Burning Heart[ABO]

The next day was still sunny, Ye Huaining soaked in the racecourse all morning, Xu Yinxing played with him for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore, and was called away by others.

At noon, Ye Huaining ate something casually in the cafeteria, went back to his room to take a nap, and woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Yinxing sent a WeChat message asking him if he wanted to go and play together, Ye Huaining casually replied "Let's talk later" and got up to make coffee.

Boringly flipping through the resort brochure on the coffee table, the front is the landmark map of the entire resort.

Ye Huaining took a closer look and found that the resort was indeed bigger than he had imagined. Behind it was the tallest mountain in the city. He moved his fingers over and noticed that there were also marked buildings on the mountain.

"Huanjue Temple."

Ye Huaining chewed the name in a low voice, thoughtfully.

After going downstairs, Ye Huaining went to the hotel service desk and asked, "Is there any place to play on the back mountain here?"

"The back mountain does not belong to the scope of our resort, but there is an old temple on the mountain. If you want to go, go out through the door on the west side, and you can go directly up the mountain."

The staff reminded him with a smile: "But I don't recommend you to go. The temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and the incense has been cut off long ago. There is only one teacher and father. It is not interesting. It is cold and the mountain road will freeze. It is not convenient to go up the mountain. If you If you want to play, there are still many places to play in the resort, and I can introduce them to you."

Ye Huaining declined the kindness of the staff, but he still wanted to take a look.There were too many people in the resort, and the group that recorded the variety show was still there, so he didn't even want to go out. If he wanted to go outside to breathe, he had to go farther.

The west side of the resort is already close to the foot of the mountain. After going out, it is indeed the way up the mountain. Although it is cold, the weather is fine today. Ye Huaining walked all the way up the mountain, stopping from time to time to take some pictures of the scenery, which was quite enjoyable.

There is still some depressed greenery in the mountain forest, occasionally you can see a few wild flowers blooming tenaciously, which makes Ye Huaining rarely feel good.

An hour and a half later, he stood at the gate of Huanjue Temple.

This place is still some distance from the top of the mountain. It is really dilapidated and has a history of decades.Ye Huaining walked in and looked around. There were only two small temples in the courtyard. There was a copper Buddha statue that he couldn't recognize in the temple. .

Ye Huaining thought, what the hotel staff said was wrong, the incense here was not completely cut off.

He turned back from the backyard to the front yard, and walked into the Buddhist hall again, only then did he notice that there was still a person sitting on the backlit ground in the corner, with only a thin monk's robe on his body, and he was meditating with his eyes closed, as if he had already settled down up.

There is really only such a teacher here.

Ye Huaining stood aside and watched quietly for a while, without stepping forward to disturb.When he turned to leave, the other party called him to stop him: "Sit down and talk with me when you're here, most of the people who are willing to come here in such a cold day are those who have something hidden in their hearts."

In the evening, Xu Yinxing sent another message to Ye Huaining, asking if he was still in the room and if he wanted to come down to eat.

A few minutes later Ye Huaining replied: "I'm going up the mountain, I'll be back later, you don't have to wait for me."

Xu Yinxing was startled, and quickly called: "Brother Ye, why did you run up the mountain alone? What fun things are there in the mountain? Is it dangerous? It's getting dark, come down quickly, or I'll pick you up? "

"No need, I'll be going down the mountain in a while, it will be dark when you come up and go down." Ye Huaining declined his proposal.

Xu Yinxing hesitated and said: "...Then brother Ye, you should be more careful, and contact me anytime if you need anything."

Ye Huaining hung up the phone, still sat cross-legged on the straw, and continued to talk to the teacher.

In fact, he didn't talk too much about himself, he just asked the teacher how long he had been in this temple and why he came here.The master teacher is a very talkative person, he told Ye Huaining a lot about his early experiences, and finally encountered an accident, saw through the world, so he came here.

"You are different from me. People who have something hidden in their hearts will come here to seek temporary comfort, but they will not stay." The master teacher explained Ye Huaining's thoughts in one sentence.

Ye Huaining didn't deny it: "I still have a lot of things I want to do. I want to make money, I want to take revenge on those who hurt me, and I want to spend the rest of my life in style. I won't stay."

Teacher and father nodded: "It's always good to have thoughts. I won't persuade you to become a Buddha in vain. Moreover, you still have people who miss you. At least someone will remember to call you when you come here."

Ye Huaining was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Maybe."

Before the evening, Ji Rao needed to change his dressing due to a hand injury, so he ended the recording early and went back to the hotel to rest.

"This thing, you help me send it back to Mr. Ye."

Ji Rao handed Xiao Zhang a cuff button, which he picked up after Ye Huaining left in the bamboo forest last night.

Xiao Zhangchi asked him: "Brother Ji, don't you go and return it to Mr. Ye?"

"Forget it, don't bother him, you go."

After changing the medicine for the wound on his hand, Xiao Zhang came back without giving away the cufflinks, saying that Ye Huaining was not in the room: "But when I went downstairs, I happened to meet Xu Yinxing and the others, and I heard Xu Yinxing was talking with Brother Ye on the phone, Brother Ye It seems that he went up the mountain and said he would come down later."

