Chapter 260: Taishan
Although she felt that they were most likely telling the truth, Xia Zhizhi still asked doubtfully, "How can you guarantee that you are telling the truth?"
The one who was joking said with a bitter face: "Hey, when we first saw you, you all turned around and tried to run. You didn't look like robbers at all. Besides, look at the big brother you brought with you. He's tall and strong. Look at his muscular body. Who would be so stupid as to rob him?"
The robbers are not stupid. They are willing to take advantage of the situation if they want money. There is no need to risk their lives.
"Okay then." Xia Zhizhi waved her hands with regret: "Let you go, go back quickly, you should learn your lesson and stop making jokes in the future. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as me. If you really meet a tough guy, you will suffer."
Several people were complaining in their hearts. Who could be tougher than her? She was easy to talk to, but she would start fighting if they disagreed. She would not listen to other people's explanations until she had fought enough.
A few people were too lazy to argue with her, so after listening to her, they picked up the cabbages and ran away.
Seeing several people running away at an unscientific speed, Xia Zhizhi confirmed that the reason why she had never encountered any romantic things like being a hero saving a beautiful girl or meeting a damsel in distress was definitely because of Ah Ju.
She glanced at Ah Ju. With his height, if he were in a few decades, when the kids were well-nourished and growing up, he wouldn't stand out.
It is indeed rare at this time, and coupled with his muscular body, it is no wonder that all her romantic interests have been scared away.
"Aju, dress up as a cute little girl and let's go fishing!"
Ah Ju obediently pinched a round face and round eyes, and the image of a cute little girl came out.
He looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a silly look. At first glance, he is a naive person, the type that is easy to be deceived.
Xia Zhizhi was very satisfied: "Let's call her Xia Juju!"
Two people entered the space and used fake evidence.
Ever since Ah Ju changed her skin color from Xia Zhi to Xia Ju, it is obvious that more people are trying to talk to her.
Xia Zhizhi's vanity was greatly satisfied, she was very proud and her mood became much better.
But some people are not human. After Xia Zhizhi rejected them, they still tried to flirt with Ah Ju...
He was just a kid of thirteen or fourteen years old!
Xia Zhizhi could only put on a cold face and play the role of a snobbish sister, scolding them all away.
Xia Zhizhi brought Ah Ju through the city and arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.
The temple is now closed, and apart from a few nearby villagers who go up the mountain to collect firewood, almost no one goes up the mountain.
It was already late afternoon when the two of them arrived at the temple at the foot of the mountain, but the sun was not shining.
When the two of them arrived at Daizongfang, an old man who was cutting wood came down the mountain. He thought they were educated youth from a certain brigade and said kindly, "Girl, it's getting dark. Don't go up there to play. There's no one on the mountain now. It's very cold in the mountains at night. You'll suffer if you go up there."
Xia Zhizhi said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, Master. I'll be down in a moment."
The eldest master was not so reassured, and repeatedly told me: "Don't be naughty, you must come down, otherwise when your group comes to look for you, you will ask me to lead the way again."
"I know, I know."
The two of them went into battle lightly, and Xia Zhizhi's legs and feet were nimble. In fact, there was no difference from later generations. All the ancient buildings in later generations were there at this time, but the stele forest and some buildings were removed in later generations.
Many buildings have not been carefully maintained at this time, and many places are mottled and peeling, giving them a sense of antiquity.
Xia Zhizhi was the only tourist there, and the mountain was quite quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds and insects.
She climbed all the way to the Wudafu Pine. The doors of the temple were closed and there was no one inside. She sat on the stone bench under the tree to rest.
This short journey was not too tiring for her.
But she was hungry.
I took out a lot of things from the space, filled a table with them and started showing off.
After eating for a while, they saw a group of foxes coming from behind a pile of rocks in the distance, looking at Xia Zhizhi curiously.
The eggs in this nest are all yellow-brown in color, and each one is very small. You can tell at a glance that they are food.
In the past, when the incense was popular, people fed the small animals on Mount Tai, and people could often steal some offerings to taste. If they didn't have to work every day, they would have food to eat, and everyone would eat until they were full.
Due to special circumstances during this period, people are not allowed to burn incense or worship Buddha, and basically no one comes to the mountains, so the small animals are forced to fend for themselves.
Life is definitely not as good as when someone was feeding me before.
Young kids will definitely remember the salty cooked food.
It's so rare that we meet someone who brings food up here, so we should give it a try, right?
I saw that Xia Zhizhi saw me.
The bigger fox came out from behind the rock and tentatively walked to the rock in front of her, still quite cautiously, as if it was about to run away if they disagreed.
Xia Zhizhi was generous and directly gave Daji a roast chicken, and threw it in front of it with a plop.
The fox was startled and quickly ran to hide behind a rock. Seeing that she did not take any other action, she picked up the chicken and dragged it behind the pile of rocks where the little fox was hiding.
One chicken is clearly not enough.
After eating, the foxes became bolder and came over with their families. They all looked at her under the pine tree. The smaller foxes soon lost their patience and started to play and fight. Before they knew it, they rolled down the stone platform.
The big fox picked up the little fox that had fallen under the stone platform, and at the same time, it wagged its tail wildly at Xia Zhizhi and howled.
All canines are like this; they like to wag their tails when they see someone they think is a good person.
Seeing this, the little fox followed suit and started howling.
The meaning is obvious.
Big brother, please add a few more and get ten to go live.
Although she knew that these foxes only came for food, they would pat their butts and leave after eating and would never let her touch them.
Xia Zhizhi still generously ordered a few roast chickens.
The other guy was wagging his tail at her and acting cute, so what was wrong with brushing a few chickens?
She was full and didn't care about the foxes that were still eating. She and Ah Ju continued to climb up.
When we climbed to Nantianmen, the sun was setting in the west, and it was the perfect time to watch the sunset.
The sunset would be somewhat blocked from the main gate of Nantianmen, so Xia Zhizhi walked more than 200 meters in the west direction and arrived at Yueguan Peak.
I found a suitable place, spread a thick mat on the ground, and sat down.
Looking ahead, the place where heaven and earth meet is the Yellow River.
The sun slowly sets, and its afterglow shines on the rugged river surface, refracting warm light, like a fairy's golden skirt being blown by the wind, creating ripples in the hazy mist.
As the sun moved further west, clouds gradually gathered and the sky became deep and unfathomable.
I was very lucky today. I actually saw a golden streamer shining in the sky. It was a mirage caused by the reflection of river water in the sky.
She glanced at Ah Ju, who took out his camera to record this moment for her.
The few remaining rays of sunlight fell on Xia Zhizhi's face, casting a warm and peaceful shadow on the two long shadows behind her.
