In front of the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain, a thin man was sweating profusely and was squatting in the flat to repair the mule cart. Hearing the sound, he raised his head vigilantly, his small eyes narrowed, like a blade.

"Dad, is it fixed? I said earlier that I shouldn't be in such a hurry. ”

Ma Cuihua walked over with a small bamboo basket, used her toes to pluck away the scattered wooden tenon and tenon sawdust, almost kicked over a small can of butter, and her body crooked and stood firm again.

"Go, go, cool off."

Ma Kong waved his hand to drive away the girl, glared at the young man with disgust, and deliberately poked the bull's ear knife at the ground.

It turned out that Ma Kong and Ma Cuihua's father and daughter sold a cart of salted fish to the county town to sell. In the afternoon, the car broke down, so I had to avoid the dilapidated mountain temple next to the road for repairs.

Half an hour later, a strange young man Xintianyou came. shouted that it was about to rain, and it would be terrible to encounter a flash flood, so everyone could only spend the night in the broken temple.

Ma Kong spoke ill of people and wanted to drive people away.

Ma Cuihua couldn't see it, and quarreled with her father, and then pulled the young man up the mountain to collect firewood, pick mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Xintianyou saw that Ma Kong still didn't have a good face, so it didn't matter, so he unloaded the firewood and re-entered the mountain.

I had already seen that the father and daughter were not fishmongers, and they carried something that was enough to cause a catastrophe. He didn't want to rob, but he had to figure out what was going on, otherwise how could that little rain stop the trip?

Ma Kong's lust is fierce, out of a kind of self-preservation, and he feels that any stranger who approaches is suspicious.

It's a pity that walking the rivers and lakes, vigilance is not enough, strength is fundamental.

If the father and daughter want to reach the county seat safely, they can only risk their lives for luck.

Seeing that Xintianyou had disappeared, Ma Kong hurriedly stopped what he was doing and called his daughter over.

"Hey, girl, you need to stay away from that kid."

"Dad, what are you doing, God can't figure it out. Xiao Tian is good, just now there was a poisonous spider on the mountain that bit me, and he drove me away. ”

Ma Cuihua was weak-hearted and didn't dare to mention that she was almost bitten to death by the "mountain wind", for fear of being scolded.

Ma Kong glared at the stupid girl with hatred, sighed, and said:

"Girl, Dad is dressed like this, and you should guess with your toes that he is working on a very important case. Xintianyou, this kid, is not coming from the right ......"

"Oh, Daddy is so long-winded. I know that I handle cases all year round, catch thieves, and look at everyone with a thief's eyebrows. Last month, my cousin in the countryside went to relatives and inquired about our family at the entrance of the alley. It's better for you to arrest people without asking, saying that the thief is 'stepping on the spot'. Angry, my mother took a rolling pin and ......"

"Hey, let's not talk about that. Distant relatives, my father has never seen him, how do I know...... Girl, this time it's not about catching a thief. It is said to be dangerous, but it is not dangerous. It's not dangerous, but it's actually quite dangerous, and it's hard to take your life on the line......"

"Dad, you're bluffing me!" Ma Cuihua was startled.

"Alas, my father didn't say it. In short, be careful to hold up the ship for 10,000 years...... My eyelids were jumping, and I always felt like something was going to happen. ”

Ma Kong knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly stopped.

After a stick of incense, Xintianyou reappeared, as if carrying a small hill and carrying an extra big tree pocket in his hand.

Last time, I picked up a bundle of thin branches, but this time it was all small bowls of thick firewood. Looking at the freshness and unevenness of the stubble surface of the firewood grass, it was obviously broken by bare hands.

He was all over his body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to carry more than 500 pounds, but he acted as if nothing happened.

Seeing this, Ma Kong opened his mouth but did not make a sound, his eyes were bigger than a cow's egg, and the color of fear became even stronger.

Ma Cuihua went to the stream behind the temple to wash the mushrooms and salted fish, and took out clay pots, porcelain bowls, salt dishes and other items from the car, which jingled for a while. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked, why are you getting so much firewood?

Xintian Youdao, everything is wet when it rains, in case someone comes, prepare more.

