Chapter 423: The Fate of Food

Ye Shucheng shrank back defensively, although he could hear that the voice seemed to be a child's voice, very immature, and the anxiety in that tone did not seem to be a fake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he became more cautious and cautious, so he did not expose his figure.

The little boy didn't seem to notice Ye Shucheng's existence, and after praying to God and worshipping Buddha, he left.

Then, silence returned to the ruined temple, and there was not even the sound of a flying insect flying by.

Ye Shucheng cautiously stretched out his head to take a look, and then carefully climbed down the offering table, first went to the door to take a look, and then returned to the Buddha statue, and saw at a glance that there was a plate of wild fruits and a plate of things like nectar on the offering table.

Ye Xici hesitated for a moment, but still dipped a little of his hand in his mouth and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a sweet taste filled his mouth, and he felt that the sour, astringent and bitter taste of the wild fruit had eased slightly.

The fruit on the plate was almost the same as last night's, and it looked like it had been placed by the little boy. Although the fruit didn't taste very good, Ye Shucheng had to admit that thanks to those wild fruits, he would have starved to death in this broken temple.

Ye Shucheng didn't dare to stay outside for too long, although he had the intention to immediately find his subordinates to meet, but there were still occasional people coming to worship in this ruined temple, and he was afraid that he would bump into others and expose his whereabouts, so he decided to stay here for another day to see the situation before making plans.

The clothes on his body had not yet completely dried, and he endured the wound on his arm and the weakness of the fever at the moment, climbed back behind the Buddha statue, took off his clothes, and put them on the hay to dry naturally.

The silver tickets originally prepared in his arms had been crumpled together and made up a ball. He finally felt what it was like to have only silver but no clothes or food.

But these silver bills are the foundation of his life for the time being, and it is not known where he will flee in the future, but at least these silver bills are common to the entire Dacheng, and even the money village itself is very powerful, even if it is Dayu and Dazhou, these countries can also circulate.

He had to slowly separate the silver tickets that had been glued together, one by one, and lay them on the hay to dry like clothes.

He had the money, and it would be better if he could buy some clean clothes and food, plus medicine, in case he needed it. But he didn't dare to show his face rashly, so he had the idea of asking the child praying in front of the Buddha statue to help him run an errand.

One is that he can't show his face, and the other is that children are innocent and simple, and they are easier to deceive. As long as you give some benefits, it's easy to fool yourself into doing things for yourself.

It's just that he didn't show up because he was more cautious, and he didn't know if the kid would come again.

However, the pursuer never appeared, and he believed that he should have temporarily got rid of the killer. The reason why he decided to stay here for another day was also because considering that the other party wanted to chase him, he would definitely think that he would not stay here longer if he was in a hurry, and even if he wanted to chase, he might chase after him, and he could take the opportunity to run back to see if he could return to the right track and join his men.

For a whole day, no one in the broken temple came, Ye Shucheng didn't dare to go out, so he could only hide behind the Buddha statue and move carefully in that limited space.

The clothes were finally dry, although they were still a little damp, and the silver tickets were all re-dried, although they were a little wrinkled, but they did not affect their use.

Ye Shucheng was a little drowsy and fell asleep very early. Although this place is not very comfortable, at least it can be sheltered from the wind and rain, which is good.

He decided that if the boy came back to-morrow morning, he would go out and test it, and then ask the boy to help him buy some medicine, food, and clothing, so that he could get on his way. When the time comes, leave some money for this child, and it can be regarded as the end of this fate.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the door open. Because he slept very lightly, he immediately opened his eyes, held his breath, and did not dare to move.

In the dark and ruined temple in the middle of the night, the dull creaking sound of the dilapidated door is extremely uncomfortable and even creepy.

Ye Shucheng's hair even stood up, but reason still suppressed the impulse of fear, and hid motionlessly, without making a sound.

It didn't take long for the dilapidated temple to light up with a dim candle, and there seemed to be only one candle, so the visibility was not high, and it was difficult to even see people's faces. But Ye Shucheng remembered this voice, which was clearly the little boy who came to worship the Buddha with wild fruits and nectar in the morning.

