Long Zaidong said quickly: "I will definitely come in person and don't dare to forget."
There was no conversation all night. At dawn the next day, Long Zaidong got up and walked out of the tent. He already heard Master Huiming doing morning lessons! He didn't dare to disturb him, so he walked up to a high place and breathed in the fresh air.
Feeling refreshed and energized, I did some fitness exercises. After I went back to wash up, the sun climbed up, and Xu Fan also climbed up.
"Good morning, brother, how have you been these two days?" Xu Fan asked when he saw Long Zaidong.
"I have benefited a lot. Thank you for making such thoughtful arrangements, brother." Long Zaidong was particularly happy to see Xu Fan.
After a while of greetings, Zen Master Huiming’s morning lessons were also finished. Xu Fan and Long Zaidong bid farewell to Zen Master Huiming together.
Long Zaidong clasped his hands together and said: "Master, please do everything. I will be there on time when the Buddha is consecrated next year."
Master Huiming said: "Amitabha! I will welcome you at that time."
At this time, the four bodyguards were also ready. Xu Fan also said to Zen Master Huiming: "Then let's go first. Master, please take care. If you have any questions, please contact Chu Lin or call me directly. I will come here often."
”.
Master Huiming said: "Donor, don't worry. If anything happens, I will contact Mayor Chu. You still have important things to do, so don't worry about this. You can't miss this opportunity."
Xu Fan replied: "I understand, master." Then he and Long Zaidong went down the mountain.
Xu Fan and Long Zaidong walked in front, and four bodyguards walked behind.
Along the way, Long Zaidong was silent and his steps were not fast. Xu Fan noticed something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Brother, is there something wrong?"
Long Zaidong shook his head slightly and said, "I was just thinking about what the master said."
Xu Fan asked: "What are you talking about? Is it about the dragon's lair?"
Long Zaidong shook his head again: "No, it's said to be a mystery that I need to find out, but I can't figure it out."
Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, and he probably knew a little bit, and then said: "Since it is a mystery mentioned by the master, maybe you should take your time to understand it, or you can gradually understand it in the future. Buddhism is profound and profound, and it is not so easy to understand it all at once
You know, it’s better to appreciate this beautiful scenery. If you go back to the concrete forest, you won’t have such beautiful scenery.”
Long Zaidong felt relieved and smiled and said: "Yes, what should be there will definitely be there, and what should come will definitely come. Don't live up to this beautiful scenery."
Xu Fan also laughed, "There is a mystery to what I said, and I have to take a closer look."
Long Zaidong punched Xu Fan in the chest, "Are you still laughing at me?!"
Xu Fan quickly yelled: "Haha, don't dare, don't dare"
While joking, the group arrived at Chu Village. Chu Lin was already waiting at the village committee. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Chu Lin came up to them and said, "Mr. Long, Secretary Xu, are you tired? The village committee is ready."
Breakfast is served, please invite the guests to eat first."
Xu Fan said: "Okay, you accompany Mr. Long to the village office first. When Chu Chu comes back to pay homage to her parents, I'll ask her to go back with her. Her sister is worried and won't let her stay out for too long, so she asked me to take her with her.
go back".
Chu Lin hurriedly said: "Secretary Xu, how can I let you run away? You eat with Mr. Long first, and I will call Chu Chu." After saying that, he hurriedly ran to Chu Chu's house.
Long Zaidong felt strange and asked: "Do you have any relatives here? You are not from here."
Xu Fan said: "It's a long story, let's talk as we walk." So he told Long Zaidong Chu Chu's life experience, and Long Zaidong started to curse.
Xu Fan continued: "When I went back and told Yuan Yuan, she burst into tears and asked me to take them mother and daughter to the city for treatment. When we arrived in the city, your old classmate fell in love with this girl Chu Chu. She must have
He wanted to recognize her as his god sister and said that he must train her well. After Chu Chu's mother passed away, she has been following Yuan Yuan."
Long Zaidong said with emotion: "My brothers and sisters have always been kind-hearted. They have been like this since they were young. They don't want to see others suffer. Well, this is also a matter of immeasurable morality."
As soon as he sat down at the village committee, Chu Lin came back. When he entered the door, he said: "Secretary, Chu Chu is here."
Chu Chu followed him into the house and called out softly: "Brother-in-law."
Xu Fan hurriedly greeted him, pulled Chu Chu up to Long Zaidong and said, "Brother, this is Yuan Yuan's god-sister Chu Chu. Chu Chu, this is Mr. Long, the guest of my brother-in-law."
Chu Chu obediently called out: "Mr. Long".
Long Zaidong was suddenly stunned when he saw it! A simple white dark floral shirt, well-fitting, outlining the girl's well-proportioned figure, a pair of jeans, a pair of sneakers, a fresh and clean girl. Needless to say, this girl is beautiful.
Long Zaidong's experience has seen many beautiful women, but a girl who can be called clean like this is a rare thing, especially those eyes. Although they are a little red and swollen, it can be seen that they cried in front of their parents' graves.
Yes, but the clear eyes allow people to see the whole thing at a glance, making people willing to indulge in it and not want to extricate themselves.
Seeing this scene, Xu Fan was secretly happy that there was a way out, so he didn't point out the stunned Long Zaidong anymore. He turned to Chu Chu and said, "Chu Chu, please serve Mr. Long a meal. After breakfast, we can go on our way."
