She had thin arms and legs, and not much flesh on her body. With all his luggage, it was enough to crush her.
He was unwilling, and Liu Jing did not force him, but continued to walk upwards at a steady pace, and soon surpassed the man and reached the steps in front.
And now the man truly believed that it was not that Liu Jing was walking fast, but that he was walking too slowly.
He walked up with difficulty and almost fell. He really wanted to climb to the top of the mountain in one breath, but he couldn't walk anymore. Coincidentally, he saw Liu Jing sitting under a tree to rest in front of him.
Liu Jing was eating an apple.
The man couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He only brought some dry food and other things. He didn't bring any fruits because they were too heavy. Just carrying these things would cost him half his life, not to mention the fruits that were as heavy as stones.
In fact, fruit is fruit, not like stone.
But try carrying some fruit up the mountain and weigh it to see if it is fruit or stone. It will definitely be stone.
The man put the bag off his shoulder and smiled at Liu Xian. He twisted his shoulders, which were sore and painful. He was just asking for trouble.
"for you."
Liu Liang took out another apple as if by magic and placed it in front of the man.
No, I'll just eat the cookies. How can a man have the nerve to eat an apple that a little girl carried on her back.
"Then I'll trade the apple for your biscuits."
Liu Liang still didn't put down the apple. She hadn't eaten biscuits for a long time and had even forgotten the taste of biscuits. There were many good things in her ring, but no biscuits.
How could she forget that there are good things like biscuits in this world? Next time, she should bring more for the master. These are much more filling than fish skin and peanuts.
"Oh well."
The man took out a bag of biscuits from his bag, but it was not enough, so he took out another bag and exchanged the two bags for an apple from Liu Liang.
Liu Liang opened the biscuits and started eating. Well, they were crispy and delicious, but a little dry. It is definitely not a must-have on the mountain.
The man put the apple under his nose. The fragrance of the apple made him swallow several times. What should he do? He was a little afraid to eat it.
But in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation anymore, and with a snap, he took a bite.
Immediately, the sweet juice entered his mouth, and it seemed as if all the fatigue in his body was swept away.
Alas, it was not easy to eat an apple in the mountains. He climbed so many mountains, but he only ate this one apple.
While eating the apple, the man started chatting with Liu Liang.
The man said his surname was Gao, and his name was Gao Ming.
It’s a two-character name, easy to remember, right?
He said he was a mountaineering enthusiast with eight years of mountaineering experience, and his biggest dream was to climb Mount Everest.
Liu Jing blinked her eyes and suddenly felt it was quite fun. She decided to try climbing it.
Everyone has to go crazy once in this life. If not when you are young, when will you go crazy? When you are old and gray, or when you are reincarnated in the next life?
She is not even sure whether she can be reincarnated as a human in her next life?
Besides, she doesn’t know who she will be in her next life.
It's time to leave. I've had enough rest.
Gao Ming stood up and was about to take his bag, but a hand was one step faster than him.
He just stared at Liu Jing in amazement as she picked up his bag with one hand.
He knew how heavy his bag was, it must be around 50 or 60 kilograms, and he had to use both hands to lift it. But how did Liu Jing do it, lifting it with just one hand?
"I'll hold it for you."
Liu Liang carried the bag on her shoulder and walked up. Her speed was not very fast, but strangely, she felt as light as a swallow. Even the big bag on her shoulder seemed to be filled with air and had no weight at all.
“What a great strength!”
Gao Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva again. Then he remembered that when Liu Liang wanted to help him with the bag, she was really not joking.
He quickly caught up with Liu Liang again. With dozens of kilograms of luggage less, Gao Ming felt much better. His shoulders were no longer weighed down and felt lighter, so of course, they didn't hurt anymore. Judging from his years of mountain climbing experience, if the pressure on his shoulders continued, it would be difficult for him to even go down the mountain.
Liu Liang still maintained the same speed and did not even stop. The big bag on her body did not cause any burden to her at all.
Another half hour later, she reached the top of the mountain.
Gao Ming was panting, holding a wooden stick in one hand and climbing up almost using both his hands and feet.
There really is a temple on the mountain. I don’t know how the ancients did it, but they were able to build such a masterpiece of supernatural craftsmanship on such a high mountain top, leaning against the mountain and supported by stones.
Liu Liang and Gao Ming walked in together.
If Gao Ming guessed correctly today, he and Liu Liang should be the first group of people to go up the mountain.
Liu Liang walked up to the Bodhisattva and knelt down with great respect. She was actually an atheist before, but after she was reborn, she realized that there are many magical things in this world that cannot be explained by science.
Of course, it’s good enough for her to know it herself, and she won’t tell anyone else.
This is her secret, hers alone.
She donated one thousand yuan to the temple. The master held a stack of hundred-yuan bills and seemed to be asking Liu Liang if she really wanted to give so much.
Liu Jing nodded, then placed the bag of apples in front of the master. She had just discovered that the offerings in the temple were a little wilted, which showed that they still had to rely on manpower to carry things up, which was indeed not easy. Even the offerings had been left for too long.
"Thank you very much."
The master put his hands together and bowed to Liu Liang, then went downstairs with the apples. When Liu Liang came back, he saw that the offerings in front of the Buddha statue had been replaced with new apples, which were juicy, fresh and beautiful.
There is a row of small houses outside the temple, which are prepared for people going up the mountain. At that time, everything on the mountain was still very simple, unlike later days, when there were small inns and the like, which were all opened halfway up the mountain.
Liu Liang opened a door and was surprised to find that she could live in a single room.
The master in the temple said that they came up early, so they could choose these small houses. If there were more people, they would have to share one.
As for whether I will share a room with others, the chef can’t say for sure now. We have to wait and see if anyone else comes up in the afternoon.
