ordinary human life

"I see." Gu Tao whispered.

I was excited last night because of the appearance of my deceased mother, so I didn't think much about it.

After the night passed, he calmed down, feeling like his world view had been subverted.

He himself is engaged in scientific research and is a firm supporter of atheism.

But the facts were right in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.

However, many scientists are Christians, and even like to study theology in their later years.

There is a saying that the end of science is theology.

Maybe it's true.

Gu Tao turned on the car audio casually, and a soft singing sounded in the car.

In the singing all the way.

The Songzi Niangniang Temple has finally arrived.

Chapter 412 Homecoming Gifts

I don't know why, temples like to be built on mountains.

Songzi Niangniang Temple is no exception, although it is at Lindaokou.

But it's actually just the name of the entrance at the foot of the mountain.

Behind Lindaokou is a mountain called Fulin Mountain.

It is said that this mountain used to belong to a wealthy local man named Gu Fulin.

The vegetation on the mountain is dense, there are many trees, and the resources are very rich.

However, Gu Fulin was a very stingy person, and he closed the mountain and banned hunting and logging, which caused complaints from the nearby villagers.

In short, this is a story of a black-hearted rich man oppressing the people, which is very common.

However, the ecology of Fulin Mountain is indeed very good.

Many trees are hundreds of years old, and the trees meander from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, lush and lush.

Only one path winds up, hence the name of the forest crossing.

Because the Niangniang Temple is very effective, the foot of the mountain is very lively.

Not only has a dedicated parking lot, but also a street market the size of a football field.

In addition to vendors selling all kinds of incense candles, amulets, and idols, the most popular ones are all kinds of food.

After all, people who come to burn incense are mortals, and incense cannot fill one's stomach.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here." Chen Hongli was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect it to be so well built now. I came here when I was in school. It's so desolate." Gu Tao was also very surprised.

"Are you going to burn incense in the temple? Do you want a few bunches? It's cheap here, but the ones in the temple are very valuable." At this time, a woman selling incense came to solicit business.

"Do you bring your own incense in the temple?" Chen Hongli asked.

Because many temples, in order to generate income, prohibit tourists from buying incense outside the temple.

"Of course I brought it in, otherwise I wouldn't be selling it here, would I?" said the woman selling incense.

"How do you sell the incense? Let me tell you, if the temple doesn't take it in, I'll return it to you later." Chen Hongli said.

"Okay, if you don't bring it in, you can take it back and return it to me." The incense seller said straightforwardly.

Then introduce the fragrance to them.

For a while, incense sticks, incense sticks, incense sticks, and so on, made the husband and wife dizzy.

Finally, according to the introduction of the incense woman, the two bought several bunches of incense and went up the mountain.

Because I came earlier, there were not many people on the way up the mountain.

Also because I came early, the mist in the forest had not completely dissipated, adding a bit of ethereal immortality to the whole mountain.

But because of this, the road looks a little wet and cold.

"I knew I would bring an extra dress, but I didn't expect it to be so cold." Chen Hongli rubbed her arms and said.

"It won't be cold if you walk around."

As Gu Tao said, he was about to take off his coat and give it to Chen Hongli, but Chen Hongli stopped him.

"Let's go faster, and it won't be cold when we move."

Even if they speeded up, they walked for almost 10 minutes before arriving at the Songzi Niangniang Temple, but it was really not cold, and they were sweating.

Although the Songzi Niangniang Temple is not big, it is decorated resplendently because of the strong incense.

Yellow silk cloth is hung under the eaves, and the huge incense burner in front of the door is surrounded by fireworks.

Half of the forest is filled with the smell of sandalwood.

There are already many believers in front of the temple, but it is extremely quiet.

They all paid homage to the empress of sending children respectfully.

Chen Hongli looked into the temple through the lingering smoke, and saw a kind-hearted woman sitting in the center of the temple gate.

She is holding a chubby doll in her hand, and there are several bare-bottomed children under her feet, either rolling, laughing, or climbing...with a naive look.

When Chen Hongli looked away, out of the corner of her eye, she saw an old man with the appearance of a Taoist priest standing at the gate of the temple.

Wearing a wide robe, he stared at the worshiping believers with a smile on his face.

But there is a pair of hanging eyes, giving people a sense of fierceness.

As if noticing that Chen Hongli was looking at him, the Taoist stared at her, making Chen Hongli quickly lower her head in fright.

……

"This place is really hard to find." Looking at the bustling crowd in the square in front of him, He Sihai expressed emotion.

It was almost noon before they reached the forest crossing.

