Chapter 170 Climbing high
Fan's School started on the eighth day of the lunar month. Early in the morning, Li Rongzong took the energetic Li Rongzhang into the mule cart and prepared to go to Hecun Village on the opposite side.

Song and Shiliu watched them go away at the gate. The eldest brother was like his father, and Li Jihe had to recuperate. It was left to Li Rongzong to take his younger brother to see his husband and hand over Shuxiu's admission.

Originally, Li Rongzhang wanted his second sister to accompany him, but Shiliu only teased her: "I still want my second sister to accompany me when I go to school. I'm not afraid that my classmates will laugh at you!"

In fact, she originally wanted to follow him to see the Fan School, but thinking about that "fellow fellow", she decided to give up. She didn't want to be tempted by someone looking for opportunities and make others surprised.

Little did she know that someone was waiting for her on the opposite side.

As early as a year ago, Fan Jin had heard Li Rongzong say that he would send his younger brother to Fan School after the Chinese New Year. No, he had been looking forward to it this morning.

He had already read the whole morning class, and during the break, he finally waited until the two brothers Li Rongzong came into the school to look for their teacher. However, he looked around and didn't see the person he wanted to see. He thought they were outside in the car. He didn't come in, and even sneaked out to take a look without even looking at it.

He could only wait for Li Rongzhong and the others to come out. After waiting for a long time, the bell rang for class, but he still didn't go in because he was holding his neck. He would be punished later.

Finally, when the smiling Li Rongzong came out, he immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Li Rongzong!"

Li Rongzong was very happy to see him, "Fan Jin! My little brother has already entered school and is in the D-shaped class. Is he in the same class as you? Please take care of my little brother when he is in a different class!"

"I'm in the C class next door. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of him!" Fan Jin agreed and asked curiously: "Don't you always go with your sister? Why don't you see her today?"

Li Rongzong didn't think much and said, "She didn't come!"

Fan Jin was depressed and wanted to ask more questions. He hesitated whether to ask Li Rongzong to help with a sentence——

At this time, seeing him standing at the door, a gentleman called him.

There was no other way, Fan Jin could only stop talking and watch Li Rongzong leave.

Naturally, he would be fined two words by his husband when he went back. He sighed inwardly and thought, that's all, he will go home tomorrow! It doesn’t matter whether he is a “fellow fellow” or not!

-

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, eight villages in their area have the custom of climbing high to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Even before dawn, the village becomes lively as people prepare to go to Dabao Temple.

It's only four or five miles from Xiahe Village to the foot of Qingshan Mountain. It's not far, but to get to Dabao Temple, it takes three to four quarters of an hour to climb the mountain. They are close, and the people in Changqing Village are even closer. If you want to be the first to burn incense, then Don't be too slow in your movements.

The villagers who had made appointments set out in batches. At the east end of the village, Shiliu, Li Xiangli, and the Song family also set out in the mule cart driven by Li Rongzong. They first went to the old house and picked up Lao Yuan. Let's go out of the village to Qingshan together.

In previous years, old Yuan would not be as busy as today. She is old and tired from climbing mountains, but this year she has to go no matter what. Last year there were too many things, and the beginning of this year is also full of things. She I want to go and worship the Buddha in person and ask the Buddha to bless my children and grandchildren.

They rode in a mule cart, which was faster than walking. After a while, they entered Changqing Village, and then left Changqing Village all the way. Not far away, they heard the sound of people, and what they saw in front of them was a temporary lively street. In the market, there are sellers of incense, snacks, tea, and everything, just like a market copied from the city.

These people might have rushed here in the middle of the night to occupy the stalls, just to earn a little money for the day.

I was passing by the market and had a look around the pomegranates. There were some delicious ones. I thought I would come down to eat them later.

The mule cart was stored in a thatched shed at the foot of the mountain, with someone watching over it and only charging a copper plate. It was dark now, but there were already a lot of people going up the mountain. Shiliu and the others followed the crowd up the mountain.

It is worth mentioning that no matter what time, in large and lively scenes, public officials are always indispensable to maintain order and prevent major incidents from happening.

Just like there are yamen patrolling the city to maintain order during the New Year Lantern Festival, Dabao Temple is also a famous temple. With such a bustle today, the county yamen also sent yamen to maintain order.

The government officials would tell people going up the mountain to pay attention to their steps and not to push or crowd them——

Fortunately, the road up the mountain was built with bluestone stairs, which was much easier to walk than the way up the mountain to collect firewood in their village. It just took a lot of effort to climb up, so there was no need to worry about slipping and bumps.

Old Yuan was old and out of breath halfway up the climb, so Li Rongzong lifted her up and continued climbing.

Finally, we reached the mountainside and saw the temple gate. Many people had entered the temple in front of us. I couldn't imagine the first incense, but it was the same for climbing up and worshiping the Buddha sincerely.

After entering the temple, the square was full of people. Shiliu and the others waited in line under the steps for a long time before it was their turn to enter the main hall to burn incense and kowtow to the Buddha.

Old Yuan knelt devoutly on the futon, clasped his hands, faced the Buddha, and muttered something. After a moment, he kowtowed three times to the Buddha solemnly.

Shiliu followed the Song family and they all knelt down to worship the Buddha. Old Yuan was heard asking the Buddha to bless his children and grandchildren in safety and health, so that everything goes smoothly.

After I finished worshiping the Buddha, I added some sesame oil money to the monk on the side, and then asked for the peace talisman.

In this way, the matter of worshiping the Buddha is over. Dabao Temple has prepared a vegetarian meal. If you add three coins, you can try this vegetarian meal.

Pomegranate and the others hadn't had breakfast, so they didn't hesitate to spend the three cents and went directly to the temple canteen.

After breakfast, some people will continue to go to the top of the mountain. As for climbing, naturally the higher the better.

Pomegranate went to the top of the mountain last year and knew that the scenery below the mountain would be more beautiful from the big rocks on the top of the mountain. So she asked Old Yuan if they wanted to go up the mountain again.

Old Yuan waved her hand, she couldn't climb anymore, so she only let Shiliu and her younger selves climb, while she rested in the temple and waited for them to come down.

Song and Li Xiangli didn't go either, so only Li Rongzong accompanied Pomegranate to the top of the mountain.

Pomegranate also likes to climb mountains and is energetic, so the brother and sister are much faster. In a short time, they passed many people and reached the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is still a bit foggy, and the orange light hanging in the sky is struggling to break through the clouds. The dewdrops on the treetops are crystal clear and crumbling, and the mountain breeze is blowing, carrying a delicious fragrance.

Pomegranate took a deep breath and was about to sit on the big rock and enjoy the scenery at the bottom of the mountain. Suddenly, she saw a person on the big rock. The man was standing against the wind, close to the edge of the stone, exuding a decisive and sharp look. , it seems that the next moment it will pounce forward and throw itself into the embrace of the earth.

Who? Climb up a cliff early in the morning?

"Fan Jin!" Beside him, his eldest brother shouted happily.

Shiliu squinted her eyes slightly, and then she saw clearly that the figure standing against the wind was none other than Fan Jin!
