Chapter Twenty-Four: Affection
CD is more than 20 kilometers east, and there is a mountain range, which is the Longquan Mountain Range.
The Longquan Mountains are in a north-south direction, starting from A County in the north, passing through Mianyang, Deyang, Zhongjiang, Guanghan, Jintang, LQZ District, Shuangliu, Jianyang, Renshou, and ending at LS City in the south, the whole mountain range is narrow and long.
The Longquan Mountains are called Longquan Mountains in the CD territory, and they are also the highest peaks of the Longquan Mountains, and the Longquan Mountains are also named after them. Shijing Temple is hidden in Longquan Mountain, according to the mountain trend, pine forest verdant, large scale. After generations of changes, it now covers an area of more than 200 acres. The building sits west to east, and rises from east to west in accordance with the mountain.
Xiao Na and Lu Hua set off from the hotel at 9 o'clock, and arrived at the LQZ area half an hour later and began to go up the mountain, the mountain road is winding, and the road is getting narrower and narrower. Lu Hua couldn't help but start to get nervous, he was not suitable for driving this kind of mountain road, "It won't be like the last time I went to Jiuzhaigou, right?" "He only needs a flash of thought to have lingering palpitations.
"This mountain is not high, it will take twenty minutes at most, you can just slow down."
"It's already slow, less than thirty kilometers."
"Look at your unpromising appearance, you don't look like a man at all?"
"It's because I'm a man that I'm responsible for you, and I have to send you back safely."
"Okay, good, drive seriously."
The two stopped talking, Lu Hua was engrossed, his eyes were fixed on the front, his hands were on the steering wheel, and his body was slightly stiff due to tension. The car slowly crawled upward, Xiao Na reminded him to pay attention to curves at any time, curves, be sure to honk, never occupy the road, this is what Xiao Songqian advised.
Xiao Na has a keen sense of smell, and from a distance, she can smell the thick smoke of the incense wax, "It's almost there, there are two minutes at most." Sure enough, I turned right and leaned out of the front of the car, and suddenly there was a small temporary stall on the left selling incense wax paper money.
On the right is the Stone Scripture Temple.
Lu Hua found a place to park and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. After going up the mountain, he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to say a word to Xiao Na. When he got out of the car, he couldn't move, one leg was numb, and he could only drag slowly.
Xiao Na, who was walking in front, stopped, looked back and saw Lu Hua's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing.
The mountains are densely wooded, cool and quiet, shrouded in mist.
The temple is quiet and pleasant, surrounded by fragrant mist.
In the incense tripod in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, a middle-aged man who looks like a husband and wife is incense, looking like they are in their forties. Take the incense, light it, plug it in, put it together, bow slightly, and the whole process is careful, without squinting, and with the concentration and piety of no one else.
There are only four people here.
Xiao Na and Lu Hua stood two meters away, watching silently.
A tall podocarpus stands quietly, vigorous and verdant. Pillars of burnt wax and white smoke swirled, rising, and gradually spreading out, enveloping the huge podocarpus.
Incense can be psychic------
After the incense was finished, the middle-aged couple took two steps back, turned around, smiled at Xiao Na and Lu Hua, and then walked to the stone stairs, holding hands and going up, walking slowly and steadily.
Xiao Na looked at the backs of the two and thought, these two should be very affectionate, are they making a wish or a wish? When I turned around, I saw that Lu Hua was also looking at her intently in a daze, "What do you think?" ”
"What are you thinking?"
"Just these two people." Xiao Na's eyes focused on the two couples who were halfway up the stairs.
"They have a lot on their minds."
"Perhaps, the people who come here will not be pure play, they will have a wish."
Xiao Na began to fetch incense, and she also wanted to make a wish, "What about you?" Are you coming? ”
Lu Hua didn't speak, he came to Xiao Na's side and followed to get incense. The two of them, like the couple just now, silently, attentively and reverently lit incense, plugged it in, folded their hands, and bowed slightly.
Then they retreated from the smoke, stood still, looked at each other, and wondered, what did you wish?
