Let's follow the king, little master

Three times in his life, Li Mu and his father talked freely in the courtyard.The shadow of the moon was elongated, and the smoke continued to rise. Father's rough hand was holding the chimney, and his bearded face was looming in the smoke.

For the first time, Li Mu already knew that he was going to leave the village to go to the monastery. That night, Li's father, who was nervous, talked with Li Mu about his heart, but after all, it was a kind of love for such a young Li Mu. Oppression, because since then, Li Mu has held back his emotions, and his whole heart is like becoming a novice monk, although in the end Li Mu did get his wish.

As for the second time, when Li Mu just came back the night before yesterday, Li Mu knew that his father was no longer the same as before, and his brothers in the family had their own lives. After all, no matter how strong his father was, he would one day soften.Although Li's father was not weak, Li Mu knew that his father was old after all, but it was a pity that he could not be by his side.

And when Li Mu came out of the house and saw Father Li in the courtyard, he knew that Father Li must have something to say to him. Li Mu stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said:

"The benefactor." This sound is very alienated. In fact, Li Mu has never understood it. In Li Mu's view, parents are parents no matter what. Even monks are raised by their parents. Therefore, Li Mu always wanted to call him father , but Li Mu also knew that Li's father cared about these things, so he could only forcefully call his father a benefactor.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Father Li said, his voice was a little hoarse, maybe it was because he just woke up.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"Now that you're gone, I don't know when we'll see you again." Father Li said with a sigh.

"How does the benefactor know that the poor monk is leaving?" Li Mu asked, looking at his father's back in surprise.

"As a father, he may not be as gentle as a mother, but he always observes the child's movements." Father Li said as he stood up and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu lowered his head, with tears in his eyes, and then drops of tears dripped down like this, dripping onto the ground and soaking it all up.Father Li looked at Li Mu and said:

"I know that when you were young, you had been in contact with a young master from a rich family. I don't know who it is, but I knew that he came to see you on weekdays, but I suddenly remembered it. This is why I agreed to send you to the monastery. I have always I didn’t tell you. I think it’s my decision to finally agree to send you to the monastery, no matter what the reason is.”

"Father." Li Mu raised his head to look at Father Li, his eyes were wet with tears, and Father Li was blurred in his eyes, Li Mu said and knelt down on the ground.

"You." Father Li looked at Li Mu like this, and said, "Sure enough, that person has some influence on you, right?"

"Why?" Li Mu looked up at Father Li and asked, "Why didn't you stop me back then, since you knew all about it."

"But do you know how happy you were at that time, Mom?" Father Li looked at Li Mu and said, "I know that the fourth child doesn't like to play with you, so you play with Jingwen a lot, but to be honest, Jingwen is I like you, but it doesn't belong to you, Jingwen will be a wealthy person in the future, and her aunt is also looking forward to it." So I see you happy, so I do something.Sure enough, I was still doing it wrong. "

"Father is right."; Li Mu shook his head and said, it was me who accepted others' contributions but it was not like giving to myself. "Li Mu said.

"I can see that you are not happy now. I don't know about these things, but I wanted you to tell me even the slightest bit of information about that person. You just refused. Others don't believe your words, but I know you brought It was indeed given by others, but I don't want your mother to worry." Father Li said, "After all, I still did something wrong."

"That's right, Dad, you're right." Li Mu wiped away his tears and said, "I'm really happy. The happiest days in my life are the days when I'm by your side, with that person by my side."

"Actually, I can't accept it after all..." Father Li was about to speak when Li Mu interrupted him.

"You don't need to accept it." Li Mu looked at Father Li and said, "Father, I know, I understand, so you don't need to accept it. I am already very happy that you can tell me this. If you can't be a good monk, the only thing is that you can't be with you and your mother."

"We're fine, you've seen it too, the fourth child is safe by your mother's side, and I'll keep an eye on it. Don't worry." Father Li reassured Li Mu.

"Although I didn't understand before why you insisted on making me a monk, I understood but couldn't accept it, but I have always regarded you and my mother as my closest people. Now I accept it, and I will take this Let’s accept it together and do what a monk should do.”

Li Mu nodded his head at Father Li as he spoke.

"Get up." Li's father said to Li Mu. Seeing Li Mu stand up slowly, Li's father continued, "You, I was wrong before and forced you to do something. Now I don't Think about it this way again. After living for so long, many things are taken lightly. It’s just that you have to take care of yourself and follow the right path, and you’ll be fine.”

"Father." Li Mu looked at Father Li, not knowing what to say.

"Let's go quickly." Father Li said, "Since you have put on this monk's uniform, you can do what a monk should do, but you have to follow your heart. This Buddhist principle is not your weapon against things, but you have to remember it. If you want to take it off, you can take it off frankly."

"No." Li Mu shook his head and looked at his father and said.

"I'll talk about it later." Father Li said as he walked up to Li Mu, patted Li Mu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Let's go."

Li Mu didn't speak, but simply put his palms together and saluted Li Mu.All the livestock in the yard were sound asleep, and no one cared about the owner's affairs. Even if they were awake, they were still eating the few weeds left on the ground.

The lights in the house finally went out, Li Mu turned around and left, no matter how many times he was away from home, he couldn't get used to it, his parents were still old, but he still had to travel far, and couldn't be filial by his side.

Speaking of which, there are also monks who choose to return to secular life because of their old mothers or old fathers, but Li Mu knows that this matter may not happen to him. His father did not allow it before, but now, he has no choice.In the end, Li Mu embarked on the unknown path of parting.
