Bright Spring

He really has never observed a person for such a long time and done so many boring trivial things. If he had to stay in this secluded attic, he would not observe a nun who has nothing to do with him.

Today the little nun is being bullied again, which seems to be a daily activity for the nuns in the temple.Xiao Ni was kicked while washing clothes, and his hand was crushed by a shoe. Even Zhu Gaoxu who was here could hear the scream.

That Xiaoni is miserable enough, the more she fights against the powerful people in the temple, the more miserable she is bullied.Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu saw her running out of the small gate on the west side of the temple, thinking that she was going to find a place to cry outside, but she didn't.

She came out with a bucket, brought a basin of clothes outside, put the clothes in the basin into the bucket, and started washing the clothes again, as if nothing had happened in the temple just now.

The distance was a bit far, and Zhu Gaoxu still couldn't see the little nun's appearance very clearly, but judging from her figure and demeanor, she should look pretty good, not to mention that her skin was dazzlingly white under the sun. He reckoned that the little nun must have It is a person with outstanding looks.

But I don't know why she wanted to become a nun at such a young age, and she even chose a temple where she was often bullied.

Zheng He and the others didn't come back at noon, so Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui had lunch, and Du Qianrui naturally cooked the food.The yellow cat came again last night, looked at the dining table and barked a few times... I didn't feed it last night, it smelled the smell and ran in again, very persistent.The walls of the yard, and even the doors and windows of the house can't stop the cat at all. Even if the doors and windows are closed, it can still get in through the tiled roof.

In the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu was staying in the attic, thinking and observing the scene outside.At this time, I saw the little nun coming out of the temple courtyard, walking down a small path on the hillside without anything in her hand.

Not long after, Xiao Ni called: "Little yellow cat, Mimi..." She looked around while calling.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately remembered that the yellow cat he saw during the meal seemed to be raised by Jiming Temple!When he looked back, the cat happened to be looking around on the wooden stairs, but he didn't know if he heard Xiao Ni call it, anyway, he didn't pay attention to it at all, it was only very interested in the snacks on Zhu Gaoxu's table.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it, so he picked up a piece of snack, bent down and put it on the ground, and called out, "Little yellow cat..."

The cat walked over slowly, let out a "meow", and jumped on the dessert.Zhu Gaoxu bent over, with sharp eyes and quick hands, and stretched out his hand to hold the cat. It struggled and scratched its paw a few times, but Zhu Gaoxu immediately changed his hand to hold its neck.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the cat, stood up and looked out the window, but couldn't find the little nun for a while.After a while, I saw that she had already walked to the street selling incense candles on the mountainside.

After hesitating for a while with the cat in his arms, Zhu Gaoxu walked down the pavilion, took a big hat and put it on, and greeted Du Qianrui: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Du Qianrui nodded in response, and glanced at the cat in his arms.

Zhu Gaoxu went out to an alley, the surrounding walls were covered with moss, and the ground was old stone slabs.The weather is fine and the road is easy to walk.There was no one in the alley, and the trees in the walls on both sides blocked the sunlight, making it feel more secluded on the road.From the way he came in yesterday, he walked along the alley, turned twice, and came to the entrance of the alley.

Outside the alley entrance is the long street selling incense candles.Zhu Gaoxu didn't go out, he lowered his big hat to cover his face, and stood there waiting with the cat in his arms.Judging from Xiaoni's walking speed and the distance to here, she should not have reached the entrance of the alley at this time.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, I saw her walking over. "Meow..." the yellow cat barked, and Xiao Ni immediately turned her head and saw the cat in Zhu Gaoxu's arms. She stood there for a while, then walked towards this side.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, almost letting the cat in his arms run away!

In this old street and alley, there are lifeless incense candles piled up in the shops, and the soot fills the air. Zhu Gaoxu seems to see that in the messy corners, the dust is blown away, and a bright pearl is in the rotten wood.

I can't believe that there is such a beautiful nun in this place.Even though she was wearing a monk's robe and bald, it still couldn't destroy the bright and pure color of her red lips and white teeth.The sun hanging down from the west fell on her face through the old long street, and the satin-like skin was glowing and very shiny.Her appearance was out of tune with the surrounding scene.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't feel the depression and simplicity of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha at all, but Xiao Ni was youthful and lively, and his aura was striking, which suddenly made the spring scenery a little bit more beautiful.

Chapter 1 Encounter

The little nun crossed the cobblestone street and walked slowly towards this side.From time to time, passers-by walked by, blocking her figure, and Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously turned his head slightly to look at her.

She is tall and well developed.At this time, women don’t have bras to support them, and they don’t know how to pad things. Ordinary people look relatively flat and inconspicuous, but her front skirt is pushed up high, leaving the waist of the cloth robe empty, as if it doesn’t fit very well.But the age of a woman is like the annual rings of a tree, which cannot be modified or concealed. Judging from Xiaoni's childish face and skin, she is not very old, probably younger than Du Qianrui.

Xiao Ni's appearance is natural, there is no modification on the whole body, she is so pure that she doesn't even have hair, and there is only a layer of green light hair on her head, but she is still beautiful and charming.Her figure is very tall and straight, slim and calm, and she has a bit of wisdom at such a young age, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary girls.

