Gui Gongzi [Green Snake]

That night, Fahai made an exception and did not sit in meditation.

Jinshan is located in the middle of the Yangtze River, forming a corner with Guazhou and Xijindu. It is like a lotus in the water, quiet and unique.

A small boat is rowing across the water, and the mother of the boat sways the oars. When she rises, she will sing a boat song.

Most of the songs sung by boat girls are related to the love between men and women. In the past, boat owners worked and lived on the water, and when they met someone they liked, they would sing loudly to attract their attention.

But now, it doesn't seem that the two sitting in the clothes can enjoy the quiet environment and singing.

Xie Xin might still be able to taste it. When he understands folk customs, Fa Hai has no interest. He sits cross-legged on the boat with his palms folded, motionless, and looks disinterested in everything he hears.

Xie Xin looked at the scenery, then glanced at Fahai, and thought to himself, he was quite handsome, but he kept a straight face every day, showing an incomparably old-fashioned look.

In fact, calculated, Fa Hai is only about twenty, which is about the same age as when he just died.

Back then, I couldn't keep my emotions out, but I was a little bit ashamed, and I would be expressionless every day.

However, at that time, Xie Xin had no idea that he could enter the strange world after death. Even after such a long time, he could sit in a boat with a monk leisurely and listen to the song of the boat lady. love song.

"Actually, you don't have to come down with me. You grew up here. Many things that I think are new are just clichés to you." Not bored, but Fa Hai is not the type to be a guide.

All the way on the boat, the other party suppressed the bow of the boat as silently and steadily as Mount Tai, his eyes were like water, and nothing around him seemed to be able to distract him.

Only then did Fa Hai look at Xie Xin, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I just want to go shopping."

But you don't seem to want to go out...

Xie Xin had no choice but to chat with the boat lady.

When the boat reaches the upper reaches, the number of tourists gradually increases.

There was a bright light on the river bank, and it was someone putting up lanterns.

Xie Xin watched those boys and girls release lanterns on both sides of the bank, write what they want to say to their sweethearts on a note, hide it in the lantern, and then put it on the water, and wait for the lantern to flow with the water and flow to the other side, and he can pick it up.

When the small boat passed by, it disrupted the running track of several lanterns. Xie Xin moved in his heart, supported the bow of the boat with one hand, leaned out and pushed aside the lanterns that were almost caught in the bottom of the boat, so that he could continue to float to complete his mission.

Now, many men and women on both sides of the strait were attracted by the people on this boat.

Although there are many tourists on this river, a boat floated past not long ago, messing up a few lanterns.

But none of those boats were so pleasing to the eye.

A few girls had an idea, and simply wrote a note in the extra lantern, put it into the river and picked it up with a wooden stick, and floated towards Xie Xinna, calling out: "Young master, this is for you!" , go on~~"

Xie Xin laughed and shook his head, thinking that the women here are really outspoken and lovely.

But before he moved, a hand suddenly reached out from his side and took the lantern away.

"Hey—" the jubilant girls sighed and watched the boat drift away.

Fa Hai picked up the lantern, then retreated safely to the same spot, and continued to sit upright.

Xie Xin was taken aback, then said, "That's for me."

Just as he was about to go forward to take it, Fa Hai held the lantern and waved it back.

The lamp was thrown into the water again and went away with the flowing water. Xie Xin watched helplessly, but Fa Hai made a gesture to stop it.

Finally, Xie Xin was a little dissatisfied: "You, a big man, can't get along with a bunch of little girls? That lantern is someone else's wish, and you even want to trample on it to show your domineering strength?"

Xie Xin got up, waved his hand in the void, a gust of breeze blew up on the surface of the water, carried the lantern and went against the current, continuously drifting towards him.

When Xie Xin bent down to pick up the lantern, Fa Hai's face was ashen, as if trying to endure something.

When Xie Xin saw it, he found it strange that if this person was really angry, he would definitely attack him. With such a bad complexion, he seldom spoke or moved. It was the first time he met him, and he didn't know what the other person was going to do.

Xie Xin took out the note, opened it and took a look. It said, "Altair in the distance, a Han girl in the Jiaojiao River, full of water, speechless."

Xie Xin remembered the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The person who separated the two was the Queen Mother. Now, it was Fa Hai who stopped him from holding the lantern.

So, Fa Hai is the Queen Mother?

Words such as ruthless stick hitting mandarin ducks and other words popped up. Thinking of this, Xie Xindun felt amused, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly.

Fa Hai looked at the smiling young man for a while, and said, "Are you so happy?"

"Fahai, you almost turned into a wicked woman. Thanks to me, I stopped the lamp in time, otherwise I would have answered the girl's words." Xie Xin took out a pen, wrote a few strokes, and then stuffed the note into the lantern. .

The freed lanterns went down with the water again, carrying two passages of words and drifting leisurely.

Xie Xin sat down again and found that Fa Hai's face was still ashen.

But this time, he couldn't hold back, and raised his hand to cover his purple lips.

After all, it was the boat lady who saw too many guests, so she asked, "Is Master seasick?"

"..."

Xie Xin thought, this should be the default.

The boat stopped by the shore, and Xie Xin still paid the full fare, saying it was to reward the boat lady for the boat songs.

Turning around, Fa Hai was sitting on a piece of dead wood with his eyes closed, but he seemed to have calmed down, and his complexion improved a lot.

