Li Ye ran wildly on the road, letting the falling spring rain completely wet him. If yesterday's experience made me moved and happy, the scene just now made me heartbroken and confused.
He didn't understand why a person with the same youth and the same life could take shelter from wind and rain in his mother's arms.
The other one has to use his hands that are red from the cold to carefully string up the apricot flowers on the tree one by one, stand in the cold spring rain, wait for the passing guests to dismount, and spend a few copper coins to buy them.
Perhaps, she couldn't sell a bunch in a day, because of the rain and fog in the sky, and the passers-by just wanted to get to the finish line quickly and didn't want to waste time in the wind and rain.
Although he left twenty gold coins for the little girl and thought that the little girl's parents would send her to school tomorrow, his heart was still very blocked and painful.
He wanted to vent the pain in his heart, and since his husband was not around at this time, he had no choice but to run as fast as he could, operating the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" to the maximum, and using the speed of his feet to the extreme.
Facing the spring rain all over the sky, Li Ye cursed God for being unfair. Unfortunately, his ability was limited. Even if he gave gold coins to this girl named Xiaolian, he could not help more girls like her.
He heard the curses in the rain, but no one paid attention to him, which made him feel a little lonely.
Thinking about what the old monk from the Great Buddha Temple said that everyone in the world is suffering, it turns out that not only from the ideological point of view, but also from the physical body and living environment of different people, it all reflects the true meaning of the Buddha's saying that everyone is suffering.
There were white clouds on both sides of the official road, and the spring rain was thick. They would understand the troubles in his heart at the moment.
There was anguish in my heart, but I couldn't vent it out. I could only use my strength with my feet and run forward, heading forward.
A whirlwind blew on the official road in the misty spring rain, faster than the carriage on the road.
...
He didn't know how many miles he had traveled or how long he had been running. It wasn't until he ran all the way into a small town and asked the passers-by on the roadside that he found out that he had already covered one hundred and eighty miles while running wildly.
Including the journey in the car with his husband, he has traveled a full 200 miles from the town yesterday.
And it was not yet noon.
Calculating the time, the carriage the husband was riding in would arrive in the town at the earliest possible time.
In desperation, I had no choice but to ask around, find the only inn in the town, and pay for three rooms.
Looking at the rain and fog outside the door, Li Ye took out the money. While talking to the shopkeeper, he said: "Excuse me, shopkeeper, a carriage will arrive at your shop later. Those are my master, mistress and sister. Please bring them to the room I booked."
After that, he described the appearance of Mr. Jiang, Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu to the shopkeeper in detail.
The shopkeeper accepted the money and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, I am the only inn in this town. They will definitely come here."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Please ask the kitchen to boil some hot water. I want to take a dip. I'm a little tired today. I'll also cook a large bowl of beef noodles and send it to my room. I'll pay you the bill together later."
The shopkeeper yelled: "Hurry up and boil a large bucket of hot water and cook a large bowl of beef noodles."
...
He hung the wet monk's robe on the client's chair, took off his armor, and took some herbs and put them in the water. Li Ye, who was naked, closed his eyes. He just wanted to be intoxicated at this moment...
He somewhat understood why the ancients wrote the words: "I hope I will stay drunk and never wake up." Because even if you are awake, some things are still powerless to change.
Even if I change Xiaolian today, there are so many Xiaolians in the world, can I change them all?
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
At this time, he wanted to hold his mother and cry happily, but his mother was far away in Fengyun City at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
Soaking in the hot water, Li Xinjiang slowly closed his eyes, thinking about Xiaolian on the roadside for a while, and his sister and mother in Fengyun City.
He shook his head and said to himself: "Let's put all this aside for now. If I were a Buddha, I would save the world, but right now I am still practicing on the road."
Li Ye knew that his husband had been worried that he would encounter danger on the road, and he even thought that since he ran ahead of his husband today, he, his wife and Mu Mu would definitely be worried and worried about him.