"Have you prayed for your grandmother?"
"I hope her old man is okay over there, and she can bless me safely." Lu Hua was slightly sad, and his expression darkened for a while, and then he looked at Xiao Na and said, "What about you?" ”
"If you can't say it, if you say it, it won't work." Xiao Na stood with her hands behind her back, her legs crossed, and the jeans she wore today had beautiful curves.
Lu Hua turned around and walked towards the stairs, the couple had already disappeared, but they should be in a hall in front of them. Xiao Na followed, and the two began to stand side by side, "This podocarpus has been around for more than a thousand years. ”
"So old?"
"There are two ginkgo trees, which are older than that!"
"In our hometown, there is no such temple."
"This temple has been around for almost two thousand years, it used to be a eunuch's, and behind it is Zhao Yun's mansion, which is the Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms."
"How do you know? Few girls like history. ”
"I did a little homework last night, I'm a landlord, I can't know nothing, that's a shame for the CD people."
"You're from ZJ?"
"But now I'm an SC guy! CD is a place where you dig in the backyard to grow vegetables, and you can dig up a piece of history with a hoe. ”
------
The two of them walked up and into the main hall as they spoke.
On the side of the door, a monk in his fifties was dressed in a long robe, his eyes were slightly closed, he was doing something with one hand, and the other hand was rhythmically knocking on the wooden fish, his hands were bulging, and his mouth was reciting scriptures that he couldn't understand.
When the two of them entered, his eyes only opened a slit slightly, and then closed slightly, ignoring them, still thinking to himself.
He ------ in his world------
Dust to dust, soil to earth, where you come from, go back, all things return to their origins.
A statue of gods with different shapes, different expressions, and vivid looks spread out around the main hall, who are the names of these statues, and what kind of work they are in charge of, Xiao Na does not understand, and Lu Hua does not understand. Except for the exquisite skills of the craftsmen, the other connotations and meanings are unknown to the two of them. At this moment they were standing inside the door of the main hall, but this still did not hide the ignorance of their laymen.
Xiao Na said in her heart, all the great gods, please forgive the little woman's poverty and ignorance, please bless me and my loved ones with peace and happiness, I have just burned incense for you, and I have also paid tribute, and my heart is full of sincerity without a trace of impurities------
Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na and was thinking, what was she thinking? A pious look!
Go out, and then silently go up, ladder by ladder, layer by layer.
The Heavenly King Palace, the Pack Palace, and the Three Temples------
When she walked out of the Three Temples and continued up the stairs, Xiao Na stopped, she crossed her waist with one hand and bent slightly, "There are so many great gods here, why don't they live in a collective dormitory?" We got it right the first time. ”
"Be careful, don't be here to the gods, they're looking at us!" Lu Hua, who was walking two meters in front, stopped, turned around and made a gesture to shut up, "Immortals all have identities, they all live on a hill and build a villa by themselves, and they only gather once in an occasional meeting, so they are not corrupt------."
"One person, one building? Then this mountain is not called Longquan Mountain, but directly renamed Wanshen Mountain. ”
Xiao Na's breathing began to be a little rapid, her legs couldn't use their strength, she hadn't climbed a mountain like this for a long time, and this sudden change in rhythm made her body not able to adapt to it.
Lu Hua in front stretched out his hand and waited------
Xiao Na hesitated for a few seconds, and the thought flashed quickly in her mind, the test that Yanzi said! Test! Test------
The picture is finally frozen in two frames.
I just made a wish, God, bless the one I love and he loves me as I love him, and bless me and my loved ones to be safe and happy! The middle-aged couple who were holding hands just now had a calm and peaceful face.
Xiao Na's face was calm and natural, she slowly took a few steps forward, grabbed the hand that was waiting for her, and the warmth on that hand was suddenly transmitted, and in the thick autumn of the deep mountains in November, it slowly warmed her whole body.
This deceptively simple two-step took less than three seconds. But for these three seconds, she has been walking for twenty-one years, and countless long nights of girls are looking forward to it------
The moment the two hands shook each other, Lu Hua never wanted to let go. With a slight force, he brought Xiao Na up, and the two of them continued to go up and up the stairs side by side.
