Su Jinxiang turned around and said, "I won't do it. I'm going to go. If you don't go, I'll go by myself."

Su Jinsong knew that his sister's obsession with flowers had reached a crazy level, and no one could stop her from wanting to go. If she was allowed to go to a girl's house by herself, she would be in danger, so she looked to her husband Qiu Wuhen for help.

.

Qiu Wuhen smiled helplessly and said, "In that case, fine, let's find a car, otherwise it will be too far to walk."

Su Jinsong immediately objected clearly: "No, I don't have money to hire a car."

"I don't need you, someone will pay for it."

"Who can do such a good thing?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "Don't forget that I still have several school disciples. One of these students is Fei Wutong, the grandson of Mr. Fei, a landlord in Yunduan County. Of course, I don't need to say so explicitly. I just need to tell them that I

If you want to go see flowers, just ask them if they want to go."

Su Jinxiang said happily: "That's great, let's go quickly."

Qiu Wuhen brought his wife and sister-in-law to the school in their yamen. They happened to take a break and a few people were bragging there. When they saw Qiu Wuhen coming in and bringing two beauties with him, several people hurriedly came over to greet them.

, Linghu Ding cupped his hands and said: "Sir is here."

Linghu Ding was a famous teacher. He didn't expect him to be so respectful to his husband. Su Jinsong couldn't help but be surprised.

My sister-in-law was also very happy. Before Qiu Wuhen could say anything, she said first: "We are going to Yeji Mountain to pick flowers. There are many flowers there, which are very beautiful. Did you see that I bought so many, but there are so many flowers on the mountain?

.We just heard about this news and we are going to the mountains to collect it. Do you want to go together?"

As he spoke, he looked at Fei Wutong behind him.

Of course she knew Fei Wutong, but she didn't know the son of the magistrate. Fei Wudan blushed and hid behind Fei Wutong. Fei Wutong had no interest in flowers. He was now focused on his cousin, so he was interested in Su Jinxiang's

There was no interest in the proposal. However, he knew that Su Jinxiang was Qiu Wuhen's aunt, and his husband had also come with him, so he didn't know what his attitude was.

So he looked at Qiu Wuhen, who nodded and said, "Yes, the flowers all over the mountains and fields are very beautiful. Mr. Linghu, let's go and see them together."

How dare students disobey? Although Linghu Ding is twice as old as Qiu Wuhen, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "It must be wonderful for such beautiful flowers to suddenly grow in the snow in the cold winter months."

Let’s take a walk. If you don’t see such a wonder, it will be a great loss in life. Wu Tong, please prepare a few carriages and let’s go together.”

Fei Wutong hurriedly agreed. After all, Linghu Ding was a senior teacher, and relying on his elders to show off his skills was very effective. What's more, Chuncan and Linghu Zhi both cheered and happily said yes. My little cousin is going to go, it's a hundred.

He also has to get a car.

He immediately ran out and hired four cars, and several people sat separately and headed to Yeji Temple. When they reached the foot of Yeji Mountain, they had to walk up the mountain. The carriage could not go up, so they got off the car and started walking.

There are actually many more pedestrians here than before, because this mountain is steep and there are no villages on the mountain. Except for the dilapidated Yeji Temple, it is not a major traffic thoroughfare. I rarely see people except for going up the mountain to collect firewood.

In addition to the woodcutter, there is an endless stream now, many of them carrying baskets of flowers with baskets on their backs and bamboo pockets.

The fragrance of this kind of flower is very strong, and the whole road is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Su Jinxiang said: "We have to speed up. With so many people digging, they may all be dug up soon."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Probably not. We have traveled thousands of miles to look for it. It will at least give us some face. But let's explore the way first. If it is really dug out and the flower area is large, we can come here early tomorrow morning.

Maybe we can dig it. But in my opinion, it’s not worth the gain just to dig up this wild flower. I might as well use this time to do other things!”

However, these words did not arouse Linghu Ding's approval. Originally, he said that he should not lose his mind by playing with things and should concentrate on studying, which was right. But at this moment, Linghu Ding saw that Qiu Wuhen's aunt and wife were very enthusiastic about this matter.

, he is a very good flatterer. He knows that he does not need to flatter the person involved at all. He only needs to flatter the people closest to him to make them happy. That is much more effective than flattering the person involved.

