Chapter 66: Death

I've been here for two whole months. www.biquge.info In the past two months, every morning when I get up, I will come to the Buddha statue and put a stick of incense, and every night before going to bed, I will come back to put a stick of incense. I don't know what kind of Buddha this statue is in front of me. But every time I put on the incense, I would silently recite that person's name.

I don't believe in Buddhism. According to my former dorm roommates in college, I had no faith. If I had to have a faith, it would probably be myself. But now that I think about it, maybe faith has become her unconsciously.

The first day of the third month. It's already the first day of the new year. Oh, New Year's Day.

It was a thick layer of snow outside. However, the snow in the courtyard was swept away by the young monk named Shikong.

As usual, I got up and went to the Buddha statue, respectfully lit three sticks of incense, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of me. In the past two months, I have filled the incense burner with incense stalks. Even already uplifted very high.

Fat people are used to getting up early. After breakfast, we leaned under the Bodhi tree, which no longer had a leaf, and looked through the temple gate at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and sometimes at the stone steps we walked on when we came up. I know the fat man is waiting for Lan to bring Sister Qing back. And now it seems that the relationship between the fat man and Sister Qing is already very clear. I don't have to ask any more questions. So I also had a new tacit understanding with the fat man.

He doesn't ask me and Lan, I don't ask him and Sister Qing. And this tacit understanding only lasted until the second morning of the third month.

That morning I went to incense as usual. But suddenly I heard a scream from the fat man who seemed to be using all his strength.

I rushed out. When he saw Lan, he was standing inside the temple gate. The goose feathers and snow were on her head, and a thick layer had accumulated on her shoulders.

Lan's gaze passed over the fat man and the three monks in the courtyard and landed directly on me. I stood at the door of the main hall in a daze, just staring at Lan. Lan's expression was still calm. It's like nothing has happened in those two months.

He Lan looked at each other for nearly a minute, and the fat man's heart-rending screams once again pulled me back to reality.

The fat man knelt in the snow. In front of him was a human head.

"When I found her, she was ravaged to the point of inadequacy." Lan said. The tone was flat, and there was no other expression on his face. Just looked down at the fat man. "She was covered in wounds, and there was no way she could come out of it. She said she was sorry for you and begged me to take her head out so that she could see you one last time. ”

I was amazed that Lan was able to say these words so calmly.

The fat man knelt in the snow holding Sister Qing's head. I saw that Sister Qing did not close her eyes, but looked ahead with a gaze that seemed to be looking at her sweetheart. Even though my pupils were completely dilated, I could still see a hint of tenderness in those eyes.

I want to pick up the fat man. But when I walked up to him and was about to bend down, I hesitated again when I looked at his expression.

It was the first time I saw a fat man cry.

The fat man did not show an overreaction. Instead, he knelt in the snow holding Sister Qing's head, staring at Sister Qing's eyes and watching like this. Tears flowed out of his eyes and quickly solidified on his face into two shallow lines of ice slag. A few of us just stood in the courtyard. No one spoke. Even the fat man didn't make a whimpering sound. My body seemed to be isolated from the cold of the outside world at this time.

I don't know how long I stood there. Until the snowflakes covered the yard again, and each of us had snow on our bodies and faces. The fat man knelt on the ground, and the snow buried him almost completely. He was still holding Sister Qing motionless, just looking at it.

"I did my best." Lan said suddenly.

It was the first time I had seen Lan speak in a guilty tone.

The fat man's body moved slightly, and his gaze still did not leave Sister Qing's eyes.

"Amitabha, delusion is a curse." The old monk recited the Dharma name, then turned and walked towards the house.

When the little monk saw it, it was estimated that it was also cold. He followed him into the house. The middle-aged monk wanted to help the fat man, but his hand was frozen in the air for a long time and he took it back. He sighed and went back to the house and brought a blanket to cover the fat man.

"She said if it was possible," said the fat man, "she could give up the whole Lanmen and come with me." The fat man reached out to wipe the snow off Sister Qing's hair, and wiped the ice flowers on Sister Qing's eyelashes with his thumb. Now it's better. She gave up the whole Lanmen, but what about the promise behind her? ”

"I killed her." Lan said suddenly.

I was stunned for a moment, and reflexively looked at the fat man. At the same time, a decision was made almost without thinking about it.

If the fat man dares to touch Lan, then I will definitely fight with the fat man.

The fat man looked up at Lan almost immediately. Those bloodthirsty eyes, I don't think I'll ever forget them in my life.

"That's what she begged me for." Lan said lightly. "After She Was Ravaged......"

"Say no more!" The fat man suddenly shouted. I was startled, and reflexively wanted to stand in front of Lan to block the fat man. Unexpectedly, because he had been standing for too long, the whole person was frozen.

The fat man slowly lowered his head and looked at Sister Qing in his hand: "I don't blame you." Although she was in Lanmen, it was also a forced choice. I know, she never did anything to be sorry for me. When we first met......" said the fat man and laughed. It seems to be thinking of some happy old days.

"Whew-" The fat man let out a long breath of white air. didn't look up: "Sister Lan, fat man, I'm begging you for something." ”

Lan didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"If possible, can you help me bring her back. No...... I don't want her to be left there alone. I want her to be complete. ”

"Got it." Lan said. After finishing speaking, Lan's whole person was soft. As soon as I saw it, I gritted my teeth and raised my hands to catch her.

Lan just fainted in my arms.

The three monks helped Lan to the guest room and lay down, and then helped me back. In the end, it was good to say that the fat man didn't plan to come back. I'm sad to look at the fat man like this. In the end, he gave the middle-aged monk an idea, until the monk recited the Dharma name, walked behind the fat man and knocked him unconscious. That's how I was able to bring him back. As for Sister Qing's head, the middle-aged monk made a small snow tomb under the Bodhi tree. put Sister Qing in for the time being.

Lan Ke hadn't eaten for a few days, and it was possible that his clothes were thin and cold. Anyway, I won't be able to wake up for a while.

I sat at the entrance of the main hall, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance through the temple gate, and exhaled softly. 】

The snow is thousands of miles, and you can return slowly. Unexpectedly, only one person returned. (To be continued.) )
