Chapter 159: Goodbye Xie Yu
The room is simply furnished, with a wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, two wooden chairs, a wooden table with a small ceramic vase and a folding mirror on it, and a stack of rice paper, a book and a fountain pen neatly placed in the corner.
The vase was filled with fresh wildflowers and red plums that had been budding, the petals with the frost that had completely melted, and a unique fragrance, which the owner had just picked in the morning, and it was very delicate.
The heating worked well and after a while there was a white mist on both windows. Tao You's cheeks were slightly red and her chest was stuffy, and she noticed that she was a little lacking in oxygen, so she got up and turned off the heater and pushed open the window on one side to ventilate.
The house is facing north-south, and there is a narrow dirt path outside the window, and beyond that, there is a hillside full of bamboo trees, even in the depths of winter, there is not half a cent of greenery.
To the west, there is a large vegetable garden, with a greenhouse, which is full of all kinds of vegetables, and there are a lot of frosty wildflowers on the side, and a few plum blossoms that have grown for many years, and now they are also full of buds, and they are well cared for. Tao You looked back at the flowers on the table, they should have been picked over there.
To the east, a red sun rises in the mist, reflecting half of the sky, Tianjingfeng shines brightly with the rising sun, the trees on the surrounding hills are gradually visible, and the birds chirp everywhere.
The orange-red light was filtered by the layers of branches and leaves, and a little red light fell just right on the sandalwood-colored window, and the shadows of the trees on the ground continued to sway, scattering the beams of light of different thicknesses and shapes under the shade of the trees, and then regrouping.
The cold wind blew, blowing away the stuffiness of a house, Tao You felt the slightest coolness, stepped on his feet to look, the clouds and mist surrounding the air had dissipated most of the time, and he could vaguely see the foot of the mountain in the distance, densely packed houses, and the whole reed city woke up slowly with the rising sun.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air that was not polluted by various gases, and her heart was so relaxed that even the north wind blowing on her face seemed to soften a little.
There was a jagged sound of footsteps outside the house, and after a few minutes, "dang, dang, dangΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The rhythmic sound of wooden fish came from the Buddhist hall, mixed with the sound of neat chanting.
Tao You opened the door, and the sound became clearer.
- It should be time for the masters to finish their morning meditation and start their morning class.
Tao You ajar the door, moved a chair and sat by the window, resting one hand on the edge of the window, pillowing his head, and in front of him was a spectacular sunrise that is rare in winter; Behind him is the sound of muttering and chanting that can empty the brain, remove irritability, and calm the whole person.
Maybe it was because he got up too early in the morning, or because the environment was too hypnotic, Tao You's upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and he fell asleep against the window edge unconsciously.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Donor! Donor!" The little master who brought Tao You in knocked on the half-open door, and didn't hear a sound inside, so he pushed the door open, and saw Tao You leaning on the window edge and falling asleep, just raised his foot and wanted to go in to call her, but when he thought of the master's teachings, he withdrew his raised foot, and did not rush into the house, but could only shout loudly at the door, "Small! Give! Host! Awake! Wake up!"
Tao You was asleep when she heard a faint voice calling in her ear.
- Donor? Call me? When did I get that name? My surname is Tao, not Shi.
Tao You in the dream didn't find the source of the sound, so he didn't care about it anymore and continued to do what he was doing.
The little master at the door scratched his head anxiously, kept walking back and forth, and tried to scream a few times, but Tao You still didn't respond, "Why did you sleep so soundly." Seeing that everyone else had gone to breakfast, he became more and more anxious, and if he was late, he would have nothing to eat, he would not be full of food, and he would not be energetic all day. If you don't have the spirit, you can't complete today's task well, and if you can't complete the task, you will be scolded by the master, and you will be punished for copying after scolding, and you will be copied after copyingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's not dawn yet, and I'm going to sweep the floor at the door again! There is simply no time to sleep!
Thinking like this, the little master became more and more distressed, wrinkled his face, and the intensity of scratching his scalp increased unconsciously, until his scalp was slightly hot and he did not stop moving.
"Small~! Give~! Lord~!" He was angry and continued to shout hard, "Get up~! Come~! It's a ~! If you don't get up again, you won't have anything to eat! Ahem, ahem." shouted too hard, the last word broke directly, and he was also choked by his own saliva and coughed vigorously.
- Eat?!
Tao You woke up from the dream, she heard that there was no food to eat, her brain instantly cleared, she looked around, remembered that she was not at home now, cut her hair, and said to the little master at the door apologetically, "I'm sorry, I slept too soundly and didn't hear you call me."
The little master shook his hand and pointed to the other side, "You haven't eaten yet, you have a vegetarian meal today, do you want to eat something?"
Tao You touched his empty stomach, closed the window, put the chair away, and followed the little master to the dining hall.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The little master led the way in front, and the wind was blowing under his feet, "If you go late, there will be no good food."
The little master looks young, but his height is much taller than Tao You, she trotted all the way behind without any complaints, after all, it was because of herself that the little master didn't catch up with the meal.
On the way, passing through the Buddhist hall, it was quiet, and the air emitted the faint smell of smoke wafting from burning incense.
The breakfast in Jingling Temple is fifteen yuan per person, which is not expensive, but the dishes are very rich. Tao You held the plate and walked slowly with the team.
