The cemetery is an hour's drive from the city.

Ning Zhixu and Nanyi take a direct bus. Twenty-five dollars a ticket.

Ning Zhixu brought a bag of candy, unpacked it, and put one in the palm of Nanyi: "If you get motion sickness, you will have a piece of candy." ”

This is his rare initiative from last night to now.

Nanyi is very coaxing, the gloom of the morning vanishes, and the eyebrows are open and the eyes are smiling and holding the sugar.

By the way: "Are you still angry?" ”

He sat on the side of the aisle, and his arm crossed the inner Nanyi to open a small gap in the window: "No." "The indifference of cherishing words like gold.

The little girl's mood that had just calmed down exploded again.

It's coaxing, but it's also irritable.

Her head was tilted to the side of the window, but she was not sleepy, and she closed her eyes and did not speak. Tear open the candy wrapper, and bite a candy to the ground with your teeth.

This dead dog!

Nanyi has been sleeping too much lately, and she can't pretend to be able to go down after only closing her eyes for five minutes.

So she began to toss Ning Zhixu.

"Ning Zhixu, my neck hurts."

There was no one in this car, Ning Zhixu leveled the seats of the two, and put his arm on her neck for her to pilllow.

Nanyi was still not satisfied: "Ning Zhixu, I want to drink water." ”

The boy unscrewed the cap of the bottle and fed it to her. Rubbing the fingertips away from the water stains on her lips.

Nanyi continued to call him: "Ning Zhixu, I want to eat sugar." ”

This time the boy didn't answer, reminding her, "You've already eaten it just now." Can't eat too much candy, your teeth will hurt. ”

Nanyi guessed that he would take care of her, and he was not annoyed, so he changed his request. Raising her chin, she looked like a proud and precious little princess: "Ning Zhixu, I want to kiss it." ”

The boy kissed her forehead.

Then before she continued to make demands, tell her, "Nanyi, lie down obediently." ”

It's already a very serious tone.

Nanyi scolded him 10,000 times in his heart. The dog has changed. I don't call her Yibao anymore, and I make a face to her.

"I'll never pay attention to you anymore."

She let out the most ruthless words.

As soon as the words fell, his lips were covered with a touch of moisture. The young man repeated the sentence in a helpless and conniving tone: "Nanyi, lie down obediently." ”

Like a child who has finally been rewarded, Nanyi obediently lies on his arm this time. By the way, I peeled the candy and put it in his mouth.

With the 44-hour train ride in place, this hour is particularly short.

The cemetery is on the hill and the air is fresh. Surrounded by forests, it is a treasure of feng shui.

After getting out of the car, there is a short distance to go, the land under his feet, not very smooth, Ning Zhixu is afraid that Nanyi will fall and touch, and hold her hand all the way.

At this time, there should be no trouble and no talk, the little girl followed him very sensibly, without saying a word, and it was rare to be well-behaved and quiet.

Ning Zhixu asked her, "How many times have you been here?" ”

"Huh?" Nanyi reacted for a while before he understood what he was talking about, and replied honestly: "Twice." ”

"Once a year?"

"Hmm."

During his two years of absence, Nanyi Tining Zhixu came to visit his mother in the city every year.

"Thank you."

This is the first time that Ning Zhixu said thank you to her so solemnly.

Nanyi didn't know what to say back, so she simply remained silent.

His mother's tombstone is in three rows and four columns to the south. Nanyi came by herself the first two times, and she searched the four corners of the entire cemetery for the first time before she saw it.

The woman who sleeps here is called Fang Jinxiu.

Splendid, meaning beautiful and beautiful.

She is indeed a beautiful woman. The smile is shallow, and the eyes are gentle and peaceful.

Ning Zhixu gently put down the flowers he brought. Then take out a tissue and dust off the tombstone. The surroundings are very clean, presumably cleaned before Nanyi.

This time he was finally able to introduce his favorite girl to his mother, Ning Zhixu straightened up and put away the tissue, took Nanyi's hand and stood side by side with her in front of the tombstone: "Mom, this is Nanyi." My girlfriend. ”

It's completely different from the mood every time I came in the past, this time I really came to see Ning Zhixu's mother. The little girl smiled brightly: "Hello Auntie, I am Nanyi, Ning Zhixu's girlfriend." You see, I said he'll be back to see you soon. I'm not lying. ”

Seeing the young man's puzzled gaze, Nanyi explained: "I came here at the beginning of the year, and told my aunt that you will come to see her this year." ”

The boy smiled and squeezed the girl's hand.

The woman in the photo is also looking at them and smiling.

"Mom, you like her too, don't you?"

A gentle breeze blew, like a warm touch. The woman seemed to respond to his words.

Nanyi thought that Ning Zhixu had a lot to say to his mother, but he didn't stay long. She didn't know that Ning Zhixu had been talking to the photo for a long time last night, and he had already introduced her to his mother. I brought her here today just to officially let them meet.

On the way back, Nanyi pointed to the buildings halfway up the mountain and asked him, "Have you been there?" ”

It was a temple, a place to pray for blessings.

Ning Zhixu believed in the past.

When his mother was seriously ill, he came here every week to pray for blessings, but the Buddha did not appear. Then he didn't believe it. I haven't been here for four years.

Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Ning Zhixu knew that she wanted to go: "Let's go, go and see." ”

"Can I go in?"

Nanyi used to take the train for two days and two nights by himself, and then took the car to leave after worshipping his mother. Every time I pass by here, I never go in. I haven't seen anyone go there either.

Ning Zhixu took her halfway up the mountain and explained to her on the way: "You can go in." Usually there are fewer people who come, and generally people who believe in Buddhism or do business and seek wealth will come to burn incense. ”

"Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"I don't believe it." The young man paused and looked at her sideways: "I believe you more." ”

Compared with the Buddha and the Mandate of Heaven, Ning Zhixu believes that Nanyi is God's favor and gift to him.

Nanyi grabbed his arm and smiled, his eyebrows crooked: "I also believe in my Xu Ye." ”

This temple looks not far from the cemetery, but it is really unbearable to walk on, and it is still uphill.

After climbing the mountain road for twenty minutes, Nanyi was tired, and his calves trembled: "Ning Zhixu, let's rest for a while." ”

"Can't walk?"

"Well, my feet hurt." Nanyi is a squeamish little princess.

There are still steps to go up, and Ning Zhixu squatted in front of her: "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

This road is not easy to walk, Nanyi is reluctant to let him suffer: "No need, I can walk." Besides, it only makes sense to walk through it yourself. ”

She thought, sincerity is spirit, and she walked up step by step, and maybe she could get more favor when she prayed for a while.

Ning Zhixu accommodated Nanyi's turtle speed, and the two finally spent a lot of time going to the temple.

There were only scattered pilgrims and monks in the courtyard. Ning Zhixu and Nanyi put some sesame oil money in the merit box at the door.

Stepping into the courtyard, the monk was on the side, clasped his hands together and asked, "Are the two donors here to worship the Buddha or ask for a lot?" ”

Ning Zhixu came with Nanyi, and he asked her opinion.

The number of marriages is the will of God. Nanyi didn't have anything to ask for, just wanted to ask the Buddha to bless Ning Zhi Xu with peace and smoothness.

Then he replied: "Worship the Buddha." ”
