The day before they left Jincheng, the guide took Shen Yu, Tang Li, and the others to a temple at the foot of a nearby mountain.
This temple was called Baoguang Temple. It was not large, but it was very famous in the country. People who only came to Jincheng for tourism would basically go to Baoguang Temple to pray.
It was a workday when they came to the temple, so there were not many people.
Although Jincheng was very warm in this winter, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground around Baoguang Temple, and the front yard of the temple was also covered with snow.
Shen Yu and the others followed the guide into the temple and saw pedestrians in twos and threes, as well as monks sweeping the snow on the roadside.
There was a melancholy sandalwood fragrance in the air, like a big hand caressing people's hearts invisibly. Just by smelling the fragrance, Shen Yu inexplicably felt that his somewhat anxious mood along the way had calmed down a lot.
"You can get the incense for free in the front. Go straight along this road and you will see temples of all sizes." The guide said to Shen Yu, "Offering incense is such a solemn thing. As an outsider, I won't follow you. Call me if you need anything. I'll wait for you here."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Oh, by the way —" The guide suddenly remembered something, and her serious expression became subtle. She deliberately lowered her voice and said meaningfully, "The red-roofed temple on the right in front prays for marriage. I heard that it's very effective …"
Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by a boy's voice.
"We don't pray for that."
The guide was stunned and turned her gaze to the boy next to her, who was almost as tall as her. She found that the boy's eyes were extremely gloomy, as if they were shrouded in a terrifying black fog.
For some reason, the guide was shocked and quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Shen Yu was observing the environment of the temple. When he heard the words, he turned around and looked at the guide, who had a strange expression. He followed the guide's gaze and happened to meet Tang Li's innocent eyes.
Even if he used his toes to think, he could guess what Tang Li's expression was.
Shen Yu was silent for a moment and said helplessly, "… Chestnut."
Tang Li immediately felt wronged. "I didn't do anything."
Shen Yu: "…"
Of course, he knew that Tang Li had not done anything. In fact, Tang Li had just turned eleven years old. Even if he wanted to do something, he might not be able to do it. But perhaps it was because of the aura of a villain. Sometimes, just a look from Tang Li …
It was quite scary.
Shen Yu sighed silently and patted Tang Li's head.
After the bodyguard left with the incense, Shen Yu held Tang Li's hand and whispered to him, "Don't treat others with that kind of attitude in the future. Don't you think it's rude?"
Tang Li, who was criticized, was not angry at all. Instead, he stared at Shen Yu with his deep black eyes.
There were people coming and going around them, but they didn't move.
Shen Yu felt guilty under Tang Li's direct gaze. He wrinkled his nose uncomfortably. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to take a step back. "I don't blame you. It's just that if you do something wrong, I should point it out."
Hearing this, Tang Li suddenly said, "Do you want to get married?"
"…" Shen Yu was stunned for a few seconds and widened his eyes in surprise. "I'm not discussing this topic with you."
Tang Li was expressionless. His eyes were as calm as the surface of a lake without any waves. He stubbornly returned to the previous topic. "Shen Yu, do you want to get married?"
Shen Yu was so angry at Tang Li's reaction that his stomach hurt. But in order to appease the child, he chose to answer honestly, "I don't plan to get married for the time being, and I promised you that I won't get married before you become an adult."
"Oh," Tang Li said.
However, Shen Yu could clearly feel that the anxiety and fear in Tang Li's eyes were slowly dissipating. He seemed to be relieved.
Then, Tang Li showed a bright smile. "Uncle Zhang is still waiting for us in front. Let's go quickly."
Shen Yu was speechless.
Today's sun was just right. Rays of sunlight hung down and fell on the snow, setting off the surrounding environment to be particularly bright.
Shen Yu stared at Tang Li's beautiful little face so clearly. He had a high nose bridge, a thin chin, and slightly raised phoenix eyes that seemed to contain thousands of light spots, which were overflowing with a smile.
At the same time, Tang Li was also looking at Shen Yu.
His eyes were extremely focused.
It was as if in this world, his sight could only accommodate the person in front of him, and he could only see the person in front of him.
For a moment, the familiar strange feeling climbed into Shen Yu's heart again. He was stunned for a moment, and then awkwardly turned his face away.
"Let's go." After Shen Yu finished speaking, he steered the wheelchair to Uncle Zhang's position in front of them, as if he was running away.
Fortunately, some of Shen Yu's emotions came and went quickly. It didn't take long for him to return to normal. He happily burned incense and knelt down with Tang Li.
Of course, it was Tang Li and Uncle Zhang's business to kneel down and pray.
When they passed by the red-roofed temple mentioned by the guide, Tang Li suddenly pushed Shen Yu's wheelchair forward, as if he wanted to stay as far away from the temple as possible. Uncle Zhang and the two bodyguards both saw through Tang Li's thoughts and followed him without saying a word.
It was not until they were far away that Tang Li let go of Shen Yu's wheelchair.
Shen Yu took a deep breath. "Tang Li …"
"I'm sorry!" Tang Li was not vague in his apology. He looked at Shen Yu pitifully and said, "Brother Shen Yu, I was wrong."
Shen Yu: "…"
Tang Li took the initiative to admit his mistake, but he actually didn't know what to say.
