The morning in the mountains came early, and when I floated up, it was already full of morning light outside.He stood in front of the window and looked at the mountain road where people were coming and going, and the brothers and sisters were already busy.Yifu hurriedly put on his shoes and went outside, and took a cup of water from the water tank outside to wash his face.

Today he will continue to build the Buddhist hall, so he accidentally fell asleep early.After walking a few steps, I saw my senior brother coming to the yard with his small back basket, and called him in a drawn-out tone: "Yifu, I just saw that the pumpkin in the vegetable field is ripe, this melon is delicate, don't pick it when it's ripe." It's going to be in the rotten field. Why don't you go first and come when I finish picking the melons."

Brother Yiyuan, who was still a baby, was picked up by the master from the ruined temple when he was still a baby, and raised with shit and urine.Senior brother has always been quick-witted, honest and unconstrained, among all the disciples, he is the most favored by the presiding master, and he has a good relationship with the senior fellows.The only problem is that he was born with the bones of a rich man, and when he is lazy, he can't wait to pant for breath and wants to be replaced.

Yifu sighed secretly, took the basket, knowing that there would be more melons in the vegetable field today, so he replied casually: "It's done, I'll go first."

Yiyuan took out two crispy pastries wrapped in white paper from his pocket, and handed one to Yifu, "Here, I know you'll be late for dinner, so I secretly hid it for you." Yes, put the snack in his mouth after the mouth.He continued to eat, and said with peace of mind, "Don't take the opportunity to be lazy when the senior brother is not here. Hurry up and work hard. If you delay, the master will scold you. Be diligent, don't procrastinate. Are you listening?"

Yifu put his snacks in his hands, and quietly took half a step to the side, avoiding the crumbs of the snacks he sprayed out, and said obediently: "Understood, thank you brother for the snacks."

Walk out of the courtyard and walk a short path to the back door of the main hall, and go out through the back door to the Buddhist hall.Yifu was not in a hurry, he walked slowly to the Buddhist hall, and the sun had already risen high.

He first piled up the gravel that he picked up yesterday and piled it in the corner of the wall. It seemed that there were not many of them - most of them were thrown into the grass by Yaobai.Yifu squatted in the grass and took a look, probably because Yao's hands were not strong enough, and the gravel didn't scatter very far.He took out the ones that could be picked up and put them away, and the rest mixed with the soil and grass was considered a waste.

After tidying up, I went to the stream, and then walked to the stream with a basket on my back.

At this time, the sun was not as gentle as it was earlier, the original orange-red light became white and bright, making people unable to open their eyes.Yifu scorched the top of his head, rolled up the cuffs of his trousers and concentrated on his work.He has to go to shallow water, fish out the mud from the bottom of the water, and then wash the mud away with running water, so that the remaining fine sand and gravel can be used.This work is not tiring at first, but it is another matter under the sun.Fortunately, the stream melts from the snow on the top of the mountain, which is cool to the bone.When it was really hot, I walked upstream and washed my face with water.

With the effort of two sticks of incense, one float scoured back the first box of gravel.As soon as he stepped into the Buddhist hall, he saw Yao Bai sitting on the ground, in the same position as yesterday, even with his back turned sideways.I don't know where he picked a lotus leaf and folded it upside down above his head to shade it.

Before leaving yesterday, Yaobai said that he would come here often, Yifu was happy to hear that, but he didn't expect too much from his casual promise.Not to mention Yao Bai would come again so soon.

Yifu was about to call him first, Yaobai turned his head sideways one step ahead of him, his gaze paused on Yifu for a moment, and he said almost expressionlessly, "Good morning, Yifu."

He was not enthusiastic when he spoke, but very serious.

She returned to him with a floating smile, "Good morning Xiaobai."

There seemed to be a flash of daze on Yaobai's face, and it disappeared before he could catch it.He sat down next to Yaobai and asked him if he hadn't reconciled with his family yet.From Yifu's point of view, Yaobai must be a child from a good family, who grew up in books and is sensible.When he gets angry and loses his temper, he won't roll and kick and howl like the wild monkeys in the temple. He will just run out of the house alone and find a place where there is no one to feel sad secretly.

Sure enough, Yao Bai nodded after being silent for a while.

