Bells rang from the mountains of the far west.

In the midst of the bells, there are whimpering.

The old Zen master sat down, and the entire cicada forest mourned and wept bitterly.

The novices have lost their leaders, and they have lost their spiritual support.

They wept bitterly.

The crying continued for three days and three nights, and it did not weaken.

It caused grief in many places down the mountain.

At the foot of the cicada forest, there is a novice.

He does not grieve and does not cry.

He just kept his head down, occasionally bending down to pick up a rock.

There were already a lot of stones in his arms.

"What are you doing?" asked a child.

"I'm collecting corpses. Nasami said.

"You're bleeding. The child said, "Oh!"

Novice looked up and saw a handful of leaves in the child's hand.

"What is this?" he asked.

"The grass to stop bleeding was originally used to sell for money, but you were too badly injured, so I gave it to you. The child said.

"Thank you. ”

"But you have to give money. ”

"If you gave it to me, I still have to give money?"

"If I don't give it to you, you'll bleed to death, and it's right to ask for money. "The kid is right.

"I've been bleeding for months and I'm used to it. Shami said.

"A few months? Are you stupid to me? Your wound is obviously new, and you just don't want to give money!"

"It's not that I don't want to!" said Shami as soon as he snatched the leaf from the child's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it heavily, and slurred his words, "but I really don't have any money." ”

When the child heard this, he was angry and wanted to shed tears: "You...... You don't have the money to rob me of my herbs!"

The novice carefully placed the stone on the ground, and took off the tattered, blood-dripping garment even more carefully, the wound was so painful that he bared his teeth.

He sat on the ground and spit out the herbs that had been chewed into green foam: "What do you mean by robbing? Give it back to you, or you?"

"You scoundrel!" cried the child, tears falling in large gullies.

"Don't forget it. The novice began to apply herbs to his wounds.

The child had a handful of snot and tears, and stared there.

"What are you looking at?" asked the novice, looking up.

"Pay me back!" the child was furious.

"I said I don't have any money. ”

"Then you use something else. ”

"When you are a novice, how can there be anything else?"

"Nonsense, you have a necklace!" cried the child.

"Necklace, how can I have ......" Shami looked down, but saw a "necklace".

But it's not so much a necklace as a shackle.

When was that put on by whom?

What is it that it is trying to lock in?

"Why, can't you speak?" the child tilted his nostrils back and assumed the posture of a victor, triumphant.

But he forgot that he still had snot and tears on his face.

The novice's wound was covered with herbs, but it didn't seem to be getting any better, and the blood was still flowing outward, washing away all the herb foam.

He didn't care about that, just looked down at the chain.

"Hey, are you talking about denial!" the child became angry again, and at the same time a little frightened.

If this bald head stands up and runs, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up.

No, he has a wound on his body, and he can't run away.

So, the child relaxed again.

Shami broke free from his thoughts and squeezed out a smile: "Okay, if you can take this chain off, it will be yours." ”

"Good!"

The child was not polite at all, and stepped forward in two steps and grabbed the chain.

Half an hour later.

The novice lay on the ground and yawned three times in a row.

"Little friend, can you hurry up? My master is sitting down, and I will hurry back to see him off. ”

"You...... Are you a pervert, go out with such a heavy necklace!" The child was out of breath and out of breath.

"That's how much it weighs, I have something heavier than this, do you want to see it?"

"There's something heavier? How could it be! Could it be made of dark iron? That thing is worth a fortune!"

"Hehe, it's much more valuable than Xuantie, can you go and take a look?"

"Look! I don't believe it yet!"

"Okay, but before you can do that, you need to know one thing. ”

"What?"

"See this pile of rocks?"

"What's wrong?"

"This is a monument, even if you can find all the fragments of them, you can't fulfill your wish, you know?"

"Oh. ”

"You go up first. Shami waved his hand, then lowered his head and continued to search for the stone shards.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for stone chips. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"It's useless, just play around, you can't become a wishing stone, you can't fulfill your wishes. ”

Suddenly, the child's eight or nine years of wisdom poured out, and he guessed it.

It turns out that these are the fragments of the Wishing Stone, and finding them will make your wish come true!

So, the child began to look for it.

"Hey, what are you doing, go up the hill!" shouted Shami nervously.

"I'm looking for stone chips too!"

"What are you looking for it for? It's useless. ”

"I'll look for it if it's useless!"

The child stubbornly lowered his head, his eyes shining in searching.

"Okay, you find it first, I'll rest. ”

It's not polite to say, as soon as I turned my head, I really fell asleep.

For a long, long time.

It's getting dark.

The child held a pile of stone chips and kicked Shami's ass hard.

"Uh-huh, I didn't peek, I didn't steal food! What are you doing! I-want-eat-meat!"

I don't know what kind of nightmare he had, and his mouth was full of haze and at the same time he looked frightened.

When he came back to his senses, he saw a child holding a stone shard.

"What's the matter, disturb my dreams!" said the novice dissatisfied, turning his head again, about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, the child kicked Shami in the ass again.

"Hurry up, I've found all the pieces of the Trevi Stone!"

"How do you know?"

"There's no such debris nearby!"

The child is very excited, and even more excited when he thinks that he is going to make his wish come true in a moment.

He sat up, looked at the hill-like stone chips in front of him, and estimated that it was about the same.

"Okay, you go home. The novice began to lay out the stones one by one.

"I don't. ”

"Why?"

"I want to make a wish!"

"Make a wish, make a wish?"

"I'm going to ...... Wishes cannot be said!"

"But I can't make your wish come true, can I?"

"But the Wishing Stone can!"

"Wishing Stone?

"Uh-huh!"

"It can't either, you better hurry home, your mother called you home for dinner. ”

"I don't!

"Okay, okay, you can do it, hide!" Novice pushed the child, took a piece of stone from his feet, and carefully placed it on the stone tablet.

The child stood and watched for a while, and felt that it was too slow, so he followed suit.

"Oh no, this one should be placed here!" "No, no, he picked up a piece of stone that the child had just placed and placed it in another place.

"No, it's right here!" the boy snatched the stone back and put it back in its place.

"No, it should be placed here!"

"Just put it here!"

"Why don't you understand aesthetics at all?"

"Haven't you ever played with blocks?"

......

All night.

One big and one small quarreled all night.

At this moment, an extremely ugly stone tablet with scars all over and twisted is still standing here.

"It's all you, you don't understand aesthetics, that made it so ugly!"

"If you hadn't turned that stone upside down, how could it be so ugly!"

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

The novice and the child were face to face, each with red ears and bared teeth, each furious.

"Forget it, I don't know you like a child. Shami shook his hand and raised his feet to go up the mountain.

"Wait!" cried the child.

"What?"

"Said you were going to take me to see a very heavy necklace!"

"Oh, okay, let's go. ”

There is a rooster crowing.

The eastern sky was just as white as a splash, and there was no red that framed the horizon.

"Kid, are you a little cold?" said Shami as he looked at the kid who was shivering with his arms in his arms.

"I'm okay. The child said stubbornly.

"You're wearing too little. Shami said.

"Out of the way. ”

"Your lips are purple. ”

"It's all right!"

At this moment, a bell rang from the top of the mountain.

This is the bell for the novices to get up and go to class, but now, they should all be gathered around a certain room.
