As the soldier defending the city said. It didn't take long for the rain to pour down, and the pedestrians and people on the road did not shy away at all, as if they were fooling the world and confusing life.

At this time, Old Man Ge had already led the child to a ruined temple outside the city. Holding the remaining copper coin in his hand, and looking at the child who was munching on steamed buns, Old Man Ge felt a little relieved. This was the first time they had eaten a mouthful of hot food in several days, and seeing the little grandson in front of him eating so sweetly, Old Man Ge couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He is such a person, simple, kind, and never for himself. In the past six years, he has given almost everything to this unknown little grandson to grow up.

"Hey, eat slowly, eat slowly!" the child devoured and choked on his neck for a while, and burped. Old man Ge hurriedly patted the child's back, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the beating, the child eased up a little, held the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand and held it up to Old Man Ge and said, "Grandpa, you're full, you eat." ”

Looking at a pair of dirty little hands lifting half of the steamed bun to the old man, Old Man Ge took it with relief, and then broke the remaining half of the steamed bun into half, and then put it into his arms, and then ate it.

The child didn't understand why his grandfather hid the steamed buns, and his immature little face was full of doubts and asked, "Grandpa, why do you put half of it?"

Old man Ge replied: "Hehe, grandpa is afraid that you will be hungry for a while and have nothing to eat, our little Tianyou is growing his body, and he eats a lot of food!"

The child was even more puzzled when he heard this, and then asked, "Then Grandpa doesn't have a body?"

When Old Man Ge heard this, he sighed: "Alas, grandpa is old and can't last a few years, let alone what kind of body he still has." Grandpa just hopes that Xiao Tianyou can grow up quickly and be able to support himself in the future, so that grandpa can rest in peace when he dies!"

Hearing the grandfather mention the word death, the child's nose was a little sore, and he was obviously about to cry. At this moment, there was a noise outside the temple, and only a woman's voice was heard: "Senior brother, there is a temple here, let's go in and take shelter from the rain!"

Immediately afterwards, I heard a man say: "Looking at the temple door empty, the silence is like death." I'm afraid there won't be anyone. Let's go, go inside and have a look. ”

Hearing this, the two ancestors and grandsons, who were already timid, panicked for a while, but they didn't expect that someone would find this place in such weather. If those two did come in, it would mean that they would be kicked out.

The child's body began to tremble with fear, tightly grasping the corner of Old Man Ge's clothes, hiding in his arms and not daring to make a sound, looking up at his grandfather, with a look of panic in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, come, hide behind the stone statue with Grandpa. Old man Ge was also very scared, for fear that the comer would not be good at driving them away, if he drove them away, it would be better, if he used his fists and feet, he would not hurt Xiao Sun's body.

The conversation between the two outside the temple was so loud that they could be heard very clearly in the temple. As he spoke, he only heard a "bang", and the temple door was kicked open by someone who came, and the frightened old man Ge and the child who were hiding behind the stone statue immediately shook their spirits.

But Old Man Ge didn't know that at this time, the two people outside the temple also crept into the main hall, obviously very timid. I saw that there were dilapidated courtyard pillars and curtains everywhere, and there was dust on the ground, showing that the incense had been cut off for a long time.

The two of them entered the main hall and called twice, but there was no response from the eerie temple except for their own long echoes. I heard the woman tremble: "Teacher, senior brother, it looks like no one has been here for a long time." ”

Another man replied softly, "Well, it looks like no one has been here for a long time." As he spoke, the man found a stone pier, helped the woman to sit down, and continued: "Senior sister, don't be afraid, it seems to be very safe here, you sit here for a while, I will go around looking for firewood, and it will not be cold when I light the fire later." ”

When the man had finished speaking, he looked around for some broken planks from the temple and lit a fire, and then lifted up the broken door he had kicked and leaned against the doorbeam. Only then did he pat the dust on his hands, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, senior sister, I'm afraid I'm going to be wronged here tonight." Come, eat something first. ”

It turned out that these two uninvited guests claimed to be senior brothers and sisters, and they were not very old when they heard their voices, but more like two teenagers. Old man Ge breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the hand protecting the child from his head.

In the midst of this bleak temple, the girl who was called her junior sister shivered, and the fear in her heart always lingered. She stared blankly at the flames with her knees crossed, and only then did she return to the senior brother, and said quietly: "Senior brother, do you think that something will happen to the master? A year ago, the master went out of the mountain to look for the lost martial arts, but he has not returned yet, how can I always have an ominous premonition!"

The young man heard her worries, although he was also full of worries, but he didn't dare to show anything in front of the girl, so he had to comfort: "Hey, no, junior sister, Master, his old man has excellent martial arts and deep internal strength. Even if the hall master is far from him, not to mention that the master didn't he say that he asked us to go down the mountain to Suzhou this year to wait for his old man, it is estimated that it will not be long before we can meet. ”

"But ......!" the girl seemed to want to say something, and was a little excited, and stood up violently, but before she finished speaking, she only heard a scream of "Ah!", and saw the girl jump directly into the boy's arms, shouting: "Yes, there are mice!"

The young man was also taken aback by the girl's actions, and said in his heart: "What's so strange about the rats in this broken temple, this junior sister of mine is really timid and pitiful." ”

After calming the younger sister, the young man inadvertently walked to the position where the girl was standing before, looked down, and saw a steamed bun that had been trampled into mud cakes lying on the ground. The young man suddenly grabbed the girl in front of him and protected her behind him and said, "Who is here, dare to come out and see it." ”

The ancestors and grandsons, who originally thought that everything was fine, heard this person shouting, and they were very nervous again, if the other party had no malicious intentions, it would be fine, but if there was really any murderous temperament, it would be bad. But the other party has already discovered their existence, and it is definitely not possible to hide now.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of a sword unsheathed. Frightened, the grandfather and grandson almost wanted to come out immediately to beg for mercy, but Old Man Ge was in a hurry and pushed the child in his arms aside, but he rushed out.

"Is that you?" When Old Man Ge walked out of the stone statue, the girl saw Old Man Ge's appearance clearly at a glance, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, quickly put away the sword, it is the grandfather who saved the child at the city gate during the day." ”

The young man also saw Old Man Ge's appearance clearly, knew that it was a false alarm, put the sword back into its scabbard, and then saluted Old Man Ge deeply: "Old man atoned for his sins, the boy and his junior sister have come to your land for the first time, and they really bother you." ”

Old man Ge was still a little frightened, and because the temple was dim, his old eyes were dizzy, and he didn't see the appearance of these two people clearly for a while. But the two of them have a good etiquette, and they don't seem to have malicious intentions, and a hanging heart is also relaxed.

The girl thought that they had frightened the old man in front of her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, uncle, you, are you okay?"

The relieved old man Ge was called by the girl, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said to the two: "Engong is above, worship by the old man!"
