1020 Desolate and Dilapidated (Thanks to 20180729's commuter pass support)
The two of them soon arrived at the ruined temple in the east of the city.
Although Xue'er said that she was very young, she was used to walking and exercising, and she came to this desolate ruined temple from the lively market with two small thin legs, and she did not complain of being tired at all.
Uncle Mei looked at it and nodded secretly.
This kid is a hard-working person who doesn't like extravagance and waste.
On the way here, he asked Xue'er, is the mountain temple where you are staying far from here?
Shall we hire a carriage to come over?
Unexpectedly, as soon as the little girl heard that she would have to spend money to hire a carriage, she immediately stopped him with a painful face, and swore to him that the ruined temple was not far from here, and they could walk completely.
Her serious look was like that of a little butler.
Uncle Mei felt both relieved and amused, so he stopped insisting.
After thinking about it, I still walked all the way with the little guy who was diligent and thrifty, but I felt that I was getting more and more remote.
This ruined temple in the east of the city is said to be dedicated to an unknown mountain god and Bodhisattva.
However, because this mountain god and Bodhisattva has never worked at all for the people around him, after a long time, those high-ranking officials and nobles are not willing to condescend to come here and throw money in vain.
In fact, not to mention those dignitaries, even the local people are not willing to come all the way here to worship incense.
It can be said that this is an abandoned temple site that has been forgotten by the world.
However, although it is a ruined temple abandoned by people and gods, ordinary people will not easily come and do blasphemous things.
Xiao Xue'er walked carefully along the way, and she was very reluctant to stain her little embroidered shoes.
So when I walk, I picked up a clean place to walk, and it can be seen that I cherish this beautiful embroidered shoe very much.
But even if she was so careful, her shoes were inevitably stained with a lot of dust.
Xue'er looked at the boots on Uncle Mei's feet, and they were already stained with a lot of dust, just like herself.
I was a little annoyed, but fortunately the destination was finally arrived.
But it seems that Cher was wrong.
Because none of the children who went out to beg have yet returned.
When Boss Yu took Xue'er to take a closer look, he found that this kind of temple was already very dilapidated.
There were broken walls everywhere, and even the main hall gate had collapsed, and another was crumbling.
Well, it's convenient now, and you don't need to push the door to go inside.
Looking inside, it was desolate, and a small tree actually grew out of a corner.
Even the mud bodhisattva statue in the middle hall actually collapsed in half from the head.
Moreover, on the beams and pillars of the house, traces of spiders can be seen everywhere on the walls of the house.
The entire temple was covered with a layer of dusty dirt.
Without the incense offerings, the presiding monk inside is long gone, and there is no popularity at all.
Leaving behind this dilapidated building made it easier for Cher and the few homeless little ones to stay in it, otherwise they really don't know where they would be staying.
If it's a sunny day, it's nothing.
What they fear most is rain and snow.
When it rains and snows, they are like lost dogs, and one by one they shiver with cold limbs in the cold winter.
So everyone thought of a good way, in the cold winter, several people huddled together to keep warm, and in order to take care of the youngest, everyone always subconsciously surrounded her in the middle.
