Chapter 453 The slowly falling maple leaves...

Chapter 163 The slowly falling maple leaves resemble longing

Seeing that Concubine Quan Eun-fei didn't respond for a long time, Sakura knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

"Unnie, please think about what I said first. Everyone is the same, just in order. Why do we have to be outside?" Sakura finished the last paragraph.

"Unnie, is that all we can talk about today?"

"it is good……"

Sakura hung up the phone. Although Quan Enfei did not agree immediately, from her hesitant tone combined with Quan Enfei's behavior in the past, Sakura knew that her words had an effect.

All that's left now is to let the bullets fly for a while and wait for Quan Eun-fei to think about it.

She believed Quan Eunfei would agree.

No one knows how to persuade (PUA) people better than her!

Sakura is full of confidence and looks forward to the future.

……

Time has quietly come to the end of spring in April, and lockdowns are being lifted one after another across the country. As the first batch of cities to take the first step, the northern border has already been lifted.

However, due to safety considerations, most residents in the community chose to wait and see instead of going out of their homes.

After being "imprisoned" for several months, I was really not used to the sudden unblocking.

Finally, at the end of April, after the situation across the country was basically stable, the community where Su Jinxing and his family lived announced that the lockdown would be lifted.

As a foreigner, Sakura also downloaded an APP that provides health codes for foreigners studying in China.

The opening time for the outbound study business channel has been determined and will be officially opened at the end of June or early July. There is no news about the outbound tourism channel, and it should continue to be delayed.

Although the lockdown has been lifted, Sakura and the Su family have a tacit understanding and have not mentioned asking Sakura to move out. Sakura still lives in the Su family.

However, after staying at home for so long, Su Jinxing decided to take Sakura out for some fun.

Xiangshan Park.

In fact, Xiangshan is nothing special. It is just a hill with an altitude of more than 500 meters, but there are many scenic spots. Su Jinxing and Sakura are wandering around Xiangshan Temple at the moment.

It’s interesting to say that Fragrant Mountain in the north is famous, but in fact there are Fragrant Mountains in various places. For example, there is Fragrant Mountain in Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Fragrant Mountain in Dong’e County, Shandong Province, Fragrant Mountain in Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province, Fragrant Mountain in Jingkou City, and Fragrant Mountain in Ulan Hada City. , all over the world, there are so many, too numerous to mention, and coincidentally, there is also a Xiangshan Temple on it.

By the way, the Xiangshan Temple in the north had actually been destroyed by the war. Only the stone screen, stone pillars, stone steps, and stone foundations in front of the main hall remained. The rest had long been destroyed. The Xiangshan Temple you see today was actually rebuilt later.

Su Jinxing and Su Jinxing walked into the main hall. In front of the Guanyin Buddha on the first floor, Sakura stopped and did not kneel down. She just clasped her hands together and closed her eyes silently.

And Su Jinxing stood behind him. Amidst the curls of incense, Sakura's back was solemn and pretty. The non-glaring light penetrated through the thick palace and the solemn window lattice, hitting Sakura directly. She looked sacred and elegant. .

I don't know why, Su Jinxing suddenly thought of the divine girl. If the divine girl had an appearance, she should be like this.

After a moment, Sakura opened her eyes.

"Praying?" Su Jinxing asked casually.

"I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but I remain in awe of mysteries, just like humans should be in awe of the heaven, earth and nature. It's like making a wish, just like making a wish in front of shooting stars and fireworks, and I made a wish in front of gods and Buddhas." Sakura said with a smile.

"Then what is your wish?" Su Jinxing asked with interest

"It won't work if you keep it secret." Sakura smiled mysteriously, "I was making a wish just now, and I saw you were deep in thought. What were you thinking about?"

Su Jinxing thought for a while, and he really needed to think about it. He couldn't say "Your back is very beautiful, and I was fascinated by it." In such an occasion, it would be a bit offensive to the gods.

"Looking at Guanyin Buddha, I suddenly remembered two stories."

Sakura's eyes lit up. She always liked Su Jinxing's storytelling sessions.

As the two of them walked out of the hall, Su Jinxing said: "The first story is, to be precise, a poem."

"There are countless prayers in the world, but none of them are as selfless and kind as my four-year-old daughter's prayer. She knelt down and said to Guanyin with her eyes slightly closed in the smoke: Bodhisattva, I wish you good health. "

There is a saying that goes well: if you don’t know the suffering, you don’t believe in gods and Buddhas. When people come to gods and Buddhas, they often ask for something. As a child with a pure heart, when she looks at the Bodhisattva who is being knelt down and bestows blessings on others, she will feel that he also needs blessings.

