Chapter 200: Thoughts arise like the wind, waves disturb the heart
The next morning, Luo Hao left the hotel alone. He did not wake up Zhang Siya and Xiao Luoqi who were still sleeping.
He took a taxi to the Edogawa Watanabe Rehabilitation Center.
The morning sun was bright and warm. A middle-aged woman sat quietly in a lounge chair by the pool at the Watanabe Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center.
The nurse stood beside her and watched over her.
Her eyes were empty and dull, as if they had lost focus and no longer captured any colors or sounds of the world around her.
The former agility in those eyes had quietly faded away, replaced by a deep confusion.
It's like being shrouded in a thick fog, with nothing to grasp.
Her hands were gently folded on her knees, her fingers trembling slightly, revealing her inner anxiety.
The sunlight shone on her body, giving her a faint golden glow, but it could not shine into the forgotten corner deep in her heart.
Her figure looked particularly lonely in the morning light, which made people feel pity for her.
Luo Hao, dressed in casual clothes and a baseball cap, approached her step by step.
His gaze fell gently on Li Yuexiu, who was sitting in a lounge chair, as if completely immersed in her own world.
He unconsciously slowed down his pace, fearing that he would disturb the tranquility.
Luo Hao approached slowly, with a cautious and expectant smile on his face, and whispered softly: "Mom, I'm here to see you.
Can you recognize me?
Feeling better?"
His voice was full of concern and longing for his mother.
However, Li Yuexiu just turned her head slightly, looking at the shimmering pool in the distance with empty eyes, as if she was unaware of Luo Hao's arrival.
Her expression was calm, and the occasional blink made her look even more dull.
At this time, the nurse on the side glanced at Luo Hao, then looked away, appearing a little indifferent.
Luo Hao's heart tightened and he paid more attention to his mother's unusual condition.
He squatted down and gently held his mother's hand. Just as he was about to ask, the nurse suddenly interrupted him: "Family member of the patient, the patient needs to rest now. You should come to visit the patient another day."
The nurse's words made Luo Hao feel something was wrong, but he couldn't immediately point out the problem.
At this moment, Li Yuexiu's fingers gently tapped Luo Hao's palm twice.
This subtle movement gave Luo Hao an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he felt that his mother's behavior seemed to hide some kind of information.
He didn't say much, but just said to his mother gently: "Mom, I'll come to see you in a few days."
After saying this, Luo Hao reluctantly left his mother's side.
Afterwards, he went to the dean's office, where he planned to discuss with the dean the idea of discharging his mother directly from the hospital.
After hearing this, the dean said that he did not recommend Luo Hao to do so.
He suggested that Luo Hao let Li Yuexiu continue to recuperate in the rehabilitation center, as he believed that the environment and treatment here would be more conducive to Li Yuexiu's recovery.
The director pointed out that Li Yuexiu's current mood is relatively stable, and if she can continue to receive treatment in the rehabilitation center, she is likely to gradually recover her memory.
After hearing the dean's suggestion, Luo Hao began to hesitate about whether to bring his mother home.
He knew that his mother's health was the most important thing.
Therefore, after in-depth communication with the dean and careful consideration, he decided to temporarily respect the dean's opinion and let his mother continue to receive treatment in the rehabilitation center.
The next day, in a mountainous area far away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tokyo, Luo Hao and Hui Jing stood on a small hill and looked out.
In the distance, the initial preparation work is underway at the site of the Tokyo Hakurinji branch temple.
"Junior brother, you look like you have a lot on your mind!
It seems that your worries are just like your three thousand strands of worries, increasing day by day.
Why not tell your senior brother about it? Maybe I can help you solve your problem!"
At this moment, Luo Hao kept thinking about Senior Yingcun who had once promised to help him regain the boxing champion belt.
It’s been three years. That was three years ago, but there has been no progress until now. I haven’t even participated in a professional boxing match in three years.
Luo Hao always felt that something was wrong with his mother who lived in the Watanabe Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center.
The person who made Luo Hao most indignant was Katsumasa Hayami of Toyo Electric Power.
In the bet on Chinatown, I had clearly already lost to him, so why did he still want to be so cruel to me?
This incident also caused his mother to lose her memory. The seeds of hatred were deeply buried in Luo Hao's heart. He would definitely seek revenge from Hayami Katsumasa.
However, Luo Hao did not mention this matter to Senior Brother Huijing.
He felt that even if he told Senior Brother Huijing about his troubles, it would be of no use.
What's more, Senior Brother Huijing is also very busy now. The infrastructure project of Bailin Temple is about to start, and there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. How can I cause more trouble for him?
Luo Hao looked at the distant mountains and sighed, "Brother, it is normal to have some worries in life.
Right now you are busy with the infrastructure project of the Tokyo branch of Bailin Temple, and you are exhausted enough.
I can handle my own affairs by myself, I dare not disturb you again!"
After hearing this, Brother Huijing chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha!"
He then began to give Luo Hao a long lecture on Buddhism.
"If the thought is not clear, the inner demon will arise secretly.
Thoughts arise like the wind, creating waves that disturb the peace of mind.
Close your eyes and observe yourself, breathe into meditation,
One thought, one world; understanding is enlightenment.
Troubles are like floating clouds, drifting away with the wind.
The state of mind is like a mirror, free from dust.
Understanding is not something you seek from outside; it comes naturally from within.
Once the inner demons are eliminated, the joy of Zen will spread throughout the Dharma body.
The true meaning of this is hard to express in words.
I hope you will always reflect on yourself and be able to understand the world without obstacles.
......"
Hearing Brother Huijing start to talk about the great principles of Buddhism, Luo Hao frowned slightly, "Brother Huijing, you are very busy, and I suddenly remembered that I have some things to deal with. I will not hinder you from doing the important business of the temple. Goodbye."
After saying that, Luo Hao took two steps at a time and quickly disappeared from Huijing's sight.
After leaving the mountains, Luo Hao decided to visit the senior from Yingcun who had taken good care of him.
Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, located in the southwest of Tokyo, is one of the 23 wards of Tokyo and is famous for its good living environment and convenient transportation.
Setagaya Ward is not only the second largest and most populous administrative district among the 23 wards of Tokyo, but is also home to many social elites such as entrepreneurs, artists, and cultural celebrities. It is known as a model of high-end residential areas.
Futakotamagawa, as a famous villa area in Setagaya Ward, provides residents with a high-quality living environment with its unique design and complete supporting commercial and living facilities.
This was the second time that Luo Hao came to the villa of his senior in Yingcun.
Every time he stood in front of this tall, black iron gate, Luo Hao couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be an insurmountable class gap between him and the seniors in Yingcun.
However, whenever he recalled the past when he and Senior Yingcun worked together to defeat the black bear in the mountains, he felt that Senior Yingcun was his most trustworthy senior.
However, when Luo Hao stood at the door of the villa of his senior in Yingcun today, the feeling seemed different from last time.
He remembered that the last time he came here, it felt gloomy and depressing, but today it was much brighter.
Luo Hao looked around and found that the big mulberry tree that used to be in front of the house of the elder Yingcun was gone, and now only a lonely stump was left.
"No wonder it's so bright, it turns out that big mulberry tree was cut down!"
Luo Hao muttered, "But it's okay, the door is much brighter now, and my mood becomes more relaxed."
Then he rang the doorbell, "Ding Dong!"
