Chapter 10: The Temple of Thunder and Rain
"Let's hurry." The boy stood beside her, the heat subsided, and his strength had recovered a lot.
Jun Chaoyun nodded, in her previous life, she found this road hidden in a mass grave when she was running away from marriage, and she needed to cross mountains and streams, and she also encountered snakes, insects, and beasts along the way.
But it is undoubtedly the safest, and the Beirong army will not be able to find this road for a while.
The Chen family was in a mess, and after Chen Fu came back from inquiring outside, his face was panicked, "Quick, let's escape......
Originally, he went out to take a look because of the noise outside, but he didn't expect the surrounding neighbors to flee with their burdens, and finally dragged people to ask, only to know that the Beirong army was about to break the city.
"Son, what's going on outside?"
"Jinguancheng can't hold ......."
Tian immediately couldn't sit still, "Boss, let's pack up our things and run." ”
The others had long been frightened by the news and rushed to pack their things in a panic.
"Mi'er, you've read, where are we going now?" Chen Dafu was still a little calm and looked at his youngest son.
"Let's go to the capital." Chen Fu said firmly.
Once again, fate pushes everyone to an unknown end.
Half a month later.
The soles of her shoes have been worn out for days, and the figures of several people have gradually lost weight, especially Jun Chaoyun, who is already thin, and she has not dared to stop for too long in the past few days, and her eyes are sunken.
Zhaozhou has been lost one after another, and there are many displaced people, and along the way, Jun Chaoyun has also met many refugees who fled from Jinguan City.
Compared with them, she and Chu Li's situation was much better, she had prepared a lot of food and medicine, and although her body was dirty, she was fortunately not hungry.
The sky was getting overcast, a precursor to a storm.
"Find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible." Chu Li stopped.
"There's a lot of water around here, so we must have arrived in Los Angeles." Jun Chaoyun guessed.
Los Angeles is the largest city in the whole Zhaozhou, built along the water, and it is said that the whole city leads live water into the city.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "Do you know the way?" ”
Jun Chaoyun shook his head, "I always wanted to run, so I always thought of a way to inquire about the way to Qingzhou. "This is nonsense, in the previous life, because Chu Li was too seriously injured, they stayed in Los Angeles.
"You guessed it right, Los Angeles should be the safest place in the whole of Zhaozhou now." Chu Li affirmed.
"We don't have much dry food......
Jun Chaoyun understood what he meant, if it weren't for the fact that Luocheng was a must-see city in Qingzhou, she didn't want to stay.
In the previous life, Luocheng had the natural barrier of the Wuding River and did not lose it, but Beirong and the Longyin army fought the last battle here, with heavy casualties and many people, although Zhaozhou was finally saved, but where the Beirong army passed, burned, killed and looted, there were thrilling dangers everywhere, and there were not many people who survived.
"Go to the Temple of Water." The boy's voice was calm. Los Angeles is close to the water, and the most important thing is the water temple for blessings.
Jun Chaoyun followed behind Chu Li, looking at Chu Li's back, the fear of many days relaxed for a moment, and only by his side did he have a moment of peace of mind in his heart.
went around and around, but Chu Li really found an abandoned temple.
A loud thunder sounded in the sky, Jun Chaoyun ran towards the temple after Chu Li, and as soon as he stepped in, the rain of beans fell to the ground.
"It's okay, it's good that it didn't rain." Jun Chaoyun gasped heavily.
Chu Li looked around the temple, "I'll rest here tonight." ”
Under the thunder and lightning, Jun Chaoyun lit the fire fold, and the faint candlelight flickered, adding a little weirdness to the broken statue of the water god Niangniang.
"There's no rain here." Jun Chaoyun found a dry place and turned his back to the idol.
Chu Li lit the fire, and brought hay from behind and spread it on the ground.
Under the firelight, the young man's side face was particularly serious.
Jun Chaoyun looked at him and was happy in his heart, the young man's injuries were treated in time, and he did not meet the rebels, coupled with Jun Chaoyun's perseverance in feeding, the wounds slowly healed.
If you are healthy, you will be able to live longer.
Jun Chaoyun took out the dry noodle cake from the baggage, dipped it in some water and baked it on the fire for a while.
"Let's have something to eat!" The little girl handed him the hot bread in her hand.
