Tsing Yi without sleeves

"Cheng'er, slow down."

Xiao Jun struggled to follow behind, his legs were not fully healed, and he didn't have crutches, so he trotted with Ning Cheng for a while, but he felt a little reluctant.

Ning Cheng was very well-behaved and sensible, seeing Xiao Jun slowing down, he knew it must be the cause of his leg injury, so he stopped quickly.

"Brother Xiao Jun, there is a place to sit, let's go there to rest." Ning Cheng stretched out his small white hand to hold Xiao Jun.

The two walked towards the pavilion in the center of the pool. Tuohua Temple is located on a high ground, but the climate has just entered the hot summer. The lotus in the pool is in full bloom, the lotus leaves are green, and the scenery is pleasant.

As soon as Xiao Jun sat down, Ning Cheng ran to the railing to reach a nearby lotus pod. Seeing Xiao Jun, he quickly got up and went over, "Cheng'er, be careful."

Ning Cheng couldn't reach the side of the lotus pod for a long time, pouted, looked up at Xiao Jun, and said coquettishly, "Brother Xiao Jun, can you pick this lotus pod for me?"

Xiao Jun glanced at the lotus pods, he probably wasn't very familiar yet, and he didn't know if the lotus pods in Tuohua Temple could be picked casually, after all, it was a place of Buddhism.

"Cheng'er, this lotus pod looks unripe, so let's stop picking it."

Ning Cheng showed a look of desire, Xiao Jun thought to himself, this child was born with a noble status, so naturally he can get what he wants, which may make him develop bad habits, so he patiently said: "Cheng'er, look, this is a place of Buddhism." The clean land is not in the palace, picking things requires the permission of the master, which is a gentleman's trip, understand?"

"Yes," Ning Cheng nodded.

Seeing that he was so easy to obey, Xiao Jun couldn't help feeling that Ning Cheng deserved to be from everyone, and his manners were very well-cultivated.

"Hey, big red bird!"

Ning Cheng pulled Xiao Jun over quickly, and saw a small land in the middle of the lotus pond, and a red bird poked out half of its body from among the lotus leaves.

"Wow, this bird is so big," Ning Cheng said in surprise, with a look of novelty.

"Brother Xiao Jun, what kind of bird is this?" Ning Cheng said softly.

Xiao Jun looked at it and said: "This is a flamingo." That tall "Flamingo" has white and rose-colored body feathers, black flight feathers, and deep red coverts. The colors complement each other and are very gorgeous.

"Flamingo, what a mighty name."

Flamingos like to live in groups, but there is only one here, Xiao Jun couldn't help feeling strange.

Ning Yunyu and Abbot Yichen walked towards the lotus pond while talking.

"My lord really guessed right, the little lord is indeed here."

Ning Yunyu smiled gently, and said, "This kid, he remembers that there is a big red bird here before he goes out."

Abbot Yichen showed a slight smile, "Children are always curious about new things. He has been with the prince since he was three years old, and it must be difficult for the prince to raise him."

Ning Yunyu did not speak, and Abbot Yichen stopped talking.In the accident three years ago, the second prince, Lord Rui, unfortunately passed away. Princess Rui was so sad that she didn't care about the half-grown child, and threw herself into the river late at night.

"Sheng'er."

Ning Cheng turned around, and hurriedly presented the treasure to Ning Yunyu, saying, "Uncle Huang has a really big flamingo here."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Yichen asked, "Flamingo? Did the little prince mean the red bird?"

"Yes," Ning Cheng nodded.

"How did the little prince know that the bird is called a flamingo?" Abbot Yichen was puzzled. He had never seen this bird before, and he always called it a red bird when he saw its red feathers.

"Brother Xiao Jun said it."

Xiao Jun turned his head, saluted slightly to Ning Yunyu, then bowed slightly to Abbot Yichen, and said politely, "I've seen the abbot."

"Who is this benefactor?" Abbot Yichen looked at Ning Yunyu.

Ning Yunyu coughed and said, "His name is Xiao Jun, and he is here to take care of Sheng'er."

