When the master was a layman, one of the "five friends at the end of the world" was Xu; One winter, heavy snow fell, and old Shanghai was desolate at that time; Xu stood outside the door and shouted to Miss He, "Uncle and brother, my family is bankrupt. Let's meet again. " Say that finish, crying goodbye, even didn't go to a friend's house.
Li Shutong looked at the distant back of her former friend and stood in the snow for a whole hour. Even Miss Ye screamed many times, but she didn't seem to hear it. Later, just visible back to the house, closed the door, and Miss Yuzryha played the piano. With tears in his eyes, he wrote: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, Cao Qingtian asked when you would come, so don't linger when you come." ?
Poor rocking chair
When Li Shutong goes to Feng Zikai's house, he always shakes it before getting off the bus. Feng Zikai had a hard time asking questions at first, but when he saw that he had done so many times, he asked him why. Li Shutong replied that there might be bugs in this wooden rattan chair, so these little creatures shook and ran away, and sat down and didn't kill them.
The power of compassion
After Master Hongyi became a monk, Mr. Xu Beihong visited the master many times in the mountains. Once, Mr. Xu Beihong suddenly found that the branches on the mountain had been dead for many years, emitting new green shoots, and he couldn't help wondering.
He said to the mage, "This tree has sprouted because of you. A monk came to this mountain and touched the dead tree, and it came back to life. " Master Hongyi said, "No, it is because I water it every day that it slowly comes to life."
On another occasion, Mr. Xu Beihong visited Master Hongyi again. He saw a wild animal walking around in front of his master. He didn't mean to hurt anyone. Mr. Xu felt very strange and asked, "This beast is a beast on the mountain. Why don't you hurt people here? " The mage said, "It was caught by others earlier, but I let it go again, so it won't hurt me."