Xiao Na pretended to be natural, and her heart went from unnatural to natural, which took a while, and she began to find a topic, "In the Ming Dynasty, this place was called Tiancheng Temple, and many halls were built at that time, because there was a monk who made this temple famous all over the world. Later, it was later changed to the current name ------, the Qianlong period, as if it was because he got a stone-carved Diamond Sutra. ”
"You've done a lot of homework, huh? Good student! Lu Hua's current mind is actually not in Xiao Na's allusions, his mind is completely used in perception, he is feeling Xiao Na's entire body and mind through this hand.
"Of course, I've always been a good student." Xiao Na tilted her head slightly and looked at Lu Hua with a sweet smile.
The sunlight passed through the half-hidden clouds, and the light suddenly covered half of the mountainside, seeped through the woods, and sprinkled on several large halls scattered in a scattered manner, and the whole Shijing Temple suddenly became brilliant and full of light. The ethereal smoke clouds surround and flow slowly, and the picture is like being in a fairyland, and the enthusiasm is ready to fly. There was light falling on Xiao Na's body, the long wavy hair that was scattered over her shoulders, her fair and delicate face, her slightly red cheeks at the moment, and her fluent dark eyes------
What a beautiful and heartwarming picture!
Lu Hua was drunk------
How I hope this moment can stay here for a long time, but unfortunately Xiao Song is not here, and not even a photo can be frozen.
A young monk came in a hurry from the mountain, and suddenly stood beside the two of them, the path was too narrow to pass.
Xiao Na and Lu Hua, who were completely immersed in the beautiful scenery of the mid-mountain, did not notice the young monk standing three meters away.
"Good morning, Amitabha------, two donors!" The monk did it with one hand, his head slightly lowered, and his thick eyebrows lowered.
The two of them were shocked and immediately stood sideways on the side of the road, giving way to half of the road.
When passing by the two of them, the monk smiled faintly at the two of them, and then took three steps and made two steps, walking lightly, drifting down the mountain, one sleeve of his coat, flying lightly------, disappearing around the corner.
Xiao Na looked at the flying sleeve and was surprised, "He only has one hand?" ”
"Maybe it's just coming out of a martial arts novel." Lu Hua said.
"Why are you still kidding? No sympathy at all! ”
"People with independent personalities don't need empathy, they need respect." Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na and said seriously, "I respect this kind of person very much. ”
Xiao Na didn't speak, she thought that Lu Hua's words might be right.
Twenty meters ahead, there is a bench.
The two sat side by side and continued to quietly watch the golden sunlight slowly moving halfway up the mountain.
Xiao Na opened the map of the scenic spot she had just bought at the door and ticked it one by one with her fingers.
Also, Kunling Palace, Patriarch Palace, Abbot's Courtyard, Master Palace, Tibetan Scripture Building, Wuguan Hall------
"We'll have to be at least twelve o'clock!"
"Don't rush, take your time, I have time today."
"What about the new store opening the day after tomorrow?" Xiao Na still has a little concern, now everyone is busy, but she herself is here in an elegant and leisurely manner.
"Didn't Tian Tian and the others pass today, so many people still can't handle it?"
"I'm still, a little ------"
"Even if there is a miss, isn't there still a day tomorrow, let's go back in the afternoon and take a look." Lu Hua said comfortingly.
"I'm hungry."
"And what's for lunch?"
"Fasting."
"Rice?"
"Yes, the supporting services provided by the temple." Xiao Na looked at Lu Huayan and smiled, then got up, "Let's go, let's continue." ”
The two held hands and slowly ascended the stone steps.
The sunlight had been obscured by the clouds and disappeared, and even a reddish light could not be found, and the sky was once again dark and gloomy. In just ten minutes, the dazzling golden light became a beautiful memory in an instant.
Tofu, bok choy, radish, peanuts, sweet potato, corn on the cob, steamed buns, millet porridge.
