Clam Pearl

When Xue He was rich, he donated ten guan to the temple as soon as he raised his hand. His food box became two layers, but he didn't like to eat it. He just took the boy named Que Nu down the mountain every day, maybe for the sake of face. , He also bought a new Gema cotton coat for Que Nu, and took it out to parties every day, got up early and returned late, and sometimes did not return.Sometimes when he returned, he would chatter about things that Gu Zhao didn't like to hear, such as what famous people he had met in the city.

Gu Zhao could imagine who Xue He hangs out with every day, and those people are obviously the type of people Gu Zhao dislikes the most, literati.Such a good friend who was originally a good friend became a little unfamiliar.

On this day, Xue He went to meet famous people in the city again. Gu Zhao got up early and peeled the leftover pancake crumbs in the yard to feed the sparrows by himself. I don't believe this, but Gu Zhao still uses this method to deal with the leftovers, so he can feel more comfortable.The stomach of a sparrow is also a stomach, so it is not considered a crime.

There are no famous birds on this mountain, and it is winter, and there are groups of sparrows. These sparrows are treated preferentially in the temple and are not afraid of people. They often fly around to compete with monks for food. When the slag was thrown on the ground, it gushed down and ate happily.

After feeding the two pieces of pancakes, the sparrow flew away, Gu Zhao bowed his head, suddenly embarrassed, seeing a lot of sparrow feathers and feces on the ground, Gu Zhao was ashamed, it seemed that Ah Run was in charge of the hygiene of the yard.

Sure enough, not a moment later, there was the sound of sweeping the floor behind him, Gu Zhao turned his face, blushing and apologized: "I'm sorry, Arun, I'll call for the sweeper."

Ah Run smiled, and said indifferently: "It's my job." A gust of mountain wind blew, and the corners of Ah Run's monk robe were blown up, and the pants inside the robe were stretched out of his legs by the wind. Looks like Ah Run doesn't wear much.

Gu Zhao was even more embarrassed. Ah Run was no stranger than him. He had to do a lot of work every day. After morning classes, he would go to the back mountain to carry [-] loads of water, copy scriptures in the morning, and clean the main hall after finishing his work. , Wipe the Buddha statue, go back to eat after work, still can't rest, and clean up the residual leaves and garbage in the back mountain in the afternoon.The most vulgar monks on this mountain live better than Ah Run.

The monks on this mountain, Gu Zhao was very curious why Ah Run had to do so much hard work. He asked the Zhike monk, and the Zhike monk also had a wry smile on his face.He just put his palms together and muttered quietly: "Benefactor, this is the Imperial Temple."

That's right, this is the Imperial Temple. Thinking about it, there are always things that Gu Zhao shouldn't know. If you know you shouldn't ask, don't ask. However, Gu Zhao still feels distressed, really.

In his previous life, in this life, Gu Zhao has never had such a strong feeling, wanting to protect someone, to pamper someone, this kind of sour and sweet, when he thinks about it, his heart feels like With a sharp stab like a needle tip, every cell in my body shrinks, making my heart ache.Feeling so depressed that I can’t get out of breath, I wish I was also a little monk, staying with this person on this mountain for the rest of my life, doing nothing, sitting in front of the Buddha with a scripture in my hand every day, suffering hardships together, occasionally looking If you are facing each other, you are willing to die if you only face Sha Le.

Gu Zhao tried to use money to buy some people to help Ah Run, but unfortunately, none of the monks on the two hills dared to reach out to accept the money or help, some even ran away quickly when they saw Gu Zhao turn around, and just ran away. Like a wolf behind you.

Limping back to the house, Gu Zhao let out a few long breaths. Seeing that the master was unhappy, he hurried to the yard to help clean it. Unfortunately, no matter how he helped, he cleaned it once, and Ah Run added another Doubling, helping again can only increase Ah Run's burden.There was no other way, Xixie went back to the room and shook his head, expressing that he had no choice.

Gu Zhao was so angry that he wanted to beat the wall with his hands, but he was afraid of pain, and he didn't dare to stamp his feet, so he could only lie on the window and look out.

After cleaning the courtyard, Ah Run broke out in sweat. He raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, raised his face and smiled at Gu Zhao who was lying on the window sill and looking at him with distressed expression. He also blinked his eyes quietly.

