Caterpillar has been standing by and trying to invite everyone to play at their house. Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi didn't want to disturb them. But Caterpillar said: "My mother knew that Jin Lily and his friends were coming, so she killed the chickens and cooked them."

It's up. If you don't go, it will break her heart."

Jin Lily looked at Mu Yi and said cautiously: "How about, brother, we all go over and have fun."

Mu Yi looked at Jin Lily's somewhat pitiful eyes and couldn't bear to refuse. After all, they had their whole heart in mind. So he bought some seasonal fruits and milk and followed the caterpillar to their house.

Caterpillar's mother was very happy when she saw Jin Lily and her friends coming to play at home. They were giving out melon seeds and peanuts, and getting candies... Sister Mao was also carrying stools and wiping the table...

"Oh, Golden Lily. You just came here to play. What else do you want to take? How embarrassing."

"Honey, I didn't bring anything with me. I came to see you. I haven't seen you in almost a year."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for almost a year. I really miss you and Liu Ruyi. I heard from Caterpillar that you are now working in the township government. Your leader Xigui is really good. He is good at organizing and assigning exams.

We no longer have such an exam in Mian'an. We only have the civil service exam, and the number of seats is very small. We only recruit a dozen or so people a year. My caterpillar is not good at reading, so I took two exams and failed in both.

The competition is really too great. I don’t know what to do.”

"Mom, why are you saying all this? Jin Lily and the others finally came here and they got motion sickness again. Let's wait for them to rest first."

Mu Yi was a little sensitive and pretended to be casual. "Caterpillar, how did you know that Jin Lily was motion sick?"

"Oh. Everyone in our class knows that. Those ninety-nine turns in Xigui will make people faint even if they are not motion sick, let alone motion sick. Every time Jin Lily comes to school, she feels like she is seriously ill.

She was very annoyed. She was also afraid of being motion sick and vomiting on her master's car, so she didn't even dare to eat. By the time she came to school, she was already suffering from hypoglycemia."

"Oh. No wonder not."

"It's all your fault. I said I wouldn't eat. You expected me to eat a little in the morning. As a result, you vomited out all the food you ate."

Everyone, chatted for a while...

Madam Mao and Sister Mao were busy and cooked a large table full of dishes for everyone. The free-range chicken raised by Madam Mao is delicious. Not only is the meat tender, but it is also slightly chewy, which you can tell when you bite it in your mouth.

It is a sporty and toned chicken. Especially Mao Lao Ni uses the local pepper and sesame method. Just smelling it in the nose, the rich fragrance is already mouth-watering. When you eat it in your mouth, it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth.

It feels salty and faintly sweet, and finally becomes spicy and numb. The more you eat, the more flavorful it becomes. The more you eat, the more you want to eat it. Even the bones are filled with fragrance, until you are willing to chew the meat on the bones.

Rotten, sucking up all the soup and flavor, then giving up.

Everyone praised Mao’s chicken for being delicious.

"Mao Mao, your skills are enough to open a chicken shop. We have already thought of a name for you. Let's call the caterpillar 'Pepper Chicken'. How about it?"

"Hahaha. People must think this chicken grew up eating caterpillars."

"Hahaha. It's a pun. It means that the chicken grew up eating insects, and it also means that it is the 'pepper chicken' of the caterpillar family."

"Yeah. That's right, you should apply for a trademark patent. Then you can create a brand. You can also imitate others and open a brand franchise store. Just collecting the franchise fee will make your hands cramp when you count the money."

"Baby, don't make fun of me. Unless you come here, I am not going to do this for you. Others don't have this good taste."

…

After dinner, Yu Mengtian and Zhang Dongmi wanted to go back to the county town early so that they could find a place to stay. After a day, Mao Mao became anxious.

"You're already here. What hotel are you going to stay in? You can stay here. We have three beds. My sister will live with me later. Jin Lily and this eldest sister, you will stay in my sister's room. These two eldest brothers

Let’s live in Caterpillar’s ​​room. Caterpillar will stay at his second uncle’s house. Tomorrow morning, after you get up and have breakfast, let Caterpillar take you to Lingshan Temple to play.”

The Caterpillar's home is a typical Mian'an wooden building with a certain quaint charm. There is a bamboo forest in front of and behind the house, making it a quiet and quiet place. After some discussion, we all felt that it was a good idea to refuse Mao Mao's kindness.

