The Miao Boy Who Journeyed Through the Pages and Became Everyone's Beloved

Chapter 59: From a friend to a boyfriend

Chapter 59

At this time, although it was afternoon, the sun was not scorching.

Looking up from the front foot, the dense forest covered the towering Jiumiao Mountain, making the entire Jiumiao Mountain appear a deep dark blue.

Xie Jinling and his group, plus a gray wolf named Da Goudan, set out from the entrance at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the winding and rugged mountain road.

Da Goudan often came here to play and was very familiar with the entire mountain. He walked majestically in the front, occasionally using his front feet to scratch the weeds that tickled him, and occasionally jumping up to catch butterflies.

Xie Jinling was also familiar with Jiumiao Mountain. If he walked at a normal speed, the time to reach the top of the mountain could be saved by at least 40 minutes compared to the original plan. However, considering that Lu Huaiyu and the two twins rarely walked on this kind of mountain road with strange rocks, Xie Jinling slowed down.

Finally, it took nearly three hours for Xie Jinling to lead Lu Huaiyu and the others to the top of the mountain.

Wang Siyuan was so tired that he sat on the ground. He looked around and saw the rolling mountains. He couldn't help but sighed: "To be honest, these views are really beautiful."

"It's really majestic." Wang Xingze nodded in agreement and took several photos with his camera.

"Lingling, drink some water." Lin Ye didn't care much about the beauty of these mountains and rivers. He took out a thermos cup filled with water from his backpack, opened the lid of the cup, and handed it to Xie Jinling.

Xie Jinling didn't take it, but asked: "Don't you want to drink?"

Lin Ye said as a matter of course: "I'll wait for you to drink before I drink."

Xie Jinling heard this and didn't say anything more. He took the cup from Lin Ye's hand and raised his head to drink.

After drinking about three sips, Xie Jinling stopped, gently wiped the corners of his lips, and handed the cup to Lin Ye: "Here."

Lin Ye took the cup and naturally aimed at the place where Xie Jinling had just drunk, and began to drink the warm water in it.

Xie Jinling raised her eyebrows when she saw this, but she didn't say anything.

After Lin Ye finished drinking, he met Xie Jinling's gaze, curled his lips, and said, "Why does this water feel sweeter than usual?"

Xie Jinling wanted to laugh: "Psychological effect?"

Lin Ye shook his head and denied: "No." He screwed the lid back on: "It's the Lingling effect."

As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, Lu Huaiyu, who had been silent, suddenly asked Xie Jinling: "Do the nine temple towers on the top of Jiumiao Mountain have any special meaning?"

Xie Jinling looked at the nine temple towers not far away: "These nine temple towers have been built for nearly two hundred years, and each temple tower corresponds to a kind of blessing meaning. For example, money, health, harvest, family harmony, and giving birth to children."

Xie Jinling roughly gave a few examples, but did not finish explaining the meaning of the nine towers.

Lin Ye pointed to the tallest temple tower in the middle: "What does this temple tower bless?" This temple tower has thirteen floors, which is nearly six floors higher than the other eight towers.

Although this kind of temple tower is not very tall or looks good nowadays, it was considered a very delicate and magnificent craft building a hundred years ago.
