Chapter 875
The location was so familiar that I panicked for a moment when I saw the body under the white cloth.
I still had her story in my head, but why did she kill herself?
Which character did she carry in the story?
I have no way of finding out, and no regrets after seeing the person who should have seen it. There is a Tibetan place called Seda next to Jingcheng.
The people there are devout to the Buddha. I went there, and the road into the mountain is steep, where the Buddha landed, carrying countless relieved souls.
Some people go into the mountains in search of a peace of mind, and even more in search of a release.
The road is not spacious, there are no vehicles, and on the road that is flattened by countless devotees kneeling three times, there are still people who take three steps and one buckle, reverently approaching the Buddha.
Wrapped in a red scarf, I let the wind howl at the top of the mountain as I followed the procession of worshippers, kneeling in the crowd, not opening my mouth to pray, nor did I recite the sutras aloud.
It was just a silent recitation in my mind that each step of bowing meant that sorrow and pain were turned away and grief turned the page.
Perhaps my movements were too abrupt, and an old man beside me spoke up. “Girl, you still need to wear knee pads, you can easily hurt your knees.”
I looked up and saw that the old man’s eyes were moist and his mouth had a light, soft smile that was gentle and kind.
I smiled lightly, “No matter, the more pain I have, the less they will suffer.”
The Buddhists say that those who are alive have not bowed down once for those who have died, and the more devout the heart the easier it is for the dead to be liberated.
It was a long walk, as the old man had said, and by the time I reached the top of the hill, I was somewhat unable to bend my knees.
Prostrating at the Buddha’s feet, my eyes closed and my hands joined in prayer, “May I, the Buddha, be merciful and bless the living and the dead with peace.”
The sound of chanting came to my ears as I knelt in the Buddha’s shop and gazed longingly at the statue. The Buddha’s face was loving and his narrow, slightly upturned eyes seemed to have seen through all the sorrows and joys of time and right and wrong.
Let it go!
Life is too short, everything is a passing cloud, let go of it to be liberated.
All some of this world, are themselves released and relieved, whether sad or not, all the sufferings of the past are thrown away on the path of worship, turning the sutra disc spinning and turning, all this time is so.
Legend has it that the path of reincarnation is also like the turning of a rosary, passing through the gloom and sorrow, the path of sunset and dusk, with a resolute heart and warm hands, all of this, as the light turns, falls into a better future.
……
a city, June.
In the evening, the late department of Anda Group, the middle-aged man came in holding a hitch of documents and placed them in front of me, speaking, “These documents are the information to be used by the marketing department tomorrow, you may have to work overtime tonight.”
I nodded, put down the work in my hands, looked at him and said, “I won’t be going to the dinner tonight.”
The man was helpless, “It’s always a company gathering of colleagues, so it’s more or less inappropriate for you not to go.”
I looked up at him and sighed slightly, “I’ve got too much work to do and I have to work late.”
“These documents won’t be needed until tomorrow afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time to deal with them in the morning, Shen Shu, you always have to interact with outsiders, don’t you?” He was a little bitter, with a touch of helplessness.
I smiled and looked up at him, “Li An, I’m not not not communicating with outsiders, nor am I trying to avoid it, it’s just that I don’t like it.”
He sighed and after a pause said, “You’ve been with the company for almost a month now, how many of your colleagues have you spoken to now? Shen Shu, if you choose to make a new start, then the situation you’re in now is definitely not a new start.”
I stopped moving and looked at him, “What would be a new beginning?”
Chapter 876
“To reach out to new people, new friends, new things!”
I nodded my head and responded, “Good!”
He froze, thinking that I agreed, and spoke, “The address of the party is at the Oasis Hotel, don’t be late.”
After saying that, he also put an invitation card on my desk and said, “Take this card, just go in later and take the number plate directly.”
I nodded and was a little surprised, “You still need an invitation card?”
He said, “The company has already paid the money, so you can just go in and play, the hot spring bath hotel, it’s a one-stop service, just go in and play whatever you want.”
So high class?
He was in a hurry to leave first, so he didn’t say much to me.
Suddenly remembering that I had to take a leave of absence in a few days, I couldn’t help but say to him, “Li An, I may have to take a leave of absence in a few days, you have to approve it for me.”
He turned around and looked at me with a frown, “Going to the capital?”
I nodded, “Something I have to go back to do.”
“Missing the kids?”
Suddenly noticing that he was talking a bit too much, I couldn’t help but say, “Pretty much.”
He nodded and after a moment’s thought said, “We can come together, I’m going back in a few days too.”
The nature was different and I was just about to say no when he said, “Alright, hurry up and pack your things and get ready to go to the hotel!”
Seeing him leave, I said no more and looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already time to leave work.
I couldn’t help but look at the invitation card on the side, originally I didn’t want to go, but since I had agreed to it, there was no reason not to go, so I simply packed my things and left the company and took a taxi to the hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, I happened to meet two female colleagues from the company and after a few words of greeting, we entered the hotel together.
After taking the number plate in the hotel lobby, the waiter said, “The three of you go change your shoes and clothes first.”
I was stunned, was all hotel service so special?
Two other colleagues, who had probably been here a few times, saw me wondering and said, “This is a spa hotel, it’s not primarily a place to stay, but to eat, drink and play, so most people come to the hotel to play, not to live.”
After following the two men into the changing room and changing their clothes, they went straight up to the third floor play area, which was indeed just as they had said.
In the hotel, it was mostly about eating and drinking, with a games room, entertainment plaza and dining area on the third floor.
Originally, I thought that the so-called gathering would probably be just about everyone getting together for a meal and a drink.
There were many guests in the hotel, and occasionally we met a few colleagues from the company, but they just said hello and went their own way.
I found a seat in the music hall, I’m a bit lazy by nature and I don’t like to walk around when I sit down.
“Is there anyone here?”
A voice came to my ear and I froze slightly, turning around to see a familiar face, but for a moment I couldn’t remember exactly who it was, it just seemed familiar.
The man was 5’5″, with a slender, jade-like figure and a handsome face that was a little cool.
Seeing me staring blankly at him, he froze slightly and raised an eyebrow, “Someone?”
I shook my head, withdrew my gaze and said indifferently, “No!”
He sat down in the seat next to me, a Coke in his hand.