Abbot Yichen nodded, and asked Xiao Jun for advice: "Just now, the little prince said that benefactor Xiao told this bird to be called a flamingo?"

Xiao Jun nodded and said, "Yes."

"It turns out that this bird is called a flamingo. Zhu Huo is burning in it. It's a good name. I've never seen this kind of bird. I always call it a red bird. I feel wronged." Abbot Yichen said with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiao Jun showed doubts.

Abbot Yichen said: "A year ago, this bird suddenly fell from the sky. Its leg was injured. I don't know where it came from. The old monk took good care of it, but it didn't fly away and stayed in this temple. .”

"No wonder, this kind of bird doesn't migrate easily. It must have been scattered with its companions during the migration. It's just strange, how could it fly here."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"The abbot doesn't know, this flamingo likes to live in groups, up to tens of thousands, and likes to live in areas like tropical saline lakes, which are usually in the east near the sea. It stands to reason that they would not appear in our It’s so far away in the inland temperate zone, and I don’t know how the flamingo flew here in a daze.”

Xiao Jun looked at the flamingo that was looking for food in the water with its head down, and couldn't help laughing: "Flamingos are extremely loyal to love, "one husband and one wife", and they are companions for life. This one flew here, and the other one I still don't know how to worry. "

Hearing this, Ning Yunyu's eyes became darker, and he looked at Xiao Jun.

"It turns out that there are tens of thousands of them in a flock. I don't know what a spectacular scene it will be." Abbot Yichen exclaimed, and then said: "What the benefactor Xiao said, the old monk has a half-knowledge, what is this tropical temperate zone?"

"..." Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, and lost his composure when he said it, and quickly explained: "This... I also heard it from a friend by chance. The tropics refer to places where the climate is relatively hot, with high temperatures all year round, and the temperate zone is...the climate. It is relatively moderate, and the temperature difference between the four seasons varies greatly, such as changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and this flamingo is what he described to me." At the end of the sentence, Xiao Jun's voice gradually became weaker.

Ning Yunyu stared at Xiao Jun closely, Xiao Jun's face blushed again unconsciously, it's over, it's over, it must be revealing.

"Benefactor Xiao, this friend is very special. He has a wide range of knowledge. If you meet him by chance, you will have no regrets in this life." Abbot Yichen sighed.

Xiao Jun naturally knew that the abbot said polite words, so he smiled slightly.

"You guys must be a little tired from the hard work on the road. Let me go to the room prepared by the old monk to rest for a while and drink some water."

"Abbot, please."

Abbot Yichen nodded to Ning Yunyu, and led the three of them towards the wing.

"I don't know, Jun'er, who lost his memory, still remembers a friend's words," Ning Yunyu said softly.

Xiao Jun thumped, his heart pounded, and he said guiltyly: "I... I suddenly thought of it, and it just flashed through my mind."

Ning Yunyu smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth curled up a bit evilly, "Really? Did Jun'er think of anything else?"

Xiao Jun blushed in embarrassment, just now he was in a hurry to defend himself, but he didn't realize that Ning Yunyu called him Jun'er, now when he realized it, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

Ning Yunyu's intentionally ambiguous tone made Xiao Jun unable to figure out whether he suspected anything or not.

Abbot Yichen led the three of them into the wing room, and said, "The three of you should rest for a while, please give me instructions if you have anything to do."

Ning Yunyu bowed to Abbot Yichen and said, "Thank you, Abbot."

Abbot Yichen clasped his palms together in return, turned around and left the wing.

Xiao Jun saw that the decoration of this wing room was simple, a bit cicada-like, and there were two calligraphy and paintings on the wall, one was "quiet" and the other was "light", with some Buddhist words in small characters on the corners.

As soon as he sat down, a few accompanying servants came in carrying the salute box, Ning Yunyu said: "Put it in." The two moved in quickly.

Xiao Jun thought to himself, no wonder he and Sheng'er were not allowed to go to the carriage at the back, it turned out to be packed with boxes.

"Drink some water," Ning Yunyu poured two glasses of water, one for Ning Cheng and one for Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun took it and took a sip. The clear water was sweet, and it must be a natural spring somewhere in the mountains.

