After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 572: Golden Cloud Peak
Looking around, the mountains are covered with golden light.
At dusk, the golden glow spread over the mountain top, dyeing the entire mountain golden, as if the mountain was covered with a golden battle robe, making it look particularly majestic. The light penetrated the gaps in the clouds, like a ladder from heaven, reaching straight to the clouds.
On the top of the mountain, all kinds of trees swayed in the breeze, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering something. The rocks were rimmed with gold by the sunlight, and each stone became vivid, as if a monkey would jump out from the cracks at any time.
My goodness, the scenery here is really amazing. If it were slightly developed in the real world, it would definitely be a great tourist destination gifted by God.
Xu Boan searched for a while and soon found Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu.
The mountain road was rugged, but it was not a problem for Yan Xiaojiu, a strong young man with superb martial arts. When encountering a difficult road, Yan Xiaojiu could level it in a few steps, and then help Chen Shishi walk through it.
Not far behind the two of them, Xu Bo'an found the dilapidated temple where he had just appeared.
It was a small temple in the mountains that was only about ten square meters. Compared with those temples in human living areas that were hundreds of square meters in size, this small temple was indeed a bit too small.
This place is so small that it has no courtyard walls. There is only a lonely little house standing alone in the mountain stream.
But you have to know that this place is located in the mountains where few people go. Even Xu Boan was shocked to find such a temple.
This temple is built of stones and yellow mud, which may have been the most suitable building materials available when the temple was built. The straight and flat temple walls show the care of the craftsmen at that time.
But at this moment, perhaps because of the drought, the outer wall of the temple has some signs of cracks. There is no trace of moss between the stones. Only a few scattered clumps of tenacious weeds are struggling to survive in the cracks, adding a few signs of life to this lonely temple.
The temple gate also looks even older due to wind and sun, and the rust on the door knocker has witnessed the changing of countless seasons. Just now, when Chen Shishi and Yan Xiaojiu pushed open the door, Xu Boan still remembered the harsh sound of metal friction, which was the unique mark left by time here.
Most of the tiles on the roof were broken and incomplete, which enabled Xu Bo'an to break free from the constraints of the temple architecture and open his sight.
Under the eaves of the roof in front, there is a cracked wooden plaque hanging. Under the erosion of wind and sun, the four corners of the plaque have become irregularly deformed, but the words on the plaque are still clear.
Xu Boan explained carefully and soon figured out that the big words on it were "Temple of the God of Jinxiading Mountain".
On the walls on both sides of the dilapidated gate, there are two wooden plaques hung, also engraved with words, "The green mountains hide miracles, the quiet ancient temple reflects the skylight; the birds in the forest sing stories, and the grace of God blesses the world."
As Xu Bo'an recited the couplet word by word, he imagined the lush and green appearance of the mountain named Jinxiading.
The drought in recent years has had a huge impact here.
Looking around, although there are still countless trees, they no longer look lush and green.
But even so, the scenery of this place is enough to shock Xu Boan.
At this moment, Xu Bo'an suddenly remembered the famous line "all the mountains seem small when viewed from a distance".
This peak is named "Top", so it is naturally the highest point among the surrounding mountains. It is spectacular when you look around.
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but take out his cell phone and took a photo from a bird's-eye view as a souvenir, and then he left here reluctantly.
Xu Boan was so absorbed in watching that he suddenly saw a
……
After finishing the work inside the bonsai, Xu Boan went straight to the airport. After waiting for a while, he met his old classmate Malu whom he hadn't seen for many days.
After not seeing him for a while, Malu seemed to have lost some weight, and he looked a little tired as he had been traveling all day.
When Xu Bo'an saw Ma Lu coming over, he opened his arms and gave his old classmate a big hug. Then he saw Liu Wei not far away smiling stiffly and looking at Xu Bo'an.
Seeing Xu Bo'an looking over, Liu Wei hurriedly forced out a smile and greeted Xu Bo'an: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
When Liu Yan was around, Liu Wei felt she could remain calmer when facing Xu Bo'an. But now that Liu Yan was not around, Liu Wei always felt a little short of breath. After all, she was also an accomplice among those who had cheated Xu Bo'an.
