roommate she never sleeps

It rained a lot at that time, for three to five days at a time.

The people in the temple don't care much.Anyway, regardless of whether it is raining or not, the scriptures must be recited as usual.At that time Xu Changsi was already thirteen or fourteen years old. She sat under the eaves and looked at the lotus in the vat while the monks were chanting scriptures together.

She saw a drop of water on the lotus leaf, and remembered that there was also a drop on her lotus lantern, but that thing would only appear after the spell was used.Xu Changsi thought it looked good, so she used it all the time, and went to see her lotus lantern when she had nothing to do.

The raindrops fell on the lotus leaves one after another, and the sound of wooden fish rang again and again.Xu Changsi felt drowsy listening to the sound of the wooden fish and looking at the raindrops.

But she couldn't fall asleep, because at this moment a woman's thin voice sounded: "Oh, why is it raining! Forget it, forget it, hide here!"

Then a group of people carrying boxes and other things entered the yard.When Xu Changsi saw the red rope tied to the stick, he immediately understood that it was the procession to pick up the bride.

The abbot heard movement in the yard and came out to check.

He has always been kind-hearted and compassionate, so he allowed these people to take shelter from the rain here.Because there was a bride among those people, the abbot gave them a secluded wing and let the bride live alone.

When all the men entered the house, the woman opened the car curtain.The bride stretched out a hand and placed it on the back of the woman's hand.This hand is not as white and tender as Xu Chang imagined. On the contrary, this hand is extremely rough, and there is a cut on the back of the hand. One can tell that it is the daughter of a poor family who is used to work. .

The mother-in-law ignored Xu Changsi who was standing aside, and walked quickly to the wing with the bride by her arm without looking sideways.

The rain is still falling, and it has not stopped at night.

Xu Changsi doesn't live in the temple at night, she lives with her mother in the village outside.Early the next morning, Xu Changsi ran to the temple early.When her mother asked her what she was doing, she replied, "To see the bride."

"You can see where the bride is."

What mother said had some truth, but Xu Changsi still saw the bride.When she got there, she just caught up with the old woman to open the door and pour water outside.The bride was standing behind the old woman, holding a cup of tea.

The old woman closed the door immediately after pouring the water.

At this time, only Xu Changsi was left standing not far away.She was still thinking about the face of the bride she had just seen.Xu Changsi didn't read much, but he could still think of a few words at this time.For example Xiaojiabiyu, for example, the face is like a peach blossom.

In the evening Xu Changsi stayed at her home and worshiped her lotus lantern as usual.She had to place red candles on both sides of the lotus lantern first.

But today, she couldn't stop thinking about the bride, when she suddenly shook her hand and knocked over the lotus lantern.She hurried to protect.The lamp was fine, but the water droplets from the flower center stained her sleeves.

Xu Changsi didn't care about it.

The rain continued after that.At night, Xu Changsi was disturbed by the sound of rain and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply sat up and went to copy her Buddhist scriptures.

When I was a child, there was a shadow on the paper.Looking at the shape, it looks like a woman's hairpin.

Xu Changsi raised his head, facing a pair of autumn-like eyes.

Those eyes... Xu Changsi seemed to have seen them before.

Xu Chang thought about it, those were the bride's eyes.Just, shouldn't the bride be in the temple?Why are you here?

Moreover, there are a few wrinkles on the face of the person in front of him.

This person looks like a new bride.

"Why are you here?" Xu Changsi asked.

As if he didn't hear her words, the man took the lamp from her table and took it aside.Xu Changsi saw that she was doing her sewing with her head down, and ignored her at all.

Out of curiosity, she tried to tug on the man's sleeve.

However, she missed it.

She realized that this person was a fake, an illusion.

Xu Changsi had heard from the abbot before that some people would have inner demons during their practice.She remembered that she had been so obsessed with the bride's face during the day that she knocked over the lamp, her face became hot, and she hurriedly sat up straight.

She must have seen that man because she was thinking of the bride.

No, I must not be fooled by demons.

With such thoughts in mind, Xu Changsi picked up a pen and copied Buddhist scriptures while holding his breath.Because the lamp was taken away by that person, she could only sit beside him to copy.

One does needlework and the other writes with a pen.Beside the dim candlelight, the two did not interfere with each other, quietly.

Probably because of the effect of the Buddhist scriptures, the man's body trembled a couple of times during Choushi, and it burst open.

