The young man watched the old Taoist priest turn into a wisp of green smoke, and followed closely. Run in the direction where the boy had just run.

Until a ruined temple, the young man saw the boy running out, but the two cloth bags in his hands were gone. I was puzzled for a while, so I walked into the ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple is in tatters, with a clay Buddha statue in the central hall, and a tablecloth table in front of the Buddha statue is covered with dust. Window lattices were broken everywhere, and spider silk was all over the windows. Strips of cloth hung everywhere.

Did he hide something somewhere here?

The young man didn't bother to rummage through it, and was about to turn away. Suddenly, there was a murmuring sound under the table in front of the Buddha statue.

The young man cautiously approached the table, slowly reached over and pulled up the corner of the tablecloth and flipped it open. I saw a man and a woman, two children about three or four years old, squatting inside, eating with relish, and there were two bags of things next to them, which were the two cloth bags in the boy's hand just now.

Seeing the stranger coming, the two children stopped chewing in their mouths and moved back at the same time, looking at the young man with big innocent eyes in fear.

The little girl looked at the young man and then at the boy, and asked in fear, "Brother, who is he?"

The little boy looked at the young man in the same ignorance and shook his head. "I don't know. ”

The little girl asked in a weak voice again, "Is Brother Instant Moon arrested?

The little boy put down the food in his hand, hugged the little girl, and looked at the stranger timidly, "I don't know either." ”

The little girl dropped the food in her hand and began to cry. "I don't want Brother Instant Moon to be arrested, I don't want Brother Instant Moon to be arrested. ”

Seeing the little girl crying, the young man suddenly lost his claim. Hurriedly said: "Don't cry, I'm not here to arrest you, I'm your brother's friend." ”

The little girl looked at the stranger, then at the little boy, and stopped crying, "Really?"

The young man usually looked cold, but he did not feel pity in front of the two children. "Really, your brother will come back after a wait. ”

"Are you the same victim as we are?" asked the little girl, curiously staring at her bright eyes.

The young man seemed to understand something, "No, I just know your brother, he has something to do, and he will come back later, and tell me to come and see you first." ”

"Wait, what's the time?" the little boy asked innocently.

"Come out first, don't stay in there all the time. ”

The little girl said firmly: "But Brother Instant Moon said that if he doesn't come back, we can't go out." ”

"It's okay, you guys come out first. ”

The two children glanced at each other before slowly emerging from the table.

After some chatting, the young lad found out. This year, there has been a drought in many places, and people are dying of hunger everywhere. The parents of the two children took them away from their hometowns, begged everywhere, and gave them all the food they had, and eventually the two adults starved to death, leaving the children alone.

They continued to beg on the streets, but they received very little food. In addition, the city was closed to the victims of the disaster on the grounds of safety, saying that it was to avoid riots. No wonder they said that there were many droughts and people everywhere, but they and the old Taoist priest did not see a few. Originally, it was forbidden to let the victims of the disaster into the city, and it seems that the same is true in other cities. The young man couldn't help but be moved.

With the ban in place, they are even more unable to find food. Just when they were starving to death, they met the brother they talked about.

According to them, as soon as the brother whom they did not know had food, he would give it to them first, and then he would start eating it when they were full.

The little girl said proudly: "Brother is smart, those adults have been deceived by him, and they don't know what is going on when they are deceived, but it is interesting." My brother went to steal the dessert from the outsider, and so many of them never caught him. Maybe it's the nature of a child, but not long after they got to know each other, the little girl began to talk endlessly. Don't forget to stuff dessert in your mouth.

The young man suddenly remembered something, "You guys hide in the table first, my brother hasn't come back, you don't want to come out." ”

"Why?" asked the little boy.

"Didn't your brother say that if he didn't come back, you couldn't come out. ”

"Yes. The little girl nodded heavily, and then asked, "When will Brother Instantaneous Moon come back?"

"I'll go find him now, you guys hide first, and then you come out when he and I come back, okay?"

"Good. The little boy obediently pulled his sister under the table, and suddenly pulled the tablecloth and poked his head out: "Then you must come back quickly." ”

The young man nodded heavily, "We'll be back soon, don't come out until we come back." ”

The little boy nodded and put down the tablecloth.

The young man straightened up, looked around, and ran out of the ruined temple. Ran away in the direction the boy had run. Because the old Taoist priest had left an imprint in his mind before, no matter where the old Taoist priest was, the young man could sense his position. In addition, he has a good foundation, and his strength is far beyond ordinary people, and the speed of running is extremely fast, I am afraid that it is more than twice that of the boy just now.

It wasn't until he saw the figure of the old Taoist priest and the boy that the young man slowed down, slowly walked up to the old Taoist priest, and told the old Taoist priest what he knew.

When the old Taoist priest understood the actual situation, he unexpectedly asked the boy to jump off the cliff.

