Chapter 658 Finding Grandma

"Okay."

The man agreed without making any noise or argument and readily agreed. Tang Qi was a little surprised because she had prepared a whole speech in her mind to convince the other party.

This makes me feel like I have thrown a heavy punch but ended up hitting cotton.

Seeing her strange expression, Mo Shao concealed the smile in his eyes and said a little aggrievedly: "As long as you are not angry anymore, it's okay for me to be a little aggrieved."

Tsk, this tone is really like a big white lotus.

Tang Qi glanced at him with an ambiguous expression, "According to what you said, being with me is unfair?"

Mo Shaochen shook his head with a strong desire to save his life, "I feel wronged that I can't be with you all the time."

Tang Qi was angry and amused, "We only met every few days before, but you came over, didn't you?"

That’s because they’re afraid that if they push you too hard, you’ll be scared away.

"Are you still angry?"

"you guess?"

After Tang Qi finished speaking, she stood up with a smile, put the cup of water in his hand, leaned over and pecked him on the lips, then quickly pulled away and left before he could react.

After breakfast, the two set out for Jinglin Temple.

Jinglin Temple is one of the largest and most famous Buddhist temples in City B. It is located on a mountain about 20 kilometers north of the city. It is very popular and receives millions of tourists every year.

Because there was a Buddhist assembly during those days, there were a lot of pilgrims and tourists. As soon as our car reached the foot of the mountain, it was stopped by the traffic police at a checkpoint. All pilgrims and tourists had to go into the mountain on foot.

Mo Shaochen was in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to go up the mountain. Tang Qi considered finding a hotel for Mo Shaochen to rest while she went up the mountain alone to find her grandmother.

"I'll sit in that one."

Following Mo Shaochen's gaze, there was a group of sedan chair bearers in front of them soliciting business.

In fact, it is a "sliding pole" made of bamboo that is produced in abundance in City B. It is polished smooth and treated with special treatments, then dried in the shade to make it strong and tough, and then made into a simple sedan chair. Tourists can sit on this pole and let the sedan bearers carry them up the mountain.

However, I still had to find a hotel to park the car, but after visiting several hotels, there were no rooms available and even no vacancies in the parking lot.

Finally, Tang Qi parked the car in the wasteland on the side of the road and left two bodyguards to guard it.

The road up the mountain is actually quite spacious, but it cannot withstand the large number of pilgrims and tourists. Along the way, there are not only villagers and vendors carrying loads selling drinks, fruits and snacks, but also countless "sleds". The stone road, which is about 5 meters wide, is so hard that it takes more time than walking on a goat path.

By the time we arrived at the gate of Jinglin Temple, it was already noon.

Seeing the two sedan bearers sweating profusely from exhaustion, Tang Qi paid them twice as much as they had agreed on before, "We have to go down the mountain again in the afternoon. If you are willing to pick us up, just wait for us at the door. The price will also be the same."

The originally agreed price was 200 yuan, but Tang Qi gave 400. Although business was good these days, the speed of going up and down the mountain was slow, and there were only four or five trips a day.

One of them took out a business card and handed it to Tang Qi, smiling and saying in the local dialect: "Okay, little sister, when you come out, call the number above. We sedan chair bearers are not allowed to stay at the gate. We will go to the pavilion below and wait for you."

"That's fine." Tang Qi took the business card, thought about it, and took out another 100 yuan to buy lunch and water for the other party.

The prices in the mountains are relatively expensive. An ordinary box lunch costs 30-50 yuan, and a bottle of mineral water costs 10 yuan.

Tang Qi had contacted Sister Liu before coming and knew about her grandmother's activities in the past few days. After entering the temple, Tang Qi took Mo Shaochen directly to the dining hall in the north courtyard to look for someone.

There are three dining halls in Jinglin Temple. The dining hall in the north courtyard is about the same standard as a factory canteen. It costs 20 yuan per person to eat as much as you want, and you will be fined 100 yuan if you waste.

The food and environment in the dining hall of the South Courtyard are relatively refined and elegant, while the East Courtyard has guest rooms and independent courtyards where you can stay in the temple. Of course, the price is not cheap. The cost of an independent courtyard per night ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 yuan. Even at such a high price, it is very difficult to book, especially during Dharma assemblies and holidays.

It was the peak dining time, and there were more than a dozen queues stretching 500 meters long at the entrance of the North Courtyard Dining Hall.

Tang Qi squinted his eyes and took a look, then gave up the idea of ​​looking for someone in person and called Sister Liu directly.

"Qiqi, are you here? Then come over, we are in the middle of the 6th row."

There were people everywhere and the noise was deafening. In addition, Sister Liu was talking on the phone with her back to Luo Guihua and her hand covering her mouth. Luo Guihua didn't understand what was going on until Tang Qi hugged her in his arms.

"Hey, who are you?"

Tang Qi let go of Luo Guihua, her eyes sparkling with sparkling light, and she chuckled, "Grandma, don't you recognize me?"

Luo Guihua stared at Tang Qi with her old, wrinkled eyes for a long while before she suddenly slapped Tang Qi on the arm, speaking incoherently with excitement.

"Qiqi! You, you, oh, why didn't you tell me you were back!"

Before she finished speaking, Luo Guihua's eyes were wet. She held Tang Qi's hands tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear. She looked at her carefully and said, "You have grown taller and prettier. I can't recognize you anymore."

Tang Qi was about to speak with a smile when the pilgrims behind him shouted unhappily, "Newcomers, please line up behind us. Don't cut in line."

Tang Qi and Luo Guihua both subconsciously glanced at the person behind them, who was a middle-aged woman.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

The other person looked unhappy, "What are you looking at? Everyone is queuing up, do you think you can be an exception just because you are pretty?"

Grandma was a very kind person. Just as she was about to explain, Tang Qi had already pulled Luo Guihua out, and Sister Liu followed them consciously.

"Grandma, let's go."

"Oh, okay."

Luo Guihua thought Tang Qi was going to the back to queue up again, but when she reached the back of the line, Tang Qi continued to walk towards the door. She quickly asked, "Qi Qi, where are we going?"

Tang Qi turned around and smiled at Luo Guihua, "I'll take you to see someone."

As they were talking, the three of them walked out of the north courtyard gate.

When Luo Guihua saw Mo Shaochen in the wheelchair, she thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes quickly.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you."

Mo Shaochen took the initiative to slide his wheelchair in front of Luo Guihua and shouted with a smile.

Luo Guihua stared at Mo Shaochen for a while, then looked down at his legs, her expression full of worry: "Ah Chen, you, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Qi hugged Luo Guihua's shoulders and patted her to comfort her: "He had some health problems before, but now he is fine. He is in the recovery stage and will be fine in a few days."

Luo Guihua turned from worry to joy and nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."

As he spoke, his kind eyes fell on Mo Shaochen's face, and he said distressedly: "Ah Chen, you have lost weight." He then looked at Tang Qi, "Qiqi, although you have grown taller, why are you still so skinny and have not gained any flesh at all?"

Sister Liu laughed and interjected, "People in foreign countries eat hamburgers, steaks, salads, etc. I'm sure you're not used to it."

"No wonder they are both so thin..."

Tang Qi interrupted with a smile: "Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's go eat first and talk while we eat, okay?"

"Okay, okay, look at me. I'm so happy that I forget everything. Let's go and have a vegetarian meal. The vegetarian meal here tastes great."

Luo Guihua pulled Tang Qi and turned around to go back to the dining hall in the north courtyard. Tang Qi gently led the old man to the other side and said, "Let's go to the south courtyard to eat. There's no need to queue there."
