Chapter 127 The Road Encounters a Broken Temple (please subscribe for a monthly pass)
The wind only blew for a while, and it stopped after about ten minutes.

As if to blow the dark clouds over and overcast the sky, the sky suddenly darkened a lot.

Now that the wind had stopped, they certainly couldn't wait for the rain to come, turned the donkey cart around and drove to the official road to continue their journey.

At this time, the sound of conversation and the footsteps of many people walking were faintly heard from behind.

Qingyan looked back, um, she didn't see anything, her hearing is so good, she should still be several hundred meters away.

And this official road is not straight, some trees on the side of the road block the view, Qingyan guessed that it might be the villagers who met before, probably because of the bad weather, they did not continue to rest.

These people should have continued on the road not long after they passed by, otherwise it would be impossible to catch up so quickly. Even if her little donkey cart is not fast, it should be much faster than their walking.

Qingyan didn't care where those people were, anyway, she didn't intend to go with others, she just went to the official road and let the little donkey speed up.

While walking, continue to observe both sides of the road. In case you encounter some buildings, it is better to go in and hide.

Looking at the gloomy look of the day, the rain should be heavy, and a piece of plastic sheeting is probably not a big deal. Even if she gets into the car to shelter from the rain, the little donkey will also be drenched in the rain. If the rain is too heavy, Livestock can also get sick.

Qingyan originally thought that when the wind stopped and the sky became cloudy, there would be a heavy rain with lightning and thunder, but it turned out not to be.

The sky was overcast, and there was no thunder, lightning or heavy rain, just a few scattered raindrops. Although the raindrops were heavy, it did not affect the journey.

Qingyan sat in front, and the shed above was able to block it, so she didn't get drenched. After walking for a while, the rain stopped again.

Then I heard the sound of clattering from behind, and looked back curiously, my mouth grew bigger.

Whoa!Is it so amazing?

Not far behind them, it was like a rain curtain falling from the sky, and a cloud of smoke and dust was thrown up on the ground, and the rushing sound came from behind.

It seemed that she just passed the critical point of the rain. There was heavy rain not far behind them, but in front of them it was only cloudy and the ground was dry.

She heard from her mother before that sometimes the sky is cloudy and the rain is coming, but it is raining heavily on one side, and the other side is dry across a road, and sometimes across a river. There is an old saying near the river, which is: It doesn't rain across the river.

This is the first time she has seen such a scene, it is really amazing!

Seeing her looking back, Xue Minghua asked suspiciously, "Sister, what's going on?"

Qingyan withdrew her gaze and replied: "We are so lucky. Just as we walked over, it started to rain heavily behind us. It just so happens that there is no one on our side."

Xue Minghua also laughed when he heard the words: "This is really good luck, which shows that you are very lucky, girl, God bless you."

At this time, Huan'er and Fulai also woke up. Hearing their conversation, they crawled out rubbing their eyes, and stretched out their heads to look back.

Huan'er said softly, "Ah! Auntie is so powerful, she can run faster than Yu!"

Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, ah, this statement seems to be correct.She really ran faster than the rain, so she didn't get caught by the rain, haha!

He reached out and rubbed her little head, um, it was still oily.

He retracted his hand very naturally, and said with a proud face: "That's right, my aunt is amazing! You are all lucky people, and you will definitely get better and better in the future, isn't it Fulai? You can tell by your name, blessing There will be many more."

Fulai scratched his head in embarrassment at what she said, and smiled naively.

Although they were not hit by the rain, the sky here was still cloudy, and it might rain sometime, so they didn't dare to stay here, and continued to move forward at a faster speed.

After walking for more than three miles, she felt that the sky was getting darker and darker. Qingyan looked down at her watch. It was just 35:[-]. It is not normal for this time of summer to be so dark. It seems that heavy rain is coming here.

But at this time, I saw a small dusty temple on the side of the road.

This was not Qingyan's random guess, but it was identified based on the style of the building.

Residential buildings would not be built like this. Even in ancient times, the buildings of temples and ordinary houses are still different.

Turning to Xue Minghua, he said, "There is a small abandoned temple in front of us on the left, why don't we take a rest and eat something in it, and see if we can avoid the rain by the way."