Gu Zhao suddenly felt sore again, he turned back and said to Xizai, "Go, bring the hot boiling water to Master Arun, and tell him not to wipe himself with cold water, because the cracks will be blown out by the wind carefully."

Xizai nodded, and went to Ah Run's room with a big copper pot in each hand. When he got there, he didn't dare to enter the room, but put the pot at the door and whispered: "Master Ah Run, this is You just scald the boiling water carefully."

Ah Run thanked him in the house, went out and brought water into the house, and put the empty pot at the door after a while.

Hearing the sound of closing the door over there, Gu Zhao hurriedly asked Xizai to take a look. After a while, Xizai entered the room with an empty pot and smiled. He opened the lid of the pot and showed it to Gu Zhao. The ten boiled eggs in the pot were gone. up.

A few days ago, Gu Zhao discovered that Ah Run couldn’t get enough to eat. His so-called six-layer food box contained nothing more than a bowl of coarse rice and a few pieces of pickles, but he used such a good food box to send them in every day. In Ah Run's room, this was another mystery.

In a blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and Gu Zhao's feet got better. He could lose his crutches and put them in his shoes, so he didn't need to wear them anymore.He misses his home very much, and what he misses most is meat. Unfortunately, the old monk forbids him to go down the mountain. He gestures and says that the roots are not broken. If he goes down, he will commit the crime again next year.

"I really want to eat meat!!!!!!!" Gu Zhao suddenly shouted at the main hall of the temple, startling countless sparrows.

Yesterday he sent people down the mountain, but the mountain said that the roots had not been cut off, and asked Qi Ye to accept his thoughts of going home and stay on the mountain obediently. When he came back, his sister-in-law brought a lot of food, but unfortunately, there was still no meat.

Gu Zhao sighed here, Ah Run stood at the door watching him smile, and after laughing, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over to him and asked, "Where are you and the others?" It's getting better, the originally white and bloodless face is now a little rosy.

"I asked them to go down the mountain to steal food. I can't eat it, and I can't make everyone around me suffer together."

Ah Run frowned and looked at him, afraid that he would be sad, so he lowered his head and sighed softly: "Well... I want to eat it too, but I haven't eaten it for eight years." After speaking, she blinked her beautiful eyes mischievously, and her eyelashes fluttered. Like cattail fan.

Gu Zhaoru was struck by lightning, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet: "Hey... I'm sorry... I forgot that you are going to become a monk."

Ah Run still smiled indifferently, walked up to him, squatted down with his back to him, and said, "Come up?"

"Ah? What are you doing?" Gu Zhao was dumbfounded.

"I know a good place, I'll take you to play games." Ah Run urged him.

Gu Zhao looked around, his heart fluttered, the elephant danced, looked at the back, it was like a magnet, he still fell on Ah Run's back by a strange coincidence, after climbing up, his heart was beating like a drum, thumping He couldn't stop jumping, afraid that Ah Run would feel like laughing at him, so he had no choice but to cover his heart and wrap his arm around his shoulder.

Ah Run's back is broad and warm, not as weak as he appears on the surface, he walks very steadily, step by step as if there is a solid foundation on the soles of his feet.Ah Run is very fragrant, with a scent of Buddha, faintly indistinct, and also has a skin fragrance, which is clear and penetrating.

Gu Zhao didn't dare to speak, and lay down motionless.

After leaving the small courtyard, passing through some ruined temple houses, they turned left and right and came to a two-step-wide path. Gu Zhao looked around. Although he didn't see plum blossoms here, he could already smell the fragrance of plum blossoms. The fragrance is really nice, refreshing and cool, and the fresh and fresh strands seem to penetrate into the heart, just like the feeling of Arun.

After walking for a while, it suddenly became clear that this was a highland. In front of the highland was a mountain stream, more than ten feet or even wider. Looking down the mountain stream, it was pitch black. I don’t know where the bottom of the cliff is. Looking around, there are plum trees in full bloom.

The plum blossom forest was quietly blooming, just like tens of thousands of pink rouge were pushed away by those hands without knowing it, and scattered here, there was no green leaf, just clusters of flowers.

Gu Zhao was stunned, Lala Arun's clothes said anxiously: "Let's go down the mountain! Go down the mountain and take a closer look."

Ah Run put him on the rock and sat down, touched his head, and said with a gentle smile, "A Zhao can go, but Ah Run cannot."

