Lu Yalan and the others went out in the morning and rushed all the way to Qianyun Temple, and they didn't stop to rest at noon, but only used some snacks with warm water in the carriage.

Although Yancheng and other places were relatively peaceful under the rule of Mu Dashuai, and there were no bandit robberies on the road from Yancheng to Qianyun Temple, there are bandits everywhere now.

After the family made the situation clear, Lu Yalan expressed her understanding, and the carriage of the Lu Mansion rushed to Qianyun Temple cautiously and quickly along the way, even if Hongxing was worried that the young lady would not eat well, she did not stop when she saw the tea house. In this way, more than groups of pilgrims, finally arrived at Qianyun Temple when the sun was setting in the west, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qianyun Temple has been built for hundreds of years, it is located on the mountain, there is only a steep mountain road up and down the mountain, rugged and winding, standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking at the temple can only see the red paint falling off, the eaves of the ancient clumsy and ingenious. On the way up the mountain, as long as one side of the body is the floating clouds under their feet, people are afraid at the same time can not help but have the pride and ambition to climb high and look far, someone asked why the host wants to build the temple so high and so steep, the host replied that this is to practice the heart.

Later, the incense flourished, and the pilgrims flocked endlessly, in order to facilitate the pilgrims, the host finally agreed to the request of the good men and women to pave the steps for the mountain road, but the temple has not been renovated, and now from the bottom of the mountain, you can still see the mottled eaves at the end of the mountain road.

Lu Yalan looked up, Qianyun Temple seemed to be in the clouds, there were pilgrims on the winding and rugged path, there were those who stood on the road and looked at the sky with their backs, there were those who sat on a sliding pole and commanded, some wore cheongsams and some wore suits and ties, and a mountain road staged all kinds of beings.

The bell came with the incense in the wind, Lu Yalan took a deep breath, and only felt that her ears and eyes were clear.

Because the incense of Qianyun Temple is prosperous, there are many merchants and hawkers who start pilgrim business at the foot of the mountain, and then settle down, and there is never a shortage of excitement here. It is also a rare experience to be detached from the world on the mountain and dusty under the mountain.

"Miss, I've inquired, there is a vegetarian restaurant here that is particularly delicious, many big celebrities come to taste it, the mountain road is so long, it takes a lot of physical strength to climb up, or let's eat something and go up again." ”

Hongxing has never been to Qianyun Temple, but it does not prevent her from asking people who have come, she has already made a thoughtful plan, listing all the places worth going around, and will take the young lady to play after settling down.

If it was other times, Lu Yalan would have agreed, but this would have something in her heart, that mysterious memory was a gift to her, why did this one-in-a-million opportunity fall on her?

Except for the Buddha's pity, Lu Yalan couldn't think of any other reason.

She was now desperate to thank the Buddha. "After all, I'm here to be punished, and it's better to burn incense and listen to the scriptures in the monastery for a few days. Let's go up. Seeing that Hongxing was a little disappointed, he said: "It's hard to come out once, naturally we can't let go of such a good opportunity, we have settled down after worshipping the Buddha, and we can walk around after doing our homework every day." Rest assured, the plan you have made will not be wasted. ”

Hongxing's eyes lit up, and she was a little embarrassed, and she smirked on the side.

The coachman has been here many times, driving the carriage to the familiar inn to stay, and when Lu Yalan goes down the mountain, he will wait at the foot of the mountain in advance.

"Miss, the mountain road is steep and it's not easy to walk, do you want to take my sliding rod up?" Seeing Lu Yalan look over, the porter grinned with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, rubbed his hands and stood up, "My sliding rod is fast and steady, so you are not bumped." ”

Lu Yalan shook her head and said that she would hike up the mountain.

The mountain road looks very long, and it is more difficult to walk, and in some narrow places, the steps are not as wide as a woman's small feet, and if you want to pass, you have to tiptoe, so it is okay for others to walk down all the way, and Lu Yalan, who does not often contribute, has sweat on her forehead.

"Miss, let's rest. Hongxing straightened up and looked around, and saw that there were a few big stones on the side of the road a little further up, and many pilgrims may have landed there, and the surrounding stones were particularly smooth, which was a good place to rest.

Lu Yalan wiped her sweat and was pulled over by Hongxing.

No matter what others think, this time the incense is to punish Lu Yalan, naturally it is impossible for her to go out with a group of maids, except for Hong Xing, the others are all family members who protect Lu Yalan's safety, after all, these people have different identities, and they generally follow not far or close, so many things have to be handled by Hong Xing alone.

Hongxing took out the mat and put it on the stone, and kicked away the gravel and weeds around her with her foot, so busy for a long time before letting Lu Yalan sit down.

"Sit down and rest for a while. Lu Yalan couldn't cry or laugh, and when she saw that Hongxing was about to set up refreshments, she hurriedly grabbed her: "You'll be busy when you go up the mountain, so take a break." ”

The pilgrims in the past kept glancing at the two of them, Lu Yalan was a little uncomfortable, and Hongxing realized that she was a little too excited, and smiled embarrassedly at Lu Yalan.

The further up he went, the stronger the wind in the mountains, and the lower the temperature, Lu Yalan felt that the hot sweat had turned into cold ice after sitting for a while, and the cold made people shiver, so he beckoned people to continue walking up.

