There's a gust of wind coming from the south

The Newton balls on the table collided back and forth, making regular "tick-tick-tick" sounds.Ding Peng propped up his chin with the hand holding the pen, looked helplessly at Shen Shi who was resting with his arms folded, shook his head and said, "I can't help you with your non-violent non-cooperation."

Shen Shi smiled: "Don't listen to that little girl Xiaotu's nonsense, I'm fine at all."

Ding Peng shook his head: "That's not the case. It can be seen that you are very confused, but you are too resistant to communication."

"I really have nothing to say, Miss Ding Peng." Shen Shi waved his hand and said, "Then what, I'm addicted to cigarettes. I quit after going out to smoke a cigarette, don't you just happen to have a patient?"

Ding Peng looked at Shen Shi thoughtfully, and sighed after a while: "Okay, you remember to tell Xiaotu before leaving, so she will feel more secure."

"clear."

After Shen Shi finished speaking, he left the consultation room. When he went out, he saw Xiaotu standing at the door and looking around.

"What are you looking at?"

The little rabbit was startled again, and turned around and yelled: "Oh, you scared me to death! ... How about it, are you sick?"

Shen Shi patted Xiaotu's forehead: "It's okay, don't talk nonsense to others, do you hear me?"

Xiaotu curled her lips: "Drunk people like to say they are not drunk, and mentally ill people like to say they are normal."

"What a mess." Shen Shi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and raised his chin at the little rabbit, "Brother, let's go first, don't make trouble for others here."

Xiaotu waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, mother-in-law."

Shen Shi kicked Xiaotu pretentiously, and the two of them quarreled at the door for a long time before he started the car and turned around to prepare to leave.

Through the reversing mirror, I saw a fat man wearing glasses followed a woman into the clinic, it should be another patient.The little rabbit seemed to know them very well, chatting and laughing with the little fat man.Remembering Xiaotu's sneaky look with his mobile phone before, Shen Shi frowned.But soon, he felt that he was being paranoid again.After all, judging by his little rabbit's eyes of countless handsome guys, he probably wouldn't like the little fat man.

The car drove into the high speed of the return journey, paused briefly at the fork in the middle, and then drove in the opposite direction from Ancheng.

Road signs: Hantan Temple.

At this time, the sky will be late, and the sky will be full of red clouds.I remember that it was also at such a moment in the past, when the man took advantage of the darkness to come over and kiss him, he asked himself if he would become Wei Tuo who dared not look back.

Thoughts go back and forth, so complicated that I can't figure it out.However, it all comes down to one point in the end, which is his name.

South wind, south wind.

……

As the moon set and the bell at the foot of the mountain rang melodiously, Wu Nian'en waited at the foot of the mountain when he learned that Shen Shi was coming early in the morning.His face was rosy, and he was much fatter than before.Wearing a cotton t-shirt and a snow-white beard, the old man looks like a fairy.

"Master." Shen Shi stopped the car, walked towards the old man and nodded respectfully, "I miss you."

"Good apprentice."

The old man opened his arms and gently embraced Shen Shi.There was a clean saponin smell on his body, which made Shen Shi feel relieved after a long absence, and feel wronged.

"What about him?" Wu Nianen looked into the car with some doubts, thinking that someone else would follow.Shen Shi was made even more uncomfortable by his actions, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "He didn't come."

After a pause, he said, "He's gone."

Wu Nianen didn't speak for a long time, and calmly looked at Shen Shi's dodging eyes.

Wu Nian'en: "I'm afraid it's not voluntary."

Shen Shi couldn't answer, so he could only nod his head.

Seeing his apprentice's pitiful appearance, Wu Nian'en sighed, and patted Shen Shi on the shoulder: "Let's go, go up the mountain first. It's not easy to walk at night."

As he approached the mountain gate, he saw Liao Chen calmly sweeping the stone steps with a broom.Seeing Shen Shi, Liao Chen clasped his hands together, with a faint smile on his face: "Amitabha——"

"Master Liaochen."

Taking advantage of the sky, Liao Chen paused for a moment on Shen Shi's face, and said slowly: "Evening class is coming soon, Ah Shi came at the right time, why don't you listen to it together?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked ahead to lead the way. The three of them walked into the meditation room of Hantan Temple and sat down on the futon.

The sky darkened quietly amidst the sound of wooden fish and chanting scriptures, and the quiet fragrance of flowers accompanied by night dew came from outside the house.No matter how the situation at the bottom of the mountain changes, this pure land still seems to be isolated from the world, without any change.

Above the Buddhist hall, Shen Shi suddenly wanted to drink a pot of wine.The scene of having a drink under the moon that night is still vivid in his memory. He looked out of the window in a daze, but he could only see the empty corridor left by the place where the man used to sit.

