"Love letter?" Ye Li was a little surprised, looking at the letter in Shen Minghua's hand.

Shen Minghua nodded, "I just saw the words inside, it should be a love letter."

Ye Li frowned, she was not interested in prying into other people's privacy, but this love letter was a bit tricky to hold in her hand.

"Wait here for the owner to come back?" She thought that since it was a love letter, the owner of the love letter should come back to look for it.

"Okay..." As soon as Shen Minghua finished speaking, a plainly dressed girl came out from behind the fence of the nearby farmhouse.

She bent down and looked at the ground, walking very slowly, as if she was looking for something.

Shen Minghua and Ye Li looked at each other, Ye Li coughed lightly, and stopped the girl.

"Hello, are you looking for this?"

Hearing the voice, Ah Chou first slightly raised his head, scanned the surroundings with his eyes buried under his hair, and only after seeing that there was no one around did he confirm that they were calling for him.

Her back became a little hunched due to years of bending, and her head was often lowered.She looked at Shen Minghua and Ye Li with vigilant eyes. After noticing the envelope in Shen Minghua's hand, her expression changed and she walked over quickly.

When A Chou got closer, the two of them saw the scar on her face. Ye Li was stunned for a second, and soon looked at Shen Minghua calmly, beckoning him to return the love letter to that girl.

Shen Minghua's expression was still gentle, and he didn't show any abnormality, and handed out the love letter.

Footprints and gaps in the love letter exposed the letter inside.

Ah Chou clenched his fingers, his face was not good-looking, and the aura on his body was not considered kind, but now it seemed to be even worse.

"We just picked it up on the street, probably because there were too many people and accidentally tore it apart..." Shen Minghua looked at Ah Chou's unhappy expression, and quickly explained.

Ah Chou directly snatched the letter paper from Shen Minghua's hand, turned around and left quickly without even saying thank you.

Shen Minghua, who was startled by A Chou's rude actions, was startled for a second, Ye Li looked at A Chou's back, his brows gradually furrowed.

Shen Minghua's expression quickly recovered, he looked at Ye Li, smiled, and didn't mention what happened just now, "I see that the team of messenger dogs has already gone up the mountain, and there should be Ten Thousand Faces Buddha on it, let's go up there and say Might not be able to find anything."

"Okay." Ye Li nodded.

-

Lu Keming and Anthony followed the dog team and had already reached the halfway up the mountain.

It was late autumn at this time, and the weather became much cooler. There was already some snow on the top of the mountain, and the temperature became lower as we went up the mountain.

The leaves of the surrounding trees have long since fallen, and the bare trees stand on both sides of the mountain road, occasionally hanging a withered yellow leaf that has not had time to fall.

The ground was already covered with a layer of dry yellow leaves. The team walked through the mountain road, and the leaves were crushed, making a crisp and subtle cracking sound, which was covered by the bearers' horns.

"Where is the Thousand-faced Buddha? I haven't arrived after walking for so long." Anthony looked at the endless mountain road and couldn't help complaining, "This village is the same, and the Buddha is still placed in such a remote place."

Lu Keming looked away from Yu Youyou in front, glanced at the distant mountain top, and said lightly, "Just follow."

Anthony sighed and walked on.

The bearers in front didn't seem to be tired. After climbing the mountain road for so long, the voice of chant remained undiminished.

Yu Youyou was sitting in the sedan chair, blocked by the back of the sedan chair, and did not see Lu Keming and Anthony following behind.

Her swarthy eyes stared at the front without moving, and she sat up straight, no longer lying on her stomach casually like in the village.

At this moment, the bearer who was carrying it stepped on a stone hidden under the fallen leaves, twisted his footsteps, staggered, Yu Youyou in the sedan chair was tilted, his eyes widened, and he was about to fall down.

A slender white hand supported Yu Youyou's body, preventing her from falling down.

Yu Youyou tilted her head, looked up along that hand, and saw Lu Keming who should have stayed in the village.

Her expression lit up, and she grinned, and she was about to call Lu Keming.

