Seeing that it was about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, they could only sneak cautiously and hurry, looking at the frostbite on the faces of the three children, Su Meimei finally couldn't help but make this suggestion to Qian Dai.

Qian Dai looked back at the five people behind him, and when his gaze stayed on Mo Mo, he thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

In Qian Dai's opinion, others are actually not important, but he has to take care of it at the end, such a cold day, and the New Year is approaching, no matter what, he has to make something delicious for this little girl.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Qian Dai faintly saw that on the side of the road, there was a faint light at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Qian Dai thought about it, raised his hand and grabbed the reins, turned the car around and went down the avenue.

Walking on the path of the field that was already covered with snowflakes, Qian Dai drove the mule cart slowly approaching, where the lights in front of him were.

Su Meimei, who was holding the pillar, didn't know why, looking at the lights that were getting closer and closer, she began to feel melancholy and sour in her heart, and she inexplicably began to miss her hometown and her relatives.

If the family is still there, if the relatives are still there, at this time she should be with her relatives, and everyone will sit together for dinner......

After walking for a while, the mule cart carried them up a small dirt slope, and Qian Dai drove to a stop in front of a house with lights on.

Qian Dai got out of the car, walked to the courtyard gate and knocked on the door.

With this rhythmic knock on the door, the door of the hall in the courtyard was opened.

Qian Dai looked up through the courtyard wall, which was half a person high, and a man about thirty years old, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a big jacket on his body in the other, asked loudly in the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Who? Who's out there?"

The man asked loudly, and at the same time he held up the oil lamp and came in the direction of the courtyard gate, and as the other party approached, Qian Dai and Mo Mo outside could clearly hear the small muttering in the other party's mouth.

"Damn, on this snowy day in college, who is so idle and has nothing to do? Could it be a widow? No, no, the devil knocked on the door so gently, so who is outside?"

When the muttering man walked to the door, Qian Dai, who heard the movement outside, spoke: "Fellow, our passers-by in a hurry, there is a lot of snow outside, and there are a few children, so there is no way to take the liberty of disturbing the fellow countryman, we just want to borrow a night, and please make it convenient for you."

"Overnight?" As the words sounded inside the door, the people inside squeaked and opened the courtyard door.

The man approached Qian Dai with a lamp, looked at Qian Dai's appearance, and then raised the oil lamp and poked his head out, trying to see the appearance of the last few people behind Qian Dai.

After watching it for a long time, the man frowned, shook his head and asked, "You are all from Henan, right?"

Qian Dai paused when he heard this, and before he could say anything, the other party continued to speak.

"Looking at your appearance, I know that you must have fled from Henan, you should leave quickly, my family can't take you in, hurry up."

Although the man spoke the local dialect, but because the speed of speech was not fast, they could hear each other's words clearly, and after Su Meimei in the car heard this, she immediately couldn't help it, and hurriedly got up and looked at the man in the door and begged.

"This big brother, you are doing well, let us spend the night for one night, we don't live in vain, we will give money."

The man was still unmoved when he heard this, and still shook his head and said resolutely: "No, you Henan people are very bad, in the past, someone in our village took in you who fled, how do you know that you will take revenge!" Originally, because the widows came to sweep and collect grain, our own life was not easy, but you Henan people, not to mention eating and drinking for nothing, and injured our people when they came, and stole the food of other people's homes, you are simply a white-eyed wolf! No, I can't take you in!"

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, even if they were covered with quilts in the car, the cold wind kept burrowing into the quilts, and if there was no place to protect them from the wind and snow at night, they might have frozen to death.

Therefore, after Su Meimei heard the other party's tough words and refusal, she was not angry, and still begged hard.

"This big brother, we are definitely not such people, you see, we are basically women and children, the only child involved is less than twenty, we will definitely not do ungrateful things, you should do well, even if you look at these three children, you can take us in for one night." After saying that, Su Meimei suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly opened her mouth to promise: "Big brother, we have our own food, we don't take advantage of you, please."

Maybe it was because he was moved by Su Meimei's crying, or maybe it was because of the poor three children on the pillar on the mule cart, and after a long time, the man frowned and sighed.

"Alas! If you ask me again, I won't be able to! Since our village was robbed by your Henan people that time, the village chief and chief of the village have spoken, saying that no one can take in outsiders, and those who violate it will be severely punished, and I can't help it. ”

Speaking of this, the man looked at the three children in the car, and then he couldn't bear to suddenly burst out of his heart, "Don't go back to the avenue, go down the dirt slope and walk along the path at the entrance of the village, there is a broken temple about five miles away, and there is a big peach tree in front of the broken temple, you go there to avoid it." ”

After saying this, the man said no more, and the man flashed back inside, and closed the door with a clatter.

Outside the door, Qian Dai looked at Mo Mo, and then at Su Meimei, he didn't say anything, he sat back on the mule cart, and drove to the broken temple that the man said just now.

Sure enough, what the man said just now was right, according to what he said, after Qian Dai drove about five miles away, there was really an abandoned and ruined temple here.

This temple is in the valley at the foot of the mountain, there is a big peach tree outside, it seems that it is estimated to be hundreds of years, the trunk is very large, it takes a few people to hug it, because the trunk is huge, it just blocks the broken temple behind it, if they are not pointed, even if they pass by here during the day, they may not be able to find this small broken temple behind.

Qian Dai and Mo Mo got out of the car and cleared the snow, dead branches and leaves on the path next to the peach tree, and it took half an hour of hard work to barely make a road.

drove in, looking at the small temple with tiled walls still intact, Qian Dai and they were relieved, and finally they didn't have to sleep in the field on a snowy day.

I don't know how long the broken temple has been deserted, although it looks quite intact, but it is full of dust and empty, that is, there is not even a statue of the Bodhisattva to worship.
