"Me? My name is the sea of hearts, the hearts of the hearts, the sea of the ocean. ”

"Sea of hearts" Xia Yutong looked around dimly, and then looked at the vague sea of hearts in front of him, "Where is this?" Why can't I see anything clearly? ”

"This is my home, the ruined temple where I lived since I was a child. Your eyes have been hit to the brain, so there is a temporary lack of blood supply, which temporarily affects your vision. After a while, it should be fine. Kokomi said with a smile.

"Broken temple? Kokomi, are you a monk here? ”

"I'm ......" Xinhai hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Yes, I am a monk here. ”

Xia Yutong's stomach suddenly gurgled uncontrollably, and before she could open her mouth to ask Xinhai for food, Xinhai brought hot vegetable porridge from the table next to her, put it next to Xia Yutong's bed, and gently stroked her, blew the vegetable porridge, and fed it to Xia Yutong's mouth one by one.

"Master Xinhai...... You're so nice. ”

Xinhai wiped Xia Yutong's mouth, and she finally couldn't bear the sorrow in her heart and cried miserably.

"What if, if everybody is like ...... It's all like Master Xinhai, you...... It's nice to be as kind as you. ”

Facing Xia Yutong's sudden tears, Xinhai was at a loss for a while. Except for listening carefully and helping her wipe her tears from time to time, he didn't know what else he could do to help Xia Yutong at this time.

From the story told by Xia Yutong, Xinhai roughly understood the tragedy of her life.

It turns out that the village where they live has a legend since ancient times - that is, every three years, an unmarried girl who has reached the age of eighteen must be sacrificed to the fire ghosts, otherwise the whole village will be burned by fire, and no one can escape the tragic fate.

And this year, this unfortunate thing will continue to happen, in order to let Xia Yutong escape this tragic fate, Xia's father and mother listened to Mrs. Zhang's words and married her to the eldest of the Wang family in a hurry. Who would have thought that the eldest young man of the Wang family looked like a human at first, but this marriage was only two or three months before the original form was revealed, and he went outside every day to make trouble with flowers and drunkenness.

No, in the fourth month, he was approached by the other party's husband because he enlarged the belly of someone else's wife. It's good not to look for it, but this one has an accident. Under a fight, the eldest young man of the Wang family actually beat the man to death by mistake. At this time, he panicked and was anxious to find someone to blame. But who is to blame for this sin? After thinking about it, I had to find Xia Yutong to top.

But how could Xia Yutong be willing? This trumped-up charge was on her head, and it was even more uncomfortable than letting her die directly. Most of the Wang family was about to wear out their mouths, threatening to serve together, but Xia Yutong was unmoved.

So he simply didn't do anything, invited the second elder of the Xia family to his home, and forced Xia Yutong to agree with the lives of the two of them.

The second elder of the Xia family inadvertently learned what happened, so he secretly drank pesticides, and died with a whimper. Xia Yutong didn't have time to cry and grab the ground for the death of the second elder, but he was framed by the son of the Wang family and the village chief, and deducted a hat of "having an affair with someone, killing people, and poisoning relatives".

Although I don't know how much benefit the Wang family secretly gave to the village chief's son, so that he actually arrested Xia Yutong to take the blame.

On the way, Xia Yutong finally took the opportunity to go to the toilet to escape their clutches, and inadvertently broke into this forest, but finally collapsed by the stream due to physical exhaustion, and was later rescued by Xinhai.

After listening to Xia Yutong's tragic experience, Xinhai was sad for a while, and he didn't know what words to use to comfort. The only thing he thought about now was to make Xia Yutong happy, but how to make her happy, he couldn't figure it out.

So he thought about it all night, and all night he thought about ways to make Xia Yutong happy.

He dug up all kinds of flower seedlings from elsewhere and planted them in the yard in front of Xia Yutong's house, and caught a hare from the mountains and put it in Xia Yutong's arms, letting it be coquettish in her arms.

For the first time, he polished the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, shaved off his beard, and recited the scriptures placed there from the bottom of his heart, praying for Xia Yutong's happiness and well-being.

The scent of flowers in the early morning always makes Xia Yutong open her eyes peacefully, the hare at her fingertips always habitually bites her nails, the curling smoke always rises from the kitchen stove on time, and a table of delicious vegetarian food nourishes her stomach.

The afternoon bell was like a nocturne at dusk, which entered Xia Yutong's ears one by one, making her silently close her eyes and feel the gift of nature. At this time, Xinhai will always ring the bell while smiling in the direction of Xia Yutong. As long as he saw her face safe, he couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of his heart.

It's summer in a blink of an eye, and Xia Yutong's eyes are gradually getting clearer. Xinhai came to the swamp alone, he was almost swallowed up by the swamp, and finally after getting covered in mud, he caught a big bag full of fireflies from the swamp, and invited Xia Yutong to the courtyard, looking at the little fluorescent light in the night, and flew into the sky like this.

"Master Xinhai, what is this? I saw a little bit of fluorescence, like stars covering the whole night. Xia Yutong asked excitedly.

"No matter how dark the night is, there will be light after all. Just like the light in front of your eyes, it will make you forget this originally dark Mo Ran in its own way. Xinhai looked at Xia Yutong's side face and said.

"Really? I also want to be like this fluorescence, piercing through the darkness and flying wantonly in this void. Xia Yutong looked at the fluorescence in front of him, and his eyes gradually showed light.

"You will, you will. Because you are this fluorescent originally, you have already lit up my empty life. Kokomi whispered.

"Master, what did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

"You don't really look like a monk. How can a monk be so good at talking, and you never call yourself a poor monk, nor do you call me a benefactor or anything? Xia Yutong smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"I ...... I ......" Xinhai just wanted to explain something, but a firefly suddenly flew to Xia Yutong's fingertips, she gently held up the firefly, and shouted happily: "Master Xinhai, look! It seems to have flown into my hands! It's flashing and flashing, and it's so pretty. ”

"yes. It's so pretty. Xinhai and Xia Yutong watched the firefly flickering on her fingertips, and the night breeze gently curled Xia Yutong's hair, wafting between Xinhai's nose with that faint fragrance.
