Chapter 188 Birthday 8 words
Plans cannot keep up with changes. After coming out of the yamen last night, Lin Jiaojiao sent someone to Jiang Mansion to tell them that they would not go to Qingyu Temple tomorrow.
As a result of this incident, she said that she always felt like she had forgotten something while in the carriage.
"Mom, stepmother, I'm sorry, I forgot to inform you."
Mother Fu smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, Mom was just joking. Let's go. This ladder will take some time to climb."
The three teams walked down the ladder together. Lin Jiaojiao was a little worried about Lin Yiyan and Fu Qi. The steps were covered with snow, and it would be terrible if they slipped.
When she reached the foot of the ladder, she saw many sedan bearers. They were all strong, but their muscles were not as good as Lin Chun's.
Grandma Su quickly sat on it, and the two sedan bearers easily lifted the sedan chair and walked towards the ladder.
"Dad, Yi Yan, why don't you guys go sit on this too? They look very steady and should be fine."
They looked at the top of the mountain and shook their heads, indicating that it was okay. They had made it here with great difficulty, and they would climb up step by step no matter what.
"Jiaojiao, it's okay. Isn't there a rope on the side of the road? We just need to pull it and be careful."
"Okay, there happens to be a store selling gloves over there, I'll go buy some."
In fact, she also wanted to ride in a sedan chair, she really didn't want to climb this fatal ladder.
"Boss, I'll go buy it, you just wait."
Lin Dadan rushed to buy it. When Fu's mother saw that they didn't want to sit in the sedan chair, she suddenly didn't want to sit in it either. However, Fu's father and Magistrate Jiang's family still sat in the sedan chair directly.
Su Tongpan also stayed and did not get on the sedan chair. She wanted to take this opportunity to enhance the relationship between mother and daughter.
After Lin Dadan bought the gloves and distributed them to everyone, everyone started heading towards the ladder.
Because the two pregnant men walked slowly, Lin Jiaojiao walked at the end. In front of her was Lin Yiyan, in front of Lin Yiyan was Tongfu, and in front of Tongfu was Fu Qi.
Everyone else walked in front, and Su Tongpan walked beside her. Seeing that her seat was taken, Fu's mother felt embarrassed to disturb the affection between them, so she had to walk beside Fu Qi and accompany her.
But she overestimated her own strength. Before she had gone halfway, she had already fallen behind the team. She was panting and struggling to pull up the rope.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore."
Then she quickly waved to stop an empty sedan chair going down the mountain. The moment she sat on it, she felt her whole body relieved.
She sat there and watched them talking and laughing in a relaxed manner. Even her son, who had been weak since childhood, looked a little out of breath, but he was still able to chat and laugh with Lin Yizhi in front of him. She was confused.
When Lin Jiaojiao and the others reached halfway up the mountain, they came to a fork in the road. Su Tongpan stopped and looked at the place sadly.
"Your father sleeps there..."
When Lin Jiaojiao heard her sad voice, she also stopped and followed her gaze. It was a small path that was almost covered by heavy snow and the end was not visible.
"Mom, come down and take me to see him later."
"it is good…"
It took the group about an hour to finally climb the ladder. Looking back, the view became wider and Lin Fei was so scared that he burst into tears.
He couldn't climb anymore after a while, so Lin Chun carried him up on his back. He slept the whole time, and suddenly the contrast between the heights scared him so much that he burst into tears. Lin Chun quickly ran towards the temple on the flat ground.
Lin Yizhi also exclaimed in surprise. He didn't feel it when he was climbing, but now that he had reached the top and looked back, he could see all the other mountains were small. Fortunately, he was not afraid of heights.
"My dear wife, the people down there look like ants. Hey, I think I can see the city!"
Except for Su Tongpan and Tongfu, everyone else in their group looked down the mountain excitedly; this was the first time they had seen such scenery.
They did not feel the biting cold wind blowing in their faces, but instead it soothed the restlessness in their hearts.
Lin Jiaojiao was also shocked. Although she had climbed the peak before, she always went up by cable car. She would never walk a step if she could take the car.
This is a mountain she has climbed completely. No wonder so many people nowadays like hiking. Their mood is different the moment they climb to the top.
Fu Qi thought so too. He had also come up in a sedan chair before, but he didn't expect that he would really climb up now, bringing his child with him. He stroked his belly quietly without making any expression.
Is your father very awesome?
Tongfu looked at Zhao Xiaotong beside him with a look of surprise on his face, and he suddenly felt a sense of pride. He had climbed Qingyu Mountain several times.
"You guys are here, come and have some hot tea and something to eat."
Fu's mother sat at a stall in front of the temple. After walking for a while, she felt exhausted. After coming up, she couldn't wait to find a stall and have a bowl of steaming wontons.
After eating, she still couldn't find her husband and the others near the temple, so she had to continue waiting for Lin Jiaojiao and the others there, and then she would burn incense and worship Buddha with them.
Lin Jiaojiao brought everyone to the stall and asked a few questions. After everyone was not very hungry, they asked for hot water to fill the kettle and walked towards the temple together.
As soon as you walk through the gate, you will see that the place is crowded and filled with smoke. People are holding three incense sticks and worshiping Buddha, and then they put the incense in the big incense burner in the courtyard.
Because no one else could pay for the incense, everyone lined up to buy incense. After buying, everyone started to go their separate ways to find a place to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
Lin Jiaojiao and her husbands entered the main hall and looked up at the Bodhisattva sitting in the center. They bowed their heads devoutly, raised the incense sticks to the height of their foreheads, closed their eyes, made wishes three times, and then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.
Her wish is the same as flying Kongming lanterns on New Year's Eve, peace, happiness and everything goes well.
As soon as I left the hall, I saw Mr. Jiang's servant coming over to greet me.
"Miss, husband, the master is afraid that you will get lost, so he specially asked me to lead you to the Zen room in the backyard to rest and have a vegetarian meal together later."
"Okay, let's go."
Su Tongpan also came over and invited them to have a vegetarian meal at her place. She had refused last time, and it would be bad to refuse again now that people were already here.
She went to the Su family herself. Because women and men sat at different tables, she asked Lin Yiyan and the others to stay at the Jiang family. They felt more comfortable since they knew each other.
Then she followed Su Tongpan to the Zen room. When they arrived at the Zen room, there was only Grandmother Su and an elderly nun inside.
The nun closed her eyes and chanted Buddhist mantras, while beating a wooden fish with one hand and turning Buddhist beads with the other.
Grandma Su waved to Lin Jiaojiao and asked her to sit next to her. She smiled and nodded, then tiptoed over and sat down.
When the nun opened her eyes, Grandma Su couldn't wait to hand her Su Minjiao's birth date.
"Master, look, eighteen years ago you said there might be a glimmer of hope, and you were right, and he is still alive..."
The old nun just glanced at the paper, raised her cloudy eyes and looked at Lin Jiaojiao, then raised her hand to stop Grandma Su's excited words, and slowly spoke.
"What is your current date of birth?"
