Chapter 39: The Four Seasons Are Out of Order

The night passed quickly, and the next morning after breakfast, the convoy started again.

According to the scheduled route, 300 kilometers have been driven by the time the sun sets, and there are less than 600 kilometers left from the whole area of Long'an District.

The obstruction of the view of driving at night is not conducive to observation, and the main thing is that the living corpses like to come out at night.

With this in mind, Qin Yue began to look for camping spots on both sides of the road, because the roadside adjacent to the urban area was full of rows of faΓ§ade houses.

Qin Yue wanted to cross this section of the road and look for a campsite, but He Shan found a cement road on the side of the road at this time, and there was a sign with white characters on a blue background erected at the intersection, with the words "Pure Land Temple" written on it.

Qin Yue unfolded the map and found the location of this "Pure Land Temple", which was located at the foot of the mountain, and there was no human gathering place around, and immediately used the walkie-talkie to inform the rear car of the situation.

Everyone agrees that it is riskier to travel through the suburbs at this time of year, and even if there is a danger here, it will not be dumpling.

After the discussion was decided, the convoy drove into the concrete road in turn, and after passing through an intersection, the road surface turned into a dirt road, and after nearly ten minutes of bumping along the dirt road, they finally saw the ruined ancient temple at the foot of the mountain.

There are scattered sparse trees all around, most of which have shown withered yellow, and the mountains behind them are bare and bare.

"What season is this, why are the leaves falling?" He Shan looked around curiously.

Qin Yue also frowned, and through his observations along the way, he found that the closer to Longping District, the lower the temperature, and the more serious the corresponding vegetation withering.

It's only the beginning of September, and according to the seasons of this world, their current location is in the central region, and it stands to reason that the trees should not die so early, and the temperature will not be as low as it is now......

Could this be a harbinger of the onset of nuclear winter?

No, the nuclear winter effect is the result of the nuclear explosion, and now that the authorities have not launched the "Great Purge Program", how can it happen in advance?

As soon as he thought of this, He Shan stopped with one foot on the brakes, and Qin Yue was suddenly pulled back to reality.

"Brother Qin has arrived." He Shan pulled up the handbrake and looked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue leaned over and looked, at this time the sky had become dark, and only the outline of the temple could be seen through the car window.

The two wooden doors are ajar, and the faint light of the sky illuminates the interior of the temple, and a large four-legged square incense burner can be vaguely seen.

Qin Yue retracted his gaze and groaned, grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked the people in the back car not to get out of the car first, and when he heard the response, he explained to He Shan, "Shanzi, you stay to protect everyone, Brother Xiao Zhuang and I will go in, and let everyone get out of the car after confirming that it is safe." ”

He Shan nodded, "Safety first." ”

"Don't worry." After Qin Yue finished speaking, he and Xiao Zhuang got out of the car, and when he looked back, he saw the fat man walking down from the bus with a fully automatic with his uninjured arm.

Qin Yue shook his hand at him, "It's inconvenient to have too many people." ”

The fat man kept coming over and made an aiming motion with one hand, "Look, let's shoot with one hand." ”

"It's useless to have a lot of people," Qin Yue looked at him, "That's it, you stay and answer." ”

"No, I ......"

Without waiting for the fat man to finish speaking, Qin Yue turned around and walked away, and the fat man muttered a sentence and asked He Shan for a cigarette.

Qin Yue and the others each turned on their flashlights and came to the half-opened courtyard door, shone inside, and stepped into the threshold.

The area of the temple is very small, there are three wings on the left and right, and in the middle is a large hall, and under the steps directly facing the entrance of the temple is a four-legged square tripod incense burner, which is filled with unburned broken incense.

In order to save time, Qin Yue and Xiao Zhuang checked out the side rooms one by one.

When Qin Yue pushed open the door of the last chamber, he smelled a very heavy smell of sea, and when he turned on the flashlight, he found that it was the kitchen, the smell of seawater came from two large bundles of dried kelp, and next to the dried kelp, there were three barrels of ten catties of edible oil, five bags of fifty catties of refined flour, in addition, Qin Yue also found some dried beans and sweet potato vermicelli and dried vegetables such as vermicelli and dried bean skin, and also found some condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Qin Yue set aside five days' worth of food according to the head, and the others were all stuffed into the storage space.

Qin Yue was in a good mood at this time, with these foods, everyone could have a full meal tonight, although the previous food was ruined a lot by Jin Sanyi and his gang, but now these ingredients are much stronger than those fast foods in terms of taste and nutrition if they are cooked food.

Then Qin Yue found the bathroom in a small door next to him, unscrewed the shower and tried to see that there was still hot water, which surprised Qin Yue, because he didn't find an electric water heater or anything like that in the room.

In the world where he lives, if you want to take a hot shower, you need to use electricity in addition to charcoal, and now in this case, the power supply has long been interrupted, and the charcoal boiling water also needs someone to take care of it, and it is impossible to spray hot water in the shower when there is no one and no electricity.

Puzzled at the moment, Xiao Zhuang walked in, looked at the steaming water line, and then looked at Qin Yue's reaction, "This is a solar water heater, it doesn't need electricity." ”

"Solar?" Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly scratched his head and smiled, "I said I didn't see the water heater." ”

"You found that pile of stuff out there?" Xiao Zhuang didn't answer him.

"Ah...... Yes, next door is the kitchen, so we can have a decent meal today. Qin Yue took the opportunity to turn off the shower and changed the topic, "What did you find over there?" ”

"It's all a monk's house." Xiao Zhuang shook his head, "There is only the main hall left." ”

The two walked out of the bathroom while talking, and after hearing Xiao Zhuang's words, Qin Yue turned his head to look at the main hall of the black hole.

The doors of the three large halls were closed, and large locks hung between the knockers.

The scene in front of him couldn't help but remind Qin Yue of the family they had met before, and they were thinking about whether they could enter or not, but they saw that Xiao Zhuang had already climbed the steps first, and before Qin Yue could see the padlock on the middle door, it fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Qin Yue hurriedly reminded, and at the same time pulled out his pistol and chased after him.

"What?" Xiao Zhuang looked back at Qin Yue.

"This is very similar to the room we encountered before...... Qin Yue turned on his flashlight and shone it into the main hall, except for a few tall Buddha statues, nothing unusual was found.

"There will always be danger, and peace is everywhere." Xiao Zhuang said meaningfully and stepped into the main hall.

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he also stepped in.

Facing the door of the hall is a tall statue of the Bodhisattva, with a Dharma protector boy on each side, occupying almost half of the space of the main hall, more than a dozen silk prayer flags hanging from the beams of the black hole, and the huge offering table is full of moldy tributes and incense burners.

On the walls on the left and right are the portraits of the eighteen Arhats, and there are small offering tables one after another on the lower sides.

The two then walked behind the statue of the Bodhisattva, and came out without finding anything unusual.

"It seems that I am overly worried...... Qin Yue looked up at the solemn Bodhisattva of Faxiang, there was no faith in the world before him, and his understanding of religion only stayed in books, but he didn't expect that when he really looked up at the Buddha statue in front of him, he would inexplicably give birth to a sense of awe in his heart that he had never felt before.

"It's too quiet...... Xiao Zhuang looked around, and at that moment, a drop of slime fell on his shoulder.

Xiao Zhuang wiped his hands and smelled it, and his face changed greatly, "Run!" ”

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed Xiao Zhuang to the outside of the hall, as soon as his front foot stepped out of the threshold, a strong wind hit behind his head!