"But I didn't expect there to be so many people here, and there are food for sale, Wanwan, are you hungry?" He Sihai asked Wanwan who was pulling.

Wanwan was looking around curiously, but she shook her head when she heard the words, she ate a lot in the morning, and she still doesn't feel hungry.

But He Sihai himself was a little hungry.

"Eat first, and we will go up the mountain when we are full." So she took Wanwan to a stall selling fried skewers next to her and bought some fried skewers.

Wanwan hugged the frog's small water bottle and drank a few sips.

Then he held it up and handed it to He Sihai.

"Hey~"

"What's wrong? Give me a drink?" He Sihai asked.

Along the way, I saw the little guy holding a small kettle and drinking non-stop, and finally thought of him.

but……

Wanwan shook her head, then said, "There's no water..."

"Uh... have you finished drinking the pot of water?" He Sihai took it and shook it, but it was empty.

"Mom said, drink more water..."

"Well, you are really an obedient boy."

He Sihai looked around and saw that there was a seller of freshly squeezed juice next to him, so he asked the boss to squeeze some juice for him to drink.

Wanwan happily took it, then slung it on her shoulder, and kept it for drinking in the afternoon.

"This is for you." He Sihai picked up a bunch of fried pumpkin balls and handed them to her.

This is sweet, and He Sihai deliberately didn't ask the boss to make it spicy.

Wanwan said she wasn't hungry, but she ate a lot along the way with He Sihai, and finally couldn't eat anymore, so she hugged her small water bottle and tasted it carefully, not daring to drink more.

"Let's go."

He Sihai wiped his hands with a paper towel, then crumpled them up and accurately delivered them to the trash can far away.

"Young man, do you want to buy incense?" He Sihai just took Wanwan a few steps forward when he was stopped by a woman selling incense.

"Don't buy it." He Sihai bypassed her and said.

"Are you going to the temple?" asked the incense woman.

"Correct."

"Since we are going to the temple, how can we not burn a stick of incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless us?"

"The one enshrined here is the Empress of Songzi, why should I beg her?" He Sihai said a little speechlessly.

"Young man, you can't say that. As the saying goes, when you see the Buddha, worship the Buddha, and burn incense in the temple, it's not surprising that there are many people." The women selling incense tried their best to sell.

He Sihai was so pestered by her that he couldn't help it, and finally spent 10 yuan to buy a bunch of the cheapest incense.

"You are young, you really know how to live." The woman selling incense praised.

In fact, he probably scolded He Sihai for being stingy in his heart.

He Sihai ignored her, but asked her: "Is the mother-in-law on the mountain really effective?"

"Of course, otherwise, would there be so many people coming all the way?" asked the woman selling incense.

"Then if I burn incense and make a wish to the mother-in-law, will it surely come true?" He Sihai asked, shaking the photo box in his hand.

"Of course, it can be realized." The incense woman said casually, then turned around and stopped another pair of believers who wanted to go up the mountain.

"Let's go, I'll go to the mountain to burn incense for the mother-in-law." He Sihai pulled Wanwan and said to the temple hidden in the forest.

The concubine who sent the child would definitely be happier seeing him give gifts to her door.

Chapter 413: I Am Peach God

He Sihai pulled Wanwan and walked up the mountain with the crowd.

But walking halfway, Wanwan stuck out her little tongue and panted heavily.

Then he looked at He Sihai with such "=￣ω￣=" eyes.

"What do you want?"

"I can't walk anymore." Wanwan said cutely.

"Hmm~" Wanwan opened her arms.

"You're really welcome, are you the boss or am I?" He Sihai hugged her helplessly.

In order not to disturb the Empress Songzi for the time being, He Sihai and Wanwan did not go up the mountain in a strange form.

Unexpectedly, Wanwan couldn't keep up with her physical strength, and she couldn't walk halfway.

What else can He Sihai do, he can only hug her up.

"hiahia, thank you boss..."

In fact, holding her, He Sihai walked faster instead.

Otherwise, in order to take care of her short legs, He Sihai would slow down instead.

It was almost noon when He Sihai arrived at the temple, and many people were preparing to go down the mountain.

He Sihai looked around and found that this was the most gorgeous small temple he had ever seen.

Although it is not big, it is resplendent and resplendent. Although it is less solemn, it is magnificent and gives people a sense of nobility.

He Sihai carefully looked at the statue of the concubine in the temple.

The statue is very delicate and colorful, it seems that someone should clean and take care of it frequently.

He Sihai put Wanwan down and was about to light the incense stick in his hand.

Wanwan hugged his leg, buried her head on him, and trembled all over.
