Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 264 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (54)

In fact, Wen Rushi is a little angry now, because the two of them have been together day and night these days, and she has already regarded Jiang Qiuchen as a very important friend in her heart.

But she has always concealed this from me. Does she think she is not trustworthy?
At first, Jiang Qiuchen was still thinking about what lie he could tell to cover up the matter.

But once she told a lie, she would have to use more lies to disguise and cover it up. She didn't want to waste so much time and energy on this matter.

And this matter is not that simple. If she tells the truth, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing Yao Hua's existence? Then she is not the only one involved.

After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Qiuchen did not intend to give any explanation for this matter.

"Why bother with this? As long as I have the ability to cure diseases and save lives, and I use it well, that's enough, right?"

"Everyone has secrets. Sometimes, we don't tell them because of considerations from all sides. It's most convenient not to tell them."

"Are you right? Rushi?"

Jiang Qiuchen looked into her eyes seriously, his eyes were full of sincerity, as if he had thought of something. Wen Rushi looked away in panic.

Yes, everyone has secrets, and she has some to hide too.

After escaping for so long, she almost forgot about those things.

At this point, everything was very clear, and Wen Rushi wisely chose not to ask any further questions.

Jiang Qiuchen was satisfied with her reaction. Although they were friends, they also had their own corner and didn't need to know everything.

For the following period of time, the two continued to travel together from village to village, and their days were both hard and fulfilling.

However, since their activities were far away from the urban area and the inconvenient transportation led to lack of information, their good names were only spread by word of mouth in the countryside.

If it wants to be transmitted into Lingzhou City, it will take some time to settle.

Everything was going in the right direction, but one day after the free clinic, there was a strong wind on the way home and it started to rain heavily in the blink of an eye.

The weather was bad and it was obviously impossible to continue moving forward. Fortunately, there was always a way out. There was a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for a long time that could barely provide some shelter from the wind and rain, so they were not left without anywhere to hide.

"The weather is so changeable. When I went out in the morning, the sky was clear, but in the middle of the day, not to mention the sun, there was not even a blue sky to be seen."

"It was raining so hard that the trees beside the road were blown all over the place. We two little guys couldn't even walk. We could be blown two miles away just standing there."

Jiang Qiuchen pushed open the half-open door of the dilapidated temple first, and while brushing the water droplets off his body, he muttered to himself and complained.

Wen Rushi was not much better off than her. Most of his clothes were wet. Fortunately, the medicine box was held tightly in his arms, and the medicinal herbs inside were still intact and not badly wet.

"Cough cough cough-"

The dilapidated temple was very dusty and had a damp and musty smell that made people's throats itchy and they couldn't help coughing.

After finally breathing smoothly, Jiang Qiuchen finally paid some attention to observe the surrounding environment.

The statues in the temple have long lost their former majesty and luster, their faces are blurred, and their bodies are covered with dust and cobwebs from the years.

His eyes were empty and deep, making people dare not look directly at him.

The colors of the murals on the walls have faded, leaving only blurred outlines and mottled traces, through which one can vaguely make out the patterns and stories that once existed.

Some murals even have cracks and peeling, like scars of time, witnessing the rise and fall of this temple.

The wooden beams and pillars in the temple are rotten, and some have broken and collapsed, forming a ruin. Among these ruins, you can occasionally see some remaining offerings and incense burners, lying there quietly, as if waiting for the return of some unknown person.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and weeds, with some places still growing tenacious grass and wild flowers.

These tenacious plants form a sharp contrast with the surrounding ruins, bringing a touch of vitality to this dilapidated temple.

But looking at these crooked wreckages, Jiang Qiuchen had a bad feeling.

The rain was coming in force and was set to get worse. If the small temple couldn't withstand the rain and collapsed with a loud bang, she and Wen Rushi would really have no time to escape.

But if I didn't stay here to avoid the rain, it would be white outside and there would be nowhere to go. I was really in a dilemma.

"This happened suddenly. Although I didn't want to, there was nothing I could do."

"Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while, and eat some dry food you brought with you."

"If it's not too late when the rain stops, we'll hurry back to the city. If it's too late, we'll just stay here for the night."

Wen Rushi saw Jiang Qiuchen's helplessness and comforted him softly.

Fortunately, she was not alone at the moment, otherwise she would have no one to talk to. Jiang Qiuchen was glad in her heart.

Jiang Qiuchen took out a crispy baked sesame cake, found a relatively clean place to sit down, broke off half of the cake, and handed it to Wen Rushi sitting opposite him.

"Here, take a bite first. I was planning to buy a roast duck after returning to the city, but it looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"The roast duck place on the corner? Their sauce is really good."

Wen Rushi naturally took the sesame cake and sat opposite Jiang Qiuchen.

The two people were eating attentively. The sound of thunder and rain rumbled outside the ruined temple, and the narrow wall separated them into two worlds.

After filling his stomach, Jiang Qiuchen felt sleepy and his eyelids began to droop.

I stood up and walked out to take a look. Seeing that the rain still showed no sign of stopping, I turned back, yawning.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll take a nap first."

After giving these instructions, Jiang Qiuchen leaned against the pillar and dozed off.

After Wen Rushi finished the pancake in a few bites, he found a corner nearby to rest. The temple suddenly returned to its original quietness.

But this silence did not last long. Under the constant washing of rain, the already shaky walls became even more fragile.

In the silent air, a few crisp creaking sounds were heard occasionally, and the two columns connected at the top also shook slightly.

Wen Rushi slept more lightly and vaguely heard some strange noises.

At first she thought it was her illusion, but just as she was about to continue resting, the noise became more and more obvious.

Something is wrong!
She snapped her eyes open, trying to find where the problem was.

At this moment, the pillar above Jiang Qiuchen's head shook violently. She opened her eyes in panic, but before she could react, the roof hit her in the face.

"careful!"

Wen Rushi didn't have time to think too much. He leaned over and rushed over, pushing Jiang Qiuchen away.
