Following behind Yaoyao, climbing all the way up, the mountain is not high, and the scenery along the way is picturesque.

For those who have been in the concrete forest for a long time, the perspective and spiritual impact of coming to this real forest is very strong.

In particular, the aroma of plants and trees in the air, the birdsong and the gurgling sound of running water next to the steps from time to time between the trees made us feel refreshed and happy when we were used to smelling car exhaust.

Yaoyao is like a cheerful bird, constantly shuttling between trees.

One would chase butterflies, one would play in the stream, and the other would jump on a boulder in the middle of the stream for me to take a picture of her. It's hard not to be infected by her when I look at her like this, and my mood unconsciously becomes happy.

There are many pedestrians on the road, and many parents bring their children to experience life. For these children born in the city market, mountains and rivers are a lesson in their lives that they urgently need to make up.

Every flower and tree in the woods is full of attraction for them, and their parents spare no effort to pour out their thoughts and love for the land to them.

For the countryside where he has lived for most of his life, this kind of life naturally cannot be continued in the child, but I also hope that this kind of plot can be passed on a little bit. Parents who have been farmers for half their lives naturally do not want their children to be completely cut off from the land.

This is a very contradictory mood, on the one hand, I naturally hope that the child can say goodbye to the life of his ancestors facing the loess and facing the sky.

On the other hand, I hope that they can inherit the spirit of hardship and hard work, and I don't want them to forget that they have the tenacity that belongs to the farmers in their blood.

And Yaoyao kept interacting with the children on the road, cheering up and cheering up the children for a while; One will race with them, sprint two steps; After a while, I helped the mother who was pushing the stroller to push the stroller in her hand.

In short, along the way, she released her kindness to the surroundings to the fullest, and also gained countless kindnesses.

Her new harmony allows her to easily gain the trust of others, just like I did when I first met her.

And she is also unreservedly full of trust and friendliness to the people around her, which makes her whole person look like she shines with some kind of aura.

I thought I couldn't do it, and I instinctively resisted all social behaviors, as if there was always a membrane in my heart that separated me from outsiders.

Especially when I was asked to come into contact with strangers like her, I had a deep fear.

Seeing her easily deal with all kinds of people, giving a helping hand, and reaping a full sense of achievement. I can't help but have a deeper understanding of her in my heart, worthy of being a treasure girl, it seems that I don't know her well enough.

Follow her as she jumps, feeling the satisfaction and happiness in her smile. The bottom of his heart was even more crushed with silver teeth, and he secretly vowed to give the girl in front of him a bright future.

Soon came to an ancient temple halfway up the mountain, the huge square was crowded with people, and the incense burner in front of the temple was even more smoky.

I'm a complete materialist myself, and I've always scoffed at these ghosts.

But I watched Yaoyao take out a large handful of incense from her small backpack and motioned for me to help him light it. Then she knelt in front of the idol reverently, and she did not bow three times and nine times like the other believers, but ran quietly in front of the idol, closing her eyes tightly.

What I felt from her was not feudal superstition, but more like a kind of faith, a kind of spiritual communication. Her action succeeded in arousing my curiosity, but I looked at the pious pilgrims kneeling beneath the majestic statue of the Dharma in the main hall.

I could only suppress the curiosity in my heart and silently follow behind Yaoyao. watched her bow down to the Bodhisattvas in several halls, and even saluted a stick of incense one by one.

After worshipping all the Bodhisattvas in the hall, she returned to the state she had just been in when she had just gone up the mountain, and asked me with a smile, "Are you curious why I came to worship the Bodhisattva?" ”

I nodded yes, and she looked into the distance, then silently walked to the fence at the edge of the square.

When I came to the fence, I realized that I could see almost the city below. Rows of factories, criss-crossing roads, and endless traffic.

There is a feeling of trance, being in the middle of the city, but there is such a peaceful place. In particular, the aroma of the incense candles lit by the pilgrims behind him kept pouring into the nasal cavity, which made people unconsciously feel much calmer.

Yaoyao also stared at the scenery below the mountain, her expression was lonely, and her eyes turned red a little bit.