Xu Changsi was secretly happy that he had driven away his demons, but he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

She didn't dare to go to that temple again the next day, for fear that the phantom of the bride would come to her again at night.At night, she deliberately stayed up to see if that person would come.

Xu Changsi kept watch until Choushi.Just as she was about to take a break, she heard the sound of the stool behind her.

Someone moved the stool and sat on it.Xu Changsi found that compared with yesterday, the face of this phantom was a little older.

She didn't go to bed anymore, and this time she didn't copy Buddhist scriptures.She sat beside the woman and watched her work.

Xu Chang thought about how his parents were when they were together.After her father came back, he would often sit with his mother like this.The two of them didn't talk much, they just sat like this and could stay for a long time.

She hurriedly waved away her own thoughts, and turned to look at the woman's face.

Everyone says that a beautiful woman is easy to grow old, and life is a pity.But in Xu Changsi's eyes, although the woman in front of him was not as cute and gorgeous as when she was young, she was still very beautiful.She likes her face, eyebrows, eyes, nose, even those wrinkles.She was already very happy just looking at it like this.

It's a pity that at Yin Shi, this woman disappeared again.

The next day Xu Changsi was woken up by his mother shaking him.The mother carried the burden solemnly, took her with her, and went to the temple together.

Xu Changsi didn't know what happened, so he hugged his lotus lantern and followed behind his mother blankly.

The temple door, which was usually wide open, was now closed tightly. After my mother knocked several times, a monk opened the door and poked his head in.

"It's you guys, come in!"

From the words of the adults, Xu Changsi knew that a group of bandits would come to this area recently, and many of them chose to hide in the temple.As soon as Xu Changsi's mother got the news, she took her daughter to join her husband.

Xu Changsi didn't realize how serious the matter was.She just heard that the woman next to Miss Fang was in such a hurry at the moment, she scolded God for being short-sighted and it rained for so many days, otherwise they would have left long ago!

At night, Xu Changsi waited as usual.She was very patient and waited until Maoshi this time.But she did not expect that the girl Fang who appeared in front of her this time had white hair.

Xu Changsi remembered that he had been with that Miss Fang for a long time, and she didn't know what to do now.When it was dawn, when Miss Fang suddenly coughed violently and turned to the other side, she desperately grabbed her, as if she would not be like this as long as she was caught.

However, that was an illusion, how could it be grasped?

When the mother got up, she saw her daughter sitting at the table with tears on her face.

After the people in the temple hid for four full days, the rogues still found them.

What Xu Changsi remembers most clearly about this past event is that her father touched her head in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Girl, call me daddy."

"father."

She was hidden behind the Buddha statue by her father, and when she came out, the yard was full of mess.At this time, a piece of red cloth fell under her feet, with a few words embroidered on it.She picked it up and whispered: "A hundred years together, we will stay together forever."

They said that Miss Fang was taken captive by bandits.It was also said that Miss Fang was dead.

Xu Changsi suddenly wanted to laugh.Stay together forever?Her husband was not able to stay with her forever.Even, from a certain point of view, the person she had been with was Xu Changsi.She has seen how she looks when she is old, and has been with her when she is old.

Stay forever, stay forever...

But in fact, she can't stay with Miss Fang forever.

Xu Changsi kept reading these words. At the end of the reading, she had the illusion that Miss Fang was not dead, nor were her parents.She returned to the room, rearranged the lotus lanterns, and kept praying.

She was praying, praying for them to be healthy, safe and happy.That person was still alive, and she was praying for them.

I want to spend my whole life with my father, my mother, and the people I like.

Xu Changsi prayed for three full days, but it still rained during these three days.During this period, the surviving abbot also came to see her. The abbot said: "I told you that if one day you encounter something that you can't think about or see through, throw this lamp on the ground, and your mind will be clear immediately." .”

"Chang Si, break this lamp and live well."

The kneeling man paid no attention.

After the rain stopped, Xu Changsi had a dream.

She dreamed that the Bodhisattva was sitting on the lotus throne and said to her: "Since you are so infatuated, let you live for hundreds of years. I hope you can figure it out in these hundreds of years."

After dawn, Xu Changsi walked out of the yard step by step with the lotus lantern in his arms.

Outside the courtyard, someone left the red sedan chair carrying the bride there.

This sedan chair is so red and beautiful.