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Liu Wei is back too. That's good. It's a good opportunity for us to go back and see your sister."
Xu Boan originally thought that Malu came back alone this time, but he didn't expect that Liu Wei also came back with him.
Xu Bo'an gave Liu Wei an option for Liu Yan's sake, and asked her to go to Weizhou to find Malu to develop the market there.
To be honest, there were only two of them there, and Xu Bo'an subconsciously felt that if one person came back, at least another person should leave behind, which would be normal.
But now both of them are back, which is a bit inappropriate.
Ma Lu has been working for many years, so he naturally understood what was wrong. He immediately explained to Xu Bo'an, "Boss, Liu Wei played a big role in the big contract I told you about. She should have the credit. I was also afraid that some parts of the report might not be in place, so I asked her to come back with me."
Liu Wei seemed relieved when she heard Malu explaining for her, and immediately cast a grateful look towards Malu.
Malu also smiled at Liu Wei as a response.
Xu Boan saw it, but he had some thoughts in his mind.
My goodness, what are these two people doing with their eyes flirting with each other? Could it be that they are both expressing their feelings with their eyes?
Malu, you went to Weizhou to work, not to date.
I, Lao Xu, don’t object to you dating. After all, you are single now and you have your freedom.
But Liu Wei has a lot of experience, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. But I can think about it, but I can't say it in front of others.
Xu Bo'an immediately said with a smile: "Really? That's great. Liu Wei has only been here for a few days, and she has made such a contribution. I am very pleased. I believe your sister will be very happy when she knows it."
Liu Wei smiled and said stiffly: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xu. It is all thanks to your support and the guidance of Manager Ma."
Strictly speaking, Malu is not a manager.
But when salespeople are doing business, they need a title to make things easier for them.
The two sentences "I am Malu, a salesperson at a certain company" and "I am Malu, a manager at a certain company" will naturally give people different feelings.
In addition, Liu Wei's first opportunity to go to Weizhou was to be Malu's assistant and help him develop the market, so there was nothing wrong with her calling him that.
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, let's find a place to eat something first."
Malu laughed and said, "Haha, when I first accepted this contract, I was thinking about ripping you off... no, several times. Now that you've delivered it to me today, I won't be polite."
Liu Wei said sensibly, "I won't go, Mr. Xu. I ate a lot of boxed meals and fruits provided by the flight attendants on the plane. I'm not hungry at all. I want to find a place to rest for a while."
Malu seemed a little disappointed and said, "That won't work, Liu Wei. I just saw you on the plane. You only ate a little bit. You've been traveling all the way. How can you not eat something good to fill your stomach? Let's go together."
Liu Wei declined politely, "Really, no thanks, Manager Ma. Thank you for your concern and kindness. I'm trying to lose weight, so I don't eat at night. I've eaten enough today."
After hearing what Liu Wei said, Malu didn't say anything more.
Xu Boan nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's go, put the things in the car first. I have booked a hotel not far away, and we can eat and sleep there."
Soon, the three of them returned to the hotel, and then Liu Wei said goodbye to Xu Bo'an and Malu and went back to their rooms first.
After watching Liu Wei enter the elevator, Ma Lu's eyes were still staring in the direction of the elevator entrance. Xu Bo'an reached out his hand with a bit of disappointment, patted Ma Lu on the back of the head, and said unhappily: "Still looking? The elevator door is closed, what are you still looking at?"
Ma Lu was startled by Xu Bo'an's sudden action. He shrank his neck and said, "Boss, what are you doing? You scared me to death."
Xu Bo'an said with a fake smile: "Hehe, if you don't do anything wrong in the middle of the night, you will never be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. This hotel lobby is bright and bright, what do you have to be afraid of? I think you have a ghost in your heart!"
Malu rolled his eyes at Xu Bo'an in anger and said, "Stop talking nonsense to me in a sarcastic way. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow."
