On how to pursue a Buddhist teacher

Qi Liang packed up a bunch of miscellaneous things, put a big bag on the back seat of the bicycle, tied a few ropes, and rode all the way to the hospital. In the middle, he carried a box of bone soup from the lunch box at the entrance of the community, and packed several bags. a dish.

The patient can’t eat until he wakes up, but these few, adults and children, seem to have to make up for each one. Mr. Qi has five or six lunch boxes hanging on the handlebars, and he is careful not to spill the soup while riding.

When I arrived at the hospital, carrying things in my left and right hands, I entered the inpatient area conspicuously. On the way, I met several nurses who wanted to help, but Teacher Qi persuaded me to go back with a fake smile, "Thank you, don't bother me."

He arrived at the ward like a peacock spreading his tail.

When he got to the door, Qi Kongque couldn't hold back his smile.

I don’t know where the table was brought from, and there were seven or eight dishes on it. If you look carefully, there is still bone soup in it, which is stewed until the soup is clear. Xu Wang and Ge Xunyu are eating around the table, and there are many more in the ward. A strange man, sitting opposite Xu Baibi, didn't know what they were talking about.

Qi Liang looked down at the big and small bags in his left and right hands, and felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to do so much.

"Why are you back?" He raised his head and saw Xu Baibi frowning.

Teacher Qi smiled, put down the big bag in his hand very naturally, and showed Xu Baibi the lunch box, "Aren't I afraid that Xiao Ge will be hungry? I bought him fried shrimp that he said he wanted to eat."

Ge Xunyu didn't know, so he looked up at Qi Liang.

Qi Liang put down the lunch box and walked in front of the strange man, "Are you Xiaoge's family?"

The strange man has been staring at Qi Liang since he came in, and Qi Liang is a little puzzled, what's wrong with this man.

The other party suddenly said, "You are Qi Liang, right?"

"You know me?"

"Tsk," the man raised his eyebrows and said, "I know that Qi Shuai doesn't take our old classmates seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have lost contact for so many years."

Hearing this, Qi Liang was stunned for a moment, and looked up and down for a long time. He didn't remember to know this person. This person looks ordinary, but he is dressed with extra care. He is wearing a famous brand, simple and generous, as if he is always ready Attending important occasions, the end of the speech has a slight rise, and after a few words, it reveals sophistication and smoothness. It is an old fritter who has been in the workplace.

Seeing that Qi Liang hadn't spoken for a long time, the man smiled helplessly, "I was the representative of the mathematics class in the third year of high school, and I asked you for homework every day." Qi Liang was a little impressed, and at the same time thinking in his heart, he looked very sunny back then. A young man, why is he so eccentric now?

"Sorry, now that I think about it, why are you here? Your surname is also Ge?"

"Are you kidding, my surname is Zhang, Zhang Chenguang" Zhang Chenguang kindly made room for Qi Liang, "I don't know anyone from the Ge family, and I just came to help Brother Xu."

Qi Liang hadn't sat still, his jaw dropped when he heard this, what the hell?Brother Xu?Is this talking about Xu Baibi?When did Xu Baibi know this person, and the relationship is still so good, they are called brothers.

In the past, Xu Baibi was the worst popular in high school. No one in his class could remember him. He was not as good as Qi Liang in this respect.

"I was out of town two days ago, so I couldn't help. I just came back today. I heard that Brother Xu is here, so I came to take a look." Zhang Chenguang embarrassedly looked at the boxed lunch that Qi Liang brought on the table, "No Thinking that Qi Shuai is also here today."

After two days of guarding, Qi Liang became a visitor for no reason. He already felt a little bit dissatisfied in his heart, but he really couldn't afford to have an outbreak because of this, so he just laughed casually twice and didn't answer any more.

Zhang Chenguang had known Qi Liang since high school, knew Qi Shuai's temper, and didn't think it was strange, so he turned his head to talk to Xu Baibi with a smile.

They were all talking about business matters, so Qi Liang couldn't get in the way, so he just took out a box of lunch, opened a box of fried pork slices, and took out the deep-fried shrimp and put it in front of Ge Xunyu.

"Eat it," he said blankly.

Xiao Ge picked up a few chopsticks in fear, feeling that the head teacher's face was really a bit unkind.

From Qi Liang's perspective, only Xu Baibi's side face can be seen, and he quietly looks at Zhang Chenguang, who is eloquent, with all his attention and no other distractions.

I'm still sitting here with such a big living person, Teacher Qi is a little bit worried.

