On the twenty-fifth day of the descent, July 23rd, a day of back pain.

I slept in the carriage for half the night and woke up early to keep vigil for Li Hu.

Lin Luoluo's sleeping appearance of tossing and turning, punching and kicking all night is really hard for me to describe...... I could only curl up in the corner, pitiful, with a sore back.

In the second half of the night, I drank alone by the fire and looked at the moon, lying on the rocky beach, looking at the starry sky sprinkled in my eyes, listening to the sound of gurgling water, cicadas and crickets, and birds, one after another, extremely boring......

As soon as the morning dawned, a few of us had a quick bite to eat, and then we continued on our way. Because we didn't take the official road, close to the 100-mile road, saved a lot of time, when we arrived at Changlin Villa, it was just afternoon, and we could have a hot dinner.

I saw that a stone gate about two zhang wide stood on the driveway, magnificent and magnificent.

In the middle of the door is inscribed with four dark golden characters of 'Changlin Villa', and a pair of couplets are written on the stone pillars on both sides: The villa is close at hand, and it is a view of ten thousand miles. ①

On both sides of the stone pillar, a lifelike bluestone lion about one meter tall is placed on each side to welcome guests from all directions.

As soon as the carriage passed through the gate, Steward Wang spoke: "Master, we have now arrived at the boundary of Changlin Villa. ”

There are no walls, no boundaries, as far as the eye can see, it is the territory of the villa... Is this the true happiness of the rich? They can't be happy.

This is better than our Qingxin Temple covering a mountain!

Luoluo and I took a closer look at the ridiculously large manor through the car window.

The villa is built by the river by the mountain and water, creating a very beautiful water scene, and I think anyone who has been to the mountain villa will be intoxicated by the poetic picture.

The water features in the villa are one pond and three mountains, pavilions, platforms, embankments, bridges, pavilions, countless; The weeping willows are still around, and the lakes and mountains are all in the eye, which has an indescribable beauty, which makes people forget to return; The lake in the lodge is crystal clear, with fish and algae clearly visible, and a gentle breeze blows, and the water surface is sparkling.

Pavilions, cornices hanging on the walls, row upon row, and simple and elegant, majestic, it is difficult to imagine the wisdom and artistic taste of the designers and craftsmen who built the mountain villa at that time. The designer's ingenious artistic imagination, coupled with the ingenious construction of the craftsmen, has constructed a majestic palace, a rippling lake, a grassy garden, and undulating mountains, surrounding half of the villa.

"Steward Wang, what is the name of the Zhuang master?" I came back to my senses in shock and asked Steward Wang.

"The surname is Zhu, we only call the owner, and we don't know his full name, he lives in seclusion here, but he doesn't want to be disturbed too much." Steward Wang explained to me.

The carriage finally came to a slow stop.

After getting out of the car, I saw a little boy with a ball head standing in front of him, clasping his hands into fists, and saluting respectfully.

Steward Wang also hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute.

"I've seen Steward Wang, I've seen you." The little boy said politely in a childish voice.

"Is the owner here? We are the royal family of Qingcheng, and a few days ago there was a letter to ask the owner to meet, and we came after asking for permission. Steward Wang asked him.

"It's really unfortunate that the owner of the farm went out fishing in the afternoon and will come back later, so you might as well play around the manor, eat together in the evening, and then discuss important matters." The little boy responded.

"Okay, that's hard work." Steward Wang bowed again.

I thought to myself, as long as I can see it and not be turned away, that's a good thing, and besides, people still invite them to dinner, and there is a drama in eighty percent.

"Then you should also enjoy it yourself, and come back to the main hall at sunset. Steward Wang, please park the frame with me first. The little boy looked like he was about the same age as Luoluo, and he was polite in his speech and gestures, like a little old man.

"Master, you take a look around, Li Hu and I will go with Xiaotong first." Steward Wang said to me.

"Steward Wang, you are busy first, and Luoluo and I will walk around." I clasped my hands together so as not to delay him in his business.

……

The villa is so big, and there is a water feature near the car. Luoluo and I walked up to the covered bridge, only to find that there are still a lot of delicate lotus flowers blooming in the lake of the villa, dotting the whole landscape, many fat goldfish in the lake are in groups, and occasionally a few Wang Ba flutter their hands and feet, which is extremely cute.

"Master, that kid just now was so old-fashioned." Lin Luoluo was lying on the edge of the covered bridge, his calves crossed.

"People are generous." I didn't have the heart to say it.

"No, it's me who is generous! He can only be old-fashioned. Lin Luo pouted and talked back to me.

"Why do you keep looking at people's fish ponds?" I don't want to answer and change the subject in time.

"Master, look, such a big Wang Ba, the stew must be delicious, right?" Lin Luoluo pointed to the lake and swallowed his saliva...... Finished.

"Amitabha, it should be delicious." I'm also a little ......

Should I also cultivate the forest fall?

Regardless of those messy social relations, I remember that it should be the first regular female disciple since the establishment of Qingxin Temple.

I took Lin Luoluo to leave the place to watch Wang Ba, walked around, walked in the courtyard, birds singing and fragrant, to see what the villa of the real big family looks like, and in the future, I will ask the host to also transform the temple according to this, and Qingxin Temple will also develop a tourism industry, and it will definitely be more famous in the future.

"Master, it seems that someone is in the Huxin Pavilion, right?" Lin Luoluo stood on his tiptoes and looked into the distance.

I looked at it, and sure enough, a figure in a long blue dress stood alone on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Luoluo, I found that your eyes are really good, let's come over and make friends." Heartily gave Lin Luoluo a thumbs up, and led her to turn left and right around the covered bridge and walk there.

"I've seen the master." As soon as I approached, the girl took the initiative to salute and greet her.

The girl was tall, with a green hair, a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, a little cherry mouth, a thin waist of willow stuffed with a pen tube, and the voice of a swallow warbler was slightly missing on her face.

"Amitabha Buddha ~ the heart of the poor monk, from Qingxin Temple, I have seen a girl." I'm busy reporting to my family, and for some reason, there is always a feeling of déjà vu with this sister.

"My name is Lin Luoluo, Luoluo and generous." The little girl was also talking on the side.

"Ahh Kiishin-ji! The little girl has not gone up to the mountain to burn incense for many years since she got married and came to Jiangxia. I saw the girl cry softly.

"The girl is also from Qingcheng?" I asked curiously, can you also meet fellow countrymen?

"Back to the master's words, the little girl is from the Xu family in Qingcheng, Xu Yu, and married to Jiangxia City." The woman whispered with her head bowed.

"The Xu family! Castle Lord's Mansion! It turned out to be the eldest lady, rude and rude. "It turns out that she is the eldest lady of the Xu family and Jiangxia's marriage.

"The master doesn't have to be polite, the little girl has been married for many years, and she hasn't been back for a long time, and the temple hasn't gone to the incense to worship the Buddha for many years, so I'm ashamed." Xu Yu said slightly apologetically.

"Miss Xu doesn't have to be like this, if there is a Buddha in her heart, it is respect, so why do you have to go up the mountain." I opened my mouth to make a big point.

Xu Yu nodded and said, "What the master said is extremely true, I don't know what the master is doing when he comes to Changlin Villa?" ”