Chu Chu turned to the other side of the table, helped Long Zaidong and Xu Fan serve the food, and was about to leave. Xu Fan quickly stopped her and said, "Chu Chu, sit down and eat together."
When Chu Chu was at home, she heard from her cousin that Secretary Xu was here. She thought her brother-in-law was the only one, so she ran over happily. Now seeing that there was a stranger and a guest, she naturally refused to stay and said, "I haven't left anything at home yet."
Pack it up, you should eat first." After saying that, he walked out.
Xu Fan stood up and pulled Chu Chu, saying: "If you haven't put away your things yet, please put them away after dinner. We'll wait for you, right, Mr. Long?"
Long Zaidong woke up at this moment and said unnaturally: "Yeah, yeah, don't be in a hurry, eat first, anyway, I have nothing to do today, we will wait for you."
Chu Chu was pulled by Xu Fan and could no longer refuse, so she sat down to eat together.
During this meal, everyone had their own thoughts and no one said anything. Xu Fan naturally wanted to observe more and watch the situation quietly. Seeing that there were outsiders around, Chu Chu couldn't say much to her brother-in-law, although she wanted to talk to her brother-in-law.
In addition to being grateful to Xu Fan, she also had a strange emotion that she couldn't explain clearly.
Long Zaidong didn't say anything. He just felt that he no longer knew what he was eating. His eyes couldn't be separated from Chu Chu. His heart felt like he had returned to the green years of more than ten years ago, beating wildly. He fell in love with this girl, although he
He never believed that love at first sight would happen to him, but the girl in front of him aroused his protective desire. He wanted to protect her, love her, hold her in the palm of his hand like a treasure, and prevent the world from contaminating her.
He firmly believed that only he had this ability, and only he was worthy of it. He wanted to get her, no matter how difficult it was.
After eating, everyone stood up. Xu Fan said: "Chu Chu, you go home and clean up. Mr. Long and I are waiting for you."
Long Zaidong suddenly said: "How about we go with Chu Chu and take a walk by the way."
When Xu Fan heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, okay."
Chu Lin hurriedly ran out to make arrangements. Chu Chu was also stunned. She didn't know what her brother-in-law was going to see, so she didn't want to ask more questions, so she had to follow him out.
The village is not big, and soon we arrived at the door of Chu Chu's house. Long Zaidong looked around and asked Xu Fan: "Did we pass by here before going up the mountain?"
Xu Fan said: "Yes."
Long Zaidong said with some confusion: "If I said that before I went up the mountain, I felt the urge to walk into this house, would you believe it?"
Xu Fan had actually observed it a long time ago and did not criticize it. He just said: "It seems that you are destined to this house."
Chu Chu didn't understand what they said and hurriedly let them into the house. In the house, Chu Lin and Pang Aiyun were already preparing some tea and fruits.
Chu Chu said: "Mr. Long, brother-in-law, you sit down and drink some tea. I will go and pack things soon."
Xu Fan looked at Long Zaidong and saw that he had no intention of leaving in a hurry, so he said: "Brother, sit down, Chu Chu, don't be in a hurry, pack up slowly, we will wait for you."
Long Zaidong did not sit down, but walked around the room, looking here and there. He felt a long-lost feeling of comfort and peace of mind. The simple house had no furnishings, but it was neatly tidied.
, it is clean, such a clean environment is worthy of such clean people, just like a place where fairies live.
Looking at Chu Chu who was busy going about his business, Long Zaidong felt surprisingly at ease. It seemed that he had never felt so at ease before. This was the person he had been waiting for and looking for, and he finally found it today.
Chu Chu was busy cleaning up, but she also felt sensitively that there was a pair of hot eyes following her, which made her feel uncomfortable. After cleaning up in a hurry, she quietly said to Pang Aiyun: "Sister-in-law, there is nothing to eat."
It's been cleaned up. Please come over and help me take a look when you are free. Don't let the house be too dilapidated. After all, this is what my parents left for me, and I want to come back." Pang Aiyun said that the circles under her eyes were red, and she quickly comforted her.
She also expressed her haste to reassure Chu Chu.
Chu Chu picked up the bag and said to Xu Fan, "Brother-in-law, I've packed it."
"So fast?" Xu Fan asked.
Chu Chu said: "There is nothing left. The rest has been left to my brother and sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, we will take care of it." Chu Lin said quickly.
Long Zaidong suddenly said: "Chu Chu, go say goodbye to your parents."
Chu Chu didn't expect that Long Zaidong would say this, and then looked at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan was also surprised, but he quickly understood what Long Zaidong meant and said, "Let's go, Chu Chu, we will accompany you. It will not be easy to come back after you go out."
Chu Chu walked in front obediently. Chu Chu's parents were buried on the mountain behind the village, not far from the village. When his father passed away, the village helped to bury him. It was very simple. After his mother died, he was buried together with his father. It was Yuan Yuan who arranged it.
I sent Chu Chu back and took care of everything, so it was a newly built cemetery, simple and solemn.
A group of people came to the cemetery. Chu Chu knelt in front of the tomb, kowtowed and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving to work in the capital. My sister and brother-in-law are very good to me. Don't worry, I will work hard and repay them."