"Little donor, you can take a little less of each, and come back to get it after eating, and it is better not to have food left on the plate at the end, and now advocate saving food." The little master walked behind Tao You and told her in a low and serious voice.
"This fried noodles with cabbage and cowpea cake are my brother's specialty, you can try them. I also helped pick this cabbage in the yard this morning, and it was very fresh." As he spoke, he slipped some more into his plate.
"Zhixin, take so much again, eat for a while and doze off, and be punished again." A master wearing an apron came out from behind, holding a freshly cooked white steamed bun in his hand.
- It turns out that his name is Zhixin.
Zhixin smiled and touched his head, "Senior brother, your fried noodles are delicious, you don't get tired of eating as much as you want, you finally ate it once, you must eat more." My concentration has improved a lot now, and I won't fall asleep after chanting for a while!"
At this time, there are many pilgrims who come to pray for blessings in the dining hall, wearing plain clothes and backpacks like Tao You, sitting in the dining hall and eating breakfast quietly.
"Xiaoyu?" A female voice appeared behind Tao You.
Tao You wiped his mouth and looked back, "Sister Xie Yu!"
She looked Xie Yu up and down, who she hadn't seen for nearly half a year, her face was plain, her long hair was cut short to just over her shoulders, neatly tied behind her head, brown plain clothes, black plain pants, a string of beads on her left hand, and a pair of time-honored cloth shoes on her feet, which was far from the gentle and bright Xie Yu that Tao You had seen before.
"Long time no see."
The little master sitting opposite Tao You looked at the two of them back and forth, touching the smooth scalp with one hand, "You know each other. Little donor, the room you just rested in is this donor's."
- What a coincidence.
Xie Yu sat down next to Tao You, looked around, and asked, "You came alone?" Xiao Song didn't come?"
"Well, I came on my own." Tao You didn't expect Xie Yu to ask Song Yimian when he came up, and nodded a little embarrassedly, "Sister Xie Yu, why do you want to come here?" I don't think college has been on vacation lately, right?"
Xie Yu took a small bite of the breakfast on the plate, lowered his eyes, his face was a lot darker, and he didn't reply for a long time.
Tao You realized that he had asked her something sad, so he wanted to change the topic, "Eh, Luo, Xiao, Luo XiaoweiΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
- Sister Xie Yu's boyfriend is this awkward name.
Tao You didn't remember for a while, but seeing that Xie Yu didn't interrupt, he continued to ask, "Didn't Luo Xiaowei come with you?"
- What are you asking about, this is not the same as Xie Yu asking her just now why Song Yimian didn't come. This mouth is really stupid.
Tao You slapped himself a few times in his heart, but the words had already been spoken, just like the water that had been spilled, and he couldn't take it back at this time.
She carefully observed the expression on Xie Yu's face, and saw that her expression improved slightly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
- Fortunately, I didn't continue to step on Sister Xie Yu's thunder point.
Xie Yu finished eating the little food on the plate, wiped his mouth elegantly, and hooked his lips slightly, "He went to the competition, and he won't be back until a few days."
"There were too many things at school some time ago, and it just so happened that I was free recently, so I'll come here to clean up for a few days and then go back." This is a response to Tao You's first question.
Although this reason sounded a little too far-fetched, Tao You was very insightful and did not continue to ask.
She didn't know what else to say, and Xie Yu's relationship with her was not close enough to have a lot to talk about. Tao You lowered her head and hurriedly ate, thinking that as long as she didn't stop, the other party wouldn't be able to find a time to talk to her, and she didn't have to squeeze toothpaste to respond to the other party.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When Tao You came out of the hall, the sky was already bright, and the pilgrims who came to the Jingling Temple gradually increased, and the road up the mountain began to become lively, and there was no cold appearance like the early morning.
"Little donor, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." The little master folded his palms again and bowed his head slightly to Tao You.
Tao You turned around and bowed with his hands folded, "Okay, okay, thank you this morning, little master Zhixin."
Zhixin touched the cyan scalp again, and smiled so hard that his eyes became a slit, "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, then I'll go first."
Tao You just lazily passed by the vegetable garden, and Xie Yu also came out of the room, holding a book in his hand, "Xiao You, I'm just going to the Library Pavilion, let's go for a walk?"
Tao You glanced at the book she was holding in her hand, it should have been on the table just now, and she had finished copying it.
"I heard that you have a fall league at the end of the month?" Xie Yu asked behind his hands.
Tao You also walked slowly, nodded in agreement, "Well, around New Year's Day."
"This battle is big enough," Xie Yu looked up at the sky, "You and Xiao Song have participated, come on."
Tao You looked at the smile on Xie Yu's face, at first glance it was as bright as before, but after a closer look, he always felt that this smile was a little reluctant, and he could see a trace of sadness and guilt from Xie Yu's eyes.
- Sad? Guilty? Is this what happened?
Tao You thought of the little master Zhixin telling her in the morning that Xie Yu was here to pray for the blessing of his family, although I don't know if Xie Yu told the truth to the little master, but something must have happened, and her coming here must have something to do with that incident.
Now that he had sensed Xie Yu's low mood, Tao You wanted to talk about some light-hearted topics, hoping to make her more relaxed.
