Stay away from sick dogs [entertainment]

Then, they went to Burma.At the "nursing home" at the last stop, Shen Du donated a check to improve the indoor facilities.

Shen Du said: "I hope the elderly can know that the world has not forgotten them."

…………

After the "Public Welfare Tour" ended, several teams said goodbye to the sponsor and went shopping separately.

Because the nursing home is in Bagan, the most famous pagoda and sunrise are naturally inevitable.

This is a big Buddhist country, 85% of the people are Buddhists.There are pagodas everywhere here, known as the "country of pagodas". It is said that the number of pagodas in all parts of the country is about 10, and Bagan is the "city of ten thousand pagodas".

According to the recommendation, Jiang Yuan Shendu found a pagoda that he could climb to watch the sunrise.

Before going up the pagoda, Jiang Yuan saw a little girl selling the famous Pasheng Umbrella.Pasheng Umbrella is purely handmade, and its surface is made of pure cotton, which can shade the sun, but it is not weatherproof.Therefore, there are various patterns on the umbrella cover, which are very beautiful and beautiful. It is an important specialty of Myanmar and is very suitable as a gift.

Jiang Yuan picked and bought a red umbrella.The background color is red with black patterns, which is extremely delicate.

After climbing the tower and waiting for a while, the sun rose slowly.

Bagan Sun has lived up to its reputation.

Above, the clouds are reflected in orange and red.In mid-air, the light spread straight to both sides, adding color to the city.Below, clusters of tall shrubs are like gold leaf screens.Bagan is a huge plain, the yellow land is full of green plants, and among these bushes, there are layers of red brick pagodas with pointed tops, magnificent and solemn, and the voice of Buddha seems to be buzzing here.Between the sky and the earth, countless colorful hot air balloons are taking off.In the farthest distance, the Irrawaddy River flows.

"Ah..." Jiang Yuan gently supported the brick wall of the pagoda with two elbows, and because he was restless, he also opened the Pasheng umbrella in his hand. At this time, the umbrella bones were slanted on his shoulders, The canopy just covered his head.

Jiang Yuan was watching the sunrise, and Shen Du was watching Jiang Yuan from behind him.

So, in Shen Du's eyes, there was such a scene: in the distance, the sun was shining golden light from the orange-red clouds, the greenery was full of vitality on the flat and wide land, and the high tops of the pagodas passed through. Time and space are strewn across rows of stars, and countless hot air balloons are adorning the picture, and in front of him, a red Bosheng umbrella circled in front of his eyes, and a few seconds later, another Circle, after a few seconds, it will still be a circle.Under the umbrella, Jiang Yuan was wearing a white shirt. The morning wind bulged his shirt, and Jiang Yuan's waist was so thin that people wanted to hold it.And his subordinates are ruins of thousands of years.

Shen Du felt that he would never forget the situation in his eyes for the rest of his life.

"Shen Du," Jiang Yuan turned his head, tilted his umbrella, smiled, and said, "It's so beautiful."

"...Mmm." Shen Du looked at his face and said, "So beautiful."

During the following day, they walked several pagodas according to local recommendations, for example, the Ananda Pagoda, which is known as the "first pagoda".

Bagan temples require you to take off your shoes.Jiang Yuan's feet were white, stepping on the ancient bricks and stones, which made Shen Du's heart skip a beat.

This temple is square, covering an area of ​​[-] mu. The shape of the temple is completely symmetrical, and there is a long corridor on each side leading to the courtyard in the middle.And the center of this temple is the "National Treasure" Ananda Pagoda.The body of the white pagoda is exquisite and delicate, countless reliefs are interpreting the stories of the characters in the Buddhist scriptures, and there are two Buddhist caves.The spire of the corncob-style Indian-style pagoda is covered with gold leaf, and countless blood rubies are inlaid in it, which is dazzling, especially in the sun.The interior of the pagoda is full of statues, layer by layer, solemn and solemn.

Behind it is the largest Dama Yangji Pagoda, the tallest Ta Bingyu Pagoda...Compared with the pagoda, Jiang Yuan seems to prefer to come and go in the courtyard—walking casually among the ruins , I saw the monks passing by occasionally, wearing monk robes and drooping eyebrows.

When they reached the last temple, they caught up with a wedding.

Because it is a Buddhist country, many new couples in Myanmar hold their weddings in temples.