"Shh."

Lu Keming raised his other hand, put his fingers on his lips, and made a silent movement.

Yu Youyou rolled his eyes around, quickly looked aside, and closed his mouth.

She stood on the side of the sedan chair with two front legs, lowered her dog's head, the flesh on her face was piled up in layers, she looked at Lu Keming excitedly from top to bottom, and her tail kept flicking back and forth.

Lu Keming looked at the pile of meat on Yu Youyou's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a slight arc.

The bearers didn't seem to see Lu Keming. The leader of the bearers noticed what happened behind him, with a bad expression, clasped his hands together, bowed to the air a few times, and muttered something.

The atmosphere in the team was dignified. After the leader of the bearer paid his obeisance, he cursed the bearer with a sprained leg, and led the team to continue walking.

Lu Keming simply walked beside Yu Youyou's sedan chair and walked with her.

Yu Youyou sat down in the sedan chair with her chin resting on the armrest of the sedan chair, her moist and bright eyes were full of joy, she stared at Lu Keming intently, and stretched out her fleshy paws to pull Lu Keming from time to time.

Lu Keming was pulled several times by her, turned his head to look at Yu Youyou, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Yu Youyou couldn't speak, she closed her eyes with a smile, stretched her waist, stretched her two paws out of the sedan chair, crossed them in the air, and followed the movement of the bearer.

The perennial coldness in Lu Keming's eyes dissipated a lot. Even a slight change in expression made his face look more youthful than it should have been.

He turned his head, and there were dots of smiles in his eyes. Even when he looked at the road covered with fallen leaves, he became much gentler.

The bearers carried it for a long time, and finally came to the end of the forest. In front of them was a high and steep rock cliff, and the team could no longer move forward.

"It's all over..." Anthony put his hands on his waist, looked up at the huge rocky cliff, and didn't see any way to go up, "Where is this Thousand-faced Buddha?"

Already remote enough, can it be more remote?

Are all their Buddhas so lacklustre?

But the bearer in front carried the dog to the cliff every day, and walked to a small earthen house under the cliff.

Anthony's eyes moved from the towering stone cliff to the narrow and unremarkable earthen house under the stone cliff, and after a few seconds of silence, he silently followed Lu Keming's footsteps.

The earthen house was so narrow that the dog's sedan chair could not even be carried in. The porters put the dog's sedan chair on the ground, bowed respectfully, and waited for the dog to enter the Buddhist temple.

Yu Youyou looked up and looked at both sides, and noticed that the messenger dog in front had entered the temple, turned his eyes, and followed.

After all the dogs entered the temple, the bearers entered one by one. As soon as they entered, they knelt down on the futon in the Buddhist temple, put their hands together, and began to chant scriptures devoutly.

Anthony clicked his tongue.

It's really interesting, neither is it a disciple of the Buddha, but he has to pay homage to the Buddha and recite scriptures like a disciple of the Buddha.

The Buddhist temple was built along the cliff, and a hole was dug under the cliff, and a Buddha statue as tall as a person was placed.

"Master, this Buddha statue has no face." Anthony looked at the weird Buddha, feeling strange in his heart.

Rather than saying that there is no face, it is better to say that there is only one pair of eyes on a face, and there is no nose, mouth, or ears at all.

Lu Keming stared at the Buddha statue, his eyelids were lowered, and there was a little more thought in his eyes.

In the clay niche where the Buddha statue is, there are scattered yellow mounting papers, on which the words "Wanmian Buddha" are written crookedly in cinnabar.

It is said that it is the Buddha with thousands of faces, but it should be said that it is the Buddha with no faces.

Anthony touched his arm and looked around.

It's strange, obviously surrounded by earthen walls, except for a door, there is no window, why does he always feel as if he is standing in a room with air leakage, his whole body is chilly.

While Anthony was pondering, there was a sound in front of him.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that Yu Youyou had jumped onto the altar, walked into the mud niche, sat in front of the Buddha statue, and looked straight at Wanmian Buddha with his head up.
