Chapter 4 Taoist Temple Shelter from the Rain
The weather was gloomy and the cold wind howled.
The farther north you go, the colder it gets.
The sky was cloudy, and it looked like another precursor to a storm.
On the empty official road, a horse-drawn carriage galloped forward, driven by a thin young man, with a whip in his hand, and his mouth kept shouting, urging the horse to speed up.
"Young master, it looks like it's going to rain on this ghost weather, let's find a place to stay!"
The little man who rode the horse looked up at the dark sky, then quickly turned his head, glanced at the curtain hanging on the door of the carriage, and said softly.
"Xiao Anzi, calculate the time, it's almost to Kaiyuan County, right?"
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a young man with a handsome face showed half of his body, this young man was Ling Feng, who went to the imperial capital to donate officials, at this time he was wearing a cyan robe, with a wooden hairpin on his bun, his clear and translucent eyes were shining, his nose was straight and powerful, his lips were thin, and his face was square and handsome, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling, but he did not lose the feeling of masculinity.
Ling Feng looked at the surroundings and said, "This place is uninhabited, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find a place to stay!" ”
The little Anzi in Ling Feng's mouth was naturally his personal attendant, and the two went to the imperial capital together, traveling together, without any entourage.
This time when he went out, he sold almost all of the Ling family's property, and left a few left for the housekeeper Ling Zhong to take care of, the current Ling family, it seems that the business is not as big as before, but all of them have been exchanged for cash, and all the silver tickets are in Ling Feng's pocket, ready to go to Beijing to donate officials.
Xiao Anzi listened to Ling Feng's words and replied: "Young master, this is indeed already the territory of Kaiyuan, and after Kaiyuan, you will be in the imperial capital; Although there are few pedestrians here, it is deserted, but the small ones have inquired clearly, and a little further on, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple. We can stay there for the night, and then we can set off early tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, hurry up, it's going to rain."
Ling Feng hummed, then stopped talking, and shrank back into the car.
The wheels were turning, the carriage was galloping fast, the cold wind was blowing on his face like a knife, Xiao Anzi was slightly squinted by the wind, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "This ghost weather is really annoying." ”
"Whirring" in the black and oppressive sky, a strong wind blew, blowing up bursts of dust.
"Rustle."
After the strong wind blows, it kicks up countless sand and dust.
Suddenly, Xiao Anzi, who was galloping on his horse, felt a chill on his face.
"It's raining!"
Xiao Anzi sighed in his heart, it rained heavily before he arrived at the place where he landed, and it was really unfavorable to travel!
Raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a mist rose from the ground, and a torrent of rain splashed on the ground, and a burst of dust came to the face, and the rain and fog were hazy. The huge mist blurred the vision in front of him, and Xiao Anzi's clothes had already been wet by the rain, and he couldn't care about the wet clothes at this time, and kept urging the horses to run quickly.
"Whew has finally arrived."
Xiao Anzi looked from afar, and saw a dilapidated Taoist temple standing in the rain on the side of the road ahead.
The temple has long been dilapidated, the gables have collapsed, and it is almost in ruins, but it is still feasible to shelter from the rain.
Driving the carriage to the gate of the Taoist Temple, Ling Feng got out of the carriage and ran into the Taoist Temple quickly. After Ling Feng got out of the car, Xiao Anzi pulled the horse and placed it in the grass shed next to him.
"With so many cobwebs, it looks like no one has been here in a long time."
Ling Feng muttered, picked up a stick from the ground, and cleaned the cobwebs inside the Taoist temple. Xiao Anzi walked in and followed Ling Feng to clean up the Taoist temple, and it took the two of them more than half an hour to clean up the main hall, and also found some thick straw to spread on the ground as a bed.
"Crackling."
In the main hall, Xiao Anzi took out the fire fold, picked up some dry firewood, lit the bonfire, and suddenly, the wisps of bright red flames on the fire kept scurrying.