The little boy's voice was crisp and crisp, but he seemed to be a little tired and said, "The Buddha is merciful, ask the Buddha to save grandma." Grandma, she couldn't hold it anymore. ”

"Grandma, she has believed in Buddhism all her life, she is not fishy, she is a loyal believer of the Buddha. Grandpa died early in the war, and grandma single-handedly dragged his father to grow up, watching him marry his own son and live happily and happily, never complaining that he had not lived a good life. Daddy was beaten to death by wicked people, and the bones were hung in front of the door to be exposed to the wind and rain. This family can no longer withstand any suffering. It's useless for me, as a man in the family, but I can't help my father avenge my father, I can't help my mother get my father's bones back, and I can't cure my grandmother's illness. If the Buddha can manifest his spirit, I am willing to live for ten or twenty years, even if I want this life tomorrow, I will never complain. Ask the Buddha to be kind and help grandma. ”

The little boy was only seven or eight years old, but he looked somewhat mature. It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, although his family was not poor, but after his father was killed, his life became more and more embarrassing. The wicked will not let go of this family because his father is dead, he even fell in love with his mother's beauty, wanted to humiliate his mother's commitment to her, and refused to give a name, just as the **** can be used to vent the prostitute, otherwise he will destroy his father's bones, so that his father will not be allowed to enter the earth for eternity, and his soul will be adrift.

"What's wrong with your grandmother?" At this time, such a voice suddenly appeared in the dim ruined temple, the little boy was startled at first, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he kowtowed to the Buddha statue in front of him and said, "Is it really the Buddha's manifestation?" The Buddha was merciful and begged the Buddha to save his grandmother and his mother. Ask the Buddha for mercy. As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously, and the muffled sound of his forehead touching the ground made people feel heavy.

"Do you know what your grandmother's symptoms are?" Although Ye Shucheng was impatient, he did not show this emotion.

"I know, I know that my family has invited a doctor, and the doctor said that this disease can actually be cured, but it is more troublesome, but it requires a lot of silver. That's why the mother hesitated about the wicked man. My mother was forced by the silver. Asking the Buddha to give him a good way to cure his grandmother without much money, the boy was grateful. "The child is still young, whether Ye Shucheng shows up or not, it's just a voice communicating with him, because of the environment, the voice still has an echo, like the description of those immortals in the theory of ghosts and gods.

"If it is silver, it is not a problem. My Buddha is compassionate and makes a great wish to benefit all sentient beings. It's getting late to-day, so go back. Tomorrow morning, if you come here again, you have your own way to cure your grandmother. Ye Shucheng didn't expect that one day he would have to pretend to be a ghost. Looking at the pious and excited expressions of these believers, he knew how many hearts Fang Xiaoyu had unknowingly bought into the hearts of the gods.

"Thank you, Buddha. Thank you. If the mother returns, the grandmother is saved, and the boy will come to repay the vow. The little boy solemnly kowtowed a few times, and then reluctantly left. Grandma still needs to be taken care of at home. He will surely come back early tomorrow morning.

When the little boy left, Ye Shucheng showed his figure, he took out a silver ticket from his arms, and pressed it under the broken incense burner on the offering table.

Early the next morning, the little boy came to the ruined temple, he has been wandering outside, and he does not know whether yesterday was the real Buddha manifestation or he was dreaming, so with a worried heart, he did not enter, and did not enter.

After wandering for nearly half an hour, the little boy still did not resist the hope of saving his grandmother, and pushed open the door of the broken temple.

When he pushed the door and entered, he found that there was still a person in the temple by taking advantage of the light outside. The man knelt in front of the Buddha statue, as if begging for something.

Seeing the little boy come in, Ye Shucheng turned around and frowned, but he didn't speak, his expression was full of vigilance.

Although the little boy wondered where this man came from, he saw that he was wearing only ordinary clothes, so he didn't think much about it, so he walked up to him, knelt down beside him, and kowtowed reverently: "The Buddha is merciful, please give the boy a way to save his grandmother." ”

He bowed to the Buddha statue three times, but never heard the sound of the Buddha's manifestation last night, and was immediately disappointed, he secretly raised his head to look at the Buddha statue, but he was a little timid, and only dared to move his eyes to the offering table a little.

