The backyard of the Guanyin Temple is where the female nuns of the temple live. Xiao Ming walked out of it and avoided the noisy main hall. The new Guanyin Temple leader took her all the way to the main place.
"You should stay with her for more time in the past few days, Master! She doesn't have much time left." Xiao Ming stood still and looked at the current patron with a sad face.
"Master..., is there no other way?" The viewer clasped his hands together and looked at Xiao Ming pleadingly.
Xiao Ming shook his head: "Master is old and on his deathbed. My condolences!"
The visitor looked down at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and turned his fingers skillfully. The beads were round and smooth after years of rotation. This was what the master passed on to her a month ago: "The master has a premonition about death. She has long been indifferent to life and death. She often It teaches us that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural phenomena just like the cycles of spring, summer, autumn and winter."
There was no more sadness on the face of the viewer. The speed of turning his fingers unconsciously accelerated, but his tone became calmer: "The impermanence of life is unavoidable. Suffering and death are inherently a practice in life. Only Face it calmly, accept it calmly, and let go of unnecessary attachments. We have made preparations, and so has the master. Please don’t blame yourself, Donor Xiao. We are all very grateful to you. Without you, the master may be in even more pain."
After saying that, the viewer clasped his hands together, saluted solemnly, and silently recited: "Amitabha!"
"Amitabha!" Xiao Ming also clasped her hands together and silently returned the greeting.
Isn't life just a practice? How many people can be as calm as a master?
A hundred years of life are gone in the blink of an eye. The seven sufferings of life are birth, old age, illness, death, the meeting of resentment and resentment, separation from love, and failure to seek... If you can see clearly and let go, everything will be like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water. Although it is pleasing to the eye, it is not eternal. It's better to be calm and open-minded, and don't let yourself spend time in sadness, don't let yourself wander in wandering.
It starts and ends according to circumstances, everything is based on the heart.
It's a pity that after one life, how many people can live as they please.
Doesn't she hope that life will be as she wants it to be? She pursues it hard and lives hard. She doesn't want to be distracted by the outside world, doesn't want to get entangled in the complicated affairs of her parents, and doesn't want to...
She just wants to live quietly, freely, and do everything as she pleases...
This was originally just a very simple wish, but unfortunately, it was not granted.
Many things are not based on her will. There are always many people or things rushing towards her.
Saying goodbye to the visitor, Xiao Ming walked alone on the road. She was going to meet up with Bai Xiaoyu, Yunling, and Li'er. Now that they had made some success, she asked them to go to the city to see some simple patients with headaches and brain fever.
It takes about half an hour to return to the city from the Guanyin Temple. The road is not smooth, but Xiao Ming is not in a hurry. It is still early, so she walks back slowly and can think about some problems quietly.
After tightening the strap of the medicine box, Xiao Ming continued walking, occasionally meeting one or two passers-by who rushed to the Guanyin Temple to seek blessings.
hoof! There was a carriage approaching behind her, and Xiao Ming took the initiative to step aside to the side of the road, wanting to wait for it to pass immediately. However, she saw a gorgeous carriage stop beside her, and the curtains rolled up, revealing a delicate and familiar face.
"Doctor Xiao, come together, I'll give you a ride." Zhou Lianrong said, looking at Xiao Ming's heart with all kinds of emotions. Once upon a time, she was hostile to Xiao Ming because of a hairpin, which also made her realize that Xiao Ming was calm on the outside. The evil side.
She once thought that she would never interact with a rude person like Xiao Ming again. Their different status and class would not allow them to interact one day.
But now, she invited her to accompany him.
There was sincerity and anxiety in his tone.
She thought that the reason why she was like this was just a moment of compassion because she didn't want to see a little girl walking on the mountain trail.
Xiao Ming smiled indifferently and rejected the other party's kindness: "Thank you, Mrs. Liu, no need, the road is not far, I can walk by myself."
After so much unpleasantness, could she ride Zhou Lianrong's carriage like a normal person?
impossible?
Even Zhou Lianrong can't face her!
Sure enough, after receiving Xiao Ming's rejection, Zhou Lianrong's expression changed, and she opened the curtain with a soft hum: "I don't know what is good or bad, let's go."
Ah! He became angry from embarrassment.
In a blink of an eye, the carriage disappeared under the driving force of the driver.
Running on four legs is indeed different.
She could guess some reasons why Zhou Lianrong would appear here. Such a proud girl was also bent by reality and lowered her proud head.
Time can really defeat many things.
It suddenly started to rain. Xiao Ming looked helplessly at the drizzle falling from the sky. This God was like a child, changing his face at the drop of a hat.
Xiao Ming opened the medicine box and wanted to take out an umbrella from the space.
He paused in his hands and was suddenly shocked. The umbrella was so long, how could it come out of the small medicine box.
It's even more impossible to conjure it out of thin air.
Perhaps it was a woman's innate sixth sense. She always felt that eyes had been staring at her these past few days, monitoring her closely like a money wolf, as if they wanted to see through everything about her.
This feeling did not come out of nowhere. She had been kidnapped in her previous life. Although there was no danger, it was a thrill that she would never forget.
The feeling is stronger today, maybe it's nearby.
Xiao Ming didn't look around in a panic, but searched in the medicine box for a while as if unintentionally. Finally, she took out a small fan and held it above her head to protect herself from the rain.
When opening the medicine box, she had to take something out, otherwise her unprovoked movements would arouse suspicion. Furthermore, she couldn't hold the medicine box above her head to keep out the rain, because the medicine box was heavy and she couldn't lift it.
This seemed like a normal unpacking and taking things, but no one knew that Xiao Ming's heart suddenly became anxious.
The pace under my feet quickened, which seemed to outsiders to be because of the rain.
After walking not far, he found a thatched pavilion in front of him, and Xiao Ming couldn't help but quicken his pace.
As I got closer, I realized there was someone else inside.
Xiao Ming was startled. It turned out to be Zhou Lianrong and her girl. A hundred meters ahead, the Zhou family's carriage was tilted to one side. One wheel fell into the ditch next to the farmland. The ditch was a bit deep, causing the carriage to collapse. Half of the entire wheel was sunk in.
The coachman was struggling with his horse, trying to drive the carriage out. Unfortunately, it was stuck so deep that it would be difficult to get out without help.
It's out of the way, there's no shop, and it's raining, so it's even harder to find help.
Zhou Lianrong looked at Xiao Ming coming over and remembered the scene of being rejected just now, and her already bad face turned even darker.
On the other hand, Xiao Ming walked into the pavilion without stopping, with a calm look on her face. She could even say hello to the Zhou girl in a friendly way, saying 'Hello! We meet again. '