Ling Feng rubbed his cold hands, his body was close to the bonfire, he felt the warmth coming from the bonfire, he felt a lot more comfortable, and looked at Xiao Anzi, who was like a chicken in soup, Ling Feng said: "Xiao Anzi, this weather is so cold, it's easy to catch a cold, you quickly take off your soaked clothes and change them again." ”
Xiao Anzi snorted, and changed into a set of clothes again. Then the wet clothes are hung on wooden sticks and baked over the fire. After doing this, he took out the dough cake that had been prepared a long time ago from the baggage, divided some and handed it to Ling Feng, and then took out a pot of wine from the baggage, hehe smiled, and ate the dough while drinking the wine.
Watching Xiao Anzi eat bread and drink wine, a trace of envy rose in Ling Feng's heart.
Xiao Anzi is simple-minded, lives a simple life, and is carefree, such a day is still good, but such a thought was instantly suppressed by Ling Feng, since he knew that his father was a time-traveler from another world, he had the idea of fulfilling his father's dream.
It is clearly written in the book that Ling Yue's biggest regret in this life is that he failed to do something great vigorously, as a traverser, he can understand the past and the future, but he died depressed, which is not unfortunate; Therefore, he wants to complete the unfinished business for Ling Yue!
Ling Feng choked on a mouthful of dough cake and said with a smile: "Xiao Anzi, you can't drink wine alone, give me a sip!" ”
Xiao Anzi scratched his head: "I thought you didn't want to drink it." ”
In fact, Ling Feng didn't have any alcohol addiction, and only when he was invited to a banquet would he have no choice but to drink, so Xiao Anzi would say this.
Ling Feng took the wine jug and said with a smile: "On such a cold day, drinking can warm up your body, and you can't get drunk if you drink less." ”
Knock knock, Ling Feng aimed the wine jug to his mouth, took a few big sips, and then returned the wine jug to Xiao Anzi, and when the liquor went down, a hot current suddenly rose from his stomach, and he felt a lot warmer on his body.
"Wine, good wine!"
Just as Ling Feng handed the wine jug to Xiao Anzi, a young man with a thin body and a somewhat weak body ran in, the young man's tall nose kept moving, and a pair of smart eyes rolled wildly, constantly looking at Ling Feng and Xiao Anzi. The young man stared at the wine jug in Xiao Anzi's hand, and walked towards Xiao Anzi unconsciously, with a deep joy in his eyes, as if he had seen a beautiful woman undress.
The young man smiled and sat down by the campfire.
He stretched out his hand to brush away the wet hair on his forehead, his eyes fell on Xiao Anzi, and said with a smile: "It's so cold, this damn weather, it's actually pouring rain, eh, it's all a soup chicken, this big brother, I'm wet from the rain all over my body, I'm panicking cold, can you let me take a sip of wine and warm up." The young man leaned close to the fire, rubbed his hands, and looked at Xiao Anzi expectantly.
Xiao Anzi chuckled in her heart, very reluctant.
He is also a lover of alcohol, but he doesn't want to give up his good things to young people.
Ling Feng looked at the young man in front of him, feeling very abrupt. This young man gave him a very casual feeling, as if he was familiar, but the young man's eyes were clear and transparent, his eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes revealed a sense of confidence, and he spoke very casually, but the tone of his words made people feel very comfortable.
This young man is not bad!
Ling Feng commented in his heart, nodded, looked at Xiao Anzi and said: "Xiao Anzi, meeting is fate, besides, this brother is weak, if he catches a cold, it will not be good, you take a pot of wine again, and then give him some dough cakes, drinking on an empty stomach hurts the body, drinking with dough is not so harmful to the body." After a pause, Ling Feng said again, "Let's take another set of clean clothes from my baggage and change them into him." ”
"Young Master, you?"
Xiao Anzi was stunned, with a puzzled look in his eyes, isn't he just a sick seedling, he needs to be so good to him? But catching a glimpse of Ling Feng's unkind gaze, he shrank his head, reluctantly took a pot of wine and bread from his baggage and handed it to the young man, and then took out a set of clothes from Ling Feng's baggage, handed it to the young man, and hummed: "Count yourself lucky, you met my young master." ”
Ling Feng looked at Xiao Anzi's expression and shook his head.
No matter what the identity of the young man in front of him is, when he is away, who can help him when he is not embarrassed.