Several beautifully dressed girls are welcoming guests and sending out fake flowers.

"..." Shen Du walked up and asked, "Can we take a look?"

"Hmm..." One of the girls who knew a little English signaled to wait, then ran into the temple, asked the new couple's parents, and then came out again, nodded with a smile and sent Jiang Yuan and Shen Du each a vacation. roses.

So Shen Du pulled Jiang Yuan, raised his leg and went in.

The hall is covered with luxurious carpets, and beautiful flowers are offered in front of the Buddha.The groom is handsome and the bride is beautiful, all dressed in traditional costumes - the groom is a tube skirt "Longi" with a collarless double-breasted long-sleeved coat, and a "Gangbang" cap is wrapped around his head; the bride is a tube skirt "Temin" with a bun Standing up, the body is covered with a transparent gauze, and the gauze hangs straight to the ground.

Soon after, the wedding began.

A group of monks filed in to pray and chant sutras for the couple.The newlyweds maintained their kneeling postures, while a monk was eloquent, not only praying for blessings, but also reiterating Buddhist teachings.

When the prayer is over, the husband and wife hand over incense and gifts to the monks, and hold fruits on a silver plate. They worship Buddha, Dharma, monks, parents, and teachers. The elders tell the kindness of their parents, and the four parents bless their children.In the end, an elder asked the groom's palms to face down and the bride's palms to face each other, and to dip them into a silver basin full of flowers, wishing their lives to be as fragrant as flowers and as gentle as water, and they would never be separated.At the end of the ceremony, all relatives and friends scattered flower petals to them.

Jiang Yuan was quite moved.

"..." Shen Du turned his head.Jiang Yuan's face radiated light, white and bright.

"Okay, okay!" said the elder at this time, "Let's have a vegetarian meal together!"

Then there was a burst of crackling, and a group of guests followed the newcomer to another hall to have a vegetarian meal. "Giving vegetarian food" is also a part of the wedding ceremony of the newlyweds. The couple and the newlyweds provide meals for the monks in the temple, and they and the guests also eat the same food.

Because he didn't want to eat anymore, Jiang Yuan pulled his wrist: "Go back?"

Shen Du nodded: "Okay."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Yuan and Shen Du arrived at the door, the bride's parents smiled at them and said, "Let's eat together?"

Shen Du asked: "Will this be too troublesome?"

"It's okay." The hospitable woman's parents replied, "It's also good for foreigners who come from afar to attend the ceremony and give blessings. We have prepared enough wedding meals here."

"Thank you then." After thinking about it, Shen Du still didn't say much, he just reached out and took out a few 10000 kyats from his wallet, walked to the merit box in front of the Buddha, and stuffed it in with both hands.A monk saluted with palms together, and Shen Du learned to return the salute.He knew that the couple would not accept this kyat.

In the dining room, the first thing everyone performed was the ceremony of carrying the table and giving alms.The monks recite scriptures as usual, and then the newcomer lifts the round table and puts it down again, lifting seven or eight tables in a row, and the ceremony is considered complete.

The girls who had been distributing fake flowers at the door filed in one after another, and placed delicate dishes on the table in order.Jiang Yuan discovered that Burmese monks eat meat, and the table is full of typical Burmese dishes.

While eating, the professionals invited by the newlyweds began to perform.They sang songs and played drums, which was very lively.

And in the end, when the guests were full, everyone collected the food, cleared the tables, and started singing and dancing in the dining room.

Jiang Yuan looked at it with a smile, but when he looked at it, he heard Shen Du ask him: "Can you dance?"

"Huh?" Because the guests present were only dancing ballroom dances, not traditional Burmese dances, so he also looked at Shen Du and said, "Yes!"

"Then come." Shen Du walked in front of Jiang Yuan, stretched out his hand, held Jiang Yuan's, and gently pulled Jiang Yuan from the futon with a pull.

At the wedding banquet in a foreign country, Jiang Yuan didn't know anyone, so he didn't feel embarrassed or embarrassed, he held hands, put his shoulders on his shoulders, walked back and forth, left and right, and spun around.

In the center of the dance floor in the house, the veil covered by the bride "Temin" floated high and spun around, even enclosing the bride and groom.The surrounding hotels dance lightly, Jiang Yuan and Shen Du are in the corner.