Soaking in the hot water, he couldn't help but run the mind method of the Formless Dharmakaya, thinking about when he could reach the legendary Fangcun Mountain and get the last few levels of mind method he wanted.
At this moment, the waiter outside the door knocked on the door and shouted for a meal.
Li Ye asked him to put the beef noodles on the table in the room, and he continued to soak in the warm bathtub with his eyes closed.
The waiter put down the noodles and closed the door.
In an instant, the whole room was filled with the strong aroma of beef noodles.
Touching his empty stomach, he smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that I would run nearly two hundred miles because of the depression in my heart. If I say it, I will definitely frighten Mr. and Mu Mu."
I was too cruel to myself today, and I will never be as cruel to myself tomorrow as I was today.
In the days to come, you must take your time and wait for your husband and Mumu while practicing. You must not patronize yourself.
After soaking a bucket of boiling water to cool down, Li Ye got up and dried himself, took out a set of clean robes to change into, and sat at the table to enjoy the beef noodles produced in the noodles.
After eating and drinking enough, he lay down on the bed, took out a silk scarf to cover his face, closed his eyes, and recited the six-character mantra over and over again. He just wanted to fall asleep for a while.
"There is no perfect person in the world. Of course I am not, nor is my husband, nor is my wife or Mu Mu. Under the ruthless heaven, all living beings are pitiful people."
...
At midnight, Mu Mu knocked on Li Ye's door.
"We arrived at half past midnight. The teacher asked you to sleep a little longer. It took me a long time to call my brother." Mu Mu stood at the door pouting, unhappy.
Li Ye stretched out his hand, hugged Kan Mumu tightly, and said softly: "Sister, brother will never let you suffer in the future!"
Mu Mu hugged him, patted his shoulder and said, "Sir, you must have been stimulated today. Let Mu Mu comfort you!"
Li Ye put her down, pulled her towards the room on the side, and said, "Which room does sir live in?"
Mu Mu stretched out her little hand and pushed away the customer in the next room. The husband was sitting making tea, and Li Hongxiu was leaning on the side to peel melon seeds.
The husband raised his head, looked at Li Ye who was standing outside the door, and said calmly: "What happened today? Why did you run so far in one breath?"
Li Ye walked in holding Mu Mu's hand and sat opposite the gentleman. He lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
After thinking about it, he took out the flower basket from the space ring and put it on the table. He smiled lightly and said, "Master's wife, Mu Mu, these are the flowers I bought for you on the way."
After speaking, he picked up a bunch and hung it around Mu Mu's neck, and then pushed the flower basket in front of Li Hongxiu.
Mu Mu smelled the fragrance of apricot blossoms, hugged Li Ye and kissed her, then said with a smile: "Brother is good to Mu Mu. Remember to buy flowers on the way. There is still dew on the petals."
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye, took out a bunch of garlands from the flower basket, hung it around her neck, sniffed it gently, and said with a smile, "The little guy is pretty good, he knows how to please his wife."
Li Ye looked up at her but said nothing.
The gentleman picked up the pot, poured him a cup of hot tea, and said quietly: "If you have something on your mind, tell him."
Li Ye picked up the tea cup in front of him, looked at his husband, then at Mu Mu, then thought for a while, then spoke softly and repeated what happened on the road.
When he finished speaking, Li Ye's eyes were already red, and he lowered his head and said, "Sir, even so, I still feel very uncomfortable. How can the disciple face all this?"
The gentleman looked at Li Ye's appearance, stretched out his hand and gently patted his hand on the table.
He said calmly: "Life is one scene, one prosperous scene, the love in the world is all wind and smoke, the joy of a finger is like a lotus blooming and falling, and there is a dream in the sky, why bother to obsess. Since you are practicing Buddhism, you should cultivate a compassionate heart and go out with your heart. Overcome all hardships."
Li Ye looked up at him, shook his head and replied, "Disciple can't do it!"
