It is still cloudy, there is no sun, and the sky and the earth are earthy.
Slowly walk up the flat slope, with trees on the right and ocean on the left.
There are tourists around, not festivals, so most of the people who come to worship the mountain are middle-aged and elderly people.
The breath of old age and the smell of incense from the mountain temple make Putuo more peaceful and distant.
Although there were many elderly people, they walked vigorously and vigorously, walking past Bai Lu and Xu Hui one by one.
Anyway, it was very busy, and the two of them walked very slowly.
Walking halfway, they felt that there were too many people piled up ahead, so they simply sat down on the stone benches by the roadside to rest.
The sweat in the mountains was also cool, and Xu Hui was relatively weak and sweated a lot.
"Let go." Bai Lu said, her hand was still held by Xu Hui.
Xu Hui glanced at her indifferently, and Bai Lu said, "I'll take things."
Letting go of her hand, Bai Lu noticed that there was also a thin layer of sweat on the palm he had pulled.
Bai Lu took out a tissue and a water bottle from her bag.
He took out one and gave it to Xu Hui, "Wipe it."
Xu Hui took it, Bai Lu watched him wipe his sweat and said, "I'm really tired this time."
When Xu Hui heard her suppressed smile, he also put down the tissue, wanting to have a good talk.
"White-"
A small hand was stretched out in front of him, and on it was the lid of a thermos cup.
"Drink something."
"..." Xu Hui took a sip, "Hot?"
"Well, safflower honey water, nourishes the stomach, don't eat and drink indiscriminately."
Xu Hui didn't care, shrugged, raised his head and finished drinking the water in the glass.
The water is warm, the ratio of various ingredients is reasonable, it is sweet but not greasy, and there is still a lingering fragrance in your mouth after drinking it.
Occasionally, in a blink of an eye, Bai Lu still had the same expression just now, and she didn't take her hand back.
Shake it.
The small voice said: "See clearly, this is my hand."
"..."
Xu Hui's honey water almost didn't come out just now.
take a deep breath.
Just when Xu Hui was about to educate her with a stormy spirit and let her know who should listen to whom, a gust of wind suddenly blew up.
The wind came from behind, carrying the breath of the tide.
Her hair, and hers, were rippling with the gust of wind.
He looked at her, and suddenly realized that it would be a waste of emotion to get angry with someone like Bai Lu.
Because he will never be angry with her.
Casually having fun, I don't know if I want to understand or want to open it.
"What's wrong?" Bai Lu asked softly from the side.
He turned his head and glanced at Bai Lu.
With a smile on her face, Bai Lu asked again, "What's wrong?"
Without moving his eyes, Xu Hui came over with one hand and put the lid back on the thermos.
Putting his hands behind his back, Xu Hui shook his neck. When Bai Lu was about to speak again, Xu Hui said, "Want to say more?"
"you-"
He picked up the collar, squinted his eyes, and said to her: "Besides, I will find a way to gag your mouth."
"..."
How to block, what to use, Bai Lu sat back silently.
Sure enough, it still works.
"Let's go, we've rested long enough." Bai Lu said.
Xu Hui also felt that he rested for a long time, and now his whole body is full of energy and blood. He pulled Bai Lu's bag over, carried it on one shoulder, and took her hand.
"Walk."
They followed the crowd and continued to move forward, when suddenly an old woman's voice beside them said, "Oh, Guanyin!"
Everyone looked to the right one after another, there was a small gap between the dense forest leaves, and the towering Guanyin statue of the South China Sea could really be seen.
From this angle, you can see the entire face of Guanyin. Because it is huge, even if it is far away, the facial features of Guanyin are as clear as if it is right in front of you.
Avalokitesvara is golden in color, with a wonderful and serene face, holding a Dharma wheel in her left hand, and a fearless seal in her right hand, looking down on the world with her wisdom eyes.
The crowd seemed to quiet down.
"Let's go." Bai Lu took his hand, while Xu Hui was still watching from a distance.
"Ok."
After bypassing the woods, the road came to an end, and on the hilltop of Guanyin Jumping at the southernmost tip of Shuangfeng Mountain, the statue of Guanyin in the South China Sea finally appeared in front of people as a whole.
"It's so high..." Xu Hui looked up.
