Forty-two, down the mountain

Everyone was fighting, and it was past noon after a while, because they were just drinking, but they didn't eat seriously, Zeng Fan was already feeling a little hungry at this time, and An Xue and the others had already had a good time, so they all proposed to go back. An Ran collected and packed the garbage left over from the snacks eaten by a few people, while Zeng Fan and a few people each carried a few empty wine bottles, and the group talked and laughed and went down the mountain together.

Li Dabiao took everyone down the mountain on a different path, walking but even he himself was a little confused, and he was embarrassed to say that he took the wrong road, so he just went to a low place. After a short time of zigzag walking, they found a large road, and they followed the road down the mountain, and soon they found a temple in a mountain pass. At this time, several people were a little tired, so they all went in to watch. The temple seems to have been built recently, and although it occupies a large area, there is not much incense.

There are a total of seven or eight meditation rooms in the temple, and the repair place is very atmospheric; The eaves are intrigued, and there are some metal hollow devices hanging under the eaves, which Zeng Fan and others don't know, but these devices "ding" in the mountain wind, but they are very melodious and beautiful.

When everyone walked into the middle hall, the first thing they saw was a golden Buddha statue with dignity and a red silk on it. The person who took care of the temple was a very kind old man, and when he heard that Zeng Fan and several of them were students, the old man was even more kind, saying that it was very good for students to come to the temple to burn incense. Zeng Fan and the others didn't tell the old man that they didn't come to burn incense, but just came in by mistake.

Under the guidance of the old man, Zeng Fan and a few people respectfully finished the incense, but found that there was a sign holder next to the offering table.

An Ran held the hexagram holder and shook it for a long time, only to hear the sound of "bang", and most of the hexagram sticks in it were shaken out, and Zeng Fan and several people laughed. An Ran blushed and looked at the old man with a pleading eye, and the old man smiled and said that it didn't matter, and told her to try again, don't be nervous, don't try too hard. An Ran tried the second time, and this time only one sign came out, the signature number was 40, and the middle and bottom signs were written, and several people didn't understand, so they asked the old man to explain. An Ran asked with some concern: "Isn't this sign not very good?" The old man was still smiling, and comforted him with a pleasant face, "It's good, it's all good, you're all good." An Ran was relieved.

Later, Zeng Fan shook a No. 13 lottery, which was the middle lottery. An Xue shook a No. 8 sign, which was signed. The remaining few people, Zeng Fan, were too lazy to look at it, so he went to the old man to unsign. The old man took out a thick book and said that the explanations signed by each sign were on the book.

Zeng Fan found the explanation of the No. 13 signature, which read: Born ungrouped but arrogant, a lonely crane sings in the sky. If he can downgrade his style one day, he will settle his grievances and hate himself. Although Zeng Fan can see a rough idea, he doesn't understand it very well. I had to go to the old man again, and the old man smiled and said: "It's good to sign, but your personality is too straight, and it is inevitable to offend people. ”

Zeng Fan was still half-understood, still thinking about the old man's words, but An Xue had already found the explanation of his No. 8 signature, and when Zeng Fan reacted to go to see it, An Xue had already closed the book and didn't let Zeng Fan read it. The two were still arguing, but Li Dabiao and the others had already come over to check their hexagram signs, and An Xue let go of the book. Li Dabiao and Jiang Jianguo read their respective explanations, some believed and some didn't, but they didn't pay much attention to it anyway.

When looking at Wang Ting's signature again, it was written: gentle temperament, proper handling, worry-free food and clothing, and good fortune. Jiang Jianguo laughed after seeing it, and said to Wang Ting: "It seems that you must be a good wife and mother in the future." Wang Ting glanced at Jiang Jianguo and said, "Hmph, people are original." ”

Jiang Jianguo continued: "I'm afraid it's a good wife and mother-tiger." ”

Wang Ting was so angry that she pinched Jiang Jianguo, and Jiang Jianguo shouted: "Oh, it's not good, the tigress will still catch people." ”

Zeng Fan didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he went to see An Xue's signature, but what he wrote: Smart and outstanding, rich and rich, and good luck will come.

