Chapter 206 How long have you been here?
The night breeze of early autumn is very refreshing, blowing in the Chengzhai restaurant.
Everyone on the dining chairs was unable to bend over because they had eaten too much, and their buttocks were sitting on the edge of the chair, with their backs pressed against the backrest.
"Well, I'm so satisfied." Brother Cheng touched his belly as if he had been pregnant for ten months.
"Sister... I might as well faint once a day from now on." Cheng Xiaomei burped.
"Go, go, stop talking nonsense!" Cheng Ling rolled his eyes at his little sister, then looked around at the slumped people in the restaurant, "Are you too weak?"
Mother Cheng was so overwhelmed that she couldn't say a word.
The housekeeper reluctantly spoke and praised: "The craftsmanship of the eldest lady is really good... It's a pity that the old lady didn't taste it."
Cheng Ling looked at the housekeeper.
She knew that the housekeeper had something to say later.
Sure enough, I heard the housekeeper hiccupping respectfully and said: "Miss, hiccup... the old lady invites you to go to the Beifeng Huling Temple to meet him during the Mid-Autumn Festival in four days."
Cheng Ling nodded, "Uncle Li, please tell my grandpa that I will definitely go."
She stood up and said, "I'm full and I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead." Father Cheng waved his hand.
Just as Cheng Xiaomei was about to ask her to stay, Cheng's mother pulled her back and winked.
Cheng Ling went upstairs, and Cheng's mother said, "I feel like Xiao Ling is not in a good mood today."
Brother Cheng also nodded, "I can see it too."
Father Cheng frowned: "It stands to reason that there is nothing to worry about, right?"
Cheng Ling was not in a bad mood, but rather reluctant to give up.
It had only been more than half a month since she came to this home, but she felt as if she had lived here for decades.
She likes it here.
I like every item, every person, and the family atmosphere.
Back in her room, Cheng Ling felt her emotions surge and she had to wash her face before she regained her composure.
Team member Alexei disappeared inexplicably at the border with China, and this matter has been deep in her heart.
After all, they are her team members, and as captain, she has the responsibility and obligation to protect the safety of every team member.
The Wild Boar Forest case has been solved, and the commandos should have evacuated.
There are still four days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she goes to explore the wild boar forest at this time, she may not have enough time.
Then let’s wait until we finish visiting grandpa.
So Cheng Ling sent a message to Wang Zhen and asked her not to receive any announcements from her for the time being.
In the next few days, Cheng Ling stayed at home without leaving the house.
Exercise your muscles, code your words, go to Cherry Tomato Novels to tease your little book fans, go to Weibo to tease your pretty fans, and then point out the cooking skills of the chef at home.
She enjoyed a quiet and peaceful day for the first time in a long time.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Ling packed his luggage early in the morning.
In the morning, Cheng Xiaomei woke up feeling dizzy.
She had another whole night's dream of reciting ancient poems.
But she didn't tell anyone that she wasn't feeling well.
She was afraid that if she spoke out, her family would not let her go out with her sister, so she kept silent.
Depart in the afternoon. The housekeeper and the scar-faced driver took Cheng Ling and Cheng Mianhu all the way to Maple City Airport, stored the car, and the four of them took the first-class flight to Hangzhou together.
The entire journey was silent.
After getting off the plane, people from Cheng Group's Hangzhou branch had already sent the commercial vehicle to the airport.
Scarface drove the three of them to the foot of North Peak Mountain. It was dusk.
There are several temples on this mountain from the foot of the mountain to the top.
The housekeeper bowed: "Miss, I and I are waiting for you at the temple at the foot of the mountain. I have already said hello to the old man. Please climb up the mountain road. There is a mountain lake at the highest peak, and beside the lake is the Huling Temple. Old Master I’ll wait for you at the temple.”
Cheng Ling picked up his backpack, said goodbye to his sister and housekeeper, and climbed all the way up.
North Peak is a great place.
The mountains are misty, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing quietly. It is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.
There are mountain springs flowing down the mountain along the ditches on both sides of the mountain road.
Cheng Ling climbed the mountain and watched the scenery. It took about half an hour to climb to the top of the mountain.
There is a cave on the top of the mountain, with lush trees, and a natural lake hidden deep in the trees. Next to it is a simple temple with green bricks and green tiles, which looks quite historical.
Cheng Ling took a breath and walked towards the temple.
The door of the temple is open, and a half-body clay sculpture is enshrined in the main hall.
There is a long altar table in front of the clay sculpture. On the altar are an incense burner and several colorful plates of fruits and snacks.
In front of the table, there is a futon for kneeling and worshiping.
At this moment, someone was kneeling upright on the futon.
This man has gray hair and broad shoulders. He holds a stick of incense in both hands and looks at the half-cut clay statue.
It was Mrs. Cheng.
Cheng Ling knocked on the door gently, "Grandpa."
Mr. Cheng took the incense, bowed three times to the half-broken clay sculpture, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then turned around.
This old man has a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. He is fifty-six times similar to Cheng's father, but he is older and more majestic.
While Cheng Ling was looking at him, Mrs. Cheng was also looking at her.
Cheng Ling bowed slightly and walked into the hall: "Grandpa, I'm here."
She stood still in front of her grandfather.
"Yes. You are here." Grandpa's tone was calm and distant, "How long have you been here?"
Cheng Ling thought, this is asking her how long it took her to climb the mountain.
So she replied, "About half an hour."
The old man's voice was low: "No. I mean, how long has it been since you came here as a spirit?"
