Chapter 141: Heartwarming Smile
"Shopkeeper, bring me two more steamed buns to take away. After thinking about it, he greeted the busy little boss.
She knew very well that the quickest way to know something from a businessman was to buy something first, so even if she didn't need the steamed buns, she still wanted two.
"Hey, okay. "Hey, Woman, you haven't eaten yet, do you still want steamed buns?" The tea stall owner heard the voice, and turned around alertly.
The owner of this tea stall is probably also an honest man, and when he turned around, he saw that the table full of dishes in front of him was motionless, and he asked for steamed buns again this time.
"I'm going to take all of this with me. You can clean it up together. In order not to arouse suspicion, he took out a certain amount of silver and put it on the table, and continued to follow the boss's words.
"Oh, oh good, the little one will be done for the woman right away. "Although this little boss is enthusiastic, as a businessman, he still has eyesight.
Seeing that he had taken out the ingot of silver, the owner of the tea stall said no more, and began to pack up the dry goods that had not been moved, and the soup and the like really could not be taken away, so it could not be wrapped in oiled paper.
After a while, the boss put all the food packed up in front of him, "Woman, your things are ready." Here's the rest of the money, you take it. โ
"The rest of the money will be given to you. Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, can you get to the auspicious tree along this road?" Although everyone who came and went was talking about the auspicious tree, Sora asked first to be on the safe side.
"Woman, the little one hasn't been there, but the little one heard that as long as you keep walking in the direction of the water. The boss saw the White Sand Woman asking for directions, and was a little embarrassed to spare the back of his head.
'There is the direction of the water. โ
Kongkong looked back to the left, and the direction of the water in the shop's mouth was definitely referring to the turquoise stream not far away.
"Good. Thanks a lot. After secretly speculating, Kongkong felt that it should be the stream he was talking about, so he thanked him and wanted to leave.
What's more, even if not, the occasional person along the way can show her the way. What's more, her feet are much faster than ordinary people. No matter how bad it is, it can catch up with those who passed by before, and those people must know how to walk.
"You go slowly, you go slowly. โ
Leaving the small tea stall, Kongkong followed the instructions along the stream all the way upstream. With the guidance of the stream, it is also quite smooth. She saw a few people along the way, and in order to be close to the others, she could slow down.
Half a day later, she came to the legendary auspicious tree. Even if you don't have to confirm with anyone, Sora knows that it must be the auspicious tree in those people's mouths.
In the vast blue, there is only one floating green pill, which is particularly eye-catching.
There is an ancient tree with big roots and deep roots, and this ancient tree has many leafy branches, but it is red by the many red silk wooden signs.
Some pilgrims who had already arrived here knelt down under the tree with great reverence, chanting some words of supplication over and over again.
The tree is enclosed by a simple stone wall, and contains only a simple wooden house, a well, and a wooden platform.
At this moment, there are also the same wooden signs on the wooden platform as those on the tree, but these wooden signs are obviously not like the black and strong calligraphy on the tree.
In front of the wooden platform, there was an old man in plain clothes, who was burying his head in the records, and it seemed that he was writing some prayers for these pilgrims.
Following up with a neat and orderly team, and observing it carefully for some time, Kongkong did not feel any spiritual power fluctuations in this tree, nor did it seem to be psychic. Where is this wood spirit, it's clearly just a big tree that is relatively old.
It's not as good as the old man who helps people write, but he just looks at it with his eyes and knows that the old man is afraid that he is also a cultivator, his face is full of traces of time, but the color of his eyes is full of spirit, and he can't see a trace of aging.
Thinking about it, this old man's cultivation should not be too high, maybe it was just the Qi refining period. So even though there is a life expectancy now, it can't stop the aging face.
It's just that he doesn't understand that this auspicious tree is not a tree spirit, and the old man's cultivation is not too high, can he solve the things they want for these pilgrims who come in an endless stream alone?
Kongkong secretly guessed that this old man must be the only one behind this matter, so at this moment, she only regarded it as a crowd of people who came to pray for blessings, and honestly followed the people in line to see what was going on.
But the team didn't move much for a long time, the old man had to listen to the narration of these pilgrims first, and then slowly rewrite after listening, so after she waited in line for a long time, the line still didn't move much, so it was a little long.
But Sora didn't care, she was just waiting in line to appear normal and listen to more information.
"Hey, you're here. What are you doing so fast, telling you to wait for me. Suddenly, his shoulders sank, and a hand pressed on his empty shoulder.
