Chapter 304 Calling Awu

The nun stood calmly inside the door, with one palm on her chest, chanted the Buddha's name, and stepped out of the nunnery.

"I don't know who is Shao Shi mainly looking for?" She asked, her voice was calm and warm, without any surprise, as if she knew that there was someone outside the door, and even... also knew who it was.

It was a very strange feeling, which made Du Guangwu feel inexplicable emotions.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, tried to maintain a steady tone, and said respectfully: "The one you are looking for, the Dharma name is Juehui."

He wasn't sure if there was any anxiety in his voice, the only thing he could feel at the moment was the rapid heartbeat in his chest and the palms that were getting more and more sweaty.

The nun was not in a hurry to speak.

Du Guangwu could feel that she was looking at him.

With a bit of scrutiny, eyes that seemed to be trying to remember something, lingered around him.

Then, he heard her slight inhalation.

"Juehui?" She repeated in a murmur, her voice was low and weak, and there was a kind of piercing sadness in her ears.

The wind passed by her side, her wide sleeves were rolled up, and there was a "fluttering" sound. In the bamboo forest, the thick phoenix tails hummed quietly, like drizzle falling with the wind, adding a bit of silence.

After a long time, the nun finally let out a long sigh, turned around and closed the door of the nunnery, and then her slightly desolate voice sounded: "I can't hide in the end." She said.

With just this sentence, she turned around and headed towards the bamboo forest.

Du Guangwu stood up straight, watching the direction she was leaving, and there was no change in expression on his plain face.

When the matter came before him, he finally regained his previous composure.

"It's inconvenient to be in the nunnery, let's go to the bamboo forest." After walking a few steps, the nun stopped and said in a low voice, and then continued walking.Under the faint setting sun, the Ziyi was blown up by the wind and clinging to her body, revealing the nun's tall and slender figure.

It wasn't until now that Du Guangwu realized that the nun spoke with a slight accent, and her Mandarin was very standard, and her voice was gentle and soft, just like Du Guangwu's first impression of her.

He followed silently.

As the dusk gradually deepened, the gold powder in the bamboo forest gradually faded, and finally there was only a gleam of light left, but the surrounding area was still very bright.The sky in the west is a clean cyan blue, with a few colorful clouds dotted on it.

This is the most common dusk scene in summer. However, in Du Guangwu's eyes, it is the first time he has seen such a vast and distant scene in his life.

There is no courtyard wall to block, and no city walls to cover the eyes. The endless sky, the mountains in the distance, the bamboo forest nearby, and the woman in Ziyi in the forest together form a lonely picture.

This picture was imprinted in the depths of his mind for a long time, and for many years afterwards, every time he recalled it, his heart would always be filled with ups and downs.

At this moment, his mood was also anxious. Even though he looked calm on the surface, his palms were wet with sweat.

The bamboo forest is quiet and deep, and large pieces of pruning bamboo are swaying with the wind in the evening, rustling like an autumn sound.

The two walked silently for a while, and then came to the center of the bamboo forest.There was an open space about Zhang Xu wide, surrounded by straight and slender green bamboos, like a natural barrier, isolating them from the outside world.

The nun stopped here, but did not turn around, but still turned her back to Du Guangwu.She raised her head slightly, looked at the fading sun in the distance, and let out a long sigh.

"I... am Juehui." Her voice was quiet, as if being disturbed by the mountain wind, and when it fell into Du Guangwu's ears, it was more like a sigh.

Du Guangwu clenched his fists, there was no unnecessary expression on that ordinary face, only a pair of eyes, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, just like his heart at this moment.

He took a deep breath, stared at Juehui's tall back, tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and said, "My servant's surname is Du, it's Xiangyuan..."

"I know." Before he could speak, Juehui interrupted his words, with a calm voice, but the words he said were shocking: "I know that the young benefactor's surname is Du, he is a family member, and his name is... Guangwu. "

At this point, her voice changed slightly, as if the word "Guangwu" was squeezed out from the depths of her throat, and it was extremely difficult to speak.

Du Guangwu looked at her silently, took two steps forward slowly, and stood a little closer to her.

Juehui's words did not exceed his expectations.

As early as when Juehui led him to the bamboo forest, he knew that she should know his identity.

It was a very subtle feeling, like when he saw Juehui, he didn't feel strange, but only felt her gentleness. When Juehui looked at him, the eyes didn't look strange, but like seeing an old friend.

For a moment, he even felt that he might really know Juehui.Long, long ago, in those vague and distant memories, there seemed to be such a tall and gentle woman who accompanied him when he was a child.

"Awu... How are you doing recently?" Juehui asked softly, her tone was astringent, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.

Du Guangwu's expression was a little hesitant.

The wind blew off a few bamboo leaves, and the slender green leaves lightly brushed over his dusty skirt and landed on the side of his mud-stained boots.

On his face, inexplicably, there was a trace of sadness.

It had been a long time since anyone had called him that way.

Awu is his nickname.

However, as long as he can remember, Li usually only calls him "Silang", and only when he is in a good mood, he will call him a baby name as a gift.And as he got older, Li's mood seemed to never be better. That nickname, which represented kindness and warmth, was buried in his sleeping memory and never appeared again.

"Awu's eyes are very similar to those of a girl." Juehui's voice was still low, almost like a whimper. After finishing speaking, she finally turned around and looked at Du Guangwu.

Du Guangwu also turned his attention to her.

She was quite handsome, even though she was getting old, even if she had shaved off her hair, her face and facial features were still attractive, and her complexion was still fair. There is a kind of indescribable compassion and kindness in the hazy halo.

"Who do you think I... look like?" Du Guangwu opened his mouth somewhat awkwardly.

The question that had been circling in his mind for a long time was actually on the edge of his mouth. However, when it was time to say it, thousands of thoughts surged up, and his chest seemed to be clogged with a mess. Words are extremely difficult.

He swallowed, and subconsciously wiped his hands on the edge of his robe.

The sweat on his palms made him feel uncomfortable, and a bunch of different thoughts came and went in his mind, and he even felt dizzy, so he had to close his eyes and calm his breath.
