Chapter 489: Overnight at the Broken Temple
Qin Xuhua, who was full of loss, did not have a trace of a smile on his face, although he had few opportunities to talk to her every day, as long as he could see her, he was already very satisfied.
Mrs. Qin looked at her son's lost face, so she stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be depressed, be happy, okay son?"
Qin Xuhua nodded reluctantly.
Gu Anning, who had already left Feiyun City, had already found a farmhouse at this moment.
The owners of the house are a middle-aged couple with three children, the eldest son is married, and the second son and the younger daughter are not yet of marriageable age.
From their language, Gu Anning could see that they were very hospitable.
After staying overnight, Gu Anning left some silver for the owner of the farmhouse after eating breakfast.
After getting into the carriage, Gu Anning asked Lu Dacheng to set off.
Time passed quickly, and soon after a simple picnic lunch, the sky began to darken.
"Miss, it's about to rain, let's find a place to hide, shall we?" Lu Dacheng, who was driving the car, looked at the sky scattered with dark clouds and said loudly.
Gu Anning, who was sitting in the carriage, also lifted the curtain to check the sky outside, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, she speculated that it was estimated that there would be more than half an hour or so when it rained.
"Dacheng, rush at full speed, and strive to find a foothold." Gu Anning, who was sitting in the carriage, commanded loudly.
When Lu Dacheng heard this, he didn't pause for a moment, and the whip in his hand was raised, and he whipped the horse's ass with little force.
The horse has a spirit, and as soon as the whip is gently whipped on its buttocks, it knows that its owner wants to speed up.
Due to the full speed of the horses, the carriage was very bumpy.
"Miss, it doesn't matter to you, right?"
Feeling such a bumpy carriage, Qiu Ling looked at her young lady with some concern.
Gu Anning shook her head, "I'm fine." ”
At this moment, there was no shop in front of the village or behind the village, and after running at full speed, they finally found a ruined temple.
found this dilapidated temple that could at least shelter from the wind and rain, and Gu Anning let everyone settle down here.
Lu Dacheng tied the horse under the eaves, and then took a lot of things into the ruined temple.
Seeing that it was already raining outside, Gu Anning sighed lightly.
"It doesn't seem like the rain will stop for a moment, and it looks like we're going to settle here tonight."
Qiu Ling, who was following behind, nodded, "Miss, I'll go make the bed first." ”
Gu Anning nodded.
As the rain became heavier, rain began to leak in several parts of the ruined temple, wetting the dry grass in the temple.
Lu Dacheng hurriedly carried all the hay to a dry place next to him, because of the rain, he didn't pack up the dry firewood, these hay may be able to be used tonight.
Picking up the mat from the carriage, Qiu Ling spread the huge mat straight on a pile of hay. I pressed it with my hand and felt that it was very soft, so I looked at the young lady who was standing not far from the door and said, "Miss, the bed is made."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Anning smiled at Qiu Ling, and then turned to Lu Dacheng, "Dacheng, don't be busy with these cooking utensils, while it's not dark yet, you should also hurry up and make your bed, and I will stay here tonight." ”
Lu Dacheng nodded, and then began to make his bed.
The carriage was modified, with several thin bedding in the compartments of the carriage, just in time for the spring temperatures.
These bedding had been prepared in advance, and now they were taken out and each person was given one.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and finally the storm suddenly rose, Lu Dacheng hurriedly walked out of the broken temple, took out a large piece of oil paper from the carriage, spread it on the carriage, and wrapped the entire horse chao, so as not to wet the carriage with the rain in the wind.
After fixing the oil paper, Lu Dacheng, who felt sorry for the horses, made a barrier for the horses to block the wind and rain.
After doing all this, he returned to the ruined temple.
Due to the heavy wind and rain, Lu Dacheng closed the two doors in the temple again.
As soon as the door was closed, the entire ruined temple was darkened, and the statue in the center was a little terrifying.
Qiu Ling lit several candlesticks, and the bright light illuminated the entire ruined temple, which was incompatible with the gloomy and dark situation outside.
More than an hour later, the rain still had no intention of stopping.
Since it was dinner time, Lu Dacheng, who had no way to go out to find dry firewood, was looking for wood that could be lit in this ruined temple.
There are wooden shelves on both sides of the temple, which are supposed to be used to hold a lot of candlesticks, but now they are rotten and can be removed to make a fire.
Lu Dacheng took out a machete necessary to go out, and then there was a sound of chopping wood, and the two huge shelves were cut into wooden sticks of uniform length by him.
He took some hay, cut some wood chips from the wooden shelves, and then put them on the hay.
The hay was lit, and the hay ignited the pieces of wood chips on it, and Lu Dacheng put down firewood on top of the wood chips.
It was quiet, except for the crackling sound of the burning fire.
Lu Dacheng, who was busy in front of the fire, was seriously cooking the porridge in the pot, and the meat that had been supplied from the previous family was roasted on the side.
Qiu Ling came to sit down in front of the fire, and she was busy with Lu Dacheng for tonight's dinner.
When night falls, the hot porridge and the meat that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside are baked.
The oily pork is placed on a white plate, and it looks extremely attractive.
"Miss, it's time for dinner." Qiu Ling served the young lady a bowl of porridge and placed it on a flat wooden board, and then sandwiched a large piece of the best pork and put it on the plate in front of her, and then slice it.
………………………
It was stormy outside, and a few people inside were eating dinner around the fire, and the scene was very warm.
After finishing dinner, Gu Anning, who had nothing to do, sat on the big bed that was temporarily spread.
Lu Dacheng stayed on the edge of the fire and watched the fire, adding a few sticks of firewood to the fire from time to time to make the fire burn without extinguishing it.
The rainy nights were cold and humid, but their bedding was not as thick as in winter, but it was quite thick.
I don't feel cold when I cover my body now.
"Miss, steward, you rest, I'll keep vigil." Lu Dacheng, who was guarding the edge of the fire, looked at the two people who were on the same bed.
Gu Anning shook his head and said, "There's no need to keep vigil, go and rest, just don't sleep to death."
Tomorrow is a day of travel, and if you can't rest well at night, tomorrow you will feel very tired mentally and physically.
