Clam Pearl

In the dark and desolate sky, there is a bright moon hanging. Because there are no stars to accompany, the moon looks very lonely.

A few gusts of winter wind brushed away the black clouds, and finally a star shyly and hesitantly appeared above the crescent moon, helping it to help the lonely starry sky tonight.

Look around carefully, look at the face of your master for a while, and look at the unlucky monk over there.Bi Liangli glared at him, Xizai hurriedly held up the lantern, and looked down at the square bricks on the ground.

Ah Run was still hesitant. After they looked at each other for a long time, he came over holding the oil lamp and holding the light with one hand, and did not express the admiration of the indigenous people for Gu Zhaocai's post-2000 humor. Distressed, so he said:

"You're crazy on such a cold day."

After finishing speaking, he helped Gu Zhao into his room. The room was cold and cold. The scriptures just written tonight were piled up in a pile, and there were still unfinished scriptures on the table. I arranged a big project by myself, I'm afraid I want to kill myself to finish the job.

Sitting on the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar felt mat, Gu Zhao heaved a long sigh of relief, his feet could no longer support him.

Bi Liangli and Xizai delivered the food box together, Gu Zhao waved his hand, and they extinguished the lantern, and went to the empty room where Gu Zhao used to live to keep warm.The boarding house in the temple should not be locked if no one is staying, so that the monks are benevolent and righteous, and it is quite convenient to come in and go out.

With the sound of closing the door, the room reflected by an oil lamp trembled in darkness. Ah Run came in and stood in the corner, unable to see his expression or speak clearly.

Gu Zhao himself was also embarrassed. He lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that no matter what, he was the older one. When he came out, he took the initiative to greet: "Ah Run, come here, this is a delicacy I just made in my small kitchen. It's all southern taste. You can try it."

It took a while for Ah Run to come over and sit upright, with his mouth open, and after searching for a tune for a long time, he asked him, "Why don't you watch the New Year with your family?"

Gu Zhao shook his head indifferently, and said in a playful tone: "My brother's family is full of people, and their seniority is so old. I don't know how much money I will have to spend to survive the new year. You think I want to, I just rely on a few acres of farmland Promising, poor jingle, need to hide, Ah Run is merciful, please pity me."

Ah Run pursed his lips, thought for a while and finally smiled. He nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll stay with Potzi, and I don't need you to give us New Year's money... Before, I was in my family, and I was very senior. Headache, don't know what to give, they are satisfied."

Um?This was the first time Ah Run talked about his home, and Gu Zhao also laughed, and didn't ask further. The abyss behind the mountain was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. He only loved plum blossoms, but he didn't want to look down into the abyss.If Ah Run felt sorry for himself, he would not bring himself into the ditch, what should he tell himself, he should... know better than himself?

It's always delicious to have someone to accompany me to eat, Gu Zhao is very diligent in persuading him to drink, Ah Run even offers to help Gu Zhao with food, and so on, a meal is full of affection and sweetness, and I don't know how to eat it, He ate it unknowingly, and there was nothing left. He ate a lot of pork belly, which Gu Zhao didn't like usually.

After dinner, Ah Run and Gu Zhao sat on the mat and chatted. At first, they were a little embarrassed with each other, but wine is a good thing. If you drink too much, the moon will be hazy and the birds will be hazy. They talked a lot, um, Buddhist stories, um , food, and southern customs, we chatted until we had nothing to say.

Sitting together stupidly looking at the moonlight, Ah Run hadn’t celebrated the New Year with anyone like this for a long, long time, he was extremely satisfied and grateful, Gu Zhao’s feet were swollen again, Ah Run felt that he had never given Ah Zhao Anything, to repay him for his kindness.Anyway, he held Gu Zhao's feet in his arms without any shyness at all, and massaged him with medicine. He didn't feel his feet smelly at all, but Gu Zhao was a little embarrassed, and his stupid heart trembled.

Ah Run thought while pressing, this is what he has been all his life, it's just that Potzi will depend on his elder brother to live in the future, if one day his elder brother who loves him goes away, it will happen that he will die in vain.Who in the world will love him again?He is so stupid, he never uses his brain when doing things, and he is afraid that he will be bullied if he has no one to rely on, so what should he do?

I originally thought that this life would pass like this, that there would be no one if there was no pity, and no one if there was no love, but...who would have thought that by coincidence, there would be Gu Zhao in the world.

Twisted in his heart, he thought of thousands of thoughts, Ah Run's indulgence was still very inappropriate and suddenly asked Gu Zhao: "What wish does Basin have?"

Gu Zhao's thoughts were still wandering, and he pretended not to care about it very silly. After thinking for a while, Gu Zhao shook his head: "No."

"How can there be no? Everyone in the world wants to go up to the ladder. Don't you want to go up? The overwhelming wealth, the feeling of power over the world. Just say what you want, and I will die." Even if I die, I will protect you..."

Gu Zhao was in a daze for a moment, and then dared to look straight at Ah Run who was rubbing his feet. He sized him up for a while, then gave him a contemptuous look and scolded him: "You monk, how can you talk about common things."

Ah Run chuckled, and his hands became more gentle: "Tonight, I drank the wine and ate the meat soup, and the real monks have become fake monks. It's just a occasion to say a few words about the secular world, but Ah Zhao is too kind to me, okay , I don’t even know what to do.”

