Fog River

After nearly a month of low temperature and rainy days, Beicheng finally ushered in the first sunshine of this autumn on the day of the autumnal equinox.

It just so happened that I climbed the mountain today, and everything was just right.

Zhou Guocheng was already waiting below, and after Chi Shu copied the PPT to the USB drive, he carried the bag on his back and went downstairs.

The car was right by the door, so there was no need to bother looking for it. Chi Shu opened the co-pilot and sat in.

Zhou Guocheng was alone in the car, Chi Shu put the bag away and asked, "Where are my mother and the others?"

"Qinwen drove them there first," Zhou Guocheng said jokingly as he turned the steering wheel in casual clothes today, "I'm a brother, I'm here to pick you up by car."

Speaking of this, Zhou Guocheng swept towards Chi Shu's usual parking space while reversing the car, and asked, "Do you love your car? Why didn't you drive it?"

As soon as the car was mentioned, the smile on the corner of Chi Shu's mouth couldn't be suppressed, he licked his lips and said, "I'm tired of stopping there."

"Where did you park your car?" Zhou Guocheng murmured suspiciously, but then he immediately reacted and said with a smile, "This method is fine, no wonder I have to come to pick you up. According to my opinion, your car probably Can't come back."

Chi Shu, who was poked in the center of his mind, smiled and said nothing, and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Bian Yan.

——Chi Shu: I won’t pass in the morning, and I’m going to climb the mountain with my mother.

Zhou Guocheng glanced at the end of his eyes, and heyed strangely: "I'll go, are you tired of reporting? You two are progressing so fast?"

"It's coming soon." Chi Shu was not afraid of Zhou Guocheng watching, and put away the phone after sending the message, "The boss is so cold, I hooked it for so long and only put a thread on it a few days ago. "

"High cold?" Zhou Guocheng gave Chi Shu a shocked look, "I'm afraid you've been fooled by someone playing tricks on you, don't you know how long it takes on average for those ex-men and women friends who hate him to catch him?"

At this point, Zhou Guocheng didn't continue. The reminder has already been given, and it depends on Chi Shu's own will whether to say it next.

Chi Shu's face, which was full of smiles just now, suddenly tensed up, and he nestled into the seat and remained silent without speaking.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit dull for a while, but neither of them felt embarrassed, this was the space left for each other.

After driving all the way, when the car was about to turn into the gate of Lushan Scenic Area, Chi Shu suddenly said, with a very serious tone: "Da Zhou, you think about it for me, but I want to take this person home. For me, he is a treasure that is good everywhere. I just cherish it after I get it. I don’t have the mind to think about what masters he has experienced before. You can think he is not good, but look at me Don't say it, okay?"

Zhou Guocheng didn't answer, he drove the car into the parking space, turned off the engine and looked at Chi Shu: "I'm really surprised, what kind of ecstasy did San'er give you here, I haven't seen you being so protective before. Which one did you pass?"

"That's why I said I fell down," Chi Shu took out a cigarette and lit it, with an indescribably low tone in his tone.

"Well, I have seen the power of an old tree blooming today." Zhou Guocheng took a cigarette from Chi Shu's cigarette case and lit it, and asked while breathing out the smoke, "By the way, you have seduced people for so long. Did he roll you a cigarette?"

Chi Shu paused his smoking hand and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask your boss if the smell of cigarettes is really as evil as they say," Zhou Guocheng flicked the ashes into the ashtray of the car, "What do you mean, just take a puff and follow the fairyland It's like, very cool, very floating."

Chi Shu recalled the cigarettes that day. He couldn't remember how they tasted, but the feeling...was very refreshing and wafting.

Also fucking sweet.

Chi Shu responded with a low smile, patted Zhou Guocheng's head, opened the car door and said, "One day when I become a family member of the boss, you can smoke as much as you want, and float as you want."

"Okay," Zhou Guocheng got out of the car and hooked Chi Shu's neck, "It would be great if you could save me some cigarette money then."

Chi Shu held his neck with his backhand, and joking with him, walked towards the address Jiang Huiling sent.

The mountain climbing this time was originally an appointment for two old ladies to have fun, and the two families did not bring many people, only Zhou Guocheng and his wife Jia Chishu.

When the two arrived, Jiang Huiling was talking and joking with the two old ladies on her mobile phone, coaxing them from ear to ear.

Zhou Guocheng walked over and called his wife, stopped the man's shoulder and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

"Yeah, let's share with my rough old men too." Chi Shu sat down and put his mother's shoulders on his shoulders, and greeted Zhou's mother and Jiang Huiling.

"It's nothing, I just watched a few videos of puppies," Jiang Huiling replied, with the gentleness of Jiangnan in her tone, "Doesn't Xiaotuanzi want to raise a dog, so let the old ladies help with it?" an idea."

Chi Shu raised his eyebrows: "Does Xiaotuanzi still want to raise a dog? Hey, by the way, why didn't Xiaotuanzi come today?"

"It's Thursday, class is on." Mother Zhou said with a smile, "Why don't you remember the date as a teacher."

Chi Shu laughed helplessly: "My high school teacher is open all week, and my head is dizzy in class every day. I just remember the days when I can rest during the monthly leave."

Hearing what Chi Shu said, my mother cast her worried eyes, but her mouth was still unrelenting: "Did you stay up late again recently? Look at the dark circles under your eyes, they look like pandas."

"Hey, I'm busy." Chi Shu brought this matter up with a smile, and pulled his mother to stand up, "Didn't you come to climb the mountain, what are you talking about at the bottom of the mountain?"

Zhou Guocheng was also clever. Knowing that Chi Shu didn't want to be nagged, he hurriedly made jokes and set off to climb the mountain together.

