The lotus lake is very big, and it took only one morning for the boat to walk around.At noon, the boatman parked the boat beside a row of restaurants built by the lake.The wine shop is built on the edge of the lake, half of which is on the shore and half of which is extended on the water. There are more than a dozen of them in a row, which is quite interesting to see.In addition to this, there are also several boats with the word "wine" parked on the nearby lake. The boatman said that those are also wine shops.

Yang Fan and the others picked a family at random and let Huafang approach.The waiter of the restaurant had been waiting on the bridge for a long time, and when he saw the painting boat approaching, he ran forward graciously and led Yang Fan and the others into the restaurant.It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a place to eat. It is a two-story bamboo house, which looks very elegant and clean.Yang Fan and the others picked a box facing the lake, and asked the waiter in the shop to order the dishes.There are so many of them, there are two tables in the box to sit down, and they order a lot of dishes.The restaurant served the food quickly, and it didn't take long for the dishes to be served on the table, followed by the local special wine, the lotus wine.

With Yang Fan's approval, even the two girls who don't know how to drink poured a glass in front of them.Lotus wine is a kind of distilled wine with high alcohol content. People who like to drink think it is delicious, but those who don't drink only think it is spicy and pungent.With Lin Mozhu sitting aside, Yang Fan had a few drinks, but after the meal he took three jars of lotus wine and left.

Relying on the sea to eat the sea, relying on the lake to eat the lake, most of the dishes they eat at noon are locally sourced, in addition to various fish and shrimp in the lake, there are also special ingredients such as lotus root and water chestnut.They also ate what the boatman called drunken prawns. Live prawns were marinated with lotus flower wine, soy sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic.At the beginning, everyone was a bit resistant to eating raw shrimp, but after trying it, they found that the taste of drunken shrimp was soft, glutinous and sweet, and it was very delicious.

After drinking and eating, the boat left the restaurant and sailed into the lake again.After the afternoon rain break, the sun was covered by thick clouds, revealing a glimmer of light.Yang Fan hugged Lin Mozhu and leaned on the boat, blowing the breeze, and he also felt sleepy.While they were enjoying the rare quiet time, the sound of the piano could be faintly heard in the distance.

At first Yang Fan thought he heard it wrong, but after a while the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer.Not long after, through the tall lotus leaves, you can see a two-story gorgeous painting boat appearing in the field of vision.Just wondering which big family came to swim in the lake on rainy days like them, when I heard the boatman say to them in an admiring tone: "That's the sixth young master of the Qi mansion.

If there hadn't been some inquiries after coming to Shuicheng, Yang Fan wouldn't have understood who he was talking about as far as the boatman was concerned.

"This Mr. Liu Liu often comes to swim in the lake?" No wonder Yang Fan guessed so, he was so sure that he didn't see the boatman in the boat, the other party must come often.

Sure enough, the boatman nodded and said: "The sixth young master is highly educated, and he is a well-known talent in Linshui City. He often comes to the lotus lake to meet friends, recite poems and paint pictures."

Yang Fan let out an "oh" and didn't continue to ask.Seeing that he was not interested, the boatman had no choice but to take back the words that he wanted to continue praising Master Qi Liu with regret.

The two painted boats traveled farther and farther away, and gradually, the sound of the piano could no longer be heard.

The sun came out from behind the dark clouds, and the warm sunshine came down lightly, and the weather was finally clear.Leaning in Yang Fan's arms, Lin Mozhu quietly listened to the sound of water flowing, feeling that the world was peaceful.When the boat docked and ended today's trip to the lake, Lin Mozhu was still a little bit reluctant to part.

In the next few days, while Yang Fan was busy with the team integration, he also took Lin Mozhu on a tour of the mountains and rivers.Woke up early this morning, seeing that the weather was fine, Yang Fan discussed with Lin Mozhu and decided to go to Ling S Temple.Lin Mozhu believed in gods and Buddhas, and every year he would go to Lingquan Temple in Fuyuan County to ask for a talisman for his family.Yang Fan wanted to take Lin Mozhu to Lingxia Temple to eat the vegetarian food that was said to be very good, and then to enjoy the peonies.

It takes about half an hour by carriage from Lingxia Temple to Linshui City, which is not too close.The weather is fine today, and there are many people who come to burn incense, worship Buddha and enjoy flowers. When we arrive at the resting pavilion at the foot of the mountain, we can already see a long line of carriages.The temple is on the top of the mountain, and pilgrims have to get off the carriage at the foot of the mountain and then go up.Of course, if you don’t want to climb the steps, you can pay for a sedan chair to be carried up.Yang Fan was worried about Lin Mozhu's physical strength and wanted to rent him a sedan chair, but Lin Mozhu wanted to go by himself.Seeing Lin Mozhu's insistence, Yang Fan had no choice but to give up, took his hand and began to climb the mountain.

Today following Yang Fan and the others were Qingyu, Liu Dayong and Qi Ming. Among the group, Lin Mozhu was the weakest in physical strength. Everyone was worried about him, and everyone couldn't walk fast.

