Chapter 18: The Punishment of the Buddha Hall (3)

She looked up and saw only the inexhaustible candle flames, dancing wildly in the darkness, as if they never stopped, never tired. She looked out again, but the door was still closed, and no one came in, and suddenly she felt as if she was being confined to herself, only accompanied by candles, forever separated from the sun, moon and stars outside.

Gradually, she felt cold and hungry, her body was tired and sore, she was worried about Snow Lotus, and inexplicably remembered the voice of the person in her memory, and silently endured the physical and mental "hanging", which was indescribable.

Quietly, when the candle flame fluttered, the tears that flowed out together condensed into pieces of blood. This gradual blend of blood and tears records the passage of time.

Slowly, she found that holding her arms to keep warm at this time was useless to her, and only made her feel more lonely.

However, she found that only by remembering the person's shallow words and burning smile could the warm current flow through every inch of her skin, forget the existence of the scars, and relieve the loneliness and fatigue of body and mind.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden squeak outside the door, and she turned her head.

The moment the door was opened, the sunlight shone through the crack, it was so dazzling that it seemed to pierce her, and she had to squint through the filament of light to faintly see a figure who she didn't know who it was.

When the man walked in, he said, "Mingzhong, you have suffered! ”

The moment she heard the voice, she knew that it was Lin Jingmao, and in an instant, her heart was warm, and tears couldn't help but overflow, rolling in her eyes.

Why does he almost always show up when she's in trouble? Why would he save her from her predicament? Why would he be nice to her? Does he like her? She wasn't sure. However, she was always grateful to him.

"Cousin, why are you here?" She said with a little excitement.

"I wanted to come and see you, so I came!" Lin Jingmao said.

"Isn't there someone outside the door! How can you get in? She asked.

"I fainted them and came in!" He replied.

Although she had a thousand words in her heart, she was too nervous to say them at the moment. She had no choice but to say, "Oh! ”

Ming Zhong asked, "Cousin, how long has it been?" ”

He replied, "It's been two days." ”

Suddenly, he walked up to her, sat down beside her, looked at her seriously, and stroked her cheek with his hand, and said, "Ming Zhong, you have lost weight!" With that, he put his hand down.

Ming Zhong's heart moved slightly, his face turned pale, and he tried to squeeze out a smile to him: "What's the matter, it's just your illusion!" ”

The pale face, lining her smile is so scorching, like a cold plum blooming in the wind and snow smiling, this beauty, and whose heart is shaking?

After that, he took out a bag of things from it, handed it to her, and smiled: "I haven't eaten for so many days, I'm hungry!" Come and eat it while it's hot! ”

Ming Zhong took the bag of some warm things, and when he opened it, it was a fragrant osmanthus cake.

He continued, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I'll bring you my favorite!" Does it suit your appetite? If it doesn't suit you, I'll get something else!" ”

When Ming Zhong heard this, he remembered the sentence that he likes to eat osmanthus cakes, and at the same time, he felt the temperature in his hands pass to his heart little by little, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion overflowing in his heart.

She smiled at him and said, "No thanks, cousin! I love it! With that, she began to eat.

She was so hungry that she ate a little fast, and there were crumbs left at the corners of her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Jingmao smiled, touched the corner of her lips with his hand, wiped off the debris, and said, "Look at you, you're hungry!" No one is competing with you for food, and you eat so fast! Eat slowly! But don't choke! ”

Hearing this, she looked up and looked at him stunned.

He smiled: "Why don't you eat it yet?" Look what I do! ”

She bowed her head, did not answer, and did not eat. After that, she raised her eyes, looked at him firmly, stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, and said, "Cousin, you can eat it too!" ”

He ate the osmanthus cake and said with a smile: "Do you think that you are the only one who is eating, and you seem a little embarrassed, so let me eat with you!" ”

She blushed and said, "Cousin, no, I heard you say that you like to eat osmanthus cakes, so I invited you to eat them together!" ”

He was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Ming Zhong, you have a heart!" ”

Ming Zhong was eating, and suddenly remembered Snow Lotus, so he put down the things in his hand, and then grabbed his arms, and said excitedly: "Cousin, how is Snow Lotus?" ”

He replied, "She's been hit dozens of times, and now she should be lying in bed!" ”

Hearing this, she lowered her eyes and pleaded, "Please, cousin! Be sure to help me see her later! Also, if you can, can you find a doctor to save her? ”

His tone was gentle, like a spring breeze: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

When she heard this, she furrowed her brows and said, "Thank you! Cousin, you've always helped me so much, I don't even know how to repay you! ”

He smiled: "I'm your cousin, why be so polite to me!" I help my cousin, shouldn't I be! ”

When she heard this, her heart was filled with warmth, and she smiled: "Cousin, you are the best for me!" However, the more you help me, the more guilty I feel because I haven't helped you! So ......" the latter words, she couldn't go on.

At this time, he said, "So, you want to help me?" ”

Help? How can she help? And what can she do to help? He's so good, he probably doesn't need her help!

So, she didn't say anything, embarrassed to answer.

"With you, I'm comfortable and at ease, and you give me these feelings," he said. So, for me, being by my side is also a kind of spiritual help! ”

Hearing this, she was a little surprised, turned around and whispered, "If that's the case, you will help me even more!" ”

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"Ah, nothing!" She looked back and smiled awkwardly.

She continued: "Honestly, I owe you so much and don't know how to pay it back? ”

Hearing this, his face turned cold and he lowered his head.

Repay? Is she going to settle accounts with herself, and then she doesn't owe each other, and she doesn't owe anything to each other? Oh, does she think she can pay off this origin account?

Seeing that his face was not good, he looked at him suspiciously. However, her curiosity was too heavy, so she asked nervously: "Cousin, what do you want?" ”

He smiled at her and said, "Nothing! ”

At this time, he stood up and said, "It's not too early, I should go too!" Stay one more day, and you'll be able to go out, you wait, and I'll pick you up when the time comes! Take care! After saying that, he stopped looking at her, and walked without leaving a trace, like a falling flower without a trace.

She picked up the osmanthus cake, which was no longer warm, looked out of the door in a daze, and said, "Why did it get cold so quickly?" ”
