Tao You still couldn't help but speak for Song Yimian.
Anticipating what Tao Youhui would say, Hong Xiqi curled her lips and stopped expressing her opinion. She knew that no matter what she said, it would be difficult to change Tao You's mind. This probably means that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In her eyes, Song Yimian, who was average in everything except studying well, was perfect in everything in Tao You's eyes.
——————————————————————————
On Sunday morning, thick white fog lingered in the air, making it difficult to see things half a meter away. It was rare for Tao You to get up before dawn on weekends. When she went out, she did not disturb Father Tao and Mother Tao, who were still sleeping.
Last week, when Tao You was taking a break during the training of smashing to death, she saw on the Internet that the Jingling Temple in Tianjing Peak in the western suburbs of Weicheng was particularly effective. She scorned it at the time and didn't even click in to read the post. She has never believed in this. More than ten years of study have taught her that believing in science is the last word.
But when she saw a similar post again a minute later, and when she was about to scroll down, Coach Tan sneezed heavily and loudly next to her. She was so startled that she looked up subconsciously, and opened it with a flick of her finger. That post.
When she lowered her head and saw the photo of Jingling Temple for the first time, Tao You's eyes were completely attracted. A voice in her heart broke free and kept telling her: She must find time to go there.
Then go once. It just so happened that she hadn't seen much of the western suburbs yet, so she just took it as mountain climbing to exercise.
It just so happened that Tao's father and Tao's mother had to work overtime today, and there was no training in the afternoon. She was staying at home alone, so she might as well take this opportunity to go to Jingling Temple.
The western suburbs are more than an hour's drive from Taoyou. She was afraid that there would be too many people going up the mountain if she went there too late. She went to bed very early last night. When she went out in the morning, many breakfast shops were not open yet. She was secretly glad that she stuffed two small buns into her schoolbag when she went out, so that she would not go up the mountain hungry.
In the early morning of winter, the sky was still slightly dark. After a night of cold wind and low temperature, it was particularly refreshing. The road was empty. Not even a car passed by for half an hour. Only the traffic lights were running normally. When crossing the road, there was no need to pay attention to the vehicles on the left and right.
The sidewalks on both sides were covered with a layer of fallen leaves, blowing everywhere in the wind, and sanitation workers in orange overalls were already sweeping the roadside with big brooms. In an instant, the only sounds left were the rustle of the broom and the sweeping of the ground, and the rustle of the wind blowing through the air.
Tao You hugged herself tightly with her hands, looking very bloated in five pieces of clothing. She lowered her head and faced the cold wind that stung her face, and hurriedly walked to the nearby bus stop. Fortunately, the air is still moist, so my nose doesn't hurt when I breathe.
——Fortunately, I put on extra clothes when I went out. It was a bit ugly, but keeping warm was more important.
She didn't want to have a cold and be unable to participate in the game at a critical juncture like the league, because of her behavior of not hurting the enemy but hurting herself a thousand times, so her efforts over the past year would have been in vain. , not to mention other teammates will be involved. This kind of self-defeat without fighting before the game is too frustrating.
She arrived at the deserted bus stop in a hurry, then remembered that she hadn't reached the departure point of the bus yet. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone to call a taxi, and finally arrived at the bus station. While she was waiting to check in, the bus to the western suburbs was about to leave.
"Little girl, hurry up, come here, your two cars are leaving soon." The aunt at the ticket gate waved to Tao You, and while helping to open the emergency exit, she said to the other side with a walkie-talkie, " Lao Li, eh, please wait another minute for the train to start, there is a little girl here."
Tao You thanked you and caught up with the bus in the last few seconds. Perhaps it was too early and there were not many passengers on the bus. Tao You's seat was on the right side of the front row by the window. The driver turned his face. You can see her.
"Little girl, is this your first time taking a bus?" While waiting at the traffic light, the driver turned around and chatted with Tao You, speaking in a thick local accent.
Tao You took a bite of the bread and nodded. She had never been good at answering strangers' chats.
The driver obviously didn't notice her discomfort and continued to ask, "Are you going to the Jingling Temple in the western suburbs?"
"Yeah." Tao You nodded again.
"That temple is very efficacious. Many people have gone there recently." The uncle driver started the car and kept talking. "I just went there last month. My wish has basically come true. I plan to find time to go and fulfill my wish." .”
——So effective? !
Tao You quickly raised his eyebrows to express his shock.
"But if you go so early, Jingling Temple may not be open yet. No one goes there at this time." The driver reminded me.
Tao You finally said, "I'm afraid there will be too many people here soon."
The uncle driver nodded in agreement, "That's true. The last time I went there was a lot of people. Fortunately, the mountain is not very high."
"But next time you don't have to get up so early to come to the bus station to catch a bus. This is the bus's phone number. Next time you want to go to the western suburbs, just call this number and wait at the bus stop along the way. I'll be there along the way. I’ll pick you up when I get there, so you don’t have to get up so early.”
He said and handed Tao You a postcard. Tao You took it and stuffed it into his bag without looking at it carefully. He had no intention of getting up so early to go to the western suburbs again.
