Early in the morning.
"Wang Longhu! Wang Longhu, are you ho?"
Outside the courtyard, Zheng Dongliang and a group of friends shouted toward the house, but after a long ti, there was still no response.
Li Yao couldn’t help but ask, "Is he not ho?"
"Impossible, you see the door isn’t locked. How could soone go out without locking the door?" Zheng Dongliang looked puzzled.
At this mont, a dripping wet Wang Longhu erged from the backyard, and upon seeing this group of wealthy second-generation standing outside the door, he was a bit startled.
"Is there sothing you need?"
"We’ve been calling you for a while, but you didn’t answer. This is our first ti in Dong County, and we plan to have a good ti at the local attractions. We thought of finding a local to guide us. Why not co and hang out with us?" Zheng Dongliang smiled.
Wang Longhu waved his hand quickly, "No, I have things to do. You guys go ahead. The attractions in Dong County aren’t complicated; even outsiders can figure them out."
Wasting ti with this group of wealthy kids wasn’t sothing Wang Longhu wanted. Nowadays, he found a more suitable environnt for martial arts training, and he was deeply fascinated by the feeling of holding his breath underwater while practicing the three-body pose.
When you’re interested in sothing, hardship is no longer hardship but a form of enjoynt. Wang Longhu was currently enjoying the beauty of it.
"Are you live streaming? I’ll just tip you, fulfill your daily KPI, and you co hang out with us. Then we can have lunch together." Zheng Dongliang was sowhat unwilling to give up and persistently asked.
Wang Longhu, having worked in society for a few years, quickly understood what Zheng Dongliang ant.
Probably after the incident at Banping Mountain Residence, this rich kid was not very confident about his safety, even though the police caught those four strong n.
But who could guarantee that there were no others secretly planning to kidnap Zheng Dongliang? After witnessing Wang Longhu’s skills, he wanted to invite him along for peace of mind so that there would be soone to rely on if trouble arose.
"Twenty thousand." Wang Longhu held up two fingers. Although he only said two words, the aning was very clear.
"Okay, let’s go then." Zheng Dongliang agreed without a second thought.
For these rich kids who could afford to drive an RS6, twenty thousand was just pocket change. Normally, they might spend more than that gifting a bag or clubbing for a girl they were interested in.
Hiring soone like Wang Longhu, a Ming Jin expert, for twenty thousand could be considered a very cost-effective deal.
"I’ll take a shower and change clothes, wait for a bit." Wang Longhu nodded and went back into the house.
When he reappeared, he was already clad in a full set of 90-pound weighted gear, making the expressions of those around grow tense.
Zheng Dongliang found it hard to believe, "You’re going to wear that and hang out with us?"
"Just treating it like exercise." Wang Longhu lightly waved his arm, looking calm and composed.
His stance really won the admiration of everyone present. They all knew how heavy Wang Longhu’s gear was.
Not to ntion carrying it around, even lifting it for one minute made them feel like their arms would break off. Wang Longhu was truly a tough guy.
Sitting once again in Zheng Dongliang’s RS6, the group enthusiastically drove down the mountain road and, under Wang Longhu’s guidance, took the ring island highway to the nearest scenic spot—Xiandieyan.
Xiandieyan is a well-known attraction in Dong County, located on the seaside cliffs. In recent years, it has been renovated with funds from the local governnt and has now beco a must-visit spot in Dong County.
As for Wang Longhu, a local, he had only been there once on a school-organized spring outing in elentary school.
It was his first visit to Xiandieyan as an adult today, so he was a bit curious.
After paying for the tickets, Wang Longhu led Zheng Dongliang and the group into the scenic area. He had to admit, seeing these wealthy second-generation leisurely touring the scenic spots was unexpected for him.
He was naturally a lazy person and disliked traveling the most in his life, especially seeing the mass of heads.
"The scenery on your island is really nice." Li Yao, wearing a sun hat, a pair of GUCCI sunglasses that covered half her face, and a sun-proof jacket, was well-prepared for the sun.
If it weren’t for coming with her, Wang Longhu might not have recognized her on the road.
"Of course, Dong County, without economy or population, its only advantage remaining is the scenery." Wang Longhu replied calmly, hands in pockets, leading the way.
"It’s a nice place to retire. Wang Longhu, what’s that temple for? There are so many people." Zheng Dongliang pointed to a temple in the direction to the right of the scenic area entrance and asked.
Xiandieyan is located on a cliff with only a seacliff plank road to proceed, and the temple stood at the edge of the entrance by the sea, a risky architecture.
"It seems to be so Guanyin Temple, it’s been there for years and was renovated." Wang Longhu explained rather chanically.
Compared to his plain mood, Zheng Dongliang’s group seed like kids released from confinent after years, overjoyed. Upon hearing it was a Guanyin Temple, these people from Min Province all burst into the Min dialect, ran over there excitedly, all wanting to offer incense and seek blessings from Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Watching them, Wang Longhu could only sigh in his heart. Man overcos nature; if real trouble arises, one still has to rely on oneself. Worshiping Buddhas or Bodhisattvas was just for psychological comfort.
He realized this a long ti ago after receiving the hospital’s diagnosis, but since this group of rich kids wanted to take a look, naturally, he couldn’t stop them, so he followed slowly at the end.
Surrounded by rocks, the entrance to the Guanyin Temple was narrow, stepping on stone steps led to a flat stone platform, with a turtle-shaped boulder on the left of the platform, bearing a larger stone on its back.
Opposite the turtle boulder stood the small Guanyin Temple, with a massive toad-shaped rock beside it.
These two boulders have historical tales, it is said that after Bodhisattva Guanyin attained enlightennt, following Buddha’s guidance, she traveled north from the South Sea to Dong County to select a pure land for teaching the Dharma.
Initially, on the cliff, a giant turtle listened intently, fascinated by it, unaware of the passage of ti, eventually turning into a stone.
The toad-shaped boulder also had a special tale.
Countless years ago, a toad-spirit wished to beco immortal, and when Bodhisattva Guanyin ca, it begged her to take it to heaven for immortality.
However, Bodhisattva had to leave Dong County; seeing the toad asleep, she told it to follow later but the toad, being lazy, continued sleeping, asking Bodhisattva to proceed without it.
After Bodhisattva left, by the ti the toad awoke, she was gone. Regretting deeply, the toad-spirit has since waited there for Bodhisattva’s return, a wait that continues endlessly.