Zhang Chenguang, the former math class representative, became more and more excited as he chatted. When he finished speaking, his volume rose unconsciously, "The one named Qi is too deceitful!" The teacup in his hand fell heavily on the table.

The other three people who didn't participate in the topic were all taken aback, the one surnamed Qi?Teacher Qi frowned, and his mood became more and more bad. Zhang Chenguang also realized his gaffe later, smiled apologetically, and said to Ge Xunyu, "I'm sorry."

Xu Baibi patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "You go back first, and I will contact you in detail after I finish my work here."

Zhang Chenguang nodded and stood up, "Then I'll go back first, Brother Xu, by the way, I found a nurse for Uncle Ge, who has taken care of many patients, and I heard that he is very careful, and I can arrive this afternoon."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Xu Baibi smiled, "I thank you on Uncle Ge's behalf."

"Where did you come from?" Zhang Chenguang waved his hand, then looked at Qi Liang again, "Qi Shuai, I'll take my leave first."

Qi Liang nodded reservedly.

Xu Baibi sent Zhang Chenguang out.Qi Liang glanced at classmate Xu Wang who was eating greasy mouth, sighed slightly, he coughed a few times, "Do you know that guy just now?"

Xu Wang put down his chopsticks, "You mean Zhang Chenguang?"

"Well, yes." Qi Liang paused, "Why do you call the elders by their first names?"

Xu Wang rolled his eyes,

"Forget it, you go ahead"

"Of course I know each other. Aren't you all classmates in high school? He often comes to the store to look for my second uncle, and he will bring me gifts during the Chinese New Year and holidays."

Qi Liang felt a subtle discomfort in his heart, "Your second uncle, he, is still in touch with your former classmates?"

"Yes, my second uncle goes to the class reunion every year"

Xu Wang looked at the head teacher curiously, "Why, you didn't go?"

Qi Liang was silent. After graduation, he never saw his former classmates again.

Qi Liang almost ran away and left the hospital.

After three days of farewell, you should look at each other with admiration.He suddenly realized that the traces brought by time could not be avoided. He wanted to help himself, but never thought about whether the other party still needed it.

It has only been six months since he returned to Bay City, and he still lives in the old house, which is full of things that have not been cleaned up in these years. The house is full of old objects, old sofas, old calendars, things that he didn't clean up when he left. Where everything was intact, it occasionally gave him the illusion of intersection of time and space.

When I woke up, I thought I had a long dream, the scene was the same as before, and the person was still the same.

He hardly thought about it, after ten years of no intersection, the other party no longer has his own place in his life,

"How have you been these years?" Even such a question could not be asked anyway, so he kept silent and hurriedly passed by.

Even if he was full of questions, scratching his heart and scratching his lungs, Qi Liang couldn't open his mouth after all. Teacher Qi wanted to ask around, but he turned the house upside down by himself and couldn't find out. Graduation yearbook.

What's more, after so many years, the above contact information is probably useless. Teacher Qi got nothing, and sat on the ground a little annoyed, frowning, and his face was full of displeasure.

He has never paid such attention to anyone. When he was in middle school, he was inseparable every day. He brought breakfast for him. During the competition, he made a special trip to cheer him up and celebrate his birthday. It doesn't get any harder than that.

However, Qi Liang was willing to do so. He gave this person all the patience and gentleness he had ever seen in his life at that time, and he didn't expect anything in return, so he didn't have too many complicated thoughts when he made a clean break.

Until seeing the current Xu Baibi, seeing that he had lost the sharp edges and corners of the past, without the aloofness and indifference of the past, but Qi Liang began to be bewildered and resentful.

These belated unwillingness and frustrations sprung up like mushrooms after rain, flourishing in his heart overnight.

Xu Baibi sent Zhang Chenguang out, and when he returned to the ward, he found that Qi Liang had already left, and the lunch box he brought was still on the table.

Xu Wang asked him, "Why is our head teacher gone?"

"Probably something else"

Xu Baibi looked at Ge Xunyu, "When the nurse arrives in the evening, you can go home with us and rest. It's time to go back to class tomorrow."

Ge Xunyu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second Uncle, Xu Wang's homeroom teacher has helped a lot in the past two days, I want to thank him"

The child is not very old, but he is already very stubborn. He probably doesn't want to owe others favors. Uncle Xu can be regarded as his own family and he doesn't have to worry about it.

Xu Baibi was taken aback, "Okay, I know, I will look for opportunities."

There are always other opportunities.