"A kind-hearted child!" Sakura's eyes lit up. "What is the name of this poem?"

"The First Prayer."

"In front of the children, I suddenly feel a little... ashamed..."

"Ashamed of myself." Su Jinxing understood what Sakura meant and said the idiom for her.

"Yes, I'm ashamed of myself!" Sakura smiled like a flower, he knew what he meant!

"We are all ordinary people, but as long as we can be vigilant, the beauty of children will have meaning."

"What's the second story?"

"Have you ever heard of Butterfly Lovers?" Su Jinxing asked.

"Hmm...I saw it when I was watching the Huangmei Opera." Sakura thought for a while and said.

"You still listen to Huangmei Opera?" Su Jinxing was shocked. Is this something that foreigners can touch?

"My aunt told me that your hometown is from Anhui, so I looked up the local characteristics and saw Huangmei Opera." Sakura explained.

Su Jinxing looked at Sakura and deeply imprinted her expression on his mind.

"In the Huangmei opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", Liang Shanbo was suspicious of Zhu Yingtai, who was disguised as a man. So Liang Shanbo asked, why is Yingtai not a girl, why is there a ring mark on her ear? Zhu Yingtai replied, There is a reason for the earring marks. Why should Brother Liang be suspicious? There are many temple fairs in the village to honor the gods, and I play the role of Guanyin every year. Brother Liang, you must concentrate on your work. You don’t want to think about hairdresses in your future. And Liang Shanbo’s response to this explanation is: I will never do it again. I dare not look at Guanyin."

"I dare not look at Guanyin from now on because I think of you when I look at Guanyin." Sakura understood the meaning of the story. Her Chinese learning during this period was not in vain, and then she smiled and said, "Both stories are very good. One is about human nature. The beauty of pure kindness, one is the beauty of love.”

"It seems that your Chinese has indeed improved by leaps and bounds." Su Jinxing sighed.

"I'm studying very seriously." Sakura said with a smile.

"Then what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go to Jiariyuan." Su Jinxing thought for a while and gave the answer.

Sakura blinked and took out her phone to search.

Soon, she found Jiariyuan.

Jiariyuan is the place to watch red maple leaves in the north, but the best season to watch red maple leaves is from October to November. At that time, the mountains are covered with red leaves, which is particularly beautiful. Moreover, the red leaves in Xiangshan are not red maple leaves, but cotinus leaves.

But autumn is still five months early, which is when the red leaves are at their most unattractive. "Do the maple leaves look good now?" Sakura asked doubtfully.

"Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." Su Jinxing said casually, "Actually, I wanted to bring you here this fall, but you should have left by then."

"Do you want to go? If you don't want to, just find another place."

"Of course I am." Sakura smiled, "I am willing to go anywhere with Oppa."

Even though Sakura was wearing a mask at this time, Su Jinxing seemed to be able to see Sakura's bright smile like a summer flower underneath through the mask.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly appeared in Su Jinxing's mind.

There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. If I am with you, it will be a good time in the world.

Su Jinxing also laughed, with a strong smile on his face.

"Then let's go." Sakura stretched out her arms and stepped forward to hold Su Jinxing's arm.

On the way forward, Sakura looked up at Su Jinxing beside her, thinking of the wish she had made just now in the main hall, in front of Guanyin, and the smile on her face became gentler.

……

Stepping on the red leaves in the deep mountains, you can hear the roar of deer.

Under the vitality of late spring and the brilliant brilliance of midsummer, Su Jinxing and Sakura walked through the paths in the woods, walking through stone steps covered with moss marks, taking a leisurely walk, which was pleasant and beautiful.

"It's really refreshing to come out and see the scenery and embrace nature," Su Jinxing said with emotion on his face, "I think I understand Xu Xiake's happiness. The charm of nature is really irresistible."

"Xu Xiake..." Sakura lowered her head and searched for another name she had never heard of.

"In the history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, there was me, Huaiyou Buyi, a domineering emperor who was more powerful than me in the world. There was Longchang who enlightened the Tao, and my heart was the saint of the universe. There was a prime minister who ruled the world and implemented his ideals. . A eunuch who has the power to dominate the government and the public, and is honored as a nine-thousand-year-old eunuch. However, there is only one Xu Xiake!"

