hit ten miles

The sky is getting dark gradually, the moon is faint at the beginning of the stars, there is only a faint circle, very empty.

When the three of them arrived at the pier, the boatman was about to stop the oars. Brother Jiachen struggled for a long time, and finally got the boatman to agree to take them across the river.

There was only one lantern hanging on the bow of the whole ship, and the cabin was dim.

Le Jie stared at the blue hairband tied on his right wrist by Shengmi, and then followed the hairband, looking at the other end tied to Shengmi's left wrist.

"Don't lose it again." Next to his ear was what Sheng Mie said when he tied the blue belt for him.Suddenly, I wanted to pour warm water into my heart, gurgling out from the heart, along the intertwined blood vessels in the body, flowing all the way through the whole body, making every detail comfortable.

Le Jie took out a few lotus cakes from his bosom, held them in front of Sheng Mie with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, eat."

Sheng Mi suddenly blushed, he picked up a piece and put it to his mouth and took a bite.

Jia Chen, who was sitting on the other side, coughed intentionally. The two turned their heads and saw Jia Chen smiling slightly teasingly: "Le Jie really doesn't recognize me as a senior brother, and I just care about your life and death senior brother if you share the food." .

Le Jie smiled shyly, and moved his hand towards Jia Chen.

The boat was swaying on the river moor, and as the night deepened, the three of them asked the boatman for quilts and lay on the boat to make do for the night.

The east is white, and the sun is glowing in the sky.

When Le Jie woke up, the two people beside him had long disappeared. He went out of the cabin, only to see senior brother Jiachen paddling, Shengshi and the old boatman playing chess.

The sky is facing the sun, which is reflected in the boundless sea of ​​Poland. The sea water is the same color as the sky, the seabirds are flying, and the green mountains on both sides are so beautiful.

Le Jie felt that there was nothing to do, so he simply sat on the side of the boat, took off his cloth shoes, took off his trousers, soaked his feet in the water, rested his chin on his hands, and leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

After delivering the things at Yunyan Temple, it is already summer when we return to the monastery.

The days are getting longer every day, the trees are lush and lush, and the mountains are green.

In the afternoon of that day, Le Jie lay on the bed for a long time unable to sleep, the cicadas could not be heard outside, and the sun was scorching brightly.

"Senior brother." Le Jie turned his head sideways and shouted towards the opposite side who was lying on the mat with his upper body bare, who was also too hot to fall asleep and stared at the roof in a daze.

Not only was it not because the weather was too hot, Birth and Death was stunned, and after a few seconds, he slowly turned his head to look at Le Jie.

"What's wrong?" His voice was soft and lazy.

"Let's take a bath in the creek pool in the back mountain. There are shade trees there to block the sun, and the water is very cool." Le Jie was excited.

"Anyway, in summer, the monastery is also idle, master and uncle will definitely not find out, let's come back early at night." Le Jie continued to encourage.

"Then," Shengmi propped up his body slowly, as if confirming, "shall we go?".

Le Jie danced happily, jumped out of the bed, tied up her hair with a blue ribbon, and said, "Let's go!".

The water layer at the turning point of the stream becomes deeper, which may be because the upstream is wide and the downstream is narrow.

The spring water is clear and jingling.

There are towering trees on both sides, with branches and branches covered with leaves, forming a green top with a fine sieve above the stream.

The sun shines through the dense leaves and mottled, all falling on the stream and both sides of the stream, making the grass on both sides of the stream brighter and brighter, and the stream water more and more clear.

The two couldn't wait to remove their clothes, and after a while, they stepped into the stream.

A coolness is transmitted from the feet into the body, like ice lotus flowers blooming on the snow mountain one after another, icy cold to the heart.

Le Jie grinned, and turned his head to look at the birth and death behind him.

"Brother, are you feeling well?"

"Um"

Shengmi patted the water, raised his eyes to look at Lejie.Seeing that his hairband was loose, he untied his hairband from his head, let him stretch out his hand, and tied it around his wrist.

Only then did he realize that Le Jie's shoulder-length hair had grown to his shoulder blades. When Le Jie was squatting in the water, his hair spread out on the water surface and fluctuated with the water.

He could see the hair tie for a moment, but he didn't come back to his senses until Le Jie splashed the water on his face.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Le Jie looked at him and blinked, then suddenly got up, the water trickled down from his body, turning into silver threads.

Shengmi also saw the peach blossom petals on Lejie's shoulder blades, which became darker after being stained with the stream water.

The two of them leaned against the shore and closed their eyes to rest their minds. They could hear the rustling or hissing of insects on the tree trunks and in the grass.

Everything in the world is in harmony for a while.

There was an itchy feeling as the water rippled on his body, but it was very comfortable.

But the soles of the feet suddenly felt slippery, and something hit the center of the soles of the feet one after another, making Le Jie giggle itchyly.

Life and death are unknown, so I looked at him.

But Le Jie endured the itch and remained motionless, just couldn't stop laughing, and pointed to the bottom of the stream with his finger.

Shengmi buried his head in the water in doubt, and then caught a fat and long fish.

"Brother, I want to eat." Le Jie sipped his lips, pretending to be obedient.

After a while, I found some dry firewood in the forest, turned the wood on and off, and after a while, a cluster of fire was lit.

At first black smoke billowed out of the woods, but then the fire grew.

Shengmi roasted the fish on the fire, smiled and raised his eyes to look at the gluttonous Lejie, and said, "You just realized that there are fish under your feet, isn't it very cool and happy."

