simple is the best

Inconclusive discussions last night were postponed until morning to make a decision.

Luo Yan and Shi Yi went to the locals to investigate, while Ji Lin went to the mountains to investigate first.

But Luo Yan did not agree with Ji Lin's proposal to go up the mountain alone, but only asked him to explore around the foot of the mountain, and then go up the mountain together in the afternoon after gathering at noon.

"We all know your ability, but sometimes the more you believe in your ability, the more careless you will be. So you can't go up the mountain alone, don't take the risk yourself." Luo Yan looked at Ji Lin and nodded, then let go With a softer tone, he said, "Fang Jing is still waiting for you to go back in Fude. Although the two of you are not related by blood, it can be seen that he is very dependent on you."

"Really? He's very clingy to me." Ji Lin smiled when he heard this, recalling Fang Jing's anxious voice on the phone last night, he couldn't help but wonder if he took the initiative to call today.

Luo Yan nodded, "It can be seen that he likes you very much."

But being a boy is a bit too clingy, Luo Yan thought about it but didn't say it out, but told Ji Lin a few more words, telling him to be careful.

But when Ji Lin was really standing at the bottom of the mountain, he didn't abide by the agreement with Luo Yan, but stepped up the stone road up the mountain.

Feng Chuan's climate is humid and cool, and the moss at both ends of the stone slab is too slippery, so he can only step on a small part in the middle.

Ji Lin explained in his heart as he walked: I am not good at geography, but I don't know where the foot of the mountain ends.

As he thought this way, his steps became more brisk.

It was cooler in the mountains than outside, Ji Lin shuddered and rubbed his exposed shoulders with goosebumps.

After climbing a mountain, I didn't find anything strange.Like ordinary mountains, there are a lot of reptiles and breeze here.He even made eye contact with two fat squirrels.

But these squirrels didn't hide immediately, they stood in place and looked at Ji Lin for a while before continuing to hide their pine cones.

Ji Lin rubbed his chin, wondering why the squirrels in the mountains are so courageous, they are not afraid of people.

He continued to walk up, and the stone road became narrower and narrower, and Ji Lin's physical strength began to be a little bit behind.

Bending over and supporting his knees, he took a few breaths, and looked up at the stone road that stretched upwards.

Why didn't you see the shadow of the temple?Could it be that I went the wrong way?

Thinking about it, Ji Lin raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. He checked the time on his phone, but found that there was no signal, so he couldn't help but click his tongue.

He usually doesn't like sports, but after climbing the mountain for so long suddenly, his legs are shaking a little, and he doesn't know if he can walk normally when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

Ji Lin climbed up again, and found that the mountain scenery was still the same, and he retreated in his heart.

He turned around and walked down, the speed at which he descended the steps made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Ji Lin looked around and found that no one else was there, only a few birds flew over his head, so he used his ability to float his body at ease, grabbed the vines hanging down from the mountain and pulled his body, along the way up the mountain. Go back the same way on Qingshiban Road.

Just after drifting for a while, Ji Lin heard his cell phone ringing. He took it out and saw that it was Luo Yan's number.

"Hey?"

Luo Yan paused for a moment, and then asked cracklingly: "Where did you go just now? Why can't I contact you for half an hour? Did you go up the mountain privately?"

"I just walked around the foot of the mountain, and there was no signal when I walked in. That's why I couldn't receive your call." Ji Lin opened his eyes and said nonsense.However, the sound of the mobile phone is a bit stuttering from time to time. It seems that the signal in the mountains is indeed not good.

"Then where are you now? We'll be going down the mountain soon. Do you need us to pick you up?" Luo Yan's voice was still very anxious.

Hearing this, Ji Lin frowned, and accelerated his downward speed, he had to get back down the mountain before Luo Yan arrived.

"I'll transfer out right away, you don't need to worry, you don't need to pick me up." Ji Lin said.

He hung up the phone and drifted down the mountain at full speed. When he returned to the first bluestone slab he stepped on, Luo Yan's car hadn't arrived yet.

Ji Lin heaved a sigh of relief, shook his hands and feet and continued to walk down. He walked a little further along the foot of the mountain, preparing to pretend that he came back from the other side of the mountain.

It's just that after he walked for a while, he heard the sound of leaves shaking, but there was no wind at this time, Ji Lin stood there without moving, his body tensed up, and there was no movement after waiting for a long time.

Looking up carefully, I found two children sitting on the branches of the big tree beside me.

He breathed a sigh of relief, crossed his arms and looked at the two children staring at him in the tree, and said lightly: "Climb so high and be careful not to break your neck."

One of the children still had a basket hanging around his neck, and said in a local dialect: "If you mess with Hong Kong, I won't fall."

A child next to him seemed a little scared, and quickly said, "We're coming down now."

Ji Lin folded his arms under the tree and waited for the two children to come down. The child with the basket slipped when he got down from the tree and was about to fall to the ground. Ji Lin stepped forward and stretched out his hand to make him float.

