The snow is endless, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the black earth! The clouds are so low that even in the daytime, there is not much light! The wind has slowly stopped, but the snow is still falling, and I don't know how long it will last! The girls thought it was funny, and ran outside to play in the snow, and felt that it was cold, and then they went back inside to make a fire! Their faces and hands were red from the cold, but they were still smiling happily!

Don't look at the dilapidated Huatuo Temple, but under such extreme weather, it is also very effective, saving people in many dangers, can show its true value! However, it is still quite dangerous, after all, the snow is so big, a lot of snow, it is easy to crush the top! Xiao Yi did not dare to be careless, every once in a while, he had to climb up from the outside and knock down some of the snow! Of course, every time Miss Liu would come over to help, and never complain about being tired!

The snow was so great that even though it was only one day, there was waist-high snow! The white expanse around it was breathtaking! The clouds were still there, and there was no direct sunlight, and the temperature was already extremely low, and it was not a few days, I was afraid that it would not be clean! The girls were still interesting at the beginning, but if they played a few more times, they would be annoyed, except for the snow, they didn't know the way to come and go, and several people were trapped in this temple, but they really couldn't go anywhere!

Therefore, the best way now is to sit still, consume less, eat less, and then you can hold on for a while longer!

It's really boring to stay here, but fortunately there is Tong Lu here, telling jokes to pass the time! Of course, a few people are also planning the next action arrangement, and when the weather allows, they will slowly find their way! Miss Liu is no longer so anxious, for Xiao Yi and the others, it is just a few days of leisure! Xiao Yi also knows that there will be many difficulties in the future, but you have to prepare well!

For a few days, the sun has not come out, and occasionally there will be a little more snow, Xiao Yi looks at the amount of snow outside, it is actually increasing unabated! Ouch, if it goes on like this, it is not easy to do, after all, most of the firewood has been burned, and there is not much left to eat.

It was dark again, there was no sign of warming, and there was some wind, and it was so cold outside! Xiao Yi repaired the door again, so that it was much better!

Tong Lu shrank by the fire and trembled,

"Ouch, this hell weather, you really want to freeze us to death?!"

In fact, if you don't bring these girls, Xiao Yi and the others are naturally not afraid, even if they are walking in the snow, the two of them are quite experienced!

Xiao Yi hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth and said,

"Girls, it's better to be like this, after dawn, I will go out to explore the way first, and after finding help, I will come back soon!"

Miss Liu said,

"This is also a way, but it is too dangerous for Brother Xiaoyi to go out alone, it is better to let me take care of you together, and take more care of each other!"

Tong Ludao,

"I said Miss Liu, this is not a joke! Brother Xiaoyi go and come back quickly, there is nothing to worry about! Besides, how can you ensure that you can cope with it, but don't drag it out! So, let's just wait here with peace of mind!"

Miss Liu closed her mouth, and the girls were all looking at him, and finally nodded and listened to Tong Lu's words.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and said softly,

"Someone!"

The girls were shocked, and Miss Liu also stood up, holding a knife in her hand that she had picked up from the corpses of those bandits!

Tong Lu asked weakly,

"Is someone really coming?!"

Xiao Yi shook his head and replied,

"Who knows!"

was about to deal with it, but there was no sound outside, Xiao Yi felt that something was not quite right, so he slowly moved to the door, and said,

"Be careful, I'll go out and have a look!"

Xiao Yi lit a torch and came to the door, and removed the door panel, the snow outside was too thick, and he poured in at once! He stretched out his hand to look out, and the wind and snow stopped, but it was still the same cold! Xiao Yi carefully distinguished, and there was no sound from the place where he heard the sound before! Xiao Yi was very sure that he heard someone walking just now, and the sound would never be made by animals such as cows and horses! Xiao Yi glanced back at everyone, nodded seriously, and then stepped forward and stepped into the snow!

It was too dark, and the fire couldn't shine too far, and Xiao Yi still couldn't see anything unusual when he looked around! Xiao Yi walked there for a long time, but still didn't see anything! Only a white expanse in the near distance, and nothing else! Xiao Yi continued to move forward, the snow was too thick, it was really difficult to walk, but he was very sure that the man was in front of him, and he didn't move again! Xiao Yi's long stick stretched straight ahead, and slowly looked!

After walking a short distance, Xiao Yi suddenly noticed something abnormal, and saw that there was a big pit in the snow not far away, and it was obvious that something had come!

