One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 111
People in the village are very curious about the identities of several children. It is not common for three children to roam outside these days.

Yan Qingzhi was worried about being suspected, and the little girl was still injured, so it would be impossible not to disclose any information.

The person who asked the question in the village only told about himself and Yan Qingzhu. When he talked about the little girl, he said that she picked it up on the road two days ago. She was ill at that time and could not tell where she used to live, so she waited for a long time. They didn't see anyone looking for them either, but they had no choice but to keep them. It was a human life after all.

Nowadays, there are too many foreigners who have migrated here. The villagers have all heard of the children who were lost on the road or were left on the road if they couldn’t survive. Although it was the first time they saw it, they didn’t feel any surprise.

Moreover, the clothes Yan Qingzhi and Yan Qingzhu look like they don't look like poor people. Besides, there is no kidnapper in this world who will see a doctor for a child. It doesn't cost money to see a doctor!

Yan Qingzhi didn't dare to reveal her wealth. Even if she needed a lot of things, she didn't dare to go out and buy it. She just huddled in the village doctor's house and watched the village doctor's wife take care of the little girl.It was the injection of medicine and the physical cooling. It was only in the evening that the little girl's fever finally subsided.

But she didn't wake up, and she muttered about her sleep in the middle of the night. The village doctor was worried about the recurrence of the situation, so she and Yan Qingzhi took turns to take care of it all night, and didn't wake up until the next morning.

In just two days, Yan Qingzhi had lost weight.

Children's illnesses come and go quickly. After the little girl woke up, it didn't take a few hours, and she was already much fresher.

However, even so, the three stayed here for another day before leaving.

When leaving, Yan Qingzhi bought some dry food and herbs at the village doctor's house.

The little girl's body has a relatively large deficit, which is not as good as her original body. Yan Qingzhi understands that feeling. In addition to preparing some more preventive medicines, she also prepares in advance for situations that may need to be dealt with along the way.

The village doctors here are good, and the herbal medicines are also very cheap. After two days of raising the little girl, she became much more energetic, and it only cost more than 300 Wen, including food and lodging.

When it was time to set off again, the little girl seemed to be a little more obedient.

Yan Qingzhi felt a little distressed about this child. After all, when he was ten years old, he had to plan for himself like an adult, but this is the way the world is now. I just hope that the three of them can have a stable future in the future.

Back on the right track, the speed of the journey gradually picked up, four days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye it was another rainy season.

The torrential rain came swiftly, from thunder to downpour in just an instant.

The gust of wind blew, and raindrops the size of beans fell on people's bodies, soaking them in the breath.

Even if Yan Qingzhi had been prepared, it was still half an hour short.

She wiped the rain off her face and waved to push the people around her.

"In the same month, you go in first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the black donkey out of the mud pit that was stuck at the gate of the ruined temple.

Yan Qingzhu's strength is not small, the dry food and fodder on the black donkey has been carried into it by him, only the tent in the sack is still thrown there.

Jun Tongyue didn't answer, he gritted his teeth, picked up the heavy sack, and dragged it in the direction of the broken temple.

Fortunately, Yan Qingzhu ran out as soon as he put down his things, lifted the tent, and rushed into the ruined temple in a few steps.

Jun Tongyue looked back at Yan Qingzhi and saw that the other party had pulled out the black donkey, so he turned his head and ran in behind Yan Qingzhu.

This ruined temple looks quite big, but it seems to have been desolate for a long time, and the statues enshrined on it can no longer be seen.

The offering table was even more dirty and crooked to one side. A censer that had been smashed in half fell to the ground, and the incense ashes didn't know where it went.

The tiles on the roof are sparse, and rain is still leaking in some places.

But I don't know if there are people around here who have settled here, or if people who have passed by have prepared more dry wood, and now there is a large pile of wood in the corner of the ruined temple.

Yan Qingzhi habitually checked the environment where she was staying.

She didn't let Yan Qingzhu move the things around her rashly, but went to the back hall by herself, wanting to see if there was any danger behind.

The thick dusty door curtain was lifted by Yan Qingzhi, and was immediately wetted by the rain outside.

Half of the back hall had collapsed, and the solid adobe was blocking the road. It was obviously impossible to get through. She stood on tiptoe and looked behind her, only to see a few sparse weeds.

Yan Qingzhi put down the curtain and went around to the other side, trying to see the situation in the back hall from the other side, but she just walked to the door on the other side, when a voice suddenly came from her side.

"No need to go, there is nothing behind!"

Yan Qingzhi might as well, was taken aback immediately, and subconsciously landed on the long knife behind him.

Now that there is Jun Tongyue, things in space are not easy to expose. In order to avoid trouble, she has been tying the long knife behind her back.

Seeing her act like this, that person was incredible, "Huh? ' a sound.

The wind and rain outside blocked the sun, and the light in the ruined temple was dim. Yan Qingzhi had to distinguish carefully to find the person's location.

After seeing it clearly, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand in an instant.

Right next to the statue, an old man was sitting cross-legged. The distance between the two was only a few steps. If the other party hadn't spoken, she would not have noticed it before.

The old man's silver hair was not thick, the hairline moved up slightly, combed into a neat bun, the eyebrows were a little sparse, and the long white beard was disheveled to the chest.

He was wearing a silver-gray double-breasted robe, and the drapey texture was not cheap at first glance. He wore a slightly lighter half-sleeve blouse on the outside, and the cuffs and trousers were tied with leggings.

Around his waist was a brown leather belt engraved with a beast pattern, and on one side of the belt was a roll of rope that was not too thick.

But what attracted Yan Qingzhi's attention was a wooden box about three feet behind the old man.

The box was tightly wrapped with white muslin cloth, and could only be seen to be a foot wide, but it could not be seen what it really looked like.

The old man's eyes are sharp and hidden, and when he looks at others, he always has a sense of insight into the world.

Like a mountain standing in the world, it is thick but still alive, and has a kind of alienation that is independent of the world.

This is the person with the most special temperament among the people Yan Qingzhi has ever met, not only that kind of immortal style, but also because this person is also the one with the strongest sense of danger in her life!
It was obvious that the other party didn't radiate any evil thoughts or killing intent to her, but she just instinctively felt the fear, and she couldn't even raise the idea of ​​resistance.

Just as Yan Qingzhi looked at the old man, the other party was also looking at her.

With just one glance, he saw through Yan Qingzhi's clumsy disguise.

"Is it a little girl?"