The pedestal of the South China Sea Avalokitesvara Statue has three floors, a total of 33 meters high, and the base area is more than 5,000 square meters. Although Bai Lu has checked the photos and introductions before coming here, the feeling of standing here in real life is completely different from looking at the photos. It's two different things.
Guanyin's cheeks are full, her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, she is merciful and compassionate, and her charm is full.
I don't know if it is because there is no blue sea and clear sky today, the Guanyin under the yellow sky is more solemn and dignified.
Bai Lu felt that her hand was being held tightly, and she looked at Xu Hui, whose hair was blown by the strong wind, his eyes were half-closed, his exposed forehead was clean and tidy, and his nose was handsome and straight.
There were many people posing for pictures on the wide platform, and Bai Lu and Xu Hui didn't seem to like taking pictures very much.
"Go up and have a look." Bai Lu pulled Xu Hui.
"it is good."
Standing on the viewing platform and looking into the distance, there are sea waves and mountains.
There are a few ships on the sea, because the ocean is so vast, they seem to be still on the water.
Going back to the lower floor, there is a stone-carved wall on the back of Guanyin, with complex and ingenious craftsmanship, which attracts tourists to stop and appreciate.
The scenery was beautiful, Xu Hui and Bai Lu found a place slightly out of the way to sit down.
"Order this way." Bai Lu beckoned Xu Hui to sit inside. "It's too windy."
The wind is indeed very strong, and it blows in bursts. Whenever the wind blows in the open place not far in front, the tourists in the tour group cover their faces tightly, and their silk scarves and hats fly everywhere.
From where Bai Lu and the others were sitting, only Guanyin's back and half of his face could be seen.
When she was slightly dazed, her arm was touched.
Turning her head, it was a glass of warm water—Xu Hui took out the thermos from her bag.
"Drink a little."
Bai Lu took the drink, but Xu Hui still wanted to pour it down, Bai Lu shook her head and said, "No need, I can't drink anymore." Xu Hui frowned, "Why do you eat and drink so little, why are you feeding the cat?"
Bai Lu looked at him and said softly, "It's easy to feed."
Xu Hui poured himself two cups to drink, then sneered, and said indifferently: "Don't mention one, you and I can raise ten, believe it or not?"
Bai Lu tilted her head to look at him, "Do you want to find ten in the future?"
"..."
Xu Hui didn't bother to return her, so he gave her a pale look and then drank water.
She looked at him with his head held high, and felt that under the lightly moving black hair, there was a dry and youthful arrogance hidden in it.
"Drink slowly, and no one will grab it from you."
Xu Hui drank half of the bottle in one go, then lowered his head, his lips glowed with moisture.
"Believe it or not?" He drank for a long time, still entangled in the question just now.
Bai Lu said briskly, "I believe."
Only then was he satisfied, and raised his hand to rub the soft hair he liked.
The wind blows the sea and the forest.
Waves and pines are rolling in layers, one after another.
On the pure land, it seems that feelings have become flawless.
Or maybe these two meager lives are pure, and the wind just blows away the mist and mountains on their life journey, and then points forward, saying silently——
Look, there is still a long way to go.
The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, leaning on the cool stone slab, leaning against each other involuntarily.
There was another gust of wind blowing ahead, and the tourists pulled their coats and hats while laughing, with funny gestures.
Avalokitesvara remained motionless in the strong wind, standing quietly.
"It's time to go back." After sitting for a long time, Bai Lu said.
The timing was really accurate, and as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Hui's cell phone rang.
Sun Yuhe called.
"Where are you guys?" Sun Yuhe asked, "It's been a long time since I've been walking."
"Avalokitesvara in the South China Sea."
"It's quite a long run! Let's go back. We have to arrange a place to stay for the night. There are so many people today. What if the reservation is late and there is no room?"
"how is this possible."
"Anyway, come back soon. We're almost done. We're just waiting for you two. We're still gathering at the place where we just entered the mountain."
After putting down the phone, Bai Lu and Xu Hui packed up their things and got up.
It was past four o'clock, the sun began to sink slowly, and there were fewer tourists than when we first arrived.
"Let's go." Xu Hui led Bai Lu back, "Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry, how about you?"
"I'm fine."
"When I go back, find a place to live first, and then go out to eat."
Returning along the same route, Bai Lu and Xu Hui were indeed the last to arrive.
