Through the book is calculated by the little black lotus

While eating, the young man looked at the plum garden. A few petals fell from the plum tree, some on the treetops, some on the broad leaves, and some on the ground.

The fallen petals are colorful, and the green leaves are in harmony.The breeze comes through the trees, feeling the fresh and sweet air, and the warm sun is scattered, neither hot nor cold, and the mood naturally calms down.

Shi Kong's house is built in the middle of the plum garden, surrounded by plum trees, fruits and vegetables, the whole house is made of moso bamboo, and the interior decoration is even simpler.

There is only one table, two benches, and a desk.The bed was made of straw mats, without pillows, and the mattress was folded like a square tofu.

Seeing that Shi Kong opened his eyes slightly, the young master said, "Shi Kong, have you spent the afternoon meditating like this?"

"...Most of the time, but not today, I have to do something."

"Huh? What are you going to do?" The young man asked while cooking rice.

"Today I'm going to take care of the West Courtyard. Because no one has lived there for a long time, it is now full of rocks, weeds, and dust. Go take care of it, and the benefactor will live more comfortably."

"Oh~ that's it! Then I'll go with you, just to exercise!" The young man laughed.

Hearing this, Shi Kong smiled slightly and shook his head, "Benefactor Bai's kindness is appreciated by the poor monk, but cleaning the house is a rough job, so the poor monk can go alone! Don't bother the benefactor Bai!"

The young man put down the bowls and chopsticks, and patted Shi Kong on the shoulder, "Shi Kong, you are good at everything, but you are too polite. This is not good. Next time you talk to me, just call me by my name. Take a bite of it as a benefactor. It's so awkward, don't call yourself a poor monk, just "me"!"

"Ah... this... this is not polite."

"What is etiquette? We are the only ones here, and we still care about so many etiquettes. From now on, you will call me..."

The young man first thought of his big name (Bai Enci), then his nickname (Xiaobao), and then remembered that he was in the age of the crown and had words.

what do you say that is?

The young man tilted his head to think about his own words, "Zi Chu!" The young man suddenly shouted.

"You can call me Zichu! Zichu is my name, and no one has called it before!" The young man's eyes sparkled, as if he was very happy.

As soon as the words fell, Shi Kong murmured softly: "Floating life is like a dream and the wind blows wrinkles, and the moon is clear and the wind is from Zichu."

Then he suddenly realized, "...this is not proper etiquette, how can the poor monk offend Bai Benefactor!"

"Where is this offensive? It's offensive if you don't call it. Okay, it's settled like this. You call me Zichu, and use "I" to refer to yourself."

When Shi Kong heard the words, his face was very embarrassed, he kept shaking his head silently, he really didn't dare to say that.Why!

When I came over to make an appointment for a cup of tea, the young man put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "I'm full. Let's tidy up and let's go to the east courtyard to clean up!"

"Huh? Use "I"!" The young man interrupted him.

Shi Kong smiled, "Wait until I have cleaned up the dishes before going."

"Well, I'll clean it up with you!"

As they said that, the two cleaned up the food, and then went to the west courtyard with rags, brooms, sickles, hoes, etc.Bai Enci carried a hoe and followed Shi Kong with a towel around his neck, talking and laughing all the way to the two gates of the west courtyard. The two of them stopped talking for fear of disturbing the people inside.

Shi Kong knocked on the door first, "Benefactor Xia, are you at home? The poor monk is Shi Kong, and he is here to clean up the yard."

West Courtyard: ...

unmanned?

Shi Kong knocked on the door again and asked, but still no one responded.After hesitating for a while, Bai Enci said, "I'm sure you're not at home! Shall we go back?"

Shi Kong shook his head, "If we go back, I'm afraid that benefactor Xia won't be able to rest tonight!"

After a pause, he said again: "Let's go in and take care of the yard first. When he comes back, we'll clean up the house."

Bai Enci nodded in agreement, so he opened the door of the west courtyard first.As soon as I entered the door, I saw a corridor sandwiched by weeds as high as an adult's waist, and grasshoppers jumped around.The door of the main room was tightly closed, and it seemed that the owner was not at home.

So the two each took a sickle to cut the grass, which Bai Enci had never done in his original life.

This is his first time doing farm work. It's a joke, he doesn't even know how to hold a sickle!

Bai Enci's eyes were fixed on Shi Kong's movements, and he saw that he was holding a sickle handle, his movements were light and smooth, and he cleaned up the weeds and thorns in front of him in a short while.But every time he cuts a piece of grass, he closes his eyes and recites Buddhist scriptures.

Bai Enci didn't read those words, he imitated Shi Kong and waved the sickle on the grass roots, but how could the grass be so strong?

Can't cut it off!The sickle is stuck on it too!

Bai Enci pulled the sickle hard, but suddenly it was too hard, the sickle slid over the slender weeds, and with his strength, it slashed straight at Bai Enci.

Bai Enci's mind went blank immediately, thinking that he was dying.Shi Kong turned his head, trying to stop it.

"Crack!" The sickle was knocked down, and a small stone rolled down at the same time.

Bai Enci opened his eyes and found that the sickle had fallen to the ground. He lowered his eyes and saw a sunken mark on the surface of the sickle.He thought it was Shi Kong who saved him, so he ran over and said, "Shi Kong! Thank you for saving me! Wow! I thought I was going to die!"

Shi Kong said embarrassingly: "I didn't save you, when I was about to strike just now, the sickle had already been knocked down,"

Bai Enci looked up, "It's not you? Who could it be?"
