Chapter 33: Eat Quickly
"This Po Sa Niang Niang heard that it is the manager of the Yin and Yang worlds, dealing with the disputes between the Yin and Yang worlds, if any little ghost has not returned to the underworld after the end of the Halloween, Po Sa Niangniang will go out to call it back, she is in charge of the peace of the Yin and Yang worlds, of course, she can't manage it before the Halloween, I heard the old generation say that this Po Sa Niangniang has gone down to the earth a few times to exorcise ghosts for people, and a hundred years ago she also came to Liancheng to exorcise ghosts, so this is why there is this Po Sa Temple, and the reason why the Halloween on this side of Liancheng has gongs and drums, chanting, The child's crying was also influenced by Posa. ”
"Because tomorrow is going to be Halloween, so the gongs and drums of the past few nights have started to come out from there."
According to that, this ink-scented rainbow bead is in the Posa Niangniang Temple.
Xu Luoyang then asked: "In this case, what I want is in this Posa Temple." ”
"Yes." Li Yunxiu said.
This ink fragrance rainbow bead suddenly had a clue, she was happy, but why is it in a temple, how can she take it.
Sneak to get it? Or take the tribute to worship the mother?
After listening to this, Xiao Hanxi felt that it was not a big problem, and took out his white jade tiger fan: "Isn't it easy, Luo Yang, do you want me to accompany you to get it, you will be fine after taking the beads, and the task of coming here has been completed." ”
Xu Luoyang: "How to take it, can't I be offended if I take it like this?" And if you take it, you will become a thief. “
Xiao Hanxi: "This is not a trivial matter, let's go add sesame oil, there is nothing that cannot be solved by silver." ”
Xu Luoyang didn't understand what it meant to add sesame oil, so he asked Xiao Hanxi: "Hanxi, what do you mean by adding sesame oil, and what is the connection between this and silver?" ”
Li Yunxiu: "Luo Yang, don't you know what sesame oil is?" ”
Xu Luoyang shook his head: "I don't know! ”
"Alas, this sesame oil means donating money to the temple." Xiao Hanxi explained.
"Donate money! Yes, I would be nice to donate money, but will they give me the beads? "Xu Luoyang doesn't know what to do, there must be someone taking care of that temple.
Li Yunxiu: "I don't know if I want to know first, but now I won't open the temple door to let us in." ”
Xu Luoyang was puzzled: "Why, are we not allowed to enter when we go to burn incense and worship in the middle of the day?" ”
Xiao Hanxi: "That's right, it's unreasonable if you don't let you in in the daytime, if you don't let you in, what are you doing in this temple?" ”
Li Yunxiu: "Hanxi, have you forgotten? When you were a child, the temple you hid in was the Posa Temple, and you just entered it, and then you were bombed away. ”
"Well, when I was a kid?" Xiao Hanxi doesn't seem to have this thing in his memory, he is the first to forget these bad and disgraceful things, where will he remember, "I don't remember." ”
Li Yunxiu: "It's really a noble person who forgets things, when you were blasted out by the people inside, and you kept crying in front of the temple, and in the end I found you first." ”
Xiao Hanxi really didn't know that he still had such a shameful incident, this was simply a shame for him, but how old was he at the time, and he remembered that he and his mother had not come to Liancheng a few times.
Xu Luoyang wanted to know his age at the time: "Yunxiu, how old was he at that time." ”
"When I was six years old, I was still playing hide and seek with me, and people wanted to hide in the temple, but they were unexpectedly blasted out......"
"Okay, okay, don't say it, Yunxiu, that's my young ignorance, ignorance!" Xiao Hanxi didn't let her go any further, because he didn't know what else he didn't know.
Xu Luoyang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled when he heard this: "Yes, Hanxi, you are right, but you are also cute!" ”
Xiao Hanxi looked disgusted with him at that time, why didn't he fight and how could he cry?
Li Yunxiu: "So, our current situation is the same as cold, and if you go in during the day, you may have to be scolded." ”
I really didn't expect this Po Sa temple to have such a thing, isn't this temple built for the people to come to incense? How can there be such an operation!
"Why can't you just go in?"
Li Yunxiu: "It's not that we can't go in, but we have to go in at the wrong time, in the days when Halloween is approaching, Posa Temples are closed and forbidden to offer incense, and you can only go in after Halloween." ”
"Wait until after Halloween?" Xu Luoyang didn't expect that it would take two days before he could get the Moxiang Hongzhu.
Li Yunxiu: "That's right! ”
"Luo Yang, you wait for two more days, and I'll accompany you to have a look at it then."
Xiao Hanxi: "If there is something lively, you can also call me!" ”
When things progressed, Xu Luoyang put her heart down, and in the afternoon she went out to buy a box of walnut cakes, and she saw many poor people on the street, and a few beggars begging.
Seeing those people living so shabby, and thinking about her days in the welfare home, her life was at least well-fed and warm, not as sad as theirs.
So when she saw someone begging or dressed in tatters, she would put a few copper coins in their broken bowls, so after she bought walnut cakes, she ran out of money.
When she returned, there was no one on the street, but she heard a cry in the alley on the side, which she heard very well. When she stopped to listen again, she remembered where she heard the voice.
Isn't this the way you can hear the child's wailing at night, and the location of this alley is a little familiar, and she looked inside, and it was in this alley that she heard the child's voice.