"What I recite at night is the Heart Sutra." Liao Chen knocked on the wooden fish with his back turned to Shen Shi, without looking back, "The benefactor is not calm."

Shen Shi thought that he made too much noise and affected the master, so he hurriedly apologized.

"If you are not calm, you can't figure it out." Liao Chen said to himself, "If you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out." He looked back at Shen Shi and smiled, "You have confusion in your heart, and you don't even know whether it's right or wrong. .Especially the longer the time, the less clear it becomes. Repeatedly like this, I'm afraid it will hurt others and myself."

Shen Shi was confused by Liao Chen's words, but he also felt that he had seen through his thoughts.He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.In the end, he could only stand up in silence and salute, then turned and walked out.

He looked up at the vast galaxy, and the words Chen just said repeated in his heart.After an unknown amount of time, the sound of chanting sutras in the meditation room stopped, and a figure quietly followed him and stood behind him.

"The benefactor once said 'no regrets' to explain the mystery to the poor monk, but now I don't know if I am lucky enough to resolve the confusion in the benefactor's heart."

Chen was answered by a long silence.He was not in a hurry, he went straight to the courtyard and took care of the flowers in the flower garden, pruning and watering them.

After a long time, Shen Shi behind him said softly: "I drove him away."

Shen Shi closed his eyes wearily: "Because my future was uncertain at that time, but he had a better tomorrow. I don't want to drag him down..."

After Shen Shi finished speaking, he slowly covered his face with his hands to conceal his unbearable emotions.

He said hoarsely, "But now, I really miss him..."

"It's broken." Liao Chen interrupted Shen Shi suddenly, slapped his forehead and said, "Forgot, forgot."

After Liaochen finished speaking, he put his hand in his mouth and whistled long and crisply.Following the sound of the whistle, six monkeys suddenly emerged from the dark grass and dense forest outside the temple.

Liao Chen ignored Shen Shi, turned around and went back to the house and brought out a basket with some melon, fruit and steamed buns in it.

He waved at the barking monkeys, and they rushed towards Chen with their teeth and claws open, and howled endlessly around him.

"Don't panic, you have everything." Liao Chen smiled and distributed the food in the basket to the monkeys, and the monkeys howled even more happily after eating and drinking.

"Ashi."

Liao Chen called out, and opened his mouth to say something when Shen Shi looked at him.But the monkeys chasing and playing around him were too noisy, and Shen Shi couldn't hear their chirping at all.

Shen Shi couldn't help frowning and took a few steps towards Chen.

Liaochen chased the monkeys away with his hand, and said to them: "It's gone, come back tomorrow."

The monkey seemed to understand what he said, he pushed and shoved back and forth to leave the monastery, disappeared into the forest.

Tranquility returned to Hantan Temple.

Watching the monkeys go away, Liao Chen looked back at Shen Shi again.

"Did you hear what I said just now?"

Shen Shi shook his head.

Liaochen laughed: "It's normal if you can't hear clearly. If you say that monkeys and us are the same ancestors. Human voices are mixed with their calls, so you can't hear them clearly."

Shen Shi didn't know why Chen suddenly wanted to talk about monkeys with him, so he just stood there silently waiting for his next words.

Liaochen continued: "Six monkeys also live in the human heart, named eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Dharma, this is the six dust, also called the six thieves... Think about it, with these six thieves screaming around you all day long, you can't hear what the other party wants to say to you, let alone your own heart idea."

At this time, the full moon poked its head out from among the clouds, covering the mountains with a layer of tulle.

There was light in Liaochen's eyes, he looked at Shen Shi and said slowly: "What does he really want? What do you really want?... Throwing away all the outside voices, and all the inconsistency, what is left is That is the answer."

……

The next day, Shen Shi bid farewell to Chen and Wu Nian'en, and drove away from Hantan Temple on Yueluo Mountain to Ancheng.After he left, Wu Nian'en asked Liao Chen who was sweeping the floor in front of him: "What did you tell him last night?"

Liaochen smiled faintly: "The story of the monkey."

……

The local road conditions were playing on the radio in the morning, and Shen Shi casually switched it to the music station.The first ray of sunlight in the morning had just penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the road ahead, and it was very quiet with no one and no cars around.

Just as a song was about to be sung on the bandstand, the singer spoke slowly in the last set of chords played by the guitar:

"Life will never leave the blue, white cloudy sky..."

Shen Shi stopped suddenly and leaned the car aside.In an instant, he only felt a belated warm current return to his heart, making it beat again.

When the world was quiet, he heard the answer deep in his heart.

Even though there are thousands of fears and entanglements in this encounter, life will never let go of this blue white sky.

The same goes for his south wind.
