The morning in Wufeng Town was a little cold, and the cold wind blew on my face, making me more and more sober as I walked.

On the 16th day of May, there are many Taishan temples in the world, and the time to worship Taishan temples is also inconsistent in various places, which also adds to the hard work of the master, because he has to appear from time to time and possess himself in various temples, no matter what time it is, especially when the people make incense and make wishes, he is often the busiest.

Although the people of the whole town have already worshiped Taishan Mansion yesterday, I have just left the temple gate, and I still saw some people from the bottom of the hill up the stairs to burn incense for the second time, including the kind little girl yesterday.

"Big brother!" The little girl saw me from afar and beckoned to me through the crowd.

I walked down briskly and patted her little head, "Why are you here, are you here again today?" ”

"Yes," the little girl shook at me the basket that straddled her hand, "I was afraid that you would have to leave early this morning, so I came to bring you something to eat." ”

My heart was hot, and I was once again moved by the little girl's enthusiasm, "No need, I have money, and it's the same to buy food on the road." ”

The little girl's face sank instantly, "The one I bought on the road is so good, my mother made it early in the morning." ”

She uncovered the basket and I saw that it was full of rice dumplings.

The little girl continued to explain: "There are still a lot of leaves left after my family finished wrapping zongzi last time, and I happened to wrap a big pot with my mother in the morning, you can keep it for eating on the road, it is satisfying and delicious, hehe!" ”

I knew that I would only make the little girl unhappy if I excused myself, and I still had the dry food packets that had been eaten up by the Postman's House, so I took them out of my pocket, and put a basket of rice dumplings into them, almost full.

Then, under the reluctant gaze of the little girl, I said goodbye to her and the friendly town, and walked briskly along the path that the little girl had pointed out to me, just wanting to reach the town of Yuanfeng one day earlier.

Just because this Wufeng town is too remote, and there is no one or a car passing by on the road, I kept walking until it was dark, and when I was hungry, I ate the rice dumplings that the little girl gave me, and when I was thirsty, I took water from the river on the side of the road to drink, and when the sun set, I calculated that I had only walked seventy or eighty kilometers. The little girl said that there is a distance of one hundred and forty-five kilometers between Yuanfeng Town and Wufeng Town, and I have only walked half of the day slowly, and if I travel faster tomorrow, I should be able to reach Wenruo City when it gets dark.

That night, I jumped into a small sheltered pit next to the trail, ate a few rice dumplings, and then shrank in it for the night.

I woke up before dawn and went on my way again in good spirits.

At noon, under the scorching sun, I walked very thirsty, looking around, I didn't know where the river meandered to flow before, I only blamed myself for walking in a hurry, forgetting to prepare the water and set off again, the sun is not like a wasteland, in the wasteland, only hunger, but never feel thirsty.

Just as I was getting thirstier and thirstier, I unexpectedly saw three men sitting on the side of the road not far away.

They sat in a circle, and in front of them was a simple fire frame made of stones, on which lay an iron pot boiling water, and before I could get closer, I heard the sound of bubbling steam.

The three men, all dressed plainly, looked like they were farmers from neighboring villages, and had stopped to boil water to drink on their way.

"Three big brothers, the passerby forgot to bring water, can I ask you for a bowl of water to drink?"

I walked up to say hello warmly, and the sight of the bubbling water in the pot made me thirsty even more.

"Of course, please sit down!" A man who looked to be in his early forties, who looked to be the oldest, answered cheerfully, and the other two men, both in their early thirties, looked strong and muscular and like good hands at farm work.

"But you have to wait first, let's make tea and drink it."

The middle-aged man said, took out a paper bag from his pocket, and carefully shook it open, I saw that the paper bag was a handful of finely broken black tea leaves, I smiled slightly, but I didn't expect that these three farmers who were in a hurry would be so particular about it halfway, and they would also burn tea to drink.

Although I was very thirsty, I was not in a hurry, watching the man shake all the broken tea leaves in the paper bag into the pot, and soon the tea fragrance overflowed, and the boiling white water in the pot instantly changed color, and the pale red color also made me more and more greedy.

"Alright, please have tea!" The middle-aged man grabbed a common iron white lacquer cup, and a lot of lacquer had fallen from the dirty mouth, and he held the handle and scooped up half a cup of tea and handed it to me.

I took the water cup and brought it to my mouth, the water was so hot that I blew several sips in a row, and was about to taste it, but I saw that the three men seemed to be looking down at the tea in the pot, but in fact, their eyes would secretly peek at me.

I was stunned for a moment, and realized that something was wrong, there was no river near this trail, where did they get the water?

Moreover, people who walk usually take a few more steps and do not lose too much time to rest and stop on the road, and who will stop to boil water in a large pot and make tea slowly?

The most important thing is that I walked for a day yesterday, and I have never seen a passerby, but when I was thirsty today, there were three more stout men on the road.

Thinking of this, with a smile on my face, I temporarily put the teacup in my hand on a smooth stone at my feet, and asked them instead, "Three big brothers, where are you from?" How can you rest and drink tea here? ”

When the middle-aged man saw that I didn't drink, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he quickly replied: "The three of us are villagers near Wenruo City, and we went to a distant village to see our relatives come back, and we will cook tea when we are thirsty and eat cakes when we are hungry, hehe." ”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he stretched out his hand to the man next to him, who was carrying a backpack on his shoulder, he took off the backpack, unzipped it, and took out a plastic bag from the bag, which contained several white flour cakes.

The man took out a piece of bread and handed it to the middle-aged man, who tore the cake in half with one hand and handed me half of it, "Taste?" ”

With a wave of my hand, I pulled out a few rice dumplings from my bag of dry food and stretched them out in front of them.

"I'm choking on the cakes, so let's eat the dumplings, right?"

I didn't take their cakes, and they didn't take my zongzi, I tore open the zongzi leaves by myself, picked them up and ate them, but Yu Guang kept an eye on the three of them.

I think their intention was to let me take a sip of tea when I ate the cake until my mouth was dry and choked, so it must have been poisonous.