This is the midday meal, simple, but delicious.
Shawna was exhausted, she hadn't been so tired in a long time, and her legs were weak when she came down. She needs to be sedentary and needs energy. So she ate a lot, more than Lu Hua, when Lu Hua had already put down her chopsticks and began to look at her very quietly, she still ate the corn cob without hesitation, it was too sweet.
The dining room is quite simple, with two wings on one side of the temple, opened in the middle, with four long wooden tables and benches. There are not many pilgrims who eat fasting here, and most of them want to replenish their energy in the restaurant outside after experiencing this drop of nearly a thousand meters, and they can't accept the coarse tea and light rice in the temple.
Now, it's just the two of them in the restaurant.
The middle-aged couple who just came in, they never met again. Maybe it wasn't for the weekend, but when they went down, they didn't see a total of ten people going up the mountain.
Many halls are distributed with several incense tripods, each incense tripod is inserted with dense incense wax, some are burned to ashes, some are half incomplete, more is a little scarlet, brisk white filaments, ethereal upwards, crossing, clouds around the smoke into smoke, permeated the whole temple, accompanied by a strong smell of incense wax.
The temple is quiet, tranquil and peaceful------
The sound of the bell rises from the top of the temple and slowly disperses in all directions, echoing melodiously------
There is no time in the mountains, and time is slow------
But now it's two o'clock.
Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na as if nothing was there.
He was waiting for Xiao Na to put down his chopsticks, and then listened to him quietly.
At this time, in this place, in such an atmosphere, he thought he should say something.
Xiao Na finally put down the small amount of corn on the cob left in her hand and said that she was finally full, this meal was really delicious, and she must come again next time she found time. Look at how quiet it is here, not only to wash the lungs but also to wash the heart. The city is just too noisy, except for the people and people. After speaking, he crossed his hands on his head, leaned back, and stretched his body a little stiff.
Lu Hua's eyes involuntarily fell on Xiao Na's unusually tall chest because of this------
How so? He withdrew his gaze and scolded himself secretly, this is ------
Lu Hua got up, went out and turned right to find the monk who ordered food for them just now, and politely asked him to tidy up the table, and then he asked for a pot of tea and a pot of Buddha tea.
This young monk's movements are very sharp.
In less than two minutes, the table was shining. A pot of hot tea, two teacups steaming hot on the table. In the teapot, the tea leaves that were originally supported by the bottom were soaked at high temperatures, and the body began to stretch, rotate, slowly rise, and then sink.
Lu Hua looked intently at the tea leaves in the kettle that were slowly turning up and down------
He couldn't help but sigh at this Chinese-style tea life, you can go up and rejoice in order to show a small head; You can also come down and stay in a corner of the bottom of the pot and watch the leaves struggling to rise.
Who doesn't have such ups and downs in their life?
He thinks of his childhood, his grandmother, his studies, and his business in the past few years, a lot.
He decided to talk about it, so that Xiao Na could know more about herself and be familiar with herself.
"Xiao Na------" Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na and snorted softly.
Xiao Na was looking at a pair of young men and women who were incense ten meters away. The man and woman were about the same age as herself, and she couldn't help but think of the middle-aged couple in the morning.
Lu Hua's soft call made her turn her head.
"Sister Fang told you about me, right?" Lu Hua didn't confirm it, and asked tentatively.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Na is a habitual rhetorical question. She knew in her heart what Lu Hua wanted to say, but she had to wait for him to say it himself. She stretched out her right hand, opened her fingers, and slowly picked up the teacup with her slender fingers, scalded the water, took a sip gently, and then carefully put it down.
"Didn't she tell you the purpose of my CD trip?"
"Isn't it a business connection between Y&D?" Xiao Na said deliberately.
"That's not the main thing, I ------"
Lu Hua hesitated, but Xiao Na just looked at him, still smiling and silent.
"I ------ I like you ------!" Lu Hua was very nervous, and his face was slightly red.
Xiao Na turned her head out again, her heart fluttering. She finally waited until Lu Hua said this sentence herself, not someone else's third-party relay.
