A beautiful woman.

The woman's face is in the shadow, and her slim figure is outlined by the close-fitting cheongsam. It is cut by the light and fixed in the door frame, like a painting from a long time ago, with a long lasting charm.

Although he has not yet seen the woman's appearance, Ye Sansheng has no reason to doubt her beauty just because she stands tall and has such a windy willow-like figure.

He hesitated for a moment, not daring to take the initiative to say hello. He nodded slightly to the woman in the shadow and turned to his room on the other side.

Taoist Wang has many friends, and he is his guest from all religions and is also his rich man. Moreover, this row of wing rooms is a house built behind the temple. The money paid by Taoist Wang himself does not belong to the temple. There are many people who work as volunteers in the temple.

Middle-aged and elderly women stay here, and there are also many outsiders and some lonely people living here. Therefore, although it is unexpected for such a woman to appear here, it is not surprising.

This row of back rooms is three stories high, with more than ten rooms on each floor. It is quite spacious. Ye Sansheng lived in it when he was very young. In his memory, this place was his home. He later went to the city to study, and Taoist Wang also continued to live there.

Reserve his room. Sometimes when there are many people staying overnight, he will use it and arrange for people to stay there.

Ye Sansheng found the key on the door lintel and opened the door. A stale smell hit his face.

Ye Sansheng turned on the light, took a quick look, and stood at the door, preparing to wait for a while for the air to change enough before going in.

Then, it started to rain.

Heavy rain in summer.

It has been sultry all day. The rain has only come down now that Ye Sansheng has arrived at his destination. Ye Sansheng feels that he is very lucky. He stands in the corridor and watches the raindrops rolling and flashing in the night, like arrows, hitting the ground with a crackling sound.

.

In just a few seconds, the rain started to pick up, weaving into a curtain to block his eyes. The accumulated water poured down from the roof of the building, and the wind blew against him, bringing with it the cool air of the rain. Ye Sansheng felt extremely comfortable.

I want to throw off all the clothes on my body and rush into the rain to wash myself off.

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice asked faintly:

"Are you Xiaoye?"

Ye Sansheng was startled. When he looked back, he saw that the woman he saw when he went upstairs just came over.

Her face was still hidden in the shadows.

"I am Ye Sansheng. Who are you?"

Ye Sansheng was familiar with every plant and tree here, and there were many people coming and going, so he was not afraid and asked softly.

"There is no need to mention my name. Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is no difference between name and reality."

The woman's voice was softer, so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it could be heard clearly amid the noisy rain.

Ye Sansheng smiled bitterly.

Since he was in this temple, he has been immersed in the way monks talk about Buddhism and Taoism with people, often making sarcastic remarks and making mysterious remarks. On the one hand, he does not understand, and on the other hand, he feels that he cannot go in that direction. Taoist Wang also always teaches him in private,

In this world, people should do more and talk less about Zen. At this time, the woman said something out of nowhere, and he didn't know how to answer it.

After facing each other in silence for a while, Ye Sansheng said, "I just came back from Jiangcheng and am ready to rest."

The woman was silent for a moment and then said: "Someone left a light in the houseboat. In order to guide the fishermen returning at night, the light was poured silently onto the boat, so that those lost boats could struggle to revive in the light of the waves."

Ye Sansheng shook his head and sighed.

He can be sure that this is another idiot trapped in love, or a middle-aged literary and artistic woman. She is sensitive, fragile, and can become the enemy of the whole world when things go wrong, feeling that the whole world has abandoned her. He has stayed here since he was a child and has seen many things.

The crazy men and women who come and go.

When he was wondering how to persuade her, the woman said: "Your master is the one who transmits the light."

After saying this, the woman turned around and left quietly, leaving Ye Sansheng with a blurry background in the night.

The sound of rain seemed to be her background music.

Early the next morning, Ye Sansheng woke up and felt that he had lost something or forgotten something.