It was almost evening, Ning Yunyu turned and went into the inner room, and Ning Cheng also followed him in tremblingly.

Xiao Jun sat silently on the chair, and when he heard a call from inside, "Come in," he got up and went in.

"It's getting late, you and Sheng'er go to take a bath first, and I'll send someone over to call you when you're going to eat your vegetarian food later," Ning Yunyu dug out two clothes from the box.

Ning Yunyu handed Xiao Jun the clothes, Xiao Jun took a look, one of the light white and blue brocade clothes was naturally for him, wondering why Ning Yunyu prepared his clothes?

Thinking about it again, this clothes should not be prepared for him, but for Jiang Yuezhao who is "off the chain".He is about the same height as Jiang Yuezhao, but Xiao Jun is still a little embarrassed, after all, the material of the clothes is very luxurious for his current status.

After a while, a young monk came and led Xiao Jun and Ning Cheng to take a bath. Ning Yunyu also sent a servant to follow.

After taking a bath, Xiao Jun led Ning Cheng out, and the night had completely fallen.

The little monk led Xiao Jun back to the room with a lantern, and left again.The changed clothes have been taken away by the servant, presumably for cleaning.

Xiao Jun and Ning Cheng sat and ate the cakes on the table boredly, thinking about how to sleep at night.The bed in the inner room is the most common bed in temples, the kind where several people sleep side by side, Xiao Jun thought, maybe three people squeeze together at night.

"Little prince, son, the prince sent a servant to lead the way," at this moment another servant appeared at the door.

Xiao Jun quickly patted the pastry crumbs on Ning Cheng's clothes, and then led him to eat vegetarian food.

After all, Princess He Shan is a woman who has not left the pavilion, and it is inconvenient to have a fast meal with the monks in the temple. The abbot has arranged for someone to send the fast meal to the women's room.But Ning Yunyu and his party were all men, so they didn't pay so much attention. They ate in the temple hall with all the monks.

As soon as Xiao Jun entered, he saw shiny bald heads, like a row of neat eggshells under the light of yellowish candlelight, Xiao Jun smiled secretly.

The man led Xiao Jun to Ning Yunyu's table and sat down, then he went to sit down at the table and began to eat vegetarian food.

There are a lot of dishes on the table, but there are clear vegetable dishes, clear water cabbage, clear water bean sprouts, and a bowl of clear water tofu soup.

"Uncle Huang, this tofu soup is really delicious." Ning Cheng raised his head after taking a sip of the soup.

Ning Yunyu made a booing gesture at him, Ning Cheng turned his head to look around, the monks were all quietly eating their vegetarian meal with their heads down, without making any noise, their little heads immediately nodded obediently, and began to drink in a low voice. Soup.

After finishing the fasting meal, I went back to the wing room.Ning Yunyu took Ning Cheng by the hand, Xiao Jun followed behind, it was dark, the road was not very clear, and he almost stumbled a few times.

"You can also fall on flat ground," Ning Yunyu turned around impatiently and held Xiao Jun by the other hand.

Xiao Jun was taken aback, and wanted to struggle away, "I can do it myself." But Ning Yunyu held him tighter calmly, pulling him forward forcefully.Xiao Jun saw that Ning Cheng looked up at their movements curiously, and quickly became calm, hiding the hands he was holding back.

Back in the wing room, servants brought water for washing, and Ning Yunyu personally wiped Ning Cheng's face, feet, and mouth.Xiao Jun saw a picture of "the deep love between father and son", and couldn't help feeling that Ning Yunyu was quite careful.

"You guys go to bed first, I'll go take a shower." Ning Yunyu took his clothes and prepared to go out.

"Where do I sleep?" Xiao Jun asked hastily.

"Of course I slept here, is there another place for you to sleep?" Ning Yunyu said lightly, turned around and walked out.

"..."

Ning Cheng was a little tired, his eyelids started to fight up and down, hugged Xiao Jun's leg, and said sleepily, "Brother Xiao Jun, Cheng'er wants to sleep."

"Oh, okay, I'll take you to sleep."
