Chapter 115: Moon Lake, Moon Mountain

I suddenly thought that this was not Hao Junqi? This frightened cry was the same as that of Hao Junqi when I crossed the wooden plank bridge over the Dongmen River.

I shook my head.

"Try it, Xiong Yanfei." I smiled and encouraged Xiong Yanfei.

"I don't dare. My head was already dizzy. ”

"Oh. Then I'm coming. "Xiong Yanfei has a weak physique, of course, it is difficult to walk on the plank bridge.

I returned to Xiong Yanfei.

"You seem to have the ability to fly on the wall." Xiong Yanfei praised me.

"When I was a child, in my birthplace, I used to cross boardwalks like this."

"Practice makes perfect."

"That's right."

There are several tall and dense trees growing on this flat land, and standing in the shade of the trees, the wind blowing from the water makes it feel particularly cool.

The lake has a small island about a hundred meters from the dam. There is a pavilion on the island. The pavilion is very old. The pavilion is surrounded by weeds.

It is said to be an island, but it is actually only 50 square meters in size.

"Zheng Qihang, how about we go to the pavilion on the island and sit? It must be very pleasant. "Xiong Yanfei noticed the island as much as I did.

"Okay, but how do you get there?"

"Do you know how to hold a bamboo raft? Look there, there's a bamboo raft resting. We can prop up the bamboo row to the opposite bank. Xiong Yanfei pointed to the bamboo raft resting on the shore.

"It's a good idea. Let's go down. ”

I took Xiong Yanfei's hand and walked down the Yingshui slope to the dam. The slope is steep. Our feet were slippery on the sand and we had to step down step by step.

The bamboo raft rests on the shore. A wire ties the raft to a tree on the shore. I untie the wire, then push the raft into the water, and when the whole raft is in the water, I step on the raft and use the oars to hold the raft.

Xiong Yanfei held out his hand to me. I took Xiong Yanfei's hand and led her onto the bamboo raft.

"Do you know how to paddle?" Xiong Yanfei squatted down on the bamboo raft.

"Try it. Anyway, it's calm water, so you can paddle whatever you want. I said.

"What if the raft goes to the middle of the water?" Xiong Yanfei looked frightened.

"We thought it was a trip on the lake. You see, what a tranquil lake, what a beautiful reflection. I pointed to the water.

At the foot of the hill around the reservoir there are very obvious signs of flooding. The reflection in the water at the foot of the mountain is clear and beautiful.

"I'd love to travel with you, but I'm afraid we won't be able to return." Xiong Yanfei said.

"It's fine. Wherever we run ashore, we go ashore. ”

"I'm worried that the owner of the raft will settle accounts with us."

"I didn't expect that."

Sure enough, the more I tried to keep it going, the more it had to spin because I was paddling aimlessly, the raft was spinning in the water. Xiong Yanfei laughed so much that her stomach hurt. She let go of her grip on the bamboo to cover her stomach, but she was worried about falling into the water.

"Please, can you fix the bamboo raft, I'm fainting." Xiong Yanfei shouted.

I stopped paddling. But the raft continued to rotate due to inertia. Later, I inserted the oar into the water, thinking that the oar would reach the bottom of the lake, but I didn't want the oar to reach the bottom of the lake when it was completely submerged in the water. I just knew how deep the lake was.

After the raft stopped rotating, I tried to change the position of the paddle and adjust the direction of the stroke, and then the raft moved forward.

Once on the island, I dragged the raft to the shore and let it rest on the shore, so as to prevent the raft from drifting away from the island. If the raft drifts away from the island, we will have "no return".

The weeds on the island are luxuriant. Some "developed" around the ground, while others desperately swooped into the air, their dark green and slender blades reaching our knees. The mud that had accumulated at the roots of the weeds was dry and thick, and we stepped on the thick mud into the pavilion.

There are a lot of bags on the ground in the pavilion, as well as some other garbage. It can be seen that from time to time, people come here to watch like us.

We stood in the pavilion and looked at the scenery around us. The temple at the top of Moon Hill is hidden in the woods. Cigarette smoke.

The waters stretch all the way to the south, as if there is no end. The trees on both sides of the bank are verdant, showing the vitality of summer.

Every now and then there is a gust of wind. The wind blows the water, and the sun dances and sparkles on the water.

"It's really beautiful." Xiong Yanfei inhaled deeply.

"Isn't it a gift from God to us to have such a quiet place in the bustling city?" I asked.

"When I am seriously ill, is it a gift from God to have you by my side?" Xiong Yanfei looked at me.

"I think you're exaggerating."

"I really think so."

"That's what I should say."

"I like you." Xiong Yanfei suddenly threw herself into my arms. She hugged my waist.

"Xiong Yanfei."

"It's called Yanfei."

"Yanfei."

"Set sail, I suddenly feel so sad." Xiong Yanfei buried her face in my arms.

"Why?"

"It's too good to feel at this moment, and it makes me sad."

Why do you have such feelings? Why are you still sad at such a happy moment? I stroked Xiong Yanfei's smooth hair.

"I'm afraid it's a flash in the pan. I'm afraid it's all a passing thing. ”

"No, Yanfei. Since God has given us a gift, I will not take it away. "My heart was choking.

