Let's follow the king, little master

On the eighteenth day of the eighth month of Rui Dynasty 231, Li Mu had passed his birthday and officially turned ten years old.The vegetables grown in the mountains are also growing vigorously. Li Muzheng and Deng Zeran are picking vegetables together.

"Xiao Mu, someone is looking for you." Zhang Xia shouted at the bottom.

Li Mu wiped the sweat from his brow, and ran down the mountain. Panting, he was about to ask Zhang Xia who was looking for him, but before he could speak, Zhang Xia found the things in Li Mu's hand and said, "Your parents are here to see you." .”

Li Mu was taken aback, and just hurriedly ran to the foot of the mountain gate. The trot along the way raised a cloud of dust, and the image of his parents became clearer as he ran. Reliance is more about being strong. Now that I see my parents, all my strength is gone, and fragility and longing are instantly flooded.

Going straight to his mother's arms, Li Mu hugged her tightly.Mother Li's tears were already blurred, and she didn't know how many tears Li Mu shed after leaving. She missed her son all day long and became more and more haggard.

Feeling that his mother was crying, Li Mu held back the tears and persuaded his mother to be good. Mother Li looked at such an obedient son and cried:

"Mother really misses you. After giving birth to so many children, you are the most obedient and well-behaved. Mother can't bear you."

"I miss my mother too, and I can't bear to part with her. But there are rules in the temple, you can't leave without receiving the precepts."

"Mother knows, mother can't help it, you can't spend your first birthday at home. Mother is afraid that you will suffer."

"I didn't suffer, don't worry, mother, I can read and write here. You can see that my body has become stronger and I have grown in size. It's all because of practicing martial arts every day. I'm fine here, and my mother will also be fine when I go home. Only then can I have no burden here."

"Good son, my good son."

Father Li, who was smoking an earthen cigarette, looked at the two of them and said:

"Help your mother into the car, we're going back."

Li Mu obediently helped Li's mother into the car, and Li's father took a hug from the car and handed it to Li Mu, saying:

"Someone put this thing at the door of your house on your birthday. You know who it is, so don't let that person let it go. Your mother misses you all day, and seeing these things is even more unbearable. There are some family items in it." Eat." Father Li sighed, "Recite the Buddha well, pray for your mother more. Let's go."

Father Li got into the carriage and left, leaving Li Mu alone, holding his things, watching the flying dust slowly return to the ground, he turned around when he could no longer see the carriage.

He just walked a few steps when he heard the sound of a horse stopping abruptly. Li Mu turned his head expressionlessly. He just glanced at it unintentionally. He had already turned his head before realizing that it was Yu Che who was right away.

I don't know if it's because the backlog of emotions didn't come out when his parents arrived. Li Mu burst into tears, and then turned around and ran towards Yu Che. Li Mu ran over.Li Mu also put his legs around Yu Che, hugged Yu Che hard, still holding the package in his hand, tears fell drop by drop on Yu Che's back.

Along the way, Yu Che was a little nervous when he arrived at Congxiang, because he didn't know whether his intention would be accepted, but when he learned that Li Mu had arrived at the temple and was preparing to become a monk, Li Mu's mood was complicated and he couldn't do better Say what it's like.Some blamed myself for knowing so late, some blamed Li Mu's parents, and some blamed Li Mu. The most important thing was that the hope of becoming a monk was even slimmer. The middle smoke dissipated, leaving only the missing of release.

"Yu Che, I'm going to be out of breath." Li Mu said, breaking free from Yu Che's embrace.

Yu Che looked at the tearful man in front of him, and Li Mu also looked at Yu Che who was two heads taller than him, and sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Yu Che bent down and wiped Li Mu's face.

"I think I've grown a lot, but I'm still much shorter than you."

"You're still young, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and you've grown a lot." Yu Che said, "Let's go for a walk together."

"Yes." Li Mu nodded and got on the horse.