"I came here mainly to pursue you------" Lu Hua blurted out. I thought that I had already said it anyway, so I would just have fun to the end.
Xiao Na still looked outside, still not speaking.
Lu Hua became nervous again, this Xiao Na who did not speak made him feel a little panic and uneasiness, because he didn't know her thoughts, he couldn't see her face facing sideways, he didn't know any of the slightest change in her expression------
"Can you say something?"
Xiao Na turned around and looked at Lu Hua with a calm expression, "Sister Fang told me, but I really, I don't know your ------."
"Only when we get along with each other can we get to know each other better!"
"I'm on CD, you're ------ in Guangzhou"
"I come over every month------" Lu Hua said eagerly, as long as Xiao Na is willing, anything can be discussed.
Xiao Na sighed lightly and said, "The two of us are different, unlike my brother and Yanzi, they have known each other since childhood, and the two families are also very close. But we, we don't know anything? We ------ are two ------ strangers! This is her biggest concern now, love is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families, which is related to many people. She can't just be in love, but she doesn't know anything about Lu Hua's family, even Zhang Jun, who has been friends with him for a few years, she can't have no concerns.
Lu Hua thought to herself, Xiao Na was so worried, her own family?
"I'm from Ningbo, you know, when I was very young, maybe five years old, my parents started business. ZJ people like to do business, so they scraped together a sum of money, left me at my grandmother's house, and then started running around. At that time, the only way to communicate was to write letters or ask villagers to carry oral messages, but my grandmother didn't know how to read, so we could only know where my parents were and what they were doing when someone came back for the Spring Festival. Sometimes they come back with a little money, sometimes they just have a message, and sometimes they don't even hear from them. When there is no news, my grandmother will often wipe her tears secretly------"
Lu Hua paused for a moment and continued.
"Then I started going to school and was able to read and write. My father started writing letters to my grandmother, and then I read them to my grandmother, and hearing from my parents was the happiest and the happiest when she smiled. ”
Thinking of her grandmother, it was difficult for Lu Hua to control her emotions, and tears immediately rolled in her eyes.
He stopped, unable to continue------
Xiao Na took out a tissue from her bag and silently handed it to Lu Hua's hand. She couldn't feel the feeling of not being accompanied by her parents, because her parents had always been by their side, taking care of the three siblings growing up. Now it seems that I was so happy.
"My grandmother didn't go to school, but she was a very strong woman, she had a lot of the qualities of a traditional Chinese woman, she loved me and took care of me until I went to college at BJ. I just left her. ”
"In the four years of college, I studied broadcasting and hosting, and after graduation, I was assigned to the city radio station and worked as a news program for several years. Later, for many reasons, I couldn't understand it for a while, so I started doing my current job. ”
Lu Hua thought about it before he came, and this reason can't be explained now, and it's not the right time, so let's talk about it later.
"What about your parents?" Xiao Na asked, she was concerned about the issue.
"When I was a freshman in high school, they went back to Ningbo and built a small factory in Ningbo. It was at that time that my grandmother and I began to live with our parents. ”
"Do you hate them?"
"Hate? Why hate? ”
"Because they put you at Grandma's, and you don't feel abandoned?"
"How can it be, my parents are also very hard, especially in the past few years, they have also suffered a lot, and they have been deceived, and they have experienced the days of having a meal without a meal, and they still rely on friends to help them survive. They are more bitter than me, and they can't tell me and my grandmother, for fear that my grandmother will worry, so they bring back all the good and obedient words. Also, my grandmother has always taken good care of me, at least I don't lack a lot of food and clothing, and I am so tall and strong. Besides, my parents are doing this for the sake of a good life for this family, why should I hate it? ”
Xiao Na thought, it turned out that she was narrow-minded, "Now, how are they?" ”
"Well, I think they're all good. My dad wasn't in good health, so my mom didn't do much work and took care of my dad at home. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you back to see them, and they will definitely be happy. ”
"Who said I was going back with you?" Xiao Najiao glanced at Lu Hua with disgust.
