Chapter 266: The Willow Wine Flag
Listening only to the rustle of the placket and the branches and grass, and the sound of the wind on the clothes, the three of them rushed towards the temple like three arrows off the string.
The three of them scrambled to be the first, and neither wanted to lose to anyone.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the temple. The power of the three is almost the same.
In the end, Lu Zhengtong was two steps faster, ranking first, Mo Xingxing and Zhang Wangxi arrived almost at the same time, and the two couldn't tell the order at all.
When Lu Zhengtong turned around, both of them were standing in front of the temple, and they couldn't give them a priority, even if they were tied for second place.
But when they tied for the second time, the two of them were also responsible for what they found.
After Mo was happy, he was a little unconvinced, and also found himself a step down, he said:
"I lost time by giving orders, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen behind. Or count you as a winner. ”
Zhang Wangxi just smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, the mountain wind was blowing, and the three of them took a breath and felt a little cold.
The three of them looked at it, the appearance of this temple was quite beautiful, undamaged, although the surrounding walls were a little mottled, but they were not ventilated, and they were still very solid.
The green tiles on the roof are also relatively neat, and someone should come to repair them every once in a while. However, on this windy autumn evening, it still looks a little sad.
The three of them walked into the temple gate side by side.
This temple is said to be a temple gate, but in fact there is no gate, judging from the traces left now, there should have been a gate before. I don't know if it was destroyed naturally over time, or if I had the audacity to tear down the temple door, and now only a bare threshold remains.
There are three Bodhisattvas in the temple, the left and right two are smaller, the damage is more serious, it is not clear which great god is enshrined, but the middle one is still well preserved, more complete.
Although the paint is peeling off a lot, the general shape and appearance can still be distinguished: it is a seated statue, with a red face, holding a long beard in his hands, and a robe reaching to the ankles below the knees.
It should be Guan Gong, the God of Wealth.
There is only one incense burner in front of the three statues, and the incense burner is filled with all kinds of incense that has been burned. Some of them were all burned, some still had half of the incense head left, and some only had a small piece of bamboo skewer left.
It seems that this incense burner was used by the three bodhisattvas together.
An offering table was set up in front of the incense burner, and everyone couldn't help but laugh dumbly when they saw the offerings on the table.
On the table was an apple. It is impossible to determine how big this apple was, but now it is only the size of a fist, and it is still shriveled, and it is estimated that it will not be able to squeeze out the water in it with a jack or air compressor.
There is still a thick layer of dust on the apple, and it seems that it has not been placed here for ten days and a half months, but it is strange that there are no rats to visit it.
Zhang Wangxi glanced around the temple, only smiled and did not speak.
Lu Zhengtong saw this scene and opened his mouth to say:
"Brother Mo, it seems that your guess has deviated again. I'm afraid no one has been to this temple for three years. ”
"It's not that I estimate that there was an accident, it's that the local people can't afford to understand and don't know how to come to confess often. If the people here know about Jing Bodhisattva, we will also pick up a bargain this time. ”
"Let's honestly look for something to eat. Don't waste time here. Fortunately, we didn't say that those who came here first didn't have to look for something, otherwise it would be our business to even find food. ”
Zhang Wangxi said to Mo Xingxing with a disappointed face.
Mo Xingxing laughed at himself:
"Or I was self-aware and didn't say that, otherwise the two of us would have been miserable. Go, now I'll listen to you for everything. ”
The three of them got out of the temple and continued along the path on the right side of the mountain to find food.
Walking less than two miles along the foot of the hill, the sound of chickens and dogs came from ahead.
The first one who was excited was still Mo Xingxing:
"I'll just say, where there is a temple, there will be a home. It's not about finding something to eat. Quick, let's speed up. ”
The three of them left the hill, walked straight for more than 200 meters, and then turned left, and a small river appeared in front of them, and a few willow trees stood lifelessly on the side of the road.
But there was one thing on the willow tree that caught everyone's eye first. Everyone's eyes lit up, they couldn't believe it was true, and it didn't take much effort to find something to eat.
Because there was a wine flag beckoning to them in the willow tree. Where there is a wine flag, there is a tavern, and where there is a tavern, of course, there is food.
Getting closer, two low, small green-tiled houses are presented in front of everyone.
The two houses are in the shape of a "7" in Arabic numerals, and the back of the house is facing the three people, blocking their view.
There is a bamboo forest behind the house, and a few roosters and hens are pecking in the bamboo forest, and the roosters are amusing the hens while picking up food, and sometimes they go around the hens.
When they were tired of playing, the roosters used their crowing to relax. Just now, the three of them heard the rooster crow, and it was these roosters who made it.
Approaching the small house in front of you, there is no road directly behind this house, and you have to go around the left side of the house in front of you to go around to the front of the house.
In addition to the gurgling of water and a few rooster crows, it is as if the whole village is asleep.
On the left, under the willow wine, there is a road that leads directly to the front of the house.
The three of them had just turned under the willow tree when they saw two people. Two beauties, one wearing a red caftan, the other wearing a green caftan.
It turns out that there are people here, or two beautiful women eating here. When the two beauties saw someone coming, they glanced sideways at the same time, then turned their heads and didn't speak, just eating their things.
The two beauties raised their heads slightly, stunned the three of them. There are such beauties in the world, and the moon in the water is very beautiful, but the appearance of these two people is by no means inferior to the moon in the water.
The two of them didn't make a loud noise when they ate, they occasionally said a few words, and they also whispered, and next to them was the sound of the flowing water of the river, and the faint sound of the two was also drowned out by the sound of the flowing water, so the three of them did not hear the sound of people.
The place where the two beauties ate was not far from the three of them, thirty meters in front of them, and there was also a willow tree there. Their dining table was set under the willow tree.
The willow tree and the willow tree behind the three people didn't seem to be of the same species. The leaves behind them had fallen to the ground, but about half of the leaves behind the two beauties hadn't fallen.
The willow tree with the fallen leaves and the beautifully dressed beauty are really a perfect match.
All three seemed to feel that the two of them were somewhat familiar, but for a moment they couldn't remember where they had met.
Mo Xingxing wanted to see the appearance of the two again and get to know the two of them better, so he coughed deliberately, but the two did not raise their heads because of Mo Xingxing's cough, which made the three of them feel a little disappointed.
When the three of them saw that the beauty didn't move, you look at me, I look at you, they just stood where they were and didn't move, neither moving forward nor backward, forgetting that they still had a task.
Mo Xingxing, who walked in the head, was a good deed in his own right, and when he met a beautiful woman, he was willing to let it go, and he came up with a ghost idea, anyway, he wanted to make the two beauties look up and talk to them. He coughed again and said:
"Excuse me, dare to ask the two girls, are you the masters here?"
