From time to time, there will be a 'gurgling' sound in the temple, which is someone's stomach growling.

After hearing the voice, Mingyue couldn't help but touch her stomach and turn her eyes to look around the temple, this time, I saw that someone had quietly taken out the food and began to eat.

It's just a little strange that the people eat carefully, like a thief who is afraid of being discovered.

"I don't know when this rain will stop, so the master and Miss Mingyue should also eat something to cushion their stomachs first." Just when Mingyue was full of doubts, Hua Zhengyan had already taken out dry food and handed it to the two of them.

When Mingyue reached out to take the dry food, she obviously felt that many people around her were throwing straight glances at them, but when she turned her head to look, those people quickly looked away.

"These people are all weird...... Mingyue muttered in a low voice, then picked up the dry food and began to nibble.

In fact, it is dry food, and it is not a particularly good thing, just a few pieces of bread, but in the current environment, somehow, it seems to taste extraordinarily fragrant.

"Two girls, I haven't had a full meal for a few days, can you do it well, give me something to eat......

Before the two of them had eaten two bites, suddenly an old man was supported by a child and squeezed in front of Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue glanced down at the old man, only to see that the old man was skinny, like a dried skeleton with a layer of wrinkled skin hanging on it.

And the child who was supporting the old man was no better, thin and small, with yellow face and thin muscles, which was caused by long-term malnutrition.

Lin Yingxue couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but turn her head and say to Hua Zhengyan, "Do you still have dry food, share some of them." ”

"Yes." Hua Zhengyan replied, and at the same time, he took out two more pieces of bread from the baggage he carried and handed them to the old and young grandchildren.

"Thank you, girl, she is really a living bodhisattva!" After the old man took the dough, he was so excited that he wanted to bow down to Lin Yingxue.

"The old man can't help it!" Seeing this, Lin Yingxue hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the old man.

"I really don't know how long this battle will last, alas......" Looking at the figure of the old and the young clinging to each other, Mingyue sighed with emotion in her heart.

And her emotion just fell, and then a few more people came over, "Two female bodhisattvas, we haven't eaten for a long time, can you give a little charity, thank you two......"

These people also look yellow and thin, and their clothes are ragged, and they seem to be very sad.

Lin Yingxue couldn't bear it, so she couldn't help but turn her head again and ask Hua Zhengyan behind her, "Do you still have dry food?" Let's divide them into a few. ”

When Hua Zhengyan heard this, he couldn't help but look down at the burden, and replied, "There is not much dry food left, if it is all divided, the master and Miss Mingyue will not have dinner, and they will have to wait until the next town to supply supplies." ”

The meaning of Hua Zhengyan's words is nothing more than reminding Lin Yingxue and Mingyue that they must also have a degree of doing good deeds, and if they are all given out, they will also be in trouble.

Lin Yingxue actually understands this truth, but no matter how rational she is, when she sees these people reaching out to her to ask for food, she will still be a little unbearable.

So Lin Yingxue thought about it and said

"Keep your share, and give as much as you want."

"Yes." Since Lin Yingxue said so, Hua Zhengyan didn't say more, first took out two dough cakes from the remaining dry food, and then thought about it, put one back, and divided them all.

The rest of the dry food was distributed, and I thought that this matter would end like this, but I didn't expect that after seeing Lin Yingxue and the others distribute the dry food, a large number of people in the temple suddenly rushed over.

"The female bodhisattva is doing well, let's give us some food......

Those people stretched out their hands and waved them in front of Lin Yingxue and the others like claws from hell.

Mingyue He had seen such a scene, and she was a little stupid for a while, but after reacting, she still endured the fear and anger in her heart and firmly protected Lin Yingxue behind her.

"What are you doing? The food has been divided, and there is no more! Mingyue shouted loudly as she pushed those people out with all her might.

It's just that the group of people didn't seem to hear Mingyue's voice, and they were still desperately trying to snatch something from Lin Yingxue and Mingyue.

"Master!" Fang Cai Zhengyan was also entangled, as soon as he got out, he immediately squeezed in front of Lin Yingxue and protected the two women behind him, "Miss Mingyue, you escort the master and go out." ”

Hua Zhengyan said as he kicked down a few people who were standing in front of them.

This group of people was originally also pitiful, Lin Yingxue saw this situation, she felt a little unbearable, and was about to say something, but those people had already gotten up and moved towards them even more frantically

Well, now I don't want to make a move.

The current situation made Lin Yingxue no longer have time to take care of too much, so she only lowered her head and Mingyue, and the two of them struggled to squeeze out under the cover of Hua Zhengyan.

