The furnishings in the house are simple, with a wooden bed, a wooden wardrobe, two wooden chairs, and a wooden table with a small ceramic vase and a folding mirror. There are a stack of rice paper, a book and a folding mirror neatly placed in the corner. A pen.
There are fresh wild flowers and red plums in bud in the vase. The petals are covered with completely melted frost and have a unique fragrance. They must have been picked just by the owner in the morning. They are very beautiful.
The heating effect was very good, and soon white mist appeared on the two windows. Tao You's cheeks were reddened by the heat and her chest felt stuffy. She realized that she was lacking oxygen, so she got up and turned off the heater and opened the window on one side for ventilation.
The house faces north and south, and outside the window is a narrow dirt path. Beyond it is a hillside full of bamboo trees. Even in the depth of winter, the greenery is not reduced by half.
To the west, there is a large vegetable garden with a greenhouse. You can see that it is full of various vegetables. There are many frosty wild flowers on the edge, and a few plum blossoms that have been growing for many years are now in full bloom. The buds are well cared for. Tao You looked back at the flowers on the table, which must have been picked there.
To the east, a red sun rises slowly in the mist, making half of the sky hot. Tianjing Peak becomes gleaming with the rising sun, and the trees on several surrounding hills are gradually visible. The chirping of birds became a commotion.
Tens of thousands of orange-red lights are filtered by layers of branches and leaves, and just the right little bits of red light fall on the sandalwood window sill. The shadows of the trees on the ground are constantly swaying, breaking up the beams of light with different thicknesses and shapes under the shade. , gathered again.
The biting cold wind blew away the sultry heat in the house. Tao You felt the slightest chill. He stood up and looked around. Most of the clouds and mist surrounding the air had dissipated. He could vaguely see the densely packed houses at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and the entire Wei City. As the sun rises, slowly wake up.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air that was not polluted by various gases. She felt relaxed and happy, and even the north wind blowing on her face seemed to be a little softer.
There was a jagged sound of footsteps outside the house, and a few minutes later, "Dang, Dang, Dang..." The rhythmic sound of wooden fish came from the Buddhist hall, mixed with the uniform sound of chanting sutras.
Tao You opened the door and the sound became clearer.
——It’s time for the masters to finish their walking meditation and start their morning classes.
Tao You half-opened the door, moved a chair and sat by the window. He put one hand on the edge of the window and rested his head on his head. In front of him was a spectacular sunrise that was rare in winter. Behind him was a sunrise that could free his mind, eliminate irritability, and calm down the whole person. The sound of chanting.
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 leaning against the window sill unknowingly.
——————————————————————————————
"Donor! Donor!" The young master who brought Tao You in knocked on the half-open door. He didn't hear any noise from inside, so he opened the door and saw that Tao You was asleep leaning on the window edge. He just raised his feet to go in and call. She then thought of her master's teachings and took back her raised feet. Instead of entering the house rashly, she could only shout loudly at the door, "Little! Alms! Lord! Wake up! Wake up!"
While Tao You was sleeping, she vaguely heard a vague voice calling in her ear.
--donor? Call me? When did I get this name? My surname is Tao, not Shi.
Tao You in the dream couldn't find the source of the sound, so he ignored it and continued to do what he was doing.
The little master at the door anxiously scratched his head with both hands, walked back and forth, and tried calling a few more times, but still no response from Tao You, "Why are you sleeping so soundly?" Seeing that everyone else was going to have breakfast, he became more and more anxious, and went If you're late, you won't have anything to eat. If you don't have enough to eat, you won't be energetic all day long. If you don't have the energy, you won't be able to complete today's task well. If you fail to complete the task, you will be scolded by the master. After the scolding, you will be punished by copying. When you finish copying...it's not yet dawn, and you have to sweep the floor at the door again! No time to sleep at all!
Thinking of this, the little master became more and more distressed, wrinkled his face, and unknowingly increased the intensity of scratching his scalp, and did not stop until his scalp became slightly hot.
"Little~! Shi~! Lord~!" He was so angry that he kept shouting in his Dantian, "Get up~! Come on~! La~! If you don't get up, there will be no food! Ahem, cough, cough." Shouting too hard, The last word was broken, and he choked on his own saliva and coughed hard.
--Have a meal? !
Tao You woke up from her dream and heard that there was no food left. She suddenly woke up. She looked around and remembered that she was not at home. She straightened her hair and said apologetically to the little master at the door, "I'm sorry, I slept too much." I’m familiar, I didn’t hear you call me.”
The little master waved his hand and pointed to the other side, "You haven't eaten yet. There is a vegetarian meal today. Do you want to eat something?"
Tao You touched his empty belly, closed the window, put down the chair, and followed the young master to the dining hall.
"Hurry up, hurry up, go faster." The little master led the way, with the wind blowing under his feet, "If you go late, there won't be anything good to eat."
The little master looked younger, but was much taller than Tao You. She trotted behind him without any complaints. After all, it was because of herself that the little master missed the meal.
Passing the Buddhist temple on the road, it was quiet and the air was filled with the faint smell of smoke from burning incense.
