Puji Temple was built in the Qianlong period. It was built in the open and flat area of the mountain. It is the temple with the most incense in the entire Putuo Mountain.
All year round, day in and day out, there are constant tourists.
Several young people walked while chatting, and found a hotel in a secluded alley.
The hotel is small, with a very simple style. There is a small yard covered with bluestone slabs. There are trees in the yard with lush branches. There is an old well beside the tree.
The house is built on three sides, surrounded by a yard, with white walls and black roofs, without extra decorations, as simple and profound as the mountain.
Entering the store, there is no waiter welcoming guests at the door, and the sound of chess falling on the board can be vaguely heard in a room with an open door inside.
Sun Yuhe walked over first and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there? I want to stay in the hotel."
There were two more steps down inside, and then an old man came out slowly.
"Is there any room left?" Sun Yuhe asked.
The old man had white hair and chicken skin, but there was a strong look in his brows, and he put his hands behind his back, and said, "Yes, how many rooms do you want?"
Sun Yuhe didn't ask the people behind him for their opinions, and said directly: "Five rooms."
"Give me your ID card."
After registration, the old man took the key and said, "Can the rooms not be next to each other?"
"fine."
The people behind were very quiet, and everyone was thinking about how to allocate the five rooms.
Soon, the key was in hand, Sun Yuhe looked it over, and then distributed one to each of the four girls in the girls' dormitory, and kept one for himself.
"I understand." The old god Sun Yuhe said, "Go into the house and put things away, take a rest, and gather for dinner in twenty minutes."
With a wave of his hand, he said coolly: "Lead the one who should lead!"
Everyone laughed meaningfully, and Sister Pi touched the youngest with drooping mouth.
The youngest was crying, "Single has no human rights..."
Sister Pi coaxed her: "Be good, go back and buy you chocolates."
Bai Lu patted Xu Hui, "Let's go."
Xu Hui said calmly, "Yes."
I don't know if it was Sun Yuhe's intentional arrangement. Of the five rooms, the other four are on the second floor, and only Bai Lu and Xu Hui's are on the first floor.
Opening the door, one can see the window directly opposite.
I don’t know whether it’s because Buddhism is quiet and quiet, or it’s a tradition on the island to not pick up lost items and close the house at night. The windows on the first floor are all open and ventilated, and there are no protective fences outside. The view is wide, and the ancient trees in the courtyard can be seen directly.
The air was exceptionally clean.
Putting down the package, Bai Lu asked Xu Hui, "Which bed do you want to sleep in?"
"casual."
Bai Lu left the bed by the window for Xu Hui.
After simply washing his hands and face, after sitting for a while, Sun Yuhe knocked on the door.
"Let's go, let's eat! I'm starving to death!"
Sister Pi searched for a restaurant on the Internet while she was just taking a break.
"It's next to Puji Temple. It is said to be a famous vegetarian restaurant. Go and try it."
The restaurant is easy to find, because it is just after six o'clock, and the lobby is overcrowded during meal time.
After finally waiting for a big table, the location is good, just by the window, and you can see the pool outside.
In front of Puji Temple, there is a lotus pond of nearly 15 acres, in which there are octagonal pavilions and Yaochi Bridge.
In this season, there are only remnants of lotus left in the pond, but it still creates a kind of beauty of natural decay, which complements each other with the old trees and ancient temples next to it, forming a natural picture scroll.
"Why is vegetarian food so expensive?" Holding the menu, the third child couldn't help asking.
"Hey, let's just donate merit money." Da Liu persuaded her from the side.
"Vegetarian chicken, vegetarian duck, and vegetarian abalone..." Sister Pi smiled as she stared at the menu, "This is also called vegetarian food."
The waiter next to him said: "This is because many customers are not used to the taste of vegetarian food. The masters have improved the technique."
"Make it taste like a meat dish? How is that different from eating meat?"