"Woo woo, woo woo!"
The voice from inside became more and more sad, and Xu Luoyang walked over to see that she had come under the high wall again, and the child's voice came from this wall.
Xu Luoyang shouted at the wall: "Child, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Woo woo, woo woo!"
"Don't cry, kid, tell my sister, are you the one who cried last night?" Xu Luoyang shouted.
The child on the other side of the wall didn't pay attention to Xu Luoyang's voice, but cried even more sadly.
When Xu Luoyang heard this voice, she couldn't figure out why she ignored her?
Xu Luoyang looked at the height of the lower wall, and then twisted. Moving her waist, there was only a little pain. Then she traced the position, and Lianbu jumped up with a light effort.
Xu Luoyang stood on the eaves of the wall, looking at what seemed to be a backyard below, where there were a few willow trees, planted very distantly, and a stone table and chairs were placed in the middle, and there was a long stone road extending on both sides of the middle, and the grass growing on the lawn was very high.
"Woooooo
Xu Luoyang saw that on the left corner of the wall, there was a little boy with rusty iron chains on both hands and feet, and a big iron ball under the four sides of the chain, and the child was still curled up and cried.
She immediately flew off the eaves, walked in front of the little boy, and crouched down.
"What's wrong with you? How did it end up here? ”
The child didn't pay attention to Xu Luoyang, but the crying stopped.
Xu Luoyang didn't hear his voice, and wanted to reach out to touch what was wrong with him, but he just took it back and took it back, thinking that this was not good, so he didn't want to do it without people's consent.
The child wore a gray robe, so long that it did not fit, and the hem of the garment that sat underneath was still spread out, and the sleeves were much more numerous, but his hair was neat, and he had a golden tiara, and the cloud stripes on the crown were delicately carved.
How could such a kid be here?
Xu Luoyang looked at the child, and then followed the chain to the big iron ball, "How can this be?" Or is this kid being ......?"
She didn't say anything, but she said three words in her heart: human trafficker.
If that were the case, wouldn't it be dangerous for the child to stay here.
"Little ......"
Before she could say the word "child", she was frightened by the child's face.
The child's face was painted in several colors from the eyes to the chin, from the ink gray on the forehead, to the turmeric in the middle, the azure blue, the crimson red, the purple color, and finally the dark blue. What scared her especially was that there were tear stains on both sides.
When the child saw that she was frightened, he buried his head again: "Who are you?" ”
His words were full of resentment, as if he regarded Xu Luoyang as an enemy, but not like it.
Xu Luoyang: "I heard someone crying, so I skipped over to take a look." ”
"How did you get here?"
The child does not speak.
Xu Luoyang was frightened by him just now, and her heart was still a little palpitating, but this child didn't speak, she really didn't know what to do.
There is a child in this place, but why is this child's face painted like this?
"Kid, I ask you. Were you abducted? ”
The child did not answer.
Xu Luoyang said more: "Why don't you speak, you tell me, I may be able to help you, I don't understand if you don't speak!" ”
The child was not surprised to see her appear here, but ignored her existence, Xu Luoyang wondered if he was abducted, if he was abducted, he shouldn't have such an attitude.
"Goo~Goo~Goo"
Xu Luoyang heard this voice from the child, and happened to be holding a walnut cake in his hand, Xu Luoyang handed it over and put the walnut cake in front of him: "Eat some!" ”
The sun is shining, the hot wind is blowing, and here a few sparrows stay in the willow tree chirping, melodious, and the willow branches are still moving with the wind.
The child sat in the corner, crossed his feet and slowly raised his head, and set his eyes on the nearest willow tree, on which there were two sparrows, they flapped their wings, and the next second they flew away.
Seeing them fly away, the child's sad face became even heavier, his eyes were no longer tearful, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his sockets were still a little swollen.
Xu Luoyang dared to look at him by looking elsewhere.
Why don't you say what happened when you cry like this?
The child's stomach sounded "goo~goo~goo" again, and he was really hungry now, so hungry.
"Would you like to eat some, this walnut crisp is pretty good."
There was a box of food at his feet, and the child looked at it and swallowed, blinked, and then his hand reached for the walnut crisp without heeding.
"Can I really eat it?" He was cautious, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Hearing the child speak, Xu Luoyang nodded.
"Yes, you can eat it!"
When the child got a reply, he put his hand out of his sleeve before opening the box of walnut crisps, and when he saw pieces of walnut cakes, he went to take a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it quickly.
How long has it been since this kid eaten?
The child ate the walnut cake very quickly, and more than ten pieces were about to be eaten by him, Xu Luoyang saw that he ate it so quickly, so she asked: "Do you still want it?" I'll jump out and buy it for you to eat. ”
The child swallowed the last bite of walnut crisp and said, "Sister, no need." ”
"Also, sister, thank you for giving me food."
Hearing the child call her "sister", Xu Luoyang was happy in her heart, and she smiled: "You're polite, I'm not hungry anyway." ”
"By the way, kid, can you tell me now, what's wrong with you, why are you here?"
After the child finished eating, there were still residual walnut crumbs in his mouth, so he wiped it with his hand, and when he wiped the side of his mouth, it changed, and several colors were mixed together, which looked strange and scary.
