After climbing halfway up the mountain, Ke Mu and Lin Yuan continued to climb towards the top of the mountain, and the rest were responsible for finding a place to camp.

Most of the modern mountains are artificially mined, and the roads up the mountain are all artificially built stone roads, and the weeds on the roadside are also cleared, so the road is much smoother.

The place is surrounded by mountains, the trees are green and overlapping, and the leaves of some trees are turning yellow. On the road, I can see a few wild persimmon trees from a distance. The trees are full of fruits, and they are red hanging on the branches. When I approached, I found that some were pecked by birds. Still hanging on the branches, a gust of wind blows and is mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus, which is refreshing.

Ke Mu and the others stopped and went, far away from the camp.

Ke Mu had already taken off his coat and tied it around his waist. His forehead was covered with fine sweat. He didn't stop and walked slowly up the mountain. It's not that difficult to walk.

Lin Yuan followed behind, holding incense in his hand, not as tired as Ke Mu.

The more you go up, the more tiring you are. When you look down to the bottom, you will be surrounded by mountains, and occasionally you will hear a few flying birds. You can't see a single person, and you will feel much lonely.

Ke Mu gasped for breath, but his mind calmed down a lot. He also wanted to understand that always feeling unsatisfactory when things go wrong is just a bad mentality. If the mentality is good, everything will naturally go smoothly.Since he was rescued, he has never looked forward to it, has no revenge or repayment, and is more content with the situation, which has changed his previous way of life. After a long time, he probably lost his way.

Live in the present, do whatever you want, he can search for the truth of his dreams, he can chase after Lin Yuan if he likes it, he can't stop his progress just because he was injured, he is afraid of what kind of man he is.

"Hey, how are you?" Ke Mu stopped suddenly, put his hands together by his mouth, and shouted towards the forest.

"Ke Mu, what are you afraid of? There is nothing to be afraid of." Ke Mu felt refreshed and then shouted again, startling a group of birds in the forest to fly high.

Lin Yuan looked at him with a smile, considering whether he should also shout twice, only to hear someone yelling something loudly.

"Ah...it hurts." Hearing the voice was nearby.

Ke Mu was delighted, he raised his feet and walked towards the fork road, this is an unfinished road, the yellowed leaves are scattered on the loess, and he can still hear shouting and cursing when he walks forward, and after walking a few steps, he sees a monk walking towards the road. The monkey on the tree scolded.

"Splash the monkey, put down the robe." The monk angrily yelled at the monkey.

The monkey grabbed his clothes and hung them upside down on the branch. He didn't know whether he knew he was being scolded or saw someone coming, so he called a few times, let go of his hands, and fled. The monk's clothes fluttered in the wind and fell in the distance. Climb down and pick it up.

When the monk got the clothes, Ke Mu stepped forward and pulled him up.

"This monkey is really naughty." Ke Mu glanced at the ground, which was full of oranges, and there was a cloth bag next to it, which the monk used to store oranges.

"This monkey is playful, but let him pick fruit for a few days. Today is a strike." The monk squatted down with a smile, and picked up the oranges into the cloth bag.

"He can pick oranges, that's amazing. Are all these orange trees planted in your temple?" Ke Mu exclaimed, the monkey who can pick oranges is really obedient.

"It's all wild. After you find it, take care of it a little bit. If it's immature, pick some back." The monk replied.

"Is it the same with the persimmons I saw on the road? I thought wild persimmons could grow so well." Only then did Ke Mu realize that there were no weeds under the persimmon tree. Someone was tending it.

"I don't have time today. The persimmons won't be picked until tomorrow." The monk tied the cloth bag tightly, looked in the direction the monkey was running away from, and seemed to be waiting for the monkey to come back to find him.

Ke Mu also helped out, chatting with people automatically, and Lin Yuan silently participated in it.

The three of them picked up the oranges in a short while, stood aside to rest, and waited for a long time without seeing the monkey come back.

The three went up the mountain together. Although the monk was carrying a bag of oranges, he didn't look too tired.

"I don't know what is the wish of the benefactor in the temple?" The monk looked for a topic to chat.

"It's nothing special. I suddenly figured it out on the way here. It's just that the nightmare disturbs people at night. I'm used to it." Ke Mu scratched his head and smiled lightly.

"Dreams are born with a heart, the benefactor can't let go of the past, this new life is mediocre, it's very good that the benefactor has realized this time." The monk looked at him seriously, and suddenly became more profound.

"Indeed, I was too worried before." Ke Mu walked and chatted, panting from exhaustion, but fortunately, he could already see the shadow of the temple.

After listening to Ke Mu's words, Lin Yuan did not refute. Anyway, they all went up the mountain, so we can talk about it after paying respects.

Seeing him like this, the monk didn't talk to him anymore, the journey seemed to be short when someone was with him, and he could see the three big characters of Huaguang Temple when he looked up.

Ke Mu seemed to see the dawn of victory, and his footsteps became brisk. When he entered the courtyard, he saw a monk sweeping the fallen leaves, and when he saw them, he came up to meet them.

"Brother, you are lazy again." The monk scolded him as soon as he came up, but his face was smiling.

