Chapter 468: Child

Yizi eyebrows simply pushed the wine gourd and gave it all to Lu Rou to drink, and he himself turned his head to look at Ye Hancheng, and said with an angry face: "What is the origin of this Taoist priest, big brother, can I beat him up next time we meet?" ”

He couldn't get used to this kind of self-righteous guy, and when he saw it, his hands were a little itchy, and he thought that if he met next time, he would definitely take revenge for being teased this time!

It's a pity that this idea was stopped by Ye Hancheng as soon as it was born.

"Now the overall situation matters, don't mess around." Ye Hancheng got up and looked at them, and said in a calm tone, "Tomorrow, when Daoist Tian goes to the Wang family, we will also investigate in secret, and we must not take it lightly and miss any clues." ”

"Okay......" Yizi frowned a little regretfully, and looked up at Lu Rou and the others as they drank the wine in the gourd with a look of enjoyment, and they were a little sad, so they simply turned their heads and stopped looking.

On the other side, after leaving Wen's house, Daoist Tian looked up at the still cold moonlight, habitually, his palm subconsciously wiped from his waist but touched the air, and he smiled after being stunned, remembering that the wine gourd he had just now was lost in that room.

Thinking of the rough man with very unique eyebrows just now, I guess the little tricks I set up should make the other party very aggrieved......

It's fun to tease someone once in a while.

Since there was no wine, and there was no leisure and elegance for Yue to drink alone, he simply turned over and jumped off the fence and walked alone on the dark and deserted street.

There was a bit of cold wind in his face, which made him feel a little cool even though he was protecting himself. Looking up, there were a few lanterns scattered under the eaves around the sides, but the range that could be illuminated was extremely limited.

The intermittent low sobs and percussions of a faint woman faintly heard from nowhere in the distance added to the gloomy atmosphere.

It is probably because of the famine background here that it looks so desolate. Thanks to the Wen family's disaster relief activities during this time, at least it has been alleviated, otherwise I am afraid it will be even worse than what I see now.

However, in the middle of the night, ordinary people do not dare to wander around outside, because they are afraid of ghosts in the shadows, and they are afraid of their own kind.

After all, in this chaotic world, sometimes people's hearts are more terrifying than ghosts!

At this time, I am afraid that only a figure like the daring Taoist Tian will walk here alone, I wonder if there will be a pair of hidden eyes behind the lightly hidden windows in the pavilions on both sides?

While thinking about it so casually, Daoist Tian inadvertently looked into the distance, but saw that there was a light on the other side of the market, although it was not very bright, but it was still very conspicuous in the dark night.

"That's ......" He was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes slightly, but couldn't see anything, thought about it, and continued to walk forward.

"Anyway, I'm idle now, so I might as well go there and have a look."

After all, this Peishan is still quite interesting, and there are always unexpected things happening.

After some distance, he could finally see the true face of the place that was still so conspicuous in the darkness.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a dragon king temple!

The faΓ§ade itself is actually not large, and even a little cramped. After all, it is located in the town, and with the current atmosphere of the country and the people, in fact, there may not be much belief in the fairy gods, and the original Dragon King Temple has gradually shown signs of abandonment, until this somewhat abrupt drought and famine began to come, and there were slowly some changes.

Now that it has obviously been renovated, the wide wooden doors are dyed bright red, and even the plaque has two red lanterns hanging next to it, which looks a bit festive in line with the disaster situation here.

The door was ajar at the moment, as if it was still welcoming pilgrims. Through the door, you can smell the aroma of candles coming from inside, and you can vaguely hear some subtle noises, it should be someone inside.

Daoist Tian stepped in, but was somewhat surprised to see several half-grown children surrounded by the altar in front of the statue, their clothes were somewhat tattered and dirty, and they seemed to be holding things from the altar in a hurry.

The strange sound I heard just now was made by the sneaky movements of these children.

He understood it at a glance, and his face became a little strange.

I thought it was something strange, but it turned out that these children were...... Stealing sacrifices to eat? It was really unexpected.

At this time, the larger of the children could be heard stealing in a very low voice, "Be quiet...... If we wake up the old man, we'll have nothing to eat! ”

Hearing this, Daoist Tian noticed that in the shadow of the candle flame on the side, there was a small bed made of rattan that was hung up, and a white-haired old man was sleeping there with his back to everyone, as if he was snoring, sleeping soundly, and even the tip of his beard trembled slightly.

The children next to him, led by the older child, nodded their heads one after another, and looked very cautiously from side to side as they stuffed the pastries into their pockets more quickly.

As a result, when one of the little girls just turned her head, she saw Daoist Tian who was watching their movements behind her for a long time, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide on the spot, and the movements in her hands stopped suddenly, as if she didn't know what to do to react, and she looked a little panicked and scared.

The child next to her didn't realize what was happening, and when he saw that she was stunned for some reason, he pushed her with his elbow and urged in a low voice: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" If someone finds out, it's over! ”

"But...... But," the little girl muttered a little aggrieved, looking back, "as if we had been discovered by someone else!" Turn your heads and look at ......."

"What?"

Several children were stunned in unison, and turned their heads a little stiffly, just in time to meet the gaze of Daoist Tian, and their faces changed.

"Oh no, we've been discovered......"

"When did this man come in, why didn't he make any sound at all?"

"No, the question is what do we do now? Someone caught us stealing the sacrifice of the Dragon King, and we will be beaten to death by those adults! ”

They were talking with some fear, and at the same time worried about whether they would make a noise to wake up the old man who was guarding the Dragon King Temple next to them.

The eldest child gritted his teeth, glanced left and right, and suddenly sprinted forward and hugged Daoist Tian's hands, intending to make him unable to move for the time being, and immediately shouted: "You guys go quickly!" I'm going to hold him back! ”
