Buddhism

The little ox was raised for a few days, ate the grass on the mountain, adapted to the life on the mountain, and gradually became cheerful.He will run around happily for a few laps with his hoofs scattered, changing the sluggishness before going up the mountain.

Every afternoon, Kong Qing would lead the little scalper out for a walk, acting as a shepherd boy.The little ox grazed with his head down, and he looked at the mountains and the scenery.Or find a quiet place, close your eyes and meditate.

"Moo~~" The little ox lowered its head to eat grass, raised its head to look ahead from time to time, mooed in its mouth, and swung its tail from side to side, as if driving away mosquitoes and scratching itches, very pleasant.

Sitting cross-legged under a tree, Kongqing meditated with his eyes closed.The blue-gray figure has a straight back.With his eyes closed and his face calm and indifferent, a gust of wind blew up the corners of his blue-gray clothes, ups and downs.

"Little monk, Chi Tong told you to go home for dinner." Qing Mo swung his arms and walked over with big strides, arriving before anyone could be heard.No matter what it was, he spoke with a relaxed voice, so Kong Qing always heard his angry voice before he found his figure.

Qingmo was bored and wanted to talk to Chitong, but as soon as he stepped over the threshold, Chitong sent him to find the little monk for dinner.It's just such a small place, how far can Kong Qing's short legs go, and it's over if he stands at the door and yells.Pian Chitong still refused to shout, so he had no choice but to condescend to come forward.

"Oh!" Kong Qing stood up, patted the withered grass on his clothes, and led the little scalper to the wooden house.

Seeing Kong Qing's indifferent expression, Qing Mo couldn't help asking: "Little monk, why have you become more and more reticent recently?"

"Really?" Kong Qing looked straight ahead, obviously absent-minded, and his voice was steady and unwavering.

"Yeah, did you encounter any troubles, tell me quickly, I will advise you!" Qing Mo was very courteous, and wanted to show off his talents immediately, so that Kong Qing would know how great he was.

"It's okay, you're overthinking." Kong Qing said calmly.

Qing Mo glanced at Kong Qing's slightly frowning face, and said a little unhappy. "Hmph! If you still don't admit it, I'll ask Chitong when I go back!"

Qing Mo always likes to ask the bottom line, if he doesn't tell the reason, he will definitely ask Chi Tong, Kong Qing doesn't want him to disturb Chi Tong, so after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "You really want to know?"

"Say it!" Qing Mo didn't notice Kong Qing's helplessness at all, thinking that Kong Qing was going to tell him, he was very happy waiting for Kong Qing's answer.

Seeing the smile and anticipation on Qing Mo's face, Kong Qing knew that Qing Mo wanted to help him solve the problem, and he was just watching the excitement.I sighed in my heart, there was nothing wrong with it, why did I feel uncomfortable when he insisted on saying that.

Kong Qing rolled his eyes, thought of a plan, and decided to talk about "home affairs": "Qingmo, why do you always live on the mountain? Where's your family?"

"My family, my family is Chitong!" Qing Mo didn't care that Kong Qing's words were wrong, but answered them smoothly.

"You two have different surnames, so where do you start with relatives?" Kong Qing asked.

"Is it true that people who are related by blood are called relatives?" Qing Mo was a little confused. This issue was his own cognition, and no one questioned it, because no one had discussed this issue with him at all.

"No, people who are related by blood are called relatives, but those who are not related by blood can also be called relatives. For example, adoptive father and mother, master and mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband and wife, etc., these are also relatives according to common sense. , but there is no blood relationship. These are relatives, but not close relatives. Only those who are related by blood are called close relatives."

Qing Mo grabbed his hair, nodded half understanding.He has always been ignorant of these complex etiquettes and intimate relationships in the world.

Kong Qing continued: "You and Chi Tong are about the same age, so how did you become relatives?" Kong Qing looked at Qing Mo's blank face, a little strange, these are the most basic human principles, Chang Lun, he is younger than himself Why are you so ignorant.

In fact, there are many strange things to say, there is still a small wooden house where he and Chitong live, but every time I go to look for Qingmo, I see him under a tree, but I don't know where he actually lives.Except for the empty cabins on this mountain, no other houses and huts were found there.

"How do we become relatives? We are relatives in the first place!" Qing Mo replied with a firm face, and did not give Kong Qing a real answer.

Kong Qing didn't mind Qing Mo's answer, he was asking casually, but after thinking about it, there were a lot of puzzles, and he continued: "Qing Mo, you grew up in the mountains?"

Qing Mo crossed his palms and put them on the back of his head, walking beside Kong Qing with his waist upright, and replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

The last time I went down the mountain, I had doubts about the empty space. The way up the mountain was so steep, but the cattle came up smoothly and effortlessly.He just wanted to take the little ox farther to eat some fresher grass, and remembered that the grass on the road down the mountain was pretty good.So he wanted to take the little ox down, but he didn't want to, but he couldn't find the original way down the mountain.

He was obviously going in the original direction, but after walking for a while, he found that there was a thorn in front of him, and there was no way to go at all.In my impression, Chi Tong never went down the mountain alone, but they could always eat some fresh vegetarian dishes that were hardly available in the mountains.

Growing up in the mountains?Kong Qing hesitated and continued to ask: "Qing Mo, how old are you this year?"