"Your senior brother, I have a Buddha in my heart, so I don't need to copy the scriptures." The monk didn't want to copy the scriptures, so he ran out secretly, and there were still a lot of reasons.

"Okay, this benefactor, please ask my junior brother to say hello, I'll go find that monkey." After the monk finished speaking, he quickly slipped away.

"Amitabha, may the benefactor come to make a wish or fulfill it?" The monk put his hands together and looked at Ke Mu.

"We're here to find Monk Wuchen." Ke Mu panted, speaking intermittently.

"This..." The monk looked at him with a strange expression on his face.

The monk glanced at the direction where the senior brother was leaving, and wanted to say something, remembering what the senior brother had confessed in the morning, he was relieved.

"What's wrong?" Could it be that there is no such person, Ke Mu inevitably thinks about the worst.

Ke Mu pushed the people beside him, didn't he say that he asked Master Wuchen to release the lottery, but the monk's expression was really weird.

"Brother Wuchen had already expected the benefactor to come, and he left a message for me to pass on to the benefactor." The monk said.

"Also please tell the benefactor." Ke Mu started to speak nonchalantly, thinking that Wuchen still had some ability to know that they were coming to the mountain.

"All conditioned dharmas are all due to the combination of causes and conditions. When the conditions arise, they arise and the conditions disappear. It's just like this." The monk recited a Buddhist saying, and Ke Mu was in a fog.

Ke Mu read it silently, and felt that the sentence sounded very pleasant, but unfortunately he didn't understand the severity.

"It's all here, we still have to offer incense to Lord Buddha." Ke Mu thanked, and went to offer incense with Lin Yuan.

Under the leadership of the young monk, the two offered incense to the Lord Buddha. Lin Yuan made a wish and returned the money for the incense before leaving.

After resting for a while, the two went down the mountain. The way down the mountain was easier than the way up. Lin Yuan walked in front, and Ke Mu walked behind. He didn't dare to walk too fast, fearing that inertia would make him rush forward.

Ke Mu was in a good mood, passing by the red persimmon tree and went to pick a few, but a shadow came out, and one of the persimmons disappeared, and it was the monkey who snatched his persimmons.

"Puhou, give it to your master." Ke Mu subconsciously shouted, he thought monkeys should not eat persimmons.

"It's really a monkey." Ke Mu murmured.

"Drink some water." Lin Yuan opened the bottle cap and gave him the water, and put the persimmons into his backpack.

The persimmons are not edible yet, and they need to be covered with apples and oranges for a few days before they can be taken home. It is completely fine to put them in the bag. The bag is naturally carried by Lin Yuan, and it is enough for Ke Mu to take care of his clothes from the beginning to the end.

Ke Mu remembered the monk from before, and thought it was not good to just take away the persimmons, so he asked Lin Yuan for a few pieces of Mao Zedong, put them in a food packaging bag, and pressed them under the persimmon tree with stones.

When they returned to the camp, there was a young monk on the mountain who was disturbed by the monkey. He walked like flying to the persimmon tree where Ke Mu put the money. Get Grandpa Mao.

"Pohou, you have lost money." The monk scolded with a smile.

Holding the money in his hand, the monk clasped his hands together and said something in the direction of Ke Mu and his rest, Amitabha.

21, temptation

The first thing Ke Mu and the others did when they returned to the camp was to find a shady place to rest. Although it was autumn, the sun was still hot, but it was very cool in the morning and evening. This is what Qiuhu said.

"It's so hot." Ke Mu innocently tugged at the neckline, and felt his whole body was hot after he calmed down, especially under the sun, his face was tanned white and red, which was really beautiful.

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw this, and wiped his sweat with his sleeves in a daze, but he was very cooperative and raised his head to reveal his fair neck, which aroused people's imagination.

"Drink some water. The housekeeper said there is a stream not far away. I'll take you there." Lin Yuan was also hot and irritable. He unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it to Ke Mu.

Ke Mu took the water and drank it down, his Adam's apple moved up and down, making a gurgling sound, sweat slid down his ears, stayed at his Adam's apple playfully for a while, and then slipped into his neck.

"Cough cough... drink slowly." Lin Yuan forced himself not to look at him, fearing that he couldn't restrain himself and punish him here.

Ke Mu drank most of the bottle of water, Lin Yuan drank the rest of the water, went to the tent to get a change of clothes and took him to the stream to wash himself.

Lin Yuan knew that he liked to be clean, so he brought all his things with him, and when he waited for someone to enter the water, he did not forget to tell him to move quickly so as not to catch a cold.

Weeds were cleared along the way, and the road to the water was also opened by Wang Hailong and the others. After clearing a narrow road to the water, Ke Mu thought that the big bucket of water next to the stove was probably brought here.

Ke Mu went down to wash his face, it was cool and comfortable, he took off his shoes when he felt uncomfortable, rolled up his trousers, stepped into the water with bare feet, waded towards the upper stream, and only remembered to shout when he walked far away. Lin Yuan went into the water.

"The water here is deep, come down and wash." Ke Mu then called to him.

When Lin Yuan came to Ke Mu's side, he had already taken off his shirt and threw his clothes on the big dry rock. Ke Mu saw him coming and immediately turned around, turning his back to the person.

"Turn around, I'll be fine soon."