Sister Pi asked, "Where are you all going?"
"Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea."
"We're going too!" The third child said beside her, and Da Liu, sweating from behind, stayed by her side. "Just now, why didn't I see you?"
Sister Pi teased, "Hey, where have you been sneaking away?"
Xu Hui sat on the stone to rest generously, leaving Bai Lu alone, and said, "It's right behind Guanyin, didn't you see it?"
The third child laughed loudly, "I'm kidding you! We just wandered around below and didn't go up."
"..."
"Let's go." As the only two unpaired travelers, it would be useless to expect the youngest to make arrangements, so Sun Yuhe could only stand up and be the conductor.
"I just asked. There are many accommodations at Puji Temple, and it's not too far away. Let's go there now."
Everyone, you say one sentence to me, chatting while walking to Puji Temple.
After coming back, Bai Lu took more care of the girls in her dormitory.
Xu Hui and Sun Yuhe walked behind, listening to them talking and laughing, chatting about what they saw and heard in the afternoon.
After a while, I didn't know what was discussed, and several people laughed, and Sister Pi turned around and shouted: "Boss Xu!"
Xu Hui was talking to Sun Yuhe about the precautions in the store in the future, when he heard Sister Pi yelling, he immediately raised his head, "What's wrong?"
Sister Pi said: "I'll look for a hotel later, do you look for it or should we look for it?"
Xu Hui raised his chin, "Look for it."
The third child also turned his head and shouted: "Then how are the rooms allocated!"
Xu Hui: "..."
Sun Yuhe enjoyed himself by the side, and after waiting for a while to see that Xu Hui was really choked up and speechless, he made a rescue and yelled back.
"Can you pay attention? What does the public look like!"
After the girls finished joking, they turned around laughing and chatting.
Before Xu Hui could speak, Sun Yuhe elbowed him.
"What are you still thinking about?" He said half-jokingly, "Is there any need to think about this?" With a stretch of his arms, he put his arms around Xu Hui's shoulders, and said calmly:
"It must be the two of us living together!"
Xu Hui looked at him expressionlessly, and Sun Yuhe pulled his face back and withdrew his hand.
"Damn..." Sun Yuhe pursed his lips, "I'm tired of it every day, I don't know that women have to hang around." Sun Yuhe waved his hand and concluded: "You are strong on the outside, but you are blind to your face, let me do it. "
Xu Hui put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head slightly, "I'll go back and leave..."
"You're afraid she won't bear it."
Sun Yuhe glared, but he was afraid that the naughty girl in front would hear him, so he tried his best to lower his voice.
"Let me tell you Xu Hui, you really have to learn from others. If you want to leave, you can stay. It's amazing." Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "That woman's heart is much clearer than yours. Don't eat radish salty and worry about it."
Xu Hui lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Seeing his disappointment, Sun Yuhe almost died of anger, pointing at Xu Hui, "Just cling to you, I think you've made mistakes in your life—"
Before he could finish speaking, the back of his neck was grabbed again.
"Hey-hey!" Sun Yuhe raised his head, "Stop, stop... stop! I was wrong, can't I be wrong!"
Xu Hui let go of his hand without saying a word, while Sun Yuhe covered his neck, "You can be as good as me."
He rubbed his neck and looked at Xu Hui's hand. His skin was fair, his fingers were slender, and his joints were clean and neat.
Whispered: "You have such a strong hand..."
Xu Hui ignored it, and walked for a while, and when he was about to reach Puji Temple, Sun Yuhe couldn't help coming over to offer an idea.
"I think you still don't feel safe. Otherwise, you might as well just do nothing tonight..." Sun Yuhe looked deeply, and slapped his right palm on the palm of his left hand.
"You just do it for her!"
"..."
Xu Hui glanced at him, but Sun Yuhe couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Ok."
"Okay, I really think this suggestion is good."
"Just say a word and I'll arrange the room for you later!"
"Can you give me an accurate statement..."
"..."
The wind is blowing gently, and the sun is sinking.
Girls are laughing in front, and friends are chattering in their ears.
As Xu Hui was walking, he suddenly felt a feeling welling up in his heart.
He lowered his lips and smiled suddenly.
Like a dragonfly on the water, fleeting and gentle, it's a pity that no one can see it.
