The way down the mountain is different from the way up the mountain. When we walked halfway, we came across a small temple with red walls and black tiles hidden among the trees.Liang Mingyue went around into the temple, there was no one in the temple, there was a thin layer of moss on the bluestone floor, trees were shadowed, a gust of wind blew past his back, You Xinghe took two steps faster, and pressed close to him.

Sakyamuni is enshrined in the main hall, the gold paint on the Buddha statue is mottled, and there are three half-burned incense sticks in the incense burner.Surrounded by eighteen arhats in different postures, some of them have lost limbs for unknown reasons.Most of the futons in front of the Buddha statue have lost their color.

Liang Mingyue knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed earnestly.He said: "The Bodhisattva here is very spiritual!"

You Xinghe saw him piously kneeling and worshiping, and couldn't help but knelt and kowtowed too.After Liang Mingyue finished knocking, she found that You Xinghe was still knocking, her buttocks pouted, and she knocked hard and earnestly, with half-wet hair hanging down the side of her face.

You Xinghe finally finished knocking, got up and found that Liang Mingyue was staring at him intently, he blinked at him, Liang Mingyue hastily looked away.

You Xinghe asked: "Have you made a wish?"

Liang Mingyue nodded slightly.

"What wish?"

Liang Mingyue didn't say anything, You Xinghe said: "I told the Bodhisattva, bless my mother to be fine."

Liang Mingyue looked at him, You Xinghe smiled wryly: "I was sent here because of my mother, otherwise you would have no chance to know me!"

"What happened to your mother?" Liang Mingyue was rarely curious.

"Killed!" You Xinghe saw Liang Mingyue's eyes widen suddenly, he was startled, his reaction was exactly the same as when he heard the news of Yuan Cuicui's murder, he was shocked, not disbelief.

"They said she killed someone!" You Xinghe said again.

Liang Mingyue said in a nasty voice: "That is to say, she may not have killed it."

"But, everyone said she killed it." You Xinghe sighed, he was not sure if Yuan Cuicui killed him.You Rihai said she was a crazy woman, he never denied it.She was indeed a madwoman, a madwoman he loved and hated.

"What about now?" Liang Mingyue asked.

"Shut it up and investigate the case." You Xinghe didn't know where he was going, and You Rihai didn't tell him anything.

"That's not necessarily what she killed." Liang Mingyue said.

You Xinghe smiled: "Are you comforting me?"

Liang Mingyue lowered his head, You Xinghe saw his black and red ears.He nodded and responded lightly: "Yes."

"I'm so pitiful, you have to treat me better in the future!" You Xinghe leaned on him.

Liang Mingyue paused, You Xinghe hugged him sideways, his arms were wrapped around his chest, the damp heat spread from his chest to his arms, he didn't dare to move, when he looked up, he saw the statue of Sakyamuni, with a pair of With half-opened Buddha eyes, he looked at him with a half-smile.

"Did you hear that, you will treat me better in the future!" You Xinghe tapped his shoulder with his head.

"En." Liang Mingyue responded to the Buddha statue.

Satisfied, You Xinghe let go of him, kowtowed to the Buddha statue three more times, then got up and said, "Let's go."

When stepping out of the temple gate, Liang Mingyue said suddenly: "I hope my father can live longer, Mingzhu can learn something, and Mingyu can go home."

You Xinghe froze for a few seconds before realizing that he was talking about the wish he made with the Bodhisattva.

"What about yourself?" He turned around and asked him without thinking.

Liang Mingyue stopped on the steps of the temple gate with a blank face.

"I just told Bodhisattva that I will be admitted to the dance academy in the future and learn to dance well." After You Xinghe finished speaking, he asked him again: "What about you, what are you going to do in the future?"

Liang Mingyue raised her head and looked into the distance, but the dense trees blocked her view, and she could only see a little bit of the distant scene through the cracks in the trees. There were also mountains in the distance, one after another.He walked down the steps and said when he passed You Xinghe: "Let's go, if you don't go down the mountain, it will be dark!"

