye-catching is the protector who is blackened by the smoke and fire.

"What kind of Buddha is Virupha." Xue Ji asked.

"Where's Virufo! It is the abbreviation of Virujana Buddha, and Virujana Buddha is actually the Buddha's Dharma body, Buddha Shakyamuni has three Buddhas, Dharma body Virujana Buddha, should be Shakyamuni Buddha, and the reincarnation is Lushana Buddha. Du Ruo hurriedly said, "Am I right, Brother Liang." ”

"His grandfather believed in this the most." Liang Chen also learned from Qiu Nan to answer the question, "There are five Buddhas and four Bodhisattvas on the first floor of the Pilu Buddha, in addition to the Pilu Buddha, there are also the left and right Baosheng Buddhas, Amitabha Buddhas, Ah Buddhas, and Bukong Buddhas, and the faces are similar." The two sides are the four bodhisattvas, Manjushri, Guanyin, Puxian, and Dashi Zhibodhisattva. Behind the Buddha is the Ten Refining Diagram of the Liu Buddha. ”

Liang Chen looked at the Ten Refining Diagram of Liu Benzun behind him, and introduced it weakly, like an overworked tour guide.

It is said that Liu Benzun was the founder of Tantric Buddhism in the late Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, and legend has it that between the ages of 44 and 51, he achieved positive results by ten earth-shattering ghosts and gods. When he was 44 years old, Yanagi took an oath to the Buddha and swore a curse to destroy ghosts. On the eighth day of the eighth month of the year, he preached and preached in the ashram of the house, practiced the two fingers of his left hand and made offerings to the Buddhas, vowing to save sentient beings in distress. This is the first refining - refining the fingers.

It is November, the deity climbs Mount Emei, encounters heavy snowfall, sits in the white snow for a day and night, as if there is no change of color, in order to imitate the six years of practice and enlightenment of Shakyamuni Snow Mountain, which is the second refining - Lixue.

When he was 47 years old, he used sandalwood to burn his left foot and ankle to support the Buddhas, praying that all sentient beings would meet the dojo and never practice the place of evil deeds.

The fourth refining - gouging out the eyes, one day Guanghan guarded Zhao Gong too much, and sent a small official to ask for the eye of the deity, and the lie was used as a medicine as a temptation. The deity has been prophetic, and since the small official, the deity washes the precept knife with perfume and gouges out the left eye, and the face does not change. The Bodhisattva Vajra appeared to testify.

At the age of 49, the deity cut off his left ear and offered to the Buddhas, praying for the elimination of the disease, and feeling the appearance of the great sage of Fuqiu in the air. This fifth refinement is the cutting of the ear.

The sixth refining - refining the mind, the deity was 50 years old at the time, refining the heart with an incense candle, offering to the Buddhas, developing bodhicitta and entering the Dharma realm, in the end, it is like a void, so that all sentient beings will never stop their troubles, and the king of the great wheel of enlightenment appeared to testify.

At that time, the deity used five spices and formed a candle, sitting upright on the top of the refining roof, imitating my Buddha Rulai Magpie's Nest top phase, the Great Light King Shetou almsgiving, and felt that Manjushri Bodhisattva appeared to testify. This is the seventh refining, refining the top

The eighth refining - give up the arm, the deity knotted the altar Yujin Fang, wave the knife to break the left arm, after the forty-eight knives to break, the knife vows, vows to save sentient beings, in response to the forty-eight wishes of Amitabha Buddha, on the top of a hundred thousand days of music without drumming and singing.

This refining skips, Baidu by himself, it is difficult for me to describe, I am not allowed to ask anything, Du Ruo is not allowed to laugh. Liang Chen continued, "The tenth refining, refining the knees, the deity will burn the incense on the knees, make offerings to the Buddhas, and make a wish for all sentient beings, and the three of Longhua will meet each other." ”

"Liang Zi, I talked like a tour guide today, it's not up to standard!" Du Ruo scoffed.