Xu Bo'an raised his hand and stretched out two fingers to Malu, making a two-fingered eye-poking gesture, and teased: "Good fellow, youngest brother, we have been brothers sleeping in the same room for four years, and you are still pretending to be stupid in front of me!
As soon as you stick your butt out, I can tell what shit you are going to take!
Just now, your eyes almost fell out, and you wanted to follow Liu Wei upstairs. You still said that you are not afraid of your own shadow! I am a little doubtful whether I asked Liu Wei to help you. "
Ma Lu blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing going on between Liu Wei and me. Let's go and order some food first. I'm so hungry."
Xu Boan immediately asked Malu to sit in the hotel restaurant nearby. As it was getting late, there were not many people eating in the hotel, so the two of them sat at the seat just before entering the restaurant to save trouble.
Then, Xu Bo'an brought up the old matter in a serious tone, saying, "Youngest, don't blame me for being nosy. You are single now, and Liu Wei is also single. This seems to be fine, but you have known each other for too long after all. You need to get to know each other for a while."
Malu obviously didn't want to talk more about this with Xu Bo'an, and laughed it off and said, "I understand, thank you for your concern, brother. But you really think too much, boss, it's nothing."
When Xu Bo'an heard Malu say this, he stopped talking about this topic and immediately called the waiter to ask Malu to order food.
Because there were not many diners in the evening, the four dishes and one soup ordered by Xu Bo'an and Malu arrived after a while.
Because the dishes were served first and the soup later, both of them had almost finished eating by now. When they saw the soup coming, Malu was about to get a bowl of soup to drink, when he suddenly heard a very awkward voice coming from the side.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Ma Lu? What a coincidence that I meet you in Jiangcheng! We are really destined to meet, Mr. Ma." The person who spoke was a man in his early thirties. The man had obviously just drunk some wine and had just walked out of a private room in the restaurant.
Because the place where Malu and Xu Bo'an were sitting was close to the entrance of the restaurant, anyone who came here to eat could see this place when they came in and out. Malu was sitting with his back to the entrance, so anyone who walked out of the restaurant could see Malu's face with just a quick glance when passing by.
Ma Lu looked up at the other person and said, "I don't deserve it. I have already resigned. Mr. Sun, please don't flatter me anymore."
The man called Mr. Sun laughed and said, "Resign. But I heard that you were fired! But it doesn't seem to make much difference, you're out of work anyway."
In fact, although Malu did resign voluntarily, when going through the procedures, the company leaders still gave him some face and allowed him to follow the dismissal procedure.
In this way, he can receive unemployment insurance benefits for a longer period of time.
Although this matter is a bit shameful, it is understandable to say the least.
But when it came out of Mr. Sun's mouth, it felt as if Millipede was a bit like a lost dog.
Seeing that the other party's words were getting more and more off-putting and provocative, Ma Lu was too lazy to pay attention to the other party and didn't want to cause trouble, so he said expressionlessly: "Okay, Mr. Sun, you have drunk too much, let's talk another day, you go and do your thing."
Mr. Sun did not leave several times, but came closer, resting his drunken hands on the table, and said, "Mr. Ma, please don't chase me away. After all, we are colleagues, and we are destined to be together. Besides, I am a kind person, and I really can't bear to see my former colleague fall to such a state."
Malu didn't want to pay attention to the other person at first, but since the other person was standing there and refused to leave, he couldn't force him to leave, so he had to say calmly, "I'm fine. I appreciate your kindness, so please don't worry about it. You've drunk a lot, so go back and rest early."
Mr. Sun, under the influence of alcohol, laughed and pointed at Ma Lu and said, "You are still stubborn! You are stubborn, right? Old Ma, you still have such a bad temper! You look so dusty, you must be a takeaway boy or an errand boy."
After hearing what Mr. Sun said, before Malu could say anything, Xu Boan burst out laughing.
There is no way, Malu happened to be wearing a blue outfit today, and from a distance, he really looked like a delivery man. (End of this chapter)
