Chapter 140: Revisiting the Old Place

The sun rose from the horizon in the early morning, accompanied by the crowing of chickens in the village, Yang Yu got up and opened the curtain of the West House, the cold and dense showers outside had stopped, and he decided to take Hu Yuxuan to climb Nanshan again.

After Yang Yu and Hu Yuxuan freshened up, Yang Yu said hello to his wife, and the two walked towards the south at the door of the house, Yang Yu took Hu Yuxuan's hand and stepped on a bluestone bridge and walked to a winding river, there are many tall willow trees planted next to the riverbank, and the Qianqian wicker is swaying in the wind and reflecting in the river water a beautiful three thousand green silks like a woman falling.

There is a Bodhisattva temple in the stone recess on the halfway of Nanshan Mountain to enshrine a statue of Guanyin, Yang Yu remembered that his mother took him there when he was a child, this time Yang Yu wanted to take Hu Yuxuan over to have a look, so he took Hu Yuxuan's hand from the river along a thorny, bumpy and tortuous path to the Bodhisattva temple and climbed up.

Maybe the road to the Bodhisattva temple halfway up the mountainside is too steep, and there are only old people and children left in Xiwa Village, so no one climbs this halfway up the mountainside to incense all year round, resulting in this Bodhisattva temple has been deserted, facing the thorny path, Yang Yu had to open the way in front, and Hu Yuxuan followed closely behind him.

Waiting for Yang Yu to walk to the Bodhisattva temple halfway up the mountain, he took away the iron rod inserted in the door of the Bodhisattva temple and pushed open the two mottled wooden doors, a smell of dust and smoke instantly spread, and there was a lonely Bodhisattva statue standing in the dark cave, and the spider webs in the cave were entwined horizontally, looking very desolate and dilapidated.

Yang Yu took out the cigarette case in his pocket and took out three Zhongnanhai, he lit it and inserted Zhongnanhai in the incense burner that was missing a corner in the temple, Yang Yu leaned over and kowtowed in front of the Bodhisattva statue without the slightest pretension, he sincerely hoped that the so-called gods could bless the people around him to be safe.

Hu Yuxuan also pious worship to the Bodhisattva statue, the two left the Bodhisattva temple and began to climb to the steep south top, maybe it had just rained, the mountain path was full of many purple flowers looking very beautiful, Hu Yuxuan couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take a few photos.

Walking farther and farther, Hu Yuxuan felt tired after walking for a while, Yang Yu had to carry him on his back and walked towards the top of the mountain, walking in the deep folds of the mountain's knife and axe, Yang Yu deeply felt the wild character of the mountain's bohemianism, and the withered yellow grass along the way completely revealed the autumn sorrow.

As Yang Yu kept jumping between the steep rocks, he soon reached the top of the mountain again, he felt that he had the easiest time waiting for the south this time, Yang Yu found that the road he had walked before was now so insignificant.

In front of the rusty incense burner in the Nanshan Temple, a woman with yellow curly hair, slender calves rounded and wrapped in black stockings, red lips, and a beautiful appearance holding three pillars of incense to worship piously appeared in Yang Yu's field of vision.

Yang Yu couldn't help but recall the night when the heavy rain was going to flood the entire city, the night when he and the woman in front of him lingered in the hotel.

Li Mengqi looked at Yang Yu, who was now more handsome than before, and she inserted the three yellow incense sticks in her hand into the incense burner and said to Yang Yu: "You're back!"

Yang Yu smacked his lips and said, "Well, I'll come back to see my wife, how are you doing lately?"

Li Mengqi glanced at Yang Yu with a bitter expression and said with a smile: "Where is it good to be alone!"

Hu Yuxuan on the side heard her feelings for Yang Yu from Li Mengqi's words, but Hu Yuxuan didn't say anything and still pretended to be very indifferent.

Yang Yu frowned slightly and said, "Then Li Mengqi, how is your mother's illness?" ”

Li Mengqi's expression became a little sad and said: "My mother has just been buried, my father is still addicted to gambling as much as he is, there is nothing worth my nostalgia in this Xiwa village, I am ready to leave here in the near future and never come back, I am deeply tired of this place." ”

Yang Yu bowed his head and said to Hu Yuxuan: "I want to say a few words to Li Mengqi alone, and you are waiting for me in the same place." ”

Saying that, Yang Yu pulled Li Mengqi towards a barren mountain in the distance, and after walking away, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Mengqi and said: "This card should be repaid 290,000 yuan, you take this money to the city to do a little business, promise me not to go to that old road again, I still have the same old saying, no matter what situation a person is in, the heart can't fall, the password of the card is 375200." ”

Li Mengqi didn't pick up the card in Yang Yu's hand and said in a deep voice: "Yang Yu, you are a good person, I really thank you, if it weren't for the 30,000 yuan you gave me, my wife wouldn't have been able to bury me in a beautiful way, but I really can't take your money anymore, I owe you enough." ”

Yang Yu stuffed the card into Li Mengqi's hand and said: "You can take this money, it is really difficult to have no money in this society, even if I borrow this money, if you meet someone who is really good to you in the future, you can marry him, don't wander around outside for an ordinary life." ”

Li Mengqi burst into tears when she heard Yang Yu's words, she hugged Yang Yu and said, "Yang Yu, I really have to leave this time, maybe we will never meet again in this life, can you promise me not to forget me!"

"Ever since that time when we sat together on a high valley and watched the moon, your figure has grown in my heart, and your appearance will not be forgotten by me with the passage of time. Yang Yu said seriously.

Li Mengqi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and she pushed Yang Yu away and ran away into the distance.

Yang Yu lit a cigarette and took a puff and walked towards Hu Yuxuan, at this time she was sitting on the steps of the temple with her heart, Yang Yu squatted on the ground and dragged Hu Yuxuan's face with her hand and said: "Yuxuan Li Mengqi is a hard-working person, I just want to help her, you have to believe me." ”

Hu Yuxuan hugged his head and said with a pitiful expression: "You give me a cigarette, I want to smoke a cigarette!"

Yang Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on Hu Yuxuan's pink mouth, he took out a lighter for the blonde and blue-eyed beauty to light it for Hu Yuxuan, Hu Yuxuan took a big puff and coughed and said: "Although I will try my best to restrain my emotions, I will still feel very uncomfortable when I see you with other women!"

Yang Yu didn't speak, he stood up and looked at the rows of houses at the bottom of the mountain, a road stretching infinitely in the distance, and the curling smoke of the villagers starting to cook lunch, he took a deep breath and looked a little melancholy.

Hu Yuxuan took a small sip of the whole cigarette, she stood up from the steps of the temple and slowly walked to Yang Yu's side and said, "Yang Yu, I'm hungry, I think we should go back, the wind on the top of the mountain here is too strong, and the scenery is too desolate, it's really nothing to see." ”

Yang Yu flicked the white cigarette butt between his fingers and said: "People who have never cried for a long night are not enough to talk about life, let's go, maybe I shouldn't take you here to revisit." ”