Xue Minghua moved his body, nodded, "Just do as my sister said, if it rains heavily, we will wait a little longer, and we must not catch the cold in the rain."

The two children were playing with the little leopard who had just woken up. When they heard that there was a temple, they quickly poked their heads out again.

They followed their grandma to the temple in the city. Every [-]th day of the lunar new year, grandma would go to the temple to worship. Sometimes she would take the two of them there when she was in a good mood, but she never took them there again in the past two years. , but the impression is still there.

The two climbed out of the car, sat on the other side of the car shaft, and then saw the small temple that Qingyan mentioned.

Huan'er frowned and said, "This is too small, it's not at all the same as the temple we went to."

Fu Lai nodded agreeingly, "That's right, the temple in the city has a yellow roof and a red wall in front. Why is this temple all dusty?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Minghua said, "So this is an earth temple. The average earth temple is relatively small, and some of them don't know how to paint."

Qingyan shook her head, "It's not like the Earth Temple. The Earth Temple shouldn't be built so high."

Before going to Hancheng, I saw the earth temple on the side of the road. The temple was built very small, just a small room as tall as one person, and there were two statues of the land god and the land grandmother, both of which were burned outside. Can't go inside.

And this one is obviously different from that earth temple.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the temple, and Qingyan drove the donkey cart in. There should have been a wall around the temple in front of it, but it had collapsed, and it was only at the height of the calf, and one side was already connected to the foundation of the wall. It's all gone, it's been flattened.

Qingyan came down and led the donkey in from there. By the way, she looked at the marks on the ground. Although it was not new, it could be seen that vehicles should have entered here before. It seemed that someone had rested here like them.

I looked up to see how strong the eaves of the house were. Although there had been no incense here for a long time, the house was indeed not as dilapidated as the wall, and the materials used should be better.

At least there is no crack in the wall, and the wood on the eaves is still intact, and there is no danger of collapse.

So he drove the donkey cart to the side and let it lie under the eaves, so that if it rains heavily, it can block more than half of it.

Since we didn't spend the night here, and probably wouldn't be able to rest for a long time, we didn't unload the donkey from the cart.

Let Xue Minghua wait for a while, and Qingyan went into the temple to check the situation, and clean up if it is messy.

The two children couldn't wait any longer, and jumped out of the car with the little leopard in their arms, and followed her into the car one by one.

This temple is really small. There is only such a main hall. When I looked up, the roof was fine, and the purlins were all there, but there was something broken on the right side. There was a broken water tank on the ground, and only half of the bottom was left. It was put on a shelf with stones and connected there.

It should be that the people who rested here before made it possible to catch the rainwater from the roof.The inside is dry, but it can be seen that there should be water before, and there are traces left in a circle on it.

There are wooden stools on the left side, some hay and a few pieces of dry firewood. The fire should have been burned before in the middle, leaving a large black mark.

It can be seen that they did not stay here once or twice. It should be that many passers-by would come here to rest or stay overnight. It can be seen that the ancient people were also very civic-minded, and everyone who left helped clean up. Here, there is no garbage or the like left behind.

In fact, this is entirely Qingyan's self-righteous idea. The current characters are short of capital, and it is impossible to keep their own things here. Even if they do, the next wave of people will probably pick them up.

It's not like the later generations, some plastic bags and packing boxes, how could they leave garbage, at most they will leave you with a few pieces of poop, of course, no one will be so damaged, after all, this is a place to shelter from wind and rain, even if Going to the toilet will also run outside.

Qingyan swept the "bench" with hay on the ground, and after checking that there was nothing to clean up, she went out and helped Xue Minghua get off the car.

He directly helped her inside and let her sit on the wooden board.

Xue Minghua looked at the wooden board under his buttocks. It looked like the table case used for the table before. He looked around, but he didn't see the legs of the table, and he didn't know if it was burned or rotted. Alright, it was directly set up here as a stool.

Smiling, he said to Qingyan: "This is really an abandoned temple, and it should be the Dragon King that was built before.

There is little rain here, and there are many dragon king temples of this kind, but most of them are in places with dense villages, and few villagers go too far to worship the dragon king temple.