The young man didn't stop it, he didn't bother to pay attention to what the old Taoist priest was going to do.

"What's your name?"

The boy said firmly, "Bai Yiyue." Then he turned around and wanted to jump.

The young man had a thought in his heart. 'This is the person the old Taoist priest is looking for'.

"Wait. ”

Hearing the second sentence of 'Wait', the young man became a little impatient, and muttered in his heart: 'What is this old Taoist priest going to do again?'

Bai Xianyue turned around: "What the hell do you want?"

The old Taoist priest smiled: "Then should you return the things you stole back?"

Bai Xianyue suddenly woke up: "Yes." He took out two sweet buns from his bosom. "It's better to be a full ghost than to be a hungry ghost!" he said as he stuffed two sweet buns into his mouth, and snorted defiantly.

Thinking that Bai Xianyue was obviously still a child but took care of those two children like an adult, and now behaved so naughtily, even the young man who had always been cold couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yiyue's two cheeks were stuffed with sweet buns, chewed a few times, and seemed to be unable to chew anything, so she turned around and jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

The old Taoist priest turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of the young man.

After a while, another wisp of green smoke drifted in, and the old Taoist priest slowly appeared with Bai Xianyue in his arms.

Bai Xianyue thrashed desperately in the hands of the old Taoist, puffing up her cheeks because the sweet bun had not yet been swallowed, and shouted vaguely, "What are you going to do?"

The old Taoist priest put down Bai Xianyue and said with a smile: "Do you want to learn my Taoist spells?"

Bai Xianyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she hurriedly spit out the sweet bag in her mouth, "Are you willing to teach me?"

"As long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you. ”

"Really?"

"Then do you want to learn?" the old Taoist priest smiled.

"Think about it, think about it so much, with this spell, what will you worry about food and clothing in the future!"

Bai Xianyue's cold words made the young man almost laugh again.

Old Taoist: "Teaching you spells is not for you to steal things. It is to save the common people and bless the living beings. ”

Bai Xianyue disagreed: "I'm dying of hunger, what are you saving!"

"You're starving to death yourself, but don't you still take care of others?" the old Taoist priest kept smiling from beginning to end.

Bai Xiangyue was stunned......

Broken temple

Bai Xianyue walked in with the old Taoist priest and the young man. "Xiaohua, Xiaohua, I'm back?"

Hearing the call, two children emerged from under the table. Ran to Bai Xianyue and hugged one leg, "Brother Xianyue, you're back!"

Bai Xianyue smiled and squatted down and hugged the two children: "Have you eaten enough?"

"Yes. The boy held the leftovers alof.

"Good. Bai Xianyue walked behind the Buddha statue and walked out after a while, followed by several children. Three girls, five boys. One of the taller boys walked with a limp, seemingly injured in his right foot. As soon as everyone came out, they shouted, "Brother Instantaneous, Brother Instantaneous Moon......." Then he looked warily at two strangers whom he had never seen before.

"It's okay, it's my friend. Bai Xianyue reassured.

The young man was dumbfounded. said: "Little sister, why didn't you tell me that there were so many people just now?"

"Forgot. The little girl stuck out her tongue and behaved mischievously and cutely.

The boy next to him hugged his sister and looked at the young man, "Just now we weren't sure that you were really Brother Instant's friend, what if you came to catch the child and sell it." "The long-term fear makes them very vigilant when they are young.

The young man who said a word was speechless for a while.

"Come, take it and eat it. Bai Yiyue distributed the food in her hands to everyone. Watch as the children devour their food. He turned to the old Taoist priest and said, "They are all victims of the disaster, and their parents left everything they could eat in order to keep them alive, but they starved to death. They had nothing to eat, so they went into the city to steal other people's food, and 'Jingfeng' was caught taking other people's food and discounted their feet. And it's full of children who are caught to do coolies or sold to others. ”

The old Taoist priest took out a piece of silver and called out to the young man, "You go and help buy some food." ”

The young man looked at the old Taoist priest, took the silver and ran out.

The old Taoist priest walked up to the lame boy, and his right hand reached over to touch it, but the boy hurriedly withdrew his right foot, stepped back, and looked at the old Taoist priest in fear.

"It's okay, he knows magic and can heal your leg. Bai Yiyue explained.

The boy still looked at the old Taoist priest in fear, and let the old Taoist priest take his leg and look at it and touch it. I saw the old Taoist priest pick up the dust and gently brush it on his right leg, but he didn't have time to feel it. The old Taoist priest said, "You stand up and walk." ”

The boy timidly stood up, took two steps, seemed to sense something abnormal, took a few more steps, and found that his feet were not lame. Then he ran happily. "Ahh My feet are better......"

The children next to him were all dumbfounded. Excitedly clapped his hands.
