Time passed inadvertently between Li Ye's fingers, in Mu Mu's noisy voice, and in the mist of tea between Mr. and Bai Susu.

After Mu Mu celebrated her fourth birthday, in the early morning of the fifth day after the beginning of spring, she ushered in the most reluctant and difficult day in her life.

After breakfast, Bai Susu carefully wiped the soup stains on Mu Mu's face and washed her little hands.

Then he gently took her hand and walked into the cave.

Li Ye was a little confused, and looked at Mr. without speaking.

The gentleman quietly boiled water, warmed the kettle, washed the tea, and washed the cups.

Then he poured tea into the cup for each of them, took it and blew it gently, and tasted it shallowly.

Looking at Li Ye with a confused face, Mr. said slowly: "Mu Mu is going to be separated from her master today, she is going to the top of the mountain to cross the nine tribulations that belong to her, this is a dangerous thing, I want to accompany her, Mu Mu will teach you in the future." ”

"You have to take her to live and practice well, I will go here for at least one month, at most two or three months, if I don't come back by then, you can go down the mountain and go back to the city to wait for me, or you can continue to live on the mountain. There's still plenty of jerky in the cave, enough for you to eat until autumn. ”

Li Ye was stunned, he knew that Bai Susu was leaving, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, so unexpected.

Mr. put down the teacup and continued: "The practice progress arranged with you before, you must practice seriously, and at the same time, you must also urge Mu Mu to practice with you, so that it can also alleviate her parting pain." ”

"If you stay in the mountains and practice, you can go anywhere, but remember not to provoke those spiritual beasts, if you don't provoke them, they will not come to provoke humans, after all, the purpose of their cultivation is to transform into human beings, and there will be further results. ”

Li Ye nodded and replied: "Sir, don't worry, there are many small animals in this mountain, and in summer there are wild fruits, mushrooms and wild vegetables." Mu Mu and I work hard to support ourselves. ”

The gentleman looked at the sky outside the house, the sky after the beginning of spring was no longer snowing, and the tenacious spring flowers broke free from the spring cold, and there were flower buds gently shaking on the branches.

The early green Tsubaki tree also blooms with new green, desperately absorbing the breath of early spring.

"In a few days, maybe tomorrow Red Sleeves will come up the mountain, and it will be a trouble for her not to see me. Then you should persuade her not to come to the top of the mountain. First, she couldn't help me, and second, she had to distract me. ”

Li Ye understood Mr.'s painstaking efforts, carefully drank the tea in the cup, and said in his heart that he would not be able to drink the tea made by Mr. for some days, and he cherished the morning light of early spring in his heart.

The two masters guarded a pot of tea, relatively silent in the early spring morning.

The charcoal in the furnace burned quietly, like a moth to a fire, trying to prove that it had come.

There is the sound of sunlight shining on mountain streams, eaves, and treetops, and the sound of melting snow and ice dripping down the ice cubes......

When Mr. De boiled the tea in the pot to the fourth course, Bai Susu carried Mu Mu out of the cave and entered the house.

The gentleman poured hot water into the cups of the two masters, warmed the cups, and then added steaming tea.

Mu Mu cried and her eyes were red, holding Bai Susu's neck and refusing to let go, Bai Susu sat opposite Mr., gently patted Mu Mu's back, and comforted her softly.

Mr. saw it in his eyes but there was nothing he could do, and he didn't know how to face Mu Mu at this moment.

Li Ye picked up Mr. and poured tea for Mu Mu, walked behind Bai Susu, took Mu Mu's little hand with one hand and said, "Sister, come and drink the tea made by Mr." Master Bai has Mr. to accompany you, my brother is here to accompany you, and your red-sleeved sister will come up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and she can also accompany you. ”

Mu Mu, who was crying and red-eyed, was really a little thirsty, so he took Li Ye's cup, took a sip, drank all the tea in the cup, and then hugged Bai Susu tightly.

Bai Susu's soft intestines are full of knots, thinking about what words to use to comfort Mu Mu in his arms, although the two are masters and apprentices, they are more affectionate than mother and daughter. Mu Mu had no memory of her mother after she was born, and came to Bai Susu's side less than half a year old, although she called Bai Susu is the master, in fact, in her heart, the master is her mother.

Now she wants to be separated from her mother, and she doesn't know when and where she can get together, her small heart can't bear it, and she can't leave her master, so she can only keep crying.

Parting in life, sad and sad parting.

After a while, Bai Susu said softly: "Mu Mu, don't cry, you and your brother live well in this world, practice seriously, and strive to cultivate to the realm of master earlier, and then you will come to find the master together." ”

"The master will go and find a place for you first, and when you come, you will have a place to live, okay? In the future, there will be a gentleman who will continue to accompany you, and it is not difficult to find the master somewhere with the ability of the gentleman. ”

Hearing this, Mr. nodded, looked at Mu Mu in Bai Susu's arms and said, "Your master is right, you and Ye'er are going to go there to practice and live in the end, your master just took the first step, and there is no way to do it." ”

Bai Susu picked up the teacup on the table, she also knew that this might be the last tea in this world, drank it gently, took a sip, and drank the cup of tea seriously.