——————————————————————————————
At the foot of the mountain, Tao You put away her cell phone, lifted her backpack onto her shoulders, looked at the endless gray stone road in front of her, took a deep breath, and white mist formed around her mouth and dissipated in front of her eyes.
The uncle driver was right. Apart from Tao You, there was no one at the foot of the mountain. She climbed up.
The slopes on both sides of the road are covered with deep, tangled bushes and tall sun-shading trees. You can't see the bottom at a glance, giving people a feeling of desolation and fear. Fortunately, the sky was already turning slightly white. Tao You clutched the strap of his schoolbag tightly with both hands, staring down at the stone steps under his feet, trying his best to ignore the trees on both sides.
——At the top is Jingling Temple, which is a Buddhist pure land. At least hundreds of people walk this road every day, and it is very clean. It was nonsense to talk about monsters and monsters, and it was impossible for any animals to suddenly jump out of the bushes.
The more Tao You tried to convince himself, the more strange and bizarre images appeared in his mind. In addition, the wind blew, the trees rubbed against each other, and subtle sounds were made from time to time. There were also birds chirping on the treetops.
Tao You's spirit was tense, her heartbeat kept accelerating, and her steps also accelerated. She didn't even pay attention to the stone benches on the road for people to rest. But the more she wanted to reach the top of the mountain quickly and end the road, the more she felt that the road had no end.
I don't know how long it took, but she was already sweating profusely, steam was constantly coming out, and the broken hair on her forehead was sticking to her scalp. But now she was too timid to stop and was busy on her way, and she couldn't care about it at all.
——Why do I have to come here before dawn? If I wait until the sun comes out, this road should be quite beautiful. I really want to go home! jj.br>
Just when Tao You thought she had been gone for a long time, she took out her phone and realized that she had only been gone for less than fifteen minutes. Fortunately, when she raised her head, she could vaguely see the roof tip of Jingling Temple on the top of the mountain, so she gave up the idea of retreating and climbed to the top of the mountain in one go.
The top of the mountain is a relatively flat open space, with many bamboos on both sides of the hillside. It is no longer as deep and scary as the road.
Jingling Temple is large and peaceful, standing in the middle of the flat ground. Just looking at it can make people calm down. At this moment, the door is still tightly closed. Tao You finally breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, sat down on a bench nearby, took off his coat and began to wipe away his sweat.
The terrain is advantageous and there is no obstruction as far as the eye can see. A ray of orange began to appear in the eastern sky, and the air was filled with the unique freshness of the mountains. Tao You stood up and walked to the edge of the mountain. When he looked down, he saw a whole area of houses at the foot of the mountain covered by fog. The road to the top of the mountain was also surrounded by white mist.
——This mountain must be several hundred meters high.
Tao You was putting his hands behind his back, thinking about what to ask for, when he heard the heavy sound of the door being pushed open behind him. She looked back and saw a young master in heavy monk robes, yawning, walking out the door with a big broom, raising his hands and stretching.
"Hey," he saw Tao You beside him and was startled for a moment. He scratched his green scalp and looked at the sky. "I didn't get up late. The sun hasn't risen yet. I must not have gotten up late. Otherwise, the master would scold me again. Me."
"Donor, the Jingling Temple is not open yet, why are you here so early?" The young master stood with one hand raised in front of him, bowing his head slightly and leaning forward.
Tao You responded in kind, "I was worried that there would be too many people, so I came a little early. I'll sit outside for a while and the door will open later."
The little master stood the broom by the door, turned around and ran back without saying a word.
Tao You didn't know what he meant, so he sat down on the bench and didn't dare to move.
——You’re not trying to drive people away, right? If I had known I wouldn't have come so early, it would still be so cold.
After all, there is a vertical distance of several hundred meters from the bottom of the mountain, and the temperature at the top of the mountain is obviously much lower. Tao You rubbed his hands and did not forget to move his feet to prevent his body from cooling down.
After a few minutes, the young master ran back and said to Tao You, "Donor, I told the master that you should come in first and wait in the empty meditation room next to it."
He turned sideways and stood in front of the door, making a gesture of invitation. Tao You didn't shirk much. It was too cold outside. He thanked him and followed the young master into the temple.
——It turns out that he went to find his master. He shouldn't think so bad of people.
I don't know if it was because of coming to the temple, but Tao You became cautious. He felt that he could no longer speak casually and speculate on others to avoid saying the wrong thing.
"It's right here." The young master smiled and opened the door. There was still warmth from the heater inside. "This is the room of a female benefactor who came to pray for her family and stayed temporarily in the temple. The other empty rooms don't have heaters. I I have already asked her, and she agrees that you can sit here for a while, just don't touch her things." He stood at the door and did not enter the room. "There is a heater next to the bed. You can use it by pressing the switch. .I’m going to sweep the floor first.”
"Thank you." Tao You bowed slightly to the little master again to express his gratitude, then put his schoolbag on the ground, turned on the heater, and sat down at the table.