"I hope that I can do more and take on more responsibilities, so that they can enjoy their old age earlier and don't have to worry about me."
"They didn't urge you to get married or anything, Sister Fang said you were twenty-eight years old."
"How can you not urge, parents are the same all over the world. But it's really not easy to meet someone you like and your parents are satisfied with! Lu Hua wondered if Xiao Na was investigating her emotional experience, looking at how tactful he said, he was urging marriage and was twenty-eight years old. Otherwise, it's better to take the initiative to recruit yourself, save trouble, "I had a relationship when I was on the radio, I was a colleague in the station, and I hosted an entertainment program. In the past few years, I have been forced to go on a blind date! ”
"Blind date? I've also been on a blind date twice, both of which were arranged by my parents' colleagues. Xiao Na smiled knowingly, and now Lu Hua has at least a general outline.
"Xiao Na, be my girlfriend------"
"Not yet-----,
Xiao Na thought to herself, it's great. But when I thought of Yanzi and Liang Xiaofang's reminder, it was still a sigh, and I had to observe and observe again, if Lu Hua could stand the test of tossing, it would not be too late. Didn't the ancients say that good things are not afraid of being late, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
"Why?" Lu Hua was very disappointed.
"The relationship between time and space, we don't know enough about it. The total meeting time is only more than ten days, right? ”
"Well, that's ------ but I liked you the first time I saw you!" Lu Hua is like a kite with a suddenly broken string, fluttering in the air without direction.
"I never believed in love at first sight, it comes and goes. But we can spend a little more time together, get to know each other better, and then look at how both of us feel, and then decide in what capacity we want to get along. You tell me? ”
Xiao Na thinks that this is the best and most suitable solution for herself now, it will not affect her feelings, if it is good, she will go further, and if it is not good, she will take a step back. It will not affect the company's business development, after all, business is a mutual profit, but without Lu Hua's help, the development of the telephone business will be much more difficult and the progress will be slow. But after all, he didn't block the road, if Lu Hua really loves her, he will only work harder and be more kind to her, if he retreats because of a refusal, then this man is not worth cherishing. What's more, I didn't completely refuse now, but just slowly and then understand more.
Lu Hua only swayed for a few seconds before he calmed down, and he was still thinking about how to deal with the current situation. A sane person should know when to move forward and retreat, and not go on a rampage regardless of the status quo because of his own feelings. He's not that kind of person! Besides, Xiao Na didn't refuse, she just asked to get along for a while longer, and then talked, there's nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, I accept the organization's arrangement and the organization's inspection."
"Stop being humorous." Xiao Na thought for a while and then looked at Lu Hua seriously, "I also have a good impression of you, and I don't reject you in my heart." If you really love me, really be nice to me. I will, I will love your ------"
Lu Hua was instantly moved. He really loves this woman, this is not a simple love at first sight, the laughter and laughter of Jiuzhaigou, the bitter lovesickness and silent waiting every night after parting, for the ups and downs of this meeting.
He just loves this woman unconditionally.
"Do you know why I brought you here today?" Xiao Na asked.
Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na blankly, he didn't know. But I thought to myself, maybe Xiao Na is right, they need to cultivate at least a little bit, tacit understanding! But this thing really needs time.
"I hope you can remember what you said today in front of the idol, that the gods here are everywhere."
Lu Hua looked at Xiao Na, who was chuckling, and nodded resolutely.
Xiao Na lifted the teapot, filled the two cups, then picked up her own teacup and took a few sips, "You drink it too, we have to go." ”
"Let's go? It's gone, it's only past three o'clock! ”
Lu Hua picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Xiao Na got up, and then pulled Lu Hua up, "Let's go, what else is there to do?" If we don't go back, my brother will worry about us. ”
Lu Hua thought to herself, it's her brother again! This Xiao Song, a god-like existence! It seems that he is not so easy to pass, and it is still a long and long way to make Xiao Song feel at ease to hand over Xiao Na to himself.
Guangzhou to CD, it's not just going to be an easy trip.