So he chose to flatter the Su Jinxiang sisters and show that he was not a flatterer. He immediately said to Qiu Wuhen with a straight face: "I cannot agree with what you said, sir. How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? No

After a lot of hard work, the flowers bought with money will not smell as fragrant as the flowers dug by one's own hands. Besides, the flowers dug by one's own hands are much more convenient than the flowers for sale.

It would be great to be able to plant."

These words really made Su Jinxiang very happy.

After talking all the way, the group of people came to the cliff.

This cliff is very steep, and there is a road that crosses it. If you throw a stone, it will break into pieces, let alone a person falling. And this cliff can only be walked by two people, and it is very narrow. The cliff is actually not

It is completely made of stone. Some places have more soil, and some places have more stone. It looks more like half of the mountain was faulted and collapsed at the beginning of the geological movement.

They carefully prepared to cross this cliff. Qiu Wuhen pulled his wife Su Jinsong, and Su Jinsong held his sister Su Jinxiang side by side. Niu Shuitan walked in front to explore the way. He used to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and sometimes he would follow his father there.

We go to various villages and villages, so we have walked through all kinds of mountains and foothills, so we don’t care.

However, the two young masters Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were both pampered. They had never walked this way before. They were so frightened that they both trembled and did not dare to move forward.

Chuncan went over unhappily and grabbed Fei Wudan's collar, pulling him forward. Linghu Zhi pushed Fei Wutong from behind, and Fei Wutong kept shouting: "Slow down, slow down."

Linghu Ding is still a little worried. The two young masters must take good care of them and don't let them make any mistakes. They can't afford to explain that.

They walked forward and finally crossed this cliff carefully. Fortunately, when they passed this cliff, the people on the other side were waiting patiently. They waited until the people here passed them before going over, otherwise a few people would exchange ideas halfway.

It's easy to be in danger.

After finally crossing the cliff, several people even broke into cold sweats.

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "That's it for you guys. Let's just walk up the back mountain when we come back later. The distance there is half longer, but at least it's safe. You don't have to cross the cliff here, so you won't sweat nervously."

Unexpectedly, Linghu Zhi and Chun Can both shook their heads and said, "It's so fun to go here, and I don't want to go that far."

As long as the two of them disagreed, Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan were just followers, and they would definitely agree with their views. Qiu Wuhen shrugged, saying it didn't matter, so he moved on.

On the way, we met some people who came to dig, and they all came back with full loads. We could see the gate of Yeji Temple all the way, and we could also see several flower farmers coming with baskets of flowers, which meant that there were still flowers.

They walked to Yeji Mountain, turned around and took a quick look and were dumbfounded. Sure enough, they saw small white flowers all over the mountains and plains, and these flowers were not high from the ground. It was like the earth was wearing a white robe, which looked particularly fresh.

.

This large area of ​​small white flowers all over the mountains and fields is really a sea of ​​flowers, which is more shocking than the white snow all over the mountains and fields. After all, we see a lot of white snow, but it is difficult to see such pure white flowers all over the mountains and fields.

Several people were stunned. Although some people were still digging flowers, they only dug out a small corner. How could they dig up so many flowers at once? It was really weird. Seeing so many flowers made me love flowers.

Su Jinxiang was so dumbfounded that she just stared blankly, forgetting to dig with a hoe.

It wasn't until Niu Shuitan started digging flowers with a hoe that she came to her senses. She snatched the hoe from Niu Shuitan's hand and said, "How can you dig flowers like this? You will hurt all the roots and stems. In that case,

The flower won't survive, at least not well. Let me do it, you just need to be there to help me."

She carefully dug out the small white flowers one by one, covering a relatively large area without damaging the roots below, and then placed them in a basket.

Qiu Wuhen had just been here not long ago. At that time, there was snow all over the mountains and fields. He didn't know whether there were these flowers under the snow or whether they grew after the snow passed. He couldn't tell. But he didn't know.

Why, I'm not happy, I always feel a little weird.

He then said to Sister Su Jinsong: "You can dig flowers here while I go to the temple."

Chuncan and Linghu Zhi immediately said: "We will go too."

Qiu Wuhen was a little strange: "Don't you like these flowers? Sit here and enjoy the sea of ​​flowers. Isn't this better than visiting that temple?"

