demon rampage

I took the cloth pouch on the table, opened it and counted it. There were bank notes and some broken silver, and there were indeed 100 taels, which was convenient and saved me from raising money again.

After packing up my things, I checked out of the room. Actually, there was nothing to pack, just a purse.

I bought three meat buns from the little brother who shouted loudly outside to sell buns.There are many other food stalls around, but I saw that this guy was the one who yelled the loudest, and I was with him anyway, so I took care of his business.

"Guest officer, come again next time." The boy who sold the buns smiled and handed the buns to me.

"Okay." I returned, but there may not be a next time.

When I was about to leave, I suddenly saw a small hand stretched out from under the table where the buns were placed. The purpose was very clear, it was the buns on the case.

The little brother also noticed this situation, he picked up a stick on the side and hit the dirty little hand vigorously, a gray figure came out from under the case, it was a child, he didn't look to eight years old.

"Let you steal my steamed stuffed bun! Get lost! Next time I find out, I will send you to the yamen!"

The boy selling buns scolded the little beggar with a serious face.

The little beggar also stared back at the little brother, his eyes still swept over the bun, then turned and ran away.

Seeing that I hadn't left yet, the little brother changed into a grinning expression again: "I made the guest laugh. This little beggar is a habitual thief. A few days ago, he even stole a bowl of tofu from the tofu seller next to him. Later, he was caught and beaten." After a meal, I didn’t expect him to dare to steal something, it’s really healed, and the scar has forgotten the pain.”

I looked in the direction the little beggar left and bought three more buns.

This place is called Laohutun, which is a place with hundreds of households. It is located in the northwest of Liang'an City, not very far away.

I asked passers-by about the place where the beggar might be staying, which is called Longshui Temple.Longshui Temple used to be dedicated to the Dragon King. People prayed for good weather and good harvests. Then, somehow, six years ago, the land was dry for three consecutive years. What was planted died, and there was no harvest. The people had to move in order to survive.

Three years later, the land suddenly healed again, and people who heard the news moved back one after another, but since then, no one went to Longshui Temple to pray, and the land still had a good harvest, so it was even more difficult. No one wanted to go, and some even said: "The one enshrined in this Longshui Temple is probably a fake Dragon King."

I finally found Longshui Temple according to the tips given to me by that person. I saw a small temple less than nine square meters. A few big holes are almost the same as dilapidated houses.

I stepped into this dilapidated Longshui Temple, looked around, and finally saw the child.

He also found me, I saw him tense all over, staring at me like a torch - the bun in my hand, I laughed, then walked over and handed the bun to him.

"Here, I treat you to eat." I said.

He raised his head and glanced at me, then looked at the buns in my hand, hesitated for a long time, I thought he was going to accept it, but he knocked the buns out of my hand, and the three buns rolled on the ground After a few laps, a layer of gray coat was smoothly put on.

"Why not eat?" I was puzzled.

He snorted coldly, turned his face to the other side, and didn't answer.

"Then I'm leaving, goodbye." He didn't want to eat, and I didn't force it.

I left Longshui Temple with my two remaining buns.

There is a distance of more than 100 meters between Longshui Temple and the village. There is a river running through it, and there is a bridge to go back and forth.

There was no one on the bridge when I came, but when I went back, I saw a person standing on the bridge. He stood quietly on the bridge, looking at the water flow under the bridge, thinking.

"...Liangshang's cry is dawning, and the front of the hall is shining brightly. If anyone comes back, he will share the red robe with his son...."

When I passed by that person, I heard him singing something in a low voice, his voice mixed with sobs.

"Brother, what's bothering you?"

The ancients said: A man does not flick his tears lightly, but he does not reach the point of sadness.I don't know what he went through, to be able to cry silently here alone, without even noticing someone passing by.

As soon as he heard someone talking, he quickly raised his hand and wiped his face, then turned his head to look at me, and forced a smile, it's so ugly.

"I am originally from Hushan County, and I came all the way to the capital to recommend myself. I never thought that my invitation would be stolen by a villain, and that person would be favored by the emperor. How can I go back and explain to Wan'er, I might as well jump from here Go down and forget it." After speaking, he really planned to jump into the river.

I quickly stopped him: "Don't jump, I can't swim."

He let go of his hand, sat on the bridge and cried loudly, his voice sounded as ugly as a chicken crowing, and it was particularly rhythmic.

