There's a gust of wind coming from the south

In the garden downstairs of the hospital, many crape myrtle and pansy are blooming.Standing in the shade, Shen Shi and Nan Feng were discussing Mr. Wu's condition.

"The doctor said that the cancer cells have spread all over the lymph, and the situation is very unsatisfactory." Shen Shi sighed, "So I thought that if the master still has any unfulfilled wishes, he might as well take him while he can still walk. He's gone."

"You're right." Nan Feng nodded in agreement.

"Will you go to Tancheng with us this time, will it affect the school's affairs? If it affects, don't force it. The old man is getting old and willful."

"It doesn't matter, all the things that should be done in the school have been done. Multiple people are in charge. Didn't you also go to Liu County to help me before?"

After Nan Feng finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, after all, what happened to Huang Mao happened after that.But I said it all, and there is no way to take it back.

"At the beginning, I said that I shouldn't have kept the little rabbit. When the little girl cried, I felt soft... I was the one who hurt Huangmao."

"Brother Shi." Nanfeng interrupted Shen Shi, looked at him and shook his head slowly, "Don't take all the responsibility on yourself."

After getting along for such a long time, Nanfeng gradually discovered that although Shen Shi appeared to be strong and courageous on the surface, in fact, deep down in his heart, he was always inferior.

He thought that although he was similar to Nanfeng, he was not the same person.And he was the one who went the wrong way.

He believed that Huangmao's death, Xiaotu's nightmare and even Mr. Wu's illness were all his responsibility.While he was desperately protecting his most important thing, he kept blaming himself for not protecting it properly.It seems that if it is not for me, everyone will live better.

This kind of Shen Shi actually lived a very tiring life, which also made Nan Feng feel distressed.

"Brother Shi, thank you."

Nanfeng's sudden thank you made Shen Shi feel a little baffled.

"Why did you suddenly say thank you?" Shen Shi asked.

"If it weren't for you, I would have destroyed myself for many moments in the past." Nanfeng looked at Shen Shi with soft eyes, and he comforted him in a low voice, "So brother Shi, I will be by your side in the future." Around you, don’t take on many things by yourself, whether you can succeed or not.”

Hearing what Nan Feng said, it would be a lie if Shen Shi was not moved.He felt that his eyes were a little sore, but he couldn't act like a girl chirping in front of Nanfeng, so he could only turn his head to those blooming pansies, cleared his throat and replied, "Cough, um."

……

Early the next morning, Shen Shi rented a car, took Wu Nian'en and Nan Feng to Hantan Temple on Yueluo Mountain near Tancheng.

Wu Nianen's mental state was better than that in the hospital before, and he even ate a whole piece of sesame shortbread while listening to the storytelling on the radio.

When the car drove to noon, we saw the mountains, which were lush and green on both sides of the road.

The matter of Wu Nianen's illness was always on Shen Shi's mind.But seeing him so happy now, I also feel that taking the old man this trip is the right choice.

He rolled down half of the car window, and the smell of green grass entered the car in an instant.

Mr. Wu let out a sigh of relief, patted Shen Shi on the back of the driver's seat and said, "How about it, let me tell you that you can't stay in the hospital! Once I come out, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere in my body!"

"Yes, yes, what you said is correct!" Shen Shi didn't intend to refute, and just followed his words.

"Nanfeng, pass the medicine in your hand to the old man."

Noticing that there was no movement around him for a long time, Shen Shi turned his face and saw Nan Feng sitting in the passenger seat, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

The wind in the mountains in midsummer would occasionally blow the ends of his hair.Under the sun, Nanfeng's skin is very fair, his eyes are hidden in the shadows, but the curled eyelashes can still be seen.

His slender fingers folded between his legs to hold Wu Nianen's medicine, which shows that he remembered to take out the medicine in advance and put it away early in the morning.

Shen Shi couldn't bear to wake him up, so he held the steering wheel with one hand and went to get the medicine with the other.When he accidentally slipped past Nan Feng's hand, the man woke up.

"Old man, it's time to take your medicine." Nanfeng unscrewed the medicine bottle, handed the pills and water to the back seat, and then looked up and met Wu Nianen's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Nanfeng asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Wu Nianen waved his hands and smiled, "Very good, very good."