"One thousand..." Qing Mo paused, then lowered his head to meet Kong Qing's solemn expression.Suddenly realized that he bit his tongue, only then did he realize that Kong Qing was tricking him, he thought back to how he had been tricked for so long, and he didn't realize it, it was really embarrassing.He coughed in embarrassment and pretended to be calm: "Two out of twenty!"

Qing Mo's pretending to be calm was seen by Kong Qing, but he didn't expose it.With a meaningful smile, he said, "Two out of twenty? It's a good number!"

"That's not right!" Qing Mo smiled awkwardly, this number is the age he used in the world, because he thought it was easy to remember, he always used this age.I didn't know what happened just now, but I blurted out and was about to tell my real age, what a mistake.

Looking at the thoughtful Kong Qing, Qing Mo swallowed, Chi Tong was right, don't look at this little monk, although he is not big, but his mind is not small, obviously he can't beat him, and he will stay away from now on It's good, if Chitong's good deed is ruined, he will have no good fruit to eat.

Kong Qing continued to walk without hurrying, Qing Mo unknowingly slowed down, looking at Kong Qing's straight figure.Feeling terrified, fortunately this little monk is a Taoist, with a peaceful attitude that does not contend with the world.Otherwise, given that he has such a mind at such a young age, if he really enters the world, he must be a person who can stir up the situation in the future.

He was so thoughtful at such a young age, he was completely unaware of what he said just now, it was simply terrifying.

Kong Qing has a delicate mind and has been born with intuition since he was a child.Of course, it's not as powerful as Qing Mo thinks, but he has a pure mind and has never had any experience. Because of Chi Tong's intimidation, he naturally feels that Kong Qing's actions are a bit scary.

Kong Qing went back to the cabin unhurriedly, tied up the little scalper in the yard, and Chi Tong had already set up the dishes when he entered the house.

Kong Qing washed his hands and sat down. Chi Tong looked around but didn't see the person who should be following Kong Qing, and asked, "Where is Qing Mo? Didn't he call you? You are back, why didn't he come back?"

"Maybe I don't want to eat, let's go back." Long before entering the door, Kong Qing found Qing Mo Luo running away, and he fled in such a panic, Kong Qing felt more and more tricky about it.

This doesn't happen very often, Qing Mo just doesn't like vegetarian food any more, but every time he comes, whenever there is a meal, he will sit by the side with a bowl in his hand, talking and taking a few mouthfuls while eating.

Chi Tong looked at Kong Qing calmly, and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he didn't care.Qing Mo's mind was off, and it's not surprising that he didn't come if he didn't want to eat.

Kong Qing chewed slowly, and asked not easily: "How old is Qing Mo this year?"

Chi Tong stopped her chopsticks, looked at Kong Qing eating with downcast eyes, with a calm expression on her face.Some doubts, not sure why he suddenly asked.

Kong Qing seemed to be aware that Chitong was looking at him, he raised his eyes and smiled slightly at Chitong's eyes, waiting quietly for Chitong's answer.

"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Chi Tong picked up a chopstick and put it in an empty bowl, answering the question.

Kong Qing ate the food that Chi Tong had brought over, and replied softly.His expression was flawless, as if he was asking the most common thing: "Seeing that you two are about the same age, I suddenly want to know."

After getting along for so long, Chi Tong knew Kong Qing's temperament, so there was probably something strange about this inquiry at this time.Qing Mo left inexplicably in front of him, and he happened to ask about Qing Mo's age and his age during the meal, so it didn't take much thinking to know that Qing Mo must have slipped his tongue.

Chi Tong didn't answer, but instead asked: "How did Qing Mo answer?"

"He said he was twenty-two, and I think his age really suits him!" Kong Qing smiled sincerely.

Chi Tong knew that he was probably laughing at Qing Mo, after all, Qing Mo's childishness was not small.Chi Tong smiled and scolded: "You're a big kid, I'm afraid Qing Mo will be in a hurry with you after hearing this!"

"By the time he reacts, I've probably run away." Kong Qing was not afraid of Qing Mo's anxious eyes.

For Qing Mo's simple ignorance, Chi Tong does not comment.For so many years, Qing Mo has only occasionally wandered around crowded places, and has never really gotten along with other people day and night, so he doesn't understand some things very well, and he doesn't understand them either.

"Don't think too much, we will never harm you. If you feel tired of staying on the mountain one day, just tell me and I will send you down the mountain." Chi Tong didn't look at Kong Qing, but said in a deep voice.

Kong Qing looked at Chitong who was still indifferent, and sighed in his heart, after getting along for so long, he still said these words.He naturally knew that they would not harm him, but he was just a little curious, and he didn't know how to answer his remarks.

Kong Qing drooped his eyelashes to hide the disappointment in his eyes, with food in his mouth, he let out a muffled "Yeah!", and stopped talking.

It's not that Chi Tong doesn't want to tell Kong Qing, but he knows that as he grows older, Kong Qing will soon understand.Now that he is less than ten years old and his mind is so exquisite, he must be a capable person in the near future.

Kong Qing ate with his head down. Since there was no hair covering him, a section of his snow-white neck was exposed, which was even whiter against the background of the blue-gray clothing.Chi Tong didn't move her chopsticks, looked at her fair neck, and thought of the white steamed bun that Kong Qing desperately carried in her arms that day.My heart sank, and there was an indescribable unbearable feeling.Sigh, let nature take its course.