After finally squeezing outside, Lin Yingxue and the three of them hurriedly jumped into the carriage.

When the people in the temple saw that they had gotten into the carriage, they refused to give up, and chased after them and surrounded the carriage.

"Drive!" Seeing this, Hua Zhengyan was ruthless, and a whip was whipped on the horse, and the horse immediately raised its hooves, neighed, and kicked over the nearest few people.

After seeing that there was a way to go, Hua Zhengyan hurriedly drove away.

Lin Yingxue looked back through the small window on the carriage, and saw that the group of people were still shouting and following them like walking corpses.

The rain was too heavy, there was a lot of mud and water on the road, especially when encountering some dirt roads, and the carriage was even more difficult to walk.

Hua Zhengyan wanted to drive the carriage to the next town, but he was not afraid of anything when it rained a little bit, but the two girls in the car were still wet, and it would be bad if they caught a cold for a while.

Thinking like this, Hua Zhengyan changed direction and drove the carriage into the forest, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the three of them to find a cave where they could shelter from the rain.

There are dead wood and branches in the cave, which can make a fire, Hua Zhengyan did not stay with the two girls in order to avoid suspicion, but stayed at the entrance of the cave alone.

After staying at the entrance of the cave for a while, I heard the voice of Mingyue inside, "Brother Hua, you can also come in and bake your wet clothes." ”

Presumably the two girls had already packed up, so they called him in. Hua Zhengyan got up while thinking.

After entering, I saw that Lin Yingxue and Mingyue had already packed up, and against the backdrop of the firelight, Mingyue's face was flushed, but

Hua Zhengyan lowered his head and didn't dare to look more, only lowered his head and played with the branches, so that the fire could burn more vigorously.

Mingyue didn't notice Hua Zhengyan's strange appearance, but rummaged through the wet clothes that she had just changed on, as if she was looking for something.

"Not good! 00ks" After a while, I saw Mingyue say angrily, "Master, our money bag has been stolen!" ”

When Mingyue said this, what came to her mind was when she was supporting the refugee child before, and she suddenly felt that the child seemed to touch her waist, and she thought that the child was careless, so she didn't take it to heart.

But I didn't expect them to be kind enough to send food to the old and young, but the old man and the child were not well-intentioned, which really annoyed her!

Seeing Mingyue's angry teeth, Lin Yingxue seemed to have thought of something, reached out and touched her waist, and sure enough, the money bag on her body was gone.

Seeing Lin Yingxue frowning slightly, Mingyue knew that something was wrong.

"It's over, what can I do now, it's still so far away from Yancheng. At the time of war, the prices outside are soaring, if we don't have silver taels in hand, how can we get through! ”

Because of Mingyue's words, the atmosphere in the cave obviously became sluggish.

Seeing this, Hua Zhengyan hammered the ground with his fist with a look of chagrin, and suddenly seemed to think of something, groped around on himself for a long time, and finally groped for a money bag.

As soon as Mingyue saw the money bag in Hua Zhengyan's hand, her eyes lit up on the spot, "Brother Hua, your money bag is still there!" ”

......Under the expectant gaze of Lin Yingxue and Mingyue, Hua Zhengyan opened the money bag and poured the contents into the palm of his hand, but it took half a day to pour out a few pitiful pieces of broken silver.

Mingyue stepped forward and fiddled with the broken silver, and immediately cried and said with a sad face, "This little bit of broken silver is not enough for us to stay in the inn for two nights, what can we do......"

In fact, when Mingyue was in the palace, she didn't have such a complaining temperament, but these days she came out of the palace, slept all the way, and experienced many twists and turns, so she had a little temperament.

And Hua Zhengyan somehow, as soon as he saw that Mingyue was unhappy, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly reassured, "It's okay, I won't let you ...... And the master is hungry! I will definitely take you to Yancheng safely! ”

Seeing Hua Zhengyan's sworn appearance, Mingyue glanced at Hua Zhengyan and said softly, although her tone was a little disapproving, but the look on her face was obviously much better.

Lin Yingxue, who was on the side, saw the interaction between the two in her eyes, but she had a bitter smile on her face.

She stared blankly at the rain curtain outside, only to see a white expanse outside, just like the road she was going to take next, she couldn't see anything clearly, everything was unknown.

I don't know how Murong Xing is in the palace now, is there anything wrong with the two children, where is Murong Jun, and has he died on the battlefield......

Lin Yingxue thought for a long time, and finally Mingyue screamed, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

"Master, look!"

Following the direction of Mingyue's finger, Lin Yingxue saw a colorful rainbow hanging on the blue sky after the rain, she smiled, and the group continued on the road.