"It doesn't matter." Yifu took out the short pastry that he didn't have time to eat from his pocket, broke off a large piece and gave it to Yaobai, took a small piece for himself, and comforted him while eating: "My master said that in this world, except for birth, old age, sickness and death, the rest You can let go of the big things in your mind, so you won't have so many troubles."

Yao Bai took a bite of the dim sum, the taste was not good, the sweetness was very weak, but the smell from Yifu was rather strong.He took a second bite, eating very politely, just like Wen Bufan.He chewed very lightly and slowly, as if savoring some delicacies from mountains and seas. The tip of his nose was slightly reddish from the sun, and fine sweat oozes from his temples.

If he wasn't Wen Bufan...

Yao Bai thought, if he wasn't Wen Bufan, he should be a likable child.

Yao Bai parted half of the lotus leaves on his head, "Let's cover them together."

As soon as he got closer, his little head hid in the shade of the greenery, "Thank you."

When he lowered his head, Yaobai saw the scar on his head, a long and narrow scar that almost took up the entire head, "How did you get it?"

"It was smashed by a drunk uncle." Yaobai looked at him, his eyes became different from before, and Yifu hurriedly said: "It has grown up, except that it is ugly, and the ring scar cannot be burned, the rest is nothing. "

"What is a ring scar?"

Yifu stroked the top of his head with his hand, and explained vaguely: "It is something that monks have. A monk without a ring scar will not recognize the Buddha in front of the Buddha."

Yaobai seemed to feel sorry for him, he looked at the scar on his head motionlessly, and after a while he said, "Do you want to get rid of the scar?"

There is a set of rules in a limited life experience, the first one is that people should not be too unique.I was treated coldly by my senior brothers earlier because I was different from them, everyone had ring scars, but he didn't.If there are any troubles worth mentioning in the past few thousand days, apart from not being able to eat enough at my uncle's house, the only thing left is the ring scar.So Yifu nodded without hesitation, "I want it."

He also said: "It's useless to think about it. What should be mine is mine, and what is not mine will never be mine." He didn't complain, but when he said this, he was calm and open .

Yaobai opened his mouth, as if something was on his lips, but he didn't know why he kept silent.After a while, when Yaobai finished eating the snacks in his hand, he pretended to ask casually: "If you get the ring scar, but you will never see me again, do you still want it?" ?”

Yao Bai's breathing slowed down, he didn't dare to take a look, and lowered his head to stare at the blades of grass on the ground.

"Of course not." Yifu said quickly, without hesitation, and took it for granted.

Yao Bai doesn't want to think about how many young people are blindly generous, and how many children in the mountains are ignorant of the world's goodness.So that for a long time in the future, he was apprehensive about the answer that Yifu blurted out, he seemed satisfied, but also dissatisfied.

"Yifu, what kind of life do you want to live?" The setting sun entered the forest, and two half-grown teenagers lay side by side under the ruined wall.Yao Bai's voice was light and drifting away, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"I..." Yifu closed his eyes, and the setting sun kissed his eyelashes, making his face as delicate as porcelain.He thought for a while before saying, "I want to lie down like this and live my whole life as soon as I open my eyes."

"Stupid." Yao Bai let out a lazy laugh, turned over and fell asleep.

Yifu opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Yaobai, with some surprise in his eyes.Although Yaobai's chuckle was so brief that it almost didn't exist, Yifu heard it clearly, like a flower suddenly blooming, and a "swoosh" rang in his ears.

Taking advantage of the gap between the sunset and the dark, I ran to the stream twice.Yao Bai woke up when he came back, and stood by the threshold as if to say goodbye to him.

"I'm leaving." Yao Bai said.

"Okay." Yifu nodded.

"I'll come tomorrow too."

"Okay." Yifu nodded happily, "I'll bring you pastries tomorrow."

"It's not necessary." Yao Bai paused before saying.

"It doesn't matter, I get up earlier, there are many in the dining hall."

"That's not what I meant." Yaobai's face was a little hard to explain, and the weird smell of bread seemed to come back from his mouth, "I said no because it's really unpalatable."

"..." Yifu froze on the spot in embarrassment, and said after a while: "Okay...okay"