But with such a glance, he caught a glimpse of a piece of paper pressed under the incense burner above the offering table, and the style of this paper was not unfamiliar, it was clearly a silver ticket.

He hurriedly got up and pulled out the silver ticket, hugged it in his arms, and then kowtowed again, gratefully: "Thank you Buddha." Thank you, Buddha. After the disaster at home, the boy will come back to clean the temple carefully, and if he has the ability in the future, he will definitely reshape the golden body of the Buddha. ”

He excitedly hugged the silver ticket and wanted to leave, but saw that the person next to him looked at him with an unkind face. He was slightly embarrassed, but subconsciously held the silver ticket in his hand tightly. This is his life-saving money, even if someone snatches it, he will never let go.

The so-called meeting is divided into half, and there has always been such a rule in the world. It is not a truth, and it is mostly circulated among beggars. However, the little boy seemed to feel a little unkind when he swallowed the silver ticket alone, but he was in urgent need of silver, so he did not want to compromise, so he could only apologize: "This silver is of great use to me, and I can't give it to you." ”

"You are the kid who urgently needs money to save his relatives as the Buddha said in his dream last night?" Ye Shucheng asked pretending to be surprised.

"The Buddha dreamed?" The little boy was stunned for a moment, and then a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He suspected that the man was trying to cheat him out of his money.

"This money is what I pressed under the censer. Last night, the Buddha fell into a dream and said that someone was in urgent need of silver to save his life, and asked me to come here and press down a hundred taels of silver tickets. It is a great achievement to be able to help others for good, and it is also said that the people whom my money helps can also help me. That person is you? A hairy boy? Ye Shucheng showed suspicion, but it aroused the little boy's competitive heart.

Boys, they all like to be competitive, not to mention the hairy boys who have never seen the world in the mountains.

"This money is yours?" The little boy hesitated, but finally said, "I really need this silver urgently, and I can't pay you back." If it is really the Buddha's dream, my uncle does have something to do with me, please make it clear. ”

"I need some clean clothes, food and water, and some medicine for typhoid fever and knife wounds, you might help me find them?" Ye Shucheng took the opportunity to put forward his own needs.

The little boy grimaced. These things are not hard to find, but they all require silver. If you really have all these things ready, and there is not much silver left in your hand, how can you save your grandmother and mother?

Ye Shucheng seemed to see what the little boy was thinking, so he took out two more silver tickets from his arms, handed them to the little boy's hand and said, "You don't need to worry about the silver." I am being hunted down by the enemy at the moment, and it is inconvenient for me to come forward. You take these bills and buy the things I said. If there is any silver left, it is all yours, and I believe that this silver will be enough to save your loved ones. ”

The little boy subconsciously took the silver ticket in Ye Shucheng's hand, and then compared it with the one in his hand, and found that it was really the same. Even the folds that seemed to have been soaked in water were very similar. There was no doubt at the moment, but bowed deeply to Ye Shucheng and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, I will prepare what my uncle needs immediately." ”

"Well, go ahead." Ye Shucheng pretended to be profound. But in my heart, I was relieved.

With clothes, food and medicine, he finally felt a little safe. And the other party is a child, still naΓ―ve and ignorant, and running for his family, he should not be an evil person, so he should not betray his whereabouts.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a difficult task. Now the top priority is to save his life, regardless of whether the silver ticket on his body is spent.

Spend and earn. The forces he has secretly cultivated over the years are not vegetarians. Although he is down, his power is still there, the silver is still there, and he still has a chance to make a comeback. Just stay alive.

Ye Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to stay in front of the Buddha statue any longer. Although he was uncomfortable, he still hid behind the Buddha statue, keenly paying attention to the movement outside the temple.

But what Ye Shucheng didn't know was that he thought he was safe for the time being, but Providence liked to make people. Somewhere not far away, a pair of eyes stared at the ruined temple where he was without any emotion.

The departure of the little boy, as well as the fact that he Ye Shucheng was hiding in the temple, the other party had already grasped all the movements.

He was like a wolf with his prey, watching his food from a short distance and playing with it.

And food, but never escape the fate of being devoured. (To be continued.) )
