The moonlight dragged the stars and opened the curtain of the night, and the stars were dotted on the dark sky, accompanied by the stars and the moon.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on a little bit, the cold air blew away the moisture from the bathroom, and also took away the temperature of Shi Jin's body.

He gathered his nightgown and turned down the temperature of the air conditioner.

Maybe it's because Shi Jin was a little reluctant to go to a place she wasn't familiar with.

After turning No.60 three times on the bed, he sat up.

Rubbing the astringent eyebrows, Shi Jin lifted the quilt.

The hour hand of the wall clock on the wall pointed to 12, and the cuckoo hidden at the bottom of the wall clock popped out, reminding the arrival of late night with the bell.

Shi Jin gathered up her nightgown and opened the curtains.

A light-colored round table is placed on the balcony, and a deck chair is placed beside the table.

Looking from the balcony, you can just see a crescent moon hanging in the dark night.

Shi Jin sat down on the recliner beside the table, her eyes casually fell on her side.

The balcony is not big, except for a table and chairs, there is nothing else.

But the owner obviously paid attention to the layout of the balcony, and put a small white vase on the table, with a few light-colored double flowers in the vase.

When Shijin didn't turn on the lights, the balcony was only shrouded in hazy moonlight, like a misty dream, hazy and cold.

Unknowingly, Shi Jin remembered what Shi Yi said tonight.

He said: Shijin, it's not that you're not used to it, it's that you're afraid.

......Are you scared?

Shi Jin didn't know.

Years of habits have made him forget the original idea. He has adapted to the current life, unwilling to change, and... afraid of change.

Perhaps what Shi Yi said was right.

The hot water in his hand gradually lost its temperature, Shi Jin folded his fingertips and stood up.

"squeak--"

There was the sound of the sliding door being opened from the balcony behind.

Shi Jin's footsteps stopped slightly.

In fact, he shouldn't have stopped.

Behind him is a small balcony, and what can make a sound is nothing more than another villa across an alley.

but......

Shi Jin pursed her lips and turned around.

The wind blows, the clouds move, the night erases the sharp outlines of the trees, the stars and the moon are like hooks, dotted with bustling star spots, as bright as the Milky Way.

But not as good as the person opposite.

The stars are shining brightly, and the moon is shining brightly, none of them can compare to you.

pity--

"Brother Shi?"

It's a pity that he opened his mouth.

Shi Jin silently completed the second half of the sentence in her heart.

The hot water in his hand had completely cooled down, Shi Jin put down the cup and looked at Yu Ci: "What a coincidence."

"It's really a coincidence." Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes was quickly suppressed, and a lingering smile appeared instead: "It seems that we have some fate, and we can meet here."

Shi Jin pursed her lips slightly, and explained: "The publishing house was established, and I followed."

Yu Ci was amused by his eagerness to explain: "I didn't say you followed me, what are you afraid of?"

He tore away the reclining chair on the balcony, and felt that the reclining chair was not clean, so he sent it back: "Your publishing house still has a group building?"

"Yes." Shi Jin nodded, "Once a quarter."

Yu Ci asked casually, "Why didn't I see you participate before?"

Shi Jin was silent.

Seeing this, Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Shi Jin looked up at him: "The last team building was in May."

And he moved in to share the rent with Yu Ci in June.

In other words.

The two didn't know each other at that time, so how could Yu Ci know whether he went or not.

Yu Ci obviously remembered this too. He touched his nose and changed the subject in embarrassment: "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Shi Jin: "Where is going?"

"Team building." Yu Ci leaned forward, resting his hands on the railing casually: "There must be a schedule tomorrow, right?"

If nothing unexpected...

"Autumn Deer Mountain." Shi Jin said.

Chen Yuan's words today kept him in his heart. If it wasn't too late to leave, maybe he would go straight up the mountain tonight.

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Autumn Deer Mountain?"

If he remembered correctly, the itinerary that Xu Qian told him this afternoon was going to Qiulu Mountain tomorrow?

"En." Shi Jin responded, "What about you?"

Tapping the cold railing with his fingertips, the corners of Yu Ci's lips curled up slightly, his eyes smudged with a smile: "Coincidentally."

"I'm also going to Qiulu Mountain."

-

City B is a well-known tourist city, and there are countless scenic spots in the city, and Qiulu Mountain is just one of them.

Compared with other tourist attractions that incorporate local customs, Autumn Deer Mountain is just an ordinary mountain, except that the mountain is greener and the air is fresher, there seems to be nothing special about it.

Therefore, most people who come to City B will not choose to go to Qiulu Mountain.

Except Shijin.

After explaining his whereabouts to Shi Yi and the others the next day, Shi Jin took his backpack and got on the car heading for Qiulu Mountain.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, Shi Jin set off very early, and went out almost at dawn.

So he didn't know that after he left, some unlucky guy who thought he had an appointment with him last night rushed to nothing, and his face was so stinky that it could scare people to death.

Qiulu Mountain is located far away from the urban area.

Shi Jin sat in the rickety bus and swayed along the way for two hours before hearing the words Qiulushan over the horn on the bus.