Her sudden sadness came unexpectedly, and I was overwhelmed, and I wanted to say comfort, but I didn't know what to say.

"Actually, it's because of my grandmother, my parents have been very busy since I was a child, and my grandmother has always brought me up." Before I could speak, Yaoyao talked about the reason for her sadness.

"Remember the last time you gave me a hibiscus flower? My grandmother's yard was also planted with hibiscus, and when I was a child, my grandmother would take me back to my hometown in Jiangxi every summer. I especially liked the yard at my grandmother's house, with butterflies, dragonflies, and swallows nesting under the eaves. ”

With that, she closed her eyes tightly and let the tears slip from the corners of her eyes. Seeing her fall into the memories, I already had a rough guess of the rest of the story. But she couldn't help, so she could only take out a tissue from the bag and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

She opened her eyes and gave me a grateful look. Then he took the tissue from my hand and wiped the tears that were rolling in his eyes.

Then he continued: "My grandmother left two years ago, and she believed in Buddhism, so whenever we were free when she was there, she would take my brother and me to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. On the first and fifteenth days of the new year, they would take us to eat fast. ”

When she said this, she seemed to be more and more sad, and her tears could not be stopped. No matter how hard she tried to wipe it with a tissue, I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks, so I quickly pulled two more tissues and handed them to her.

"I was ignorant at that time, and I always thought it was superstition, and every time I worshipped the Bodhisattva, I pretended to be. It wasn't until my grandmother left that I didn't know why she believed in Buddhism, and she hoped that the Bodhisattva could bless us for her. That's why I come here every month to burn incense and tell my grandmother that we're all right. ”

I finally understood why she was so devout just now, it turned out that she was not worshipping the Bodhisattva, but thinking about her grandmother. I wanted to say something, but I felt that saying nothing at this time was not enough to soothe her pain.

I had never experienced the pain of losing a loved one, and when my grandfather and grandmother passed away, I was too young to understand the loss of death.

By the time I could understand death, they had been away from me for so long that I couldn't remember them anymore.

Seeing Yaoyao so sad at this time, I suddenly felt a little lucky, glad that I had not experienced such loss and pain. But I felt very sad in my heart, not only because of my empathy for her, but also because I didn't have a relative like her who could miss her.

"Grandma will definitely not be happy to see you like this now, since she asked the Bodhisattva to bless you, she must also hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you with good health and happiness. If you see that you are crying like a little cat now, grandma will be sad when she sees it. Quickly wipe away your tears and let grandma see that you are fine now. ”

I know that I can't help what I'm saying now, and I can only use my grandmother's mouth to cheer her up again. But I think what I said must be what my grandmother wants to say, and it is what every elder who has left this world thinks of his children and grandchildren.

My words obviously worked, and I saw Yaoyao quickly wipe away her tears, and then took two deep breaths. Holding back the grief in his heart, he squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "You're right, I want to be happy and let my grandmother rest assured." ”

After saying that, he turned around and took my hand and walked towards the middle of the square, and said to me excitedly as he walked, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the turtle." There are so many turtles in that trevi fountain, and I go to see them every time I come. ”

Before she could finish her sentence, we were already at the edge of the Trevi Fountain she had spoken, and when she had just told me that she was going to take me to see the turtle, I was still thinking to myself what the turtle was so beautiful. But when I actually walked to the edge of the pool, I was still shocked by what I saw.

I saw hundreds of turtles in the ten-meter-square pool, basking in the sun leisurely.

From time to time, pilgrims threw coins at them from the edge of the pool, refusing to say that if they hit the turtle, their wishes would come true. I was secretly amused by their unscientific behavior, and even silently calculated the income of this turtle pond for a year.

However, before I could figure it out, Yaoyao had already taken out a large handful of coins from her purse and stuffed half of them into my hand. Then, without explanation, he took the coin and threw it at the turtle in the pool.

I thought to myself that if this turtle could manifest itself, it would not bless those who hit it.

Soon, the coin in Yaoyao's hand had been thrown by her, but none of them hit.