"Isn't it just that Gan Ye was stolen? You can just write another one." I sat next to him, eating the leftover buns, and passed one to him by the way, "Eat one, I heard that eating can be good." distraction."

He took the bun in my hand, and as if he was going to kill the person who stole his meat, he took a bite and chewed hard.

"Do you believe in fate?" He looked at the distance in a daze.

"I...don't know." I shook my head.

How can such a thing as fate be called faith?How is it called unbelief?What about letters?If you don't believe me, so what?

"Okay, well, I don't know. Fate sometimes has to be there, and there is no time to force it. I should have understood that if it weren't for you, I would really jump from here today."

I don't know what he understood, I saw him take out a jade flute from his arms, put it on his mouth, a song of lovesickness went straight to the sky, I was a little fascinated listening to it, Mu Ran found that this song is very I'm familiar with it, but I can't remember where I heard it, maybe it was in a dream, or it was just an illusion.

At the end of the song, he stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, and disappeared from my sight like this. I rubbed my eyes and opened them again. There was no sign of someone there, I was afraid I saw a ghost.

I was a little flustered, so I hurried back to the town and saw the big living people walking up and down the street, so I felt a little relieved.

I found a place where I could rent a carriage. I thought I would leave Laohutun today and continue to look for my family in the north, but unexpectedly, it rained, and the rain came too suddenly, urgently and violently.

"Little brother, I think we should wait for the rain to stop tomorrow before we leave. Horses can't see the road clearly in such heavy rain."

The proprietress yelled at the top of her voice, it was really raining too much, and it fell on the ground with a clatter, and it was hard to hear clearly if it was not loud.

"Okay, then I'll come back tomorrow. I don't know if the proprietress has an umbrella here, and can I borrow it for the next time?"

It's also not close to the inn, so I'm afraid I'll be drenched when I go back in the rain. If the Ming clothes can't dry, it will be difficult.

"Yes, little brother, wait a moment."

I saw the proprietress enter the back room, and after a while, she came out with a big blue umbrella in her hand.

I took the umbrella from the proprietress, thanked me, and then ran into the heavy rain holding the umbrella.

In fact, I really like the rain. When it rains, I always feel refreshed. All my troubles will be washed away by the heavy rain, and then I will become brand new.

But now is not the time for rain. When I returned to the inn, my body was inevitably wet, but I hung it on the clothes hanger to dry at night, and it should be dry tomorrow.

The boss was dialing the abacus behind the counter, when he saw someone coming in, he looked up at me: "Should I be a guest officer or stay in the store?"

"Stay in the hotel." I put away the umbrella, walked to the boss, paid the money, and went upstairs.

After entering the room, I put the green umbrella that the proprietress lent me behind the door, then walked to the window, opened the window, the rain outside was oblique, and the rain would not fall into the house, only a few drops occasionally Some will float in and land on my face, which is cool and comfortable.

There were two jujube trees not far from the inn, swaying left and right by the strong wind, there were no pedestrians on the road, only the bare town was left exposed to the heavy rain, and suddenly a glowing thing broke into my sight.

I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a wild dog, a really stupid dog, who was still walking in the rain under such heavy rain, and didn't know where to hide temporarily.

I looked at that silly dog, it went from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the inn where I was. It looked up and looked up. Could this dog be spiritual, I thought.

I saw it raised its foot and walked into the inn, but soon, it was kicked out. It groaned in pain, stood up and wanted to go in, but was kicked out again.

"Go away, get out, this is not a place for you." It was the voice of the waiter.

The puppy stood in the rain, but refused to leave, as if it was waiting for the waiter to show kindness and let it in.

A quarter of an hour passed, the heavy rain was still falling, and the waiter did not go out to welcome it. Its small body stood alone in the rain, fighting against the heavy rain.

Well, I was touched, so I went downstairs, discussed with the shopkeeper, added some money, and then got this silly dog ​​into the inn.

"Silly dog, you will be my dog ​​from now on, do you hear me?"

I asked the waiter in the shop to bring up a pot of hot water, and I was bathing it. I don’t know if the dog will get sick if it gets wet in the rain. in case.

"Seeing how stupid you are, let me give you a smarter name. I have it! I will call you a genius in the future! With such an auspicious name, you must become smarter."

After taking a bath, I wiped off the water on Caizi. He is not big, with yellow and white hair, a very small nose, eyes like two black grapes, watery, and no fangs in his mouth. The rows of show teeth are neatly arranged, just like a beautiful big girl.