The gentleman glanced at the sky and said gently, "Ye'er, you and Mu Mu stay in the house, and Master Bai and I will go first." The mountains are chaotic, remember not to let Mu Mu leave your sight alone in the future. ”

Bai Susu took out a silk scarf to wipe away Mu Mu's tears, took out a wooden comb again, gently untied Mu Mu's braids, and re-combed it for her.

While saying to Li Ye: "Ye'er, come and take a closer look, and the task of braiding Mu Mu's hair will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Li Ye stood behind Bai Susu, staring carefully, not letting go of every detail.

It's just that at this moment, his eyes are as red as Mu Mu, and there are crystal tears about to fall.

After spending a moment of planting, Bai Susu braided Mu Mu's braids and tied a two-year bow with a silk scarf at the end of the braid.

sighed softly, put away the silk scarf and comb, stood up with Mu Mu in his arms, and walked outside the house.

The gentleman also stood up and patted Li Ye lightly on the shoulder, what he wanted to say had already been explained, and silence was better than sound at the moment.

The group went out of the house and walked out into the woods.

When he got out of the woods, Mr. hugged Mu Mu who Bai Susu was holding, took her little hand and walked to the side of the road, whispered in her ear, pointed to the woods and huts, and gestured from time to time to ask Mu Mu to follow along.

After another quarter of an hour, after Mu Mu nodded his head to Mr., Mr. took Mu Mu's little hand and walked to Li Ye's side.

said with a serious face: "Ye'er, no matter what wind and rain there are in the years to come, you have to promise me not to let Mu Mu be wronged and not to leave her, can you do it?"

Li Ye nodded heavily, it was the first time he had seen Mr. speak to him in such a serious tone.

"Sir, don't worry, Mu Mu will be my life in the future, and I will never let her be hurt. After speaking, she took Mu Mu's little hand, lowered her body, and carried Mu Mu on her back, she was afraid that Mu Mu would hold Bai Susu and not let her go.

Mr. Bai Susu nodded with satisfaction, and Li Ye, who was affectionate, was naturally relieved.

Mr. no longer looked at the two of them, waved his hand, and flew towards the mountain road of the Tianshan Mountains in great strides, at this moment Mr. just wanted to leave early, naturally let go of his kung fu, instead of walking step by step as usual.

Bai Susu walked over, hugged Mu Mu, kissed her lightly on her little face, twisted her head, and ran away with her husband's back.

In a moment, the two of them disappeared from the mountain road.

Until this moment, Mu Mu, who was on Li Ye's back, finally cried out, and the heart-rending cry echoed in the empty mountains, just like the bloody cuckoo......

Mu Mu, who had just passed her fourth birthday, was separated from her closest relatives for the first time.

Parting in life, sad and sad parting.

Li Ye sighed softly, gently pulled Mu Mu on his back to his body with both hands, turned around, and walked towards the woods.

Step by step, slowly walking back, murmuring softly......

Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried,

Helplessly, the cold rain came in the morning and the wind came in the evening.

Rouge tears, drunk with each other,

How heavy is it?

Since people grow and hate water......

This was repeated many times, and when she carried Mu Mu into the house, Mu Mu on her back had already cried so much that she fell asleep, lying on his back without making a sound, snoring softly......

Li Ye was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Mu to fall asleep, and thought to himself, at least now he didn't have to coax Mu Mu, who couldn't be coaxed at the moment.

Gently put Mu Mu on the recliner, pulled over the wild skin and carefully covered her, took out her own hand towel, and carefully wiped the tears on her face.

Thinking that from today onwards, I will take on the responsibility of being a master and a mother for Bai Susu, and I unconsciously my mind is a little heavier, looking at the strong spring outside the house, I hesitated......

Thinking about whether Li Hongsleeve under the mountain was walking up the mountain at the moment, he didn't know how to persuade her not to go to Mr. At this moment, he is also a little soft.

Distraught, he took a pillar of incense from the wooden frame and lit it on the stove. He took a futon and placed it under the eaves outside the house, sat down on his knees, turned his heart to the sky, put flowers in his right hand, and began to chant scriptures in his mouth.

The old monk once said: The world is full of troubles, but drink tea and meditate. Meditation is naturally chanting sutras, and there are many troubles in the world, but if you look for the Dharma, you will eventually have a place to go.

......

In the past long eons, such as compassion, send a wish for the sand of the Ganges River, and reach all sentient beings. In the life to come, if there are men and women, those who do not do good, those who do evil, and even those who do not believe in cause and effect,...... He is often an emperor for hundreds of thousands of eons, and he can remember the cause and effect of fate.

As the scriptures were gently chanted, there was a faint Buddha light around him, wrapping his thin body, and the golden light became thicker and thicker, spreading around the wooden house, towards the Mu Mu wrapped in the house.

After a while, Mu Mu in her sleep was surrounded by Buddha light, like a pair of mother's hands, gently caressing her body.

Be at ease, and seek it from the Dharma.