Looking back at the empty space, under the light satin, the person's appearance was like a misty cloud, and he squinted his eyes slightly, and only through the empty space of the white sand could he see the person's face clearly.
Under Lang Ruolie's eyebrows, a pair of smiling starry eyes and a young man with bright teeth and red lips. He winked at her.
This young man is about the prime of life, but he is as tall as her, and his hearty smile is like a mellow intoxicating wine, dense and dense, and every bit fills the empty body, as if the sun warms her. Let the empty space feel an incomparable comfort that has never been felt before.
It was only a matter of moments for Sora to understand the boy's intentions, and although her glance made her feel like her heart was in half-beat, Sora knew clearly that she didn't know the boy at all, and after glancing up and down, it was only the coarse cloth robe that reminded her of the back of the scornful smile at the tea stall.
At present, this long queue should be his intention to pat her on the shoulder at this moment, but he didn't expect that this matter of cutting the queue would exist no matter when and where it is.
Although she was reluctant to let him โกโก come, Kongkong still didn't make a sound, she was pretending to be a mortal at the moment, and she didn't want to attract the attention of the people around her, if she argued with this young man's theory, she would definitely attract countless eyes.
Seeing that Kongkong didn't make a sound, the young man grinned again, leaned his head slightly towards Kongkong, and whispered, "Thank you." โ
Slightly foreheadd, empty and still silent. The people in the team behind him saw that the woman in white did not stop her, and seemed to acquiesce, and they didn't know whether they acquiesced or felt that it was inconvenient to make a loud noise here, so the young man was not hindered when he stepped in.
It's just that the queue is really moving slowly, and when the time is empty, the old man can write a wooden sign in about half an hour, and she waits here for about the fifth person, and the old man gets up and puts away his pen and says to the long line: "It's late today, if you still need the old ghostwriter pilgrims, please be early tomorrow, the temple door will not be closed within seven days, and everyone can stay at will." โ
'What, just stay at will. As soon as he heard this, he immediately looked around the place inside the stone wall, and there was a small wooden house in the middle of this small place, and he knew that the wooden house was his place of meditation. He let the people dwell in this place.
Before he could think about it, the young man next to him took out a dirty gray cloth from the small waist bag on his waist, stretched out his hand and shook it, and the dust was scattered everywhere. Not only him, but everyone in the front and back rows seemed to be prepared, and they took out some cold things from their respective storage places.
'Are they planning to continue queuing?' looked at the busy appearance of the crowd, and Sora was a little surprised.
"Miss, how is this good, although it looks very clean here, but we can't rest in the open like this. A familiar voice sounded, and Kong Kong glanced forward, and saw the young lady and the maid who were talking in the daytime.
The young lady also seemed to have some doubts, and her teeth tightened her lips, and she said in a low voice for a while: "Just wait here, if the wheels are gone, we will have to rearrange them." โ
After speaking, the young lady didn't care about the tilt of her shoulders, and made a gesture to sit on the ground, and the maid saw this, and hurriedly grabbed the young lady, took out a square handkerchief, and threw it on the ground.
And in front of him, an old man was also pulling a middle-aged noblewoman, bending over and talking.
"Madam, let the old slave come to the row, and you go to the carriage to accompany the young lady. โ
It seems that she is not the only one who is at a loss at the moment, and she is inexplicably relieved. I was silently thinking in my heart, if she wanted to rest on the spot, it would not be difficult, but there were so many people at the moment, if she meditated, it would definitely look a little abrupt, and it seemed that she still needed to do a general rest.
"It seems that you didn't bring a matcloth, so you can sit half of my share. The young man laid out the cloth on the floor, looked up and saw that Kongkong was just standing there in a daze, unmoving, thinking that she was like those big people who were not prepared.
So he stood up again, his head slightly, and with that charming smile he reached out to pull her.
The empty reflex retracted his hand slightly, and looked up at the young man.
"It's not for you to sit in vain, I remember you packed a lot of food, can you share some with me?" the young man said this, but the tone of doubt in his tone was unusually obvious.
During the day, he was sure that he saw that Kongkong had taken a lot of food away from the tea stall, and then he didn't follow her footsteps along the way, and after seeing it this time, he didn't see where the food was put when he looked left and right, and the white-clothed masked woman didn't have a burden on her body, if she put those foods in her sleeves? Did she throw away all the food?
The vigilant habit that had been worn for so many years could not be changed for a while, and the instinctive reaction of the young man when he stretched out his hand made her tense all over, and it was only after she had listened to the young man's words that she relaxed slightly.
It turned out that he was hungry.
