Chapter 1: The Temple of the City God
The town's Chenghuang Temple, which is in tatters everywhere and leaking everywhere, and last night there was another spring rain, and the sporadic rain seeped down through the cracks, making the house smell of dampness.
This city god temple has been in disrepair for many years, and it has been dilapidated and crumbling after several years of wind and rain, but even so, a small place in all directions is still crowded with people, everyone shoulder to shoulder, and some people are even squeezed to put their limbs on others.
Wen Ruyan was confined in his arms, his limbs were numb and couldn't move, and he gradually woke up slowly, his eyes were blurry, and after waiting for a while, a huge face came into view.
"Ahh
A panicked scream resounded through the temple, followed by a crisp slap.
The rain outside was still dripping, and the people who were still asleep in the temple were woken up by this slap, and looked at the two people in the corner.
Wen Ruyan sat up, although she was gray-headed, but her eyes were particularly smart and beautiful, and now she was angry, but her eyes looked extremely wet and indescribably cute.
"Hooligans!" As soon as Wen Ruyan spoke, a pair of big hands suddenly reached over to cover her mouth, Gu Zaoli's cheeks were still hot and painful, but his face smiled very attentively: "I'm sorry, everyone continue to sleep, continue to sleep." ”
Wen Ruyan felt that his head was groggy, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't wait to continue to fall asleep, and his body seemed to weigh a thousand catties, as if he had been poured lead into the lower plate, and he didn't even have the strength to push Gu Zaoli away, so he could only stare at him angrily.
After receiving that slap firmly, Gu Zaoli was completely sleepless at this time, tightly covered Wen Ruyan's mouth, and whispered: "If you want to live, don't speak loudly, if you wake them up, they will kill, do you hear?" ”
Wen Ruyan stared at the person in front of him for a moment and blinked.
Her head was drowsy, and she really didn't have the strength to nod.
Even if you want to run away from here, you have to save up your taxes.
Gu Zaoli moved his hand away a little, and when he saw that Wen Ruyan really didn't shout again, he took his hand back with a smile.
Wen Ruyan glanced at him, and said angrily: "Deng's disciple, phew." ”
Hearing Wen Ruyan's words, Gu Zaoli looked at her unhappily: "How can you speak, I am your savior, you actually said that I am a disciple, I really raised a white-eyed wolf, and I am only here." ”
Wen Ruyan ignored him, and looked up at the leaky roof, and her thoughts drifted into the distance, until a drop of water fell on her forehead, and she came back to her senses.
She turned her head to look at the man next to her who was already taking a nap, and whispered, "Sleeping?" ”
"Hmph."
The man snorted a syllable from his snort, indicating that he was listening.
Wen Ruyan looked at his side face, and a vague memory surfaced in her mind: "I remember you, you are taking care of me these days." ”
Gu Zaoli finally opened his eyes, looked at Wen Ruyan, and jokingly said, "Don't you say that I'm a disciple?" ”
Wen Ruyan's originally serious expression suddenly blushed and stumbled: "That's not because your arm is on me, so I misunderstood." ”
To be precise, accidentally put it on her chest.
However, her body seems to be only about eleven years old, and her body has not yet developed, and there is a bare flat ground in front of her.
But no matter how unexpected, this body is a girl's body after all.
"Poof, this is a disciple, it's good to have a place here, who cares if you have met" Gu Zaoli sneered, and straightened his face: "Okay, let's get down to business, how do you feel about your body?" ”
"My head is a little dizzy, and my body is a little heavy" Wen Ruyan was silent for a moment, looked at him hesitantly, and said tentatively: "Do you know who I am?" ”
Gu Zaoli's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Wen Ruyan in disbelief.
But looking at those clear eyes, he couldn't see a trace of lying, if she really had reservations about this matter, then she must be a master of lying.
"You fainted when I picked you up." Gu Zaoli said a little helplessly, reached out and rubbed his messy hair, his eyes confused.
He rushed to this girl from the upstream when he was fishing a few days ago, although he was poor but he couldn't see death without help, he originally planned to let her go home when she woke up, maybe she could receive a thank you gift from her family, but he didn't expect to lose his memory.
He grabbed his hair irritably: "Do you know where you live?" ”
Wen Ruyan shook her head.
"What about the name?"
Wen Ruyan bit her lip and looked at him without saying a word, Gu Zaoli finally felt like a dead heart.
"Let's say okay first, I'm not a good person, I can't support myself and can't support another you, so when you get well, you have to make money to support yourself."
At this time, she was not driven away, and Wen Ruyan was already very grateful.
She nodded, and heard Gu Zaoli put his lips to her ear and whispered, "As long as I'm not here, you must be careful, there is no one in this room who can be trusted." ”
It has been raining heavily for three years in this world, and the crops that have been cultivated hard have been washed away by the flood, and this year there are many people who can't even eat, and the number of people who are wandering has increased dramatically, and it is good to be able to grab this city god temple as a place to live, and some families can only sleep on the side of the road, and even more so they are washed away without seeing a human figure when the flood blows.
This year's harvest can not be said to be bad, although the state has distributed material relief, but the money has also flowed into the hands of those officials, the only measure is cloth porridge, but there are only two jars of porridge a day, which is not enough at all.
I heard that the son of a family in the west of the village had not eaten anything good for a week, so he killed his mother to eat meat.
Even if such a thing happened in the past few years, those officials turned a blind eye, after all, no one was willing to give money to help these homeless people.
Now everyone looks more harmonious in a city god temple, but when everyone can't grab porridge and get food, who knows if there will be a picture of people eating people.
Gu Zaoli was close, and the warm breath hit Wen Ruyan's ears, only to feel that this hot breath flowed into the body with the ears, and it was unspeakable, but at the same time, there was an inexplicable peace of mind, and he felt groggy and groggy, but now he fell asleep directly listening to the chatter in his ears.
When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day, and the floor around me was already cold, and it seemed that the person had been gone for a long time.
There were still sporadic people left in the City God Temple, but they were all sick and lying down, thinking of what they had heard before going to bed yesterday, Wen Ruyan did not talk to anyone else.
At least Gu Zaoli saved her, and for her with amnesia, Gu Zaoli is her closest person.
Just as he was thinking about it, a figure swayed into the City God Temple.