Le Jie raised his head without any concealment, and said with a smile: "I haven't gotten dirty for a long time, so I'm flustered."

Shengmie had nothing to do with him, he just smiled and said to himself, "For you, I broke the five precepts and committed killing, I'm afraid I will be punished by heaven in the future.".

I never thought that this self-talk would be heard by Le Jie. Although he had a playful smile on his face, his tone became serious: "Whatever the retribution from God, I will suffer it with you.".

The smile on Shengmi's lips deepened.

Seeing him holding the fish with relish, he was actually greedy, swallowed secretly, and lowered his head.

Le Jie suddenly remembered something, looked at Sheng Mie with his head down, listened, and moved the fish to the mouth of Sheng Mie.

"I won't eat." Sheng Mie looked up at him.

"Why don't you eat?" Le Jie asked him seriously.

"I," Sheng Mie said naively, "I, I am a Buddhist disciple."

Le Jie nodded clearly, but then asked: "Does it say in the Buddhist scriptures that people are not allowed to eat meat?".

"No," Shengmi hastily added, "but I'm a monk, so I can only be vegetarian."

"Doesn't Buddhism emphasize 'all beings are equal'?" Le Jie looked at him, "If you eat vegetables instead of meat, you can only go against your own ideas, and it's too biased."

Life and death was at a loss for words for a while, and I didn't know how to answer.He had never thought about this question before, but now that it is brought up, it is really a question worth thinking about.

Before he could react for a while, Le Jie's lip wine was stuck to his own lips. He was a little stunned, feeling Le Jie pushing a piece of fish into his mouth with his tongue.

"Is it tasty?"

The smile on the corners of Le Jie's eyes and brows deepened with the "delicious" answer from Sheng Mi.

Perhaps because they were still young, the two of them had no abnormal reaction to kissing.Just like after a long time, when Le Jie and Sheng Mi recalled this memory again, Le Jie said: "My mother also fed me like this when I was young.".

After swallowing it, the two of them were very full and leaned against a thick tree to rest.

"Brother, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Le Jie looked up at the dense leaves above his head.

"Be a good monk and travel far and wide." Sheng Mie smiled and answered, then turned his head and asked, "What about you?".

"Being a monk with you." Le Jie smiled innocently.

"You two are so courageous that you even killed a living creature!"

The faces of the two turned pale suddenly, and they looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Abbot Chen Wu standing in the distance and glaring at them angrily.

The Buddha statue is solemn and solemn, the flag flutters silently, and the abbot of nothingness with closed eyes stands beside the red lacquered pillar.

Le Jie and Sheng Mie knelt on the ground, bowing their heads.

Chen Wu gritted his teeth and stared at Le Jie with a livid face.

There are only four of them in this hall now.

He knew in his heart that in the past, birth and death would not have done such a thing that violated the rules and regulations, and today's incident must have been provoked by Le Jie.

"What should we do!" Chen Wu's voice was full of anger, and he really blamed the abbot of nothingness for leaving Le Jie behind.

Abbot Xu Wu slowly opened his eyes and walked to Le Jie's side: "Tell Master, why did you do this?".

Le Jie's palms suddenly grasped the ground, his knuckles turned white, and he was about to go all out to ask for a punishment, but he was killed first: "Uncle Wu Wu, it's none of Le Jie's business, it's me, I'm greedy, and I encourage Le Jie to do it with me." of.".

"No!" Le Jie suddenly turned his head to look at Life and Death.

"Master please punish, please master punish!" Sheng Mi kowtowed to plead guilty.

"No, no." Le Jie shook his head, tears streaming down his face, full of regret.

"Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, please don't lie." Sheng Mie's expression was calm, and he even smiled to appease Le Jie, "I caught Le Jie's fish, and I also started the fire. You didn't participate in it at all." item.".

Le Jie stopped, but the tears were still flowing.

Le Jie watched helplessly as Abbot Chen Wu took out a long bamboo whip, and swung it with all his might, lashing at the back of Shengshi's shirt that had been taken off. The red seal.

Shengmi stifled the pain, his face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

When Le Jie saw him looking up at him and found himself looking at him, his eyes suddenly dodged. Le Jie knew that he didn't want to let himself see his distressed appearance, so he never raised his head to look at him again.

But the sound of the whip swishing in his ears and the loud sound of the whip hitting the flesh made Le Jie blame himself.

Le Jie held onto nothing by the corner of his clothes, begging him to take him away.

When entering the Zen room, Le Jie suddenly knelt down, tears began to whirl again.

Crying so hard to breathe, he stuttered when he spoke: "Master...Master, please, please, help... Brother Life and Death, yes, yes, I want to eat fish...you, save...help him ...".

"Why do you eat fish? Ji Mie, although you are not shaved, you are still my Buddhist disciple. Don't you know that monks are not allowed to kill, let alone get dirty?" Xu Wu frowned slightly.

Le Jie grabbed the corner of nothingness's clothes: "But, master, why, why can we eat vegetables and fruits, but not meat? Isn't melon and fruit life? Master, Le Jie doesn't understand, Buddhism does not advocate the equality of all living beings. ?".

"Everything is unintentional and non-living, and there is nothing in the world."

The author has something to say:

Today I went to see Nankang’s previous post on Tianya, and mentioned a sentence in "Green Snake": When I came to the world, I was misunderstood by the world, saying that there is love in the world, but what is love?

I also thought of him saying: I am just in love with one person.
