Smiling Proud Floating Life

Watermelon, but there was no one around, thinking: "This watermelon is the owner's property, how can I just steal it from others?" Quickly walked out of Lixu, but there was no one there, not even a farmhouse, so I had to go again He retreated, stood in the melon field, hesitated for a while, stretched out his hands to pick the melons, then retracted, remembering the precepts taught by his master, and when he was about to retreat, Linghu Chong's face with parched lips appeared in his mind again. Gritting his teeth, clasped his hands together, and secretly prayed: "The Bodhisattva will learn from you, this disciple dares not to steal intentionally. It's because of Linghu... Brother Linghu wants to eat watermelon." The eight words are not a great reason. I was so anxious that tears welled up in my eyes. I held a watermelon with both hands, and when I lifted it up, the stalk of the melon broke. Hell, suffering forever in reincarnation, but so what? I, Yilin, broke the precepts, and this has nothing to do with Brother Linghu." Picking up the watermelon, he returned to Linghu Chong's side.

Linghu Chong never pays attention to the worldly etiquette and dogma. Hearing Yilin said that she wants to beg for melons from others, she only knows that this nun is young and ignorant, but she never thought that in order to pick this watermelon, she would have many battles in her heart. How aggrieved, seeing her come back after picking the watermelon, she was overjoyed, and praised: "Good junior sister, such a good little girl." Yilin suddenly heard her call herself that, her heart was shocked, she almost dropped the watermelon, and hurriedly copied it. Pull up the skirt and wrap it around.Linghu Chong laughed and said, "Why are you so flustered? You stole watermelons, and someone wants to catch you?" Yilin blushed again, and said, "No, no one caught me." She sat down slowly.

At that time, the sky was clear and the sun was rising from the east. The place where Linghu Chong and her were sitting was in the shade of the mountain, and the sun could not shine on it.

Yilin regained her composure, pulled out the broken sword at her waist, saw where the sword head was broken, and thought to herself: "Tian Boguang, this villain's martial arts are so good, if brother Linghu hadn't sacrificed his life to save him that day, how could I be peaceful now? Sit here?" Seeing Linghu Chong's sunken eyes and no blood on his face at a glance, he thought to himself that he wanted to repay his kindness, so he ignored the uneasiness in his heart after breaking the precept, wiped the broken sword clean with the lapel of his clothes, and then cut open the watermelon. When it was opened, a fragrance came out.

Linghu Chong sniffed it a few times, and shouted: "What a melon!" Then he said: "Junior sister, I remembered a joke. This year's Lantern Festival, when our teachers gathered to drink, Lingshan junior sister came up with a lantern riddle, saying: 'There is a melon on the left. Little dog, there is a fool on the right', type a word. At that time, sitting on her left was my sixth junior brother Lu Dayou, the same junior who came into the house last night to look for me. I was sitting on her right." Yilin smiled and said: "She came up with this riddle to make fun of you and Senior Brother Lu." Linghu Chong said: "Yes, this riddle is not difficult to guess, it is the word 'fox' from my Linghu Chong. She said It's an old joke, I read it from the book. It's rare that the sixth junior brother is sitting on her left, and I'm sitting on her right. It's also a coincidence that beside me at the moment, there is another puppy here, here A big melon." He pointed to the watermelon and then to her, smiling.

Yilin smiled and said: "Okay, you go around and call me a puppy." Cut the watermelon into pieces, picked out the seeds, and handed a piece to her.Linghu Chong took a bite and felt his mouth full of sweetness, so he finished it in a few bites.Seeing that she was eating happily, Yilin was very happy, and saw that she was eating melon lying on her back with the juice dripping from her lapel, so she cut the second piece of watermelon into small pieces and handed them to her hand, one piece at a time. , the juice will no longer flow onto the clothes.Seeing that she ate a few pieces, every time she reached out to pick them up, she couldn't help stretching her arms to stretch the wound, so she couldn't bear it, so she fed small pieces of watermelon into her mouth.

Linghu Chong ate half of a watermelon, only to remember that Yilin hadn't eaten a bite, and said, "Eat some yourself." Yilin said, "I'll eat when you've had enough." Linghu Chong said, "I've had enough, you Let's eat!" Yilin felt thirsty early on, so she fed Linghu Chong a few more pieces, and then put a small piece of watermelon into her mouth, seeing Linghu Chong staring at her, she became shy, turned around, and turned her back to her.

Linghu Chong suddenly praised: "Ah, it's so beautiful!" His tone was full of appreciation.Yilin was so ashamed, she was praised so suddenly, she wanted to stand up and run away, but she couldn't make up her mind for a moment, she felt fever all over her body, her head and neck were flushed with shame.