Gu Zhao was a little thirsty, so he added some tea by himself, drank a few sips, and tapped his mouth, well, I drank too much today, let’s go down the mountain, so he said softly: "Ah Run was thinking too much, I thought, I If you want it, no one else will think about it, and you won’t want it, it’s not like Run wants to talk about such a topic, so don’t bring it up again in the future.”

Ah Run was stunned for a while, with a shy face and fear in his heart. He didn't know how he had offended Potzi. He just wanted to treat him well and protect him. Thinking of this, he admitted his mistake with a wry smile: "Okay, I was wrong. Don't mention it again, don't be angry...don't go, okay?"

Gu Zhao shook his head, pressed his hand and sighed: "How could that be! I'm not angry. Ah Run just doesn't know how to deal with people. Ah Run is just too kind. If someone treats you kindly, you want to repay it."

He looked up, looked at those eyes that always suppressed his emotions, and said seriously: "Arun, I treat you well because Arun treats me well, and what you give me is because you have done your best." , the best one you have, just like that piece of plum blossom. You listen carefully, I will never say this again in the future, you must remember it for the rest of your life.”

Ah Run nodded seriously: "Say it."

Gu Zhao swallowed his spit, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Zhao's fate is good. He was born in a wealthy family in this empire. Although his parents were poor, he never suffered a single day of crime. Zhao is content and cherishes blessings. Zhao is a fool. , I don’t know how to cook tea, I don’t know music, I don’t know poetry, I don’t know how to sing, and I don’t know the time. Now… I like a monk who is preparing… Ah Run, if I had an idea, I wouldn’t come to look for it You, you think too much, Ah Zhao has nothing to ask for, the only thing he wants is... to be with the person he likes in this life, you look at me, I look at you, An Ansheng's life is enough."

Ah Run pondered for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Azhao...I..."

Gu Zhao stood up, walked a few steps drunk, and nodded with a sneer: "I know, I know...you don't have to explain, it's not your fault, you have to believe me, one day, I will take good care of you, you Believe me." Gu Zhao thought, isn't it just stealing someone, and one day, when he finds out what's going on, he looks for the famous thief in the rivers and lakes, steals Ah Run out, and then they go to the south together. Never come back, how hard can it be?

A Run sighed: "A Zhao is always so transparent." But he thought in his heart, in this world, everything can be let go, but now he can't let go, A Zhao is so good and kind, I can't keep it in the future If I live with him, he will live alone in desolation. What should I do to repay his love for me.

Thinking of this, Ah Run walked over and hugged Gu Zhao. Suddenly, like thunder, Gu Zhao was stunned.

I don't know how long it took, but a gust of wind blew in the yard, and Gu Zhao shuddered: "Hey, I should go, otherwise, brother will look for me."

Ah Run let go of Gu Zhao, and looked at him reluctantly.

Gu Zhao stretched out his hand and gently touched his face and sighed: "Don't worry, everything will be fine, really, you have to believe me."

Ah Run nodded: "I believe you."

Gu Zhao laughed, this is not belief, this is blind obedience, okay? He shook his head helplessly, pushed open the door, and Bi Liangli and the others came over from there, and this time, Gu Zhao obediently lay on Bi Liangli's back , and then turned around and told Ah Run:

"Don't worry, you have to believe me, really, you have to stay safe and secure, take care of yourself, really... I mean, I know that the buns have stuffing, but you don't know, you keep eating, I’m going to be exhausted and still eating. I’m different. I just wait there and watch. Anyway, the stuffing will be eaten sooner or later, so I don’t participate, just watch. Compared with you, I have a lot less fun. However, I always know that I will go to that step, so if you ask me to believe in me, I always have my way, really, I know you can't understand what I say, but you must carry it, endure it, Wait, one day... you have to trust me, and you can't just think that I drink too much."

Ah Run couldn't help but pat him on the back: "You already drank too much."

Gu Zhao sneered and waved his hand: "Don't give it away."

Ah Run still wanted to see him off, and even sent him a long way. When he left the mountain gate, Ah Run asked him, "Ah Zhao really...doesn't want anything from me?"

Gu Zhao blinked his eyes, um... Think of it as a drunken talk, he turned to look at him, there was a layer of paper, and he didn't dare to barrel it, but this fake monk stabbed him, he smiled and said to A Run: "Guess, I beg or not ?”

"Please!" Ah Run said in a very normal tone, very calmly.

Gu Zhao laughed again, turned his head and said to A Run: "Fake monk, it's not good to swear, 'ball' is really not a good word! Then add a day in front, 'day ball' will be harmonized, um, harmonious and terrible, Walking sideways will definitely be wiped out, you must not learn... But next year, my feet will still rot."

Ah Run didn't understand, his face was full of disappointment, but he was relieved, he was very sad, but he smiled, maybe he only spoke soft words this time in his life, but from just now until now, Ah Zhao has been clouded and has not responded to him.

Even though he was disappointed, Ah Run still held the lantern high and sent Ah Zhao down the mountain with a wry smile.

Later, someone scolded him not far from the foot of the mountain: "Fool! Next year...my foot is rotten, so I can come to the mountain to accompany you!"

At that moment, Ah Run's heart was in full bloom, not a single bud was left.

Watching the man go down the mountain, Ah Run's heart was filled with honey, almost overflowing with sweetness. After watching for a long time, until the lantern was nowhere to be seen, Ah Run asked in a flat tone: "Teacher, how long ago was it?" Is that what you said?"

Master Huiyi stood up out of nowhere, clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness knows that this old monk never speaks nonsense in his life..."
