In the following days, Chanhe would come to deliver medicine to Shi Nanyun every day, twice a day, one morning and one night, without any delay. Since then, Shi Nanyun would drink up the medicine every time in front of Chanhe, sometimes Sometimes I would sit down and chat for a while, but Zen He didn’t talk much, so most of the time it was Shi Nanyun who was talking, while Chan He listened very carefully and rarely made conversation, and sometimes looked out the window silently long time.In addition, most of the time, Shi Nanyun just stared out of the window in a daze by himself. He occasionally went to Chan He's residence, but most of the time Chan He was doing homework.

On this day, Shi Nanyun felt a little better, so he got up early and planned to go out for a walk. A few days ago, he heard from the little novice that the scenery of the back mountain of the ancient temple is very good. went out to see.Just when he was about to go out, he bumped into Chanhe who came to deliver medicine to him.

Zen and said: "You want to go out?"

Shi Nanyun said: "Well, let's go for a walk. I've been here for a while, and I haven't looked around yet."

Zen and said: "Alright. Drink the medicine first and then go out!"

Shi Nanyun looked at Chanhe, his eyes were full of complexities, and said: "Chanhe, you...in fact, you don't have to come here every day. We have known each other not long ago, and you have done enough. Today I have recovered a lot, and no matter how much I drink this medicine, it will not save my life."

Zen and said: "Well, I know."

Shi Nanyun was astonished and said, "Then you... still come here every day to deliver medicine to me?"

Zen He: "Even if you can't cure your illness, how do you know you can't prolong your life?"

Shi Nanyun was full of bitterness, and said: "What can be extended, what can be done if it is not extended, I am alone, and there is nothing I can't let go of."

Chan He still insisted: "Drink the medicine first."

Shi Nanyun looked at Zen He, sighed, picked it up, and drank the medicine.

Holding an empty bowl and preparing to leave, after walking a few steps, Chanhe turned around again and said, "It happens that I have nothing to do today, so I can show you around the temple. I just need you to wait for me in the lobby first." .”

Shi Nanyun was startled, looked at the empty bowl in his hand, and smiled, "Okay."

The Putuo Temple is full of incense, well-known far and near, and it is a centuries-old temple. Although the scale is not particularly grand, it is not small. Chanhe led Shi Nanyun to visit the main hall at the beginning, and then there are several small halls dedicated to different Bodhisattvas in the temple. , Chanhe led them to look at them one by one. Although Chanhe didn't talk much, he would give Shi Nanyun a concise introduction to every place he went. Of course, apart from the various halls, Putuo Temple itself is located on the mountainside. The scenery is not bad, and it is early spring, so the scenery everywhere is worth watching.Before he knew it, more than half a day had passed, Chanhe looked tired from seeing Shi Nanyun, so he said: "Master Shi, you have seen the ancient temple almost, why don't you come here today and go back early to rest."

Shi Nanyun smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that the scenery behind Putuo Temple is very good, why don't you go and see it together today?"

Chanhe raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood today, and his usual sad breath had also decreased a lot, and he didn't want to disturb his interest, and said: "It happens that the back mountain is not far from here, there is a gazebo, go to It’s okay to sit down.”

After walking for a long time, I saw a gazebo there. A hundred steps away from the gazebo, there was a century-old maple tree with a thick trunk. The emerald green of the maple tree is the cliff. Coincidentally, there is a mountain spring passing by tens of meters to the right of the gazebo, pouring down from the cliff. Sitting in the gazebo, you can enjoy a wide view of the cliff. The scenery outside has a panoramic view, and this place is quiet, and you can hear the sound of running water while looking at the scenery, which is really a good place. Shi Nanyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is really a good place. With such a place, I should have come a few days ago."

Chanhe also agreed: "The scenery is really good."

Shi Nanyun said: "It would be great if I could come every day, but it's a pity that my body..." After a short pause, he lowered his eyes, Shi Nanyun's voice gradually became softer, and with a desolate smile, it seemed that he said softly to himself: "Even if If I can come every day, I can watch it for a few more days.”

Zen and He took a deep look at him and didn't say anything, both of them remained silent.

"Thank you" came a soft voice.

Chanhe raised his eyes to see the serious expression on Shi Nanyun's face, and said again: "Thank you, Chanhe."

"Yeah." Zenhe looked away.

It was dusk when the two returned to the temple. After dinner, Chan and watched Shi Nanyun finish drinking the medicine, and then went back separately.