It didn't feel right, so I decided to stay for one night. This made Mao Mao very happy.

After playing for a while, other students arrived at Mian'an County, and Caterpillar told Jin Lily that other students were waiting for her in the county. So, everyone took a ride to the county. Not to mention, the economy of Mian'an is more developed than that of Xigui

Some. Without saying anything, it is obvious that you can get a taxi anytime and anywhere.

When they arrived at Songcheng, the county seat, the old classmates were particularly friendly when they met. Jin Baihe also drank and chatted with them, reminiscing about their friendship as classmates, and told many interesting things about that time. This made Mu Yi, Zhang Dongmi and Yu Mengtian envious.

.

Because their school had meat to eat, they used it to make pigs, sheep, rabbits, etc., which they took anatomy classes on, and finally turned them into barbecues, braised pork, and rabbits with fresh peppers. They also have vineyards,

In addition to picking and eating it now, you can also make wine...

That school was like Muyi's, where everything but iron was steel. You could neither eat nor drink... Although Zhang Dongmi also graduated from Haichang Normal University, he studied physics. Yu Mengtian studied accounting in Chengdu.

None of our classes are as lively as Jin Lily’s.

Considering that the four of them were going to Lingshan Temple to climb the mountain tomorrow morning, they didn’t try too hard to persuade them to drink. Anyway, it was enough to express their feelings in place.

When we returned to Caterpillar's house, it started to rain. Everyone only wore shirts when going out, so it felt very cold. The kind-hearted Mao Mao took out Mian'an's winter artifact, the brazier, and lit charcoal for everyone.

After warming up the fire for a while, the caterpillar's mother went to share a bed with Sister Mao, Jin Lily and Yu Mengtian went to sleep in sister Mao's bed, Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi slept in the caterpillar's bed. The caterpillar went to sleep in a neighbor's house.

At night, it was windy and rainy. Mu fell asleep as soon as he fell down. Zhang Dongmi couldn't bear the cold, so he went to the living room and moved the brazier to the bedroom, and closed the doors and windows tightly. That's good,

The two of them fell asleep in a daze.

If Sister Mao hadn't been so careful, she got up at night to check the door and windows, and found that the brazier in the living room was missing. She also saw that the door to her brother's room was closed, and Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi couldn't wake up no matter how hard they shouted, so she boldly opened the door.

, opened the window for ventilation, and moved the brazier out of the bedroom. When they found out at dawn, Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi reported to the Lord of Hell early.

When Sister Mao was shouting outside the door, Mu Yi heard someone shouting "Brother Mu" and "Brother Zhang" in a daze. However, he was dizzy, palpitated and flustered. He wanted to get up, but

My limbs were weak and I couldn't move at all. My first reaction was that I might have been poisoned by carbon monoxide. But I clearly remembered that when I came to sleep, the brazier was placed in the main room. There was no brazier in the bedroom. Suddenly, my eyes went black.

Passed out...

As soon as Sister Mao turned on the light, she saw that Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi had rosy faces. She quickly patted their cheeks and pinched them, slowly waking them up.

After some tossing, Jin Baihe and Yu Mengtian got up when they heard the noise. They came over to take a look and found out that something had almost happened to Mu Yi and Zhang Dongmi. Everyone was thankful that this was the blessing of Bodhisattva. Mao Mao

She even burned incense and lit wax, knelt down and thanked the Bodhisattva. Although she didn't say anything, everyone knew that she had caused trouble to Mao Mao and frightened her.

Especially Zhang Dongmi blamed herself very much.

"What a fire! I almost sent my two brothers to the west."

"Go to sleep. We have to climb a mountain tomorrow. It's not a big deal. Just be more careful in the future."

In fact, after the scare last night, even though it was just a false alarm, it still frightened Mu Yihou so much that he woke up early. He tried hard to recall the time when his father took him to Lingshan Temple when he was a child, but except for the mountains in his memory,

, mountain stream, stone staircase road, the rest is that the old monk in the temple gave him a fruit offering. I really can’t recall the rest.

It was daybreak. Under the leadership of Caterpillar, Mu Yi and his party rented a van and headed straight to Lingshan Temple. Going up to Lingshan Temple, it was no longer what it used to be. A cement road went straight to the foot of the mountain, which saved a lot of leg strength.