After holding it in for a long time, Shen Yu's face was a little red. He slowly exhaled the turbid air in his heart and said dejectedly, "Ah, forget it …"
Tang Li smiled until his eyes were curved. He went forward and hugged Shen Yu's arm. He rubbed his face on Shen Yu's body like a spoiled little pet. His voice was also soft. "Brother Shen Yu, you're so nice."
Shen Yu didn't know what to do with Tang Li. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Tang Li's loose hair even harder.
Tang Li didn't struggle. He squinted his eyes and seemed to enjoy Shen Yu's caress very much.
After the adult and the child in front of them walked away, Uncle Zhang, who had a stiff expression, finally relaxed. He turned his head and looked at the two bodyguards who also had a complicated expression on their faces.
The three of them looked at each other for a long time and sighed together.
According to the current situation, their family's Mr. Shen might be completely controlled by that child. They didn't know if it would have some impact on the Shen family if it continued to develop like this.
Uncle Zhang thought of the rumors about the Shen family outside, as well as those who said that Tang Li was about to become the heir of the Shen family. He suddenly felt a little dignified.
·
There was a wishing wall in the backyard of the temple.
Wooden boards with words written on them were densely packed on the top.
Shen Yu wasn't very interested in these things. He was mainly too lazy to write on the wooden signs.
However, since he was already here, Shen Yu still ordered Uncle Zhang to get two wooden signs. He handed one of the wooden signs and a marker pen to Tang Li.
Tang Li looked curiously at the wooden sign in Shen Yu's hand and asked, "Shen Yu, what are you writing?"
Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Your family is healthy and safe. You also grow up happily."
Unfortunately, this wooden sign was only as big as his palm, and the words written with the marker pen were very long. Shen Yu couldn't write such a long sentence on the wooden sign.
Therefore, Shen Yu cleverly changed to a more important wish — that the company wouldn't go bankrupt.
Uncle Zhang, who was standing behind Shen Yu, saw the words on the wooden sign. The corner of his mouth twitched twice. He felt helpless and amused.
Shen Yu asked Uncle Zhang to hang his wooden sign high on the wishing wall. Then, he tilted his head to look at Tang Li's wooden sign.
Tang Li was next to Shen Yu. He lowered his head, held the wooden sign in one hand, and held a marker pen in the other hand. He carefully wrote on the wooden sign.
It had to be said that Tang Li's handwriting was very beautiful. Although it was not convenient for him to hold a marker pen, he still wrote in one go. It could be seen that he had learned it when he was a child.
However, Shen Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was not as tall as Tang Li, who was standing. He stretched his neck, but could only see one or two words written by Tang Li on the edge of the wooden sign.
Shen Yu looked around for a long time, but he didn't see anything. Finally, he said gloomily, "Chestnut, what did you write?"
He thought that a child like Tang Li would be embarrassed to show his written wish to others. However, Tang Li turned his wrist and generously handed the wooden sign to Shen Yu.
It was clearly written on it —
We won't get married.
Shen Yu was stunned for a long time. He became even more depressed and said, "How can I live with my brother for the rest of my life?"
Tang Li tilted his head, looked at Shen Yu quietly, and didn't speak.
Shen Yu was attracted by Tang Li's confused look. He raised his hand and scratched the tip of Tang Li's nose with his index finger. He said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about in the future?"
Tang Li didn't think so, "Haven't I been gossiped about?"
Shen Yu suddenly choked.
At Tang Li's insistence, the wooden sign with the strange wish was hung next to Shen Yu's by Uncle Zhang. At first glance, Shen Yu and Tang Li's wishes were very funny.
At noon, they had some vegetarian food in the temple.
The guide and the abbot of the temple were very familiar with each other. With Uncle Zhang's lobbying and donations, Master Hui Jing, who rarely appeared in public throughout the year, actually took the initiative to ask to see Shen Yu.
The meeting time was set at two o 'clock in the afternoon. Shen Yu saw that it was still early, so he went to the backyard alone while Tang Li, Uncle Zhang, and others were resting.
In fact, he wanted to take down the two wooden signs with his and Tang Li's wishes written on them. Maybe it was because he had a guilty conscience. He was afraid that the more he cared about something, the more it would come.
And Tang Li's wish …
It was really strange.
Sometimes, Shen Yu was also frightened by Tang Li's crazy monopolization.
In the afternoon, there was no one at the wishing wall. Even the monk who distributed the wooden signs here was nowhere to be found.
Shen Yu looked in front of the wishing wall for a long time, but he still couldn't find a way to take down the two wooden signs.
At this moment, a handsome young monk slowly walked to Shen Yu. He put his palms together and said "Good Samaritan". Then he gently asked Shen Yu if he needed any help.
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed. He pointed to his and Tang Li's wooden signs and said that he wanted to take down the two wooden signs.
The monk looked up at the wooden signs. He didn't doubt whether the two wooden signs were hung up by Shen Yu or not. He helped him take them down without saying anything.
Shen Yu put away the wooden signs and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"You are welcome." The monk nodded slightly with a kind look, and then looked at Shen Yu quietly.
For some reason, although the monk's eyes were very calm and sincere, Shen Yu suddenly felt panic at this moment. He didn't even have the courage to look back at the monk's eyes.
Shen Yu's forehead overflowed with a layer of cold sweat. He hurriedly said goodbye to the monk and turned his wheelchair to leave.
But the monk said, "Can I have a word with you, Benefactor?"
