Chapter 219: The mountain road is bent

There is a temple on Tiger Mountain in Mingyang called Qingyun Temple. Although it is not large in scale, it is extremely incenseful.

Qingyun Temple is about 500 meters away from the first mountain gate. It is managed by monks all year round, and there are many believers. Now, it is Qingming Festival, and there are many people coming to burn incense and pray.

The Martyrs' Garden walked not far from the east of Qingyun Temple. Chen Mingluo and the others walked for about half an hour and finally arrived at their destination.

Because it had just rained, the soil on the ground exuded a fragrant feeling, and the little yellow flowers after the rain were also rushing to bloom. As they walked along the way, they could still see mountain Chinese medicinal materials such as licorice and Chaihu.

Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei walked in front, excitedly picking a small flower, or asking Chen Mingluo what those medicinal herbs are used for.

Chen Mingluo looked up and saw that there was a lot of mist in the mountains and he could not see his true face, but he could vaguely hear the sound of the mountain temple bell coming from Qingyun Temple.

After entering the Martyrs Cemetery, I found that it was really lively here.

Not only were the teachers and students from all schools coming, but there were also many people from the municipal government. After looking at it for a while, Chen Mingluo found that there were several deputy mayors and others coming out of the city, talking on the road.

Chen Mingluo felt that there was no need to join in the fun at this time, so he pulled Xiao Xiao and the others to the side to see the scenery. However, because it had just rained in the mountains, looking into the distance was a white scene, and there was no sign of it.

The sky is still a little hazy, and it is probably going to rain.

"I will take the college entrance examination in more than two months. How is my current condition?" Xiao Xiao put his backpack on the ground, then sat on it, and asked Liu Qingmei who was looking into the distance.

Liu Qingmei was trying to find the sun hidden in the clouds, but there seemed to be no trace. He replied, "It feels no different, but the recent tests have been too frequent. I am very worried that when I take the exam, I will feel sick of the exam."

In fact, this is also a general psychological barrier for students. There are too many tests in daily life. Although it helps take the exam, when the exam is real, this passion for taking the exam seems to have been exhausted, which is not conducive to the performance of the exam before the exam.

"Then you can try to take time to relax and adjust yourself-" Xiao Xiao suggested.

Everyone is more at ease with Liu Qingmei's grades. Although she has not yet entered the top part of the students, she has a lot of momentum and flexible thinking, and does not need to spend so much time memorizing, so Xiao Xiao suggested that she relax.

Liu Qingmei nodded and looked at Chen Mingluo quietly, but saw Chen Mingluo frowning and looking at the other side. He did not notice the conversation between him and Xiao Xiao, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

In recent years, although there have been fewer opportunities to contact Chen Mingluo, occasionally the three of them will still have a meal at each other's house and have a small gathering.

Although Liu Zhongyuan and Qin Xue didn't say anything, they were really willing to accept this situation. After all, the better the relationship between her daughter and Xiao Xiao and Chen Mingluo, it was equivalent to providing reliable guarantees for Liu Zhongyuan's location.

Now Liu Zhongyuan has also found out clearly. The main reason why he was able to promote himself as deputy director of the Linling District Water Conservancy Bureau of Mingyang City was Chen Mingluo.

But the most important thing is not this, but Chen Mingluo’s proposal. Xiao Mingxue agreed so much. This is the key point!

What does it mean for a high school student who can influence the mayor's decision?

Liu Qingmei also felt a little confused in her heart for a while. Although it did not make her mind confused, it also affected her learning status to a greater or lesser extent. If it weren't for the increased energy and clearer thoughts recently, it would probably not be easy to deal with various learning tasks that followed.

Of course, the core issue among these entanglements is Chen Mingluo.

Since the last time he had close contact with Chen Mingluo, Liu Qingmei felt that his heart was a little confused. She was worried that this ambiguous relationship would affect her relationship with Xiao Xiao, and she felt that it was difficult for Chen Mingluo to give up.

Sometimes, she also felt that she had a secret relationship with Chen Mingluo that surpassed her friends, which was indeed a bit unfair to Xiao Xiao, but she was very addicted to Chen Mingluo and thought about his words and smiles every day, making her heart feel like she was thrown into a pool of stones at the same time, and she could no longer calm down.

Chen Mingluo turned his head to look at the Martyrs Cemetery, and found that the leaders had left at this time. The school began to organize students to sweep the graves. Next was the turn of free activities. According to the plan, everyone would rest here for a while, eat something and drink some water, and then continue to set off to go to Qingyun Temple for some activity.

Tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival is actually more like outings. The season is suitable for this. The mountains after the rain are even more fresh and refreshing. It is undoubtedly the best choice for students who are exhausted from the tactic of restoring the topic.

However, something different happened.

A boy with glasses from Class 1, Grade 2, suddenly ran over and plucked up the courage to say to Xiao Xiao, "Student Xiao, I have something for you to see."

The three of them were stunned, especially Liu Qingmei, who pursed her lips and smiled, but her eyes were wandering around Chen Mingluo, obviously saying how to deal with it.

Chen Mingluo scratched his head, feeling that such a thing was naturally inevitable. It depends on Xiao Xiao’s handling!

Xiao Xiao was very calm and took the letter paper handed over by the boy with glasses with a smile. After browsing it briefly, he smiled and returned the letter paper as it was, and then said, "Classmate, I will only consider this after I graduated from college. So, I can't give you any answers now."

The guy with glasses was a little disappointed after hearing this, but fortunately Xiao Xiao didn't say anything that made him lose face, so he nodded, "I'll wait until that day."

After he left, Liu Qingmei laughed out loud, "Xiao Xiao, is he your admirer?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Chen Mingluo with a smile, and then said, "Some people should not be too proud, I have many admirers."

Chen Mingluo curled his lips and thought to himself, what's the attraction of these little kids? It would be strange if Xiao Xiao could be attracted to them.

It is only the genius figures like himself that make it difficult for outstanding girls like Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei to give up. He really doesn't need to worry about these people, because everyone is not competitors at the same level at all.

But thinking that there are many people here, maybe Liu Qingmei's suitor will appear later. He wondered if the three of them could act alone and get rid of the large army?

"How can we take the lead?" Chen Mingluo suggested to the two girls.

"Will the teacher agree that that way?" Although Xiao Xiao wanted to set out one step ahead, she was worried that Sister Hua would not agree.

"Just leave her a note." Chen Mingluo did it as soon as he said, and wrote a note directly, and then asked the classmate next to her to bring it to Sister Hua.

In fact, there are only these two roads on the mountain. Everyone’s destinations are the same, but it’s just a matter of time.

Chen Mingluo brought Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei all the way to Qingyun Temple.

Because most of the students are on the Martyrs' Cemetery, there are not many people on the mountain road. The three of them are talking and laughing all the way, and they are in a very good mood. There is no need to worry about someone next to them suddenly jumping out to get in the way.

When they passed by a bamboo forest, they saw a mountain man carrying a bamboo basket and waving his hoe in the bamboo forest in long rain boots, probably digging bamboo shoots or something.

When Xiao Xiao saw this scene, he suddenly had a whim and said, "Fresh bamboo shoots after the rain, I suddenly want to eat them."

"That's not a difficult thing-" Chen Mingluo replied, "When we go down the mountain, we always have to pass by here. Then we can buy some from others."

"I'm afraid that when we go down the mountain, they'll have finished the work and go home." Xiao Xiao said.

Chen Mingluo thought about it for a moment, but this was the reason, so he shouted twice at the man working in the bamboo forest.

Seeing this, the mountain man put down his hoe and walked out, "Did you call me? What's wrong?"

"We want to buy some bamboo shoots, but we have to go up the mountain now. I wonder if you will be here later?" Chen Mingluo explained his purpose.

"Oh, the construction is almost completed today." The mountain citizen replied, "But you can buy it first. I'll bury it in the weeds beside the bamboo forest. Just take it away when you pass by."

This was a good idea. Chen Mingluo paid fifty yuan at the moment. The mountain man was a little happy when he saw it. He immediately found a plastic bag, peeled the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket, cleaned it up, and put it in, but it seemed that the quantity was really large, and the three families had enough food to share.

Chen Mingluo was worried that the man would take away the bamboo shoots again, so he would have nothing to do with the money, so he became more cautious and walked dozens of meters with the bamboo shoots himself. Then he found a place that was easier to remember, hid the plastic bag, grabbed two handfuls of artemisia outside and covered it, then looked at the terrain, and wrote it down.

"Are you still worried that someone would take away your bamboo shoots? In fact, the people in the mountain are very simple and will never do such a thing-" Liu Qingmei said to Chen Mingluo after looking at it.

Chen Mingluo shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about the people in the mountains. I'm worried that there are so many people going up the mountain. Maybe anyone will take care of it. It's better to be safer."
