Chapter 338
Yingbi Spring is in a valley twenty or thirty miles outside the city.

There is an old Guanyin Temple outside the valley, and the horse-drawn carts that come here to transport the spring water are stored outside the Guanyin Temple, and the aunt of the temple helps to guard it. Naturally, it has to pay a hard fee.

The guard fee for each carriage was fifteen Wen, and Guanyin Temple relied on this to earn a few taels of silver every month.

The proceeds are mainly used to take care of some orphans adopted by the temple.

That's right, Guanyin Temple is not only a temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, but also a care hall for orphans.

The orphans adopted inside are only a few months old, and the oldest are no more than 12 years old.

If you are over 12 years old, you have to leave Guanyin Temple to find another way of life.

Guanyin Temple is famous for its care hall, which is well attended by some kind-hearted believers, and the incense is not strong but it continues.

After Wu Erlang deposited the carriage in Guanyin Temple, he took Wanniang into the mountain.

There are still three or four miles of mountain roads from Guanyin Temple to Yingbi Spring.

Wu Erlang was carrying a bucket with a package stuffed in it.

The package contained the picnic food Mrs. Zhou had prepared for them. She specially prepared a large package for fear that they would be hungry on the way.

The two walked hand in hand on the somewhat rugged mountain road.

A place with good water must be a good mountain, and a good mountain is naturally strange and steep.

So it is not easy to drink the water from Yingbi Spring.

After walking more than two miles on the mountain road, Wanniang started to sweat, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from her face under the veiled hat, and said pantingly: "The mountains are dangerous and the roads are twists and turns, and good water is hidden deep in the mountains. "

She didn't expect that the mountain spring was hidden so deep, and the road was twists and turns, and the mountain was high and steep.

Wu Erlang knew that she was still weak, so he walked very slowly, and a group of people behind overtook them and went to the front.

He accompanied her to a spacious place and asked her to sit down and rest.

"We're here to relax, and we're just drinking mountain spring water. Don't worry, we'll take a break when we're tired."

"Well, let's go after a while." Tired is tired, but Wanniang feels refreshed after sweating a little.

There was no one in front or behind, so she raised her veil to look at the surrounding mountains, and exclaimed, "The mountains here are so steep!"

There is a cliff less than half a foot away from the feet, and the timid probably dare not look down.

Standing beside her, Wu Erlang took off the water bag hanging from his body, and handed her a few sips of sweet tea.

"Don't be afraid, I think the mountain road ahead is going down, and the mountain spring is probably not far away."

Wanniang wasn't afraid, she just didn't expect to reach such a high place without knowing it.

"Are you hungry?" Wu Erlang asked her.

"I'm not hungry." I went out after breakfast, and it was less than two hours from now, so I couldn't be hungry.

"Mother baked egg pancakes this morning and served them with minced meat. I'll eat them for you when you're hungry." Wu Erlang patted the bucket, "It's all here."

Wanniang likes to eat egg pancakes made by Mrs. Zhou the most. They are fragrant and crispy, and they are even more delicious when served with meat fillings.

"Mother deliberately didn't tell you that she made egg pancakes this morning, so I could surprise you." Wu Erlang said with a smile.

It's okay if Wu Erlang didn't say anything, but she swallowed her saliva as soon as she said it, she pulled Wu Erlang's sleeve, blinked and said, "I want to eat."

Wu Erlang's smile grew stronger, he knew that Wanniang would definitely have an appetite to eat after walking such a long mountain road.

The scenery here is good, coupled with the food she likes to eat, the people are beautiful and the mood is beautiful!
He bent over and took out the package from the bucket, which contained egg pancakes and walnut crisps and pears and pomegranates.

Food and fruit go well together.

As soon as the package was opened, the rich aroma of the omelet wafted out.

Wanniang swallowed, took a bite of the omelette wrapped in oiled paper.

Mmm, delicious as always!
Seeing her smiling and eating deliciously, Wu Erlang was about to squeeze a piece of walnut cake to satisfy his craving, but he heard a strange sound in his ear.

He hastily listened intently, his right hand reaching for the dagger at his waist.