Lushan has been developed very well in recent years, and surrounded by three first-class universities, its reputation is getting bigger and bigger. It is a must-see attraction in Beicheng.

But because it was the off-season, there were not many people here. Chi Shu and the others easily booked tickets on their mobile phones, and then scanned the code to enter the scenic spot.

"Where are you two planning to go today?" Zhou Guocheng asked the two old ladies standing at the fork in the road.

Mother Zhou pointed to the road on the left: "Mr. Zhu and I plan to go to the ancient temple to worship Buddha today, let's go this way."

Before Chi Shu's mother retired, she was a teacher at S University. She taught high-level majors and philosophical principles.

Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Chi Shu almost died of laughter, and he put his arms around his mother's shoulder and joked, "Hey, Mr. Zhu, why do you teach philosophy like this? You don't want your materialism."

My mother glared at him, and said as she walked: "Materialism must still be adhered to, but this ancient temple culture is also part of our culture, and we have to be in awe. What's wrong with the visit, do you have an opinion?"

Teacher Zhu's rhetoric is one set of one set, Chi Shu really can't compare.

"No, no, I don't dare to have a problem with you. Bye, I will accompany you today." Chi Shu replied directly, half-supporting his mother's shoulders and leading her up.

The first half of the road is quite flat, but the second half is steep as hell, especially near the ancient temple. Climbing up is like climbing a ladder to the sky. Chi Shu, a person who sits in the office for a long time and does not exercise, almost passed the half way up. Sit down straight away.

That week, Guo Cheng was a person who sat in an office every day and didn't like to exercise, let alone the two men. In the end, no one in her 60s could climb as fast as the old lady in her [-]s.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the temple, Zhou Guocheng didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he sat down on the bricks under the tree, panted and said: "I will never climb again, really, let's take the cable car or book a Doesn’t the scenic spot car smell good to him?”

"The old lady wants to crawl, what can you do?" Chi Shu was a little more particular, took out a tissue and wiped it, watching Jiang Huiling and the two old ladies shopping there.

It's not a new gadget, just some red strings or amulets with engraved words for safety.

Chi Shu looked at the shops that opened side by side and asked, "When did this store open? I don't remember when I came last time."

"It's not open, it's just some temporary small shops," Zhou Guocheng drank his saliva, "Isn't the National Day coming soon, and the small shops in the Lushan area are all open."

Chi Shu responded, walked over after a while, squeezed into the middle of several people and asked, "What did you see?"

"I bought you a safe wooden sign." Mom handed the wooden sign to Chi Shu, "Look, it happens to have your last name engraved on it."

Chi Shu took the wooden sign and took a look at it. It was dark walnut color, with the word Chi on the front and the traditional body health engraved on the back.

My mother continued: "Look, there is another amulet seller over there. I'm going to look for it later and see if I can find one with your name on it. I bought it together and dipped it together when we pray to Buddha later." A little Buddha light."

"There are a lot of people over there, I'll go find it," Chi Shu patted his mother on the shoulder, and walked towards the shop at the entrance.

This shop has a lot of things. There are all kinds of amulets, wooden plaques, and walnut bracelets from the surrounding shops. Chi Shu squeezed into the crowd and searched for a while on the board according to the initials of his name, and soon found the one with him. Small gold amulet with nickname.

Chi Shu took one and asked the boss, "How much is this one?"

"Five yuan," the boss took the chain, threaded the ends, and pointed to the QR code next to his finger, "Scan here with WeChat and Alipay."

This is considered very cheap in the price tag of the scenic spot, and Chi Shu had nothing to bargain for, so he turned on his phone and scanned the code, but when he lowered his head to put the phone away, a wooden sign with a word on it suddenly passed by the end of his eyes.

Chi Shu subconsciously turned his hand and grabbed there, and the cold wooden sign fell into the palm of his hand.

There are red strings hanging from one end to the other, with a side character on the front and the traditional Chinese words "all the best" engraved on the back.

The only difference from Chi Shu's is the surname.

Chi Shu didn't think much about it at all, holding up a wooden sign and asked the boss, "How much is this?

The boss replied: "Ten yuan."

Chi Shu quickly scanned the code, stacked the two signs, held them in his palm and walked out.

"Have you bought it yet?" Seeing Chi Shu approaching, my mother raised her head and asked.

Chi Shu responded, but didn't hand it to her. He brought the matter over in a sloppy manner, and then followed Zhou Guocheng and his family into the ancient temple.

When they arrived, they happened to meet the abbots chanting scriptures, which could be heard several temples away, buzzing and lingering in their ears, suddenly solemn.

It may be because I am old, or it may be because my physical condition has not improved in recent years. My mother was a little panicked and followed Zhou's mother to worship.

Zhou Guocheng leaned over with his palms folded, and whispered, "It's fine if you say my mother, but why your teacher Zhu also started to worship these things..."

"Because people have to have something in their hearts." Chi Shu murmured while looking at the golden Buddha statue while clutching the sign in his hand.

"No way, you have been brainwashed too?" Zhou Guocheng said in astonishment, "Didn't you always ask for these things?"

Chi Shu glanced down at the two red ropes in his hand, did not answer, followed the figure of the previous person into the hall, knelt upright on the futon in the center, put his hands together and began to pray.

The upper, middle, and lower floors of the Buddhist temple hall are dedicated to the six major temple gods in the east, south, west, and north, and the eight Bodhisattvas who have achieved the cause and wish. Chi Shu all worshiped them one by one with three kowtows.

Chi Shu never worshiped Buddha, but today he wanted to worship once.

He prays with pious faith, and will also love slowly with pious faith.

There is no other reason, just because that person is Bian Yan, the Bian Yan he is going to take home.