Gu Zhao still didn't understand, but he didn't ask, but his heart was very distressed. Many things, like a thread rolled into a mess, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand. He couldn't ask deeply, because Ah Run didn't want to talk about it. , they sat side by side, looking at Merlin in the distance.

"Looking here, it's much more beautiful than looking up close."

"Oh...en."

"Thank you, Run."

"Um……?"

"Arun... how old is... this year?"

"25 years old."

"Hey? Don't believe me! Looks younger than me, Ah Run is a monk, and a monk... don't lie."

"Heh...really, I'm 25, and I'm going to be 26 soon."

Gu Zhao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smelled the beautiful scenery greedily. Ah Run looked at him sideways. In fact... Ah Zhao is also beautiful, but he just doesn't admit it.Just look at him and he'll be angry.

The light from the top of the cliff cast a layer of white on Gu Zhao's cheeks. His pores are very fine, his skin is very fair, and his expression is soft and kind.

Ah Run's mind moved, and he couldn't help but feel angry. If... If only he could be with A Zhao forever, be with A Zhao forever, sit here and watch the plum blossoms, watch the sun and the moon change, even if he died, he would be willing of.

Ah Zhao's closed eyes suddenly opened one to look at him: "Look at me, look at plum blossoms!"

Ah Run laughed and pinched his face. Gu Zhao hid with a giggle, picked up a ball of snow and stuffed it into Ah Run's collar. Ah Run didn't hide, but just supported him: "Don't fall, go down It's messed up."

Gu Zhao looked at the bottom of the cliff, stuck out his tongue, and shivered.

That night, Ah Run could no longer quietly copy Buddhist scriptures. He even extravagantly lit a pair of yellow candles, took a flying fish pot and a plain sunflower wine glass from the cabinet, and poured the wine that Gu Zhao gave him. Pour yourself to drink.

Anyone who knows the goods will be surprised to see his jug and wine glass at this moment, because this flying fish pot is worth a thousand guan at the foot of the mountain.

Little snowflakes are falling in the sky again, but Ah Zhao is not in the room, his feet are not good, but he likes to run around, always running to the front to tease the monk, there is no one on this mountain who doesn't like him, even Master Huiyi, always She looked at him and smiled, and gestured quietly to tell Ah Run that Ah Zhao had great wisdom.

There is great wisdom there?Just get up early every day and yell at the hall?What... the sea! ! ! !You are all water!In the temple!Are they all bald donkeys?

Ah Run never thought that Ah Zhao had great wisdom, he was self-willed like a child, a cute child, a child who makes people want to hold him in his arms and take care of him carefully.

If Gu Zhao knew that Ah Run thought of him so much, his old face would turn red with embarrassment. For some reason, he was treated like a teenager, and he was somewhat childish.It's just that he himself didn't realize it, and occasionally he was good at being a teacher.

At this moment, he was also thinking, how good Ah Run is, such a gentle person should be kept at home and cared for, and such a good person should be held in his arms and loved well.

After a few glasses of wine, Ah Run was a little drunk, so he covered the charcoal fire and spread out the quilt to sleep.The bamboo charcoal A Zhao gave him was very fragrant, which he liked best, so he only used a few sticks every night.

After the red charcoal was burnt and turned into fine ash, Ah Run dimly turned off the light and lay down, but there were small footsteps in the yard, and then someone came towards the door here, and Ah Zhao greeted him with a full smile Voice.

"Arun, come out!"

Ah Run smiled and didn't want to move, so he lay down under the quilt and refused, "I have an early class tomorrow, and I'm already asleep."

The voice outside the door didn't care, and begged in a showy tone: "Come out, look at me, I have something good for you."

Ah Run laughed, so he got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

It was cloudy and hazy outside the door, and there was a layer of freshly laid snow on the ground with a faint tinge of whiteness.

Ah Zhao lay on Xizai's back, holding a large branch of plum blossoms in his hand and smiled at him: "Ah Run can't go to see the plum blossoms, so I brought them for you!"

How long has it been, how long has no one thought about him like this, Ah Run didn't speak, he was afraid that if he said it, his voice would be strange, so he could only stand and stare at that branch of plum blossom, how beautiful the plum blossom was, There is not a single flower bud, but it is a blooming one.