The waiter seemed to be accustomed to such questions, and said calmly:
"In ancient times, Jigong said that wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stays in it." We make improved vegetarian dishes to allow tourists to experience the purity of Buddhism and taste delicious food at the same time. The most important thing is sincerity. As long as the heart is sincere, the Buddha can feel it."
"..."
"It sounds reasonable..." Sister Pi turned to look at the third child, who shrugged and began to discuss the order.
Don't look at these pigs, beef, sheep, chicken, ducks and fish all have the word "vegetarian" in front of them. "
When they first entered the door, they noticed that the dishes on other tables were very small, and they were definitely not enough for the four young men on the table.
While the boys were chatting, the third child leaned into Sister Pi's ear and whispered: "Why don't we four bear the burden of this meal, and everyone invited us out to play. Besides, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of others are soft." , let’s not make fun of the room chief, we won’t be able to hold our heads up.”
Sister Pi raised her eyes, "That's right!"
After giving Bai Lu a look, Bai Lu came over, and the third child and sister Pi told Bai Lu about this proposal.
"Okay." Bai Lu nodded, "Order."
After returning to her seat, Xu Hui who was beside her glanced at her, and Bai Lu said, "This meal is for our dormitory."
Xu Hui frowned inadvertently, and said in a low voice.
"Ok?"
Sun Yuhe next to him heard the girls' concerns and immediately understood the girls' worries, and said with a smile, "It's impossible for him to let the girls take money."
Then he said to Bai Lu: "Just let him spend it, he can't bear it if you don't let him spend it." Pointing at Xu Hui, his face was full of ridicule, "I don't know if Brother Hui can die if you don't pretend?"
Xu Hui gave him a cold look, Sun Yuhe immediately shut up, and everyone else at the table was already amused.
"Boss Xu is amazing." Da Liu sighed, "When my third child and I went to your store for the first time, I felt that the atmosphere was very good, and she yelled to go back and introduce it to my roommate. Does Boss Xu really like to open a store? ?”
Xu Hui paused slightly after hearing the question, and said ambiguously: "...it's okay."
Bai Lu glanced at him and remained silent.
Da Liu sighed, "Hey, I also want to open my own studio in the future, but I don't know if I can afford it. It's too difficult to start my own business."
Xu Hui was a little thirsty, he drank the small porcelain cup in front of him, and picked up Bai Lu's.
"Is it difficult? I think it's easy to make money."
After speaking lightly, drink water lightly.
Everyone: "..."
Sun Yuhe couldn't help it either, and squinted at him, "Xu Hui...you really owe me a lot."
Putting down the cup, Xu Hui pursed his lips, "Just kidding." Looking at Da Liu, "Open it if you want to, and switch to another line if you can't manage it."
He said it very easily, and Da Liu said: "If only it were that simple..."
The third child said beside him, "Don't be too ambitious, you should pass the fourth level first."
Hearing the fourth level, the strong man almost cried, raised his hands, and made a gesture of surrender.
"Can you stop hurting people like this! Don't mention level four!"
The food came out quickly, and alcohol is not allowed in the pure Buddhist area, so everyone pretended to order two pots of tea.
"I'll go, it's really the same." After eating the vegetarian beef, Sister Pi exclaimed, "It's amazing! The taste is the same!"
When you come to travel, it's not because you are sincere about Buddhism, you just want something new.
You have a chopstick and I have a chopstick, and experiment with each dish.
"But there is still a difference." After savoring carefully, Miss Pi said earnestly, "It won't be full after eating..."
"Yeah." Da Liu and the third child also agreed, "It's not as refreshing as eating the meat at the end."
"But the taste is really good."
There was a lot of fun at the table.
Bai Lu ate less, and when she put down her chopsticks, she glanced to the side, just in time Xu Hui also looked over.
He also finished eating.
They stared at each other silently for two seconds, and both stood up.
"What's wrong?"
"After eating, let's go outside." Bai Lu said.
"You two—" Sister Pi said in surprise, "It's too fast, I haven't even had my appetite yet!"
Bai Lu smiled, "Then eat slowly."
After leaving the hotel, the fresh coolness caressed my cheeks.