.

After getting off the car, the caterpillar did not go hiking with everyone.

"We come here every Spring Festival to play. We went up today and you just have fun. Call me when you come down and I'll pick you up."

Everyone left the van master's phone number and agreed to pay double the current chartered fare and call him when we got down the mountain and he would come pick us up.

After securing the pick-up car, everyone said goodbye to the caterpillars and headed towards Lingshan Temple excitedly. There was a horse vendor on the road who invited everyone to ride a horse. After asking about it, the price was quite expensive. Everyone decided to walk up the mountain.

After climbing for more than an hour, we actually arrived at the Shanmen Archway of Lingshan Temple. When I was a kid, we didn’t charge tickets, but now we start to charge tickets. We queued up to buy tickets.

Lingshan Temple is the center of the entire Lingshan Mountain. In the center of the front of the temple is the newly built mountain gate. The main building is the Mahavira Hall, which is spacious and grand with a solemn structure. The front hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni in the middle, with eighteen Arhats on both sides. The back hall is dedicated to the founder of Lingshan Temple, Master Yang.

Facing the big Buddha is the seated statue of Veda Dharma Protector. With the main hall patio as the center, there are numerous houses and corridors on both sides, connected vertically and horizontally from front to back, left and right, and integrated into a group of ancient buildings. Outside the mountain gate, there are

Six vigorous and tall ancient pines, as thick as three or four people could hug each other, are at least several hundred years old. They are the most important symbol of Lingshan Temple.

As for the origin of Lingshan Temple, it is said that Patriarch Yang traveled to Mian'an during the Qing Dynasty. He heard that Dengtai Mountain was the place where the ancient Buddha of Randen practiced practice.

. Patriarch Yang lived in Qinglongtan under a thatched roof, continuing his practice and preparing to build a temple. At that time, he had about a hundred Mian'an disciples.

He also said that all the Skandas in the world are in a standing posture, but only the Skandas in Lingshan Temple are seated. That is because Lingshan Temple was originally clean, and the Bodhisattvas stood eagerly to protect the Dharma. Behind Lingshan Temple, there is a beautiful

Natural Park. There are ancient towering trees growing there. There is also a very famous place in the local area, but it is not known to outsiders - Lian Sanhai. That is, on a mountain, there are three lakes flowing quietly. It is said that on the mountain

There are also Ganoderma lucidum, thin springs, and stone caves left by predecessors. There are also "fish" in the lake that are said to be able to climb trees. The lake and sea are relatively deep. However, no one has done anything about the lake yet.

During the investigation and research, we only learned about it from the mouths of some elderly locals, but we never saw the true appearance.

The visit to Lingshan Temple was quickly finished. Muyi and the others followed other tourists to the place where tourist souvenirs are sold. The tourist souvenirs here are said to be "opened", so don't worry about their prices. Muyi

He spent a lot of money to buy two silk-embroidered mandarin duck knots. One for him and Jin Lily. The other one was given to Zhang Dongmi and Yu Mengtian.

After leaving the mountain gate, I called the master and asked him to estimate the time and wait at the foot of the mountain.

"Are you going back to the county town or to Xigui?"

"How do you know we are from Xigui?"

"Listen to your accent."

"What's the difference?"

"There are two directions between the county town and back to Xigui. If you want to go back to the county town, I can take you there directly. Otherwise, if you go to the county town, you still have to turn back. If you go now, you can still catch a ride back after eating on the roadside.

The last train to West Turtle.”

"Do you still have a car now?"

"In the past few days during the Torch Festival, there have been extra buses from Haichang to various counties."

"Okay. Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome. I hope you'll come and play again next time."

The four of them stopped calling Caterpillar. When they arrived at the bus station, they found a restaurant. One of them ordered braised pig's trotters, then a vegetarian dish and a soup. They ate to their heart's content. They took a break and went to the toilet.

, the last train is here.

The four of them got on the last train and found that the seats were still very spacious. After almost half of the bus was alighted in Mian'an, Jin Baihe and Mu Yi sat in two seats next to each other in the middle of the carriage near the door. But Yu Mengtian could have sat next to them.

Although they were sitting together, she sat on another seat by herself. Zhang Dongmi was too embarrassed to follow her.
