C117

Before dark, I arrived at Hong Kong and then drove a long way before I saw the temple.

The temple is a rather majestic temple, I have heard, these are a thousand years of architecture, in the top of the Tianhua Mountain, all day long clouds. Just like the famous temple, the temple was filled with pilgrims. Although it was already dark, there were still people walking down the mountain. There were also five or six cars in the parking lot, and as soon as I stopped, a man came over and asked me if I wanted to spend the night or count the hours.

I replied, "I don't know. I'm going up the mountain to look for someone."

He smiled, revealing a row of yellow and black teeth. "Just take it as time. Thirty dollars an hour."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"Handsome, this place is not safe. Why don't you stop at will? I won't help you keep it. This is a sports car, it's expensive. Are you willing to part with it?"

This was a scam, but there was no other way it could be stopped!

After giving me two hundred bucks, I went up the mountain. It was already dark by then, but the way up the mountain was made of white slate, and I could just make out that it was a little scary. The wind rustling the grass and trees on both sides, and the sound of all kinds of small animals, it was a little creepy.

It was Cao Fangyi, asking me where I was, and she was preparing to go to He Lingshan's house. I told her that I was in Hong Kong City, and she was very fierce, scolding me for two whole minutes.

Arriving at the entrance of the temple, I saw a monk, probably a gatekeeper, about forty years old. He asked me a lot of questions, like checking, and then he took out a box for me to donate. Just like that, I donated a hundred yuan, the monk gave me a stick of incense, made a gesture of invitation.

After walking a few steps, I remembered that I was looking for someone, I turned around and said to the monk, the monk told me to go first, then asked the receptionist, and would take me there, he was still speaking the truth, I was in the main hall, and sure enough, I saw another monk. After explaining things clearly, the monk led me out the side door, passed through a few doors and arrived in front of a house in the back courtyard, made a gesture of invitation, and he returned along the road.

I knocked on the door and it opened and went in and found a small hall with five or six statues of Buddha, all very dim and with a woman kneeling on a prayer mat in front of the biggest Buddha in the middle. It should be Yuan Qiaoyun, her back looking very young, dressed very simply, when she walked closer, he saw her holding onto a buddhist bead, her lips moving as she chanted a scripture.

"Excuse me, is that Aunt Yuan?" I called from the side.

There was no reaction. I continued to chant and shouted, but there was still no reaction. It seemed that the scripture had not finished reciting. I patiently waited and observed this small hall. It was very simple and crude. Other than the Buddha statue and incense table, there was nothing else.

After 10 minutes, I probably finished reciting the scripture. The woman turned towards me and upon seeing her appearance, I immediately went mute. Am I not Ling Qian? Other than being older, there was no difference!

"Who are you?" Her voice was somewhat similar to Ling Qian's.

"It was Ling Qian who asked me to come."

She got up and started for the side door, and I followed her to a small hall, where she sat cross-legged at a rectangular table in the middle and pointed me in the other direction.

When I sat down, she didn't say anything, just looked at me for three or four minutes, then said, "Have you eaten?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Do you want to eat?"

I nodded. "Fine!"

She was silent again when a monk came in with a basket in his hand, inside was a meal, he took it out and put it on the table, then he went out again and came in two minutes later with a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Eat, don't talk. Wait for me to finish eating."

I nodded, wondering what this woman was doing. Seems like she is Ling Qian's mother. She has been studying at this temple for a long time, right? Was it because he had made a mistake and felt guilty that he was reciting atonement, or was it to help the chairman recover earlier? He didn't know, so he couldn't guess. What's more … I'm hungry. Even though it's fast, it should still taste good.

It was already half an hour after we finished our fast food. She poured me some tea and asked, "What does Qian'Er want from me?"

I handed the Filing bag I brought over to her and said, "Let me give you this."

She took it, undid it, and took out a thick stack of A4 paper. I waited by her side for half an hour before she filled it up and gave it back to me. She then drank her tea without a sound. No questions? "

"Is Qian'er doing well?"

I thought about it and said, "I think... I don't know. "

"Is there a smile every day?"

I honestly replied, "Yes, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm having fun or if it's from the heart."

"Are you working for her?"

"You could say that."

"Forget it, you are all doing meaningless things. Ling Wei is right, you should bring me a sentence, each word is like a Buddha, each word is like a devil, the gains and losses are never what we seem to be, she is still young, and time is like a river, the left bank is an unforgettable memory, the youth on the right is worth grasping, in the middle is the faint sadness of youth, there are many beautiful things in the world, but the ones that really belong to me don't really exist, control what you own, for example youth."

