Out of the Qiankun axis, I closed my eyes and searched for the child's breath, only to see him squatting under a tree in the yard, concentrating, I don't know what he was doing, he was busy working. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, walked to the yard, walked over and looked, it turned out that there was an ant hole under the root of the tree, a group of ants were busy in and out, Nian Ci took a small straw stick along the entrance and exit of the ant hole and inserted it, pounding left and right, very busy. I watched behind him for a long time, and he didn't notice.

"What to do?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yikes!" The child suddenly heard someone talking behind him, his hands shook in fright, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and when he turned his head to see that it was me, he exclaimed, "Oh, uncle, why are you walking silently?" Scared the hell out of me!"

"It's because I'm walking silently, it's because you're too focused." I stroked his head and comforted, "Okay, touch your head, it's not scared."

He pursed his mouth and said, "Isn't it frightening to touch the hair?"

Oh, this kid, do you still know how to find a problem? I reached out and touched the back of his head and laughed, "Do you have hair?" Just touch the hair? Say, what are you doing here?"

The child's face became fast, and he was not happy just now, but when he heard my question, he immediately raised his little face and said to me with a smile: "Uncle, I want to see how deep their holes are."

I pinched his face and pretended to teach, "Amitabha, good, good, didn't your master tell you that all beings are equal?"

Nian Ci looked at me with a confused expression, "Uncle Shi, I didn't understand what you said. ”

I crouched down, stroked his head, pointed to the ants on the ground and said, "Look if they are very small, not as big as your fingertips, you are a very big existence relative to them, like a behemoth, if you stick this little stick into it, the roads and houses they have worked so hard to build will be damaged by you, and you will have to spend a lot of effort to rebuild them; What's more, your sticks may even injure them, some of them unlucky, or even kill them.

Like us, they also have relatives and friends, and they also have feelings, feelings, pain, and sadness. If something happens to them, their relatives and friends will be unhappy. ”

Nian Ci pursed her small mouth, blinked her eyes, and asked, "Uncle Shi, you are not it, how do you know that they will be unhappy?"

"Compare your heart to your heart! Just like now, if a giant were standing in front of you, and you were the size of his toes, he could kill you with one finger. If he takes a stick and pokes the house you have worked so hard to build, he doesn't have any effort, just pokes the stick on the ground, but you have no place to live, think about it, will you be happy?"

Nian Ci rolled her eyes, looked at me, pulled the little stick out of the ant hole, threw it to the side, and said, "Uncle Shi, I know."

"Know what?"

"Hmm......" Nian Ci blinked her eyes wide, unable to speak.

I smiled and touched his head and said, "Monks should always have compassion so that they can transform themselves, understand?" ”

Nian Ci twisted her little brow into a knot, tilted her head and thought about it for a while before she said, "Well, I understand." I just wanted to praise him for being smart, but I didn't expect to be put on a high hat immediately afterward, "Uncle Shi, you are really knowledgeable!"

"Ha, this kid is very good at talking, and has the demeanor of Uncle Nai." I gave him a fight on the chin.

Nian Ci didn't understand, puffed out her cheeks and pouted her little mouth, stared at me with big eyes, and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”

"You mean you're like me, boy!"

I came again on his bald head, hit him back down, used his hands to protect his head, and said with a deflated mouth: "Uncle, why do you love to do it so much, you don't look like a master at all!" Hum! ”

"Heh, you little thing, you dare to teach your uncle a lesson? See how I clean you up! ”

I reached out and pinched his armpit and lifted him up, and as soon as I dropped him, I rolled him sideways on my lap, and held him down on the back, just a squeak, Nianci was squeaked so that her hands and feet danced, she kept struggling, and she was laughing so much, if it weren't for the fear of making him laugh and turn his back on his back, I would have been squeaking him like this.

Nian Ci, who had escaped the catastrophe, gasped with a crimson face and said, "Uncle Shi, you are called a monkey, right?" ”

It's okay, I know it's good.

I poked him in front of me, pinched his face almost like a frog, and nodded in a long voice, "That's right." ”

"Uncle Shi, I'm not a toy, how do I think you're a child better than me?" Nian Ci stared at me vaguely and said, looking a little helpless.

I was stunned, no, it seemed that when I was playing with him, the lost innocence inadvertently returned.

I smiled awkwardly, "I think I'm small, so let's talk about something about adults." ”

Nianci's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested, and immediately hugged my arm and asked, "What is the matter of adults?" Say it! ”

I looked at him and said, "Well, seven or eight years old is considered an adult, so I'll tell you?" ”

He nodded busily.

I sat down against the tree, pointed to the ground next to me, and said to him, "Come, sit, let's talk about adults."

He sat cross-legged beside me with two small arms at first glance, looking at me with his cheeks crossed, full of anticipation.

I hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to start with the periphery first and not be too obtrusive. So, he coughed dryly and asked, "What do you think of your master to you?"

He blinked his big black eyes, nodded heavily, and said without hesitation, "Okay."

"What's a good way?"

"He loves me and is kind to me."

"Did you know that children have fathers?"

He nodded, "I know, Master has told me a lot of stories, and the children in the stories have fathers. ”

"Do you know who your dad is?"

"Yes."

I was startled by him and stuttered, "Yes, who is it?"

"My dad is Master, and Master is my dad."

The surprise was so great that I almost didn't jump, "How do you know?"

Nian Ci was quite calm, nodded disapprovingly, and said, "Guess."

I was a little incredulous, "Guess? How did you guess?"

Nian Ci crossed his legs, shook his body and said, "Master said that only parents have the most selfless love for their children in the world, although he didn't say it, but when he said this, he looked at me strangely, and I thought that this is his love for me, so I guessed it."

It's so simple!

I looked at him, a little crying and laughing, but I still thought about how to tell him in my heart for a long time, for fear of accidentally hurting this child, it turned out that people would have cleared everything a long time ago.
