I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 310: Tie Dolls at the Empress Temple in Miaofeng Mountain

Song Wu rode his tricycle to Zhengyangmen. Before he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a figure standing there waiting eagerly. When he saw Song Wu's tricycle, he ran towards him.

Yu Jie ran up to Song Wu and put a small package directly into his hand: "Here, eat it while it's hot. You'll be able to ride the tricycle with more energy later."

"What?" Song Wu asked as he opened the small cloth package and saw that it was still steaming egg pancakes. He sniffed it gently, ah, it smelled so good, the smell of egg mixed with the smell of chopped green onion, it really made people drool just by smelling it.

"Have you eaten? Let's eat together. It's such a long journey and you'll be hungry if you don't eat enough." Song Wu stretched the small cloth bag in his hand towards the back of the tricycle.

Yu Jie just got on the tricycle and sat down. She stretched out her hand to push his hand back, "Hurry up and eat it. It's specially brought for you. I've already eaten it at home. You're such a real person. You want to Do you think I can lose myself?"

She would not lose her own belly or starve herself, but the only thing she could fill her stomach with was stick batter, and she was not willing to eat the egg pancakes, which were specially brought here for Song Wu Tanhao.

Song Wu was pedaling a tricycle while eating egg pancakes, and kept moaning and praising, "Well, it's so fragrant and delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious egg pancakes in a long time, no." , I haven’t eaten egg pancakes for a long time, oh my, it almost kills me, it’s so fragrant.” Song Wu ate the egg pancakes in three mouthfuls, looking like he was still unsatisfied.

Yu Jie was very happy. Seeing that Song Wu was eating well, she was in a very good mood. When she saw Song Wu eating a stack of egg pancakes so quickly, she frowned and asked, "Is it a little short? Are you not full?"

Song Wu directly wiped his mouth with the cloth wrapped in egg pancakes, and said with a smile: "I'm full. I'm not only full, but also satiated. Just because it's so delicious, I'm just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. I feel a little regretful." It’s a lack of careful taste.”

Yu Jie sat in the back and couldn't help but giggled at his amusement.

Nowadays, their clothes are still patched and patched, and some even look tattered. This shows that the people have been really suffering in recent years. However, even under such difficult living conditions, they still cherish the yearning for a better future and still insist on walking a long way to come here to pray for their future happiness. In such a situation, can you call it feudal superstition?

We can also see many people who are obviously coming from afar. They all hold walking sticks. The baskets behind them contain food and daily necessities needed for the journey. The rolled up mats on the baskets are probably where they rest at night. The bed is made.

Since the Republic of China, temple fairs have been held here every year with government approval, but they have been canceled since the 1940s.

Miaofeng Mountain is located about 60 miles northwest of the capital. It is one of the famous mountains around the capital. Probably since the Ming Dynasty, the Bixia Yuanjun Temple on the top of Miaofeng Mountain, also known as the Empress Temple by the common people, has become a well-known holy place in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Along the mountain road from the foot of the mountain to Miaofeng Mountain, local people even built many pergolas with reed mats. Song Wu was very surprised and pleasantly surprised to find that tea and food were provided inside, allowing people who came to Miaofeng Mountain to rest and relax. Pad your belly. This time, Song Wu found the feeling of traveling to scenic spots in later generations. It can be seen that the traditional power of the people is very powerful, and it is really hard to change habits.

At the foot of the mountain, Song Wu made an excuse for Yu Jie, pushed the tricycle to the back, put it into the space, and then led her to climb towards the top of Miaofeng Mountain.

The tricycle quickly left BJ Xizhimen in the morning light, and then rode quickly in the direction of Mentougou.

Sure enough, even in this day and age, the closer Song Wu rode his tricycle to Miaofeng Mountain, the more he noticed that there seemed to be more and more people coming to offer incense, and there was even a sense of an endless stream.

Song Wu originally thought that this place had been abandoned, but from what Yu Jie said, it seemed that although the temple fair's official organization was gone, the people's spontaneous incense was still very strong.

Song Wu couldn't help but sigh, no matter what time, folk culture and people's desire for happiness are very strong.

There were also scenes that made Song Wu sad. On the way, he often saw people sitting on the hillside to rest by the road, mostly old women and young women.

Yu Jie, who was too tired to walk, said to Song Wu: "I really admire these people. They are sincere. I guess they will respond to requests. I can't do it now. My feet hurt so much that I can't walk." Now, I stay in the shop every day and rarely move, so my physical strength is really much worse than before."

Song Wu looked at Yu Jie who looked in pain and said to her, "How about I help you?"