"Who, come out quickly, or I'm welcome!"

There was no response over there, Xiao Yi went a little further, and there was a faint hint of knowing the snow road, heh, look at this appearance, didn't someone come over just now! Xiao Yi asked again, but there was still no response, so he quickly moved forward until he was next to the snow pit!

Xiao Yi stretched out the torch, oh, in the snow pit, there was a person lying on his stomach, Xiao Yi was shocked and hurriedly asked,

"I see you, hurry up, or Hugh will blame my men for not showing mercy!"

That's a person, yes, but Xiao Yi asked a few times, but there was still no response! Xiao Yi took a few steps forward, the long stick had already stabbed the other party, and even tried a few times, but there was still no response, it was really strange! Xiao Yi thought to himself, this person didn't know how to come back, did he want to sneak attack himself?! However, with the stick in hand, Xiao Yi was not worried, and walked a few steps forward! Xiao Yi's long stick had already touched the other party, but the person still did not respond, Xiao Yi tried a few times, and it was still the same! Xiao Yi was puzzled, these few stabs are not light, how can ordinary people withstand it, like this, could it be that something can't happen? Xiao Yi leaned forward again, and patted the other party's back with his hand, hey, this person's body is stiff, this is not something that can be pretended! Xiao Yi grabbed the other party's shirt and dragged him away! That man's body was extremely light, even if he fell in the snow, Xiao Yi dragged him away, but it didn't take much effort! After a few strokes, he retreated to the gate of Huatuo Temple!

Xiao Yi shouted and said,

"Lu Lu, come and help, someone is frozen!"

Tong Lu didn't come over, but it was Miss Liu who appeared in front of Xiao Yi! Miss Liu was also shocked when she saw Xiao Yi dragging a person, but after she saw the person's clothes clearly, she came over to help.

"Brother Xiaoyi, who is this?"

Miss Liu asked like this, but where could Xiao Yi answer, so Xiao Yi didn't reply to him, and carried the man back with him! When he got to the fire and roasted, he tried again, this life was saved! Fortunately, the sound of this person's last movement was listened to by Xiao Yi, so he was able to leave this little life!

Everyone gathered around this man and stared at him! Oh, this guy was so thin that he looked very old, I am afraid that he was fifty or sixty years old! He had gray hair, half of his beard was white, and his face was blue, and he should have been frozen! What was shocking was that this guy was wearing only a light shirt, and of course he couldn't hold on to walking in the snow! His body was already bruised, but under the scorching heat of the fire, he slowly regained his color! This guy was a poor old man, and everyone was happy that he could come back to life!

Tong Lu suddenly shouted,

"He's moving, he's moving!"

Xiao Yi took a closer look, and saw that the man's fingers moved, and soon, the man coughed lightly, and his body began to move! After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw the things in front of him, the whole person sat up! This person's eyes were very small, and when he saw everyone, he was also shocked, he glanced in all directions, and then said,

"You, who are you, who are you?!"

Tong Lu crossed his waist and said with a smile,

"Who are you, we want to ask you!"

The man was very embarrassed, twisted into a twisted appearance!

"I, I'm Hua Zhi, you, who are you!"

This old man's face is not very honest, and Xiao Yi also feels that his speech is very unreliable! Tong Lu couldn't stop laughing, and said,

"Hey, Hua, is it possible, you are still the descendant of this Hua Tuo?!"

The old man suddenly jumped up again, but his legs and feet were already frostbitten, and he soon fell to the ground again!

"You guys, why are you here?!"

The corners of Tong Lu's mouth raised, and he replied,

"If we're not here, you'll freeze to death!"

The old man said again,

"I have the blessing of my ancestors, so naturally I can't die!"

Tong Lu laughed and said,

"Then it's better to carry you out again, and tell you to climb slowly!"

The old man is not so aggressive,

"You guys, who are you!"

Tong Lu shook his head helplessly and replied,

"Aren't we just passers-by who are stuck here because of the heavy snowfall?"

The man was skeptical, and asked,

"Really?really a passerby?!"

Tong Lu Huidao,

"You guy, why do you have so many questions, and if you say that you are a passerby, you are a passerby!"

The old man looked at the girls again, and then believed what Tong Lu said, and then said,

"Oh I see, it's snowing so hard!"

Miss Liu suddenly asked him,

"Old man, do you often come to this Huatuo Temple?!"