Before leaving, the old man tore off the ribbons from the red silk draped by the Buddha statue and asked everyone to wear them, saying that it would keep them safe, and everyone gladly accepted them. Zeng Fan wanted to ask for one for Liu Yue, but with so many people present, he was embarrassed to speak. But I think I have never worn jewelry, and it doesn't look good for a boy to wear a red silk on his body, so I will give it to Liu Yue.

Zeng Fan and several people left the empty beer bottles outside the temple gate, and the garbage was still carried by An Ran, and they went down the mountain according to the one-way road pointed out by the old man. The way back is more than downhill, although Zeng Fan still carries An Ran, An Ran is no longer as shy as when he came, and he also told Zeng Fan jokes, Zeng Fan swept away the depression when he came, and rode a car fast.

After returning to school, Shen Bingjie learned that Zeng Fan and his party went to Phoenix Mountain to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so she vented her dissatisfaction to Zeng Fan through Cheng Xiaomin. Zeng Fan explained that he was in a hurry, and criticized the demeanor of Phoenix Mountain as worthless, saying that it was just a small mound, even if he didn't go, there was nothing to regret, so Shen Bingjie didn't care anymore.

Because the high school entrance examination is imminent, many graduates are busy filling out the classmates' records, taking headshots and giving each other nostalgia, so Shen Bingjie also asked Zeng Fan to take photos so that he could exchange photos with himself. Zeng Fan couldn't do it, so he had to take some photos with everyone, and it didn't take long for the photos to be sent, and he also accumulated a dozen photos from his classmates. At that time, it was sent too quickly, Zeng Fan forgot to leave one for Shen Bingjie, so he had to take it again, and left one in advance for Cheng Xiaoxia to send to Shen Bingjie, and Cheng Xiaoxia naturally brought a photo of Shen Bingjie when she came back.

How do you know that Cheng Xiaoxia is unwilling to be just a messenger, and gives full play to the natural mouthy characteristics of girls, and makes Zeng Fan and Shen Bingjie's secret sending Qiubo known to both classes. Zeng Fan was worried that the teacher would know about this, but at the same time, he had a sense of revenge stimulation in his heart, thinking: "I'm going to take the high school entrance examination, does the teacher care what I do?" "Even if Lao Tzu is in love, how can you force Lao Tzu to be so lustful.

Unexpectedly, one night after evening self-study, Liu Yue stopped Zeng Fan somewhere in the school, and said to Zeng Fan with an angry face: "Zeng Fan, I heard about it, I really misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, do you remember what I said to you in the physics teacher's office before?" I will go to the county No. 1 middle school, and then be admitted to Zhejiang University, I hope to see you again by the West Lake in the future, I hope you don't let me down, and I hope you don't fall down before the high school entrance examination! ”

In the face of Liu Yue's aggressiveness, Zeng Fan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and deliberately said: "Where do you go to do something to me, besides, what are you, why should I listen to you, why do you want me to do what you want me to do?" ”

Liu Yue trembled with anger, and tears slowly flowed down.

Seeing Liu Yue crying, Zeng Fan was a little flustered and a little unbearable, and couldn't help but regret that he had spoken too much just now, so he carefully comforted him and said, "Don't you cry, okay?" Thank you for giving me the Jade Buddha last time, it was given to me by the old man in the Phoenix Mountain Temple, it is said to bring good luck to people, give it to you. After Zeng Fan finished speaking, he sent a red ribbon to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the strap and threw it angrily at Zeng Fan's face. Zeng Fan stood motionless, letting the belt hit him, and then slowly slid down his face, just like Liu Yue's tears. Zeng Fan glanced at Liu Yue deeply, didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Liu Yue seemed to want to say something, but finally didn't say anything, and after a long time, Liu Yue picked up the red ribbon again, clenched it with his hand, and then the tears flowed down like crazy unstoppablely, falling to the ground silently, blooming one after another aggrieved flowers.