Spring Silkworm shook his head and said: "What's so good about it? These flowers are all white. It's shocking at first glance. But after a few more glances, it's boring. It's not as good as the flowers in the garden. They come in all colors and shapes. They just look like that."

Lively. I have heard of this Yeji Temple, but I have never been here. It would be fun to take this opportunity to visit. When you see the old monk, you can even ask for a cup of tea with him."

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "If you can find an old monk to ask for a cup of tea, you are really good at it. This monk's name is the deaf-mute monk, but he can speak and understand. But he wears

If he is sloppy, I would rather call him a sloppy monk."

The more vague he spoke, the easier it was to arouse interest. As expected, Fei Wudan was the first to object: "Why do you speak so vaguely, sir? Let's listen to what the story is."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Actually, it's nothing. There is just a legend. It is said that as long as this sloppy monk talks, someone will die. Everyone who has seen him talk has died, so no one knows that he can talk."

Chuncan immediately said: "Sir, you scared us, and the hair on my body stood up."

The more he said this, the more interested he aroused the interest of several other people. Especially Fei Wudan, who was the most timid but very lively person. He immediately said: "Come on, let's go find this sloppy monk now. Listen.

Can he speak?"

Su Jinsong was unwilling to see such a horrific thing, and immediately said to Qiu Wuhen: "Ms. sir, why don't you go to the temple and sit for a while? My sister, my sister, and the cow water tank are enough for the three of us. We will be there in a while.

That’s it, okay, we’ll come find you.”

Qiu Wuhen looked around, and there was no one who was eye-catching. Moreover, there were more than a dozen people digging flowers in broad daylight, including men, women, old and young. And it was right next to the temple, so anyone who spoke loudly could be heard, so there was no need to worry.

So he nodded and went to the temple with a few people.

When we arrived at the temple, we walked around and found that it was exactly the same as when we came last time. Even the dark red blood stains on the ground were still there and no one was cleaning them.

It's just that after these days, the blood stain has become dim in color and is covered by dust, making it basically unrecognizable.

Seeing that it was an abandoned temple, it turned out that there were no old monks begging them for tea. Several people came to the main hall again and saw that several futons were also dirty and covered with dust.

Chuncan and Linghu Zhi originally wanted to kowtow, but Fei Wutong suddenly discovered a new world. He touched the altar table and the lotus throne and said, "Oh, there are a lot of slash marks here. Has there been a robbery?"

Everyone was talking about it, Qiu Wuhen didn't bother to explain to them what happened, but his heart was on the Buddha statue.

Qiu Wuhen walked to the Buddha statue and looked up. The Buddha was still the Buddha and had not turned into the terrifying Buddha and Demon. He was still looking into the distance with his kind eyes, pointing to the sky and the earth.

Qiu Wuhen was sighing when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Mr. Qiu, is it you, Mr. Qiu?"

Qiu Wuhen looked back and saw that it was the woodcutter Wang Xiaosi. He couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you here too?"

"Yes, I came to dig flowers and sell them in the city. They are very good. Three bunches cost five cents. Anyway, it is much more cost-effective than cutting firewood. I have already sold two baskets of flowers. I was digging them just now.

I saw a few people coming while I was flowering. I couldn't see clearly because I was a little far away. I heard the voice sounded like it was you, so I came over to have a look. Sure enough, it was sir. I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said, "It's okay, how about you?"

"It doesn't matter if people in the mountains are good or bad, they just live their lives like this anyway."

By this time, the two sisters Su Jinsong had already dug a basket full of flowers, which they couldn't fit in. They had their apprentice carrying the cow water tank on his back, and the flowers weren't heavy. He was also strong, so it wasn't difficult to carry the flowers on his back.

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said, "Go back."

Wang Xiaosi said: "You are going to the city, right? Then let me go with you. I have dug it up and am preparing to carry it to the city to sell."

Qiu Wuhen nodded, Wang Xiaosi asked them to wait, and ran away as fast as he could. He quickly picked up two baskets. The front and back of the baskets were full. He also carried a basket on his back, a total of three baskets.

Basket of flowers.

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said, "If you can get one on top of your head, wouldn't it be able to hold more?"

Little Wangsi's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, sir, I have an idea. I'll look for a basket when I turn around and make it look like a bamboo hat to put on my head. In this way, I can pick another basket of flowers, so there are four in total.

It’s a basket, it’s great.”