As soon as the old man heard this, his emotions came up, but he was out of control! He cried like a child, and it was useless for anyone to speak, and everyone was surprised, so they could only wait for him to finish crying! The old man cried for more than half an hour before he wiped away a handful of tears, but his clothes were soaked again, as if he had cried out all the water in his body! After resting, he still couldn't stop sobbing, and it seemed that he was really sad to the extreme!

Everyone looked at him, he finally stopped crying, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly,

"That's right, my surname is Hua, my name is Hua Zhi, and almost everyone in this area knows me! Ten years ago, everyone loved me, and every time they saw me, they would smile! But later, the weather changed, the plague was epidemic, and no one gave me a good face anymore! I once asked many people, but they sneered at me! I was also trying to save people, why did they save me like this?! Later, I learned that they all felt that my ancestors did not protect them, and they built temples for him, but they did not get the protection they deserved, so they attributed everything to this, and I became alone guarding this Huatuo Temple!"

Tong Lu asked,

"Master Hua, according to what you said, you used to be the guardian of this Hua Tuo Temple?!"

Old man Hua was a little displeased, and replied to him,

"Once, I was, now, until I die, I am the guardian of this Huatuo Temple!"

Tong Lu sighed, and said,

"Well, why didn't we see you when we came over?!"

Old man Hua looked behind Tong Lu, and Xiao Yi also saw that he was looking at the stone statue of Hua Tuo, revealing emotions in his eyes, but he couldn't deceive people!

"I grew up here since I was a child, and I am very familiar with everything here! Ten years ago, there were still people who often came to worship and offer incense in Huatuo Temple, but suddenly, a plague broke out in various nearby villages almost at the same time! This plague took thousands of lives from far and near! Although many doctors risked their lives to come to support, the government blocked all places, and very few people were able to come, and the number of doctors was limited, and they could not be saved at all! In the end, only a few hundred people survived! It is precisely because of this plague that no one wants to come to the Huatuo Temple! What is strange is that with the plague epidemic, without warning, the land here also slowly turns black! The people were so frightened that they came to the door one after another! As a descendant of Huatuo, of course I would not let them say that the ancestors were anything bad, so the two sides clashed! However, I was only one person, how could I resist it! I watched them knock down the stone statue and kick the door badly, and I could only shed tears, and I couldn't do anything! After they had finished venting, they came to beat me again! I couldn't bear it anymore and begged desperately for mercy, but they had no scruples and didn't want to stop! I felt that I was going to be beaten to death by them, so I stretched out my hand out of instinct to scratch it, and who knew that I had the firewood knife I was used to in my daily life! I used all my strength to slash at one of them! You believe me, I just want to scare them away and make them stop beating me! I didn't even think about killing them!

Everyone had already guessed what was going to happen, the old man must have struck someone, and it was because of him that he died!

And they did not speak, but they heard him,

"Well, this time, it happened to cut right on the other party's neck, although the wood knife was not sharp enough, but this time it used enough strength, and only this one, it cut off half of the man's neck! The blood sprayed everywhere, and it also made my face! I was stunned, I never thought that I would kill someone, and his companions saw this scene, they also shouted and made trouble! They were also frightened, and hurriedly ran away! When they came back with the official messenger, I still stared at the man blankly! However, at that time, the emperor happened to come to inspect and happened to encounter my case, and out of sympathy, the government exempted me from the death penalty and sentenced me to ten years in prison!"

Tong Lu's eyes widened and he asked,

"So, your old man just came back from prison?!"

The old man nodded, laughed dryly, and replied,

"Yes, ten years, ten whole years, and never left the prison for a single step!

Yes, it's not easy to squat in a prison cell, Xiao Yi and Yao'er squatted for a few days, and then they felt uncomfortable! That is still accompanied by someone, they are so uncomfortable, if it is really like this old man who has been in prison for ten years, it is better to die earlier!

Tong Lu Huidao,

"Old man, after you get out of prison, will you go straight here?!"

The old man had tears in his eyes, and when he nodded, his eyes couldn't contain the tears, and he couldn't stop dripping down! How could he be fifty or sixty years old, braving such a heavy snow, and rushing here in single clothes, if he didn't have firm faith, how could he do it?

The old man looked around affectionately again, and after a long time, he said,

"It's not much different from before I was imprisoned, this temple is quite strong!"

Xiao Yi asked him,

"Since then, this temple has been dilapidated! At most, at most, only some people in a hurry came in to rest, hey, compared to those years, it is really a heaven and an underground!"

