Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

In the early morning, the air in the mountains is fresh, the trees are still green, and unknown wild flowers are competing to bloom. When you calm down, you can still hear the sound of the spring water when the cicadas stop.

Lin Jue walked for a while, then stopped by the tree, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a happy smile.

At this time, Lin Jue had changed out of the robes that scholars were used to wearing, and was wearing monk's clothes. The usual gray color made him look elegant and suave.

Only then did Guanqi catch up, panting slowly, without even bothering to wipe off his sweat, he said: "The doctor said that your health is not yet fully recovered, lying on the bed for dozens of days will make you feel tired. Rest, why don't you listen?"

Lin Jue showed a playful smile: "It's just a little exercise, it's okay."

Guanqi secretly looked at Lin Jue's face, feeling okay, he summoned up his courage and said, "Why are you still addicted to wearing this monk's uniform? Change it back!"

Lin Jue stretched her waist, stretched her fingers, and said indifferently, "Are you used to being here?"

Guan Qi nodded again and again.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "In that case, you can go back to Lin's house. I'm in a good mood here."

Guanqi never expected that Lin Jue would say that, he was stunned for a while, and then there was a cry in his voice: "You don't want me anymore?"

Lin Jue was silent, where did this guy think.

Seeing that Lin Jue remained silent, the chess watcher thought he had guessed right. With a "plop", he knelt down at Lin Jue's feet, hugged Lin Jue's leg and howled: "Master, I know I was wrong. I will do it again in the future." Don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, don't drive me away after you are here, I have been with you for so many years, and if I leave here, there will be no way out!"

Lin Jue kicked his legs amusedly, but it was a pity that he didn't kick out Lai Pi's chess watching like a plaster. He sighed and said, "Get up quickly, it's really not good for you to howl like this in this pure place of Buddha's house."

Watching chess but not listening, still crying non-stop, crying while talking about something.

Lin Jue felt his temples beating non-stop, and he wanted to strangle Guanqi to death, so he lowered his face: "I said shut up, can't you hear me?"

Guanqi seemed to be choked by someone suddenly, and the sound stopped abruptly.Slowly, only the aggrieved sobs of watching chess can be heard.

Lin Jue rubbed his temples, slowed down his voice, and said in a good voice: "Listen to me, I don't want you. You have served me for so long. I'm not used to it without you. It's just that I decided to clean up in the temple. It’s not good for you to follow and serve after some time.”

Guanqi stood up, rubbed his red eyes, and said anxiously: "I can't be here? I promise, I won't disturb the arrangement of the master. Besides, the health of the master is not good yet. I'm not here, and I feel so sad." Uneasy!"

Lin Jue looked around amusedly, and said, "This is Qingquan Temple, and the abbot here is Master Puye. What are you worried about? In Suzhou, I am most at ease here."

Guanqi subconsciously wanted to refute, what about the Lin family?Before the words were about to come out, he finally realized that the current situation was different from the original one. The master had been adopted to Mr. Lin, so he had nothing to do with the Lin family.What's more, when I returned to Jiangnan this time, I felt that I was a lot stranger to the Lin family.It was the first time meeting the young master of the Lin family.This time when I met Master, I looked at him stupidly. When Madam asked him to call him brother, he asked in a ignorant manner, "Where did this brother come from? I haven't seen him before!" At that time, Master's face was stiff for more than a moment The time of stick incense.Thinking about it this way, it would be hard for Guanqi to persuade Master to go to Lin's house to rest.

Seeing Guanqi bowed his head and said nothing, Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's settled, you will go down the mountain in a while! Lin Xiang and the others are all down the mountain, you go and join them."

Guanqi nodded.

By the time Lin Jue walked around the back mountain and went back, the morning class in the temple had already been finished.

Seeing the little buddhas eating breakfast happily, Lin Jue didn't come out, and naturally went to serve himself a bowl of rice, leaned over to Master Puye, and said, "Master, I'm just going to bother you in the temple for a while. gone."

"Well, then start morning class with us tomorrow." Master Puye looked at Lin Jue and sighed: "Go, I'll let them make you a separate medicinal porridge, remember to drink it later."

Lin Jue had a bitter face and smacked his lips, as if he had already tasted the bitter taste: "Do I have to drink it?"

Master Puye looked at Lin Jue's mischievous expression, but smiled happily. He patted Lin Jue's head and said, "You must drink it. How have you spoiled your body these past few years? Don't take advantage of your youth to make up for it. When you get older, it’s you who regrets it.”

Lin Jue grinned, not daring to make a sound.

Master Puye was afraid of scaring Lin Jue, but he was very relieved: "You don't have to worry, just stay in the temple these days, the place here is very big, the room is very spacious, and it is very quiet even if you are not in season. By the way, only when you mend your body will you have the opportunity to do the things you want to do!"