Yu Jie said, "Okay, if I keep at it, I'm already halfway gone. I'm also very sincere." Yu Jie's sincerity didn't last long before she gave up completely. "Oh, I just heard people say that I came to Miaofeng Mountain. I really didn't expect it to be so difficult to climb up. I can't stand it anymore. I really can't walk anymore. I can't hold on anymore." She found a stone on the side of the road. Sitting on it, rubbing his legs, patting his waist, and sighing.

Just at this time, a middle-aged man walked up with a teenage child on his back, passed in front of the two people, walked not far away, and sat on a stone to rest on the roadside not far away. Judging from their appearance, they probably came from afar. The middle-aged man not only carried the half-grown man on his back, but also carried a quilt on his back and a tin bucket for drinking water in his hand, which looked very cumbersome. Song Wu guessed that it was probably because the child was in poor health that he went to the mountain to pray for blessings.

However, this pair of people who may be father and son also reminded Song Wu. He turned to Jie and said, "Otherwise, I will go behind your back."

Yu Jie, who was rubbing her leg in pain, was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not even daring to look at Song Wu. Just when Song Wu thought she didn't want to, he heard She said "hmm" quietly.

Song Wu was not sure whether he heard her affirmative answer, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand the meaning, so he asked again: "Can I carry you on my back?"

Yu Jie raised her eyes and glanced at him and said, "If you don't feel tired, just carry it."

Song Wu smiled and squatted in front of Yu Jie. He thought to himself: "What's so tiring? She probably doesn't weigh as much as that half-grown girl."

Yu Jie shyly climbed onto Song Wu's back. Song Wu stood up with her on his back and strode towards the top of the mountain. When passing by the father and son, the middle-aged man smiled kindly at Song Wu. He probably thought that Song Wu was going up the mountain to ask for a child behind his wife's back.

From time to time on the mountain road, you can see villagers from nearby villages, trying to improve their lives according to local conditions. Song Wu saw a middle-aged woman selling her handmade souvenirs to passers-by. Although she was wearing patched clothes, she was smiling happily, and she really managed to welcome guests from all over the world with a smile.

Song Wu walked over and bought a small straw flower basket and handed it to Yu Jie on his back. Yu Jie reached out to take it and murmured dissatisfiedly: "What are you buying something like this for? It's not for food or use, it's a waste of money." But where Song Wu couldn't see it, her face was already smiling like a flower in full bloom. The flowers are the same, and I look at the straw flower basket in my hand, as if I have got the most precious thing in the world.

Carrying Yu Jie all the way to the Empress Temple on the top of Miaofeng Mountain was really not tiring, but it was just too uncomfortable. The girl had such a good figure that she should be bulging, soft and curled, so it was too painful to carry her on her back.

Finally putting Yu Jie down at the gate of the temple, Song Wu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Yu Jie looked at him with a blushing face and asked, "Are you tired?"

Song Wu was hunched over and didn't dare to straighten up, fearing that he would look ugly, so he hurriedly said: "I'm not tired, not tired at all. How much do you weigh?"

Yu Jie looked at him strangely, then her eyes moved downwards involuntarily, she found the clue, and couldn't help but laugh. Then, she smiled and said to Song Wu, "If you want to go into the temple, come with me. If you don't want to go in, just wait for me nearby. I will go to the temple to pray, burn some incense and come out." ”

Of course Song Wu was not interested in entering the Empress Temple, so he said to Jie: "Okay, you go ahead, I'll rest here for a while, and you can see me when I come out."

When Yu Jie entered the temple, Song Wu found a quiet place, took out some delicious food and drinks from the space and gave himself a mat to replenish his energy. The most important thing was to suppress some excitement.

While taking a rest, Song Wu looked at the people coming and going, and found that not only the nearby villagers came here, but also many BJ citizens in the city seemed to be running here. Judging by their clothes, there are quite a few intellectuals. It can be seen that just reading can't solve the psychological problems. We still have to go here to seek some comfort and relief.

Today's experience really opened Song Wu's eyes. He really didn't expect that in today's environment and era, there would be so many people running to the temple in the mountains. Look at the expressions on their faces and their firm steps. , seems to be no less pious than the slogans and pursuits we talk about every day.

Yu Jie burned incense in the temple, knelt on the futon and prayed quietly, but her mood could not calm down. All she could think about was Song Wu and the feeling of being carried on his back when he went up the mountain today.

She was very hesitant, entangled, and struggling in her heart, so she knelt in front of the futon. Her mood, which should have been pious and praying, was turbulent, and she could not calm down no matter what.

Finally, after tying the doll, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind as she stepped out of the temple door. Miaofengshan Empress Temple really had to rely on herself to seek a child. Since she tied the doll back today, she had to make up her mind. Erba Jing's hard work can only bring him a child.