The afterglow is fading away, and the sky is hazy.
"Is it cold?" Xu Hui asked her.
Bai Lu shook her head, took his hand, "Let's go."
He led her and walked slowly along the lotus pond.
"Why is there still a scent?" Xu Hui looked at the pool water, "It's not that the flowers are withering."
"I don't know, maybe it's been too long, I'm used to it."
They walked past an empty bench and sat down side by side. Not far in front, there are children playing with paper airplanes in their hands, and their parents are watching over them.
The sky is a light blue color, which is like evening or dawn.
Bai Lu felt that her hand was being clenched.
"Bai Lu..." He looked at the residual lotus in the pond and called her name.
"Ok."
"I'll be right back."
Bai Lu didn't answer right away, but after a while, she chuckled lightly.
"Not more than a year, go to a better one?"
She already knew what he was going to do, Xu Hui turned his head.
His face looked especially handsome in the evening, like a clear pool in a bitch, spotless.
"No, I want to do it, it's the same everywhere."
Bai Lu also looked at him.
"Don't force yourself, your body is the most important thing."
"I know."
"And..." Bai Lu pursed her lips, and said after deliberation: "After all, it's been so many years, and it's been a long time. If the difference is really too big, there's no need to—"
"Bai Lu." He interrupted her softly, "I won't contact you after I go back."
His voice was soft, and Bai Lu turned her head.
But she heard a sincere persistence and passion from his words, which she had never experienced from him.
Looking at each other, Bai Lu felt her heart beating so hard.
The residual lotus rippling in the wind.
Xu Hui whispered, "See you next September."
After saying such a sentence, both of them felt turmoil in their hearts.
It seems that the long-standing entanglement has been cleared up, and all the dragging packages and pasts have been unloaded.
Travel light.
Do it all over again.
Bai Lu's throat choked up, and she had to concentrate all her attention to control the corners of her eyes that were getting sore.
His eyes were also red.
Slowly said: "From now on, we will live the 'luxury' life you mentioned."
He remembers it well.
Three meals a day, eight hours of sleep, one hour of sun exposure, no beer belly in middle age, no blindness in old age...
Bai Lu couldn't speak, so she could only nod vigorously.
"Ok!"
They look at each other.
Ruthless and fragile, lonely and kind.
At the beginning, the road was slightly different from ordinary people in everyone's eyes. After walking for a long time, I found that there was no difference.
Two children were playing by the pool, and the little boy suddenly pointed to the side.
"Look, someone is kissing!"
The little girl quickly looked over and exclaimed: "It's really kissing!"
Laughing and laughing in the vegetarian restaurant, Sister Pi substituted tea for wine and poured down on Sun Yuhe, forcing him to go to the toilet more than a dozen times.
The third child and Liu are still discussing the issue of the fourth level.
The youngest girl leaned against the window and looked out the window, shook her head, and sighed: "Ah... I really want to fall in love."
The ups and downs are nothing more than a test like a joke from God. When the fog is cleared, it is still a youthful and vigorous Mood for Love.
The little boy outside soon became bored and started playing with paper airplanes again. The girl saw the boy in the seat go to the stall next to him to buy water, and ran over.
"Big sister!" She opened her eyes wide.
The eldest sister lowered her head, and slowly raised her head when she heard someone talking.
The little girl asked innocently: "Is that your boyfriend?"
The elder sister looked at her for a long time, pulled the corners of her mouth lightly, and said with a faint smile, "Well, he's handsome..."
The little girl nodded sharply, "Handsome!"
Bai Lu turned her head and looked at the thin but straight black figure in front of the booth under the old tree.
He must have a strong future to be worthy of all the sufferings and difficulties in the past.
"I think so."
Bai Lu said softly, "There is no one more handsome than him..."
He felt something, turned his head, and waved at her.
Bai Lu raised her hand in response.
In the Avalokitesvara Dojo, the wind blows the fragrance of the lotus pond.
The paper airplane travels with the wind and floats into the distance.
