Poor monk is awesome

Chapter 29
Wangjia Village is a small mountain village located at the foot of a barren mountain. There is a small river flowing beside the village. The population in the village is not large, only a few dozen households. have.

There is a dilapidated temple at the entrance of Wangjia Village, which enshrines a long-bearded and long-haired land lord. Because the village’s harvest has been poor in recent years, the villagers in the village rely on hunting and fishing to supplement their rations and barely make ends meet. , so the villagers in the village don't pay much attention to enshrining the land. In the words of the village chief: people can't eat enough, so they don't care about gods.

At this moment, in a corner of this dilapidated earth temple, there is a straw mat with a thick layer of weeds under it. On the straw mat lies a girl, a girl who looks like a fairy, but the girl is closed tightly at this moment. Her eyes and face were pale, her lips were trembling, there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, her long eyelashes were trembling constantly, a trace of strange cold air was wafting through her body, and her skin was radiantly cold.

Beside the girl, a girl wearing a washed-white dress full of patches is hugging a quilt. The girl squats down and covers the quilt for the girl lying on the straw mat. It was originally covered with a torn quilt, and with the addition of this bed, the straw mat was already covered thickly, but even so, it seemed that it could not bring any warmth to the girl on the straw mat. The girl was pale. His lips were still trembling.

After covering the girl on the straw mat with a quilt, the girl quickly got up and walked to the side. There was a stove that was burning. The girl picked up a towel from inside, wrung it dry, walked back to the straw mat and squatted down, carefully wiping the girl on the straw mat to sweat.

"Wang Mazi, do you want me to help?" Standing at the gate of the Earth Temple was a short, thin and wretched man who kept looking into the Earth Temple but dared not go in and shouted outside the temple.

"Get away, Zhou Dazhuang, if you dare to think of this girl again, I will stab you to death with these scissors." The girl who was wiping the sweat of the girl on the mat heard the words and copied it out from under the mat. A pair of scissors, turned around and pointed at the thin and wretched man at the entrance of the temple, and said with an angry look.

The girl's face was supposed to be pretty, but it shouldn't be full of large and small scars, making the whole face look a little scary. With this face, the girl's intimidation made the man named Zhou Dazhuang tremble. Can't help but take two steps back and shouted.

"You damn pockmark, I'm kind enough to help you, but you still pointed at me with scissors, and you don't even think about who brought the doctor in the town for you back then. You really don't know what's good and what's wrong. You deserve your whole family to die, and you deserve to be full Pockmarked face!" The man took a few steps back and began to curse.

"I'll kill you!" Hearing Zhou Dazhuang's harsh words, the girl rushed over angrily, trying to stab him with scissors, so frightened that Zhou Dazhuang turned around and ran, screaming as she ran.

"Killed! Wang Mazi killed!"

The girl just chased out of the temple entrance and then stopped. Looking at Zhou Dazhuang who had disappeared after a while, the anger on the girl's face had long since disappeared. She turned around and returned to the temple to continue to take care of the girl on the straw mat. .

She should have gotten used to these bad words by now.

Her name is Wang Meili, and her parents hope that she will be beautiful all her life, and she is indeed very beautiful, and her parents love her very much.

However, fate liked to play tricks on her. Smallpox swept through her village one winter. Almost everyone in the village died. Her parents took her as a little girl and fled hundreds of miles to the Wang family. village.But within a few days after arriving, her parents also showed symptoms of smallpox, and then little Meili. It turned out that they could not escape smallpox after all. When the people in the village found out, they were horrified and drove their family out of the village that day. .

On the night when she was driven out of the village, the first snow of the year fell in the sky. Wang Meili's parents died of illness in front of her. , The snow fell more and more that night, like a goose feather.

No one knows how Wang Meili survived. On such a cold and heavy snow day, a little girl was infected with smallpox. People in the village only knew that the little girl who had been kicked out came to Wangjia Village. The delicate and lovely face is full of scars left by the smallpox recovery. The girl can sing, and the singing is very beautiful. Every day, she kneels at the door of the villagers' house and sings, and she will give her a bite of food when she encounters kind people.The village head looked at her pitifully, so he kept her, and the people in the village gradually accepted her, and she gradually earned a little food by learning how to sew and mend and occasionally singing at the village annual meeting. , Barely survived till now.

The children in the village often called her Wang Mazi and ugly when they saw the scars on her face. The adults also laughed and pointed at her from time to time. He also became an ominous person who restrained his father and mother, so he could only hide in the earth temple at the entrance of the village.

Wang Meili wiped off the girl's sweat, stood up and washed the towel, then picked up a piece of earthen cloth with each hand and took down the earthen jar from the stove, then put down the earthen cloth, and took two more from the altar of the statue of the earth. Only the clean porcelain bowl was washed, then a cloth was wrapped around the hot earthenware pot with one hand, the other hand opened the lid, and the porridge in the earthenware pot was poured into two bowls.

The porridge is very thin, and the porridge inside can be counted at a glance. After Wang Meili filled one bowl with the porridge, there was not much porridge left in the crock, and there was only half of it in the other bowl. There were no bowls.

Wang Meili carefully picked up the full bowl of porridge, took a spoon, walked to the straw mat, and started to feed the girl the porridge with the spoon, while blowing on the porridge to cool it down.

When Wang Meili was about halfway through feeding the porridge, she heard movement at the entrance of the temple behind her. She thought it was Zhou Dazhuang who had come again, so she quickly put down the porridge bowl, picked up the scissors, and turned to face the entrance of the temple and shouted.

"Zhou Dazhuang, you still dare to come, believe me or not..."

Wang Meili stopped abruptly in the middle of her words.

At this moment, standing at the entrance of the Earth Temple is a handsome young man wearing a sapphire crown, a purple robe, and gold-embellished boots, holding a purple-haired rabbit in his arms. Behind him is a fawning king. Qing and Sun Dahe.

Wang Meili opened her mouth slightly, staring at the boy in a daze.

"Oh, girl Wang! You're going to be lucky this time." Wang Qing saw Wang Meili was in a daze, and quickly shouted to her, "Do you know who you saved? It was this young master who you saved. My daughter! My son wants to repay you, and you will become prosperous!"

Wang Qing's face was happy, but Wang Meili's face was still blank, until the handsome young man yelled at her in surprise.

"Little daughter-in-law!"

Only then did Wang Meili come to her senses, her face flushed slightly, her eyes dodged.

She knew that the boy was not calling her, but the girl lying on the straw mat behind her.

But her heart stopped beating involuntarily. .
