Next chapter
The two bought tickets, bought a map with the stall at the door, and started climbing. The view from the mountains is very pleasant, it is the end of summer, and the sun is no longer so poisonous. The mountain air is a little humid, but it is very fresh, and people can't help but enjoy this natural oxygen bar and detoxify their heart and lungs. But at this moment, Xiao Ying didn't have this thought, he studied the map while walking, because the cliff side was more dangerous, and the position 100 meters away from the cliff was blocked by a fence, afraid that tourists would be in danger when they approached. Therefore, there will naturally be no markings on the map.
When the taxi driver saw Xiao Ying's frowning, he knew that he had not found the location of the cliff on the map.
"I think it's on the west side of the mountain, you see what the west side of the map is!"
The taxi driver said.
When Xiao Ying heard him say this, he looked along the west side of the map, the map showed that there was a temple on the west side, and the back of the temple seemed to be a mountain peak, but the name of this mountain peak was not marked in detail, was it there?
The two looked at each other and smiled, and together they walked westward. Half an hour later, the two came to the temple gate. However, there is no way to go around the temple and go directly to the back of the temple. It seems that you can only go through the temple to see if there is a back door.
Entering the temple, it is a magnificent Buddha hall, and there is a Maitreya Buddha sitting in the center of the Buddha hall, with a kind expression. Xiao Ying thought of the two Jizo King Bodhisattvas he had enshrined in the temple, and thought that when Ouyang Tian was cured, he would have to go to the pillar incense. Xiao Ying raised his left leg, entered the Buddha hall, asked for three incense sticks to the next He, bowed three times in front of Maitreya Buddha, and inserted incense into the incense burner in front of the Buddha. The attitude is very religious.
"Do you believe in Buddhism? The last time I saw you, you also went to the temple to offer incense. ”
The taxi driver asked as he followed Xiao Ying.
"There is such a thing as a god, if you believe in it, you don't believe in it. It doesn't hurt to see the Buddha and bow down. ”
Xiao Ying's answer made people have no choice.
After the incense, the two continued to walk to the depths of the temple. The temple is not big, and after bypassing the two small Buddha halls, you will come to the depths of the temple. There are almost no tourists, and the courtyard is relatively deserted, with no neatly trimmed trees like the front yard. The fallen leaves on the path seem to have not been swept for many days, except for a few brooms leaning against the fence, proving that this place is usually cleaned.
Bypassing the path, Xiao Ying found the location of the back door of the temple. But it seems to be locked. Xiao Ying picked up the lock on the door with his right hand and frowned. It seems that it is a bit difficult to get out of here. Xiao Ying took a few steps back, looked up and looked around, the height of the eaves was okay, if he found a position that he could step on, he should be able to turn over.
The taxi driver saw Xiao Ying's thoughts, and began to look around for the most suitable position.
"Is it okay to look here?"
The taxi driver seemed to have found a good place and shouted Xiao Ying excitedly.
It's a place where worn-out items are piled up, and there are several wooden tables that have been worn out and very tightly dusty are thrown here, probably to be chopped for firewood. If you find two relatively sturdy tables next to each other, it should be easy to flip out on the table now. The two understood each other and immediately took action. This method worked very well, and the two of them stepped on the table and turned out of the temple smoothly. The scenery outside the wall and the inside of the wall are like two worlds, and the flat ground in front of you is overgrown with weeds, and it has grown to the height of half a person. With the back gate of the temple as the center, there is a fence about 100 meters around. The two of them walked through the weeds and came to the fence, where a warning sign stood prominently.
"There is danger ahead, tourists are not allowed to go forward!"
Seeing this warning sign, Xiao Ying was even more determined to move forward, it seemed that the cliff should be in front of him, Xiao Ying looked up and prepared to climb over the fence.
"Lao Wang, be careful! This fence has nails on it! ”
When Xiao Ying went up, his leg was cut by a nail in the fence, and he hurriedly instructed Lao Wang, the taxi driver who followed behind.
"Okay, I got it!"
Lao Wang cautiously followed Xiao Ying over the fence. After standing firm, he took something out of his bag,
"Come, Xiao Ying, hurry up and wrap up the place that was scratched just now, my band-aid has a disinfectant potion on it, and the nail just now is rusty and yellow, and it is easy to get infected if it is scratched."
As he spoke, Lao Wang leaned down and personally pasted Xiao Ying's wound. The movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting Xiao Ying. This action instantly moved Xiao Ying, as if the last time he was taken care of like this, it was when his father was alive, he fell down once, and his father scolded himself in his mouth, but he carefully bandaged himself. Lao Wang's age is almost in his forties, he must be a good man who loves his wife and loves his children.
"Can I call you Uncle Wang in the future?"
Xiao Ying saw the shadow of his late father in his previous life in Lao Wang's body, which made him feel very warm. Therefore, he unconsciously wanted to call Lao Wang "Uncle Wang". It's kinder that way.
"Okay, I can't ask for it!"
When Lao Wang heard Xiao Ying say this, he was naturally very happy, and the life-saving benefactor called him "uncle", which was very kind when he thought about it. My heart was suddenly beautiful.
