Chapter 186 Foot Bath
A group of people started climbing the mountain.
Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong come here several times a year and have been climbing for more than ten years, so it is not difficult at all for two grown men.
Su Meng and Zhao Jiaying felt it was quite easy when they first started climbing. But after walking only one-third of the way, I was so tired that I walked slower and slower.
In fact, Zhao Jiaying can still hold on, because she usually runs and exercises with Ou Zichen, and her physical condition is still good.
It’s Su Meng. Apart from working, she usually stays at home and hardly does any exercise.
So, she couldn't bear it when she was suddenly asked to climb such a high mountain.
Seeing Su Meng panting after climbing up, Zhao Jiaying asked with concern, "Aunt, are you very tired? Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"
Su Meng waved her hand: "No, no, Auntie can hold on for a while longer."
He continued to climb for a while, and when he was still a quarter of the way there, Su Meng could not hold on any longer and stopped.
"No, no, I really can't hold on any longer. I need to rest for a while."
Because at this time, not only her feet were tired, but also the corners of her stomach hurt.
If she didn't stop to rest for a while, she would probably roll down the mountain.
Now, she was a little envious of the pregnant Zhao Yunxi because she didn't have to climb the mountain with them.
Ou Zichen looked at the time. It was already nine thirty-six, and there were still more than ten minutes left.
If it were just him and Ou Zilong, they would have reached the top in more than 20 minutes. However, today, because Su Meng and Zhao Jiaying were there, they deliberately slowed down, fearing that they would not be able to keep up.
There is not much time, but looking at Su Meng's condition, it would be unlikely for her to continue climbing.
"Yingbao, can you still go on?" Ou Zichen asked.
Zhao Jiaying replied in a crisp voice: "Daddy, Yingbao can do it."
"Okay, then you and Daddy come together."
Then he took the things in Ou Zilong's hand and said, "Zilong, Yingbao and I will go up to worship first, you stay here with Su Meng to rest for a while, and you can come up later."
"Okay, bro!"
Although Su Meng is an adult, she is a girl after all. Everyone would be worried if she was left alone halfway up the mountain, so they had to let Ou Zilong stay to accompany her.
Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying continued to move forward.
Zhao Jiaying has short legs, but as long as he keeps talking for ten minutes, he can still get up there.
Ou Zilong and Su Meng sat on the edge of the stairs so as not to hinder others from going up the mountain.
Su Meng leaned on Ou Zilong's shoulder and whispered, "Ou Zilong, do you think I'm a loser? I'm not even as good as Ying Bao. I can get so tired just by climbing a mountain."
"It's not your fault. This is your first time here, and the mountain is quite high, so it's normal for you to find it a little strenuous. Yingbao, you've always been running with big brother, so your physical condition is relatively better than yours."
"In fact, when I first came here, I couldn't move halfway up the mountain. My brother and grandma scolded me so much. So you are much better now than I was back then."
Su Meng looked at Ou Zilong and asked doubtfully, "Is this true? Was it the same for you the first time?"
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"
These words were, of course, meant to lie to Su Meng, just to make her feel better. No matter how incompetent Ou Zilong is, he shouldn't be unable to climb a mountain.
Although he did not choose to join the army, he also learned Taekwondo because Lin Zhenzhu said that boys must know some martial arts so that they can protect themselves and their loved ones in the future.
Sure enough, after listening to Ou Zilong's words, Su Meng felt better. At least she was not sad about not being as good as Zhao Jiaying, because there were people who were worse than her.
"By the way, you said this mountain is so high and difficult to climb, why don't you build a cable car? Wouldn't it be much more convenient for everyone to go up the mountain?"
Su Meng thought that climbing such a mountain was too tiring and difficult.
"I actually thought so at the time. Climbing a mountain is so tiring. If there were a cable car, it would be much easier and more convenient. But grandma told us that the most important thing in worshipping a deity is piety. Although the mountain road is long, only by walking up step by step can the goddess Guanyin see your sincerity, and then she will better bless you and your family."
Repairing the cable car is just a drop in the bucket for the Ou Group. It’s just that Lin Zhenzhu doesn’t want to do that.
In fact, worshiping God is the same as being a human being. If you don’t want to put in the effort, but want to achieve success overnight, it is impossible.
It is impossible to get rich rewards for anything without putting in effort.
It's like you want the goddess Guanyin to bless you, but you don't even want to walk on the road, so why should the goddess Guanyin bless you?
These words made Su Meng feel ashamed. At the same time, I felt that I was holding everyone back, so I quickly stood up.
"I've rested well. Let's go up quickly so as not to keep Big Brother and Ying Bao waiting too long."
"good!"
Since Su Meng can leave, there is naturally no problem for Ou Zilong to leave.
This time, Su Meng did not complain, and walked quickly to the Guanyin Temple with Ou Zilong.
We arrived before the auspicious time, so there was no delay in the worship.
The four people burned incense and kowtowed devoutly in front of the Goddess of Mercy, asking her to bless everyone in their Ou family to be safe and healthy.
After worshipping Guanyin, the two brothers Ou Zichen and Ou Zilong also added a lot of incense money to the Guanyin temple.
After finishing, we prepared to go down the mountain and go home.
Going down the mountain is much easier than going up, and naturally it will take much less time. You can reach the foot of the mountain in just over ten minutes.
When we drove back to the Ou Family Manor, it was just time for lunch. Hiking is quite a lot of exercise, so everyone was hungry and started to eat happily.
After lunch, it was time for a nap. Everyone went to take a nap to catch up on sleep, because they couldn’t go to bed so early at night. They could only go to bed after midnight, after the opening gun was fired.
Therefore, if you don’t sleep in the afternoon, you may not be able to last until 12 o’clock, especially for children, pregnant women and the elderly.
Ou Zilong and Su Meng returned to the room, and Ou Zilong went to the bathroom and got a basin of warm water.
"Why are you bringing out the basin of water?" Su Meng asked curiously.
"I'll soak your feet!"
Ou Zilong placed the basin of water next to the sofa.
"Come and sit down. This is your first time climbing a mountain today, so your legs and feet must be very tired. Soak your feet in warm water before going to sleep, or your legs will be sore and painful when you wake up."
Su Meng followed Ou Zilong's instructions and sat down on the sofa.
