I really don't want to be a teacher

"... A few masters, I will go back to the village first, and I will come to see a few masters another day."

After saying a word, the old farmer stepped out of the main hall with a plastic bag filled with ashes. He didn't notice the body of the old monk in the night beside the main hall, walked out of the temple gate, and gradually walked away along the winding mountain road down the mountain.

……

Watching the old farmer walk away, Lian Ge turned his gaze back,

The hall became quiet again, only the candle flame flickered slightly.

Looking at the tablet on the altar table again, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, walked out of the hall.

……

"Let's go."

"Squeak..."

Glancing at the body of the old monk leaning against the outside of the main hall, he raised his head slightly, and then glanced at the temple,

After a pause, Lian Ge looked away, waved his hand, picked up the old monk, turned around and walked outside the temple.

……

After stepping out of the temple gate, Lian Ge walked along the courtyard wall towards the back of the temple.

Going around a section of mottled courtyard wall, Lian Ge stopped again.

Behind the temple is a hillside that rises slightly, and beyond the slope is the other side of the mountain.

On the slope, it has been reclaimed into a field, but it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, and some weeds have grown again.

A path was trampled out among the weeds. At the end of the path, there were several graves raised in the field.

There is a tombstone in front of the grave, which is the name on the tablets in the temple.

Moving his feet, he walked along the path to the grave. After a pause, Lian Ge walked towards the graves a little further away.

Stopped again, Lian Ge put down the old monk,

He turned his gaze and looked down the slope.

Going down the slope, the temple is not far away, and beyond the temple, no matter how far away, you can still see the peaceful village at the bottom of the mountain.

In the village, the lights of every house are on, and the windows are dotted in the night, and in the night, the slanting moon and the stars are shining.

With the breeze, the village heard some crowing and barking from time to time.

Withdrawing his eyes, he looked at the few graves not far away,

Lian Ge looked at the old monk beside him, paused,

Driven by mana, he waved at the old monk,

The ground under the old monk's body followed closely, and slowly sank, forming a grave.

The old monk still crossed his legs and lowered his head, following the sunken ground, he sank into the tomb.

The tomb was formed, Lian Ge looked at the old monk again, looked away, and waved again.

The old monk's luggage fell into the old monk's side, in the grave pit,

The falling cicada also landed on the old monk's shoulder and monk's robe again.

On both sides of the tomb, the soil followed and slid down into the tomb, filled the tomb again, and buried the old monk in it.

The faded branch stood up again, inserted in front of the tomb, standing like a tombstone,

Immediately afterwards, a new bud was pulled out from the branch, trembling slightly with the breeze blowing.

Withdrawing his hand, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, glanced at the branch and the buds on the branch, paused,

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge looked away,

"Let's go,"

"Squeak..."

Turning around, moving his footsteps again, Lian Ge walked down the hillside.

Mixed with the cries of the little white mice, one person and one mouse drifted away, and the tombs also drifted away behind them.

Chapter 371

"...crash la la."

The rainwater slapped the roof tiles, gathered and flowed down the eaves,

The wind with some water vapor, through the gap by the window, blows into the house from time to time,

There was a dim yellow incandescent lamp in the room, swaying the light, swaying slightly with the wind, shaking the shadow of the person under the lamp.

"... Lian Ge, did Zen Master Jiekong solve the confusion in his heart at the last moment?"

Standing in front of the window, looking out of the window, Lian Ge was on the phone with Gu Xiaoying.

The window was covered with mist by the rain, through the window, the courtyard of this temple was outside the window,

In the yard, the rainwater flowing from the eaves rushed towards the side of the yard. The trees beside the yard swayed with the wind carrying the rainwater, rolling down a few fallen leaves from time to time.

Farther away, in the village below the mountain, the lights that were still on looked hazy in the rainy night.

The sound of dense rain, on the contrary, added a bit of tranquility to this night.

"That depends on what his confusion is."

Looking at the rain outside the window, Lian Ge replied.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying heard the words, thoughtful,

"...Then I hope he can solve his confusion and see what he wants to see."

A little silent, on the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying propped her chin and said.

Hearing this, looking out the window, in the rainy night in the distance, at the village under the mountain, Lian Ge smiled slightly.

……

"Squeak, squeak..."

Squatting on Lian Ge's shoulder, the little white mouse turned its head, looked out the window, then looked into the room, and barked twice.

"Lian Ge, what did the little white mouse say... Let me guess if it said it was hungry."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying heard the voice and said aloud.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The little white mouse stood its forelimbs upright, and called twice more,

"It says you're right."

Lian Ge heard the sound, smiled and said.

……

"... Lian Ge, are you still in that temple?"

Outside the window, it was still raining, and the rain was beating against the roof tiles, making some subtle sounds,

Turning around, Lian Ge moved away and walked towards the bed.

"...The sound of rain hitting the tiles has a very quiet feeling."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying lay on the bed, propped her chin and said,

Listening to Gu Xiaoying's words, Lian Ge smiled slightly, sat down by the bed, and looked at the rainwater flowing from the eaves outside the window,

"...However, it should stop tomorrow morning, otherwise it should delay Lian Ge's schedule."

"It will stop."

Looking at the rain outside the window, Lian Ge responded.

……

"...Lian Ge, it's almost New Year's Day, are you coming back?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying lay on her stomach, propped her chin, and asked,

Saying that, before Lian Ge could reply, Gu Xiaoying sat up again,

"Why don't I wait until I'm on vacation, I'll come to you and stay with you for three days."

Gu Xiaoying said with great interest,

"...Gu Xiaoying, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!"

On the other end of the phone, outside Gu Xiaoying's room, Gu's mother's voice sounded,

"I'm on the phone with your son-in-law."

Gu Xiaoying yelled towards the outside of the house, and the living room fell silent.

"...Then Xiaoge, you can talk to Xiaoying..."

Shouting into the room again, Mother Gu walked away again.

"...Hmph, Lian Ge, did you hear that, the blatant discrimination, your mother-in-law bullied me!"

Gu Xiaoying snorted twice, turned her head, and said to Lian Ge on the phone.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge smiled slightly, but did not respond.

"By the way, you haven't answered what I said just now. I will come to you on New Year's Day and walk with you for three days."

Holding her chin, Gu Xiaoying said again,

"Row."

Lian Ge smiled and replied,

"...Then let me check the time again... There is still a week before New Year's Day."

Lying on the bed, Gu Xiaoying said,

"Ahhh... It feels like it will be a long time, I want to come here now."

"If you can, that's fine." Lian Ge said with a smile.

"... Lian Ge, you bullied me."

Gu Xiaoying said angrily,

"No way."

"...There is! Hurry up and coax me!"

……

Voices rang in the room, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying were chatting, and they were tired.

……

After a long time, the phone call with Gu Xiaoying ended,

The house suddenly became quiet again, only the sound of the wind and rain outside the house beating against the roof and eaves, and the branches and leaves of the trees.

Put the phone aside casually, and then glanced at the room.

In the room, the furnishings are simple, with only a bed and a cabinet.

"Go to sleep."

Looking back, Lian Ge waved his hand and turned off the lights in the room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, carrying mana, he began to practice.

On the side, the little white mouse turned its head, looked around again, curled up on the side, and lay down.

……

Outside the window, the night is getting darker, and the rain patting on the roof is getting lighter.

……