I thought about what she had said. Although her words were a little messy, they were undoubtedly reasonable, and what surprised me was that Ling Wei was right. What we were doing was meaningless. Persuade Ling Qian to give up?

"Do you remember?"

I nodded.

"You can go now."

Do I have anything else to say? She walked out, walked in front of me, and took out a bunch of things from her neck, like a safety amulet. She passed them to me and said, "Give this to Qian'er, let her go on a trip to see me. It's good as well, life is like a dream, time passes quickly, if we don't pay attention we won't find it, why wait until we find it?"

"I will give it to Ling Qian."

"Take care of her when you have time. She's also a bitter child. Protect her well, let's go!" She walked back and closed the door.

I went down the mountain, I was confused, Yuan Qiaoyun's speech was always so weird, could it be that she was reciting scriptures or something? She also said that Ling Qian is a bitter child, maybe, I just thought that her living conditions were very good.

I went down the mountain and walked according to my phone. I walked rather slowly and my mind was in a mess. He felt like he had been gone for a long time, so he went back to the car and looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock. He guessed that it would be around 11 AM when he returned to Hong Kong. It would be weird if he did not get scolded to death by Cao Fangyi.

I drove away, and just as I left Hong Hua City, I received a call from He Lingshan, asking if I had returned home. They had already waited for a long time. What could I say? It could only mean that she would study it later.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find someone to do something. When I get back, it'll be 11 o'clock!"

He Lingshan sighed: "Seriously, Cao Fangyi has already arranged everything, if you have something to say, just say it. She wants to scold you to death."

"I'm sorry."

"Alright, be careful while driving. I'm hanging up."

Just as I expected, I returned to Hong Kong City at 11: 00 PM. I called Ling Qian and she told me to go to the garden where she got off the car. I drove there and she was already waiting outside the door.

"What?" Do you live in there? "

"I'll let you in."

Just open it, why are you being so fierce?

She first got off the car, and without saying a word, she walked towards the corridor. She then went into the elevator and brought me to the 18th floor, to her home. Contrary to my imagination, her house was not very grand, but rather casual. The most important part was that it was very cold, and the moment they entered, they would feel a cold energy. Other than Ling Qian, there were definitely very few people who came up.

Ling Qian pointed to a sofa and said, "Sit, don't move."

She brought me a beer and put it in front of me. She looked at me, and just as I was about to speak, she got up again and went back into the room. In a moment she gave me a driver's license.

"Done?" Heh heh, Lingtong, you really are powerful. "

"Divine abilities my ass." Ling Qian actually dared to swear, this was the second time, right? It's just money. Although money isn't omnipotent, it can accomplish many things that you can't even imagine. "

"Understood."

"What did Yuan Qiaoyun tell you?"

"That's your mom. Can you not call her by her name?"

Ling Qian glared: What does this have to do with you? "Let's get down to business. Don't worry about what you shouldn't care about, and don't talk about what you shouldn't say."

"Alright!" I thought back and described the whole meeting with her mother, including what her mother had said. Although I didn't completely remember every word, I still knew the gist of it …

"That's all she said? Nothing else? "

"That's all, she said it after reading the documents, she said Ling Wei."

"Don't mention Ling Wei, she's still the same. Why didn't she help me? I doubt if I'm her daughter. "

I didn't say anything.

"Stupid, I'm asking you a question!"

"Lingtong, you told me not to say what I shouldn't say. If I didn't say it, you'd have an opinion. Seeing that Ling Qian had the urge to find something to smash me, I said, "Alright, I will share my opinion. Firstly, Lingtong, I feel that your mother really loves you, but for some reason, I don't support you in doing what you think is right, so it is unknown. From her words that I told you to tell you, she only wants you to be happy." "And she told me to give you this. She took it from her neck, and for a moment her eyes were full of love. And she told me to take care of you and protect you."

Ling Qian took the peace talisman and said: "Scram, hurry up and scram."

[What do you mean? It doesn't matter if you say it or not. How can you let me live when you are so savage?]

Of course, I can't argue with Ling Qian. I even felt that she was a bit pitiful, as her mother didn't understand her for some reason. Actually, I could tell that Ling Qian really cared about her mother, and her mother also cared about Ling Qian. It's just that, weirdly, they didn't express it much. In short, for the first time, I felt that Ling Qian was only a weak woman who needed protection, that all the power was just a disguise.

After leaving Ling Qian's house, she took the elevator to the first floor, fished for cigarettes and found the key, he forgot to return the car key to Ling Qian, there was no other way, she could only turn back.
