One big and one small are practicing love

Since that conversation, Liu Xiaochen began to devote himself to learning various healing skills, physical training methods, reading, etc.

Jiangshang Farm holds three healing sessions every month.

During class, Liu Xiaochen has to do a lot of practical things. But watching Du Niang teach and do things is very concrete and practical learning. Especially every time, Du Niang analyzes the horoscopes of different students and answers their life confusions. Liu Xiaochen can be greatly inspired.

When not in class, Liu Xiaochen has to contact the students who are attending the course, answer their questions about the course, clean the class place, purchase items needed for class, etc.

In addition to these necessary tasks, Liu Xiaochen studies whenever he has time. Reading, copying scriptures, seal incense, meditation, yoga, playing ocarina, etc. Sometimes I practice by myself, sometimes with Du Niang.

Sometimes, Du Niang would leave the farm and go somewhere unknown, giving everyone a holiday at the same time. Even during the holidays, Liu Xiaochen did not leave the farm and still took all the time to study.

One cloudy afternoon, Liu Xiaochen took a nap for half an hour, then got up to read "What Does the Diamond Sutra Say" written by Nan Huaijin and take notes.

After watching it with concentration for two hours, Liu Xiaochen felt that his body was stiff, his head was dizzy, and he was sweating, so he took a shower. And decided to go for a walk by the river, waiting for the wet hair to dry, while practicing playing the ocarina.

Liu Xiaochen carried the dark soft cloth bag containing the ocarina and walked leisurely along the embankment along the river. When I walked to the farm where I used to work, I felt a little tired. I jumped on the embankment, with my legs hanging down. I took out my black ocarina and practiced playing while looking at the quiet river scenery.

One of the healing courses is music healing, and Du Niang can play the ocarina. Du Niang did not ask Liu Xiaochen to learn to play the ocarina, just because every time he heard the deep music of the ocarina, Liu Xiaochen felt that his mind was purified by it and he felt at peace.

I want to learn slowly, and maybe one day I can play it to others like Du Niang.

Liu Xiaochen had studied guzheng for three years before, so he had some musical foundation and could quickly learn the ropes. It's just that the two techniques are completely different. One is the fingers and the other is the breath. Liu Xiaochen needs to train these skills.

Recently, the song Liu Xiaochen is practicing is "Listen to the Rain on the Mountain". There are many three-beat sounds in this piece, and Liu Xiaochen lacks breath. Every time he plays the last beat, his sound is weak and scattered. Due to poor breath control, the sense of strength and weakness between sentences cannot be expressed. However, every time Liu Xiaochen practiced, he could correct one or two small problems.

After playing it several times, there was always a break that he couldn't handle well. Liu Xiaochen suddenly learned to control the breath in this place. Decided to practice a few more times to solidify this skill.

When I was playing with my eyes closed and feeling my breath carefully, rain suddenly fell on my skin, and at the same time I heard someone shouting from behind: "Liu Xiaochen?"

Hearing his name, Liu Xiaochen stopped and turned around to see that it was Shen Liang. He was riding a bicycle and stood behind her with one foot propped on the ground.

"Why are you here?" they both asked at the same time.

Shen Liang smiled and said, "It's raining. Let's go. I'll take you to shelter from the rain first. We'll talk later." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to help Liu Xiaochen jump down.

"I can do it myself." After saying that, Liu Xiaochen put the ocarina into a soft cloth bag, then jumped down from the embankment, then jumped onto the back seat of Shen Liang's bicycle, pulling on the hem of his black and white plaid shirt. , leave with him.

The rain was heavy and dense, and Shen Liang was riding fast. When he arrived at the 'Eastern Han Painting Studio', Shen Liang said: "It's going downhill, so be careful!" After that, the car turned and followed a long slope. Sneak down quickly.

As the speed increased, Liu Xiaochen's body became unstable and he leaned forward inertly. His hands instinctively placed on Shen Liang's waist. After the car stopped, Liu Xiaochen quickly took his hands away and got out of the back seat.

After Shen Liang propped up the bicycle, he grabbed Liu Xiaochen's wrist and trotted all the way to the pavilion by the water. The two of them stopped.

Shen Liang looked at Liu Xiaochen with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here. Where have you been recently? I have contacted you several times, but you didn't reply on WeChat and the phone was turned off."