"Since you're seasick, tell me sooner. I'm still surprised that you shouldn't be so irritable. It turns out that your body feels unwell." Xie Xin stood in front of Fahai, and with a thought, a cool breeze lingered around Fahai, continuously blowing Send fresh air around the person.

Fa Hai could feel the coolness, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Xie Xin shook his head and looked around again.This place is a grove with no village in the front and no shops in the back. Looking around, there are no people and lights, and the voices of people on the other side are far away.

"Since we are here, we will walk along the river for a while, and we will always meet a bridge." Xie Xin muttered to himself, but Fa Hai stood up.

"never mind?"

"I'm familiar with the road in this area, follow me." Fa Hai had recovered his usual expression, and started to lead the way. Xie Xin saw that he was walking steadily, and he must have almost recovered, so he raised his heel to follow.

The boat lady left them a lantern. Xie Xin's ghost eyes had phosphorus fire, and he could see things clearly in the dark, and the moon was bright in the sky, but the forest was shaded, so he kept this lantern to serve Fa Hai.

"It's a bit remote here, how do you know?" Watching Fahai lead him around, bypassing small trees and shrubs, it seemed like a wandering, but it really allowed Fahai to find a way.

On the peaceful grassland, the moonlight fell on the white pebbles, and a white path appeared among the green grass, with a pearl-like soft light, no one would be mistaken.

"I have spent more than ten years in Jinshan, and I have been to all the places around here." Fahai didn't turn his head, he lifted a branch, and revealed a new scene.

"I would still believe it if I walked through the streets, but this is no man's land, you will come too?" Xie Xin's curiosity came, how could he spare the other party lightly, "This forest is not big or small, but It happens to be connected to the foot of Jinshan Mountain, and the plants in the forest grow vigorously. If you don’t come here for a short time, the situation here will change. How much “heart” do you need to be able to grasp the road in this forest so thoroughly?”

Farhay paused, then turned around and said, "I used to come here often when I was a child."

"Oh?" Xie Xin waited for the next sentence.

"There are not many people of the same age in the temple. Occasionally I feel bored, and I will sneak down the mountain to play with the children in the town. Naturally, it is not easy to go through the main entrance at that time, so I come out from the road behind the mountain." Fa Hai recalled his childhood events. He pointed it out, "I see that the vegetation has withered and flourished for five years, and the law is already clear in my heart. When and what plants will look like, I can find the way with a little flexibility."

Xie Xin listened, and said in a strange tone: "So you also had a childhood."

"Ok?"

"I always thought you were an elm with a mind full of discipline and rules since you were a child." Xie Xin's venomous tongue came up again, and he teased Fa Hai fluently.

Fahai didn't get angry, and after a while, he seemed to think of something: "You'an?"

"Ah?" Xie Xin was stunned.

"I seem to have heard it last time, they will call you You'an." Fa Hai looked at Xie Xin, "Is this your name?"

"Oh, yes." Xie Xin raised his hand and looked at the posture, as if he wanted to fan himself, but his hand was empty, and in the end, he could only hang down awkwardly and put it behind his back.

"Does this... have any meaning? It seems to be related to your childhood." Fa Hai thinks that this name is like a kind of prayer.

"Well, that's probably what it means. I hope that my childhood will be peaceful and happy." Xie Xin answered vaguely, and after a while, his tone changed sharply, "However, I just don't like it very much."

"When I was young, I was naughty. When I was five or six years old, I would think that the koi in the lake were beautiful. I didn't care if I raised my sleeves and went down to catch them. As a result, I fell into it and almost didn't come up. My father felt that I was uneasy, so I named you An. , I hope I will be more peaceful, and don’t end up in a self-inflicted crime.” The young man in white recalled that long-ago event, the comfortable childhood that was already blurred in his memory, “Thanks to him, my childhood was smooth sailing and unhindered..."

At the end, he laughed again, extremely sarcastic: "It's a pity that the title is not good, hard—hard work, hard work, I will not live in peace in the days to come."

There is a Xin in the name and the word You'an. This combination is like a prophecy, which troubled Xie Xin. It made him grow up peacefully and happily in his childhood, but in the days to come, he suffered infinitely and toiled endlessly.

Fa Hai stared at the young man in white under the moonlight, his hard heart felt as if he had been knocked on, and he sincerely hoped to enter if there was something, gentle and undeniable.

"It won't last forever." Fa Hai looked at Xie Xin with burning eyes, "karma will eventually come to an end, if you let it go, then everything will end."

Xie Xin put away his smile, his eyes were filled with emotions: "That's another matter."

That night, it rained heavily.

The pattering rain continued to fall until the next day, the sky was still gloomy and the sun could not be seen.

When Xie Xin walked out of the room, he found a paper umbrella beside the door.

He ignored it and walked into the yard.

Little raindrops were falling, and he heard the sound of rain hitting some kind of ceramic container, so he turned behind the locust tree.

On the ground, there is a flat white porcelain fish tank with a few Yuhua stones and emerald green lotus leaves floating on the water.

Below, two bright red koi wagging their tails, swimming leisurely, touching the surface of the water from time to time, bulging their cheeks, and spit out a bubble.

Xie Xin watched silently. In the heavy rain, his clothes gradually got wet.
