The afternoon sun was a bit strong, but since it was only the end of May, the temperature was not very high.
Both Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan wore sun hats and gauze scarves, taking sun protection measures to the extreme.
"You've already gone out to climb mountains, do you still care about getting a tan?" Lin Zhiming joked with a smile. At this time, he had already forgotten the brief conflict with the fat old lady.
"Climbing mountains is to see the scenery and exercise, but you can't make yourself darker just because of it. This is the principle." Yao Jing said.
"Your principles are quite interesting." Lin Zhiming smiled, took Lin Wan'er's hand and walked forward.
Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan were walking a little behind. They placed their two children on the waist stools in front of them, so that they would not interfere with their climbing.
Although Jiuxian Mountain is very high, it is not difficult to climb. There is a very flat and wide plank road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
This is also the reason why Yao Jing and the others chose this place. If it is other mountains, such as Mount Tai and Huashan, the roads in some places are extremely difficult to walk, and it is impossible to walk with children.
Several people climbed to the top of the mountain while admiring the scenery along the way.
Lin Zhiming doesn't like mountains. Rather than climbing mountains, he prefers to go to the beach to bask in the sun, enjoy the sea breeze and look at his bikini.
However, the scenery of Jiuxian Mountain surprised Lin Zhiming. They passed several viewing spots along the way, and he liked the scenery of each viewing spot very much.
After walking for about two hours, the group arrived halfway up the mountain.
There is a resting point here, and many people stop and rest here, just like the previous departure hall.
Lin Zhiming also chose to rest here, because both Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan looked a little exhausted.
"There are still about three hours of journey ahead, and it will take more than an hour to walk to the next resting point. Can you two make it?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan looked at each other.
According to their plan, they had to insist on walking the entire distance, but the ideal was beautiful, and the reality was skinny. They overestimated their physical strength, and their legs were already weak after walking for more than two hours.
.
"Let's rest for a while and then talk." Yao Jing said.
Lin Zhiming smiled and handed the Snickers bar to the two of them.
After the two of them ate and drank for a while, their physical strength finally recovered.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming saw several old acquaintances appearing not far away.
It was the same group of old men and women who were singing and dancing in the departure hall.
These people were holding plastic bags in their hands, and they were also holding some food and drink in their hands. They were eating and drinking while walking, and then when they were done, they threw the packaging boxes and other things in their hands directly to the roadside.
The one walking in front of these old men and women was the fat old woman from before.
She saw Lin Zhiming and others resting on chairs, with a look of disdain on her face, and then shouted loudly, "Guys, do you want to take a rest?"
"No rest!" a group of old men and women shouted.
"Haha, your physical strength is really amazing. It's much better than those young people. Apart from being nosy, today's young people have no other abilities at all." The fat old lady looked at Lin Zhiming.
said.
The old men and women around the fat old lady all laughed.
"Let's go, guys, let's sing as we walk, I'll go first... You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you with all my heart..."
The fat old lady seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust Lin Zhiming. She looked at Lin Zhiming provocatively while singing loudly.
Lin Zhiming couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that this fat old lady was not only low-quality, but also extremely narrow-minded.
But he didn't bother to argue with the other party, after all, the two parties were not on the same level at all.
In the blink of an eye, these old men and women disappeared in front of Lin Zhiming, and some singing could still be faintly heard.
"Dad Lin, why do those grandparents litter?" Lin Wan'er asked in confusion.
"Not everyone has such things as morality and quality." Lin Zhiming said as he stood up and walked towards the plank road ahead.
When he came to the plank road, Lin Zhiming bent down and picked up the packaging shell on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er also trotted to Lin Zhiming's side to help pick up trash.
"Wan'er, you have to remember that a person can have no money, can live a poor life, or even be humble, but he must not lose his morality and quality." Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Yes!" Lin Wan'er nodded seriously.
At this moment, a man walked over from the side and helped Lin Zhiming and the others pick up trash.
Lin Zhiming glanced at the other party and found that it was the bearer who had been sitting and resting not far from them.
Seeing Lin Zhiming, the bearer smiled and nodded to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming also smiled and nodded to the other party.
Afterwards, the three people quickly put all the garbage on the ground into the trash can.
After picking up the trash, the three of them walked to the sink at the door of the public toilet to wash their hands.
"Brother, are you a sedan bearer?" Lin Zhiming asked while washing his hands.
"Well, yes." The man dressed as a bearer nodded.
Lin Zhiming smiled kindly at the other party, and then led Lin Wan'er back to Gu Feiyan and Yao Jing's side.
After a while, the bearer also walked up to Lin Zhiming and the others.
Lin Zhiming looked towards the bearers, and there were several bearers resting there.
Being a bearer is an interesting profession in Jiuxian Mountain. Many people are tired from climbing the mountain and cannot continue walking, so they hire bearers to carry them up the mountain.