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Master Puye, feeling much more relaxed.These days, even when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he never spent a single day in silence.All my former classmates came to ask me why I didn’t take part in the autumn exam. Among them, those who really cared about me were okay, and what was even more annoying was that there were some who came here to watch the jokes. Laugh at yourself for being smart when you were young, but when you are old.The Lin family even carefully avoided this topic, and the feeling of unfamiliarity immediately came out.At that time, Lin Jue didn't know what expression to use. Although he hadn't returned to Gusu in these years, the letters and gifts he sent here had never been broken. In his heart, Gusu was a pure land. Xanadu, the current situation is tantamount to breaking the fantasy in Lin Jue's heart.When I didn't find out, in the eyes of others, I was no longer one of them.This is a really frustrating thing.

And this was a fatal blow to Lin Jue who came to the south of the Yangtze River to relax.

Fortunately, there is also Qingquan Temple. Here, I seem to have returned to the original place. I don't need to worry about the affairs of the capital, let alone stay at home and look at their pity eyes.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue smiled, quickly finished his meal, and went to the monk who was cooking for his own medicinal porridge.

After drinking the medicinal porridge, Lin Jue stuck out his tongue and pulled out the candied fruit, stuffing it into his mouth.By the way, he handed the tin box containing candied fruit to the little monk who was looking at him eagerly. This little guy is the youngest disciple that Master Puye has accepted in the past ten years. He is only five or six years old now. His Dharma name is Xuankong and Yuanyuan The three-headed body is so tight that people like it.He is not very old, but his seniority is not young. Many young monks in the temple call him Shishu and Shishuzu.

Looking at the iron box that Lin Jue handed over, the three heads were all smiles, they grabbed a handful of candied fruit and stuffed them into their mouths, and handed the box back to Lin Jue, bowing in a vague manner, slurring their speech. Said: "Little monk, thank you benefactor."

Lin Jue couldn't help but laugh, feeling that compared with the two-year-old little demon king of the Lin family, the three-headed body was so cute that people wanted to hug him and rub him.Touching the three bald heads, Lin Jue pushed the box back: "Keep the candied fruit for yourself."

The three heads looked at Lin Jue in embarrassment, then looked at the box, closed their eyes, gritted their teeth and put the box down: "The master said that monks must have self-control. The little monk has already eaten candied fruit, so he can't ask for more. Stop being greedy, it's very easy." important."

Lin Jue looked at this scene in surprise, and couldn't laugh or cry. How did the old monk teach the child? This three-headed person who is less than the height of the table knows how to quit greed?Looking at the three-headed body with a persistent face, Lin Jue took the box back very readily. The three-headed body followed the box with eyes and swallowed secretly. Well, the little monk listened to the master's words, it is a good thing. monk.However, candied fruit is delicious, and I can't usually eat it.

Lin Jue patted the little monk's head again with a smile, and said distressedly: "But I want to eat medicinal porridge, it's very bad if I don't eat candied fruit. Can little master accompany me to eat candied fruit every day? It won't be boring like this." It's over." After speaking, he looked at the three heads expectantly.

The eyes of the three-headed body lit up in an instant, and he patted his head as if he was in trouble, and said righteously: "Amitabha, I will not go to hell, whoever goes to hell, that's decided."

Lin Jue couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

The three heads scratched their heads in doubt, and then laughed.

After resting for a while, Lin Jue followed the young monk to carry water. There are two wells in the temple, but monks who have just entered Buddhism have to carry water for two years before doing other things.Carrying water is also very particular. I have to go to Repulse Bay on the back of the mountain to pick it. There is a small bucket specially made for the young monk. It is small and very simple. It only holds one or two catties of water, and the bucket is attached. It weighs only three catties.

Ever since Lin Jue found out that the road from the temple to Repulse Bay was extremely beautiful, he took the initiative to take the job of fetching water with the little monk. Three times a day, all he had to do was to follow the three-headed body closely. Take the little monk to the place, and don't care about the others.

Seeing the three heads tightening their sleeves and trouser legs, holding a small pole and a small bucket, Lin Jue nodded: "Are you ready?"

The three heads responded vigorously, and the two left the temple under the witness of all the monks.

Although it is already the beginning of autumn, the trees in the south of the Yangtze River are still lush and lush. Occasionally, I saw two maple trees, which were unusually dressed in red clothes. When I am in a good mood, the time passes quickly.

Looking at a bend of shallow water, it lives up to the name of Repulse Bay. The deepest part is only one meter, and the shallowest part is only about half a meter.There are all kinds of small fish and shrimps in the water, all of which are no longer than the length of a finger, swimming around freely. Watching the three heads kicking the water, the fish and shrimps are not afraid of life, and some of them come here specially.

Watching Xiaosan pouring water into the bucket and then pouring it back into the water again, I couldn't help being amused. I didn't understand what was going on, but I understood after watching it twice. Every time I accidentally put small fish and shrimp in it. When they arrived in the bucket, the monks were merciful, so they had to release the animals. After watching for a long time, they felt that this was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
