I don't know why Lu Yezi was cautious, so Liang Shiming also followed the arrangement and carefully followed him and walked lightly towards the small temple.

When he walked not far from the beggar, Lu Yezi gave a salute with one hand, and preached highly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”

The beggar in front of him was sloppy and covered his face, and when he suddenly heard someone talking, he couldn't help but be startled, and suddenly raised his head to reveal a face full of rotten sores and panicked.

"You, who are you?" asked the beggar in panic when he saw two strangers covered in mud arrive.

"This benefactor, I am a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, and this son traveled here, but unexpectedly fell into the quagmire, and lost his way in the forest, so I came to ask for help. Lu Yezi walked up and said.

"We drank a bowl of water, asked for directions, and left immediately. Liang Shiming added tightly, inevitably being glared at by Lu Yezi again, signaling him to speak less.

After seeing the faces of the two of them clearly, the beggar seemed to be no longer afraid, and hurriedly got up and said, "Yuan, it turned out to be the Taoist master." Come, come and sit down. With that, he hurriedly took out two wooden ties behind him and put them in front of him.

Lu Yezi walked up first, and after taking a look, he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual, and sat down with Liang Shiming.

"Is this the temple where the donor lives?" Lu Yezi asked.

It seemed that he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, or that he had low self-esteem and a sore face, so the beggar hung his head and said, "Well, yes." ”

Lu Yezi asked again: "You are alone, or ......?"

"Nature is not alone. Hearing Lu Yezi ask, the beggar turned to a hundred times more confident, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to the temple, "Lady, there is a guest." ”

Hearing what the beggar said, not only Lu Yezi, but even Liang Shiming was surprised.

As if he was puzzled that this unkempt beggar could actually start a family, he saw Lu Yezi pouting at himself with a slight sourness.

After a while, the two of them smelled a faint aroma, and then they saw a young woman walking out of the temple gate.

This woman is in the prime of her life, with fair skin and a sweet face, which looks out of place with the ruined temple and beggars in front of her.

Seeing that this beautiful woman was actually the wife of a beggar with sores in front of him, Liang Shiming couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the moment, speechless for a while.

The woman saw two people sitting in front of the door, covered in mud and water, sloppy and unruly, at this time the silkworm eyebrows were slightly constricted, and there was a slight displeasure on her face.

But the beggar looked happy, and after guiding Lu Yezi, he said to the woman: "Lady, these two have lost their way in the forest, and they came here by mistake, saying that they are asking for some water to drink, and they will leave when they ask for the way out." It's just that seeing that it's getting late, the husband wants him to stay for the night, but I don't know ......"

At this time, without waiting for the beggar to finish speaking, the woman said, "The two distinguished guests will sit down for a while, and I will bring water." Then he gave the beggar a look and motioned for him to enter the temple with him.

When the temple door was closed, Liang Shiming whispered: "This beggar...... This man is good, it's getting late now, if he hadn't offered to take him in, you and I would have to sleep in the mountains and forests. ”

Without answering, Lu Yezi twisted his dog oil beard in his hand and said lightly at the temple gate: "There is a problem." ”

"Hmm, what's the problem?" Liang Shiming asked tightly, but he was secretly afraid that Lu Yezi had made a self-righteous mistake and ruined the good things in front of him.

Lu Yezi didn't answer, he clenched his hands and booed, telling Liang Shiming to stop, and then he heard the sound of quarrels coming from behind the temple gate.

"Why not? One outside the door is a monk, the other is a posterity of study, and now that he is lost in the wilderness, we should help each other!"

Then I heard the woman's response, but Didi's whispering was not very real, but she could also hear that she was unwilling to let the two stay.

After some words, at last the beggar made a loud decision to keep the two of them, and then he saw the temple door wide open, and the beggar came out with two bowls of water.

The two hurriedly stood up and took the water bowl, and Lu Yezi took the lead and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." I'm bothering the donor. After drinking the water, we left on our own. ”

expected that what Lu Yezi said was a trick to get away with it, and Liang Shiming didn't speak at this moment, just stood aside to see what he planned.

Listening to Lu Yezi's meaning, it was expected that the two of them had already heard the sound of their conversation with the lady, and the beggar immediately said with shame: "Master Dao must not be too careful. My wife and I live here alone, and we haven't had contact with the outside world for a long time. The lady was kind-hearted, but she was a little timid, and she was a little scared when she saw the living people coming here, and after my kind words and persuasion, she also agreed.

"Hey, no, I am a monk, how can I be strong?" Lu Yezi pretended to shirk again.

"Dao Ye must not think too much! If it is too late today, even if you leave at this time, it will take an hour to get out of the mountains and forests, and it is difficult to walk at night, if you encounter a fierce beast, wouldn't it be my sin?" In a hurry, the beggar grabbed Lu Yezi's sleeve and said, "Now the two of you just have to stay to eat and drink, and bend here for one night." Tomorrow morning, I'll guide you on the road. ”

When the two heard the beggar say the word "on the road", although it was slightly inappropriate, they felt that his knowledge was limited, so they didn't care, so they happily nodded and agreed to stay.

After drinking the water, the two felt hungry, and the beggar hurriedly arranged for the woman to make soup to fill their stomachs.

After eating, the two wanted to find some water to wash the mud on their bodies, but there was only a bucket of drinking water in the temple, and there was no water source nearby, so they had to give up, so they had to rest early and hurry early tomorrow.