"Yeah!" Liu Xiaochen nodded and said, "Long time no see. It's a long story. I'll tell you more slowly when I have the chance. Why are you here?"

"Sit down first." Shen Liang pulled out a wicker chair from the stone table in the middle of the pavilion. After letting Liu Xiaochen sit down, he sat down next to her and said, "I work here."

Liu Xiaochen frowned and thought, "This is the studio. I remember you studied animation. When we met last winter, you were still doing animation work."

Shen Liang forced a smile and said: "You are right. But this year I have to take the exam to be an art teacher in my hometown middle school. The animation work is too intense and I don't have time to read and review. So I came to work in the studio. This studio It’s opened by my friend, and I only need to attend classes on Saturdays and Sundays, and I can study from Monday to Friday.”

"Why do you suddenly want to be an art teacher in your hometown? I remember you once told me that you wanted to make your own animated movie like Hayao Miyazaki."

Shen Liang leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and said: "Dreams are no match for reality. I have been working in Hangzhou for three years, and my salary will never keep up with the rising housing prices. I stay up all night every day to draw manuscripts, and Party A will always have something to produce." There are various requirements beyond your expectations. I want to pursue truth, connotation, and quality. Party A just wants simplicity, roughness, and directness to stimulate people's greedy and foolish shopping desires. Here, I am very interested in both material and spiritual matters. despair."

Listening, Liu Xiaochen suddenly thought of his work experience and could understand Shen Liang's mood. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "You can persist for three years, which is already very impressive. As long as it is a decision you are willing to make, anything will be fine."

"But I am not willing, I am helpless." Shen Liang affirmed.

Liu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Liang suspiciously, and said nothing.

Shen Liang smiled bitterly and said: "I can't fight the reality. I thought that after graduation, with my own efforts, I could give Zhang Qian a good life. But I gave her the house, car, and stable material life she wanted. I can’t wait for her. Zhang Qian said she couldn’t wait for me anymore. She was pregnant with the child of a wealthy businessman and became that person’s lover.”

Liu Xiaochen took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Shen Liang, still silent. Even after learning about healing, Liu Xiaochen still doesn’t know how to give real comfort to others and can only stay by his side silently.

The rain was falling heavily, and the patter of rain could not be heard without stopping. The chirping of frogs and the chirping of insects could be heard far and near. The two of them sat in silence, watching the rain scene in front of them.

"Why are you here?" Shen Liang asked suddenly.

"I work at the farm on the river next to your studio."

Shen Liang suddenly looked at Liu Xiaochen alertly and said, "Did you break up with Mr. Zuo?" Seeing Liu Xiaochen's suspicious face, he continued: "I know that 'Jiang Shang' is a healing center. If you weren't injured, you wouldn't Get to that place.”

Hearing the word 'injured', Liu Xiaochen felt sad, his eyes filled with tears, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Mr. Zuo is a very good entrepreneur, and you are also a very good girl. Although you have never said anything about your relationship, I can see that your relationship is very deep. Last winter, although Mr. Zuo wanted to retain You. But I see that you are very forbearing and hurt in this emotion. You are not suitable after all. "

After Shen Liang finished speaking, Liu Xiaochen's face was filled with tears. Without saying anything, he stood up, turned around and walked into the rain.

"Where are you going?" With that said, Shen Liang quickly stood up and followed him. The moment Liu Xiaochen stepped out of the pavilion, he grabbed Liu Xiaochen's arm and said, "I'm sorry, I offended you."

Liu Xiaochen shook his head, took a few deep breaths, with tears on his face, and said with a smile: "You don't need to apologize. I always pretend to be a victim to make people feel guilty about me. You are right, I am not suitable for him. You guys Everyone can see it, and I have always known that I have just been deceiving myself." As he spoke, Liu Xiaochen burst into tears.

"Liu Xiaochen, don't always be so harsh on yourself, you are very, very good." As he said that, Shen Liang took a step forward, pulled Liu Xiaochen into his arms, and hugged her trembling body tightly.

Liu Xiaochen did not push Shen Liang away, letting him hold him like this, and slowly stretched out his arms to hug his waist. At the moment, they both needed this warm hug.
