The kind-hearted farmer gave them directions: "Enter the village, then at the end of it, turn onto a mountain road. Walk for about two hours, and you will see a large lake with a suspension bridge. Crossing the bridge, you will reach Hu Yun Temple."
He added: "The mountain road is narrow, not passable by mule cart. You'll need to walk there. The cart can be stored under the village's large pine tree. Either provide some fodder or five cents is enough. Rest assured, someone from the village will look after it for you. People often come here to seek treatment from the temple master, and they leave their carts in the village, none has ever been lost."
Gu Jinli paused, so the master of Hu Yun Temple could also treat illnesses.
She took two bean dregs cakes from the basket, lifted the green fabric of the cart curtain, and handed them to the farmer: "Uncle, thank you so much. This is our hometown specialty, please have a taste."
