Chapter 143: City God Temple

June 14 is Sunday, the bottom is for relaxation, on this day all students who are going to take the exam do not have to go to school to make up classes, even the sky is beautiful, the blue sky in the morning makes people feel unreal.

"Big brother, you want to hang out alone again." As soon as Lin Mo pushed the bicycle, she was stopped by Lin Lei, and she pouted and insisted on going along.

"Dad, look at the eldest brother, he doesn't take us out to play!" The little guy felt that the success rate of adding a backer was even higher, so he called Lin Dezhong loudly.

Lin Dezhong couldn't hold the newspaper in the living room, so he walked into the yard with a straight face.

Today, Ma Xiulai combed Lin Lei with two ponytails, and looked very cute with a swaying back of her head, as soon as Lin Dezhong saw such a daughter, he immediately broke his work.

"Lei Lei, your eldest brother is about to take the exam, today he went out with his classmates to relax, let's go next time, ah? The next time your eldest brother dares not to take you there, Dad will whip him with a thick bamboo stick! ”

Lin Dezhong's appearance of a twenty-four filial father made Lin Mo cry and laugh, and he felt that his status in the family had fallen to a situation where he was only slightly higher than Ichiro.

"Woo..."Said Ichiro, Ichiro arrived, it seemed that Ichiro also wanted to go out for a ride, it wrapped its two claws around Lin Mo's ankles, its head rubbed against his trouser legs, and the begging in his eyes even Lin Mo could see it.

"Dad, why don't you take the whole family out for a ride?" Lin Mo looked at the fact that he even wanted to go out of the family's dog, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

"The weather is so good today, I was just about to talk to your dad." Ma Xiulai had already cleaned up, and she pulled Ichiro from Lin Mo's feet, completely ignoring its resentment.

"Shall I call a taxi then?" The whole family was waiting for Lin Dezhong's decision, Lin Rui finally made a move, he pulled Lin Dezhong's sleeve and flicked it and began to sell cute.

"Okay! We're going to hang out! With Lin Dezhong's nod, Lin Lei let go of Lin Mo's hand and ran to Lin Dezhong's side.

"Little girl who doesn't stand firm!" Lin Mo stupidly went to the living room to make a phone call and asked Zheng Rong to drive over.

When Lin Mo went out, don't say it's Lin Lei, even Ichiro disdains him, it is following Lin Lei behind him at this time, watching the little master pack up the food.

"There is no fragrance of flowers, no tree height, I am a little grass that no one knows..."Lin Mo sang miserably and "little grass" out of the compound.

On Sunday, Congjiang City is like a lazy woman, there are few pedestrians on the street, and it is rare to have a rest day, and adults and children want to sleep at home.

When Lin Mo arrived at the scheduled meeting point, Yuan Ze was already impatient, and today he was able to get out of the house with the reason that he came out to relax before the examination with Lin Mo.

"You're alone, what about the others?" Yesterday there were also Bao Jixiang and Wang Yan, there was no Wang Yan, but Lin Mo thought that the school doctor Hu Xiaolian said that she was a little too nervous, so he invited her temporarily.

"Whoa!" With Yuan Ze's chin in the direction, Wang Yan ran over panting, today she was wearing a shirt on her upper body, a sky blue skirt on her lower body, and a pair of sandals on her feet, and the whole person looked refreshing.

"Why are you all here so early? It's not even nine o'clock yet! Wang Yan looked at the electronic watch on her wrist, trying to calm her breathing, just now she thought she was late, but she didn't expect it to be five minutes away!

Electronic watches are now a bit proliferated, and there are all kinds of electronic watches on the street stalls, which are divided into men and women, and the men's ones are more lenient, and most of them are black. The electronic watch on Wang Yan's wrist is a standard women's, pink, and very small, looking at the three small buttons on the side, you know that it is with an alarm clock function, but this function is a bit chicken, not to mention the small voice, and it is not always effective.

When Bao arrived, three bicycles were lined up at the top of the slope, and below was a ramp of about 300 meters, with the steepest point at 40 degrees.

"Sit tight!" Wang Yan sat on Lin Mo's bicycle as a matter of course, and she was also a little nervous at this time, and her hands tightly grasped Lin Mo's clothes.

"I'm going to shout one, two, three!" At this time, there was almost no one on the ramp, it was a good time for drag racing, Yuan Ze's eyes showed a hint of caution, his left foot was on the ground, his right foot was on the pedal, and the whole person was ready to go.

"I. "

"Wait." Bao Jixiang suddenly discovered a problem, he pointed at Lin Mo and said: "Lin Mo and Wang Yan have a combined inertia greater than ours, this is not fair!" ”

Lin Mo didn't pay attention to Bao Jixiang at all, he just watched Yuan Ze's actions.

"Ready."

"One, two, three!"

The three bicycles rushed down almost at the same time, and after a few seconds, they began to divide the order, Lin Mo was in front, Yuan Ze was second, and Bao Jixiang, who complained, was pulled down by as much as ten meters.

