Ideal country

When Huo Ke woke up the next morning, Xing Ye was no longer in the room, and it was inconceivable that he didn't realize it at all.

The cat's hearing is very good, no matter it is day or night, it sleeps very lightly, and it can wake up at the slightest movement, but Xing Ye didn't feel it at all when he got up.

He slowly went to the bathroom to wash up before Xing Ye came back from outside.

The two of them went to bed early last night, so Xing Ye woke up early, and got up when he woke up, and went for a couple of runs outside.Nanyun Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the air quality is very good. He didn't feel tired after going out for a run, but he was more energetic.

When he came back and saw that Huo Ke was up, he asked him to wait for a while, went into the bathroom and took a brief shower, and then went downstairs to have breakfast with Huo Ke.

The breakfast is served in the store, but it is not perfunctory. It is very exquisite and unique. It is a local specialty breakfast in Nanyun. The only fly in the ointment is that the portion is not enough. The two of them felt that it was not enough after eating. Before going out, they went to the bun next door. I bought two buns from the shop and took them with me before I set out on the road.

Their plan for the second day was to go to Qiuyun Mountain near Nanyun.Qiuyun Mountain had no name at first, but it was gradually developed because of a temple with a strong incense on the mountain, and it became a relatively famous scenic spot nearby.In autumn, the mountain is covered with red maples and the forests are all dyed, and it looks like a cloud surrounded by clouds from a distance, so it is named Qiuyun Mountain.

Xing Ye parked the car at the foot of the mountain, and went up the mountain with Huo Ke.The mountain road is not as difficult as Xing Ye imagined, because there are smooth stone steps, so it is not difficult to climb up.Along the way, the scenery was very pleasant. They came at the right time. The golden leaves covered the entire mountain forest and covered the road under their feet.Another feature of Qiuyun Mountain is that there are many water pools. They walked up the stairs and saw at least a dozen water pools, large and small. Many tourists on the mountain like to throw coins into the pools to pray for good luck.

The mountain is not particularly high, but the mountain road built is winding and winding, and they have not yet reached the summit after climbing for a long time.Xing Ye was fine, but Huo Ke was a little out of breath.He is not as fond of exercising as Xing Ye is on weekdays. During these days, he eats, sleeps, and eats very comfortably. He rarely needs a lot of exercise, so this time he climbed the mountain.

Xing Ye sat and rested with him on the big rock by the roadside for a while, then urged him to get up and continue walking.It is not yet noon, and the sun is not too strong. When it is noon, the sun is shining brightly, and it will only get hotter when climbing the mountain.

Huo Ke hasn't had enough rest yet, and wants to dawdle for a while.Xing Ye glanced at him, sighed, and stretched out his hands to him.Huo Ke suddenly understood at this moment, jumped up and threw himself into his arms, turning into a well-behaved cat nestled in the arms of its master.Xing Ye held the cat with one hand, picked up Huo Ke's clothes and put them in the bag with the other hand, and then continued to walk up.

Fortunately, no one was around, otherwise I don't know how many people's eyes would be shocked.

Xing Ye hugged the cat and climbed for a while before reaching the top of the mountain, and then he saw the Hong'an Temple, which was particularly incensed in the guide.The temple is not big, and it is different from other temples with many halls. There are only three halls in Hong'an Temple. The Daxiong Hall in the middle looks a little old, like an old building that has been slightly repaired and refurbished. Very new.

Although it doesn't seem very reliable, the smell of incense is indeed very strong, and thick incense ash has accumulated in the incense burner on the square in front of the temple. The strong incense in this temple is indeed true.

Xing Ye put Huo Ke down and let Huo Ke go around by himself, but he didn't say much, he knew that Huo Ke had his own sense of proportion.Xing Ye took the prepared change and worshiped one by one in the three halls, only to find that Huo Ke was nowhere to be found when he came out. He called Huo Ke several times but did not see him coming out, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

He was about to search around, when a young monk came out and stopped him, and saluted him: "Amitabha, benefactor, my master invites you to go to the backyard to have a talk."

Xing Ye frowned slightly, wondering whether Huo Ke ran around and ran into other people's houses or ran to some forbidden place, but it was useless to think about it now, so he had to follow the little monk to the backyard.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw a gray-clothed monk standing there with Huo Ke in his arms.This man was completely different from the old monk with white eyebrows and beard he had imagined. He was a young man with gentleness and kindness in his brows.Seeing him coming, the man saluted him first, and then handed Huo Ke back to Xing Ye.

Xing Ye thanked him while returning the salute, Huo Ke got into his arms aggrievedly, buried his head in his clothes, and refused to get out again.Xing Ye felt a little strange in his heart, but he couldn't ask now. He thanked this person and planned to take Huo Ke away.

He had just walked a few steps but was stopped by a monk: "Since it is destined, I will give this thing to you."

The gray-clothed monk took out two pieces of red thread from his sleeve and handed them to Xing Ye. Without explaining too much, he smiled, lingered on Huo Ke for a while, turned and left.

There were more and more people when going down the mountain. Xing Ye carried Huo Ke all the way down the mountain, returned to the car, put his clothes and Huo Ke on the back seat, and sat in the car after a while.

Huo Ke had already changed his clothes. As soon as Xing Ye came in, Huo Ke pounced on him, opened his coat pocket and pulled out the red string. After looking at it for a long time, he threw the red string aside angrily: "I just said that this monk must has a problem!"

Xing Ye was still a little unclear, so Huo Ke explained: "I just saw this monk in the backyard. He must have seen that I was a demon. I didn't feel right. I wanted to run, but I couldn't move for some reason. He threw me I picked it up and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I asked the little monk to call you later."

Xing Ye was a little nervous: "Then what did he do to you?"

Huo Ke was also a little confused: "Not really... I feel like he doesn't have any malicious intentions... Then why did he arrest me?"

The two looked at each other, and they both saw bewilderment and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Xing Ye caught a glimpse of the red thread that had just been thrown aside: "What is this red thread for?"

"It's the consecrated red thread for marriage. Before I came here, I checked on the Internet. Hong'an Temple sold the consecrated red thread a few years ago. It is said to be very effective, but it has long since ceased to be used." Huo Ke took the red thread to look at it. He rolled his eyes, "But why did he give us this?"

Xing Ye didn't answer. After a while, he patted Huo Ke's head: "Forget it, don't think about it." He took one out of Huo Ke's hand, pulled Huo Ke's wrist to tie it on him, "put it on first. Well, let’s talk about it if there is a problem.”

Huo Ke stared at Xing Ye seriously tying the red rope for him, and the tips of his ears turned red inexplicably.

Forget it, let's tie it up first.
