Chapter 26 The Land Temple
I woke Ann up from his dream, and we finally escaped death. Although we stayed in the dream for a long time, in reality it was only an hour, and the sky outside the window was still shrouded in night. However, we didn't dare to sleep anymore, and our sleepiness had long been consumed by nightmares. I turned on the light, lit a cigarette, and Xiao An sat on the bed in a daze.
When the mood slowly calmed down, I asked Xiao An to sleep for a while, but she was so frightened that she didn't dare to lie down. It was still early in the morning, and it was unrealistic to sit all night, so I lay down first, and she followed.
We woke up early the next day and drove off at dawn. The car rocked on the road until it reached the end of the road. Further on, it was divided into two small forks, both dirt roads, which stretched out into two ravines. We parked the car, removed the picnic tools from the car, and started our first picnic of the trip under two large trees on the side of the road.
The mat prepared by Xiao An is the kind that children learn to crawl underneath, and there are cartoon patterns on it, although it looks childish, but she likes it. Another piece of greaseproof paper was laid on the mat. Then there's a small table that can be folded. I have to say that Xiao An's preparations are quite complete. We brought a lot of food, and I didn't know what she was going to eat, and before I could ask, I saw her put the small stove for eating barbecue on the table.
"It's noon, eat barbecue?" I sniffed.
She smiled and nodded, and began to unpack the vacuum-packed meat skewers in her hand.
"It's a dry day, and the mountains are on fire." I reminded again. But unexpectedly, she reached out and took out two small fire extinguishers from the bag behind her, one with dry powder and one with foam.
Seeing that she was so well prepared, I didn't say anything more. Take two wipes and wipe your hands and start helping with the skewers. In this case, we don't eat skewers at all, we just want the process, so the taste doesn't matter at all. Maybe it's a barbecue talent, maybe it's a relaxed mood, but it tastes pretty good.
Ann looked happy, and we had a great meal. After eating, Xiao An ran to the car to rest, and I cleaned up the scene after the meal by myself. My quality is still not high to that level, the rest of the food is basically thrown on the ground, there is no refrigerator, even if it is put away, it is estimated that the next meal will not be eaten. All utensils were wiped clean with paper towels and not rinsed with water. Although there is not a lot of water to bring, it is still necessary to save money.
After cleaning up, put all kinds of cutlery and utensils back in the trunk. When I opened the car door, I saw that Xiao An had curled up in the back seat and fell asleep. Actually, I was a little sleepy at this time, and we didn't sleep well last night when we had nightmares. So I got into the car, started the car and turned on the air conditioner, and then fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I looked back at the back seat, only to see that Ann wasn't in the car. So I hurriedly got out of the car and called Xiao An's name loudly.
Behind the tree not far away, Xiao An's voice came, "What are you calling!" I'm just going to make it easier. ”
Looking at Xiao An who was walking not far away, my panicked expression suddenly calmed down, and a smile involuntarily appeared on my face, "I thought you ran away with a wild man in the mountains while I was asleep!" ”
"Do I have to run until you fall asleep?" Xiao An said disdainfully.
Suddenly, her words changed, "I saw a small temple in the distance on the other side of the tree. ”
I wondered who would build a temple in such a ravine. But I didn't say it, and looked in the direction of her finger. However, due to the undulating terrain and the blocking of the hills, I did not see it at all. So she dragged me to the place where she had just seen the little temple. Sure enough, not far from us, a small temple-like building stood abruptly in the middle of the col.