Chu Li took it familiarly, and through the past few days, he was no longer as cautious as he was at the beginning.
Seeing that he didn't eat for a long time, Jun Chaoyun was also a little embarrassed: "This cake is really not delicious, you bear with it first, and when you get to Qingzhou, I will buy you a sugar gourd to eat." ”
"Sugar gourd?" Chu Li couldn't help laughing.
The little girl's eyebrows were crooked, and she looked at him with expectation in her eyes.
Her way of coaxing people is still the same as when she was a child, and there is no novelty at all.
Jun Chaoyun leaned over, "Don't worry, I have money." She patted her chest and promised.
In her opinion, Ah Li in front of her is tsundere, and he must like the sugar gourd so delicious.
The girl's eyes looked at her brightly, and Chu Li suddenly felt a little eyesore.
will agree to take her with him, just because of the cover of his identity, a lone teenager will inevitably arouse suspicion and attract the attention of those people.
Helping her a few times, that little mercy was nothing more than his possessiveness of his prey.
Just like those wild cats, life and death are in their own hands, and others are not qualified to touch them, if they get out of control one day, they will be stripped of skin and bones with a knife, and there will be no bones left.
"Rest early." He grimaced and turned away from him.
Is this shy? Jun Chaoyun touched his chin and was very sure.
The sound of the rain was getting louder and louder, and Jun Chaoyun was sleepy, and he just wanted to rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was a noise outside.
"Look, there's a temple here."
"Quick, let's go in and take shelter from the rain....."
Jun Chaoyun looked over, and it was a few people who had fled.
The leader was a square-faced man, "There are people here, come in with confidence." ”
When the man saw Jun Chaoyun, he saw that it was a thin little girl and didn't speak.
The old woman on the side found a place to sit down, "Mother, you can rest here for a while!" ”
"Ah Sheng, let's go into the city when the rain stops." The old woman instructed her son.
The man with this square face is named Ah Sheng, and he listened to his mother's nagging and replied very patiently: "Got it, mother." ”
The lady with the turban also followed him with two small radish heads, and saw Jun Chaoyun looking at them and smiling gently at her.
It was a family, Jun Chaoyun breathed a sigh of relief.
The more displaced people, the more likely they are to become bandits. Along the way, she was wary of passing refugees.
", Lao Tzu said that the sun is not good today." A rugged male voice came.
"Big brother, big brother has a temple here."
"Third child, keep up with ......"
Several people rushed in, led by a big man with a body full of meat, followed by a short man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and as soon as they came in, they glanced at Jun Chaoyun and them. The tallest one who came in last was the most robust and young of them.
The person who came was not good, and Jun Chaoyun immediately became vigilant.
Fortunately, she was dressed in coarse cloth and short, and her figure was thin and thin, and she looked like she couldn't eat enough all year round.
The short man looked at it a few times and was not interested.
When Chu Li heard this, he no longer closed his eyes and recuperated, and quietly moved his position to cover Jun Chaoyun's knots.
They were originally close to the statue of the water god, and their vision was even darker further inside, and Jun Chaoyun also felt that it was more appropriate to avoid their sight.
"Get out of the way....." The fierce man walked in front of the square-faced man.
The two children were so frightened that they burst into tears.
"Shut up." Dahan coaxed impatiently as he listened to the cry.
The little lady hugged the two children and shrank beside her husband.
Ah Sheng blocked his wife's anger, but it seemed that people were not good stubble, so he moved his position to them.
The three rogues swaggered and sat down by the fire.
"Big brother, look ......" The short man leaned over to him.
This big man with a full face noticed that there was a delicate little lady behind the square-faced man.
The young woman was dressed in a green cloth headscarf, and although she was an ordinary peasant woman, her face was delicate.
When she looked the little woman's waist up and down, her eyes were full of lust.
The little woman touched his lewd eyes, hugged the child tightly and quickly lowered her head and hid behind her husband's back.
The short man rolled his eyes and saw the baggage they were hiding behind them.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the people in the ruined temple, the two young men in the corner, one with his back to them, and his face could not be seen clearly, and the other was short and thin, and he didn't have any silver at first glance.
However, there is an old mother and a wife and daughter, and at first glance, they fled with the whole family's property.
"Big brother, we haven't opened meat for a few days." The short man lowered his voice.