It was early spring, everything had not yet woken up, and there was no emerald green in sight from the mountain, Lu Yalan looked at the overlapping and undulating mountains in the distance, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, only to feel that her mood was suddenly brightened, but she might as well have a figure in front of her falling from the sky and crashing straight into Lu Yalan's arms.

"Oops!"

"Ahh

"Miss!"

Lu Yalan was caught off guard and only felt that her chest was squeezed vigorously, and the impact force was so strong that she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and almost stepped on the air and fell down the steps.

The incident happened in an instant, and when the family reacted and asked about the situation, Lu Yalan came back to her senses in shock.

"Miss, how are you, are you alright?"

Hongxing tore open a lump of people that were still stuck to the young lady's arms, and checked the young lady up and down to see if she was injured.

Lu Yalan felt her body for a while, and there was no big problem. She comforted Hongxing and looked at the culprit who was thrown aside by Hongxing.

The woman looked to be over forty years old, and her body was two Lu Yalanda, and she curled up on her right foot, and she struggled to stand on one foot, and she looked like she had broken her foot, and there was sweat oozing from her forehead, and I don't know if it was frightened or painful. She knew that innocent people were involved, and she was rudely pushed away by Hongxing and didn't make a sound, seeing everyone looking over, the woman endured the pain, and squeezed out an apologetic smile on her white and chubby face: "Girl, I'm really sorry, I'm not sure to hurt you by accidentally breaking my foot." ”

Lu Yalan had a hint of enlightenment, I am afraid that such a great strength comes from the weight of this lady.

"I'm sorry, girl, for frightening you. Seeing that the fat lady couldn't stand on her feet, she apologized again and again, and Hongxing, who was holding back her anger, couldn't speak, but was pulled by Lu Yalan and stood next to her silently.

When she was first pulled by Hongxing, Lu Yalan was afraid for a while, such a steep step, such a great force, if she fell, she might really die, but when she came over and saw this fat lady, she also knew that she didn't mean it.

Lu Yalan stepped forward to support the fat lady and let her lean on herself. "It's okay, no one has an accident when you're out of the house. How's your foot?"

Lu Yalan was blocked by the red apricot before, and it was only at this time that the fat lady saw Lu Yalan's appearance under the sea clearly, her eyes shrank, and then she became more enthusiastic.

The fat lady patted Lu Yalan's hand: "Good girl, fortunately we are all fine, if it weren't for your wife, she would have confessed here today." She gently moved her right foot with Lu Yalan's strength, and then looked at the mountain gate not far away, "It's not a big problem, just rest for a few days, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to go up the mountain." ”

Lu Yalan saw that the fat lady's forehead was covered with sweat, and motioned for Hongxing to help wipe it off. "You are too polite, just look at your face and know that you are a rich and noble person, and your life will be long, not that I will have others to help you. ”

The fat lady laughed: "Little girl, do you still look at your face?" But even if you coax me, I will accept it." ”

Lu Yalan is not completely coaxing, the fat lady is white and fat, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, there is a smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows when she speaks, which makes people feel good, although she is dressed plainly, she is as elegant as the wife of a rich family, and at first glance she is a harmonious family and filial piety, and her life is very comfortable.

Lu Yalan was a little confused, people like the fat lady should not come to the incense alone, why hasn't anyone come to check yet, but after all, she didn't ask too much.

Lu Yalan looked left and right, and motioned for Hongxing to come over and help her help the fat lady to the side to rest. "Madame, what are you going to do next, whether to continue up the mountain or prepare to go down. ”

The fat lady looked at the mountain gate and sighed, "It's also my wife who is reckless, thinking that this road can be touched countless times with her eyes closed, so she is impatient for others to follow, and let them wait for me on the mountain. She smiled bitterly: "It is inevitable that there will be a headache and brain fever among the pilgrims, there are monks in the monastery who know medical skills, and the medical treatment is better than ordinary doctors. ”

The fat lady paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Girl, I'm really sorry to delay you for so long today." However, there is something that the old woman still wants to trouble you, can you help me call my family after you get to the top of the mountain? Seeing that Lu Yalan had a difficult face, he hurriedly added: "They are very recognizable, they are tigers and bears, and they can be seen at a glance when they stand at the mountain pass." ”

Lu Yalan saw that the fat lady had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, you misunderstood." It's windy and cold here, how can you stay here with an injury. If you don't mind, let my family carry you up the mountain. Of course, if it's not convenient, I'll leave a few people to take care of you. ”

Although it is said to be the Republic of China now, the concept of male and female defense has always been, and ordinary people forget it, and many noble ladies like the fat lady will care about this. Lu Yalan was not worried about leaving the fat lady here, and she was worried that the fat lady would mind the distance between men and women, and she would not want to be carried by strangers, so she was a little embarrassed.

Seeing Lu Yalan's sincere eyes, the fat lady still had worry about her in her eyes, she patted the back of Lu Yalan's hand again: "Good boy, just listen to you, the old woman is half cut into the ground, I haven't seen anything, I don't care about that." ”

Lu Yalan smiled happily and asked the family to come over and carry people, and she helped adjust her posture.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, exchanged identities, and the fat lady looked like a noble lady who didn't come out of the door, but she didn't expect to talk about the scenery and food in various places, Lu Yalan's eyes were wide open, and she kept asking questions, and Hong Xing also occasionally interjected a few words. The short stone stairs just got out of the feeling that was different from the first half.