Her eyes are big and bright, but her eyes are very sharp and sharp. She doesn't look downcast and docile like most girls, but looks directly at Zhu Gaoxu confidently.Seeing her approaching gradually, Zhu Gaoxu actually felt a little oppressed.

It's been a long time since I felt this way.In my memory, I only had the feeling in the previous life. In the previous life, he was ordinary and vulgar, and he had no strength and confidence. Sometimes when he saw that kind of Bai Fumei with exquisite makeup and a famous brand, he would feel oppressed that he could not lift his head. Feeling... But that is the extravagance piled up with money and makeup, and the little nun in front of him is only wearing a coarse cloth robe, which is really strange.

She walked up to Zhu Gaoxu, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you benefactor for finding the little yellow cat for the poor nun."

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly passed the cat over.

The moment he handed over the yellow cat, Zhu Gaoxu's hand was very close to hers. Compared with the two, he suddenly felt that his skin was very old and rough, as if he was from a completely different world...but Zhu Gaoxu is not yet 20 years old , he always felt that he was very young.

Xiao Ni didn't feel the joy of gaining and losing at all, with a calm expression, he took the yellow cat and hugged it in his arms.Taking advantage of the opportunity of approaching, Zhu Gaoxu took a look at the bruise on the back of her hand, even the skin was torn, it should have been run over by an old nun with a shoe in the morning.It is a pity that the delicate and fair hands are treated like this.

Xiao Ni's eyes were very good, and when she noticed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, she freed her injured hand, and she also glanced at the back of her hand, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu again.

Zhu Gaoxu just had a look in his eyes, did she realize that he was spying on her life?

"How does the benefactor know that the poor nun is looking for the little yellow cat?" Xiao Ni actually questioned him.

Zhu Gaoxu forced a smile helplessly, and said: "I heard you calling the little yellow cat, little yellow cat, and saw you coming to this street, so I sent it to you. This cat often comes to my house to look for food, you Look out for the temple."

Xiao Ni turned her head and looked up at the direction of Jiming Temple, and said, "The benefactor is really kind."

She said thank you as soon as they met, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't feel much gratitude, but felt that she had thorns on her body.Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to argue with a little nun, so he said casually: "It's close to the temple, and my heart is much kinder."

"If the benefactor sees it, the temple may not be good." There was a faint sneer in Xiaoni's eyes.

"Heh!" Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, and the sophistry at this moment could only be described more and more darkly, to no avail.

Maybe it was because Zhu Gaoxu felt a little sympathetic to her after seeing her being bullied for no reason and doing so much work for two days in a row; or maybe he didn't have any precautions against a little girl... Anyway, he kindly returned the cat to her.This matter was quite unexpected, I just gave away the cat, but immediately exposed the approximate location of the hiding place to this little nun?

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and thought, she was just a nun whom she met by chance. Nanjing has a population of nearly one million, so there seems to be nothing to worry about.

But he also started to ask about the identity of the little nun: "You are not very old, why did you become a monk in Jiming Temple? Why do those people bully you?"

"It has nothing to do with the benefactor, I have to go." Xiao Ni said, she paused, her tone softened suddenly, "This cat was raised by the host, fortunately the benefactor gave it back to the poor nun... I am a court lady, offended He was sent to the Jiming Temple to become a monk by force, and the training he suffered was as expected."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Farewell."

In the end, he still felt her kindness, and Xiao Ni was not a person who didn't know good from bad.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at her back, and suddenly he was full of imagination about the court. Can a court lady be so beautiful? !No wonder the father raised his head and wanted to be the emperor.

He returned to his residence, thinking about how to find out Xiaoni's identity... But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, and he would leave Beijing in a day or two, so who cares about Xiaoni's identity?After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that the risk of today's matter was minimal.

Going back to the window on the pavilion, after a while, the nun hugged the cat and went in through the west gate of the temple.She stood at the door, turned around and looked over, this was the first time she saw Zhu Gaoxu on the pavilion.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dodge either, and stood by the window, looking at her from afar.At this moment, Xiao Ni waved to this side, and then walked into the temple.

The situation at this time made him feel a little exciting | nervous, and his inner feelings were very complicated.

The beautiful encounter in the spring colors, the bitter and thorny warmth and kindness, mixed with tension and worry, slowly fermented in the tranquil scenery of the ancient temple as the sun went down.

... After a while, Zheng He and the three returned.Zhu Gaoxu immediately forgot about the boredom of waiting, and started to discuss business matters with them.After screening several places, Zhu Gaoxu finally settled on two places and planned in detail.

"I'll finish my business tomorrow and leave Beijing right away!" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Several people clasped their fists together and said, "Obey!"

When they walked to the main room, Du Qianrui prepared the meals as usual.Sure enough, I didn't see the yellow cat tonight, so I guess it was caught and tied up.

Nothing happened overnight.Zhu Gaoxu got up very early, got ready, and waited for the appointed monk Qingyuan to come.

It seemed that a habit had been formed in the past few days, and he subconsciously walked up to the window of the pavilion, preparing to observe Xiao Ni doing trivial things during the waiting time.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see her.Zhu Gaoxu was slightly disappointed for a while.Some subtle thoughts, like a small stone thrown into the spring water, can also stir up small ripples.

That faint mood is originally irrelevant, and it is unnecessary to go further. If you lose it, you will feel a little lost.
