Chapter 4
Most of the people who come to Foshan to pray are people wearing gold and silver, but there are still a few ordinary people.

Although purple eyes are rare in Xia Nanguo, they are not without them, so Qin Xiaoxi did not attract many people's attention. She was wearing an ordinary skirt, which was still half-worn, so no one would think that she was the prime minister's mansion. The most favored third lady.

Qin Xiaoxi was able to jump up and down at first, but after she had jumped hundreds of stairs, she couldn't.

She is just a 15-year-old girl, and she was raised in a deep boudoir, and she herself has to portray an image of a good girl. She has very few opportunities to exercise, so it is still unknown whether she can climb Foshan to see the Buddhist hall.

It's just... She looked back at the sparse people passing by, and a mocking smile curled up on the corner of her mouth.However, no matter how tired she is, she can't expect her mother to give her a hug, so she can only rely on herself.

Raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, Qin Xiaoxi continued to move forward step by step.

She must walk through the ten thousand steps!The little hand clenched her fist subconsciously, Qin Xiaoxi raised her eyes to look at the continuous stairs, her eyes shone with confidence.

She doesn't believe in Buddhism, but she wants to pray, for one person!

The wind is bright and the air is clear, which is indeed quite suitable for mountain climbing. However, at noon, the wind and clear air have passed, and now the sun is shining brightly.

Qin Xiaoxi raised her eyes and glanced at the still continuous stairs, then twitched the corners of her mouth.How could she have forgotten that this is early summer, and everything that is bright and clear is an illusion! !

However, I still have to continue... Sweat dripped from my forehead onto the steps, and I held the wet handkerchief to wipe the sweat from my head.After stopping at the same spot for a while, she deeply realized that if she didn't concentrate, she might just pass out like this.

The sun was shining brightly, and the pedestrians on the road were almost all in groups, holding oil-paper umbrellas and chatting while climbing the mountain, while she looked away alone, and Qin Xiaoxi stared at the stairs ahead without squinting.

One step, two steps, ten steps, twenty steps, one hundred steps, two hundred steps...

Just about to take three hundred steps, Qin Xiaoxi suddenly saw an old man with a long beard sitting on a certain step ahead, panting heavily.The old man was in rags, and his exposed right hand was covered with a thick white cloth. He leaned against the steps and gasped for breath, looking extremely weak.

When pedestrians pass by, they just give the old man a cold look and continue to chat and laugh with friends or colleagues.

The people who came to pray for blessings were all good-hearted, but they were unwilling to stop to see what the old man needed.If there is really a Buddha in this world, would the Buddha protect such a selfish person?

Qin Xiaoxi blinked her purple eyes, and walked quickly to the old man, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

Hearing this, the old man raised his head with difficulty.When he saw the child standing in front of him looking at him with concern, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Girl...help me..." After finishing speaking, she pressed her hands on her chest and panted heavily.

Qin Xiaoxi thought for a while, then unwrapped the package and took out the candy Yugu gave her.The candy has melted and the candy wrapper is sticky.

She carefully peeled off the candy paper, and brought the almost melted candy to the old man's mouth, "Grandpa, eat it and you will be fine." She has no experience, but she can probably guess that after eating the candy, you should will be better.

It's just a pity...Qin Xiaoxi squinted her eyes, the only food was gone. Without candy, she didn't know if she could last till the end.

The old man didn't dislike the candy that no longer had a candy shape. He put the candy in his mouth and grinned, "Girl, thank you."

"Well, it's good that grandpa is fine." Qin Xiaoxi smiled sweetly with the corners of her mouth curled up.

Suddenly, the world went dark for a moment.Qin Xiaoxi lowered her head and swayed her small body.

"Grandpa, if you're okay, I'll go first." Shaking her head, she forced herself to concentrate.

The old man looked at her worriedly, "Girl, are you alone?"

"Well, yes..." She has always been alone.

She raised her short legs, but before she could take a step, her world was turned upside down, and then there was darkness.

Startled, the old man stretched out his hand to catch her, but he only caught air for a while.

He raised his head annoyed, only to see a man in a white robe holding the little girl in his arms.The man was wearing a mask, standing under the sun, but his surroundings were icy.

The old man flinched, and retracted his hand with a smile. "Why is he here?" The old man muttered, not daring to ask out loud.

The man didn't seem to hear the old man's words.The face of the person in her arms was flushed, her clothes were soaked with sweat, her thin lips opened and closed, as if she was repeating something.

The man lowered his head and stared at the girl for three seconds. His face was covered by the mask, and no one could see his expression, only his black eyes flashed a little surprised.The ink hair was flying, the old man just blinked his eyes, and saw the man walking up the mountain step by step with the little girl in his arms.

"Boy!" The old man stood up suddenly, and shouted in a full-fledged manner, without any weakness.

".Why?" Although he answered, the man did not stop.

The old man swallowed what he wanted to say at once, and only choked out a sentence, "Remember to send him home."

The man didn't respond, and walked up the stairs calmly step by step.

Hmm... step by step, he will do light work, and it's only a blink of an eye to go up to the top of the mountain, but she said——pray... Even if she can't hold on, she still wants to pray.

And if you want to pray for blessings, the most basic sincerity is to step on the ten thousand steps to the Buddhist hall.

However, if she goes to the Buddhist hall, according to her current situation, she will not be able to pray for blessings.And such a Buddhist temple.
"Brother, we will always be together, right?"

"Well, baby and brother will always be together. So don't be afraid of baby, brother will never leave baby."

Brother...will always be with the baby...Bi Luo Huang Quan, I also want to have you by my side...

The promise is so beautiful that people can't tell whether it is a dream or reality.

Chanting a low Sanskrit tone, Qin Xiaoxi frowned, and slowly opened her eyes.

Blinking his eyes uncomfortably, what he saw was a pale yellow.

There are obscure scriptures engraved on the wall, and there is only a teapot and a small teacup with a hole on the table.

The faint Sanskrit sound made her heave a sigh of relief, she seemed to have arrived at the Buddhist hall, but which kind-hearted person sent her here?In short, no matter who it is, it will not be a mother.

Quietly folding the thin quilt on the bed, Qin Xiaoxi walked out of the very small room.It's just that when you leave the house, it's the yard.

The corners of her mouth twitched, why did the Buddhist hall have a courtyard...it probably didn't exist in her memory.This is really a Buddhist temple...

The courtyard was also very dilapidated, if it wasn't for the scent of Buddha in the air, she would really think that she was not in the Buddhist hall at the moment.

Here... it's good... at least there is no noise from outsiders... The Buddhist hall in Foshan is about to become a blind date meeting for powerful families. How many people who go there really believe in Buddha?
