City N is located on a plain, and most of the mountains are not high.This mountain road used to be the only way to enter the city. Later, with the construction of the tunnel, it was gradually abandoned. Now the weeds on both sides of the road have grown to the depth of the calf, and there are no pedestrians along the way.

At the end of summer, the trees are still lush, and today is indeed a sunny day.Sheng Min had a good night's sleep, and his energy was much better than last night. He also ate breakfast. He praised the old lady for her good cooking skills, which made the other party laugh. She wished she could fry two more eggs for him. Only her eyes were still slightly red and swollen.

He didn't understand what he meant, and when he said he was looking for a tree, Li Xuan would accompany him on a aimless stroll, stopping and stopping only according to his mood, just like an ordinary outing.I didn't see any special trees, but picked up a bunch of wild flowers that fell by the roadside.

Stopping, saw a Buddhist niche on the mountainside, half a person's height, offering a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, holding a pearl in his left hand and a tin staff in his right, standing on a green lotus flower with thousands of leaves.

Pray for peace and get rid of karma. This is a detour, and there must be frequent accidents, so the Bodhisattva statue will be placed to ward off evil spirits.What the world can't pray for, always pin their hopes on gods and Buddhas.

Now it has not been enshrined for a long time, and it is covered with dust.

But Bodhisattvas don't care about worldly contacts, and they are always lenient and benevolent.

Sheng Min picked up another white single-petalled hibiscus from the bush.

"Let me do it." Li Xuan was afraid that he would be exposed, so when he left the noodle shop, he borrowed two straw hats, which came in handy at this time, and one was already filled with all kinds of fallen flowers, so he naturally wanted to take it.He handed another top to Sheng Min.

"I won't pick it up anymore." Sheng Min smiled lightly, took it over but raised his hand to cover Li Xuan's head, as if discussing the weather, and told him in a casual tone, "The place where the car accident happened is said to be on this mountain."

Li Xuan had guessed it, looked at Sheng Min's expression, and didn't answer for a moment.

"Did you see a tree that looked like it was broken along the way?"

Unable to deceive Sheng Min, he raised the brim of his hat and said restrainedly, "I didn't pay much attention... If the root is injured, it won't last long. Maybe it died or was dug away."

"I saw a lot of them and thought they were similar, but I didn't think so." Sheng Min looked relaxed and looked around. The closest thing to him was a tall white locust tree.This kind of cheap and easy-to-live tree can be seen everywhere in N City. This tree is lush with branches and leaves, towering into the sky. It is near the end of its flowering period and has begun to bear fruit. There is absolutely no trace of being hit.

"It's okay, just stay here."

He carefully wiped off the dust on the statue of the Bodhisattva, picked out two of the most complete ones, bent down and placed them beside the Bodhisattva, bowed softly, turned around, raised his arms slightly, and the rest of the fallen flowers followed the bodhisattva.The roots of the tree rustled down.

Sheng Min focused on watching the petals fall into the mountain stream, one after another, like a short late funeral.

"I wanted to buy paper money."

Li Xuan had walked to his side at some point, and gently held his hand. Sheng Min turned to look at him, as if sharing a sweet candy, and told him: "But I don't like it. I live a lot longer."People are all for money, and they are no longer alive. Why should they suffer this kind of suffering? She probably wouldn't like it...Let's just leave it like this, it's better to spend. If she really exists, then I've been here, and she knowsThe Bodhisattva also knows, and will forgive me."

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva behind him lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and the sunlight scattered through the gaps in the trees, shining like holy light.

"Do you remember?" He raised his face, smiled and said to Li Xuan, "When we first met, I made you angry. You didn't go back with me, and you sat under someone else's roof to get wet...it must have annoyed me to deathRight? But when I found you, you didn't say anything harsh, just put on a straight face and said I was a clay bodhisattva."

"Were you afraid at the time?" Li Xuan remembered that he had a nightmare that night.

"I'm so panicked, I'm afraid you won't go back with me, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Sheng Min thought it was just a fun memory when he talked about it again. Li Xuan looked at the Bodhisattva statue behind him, it was not in the majestic palace or among the mountains and fields, it was not majestic but compassionate.

It is said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rescued his mother in his previous life and went to hell three times.Because of making great vows, all the bodies are exhausted, and only then can Bodhi be proved.

Did you save it?Are you exhausted?

Who will save the Bodhisattva?

"Can I make you a golden body?"

With a slight movement in his mind, he gently grabbed Sheng Min's hand.When Sheng Min was stunned, he lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, and whispered softly: "It's fine as a clay Buddha, I'll make you a golden body."

The wind blew the leaves rustling, and when Li Xuan stroked his lips, Sheng Min finally came back to his senses.

"Don't talk nonsense, the Bodhisattva is..." He struggled slightly, Li Xuan immediately frowned, gasped slightly, and licked the small wound on his lower lip.

"Did you meet it?" Sheng Min was nervous to see, but let Li Xuan hold his waist and successfully stole a kiss. Before Sheng Min frowned, he said softly: "So what if the Bodhisattva is watching, the sky is full of gods and Buddhas to witness."It doesn't matter, who can say that I am not sincere."

The words were obviously flirting, but Li Xuan's tone was very serious. Sheng Min didn't know how to answer him for a while, but the latter just smiled casually and stroked the broken hair on his forehead: "Besides, you know, I don't believe this, I just believeyou."

It happened to be lunch time when we dawdled down the mountain, and we had eaten at the same restaurant. Before leaving, Li Xuan did not forget to repair the water heater.

"It's just a bad connection of the igniter, just run the wire again."

"You also said you wouldn't."

"Originally no, you didn't think I would." While backing up the car, Li Xuan motioned for him to use his mobile phone to look up the history, confidently, "Check it now, it's similar to connecting to a computer host."

Sheng Min pouted: "Oh." Then a calendar reminder popped up on the message bar, "Are you going to have a meeting tonight?"

"You said the one at seven o'clock?" Li Xuan said casually, "There is a co-branded milk tea.Let's talk for another round... I don't have to go, Qi Boyuan is going anyway."

"Why don't you go..."

Li Xuan glanced at him, Sheng Min shook his head: "I'm fine, you go."

"It's fine." Li Xuan didn't want to be too nervous, but magnified Sheng Min's emotional problems, "I'm taking you home, I'll go there again, it's not far away."

Sheng Min nodded, and saw him turning right, turned on the side road, and reminded him, "Go back to the city and go to the left."

"I know." Li Xuan smiled, "The store where you buy sweet-scented osmanthus candy is more than ten kilometers away from here. I saw it when I came here. I will accompany you to buy some snacks first."

"Your will..."

"In time."
