At the foot of Mount Putuo

The master and the disciple got out of the car and looked up at the endless steps. Li Fumei whispered, "Master, why are temples built so high?"

"In order to avoid being disturbed, there will be fewer people climbing higher up the mountain. Wouldn't it be quieter this way? Let's go up and take a look."

Captain Sun from the Special Affairs Department specifically mentioned that this place should not be that simple, and since they were already here, they should go and see what kind of temple had such a powerful statue.

Li Fumei nodded, found two wooden sticks from the side, and each of them took one to prepare to climb the mountain. There were still many people at the foot of the mountain, all carrying mountaineering bags.

When the two of them reached halfway up the mountain, they saw a woman in front of them who was bowing her head three times with every step. Her hair was a little messy and she looked very weathered.

As they passed by, Li Fumei looked down and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, why are you kneeling?"

Qian Guiying raised her head and took a look, her eyes red as she choked up and said, "Pray for my son. I only have one child. I thought that once he came back from the big city, our family would be reunited."

"I didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year a year ago, the child was brought back by a relative who said he had drunk too much and fainted. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he had a head injury and was in a vegetative state."

As the woman spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she could not control the sadness in her heart. Her son had finally been admitted to a 211 university and had worked hard in the big city for ten years.

How could this happen just after I returned to the village?

"I heard that wishes here are very effective, so I thought of coming here to give it a try. What if my son can wake up? Then our family will be reunited."

Li Fumei glanced at the person next to her and blinked: "Master, can you tell me when her son will wake up?"

Su Chen took a look at her face. It shouldn't be like this for a woman with a full palace of fertility, but she said that her son would become a vegetable. There might be something wrong.

"Sister, if you don't mind, you can give me your son's birth date and time, and I'll tell you his fortune. But it'll cost you a thousand yuan."

"This is a rule that cannot be broken. You can decide for yourself whether you want to count it or not."

Before Qian Guiying could say anything, a voice came from above: "Sister Guiying, don't be fooled. There are scammers everywhere now. Fortune telling at home only costs a hundred yuan."

"You can't believe it if you want to climb a mountain and have your fortune told for a thousand. Let's go up the mountain and make a wish directly. Don't let the charlatans fool you."

"Sister-in-law, you go up first. I'm a little tired and want to sit down and rest."

Mrs. Qian curled her lips when she heard this and said unhappily, "Alright, whatever you say. You're such a hard-working mother. You'll climb up anyway for your son."

Qian Guiying pretended not to hear, found a stone beside the stairs and sat down, took out a white flour steamed bun from her backpack, and started eating it with pickles. If she didn't eat something, she would have no strength to climb.

Li Fumei felt sorry for her and looked at the master expectantly: "Master, please help me. Can I give you the money?"

"No, whether or not to have your fortune told depends on fate and personal wishes. It can't be forced."

"Oh, all right then."

Li Fumei took out some snacks from her backpack and handed them over: "Take them, Auntie. The road up the mountain is still long. You should bring more food, otherwise you will run out of energy on the way."

Qian Guiying reached out to take it, and seeing that there was also a box of chocolates, she said with emotion: "Okay, thank you very much, little girl."

"It's okay, Master, let's go up."

The two walked towards the mountain. When they were tired, they sat down to rest and picked some wild fruits on the roadside to eat. The sour and sweet taste was very thirst-quenching.

By the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already noon. Li Fumei was sweating profusely from exhaustion. "Wow, we're finally here. Where is the temple, Master?"

I thought I would see a temple when I came up, but after looking around, I didn't see any temple.

Su Chen pointed and said, "Let's go, follow them."

"it is good."

The people walking in front went into the woods and after ten minutes they saw a temple. It was called a temple but it was actually a very small one and looked dilapidated, except that there were a lot of incense sticks in front of it.