Lin Zhiming took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, walked to the side of the bearer, took out two cigarettes from the cigarette box and handed them to the other person.
"Thank you, handsome man." The bearer smiled naively and took the cigarette from Lin Zhiming's hand.
Lin Zhiming handed cigarettes to several other bearers, and then sat down next to the previous bearer.
"What do you call brothers?" Lin Zhiming asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"My name is Wang Dazhuang." the other party replied.
"Haha, this name suits you, your tendons are really strong!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
The bearer named Wang Dazhuang scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I was too small when I was born. My family wanted me to grow stronger, so they called me Dazhuang."
"Has brother Da Zhuang been carrying the sedan here?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Well, I've been carrying it for many years." Wang Dazhuang nodded.
"Is it easy to make money?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"It's not bad. It's all hard-earned money. There aren't many people recently, and no one is sitting in the sedan chair." Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.
"How do you calculate the money?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Based on the mileage, it is eight kilometers from here to the next resting point. One kilometer costs 20 yuan, which is 160 yuan." Wang Dazhuang said.
"Only twenty yuan for one kilometer?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's too expensive and no one can take seats. Moreover, it's still the off-season recently. I haven't opened the store yet today. Oh, it's difficult." Wang Dazhuang shook his head.
Lin Zhiming smiled, chatted casually with Wang Dazhuang for a few words, then turned around and walked back to Gu Feiyan and Yao Jing.
"How about you two take a sedan? You can't leave anyway." Lin Zhiming said.
"Take a sedan chair?!" Both women glanced at the sedan bearer.
"Yes, it can be regarded as taking care of their business. We have been sitting here for so long and no one has opened." Lin Zhiming said.
"Isn't this a bit bad? In this day and age, will you be scolded if you ask someone to carry the sedan?" Yao Jing said with a frown.
"What's the point of being scolded? If you don't sit down, people will have no income. If you don't have income, you won't be able to eat, so you shouldn't be hungry?" Lin Zhiming said.
Hearing what Lin Zhiming said, Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan were both a little moved. After all, their feet were still weak.
"Okay, then let's sit for a while." Yao Jing thought for a moment and nodded.
Seeing Yao Jing nodding, Gu Feiyan also nodded.
Afterwards, Lin Zhiming walked back to Wang Dazhuang and briefly told Wang Dazhuang what he meant.
Seeing the business coming to his door, Wang Dazhuang stood up excitedly.
"Brothers, come to life and walk." Wang Dazhuang shouted.
"Let's go, let's go!" Several other bearers also stood up and carried the sedan in front of Gu Feiyan and Yao Jing.
Gu Feiyan and Yao Jing were still a little uncomfortable and hesitated for a while, but finally sat on the sedan.
Lin Zhiming also called Lin Waner a sedan. Lin Waner didn't have any psychological burden. In her opinion, this thing was like playing house. She sat on the sedan very excitedly.
As for Lin Zhiming, he also hired a sedan. That didn't mean that he couldn't leave, but Wang Dazhuang and his group had a total of four sedans, and none of them were open today, so Lin Zhiming simply let them all open.
The group all sat on the sedan chair and walked forward.
Because of the sedan, Yao Jing and Gu Feiyan felt much more relaxed. They each held their children and chatted while looking at the scenery. They looked extremely comfortable.
Lin Zhiming's sedan was at the very back, and the ones carrying it were Wang Dazhuang and his friends.
At this moment, the sedan's forward speed suddenly slowed down.
Lin Zhiming looked forward and found that the road ahead was blocked by someone, and the people blocking the road turned out to be the group of old men and women just now.
Several old men and women set up a formation in the middle of the road, holding silk scarves and other things in their hands and posing one after another. Two other old men stopped the people who were going forward. They had fought with Lin Zhiming before.
The fat old lady who spoke to me stood on the opposite side of the crowd, holding a mobile phone in one hand and directing everyone to pose with the other.
When they saw someone taking photos, the bearers stopped and planned to wait for those people to finish taking photos before passing by.
As a result, two minutes passed by waiting.
"Brother Da Zhuang, go up and take a look." Lin Zhiming frowned and said.
Wang Dazhuang nodded and carried the sedan to the front.
"Hey, Xiuying, please lean over there. Jianguo, please put on a richer expression on your face. Lixia, hold the scarf higher." The fat old lady was still directing the old men and ladies to pose.
"Can you let us go there first? This road does not belong to your family." Lin Zhiming frowned and said.
Hearing Lin Zhiming's voice, the fat old lady looked over.
When she saw Lin Zhiming on the sedan, she was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly with a mocking look, "Didn't this mean that we have no quality young man? I thought you were so qualified, how can you climb a mountain?"
Do you have to be carried by someone? Are you a relative of the emperor or something?"