"Uncle Wang, you can only see a section of the road in front of you, isn't that the cliff you said over there?"
Xiao Ying asked.
"I guess, I didn't go this way last time. I just remember that I didn't go up the mountain along the route that normal tourists walk, and as I walked, I saw a cliff in the distance, and I was still amazed that I could still see this scenery here. But it's just from afar. ”
Lao Wang recalled.
"Huh? By the way, it seems that on the top of the cliff I saw at that time, there was a temple! ”
Lao Wang suddenly remembered the picture he saw at that time, he didn't rest at that time, and now he contacts this temple, and it is really a temple.
"That's right! Let's go! ”
When Xiao Ying heard what Lao Wang said, he walked forward with confidence.
The further he went, the more clearly he could feel the whistling peaks, and Xiao Ying didn't dare to go too quickly. I am afraid that when I get to the cliff, I will slip and lose my footing and become a hatred for eternity. That's more than worth the loss.
There are much fewer weeds than under the temple walls, but there are also a lot of small plants. Xiao Ying carefully searched for the "spring round" in his impression. Its stems and leaves are shaped like ginseng, but slightly wider than those of ginseng.
"Xiao Ying, what does the medicinal herb you are looking look like, you describe it to me, and I will look for it with you!"
Lao Wang said enthusiastically. Xiao Ying and Lao Wang briefly described the appearance of the stems and leaves of "Chunyuan", and the two looked for them together. Since Lao Wang only listened to a simple description, he mostly relied on his own imagination about the appearance of this medicinal material.
"Xiao Ying, look, isn't this one?"
Lao Wang saw a broad-leaved plant on the edge of the cliff, quickly picked it up, then lifted it up, and shook it excitedly towards Xiao Ying.
Hearing Lao Wang's shout, Xiao Ying's eyes widened hopefully, and he raised his head to look at the green plants in Lao Wang's hand. It was replaced by a look of disappointment. Then he shook his head. Lao Wang angrily threw the unknown weed away and continued to look down.
Before I knew it, nearly an hour had passed, and it was still fruitless. The two of them lost confidence in looking for something, isn't there the "Spring Round" he is looking for here? In fact, "Chunyuan" is not a rare and rare medicinal material, basically as long as there is a cliff, you can find him, therefore, with Xiao Ying's understanding of it, Xiao Ying did not give up. Xiao Ying was now on the edge of the cliff, trying to stretch out his head to take a look at the bottom of the cliff, at this moment, a gust of mountain wind whistled by, Xiao Ying did not stand firmly, and leaned towards the side of the cliff. The hateful thing is that there is not even something to grab here, and in the 001 seconds that made Xiao Ying nervous and remorseful, Xiao Ying was dragged back by Lao Wang. When Xiao Ying moved to this side just now, Lao Wang noticed him, afraid that he would see the cliff too close and dangerous, so he hurriedly ran over, who would have thought that there would be a strong wind as soon as he arrived at Xiao Ying's side, Lao Wang's eyes were quick and saved Xiao Ying's life.
"Uncle Wang, thanks to you for going up the mountain with me today, otherwise I'm afraid my Xiao Ying's little life will be explained here today! This time, you're my real savior! ”
Xiao Ying still had lingering feelings about the accident that happened just now. But I still thanked Lao Wang at the first time.
"I can help you, even if I didn't accompany you in vain!"
Lao Wang's daughter is 19 years old this year, just went to college, and is not a few years younger than Xiao Ying, originally he regarded Xiao Ying as a benefactor, but the moment Xiao Ying saw him "Uncle Wang" just now, he regarded Xiao Ying as his own child.
Xiao Ying had just calmed down, and suddenly reacted, and just when he was crooked towards the cliff just now, he seemed to see a small green figure swaying in the wind on the side wall of the cliff. That shape seems to be "spring round"!
"Uncle Wang, I seem to have seen the medicinal herb I was looking for just now, and it is on this cliff! I have to go down, Uncle Wang, you help me put the rope! ”
Xiao Ying realized that it was "Chunyuan" just now, and said to Lao Wang excitedly.
"On the cliff face? It's too dangerous, kid, there is no other protective measure here, just a rope, if there is any accident, what can Uncle Wang do? ”
Lao Wang said very worriedly.
"It's okay, don't worry, Uncle Wang, just help me pull the rope, I'm fine."
As he spoke, Xiao Ying couldn't wait to take out the rope from his backpack, skillfully tied one end of the rope around his waist, tied a dead knot, and buckled the safety buckle. Then he found a big tree closest to the cliff, tied the other section of the rope to the big tree, and then handed over the rope that did not spread out in the middle to the old king.
"Uncle Wang, you take this rope and help me slowly lower it, and when I get the medicinal materials, I will pull the rope and you will pull me up."
"Xiao Ying, do you have to go down? It's really too dangerous, why don't we look around here again, maybe we can find another one in a less dangerous location? ”
Looking at Lao Wang's worried eyes, Xiao Ying resolutely walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Xiao Ying tightened the rope around his waist and walked towards the cliff. To be continued