He was dazed on the bed for a few seconds, then he jumped up, put on his shorts, opened the door and rushed to the corridor with no shirt on. He saw that the door on the opposite side was tightly closed.

He was stunned for a long time, thinking back to his meeting last night, it seemed like a dream, could there really be such a woman?

I saw many old people cleaning and exercising downstairs.

Get dressed and go downstairs, nodding and smiling at everyone.

I haven't been back for half a year, and half of the people seem to be strangers. Even the lay people who have been familiar with me since childhood just nodded in greeting. Here, no one shows excessive emotions.

I went to the temple and asked Wu Jing, but Taoist Wang didn't come back, and it was difficult to ask the woman last night, so I had to go down the mountain and called my uncle Li Banggui on the way. He actually went to Fulong Village early in the morning to solve the problem.

Li Banggui is now the deputy mayor of Zizhou Longjiang Town. He and Ye Sansheng were strangers who could not be compared with each other. When Ye Sansheng was just adopted by Taoist Wang, Li Banggui came to treat his illness. Taoist Wang said he would not take his money, but

He was asked to recognize Ye Sansheng as his nephew. They were destined to give him some explanation and guarantee.

Li Banggui was just a contract worker who had just started working, one of the eight members. His family was poor and not from a wealthy family, so he naturally agreed.

Later, I saw that Ye Sansheng was very smart and studied hard, so he became interested in it. Even after he got married and had children, he never left Ye Sansheng indifferent. During every year and festival, he would make new clothes and buy gifts for Ye Sansheng, and would bring them with him when he was free.

My wife and I came up the mountain to drink tea and chat with Taoist Wang, and casually look at Ye Sansheng.

Li Banggui later gained a foothold in the town government and became a formal civil servant. After more than ten years of work, he was promoted to the position of deputy mayor of Longjiang Town with his steadfastness and hard work.

Longjiang Town is still more than ten miles away from Zizhou County, and transportation is inconvenient. The road has been repaired in the past two years. In the hearts of Zizhou people, it is still a remote mountainous area.

However, it does belong to a remote mountainous area and is also a poor town ranked at the bottom among the 17 towns in Zizhou County. When Li Banggui arrived in Longjiang, he only returned to the county town on Fridays at first. He went back early on Monday morning. Later, the road was repaired and he bought a second-hand car to travel.

Only then can I go home every day.

The work in Longjiang Town takes up most of Ye Sansheng's uncle's time. In addition, Ye Sansheng rarely comes back during the winter and summer vacations when he is studying in college. In recent years, they have rarely seen each other. He asked Li Banggui about Fulong Village

There, Ye Sansheng called someone from the field and went directly to Fulong Village.

Now that he is back, he must meet his uncle.

What's more, Ye Sansheng is now a civil servant and works in the town government at the grassroots level. He also wants to talk to his uncle about some things and see what kind of work his uncle handles in Fulong Village and how he handles it.

When we arrived at Longjiang Town, the wild driver asked for more money, otherwise he would not deliver the goods. The reason was that the road from Longjiang to Fulong was gravel road for two kilometers, which was already bad. It rained yesterday, so it might be even worse.

Good to go.

Ye Sansheng had no choice but to agree.

Halfway through, it turned out that the gravel road was very difficult to walk on. There were two deep pits on both sides of the road. The chassis of the wild car often rubbed against it and made a squeaking sound. The wild driver cursed and finally did not open his mouth again.

money.

When they arrived at the Fulong Village Committee, Li Banggui was not there. After calling him, he found out that he had gone up the mountain with the villagers.

Ye Sansheng had no choice but to go up the mountain by himself, thinking that he had been in Linjiang Town for a month and had not seen any leaders go to the countryside, including the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture. He went to the countryside twice, and that was because he accompanied the deputy secretary of the county party committee

Ji Wang Zhongkang investigated and Wu Zhiqi led the team to do the construction work.