The two then begged into the temple and saw that there was only one room inside, and now the altar offering table was no longer there, and although the four places were simple, they were also neatly organized.

There was a wooden bed on the left hand side of the temple against the wall, and the beggar took out a few bundles of straw from under the bed, spread a straw bunk along the opposite wall, and found a few pieces of clothing for the two to use as a cover.

Then the beggar called Liang Shiming again, and put the bamboo pole for drying clothes outside the temple in the middle, which was used as a shield.

Tired all the way, at this time Liang Shiming just lay down with his clothes, that is, he felt sore, although he also felt the faint cold under the straw mat, but it was always a hundred times better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Liang Shiming was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by Lu Yezi with his elbow, and saw that his mouth was signaling that he would sleep later, so he nodded as if he didn't understand.

After a while, the oil lamp went out, and after a while, I heard the snoring of the beggar next door.

Expecting that his husband and wife were already asleep, Lu Yezi signaled Liang Shiming to sleep, and he also covered his clothes and fell asleep.

Fatigue hit, and the two soon fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but in the fog, Liang Shiming was suddenly disturbed by a voice, and felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and opened his eyes suddenly......

I was shocked to see the beggar standing by the straw mat with a lamp in one hand and a firewood knife in the other!

Liang Shiming suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, but he saw that Lu Yezi was already holding a stick, and before he could make any more movements, he heard a woman's voice and said, "Oh! Why did you commit the 'phantom disease' again!?"

Immediately after that, the beggar's lady turned out from behind the bamboo frame.

It seems that because of the hurry, the woman was only wearing a coat at this time, and her charm was almost unobstructed. At this time, she stepped behind the beggar and slapped him on the shoulder, but when she saw that the beggar seemed to have suddenly woken up, she immediately looked at the people in front of her with frightened eyes, and then looked at the firewood knife in her hand......

"Bang dang!" the firewood knife fell to the ground, and the beggar exclaimed: "I, I, what did I do in my dream......

Seeing that the beggar was frightened at this time, the woman was busy reassuring her.

Then the woman seemed to see that her husband had disturbed the two guests, and she couldn't help it, so she hurriedly apologized to Lu Yezi and Liang Shiming, and then explained the reason to the two.

The woman said that her husband had been babbling every night when he had sores on his face, and then his illness became more serious and he suffered from this phantom disease.

With this disease, every time in a dream, he will unconsciously get up and get out of bed, or fight or make trouble, or cry or laugh, sometimes even dream for miles, and even wander in the forest several times, almost being killed by fierce beasts.

I don't know if it was caused by the stuffiness in the room, or if it was in a hurry, at this time, under the candlelight, the woman's face was full of shame and shame, her cheeks were crimson, and the pink neck was also dripping with sweat, and the faint body fragrance actually attacked secretly.

Feeling that his face was hot, Liang Shiming hurriedly lowered his head, thinking back to what the woman said, he was surprised and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, but the poor couple had a difficult life, but unfortunately contracted this strange disease.

Thinking of this, Liang Shiming was about to ask Lu Yezi if he could heal, but Fang and he raised his head, but saw that Lu Yezi was like a spectator at this moment, not saying a word from beginning to end, only staring at the woman in front of him with his eyes, his eyes seemed to be two steel hooks that were about to be cut into the woman's flesh.

"Lu Dao Chief!"

After Liang Shiming's fierce push, Lu Yezi came back to his senses, and immediately said vaguely: "Oh, yes, yes......" He paused for a moment, and said, "According to the poor road, it is better for Mrs. to let him work less at night." ”

When the woman heard this, her cheeks turned red, and she didn't answer, so she immediately bowed shyly, picked up the firewood knife on the ground, and helped the beggar back to bed.

After the oil lamp was extinguished, the woman's scolding was heard again, and then there was no sound.

At this moment, Liang Shiming asked in a low voice: "Daoist Lu, why do you say that you have to work less at night?"

"What do you know!?" Lu Yezi smirked, and then urged him to go to sleep quickly.

After this toss, Liang Shiming had no sleepiness at this time, but he just lay down, but he still felt tired, and he fell asleep again after a while.

He wanted to sleep until dawn, but he had just fallen asleep, but he was woken up by the internal urgency, and heard the sound of the beggar next door snoring.

The moon was blazing, and it could be clearly seen by the moonlight, at this time, Lu Yezi was leaning against the wall with his eyes open, and his eyes fell on the bamboo rack for drying clothes, as if he could see the couple on the bed through the clothes.

Liang Shiming was strange, and was about to get up to ask for clarification, but saw that Lu Yezi stood up suddenly at this time, and then carried an iron rod in his hand, walked lightly around the bamboo frame for drying clothes, and walked straight towards the wooden bed.

In a panic, Liang Shiming quietly turned his head to look, but saw Lu Yezi walking straight to the end of the bed, suddenly reaching into the quilt with one hand, grabbing the woman's ankle and pulling it to the end of the bed.

The woman's little feet were caught at the beginning, and she couldn't help but sneer, and then suddenly woke up and sat up, strangely, after seeing Lu Yezi, the woman didn't make a sound.

After seeing Lu Yezi gesturing at her, the woman obediently slowly descended from the end of the bed.

Instead, Lu Yezi grabbed her wrist, opened the gate, and ran out of the temple.

On the bed, the beggar was left alone, still snoring like thunder.