Every year when farming needs rain or when there is a severe drought, everyone will come to burn incense. It seems that there should be a village that moved here before, and the Buddha statue moved together. "

Qingyan was still thinking about it just now. In those ruined temples on TV, the Buddha statues and altars are usually still there. The ancients were superstitious, and most people would not dare to steal or damage the statues easily. A resting place.

Qingyan smiled and said: "I was still wondering just now, the rain has gone around us, it seems that the Dragon King is not here, and the rain has stopped visiting here."

Xue Minghua was also amused by her statement, "Hehe...it's true to hear you say that, sister.

Then let's take a rest here and have something to eat. If there is no rain and the sky can clear up, we will continue on the road. If it rains, we will wait here and leave when the rain subsides. "

Qingyan nodded, went out and brought in a gourd filled with water and a basket filled with egg pancakes. Before picking them up, she opened them and smelled them, lest the pancakes would be damaged if the weather was too hot.

Fortunately, the omelette was only spread at noon, so even if it broke, it couldn't be so fast. It wasn't even cold, but it was still a little warm. It seemed that there was no need to heat it up.

Just now when she saw the place where the fire was, she was thinking about making a fire too, thinking she was really stupid, people should light the fire when they slept here at night, or they didn't bring dry food to make something to eat.

They all have these ready-made, and the weather is so hot that lighting a fire is completely asking for trouble.

First put the basket aside, then put the water gourd on a stone aside, then went out to get the pottery bowl and the little leopard's milk gourd.

At this time, Fulai also came over with the little leopard in his arms. Since he picked it up, he didn't put the little leopard on the ground. He was afraid that it would run away by itself, so he kept holding it.

Although the little leopard played with them in the woods before and did not run away, this place is not a woods after all. If he ran out, the weeds in the wilderness outside were so deep that it would be hard to find.

When he came over, he said to Qingyan: "Auntie, what does the little leopard want to eat?"

Qingyan shook the gourd in her hand, "Hey, here is its ration, you can put it down, the little leopard is very obedient, and will not run around."

Huan'er sat down next to her mother, tilted her head and said to Qingyan: "Auntie, doesn't the little leopard have a name?"

Qingyan smiled and said: "Yes, its name is rich."

Xue Minghua: "..."

Chen Fulai: "..."

Chen Huaner: "..."

Looking at their expressions, Qingyan was a little puzzled, "What? Doesn't it sound good? Look at the pattern on its body, how suitable it is."

"Auntie, can I give it another name?"

"Huan'er, don't mess around, your aunt's name is pretty good, it's so catchy."

Huan'er let out an "oh" in disappointment.

Qingyan waved her hands and said with a smile: "Let Huan'er choose it. My name is rather useless, and Little Leopard probably doesn't like it either. It's just that I took the rich and noble children to attract wealth and treasures, so I just gave it back." A little reaction, so it's settled.

Thinking about it now, it's a bit unpleasant, so let Huan'er help the little leopard choose a nice name. "

Fulai also came over interested, "Then I'll help too, we help pick a name, and then Auntie decides which one to use, okay?"

Qingyan nodded, "Okay, then you guys help to get it, and I will pick the best-sounding one."

Fulai happily hugged the little leopard and sat next to his sister. The two murmured there and began to name them. They decided to pick a few nice ones first, and then let the aunt decide.

Qingyan smiled, lifted the cloth on the basket, took out the egg cake and handed it to Xue Minghua, then took out two more and said: "You two eat first, you can think of the name slowly, put the little leopard down, it will also Drinking milk."

He picked up the gourd and poured out a bowl, and put it by his feet.

Fulai put the little leopard by the bowl, took the egg pancake from Qingyan's hand, and said thank you, auntie.

Huan'er also took the cake and said thank you.

There were ten egg pancakes in the basket, Qingyan and Xue Minghua each ate three, and Fulai and Huan'er each ate two. They drank some water and were just full.

After eating, Qingyan sat for a while, and saw that the sky outside was getting heavier, so she went out and folded the quilt inside the car in the middle, so that even if it rained heavily, the sides would not get wet from the heavy rain.

Then she heard voices coming from far and near behind, she stood on the shaft of the car, poked her head out and looked back.

Then I found a group of people running towards this side, looking at the clothes and the carts and loads, it should be the villagers who caught up with them before. These villagers are quite fast, and they can catch up with them when they set off later. .