The gentleman thought for a moment and continued. "Now you have compassion and have reached a higher level on the path of Buddhist practice. There are some truths that I can't explain to you, so you'd better go to Prajna Temple and ask your master monk."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Buddhism is so compassionate that it can put an end to all suffering for its disciples."
Li Hongxiu pulled Mu Mu and sat beside him, looked at Li Ye and sighed.
He said faintly: "It's only been a few days, but you have encountered so many things. We sat in the carriage and just looked at things, passing by in a flash."
Li Ye looked at her and said calmly: "Not experiencing suffering is also a blessing."
Li Hongxiu glared and said with a smile: "Little monk, are you trying to practice Zen with your master's wife?"
Li Ye sighed again and said softly: "What the disciple said is true. If Mu Mu had not met Mr. Bai back then, her situation would have been worse than Xiaolian today. Just seeing her, I thought Mumu will feel even more uncomfortable."
When Mu Mu heard this, she jumped over and hugged Li Ye, held his hand, and said with red eyes: "Except for the master, my brother is the person Mu Mu loves the most, and he will always be."
Li Ye hugged her and said with a smile: "Mumu will follow me from now on."
...
When I woke up the next day, it was already three strokes higher.
When he went downstairs, he saw Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu walking out behind her husband. Li Ye hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you about to leave?"
The husband turned around, looked at him, smiled, and said, "You ran a little too hard yesterday, so you have a day off today. Your wife and I will go out for a walk, and you can have a good rest."
Mu Mu turned back to look at him, pouted and said, "Don't worry, brother, Mu Mu will bring you some delicious food."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Follow Master, don't run around."
Mu Mu made a face and took Li Hongxiu's hand out of the inn.
"Man, please cook a big bowl of beef noodles, thank you." Li Ye found a table by the window and sat down, watching the people coming and going outside the inn, as if he had returned to Wang Xiaoer's noodle stall in Fengyun City.
The spring rain has stopped, and the apricot flowers on the wall of the house across the street are quietly blooming. As the sun gets longer and the temperature gets higher, the petals are spreading to their heart's content.
Looking at the apricot blossoms in front of him, it reminded him of the apricot trees in Chunfeng Academy in Fengyun City. He thought that the flowers there would also be blooming like this, right?
"In a few days, the apricot flowers will bloom everywhere in Fengyun City, right?"
He hummed softly, stretched out his hand to pull the beef noodles served by the waiter in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the largest piece of soy beef in the bowl.
No matter what happens tomorrow, it’s important to fill your stomach first!
"The boss cuts three kilograms of soy sauce beef and brings a jug of good wine!"
There was a "bang" sound, and there was a black knife without a scabbard on the table. There were several gaps on the back of the knife. Opposite Li Ye, a boy in his twenties and eighties sat down.
I saw this young man wearing a white robe. It looked like it had not been washed for several months. It was a little dirty, a little black, and a lot of gray. The young man
He was handsome, but with a trace of the vicissitudes of time. His black hair was tied back randomly with a cyan silk rope.
Li Ye put down his chopsticks, looked at the young man opposite, and smiled: "There are so many tables, why do you want to squeeze in with me?"
The young man looked at him, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "It seems...I like you."
Li Ye looked at him quietly and asked calmly: "Is it just pleasing to the eye?"
At this time it was the boy's turn to look at him.
He looked at the young man like an idiot and said with a smile: "Most people would like to hide away when they look at my face. You actually say you like it?"
The young man burst into laughter. He reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile: "You are not a girl full of flowers, what do you want to do to be beautiful?"
Li Ye was stunned and asked, "Where is Huamanlou? What's there?"
The young man was startled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That is a good place, you can go and play if you have a chance!"
Li Ye was stunned and said with a smile, "You are the first interesting person I meet when I go out."
The young man picked up the tea cup, smiled and said, "You are the first person I met after coming down the mountain that I like."
