Wear it before fleeing, hang it up and make a fortune

Chapter 346 Entering various scenic spots
After eating, Lao Xinxiao still remembered his mission. The two of them were being romantic at the moment, so he broke the silence first.

"Manager, let's go down the mountain from here to the other side, and then go up the mountain from another place. Let's leave the motorcycle here while we go up the mountain."

At this moment, Zhong Xiangrui was completely absorbed in the gentleness of the young lady Xinxiao, her beautiful face and sparkling eyes. He believed whatever she said.

"Um"

Although it is not yet the Double Ninth Festival, the nights in the one or two months after Hong Kong's return are the hottest.

When you climb a mountain at night, you may not get any cool breeze and it may be hot, but so what?

With the girl by his side, even if he had to climb the mountain all night, he would feel as refreshed as if he had drunk a cold soda in the summer!

Lao Xinxiao was not completely familiar with every scenic spot on the mountain before.

Although I am from my hometown, I have not visited every tourist attraction since I returned.

Combined with some memories from my previous life, I still have a little impression of it.

However, tourist attractions do have classic brochures, which are usually distributed to tourists or people who visit the tourist attractions.

There is no charge at the entrance, and there may also be a charge for entry to each attraction.

Apart from those temples, temples depend on personal wishes. Do you want to pay incense money?
Ordinary pilgrims go in and give incense money generously. Your attractions charge according to population, so perhaps they can charge more.

What impressed Lao Xinxiao most were the Wong Tai Sin Temple, the monk temple, and some temples with cultural relics.

However, these temples are all located in different places, and there are some caves among them. Tourists need to buy tickets to go in and play. Just like entering the scary caves with ghosts and monsters, these places also require tickets to enter.

Lao Xinxiao and Manager He gave each of them a tourist guide brochure. They went down the mountain from the other side and bought two tourist guide brochures at a roadside telephone booth.

Then they started to climb the mountain again, not randomly, but following the route to a certain temple.

The route passes through some scenic spots, which charge a fee during the day.

It was already past six o'clock, the staff at the attractions had gone off work, and the attractions were closed to visitors. The tops also had gates, but they were closed.

I went to the place where the cultural relics were viewed, but it was also closed.

They went to the Buddhist temple, which was not closed. They passed by the small temple, went in, worshipped and burned incense.

The whole time, Lao Xinxiao was looking for the monk that Cheng Xiwen mentioned.

She felt that if Cheng Xiwen was that age decades later, the people who were interpreting fortunes and selling things should be in their twenties now.

Because people who practice Buddhism may look younger in a few decades. In a few decades, they may only be in their 20s or s. Monks know how to preserve their health, so they should be in their s now, right?
Whenever Lao Xinxiao visited temples of all sizes, he would look at the faces of the young monks.

There are some who have interpreted the fortune, but they are still in their 50s.

There was also no high-tech machine in front of the monk that allowed customers to pay in multiple ways.

There is an incense box in front of the monk. When he interprets the divination sticks, tells fortunes, or tells horoscopes for customers, the monk asks the customers to put money in the box.

Manager Lao Xinxiao He walked past the small temples and went to a big temple. When it was almost dark, there were still tourists in a monk's temple. At this time, they were still burning incense, shaking sticks, and asking an old monk to interpret the sticks and tell fortunes.

Old Xinxiao took a look at some things placed in front of the old monk. In addition to the wooden box for collecting money and the copper coins for fortune-telling, there were also some amulets placed in front of him.

There are no jade pendants or anything like that for sale.

She found that this temple was a bit like the temple where Cheng Xiwen said she bought the jade pendant.

I watched the customers from the side as they had the old monk interpret the lots, tell fortunes, and so on. When buying amulets from him, the prices were clearly marked and the amulets were not that expensive.

But there is no such thing as a few thousand, nor is there any expenditure of tens of thousands.

The price of a peace amulet is fifty yuan, but fifty yuan is also quite expensive.

In the 90s, wages in many factories were only three or four hundred yuan.

Here in the Pearl River Delta, the salary ranges from several thousand to several hundred.

People spend a lot of money to buy amulets just to get what they want.

Many people who go there to pray or travel don’t lack the money to buy a talisman.

I bought amulets for the whole family and it only cost a few hundred or thousands of dollars.

Now that he is here, Lao Xinxiao is ready to tell fortunes and draw lots.

The manager is Lao Xinxiao, so he can do whatever he wants?
But no matter what others say, if couples go up the mountain, their marriage may be over.