You Xinghe looked at the sky, facing the scorching sun, and muttered: "How can it be, it's still early!"

Liang Mingyue had gone far away, You Xinghe looked back, and he could still see the Buddha statue in the main hall through the temple gate.He pursed his lips, turned around and quickly followed Liang Mingyue.

"When you were studying, were your grades particularly good?" You Xinghe caught up with Liang Mingyue and asked.

Liang Mingyue didn't answer, You Xinghe sneered: "Looking at you, you don't seem to be a good student, but you are very similar to the gangster boss in our school!"

You Xinghe recalled the appearance of the gangster's boss, it seemed that he was not as strong as Liang Mingyue, nor was he as good-looking as Liang Mingyue, that boss's mouth was too big.

"If you are in our school, you may be the boss of the gangster boss!"

Liang Mingyue glanced at him: "No."

"You haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?" You Xinghe stared at Liang Mingyue's arm, the undulating muscles felt very powerful, he squeezed it, and it was as hard as he imagined.

"The gangster boss in our school doesn't have as much muscle as you do!"

Liang Mingyue waved her arms and shook him off.You Xinghe continued to talk nonsense, saying that students at his school fought with students, students fought with teachers, and he fought with others. Anyway, there was nothing related to study, as if his school life was all about fighting.

Liang Mingyue couldn't help interrupting: "You fight every day at school?"

You Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "Of course, a man is only a man if he fights!"

Liang Mingyue looked up and down at his slender arms and legs. He was very light and stretched gracefully when dancing.He shook his head slightly, as if in disbelief.

"Really, I don't want to fight, but someone wants to fight with me!" You Xinghe hastily added, proving that he was not lying.

"I think you look better when you're dancing, but you're definitely ugly when you're fighting." Liang Mingyue said, shaking his head because he couldn't imagine You Xinghe being beaten, he couldn't help the pain.

This sudden compliment made You Xinghe at a loss, he deliberately laughed a few times to hide the joy and embarrassment rising in his heart.

"I look good fighting as well as dancing!" He defended with a fierce expression.

Liang Mingyue raised the corners of her mouth, You Xinghe's face was hot, and she whispered: "Actually, it's not every day to fight, but occasionally you still have to fight."

When you are in a bad mood, you always have to cause something to happen, such as beating someone or being beaten by someone. Only the busy You Rihai has time to take care of him, and You Shichang and Yuan Cuicui will call him.Everyone cares about him.

Liang Mingyue laughed out loud, You Xinghe glared at him: "Don't laugh."

"What do you do when you're not fighting?" Liang Mingyue asked him.

"Sleep." You Xinghe sighed, his grades were a mess, he was the bottom of the class.You Rihai hired many tutors for him, but none of them worked.

"I hate studying, I hate class, I feel dizzy when I read books! My brother still wants me to study for an MBA, let me study abroad, just kidding, I'm not that material at all!" You Xinghe is very self-aware

"What a waste." Liang Mingyue sighed softly.

You Xinghe heard jealousy and pity, "Yeah, I also think it's a waste of time. Didn't you say that you should teach students in accordance with their aptitude? People who like to read should let him read more, such as master's, doctorate, postdoctorate, this A and that A, let him They enjoy reading. For someone like me who doesn’t like reading, why not let me dance, even if I break my leg, I’m willing to!”

You Xinghe's mind is full of dancing and singing, he only likes to do those.He asked Liang Mingyue: "Do you like reading very much?"

Liang Mingyue nodded slightly.

"You look much smarter than the gangster boss in our school. In our school, you must be the kind of person who is good at fighting and good at fighting. This kind of person is the most popular among girls." You Xinghe talked about fighting again.

Liang Mingyue sighed, You Xinghe smiled, he looked into the distance and said: "I think you are the kind who can do a master's degree or a doctorate, and you can do any A's, you are different from me."

Liang Mingyue looked at him, You Xinghe said these words very seriously, "Sometimes I also think that I can like to study." In this way, so many people will not be disappointed with him.