"I just said, this story can't be told without art classes, and when it is told outside of this time, it is the difference between heaven and earth." Looking at Xue Ji and the others, Liang Chen's face was regretful, as if he had lost a treasure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my suggestion is to go home, as for the story, we will come to Japan for a long time, and there will be a chance to fill the hole."

Xue Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that she had listened to a forty-minute history lesson, and she was completely reading the soft words composed of obscure words, which was really boring.

On the way back to school, Xue Jiao walked quietly beside Liang Chen, and whispered close to his ear: "Did you do it on purpose?" ”

Liang Chen was a little caught off guard, the faint fragrance that belonged to her came into his nose, and the heat brought out between the words was like a volcanic molten slurry, Liang Chen's cheeks were steamed at once, his brain seemed to be really dead, and he lost the ability to think, for a while, Liang Chen was like the first generation of robots, walking forward mechanically without answering.

A few minutes later, Liang Chen met the god of relief in Euripides' play, and the sharp whistle on Shihe Street reached out and turned on the ON switch in Liang Chen's head, and Liang Chen, who pretended to be calm, learned Zhou Jun's naughty tone, and asked Xue Ji what about deliberately.

Liang Chen seemed to have read the unteachable thoughts in her head, Xue Ji knocked on Liang Chen's Heavenly Spirit Cover as if attacking, and whispered, "Didn't you say it that day!" If so, be bold and tell me. ”

In the evening self-study, Liang Chen stayed for a night, and Zhou Sang talked about tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting for one night!

Liang Chen began to rethink who Xue Ji was, and he flipped through the few people he knew in the pages of history, but he always didn't know.

In the dust of time, Liang Chen sketched another girl's figure - Chen Wen, his elementary school and junior high school classmates. She taught Liang Chen to know someone and first come up with another person in history, novels, and TV that you are familiar with, just like the draft template in the NBA, you can get to know him faster, and you don't have to work so hard to find it when you make up essays for exams, just think about the people around you.

Since then, Liang Chen is always thinking about who is who when he is in a daze and sleeping, Liang Chen's first definition of the person is Du Ruo, he is Du Yuesheng, a gangster when he was not famous, but at the beginning of his business, Liang Chen upgraded him to Peicheng Liu Bang; Zhou Sang is Zhao Ye in the novel "The Year in a Hurry"; Qiu Nan is Zhao Min in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer"; Zhou Yin is similar to Yuan Xiangqin in "Mischievous Kiss······

Liang Chen's mind was about to explode and suddenly searched for something surprising, except for himself, among the people with whom Liang Chen had a good relationship, he never seemed to have thought about who his master Chen Wen was, and in the past three years, he didn't even have a trace of thought, and Liang Chen's mind flashed one horror story after another - maybe Chen Wen didn't exist.

Liang Chen looked at Chen Wen who had put on makeup on his mobile phone, which was a photo of her performance on New Year's Day. She seems to have been arranged by God to live a lonely life in another dimension. Liang Chen's guqin in his heart was inadvertently stirred by himself, who is Chen Wen? Maybe Xue Ji is who.

When he was in junior high school, Liang Chen's writing was always imaginative, according to the characters of the stories told by Old Man Li, and even the names were not changed, "Bao Gong Case" and "Yang Jiajiang" These well-known works, the teacher can still know, but Liang Chen always makes up some unwarranted stories, either the martial arts legends of the golden sword and iron horse, drinking horses and rivers, or horror novels such as gods, ghosts, demons and foxes.

There are more than 50 students in the class, and the Chinese teacher is still the "only favorite" Liang Chen, and he has to call Liang Chen to the office to reprimand him every once in a while, the reason is that he has too many strange ideas in his brain, and when appreciating ancient poems, he either answers the questions that are not asked, or writes a lot of self-feelings, and does not know the essence of the teacher's routines.

Liang Chen always felt that he was the cause planted by Chen Wen in his previous life, and he wanted to repay himself in this life. It was she who dragged Liang Chen back to reality from that empty fantasy world, and Liang Chen's life turned from an "accident" into a story.