He was looking for a marriage partner at this moment.

Although they did not buy red ribbons to hang up the marriage tree when they passed by it just now.

The old monk's stall is quite popular.

There was no sign of impatience on the old monk's face. It's time for a monk to eat at this time, right?

not yet eat?

Not off work yet?

You work really hard!

She didn't feel the heat as she was climbing the mountain with a bottle of ice-cold mineral water in her hand.

Take a drink when you are thirsty.

A cool breeze blew in from the direction where they were standing in line, towards the temple.

The monk was wearing a long-sleeved monk's robe, and he didn't seem to sweat.

There are no electrical appliances such as fans.

When we lined up to Lao Xinxiao, it was already dark, but the temple was brightly lit.

Because they bowed in front of each Buddha statue and then lined up to have their fortune told.

Old Xinxiao took the fortune stick first, shook a stick quite realistically, and took the stick to the old monk to interpret it.

When Lao Xinxiao asked the old monk to interpret the fortune, the manager took the bucket of fortune sticks in his hand and shook them sincerely, not caring about the fact that Lao Xinxiao's fortune stick was missing from the bucket.

Old Xinxiao, you have got a very good fortune.

Then go to the old monk and ask him to interpret the fortune.

The manager also took a good lottery.

The lots the two people took had different hexagrams on them.

Before the guests ask him any questions, the monk will sing along with the music played in the temple, along with other monks beating wooden fish. He closes his eyes, makes the shape of Amitabha with one hand, and moves his mouth.

Old Xinxiao walked closer to the monk, but did not hear the sound of him chanting.

She was like invisible in front of the monk.

"Master, I pray for marriage and fortune."

The monk was sitting there, and when he heard that Lao Xinxiao fainted, he opened his eyes and looked at her. Those eyes, although not very young, were very sharp.

He took a look at the signature document that Lao Xinxiao was holding.

Explain to her that this is the first time I am praying for wealth and marriage.

She has good fortune in wealth and love, and it depends on her choice who is her Mr. Right.

Lao Xinxiao..., what you said sounds like the truth. Let’s buy some amulets here and give them to our family members.

Give amulets to relatives whom you have not met yet.

……

Old Xinxiao thought so in his heart. His only relatives were his own family, and his grandfather's family whom he had not met yet.

Thinking about this, a piece of amulet that costs 50 yuan will cost six or seven hundred yuan.

I feel really bad for it. I used to earn only 600 to 700 yuan a month working in a factory.

Later, I entered the factory office, but I had not even worked for a month, and my salary was calculated according to the factory salary.

It hurts to think about spending hundreds of dollars.

Old Xinxiao made up her mind. She had been shopping for free for two months, and she still made a lot of money from her business. She decided to spend some money on amulets to have peace of mind. She didn't dare to take photos in the temple, or have a video call with Cheng Xiwen.

She didn't even dare to confirm in front of the old monk whether this was the person Cheng Xiwen was looking for.

Because the situations described by the two people are different.

I didn't ask the monk to tell my fortune, nor did I ask him to tell my fortune again.

Lao Xinxiao actually didn't quite believe it, but he kept a secret in his heart. He always felt that the monk's eyes seemed to see through people, so he didn't dare say anything else in front of him.

I'd rather stay away.

The manager also asked the monk to interpret the fortune.

I heard him praying for a good marriage, good fortune, and the safety of his family.

His family is safe and he has good fortune, but his marriage has many twists and turns, and it's a bit difficult for him to get what he wants.

After listening to the monk's interpretation, the manager felt a little depressed.

In the end, I reluctantly bought a few amulets.

As soon as they left the temple, Lao Xinxiao opened the panel and let Cheng Xiwen watch the scene in the temple. She could also look into the temple from her position and see the monk who interpreted the fortune sitting among the crowd.

Lao Xinxiao doesn’t understand whether the Ping An Fu she bought is genuine?

If it was fake, she could go in and withdraw.

She bought it with zero money, but even if the wind blew, it would still blow away.

Cheng Xiwen did not receive the video from Lao Xinxiao’s friend, and she didn’t know if there was a light in the temple blocking her eyes.

From her angle, the monk in the temple, the old monk who interpreted the divination sticks and told fortunes, the one who beat the wooden fish, and the one who chanted the sutras all had blurry faces.

The amulet that Lao Xinxiao showed her was real, and it didn’t look like a space amulet at all.