The old man struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said,

"Yes, there were too many people to count, and I could see new faces every day! I also heard that some people came from Tokyo just to light a stick of incense with their ancestors! Hehe, I will never see you again in that kind of scene!"

Xiao Yi suddenly saw his legs, as if they had been frozen, and hurriedly asked,

"Old man, your legs ......"

The old man replied,

"Don't get in the way, there's a fire here, just roast it for a while!"

Xiao Yi replied to him,

"How can this work, like this, if you don't heal it well, you have to fall into the root of the disease!"

The old man grinned, and one of his front teeth fell out, so it wasn't weird!

"It's okay, it's okay, it's been ten years, but it's not a little frozen, it's nothing!"

Xiao Yi smiled helplessly, and went with him, maybe as he said, after it warmed up, it would be fine!

Only then did the old man look at everyone carefully and asked,

"Little benefactors, I don't know how you got here? I, I also heard in prison that no one will come to this black soil!

Tong Lu smiled back at him,

"Hey, old man, didn't I just say it, we were all passing by, why don't you believe it?!"

The old man replied,

"Well, if you two talk about it, I can still believe it, but I can't figure it out if I can bring such a good-looking little girl!"

Also, who can take such beautiful women on the road?!

Tong Lu smiled and said,

"Well, old man, I'd like to hear what you think?!"

The old man replied,

"I've seen more than 10 million people, and I've read countless people!

Tong Lu exclaimed, stepped to a short distance in front of the old man, sat down, and said,

"Ouch, old man, you're really amazing, what else can you see, what else can you see?!"

Tong Lu hurriedly said, he was too bored and thought it was funny, so he was so interested in this old man! The old man looked at it carefully for a while, and then replied to him,

"If my guess is right, these girls must have been taken captive!"

Tong Lu slapped his thigh and said,

"Old fairy, ouch, it's really an old fairy, you can see it?!"

The old man explained unhurriedly,

"You can't guess this! You take a good look at them, they are all so simple, how can they come here to suffer hardships at such an age like flowers? Looking at their clothes and decorations, many of them are not ordinary people, how can this rich daughter go out alone? So, they came here by no means!"

Tong Lu clapped his hands and said,

"Awesome, awesome!, then look at this again, what is the solution?!"

Tong Lu pointed at Miss Liu with one hand, and the old man looked at it for a while, but finally shook his head and replied,

"I can't see anything in this girl's eyes, she hides herself very deeply, it's really hard to crack! Hey, I was also the most afraid of meeting this kind of woman back then, it was difficult to be able to move the other party, and she could justify herself!"

Tong Lu said with a smile,

"So, your old man used to tell fortunes back then?!"

The old man smiled awkwardly and replied,

"I'm just a little bit of a skin, and I just occasionally help people look at their faces!"

Xiao Yi said in his heart, this person who looks at his face must not only be able to speak well, but also know how to observe words and looks, and the slightest change on the other party's face cannot escape his eyes! In this line of work, the most important thing is to follow the other party's emotions, so that the other party subconsciously recognizes himself, as long as he reaches this step, he will succeed more than half! This old man can do this job, and it seems that he is also a very smart person!

Tong Lu said,

"Old man, since I've said this, I still want to ask, this Huatuo Temple has been abandoned for so long, what's the point of you risking your life to return here?!"

The old man replied,

"I don't know where else to go, after I get out of prison, everything seems to have changed, and I can only come back here! I also know that everything I have is given by my ancestors, and I will serve here all my life! Finally, I will die here, and I will always be by my ancestors' side!"

The ancestors in his mouth naturally refer to Hua Tuo! Hehe, Hua Tuo should be glad to have such a descendant treat him like this!

Tong Lu couldn't help nodding and said,

"Then, what about your family, why don't you go to them?!"

The old man quickly responded, and did not think about it at all, but listened to him,

"My family, my family, also died in that plague! Oh, my family, since then, I am the only one left! I am thinking, if I had not been extrajudicial in the past, I would have been cut down and my head would have fallen to the ground, and I would not have suffered more than ten years!"

Everyone felt sorry for him, but the old man was also very open, and said with a smile,

"But looking back, God didn't let me die like that, I should have thought about it again!yes, if I died, how could I go back here and continue to serve my ancestors?!"

Tong Lu said,

"It's not easy for you to think like that!"

The old man smiled, looked at the Huatuo stone statue, and said again,

"When I come back this time, I want to rebuild Huatuo Temple, and I will never die!"
