Chapter 206: Broken Temple
After receiving Song Dani, Dart Xing set off to rush back to Pingcheng, hoping to rush back before the Mid-Autumn Festival according to the intention of the steward, so he was urging Jiang Sishenghai to hurry up as much as possible along the way.
Jiang Sihai and others also wanted to go home for the holiday, and the group returned to their hearts like arrows, and they did not delay along the way, and hurried up for another five days.
On this day, at dusk, Jiang Sihai and others stopped in front of a ruined temple.
"Everyone will spend the night here tonight, Dahe, you lead the brothers to the courtyard to have a look." Jiang Sihai commanded while dismounting.
"Yes, big brother rest assured." Shi Dahe nodded, and took the three dart masters to the place where they wanted to stay overnight, and they wanted to check if there were any dangers or suspicious people before and after.
"Jiang Darttou, why did you stop, it's not dark yet, let's go again." Steward Yu greeted in the carriage, a little dissatisfied, it will be dark for a long time, this Jiang Sihai actually stopped and stayed here.
"Steward Yu, don't go, there are no people for dozens of miles ahead, and if you miss it, you have to stay in the wild again tonight." Jiang Sihai said, and pointed to the dark clouds in the sky and said, "It's going to rain this night, and the broken temple is safe." ”
"Hmm." When the steward thought about it, when they came, they stayed in the wild for two days because they had no accommodation point, and the insects howled and wolves howled all night, causing him to dare not close his eyes all night.
He didn't say anything more, and came down with him, and it was good to have a ruined temple to live in.
Jiang Xiangyuan jumped out of the carriage, turned around and helped Xiao Ming down, and then frowned and said, "Sister Ming, we have to rest here tonight." ”
Xiao Ming smiled, it's good to have a place, this product is still disgusted, compared to the wild where the sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed, this is already very good.
Li'er and Song Dani followed the carriage, at this time Song Dani and the day is not the same, Yu steward in the end of her identity, after arriving in the town, Yu steward generously took the silver out and asked the two mothers-in-law of the four seas to add two clothes to her, from the inside to the outside of the new clothes.
Now she is wearing newly made clothes, dressed plainly, with only a silver hairpin on her head, but she is a little beautiful, but she is still thin.
In addition to these, Steward Yu didn't care much about this Miss Song, she still rode in the same car with Xiao Ming and them, getting along every day, but she had a little feeling, although she didn't like to talk, but she was the most loyal listener, and she talked very happily with Jiang Xiangyuan and Li'er, who love to talk and laugh.
However, when she was silent, she looked at Xiao Ming most of the time.
The broken temple has been in disrepair for a long time, it has not lived for a long time, the gate has been missing one side, the weeds outside have a person to be high, the Buddha statue inside has fallen incompletely, it is no longer possible to see which Buddha is enshrined, the window lattice falls off, the ashes are fluttering everywhere, the cobwebs are everywhere, and there are bonfire ashes left by the predecessors on the ground.
After Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Cheng knew that they were going to stay in the broken temple at night, they simply cleaned up the inside, chose a place that was still clean, and set up a simple cloth curtain to separate the inside and outside, so that it became a resting place for a few girls.
At night, everyone used the small stove brought by Xiao Ming to boil a pot of tea, and put an iron pot to heat some steamed buns, cook a pot of fresh mushroom soup, and with Xiao Ming's fruit wine and canned food, it was the dinner of the group.
"It's good to have Dr. Xiao here, how could we have this treatment before." Shi Dahe sighed with a smile while eating steamed buns, drinking canned food, you can't drink when you go out, even fruit wine is not allowed.
But this is already very good, if in the past, when I was out running unlucky, it would be nice to have a hot bite to eat at night, like now it is eating food and hot canned soup, I really can't think of it.
The others nodded their heads in agreement, but the steward Yu didn't speak at this time, and ate canned fruit.
When you go out, everything is simple, and it is wrong to have a stutter.
After dinner, everyone sat around the fire to keep warm, the weather in early autumn, the night was already a little cool, the burning fire was also to prevent wild beasts, the night was really as Jiang Sihai said, it rained, the drizzle accompanied by the breeze drifted into the broken temple from the dilapidated window lattice.
Xiao Ming couldn't sleep, she opened her eyes and looked at the dark night outside, it had been twenty days since she left home, she was starting to feel homesick again, and it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in half a month, hoping to rush back.
Outside the curtain, the two dart masters on duty whispered, "It's raining again, I'm afraid it won't be easy to walk tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." The other dart master nodded, and the wind in the night blew in with the rain, and he felt a little cold and moved towards the fire, looking at the dilapidated door, and really worried that the dilapidated door would be blown down by the wind.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was thunder from time to time, and lightning flashed across the sky, making the night even more terrifying.
Song Dani beside her didn't fall asleep, she turned over uncomfortably, and her heart trembled when she heard the thunder, and the pear in the corner was sleeping soundly, and there was a whirring snoring sound at this time.
"Doctor Xiao, have you slept?" Song Dani called out in a low voice, and her fingers couldn't help but touch her gently.
"Nothing?" Xiao Ming replied, in such an environment, she couldn't sleep with Ben, in her previous life, she often traveled, and she must rest in a safe environment at night, and she has been resting in the space since she had space, and she couldn't close her eyes to this broken temple.
"Why don't you sleep yet, are you homesick?" Xiao Ming asked.
Homesick? Song Dani opened her eyes, looking out the window through the blindfolded light, from time to time there was lightning to bring light to the dark night, she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, homesick, but where did she still have a home, it was never her home, since her mother died, her father married her stepmother, she lived day and night under the beating and scolding of her stepmother, and her father ignored it.
After leaving for so many days, she didn't want to for a moment, she couldn't wait to escape, she knew that the second uncle didn't have a good heart to take her over, the second uncle had two cousins in the family, the second uncle's family came back when the ancestor was worshipped the year before last, and now she still remembers the appearance of the two cousins, gorgeous and beautiful clothes, white and tender faces, slender jade fingers, she brought them water and they didn't look at it, and they didn't drink it.
They laughed at her, made fun of her.
She will never forget.
She also knew that she didn't know what the consequences would be, how could the second uncle's family have good relatives think of her, but she had no choice, that night she overheard that the stepmother and her father were discussing to sell her to the sixty-year-old widower in the town to fill the house.
How could she be willing, but she was afraid, until the second uncle sent a letter to him, saying that he was going to take her to the city and found her a home, for which her father and mother got a lot of silver.
They are all sold, and it is better to sell them to the second uncle than to be sold by the stepmother to a sixty-year-old widower.
Xiao Ming asked her homesickness? She didn't want to.
In her thoughts, she seemed to hear the sound of the road outside the door, and the sound of talking.
"Master, there is a ruined temple in front, let's take shelter from the rain inside!"