Ji Rao frowned, and looked out the window subconsciously. The sky was covered with burning clouds. In winter, it gets dark quickly, and it might be night in half an hour at most.

Did Ye Huaining go to the mountain at this time?

"...Did you tell me just this afternoon that the weather might change tomorrow and it will snow heavily?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhang understood what Ji Rao meant, and reminded him, "It's very likely that the sky will change tonight."

Although it is likely to be in the middle of the night, no one can say for sure.

Ji Rao's mind sank.

He didn't think much, got up, picked up the down jacket and went out, Xiao Zhang followed: "Brother Ji, let me go with you."

While putting on his clothes, Ji Rao told him: "No need, you stay here, if there is anything you can still meet me, we will keep in touch."

Xiao Zhang felt uneasy, swallowed the words of persuasion, he couldn't persuade Ji Rao.

After leaving the hotel, Ji Rao quickly walked towards the west gate.

He had been there during the recording of the program in the morning, and he knew there was a way to go up the back mountain.

Before he knew it, the night had already darkened.

When the last ray of light and shadow in the Buddhist hall was exhausted, Ye Huaining was startled to realize that it was getting dark.

Teacher and father looked outside the Buddhist hall: "The wind is blowing."

Ye Huaining took out his mobile phone and found that it had only the last bit of battery left.

"I'm worried that I won't dare to go down the mountain at night, so I can stay here for one night, and there are vacant rooms in the back."

After the teacher and father explained, he got up and went to the back kitchen to prepare dinner.

Ye Huaining walked out of the Buddhist hall, the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall, with a cold wind blowing across his face, it was all coldness.

Pulling the zipper of his down jacket to the top, Ye Huaining let out a sigh of relief, he probably can only make do with it tonight.

So he sent a message to Xu Yinxing, telling him about his stay on the mountain, Xu Yinxing called to remind him that the sky would change at night: "Brother Ye, be careful, I will pick you up on the mountain tomorrow morning."

Ye Huaining thanked him, hung up the phone, and then turned off the phone.

Meals at the temple were light, two vegetarian dishes and a simple soup.

Teacher and father were very quiet when eating, and stopped talking, and Ye Huaining didn't talk much either.After eating dinner in silence, the teacher reminded him: "There is no heating in the room, but there is a charcoal basin. If you feel cold at night, you can light it up. Remember to leave a slit in the window and don't close it. There is boiling water in the kitchen." If you want the pot and washbasin, you can get it yourself."

Ye Huaining thanked him.

The teacher went back to the room and quickly turned off the lights.

Ye Huaining settled down and returned to the guest room.

The furnishings in the room are simple, there is almost nothing, even the quilt has a musty smell that has not been used for a long time, but Ye Huaining has calmed down for a long time. On this cold winter night, in the small temple on the mountain where there are few people, he lit a charcoal basin, went to Boil a pot of hot water, lie down on the bed after a simple wash, unprecedented peace and tranquility.

After the sky darkened, the road up the mountain was extremely difficult. The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the slippery road had a tendency to freeze. Ji Rao had to turn on the flashlight of his mobile phone, pay attention to the road under his feet, and speed up the climb.

I called Ye Huaining several times, but the phone was always turned off.

The phone number was on the business card Ye Huaining gave him that night.

After getting the business card, he saved Ye Huaining's number, and tried to find Ye Huaining's new WeChat ID, but he didn't bother.He knew that Ye Huaining was bothering him, so he didn't want to use the trumpet to get close and deceive Ye Huaining again.

But now, he must contact Ye Huaining as soon as possible.

He was worried that something would happen to Ye Huaining.

The number was redialed again, and the answer to Ji Rao was still the mechanical voice "The phone you dialed has been turned off".

Ji Rao was restless, his foot slipped, and he lost his footing without noticing.

When his body fell forward, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to support it. The palm of his uninjured hand rubbed against a thorny branch, and his right knee also hit the stone steps heavily.He was unable to stabilize his body under the pain, and rolled down the stone steps in embarrassment.

The back of his head hit the ground heavily, fortunately he was wearing a hat, even so, at that moment his eyes were completely dark for several seconds.

It took half a day to barely recover.

Ji Rao raised his head and looked at the waning moon in the sky, but the light of the moon could not be reflected in his eyes.

He closed his eyes, got up again, rubbed his bloody palms on his clothes, and continued to climb.

When the mobile phone had the last bit of battery left, Xiao Zhang called and asked him anxiously: "Brother Ji, have you found Mr. Ye? I have been waiting in the hotel lobby, but I didn't see him come back. It's snowing outside. What are you doing?" When can I come back?"

Sensing a bit of coldness on his face, Ji Rao stretched out his hand to wipe it, and it really snowed.

"I'm fine. I'll go to the temple on the mountain. You can ask Xu Yinxing and the others if President Ye has contacted them. If I haven't left the mountain before tomorrow morning, you can call the police."

The phone was hung up, the battery of the mobile phone was also dead, and the mountain road was completely dark.

Ji Rao took a deep breath and continued walking.
