“So you have had checkups at other facilities, as well?” Director Zhao’s voice was heard.

“That’s right. We went to several places. They all said that we won’t be able to conceive a child. But who knew that after visiting One Finger Temple and praying to Guan Yin Bodhisattva, we would actually hit the jackpot. It’s like a dream.” Du Mei could not stop running her mouth as she spoke in between laughs.

Yang Hua was also laughing foolishly along with her…

Director Zhao said, “Alright. This is a good thing. Congratulations. I still have something to tend to, so I’ll be leaving for now. Make sure to get sufficient rest and do not overexert yourself.” After saying that, the director’s head was filled with questions. What was going on? As for the matter of eating the machine, he smartly refused to bring it up and thought to escape quickly.

Yang Hua and Du Mei acknowledged it before excitedly leaving the hospital.

Jiang Ting watched the two leave as she mumbled to herself, “One Finger Temple? Praying to the Bodhisattva to bear children? Is that even possible? Come to think of it, I’ve never heard of this temple before… If it is truly efficacious…”

Jiang Ting’s eyes lit up. She checked the time and found that her night shift was over, so she hurriedly packed up to go home. As soon as she was home, she switched on her computer and searched for One Finger Temple but found nothing. She called the head nurse, asked for Yang Hua’s address, and managed to find One Finger Village. It was very obvious in the maps that Mt. One Finger was behind One Finger Village. Furthermore, according to Mt. One Finger’s introduction, there was a tiny temple on the mountain but there was no mention of its name.

However, Jiang Ting connected the dots and was quite certain that it was One Finger Temple.

Jiang Ting was always a curious person. She wrote about the day’s events on her Weibo social media page, explaining how the couple was at first unable to conceive but then managed to successfully make children after praying at One Finger Temple.

After she posted on Weibo, she went to bed without much thought.

But although she did not think too much of it, the people who saw her post were riled up.

A discussion lit up in the comments section of her post.

“Jiang Ting are you mad? You are a nurse but you believe in this?”

“Lass, is a screw loose in your head?”

“You can’t believe in the divine.”

“Enough guys. Didn’t Jiang Ting say that they both had conditions that made them physically unable to have children? Yet they managed to conceive after praying to Bodhisattva. How do you explain that?”

“Perhaps their bodies self-regulated and turned for the better. And they just happened to pray to Bodhisattva around the same time. It has to be a coincidence!”

“Wouldn’t we know if it’s a coincidence by simply going to this temple ourselves?”

“That’s right. It’s not that far. Let’s check our schedules and see if we can go one day?”

“I think that would work…”

Soon, three people who were rather free got together and planned a visit to Mt. One Finger. However, even though they called it an investigation, they were just making an excuse to have some fun outdoors. In a few more weeks it would snow, preventing them from going mountain climbing.