It's just an ordinary amulet.

Cheng Xiwen looked in the direction of the temple and saw a golden light blocking her view.

"I can't see the monks' faces clearly. What I see in the video now is a golden light blocking my view. Are we ghosts? Why is there a golden light when I look inside?"

When Old Xinxiao heard the words, she looked back, but she did not see the golden light.

Old Xinxiao was confused but didn't ask because his manager was with him and he couldn't show any more surprise.

The manager accompanied him silently. Lao Xinxiao stopped and did not leave. He did not urge him, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Blame the monk, what is it that is difficult to obtain after he explains it to you?
What bullshit, the person is right in front of you and the girl doesn’t have a boyfriend, why is it so hard to get her?
Zhong Xiangrui felt uncomfortable, but he was still quite gentlemanly and didn't show much expression on his face. He hadn't left too much of a mark on Yu Hai's heart yet, so he could only try his best.

Before the girl meets more outstanding boys, shouldn't he try harder?

Stay by the girl's side and help her.

This is also a private matter.

I knew long ago that the girl would not stay in this place forever and remain ordinary.

The information he found would be different if the girl found her relatives.

After spending two months with the girl and trading some goods with her, he felt that the girl must have some secrets.

Where did those decades-old wines come from?

His channels could not be found either.

It's like these things just appeared out of nowhere.

It cannot satisfy his strong curiosity.

Lao Xinxiao then went to Master Huang’s Temple and the giant statue of Guanyin.

But they were all in a hurry. Considering their speed, it was fast enough. They climbed up and down the mountain and it took them several hours.

When they went down the mountain again, it was already past eight o'clock, almost nine o'clock.

The two came to the place where the motorcycles were parked. The manager drove the motorcycle and she sat in the back.

The evening breeze blew and the manager was no longer as depressed as before.

Although it's not nagging and annoying.

The two of them chatted occasionally and were very harmonious.

Taking a ride on a summer night, with a beautiful woman and a handsome man by my side, both of them were in a good mood.

Since the manager came here and joined the company, he has not lived in a hotel or guesthouse, nor has he rented a house. Instead, he bought a private house in the town that is not a shop.

Although the house is not big, it is big enough for him to live in.

If the family is smaller, they can still accommodate them.

It is a two-story house of more than 70 square meters. The downstairs is a living room, a kitchen and a small room, and the upstairs is two rooms.

The manager thought that he would live here permanently, and even if he didn't, he would not compromise himself by redecorating and repainting the walls.

This is also newly purchased, and the electrical appliances are also newly purchased.

The place where I live is not far from the company, just a few minutes' walk.

The motorcycle stopped at the entrance of the manager's alley. The manager was a little reluctant to leave. After the motorcycle stopped, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the ice cream parlor?"

"All right"

Old Xinxiao thought about it and agreed. While climbing the mountain, the food she had eaten had been digested and the water she had drunk had been dissipated throughout her body.

Maybe it was because of the practice, I didn’t feel tired the whole night, but I was a little hungry.

She hesitated for a moment and then accepted the manager's invitation.

When a handsome guy invites you, how many people can refuse?

Old Xinxiao was not a greedy person, so he agreed for some reason.

Didn't think too much about it.

The motorcycle drove to the ice room again.

The motorcycle stopped at the door of the ice cream parlor, and some people were already inside.

The two locked the car and went in, ordering ice and edible food.

Apart from jelly, ice cream and other summer foods, there is no meat to eat at this time.

The spicy chicken feet and spicy chicken wings that Lao Xinxiao wanted were not available.

A bit disappointed.

The two ordered drinks and food.

Drink something cool and refreshing on a summer day.

The few tables in the shop were not fully occupied.

The two of them were talking in low voices while eating.

It was mostly the manager who was talking and Lao Xinxiao who was listening.

In the eyes of others, the young couple is in love.

When they were almost done eating, they didn't notice that there were a few people walking by outside the ice cream room, both men and women, who just wanted to enter the store.

Several men and women walked into the ice cream parlor. When they saw Lao Xinxiao and the manager, their eyes were filled with anger.

They walked in swaggeringly, ignoring the boss's flattering eyes and smile, and went straight to Lao Xinxiao's table.

These men and women all have hidden weapons in their hands and on their bodies. These are the weapons they use to make a living.

After all, they are the gangsters of this generation, and weapons are their livelihood. When they want to collect fees or fight, they will take out weapons.
