Chapter 807
forever..."
The next morning, Su Xinghui borrowed a car from Xu Xiaoguang and drove Lu Xiaoya to the foot of the hill on the other side of Zhong Ming Lake.
After getting out of the car, Su Xinghui pointed to this small hill and said, "This hill is called Xiaonanshan. When we were children, we came here for spring outings. There is a Treasure Bell Temple on the hill, and there is also a Yuegong Pavilion. Legend has it that Yue Fei fought a battle here."
Lu Xiaoya looked at this hill. The hill was not high, but there were green pines and cypresses on the hill, which had a solemn and majestic atmosphere. A stone path led to the top of the hill. Today was Sunday, and it was a good day, so quite a few people were playing on the stone path up the hill.
Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya climbed the steps. They didn't walk far before the stone path took a turn along the terrain. As soon as the two turned, they saw a pavilion nestled among the green trees, located halfway up the hill. On a plaque above it were written three large characters: Yuegong Pavilion.
This pavilion also had flying eaves and painted beams. Several people were sitting in the pavilion. Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, this is Yuegong Pavilion. Every time we had a spring outing when we were children, we came here to play. Do you want to go in and see?"
Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Alright!"
The two entered the pavilion. With the pavilion providing shade, a cool breeze immediately felt refreshing. Although it was already early October, the weather in this area of the middle reaches of the Changjiang River was still quite hot. The two had climbed so far, and they were a bit hot. This pavilion halfway up the hill was just right to provide a place for mountaineers to rest, and it was quite ingenious in design.
Lu Xiaoya leaned on the railing and looked down the hill. Below the hill was Zhong Ming Lake. A cool lake breeze blew, and Lu Xiaoya felt extremely comfortable. She laughed, "Your teachers when you were children knew how to choose a place. Coming here for a spring outing must have been extremely comfortable."
Su Xinghui laughed, "At that time, every year's spring outing was our happiest time. We flew kites in the open space at the foot of the hill, rested in the pavilion, and played hide-and-seek in the Treasure Bell Temple at the top of the hill. It was so interesting."
Lu Xiaoya said, "I also think this place is very interesting."
The two were talking when Su Xinghui suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Let's go to Yuegong Pavilion to rest for a while."
Su Xinghui looked back and saw that it was actually the three Sun siblings who had come. Along with them was a man about thirty years old with a puffed-out chest and a protruding belly. They were walking toward Yuegong Pavilion.
As soon as Su Xinghui turned his head, the three Sun siblings naturally saw him too. Sun Xuelan called out "Brother Su," and Sun Xuefei seemed to have the intention of hiding, but since Sun Xuelan had already called out, she had no choice but to hide. She also called out "Su Xinghui."
Sun Xuefei had looked for Su Xinghui at his workplace several times, including when he later went to the Pengjiawan Town government. However, Su Xinghui often went to the villages and often went to the embankments. Even at the town government, he was lukewarm to Sun Xuefei, so Sun Xuefei never went again.
Lu Xiaoya also turned her head. She also saw the three Sun siblings and naturally recognized that Sun Xuelan was the little girl they had met the night before last. She couldn't help but watch with interest.
Others were greeting Su Xinghui, so Su Xinghui naturally couldn't be rude. He nodded and smiled, "Are you here for an autumn outing?"
The man with them held a car key in his hand and said, "I am Xuefei's boyfriend. My name is Yuan Kang. Isn't today a day off? The weather is also good, so I brought these siblings out to climb the hill. Who are you?"
Su Xinghui said, "My name is Su Xinghui. I am their friend. I am here to climb the hill with my girlfriend."
Yuan Kang said carelessly, "You are their friend, then that's fine. Let's eat together when we go down the hill at noon. My treat!"
Su Xinghui smiled, "Thanks, but there's no need for dinner. You guys have fun, you guys have fun. We are going up the hill to see the Treasure Bell Temple."
Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya prepared to leave the pavilion. Yuan Kang sank his face and said, "What's this? Are you not giving me, Yuan Kang, face?"
Su Xinghui didn't have any good feelings or bad feelings for this person, but after hearing this, he felt disgusted. Why are there so many self-righteous people in this world?
He glanced at Yuan Kang, ignored him, and pulled Lu Xiaoya's hand to walk out of the pavilion.
Yuan Kang prepared to reach out and grab Su Xinghui's shoulder. Sun Xuefei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying, "Yuan Kang, forget it! Don't force others."