"I want to be a chef in the future and work in the city." Liang Mingyue said.

"Overkill!" You Xinghe said.

Liang Mingyue laughed, whether it was him or You Xinghe, there were too many choices and helplessness.

"I think your father wants you to study like your older sister." You Xinghe recalled what Liang's family had said that day.

Liang Mingyue asked him, "Are you hungry?"

He intentionally skipped the topic, and You Xinghe answered him angrily: "I'm not hungry!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a grunt in his stomach, revealing the secret.You Xinghe thumped his stomach: "You really don't live up to it!"

Liang Mingyue smiled and strode forward.Already at the foot of the mountain, you can see the farmland and the smoke from the cooking in the village in the distance.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the village, Liang Mingyue was called to stop by the villagers. The aunt asked him, "Mingyue, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere!"

The aunt's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.Liang Mingyue said: "I went up the mountain, what's wrong?"

"An accident happened at the third grandpa's house!" The aunt shed tears after she finished speaking.

You Xinghe hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

"Your third grandma is gone!"

Liang Mingyue ran away, and You Xinghe followed.After running through a few alleys, I heard people crying from a distance, and many people were crying.

Liang Mingyue ran into a small courtyard, and You Xinghe followed. There were many people standing or sitting in the courtyard. The women were crying loudly, and the men lowered their heads to wipe away their tears.

Liang Mingyue passed through the crowd and squeezed into the main room, where someone was busy arranging, hanging paper flowers and white cloth, the black coffin had already been laid out, he leaned over to see that there was no one in the coffin.He grabbed a young man and asked, "Where is the third grandma?"

The young man pointed to the next room. Liang Mingyue rushed in and knelt down beside the bed. The third grandmother was lying on the bed, already put on a black shroud.Several aunts are helping her wash her face and comb her hair.

You Xinghe stood at the door, not daring to go in, this was the first time he saw a dead person.He saw Liang Mingyue grabbing the old man's hand, crying silently by the bedside, her body trembling.The white-haired third grandfather sat beside him with his back bent, lowering his head and wiping away his tears.There were other people standing in the room, old and young, all crying and wiping away their tears.Everyone cried quietly, without the kind of crying that was shown on TV, You Xinghe felt even more depressed, and retreated to the yard, the blue sky and bright sun made him dizzy.He sat down in the corner, and in the blink of an eye, he also shed tears.

The Taoist priest who practiced the style came soon, and the suona blew, and the sky seemed to be a little dark.There were people coming and going in the yard, most of them were villagers, and everyone had genuine sadness and sadness on their faces.Some old people were even helped to enter the door, and they probably cried all the way.

You Xinghe was called to help, cut white cloth with an old couple to distribute to mourners as filial cloth.The old man cuts, You Xinghe folds, and moves out after folding.You Xinghe did it carefully.As soon as he finished his work, he was called away again and went to the door to help carry firecrackers and paper money.Others saw that he was thin, so they only gave him relatively light paper money. He was walking in with a bag on his shoulders, when the red-eyed Liang Mingyue came over and wanted to take the bag from his shoulder.

You Xinghe avoided him: "I can do it." Liang Mingyue ran outside and brought in two bags of firecrackers, and followed him.The two went back and forth several times, and finally finished moving.It was already dark, and the yard was lit, and the Taoist priests sat under the dim light, preparing for the evening ceremony.

Firecrackers sounded outside, and someone shouted: "Da Li answered."

You Xinghe watched a middle-aged man being driven in, crying out: "Mum-I'm late-Mum-I'm back--"

Liang Mingyue said, "That's the eldest son of the third grandfather's family, who just came back from the city."

You Xinghe lowered his head when he heard the man crying like a child.Liang Mingyue grabbed his hand, and he held it back.

"If my mother is convicted, she may be sentenced to death." He choked up.

Liang Mingyue held on tighter: "No."

The sound of firecrackers stopped, and the crying of the man continued.

You Xinghe lowered his head and wiped his tears, Liang Mingyue turned his head away, tears streaming down his face.
