The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the top of the mountain, Meng Qing opened her eyes.
She saw her parents packing up their things and slowly left the tent.
"Child, a new day has begun." Meng Hai said.
Meng Qing stood up, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and then smiled at the morning sun for the first time in a long time.
Although this trip did not completely erase the pain in Mengqing's heart, it injected a new strength into her soul, giving her the courage to face life again and believe that the future will be better.
"Dad, what are we going to do next?" Meng Qing asked, stretching.
"Let's go walk around and relax." Meng Hai said while packing his luggage.
"I remember there is a temple at the foot of the mountain. Let's go take a look," Wang Wanqing suggested.
Mengqing and Menghai nodded, then packed up and went to the temple together.
The temple is located between green mountains and clear waters, surrounded by towering ancient trees, and is quiet and peaceful. As you step into the temple gate, a faint scent of sandalwood fills the air.
The gate of the temple is tall and solemn, with a vermilion door frame inlaid with golden door nails, which sparkle in the sunlight.
A black plaque is hung above the gate, on which the name of Kaiyuan Temple is written in vigorous golden characters, giving people a sense of solemnity.
Entering the temple gate, a bluestone corridor leads straight to the main hall. The corridor is lined with pine and cypress trees, which are tall and green, like loyal guards guarding this sacred land.
The three of them walked slowly along the bluestone path. Meng Qing looked around curiously, her eyes full of curiosity about this mysterious temple.
The Main Hall is magnificent, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings.
The glazed tiles on the roof are colorful and sparkle brightly under the sunlight.
Incense smoke curled up in the hall, and a huge golden Buddha statue sat solemnly on a lotus throne. The Buddha's eyes were slightly closed, his face was kind, and his whole body exuded a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
"Is this temple so luxurious?" Meng Qing couldn't help but ask.
"It's normal. Every year, people who come here are either rich or noble. Some of them believe in Buddhism, so they do a lot of charity." Meng Hai explained.
Meng Qing nodded, and then continued to look at the walls of the hall.
The walls are covered with exquisite murals, telling classic Buddhist stories and legends. These murals are colorful, with smooth lines and lifelike figures, making people feel as if they are in a Buddhist wonderland.
There are several small gardens in the temple courtyard, with golden chrysanthemums competing for beauty.
There is an ancient stone well in the corner of the courtyard, the water is clear and the edge of the well is covered with traces of time, as if telling the long history of this temple.
Other Buddha and Bodhisattva statues are enshrined in the side halls of the temple, each of which is exquisitely shaped and finely crafted.
Surrounding the side hall are the meditation rooms where the monks live. The doors and windows of the meditation rooms are simple and elegant, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.
There is a pagoda on the back mountain of the temple. The body of the pagoda is as white as jade and towers into the clouds.
Then the three of them came to the big Buddha and felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when looking at it.

Maple Leaf Group.
Lin Feng was sitting in a spacious and bright office chair, concentrating on the documents in his hands.
Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence. I reached out and picked up the black telephone on the desk and gently put the receiver to my ear.
"Hello? What's wrong?" There was a hint of confusion in Lin Feng's voice.
I don't know what the other party said, but I saw Lin Feng's brows gradually frowned, forming two deep ravines. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know, let them go to the lounge and wait, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, Lin Feng quickly put down the phone and stood up. His movements seemed a bit hasty, and even the chair was moved back a distance.
As soon as he opened the office door, he saw Wen Wanning coming out from the other side. She looked at Lin Feng quietly. Although her heart was full of questions, she did not ask immediately.
Lin Feng walked hurriedly towards the door, while Wen Wanning followed him silently. The two of them left one after the other, and no one spoke.
After entering the elevator, it was so quiet that the only sound I could hear was the sound of the cable being pulled.
Finally, Wen Wanning couldn't help but break the silence. She asked softly, "What's going on?"
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Remember the heavy rain that day?"
Wen Wanning was slightly startled and nodded to indicate that she remembered.
Lin Feng continued, "One of the boys is called Zhao Xu, he is Zhao Li's son."
After saying this, he fell into silence again. Wen Wanning only thought for a moment and instantly guessed what had happened.
Silence returned between the two of them, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
With a "ding" sound from the elevator, the door slowly opened, and they walked out of the elevator together and headed towards the lounge.
As soon as I stepped into the room, a solemn atmosphere hit me. I saw three police officers in uniform standing there straight, with serious expressions.
At the same time, there were two people sitting in the room. One was Zhao Li, who was sitting upright in a chair with a gloomy face and a frown on his face. The other was Zhao Xu, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a haggard face and dull eyes.
Although the two had been mentally prepared beforehand, they couldn't help but gasp when their eyes fell on Zhao Xu sitting in a wheelchair.
Just then, Lin Feng was seen walking in slowly.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged police officer in charge immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin! We have received reports from the public that your company's general manager, Mr. Shen Yunche, is suspected of kidnapping and intentional injury. Therefore, in accordance with relevant legal procedures, we need to take Mr. Shen Yunche back to the police station for further investigation." After saying that, he pointed to the two police officers behind him.
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.
He turned to look at Wen Wanning beside him, motioning for them to go forward together to check the so-called evidence materials on the table.
Then, a slight but clear sound of a door opening echoed throughout the room. Everyone turned around and saw the tightly closed door being slowly pushed open, and a figure appeared at the door.
This person is Shen Yunche.
"Sure, I'll go with you." Shen Yunche said, as if this was not a big deal.
At this moment, Shen Yunche tilted his head slightly, and his eyes fell accurately on Zhao Li.
The corners of his mouth raised a teasing smile, as if he was full of disdain and mockery towards the person in front of him: "See you again?"
Facing Shen Yunche's provocation, Zhao Li's face instantly became extremely gloomy, his eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he stared at the other party intently.
However, Shen Yunche didn't care about Zhao Li's fierce eyes at all, and still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.
Lin Feng hurriedly walked to Shen Yunche's side and said in a low voice: "I will find a way."
Shen Yunche patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, shook his head nonchalantly, and consoled him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." After saying that, he winked at Lin Feng, appearing extremely relaxed.
Just then, the police came forward and signaled Shen Yunche to leave with them.
Shen Yunche followed the police out of the lounge. The employees outside were all stunned by this scene, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.
Lin Feng looked at Shen Yunche's departing back and frowned tightly.
He always had a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart, thinking that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed...
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked downstairs, he saw a large group of reporters rushing in like a tide, blocking the door. These reporters were all excited, and their microphones and cameras were pointed at Shen Yunche.
"Mr. Shen, is the rumor true?" A female reporter asked first, her voice sharp and urgent.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think about this matter?" another male reporter shouted.
"Mr. Shen, I heard that you kidnapped Zhao Xu. Is this true?" someone else asked loudly.
"Mr. Shen..." All kinds of questions came to Shen Yunche like a string of cannonballs, leaving him overwhelmed.
However, facing such a chaotic scene, Shen Yunche appeared unusually calm and composed.