He threw the firewood into the corner, swept the open space on the left side of the shrine with thin branches with leaves, moved small stones to enclose a three-foot radius, and moved a few large stones as stools. Then put the tree pocket into the fence, pile up small dead branches in the center, cover a few large sticks, dig out small holes at the bottom, and stuff the dead leaves.

Finally, he took out the fire sickle from his bosom, put in the paper velvet, and clicked and clicked.

The sparks splashed down the paperwork, burning small black dots, and then small flames.

With a gentle blow, the flames burst out.

The whole set of movements is simple and bright, without a trace of cumbersomeness and sluggishness, full of rhythmic beauty.

If the wind is on the water, the clouds are rolling up.

Ma Cuihua was stunned, gave a thumbs up and praised again and again, chattering.

It always takes a long time to make a fire by yourself, and you are smoked with tears flowing for a long time, your eyes are red like a rabbit, and you have to be scolded by your mother...... Xiaotian, your master must be a big slacker, let you do everything, it's really pitiful...... Oh, you can't stand the pain and run away, right......

Xintianyou was silent.

He didn't run away, but it was like running away.

In short, leaving Master and getting rid of a pair of stern eyes that always urge study and practice, I feel relaxed and excited for a while. From now on, there will be no shelter, no guidance. The road ahead is chaotic, and it is all up to you to break through by yourself, and you will inevitably be at a loss, and your heart will be empty.

The firewood in spring is damp and emitting wisps of green smoke. After a while, it fades, if there is nothing.

The sky is getting overcast.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Kong hurriedly led the mule cart into the side hall, turned out the Pu knife from the salted fish pile, and hesitantly put it back.

Finally, he came out with a small jar of pickles, and after a while, he found a big stone and sat down beside the fire, staring at the young man with a complicated expression, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

Xintianyou only cared about adding firewood and dust, and watched the flames swaying.

The branches that have not dried out foam at the foam and burst from time to time, giving off the unique fragrance of wood.

Ma Cuihua put the washed mushrooms, wild fruits and vegetables into a seven-point water clay pot and leaned against the edge of the fence. The soup has to be boiled slowly, and if it is burned by a raging fire, it will overflow, and it will not taste good.

When she had done this, she put the salted fish in the branches of the tree and roasted it over and over again, humming a little tune in her mouth. The salted fish was carefully washed and stopped smelling. Gradually, the grease drips, the color is golden, and the tempting index finger moves.

Dark clouds rolled and gathered, the sky was dark as iron, and scattered raindrops began to fall.

There was a cacophony of horses' hooves.

There was no door to the broken temple, and the three of them craned their necks to look out.

Seven horses galloped down the road, turned to the temple and took the reins. The first two men flew up from their horses and jumped down the steps.

The woman's clothes are luxurious, her appearance is beautiful and her skin is white, and her eyebrows reveal a vigorous and heroic spirit.

Looking at the age of only sixteen or seventeen years old, he simply inserted a flute on his head, and there was no embellishment of the step-shaking flower. A sword hangs from his waist, and a small spherical sachet. Long legs, heroic posture.

The middle-aged scholar's appearance was elegant and steady, and he turned his head and ordered the maid guards to lead the horses into the side hall, and arched his hand towards the temple:

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I borrowed it. We take shelter from the rain and have a lot of disturbances. ”

The other party is obviously from the rich and powerful, and he is not a person who is not a person in the market slang. Ma Cuihua lowered her head timidly, not daring to look more. Xintianyou glanced at it curiously, and was glared at by the girl fiercely before retracting his gaze.

Ma Kong hurriedly stood up, bowed his waist and said:

"The villains are also hiding from the rain, and they have just arrived. Don't bother, don't bother ......"

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly and stepped into the threshold. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and he quickly glanced at the three of them, and said to the woman beside him:

"Miss, this temple is so dilapidated that even the statue of the god has collapsed, and I don't know what god was originally enshrined. We might as well take a walk in the back to see what mural stories there are and talk about them to relieve boredom. ”

The girl was stunned, and when she saw the scholar blinking, she said, "It's okay." ”

The white lightning flashed, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, and the soybean-like raindrops smashed the roof tiles with a rattling sound.

The two of them walked through the dim and empty apse and stopped under the eaves.

The scholar leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice.

"Miss, those three people are weird."
