On August 15th, when the sun slowly set from the top of the mountain and the cold air invaded the body and twilight approached, Cheng Yiping and others rushed from their hometown of Xiangyang Village to the foot of Miaohua Temple Mountain. The off-road vehicle slowly stopped and there were two people standing by the stone stairs going up the mountain.
People stopped to watch, lowered the window and saw that it was the Qian brothers. Zhang Ruolan picked up her travel bag, opened the door and got out of the car. The Qian brothers saw Zhang Ruolan's face and came forward to welcome him.
Cheng Yiping nodded and smiled at the Qian brothers. Zhang Ruolan asked, "Are you two brothers waiting for us here?" The Qian brothers put their hands together and saluted. Qian Dabao said, "My master knows that the nobles are coming today and ordered us to wait here.
Take the noble man up the mountain." Zhang Ruolan said: "Excuse me, you two, please lead the way!" Seeing that Cheng Yiping had no intention of getting off the car, Qian Dabao turned his eyes to him and said: "My master said that if the noble man comes today, it is destined.
, please go up the mountain and talk about it."
Cheng Yiping smiled, Zhang Ruolan turned around and said to Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, wake up Xiaoxi. I have two cotton coats in my bag. You wear the bigger one and the smaller one for Xiaoxi. It's cold on the mountain at night." Cheng Yiping
A look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhang Ruolan but said nothing. Xiaofang shook Xiao Xi awake, Xiao Xi rubbed her hazy eyes, stretched out her hands and yawned: "Uncle, are you home?" Cheng Yiping rubbed his eyes.
He rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Put on your clothes, uncle will take you to a fun place."
Xiao Xi said: "Oh." Xiaofang took out the cotton-padded coat from her bag, put the small red cotton-padded coat on Xiao Xi, zipped it up, put a white woolen hat on her, opened the car door and let Xiao Xi get out of the car first.
Xiaofang put on her big white cotton coat and got off the car. In the woods on both sides of the stone staircase, which could accommodate three people walking side by side, there was a spotlight not far away. The soft light shot out from the woods. The sun had not completely set. Looking up
Looking up, the Miaohua Temple on the top of the mountain looks even more solemn and mysterious under the soft lights of the sunset and the clouds.
Zhang Ruolan led Xiao Xi and walked in the front, with Xiaofang and Cheng Yiping in the middle. The Qian brothers were behind carrying their luggage. Qian Erbao wanted to stay behind to guard the SUV, but Zhang Ruolan stopped him. The group climbed up the stairs and walked for more than 20 years.
Minutes later, less than a third of the way, Xiao Xi's forehead began to sweat, Zhang Ruolan said softly: "Come, Auntie will hug you." He bent down and picked her up, Xiao Xi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Thank you.
Auntie, I'm very heavy, please let me walk for a while."
Zhang Ruolan lowered his head and kissed her, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Cheng Yiping originally wanted to step forward and say that the two of them would take turns to replace each other, but the scene in his mind flashed back to the scene last Saturday night when Ding Dagui came to the house to commit murder, but Zhang Ruolan grabbed him with one hand and threw him against the wall.
Then he stopped talking. The group of people walked for another half an hour and arrived at the top of the mountain. In front of the mountain gate, Master Wu Se, still dressed in gray old monk robes, was waiting outside the temple gate. When he saw Cheng Yiping and others, Wu Se greeted him.
He came up and came closer, clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "It turns out that I haven't come to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me for my sin."
Cheng Yiping also bowed and clasped his hands together and said: "It's inappropriate to disturb the master's Qingxiu. If the master continues to be so polite, Yi Ping will not know what to do." Wu Se said: "I don't dare to see the donor again.
"I'm very happy. I've prepared a meal, please give me a favor." After saying that, he stood sideways. Zhang Ruolan put down Xiao Xi, stepped forward and clasped his hands together and said, "I haven't seen you for many days. How are you, master?" Wu Se looked at him kindly.
She nodded slightly.
Cheng Yiping and his party followed Wu Se outside the Zen room. Through the bamboo curtain, they could smell waves of indescribable aroma, enough to arouse anyone's appetite. They lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in. There was incense burning in the Zen room.
There were several vegetarian dishes on the table, two plates of vegetarian ham, two plates of pot stickers and tofu, and a vegetarian duck. The Qian brothers found a few futons, and Wu Color asked Cheng Yiping and others to sit down. Xiao Xi looked at Wu Color,
Follow his example and sit down.
Wu Color looked at her with a kind smile and said gently: "Come to me." Xiao Xi said: "Oh." He stood up and walked around the table to sit next to him. Wu Color looked at her, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a
Put the duck legs into the bowl, put the bowl in front of Xiao Xi, and said, "You are hungry!" Xiao Xi took the bowl and said, "Thank you, grandpa!" Wu Se looked at her kindly and said, "Eat!