Shen Shi, who was driving, heard the old man's inexplicable praise, and shook his head helplessly, wondering what the old man was planning on himself.

……

The car drove for a whole day, and felt that the moon was setting at the foot of the mountain just as Xiangwan was.

Although Yueluo Mountain is a scenic spot, it does not belong to the first batch of fire.Compared with Wuyue and Huangshan, it is simply not on the same level.Correspondingly, the incense fire in Hantan Temple is not flourishing.

It should be because there are few tourists visiting, the roses are blooming in clusters but no one picks them, and the petals are left on the ground and no one cleans them up.The bells of Hantan Temple came from the distant mountains, which made people's hearts quiet.

Just when Shen Shi was worried about finding the driveway up the mountain, he heard a very penetrating voice not far away: "Amitabha——".

Looking back, an old man in a monk's robe was walking out of the forest.The age looks similar to Wu Nianen's, but his complexion is rosy, and he is obviously much healthier than Mr. Wu.

"Because of heart—" the monk picked up Mr. Wu's hand and called out his sign.

Because of the heart, it means the heart of kindness and benevolence.

"Ziye." Old Master Wu paused before smiling, "No, it's time to call you Master Chen."

"Amitabha, don't dare to be that."

The master who was called to be dust looked at Mr. Wu's face in the dim light, and said worriedly: "Because of your heart, I think your complexion is not good."

Wu Nian'en touched his stomach: "There is something wrong here, and there is no cure. Before I die, I want to come to Hantan Temple to see you, and I want to see her again..."

After listening to Monk Liaochen, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, and he said slowly with a peaceful tone: "So, during this period of time, let's stay in Yueluo Mountain because of your heart."

Wu Nianen nodded, turned around and introduced to him: "One of these two juniors is my disciple Shen Shi, and the other is Nanfeng."

Monk Liaochen saluted the two of them, and said with emotion: "Okay, okay, a hero comes out of a boy. Come with me, everyone."

……

It turns out that there is no uphill driveway in the mountain, but a winding path.

Shen Shi was worried that Wu Nianen's physical condition would not be able to support him to walk such a long mountain road, so he kept following closely.

Unexpectedly, Wu Nian'en talked and laughed with Chen along the way, but he didn't seem overwhelmed.Although Monk Liaochen's footsteps were fast, Wu Nian'en was not too far behind.

The night was gradually getting darker, and the crowing of black sparrows came from the mountains.Not far away, there seemed to be a stream of water, following Shen Shi and his party all the way to Hantan Temple.

The humidity was high at night, and everyone's skin was covered with a layer of mist.Shen Shi put his coat on Wu Nianen's body to worry that he would catch a cold, but was stopped by Monk Liaochen.

Liao Chen: "This water mist is the aura of the sun and the moon, the essence of heaven and earth. It refreshes the heart and spleen and can dispel evil spirits and straighten the body. Don't worry, young man."

"That's right, Ah Shi, I feel comfortable all over now, it's good!" Wu Nian'en said loudly.

Seeing that Wu Nianen persisted, Shen Shi no longer insisted.I thought it would be good to be down-to-earth, but fortunately, the temperature itself is not too low in the midsummer night.

Liao Chen looked up at the moonlight, and suddenly grabbed Wu Nianen's arm and walked quickly, his tone mixed with joy: "Yin Xin, hurry up. You are just in time!"

Wu Nianen's eyes lit up: "Yes, is it?!"

"Hurry up—!"

"Go, go—!"

The two old men supported each other and walked quickly towards the mountain.Shen Shi and Nan Feng met each other's eyes, and curiously quickened their pace to follow.

……

Hantan Temple as a whole is made of black tiles.Along the Qingshiban road, there are huge ancient horse chestnut trees planted on both sides of the main hall, and a quiet floral fragrance lingers in the simple and rustic courtyard.

When everyone entered the courtyard, Liaochen did not light the lamp.Instead, he took them all the way to the backyard by moonlight.

There are many exotic flowers and plants planted in the backyard of Hantan Temple, all of which came from the hands of Monk Liaochen.

Later, Shen Shicai learned from Wu Nian'en that when Liaochen was still called Ziye, he used to be a gardener who specialized in maintaining flowers for the rich, and it was at that time that his fate with Liaochen was formed.

