Gu Jinhe asked Xu Cheng, Shuhua Shumo and others to follow Xie Hengzhi and never leave his side.

Xu Cheng felt a little worried seeing Gu Jinhe was alone, as there were too many pilgrims at the Canaan Temple and it was Gu Jinhe's first time here.

But Gu Jinhe felt that she was an adult and she had been here in her previous life, so it was impossible for her to get lost, so there was no need to worry about her safety.

Xu Cheng felt relieved temporarily when he thought that there were still people from the Xie family following him in secret.

Everyone knows that the most common things to climb when going to a temple are stairs. Not long after, little Xie Hengzhi could no longer climb them.

But no one would help him in a place like this, his cousin's wife told him seriously.

This is a sacred place and must not be offended. You must climb the stairs step by step and not let others do it for you.

Xie Hengzhi was very sensible and didn't make a fuss. He nodded obediently and slowly walked up the stairs by himself, but his speed was obviously slower.

As he slowed down, everyone else's pace slowed down as well. After a long time, my cousin's wife let Gu Jinhe go up first, and told her to start worshipping from the first hall and not to ignore the Buddha statue.

Gu Jinhe wanted to laugh when she heard that, but as she stood on the steps that were obviously very old, with the sound of bells drifting in the breeze and the faint smell of incense at the tip of her nose, she didn't want to laugh for any reason.

Xu Cheng looked at Gu Jinhe's back and frowned slightly. He turned his gaze and saw Gu Feiwan also going up. This time his brows were frowned even tighter. He lowered his head to look at Xie Hengzhi who was slowly climbing the stairs, and his brows were so tight that they could kill a mosquito.

Gu Jinhe's speed was much faster than Xie Hengzhi's.

It didn't take long to climb to the top of the mountain. There were many bushes along the way, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

Autumn has arrived, and there are many fallen leaves on the ground. Occasionally, a breeze comes, blowing the leaves up and spinning, then slowly falling down.

Gu Jinhe looked at the falling leaves and somehow thought of the osmanthus tree on that street in Jiangcheng. The osmanthus flowers had already withered by this time.

Speaking of which, she remembered that there were small potted osmanthus plants in the Gu family's hall and the old lady's yard.

She once heard by chance from the old housekeeper that the old lady felt that the scent of osmanthus was a bit strong, so she did not plant it in the yard. But because Gu Jinhe liked it, she transplanted a small osmanthus potted plant and placed it in the hall.

The old lady's concern for Gu Jinhe was everywhere that she couldn't see, but Gu Jinhe didn't notice it in her previous life.

"Boom!"

The ancient, distant and long-lasting bell sounds came layer by layer from the rooftops, treetops and wind.

Gu Jinhe closed her eyes and listened quietly. She remembered Fu Huaiyuan saying that the bell of Canaan Temple was a rare artistic treasure. Usually, the bell would only ring on New Year’s Eve and the eve of the Chinese New Year.

So the bell that rang twice from time to time was not the bell that Fu Huaiyuan mentioned.

But the sound is also very nice, melodious and loud, which makes people feel a sense of tranquility and far-reaching peace in their hearts.

After her ears quieted down, Gu Jinhe opened her eyes and looked at the solemn and dignified hall in front of her. Thinking of what her cousin's wife had just said, she silently took three incense sticks from the incense drawer.

After worshipping more than ten Buddha statues, Gu Jinhe saw that they had to queue up for kneeling mats, and he didn't know when his cousin's wife and others would be able to come up.

She remembered there was a small path on the right where there was a lotus pond, also known as the wishing pond, with coins thrown by tourists around the pond.

Gu Jinhe walked along the path in his memory for a long time, and the noisy sounds in his ears gradually disappeared. Not many people knew about this place, so there were not many people coming here on weekdays.

When Gu Jinhe saw the lotus pond, there was no one nearby.

Gu Jinhe found a stone by the side and sat down, looking at a silver coin in the pool. On both sides were two stone turtles, with fresh water flowing from their mouths. Sitting closer, he could hear the sound of rapidly flowing water.

Gu Jinhe pulled her coat. She was wearing a light blue loose sportswear when going out for the trip. Maybe it was because of the strong humidity here, so it felt much colder than at the foot of the mountain.

Gu Jinhe stared at the stone turtle spitting out water. It is said that a prime minister has a stomach as big as a boat. What about this turtle that has endless water to spit out?

She sat quietly on the stone alone, with no one to disturb her, listening quietly to the gurgling sound of the water. Miraculously, her heart gradually calmed down.

In fact, it has only been more than a month since her rebirth, and during this time she has not really thought about how to change things in the future.

The sudden rebirth made Gu Jinhe feel dazed for a long time. She often woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. She could only numb herself by filling all her time.

During the month at Gu's house, she numbed herself by studying, but after finishing her studies, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

She left the Gu family because of Xie Hengzhi's matter. In fact, if there was nothing else, she would not be willing to leave the Gu family.

People are really strange creatures. When they are away from the hometown where they have lived for many years, they will miss it and think that they will go back one day. But when they really have to go back, they can't bear to leave the place where they live now.

People only remember the present moment, which is the deepest emotion. Long-lost memories remain in the heart for a long time and become covered in dust. When you recall them, they are blurred.

What Gu Jinhe missed most was not the street in Jiangcheng, nor the place where he had lived for twenty years, but the place where he later lived in the Gu family for five years.

She remembers every blade of grass and every tree there clearly. She has taken root and grown teeth there and can't leave.

"Hey, isn't that the girl who shared the box with me that I met in Jiangcheng?"

Qin Xu looked at Gu Jinhe sitting by the pool and recognized her immediately. He turned to look at Fu Huaiyuan and said, "What a coincidence, I met her here. I thought I would never see this girl again."

Fu Huaiyuan glanced at him and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then?"

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't you think this girl is very special? How should I put it? Her temperament, yes, it's her temperament, which makes people's eyes light up and unforgettable. Her eyebrows are lonely and cold, and there is a hint of indifference that sees through life and death. She is a very special person. At such a young age, she can see through life and death. Don't you think it's strange?"

Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe who was already looking at him and said, "You are the only one who talks too much." Then he took the lead and walked towards the lotus pond.

Qin Xu watched him leave, then shook his head and whispered, "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a director, and I am very sensitive to people's emotions."

Gu Jinhe didn't expect to see Fu Huaiyuan here. The last time they met, he was an elite man in a suit and tie. This time, he was dressed more casually, wearing a dark blue sportswear. He had an upright posture, and a few strands of hair fell on his forehead, slightly covering his eyebrows. This time he didn't wear glasses, and he looked more casual and elegant.

Gu Jinhe met Fu Huaiyuan on the first day after his rebirth. At that time, Gu Jinhe had not yet sorted out her emotions, so she did not plan to have much contact with him.