Breakfast at Jingling Temple costs fifteen yuan per person, which is not expensive and has a rich menu. Tao You held the dinner plate and walked slowly with the team.
"Little donor, you can take less of each one and come back after eating. It is best not to have any food left on the plate. We are now advocating to save food." The little master walked behind Tao You and told her seriously in a low voice. .
"This cabbage fried noodles and cowpea cake are my senior brother's specialty dishes. You can try them. I also helped pick this cabbage in the yard this morning. It's very fresh." He said, putting it on his plate Better.
"Zhi Xin, you took so much. After eating for a while, you fell asleep again, and you have to be punished again." A chef in an apron came out from behind, holding a freshly baked white-flour steamed bun in his hand.
——It turns out his name is Zhi Xin.
Zhixin smiled and touched his head, "Senior brother, your fried noodles are delicious. No matter how much I eat, I don't get tired of it. I finally ate it once, so I must eat more. My concentration has improved greatly now. I will definitely not be able to chant sutras for a while." doze off!"
There were now many pilgrims in the dining hall who came to offer incense and pray for blessings. Like Tao You, they were wearing plain clothes and carrying backpacks, sitting in the dining hall and eating breakfast quietly.
"Xiaoyou?" A female voice appeared behind Tao You.
Tao You wiped his mouth and looked back, "Thank you, Sister Yu!"
She looked up and down at Xie Yu, whom she hadn't seen for almost half a year. She had a plain face, her long hair was cut short to just over the shoulder length, and neatly tied behind her head. She wore brown plain clothes, black plain pants, and carried a string of beads in her left hand. , wearing a pair of time-honored cloth shoes, which were far different from the gentle and bright Xie Yu that Tao You had seen before.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The young master sitting opposite Tao You looked back and forth between the two of them, touching his smooth scalp with one hand, "You know each other. Little donor, the room you just rested in belongs to this donor."
——What a coincidence.
Xie Yu sat next to Tao You, looked around, and asked, "You came alone? Xiao Song didn't come?"
"Well, I came here on my own." Tao You didn't expect that Xie Yu would ask Song Yimian when he came up, and nodded awkwardly, "Sister Xie Yu, why do you want to come here? There shouldn't be a holiday for the university recently, right?"
Xie Yu ate the breakfast on the plate, lowered his eyes, his face became darker, and he didn't reply for a long time.
Tao You realized that he had asked about something sad about her, so he wanted to change the subject, "Hey, Luo, Xiao, Luo Xiaowei..."
——Sister Xie Yu’s boyfriend must have such a hard-to-pronounce name.
Tao You didn't remember for a while, but when 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 when Xie Yu asked her why Song Yimian didn't come. This mouth is really stupid.
Tao You mentally slapped himself several times, but the words had already been spoken, just like water being thrown out, and he could no longer take them back.
She carefully observed the expression on Xie Yu's face, and was relieved when she saw that her expression improved slightly.
——Fortunately, I didn’t continue to step on Sister Xie Yu’s fault.
Xie Yu finished the little bit of food on the plate, wiped his mouth gracefully, and slightly curled his lips, "He went to the competition and won't be back until a few days later."
"There were too many things at school some time ago. I happen to be free recently. I'll come here to cleanse myself for a few days before going back." This was a response to Tao You's first question.
Although this reason sounded a bit far-fetched, Tao You was very discerning and did not continue to ask.
She didn't know what else to say, and Xie Yu's relationship with her wasn't close enough to have many topics to talk about. Tao You lowered her head and ate in a hurry, thinking that as long as she didn't stop, the other party wouldn't have a chance to talk to her, and she wouldn't have to think of topics to respond to the other party like squeezing out toothpaste.
——————————————————————————
When Tao You came out of the dining hall, the sky was already bright, and more and more pilgrims came to Jinling Temple. The road up the mountain began to become lively, and it was not as cold as in the early morning.
"Little donor, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." The young master clasped his hands together again and bowed his head slightly to salute Tao You.
Tao You turned around and bowed with his hands clasped together, "Okay, okay, thank you for this morning, little master Zhixin."
Zhixin touched the cyan scalp again, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, "Haha, it's okay, I'll go over there 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, "Xiaoyou, I happen to be going to the library, let's go for a walk together?"
Tao You glanced at the book in her hand. It must have been the one she had just put on the table and had finished copying.
"I heard that you will start the autumn league at the end of the month?" Xie Yu asked with his hands behind his back.
Tao You also walked slowly and nodded in agreement, "Yes, around New Year's Day."
"This battle is big enough," Xie Yu looked up at the sky, "You and Xiao Song are both participating, so work hard."
Tao You looked at the smile on Xie Yu's face. At first glance, it was as bright as before, but upon closer inspection, he felt that the smile was a bit forced, and he could also see a trace of sadness and guilt in Xie Yu's eyes.
——Sad? Guilt? Is this what happened?
Tao You thought about what little master Zhixin told her in the morning that Xie Yu came here to pray for his family. Although he didn't know if Xie Yu told the truth to the little master and the others, something must have happened, and she came here Bian must have something to do with that.
Now that she has noticed Xie Yu's depression, Tao You wants to talk about some relaxing topics, hoping to make her feel more relaxed.
