Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

The hut is not big, less than ten feet wide and seven feet deep, about the same size as a kitchen in a commercial house.

The cold wind and snow whizzed and rattled the big clothes. Chen Chong was thinking about what this was, when he suddenly felt the person in his arms tremble.

A Ke shuddered, then curled up, and the hand that was holding the man's chest was a little tighter.

The robust Chen Chong didn't care to think about it, he hurriedly stomped his feet to shake off the snow on his body, and then pushed open the small door and squeezed in sideways.

"Woo-boom!"

As the wooden door was closed tightly, the howling of the cold wind that poured into the room stopped abruptly.

A Ke was awakened by the violent closing sound, and the girl asked in a daze, "Brother Chen, where are we?"

Chen Chong swept the torch away and saw a stone incense burner in the middle of the room, so he inserted the torch into it.

"I don't know. We are about fifty or sixty miles away. Anyway, it's not far from Kunming."

"Oh!"

The girl responded, then rubbed her eyes and left the man's embrace.

Looking around, she asked curiously: "Brother Chong, look here, why did you offer a stone?"

After speaking, he leaned over and squatted by the stone to study.

Chen Chong didn't raise his head, he still fetched hay from his portable space. After all, he had to sleep here tonight, so he wanted to be more comfortable.

After laying the straw, he walked up to A Ke, sniffed it on the stone, and said, "This should be a statue."

"God statue?"

The girl's tone was surprised, and her face was full of disbelief: "Aren't the god statues made of mud, gold, copper, and jade? Even if the god statue is made of stone, why should it be carved? How can you pick up a stone and draw a red mark on it to become a god statue?" statement?"

This Chen Chongzhen also knows: "It's like this. In many relatively primitive places, maybe the gods believed in are relatively old, or maybe they don't know how to make statues of gods, so they simply use stones instead.

Look at the red color on the stone, which is specially painted by them to distinguish it from other stones. This red color is not an ordinary thing, but a mixture of raw lacquer and cinnabar.

As long as it is not exposed to the wind and sun, it will not fade after being painted on for at least a hundred years. "

In his previous life, Chen Chong grew up in the mountains at the junction of Hunan and Hubei. There were many simple small temples in the mountains, and the offering was just a round stone.

Like the stones in front of me, a red mark was drawn on those stones, but I don't know what year and month it was.

The girl watched it for a while, but soon lost interest, so she stepped aside and watched Chen Chong busy.

The man pushed the stone and the incense burner to the corner, took some medicinal powder from the portable space, and sprinkled some around the haystack and in the grass, then shook off the bedding and laid the bedding.

The medicinal powder contains realgar, sulfur powder, and other medicinal materials that can kill insects. Sprinkling some can make you sleep more peacefully.

After Heli made the quilt, the two of them lost all strength and fell headfirst onto the bed.

In the past two nights, they were only busy being thieves, so it can be said that they didn't have a good night's sleep.

Chen Chong stared at the tiles on the roof, planning tomorrow's itinerary in his mind, a rustling sound came from his ears, and then he heard A Ke say: "Brother Chen, we have to hurry tomorrow, why don't we sleep?"

"Okay!"

Chen Chong had this intention, and immediately accepted it readily.

He turned his head to look at A Ke, and was about to ask if he should burn some hot water to scald his feet and wash his face, when he found that the girl had already got into bed.

Seeing A Ke showing half of his face and looking at him timidly, Chen Chong called him a good guy in his heart.

Girl, your hands and feet are quick enough!

He coughed dryly and said to himself, sister A Ke, that would be boring.

You got into the quilt without saying a word, so what should I do?

If you do it Qinggao and make a new bed, it will not only appear hypocritical, but also a bit unmanly.

If you just got into a quilt, it would be a little bit of taking advantage of others. After all, the little girl had just been driven away by her parents, so it seemed a bit beastly to do so.

To be a beast or to admit that you are not that person is a very serious question.

In his mind, the "beast" and "not a man" are at war, but unfortunately "not a man" stretches his hips too much, he can't even take three breaths, and he almost collapses at the touch of a finger.

Just as the beasts were collecting the corpses, A Ke called out, "Brother Chen, it's so cold tonight, why don't you come in?"

Ah this...

A light flashed in Chen Chong's eyes, he took off his coat almost instantly, and got under the quilt with a swish.

Seeing his speed so fast, A Ke couldn't help being stunned, and then blushed instantly.

The torches in the corner burned slowly, dyeing the hut in golden orange, which made people feel much warmer.

Just as he was thinking about saying something, he suddenly noticed that the quilt had moved, and immediately there was a small hand in his palm.

"Brother Chen, I'm a little cold."

The girl said timidly: "You touch my hand, it's frozen."

"Well, it's really cold, I'll help you warm up."

Chen Chong made a fuzzy sound, held his cold little hands in his palms, and rubbed them gently.

This hand is weak and boneless, tender and slender, and I don't want to have a hand like A Ke's life. I have to say that her foundation is really good.

While kneading and thinking wildly, Chen Chong subconsciously asked: "Sister, is it warmer?"

"Um!"

A Ke nodded lightly, then whispered, "But what should I do if I'm still cold!"

Ok? ? ?

With a buzzing sound in Chen Chong's mind, he mechanically turned his head and looked at the girl beside him, but his heart was beating wildly.

What does this mean?

He was a little unsure.

Certain words, spoken at unique times, places, and occasions, do create ambiguity and can cause great distress.

Besides, tonight...seems inappropriate, doesn't it?

He moved his body and hugged the girl into his arms: "Is it still cold?"
