We stayed in Maocheng for two days.

During the day, I walked around the city, entered the teahouse, went to the theater, and went to learn about the empty temple.

The temple is full of incense, and the pilgrims kneel down and pray in front of the Buddha. Those who seek wealth, those who seek peace, those who seek a future......

There are also those who seek marriage.

Wu Zhen asked for a sign for himself, which was a sign on the root, and there was a sentence on it, which read: Come back and smell the plum blossoms, spring is already very good on the branches.

I laughed at her, "Huh? Is this a marriage lot? Congratulations, it's a sign on the branch. ”

Wu Zhen's face was red, he ignored me, and went to find someone to solve the sign.

Wen Fei came from afar, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law couldn't stop peeking at him all the way.

"Where's Miss Wuzhen?"

I pointed to the group of people at the unsigning: "Go unsign." ”

He smiled and asked, "Didn't you ask for a stick?" ”

I shook my head.

"Ask for one."

I still shook my head: "My father has a good friend, who is an abbot, and the temple is on the top of the mountain, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't climb it, and the incense in the temple is not full." I once asked him why this temple was built on the top of a hill and there was little incense, didn't the Buddha feel angry because he was coldly treated? ”

He asked, "So what does the abbot say?" ”

"He said that the Buddha is in his heart, and if he wants to ask the Buddha, he actually has the answer in his heart."

It seems a bit deviant for an abbot to say this.

But I think he's right, that's it.

Wen Fei was also silent.

"What you want, you can only strive to get it, and after seeking the Buddha, maybe you will have more confidence in your heart. In the final analysis, a businessman seeks wealth, and after asking for money, he still has to work hard to make a living. Scholars seek a future, and after they beg, they have to study hard. I said, "Pray to the Buddha." In fact, it is also self-seeking. ”

There is a big ding in the courtyard, the fragrance is lingering, and the people who come and go are stained with this kind of fireworks.

"I have something to ask for, too." He looked into the distance and whispered: "Like Tu You, my mother can't enter the house, I was bullied when I was a child, and I was ignored when I grew up. No matter how good my sword practice is, no matter how much I read......"

I felt depressed in my heart, as if I was being tugged, and a fine pain came up.

for him. Distressed.

"The Wen family is a family, the family rules are strict, and there is a hidden sword building at home. With my background, I can never take a step forward. But my brothers, even though they were sixteen years old and could get in, were still mediocre and incompetent. Those profound swordsmanship and sword techniques they won't be able to comprehend in a few decades. I was kept out of the door by house rules...... I want to stand in front of people and say that I am also a child of the Wen family. I want to step into the Tibetan Sword Tower, they can only go around the first and second floors, I want to go straight up to the eighth floor, and learn the deepest sword technique left by the ancestor of the Wen family-" His voice gradually rose, his face revealed a thin red, and he suddenly paused again. whispered: "I want my mother to no longer have to bend her knees to the masters of the Wen family, and no longer call herself a slave and a maid......"

He turned his face away, but I still saw it. His eyes were red.

When I first saw him, he was so elegant and perfect, and now he looks like a wronged stubborn child, strange, mixed together.

Gradually plumped up, the image of him in my heart. From a beautiful painting, it gradually changed. People float up from the painting. There is weakness, there is **, there is persistence, there is sincerity...... It feels very real.

"I've never said these things to anyone......" He came back to his senses, and the side that had always been steady and calm had not yet had time to be put on, and the stubborn and weak side had not had time to retract, so it seemed a little cramped, even a little cowardly.

Good...... It's so cute.

My heart was sour, and there was a hint of sweetness.

No one has ever made me feel like this.

I looked back at the Buddha statue in the main hall, and the Buddha looked at all beings with compassion on his face.

I've never asked for a Buddha because I'm ...... I have never encountered anything and need to ask the Buddha to help me achieve it.

There is no anxiety, and there is no longing. I just want to practice illusion better and make my father happy.

But now I have a vague thought, which is getting stronger and stronger.

I want him to be happy.

I hope he can live happily, I hope he can fulfill his wish, and have an identity with dignity.

The more perfect he is on the outside, the more uneasy he is on the inside.

Growing up in that environment, he put a shell on himself.

Maybe the stubborn and fragile child in front of him is the real him.

Wu Zhen came back with the sign, and there was a joy in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, it seemed that the sign was well solved. In fact, the person who unsigns the sign eats this bowl of rice, and he must say that it is good, even if it is signed, it will give people a good solution, and a good sign is the icing on the cake.

I asked her, "What did Mr. Interpreter say?" ”

She glared at me, but there was more shame in her eyes than shame, and she kept her mouth shut. After a while, I finally couldn't help it, and whispered: "Mr. Unsign said that it was a good sign...... Say that there is no need to be anxious, cause and effect are in front of you......" She hurriedly added: "I am not in a hurry. ”

"Yes, you are naturally not in a hurry, you are still young, then Mr. Unsign is on the matter, not that you are anxious."

"Wu Ning, you ......" she raised her eyebrows: "I tore your mouth." ”

She lunged at me, and I smiled and dodged, circling around the stone monument in front of the temple gate.

It's just that both of them are a little absent-minded.

If I hadn't had another person in my heart, I would have found that Wu Zhen's smile and quarrel were a bit of a desire to cover up. is good, why do you suddenly want to ask for a marriage sign? And why is the smile so different after asking for a visa?

And Wu Zhen is the same. With her usual closeness and tacit understanding with me, she should be able to find that my mood is also different from usual.

Xu is sun is blazing, and his face is slightly hot.

"Shall we go boating?"

"You haven't been on the boat enough these days, have you?"

"No, look there...... There are those who sing. ”

I've seen it earlier, isn't that just a flower boat? I've never sat there, but I've always known each other.

"No, we don't have enough money, do you think it's so cheap to listen to other people's songs? Thirty or fifty dollars to be discarded? ”

Wu Zhen thought about it for a while, and also figured it out, and was a little depressed: "We can't change money to spend it." ”

"Yes."

Wen Fei glanced at the lake and said, "It's rare to come once, Maocheng's song is very famous, go and listen to it, I still have something left here." ”

Wu Zhen hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, I just said it casually." Who wants to listen to them sing, Wu Ning sings better than them. ”

She didn't say it in passing, but Wen Fei asked seriously: "Really?" ”

"Where, actually, I'll sing two tunes."

We found a small boat and negotiated a price. The boatman was old, and his hair was half white, but he was very funny, and when he saw that we were going to the lake, he smiled and said, "Do you want to listen to the music?" I'll tell you a good idea, it doesn't cost anything. The place under the shade of the willows on the island in the middle of the lake is very large, and if you find a nest at will, you can hear the people on the boat singing, and others will pay us to listen to the music. ”

We couldn't help laughing, and Wu Zhen said, "It seems that your old man often brings people to listen to white music." ”

"Hey......

The boat was indeed moored in the shade of the willows, and the sound of the sheng pipes and bamboos could be heard clearly. There are a lot of big boats moored on the side of the island, there are red and bright lanterns hanging on the top, the small lanterns lined up under the big lanterns have their own characteristics, there are fish lanterns, lotus lanterns, horse lanterns, hexagonal palace lanterns, and different lamps have a flower name written on them. The boatman pointed to the lanterns and said, "You see, those are all famous girls, and if any of them is lit, they will take off the lanterns and hang them up." (To be continued)
