The boy saw everything and said,””You are not people of the temple and are only staying for a night. There is no need to pay such a big bow. If you still need to leave the mountain, you can leave. ”
She did not get up and continued to ask in concern,””Little brother …”
When the boy heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
Her sharp eyes did not miss this. Seeing the man’s expression, she laughed dryly and quickly explained,””Oh, don’t mind me. I just feel that you look younger than me, so it’s not appropriate to keep calling you Sir.”
“If you still want to say something, just say it.” The man seemed to have accepted her explanation.
She continued,’now that the host has passed away, it can be considered a complete achievement. What’s your next plan? I saw that only you and the old Abbot are left in this temple. ”
The man looked into her eyes and felt that she gave him a sense of security, so he opened his heart and said,””You don’t have to call me sir, nor do you have to call me little brother. I’m not a monk, my name is Cheng Ningyuan, my parents abandoned me not long after I was born. I grew up with the host, and now that he’s gone, I don’t know where I’m going next …”
PEI GE instantly felt pity for him and felt that his fate was worse than her own.
“The dead can’t be brought back to life,” he comforted her gently.”Although those who believe in Buddhism don’t believe in life and death, they think that death is just a way to another time and space to continue life. However, I can see that you have deep feelings for the host, so I hope that you can pull yourself together as soon as possible. Can you tell me about your background? Perhaps I can help you find your parents …”
Actually, from the first time she saw this man, she felt that they hit it off very well. This was especially so after he had helped her on the mountain yesterday. She felt that she could not just leave him like this.
The boy looked at her and continued,””When the host was still alive, he told me about my past. In the past, a China couple had come here to play. At that time, the incense offerings were still good, at least not as bleak as it was now. Because they saw that the host was also a Chinese who had stayed in Japan after the war, they begged the host to let them stay here for two nights. At that time, the old host would never have thought that I, a baby who was not even half a year old, would be abandoned by the China couple …”
Speaking of this, Cheng Ningyuan seemed to be a little sad. He lowered his eyebrows and did not continue.
She could tell that he was sad, so she patted his shoulder.
He raised his young face and said,””I’m 16 years old this year. The old host knew that he was beyond cure, so one night, he took my hand and told me all this …
Before this, I’ve always thought that I was an orphan without parents, without a family name, without a name. Since I was young, the abbot never called my name. He only told me what I should do in the temple every day …
I’ve always been very cold to you, and I don’t know what kind of family warmth is … Until yesterday, when I came back from the mountain to collect Chinese medicine for you, I saw that you were almost … I finally realized …”
After saying this, Cheng Ningyuan began to sob again.
PEI GE finally understood that this child was just like her, a weed floating in the sea of people … And could only let fate decide where she would go …
She gently hugged Cheng Ningyuan, who was crying like he had lost his beloved toy. Ignoring the swelling on his foot, she kept saying,””It’s fine, you’re not alone … Everything will be fine …”
Wen Xin, who had been waiting outside for a long time, heard the man’s sobs from time to time but did not see any movement from PEI GE, so she hurriedly shouted,””Sister Pei Pei, are you okay?”
She immediately shouted,””Wenxin, I’m fine. Don’t come in just yet. It’s a little inconvenient.”
Wen Xin sighed deeply at her immediate response and quietly tidied up the yard, thinking of washing up before going down the mountain.
Recalling that Wenxin was still waiting outside, she let go of Cheng Ningyuan and said,””Ning Yuan, Did you know? In fact, my background is not better than yours. I have lost my past memories and there is a man who met a bad man. He indirectly caused the death of my mother and even selfishly killed our child. I often stare at the endless desert alone, and I don’t want to live anymore …”
The young and inexperienced Cheng Ningyuan was stunned. He did not expect that there were so many unfortunate people in the world.
Seeing his expression, she continued,””But fortunately, I met another man, and he was the one who led me out of this predicament. In this world, you have to know that living on means infinite possibilities. So you can’t despair. If the old Abbot was still alive, he wouldn’t want to see you like this. Are you willing to believe me?”
Actually, the fact that Cheng Ningyuan was willing to tell her about his family background meant that he had already tacitly acknowledged her as someone he trusted.
Cheng Ningyuan had never felt a father’s or a mother’s love since he was a child. Suddenly, someone like an older sister hugged him and comforted him. Cheng Ningyuan felt more relaxed and happy than ever.
He looked at her and stiffly nodded.
She smiled knowingly and continued,””If you really believe me, then promise me that we’ll help the old Abbot with his funeral arrangements and you’ll come with me. If we return to China together, we might be able to find your parents. You can ask them why they abandoned you when you were young. Do you want to do that?”
Cheng Ningyuan’s words were no longer as cold as last night, but had warmth and vitality.””Of course I want to! But … Wouldn’t that be too difficult? I never left this place? I don’t know what life is like outside the foot of the mountain … For so long, the furthest I’ve been is to go down the mountain to help the old Abbot buy some daily necessities and Exchange some vegetable seedlings with the villagers …”
“Don’t worry about that. The man I know is called Shen Feng. He’s a very good person and will definitely help you with me. Besides, the world outside is not as complicated as you think. Wenxin and I are from outside the county. Do you think we’ve hurt you?” PEI GE asked Cheng Ningyuan in return.
Cheng Ningyuan shook his head with certainty.
PEI GE was very satisfied with this child’s naivety. It had been a long time since she had met someone as warm as her family, and she had already made up her mind to bring him along wherever she went.