Looking at the turtles swimming around in the pool, I thought to myself, she can't think the same way I do. So many throwing with her eyes closed can hit two, but she didn't hit one of them so hard.

Finally, the last coin came out of his hand and landed next to a giant Brazilian tortoise. The big turtle that was still closed and recuperating was probably disturbed by the dream, and slowly stretched out its head in the turtle shell and looked at Yaoyao, the initiator.

It slowly stretched out its head and looked at Yaoyao slowly, like a master who did not quietly look at his opponent after being provoked.

Yaoyao was obviously also annoyed by her action, reached out and snatched back the coin that had just been stuffed into me from my hand, and then threw it at the big turtle like a goddess.

Not surprisingly, two coins finally hit the big guy this time, but Yaoyao only wanted to retaliate for the provocative action it had just made, and she had no urge to make a wish.

Seeing that he was finally hit, he didn't care whether his means were glorious or not, and waved his fist at the turtle defiantly.

That smug little expression, as if he had won an Olympic championship. However, after the battle with this turtle, she has forgotten the grief just now. This is the result I want to see, and naturally I am happy with her, and I don't want to make a clapping motion.

She didn't hesitate to wave her fist at me, it seems that she still knows very well about the cheating just now.

I can only laugh, at this time, I don't dare to provoke her, in case I stir up her emotions just now. I really don't know how to comfort her at that time, I'm afraid I'll really have to find a piece of tofu and kill myself.

This human-tortoise war finally ended with a "great victory" for human beings. I finally saw a smile on Yaoyao's face, in order to avoid any more human-dog, human-cat wars, I quickly asked her, "Where are you going next, is there anything else to play here?" ”

When I said this, she instantly came to her senses, and she didn't answer me, but just took my hand and walked back. When I walked through the building, I realized that there was an upward hiking trail behind it. Good fellow, it looks like we have to keep climbing the mountain, I groaned in my heart.

It's not that it's hard to climb the mountain, but it's that climbing the mountain is too boring, and the rare get along results in climbing the mountain as much as possible.

Looking at the little couples climbing the mountain along the way, it was all men who carried the girls up with them. This classmate is good, he has a lot of physical strength, and he is far ahead along the way, which makes me look like a "weak man" who is not strong enough.

But the more skillfully she tugged at my hand, it made me feel a burst of excitement in my heart, and it seemed that the spring of my wild lily was coming.

In that case, then climb the mountain and climb the mountain, it's not so unacceptable, is it? I thought to myself.

The road behind her was noticeably steeper, and she began to feel strained, and her speed slowed down considerably. I took the opportunity to rush in front of her, and with a strong hand, gently pulled her to climb slowly to the top of the mountain.

The vegetation at the top of the hill is still dense, but the tall trees have been reduced and replaced by shrubs that I have never seen before.

Huge limestone stones peeked out of the bushes, and many people were sitting on them, while their companions below clicked with their cameras.

Seeing that Yaoyao, who was out of breath, was struggling to move her legs, trying to keep up with my pace, I turned around and whispered to her, "Do you want to take a break, I'll take two pictures of you too." ”

"Don't, you have to shoot at the top of the mountain, the scenery here is not as good as the top of the mountain." This is damn competitive, and I don't look at what I'm doing.

But since she has her own ideas, I can't force her, so I can only increase the strength in my hands and slow down my pace.

And reminded her in a whisper: "Take a deep breath, raise your legs high, and lower your feet, so that you are not so tired." ”

She whispered a "hmm", which was an answer to me, and it seemed that she was indeed tired. I looked up at the trail at the end of the trail and chuckled.

At this time, it is definitely impossible to go back, I am willing, and she will never agree. How could a person who even a tortoise have to defeat allow herself to lose to the mountain in front of her, and it was obviously not the first time she had conquered it.

Helpless, I could only cooperate with her footsteps, moving up little by little, and looking back at Yaoyao who was already sweating from time to time.

Surrounded by a sense of powerlessness, I didn't know how I could help her. Whether to persuade her to give up and let her leave regrets, or to see her persist and endure this powerlessness.