Once, the tip of their noses almost bumped into each other, so Jiang Yuan laughed, and then he couldn't take it back, sometimes he looked into each other's eyes, sometimes he looked at each other, sometimes he didn't.Suddenly, he remembered the dances in many classic movies.

For example, in "Scent of a Woman", the tango between Frank and Donna is extremely beautiful.

People should dance.

Wedding, wedding.

Dancing together at a stranger's wedding banquet in a strange country, this should be a scene that will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

After the song ended, Jiang Yuan and Shen Du stopped and bid farewell to their master.The corner of Jiang Yuan's mouth was still hooked, and he didn't know what was going on, so he interlocked his fingers with Shen Du, and they walked out of the hall together.

Shen Du didn't let go of Jiang Yuan's hand, he asked, "Do you want to go to Mandalay?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said: "Good~" Mandalay is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Myanmar.

Walking all the way through the temple corridor and out of the gate of the temple, Jiang Yuan Shendu just left and took a car to take the night cruise to Mandalay.

…………

Cruise along the Ayeyarwady River.

It was pitch black on the river at night, and Jiang Yuan didn't look at anything.When I woke up, I was already in Mandalay.

During the day, we went to Mandalay Hill, Mandalay Palace, and finally, before the sunset, two people set foot on U Bein Bridge.

The U Bein Bridge is very long, 1200 meters long, starting from the green grass on the bank, plunged into the river, across the East Taman Lake, and then to the opposite bank.It is the longest teak bridge in the world, and all 1086 teak trees come from the demolished Ava Palace.There are a total of 6 pavilions at the head, middle and end of the bridge, which symbolize the "Six Harmonies Spirit" of Buddhism. It is called "Lover's Bridge". Lovers of men and women come to the bridge to pray for their eternal "harmony".

The sunset at U Bein Bridge is also one of the best places to watch the sun in the world, and it is very famous.

The bridge deck and piers are all made of wood, and Jiang Yuan has never stepped on such a long wooden bridge.It feels very different under the feet, creaking and muffled.There are no nails in the whole bridge, only tenons and tenons.

At this time, there are few people on the bridge, and some late monks pass by occasionally.They wore scarlet monk robes, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, coming and going.

About halfway through the walk, suddenly, the sun began to set.

The whole sky is orange, so is the lake, and the sun is like a golden disc with a golden tail.The tail landed on the lake, turbulent.The surrounding water is sparkling, piece by piece, wave by wave.A flock of birds flew around, black shadows flickering.Now is also a good season for local fishermen to catch fish and shrimp, so some fishing boats are floating on the water, and fishermen cast nets and work on them.

"Hmm..." Jiang Yuan wanted to watch the sunset in Uben, so he sat down on the bridge between the two gazebos.There are only bridge pillars on the U-Bein Bridge, and there is no other shelter, so Jiang Yuan found a piece of teak, put his arms around it, his legs forked, hugged the teak, and looked at the sunset.

Behind him, some monks come and go, as well as some lovers and tourists.The children ran and jumped, like countless little balls, rolling past in an instant.

"..." Shen Du also stretched his pants beside Jiang Yuan and sat down.He leaned inward, looking at the sky, a little slack, with one knee lying down and the other upright, one hand propped his body back, and the other lightly rested on the upright knee.

He said, "Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan made a long sound: "Huh?"

Some casually.

He felt that the past few days were really good.

Go to the children's home, go to the old people's home... to watch the sunrise in Bagan; visit thousands of pagodas; go to the wedding ceremony and dance of the newlyweds in Myanmar; come to this long teak bridge to watch the sunset over the long river.

Hey.

"Jiang Yuan," Shen Du said after a while, "we are going back to China."

"Yeah." Jiang Yuan replied, "I'm going back to work, back to the world of mortals."

However, Jiang Yuan knew that Shen Du still had something to say.During the filming, Shen Du once said to him, "The two of us will meet again in the 'Public Welfare Tour' two weeks later. Moreover, I had some things at that time... I want you to know everything."

Coincidentally, Jiang Yuan also wanted to finally confirm the reason why Shen Du kissed him in the previous life.

"Jiang Yuan," Shen Du said with an erratic voice, "I want to talk about my past... six years ago."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused, "Six years ago?"

"Yes," a group of birds flew past in front of my eyes, whirring like a gust of rain.Shen Du said, "Six years ago... I met a man."

Then, he told a story.