The tired horse can finally enjoy this moment of idleness, walking slowly with the two masters on its back.

Yu Che hugged Li Mu with his eyes closed, Li Mu suddenly grabbed Yu Che's hand and said:

"You came here in the same hurry as last time. Haven't you finished the dangerous thing you said?"

"Well, it's not finished yet, I miss you so much, so I'll come and see you."

"If this has to be done, I will offer you incense in front of the Buddha every day." Li Mu said innocently.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Yu Che remembered the reality. Looking at Li Mu's gray monk uniform, with a black belt around his waist and black ropes around his wrists and ankles, he thought it was cute, but it was still wrinkled. frown.

"Why didn't you tell me about it when I came to see you last time?" Yu Che was full of resentment.

"I didn't know I would come here. I've been alone for so many days. If you don't ask anything else, you're going to blame me first." Li Mu was originally aggrieved by his father, but when Yu Che said it, he still restrained his temper.

"I don't blame you. I just came here. I just take you away. You can go home and continue to be with your parents. No one can stop you."

"I'm not kidding when I want to become a monk. I'm fine here and I can't go home. Although my mother will be happy, my father will definitely blame me."

"Then follow me, okay?"

"No, I have already promised my father that I will be a good monk in the future." Li Mu said, "I can learn a lot here. Master Du Chi taught me how to read, and now I can read a lot of characters." Li Mu said and pulled After spreading Yu Che's hand, "I can write your name now. I asked the master specially." While speaking, he wrote Yu Che's name on Yu Che's palm, "But your name is really difficult to write, the strokes are too I have practiced for a long time." Li Mu looked up at Yu Che after writing, and asked with a smile, "Is the writing correct?"

Seeing Li Mu innocently smiling at him, Yu Che's name was written on Yu Che's hand, but Li Mu's name was written on Yu Che's heart, Yu Che nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, that's right."

"That's good. I haven't seen your name, and I'm afraid the words are wrong. Also, I still know a lot of medicinal materials, and I'm still practicing martial arts with masters of all principles, because practicing martial arts has made my body stronger." Li Mu let Yu Che speak. He squeezed his little arm.

In this way, along the way, Yu Che listened to Li Mu talking about all kinds of experiences in the monastery. Although they were all trivial things, Yu Che remembered them all in his heart, as if he had accompanied Li Mu through these lonely days.

Gradually, it was getting dark, and even though Li Mu's repeated pleas were ignored by Yu Che in the temple, seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them arrived at the gate of the temple, Li Mu said:

"I really want to go back. Zhang Xia knows that I will definitely tell my masters when I see my parents, but it's already dark and I can't justify not going back."

"Then you come out at night. I won't leave tonight. I'll stay in a hotel. How about I pick you up at night? I'll take you back tomorrow."

"No, I can't come out. Wait for another day..."

"I don't know when it will be another day, and I don't know if I will come back alive after I leave." Yu Che interrupted Li Mu.

"What are you talking about?" Li Mu pouted and turned to look at Yu Che, and dismounted a little angrily, "Although life and death are fateful, I shouldn't say such frustrating words. You will definitely live well Yes. I'm leaving, you should find a place to rest earlier."

"I'll wait for you here." Yu Che said.

Li Mu heard it but didn't look back, he wanted to accompany Yu Che in his heart, but the temple rules were strict, Li Mu went back to the temple, until he lay on the bunk and looked at the moonlight outside, thinking that Yu Che couldn't sleep.

So Li Mu opened the package brought by his parents.Inside was the cake made by his mother. Li Mu cherished the cake and put it away. There was another wrapped thing. When he opened it, he saw that it was a fruit. Needless to say, it was given by Yu Che. Thinking of what his father said, he saw the fruit pressed down again. Holding a piece of paper, Li Mu opened it, and there was a picture of two people sitting under a tree.Li Mu closed the paper, put away all his things, and secretly walked outside the temple.
