Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

As the car approached, I saw the front window being pulled down, and then a woman's head popped out.

The "slow" flag in his hand waved in the wind.

"Squeak~~"

As the harsh sounds of brakes and pressure relief were heard, the crowd waiting for the bus on the roadside surged.

As soon as the car door opened, Li Muhua squeezed in first, relying on her small stature. Then she quickly found an empty seat and sat down, blocking the seat next to her by the window tightly.

"Sister, here, here!"

Li Muhua waved quickly until she saw her third sister Li Yujie. As she approached, Li Muhua moved to the window seat.

As for the other members of the Li family, they were not so lucky. Only Li Qinghua managed to grab a seat, which he gave to his mother. The other three had to stand.

Only after sitting down did Li Muhua have time to look around the interior of the bus.

I can only say it is simple, very simple!

There are almost no excessive patterns or decorations on the car body, only simply painted seats and ceiling, and gray windows on the side of the car.

However, the surroundings were very clean, and it was obvious that the driver and the conductor took good care of the car.

"Six people, go to Baiyun Temple!"

"Eight stations, four cents, that makes a total of thirty-two cents from you."

"Here—the ticket is for you!"

Listening to the voices of Xu Yan and the conductor coming from the front seat, Li Muhua roughly calculated that public transportation is still quite cost-effective these days!

Because according to Xu Yan's salary of 42.5 yuan a month, that means she can take this bus more than a thousand times.

But if we calculate based on the bus era, one thousand multiplied by two or three, that means Xu Yan's salary is only two or three thousand?

Li Muhua shook his head immediately after figuring out the rough result. He was still thinking in the wrong way. Prices were still quite high these days. Xu Yan earned 42.5 yuan a month, which was the highest in the compound. If we only talk about female comrades, her salary was the highest in the compound.

If we compare it with the income in later generations, it wouldn't be too much to say that Xu Yan earns over ten thousand yuan a month, right?

If you spend all your monthly income of over 10,000 yuan on bus commuting, you might not be able to get off the bus for a month.

Cars stop to rest and people get on and off.

Soon it was time to get off the bus. Xu Yan stood up and greeted a few people, and the six people from the Li family walked towards the rear of the bus together.

It was then that Li Muhua noticed that there was a ticket inspector in the back seat of the car. After confirming the ticket stamp in Xu Yan's hand, Li Muhua and his companions waited until the car stopped before getting off the car.

Li Muhua felt a little curious when watching the scene just now. They all had the same tickets, so how did the ticket inspector tell the stations for each of them?

So as soon as he got off the bus, he asked for the invalid ticket in Xu Yan's hand.

There was a group of numbers on the top of the small ticket. Li Muhua looked at the other tickets in his hand and found that they were all consecutive numbers.

Then this should be the time when the ticket was purchased that can be verified. As long as it is less than the last ticket issued before the last round of terminal stations, it should not be counted.

Below this set of numbers are two big words: 4 cents, which is the face value or the amount paid by Xu Yan.

The remaining part at the bottom of the ticket was divided into twenty-seven grids of 3x9. On the tickets in his hand, holes were poked in the positions 3 and 11. It seemed that these were the codes for getting on and off the platforms.

After reading it once, Li Muhua finally figured out how the ticket inspector could verify so much information from this small ticket.

"How clever! You can come up with this idea to prevent others from evading tickets." Li Muhua couldn't help but exclaim.

In his later life, when he took the bus, he would just pay two yuan in coins or scan the money with Alipay, so he had never seen this kind of paper ticket. So after understanding the reason, he naturally felt novel and amazed.

Li Yujie, who was walking beside him, turned her head when she heard this.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Li Muhua nodded, and then asked, "How do you know I'm looking at how to use this ticket?"

"I was curious before, so I looked at it like you. It's not difficult to guess." Li Yujie said lightly at first, and then looked at Li Muhua with some surprise.

"But I didn't expect you to be able to figure it out on your own. I was just about to talk to you about it."

"I'm telling you, sister, how can you look down on others like that?" Li Muhua shouted, shaking the ticket in her hand, "How can such a simple thing stump me?"

"I'll figure it out if I use my brain a little bit!"