"I'm afraid I'm not going to get all right. A lot of the time I worry that I'm not really going to get better. ”

"No, it won't. Your match is so successful, how can it be bad? Don't you think it's been more than half a year? Aren't you recovering better and better? I said.

"But I'm still so worried." Xiong Yanfei left my arms.

I saw tears in her eyes.

I hugged Xiong Yanfei again. "No, Yanfei, God is very merciful. You have to be confident. Self-confidence is the source of overcoming illness. ”

"Hmm."

After about 20 minutes on the island, we took a bamboo raft back to the dam.

Walking on the dam, we felt very hot. The difference between the temperature on the dam road and the temperature on the island is at least five or six degrees Celsius. The sun is almost above us.

"Do you still want to climb Moon Mountain?" I asked Xiong Yanfei for his opinion.

"I still want to go up. What about you? Xiong Yanfei's forehead was sweating.

"I'm afraid you'll be tired."

"Can't you carry me if I can't climb?"

"I'd love to."

"Then let's go." Xiong Yanfei stretched out her hand.

There are two ways to go up to Mt. Moon, one is a trail built along the perimeter of the mountain, and the other is a mountain path that goes straight up the main peak of the mountain. The lane is far and gentle. The trail is close and steep.

We chose to take the mountain trail.

We walked up the steps, holding hands. Someone wrote down the data on the steps with chalk, so that we could clearly see how many steps we climbed. Xiong Yanfei counted the data.

The trail is lined with trees and the sun barely hits us.

We had gone up less than eighty steps, and Xiong Yanfei's panting sound was already clear.

"How? It's time for me to carry it, right? I said.

"It's ok. Let me climb a few more steps. Xiong Yanfei gasped and said.

"You can't do it."

"No, it won't. I can't climb anymore, I'll let you carry it. ”

Xiong Yanfei climbed a hundred steps before agreeing to let me carry her.

"Isn't it light?" Xiong Yanfei said on my back.

"It's fine."

"The doctor said I couldn't lighten it any longer."

"What do you mean?" I felt a pang in my heart.

"It wouldn't be good if I went any lighter."

I didn't pick up the topic of Xiong Yanfei.

"You know what, set sail? Leukemia is actually blood cancer. That's why doctors always advise me to eat more high-protein foods. In this way, it can boost my immunity. ”

Leukemia.

My heart ached.

"Then you have to eat as much as you can, as much as you can, you know?" The corners of my eyes were moist.

"Hmm. My mother would cook fish and eggs for me every day. He also forced me to drink three glasses of milk a day. Would you like to take a break? ”

"No, I don't. I love the feeling of carrying you. ”

"What does it feel?"

"It's a very comfortable feeling."

But no matter how comfortable this feeling is, it can't withstand the negative effects of sore legs, and Xiong Yanfei and I sat on the steps to rest several times before going up to the top of the mountain. I think Xiong Yanfei is getting heavier and heavier.

From time to time someone goes down the mountain. They looked at us in amazement.

Finally reached the top of the mountain.

There is a large piece of flat land at the top of Moon Mountain. An artificial pond was built in the middle of the flatland. The water in the pond was dark and dirty, but there was a school of red carp swimming in such a pond.

After crossing the flat ground, go up more than 30 steps, and you will arrive at the Moon Mountain Temple. The temple is surrounded by lush trees, and hundred-year-old camphor trees can be seen everywhere. The sun is scorching, but here, you still feel eerie. The sweat on your body is sucked dry unconsciously.

Because it was almost noon, there were not many people worshipping in the temple.

"Do you want to enter the temple?" I asked.

"I want to go in and worship." Xiong Yanfei said.

"Okay."

In front of the temple there is a bronze incense burner that is almost human high. The Tai Chi logo is engraved on the wall of the incense burner. The incense burner was filled with burned incense. Other incense is burning.

We walked into the temple.

There are several arhats of different sizes and appearances in the temple. It can be described as a variety of forms. I can't name them. Some arhats look hideous.

We spent money on incense and burning paper. I followed Xiong Yanfei to burn paper, light incense, and bow down in front of every arhat. Xiong Yanfei is extremely religious.

I silently made a wish in front of each arhat. I made the same wish.

After going around the front hall and the back hall, I finally finished kneeling and bowing. The smell of incense in the temple made me sneeze several times. Xiong Yanfei is extremely religious.

Out of the temple, I took a deep breath.

"Isn't it time to go back?" I say. We are already on the steps of the descent.

"Okay." Xiong Yanfei still looked back.

"Do you feel tired?"

"It's fine. Is this going down the mountain? ”

"What do you say?"

"Let's go down the mountain, it seems to be late."

"I still want to feel the feeling of carrying you, what should I do?" I say.

"Go down the hill and you'll be spared. You can't always let your bad ideas get their way. Xiong Yanfei said.

"What bad thoughts do I have? What bad thoughts do you think I have? I asked.

"You know it in your heart." Xiong Yanfei's face flushed.

"It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people."

"Okay, you're scolding me in disguise." Xiong Yanfei made a gesture to beat me.

I laughed and ran away.