"Xiao Xi nodded and said: "Yes!" At this time, in the vast twilight, the pleasant sound of the evening bell came.
"The dusk clouds have cleared up and overflowed with cold, and the silver man turned the jade plate silently." In the sound of the monks chanting sutras in the evening class, the full moon rose. After eating the fast meal, Wu Se left Zhang Ruolan in the Zen room, Xiao Xi, Xiao
Fang and Cheng Yiping came out. Under the guidance of Qian Dabao, the three of them went to the Moon-Wang Pavilion in the northeast corner of the temple and sat down on wooden chairs. The monk Zhike offered tea and moon cakes. Xiao Xi picked up the moon cake and handed it to Cheng Yiping.
mouth, crawled into his arms and sat down.
Cheng Yiping pinched her nose gently and said with a smile: "Troublemaker!" Xiao Xi rubbed her nose and asked: "Uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The teacher said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunion. Grandma, Aunt Lin, Liu
Auntie, have they come to Yunshan?" Cheng Yiping was slightly startled. He didn't expect the little girl to be so sensitive to the festival. He smiled and said: "They are busy with work and can't come." Xiao Xi said: "Oh, then they called you.
Well, don’t you miss them?”
Cheng Yiping looked down at her and saw that the little girl's eyes were full of tears. Cheng Yiping secretly cursed himself for being confused, stroked her hair and said, "Do you miss your parents? The police uncle has been looking for them. When he finds them, he will take them with him."
Would you like to go home?" Xiao Xi nodded and said, "Okay." Cheng Yiping took out the phone and said, "Here, let's call grandma now." A smile appeared on Xiao Xi's face and she nodded: "Yes!"
The phone was connected, Cheng Yiping said a few words and handed the phone to Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi picked up the phone, listened to a few words and ran to the other side. Cheng Yiping said: "Where are you going?" Xiao Xi said: "Grandma wants to tell me.
I'm whispering, so you won't hear it." Cheng Yiping smiled, and Xiaofang said: "Uncle, I'm going to see Xiao Xi." Cheng Yiping nodded. Xiao Xi and Xiao Fang were on the phone on the other side of the pavilion, less than a quarter of an hour later.
, Zhang Ruolan came over.
Looking at Xiao Xi and Xiao Fang who were far away from Cheng Yiping, Zhang Ruolan smiled and sat down next to Cheng Yiping. Cheng Yiping lit a cigarette and said, "What did the master tell you?" Zhang Ruolan picked up the
He took a sip of the tea on the table and answered the question: "The ancients said that God is watching when people are doing things. But my grandfather said that God may not be watching when people are doing things, but the people lying under the ground must be watching. Yesterday I only watched
I visited my father's grave once and didn't dare to talk nonsense, but I am sure of one thing. My father hopes that you will be successful, prosperous, get married and have children, and let our children call him grandpa in front of his grave." Cheng Yiping looked at her and said nothing.
Returning to Yunshan the next afternoon, I just entered the office and sat for a while. Wu Daming, the executive deputy county magistrate, walked in and said, "Secretary, I have something to report to you. Aren't we going to reform state-owned enterprises and transfer Yunshan Machinery Factory?"
Now a Hong Kong businessman has arrived in Yunshan and wants to acquire a machinery factory. Would you like to come and meet him in person?" Cheng Yiping motioned for him to sit down and said with some surprise, "The news spread so fast. Do all Hong Kong businessmen know about it?
How did Shang find us from Yunshan?"
Wu Daming smiled and said, "The Hong Kong businessman's name is Li Jiatai. He was introduced by Ms. Shen Yao, the general manager of our Yunshan entrepreneur Zhengbang Electrical Appliances. Mr. Shen once went to Lingnan to participate in a trade fair and met Li Jiatai, and later became friends. Mr. Shen It is said that Li Jiatai specializes in inspecting the mainland to find acquisition targets. After completing the acquisition, he introduces advanced business management models, injects funds, and improves corporate efficiency. He waits for the company to get on the right track and make stable profits before selling it. What is this practice called by friends? ,Capital operation?"
Cheng Yiping said with a smile: "So, this Hong Kong businessman has the magical power to turn decay into magic, and can turn stone into gold. It's really worth seeing such a master of business. Well, as soon as the Hong Kong businessman arrived in Yunshan, he should first Let people walk around, take a look and understand the situation. As for me, I have some things to do in the afternoon. Tomorrow we will go out together to receive this Hong Kong businessman. What do you think? Then call County Magistrate He as well. "
Wu Daming said: "Okay, then it's settled." Cheng Yiping thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Daming, no matter what, the Hong Kong businessmen are also the guests attracted by our Yunshan investment promotion. They must be well entertained and cannot be ignored. I'm sorry." Wu Daming smiled and said, "I understand, secretary, don't worry, we will make proper arrangements."