From the perspective of others, Ji Lin reached out to catch him.

The child jumped in fright, broke away from Ji Lin's hand and jumped aside.

"Be careful when you come down next time." Seeing that he was alive and well, Ji Lin calmed down and told him to continue walking to the other side of the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the child at the side ran a few steps to catch up with him, "Brother, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Ji Lin stopped and turned to look at them.

The child grabbed a handful of fruit and handed it to him, and smiled with his blushed face up, "This is for you."

"Thank you." Ji Lin took it, he thought for a while and asked, "You two often play under this mountain?"

The child with the basket hanging around his neck nodded, but looked at Ji Lin curiously and said, "What are you doing up the mountain? Are you still taking that road? No one takes that road."

Ji Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he asked, "Why is no one going that way?"

"No one has walked that road for a long time. You can't go half way along that road. Didn't you find it?" The child looked at Ji Lin for a while, and suddenly realized: "You don't even have half of the road. Come down right away?"

Ji Lin: ...

"But that road is not easy to walk, and it won't work, brother, you can come down earlier." The child next to him saw Ji Lin pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Brother, are you also here to sketch? "

also?Ji Lin followed his words and said, "Have you ever seen someone who sketches like me?"

"That's right, we met an uncle who came here a month ago when we were just on vacation, but why didn't you bring anything with him carrying the drawing board?"

Ji Lin took out his mobile phone and searched for Liang Yan's photo and said, "Because I'm only here today to find a suitable place, and I'll bring my things when I've found it, otherwise it would be too tiring to memorize it."

He handed Liang Yan's photo to the two children and asked, "Is this the uncle you saw?"

"It's him. He also asked us two how to get to Fayu Temple, saying that he came here to travel and enjoy the life of the Zen temple."

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's my senior brother, and he recommended me to come here this time. Do you know how to get to that temple? I thought I was going to take the road ahead, but it wasn't ah."

"A little further along this road, you can see the road up the mountain, and you can see the temple when you go up to the end." The child scratched his face and said, "I haven't been to the temple for a long time. .”

Ji Lin asked, "Do you often go there?"

"It doesn't count, there is nothing interesting in the temple, but during the Chinese New Year holidays, my parents take it there and give some Lai to the monks there."

Ji Lin nodded, and was about to ask a few more questions when the phone rang again. He smiled at the child and picked up the phone.

Luo Yan's car had already arrived and asked where Ji Lin was.

The two children walked out behind Ji Lin, and Ji Lin said to them with a bit of embarrassment: "My classmate is here to pick me up, don't tell him I'm starting to go up the mountain, or you'll let them know that I'm going the wrong way Be sure to give me some sarcasm."

"Brother, don't worry, we won't talk about it."

Luo Yan watched Ji Lin come out from behind the mountain with two children, his frowning brows loosened, and he stepped forward and said, "Why are you so slow?"

"I chatted with these two children. They said that they met Liang Yan a month ago, and they came here to sketch with a drawing board." Ji Lin said.

Luo Yan was a little surprised. He looked at the two children, smiled slightly and said softly, "Did you watch him go up the mountain?"

The child nodded, "That's right, he said he was here for tourism, and that the temples in the mountains must be very quiet, so he came here to avoid trouble."

"Did you see him later?" Luo Yan asked.

child shaking his head

Luo Yan asked a few more words, and then let the two children go back first, while Ji Lin was washing the fruits picked from the tree with the mineral water in the car.

Shi Yi leaned on the back seat and groaned and said he was uncomfortable, Ji Lin stuffed a red fruit and gagged him.

The three got into the car, Luo Yan asked while driving, "Did you find anything at the foot of the mountain today?"

"There are two roads to the mountain. One road has been abandoned and no one has walked it. I heard that there is no road in the middle of the mountain. There is also a road that leads directly to the temple. Also, the signal in this mountain is not good, and it may be deeper. The phone is useless, you have to find another way."

Luo Yan listened and nodded, Shi Yi leaned back and gnawed on the red fruit and said, "This thing is quite sweet and delicious."

"Then what did you ask today?" Ji Lin asked.

Luo Yan said indifferently: "This Fayu Temple existed before the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the war, the monks took in many people. So after so many years, the local people still send some oily rice, melons, fruits and vegetables during the Chinese New Year. Go, although the incense is not very popular, it is not a place that no one cares about."

"During the Hungry Ghost Festival, there will always be people going up the mountain to the temple to deliver things, so we have to act quickly to resolve this matter, or it will be in the news."

Ji Lin nodded, leaned on the back seat and touched his forehead, "Then follow the previous arrangement and go up the mountain in the afternoon. Have you found a local guide?"

Luo Yan said: "Because I was worried about special circumstances, there was no guide, so it was just the three of us going up the mountain."

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows, and found that Shi Yi in the back seat had no objection, so he closed his eyes and said, "That's how it is."
