Chapter 56: Inquiry
Chapter 56
Shi Yao found Hongyi very smoothly. And Hongyi also kept his promise and went up the mountain with Shiyao.
Hongyi silently followed behind Shi Yao, carefully protecting along the way, looking at Shi Yao's busy appearance. He didn't say a word about the cry he had heard last night.
In fact, since he saw Shi Yao, he has always wanted to ask Shi Yao why she cried last night. But in the end, he didn't ask anything.
"Koichi, have you been living here since you were a child?" Finally, Shi Yao stopped in place after digging up one medicinal herb after another. She turned to look at Hongichi, who had been following her but didn't say a word.
"Yes." Hongichi had the same smile on his face as when he first saw him. Gentle and gorgeous.
"Do you get bored living in the middle of the mountains all the time?" Shi Yao continued to ask.
"Sometimes." Hongichi answered truthfully. This is also the reason why he will keep running outside despite the opposition of his master and brother. said that it was an experience, but in fact, he was eager to see a wider world.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he would meet Shi Yao on the way.
"Have you ever thought about leaving here for a different way of life? Just like the ordinary men and women in the world. Hongyi's answer made Shi Yao even more courageous to continue asking.
No, it should be an inquiry, she wants to know whether Hongyi's heart yearns for the red dust world outside, or the pure place here.
Seeing Shi Yao ask herself like this, the smile on Hong's face suddenly stiffened in the air. He looked at Shi Yao, and then pondered for a few seconds. "I feel like I'm living a good life right now."
He didn't understand why Shi Yao asked himself like this, but he knew that he couldn't tell Shi Yao, and he couldn't tell anyone, he actually longed for the outside world of flowers.
Although such an idea only came after meeting Shi Yao. But he still couldn't tell anyone.
"Is it really good? Do you really want to live alone in this deep mountain for the rest of your life? In addition to chanting scriptures every day, those flowers and plants that raise you in your mind? Don't you want to experience the love, hatred, joys and sorrows of the world? ”
Seeing that Hongyi gave himself a mock reply, Shi Yao frowned and continued to ask.
"Love and hatred, joys and sorrows are all things that make the world miserable. At the end of the day, it all had to be put down. I think it's better not to go through it. ”
Hongyi thought about it and gave Shi Yao his answer. He didn't know if it was in his heart, but the Buddha had always said so. And he also knew that Shi Yao was not asking himself these questions casually.
"Did you put it down?"
"It's been put down." Hongyi thought about it, and still gave Shi Yao such a positive answer.
"Huh." Shi Yao laughed softly, and there was mockery in her laughter.
"You haven't experienced those loves, hatreds, joys and sorrows, what do you take to put down?" Shi Yao looked serious, she hoped that Hongyi could also answer her questions seriously. Not perfunctory to her, but also perfunctory to himself.
This time, Hiroshi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, yes, he hadn't experienced that, so why did he say that he had let it go?
looked at the serious look on Shi Yao's face. Hongyi suddenly discovered that in front of Shi Yao, he was always lying. Forever on the run. But he just couldn't figure it out. Why did he lie to Shi Yao. Why should he run away. And what is he deliberately trying to escape?
Hongichi doesn't understand himself anymore. He found that since he met Shi Yao, he had become less like himself.