Yang Fan held Lin Mozhu's hand all the way, paying attention to his expression all the time.Knowing that Yang Fan was worried about him, Lin Mozhu felt very embarrassed when they climbed the mountain holding hands.Especially when I occasionally met pedestrians on the road, Lin Mozhu was very embarrassed when they stared at the hands they shook hands in surprise.Yang Fan's attitude was very natural. If others wanted to see it, he would show it to them openly, without any twitching expression.Over time, Lin Mozhu was also affected, and got used to the sight of others, and was no longer so restrained.Moreover, with Yang Fan pulling him in front, climbing the mountain was really much easier.

The two held hands and walked up the mountain in such a generous way. Passers-by were surprised at first when they saw it, but seeing the natural and generous demeanor of the two, they put aside their prejudices and thought that maybe it was no big deal.but this

What they think is only the majority, there will always be some discordant voices, showing that they represent the side of morality and justice.

"Indecent!"

The voice was not low, and Yang Fan, who was walking a few steps ahead, could clearly hear it.Yang Fan didn't take the seat right at first, thinking that the other party was talking about him and Lin Mozhu.But the people behind caught up, the mountain road was narrow and they were afraid of blocking the way, so Yang Fan and the others stood on the side of the road as before, letting the people behind go first.

It was a group of three young men dressed as scholars, and one of them showed contemptuous expressions when he met Yang Fan's gaze, and said, "It's really an insult to gentleness!"

This time there is no need to doubt, it is them who are talking about.Lin Mozhu subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand because of these words, but Yang Fan held it tightly and he didn't twitch.

A handsome scholar who was the leader of the three seemed to disapprove of his companion's actions, and stopped him by saying, "Brother Li Zan..."

But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a cold voice: "Some people are dirty, so naturally everything is dirty."

This was what Yang Fan said to Lin Mozhu.

The leading scholar was stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face.As for that "Brother Li Zan", his face turned livid immediately, and he shouted in displeasure, "You actually insulted us! You don't even know what it means!"

Yang Fan ignored him and pulled Lin Mozhu to continue walking up.That "Brother Li Zan" got angry and scolded: "What an arrogant person, a villain who doesn't understand etiquette, justice and shame!"

Seeing that Yang Fan didn't intend to stop, he stepped forward to stop him, "Don't leave! You insulted me, you must apologize

! "

Yang Fan squinted at him, like a clown, and asked coolly, "Are you talking to me?"

"Of course I'm talking to you!"

"This is strange, you and I have never met before, why would I insult you?" The implication is that if you didn't talk about me, how could I talk about you?

"Brother Li Zan" argued: "You just clearly..."

As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by the handsome scholar in the lead: "Brother Li Zan, don't be rude!"

This "Brother Li Zan" seemed to be quite scrupulous about him. Although he still looked aggrieved after being stopped, he still kept his mouth shut.Seeing that he didn't continue, the leading scholar bowed to Yang Fan, and then said apologetically, "I apologize to both of you for my companion's rudeness just now, and I hope you will forgive him for his unintentional mistakes."

Yang Fan was a little surprised, but the other party took a step back, so he didn't continue to mock that "Brother Li Zan". He first nodded politely at the scholar, and then said with a smile, "This young master speaks too seriously."

Seeing that Yang Fan was not messing around, the other party breathed a sigh of relief.The two gave way to each other, and Yang Fan ignored the still unhappy expression of "Brother Li Zan", and politely made a "please" gesture to the leading scholar, letting him go first.The other party gave way symbolically, and led his companions up first.After they had walked a short distance, Yang Fan and the others vaguely heard the unwilling voice of "Brother Li Zan": "Brother Yun Qing, why did you apologize to that person..."

Yang Fan was not interested in hearing what others said about them, so he led Lin Mozhu and the others on their way slowly behind.A few people didn't pay much attention to the episode that happened before, but because of this incident, Lin Mozhu felt more at ease with Yang Fan holding his hand.

Yang Fan and the others walked slowly, and when they reached the gate of Lingxia Temple, the sun had already risen in midair.

Lingxia Temple was built on the mountainside, and five halls were built winding towards the top of the mountain. The magnificent temples are hidden in the tall and verdant forests, and the solemn chanting sounds are floating on the whole mountain.At the gate of the temple, there are already many pilgrims, holding the smoky incense in their hands, kneeling devoutly in front of the ten-meter-high Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue is carved from a huge stone, and the solemn Sakyamuni sits on the lotus pedestal, looking down at the world with compassion.

Such a big Buddha statue, even Yang Fan was shocked at first glance.Lin Mozhu immediately let go of the hand he held with Yang Fan, put his palms together devoutly, and said: "Amitabha^"

Seeing Yang Fan and his party, a young novice came forward from the side, said "Amitabha", and asked: "Several benefactors, do you want to offer incense or listen to scriptures? Today's lecture is Master Kongming."

Yang Fan was not interested in these, he only looked at Lin Mozhu and let him make the decision.Lin Mozhu hesitated, and said, "Let's offer incense first."

Hearing this, the little novice recited "Amitabha Buddha" again, and then said to the others: "Almsgiver, please follow me." Following the little novice, Yang Fan and the others walked around several halls, and Lin Mozhu finished offering incense, He also stuffed a 50 tael silver note into the merit box.After burning incense, they went to the backyard where the pilgrims lived under the guidance of the little monk.

"Several benefactors, the place to eat is in the fasting hall in the front yard." He sent several people to the door of the guest room and told

After confirming the specific location of their fasting hall, the little novice left.
