Chapter 32: The Footfall of the City God Temple

"The village chief is back, the village chief is back."

I don't know who shouted, everyone looked over, but it wasn't Gu Fugui and the others who came back, they were just trembling, and they looked like they had been hit hard.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

"There are demons, there are demons..."

Yang Taichang, the patriarch surnamed Yang, suddenly shouted, and the villagers looked at each other.

"Village Chief, what the hell is going on? How does Uncle Yang say that there are demons? ”

Gu Fugui sighed and told everyone about the demons they had seen with their own eyes.

It turned out that a few people came out of the town, and it was already dark, but they suddenly saw two big night pearls moving rapidly in the dark night ahead.

Just when everyone rubbed their eyes and tried to see clearly, they felt that a big thing was carrying a strong wind and howling by, and there was nothing in an instant.

The time was so short that they thought they were too tired to see it wrong at first.

But it didn't take long for the same thing to appear again, and this time they could see it clearly.

The thing's eyes were as bright as the pearls of the night, and it flew in the darkness, whistling past them like a raging wind again, and disappeared in an instant.

"Is it true?"

Several others nodded.

One person may see it as a fake, but if several people see it at the same time, it will certainly not be fake.

Suddenly I felt that the surroundings were gloomy. The worship of mystical things in this era was the most devout, so everyone was afraid

"Is it because there are demons, so we have this disaster in Dahe Village?"

"Village chief, what can we do, can't we all survive?"

"Will he eat people..."

The more he talked, the more panicked he became, as if the monster was about to come out and eat people.

???

Li Wei: ......

Are you sure they're not talking about a snowmobile that they drive?

I really didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long, so Li Wei hurriedly interrupted.

"Village Chief, you just went to the town, I don't know what the town chief said."

When Gu Fugui heard this, his expression became even more embarrassed, and he replied after a while.

"Mayor Mare's gone."

Yes...

"Not only that, there is a risk of landslides in Dabei Mountain, and almost all the people in the town are gone."

"And where are we staying tonight?"

Gu Fugui sighed, he was also worried.

"We're not going to freeze to death here tonight."

The villagers were even more panicked, and the scene was full of wailing, thinking that the imperial court would take care of it, but the mayor of the town was gone, who else would take care of it?

After pondering for a moment, Gu Fugui said.

"Go to the county, there is no one in the town, there will always be someone in the county."

"But what about forty miles from here to Ji'an County?"

Li Wei frowned, in this kind of weather, everyone wears cotton clothes and shoes, and walks forty miles in the dark? It's so sour to think about it.

Then it has to be good weather, quickly asked how the weather is in the system, if there is a snowstorm, rush at night, it is absolutely not possible.

As soon as I asked the system, after twelve o'clock in the evening, the north wind was level five, minus forty degrees plus the north wind level five, and I had to walk outdoors, which was crazy, and Li Wei, as a mortal, was sure that she would not do this kind of extreme challenge.

I looked at the time, half past eight in the evening, and there were still three and a half hours left, and I had to find a place where I could take shelter from the wind and snow before that.

I asked the system again and learned that there was a city god temple on the Baima slope ten miles away from here, which could be used.

Li Wei called Boss Gu over and whispered a few words in his ear, Boss Gu nodded, and went to tell Gu Fugui.

Gu Fugui of the City God Temple in Baimapo knows it, and it is also the only way to go to the county seat, and it is not far from them, although it may not be windy in the second half of the night, and he does not plan to take the whole village to rush overnight, after all, there are old and young, if you don't rest, it is easy to have problems, so you have to find a place to rest and rest halfway.

"Folks, everyone hold on a little longer, let's rest at the Baimapo City God Temple tonight."

The group walked slowly in the snowy night with torches, and it had been almost four hours since they escaped, and everyone had not drunk a sip of water or eaten a mouthful of food, they were all thirsty and tired.

Lin Dahong and Li Wei swapped to hug the second girl, Gu Boss hugged the eldest girl, and the fifth child was still very weak, so he could only lie on the cart and cover it with a quilt.

In this way, Gu Laosi was very hard, not only to drag things, but also to drag a person, fortunately, Gu Lao Er and Gu Lao San were on the side to help push.

The hardest thing is Dahua, whose body is still very weak, and after walking for so long on such a cold day, he is cold and hungry.

Li Wei was afraid that Dahua would fall, so she secretly took a piece of chocolate from the system and gave it to Dahua.

"This is a special sugar cake given to me by Dr. Tao, to replenish energy, you can eat a piece."

Dahua took it and glanced at Li Wei gratefully.