"Hold on, I'm going to speed up!" Lin Mo's words reached Wang Yan's ears along the wind that wiped her ears, and she didn't care about being shy at this time, her hands tightly wrapped around Lin Mo's waist, and leaned her face on his back.

The wind was howling, the adrenaline was rushing, the bicycle was rushing down in Wang Yan's screams, Lin Mo rushed to the bridgehead by inertia, and Yuan Ze and Bao Jixiang also arrived later.

"I'll just say that Lin Mo will take advantage! Look, how far ahead of the two of us? Bao Jixiang's face was red, probably also stimulated.

"What about flat ground?" Lin Mo's words made Bao Jixiang shut up, riding a bicycle with someone is not a good errand, even if it is a woman sitting behind.

The City God Temple in Louchu District has a long history and has been preserved after several disasters in history, but unfortunately no one managed it during that time, so it is inevitable that it will be somewhat dilapidated.

Stepping over the threshold of the gate, Lin Mo stepped into it first.

As soon as you enter the door, there is the front hall, which occupies a large area, and there are two incense burners in the middle, one high and one low, with a few pillars of incense inserted in it, and the green smoke adds a bit of solemnity.

The doors of the north and south wings were closed, so Lin Mo and a few people walked up the stairs, and the first thing that caught their eyes was those top beams and pillars, there were two people surrounding the size, Lin Mo didn't know what kind of wood it was, but it wouldn't be too ordinary!

The four big characters on the main hall are shining with golden light, and the city god below is sitting awe-inspiringly, and the ghosts on the left and right have hideous faces, which makes people look at it with fear.

The incense in the Chenghuang Temple is sparse, according to the old man who guards the temple, this is still the high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination is only some people, usually some old men and old ladies come to incense, but they have no oil and water!

"Didn't make a head!" The old man looked at the three young people who looked like junior high school students and shook his head, forgetting to close the merit book he had opened.

Lin Mo took a look at it, it was basically a donation of a few cents, and one yuan was purely rare.

They are all young people in the new era, Yuan Ze and none of them will go up and bow down, or Lin Mo opened his mouth to relieve the siege and said: "The high school entrance examination is coming soon, let's take a few pillars of incense!" If you don't ask for anything else, you want peace of mind. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Mo twisted up three sticks of incense, tapped on the candle, he leaned down with the incense in his hand, and after three bows, he inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then motioned for others to follow.

While waiting for them to offer incense, Lin Mo looked at the Chenghuang Ye above, the bizarre experience that he couldn't say could be described as mysterious, and he who didn't believe in these things much in his previous life now has some awe.

The City God looked majestic against the red curtain behind him, Lin Mo raised his head and met the eyes of the clay sculpture, trying to find his ins and outs from there, but unfortunately the City God who claimed to be responsive did not have a trace of reaction.

After the incense, Lin Mo asked everyone to donate one yuan, and then refused to leave their names in the merit book, and walked to the apse to see the stone stele.

The City God Temple in Louchu District was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it originally occupied a large area, but unfortunately most of them were eroded later, and finally only the current Sanjin courtyard remained, if you look at it from a distance, it is like an ordinary courtyard.

There are stone carvings in the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, those mottled traces tell the long past, the bluestone slabs under the feet are ground like terrazzo, and the believers for hundreds of years have made the incense here prosperous.

Walking out of the City God Temple, everyone was a little inexplicably relaxed, I don't know if it was the psychological effect or the City God's discernment, even Wang Yan showed a long-lost splendor.

There was hardly a car to be seen on the street, so three bicycles rode side by side on the side of the road, and from time to time you pushed me, I pushed you, and the laughter of youth rippled by the river.

"Let's go, let's have a cold drink!" Seeing that there were a few Western restaurants and cold drink restaurants by the river, Bao Jixiang licked his upper lip and his mouth was dry.

Bao Jixiang's proposal was approved by everyone, and the four of them pushed me into the cold drink shop.

There are a few paintings hanging in the cold drink shop, and the decoration color is also bright, which makes people feel cool as soon as they come in.

Under the price list, several heads are brought together, and fingers are swiped from top to bottom.

"I want patchouli juice."

"I want pineapple."

……

There are several plastic tables and chairs outside the cold drink shop, and a large parasol is propped up on them, and you can see the murmuring river up close, and you can see the green mountains faintly in the distance, so you can feel the heat disappear when you sit down.

Lin Mo drank the iced malt milk essence that they laughed at, smelling the cool breeze blowing from the river, and fluttering a little dusty.

"Hurry up, my mouth is smoking!"

After the sound of bicycle brakes, several people walked behind them, sweating profusely, and occupied two tables at once.

"Lin Mo!" There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Qu... Qu Donghua? Lin Mo was a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet a classmate from elementary school here, and he was a classmate with a good relationship.

Qu Donghua's current image is very different from when he was in elementary school, his basketball shorts make him look energetic, he looked at Lin Mo grinning, and the sweat on his face ran down his jaw.
