The lights in the temple are dim, the sky is gradually darkening, and the wall is blocked, it is already dark inside, and it is impossible to see things in the distance, but there is not a single electric light that is turned on, and the only two lights are on the left-hand side and one in the lobby in front.

"Death Ren Sheng, you stop me, who do you say doesn't read much!?"

Wang Qiuqiu chased in angrily, and when he saw that it was so dim and quiet inside, his voice immediately quieted down, and Liu Ting and Wei Lin also walked in.

Wang Qiuqiu muttered in a low voice: "I just said that the door is closed, it is pitch black and I can't even see a person here." After speaking, he stepped on my foot and "hummed" to avenge the revenge just now.

Before I could speak, the sound of the door opening next to me had already indirectly slapped Wang Qiuqiu's face.

A figure walked out, shining a flashlight on us, and walked towards us.

"What are you here for?"

His voice was a little hoarse and familiar, and when he approached me, I realized that it was the old man who had asked me if I had been incense when he came over earlier.

The old man also recognized me and said to me, "Is it you, are you here to find someone again?" I'm alone here, everyone else is off work and going back. ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, we're here to make incense." ”

The old man glanced at us again, and said with some doubts: "You still come to offer incense so late?" ”

Maybe no one came at night, but I explained to him that we lived nearby, and we came to worship the Bodhisattva by the way when we walked here, and the old man believed our explanation and took us into the lobby.

Although I came once in the afternoon, I never came in, there are a total of five idols in the lobby, each idol has a cushion in front of it for people to kneel and worship, and the front desk of the most central idol is lit with two large incense candles, which are the only light in the whole room.

The old man took a bundle of incense and gave each of us three, and he had already told us in advance that one stick of incense was ten yuan, and the four of us were forty.

To be honest, this price is too conscientious compared to Guang'an Temple, and I paid forty yuan directly. (Later, I learned that the old man was looking at the reason why we were students, and the usual pilgrims were fifty-one incense sticks.) ）

Originally, I was a person who admired science, and I didn't believe in these gods and Buddhas, but after the last incident, my concept quietly changed, but how to say that you should always maintain a reverent heart for gods and Buddhas, you can not believe but not disrespect.

The four of us lined up with incense, and the old man told us that the statue on the far left did not need to be worshipped, and the others could be worshipped, and we also bowed in turn except for the leftmost one, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner in the middle.

After worshipping, Wang Qiuqiu asked curiously, "Why doesn't that statue need to be worshipped?" Isn't that disrespectful? ”

The statue on the far left is a female bodhisattva holding a doll in her hand, but when I look at the past, what I pay the most attention to is not the statue, but the things on the altar in front of the statue.

"That's a child-giving mother, you are still a student and a child, you don't need to petition the mother."

"Why?" Wang Qiuqiu asked a little stupidly.

I couldn't help but explain next to me: "As the name suggests, the mother of the child is the god in charge of giving birth to children, and it is for those who want to have children, do you want the mother to bless you to have a child as soon as possible?" ”

After hearing me say this, Wang Qiuqiu understood, and immediately made a big red face and glared at me: "Who is going to have a child, people don't know!"

After the incense, the old man urged us: "Okay, okay, it's going to be dark soon, and it's very unsafe to have no street lights on the mountain, so you can go down the mountain quickly after you finish the incense." ”

I pointed to the pendants on the altar and asked, "Grandpa, are these pendants for sale?" ”

The old man shook his head: "These pendants are given to those pilgrims who are begging for children. ”

I was surprised and said, "Such a beautiful pendant is given away for nothing, isn't that a big loss?" ”

"I don't need money in the first place, these are all sent by well-wishers." The old man said.

"Someone else's gift? Who sent it? I seemed to have caught something, so I continued to ask.

"Of course it was given by a kind person, do good deeds!"

"Okay, I'm going to close the door and rest, you guys go down the mountain quickly, you can't see the snake on the road when it's dark." The old man didn't seem to want to talk any longer, and began to lead us outside with a flashlight.

The old man's answer was the same as not answering, but I also realized that my question was a little private, so I didn't continue to ask, and the four of them followed the old man's back and walked out.

"Grandpa, you live alone in such a big temple?" On the way, Wang Qiuqiu asked curiously.

The old man replied: "At night, they are all on duty in turns, usually two people, but today there is something in the other person's house, so I am alone." ”

"Aren't you scared to stay here alone at night?" Wang Qiuqiu looked at the dim surroundings and shrunk his neck.

The old man smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, there are no valuable things here, and thieves will not come here to steal." ”

"I mean that... Wang Qiuqiu wanted to speak and stopped.

"Please, Qiuqiu, don't you look at what kind of place this is, how can that thing dare to come?" Liu Ting couldn't help but say.

"Hee-hee, too." Wang Qiuqiu also felt that this was the case, and he was amused by himself.

The old man sent us to the door, and told us to hurry home, and after we said goodbye to him, he also closed the side door.

We also walked down the mountain, and it was indeed getting dark, and there were almost no people in the countryside who were not at home after dark.

"By the way, Ren Sheng, that old man seems to know you, what do you mean by saying that you are here to find someone again?" Liu Ting asked me suddenly.

I didn't expect her to remember this, so I explained that when I went to the mountain to go to the toilet in the afternoon, I saw a temple here, and I was very curious and walked over to take a look, but I didn't expect to see Huang Xuan's car here, so I went in to find Huang Xuan.

"What is Officer Huang Xuan doing here?" Liu Ting asked suspiciously.

"What else can I do, of course I came to the temple to worship the gods."

Naturally, I won't tell the real reason why Officer Huang Xuan came here, and Liu Ting also felt that I was right, so she didn't care anymore.

On the way, Wei Lin has been silent, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, because since he came back here, he has become less jumpy and cheap, but it is not abnormal, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Until Liu Ting shouted: "Eh, Alin, where are you going?" ”

When we walked down the mountain, Wei Lin went straight to the road leading to the mountain, and Liu Ting called him as if he hadn't heard him.

"Hey, Arin!"

Liu Ting shouted again, but Wei Lin still walked forward without reacting, and Liu Ting began to panic a little at this time.

"Wellin?" I also sensed that something was wrong, so I called him and walked towards Wein, who knew that as soon as I got close to Wein, I suddenly ran crazy and ran up the mountain!