Seeing that Dahua didn't suspect it at all after eating it, Li Wei simply sent a piece by herself, anyway, she told them that they were a special sugar cake made by the doctor, and the chocolate had a bitter taste, and the credibility was quite high.

After two and a half hours, a group of people finally arrived at the Baimapo City God Temple, which was built on a small slope of about 100 meters, which was quite large, but because the temple was vacant, it was in disrepair.

However, even though it was in disrepair, when they arrived, the Chenghuang Temple was already occupied, and they were villagers from Xiaokang Village and Dakang Village near Shima Town.

A city god temple, people poured into three villages at once, and the room was naturally not enough.

The situation of Dakang Village and Xiaokang Village is different from that of Dahe Village, their village is still there, and the reason why they came out is because they are worried about the collapse of Dabei Mountain behind them.

Some of them plan to go to their relatives' houses to take refuge, some are going to the county seat, and some are planning to stay in this city god temple and go back directly when the danger is over.

Therefore, unlike the villagers of Dahe Village, who had just lost their homeland and had a deep hatred, the people in these two villages looked relatively relaxed.

Gu Fugui took several patriarchs in the village to discuss with the village chiefs of Xiaokang Village and Dakang Village, hoping to move a little place for the people of Dahe Village to live.

Li Wei saw that the wind was starting to rise, and Gu Fugui hadn't asked for a room for Dahe Village, so he simply took out a piece of oilcloth from the system, and then pretended to take it out of the back basket.

Then let Gu Boss go to the nearby bamboo garden to cut a bamboo, cut it into four sections to support the oilcloth, and then pressed the bottom with stones, so as to form a shed, somewhat similar to a modern simple tent.

Li Wei set up the tarpaulin shed in a remote corner. This way, even if there is a strong wind in the second half of the night, it should not be much of a problem.

"Mother, where did your tarpaulin come from?" Gu Lao Wu, who had already woken up, looked at the oilcloth and asked curiously.

"Mother saw that it was snowing, I bought it at the grocery store, I didn't expect it to be used, I still have a piece here, pad it on the ground."

Li Wei said as she took a piece of oilcloth from the basket she was carrying things and put it on the ground.

In this era, there is already an oilcloth process, and she is not afraid of everyone's suspicion, and her oilcloth is taken out of the system, and the windproof ability is very strong.

The ground was padded with an oilcloth, Li Wei put the old quilt on the oilcloth, and then let Dahua lie down to rest, Erhua, Daya, Erya, the third and fourth also sat down, and then took out two new quilts, one for Dahua to cover, and one for others to put on their laps.

Everyone was excited, Li Wei's back basket was full of good things.

Li Wei said that these were bought together with cotton clothes, and everyone did not doubt it, and praised Li Wei for her foresight.

Lin Dahong set up the pot, melted the snow water, boiled some boiling water for everyone, and then cooked some porridge.

The big house is settled down temporarily.

The other people in Dahe Village did not have such a complete set of things as Li Wei, so they could only coax under the eaves, and when they saw that Li Wei's family quickly set up a greenhouse, they were envious and jealous.

"Sister-in-law, do you have too much oilcloth? Give me a piece? Wu Damei asked, licking her face.

"Nope."

Wu Damei pursed her lips, very unhappy, and said sourly.

"It's still my sister-in-law who is smart and brings everything, unlike us who are only pitifully frozen in the cold wind."

Having said that, the body is very honest, with Gu Dazhuang, Gu Qingshan's brothers and sisters hid outside the shed, and they could let the shed help them carry the wind.

Not only that, but even the third room of the Gu family, as well as the old man and Mrs. Gu, who had just fought with the Gu family's big house, also came outside the shed.

There was no way, the wind gradually picked up, and it was really too cold to sit in an unobstructed place around it, and there was no place under the eaves, so only the shed built of the oilcloth could be avoided.

In addition, Lin Dahong was cooking porridge outside the shed again, and there was still heat when the fire was roasting.

Lin Dahong was also enthusiastic, and when he saw that there were many people, he boiled the snow and let everyone drink hot water, although it was not porridge, but for the hungry and cold people, a bowl of hot water was also good.

"Anbang's family, it's still good for you, there is such a shed."

"Our family is full of mothers-in-law and thoughtful." Lin Dahong lowered his head and whispered.

"Although this Gu mother-in-law is quite unreasonable, she manages the family well, and at this time, the whole village is fully prepared for their family."

......

At this moment, Mrs. Qian came running.

"Siwei family, go quickly, your second child has been beaten."