He picked up his backpack and found that there were five other people who got off at this stop besides him.

They were a family of three and two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. When he looked over, the two men avoided his sight one after another.

The bus restarted, stirring up dust all over the place.

Shi Jin let go of her hand covering her nose, her eyes calmly swept over the two men, and landed on the mountain gate of Qiulu Mountain.

Autumn Deer Mountain is not a paid attraction, you can enter and exit at will.

It's not called a mountain gate, but it's just a big stone standing beside the opened stairs, with the three characters "Autumn Deer Mountain" engraved on it.

Autumn Deer Mountain is tall and dense with trees, and there is only a piece of rich green as far as the eye can see.

Occasionally, a few birds flew over the treetops in the forest, and then disappeared behind the cable car hidden in the forest.

Shi Jin frowned, looked at the series of stairs in front of her that could not see the top, and raised her feet.

He didn't walk fast, and he could hear the conversation behind him who just got off the car with him.

The family of three came to the Qiulu Temple on the top of the mountain. The husband heard from somewhere that the Qiulu Temple was very effective in keeping the house safe, so he took his wife and daughter here to seek safety while on vacation. one time.

The other two middle-aged men kept silent and climbed the mountain in silence, as if they came here purely for exercise.

As expected, there were few tourists in Autumn Deer Mountain. During this journey, I didn't meet any tourists other than a few of them.

In the empty mountain forest, only the footsteps of a few people could be heard.

Shi Jin frowned, feeling like she had overlooked something.

"It's so hot, I don't want to go."

The daughter of the family of three behind her spoke.

The wife is a gentle and patient woman. Faced with her daughter's emotional collapse, she just gently wiped her sweat and coaxed her to overcome the difficulties.

The husband is a little stricter, his voice is a little serious, but he is also persuading his daughter.

The daughter felt aggrieved: "There is a cable car, why do we have to climb it by ourselves?"

I didn't hear what my wife said later.

He finally knew what he had ignored.

cable car!

He turned around suddenly, and as far as his eyes could see, except for the family of three, the two men who had been hanging at the end were gone.

He frowned slightly, and quickly searched the mountains and forests with his eyes, but found nothing.

The three members of the family were taken aback by his actions. His wife patted her chest and gasped: "My little brother, can you help me?"

"It's okay." Shi Jin pursed her lips and asked suddenly, "Do you know how to take the cable car here?"

"The cable car on Qiulu Mountain is not open to tourists." This time it was the husband who spoke: "The cable car is used to deliver supplies to the Qiulu Temple on the mountain, and generally only staff members can take it."

Is that so?

Maybe the two men just now were the staff of Qiulushan.

They did have backpacks just now.

Facing the worried eyes of the family of three, he loosened his eyebrows: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The wife smiled and said, holding her daughter's hand: "Baby, have you rested enough? Let's continue climbing."

The little girl with braids nodded.

So the family of three continued to climb.

Shi Jin frowned, and fell two steps behind, not far behind her husband.

The husband glanced at him, then slowed down to talk to him: "Isn't the little brother a local?"

"No." Shi Jin shook her head: "I'm here to travel."

The husband gave him a surprised look.

Shi Jin caught his gaze: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." The husband shook his head: "I just feel a little surprised. Generally, tourists don't come to Qiulu Mountain when they come to City B. Although Qiulu Mountain is famous, there are never many tourists in fact. They are basically locals nearby. Come and play."

"That's right." The wife picked up her husband's words: "Actually, there were quite a lot of people who came to Qiulu Mountain before, but after the Qiulu Nunnery was moved to the mountain, there were fewer people coming."

With Qiulu Temple, fewer people come?

This does not seem to be in line with common sense.

The husband saw his doubts and said with a smile: "You are not a local, so you probably don't know much about the customs here. The customs here are a bit special. Only temples are accepted here, not temples, so... "

Shi Jin understood.

Translated into the vernacular, it means that only monks are accepted, not nuns.

but......

Shi Jin looked at her husband.

Her husband spoke before him: "We are not locals, we just settled here, and we don't value these customs."

The wife also nodded: "It doesn't matter whether it's a nun or a monk, we just want to make peace of mind."

After inquiring about the desired news, Shi Jin accompanied the family of three for another walk, said goodbye to them when they stopped to rest, and went up the mountain first.

When approaching the top of the mountain, Shi Jin finally saw someone other than them.

His eyes turned around on the people in front of him, and then dropped again.

There are four people in total, three men and one woman, all of them are not young, and the youngest must be 35-[-].

Hearing movement behind them, those people turned their heads and looked at each other.

Shi Jin pretended not to see their gaze, and continued to climb the mountain quietly.

The four stood there for a while, then followed suit.

"It's so hot, I knew I wouldn't come here, it would be nice to go to the underground river."

"It's already here, don't complain, it's almost there, let's go up and rest."

"What kind of broken strategy are you looking for? You said that the autumn deer mountain has beautiful scenery. After climbing this way, I haven't seen any colors other than green."
