Both of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at the Immortal Temple located halfway up the mountain. To enter the temple, they had to pay ten dollars as incense money.
Chen Xing originally thought that he didn't have to pay to enter the temple. Now that he heard that he had to pay to enter the temple, he found it a little funny. In a market economy, everything was related to money. Even a temple that wasn't very famous like this had to pay to enter.
Chen Xing, this Immortal Temple is actually quite famous in Rivertown. Of course, it can't be compared to those famous temples in China. However, there are still quite a number of local believers. Look, there are quite a number of believers who come here to burn incense and pray to Buddha. Zeng Jing smiled.
Hehe, one had to pay to enter the temple. I wonder if they are sincere in making the believers kneel down or using this opportunity to make money. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He turned to look at Zeng Jing. Should we go in and light some incense?
Forget it, I don't believe in this. Zeng Jing shook his head.
Forget it then. Let's go up the mountain. Chen Xing smiled. As the mayor, he naturally wouldn't believe in this.
The two of them continued to climb up the mountain. After a while, they would reach the scenic area on the mountain. They had to pay twenty dollars to enter the mountain. If Chen Xing and Zeng Jing wanted to go up the mountain, they naturally had to pay this amount.
It had to be said that the scenery on the mountain was not bad. Although Chen Xing had never heard of Mount Jiuyun before, it had a certain level of fame in the local area. Mount Jiuyun was not entirely undeserved. Although some of the scenic spots were obviously man-made, such as the 'Sky Lake' and the 'Wooden Plank Road', the natural scenery on the mountain was not bad.
In the future, he should really go out for a walk. Otherwise, he would grow moldy in the office. Standing on the mountain top, Chen Xing breathed in the fresh air and looked into the distance. Looking at the beautiful scenery, he felt as if he was traveling with the world. He couldn't help but sigh.
You're the mayor and have a lot of work to do. Sometimes, you can't even slack off if you want to. Zeng Jing smiled.
You are right, but there are gains and losses. As a mayor, you have to pay. Otherwise, you will be letting down the people. Chen Xing smiled. "Zeng Jing, you should relax more. You're a woman. You don't have to tire yourself out."
Once he got used to it, he wouldn't feel tired anymore. If he was too idle, he wouldn't be able to stand it. Zeng Jing shook his head and smiled.
Well, I thought that your work in the Public Security Bureau was too tiring. Chen Xing frowned. Zeng Jing, you can be transferred to another department. That way, you can have more time to take care of your family.
Forget it. Let's not think about it for the time being. Now the child is taken care of by the elderly, so I don't have to worry too much. I can focus more on my work. I'll think about it when the elderly's health is not good. Zeng Jing smiled. She knew that Chen Xing was trying to help her. As long as she asked, Chen Xing would definitely help her transfer to another department and treat her well. But Zeng Jing didn't want to move. She had been a policewoman since she graduated from the police academy. Now more than ten years had passed. Zeng Jing really liked this job. If she could, she would rather devote her life to the public security cause.
Not wanting to talk about this topic, Zeng Jing smiled and pointed to the cable car not far away. "Chen Xing, let's go and take that. You may not believe it, but I have lived for more than 30 years and have never taken a cable car before."
"Well, we should go and take a seat. Just take it as a regret." Chen Xing said with a smile.
They went to take the cable car. They had to pay another 20 yuan to take the cable car. Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh that all the scenic spots had one thing in common, that was, they were good at collecting money, and there were many charges.
The cable car went from the top of the mountain on one side to the top of the mountain on the other side. They could enjoy the scenery of the valley. The carriage made of transparent glass made people feel like they were in the air, which was quite exciting.
The carriage was spacious, and there was plenty of space for two people to sit inside. Chen Xing and Zeng Jing sat on each side, stepping on the transparent glass. At a glance, they could see the bottom of the valley. People with acrophobia would tremble at the sight. Zeng Jing said with a smile. People with acrophobia probably wouldn't dare to sit in this carriage.
"I don't think so. After all, we are sitting in a box, and it won't make people feel dangerous."
People with acrophobia would feel extremely insecure when they reach a certain height. Even if they were sitting in a box, as long as they could see down, they would still feel insecure. Zeng Jing said with a smile.
"Maybe. But some people like to experience more thrilling and exciting feelings." Chen Xing laughed. "Speaking of which, I …"
Chen Xing's words came to an abrupt end. The cable cars that were sliding along the track in the air suddenly stopped. Those who had already sat on the opposite mountain were fine, but those who hadn't arrived yet were hovering in the air.
The sudden situation shocked Chen Xing. He didn't even have time to finish his sentence and looked around. Chen Xing's eyes widened. "What's going on? Is there a malfunction?"
"We can't be so unlucky, can we?" "It's rare for us to encounter a malfunction on our first ride." Zeng Jing was also astonished. The cable car they were sitting on happened to slide to the middle, facing the deepest part of the valley. Jiuyun Mountain was more than 1,000 meters above sea level. Although they weren't necessarily at the highest altitude, even if they were hovering a few hundred meters in the air, with transparent glass under their feet, anyone would feel insecure, especially when there was an unknown malfunction.
Time passed second by second, and the cable car still stopped moving. At this time, for those who were timid, even if the cable car only stopped for a minute, it would be a torment. The fear of the unknown was often more terrifying than anything else. There were already people in other cable cars shouting toward the opposite mountain. They seemed to be calling for the staff. However, the length of the track in the air was not short at all. The people shouting toward the opposite mountain could only hear their voices echoing in the valley. They didn't know whether the people on the opposite mountain heard them or not.
It was likely that there was a malfunction. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stopped moving. No matter how brave the management of the scenic spot was, they wouldn't dare to tease the tourists like this. If they encountered someone with a heart disease, they might even have a heart attack. Zeng Jing shook his head and laughed.
"Hey, with our luck, I think we can go buy a lottery ticket today. Maybe we can win the big prize." Chen Xing laughed.
"People who buy lottery tickets all hope to get rich overnight. Do you lack money?" Zeng Jing looked at Chen Xing, amused.
"I don't lack money, but no one will complain about having too much money." Chen Xing laughed. Looking at Zeng Jing's charming smile, Chen Xing couldn't help but stand up.
While hesitating, Chen Xing sat on the long and narrow chair beside Zeng Jing. The two sat together.
