Chapter 57 Encounter
Sitting in the meditation room with the abbot was no more than a cup of tea.

The originally bright weather suddenly turned gloomy. It didn't take long before a thunderclap sounded, and then it began to rain.

Hearing the sound of rain outside the door, the abbot asked, "Is it raining outside?"

Guixin got up and walked to the door, opened the door a little, looked out, and said, "Return to the abbot, it's a torrential rain, it will probably pass soon."

The abbot nodded, then looked at Li Shishi and said, "This is really due to fate, I'm afraid the almsgiver is here waiting for the rain to stop."

Li Shishi smiled and said: "It's okay, but I'm going to bother the abbot again."

"The abbot picked up the tea cup and poured another cup of tea for Li Shishi and Aunt Wu, and then said: "The monks don't ask about the affairs of the world, so why bother.Please have some tea. "

Saying this, there was a knock on the door.

Guixin heard the sound and opened the door.

"Sorry to bother you, Shangxiang caught up with the rain today and there is no place to hide from the rain. I wonder if it is convenient for the little master to come here to take shelter from the rain?"

"It's convenient, please come in."

Li Shishi felt very familiar when she heard the voice, but for a while she couldn't remember where she heard it. When someone entered the room, Li Shishi looked back and said in surprise: "Why are you?"

"You're here too." Gongsun Qing was also a little surprised when he saw Li Shishi, and immediately laughed: "What a coincidence."

The old abbot looked at the two with a smile, and then said: "It seems that you two are acquaintances, it really is fate."

Li Shishi was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "Well, I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Then she got up to make room for Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun Qing wiped his rain-drenched hair with the towel that Gui Xin handed over, while sitting in the seat where Li Shishi was originally sitting.

Guixin brought another teacup over, and handed a cup of hot tea from the town to Gongsun Qing and said, "Have a cup of hot tea to get rid of the cold."

Gongsun Qing said thank you, then took a shallow sip from the teacup.

Then he asked again: "When I was offering incense today, I heard that a woman gave birth. This is an anecdote. I didn't know that there are still people who can deliver babies in the temple."

Hearing this, Li Shishi blushed slightly and did not answer, but the abbot smiled and said: "It's not the monks of this temple, but these two benefactors beside you, Bodhisattvas with a heart to save people in distress. "

Gongsun Qing looked at Li Shishi in surprise when he heard this, "Are you actually able to deliver babies? It's amazing."

Li Shishi blushed slightly and said, "It's not me, I'm just helping."

"The girl is truly a bodhisattva."

"Young Master Miozan, if it weren't for Aunt Wu, even a bodhisattva would be helpless."

Aunt Wu laughed at the side: "You two are really polite, and you can't understand the words. It's just a matter of incident. How can there be any reason to refuse to save."

Gongsun Qing nodded, "Indeed."

"Mother, who is this person?" Wanran gently tugged on Li Shishi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"My mother just met an uncle." Li Shishi whispered back.

It's just that the meditation room is really not big, even if he speaks in a low voice, Gongsun Qing can still hear it clearly.

He stared at Li Shishi for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered his expression, put on a warm smile and asked, "Is this little girl your child?"

Seeing that Gongsun Qing was looking at her, Li Shishi didn't speak, just nodded.

Gongsun Qing's heart tightened for no reason, and he couldn't say why.It's just that when she learned that Li Shishi still had a child, a sense of loss suddenly flashed in her heart.

But he couldn't show it, he just nodded slightly and then said: "Looking at the weirdness of the girl, I think it's more up to you."

It's just that he still couldn't help but want to ask a few more questions, so he said in a strange way: "Why didn't you see your husband? Didn't you come with me?"

Hearing this, Li Shishi smiled awkwardly: "No, he has something to do, so he can't come here."

Then she said: "Wanran Wanmiao, I have seen Uncle."

Wanran Wanmiao stood up, gave a dignified salute, and then introduced herself one by one.

It's just that Gongsun Qing has no intention of listening to it now, and he can't tell what it feels like in his heart.

The air gradually became awkward.

Perhaps Gongsun Qing was the only one who was embarrassed.

The rain gradually weakened, and the delay was too long. Li Shishi and Aunt Wu took their children and got up to leave.

After leaving the meditation room, the four of them bid farewell to the abbot and others, and went down the mountain together.

After the rain, the air on the mountain was exceptionally fresh. Li Shishi stood at the gate of the temple and stretched.

Sitting in the meditation room for too long just now, I just felt extremely sleepy, but standing at the gate of the temple and feeling the breeze hit me, it made me sober up a lot.

When he was just stepping down the steps, a young monk came hurriedly behind him, stopped everyone in front of Li Shishi, and said: "The abbot said that the road down the mountain will be slippery after it rains, and the benefactor can go down the mountain in the backyard of the temple. The mountain road in the backyard is gentle and safer. .”

"Then there will be little master Lao." Li Shishi clasped his hands together and said.

Then everyone went down the mountain from the back door of the temple under the leadership of the young monk.

As soon as she got out of the back door, Li Shishi saw a piece of peach blossoms in full bloom, with begonias mixed in.

Although it just rained and the flowers were scattered by the rain, the sea of ​​flowers is still beautiful. The red-pink crabapple and the pale pink peach blossom complement each other.

This scenery is many times more beautiful than the flowers blooming in the fields at the foot of the mountain. Li Shishi was a little surprised when she saw the begonias and peach blossoms that were so beautiful.
"It's clearly past the peach blossom season, but how could this back mountain..."

The little monk smiled and said: "Yes, the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain have already passed their flowering season, but only the peach blossoms in Longquan Temple can bloom until the end of May. It is because this landscape not only nourishes people but also raises flowers. All things have spirits. Shelter, plus Longquan water nourishes the flowers, so the peach blossoms will last longer."

"Perhaps this is the reason why the beauty of the world is exhausted in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom."

"Exactly."

After saying this, everyone walked all the way down, and soon approached this peach blossom that was in full bloom.

Li Shishi stood under a crabapple tree, raised her head and looked at the flowers with raindrops on her head.

The dew between the flowers is crystal clear, and falling on the petals makes people feel more affectionate.

She stopped, squatted down, and reached out to pick up a crabapple that fell on the ground.

Then he brought this flower to Wanmiao's temple.

Seeing this, Wanran clamored for her mother to bring one for herself.

Li Shishi smiled, and carefully selected a budding flower, and inserted it on Wanran's temple.

Then she got up, took the child's hand again and drifted away.

Gongsun Qing, who was standing not far away, came out from behind the peach tree and had a panoramic view of the scenery just now.

It's just that he couldn't help but feel awkward. He looked down at the peach branch in his hand, then reinserted it in the soil and turned to leave.