"Yes, yes, my little brother is the smartest, it's just that he doesn't focus on studying." Li Yujie coaxed with a faint smile and rubbed Li Muhua's head.

Li Muhua quickly shook her head to avoid the clutches of the devil.

After playing around for a while, when I looked up again, I saw the archway of Baiyun Temple in front of me, with the words "Holy Land of Cave Heaven" written on it!

The pilgrims were hurrying under the archway, all heading towards the temple.

The six members of the Li family quickly merged into the crowd and walked towards the mountain gate in front.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate cave, Xu Yan, who was walking in front, took the lead and touched the little stone monkey on the stone wall of the cave entrance. The people behind him lined up and did the same. Even Li Muhua was no exception, and he stood on tiptoe to reach out and touch it.

There are two old sayings in the city.

First, the Baiyun Temple is unchangeable and the three monkeys will never meet.

Second, the gods had no trace, leaving only the stone monkey in the temple.

So the stone monkey became the incarnation of a god, and everyone who came to the temple had to touch it.

As for the stone monkey that the Li family members just touched, it is the first of the three famous stone monkeys in Baiyun Temple. As long as pilgrims come to the temple, they will definitely not miss the opportunity to touch them, as it means good fortune, wealth and longevity.

The Li family would come to participate in the temple fair almost every year during the first month of the lunar year, so naturally everyone knew the specific locations of the three stone monkeys.

Having just touched the stone monkey at the entrance of the cave, Xu Yan led everyone to the screen wall next to it, where the second stone monkey was located.

After bending down and touching each other again, the three of them turned around and officially stepped into the mountain gate.

As soon as you enter the mountain gate and walk a dozen steps, you will see a small stone bridge. Although it is called a bridge, there is no flowing water under the bridge. Instead, there is a huge copper coin hanging, and an exquisite small bell is hung in the hole of the copper coin.

This is another characteristic of Wo Feng Qiao.

When pilgrims come here, they can exchange money for talisman coins, and then throw the talisman coins at the small bell on the middle coin hole. As long as the bell rings, it means that the pilgrim will be blessed with good fortune and wealth.

At this moment, several people were standing in front of Wofeng Bridge, tirelessly throwing copper coins into the money holes.

Seeing them standing on tiptoe and carefully putting coins into the coin eye, Li Muhua just found it a little funny. This was not like smashing the coin eye with a copper coin!

This is clearly a case of him only caring about money!

Naturally, everyone in the Li family knew how to play. Every time there was a temple fair, the children of the Li family came to Baiyun Temple, and their favorite activity was to smash the money.

As long as you can hit the target, you will definitely get cheers from the onlookers and praise from your parents.

As expected, as they approached, the eyes of several children all fell on Xu Yan, even Li Yujie was no exception, expecting her to quickly exchange coins.

Needless to say.

Xu Yan naturally hoped that her children would be blessed with good fortune. Moreover, she came here today to fulfill a wish, so she was not stingy. Xu Yan walked directly towards the old Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged beside Wofeng Bridge.

"Hello, Taoist priest, can you please change me into five cents?"

As Xu Yan spoke, she turned around and looked at the people from the Li family. In this way, everyone would get ten pills, and who would hit the target would depend entirely on fate and strength.

The old Taoist priest was thin, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and a snow-white beard hanging vertically on his chest. He looked to be an elderly man, at least in his sixties or seventies.

But those eyes were indeed clear and bright, just like those of a young man.

He just glanced at the Li family members, then quickly took five small pieces of copper coins strung together with a straw rope from the side. His movements were clean and neat, and he didn't look like an old man at all.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, my family all look auspicious and blessed. We are blessed with good fortune and will surely win the prize."

When Xu Yan heard this, her face suddenly lit up with joy. She shook hands and thanked him repeatedly. Then she distributed the copper coins handed over by the Taoist priest to Li Muhua and others, with each person having a stack in their hands.

Li Muhua held the copper coin in his hand and looked thoughtfully at Xu Yan's empty hand.

"Mom, don't you vote yourself?"

"Silly child, as long as you are lucky enough to win the bid, then doesn't that mean I, your mother, am lucky too?" Xu Yan rubbed Li Muhua's head again.
