Chapter 19: The Dzi Pearls Are Lost
When I was sleeping, I was woken up by a faint sound, at first it sounded like a child's cry, but when I listened carefully, no, it was not a child crying, it was a cat meowing.
I said in my heart, Master, what's wrong with this, I don't sleep at night to learn how to bark? I couldn't help but turn on the flashlight on my mobile phone, and saw that Master was still lying on the bed asleep, and the cat's meowing stopped.
Maybe it's a wildcat somewhere, I thought, turned off the flashlight and went back to sleep.
No change overnight. When I woke up very early, I looked at my watch, and it was only past seven o'clock. Look at Master, but the bed is empty. I got up and touched Master's bed, and it was cold inside, which meant that Master hadn't been in bed for at least some time.
What's going on? I immediately called Master's phone, and Master remembered the ringtone at the head of his bed, but he didn't bring his mobile phone!
I was a little dazed, put on my clothes and got up to check, the key card at the door was not there, the Master's clothes were not there, and the luggage was in the room.
A few minutes later, the door opened, and the master came in with a pack of haggis, looked at me, pointed to the haggis, and said, "I can't wake up before thirty, I can't sleep after thirty, I got up early, and when I saw that you slept soundly, I went to eat breakfast by myself. ”
As I spoke, Master handed me the haggis and I took it, thinking that I had nothing to worry about.
I was eating haggis while watching TV, and Master warmed up and took off his coat. At this time, I realized that something was wrong, and the dzi around Master's neck was missing.
It was a three-eyed dzi in good condition, and the capital was six (middle six, term, referring to 400,000 to 600,000), and the master had been wearing it close to his body, and I remember that it was still hanging around the master's neck yesterday, and it was gone today. I was afraid that the rope on which Master wore the dzi was broken and fell somewhere, so I hurriedly asked, "Boss, where is the dzi around your neck?" ”
When the master heard my question, he subconsciously covered his neck with his hand, but his expression was very calm, and he just said, "You don't have to worry about it. ”
I was not happy to hear it, this is the most valuable property in our family, how can I ignore it, I approached the master, pulled away the hand that was covering his neck, and I didn't see the dzi, but I saw a few scratches. For a moment, I seemed to figure it out.
Then I took Master's hand and said, "Master, are you going to fight dogs?" Is it that the customs here are different from Ali's, people don't let you beat dogs, and they tickle you? Did you press the dzi there? Where, take me quickly, I'll go get the money, give me the card. "I know that Master must have deliberately concealed from me that he said this, and wanted to lead him to say the following.
The master waved his hand and said, "Xiaoshuai, don't make trouble." Is Master that kind of person? After speaking, he patted me on the shoulder and continued: "With Master's means, do you still use dzi to beat the dog?" If I don't bring something back, it's a loss. ”
I relented and said, "Then Master, what's the matter?" ”
Master was so entangled by me that he couldn't help it, so he removed his hand from his neck and pointed at his neck for me to see, "What do you think this is?" ”
"Isn't it just that someone scratched you, and someone planted strawberries for you?" As I spoke, I saw that there were three blood marks on Master's neck, but they were very spaced apart, and they were not caught by anyone.
Master said, "This is not something that was scratched out, you stupid X. This is scratched out by a cat. ”
Cat? In this way, when I heard a cat meow last night, it wasn't because I was asleep, or because it was a sound from Master, but because there was a cat. Then Master and I told me what we had heard last night, and then asked, "Master, do you mean that a cat took your dzi and scratched you?" ”
However, the master didn't care about what I said, and just said to me: "Xiaoshuai, do you know that the five poisonous hearts of Buddhism, greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion, why is greed ranked first?" ”
Actually, I hadn't heard the term "Five Poisonous Hearts", I had only heard of greed and hatred, and I shook my head and asked, "Master, why?" ”
Master said slowly: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble......
I admit that I really didn't understand it, but I only knew that it was a verse from the Diamond Sutra, and I wanted to ask Master, who had already taken out his phone and shook it.
In the morning, I watched TV at the hotel for a while, and when it was almost ten o'clock, Master and I drove to Brother Wei's house. When he arrived at Brother Wei's house, Brother Wei was playing chess with someone at the entrance of the village.
The one playing against Brother Wei was a middle-aged man, handsome, with a fair complexion, and an extraordinary bearing. Brother Wei was fighting, and he didn't get up when he saw that we were coming, so he nodded as a gesture.
I noticed that from the time we came over to now, Brother Wei had finished smoking a cigarette and hadn't taken a step yet. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man was a master, and Brother Wei didn't have the power to parry.
The master stared at the two people playing the game, but did not look at the chessboard.
After a few more minutes, Brother Wei admitted defeat and said "The ball is dead". At this time, the middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the master for a few seconds, did not speak, and smiled slightly.