Only to hear Linghu Chong say again: "Look, how beautiful! Did you see it?" Yilin turned slightly, saw her pointing at Xishou, followed her finger, and saw a rainbow in the distance, stretching out from behind the tree. When it came out, the colorful colors were changing and gorgeous, only then did she realize that when she said "it's so beautiful", she was referring to this rainbow, and just now she might have misunderstood it, so she couldn't help but feel ashamed again.It's just that there is a slight disappointment in the shame at this time, which is quite different from the previous feeling of shyness and secret joy.

Linghu Chong said: "Listen carefully, did you hear it?" Yilin listened carefully, but she heard the faint sound of running water coming from the rainbow, and said, "It seems to be a waterfall." It has been raining for a few days, there must be waterfalls everywhere in the mountains, let's go and have a look." Yilin said: "You... you'd better lie down quietly for a while longer." Linghu Chong said: "This place is full of bare rocks, nothing The scenery is beautiful, it is better to go to see the waterfall.”

Yilin couldn't bear to touch her, so she helped her to stand up, and suddenly, a blush flashed across her face, she insisted on going to the waterfall, could it be... could it be... While hesitating, she saw Linghu Chong She had already picked up a broken branch, propped it on the ground, and walked forward slowly, Yilin hurriedly snatched it, stretched out her hand to hold Linghu Chong's arm, feeling guilty and sad at the same time: "What's wrong with me? Master Fox... Senior sister is obviously a woman and an upright gentleman, so I'm so distracted and think in a crooked way. It's always like being alone with a man, and my heart is always on guard. Alas, if, if she is the same as Tian Boguang It’s a man, it’s also a heaven and an underground, how can it be compared?”

Although Linghu Chong's gait was unsteady, he was able to support himself.After walking for a while, she saw a big rock. Yilin helped her to go there, sat down to rest, and said, "This place is not bad, do you want to go to see the waterfall?" Let's take a look here with you for a while." Yilin said: "Okay. The scenery over there is beautiful, you will feel happy when you look at it, and the wound will heal faster." Linghu Chong smiled and stood up.

The two of them slowly turned around a mountain depression, and then heard the sound of roaring water. After walking for a while, the sound of water became louder, and saw a waterfall like a white dragon pouring down from the mountain wall.Linghu Chong said happily: "There is also a waterfall on the side of the Yunv Peak in my Huashan Mountain. It is bigger than this one, but its shape is similar. Junior sister Lingshan and I often practice swords beside the waterfall. Sometimes she gets naughty and even gets into the waterfall."

Yilin heard her mention "Junior Sister Lingshan" for the second time, and she suddenly realized: "She was seriously injured, she must come to the waterfall, not necessarily to enjoy the scenery, but to miss her Junior Sister Lingshan?" I don't know. How, a sudden pain in the heart, like a heavy blow.Linghu Chong said again: "One time when she was practicing sword beside the waterfall, she slipped and almost fell into the deep pool below. Fortunately, I grabbed her. That time was really dangerous."

Yilin asked lightly: "Do you have many junior sisters?" Linghu Chong said: "Apart from me, there are seven female disciples in my Huashan sect. Junior sister Lingshan is the daughter of the master, and we all call her little junior sister. The other six They are all disciples accepted by the master." Yilin said: "Well, so she is the young lady of Master Yue. She...she...she and you get along well, right?" Linghu Chong sat down slowly, and said: " I am an orphan without a father and mother. I was accepted by my teacher and my wife 15 years ago. At that time, my junior sister was only three years old. I was much older than her. I often took her out to pick wild fruits and catch rabbits. She and I I grew up together. It’s funny to say that I was always alone before I entered Huashan, and no one looked at me carefully, and no one dressed me up. Of course, no one mentioned my gender. At that time Street orphans, most of them look the same, disheveled and shabby, they didn't ask, and I don't know what to say, they were raised as boys for a long time in such a muddle. Haha." Thinking of those funny things, Linghu Chong said Then he laughed twice, and said again, "Master and mother have no sons, and they treated me like their own son. Even if I found out later, I was a girl, and they treated me the same. But master, I was complained by my wife for a long time. , haha, but I dare not laugh at him face to face..." She paused after laughing, then whispered, "Little Junior Sister...just wait for her to be my sister." Yilin responded, "Yes." After a while, he said: "I am also an orphan without father or mother. I was taken in by my mentor since I was a child, and I became a monk since I was a child."

Linghu Chong said: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Yilin turned her head to her, with a questioning look in her eyes.Linghu Chong said: "If you are not already under Master Dingyi's school, I can ask Master to accept you as a disciple. We have a large number of brothers and sisters, more than [-] people, and everyone is very lively. Once the homework is finished, we all go together Playing, master and mother don't care much. When you see my little junior sister, you must like her and will be good friends with her." Yilin said: "It's a pity that I don't have such good luck. But I am in Baiyun nunnery, master, The senior sisters have treated me very well, I... I... I am also very happy." Linghu Chong said: "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Uncle Dingyi's swordsmanship is superb, and my master and mother talked about each family. When it comes to the swordsmanship of each sect, I admire your master and her elders very much. Which Hengshan sect