"arrive……"

Following Liao Chen's words, Shen Shi saw a few unattractive-looking plants in the flowerbed, with flower buds hanging quietly from their bases, looking lazy.

He instantly knew what the two old men were chasing after just now.

Epiphyllum, also known as the beauty under the moon.Only open at night, the smell is delicate and refined, and the blooming time is very short.It is very lucky to be able to see it today.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the timing is just right.Epiphyllum blooms quietly under the moonlight, with a clear fragrance lingering around.

"It's a flash in the pan, it's only for Wei Tuo." Wu Nian'en sighed while looking at Liao Chen beside him.

I saw that monk who always looked indifferent was staring at these beauties under the moon intently.He clasped his hands together and sighed, "Amitabha——"

Shen Shi saw that there was light in Monk Liaochen's eyes.

"What is master thinking?" Shen Shi asked.

"An old friend."

A cloud covered the moonlight, and after it drifted away, Epiphyllum was defeated.

Liao Chen's expression changed back to his calm look as the flowers fell, and after arranging meals and accommodation for Wu Nianen and others, he went back to the meditation room first.

In the middle of the night, Shen Shi saw that Nan Fengqi hadn't come back for a long time, so he put on a coat and walked out of the room.For an instant, he was left in place by the scene in front of him.

Under the vast galaxy, Nanfeng was leaning quietly in front of the corridor, looking up at the sky.

The cool wind blowing the fragrance of flowers blows the ends of his hair and the slightly loose white shirt, making people feel that although he looks close at hand at this moment, it is a bit unreal.

Even if using words like "charming" to describe the other party might meet with strong resistance from that person, Shen Shi still couldn't help but feel that the south wind tonight was so beautiful that it was beyond ordinary.

The beauty under the moon is not talking about flowers, but about people.

As if he noticed Shen Shi's gaze, Nan Feng turned his head to look at him.

"woke up?"

"Ah, um." Shen Shi responded, raised his foot and walked towards him, and calmed down his mind during this time.

"Can't sleep?" Shen Shi asked.

"I've never seen such a sky, I just want to see it here for a while."

Following Nan Feng's line of sight, Shen Shi also raised his head to look at the starry sky. In fact, he had seen such a scene before.

In order to collect rare books everywhere, Shen Shi traveled to many places and experienced various scenery and people.

But Nanfeng didn't. Most of his time was wasted in Ancheng, floating and sinking in those messy things.

There are very few stars in the sky of Ancheng, before meeting Shen Shi, Nan Feng never thought of going out to see the stars.

"Hey..." Nan Feng sighed.

"What's the matter?"

"It would be nice to have another bottle of good wine, but it's a pity that it's in the temple."

The other party's emotion made Shen Shi want to laugh a little, what was said from this otherworldly skin was still the most common daily necessities.

"Yes." Shen Shi said, turning his head and walking towards the house.

Nan Feng said unexpectedly: "You really brought it?"

"Brother Zhi knows how to do tricks, wait, I'll get some for you!"

Looking at Shen Shi who went back to the room to find a drink for him, the corner of Nan Feng's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.He took a deep breath, it was a full moon night in midsummer.

Shen Shi really brought some wine with him, but not much.

The wine container was a sterling silver flagon he won from Luo Xun in a bet.Luo Xun has been sad for a long time because of the loss of his beloved, but the true nature of a man who has always said his word is not good enough to beg for it.

"If you don't have a cup, just use it." Shen Shi threw the jug to the south wind.

"I don't dislike you." Nan Feng unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head, took a sip, and sighed, "It's comfortable."

Shen Shi smiled, and sat down beside Nan Feng.

Nanfeng handed the wine back to Shen Shi's hand: "Would you like a couple?"

"Come on."

The two of them held a wine jug, you sipped and I drank while watching the night.

In the end, Nan Feng suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Shi, and half-truthfully said: "Do you think this is an indirect kiss?"

Shen Shi almost spit out the wine as soon as it reached his mouth, and coughed hard.

Seeing Shen Shi like this, Nan Feng laughed triumphantly.

Shen Shi realized that he had been tricked by him, and rubbed Nan Feng's hair angrily: "You bastard."

He didn't realize that the action this time was obviously much smoother than before.
