Chapter 204 This is Yours
“This temple isn’t secret.”
Almost all the residents living here know that there is a temple deep in the snow-capped mountains. Although the distance is far, there is still communication between the town and the temple.
"Ah."
Zhang Qiling nodded and summarized the dialect he had just heard.
"So their target is not the Lama Temple, they just want to pass by there?" Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows.
"After passing that place and going deeper into the snowy mountains... how can I say that we are really traveling the same way?"
"Can any piece of gossip become a tool for others to explore the way forward?" Qin Yuchen grinned, unable to comprehend how stupid these people were.
"A lot." Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes.
"..."
Qin Yuchen understood the meaning of Zhang Qiling's words and laughed louder.
"Too."
They have seen too many people like this, and all of them are here to make a fortune, so it's not surprising.
"...That's even more wrong." The person who was mocking the full-scale last second became confused again.
Zhang Qiling's eyelids twitched, and he had a feeling that what someone was suspicious about was not a good thing.
"Since we're all in the underworld, shouldn't I know you better?"
Sure enough, since some time ago, people who could only be serious for three seconds said things that Zhang Qiling didn't want to hear.
Zhang Qiling couldn't help but pinch his nose, thinking, do I have to be recognized? Can't I just be a passerby?
What's good about being recognized?!
Zhang Qiling sighed and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
Qin Yuchen had been paying attention to Zhang Qiling's expression. He was very satisfied when he saw his expression become rich for a moment and he smiled.
“Pfft—hahaha alright alright, I’m just teasing you~”
Qin Yuchen winked at the man, opened the low cabinet next to him and took out a plastic basin. He stood up and put a scarf on his shoulders, then took out a cup from his backpack and put it in the basin.
"I'm going to wash up first."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out quickly.
"...?"
Zhang Qiling sat there blankly, his eyes fixed on the bed. He seemed to think for a moment before walking to the bed and spreading out the neatly folded quilt.
Then, he went out with the toiletries.
-
Early the next morning.
Zhang Qiling went downstairs to have breakfast alone.
The group of people from last night were still there, still sitting in the same seats. When they saw it was Zhang Qiling, they didn't do anything extra and continued doing what they were doing.
But the gentle man asked one more question:
"Hey, young man, why are you alone? Where is that young man Wang?"
Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, and didn't even glance at the man. He went to the front desk alone, ordered a bowl of noodles, and then found a seat where he could see the door.
The man: "..."
The man didn't get angry. I don't know if he was trying to save face or something, but he said "introvert" to the people around him.
When Qin Yuchen came back, most of the people who were eating on the first floor had left, and only three or two people were still smoking and drinking tea.
He brushed off the snow on his shoulders, and the moment he raised his eyes, he met Zhang Qiling's gaze.
Qin Yuchen pulled off the scarf that covered half of his face and walked quickly towards Zhang Qiling:
"It's facing the door. Isn't it cold?"
Zhang Qiling handed the hot tea to Tan Yuchen: "It's not cold."
Qin Yuchen took off his gloves, grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand to feel the temperature, then raised his hand close to Zhang Qiling's face and found that he was indeed warm, so he nodded in belief.
"We've rented it. We'll leave when the snow stops."
"Okay." Zhang Qiling responded while looking at the counter. The woman behind the counter understood immediately and turned into the kitchen.
"No hurry, let's eat first."
"Hmm?" Tan Yuchen stopped drinking tea, "Didn't you say I could eat first?"
This was what he specifically emphasized before he left, so that Zhang Qiling could eat first and not wait for him.
After all, he didn't know how long it would take him to come back, and he couldn't let Zhang Qiling wait forever, right?
Qin Yuchen pursed his lips and glared at Zhang Qiling.
"Yeah." Zhang Qiling raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This is your share."
"That's good." Qin Yuchen's eyes changed in an instant. After drinking the tea, he signaled someone to pour him another cup.
After breakfast, the two people who had nothing to do returned to the room and waited quietly for the heavy snow to subside or stop.
However, the weather seemed to be playing a joke on the two of them. Qin Yuchen thought that the heavy snow would only last for one or two days at most, but it lasted for five days.
On the morning of the sixth day, the snow gradually stopped and a sunny day arrived, which had not been seen for a long time.
While it was still early, the two packed up all their things, checked out of the hotel with their boss, and went to the place where they rented the horses.
The horse rental boss was waiting there early with two horses. When he saw Qin Yuchen, he immediately smiled and stepped aside so that he could see the horses better:
"I have packed everything you need, please see..."
Qin Yuchen stepped forward, patted the horse's neck, and checked the package again. Seeing that there was no problem, he took out the card and handed it to the boss.
"Okay, you can pay the price we agreed on."
"Okay, okay!" The boss' smile grew wider. He took out the POS machine that had been prepared long ago, entered the amount swiftly, looked at it politely to Qin Yuchen, and then swiped the card.
When everything was ready, the two men led the horses out of the town.
We continued on our way without stopping and arrived at the Lama Temple before it got dark.
Qin Yuchen looked at the temple standing in the wind and snow, and for the first time he lamented how fast time passed.
The last time I came here was several years ago.
At that time, they didn't know anyone named Wuxie.
Qin Yuchen dismounted and walked up the stairs with Zhang Qiling.
When I arrived at the somewhat dilapidated wooden door, there were braziers on both sides of the door as usual. The charcoal inside was burning vigorously, adding some warmth to the bleak scene.
Qin Yuchen watched Zhang Qiling approach the brazier, standing in the same position as usual, and raising his hands to keep warm.
It seems like nothing has changed.
Qin Yuchen crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes passed over Zhang Qiling's hands and fell on that face, smiling silently.
No, it has changed a little.