After evening self-study, Liang Chen couldn't wait to ask Chen Wen on QQ, who are you? It's just a fake addition of fake greetings like how you're doing. Liang Chen was nervously looking forward to the unknown answer, and the mood that described it was similar to waiting for the answer after confessing. She understood what he meant, no doubt.

The broken street lights on the basketball court flashed every ten minutes, and Liang Chen was lying prostrate in the bed, counting the sheep and reading the news when he counted to 100. After twelve o'clock, Zhou Jun said vague dream words, probably worried about tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting, and the penultimate Wang Yuan snored from time to time and slept peacefully, only Liang Chen counted a few stars in the night sky back and forth alone, still waiting for the answer by luck.

At the parent-teacher meeting, Liang Chen sat next to his mother and dozed off, last night he seemed to have counted all the sheep in his life, but the savior Chen Wen did not hear his pious prayers, perhaps, she had ended this period of cause and effect and achieved the Tao.

When Liang Chen lowered his head to recover his mana, Teacher Mu praised him and Zhou Jun's progress in English, and asked him to give a speech.

Liang Chen was very indifferent, like Mr. Bean who won the trophy and left when he received the award. It's just that he has more worldly routines, Liang Chen thanked Mr. Mu, Mr. Zeng, the representatives of the English class, and the friends who helped him on the road of his English growth, there are many such people, they are like the engine and wheels on the socialist chariot pushing me forward······ It's so perfunctory, but you can't reach out and interrupt him, because that's what we are.

Zhou Jun seemed a lot more excited, thanked everyone according to Liang Chen's template, and finally sold the words and phrases that he had learned secretly, we have to learn from Mr. Lu Xun, and overcome the difficulties in learning with knives and guns, and daggers, instead of compromising and yielding, for which the applause he received was far better than Liang Chen, just because his perfunctory was more advanced.

At the end of the parent-teacher meeting, Zhou Jun was happy in the bedroom for a long time, and in the face of everyone's ridicule, he contemptuously said even more pretending to be 13, only people who have also experienced boundless darkness are qualified to say I understand you.

The three chapters of Zhou Jun's death in the first season have completely passed, and he has survived this catastrophe.

In the last self-study class in the afternoon, Mr. Mu arranged for us to start choosing positions again according to the rankings, and Liang Chen, who was in third place, moved forward from the back row, and he didn't notice that the No. 13 imprint was written next to No. 27.

In the last period of self-study on Monday, when Liang Chen brushes up on math problems, he always unconsciously looks at Xue Jiao on the left, although before this they chatted about English reading all night, he was adjusting to the girl he was familiar with and strange at the same time in this class, Liang Chen had to adapt, because they were at the same table.

But who are you? My tablemates. Liang Chen, who followed behind Xue Ji after the evening self-study, muttered.

After the lights went out at night, Liang Chen secretly read Chen Wen's reply in the bed. The front is the apology words she taught Liang Chen, which are just some real reasons, very sincere. You can't lie about an apology, Liang Chen silently recited Chen Wen's earnest teachings three years ago.

As for "who are you", Chen Wen playfully responded by not telling you. She just told Liang Chen "who he is" - Bai Suzhen, a woman who loves to make up stories and is entangled in the cycle of cause and effect.

Liang Chen gave Chen Wen a violent expression, and lay down a little dejected.

With his eyes closed, Liang Chen threw all the unknowns on the starry sky outside the window, and recalled in his mind the formulas about trigonometric functions in the evening self-study of mathematics, sin, cosin, and tan are much better than the definition of a "woman", and natural science with absolute answers is much easier than vague social science.

The street lamp next to the basketball court has not been repaired, and Liang Chen's mind flashed like a hypnotic tool, and the tired upper eyelids closed the door, Liang Chen fell asleep, and he had to say good morning to his new table classmates tomorrow according to Chen Wen's teachings!
