Reborn As a Top Student In the 1990s

Chapter 55 Heading to Tongyang Temple

Chapter 56 Heading to Tongyang Temple

As the train swayed far away, Fang Qing opened the window on one side and lay down on the window to look into the distance.

A small house occasionally appeared in the endless cornfield, with smoke rising from the kitchen, reflecting the rising sun in the distance and the green mountains behind it. Fang Qing's heart, which had been agitated for a long time, finally calmed down.

　　After the unpleasant incident with Wen’s mother in the hospital that day, Fang Qing never saw the Wen family again.

Her mother said that both Wen Ling and Wen Ning came to see her, but she refused to leave the house, so her mother could only persuade them to leave.

Fang Qing sighed. Although Aunt Wen's words made her very uncomfortable and even felt aggrieved at the time, after she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she seemed to have been very unlucky in the past two years.

First I met gangsters, and then I was attacked at school. It finally got over, and Wen Ling was kidnapped...

Fortunately, everything passed without incident, but looking back now, it was indeed because of myself that I caused all this. Is it really like what Aunt Wen said, that I was a broom star?

Fang Qing lay on the window and was puzzled. She didn't believe in these ghosts and gods before, but she was able to be reborn. What else is impossible?

 Just thinking about having to be alone again in the future, Fang Qing still felt a little disappointed. After all, she also longed for friends...

The eldest brother Fang Ming saw his sister looking out the window in a daze again. He was afraid that she would think wildly again, so he took out the poker from his pocket and handed it to his sister, "Do you want to play some?"

Fang Qing felt bored and shook his head in refusal.

Fang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "You can win 50 cents a time!"

Fang Qing turned around in surprise, "How come you are so generous today and dare to play such a big game? Don't you want to save money?"

Fang understood her and said, "What a joke, am I bound to lose? Do you dare to play?"

This was the first time that Fang Qing saw his brother so cheerful, so he immediately changed his attention, stretched and sat back, "Come on, whoever loses will be treated to ice cream..."

Fang Ming shuffled the cards and said, "Young man, just don't cry for a while..."

 As the sun set in the west, the four members of the Fang family finally got off the bus at Taishan Station.

Fang Qing touched the ten dollars in his pocket and winked at his elder brother proudly, "Brother, thank you very much!"

Although Fang Ming's body ached, his sister finally no longer had a cold face. It was worth losing the money. She carried a big bag and tossed her hair coolly, "It's not a big deal."

The family of four walked out of the platform, feeling a little confused in front of a strange city.

Fang’s mother had never been out so far before, so she grabbed her pocket and didn’t know what to do next. On the other hand, Father Fang calmly asked the three mothers to follow him, "If anyone stops you later, just ignore them. Just follow me."

Although Fang Qing has lived two lifetimes, he has never traveled far, let alone come to a strange city to find reliable accommodation. He can only grab his backpack and follow his family quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the train station, a group of people gathered around him. They pulled a few people and said there was a very good hotel. Father Fang refused with a cold face and increased his speed.

But Fang’s mother had never seen much of the world. Although her husband warned her not to pay attention, the people surrounding her talked so wildly that Fang’s mother was actually moved, “Decai, this eldest sister said that her hotel was newly built. It’s clean and cheap, why don’t we go take a look?”

Father Fang took a few steps and saw that no one was following him. When he turned around, his wife was about to follow him with gleaming eyes. He suddenly lost his temper. He came back, took his wife and children and left the place quickly.

"we do not need!"

Seeing her husband's face sinking, Fang's mother could only close her mouth and leave.

The four of them walked along the main street for a long time. Father Fang saw a noodle shop and took his family in. He ordered a few bowls of noodles and two side dishes, and chatted with the boss while eating.

The boss is a local, good at craftsmanship and very enthusiastic. I heard that the family came to the temple to offer incense, and I immediately became interested.

"There is no other famous temple in our Taishan Mountain! Not to mention the surrounding mountains and temples, let's talk about the Tongyang Temple on Jingtai Mountain. It has a history of hundreds of years at least. I heard that it was there a while ago. Several experts have come to renovate this temple..."

 After the meal, the four of them ate comfortably and had a pleasant chat with the boss. Father Fang gave full play to his expertise in dealing with people when he worked in the countryside. Not only did he learn the route to Tongyang Temple from the boss, he also learned about two hotels with good reputations.

After paying the money, Fang’s father and his family followed the noodle shop owner’s instructions and quickly found the hotel.

Hand over the ID card and household registration book, the hotel staff determined that this was a family of four and recommended a suite and two double rooms to them. The suite was suitable for the mother and the other. Finally, they paid the money and got the key.

The suite is located on the second floor of the hotel. The room is spacious and clean, with a wide view. Fang Qing finally chose the small bed in the small room, while the eldest brother, his parents, chose the two large beds outside.

 After a night's rest, Father Fang called everyone up before dawn the next day and headed to Tongyang Temple in the dark.

The early morning wind blew across his cheeks, bringing with it moist vapor and the refreshing breath of the mountains. Fang Qing raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, looked at the towering mountain peaks and sighed, "How long will it take to get to the top?"

The father and mother, who had already walked far away, turned around and saw the two brothers and sisters who were lagging behind. They waved their arms and shouted at them, "Hurry up and don't stop! It will be even harder to climb when the sun comes out soon."

The brother and sister were breathing heavily, holding on to their knees and taking one step at a time. After walking for who knows how long, I finally saw a pavilion halfway up the mountain. At this time, there were already two white-haired old people in the pavilion. Although they looked very old, they were in good spirits. I saw a family of four climbing up, looking at them with smiles and asking questions.

 The old couple lived at the foot of the mountain and were originally university professors in the province. Now that I have retired, I have returned to my hometown in the countryside to take care of myself. The two of them would climb this mountain every morning. When they reached the top of the mountain, they could listen to the evening drums and morning bells, and occasionally catch a fast meal in the temple. Their life was very comfortable and relaxing.

The old lady seemed to like Fang Qing very much. She kept asking Fang Qing how old she was and what she wanted to do in the future. Fang Qing was very kind and patient to the old man and answered patiently with a smile.

I heard that the family of four not only came out to relax, but more importantly, they wanted the Buddha’s light from the temple to remove the bad luck from their daughter. Hearing this, the old couple laughed and said, "We are in this age, we don't care about this! But Master Huizhi on the mountain is very knowledgeable in calligraphy, painting and philosophy. If you can meet him, your trip will not be in vain." …”

　　Farewell to the two old people, the family of four continued to move forward, listening to the chirping of birds in the mountains and the tinkling of the streams. When the sun climbed to the top of the mountain, the family of four finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

Crossing a stone path, Fang Qing carefully separated the trees on both sides, and everyone finally saw the legendary Tongyang Temple.