"While others were busy competing for centuries of fame and power, he was the only one who sat at the top of Huangshan Mountain and listened to the sound of the melting snow all day long." Su Jinxing expressed his thoughts to himself and said whatever came to his mind.

Sakura's eyes lit up. She liked Su Jinxing's behavior. It was obviously a normal thing, but when Su Jinxing said it, she suddenly felt different.

She didn't know if beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but she undoubtedly admired and liked Su Jinxing.

Su Jinxing didn't notice Sakura's reaction. He just followed his own words and continued talking like a stand-up comic.

"But I can't do what Xu Xiake is like."

"It is too luxurious to visit famous mountains and rivers alone. It is better to have someone to accompany you. Just like Su Shi and Zhang Huaimin."

OK, search for "Su Shi" and "Zhang Huaimin".

"Luxury?" Sakura searched, surprised at the adjective.

She could understand being lonely, but how to start talking about luxury?

"The courtyard was empty and clear like a pond of water, with criss-crossed algae and shadows of bamboos and cypresses in the water. The floor of the courtyard was covered with crystal clear moonlight, as clear and transparent as the ponded water. It was as if one could see the algae and aquatic plants crisscrossing them. It turned out that it was Shadows of bamboo and cypress branches in the courtyard.”

Having said this, Su Jinxing paused.

"It would be a waste to watch such a beautiful scene alone. Such beautiful scenery should be shared. Then imagine the bright moonlight and the rustling of pine leaves in the wind. The two people did not speak, just standing in the yard, but Our minds are connected to each other, as if there are only two people left in the world, how beautiful that must be?"

Sakura didn't understand, it was too over the top for her.

She is not yet fully proficient in conducting daily conversations in Chinese, and ancient Chinese like Su Jinxing is still too difficult for her.

But Sakura also understood a little bit.

Just listening to Su Jinxing's last words and imagining them in my mind is already a very wonderful thing.

After half an hour, Sakura felt a little tired, so the two stopped.

Under a seat, Sakura leaned back comfortably on the seat and stretched her arms lazily.

"Sakura, take a picture of me." Su Jinxing touched the things in his pocket and said with a smile.

Sakura couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Okay, but I remember Oppa that you rarely take pictures."

"It's a rare occasion, but I've come here even if I come here." Su Jinxing said a Chinese joke that Sakura didn't quite understand.

Sakura really didn't understand and started to help Su Jinxing adjust his angle and posture very seriously.

"Oppa, step forward, don't put your hands behind your back, look into the distance pretending to be casual, and turn your face slightly."

Su Jinxing cooperated while waiting for the wind to come.

That's right, he brought Sakura to Jiariyuan just to wait for the wind to come.

In order to better cooperate with Feng, he even prepared his own props!

After a while, the wind came!

It's a pity that the gift of nature did not appear at this moment.

But it doesn’t matter, Su Jinxing brought it himself!

"What is that?" Su Jinxing was very good at acting and looked behind Sakura in surprise.

Sakura, who was taking pictures, turned around as expected. Su Jinxing took out a yellow maple leaf from his pocket, and when Sakura was about to turn around, he gently threw it into the air.

A maple leaf fell with the wind, slowly falling from above.

Sakura turned around and noticed it immediately. After all, the lonely falling maple leaves at this moment, the cold and lonely maple forest in the distance, and the majestic Su Jinxing under the tree formed a perfect, cold and distant picture.

Even at this moment, she thought of a line in "Five Centimeters per Second": If the speed of cherry blossoms falling is five centimeters per second, how long will it take for two hearts to get closer? What speed should I use to meet you?

Although maple leaves are not cherry blossoms, this scene, the text of this line, and her Sakura really match.

The moment Sakura pressed the shooting button, Su Jinxing also captured the maple leaf.

At this time, Sakura was looking at Su Jinxing through the camera, and Su Jinxing was clearly visible in the camera.

Just when Sakura wanted to ask why you wanted to grab that maple leaf, she heard Su Jinxing's voice.

"Sakura, I caught the maple leaf." Su Jinxing shook the maple leaf in his hand.

At this moment, Sakura realized where the strong sense of déjà vu in this scene came from.

In "The Lonely and Brilliant God-Goblin", the ghost and the destined bride are walking under the shade of maple leaves, but a maple leaf suddenly falls from the sky, and the ghost naturally catches it in his hand. But the girl asked the ghost to throw away the falling maple leaf. The ghost asked why, and the girl replied: If someone catches the falling maple leaf, then the two people walking together will be together forever.

At this moment, Sakura's heart was throbbing.
